Parquet Courts - "Pulcinella" (Official Music Video)

[@that1facester]

"Alright, take us home Freddie..." My man took me straight to a face full of tears. "Darling it's me, as the mask comes off, it always was." This song, this rendition of this song, is more than my heart can handle.

[@scottbirksted]

This is my favourite song on the album, and I think this is a real human performance.

[@PessimisticPete]

god, that bit where he takes off into the sax solo after "take us home, freddie" always sends my soul into the stratosphere.

[@17superjack]

I saw this show, and it was two days after I moved to chicago. First thing I got to see up here and it was incredible.

[@DateTwoRelate]

A sax solo that was so heartfelt, it brought tears to my eyes.

[@eneDK5594]

You're right

[@ChrisSeahorse]

60 years old and I grew up listening to punk rock. Yeah and I love garage rock too. But nothing gets me more than a great saxophone solo and this one totally kicked ass. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Ramie544]

What other artist would put out an incredible cover of their own song in lieu of a straight-ahead video of their own? Brave choice that pays off in spades!

[@professionalhater66]

that was incredible. tysm pq members, crew and associated acts, you really made my day with this video

[@dgriite]

hard agree, couldn't have said it better!

[@CJKeene06]

Boy oh boy… I’m going to have to fall in love with the grayscale clown now aren’t I? No disrespect to the wonderful album cut, but this performance paired with this video is such a slam dunk. Such a fucking dunk. The intimacy of putting on the clown makeup. The stripped down instrumentation. The DISSOLVES DURING THE SAX SOLO. It’s Pulcinella: Noir Edition, and I’m over the moon.

[@davidadams2395]

I didn't expect to be so moved and soothed when I clicked play.

[@scottwrba8315]

Saw this live at Brooklyn steel so awesome!

[@AndremakesYTvideos]

This version is incredible

[@leonsalgeuro]

*LYRICS [pulled from our good friend Genius]* I want things so much more than I want to sometimes And it feels like my brain is the binary code’s problem now But I’d rather be stuffed with straw than made of tin Because the mind wanders home like a cat does When it knows it’s time to feed again There are some places I won’t go near You can measure their fright by the shade I turn Right when they’re asked about I drag a chain of faces and names Some I’ve cut off, some were lost Some will always be locked to me I know you, at least I knew that I’d know you someday You’re no more a stranger than the Smile that shines out from the moon And I’m not in the mood to be lonely no more So I act like someone on familiar terms With the uneasy side of love I got so wrecked up waiting for you Now your cheeks are pushed high With the salt from your eyes in the taste of them Who am I when I can’t be unwound? “Darling, it’s me”, as the mask comes off 
“It always was”

[@venabulisvincoaeternus]

the feeling of frisson and a longing to go home (a home i don’t know where it may be - a home i’ve never known; not the places i’ve rooted in, a place where i’ve never grounded filled with smells i’ve never experienced and a place where the shadows look foreign) possessed my heart. unconscious tears streamed down my face during this performance - an ode for the ages. thank you for the feeling, it has marked my soul in an indelible way.

[@kludgybrains3459]

The lyrics never penetrated till I heard this version. Wow. Andrews become even more direct over the years.

[@nickgrant6480]

There are some places I can't go near... What's more human than that sentiment.

[@sugartzus]

I've been wanting to see this vid again so bad

[@justinwallen6427]

I can't stop listening to both versions of this song. So good

[@ColinStevenJohnson]

This is the greatest gift.

[@gabrieledigennaro61]

it always catches my mind and my soul dragging me far away

Potentíssima esta musica. Uma versão muito melhor que o original. Uma voz, um piano, um saxofone, sintonia perfeita. Não consigo transcrever a beleza que este tema tem para mim.

What a cool and interesting idea, using someone else's version of your song for the music video!

[@romanlouche5220]

Poignant bath of pathos winking through the algorithm

[@morganburt2565]

might be a hot take but i was so relieved when i heard the album version…

[@deadringer444]

Tbh my hot take is that this version is better!!

[@professionalhater66]

@@deadringer444 that is indeed a hot take haha. I'd say both versions are incredible in their own way. I wouldn't listen to this version without its video, but I keep coming back to it so...
