[@SyVallone]

Wow. Can't believe this song is 10 years old. I remember being a teenager and jamming to this.

[@eladam135]

Sy Vallone Loves You we still are friend

[@AidenLS]

I found this band in 2006 or so from a friends iPod and man this band is what I think of when I say the world "nostalgia" this is one of the only non popular bands I found somehow and honestly I love them so much and anyone who appreciates their music style.

[@caitlinking3296]

me Too! Here in 2021

[@AidenLS]

@@caitlinking3296 hope you have a wonderful day and remember everyone who has you in their life is lucky because you make them smile and I hope those people make you smile too because your smile can do wonders for people.

[@ididntsaythat]

17 now, and on their last tour

[@cMONSTERitd]

The real coolest part is how we beat the robots in that crazy war back in 2009

[@elizabethbennet4791]

lol

[@ricanboy57]

still one of my favorite songs

[@Thex57]

Same after 6 years

[@codykanitz97]

this makes me wanna tear up the nostalgia is so heavy with this song 😭

[@EdOnArrival]

When the guitar solo comes, and the bass interlocks with it, is one of my favorite moments on the album. And this is one of my favorite albums, so that’s saying something. This, maybe 20 minutes of music material, stands up over 15 years later as a shining example of musicianship on the part of EVERY band member!

[@polarity1]

The lyrics in this song play out like a movie script it's so awesome. My favorite song by them.

[@CenTexMex101]

Very thx 1138'ish vibe to me

[@apcreed]

This future has almost come to fruition.

[@elizabethbennet4791]

elon musk is running an underground cave lab of cyborg children and AI robots engineering spce rockets in california

[@peterlittle]

I love their sound, like young garage indie. I hope they never loose that feel

[@jacoborwin6579]

Hahahahahahahaha your wish did not come true at all :( also image if all of a sudden a random voice responded to something you said 13 years ago. Crazy eh?

[@ianclap]

"That's 2009" lol Well I cant wait!

[@rubene.2213]

Oh man the nostalgia

[@charlez360]

thanks IMF/Fuse for spreading this my way!!! great track. i usually like rap but..damn, i like this!

[@shehackedyou]

I have always loved this song, but you are more than this song. Also I know that the keyboardist is a goon

[@Zukmaster]

Their album is fantastic. If you don't own it, you need to fix that. It's fantastic. I've listened to it nearly 100 times and it still gets my heart pumping. 10/10

[@Numbcore9]

ok talk about a crazy riff. pretty chill bass beats. Nice snare work. And good vocals that kid is great live too. AND my favorite the keyboardist he is insane.

[@TheSaintsAssasin]

Bro im listening to this in 1920

[@joshuaculley9695]

I remember seeing them on a few episodes of the original Desperate Housewives show. They went under a different band name. It was pretty cool.

[@PWV]

best song in their concerts always!

[@xavierfraiz3094]

It's an amazing song. But the best are the lyrics. We are forewarn. Some attention there, people!

[@justindavis7355]

God reminds me of 2006 so hard.

[@RedHorrors]

The lead has two voices. One relaxed, And one like Jules. COOL.

[@sweatermouth1]

This is such a good song, one of my favorites. His voice is so haunting.

[@BrettBarnett485]

wow, those lyrics were so meaningful, they touched my heart.

[@iHooDoo]

this song is so haunting and absolutely beautiful

[@Braye93]

OMG! I Love this band. My Boyfriend got me addicted to them. I still say the lead singer sounds like Kermit the Frog. I love the Guitar Solo in this song too. AWESOME!

[@mayhemnecrobutcher]

this is for sure there best song...

[@jubylantk]

This song is the best btw thank you

[@thomwd]

Usually, I'm not really interested in videos that go with music, but this ones great! And the song is one of the best I know

[@theguitarhero3]

they rocked at the portland coloseim last night...it was awsome.

[@khris369]

Still here

[@Kaleb34]

yep. my sister used to be friends with the drummer greg. I used to vaguely know him, he went to my elementary school and high school. Also one of my best friends lived besides where they recorded their first demo in this basement. I forget who's house it was. I have the demo CD some where.

[@patrickgrondines3608]

[@methemoon22]

[@Pullkeenantail]

This and Be Good are the best songs of A Lesson In Crime...Can't wait for the full album..

[@sidubsy]

Were you satisfied with it 16 years ago when it came out?

[@ianclap]

I think this is there best song..

[@ThomasBaxter]

NO WE CAN'T! NO WE WON'T!

[@TeamZissou88]

just saw them tonight, excellent show guys. Cheers.

[@thisisnotlouisrez]

Josh actually posted in official tab of this and be good on the Tokyo Police Club forums, so just check that out.

[@general1penguin]

before i heard of TPC...i listened to mainly hardcore rock, alternative, and heavy metal, then the Killers and the Strokes but now TPC makes me wanna listen to indie and only indie lol

[@lsslink222]

This is a pretty sweet song, i just started liking these guys.

[@moshiemoro]

the bass for this song is amazing

[@StayTru20]

damn, i dont even listen to this kind of music alot, but honestly this band is raw as hell. i love the nature of the experiment, cheer it on, and this one is jus another great song, ppl need to recognize tokyo police club more

[@MirumeXChaos]

How can I say this; this song is just unique in a beautiful way. Riffs and otherwise.

[@Abc1234xxx]

Who else first saw this on MTVu in a college dorm-room?

[@deneenmc387]

AI Is REAL...TPC be/been Knowin'....one of my all time favs..among too many! 🤘🎸😉💖

[@mattvandeberg]

This is the best song ever written.

[@bigmacontour]

ya, some are very short and seem to end when they're just developing. I'm thinking the next album will have some longer songs for sure

[@nickbryantfyi]

Ive always loved old tokyo police club but never really hear much acclaim about their stuff

[@mfrazier92]

thats the coolest part it's 2009 now.

[@ImprovingSlowly]

I saw these guys at the rogers picnic truely amazing

[@edsmit1]

Great song. Great band.

[@michaelangelo1syd]

Ya these guys were Amazing live!

[@MsPhishy89]

True. It's just that many people will say, "Oh, they're my favorite Canadian band!" Well, TPC is one of my favorite bands- without recognizing the fact that they're Canadian. So sorry, and thanks for clearing that up.

[@Surealsix]

TPC is just simply amazing.

[@TheNineteenKing]

If this didn't have credits, I would sworn this was Death Cab for Cutie.

[@plasmazr]

I saw them live at Jingle Bell Rock in Saskatoon, it was KICK ASS!!!

[@Zorica12]

Well, all the songs of TPC rock!!! But I think this is my favorite!

[@ColRon]

I love tokyo police club amazing song, great video - 5*

[@morrisonsgh0st]

I could listen to this song over and over again. In fact, I am. The video's pretty sweet in its own right. Also, get ready for the RFID chip everybody! I think one day we may look back at this song as very prescient.

[@Surealsix]

i looooooovee this song! lyricly amazing!

[@shadows170]

la mejor banda del mundo

[@Mineav]

Yeah, I love the solo, too. I can post a tab for it if anyone needs it, although it's probably pretty easy for most people to figure out.

[@RYUindie31]

man this is srsly like the best song i have ever heard. it has like some of the best lyrics and originality. TPC is a damn good band and if you havent picked up thier cd i would suggest doing so it is well worth the 13.99

[@mattandkev]

Chaaarrlotte i actually looked up that MK ULTRA thing, i must say quite intreeeging

[@timgillihanfan5945]

Too real now

[@Mysteezx]

His VOICE.IS.AMAZING :)

[@CJDownz]

Funny cause when they played this live the clapping at the start was matched by the clapping of the crowd, but of course the crowd speeds it up by like x2 and they have to play it so much faster lol

[@Numbcore9]

sounds like a kick azz tour. what tour

[@shadows170]

que buena cancion, los mejores del indie

[@armadylo94]

yeah and also made me think about what else they could have done.... :S

[@nkm46]

these lyrics are so intense and it looks like the person gets shot or something at 2:41

[@polarity1]

I'm guessing that's the chip that the robots implanted in his heart exploding cause he was trying to escape.

[@muralla4000]

awesome

[@Donbon25]

It reminds me of something along the lines of a Ray Bradbury story, he's very conscious of where we'll be in the future... even if he's dead. Humans will eventually die of civilization.

[@GoatWaffles]

Pretty sure it's debut :]. I have a signed copy ;D

[@suitable123]

Well Potatoepumpkin Their Lyrics Are The Best And The Have The Best Beats And Base Parts In A Quick Sentece Their Just Plainly The Best

[@meifu]

Agreed.

[@crazysocks22]

I love when he says "then the robots'll blow me apart"

[@obliviouspet]

when he yells he sounds a lot like julian from the strokes. cool band.

[@squiremuldoon5462]

I survived, but at what cost?

[@TR33T0P03]

[@snipsnaptastic3287]
