What led me here...Cillian Murphy's Versace campaign. The soundtrack for the clip is this song handpicked by Murphy himself: “Boys in the Better Land” by the actor’s fellow Irishmen, the Dublin post-punk band Fontaines D.C.

He spits out Brits out!!! 🍀

[@rattlesnakehawkweed1876]

Yep but he (the taxi driver) is angry, hopeless and helpless, hence only smoking Carrols (a brand only available in Dublin) and hence, the person/mindset the boys are escaping for the better land

[@DenVoloskov]

Pure poetry👌

[@damienpunch1365]

I'm getting a thin Lizzy vibe 👍👍 go on boys doing us Irish proud

[@rockall123]

With great songs it’s always good to see that they can work well in various versions. e.g. There’s about 5 different versions of Tears by The Chameleons, some slightly different and 1 substantially so, but all of them great and complementing each other. Same here.

[@popwilleatitself7593]

[@bojanbjelica]

Heard this a month ago for the first time, while driving from Heathrow airport to Basildon, Essex... I first thought, this is something from the '80 I never heard. I tried with shazam but nothing..It took me a while to find the name, title, etc.. For that week, this was my 24/7 soundtrack ... England is probably the only place where you can still hear something good and new for the very first time...

[@andyhanrahan]

"spits out 'brits out', only smokes Carroll's" 😉 even you must appreciate that line. These are an Irish band my friend.

[@bojanbjelica]

@@andyhanrahan I do.. this doesn't change my statment on England (or the UK)...

fair enough. You have to go digging for new stuff elsewhere maybe. Anyway, it's all good. I'd listen to BBC radio 6 a lot if you've anymore on line stations to recommend, much appreciated
