Anybody listening in 2024? Can't believe how time flies. 15 years later, this banger is still slapping as hard as ever. Well done Friendly Fires... we love you! ❤ PS: Please reupload in HD... 1080p at least, 4K would be amazing though!
saw these guys live when I was 13 at my first ever concert in 2011. I'm 22 now and I still think they're the best band I've ever seen live. Ed danced throughout the entire set and I have never seen a singer have as much energy as him, I left the concert drenched in sweat from jumping lmao
Why does he look feminine? I mean it's almost nice what you're saying until you think about what you're actually saying. Your mind is as much stuck as those that would call his dancing feminine.
Only heard the song once on the radio but after finding it on TH-cam it's been one I've looked up dozens of times since. Love the sound, the percussion, the dancing, all of it! One of my all time favorite videos to watch!
It's like... he's not dancing to look good doing it (like most of musicians do nowadays) but just because he feels like it, which is awesome! I guess Friendly Fires music makes everyone giddy, not excluding the band in itself♥
My friend used to always sleep with her tv on because her house was creaky and kinda creepy, the noise helped cover it up. Well one night I stayed over and at like 3 am this man's face and voice woke me from my sleep and mesmerized me for 3 very long minutes. I wasn't sure if it was real or I dreamt it up and it took me forever to find this song again. Super weird and brings back all kinds of weird nostalgic memories from that time in my life. It's like this song has taken a life that has already been lived and forgotten, and kissed it back to life.
Well, this is the second video I watch from this band and gotta say that love the way this man dances. His passion just shows in his dancing and love the fact that he just enjoys himself while dancing, not caring if he looks awkward. I love that 'cause that's how we normally are and feel when dancing to the kind of music each one of us connects with. That says a lot, it shows how much he loves what he does.
Saw these guys in Birmingham a few weeks ago - wouldn’t call myself hardcore but liked enough to travel up and go - probably best gig I’ve ever been too,absolutely amazing live
I love how I've known this song for years, but I've never purchased or downloaded it. I just always think of it now and then and every time I come back to listen to it, it sounds better. ...I wanna learn his moves too, btw.
This whole song is majestic with its simplicity of dance moves and the rhythm of the music it's a pure masterpiece sung by such a beautiful,talented artist.
also, i love that people who JUST saw them in concert are straight back to watching their videos on youtube. Friendly Fires is a true addiction, i'm telling you. x
Thank you, Friendly Fires, for putting a smile on my face after a bad day at work. The wonderful song, the beautiful scenery, the vibrant dancers/drummers, the lead singer's wiggle-butt dance (too adorable!). Cheered me right up :)
It’s like through out the video he was holding back. You can finally see him getting loose and letting go. Idk if it was done on purpose but it’s amazing to see.
Holy smokes after 10 years I’ve found this damn song. Hahahahaha it’s exactly as I remember. The music is pretty good and the African drums and goofy fancy are absolutely great. Hahah
Poison Ivy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gringo "The word was originally used in Spain to denote any foreign, non-native speakers of Spanish". Gringo no implica que sea yankee.
honestly, you can see his passion and feeling in his dancing, miles and miles better than someone who was a "professional" that didnt put their all in, his dancing is excellent for the song in my opinion, i love this music. it restores my love for life.
he had to get mad sand in those shoes, lol. watching him dance gives me that electric, excited feeling in the pit of my stomach and i can't help but dance along with him!! ahhhh friendly fires are contagious

M3!!! Thanks to Facebook memories 🥲
Haha yes still here
Yes!!!!! I was freaking 13 when I first saw this on VH1 before school! I'm about to be 32 in April! Amazing song + group ❤❤❤❤❤
13 years later and I'm still mesmerized and loving all of his dance moves😍😍😍
I was so obsessed with this music video and song when it came out
Right !!!! This is still ahead of its times
Ne too..
A classic before it's day.
They're playing St Albans arena on August 24th 😊
Me toooo! He’s so freakin cute 🥰
I’ve never seen anyone enjoy their own music and much as he enjoys his. It’s a beauty to watch.
If you like this guy's music you might like Boy in space

I love his dancing in this.
This band was so underrated. Their first two albums were jam packed with bangers.
In my opinion he is truly dancing. It is so free, and uncaring about looking feminine, or weird. This whole video epitomizes what it means to be free.
Perfect comment :)
I agree with most of what you said. I'm curious...are you a gay man? I am. I guess I can't imagine a straight man making such a comment, sadly.
Why does he look feminine? I mean it's almost nice what you're saying until you think about what you're actually saying. Your mind is as much stuck as those that would call his dancing feminine.
Still rocking the Friendlies in 2024... amazing tunes

Damn nobody has been here in 7 years. I still love this song 2021 remember me 💫💕
I'm finally gonna see these guys live. This is the song that started everything for me 14 years ago, those moves those drums aaaah
M seeing them tomorrow at St Albans arena
They are senior citizens now
It's like... he's not dancing to look good doing it (like most of musicians do nowadays) but just because he feels like it, which is awesome!
I guess Friendly Fires music makes everyone giddy, not excluding the band in itself♥
This is some of the most epic drumming ever. More songs should have drums like this in them.
Carnival time boom boom
I'm strangely attracted to the lead singer. It is possibly caused by his cute, but goofy dance moves.
Very most certainly because of that.
well thats why I am so.....
Then you'll really like the lead singer of Future Islands. I find him strangely attractive because he's odd lol
Thought I was the only one 😂 he’s so adorable
OMG! I thought it was just me! And I'm not even straight! LOL
ive been searching for this song for 5 years, god damnit i finally fucking found it
Yeah, it's harder these days when the groups are not well known, or because of the Internet and not as much a promotion of the big record companies.
I mean this song shouldn't be so hard to find. the chorus is pretty straight forward
Jaja I was so hard trying to remember of this band. And it is so fucking good
I will always love these guys

It's like this song has taken a life that has already been lived and forgotten, and kissed it back to life.
I woke up in the middle of the night and the video was playing so I know the mesmerizing feeling and half woken daze you felt.
Omg I totally forgot how much I love this song, this video, this band!!!! They rock my world!!!

This song still destroys me every time I hear "a thousand butterflies, from your lips to mine" Sigh, R.I.P. our love and what we had. I miss you.
keepyourlovesafe deep
I honestly love this song
Cherley Sykes I weirdly like it
It's even better hearing them perform it in person!
Saw these guys in Birmingham a few weeks ago - wouldn’t call myself hardcore but liked enough to travel up and go - probably best gig I’ve ever been too,absolutely amazing live

...I wanna learn his moves too, btw.
Same here, known this song for years and every now and then I youtube it haha
Jon Potts me too
Buy the song (or better the album) and support this amazing band!

Desearía que mi vida fuera un concierto eterno de Friendly Fires, son pura alegría carnavalesca. Increíbles en vivo.
This song helped define my 20's
also, i love that people who JUST saw them in concert are straight back to watching their videos on youtube. Friendly Fires is a true addiction, i'm telling you. x
This song has the power to make people instantly happy! Thank you for that, Friendly Fires!!! Love from Spain
Just remembered this song didn't know I still had this tune in my head after 12 years wow hahah
I had a terrible mood and then I remembered to search for this gem again. 4.06 mins was enough to make me happy again.
Been listening to this song since it initially released, so good
i love how awkward and cute he is, and he's so passionate it's adorable.
Thank you, Friendly Fires, for putting a smile on my face after a bad day at work. The wonderful song, the beautiful scenery, the vibrant dancers/drummers, the lead singer's wiggle-butt dance (too adorable!). Cheered me right up :)
COME BACK SOON PLEASE!! The world needs more music like this :'c
Sammy Jimenez they finally brought out a new song! If you didn't know, it's called "Love Like Waves" SO good!
Another new song coming on the 15th
New álbum, out now.
At 3:27 you can see such a vastly improved state of his dancing. He connects with his flow and balance. Its is a gorgeous experience.
no
It’s like through out the video he was holding back. You can finally see him getting loose and letting go. Idk if it was done on purpose but it’s amazing to see.
@@Spiderhombre893 After all these years, it's still sensational
that's just the editing
I'm so in love with the singer of this band.. his eyes, his hair and his dancing. jesus, what i'd do to be able to dance like that ;)
My husband calls this "Pissed off wife"
+Ray Lehto Why would he think like that?
+Blinky Bill It looks like he's saying "pissed off wife" haha
u people can't be that stupid. she's saying her husband jokingly says it when he hears her listening cause he knows she pissed off.
Pick Pock Congratulations captain obvious.
+Blinky Bill
You can't really call somebody Captain Obvious for answering a question that you yourself asked
3:40
You go whiteboy!
One of my all time fave bands. Wish they hadn’t disappeared
Eleanor & Park
Me encanta su forma de bailar y que decir de su estilo al cantar.
You just can’t get enough of this stuff! It always brings a smile to my face!
i save this kind of dancing for when i get off work and its the weekend
LOVE this song. Only just remembered it though the radio rudely cut it off.
At least you found it again though
the way he dances is so attractive
Still love this song!!!
Amazing music video! They are one of the few bands who actually make creative videos...so many of them suck now a days. Love these guys!!
i love how he is just wingin' it at his body movements. going with the flow. how he feels he should. it's perfect!
Nostalgic and such a vibe. I just turned 30 and I can’t believe I’ve loved them since this. 😭 Ed can still have my all!
your dancing is amazing =) people should show more passion like him :)
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Holy smokes after 10 years I’ve found this damn song. Hahahahaha it’s exactly as I remember. The music is pretty good and the African drums and goofy fancy are absolutely great. Hahah
