LYRICS:
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere to go
Many years ago
Would you allow?
Could you allow?
That’s what they’re like
Did you look?
Did you look?
Heavenly, heavenly sort of sounds adolescent
Well I told you not, not to look from the start?
When the sun is almost gone it’s way too much
Enough said
Enough sense
It’s unconventional
When the sun is almost gone it’s not enough
Suddenly, finally without a yell I’ll listen
That’s what we’re like in broad daylight
Soon you’ll realize
It’s after midnight
My memories, souvenirs, some originals
High up in the rows
Idolized, canonized
That morning rise
I told you not,
I told you not
No veneer behind the mirror
Did you call from a distance?
Well I told you not, not to look from this side
When the sun is almost gone it’s way too much
Enough said
Enough sense
It’s unconditional
When the sun is almost gone it’s not enough
Suddenly, finally without a yell I’ll listen
That’s what we’re like in broad daylight
Soon you’ll realize
It’s after midnight
Listen it’s illicit
Listen listen it’s illicit
Listen listen it’s illicit
Listen listen listen

[@henryryans8720]

The fact that this song can still sound nostalgic even when it’s first released… amazes me😳

[@henryrazmus263]

100%

[@mornehuman6723]

It's called an analogue synthesizer. It's what gives you that fuzzy nostalgia.

[@Lovetfirstsight]

Damn so that’s the feeling.. wow Genius

[@FcoGabler]

80s vibe, that's why feels nostalgic

[@unterstrichteo]

First time hearing this I had tears in my eyes and I dont know why. I'm just so happy Phoenix' Music is in my life for over 15 years since I'm 10 years old. Thank you for existing guys ❤ You made my life a better one.

[@DialogDontArgue]

Many years ago around 2006 I was in a pawn shop and bought a DVD of Lost in translation starring Bill Murray and Scarlett johansson. Somewhere in that movie You hear too Young by Phoenix play. That's where the journey started for me LOL

[@qiboeliyonkplayground]

everlasting buzzing. ❤️🦚

[@andresanvar7152]

I cry too, but si for this song is a peacefull

[@wwzzyyy]

True, true

[@GoGetYoMama]

No greater truth than this. I'm also truly grateful for their music

[@davideraviola8840]

Definitely the best song of the album to me.. it has all that right kind of vibes from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and Bankrupt mixed together

[@joeabortaw1092]

Yes!! 🎉

[@RalfAnodin]

And with a video that recalls It’s Never Been Like That.

[@juanquiroga7924]

Yeah! This song defines perfectly the sound of Phoenix.

[@matheuss3364]

for me it's the best song on the album so far. on repeat since the release.

[@gisellemmarie]

I agree, this song reminds me of a song that should be part of it’s never been like that/ bankrupt albumI’m glad that they still keep their original sound.

[@msieudavid]

Same! My favourite part is at 2:28!!

[@DjangoOvlidarLaFruita]

You should have heard it live, even better, so good though I agree really so good ☄️

[@msieudavid]

@@DjangoOvlidarLaFruita I will soon!! I will see them in Brussels 😁

[@badghoul]

@@msieudavid lucky duck! I hope they come to Utah

[@dimitriorlov4542]

The chorus need to be put on repeat… the song is criminally too short !!! ❤

[@yamabushi_nate7825]

I don’t know how Phoenix keeps doing it this good after all this time.

[@mothom323]

With all the craziness in the world, it’s so nice to hear new Phoenix ❤

[@samisparkleheart]

Agreed 🙂

[@Rob954ever]

I'm almost 58. I've been listening to Phoenix from their inseption. l love them because they remind me of the times, in my young life, when music was played on the RADIO. They has a nostalgic power pop sound that is incredibly infectious.

[@JohnMushitu]

Phoenix's consistency is amazing

[@Effie-ho1rn]

Fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. It is also the kind of song my brother would have loved. He passed 5 years ago and I still can't get over it. I don't think I ever will.

[@the_original_jan]

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ❤

[@Mr_Mus1cK]

You're welcome haha

[@evasimorangkir]

this is phoenix's Lost In Translation

[@J--Boy]

One of the best off Alpha Zulu, stunning music video; fits the song perfectly.

[@ChannelZero1031]

Yes, a lot of energy. Very 80's.

[@kurtubular]

The marriage of music and video here is just breathtaking....wish it didn't end so soon!

[@user-qj9br8ku2q]

Scenery is Shinjuku, Akihabara, Rainbow bridge, Metropolitan Expressway and more. I love Phoenix a lot. Thank you for feature to Tokyo,Japan!!!

[@familydude51]

Im 32 years old heard them the first time in graphic design class in highschool by one of the "cool" kids hahaha been listening ever since and they still move me

[@christianmartin7692]

This song just slapped me in the face. BEAUTIFUL 🤩

[@josephdavis6451]

Bing bop goes the sound of this jingle-jangle

[@asiescanadaa]

This is by far the best song of the Alpha Zulu album! Agree? 🤘

[@rafaeldeg]

Totally agree

[@asiescanadaa]

@@rafaeldeg 🤘🏻🎸

[@maloojisloves6586]

Alpha Zulu is an incredible album! What a gift. I agree with other that this is one of the best songs. I love that I am able to listen to the album from start to finish without skipping a single song! Just like the last 3 albums! Thank you for the consistency, Phoenix! ❤M

[@aslut69]

Only found these guys recently, but I'm so glad I did

[@samisparkleheart]

Oh the excitement of having just discovered Phoenix! 😍 enjoy!

[@dendihndn]

Me too

[@bruno.matos.m]

Phoenix is my favourite band of all times!! Thanks for your music guys, today is a day of joy!! Please come back to Perú 🇵🇪 on 2023!!

[@dfodf0]

I honestly didn't identify that much with the album Ti Amo (2017), although I followed and listened to everything. Alpha Zulu reiterated that Phoenix will never stop being good, there are moments that remind me of It's Never Been Like That, after Alphabetical and United. Thank you, I am very moved by the feeling that this album causes me, beyond all, happiness.❤

[@aidenmelt9854]

Los empecé a escuchar hace un mes y me entero que esta misma banda fue la de la clausura de parís 2024,gracias algoritmo por estas recomendaciones.

[@JoseAstete168]

Desde que empecé a escuchar a Phoenix sentí una nostalgia rara, indescriptible, como si conociera a los músicos desde años y cada vez que sacan nueva música lo sigo pensando más y más. Es súper raro. Por fin los podré ver en Lima, Perú el próximo marzo de 2024 💙

[@cinthialondonebailon3453]

Ese concierto estará alucinante!!

[@marlonitos]

Sound like interpretation of Hard to Explain by Strokes. Love it.

[@pmil9645]

wtf thats my favorite strokes song. maybe that's why i like this song so much...

[@tylerclarke8247]

I don’t normally get this amped from a song but I don’t remember the last time I heard a song this good.

[@clioprivilege]

The song, the clip. Damned, I didn't felt emotions like this for years...

[@GustavoAFVideos]

Que gran tema 🔥 lo escuché en radio doble nueve 😁 saludos desde Lima Perú 🇵🇪⭐

[@cristianmaldonado2026]

Doble 9 la mejor en nuevas canciones.

[@kimyonghee3995]

It really was a great music video and perfectly matched this equally amazing song. Gonna go listen to the album on loop now!

[@Grumplefut]

Hell yeah another pheonix song to listen to over and over, I must have played alpha Zulu 500 times by now!

[@andresaguirre3227]

My god,I cannot wait 'til tomorrow....

[@RikerLovesWorf]

I lived in Tokyo for 5 years and I can say this is a pretty accurate representation of how it feels

[@josemiguelpuchero]

this video deserves 1+ million views, i cant stress that enough

[@hannahl.9614]

Those shots are stunning! It fits the song so well. Smiling the whole time

[@Fullmetal_christo]

Nobody talking about the AE86 in the video? Makes it 100 times better.

[@austindize]

Wow I love the visuals

[@yoanlima2582]

Le groupe Phoenix est vraiment un bonheur. La vidéo est sophistiqué à foison et ne parlons pas du son qui est juste pro . C'est fantastique. Le groupe semble tellement avoir de bonnes influences musicales . Ils sont forts. Bravo.

[@xuntdmc]

Funky Squaredance by Phoenix. Look it up. Such an under appreciated song. God that song was my life for over a decade it feels like. A 3 part, 3 genre sonata-esque masterpiece that was so incredibly ahead of its time Happy to hear new music from Phoenix. Always happy to hear new jams from old friends.

[@DjangoOvlidarLaFruita]

Literally everything they do is ahead of it’s time… haha 🥹🙏

[@valerieclouds]

En nombre de Phoenix México quiero decir: Gracias Phoenix por ser una banda tan increíble y felicidades por su nuevo disco "Alpha Zulu" ♡ Los amamos mucho y los esperamos de vuelta en México 🇲🇽 ¡VIVAN LOS PHOENIX NORTEÑOS! 🤠

[@renesegura9302]

y si soi del sur

[@1voyager869]

Why do you guys still love our country Japan?😭 Thank you so much

[@alwayssali]

Dear godddd this is incredible. Feels so nostalgic. I’m in love.

[@kimdenisescobar9872]

The aesthetic of the video reminds me of the traffic scene of Solaris and also Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation

[@luckysayshmm]

Because it was clearly recorded on the streets of Tokyo

[@Dave-bf8vs]

His wife is Sophia Coppola

[@kimdenisescobar9872]

@@Dave-bf8vs I know

[@betterwithrum]

Toyota AE86 and Subaru BZR, good choices!

[@joseescanes540]

I just know I'll cry my eyes out when I hear them playing this song live.

[@calm2348]

I was on an edible when I saw them for the first time in 2017 in DC and definitely got emotional during Lovelife. This would be the same! Melancholy bliss

[@Super-qp8xe]

how is he not on trending?

[@sofiaperezyaryes8923]

Gracias Phoenix por existir, su música me hace querer vivir la vida

[@kjjudon7165]

Beautiful ❤ song . This is how I feel when I was on the road as a truck driver ❤ when you look . Time passes fast

[@bfeole804]

Five months late but damn!!! Thank you, Phoenix! Love seeing this evolution.

[@oio1186]

Phœnix c’est un peu ce super vieux pote qui s’absente quelques années et quand il revient il a un peu changé mais il est toujours aussi cool.

[@saturn12x09]

i heard this song at work & i instantly fell in love

[@duncanbick6732]

Twenty years since I first became aware of Phoenix through Lost in Translation, it’s great to see them back in Japan

[@Fullmetal_christo]

That’s when I discovered them too. Great minds think alike. Love and respect from San Diego

[@Dan83C]

Ive rediscovered Phoenix and this track makes me wonder why I drifted away from them. Absolute tune. Gonna have to check out their new album.

[@recordechoes]

One of the best, period. Beautiful stuff.

[@ahmadhernandez6829]

2:28 slays me again and again

[@condimentking414]

This might sound efortlees and yet it's a banger. Phoenix still got it. Honestly, the new album is really growing on me.

[@jamesteodoro]

I wish I had someone to hug like those dudes in the car

[@steveschmid5957]

This feels like I found a hidden track on Alphabetical 18 years later

[@BboyNatertot]

A simple video but it's so perfect for this song.

[@bhughes8301]

This song is great

[@mikeyng5215]

Never thought I’d be seeing AE86s in a Phoenix MV! Coupe and Hatch loveeeeee

Groovy. Been a fan of Phoenix. Keep the Vibes Coming. ilovePhoenix.🙃😎✌️.

Phoenix music video of an AE86 in Japan... didn't expect it but I'm all for it!

[@Rastei]

In the good moments, in the bad moments, Phoenix.

[@Wethepeople0704]

Hidden gem 💎

[@Haronniin]

This is the first/only song by Phoenix I've heard (to my knowledge) thanks to @alexrainbirdMusic. I appreciate the 80's style drums (I think it creates the "nostalgic" feeling another user mentioned) combined with the modern vocal engineering. Excellent song, folks. I'll definitely look up more of your stuff.

[@milennikolov8041]

I listen to this masterpiece everyday just to feel something

[@rodrisoulalalia6278]

The song is amazing, sounds very similar to The Strokes. And the video blow my head off. It's so beautiful...

[@koheiv10]

Kohei !! His the guy that walked the most runway in entire world for men’s Super love him ❤

Se siente tanto esa esencia japonesa en este video desde el comienzo, que buen director, lo logró.
