LYRICS:
Freudenfreude
Joy on joy
Cheerleader
Happy boy
Strong like bull
Vulnerable
Keep my people up
That’s my tool
Freudenfreude
Happy boy
Top seeder
Lucky coi
Heat seeker of a missile smile
Don’t let pricks take your inch to a mile
Freudenfreude
Badabing
She’s a freight train man
Watch her swing
Holy water eyes
Soft skin
Bricks and morter
Horizon begins
Sunbeams
Oh sunbeams
like God from your face
Gold sugar
Hues bright
when the salt is purer
Hold tight
Hold me to the bunsen burner
And let the waves
Crash in
Sunbeams
Oh sunbeams
like God from your face
Freudenfreude
Dopamine
Dance with time my boy
I’m a fiend
Watch the night swing by
Hold the scene
Hold aflame my boy
I’m a dream
Freudenfreude
Hot like fire
Docile prophet
puts a tune to my smile
Send it up
Like smoke to the sky
Drink my water til the river runs dry
Freudenfreude
Sister’s love
Hold the sword
So I’m soft to the touch
Hold the phone
Hold clutch
Watch me fly
Hold a mirror
To my Mother’s crying eyes
Sunbeams
Oh sunbeams
like God from your face

This song is seriously getting me through some difficult mental times. It's on repeat. And cathartic. Teaching me to remain strong while simultaneously showing compassion for others. Thank you, Idles, for the lesson.

Dancer was the first Idles song I ever heard. This is number 2 and I'm freaking LOVING them.

Glad to see that Joe also plays air drums when that sick snare beat comes in before the second verse.

[@dopetipped9673]

100 percent in for wherever you want to take this project. Been an incredible ride thus far.

[@neleratos]

This song is absolutely addictive. Pure genius 🔥

[@GMoneyMovies]

I love that Joe is wearing a promo hat for the album in the video. Also the use of color is so simple and so effective. Also the editing. Also a tremendous song. Aces all around, gents.

[@KidInPizzaShop]

These visuals are the perfect complement to this track. One of my favorite songs on TANGK. Would love to hear RTJ jump on this if there are some TANGK remixes down the road. I feel like Nigel Godrich and Kenny Beats were channeling El-P circa ISWYD or Cancer 4 Cure on this one.

[@joshwi4193]

You guys have grown so much, but you've never lost the resistance and the heart that keeps IDLES beating on. Much love from New Zealand is the fing ✌️

Oh the memories... of a time when we all bought our trees from a man dressed like this year round. 🤩❤

This song gets better and better with every listen. One of my absolute favorites from Idles, it's the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you!

[@noahgoyette467]

Beat reminds me of Idioteque from Radioheads Kid A but a bit slower and LOVE the lyrical content. Didn't think I'd find a band after I was 30 that not only resonated with me so much but also, where members did my actual job that noone I meet has ever had. (Careworker with folks with severe challenges and or/juvenile offenders, and also were hard edged softies. Just outstanding that we are lucky enough to live while they are cranking out excellent music as well as social commentary as well as love and freedom. Let us not become the next wave of yuppies/that become shamless hard hearted capitalists.
