Flobots Perform Handlebars Live (2020)

[@seanmccannwildcamping]

That last verse...that's what I've been waiting to hear

[@DarkaHollow]

Hearing this on 2020 hits a different way. like in a "we shoulda seen this one coming but it still caught us off guard anyways" way

[@Lazaro-138]

Oh yeah... this guy for sure knows what’s up.

[@joshuaswanson4211]

So glad you posted this. I was so happy to hear this live on election night

[@FFKonoko]

It's been hitting different for years... but yes, closing out after being lead by a mic piece by someone willing to let people die without health support, to support the deaths of innocent people because he didn't like them(or people tangentially related to them), supported by holocaust supporters and holocaust deniers...? Yeah, real on the nose.

[@4thTriumvir]

Too many are blind despite people like Flobots working to tear off blindfolds.

[@matanuskatundra5072]

Handlebars especially, but it's not even the only one. People are sleeping on the Flobots and it honestly pisses me off a little bit.

[@courth0208]

This song needs a re-release with that extra part added. I think it would be even bigger now with world today. Flobots we need you!

[@akashbhadra11]

THAT EXTRA VERSE ❤️ feels so complete ❤️

[@n1lla]

I feel like the 4 people that thumbed this down (at time of this writing) didn't understand that this was/is a protest song. There's been been similar recent phenomenon with people (somehow) not understanding what Rage Against the Machine's song were about and accusing them of 'becoming' political.

[@chrisrj9871]

@@n1lla - It's a LIBERal song, so it's automatically bad for good-guy Jesus and land-of-LIBERty America.

[@nickes6168]

Logged onto Youtobe for the usual. See this. Loose my shit, put life aside for 5 minutes and am in heaven. That last verse out of left field blew my mind. Re release this. Push. Brother and sisters. don;t stop.

[@rdEyrapr]

Truth!!!!!!

[@timcoyne3153]

"Me and my friends understand the future, " he said, 15 years ago. Now, I honestly believe him.

[@cbiddy88]

I see the strings that control the system

[@user-rx2ur5el9p]

If anyone else had said that line, it would've been pretentious. But they really DID understand the future.

[@borderlinepsyco1745]

It's only gonna get worse

[@cinder7258]

the protagonist is not him buddy

[@colebickley7582]

This is the perfect time for this song to make a resurgence

[@variatonesoundscape5592]

3:50 and I'm crying. How beautiful and powerful.

[@freddiejoseph4852]

I miss concerts. Powerful performance and LOVE the extra verse at the end!

[@MyRapNameIsAlex]

The Flobots hit you with that EXTRA extra. Thanks for that ending! Good to see Andy again!

[@MyRapNameIsAlex]

Also. Props to the lighting designer.

[@garrettcordova2001]

I love the new ending. The song originally makes me feel like we're all screwed by Government but that last verse reminds us that the power is in us when we unite. The positive will overcome the negative.

[@keetakitten]

This song has never been more important to today's climate. Thank you Flobots, I miss live music and Denver :)

[@MADdabber710OIL]

NEW VERSE LYRICS: Look at me, look at you, surrounded by civilization. Does it feel so good to be alive in a penitent nation? Your reach is global, your message is loud and clear. Your cause is noble... YOU'RE HERE! You could flood these streets with demonstration, Overthrow an administration, Breed new life in a generation, Save us all from disintegration, Re-discover how to speak your language, Heal the block till the streets not dangerous, Change the virus so it's not contagious, Make the liars unlock the cages. You can build alternatives to prison doors, You can find forgiveness, forgiveness for yourself, Witness the risen lord! You can channel power from a different source! You can bring us all back from the brink and stop a civil war! From the "killer floor"? You can save this planet from a holocaust, From a holocaust! From a holocaust! You can save this planet from a holocaust! From a holocaust! From a holocaust!!! I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars, no handlebars. I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars, no handlebars...

[@elizabethgeorge168]

Overthrow an administration* but solid work 👌

[@elizabethgeorge168]

Also, I think the missing/misheard lyric is "the killing floor". Which refers to labor unions, racial tension, etc.

[@HEXVGRVM]

Daaaamn thanks bro!

[@benmcmahon4167]

Just what 2020 needed

[@terastodon]

Amazing performance. God damn that violinist is insane!

[@TENRAN432]

XRA pfp spotted! Fritata!

[@trippingandbrowsing1269]

Can you imagine the energy this would have had with a crowd? The lyrics to this hit harder than ever.

[@overlayzspec5176]

So cool seeing how much they’ve improved musically and expressively since they first recorded the song

[@Velvetx4cove]

I really need to buy this updated version of Handlebars. I'll pay whatever for it. This hit so hard and I'm glad I lived to hear it.

[@gabenight7]

Shivers. Shivers. Omfg that end bit. Just yes.

[@SINISTER69er]

Dam flobots its been years guys.. years good to see you.

[@jeremyclough4684]

That last verse is absolute 🔥🔥🔥. It blows me away that this entire album is still relevant today.

[@IslandTourist]

We seek power and status when we are young only to later realize we paid a huge price in the process and then wish we can return to the carefree younger days. Mad respect to this song.... it speaks a lot of truth into those five minutes.

[@maskalaskaessade1046]

Holy shit, YES

[@HEXVGRVM]

That freestyle in the end… 🤯 daaaamn! That’s god tier and ultra quality!

[@bradmullaney8497]

I still get goose bumps when I hear this song. Thank you flowbots. Keep the faith. One love.

[@lpris]

I saw the length of this video and knew you guys were going to give us something special. That last verse hit hard.

[@phelpsfilchat]

Could you put this version up on spotify. the positivity at the ends cheers me up a lot

[@KSmitty905]

Honestly? You guys crushed it. Loved that additional verse at the end.

[@TAL77777]

[@TacetTheTerror]

3:34 for the new verse repeat button. 3:50 for when lyrics start.

[@rohay8146]

Does he say" in a penitent nation" ? Or what

[@juniorsguitarranch6368]

Saw them in Asheville a couple years ago. One of the best shows I have been to in a long time!

[@calebtennison9353]

This song is timeless.

[@_Fury]

Man that last verse hits the nail on the head

[@Harshsharma5]

Flobots are the music of the revolution! ✊🏼✊🏻✊🏾
