***** Well actually, in an interview she said: "I don’t have a sexuality. I don’t feel like I’m female or male. I don’t belong to the gay or straight society, if there is such a thing. I feel like I’m capable of falling in love with other people. I’m not saying I’m bisexual, I’m just sexual!" I interpreted that as she's pansexual, but take it as you will. It's none of our business, really. :)
@@WEwalked Maybe where you live, for a moment, buddy. One day I should make a video talking about how I managed to get into their sold-out show in Toronto. So yeah, I know they were kind of, sorta "popular." But not anywhere near what they ought to be, given how talented they are.
Now 30 I have finally become strong enough to process all the trauma and emotion I went through when i was 18-21. This album, I had not listened to since because it allowed me to survive through those times. Now I have faced it all and listend to this album 10 years later and understand all that my younger self couldnt speak on, only endure. As with all your albums, thank you Elly for helping me through those times and finding the perfect words where its always hard to in the moment. Your music speaks volumes to me and I love that you shared your own emotions and creativity through your music. Happy to see you grow more and more into your own as an artist and person.
They are afraid to like it. Rather they are afraid to be seen liking it. It's so beautiful and full of light and love and passion. These things are mocked these days. It's a dark time.
I feel if this was released in the mid-80's/early-90's, it would be an absolute smash hit and be the end credits of EVERY film... but sadly, we live in a generation where this is going to get barely any playtime. I LOOOOVE it though.
I think people will notice this though. I was at a sports camp a couple weeks ago and they played this song and "Uptight Downtown" nonstop! And where i live, La Roux isn't that recognized at all.
La Roux or Elly Jackson (woman in the video) played every instrument in both her albums during recording sessions...She is a true artist. Keep singing Elly XOXO
lol god people lie about the most random shit so boldly on youtube! This is absolutely not true though!? She didnt play a single instrument on either album and the vast majority of the entire production/sound on both albums are Ben Langmaids production done electronically and not with instruments you numpty. Stop making shit up.
La roux one of those bands that just speak to you, it's crazy how music is so important on our journey through this ever so dense world, thnk you for being part of that lighter path
For those like me who have been driven insane trying to figure this out: "How do you feel In the night Now the feeling's Left behind As you know there Was a time When your silence Left me blind Now you're callin' From the aisle I can see It's denial A denial Left to slide Now there's nothing Left to hide"
I feel like she's one of the few artists in recent times who actually delivers the music with that raw touch. Who just kinda expresses who she is. It's a bonus she's gorgeous and her music is like diamonds in the rough. Raw emotion. Bare -stripped. Xx
One of the greatest albums of all time, to me, certainly of the last 20 years. I oved this album and every track on it when it came out, listened to them religiously, and I still do today.
the song is an underrated masterpiece, completely overlooked and didn't get enough radio play, that's a fact. but Elly in this video? incredibly sexy. she's just wearing a black outfit and barely any make-up and is the most attractive woman I'd seen. it's her moves and just the way she carries herself is so fine. I thought this 6 years ago when I first saw this video and now 6 years after I see that my feelings stayed the same, yup.
I just...la roux was my childhood artists and I think she is one of those artists that I'll listen to for life. She is my background music for my life. I love her so much.
Superb track, and possibly the best record she has ever released... It's such a gorgeous yet devastating record. Her music in general is fantastic, but this is just special. Thanks Elly for this slice of Pop brilliance.
Agree!👍 "Kiss💋 and not🚫 tell"🎶 is sticking📌 in my head like a gum on the sole of 👟shoe, on a plenty summer🌞 day... You know... Those kind of gums that almost sizzling ♨on the ground.
Feels like this song is healing me from how one sided my relationship with my mom is. I tried everything to be close with her, only to be pushed to the side. “Let me down gentlyyyyy”
I can see this song playing for the main male character while he is driving to his girl's house to try and get her back; or a drug scene; the main character is experiencing heart attack like feels after doin a bunch of blow after getting broken up by his girl. That's how I see it if I were to put this in a movie.
This song and video i a pure masterpiece, I am now having very hard time in my life, La Roux's music is what makes me feel alive, thank you Elly for being such a great artist!
Five years ago I thought La Roux was ridiculous. I heard this, and I was blown away. She's combined style with substance and it has worked so well. It's got that warm, rich neo-eighties feel; it's sending chills down my spine. Five years ago I was twelve. I'm listening to this now, and my god - I love La Roux
Her look is more simple here, but her face is by no means bare. There is at the very least foundation, concealer, brow enhancer, and lip color going on. That said, she looks gorgeous either way.
K McGowen That's how it always is, right? People demand that girls don't wear makeup, that they look better without it, but they don't realise that when they see 'no makeup' they're actually just lacking the heavy eye paint and lipstick. And then when girls actually go w/o makeup they're told they look tired or sick.
Alyssa Ainscow Preach, sister. I get it on a regular basis (either the "You look so much better without makeup!" when I'm just wearing a natural look, or the "Are you okay? You look sick.." when my face is legitimately bare) and always try to explain the difference, because if people aren't really used to wearing makeup themselves then they usually have a harder time recognizing when it's being used on someone else.
you don't even mention her music. that's the standard for female La Roux "fans". you disgust me. if I see your name on a death proof, I promise to pee on your grave. Elly is a genius but you idiots are too stupid to understand that.
La Roux is better when she is fueled by raw emotion. The beats are like icing on the cake, but without this raw sweetness, the icing just isn't as good. 😊 This is the best of La Roux ♡♡♡♡
Just checked and it entered the charts at no. 6 but fell to no. 43 the following week then to no.77 it re-enterd at no.100 shame as this song is wonderful
+Gamaray Julian Ik. I'm kinda crying a bit right now because I though: "this is what true beauty is: androgyny. She could be male or female or even intersexed, and she would still be just as beautiful." I just kind of got a bit pretentious.
+Gamaray Julian. let me tell you why she is beautiful: one of the best songwriters in the last decade, the confidence and energy of twenty men, a certain profound sadness that just drips off of her, David Bowie level hair, flawless skin, a face that might be the painting of an ancient goddess... the list just goes on honestly.
Only 3 million views??? I mean if there is a perfect pop song somewhere in the universe this one here is incredibly close to it but still have only 3 million views?
SUCH A GREAT SONG!
24
+laroux 26 year old female that forgot to check for HBV in the throat. All that deep throating lol.
no seriously mate think about it... an 8 incher going down Elly's throat....
dude thank you for saying so. how the hell did i not know her before this? damnnn.

It's none of our business, really. :)
"You're not my life but I want you in it" has to be one of the most beautifully painful sentences ever written.
She is so beautiful. She's like the love child of David Bowie and Tilda Swinton.
SloanePaoPow soooo on point
SloanePaoPow Blimey, you nailed it there
Omg YES!
SloanePaoPow Oh my God I agree with you so much gosh!
(huge Bowie fan ^_^)
So true!
This is true art. Perfect song... cadence, lyrics, voice, interpretation
Love from Brazil!
La Roux is too good to ever be popular.
This band is our secret, friends.
Exactly my thoughts
This is called gate keeping and it’s a shit mindset. Artists should get the recognition they deserve, especially if they’re as good as La Roux
You do know Bulletproof and their first album was INSANELY popular, right?
@@WEwalked people only know the song, they don't care about who made it
@@WEwalked Maybe where you live, for a moment, buddy.
One day I should make a video talking about how I managed to get into their sold-out show in Toronto.
So yeah, I know they were kind of, sorta "popular."
But not anywhere near what they ought to be, given how talented they are.

I'm amazed this wasn't a bigger hit?
nukkingfuks that’s this generation for you, they’d rather listen to trap queen around that time 😂
@@LetsStopThisSong now its 69
Pal dont w8 on the radio to tell u what a hit is
They are afraid to like it. Rather they are afraid to be seen liking it. It's so beautiful and full of light and love and passion. These things are mocked these days. It's a dark time.
The world wasn't ready.
I'm 51...i first heard her about 14-15yrs ago with Bulletproof... The best thing i love about her is the 80s influence on her music ❤
it's been that long? wow i was really young im 25 now time goes fast. I really appreciate music from the past !
I feel if this was released in the mid-80's/early-90's, it would be an absolute smash hit and be the end credits of EVERY film... but sadly, we live in a generation where this is going to get barely any playtime. I LOOOOVE it though.
I think people will notice this though. I was at a sports camp a couple weeks ago and they played this song and "Uptight Downtown" nonstop! And where i live, La Roux isn't that recognized at all.
Agreed, although Bulletproof still gets radio time which is rare for a pop song from 2009.
She's before her time. 80s electro stuff is popular now.
I'm still on this
La Roux or Elly Jackson (woman in the video) played every instrument in both her albums during recording sessions...She is a true artist. Keep singing Elly XOXO
I looking forward for more from her
lol god people lie about the most random shit so boldly on youtube! This is absolutely not true though!? She didnt play a single instrument on either album and the vast majority of the entire production/sound on both albums are Ben Langmaids production done electronically and not with instruments you numpty. Stop making shit up.
La Roux needs to come back man!!!
We've been patiently waiting since 09, but our Queen has finally returned to us. Lana, Allen, and Gaga can all go home now.
Lana can buy YOUR home so take a seat. Instead of putting artist above each other you can just support them all...
:$ I think you're taking it a little too seriously mate.. I do support them all, La Roux is just my favourite lol
0TheVegan0ThatCould0 My fav is Abba
You sound like an idiot
davidheseltine85 CAPS LOCKS LIKE A BOSS
La roux one of those bands that just speak to you, it's crazy how music is so important on our journey through this ever so dense world, thnk you for being part of that lighter path
If there was ever a song that was criminally underated it is this one
This could have been released in the 80s and nobody woulda said shit. It's perfect.
Oh it's so good to have you back! Seriously.
I am! YO YO YO! X
stalkies :D
AHHHHHHH
theneedledrop+Beckie0+La Roux? All in the same video? You guys made my day.
***** HOLY BLEEP IT'S BECKIE! :D This is awesome!
It marked my teenage years. Still love it till today
This should have been a bigger hit.
For those like me who have been driven insane trying to figure this out:
"How do you feel
In the night
Now the feeling's
Left behind
As you know there
Was a time
When your silence
Left me blind
Now you're callin'
From the aisle
I can see
It's denial
A denial
Left to slide
Now there's nothing
Left to hide"
HAHAHA WOW! thank you so much, I've been looking for that part of the lyric since the song came out haha
OMG thank you! :D
What part is this from.
the end
is easy just let it go.
I feel like she's one of the few artists in recent times who actually delivers the music with that raw touch. Who just kinda expresses who she is. It's a bonus she's gorgeous and her music is like diamonds in the rough. Raw emotion. Bare -stripped. Xx
Possibly my favorite La Roux song. Like it more and more.
How did I mis this one and a few others? I'm glad I looked up La Roux today.
masterpiece!
YES I'VE BEEN YEARNING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG NOW. SINCE I WAS LIKE 10 YEARS OLD. YES!!!!!!!
perfection absolute perfection
One of the greatest albums of all time, to me, certainly of the last 20 years. I oved this album and every track on it when it came out, listened to them religiously, and I still do today.
fuck. I am 6 years late to this. THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
You’re right on time. I’ve been listening to this track for years and it’s still in my regular rotation
I still can't believe just watched a new video from La roux. Instant like!
Elly it's been 5 years, it's time for another album! :D ♥
its been my biggest dream since then
WHERE IS SHE ???????
@@antoinel5179 Probably living her best life. Like she should be. :)
She just confirmed that she’s back in the studio again not long ago!
She's coming
This is perfection, I never get tired of this track
Can not stop replaying this song!
try Moi have you stopped since?...
La roux holds a pinpoint in my teenage years .When I listen to her music , it makes me feel nostalgic and euphoric . Thank you Elly X
the song is an underrated masterpiece, completely overlooked and didn't get enough radio play, that's a fact. but Elly in this video? incredibly sexy. she's just wearing a black outfit and barely any make-up and is the most attractive woman I'd seen. it's her moves and just the way she carries herself is so fine. I thought this 6 years ago when I first saw this video and now 6 years after I see that my feelings stayed the same, yup.
Yes! 👏🏼🙌😍
Same thoughts
Such an underrated tune by far, and that Sax solo!
I love the darkness of the video and she looks great with a more tame hair style. She is just so dam cool.
I don't know why this doesn't have 800 million views. It's just as good as Diamonds.
because no one knows about it, they took too long to make a second album and people forgot
to be fair, there were a lot of complications in developing this album, but alas, poor la roux. at least they have their fans.
Because people are letting her down gently.
+Franck Carteron lol nice answer :)
psychofred2 :/ that's not good to begin... with
I just...la roux was my childhood artists and I think she is one of those artists that I'll listen to for life. She is my background music for my life. I love her so much.
Gorgeous and she gets it
Living proof that modern music does not have to be rubbish, this is a great tune
The current queen of electro pop
I have no idea why shit like Cardi B and Billy Eilish is popular and this masterpiece is not. Sick sad world.
Commerce. These artists are for all time.
Personally my favourite song ever made!love it!
She's really beautiful in this!
she's really beautiful fullstop! :)
YES! La Roux is backkkkkkkk
Wooo soo good :)
I'm so glad she is back :) Such an amazing artist!
Yeahhhh!!
yayyyy :D she's been truly missed
gn1225 idk try out instaphamous i hear great things about it
This is the best song of the century. Period.
DJDanceClassic I don't know... the century is still pretty young
yea he's an idiot.
Gosh how can you guys take a yt comment so seriously? I guess the person was just trying to state how fond she is of this song
I can sense an 80's vibe in this and I absolutely LOVE it!!!
Exactly
This song makes me feel so much better.
Superb track, and possibly the best record she has ever released... It's such a gorgeous yet devastating record. Her music in general is fantastic, but this is just special. Thanks Elly for this slice of Pop brilliance.
She's so stunning, I can't even believe it.
Me either 😆😘
+Roren Chan Agree, just need to pull back that hair and reveal those eyes...
No lie I have been waiting YEARS for this. Love the hair, sophisticated
sience 2009? :C me to
Me too. But I it's not a burner, in my opinion ;) :)
Please come back, elly jackson...i miss you SOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHH
vince gredo hey Vince why don't you style your hair like her bro?
vince gredo Android love!!!!
You are bringing the 70's/80's style good music back, thank god you're back! We love you!
My thoughts exactly :D
everyone's doin it
Agree!👍 "Kiss💋 and not🚫 tell"🎶 is sticking📌 in my head like a gum on the sole of 👟shoe, on a plenty summer🌞 day... You know... Those kind of gums that almost sizzling ♨on the ground.
The queens of electro pop
Feels like this song is healing me from how one sided my relationship with my mom is. I tried everything to be close with her, only to be pushed to the side. “Let me down gentlyyyyy”
Shocking that this wasnt a #1 Billboard hit in the States. Really hard to believe. A really great song.
Beautiful beautiful song and voice from heaven xx
A masterpiece.
I still get the goosebumps every time I listen to this song
i am falling in love with this song over and over and over again
th-cam.com/video/u4UFW4WSXus/w-d-xo.html..
I love the 80 pop feel
This sounds like it should be part of a soundtrack. Very pained and suspenceful
+Diamonddusted68 like an 80's soundtrack. Reminds me of some madonna, never ending story, sinead o conner, and cry little sister from the lost boys.
+Clifford Browning I don't know why it reminded me of that last one
I can see this song playing for the main male character while he is driving to his girl's house to try and get her back; or a drug scene; the main character is experiencing heart attack like feels after doin a bunch of blow after getting broken up by his girl. That's how I see it if I were to put this in a movie.
yes... BOURNE
Diamonddusted68 before I fall trailer
one of the best tracks of 2014 !
*THE best
I can’t describe how this song makes me feel it’s such an overwhelming song
I love this song❤❤ La Roux❤❤
one of the best songs EVER!
Sweet dreams are made of this...
Finally.... a new song! Yes! And Its great too!
her dancing cherses me up every time
This song and video is so good! And their hair is so freaking cool in this video.
THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG BRILLIANT!
she dropped this song too early, it would blow up now...
Masterpiece
How is this possible ? The older she gets the more beautiful she is. 😍😍😍
One of the best songs ever recorded!
This song and video i a pure masterpiece, I am now having very hard time in my life, La Roux's music is what makes me feel alive, thank you Elly for being such a great artist!
Beautiful amazing artist, amazing song again, damn she's a proper diamond
Love this forever!
Such a great track

Five years ago I was twelve. I'm listening to this now, and my god - I love La Roux
I feel like there's a vulnerability to this song that really speaks to inspiration from personal experience.
Queen La Roux is back. Thank God. She has such a simple elegance about her and personally, she looks better with a bare face.
Her look is more simple here, but her face is by no means bare. There is at the very least foundation, concealer, brow enhancer, and lip color going on. That said, she looks gorgeous either way.

I spent 2 days looking for this song
I don't regret it
I love Elly’s smile but I love when she dances around! Absolutely one of the most beautiful women in music. She’s so real too! 🥰💕
La Roux is better when she is fueled by raw emotion. The beats are like icing on the cake, but without this raw sweetness, the icing just isn't as good. 😊 This is the best of La Roux ♡♡♡♡
I have this on loop, amazing song. God.
Rediscovered La Roux and their great songs again like this one, only to find their next album is due out in just two days from now! Had no idea!
Haven't even listened to her in years, randomly end up on this channel and boom a new songs came out a few mins ago. Lucky timing :)
Best artist. Love from France!
Elly is a great artist. Elegante, sensuality, mysterious. Truly beautiful 💖 You can give me news of her
How did i miss this album...
Yes it was. The album is called Trouble in Paradise.
t
It's never been in hmv and they have no knowledge of it, very strange
Just checked and it entered the charts at no. 6 but fell to no. 43 the following week then to no.77 it re-enterd at no.100 shame as this song is wonderful
How does this video only have 2 million views?
Why wasn't this huge? It is a great song.
Thumbs up to the BBC for using this in "Our Girl". I never would have discovered this great track otherwise
man la roux always has the best sad songs
let me tell you why she is beautiful : many years on celeb world, still being herself. no matter what people say :)
+Gamaray Julian Ik. I'm kinda crying a bit right now because I though: "this is what true beauty is: androgyny. She could be male or female or even intersexed, and she would still be just as beautiful." I just kind of got a bit pretentious.
+Brynne-Elisabet Carlisle thanks for your opinion
+Gamaray Julian. let me tell you why she is beautiful: one of the best songwriters in the last decade, the confidence and energy of twenty men, a certain profound sadness that just drips off of her, David Bowie level hair, flawless skin, a face that might be the painting of an ancient goddess... the list just goes on honestly.
Gamaray Julian she's not a celeb. I wouldn't know her from a hole in the wall
Albus Kane such a gay thing to say. Please don't say those things in real life
Love it!
7 years later still feel the same :)
Only 3 million views???
I mean if there is a perfect pop song somewhere in the universe this one here is incredibly close to it but still have only 3 million views?
Forever La Roux 2021 ❤️, love you, Brazil
SHE IS PERFECT I LOVE HER!!!!!!!
4:55 lives rent free in my mind
Elly where have you been all these years? We miss you dearly. Please don’t give up on your talent(s)!
