Lyrics:
All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say yeah
I’m tellin you why
Time I’ve been gone
I been strugglin’ alone
Keepin’ all of my demons to myself
I’m saving my grace
For that heavenly place
To the sun, I will sing you my song
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Never coming back down
All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say hey
I’m tellin you why
Hard as it’s been, to begin once again
Just a friend on the wind seekin’ shelter
There’s a crack in the sky, and a light from on high
I get higher and higher when I’m with her
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Never coming back down
All of those beautiful people say hey
All of those beautiful people stay high
All of those beautiful people say hey
I’m tellin you why
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Never coming back down
All of those beautiful people say hey (Nah nah nah nah nah)
All of those beautiful people stay high (Nah nah nah nah nah)
All of those beautiful people say hey
I’m tellin you why (Never coming back down)

this is the kind of song we’re gonna hear in commercials and tv shows

[@JENNIFERBOO]

for the next iphone...lols

[@johnnytimestamp8224]

slap a logo on a 30 second chunk and its ready to go

No doubt!!!

You can tell Beck was involved with this. Got his sound written all over it :)

[@israelb.426]

fck! you're right!

[@TokyoBlue587]

That's why it sounds so familiar!

[@BloodyDeeJay]

My ex was called Beck , and she had no input , so yeah 😂

[@wnerko7484]

Yep.becks song E-PRO.20yr old song.to me it wasnt memorable Beck.1 of his throwaway tunes

[@nickshaw6085]

Totally hear that!

[@johnbatcheller258]

Chuck Berry bless The Black Keys for keeping rock n’ roll alive.

[@XOChristianaNicole]

It’s been raining, constantly - and today’s the first sunny, beautiful day, in two weeks. It’s, definitely, a Black Keys music kinda day. The boys are back, and I couldn’t be more stoked. Rock on, fellas.

[@grizzato]

YESSSSS

[@lucacastellaro3221]

Dancing people always works. It's a formula. It worked for Lonely Boy. They've done it again. It works again.

[@MsCakeClub]

South African director? Yes. South African location? Yes. Can the Black Keys come play in South Africa already?! YES

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

This shows you the appeal of The Black Keys, it crosses many lines. Been a fan for a long time now, one of my favorite bands ever.

[@sebass337]

what lines

[@davidmontanya4718]

I'm only 62 😊 been Jamming to the Black keys for years. ✌️❤️🥁🪘🎸🎤 OH -

[@QoraxAudio]

Yep, but I liked their more raw stuff like magic potion, rubber factory and brother the most! And the little black submarines: definitely not the happiest of songs... BUT WHAT A MASTERPIECE!

[@conor7154]

wtf are you talking about? That’s not profound.

[@rossmurray6979]

We all know we will be listening to this in 10 years

[@danallshaw1131]

Engineered with that late 60's background harmonies and fuzz. Like listening to the A.M. radio back in the early 70's. 😎🎸🎸🎸.

[@lisaspringer0296]

That must be why I loved this song as soon as I heard it.

If you like the blues, I think we can 💫

[@David65702]

First I heard this song and I love it!! Glad the Black Keys are still rocken ...nobody else is.

[@Hashashasheen]

They nail every single song no matter the genre, what ridiculous creative output.

[@kel5944]

Maybe I’ve missed something recently. What songs do they have that aren’t blues rock?

[@Blues2green]

@@kel5944A lot umm if you wanna check check turn blue, el Camino got some poppy-ish tracks, and they have soulful stuff sometimes. Their labeled by people as alternative or indie(but I agree with you as in Blues Rock/Garage is their spot most the time) Ohh! Check out their blacroc album bc it’s hip hop dude it’s sick!

[@licensedtoill9278]

Most of their new shit is Pop Rock, this is Pop Rock. The Black Keys haven't been the Black Keys for about 7 years now.@@kel5944

[@kerntallett1976]

They are a great band but a lot of this album has had many other collaborators. This song is Beck thru and thru for example.

[@PrincessDeepMusic]

Absolutely wonderful. Sending wishes for success, health, love, and happiness to all who hear this!

[@brandonhall5615]

Sayin' "Hey!!" to all you beautiful people out there!!!

The great music aside, can we appreciate just how AMAZING this video looks? The colors, the style, the look, the characters, the moves, the editing... just wow guys. Wow.

[@janganjerit]

Imo the lyric video for this song is just perfect for Black keys. These kind of over produced video aint it

[@mightytaiger3000]

It looks like a commercial. very generic and the editing is not impressive.

[@hungrypumpkins77]

Loved it too, fits the vibe of the song perfectly

[@AlekseyLoykuts]

Let's face it - dancing beatiful people are the best kind of music videos, no matter the genre

I can’t believe how much I really enjoyed this video. Simple. Stimulating. Hard to do.

[@Magnanimous17]

this song can brighten the darkest of days😊❤️‍🔥

[@Si5ive]

This song gives me such a happy, joyous feeling and it gives me hope in myself and the human race. Sure we’re gonna get sick of it cuz it’s gonna be used in a 100 commercials but if I was the black keys, I’d take the money too. The brands are buying the good feeling we get when we listen to this to sell their crap. That’s on them and no one else. I just wanna dance every time I hear it.

[@MeAre-l6p]

I'm 70. Old ugly and Poor lady lol This "HIT, groove, track, song, " blew my skirt up. THANK YOU, thank you black keys! There is HOPE, THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF. THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[@briankelly5816]

You go girl 70 is the new young!!! And I agree it's fantastic ❤

[@rlnjms]

The Black Keys are legends. Beck is a genius. So why does this song blow?

[@jackallenproductions]

So the band can gage just how little effort they have to put in and still get a positive reaction.

[@NickSBailey]

stick some 90s Beck style lyrics on it and a few out of genre interludes and it'd be great, as a straight song it's okay but average

[@conor7154]

Because it’s a terribly generic song that was made for the radio. It’s literally music for target commercials. That’s not surprising since they’ve already admitted to making music for commercial reasons (your team is looking good).

[@sixty7ford]

It doesn’t, your assignment is to loop it, until you can sing all the lyrics, na na na na na … and then come back and apologize, for being such a putz 😅

[@rpeters5133]

I find an uplifting level of joy from this. Thanks for helping the new year.

[@matguerra333]

You must love the local dollar general.

[@gothamdragon69]

Lmao I've been telling everyone this

[@Jaketacular420]

😂

[@borelturnpike1347]

please explain?

[@thegrandinquisitor8239]

​@borelturnpike1347 the video looks like Chevrolet's current ad campaigns for their vehicles. All their ads have people doing goofy dancing and don't tell you anything about the vehicles or why you should by one.

[@Unplugged70]

Honestly though… it just sounds like a car advert too. Huge Beck fan. Like The Black Keys. Not feeling this at all.

[@johnhutchinson7343]

I'm young enough to love this song, but old enough that I'm watching it and saying to myself: "I wonder if those people are famous and I'm not cool enough to know who they are?"

[@hunterm9]

And too young to know they're OGs

[@angiegowen2917]

They've got th coolest video's rock on black keys

[@avg1005]

This subgenre should be called “corporate rock”

[@christiancamlin13]

In America there is no such thing. Corporations see rock as dead. It still sells in Europe but not here.

[@andrewpappas9311]

This honestly reminds me of the video for Lonely Boy with everyone dancing and I love that, killer song as well but then again these guys don’t miss with those

This is great. The Black Keys are such a great band. I love that Bass Sax "squelch" sound (I think it's a Bass Sax) underpinning the rhythm. Simon & Garfunkel used one in 'The Boxer'.
