Flobots - The Circle In The Square (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@TheEndlessEye]

The Flobots are a total gem in modern music. They can make catchy songs, they have a very conscious and socially aware attitude, they love people and care about their community, and overall they're amazing human beings. Total pleasure to have the privilege to work with people like this. I wish them nothing but the stars, to all our benefit.

[@crazyqualin365]

My friends make fun of me for singing along with this song 8 years ago. I'm happy and don't need to judge others for what they like to make myself feel better.

Hoping Flobots messages permeates 2024 and beyond...

Hands in the air Presidents, prime ministers They said that we didn't care But that isn't fair Hands in the air Presidents, prime ministers They said that we didn't care But we're the circle in the square Up, hands in the air Presidents, prime ministers They said that we didn't care We're the circle in the square The time is now, our time has come We show them how, what can't be done No matter what they say or they don't say We make a way out of no way Against the gun, beneath the veil Yes we can, too big to fail We are the ones we're waiting for We save ourselves; Praise the lord We are sly and the family Stone in calamity Triumph when thrown to the domes Of these Goliaths Planted seeds in silence And granted meek compliance And in the spring rain exploded in a riot Of color and excitement Wearing no disguises Declaring to the stars that we trek like enterprises Of candlelight revivals and how we lift the blindfolds We end in Revelation, like it was the Bible We are the circle in the squee-are We breathe air the same as the ones who didn't prepare Don't be scared Whatever time it was when you began The clock is now 11:55 on the big hand So you're invited into the circle that we sleep in Invited to depend on friendships we deepen To uncover the secrets in the [breath] that we're bleepin The treasures maps we pretend we do not believe in Show us how to Party at the protest, Rally like a rockstar Yaya, yaya, allahu akbar Do svidaniya Ego Foster all the people El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido Party at the protest, Rally like a rockstar Yaya, yaya, allahu akbar Do svidaniya Ego Foster all the people El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido We are the night light bearers for night terrors We are group dreamers, vision seekers and pall bearers In aftermath of blight errors, blood type and marrow to the bone oaths And beat hope into plow shares We're balancing the balance beam Pulling strings from battle scene tapestries And ravenous advocates for smaller teams Pop the bubbles of crystal schemes We are the sleep walkers for stalled dreams Up, hands in the air Presidents, prime ministers They said that we didn't care We're the circle in the square

初めてラジオでこの曲を聴いてなんてかっこいい！と思った11年前。当時日本のネット上にフロボッツの名前はほとんど検索に上がらずただKZbinでだけ聴いていました。もっと知られてもっと評価されてもいいと思う。

Same, I woke up from a crazy dream and handlebars was randomly playing in my head so I had to listen to it, I hadn't heard it in like 7-8 years

[@HobbitausBochum]

Gosh ... I can't express my love for them. Flobots isn't just an awesome band but a very important and necessary one in times like these. Greetings from Germany, Matt!

[@danielsalazar5636]

PLEASE COME TO LIMA, PERU!

[@DHSDunner]

one of only few (!!!) bands where you can listen to the words and music separately and always get a masterpiece. And when you put it together....

[@jpmoose2330]

I saw these guys live a while back. After the show they stayed to sign t-shirts and stuff for people. I got in the line, expecting for them to leave by the time I got to the front. They must have stayed three hours after the show signing things for people. They were just about the last people there. The best part, though, was when a little kid didn't have enough money to buy a t-shirt for them to sign and they decided to give him a free signed t-shirt. That was when they became my favorite band.

[@koshadillztv]

playing and hosting with these guys on may 23rd!! mint la!

[@STHProductions666]

I love You. Seriously. A few years ago my cousin said "listen to this band. They will be famous some day". I started listening and I couldn't stop. It's like I'm infected. Infected with love expressed in art. This is what music is all about. You are what music is all about. You are what the whole world should be. If You ever read this, well, I don't know what's going to happen but if you'll let me know I'll be as happy as I can imagine a human being to be. Greetings from Germany, Tristan

[@fredericleitenberger2213]

+1 from Germany, too 😘

[@kerrybegeman2814]

Every once in a while, a band with nothing but positive messages comes along and changes the world

[@rippinstitches7394]

You know, I'm mostly conservative, but I love this band. The way I see it, as long as you're making people think for themselves, then that's good.

[@luckyluc009]

Flobots are so fantastic. :) Nice music video too; wish I had found this album earlier.

[@georgesrodrigues2451]

Merci à vous.

[@Whit-dcat]

Love is a revolution

[@kidsandheroes01]

As always a very intricate and fantastic piece. So sad that I will have to miss you on another trip to Seattle. If you haven't seen FLOBOTS live, do it! They're stellar performers. Jonny / Rabbit - fantastic lyrics, powerful rhetoric, Jesse - lovin' the heavy bass, Mackenzie - lovely contribution as ever, congratulations Kenny - liked seeing you as a teacher, Andy - miss ya. So awesome, if you want to make the trip to Africa my students think you're awesome. Greetings from Rwanda! Michael

[@vampireprince5006]

I am working on it! gah i can only listen to it so many times a day before i have to sleep and i cant just keep pressing refresh, everytime i hear the first second i have to listen to the entire thing and i love every second of it, 10,000 of these have to be me alone

[@danielsalazar5636]

FLOBOTS, PLEASE COME TO PERÙ!

[@AnimeSprings]

I absolutely love Flobots, they don't get anywhere near the amount of recognition as they should.

[@dustinledford7370]

The Flobots really do inspire me to go out and try to help anybody or make some kind of change. just like @TheEndlessEye said they are a gem. thank you for all you do and hope to see you guys up in Minnesota soon. oh and Jonny5 i just found Onomatopoeia and what ive heard off of it its awesome. thank you

[@PsyKoGareth]

Everybody needs to chill about the meaning's of songs. Relax. Enjoy the music. If you find a great meaning in the song, or something that you can relate to, then that's great. You have something that you can take from it. If not, enjoy the song for what it is. If you can't enjoy the song, there are all those pretty buttons to the right that have something for you to enjoy

[@xUnknowNRECONx]

You guys are awesome your unique sounds makes you guys one of my favorite bands out there.

[@Kitver0]

I love this violinist

[@lastfirst23163]

The message that I feel is conveyed through these lyrics is a message of open revolution. This message awakens a "want" inside of me that is ingrained in my soul. This "want" is ingrained in me from the day my forefathers payed the ultimate sacrifice to make The United States of America an independent country, a country of freedom. That want that I feel inside of me is one of freedom, because everyday I look around and realize more and more that I'm not free.

[@MarkandSandieInMotion]

New to Flobots, love their work. Music and passion is so awesome.

[@PrometheousSG1]

You guys should come to Baltimore!

[@arjaycirigliano4779]

it's great to see healthy activism has a voice.

[@pdxbrit23]

Only 89 views doesn't seem right! I just want to take a minute to say thank for fighting for what is right. It's not an easy path but when you know it's right it certainly makes it easier. The one thing that always renews my hope is remembering just how many people who are out there right now, this minute fighting for our future. Thank you.

[@X0X55]

I didn't know about you guys just 15 minutes before! But now I'm big fan of you guys! PEACE OUT

[@TheEarthquake99]

They just did, which means I get to favorite and like it twice!

[@NerdyStarkid]

This song is amazing!!! The flobots are amazing!!! Why can't more people see this?!

[@likeapolygraph]

To those saying that having "Allah" in this song is innappropriate, you apparently don't know anything about the Flobots or what they put into their songs. The phrase used, which translates to "God is great" is no different than saying "Praise the lord" for Christians or a similar phrase used by any other religion. It is by no means bad or disrespectful, it is an expression of several cultures. Following that line is a Spanish phrase that means "The people united will never be defeated." Unite!

[@bigninjajim98]

I'll be honest till I heard this song on Radio Dead Air. I only knew the Flobots for "No Handlebars" I don't listen to much radio these days and I can't remember the last time I bought music of any kind. And I don't mean I downloaded from shareware sites, I just don't have a device to really carry my music around with. So when I heard this song I gotta say I loved it, and it may make me buy some music again.

[@kevinescoda8829]

Yeah boyz since Platypus i follow every move from ur amazing band. Flight With Tools is a masterpiece. Don't sleep on it. Handlebars was a storm! thinking about it very time i run my bike with no handlebars :) A lil' bit disapointed by Survival Story, which is a good one, but less hip-hop than Flight With Tools. But hey, it's a Flobots one, so god dammn good. I buy right now Circle In The Square from amazon. So happy to hear you back. Hopping to see you one day in france.

[@ILLUStv]

Fresh. Mad respect for what you guys do.

[@Jaydiebz]

Flobots are musicians and in my opinion very talented ones. If you actually take the time and look deeper into Johnny 5's lyrics and interviews to me its mind blowing and revolutionary.

[@ezioauditoredafirenze5584]

I have all three albums. I really like there songs

[@EternalHorizon7]

very nice!!!!

[@TheEarthquake99]

When I listen to this without the video, I feel like at the very beginning, when he's talking quieter, it's in black and white, but when he says, "We're the circle in the square," it turns to color. I guess that would totally fit the song with everybody "exploding with color."

[@MrHiimdarragh]

long live the flobots!

[@HannahHatesHippos1]

They're coming to my school on day without hate!

[@PRdude]

I like the fact that there's a black guy, a Hispanic guy, and a woman in this band. Diversity rules.
