Franz Ferdinand - The Dark Of The Matinée (Video)

[@davidjacobs1393]

I love how each of Franz Ferdinand's songs change rhythm so quickly, and abruptly.

[@banshek472]

youd enjoy System of a down then, try Radio/Video

[@VladCrusader-c4l]

Breakcore alt rock

[@mipiaccionoifemboy]

So true

[@thenoelgamer]

@@banshek472 i love radio/video, it just sounds like a SOAD song but at the same time it doesn't. it's crazy and i love it

[@numerugontokku]

​

[@everwhatever]

It's still my favorite song of theirs. I strongly identified with the pessimist when the album was first released but now I see wisdom in "you smile, mention something that you like"

[@pacatrue]

The cool thing about their songs as they start off good and almost always get better as they go.

[@JoseSanchez-ht1kc]

12 años!!!

[@seankrake4776]

Something I think is so defining as a part of their songs is how they split one sentence into two separate lines, and then joint the first part of the next thought into the end of the previous one. it makes it a little difficult to follow, and harder to sing because you don't get a breath to think about what line is next. it makes your brain stay attached to the song waiting to hear the line finished, but before you can think of anything else they've inserted another thought into your head.

[@forceawakens4449]

The ...refractories and, files you must follow me line of the chorus is the strongest example of this, it creates such a unique cadence for rock music. Sounds like musical theater

[@ineffablemars]

This song has my favorite line in any song ever: "i charm you, and tell you all the boys i hate, all the girls i hate, all the words i hate, all the clothes i hate.. all i'll never be, anything i hate, you smile, mention something that you like" love it.

[@RSoin92]

Taylor TM half* the boys?

[@flashderos]

I really love that line. And the one right after. The "you smile, mention something that you like or how'd you have a happy life...". I have a very close lady friend that matches that lyric to a tee!

[@deezeeowleyes]

It's absolutely my favourite line too! It's simple yet charming in my opinion

[@hugogovea178]

I time every journey to bump into you accidentally 💕

[@dars5229]

I remember hearing that the first time and thinking "...Oh shit, I do that."

[@Rae-337]

Why is it that not a lot of people talk about this band anymore like there music is actually good ❤

[@IamVirt]

Because they're not popular enough

[@muscle_museum1]

Has to be the best debut album ever.

[@dieghost92]

Letra: Take your white finger Slide the nail under the top and bottom Buttons of my blazer Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties And I'm not to look at you in the shoe But the eyes find the eyes Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files You must follow, leave this academic factory You'll find me in the matinée, the dark of the matinée It's better in the matinée, the dark of the matinée is mine Yes, it's mine I time every journey to bump into you accidentally I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate, all the girls I hate All the words I hate, all the clothes I hate How I'll never be anything I hate You smile, mention something that you like Oh, how you'd have a happy life If you did the things you like Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files You must follow, leave this academic factory You'll find me in the matinée, the dark of the matinée It's better in the matinée, the dark of the matinée is mine Yes, it's mine So I'm on BBC two now Telling Terry Wogan how I made it and What I made is unclear now But his deference is and his laughter is My words and smile are so easy now Yes, it's easy now Yes, it's easy now Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files You must follow, leave this academic factory You'll find me in the matinée, dark of the matinée It's better in the matinée, the dark of the matinée You will find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files You must follow, leave this academic factory You'll find me in the matinée, the dark of the matinée Better in the matinée, the dark of the matinée is mine Yes, it's mine
