This is my favorite song on the planet without a doubt. Some times ill forget about it but when ever I remember it, ill listen to it multiple times in a row.
YAS!!! I've been saying this for YEARS! Even before your 2-year-old comment...lol I'm just baked so replying to all sorts no matter how long ago it was! lol!
Holy shit!!!! This is the best song I’ve heard in a long time. How did I miss this incredible band and the singer is a rare talent. Unreal how great this is!!!
This album was seriously overlooked. I'm buddies with some guys who are professional touring musicians for VERY large acts. They all LOVE foxy Shazam. Wrong time/wrong place I guess. It's a shame. They're fucking amazing.
I live in Cincinnati and worked with the lead singers mom.. It was amazing to talk with her about him and how proud she was of him for doing what he loved. I hope he sees this, and keeps on keeping on.
Definitely wrong time. I’m a millennial, and it seems my generation and younger don’t seem to like rock very much at all. Also, like Bono said, rock bands of today aren’t angry enough to make the type of rock music that has staying power and speaks to people the way rock of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s did. Anger, frustration, and hard lived lives really do produce the best rock music. I feel like Foxy Shazam is an unfortunate case of a talented rock band who were too afraid to explore darker sounds and concepts, for fear of alienating all the annoying millennial fans who just wanted to hear the guy sing a song with Macklemore 😂 what a joke! How could they be taken seriously as a rock band after that?
I discovered the band when I saw one of the members of Panic! At the disco wearing the Foxy Shazam White music for black people shirt. That was like 2010-2011. I also ended up buying that shirt still have it somewhere
I was the kid in the video. They were really nice people to meet. I still look back at this video and appreciate that was able to be part of an amazing production
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m here bc I was seeking this guys voice out after years of loving “downtown” Idk why it took me this long but I made it guys ❤
Julian, it's a hungry world They're gonna eat you alive son, yeah Oh, Julian, when their fangs sink in I'll stitch you but then I gotta throw you back in, ohhh You just try and sleep, even though you're alone You just close your eyes boy, and dream of home And light is always on, you just keep that in mind When you wake in the morning, you'll be satisfied 'Cause there is always a wrong to your right And there will always be a war somewhere to fight And God knows I've had some rough fucking years Oh, oh, Lord, oh, Lord, keep on keeping on Julian, I thought I told you this But I guess I was wrong, yeah, yeah Oh Julian, it probably scares you now In the future it counts, you got to trust me, trust me, yeah So lock this song away for a darker day When you're down on your knees, screaming "Oh Lord" I am always there, you just keep that in mind When you wake in the morning, you'll be satisfied 'Cause there is always a wrong to your right And there will always be a war somewhere to fight And God knows I've had some rough fucking years Oh, oh, lord, oh, lord, keep on keepin' on
I'm a single dad to a fantastic daughter. Ima show her this song when she's in high school. Because it's absolutely true. I will always be there for her so long as I can be, but I can never always be there. Life is really tough for everyone. Keep on keeping on. If you're going through Hell keep going. In times of crisis the best option is to make the right choice, the second best option is to make a wrong choice. The worst option is to make no choice. You have to move forward, if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. The way out---is through.
It really sets the mood for how I’m going to act. I can be in a downright bitter funk and I pop this on and it’s like a bump of booger sugar.. minus the anxiety 😅
I absolutely love this comment. However, I think the best is when Julian is playing that one note before the chorus and everyone is pointing. Again, though, a piano moment.
My brother first showed me this song about 8 or 9 years ago. What a wonderful message. Also, I didn't realize that this did not have at least a million views. It should.
@@tonyattardo9350Bowie wasn't a "refined" voice, but that added a beautiful soul to his singing that definitely made him one of the best. If you'd like a better comparison however, earlier Elton John haha.
Reginald Harris sorry boss but they broke up a few years ago, would recommend you check out his chorus on Macklemore’s “Downtown” if you haven’t already :)
One of my dearest friends turned me on to FS. And, I'm so grateful for that. I haven't been moved with emotion and feelings with our love for music from such a fantastic band in such a long time. Foxy Shazam is an absolutely amazing band. My dream is to be able to afford to hire them to play for my friend's birthday someday. He means that much to me. And this music is by far absolutely amazing. Whenever I'm down, I can put Foxy Shazam on, and I can snap right back into a better place. This band rocks. ❤️
They're not together anymore. But I agree, they need to regroup and reform. I was lucky to see them in 2011 supporting The Darkness and they were fantastic!
this song is such a fucking anthem it kills me. you can forget about it, come back years later and it n ot only slaps but feels more relevant than ever
*"Julian, it's papa. I know it's really hard sometimes for you, and it can be really scary, but if you ever need anything, if you ever need me, just close your eyes and I'll come and getcha"*
i have literally loved eric nally for so long and none of my friends give him a chance or foxy shazam and it's just like "HOLY SHIT THIS IS TRUE MUSIC LISTEN TO IT NOW"
I did not know them until I heard Justin Hawkins (The Darkness’s) commenting about his friend Eric Nally. Superb. Surely this is the best song I’ve heard in years. Great influence from early Queen, Sparks and lots more. Incredible band. Will listen to the whole discography.
Who are backup singers/ dancers? They feature in a few vids, and was wondering are they regular collaborators, WAGS, or something? Amazing stuff. Glad to hear they're back.
I was NOT expecting to be addressed to directly! But you’re right- I’ll just keep on keeping on!
There is always a wrong to your right
Whoever choreographed this video is a genius.
This is my favorite song on the planet without a doubt. Some times ill forget about it but when ever I remember it, ill listen to it multiple times in a row.
I've watched this at least a hundred times... there's nothing like foxy...god bless them
I unironically consider this one of the best pop anthems of all time
Nothing like them? Ever hear of a band called Queen?
The church of rock and roll. May you live forever
This fills the Freddie Mercury-shaped hole in my heart
YAS!!! I've been saying this for YEARS! Even before your 2-year-old comment...lol I'm just baked so replying to all sorts no matter how long ago it was! lol!
THEY'RE COMIN BACK BABY LETS GOOOOO!
Michael Dorst FOR REALLLL I MISSED THEM
Hell yeah!
YEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAAAAW'
@@jackjackson5584 Yes! If you follow them on Facebook, they announced it there, though not directly... It was subtle but obvious.
Akiko Fujishima since they can’t reunite on stage...Yet...new music would be cool
Holy shit!!!! This is the best song I’ve heard in a long time. How did I miss this incredible band and the singer is a rare talent. Unreal how great this is!!!
That entire album is one of the best I have ever heard. Still gets many play throughs after all these years.
Iv been with him sence the beginning great song
They are back. They released a single last week.
I admit that i was looking for the trailer for the movie Shazam. I'm glad that I decided to click on this video.
LOL : )
Hell yea
that movie was so cute! nice little flick for the family
Which of the two video were better produced, do you think?
Is this wayyy better or what?
What an absolutely crushing chorus. Fantastic.
frozencons I'm with you man, so lush and anthemic.
This album was seriously overlooked.
I'm buddies with some guys who are professional touring musicians for VERY large acts.
They all LOVE foxy Shazam.
Wrong time/wrong place I guess.
It's a shame. They're fucking amazing.
perfect album for those who've heard it
Yep. Unfortunate is an understatement, too. Crazy too they played better live than most bands in the industry.
Wait what happened
Last thing I heard they did a reunion
Someone update me please
I live in Cincinnati and worked with the lead singers mom.. It was amazing to talk with her about him and how proud she was of him for doing what he loved. I hope he sees this, and keeps on keeping on.

I remember this song every few years and
Like god. It really does always get me back up
They just announced their reunion!
That's literally why I'm here right now!
respect
That's why I'm here right now. I was watching Ninja Sex Party, and this band popped into my head. Now I'm binging their music all I er again.
Oh Lord!
So much Freddie/Queen energy. Love it!
Rumor is this gonna be the theme song for season 2 of Peacemaker
Damn, some people can just flat out sing.
I've been a fan of Foxy Shazam for since 2010 and it makes me so happy to finally have them back
I discovered the band when I saw one of the members of Panic! At the disco wearing the Foxy Shazam White music for black people shirt. That was like 2010-2011. I also ended up buying that shirt still have it somewhere
I was the kid in the video. They were really nice people to meet. I still look back at this video and appreciate that was able to be part of an amazing production
I've been obsessed with Foxy for about a year now and this is the first time I've seen the official video for this. Needless to say it's fabulous.
This is it, the peak of music
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m here bc I was seeking this guys voice out after years of loving “downtown”
Idk why it took me this long but I made it guys ❤
Awesomeness!! Glad ya finally made it here bud!!!😁
Me too :')
Downtown is a great song. Glad you came to check out more of Foxy
Same!
Welcome!!!🎉
On a long enough timeline... you forget how amazing this world is. Thanks Foxy for reminding me of things lost but not gone.
Whoever doesn't have foxy Shazam in their life is so missing out. Never gets old ❤
This man is still living the 90's and I'm vibing for it.
Fuck 90s , Foxy Shazam is the biggest band of 2020. Waiting for their comeback!
@@koowasha they came back!
Kid Trinity, thanks 🙏
bruh this shit is straight outta the 70s, 90s would be like grunge and flannel shirts
Yeah, idk where you're getting 90s from. This is definitely 70s/early 80s vibes.
Everytime he screams, 'and God knows I've had some rough fucking years' it hits me right in the fucking feels
Julian, it's a hungry world
They're gonna eat you alive son, yeah
Oh, Julian, when their fangs sink in
I'll stitch you but then I gotta throw you back in, ohhh
You just try and sleep, even though you're alone
You just close your eyes boy, and dream of home
And light is always on, you just keep that in mind
When you wake in the morning, you'll be satisfied
'Cause there is always a wrong to your right
And there will always be a war somewhere to fight
And God knows I've had some rough fucking years
Oh, oh, Lord, oh, Lord, keep on keeping on
Julian, I thought I told you this
But I guess I was wrong, yeah, yeah
Oh Julian, it probably scares you now
In the future it counts, you got to trust me, trust me, yeah
So lock this song away for a darker day
When you're down on your knees, screaming "Oh Lord"
I am always there, you just keep that in mind
When you wake in the morning, you'll be satisfied
'Cause there is always a wrong to your right
And there will always be a war somewhere to fight
And God knows I've had some rough fucking years
Oh, oh, lord, oh, lord, keep on keepin' on

This is mine and my mom’s song. Love you mom! Thank you for getting me into this awesome band.
You're welcome. :)
@Jason Voorhees Yes I am.
I watch this about once a day. This song absolutely kills.
It really sets the mood for how I’m going to act. I can be in a downright bitter funk and I pop this on and it’s like a bump of booger sugar.. minus the anxiety 😅
It's soo good. It's like, I can't even describe how good it is.
Can't believe a short film from 2011 on TH-cam introduced me to this song nearly ten years ago... ten years later it's still amazing to listen to
What is the name of this film??? I want to watch
@@loukanosdegaliza4134 The End by Dominic Fera!
The greatest moment in recorded rock history is @ 3:33 when Sky’s piano is floating away and he has to hold it down. Ill say that til the day i die
I absolutely love this comment. However, I think the best is when Julian is playing that one note before the chorus and everyone is pointing. Again, though, a piano moment.
@@chartwel hey man thanks. Thats definitely a close second as far as im concerned
Foxy and Justin. Genius pairing.
My brother first showed me this song about 8 or 9 years ago. What a wonderful message. Also, I didn't realize that this did not have at least a million views. It should.
amazing voice!! the way he hit those high notes w/o breaking.. you don't hear that every day
Arah M. Pretty rare when they did it live
This guy and Greta Van Fleet have some of the craziest vocals I've ever heard.
23 has ALWAYS been my favorite number... And never have I loved it more until seeing this video.😍
there is something so pure and simple about this music. it reminds me of better times.
This guys vocals slay me. Beautiful voice.
When his tiny heiny jumps on dude's shoulders from behind! This bro is super human.
I love every detail of this band! So honest and fun!
The best vocals ever!!!! Eric has a magnificent voice I place him in the league of Freddie Mercury and Bowie - amaizing!!!!!
Mmm Bowie was a 2nd rate singer at best. I agree with the Mercury comparison, but that's obvious.
I'd put Justin Hawkins on that list as well, but that's just me
@@tonyattardo9350 Bowie? Second rate? You’ve got to be kidding me
@@tonyattardo9350Bowie wasn't a "refined" voice, but that added a beautiful soul to his singing that definitely made him one of the best.
If you'd like a better comparison however, earlier Elton John haha.
If Freddie Mercury was still with us he would be proud. I look forward to hearing more stuff from these guys.
Reginald Harris sorry boss but they broke up a few years ago, would recommend you check out his chorus on Macklemore’s “Downtown” if you haven’t already :)
I heard this in a Dom Fera short film and have been in love with it ever since.
Damn true this song. Word for word. Good man. Love his music. Let's keep him going in this cut throat world. 👍
One of my dearest friends turned me on to FS. And, I'm so grateful for that. I haven't been moved with emotion and feelings with our love for music from such a fantastic band in such a long time.

that intro is the sweetest thing i have ever heard
Thank you for putting this up 😭😭😭😭 I was so sad when the original upload was taken off TH-cam
Why was the original taken down?
William Cole who knows, maybe copyright
PoorJean Genie well the guys shirt it's blurred out when originally it wasn't so it must of been what ever the print was ?
They did not remove it in dailymotion. So glad its back here in youtube as well.
PoorJean Genie is that what happened? I was curious where all the original views had gone
Love love love this song
As a dad, this may be my favorite song.
Cool song. When he hits high notes in the chorus,it’s amazing!
God this song fucking rocks man, it's been the first song in my playlist since November 4th 2016. Eric Nally, keep on keeping on, man.
Been jamming to this song since 2010, still not sick of it!
Why aren't these guys touring? The world needs them... badly.
They're not together anymore. But I agree, they need to regroup and reform. I was lucky to see them in 2011 supporting The Darkness and they were fantastic!
How much fun this must’ve been to film.
i remember seeing Foxy Shazam open up for P!ATD back in 2012 or 13 it was such an experience.
this song is such a fucking anthem it kills me. you can forget about it, come back years later and it n ot only slaps but feels more relevant than ever
Here before this blows up because of Peacemaker Season 2
One amazing band!
This song has always made me feel better about the mistakes I've made. I'm gonna keep keepin on ❤❤
2010's glam rock delivered with a sense of humour and a big belly laugh. Love this! Came here from a thread on Reddit. :)
"There will always be a war somewhere to fight"
"There will always be a wrong to your right"
Evergreen lyrics
this is the most beautiful song.
Yalll are still a bop
It's just feels like we have been here and done this before.
Love that the guy on piano is just going full on Elton John this whole video.
They released a new album and it is so good. I am so happy 🎉
Been a fan since golden field. Keep on keeping on!
why the hell did Adam Lambert replace Freddy in the "new Queen" this guy can out sing Lambert on Queen songs in his sleep!!!
Marc Martel is way better than this guy and Lambert and closer to Freddie than anyone else.
i think it's because they weren't looking for a Freddie 2 but a bit different so it wouldn't really feel like a replacement
Exactly what I thought when I first heard this song.
I was thinking the same
Eric is great, but... no.
Nice! I want this to be played at my funeral!
Criminally underrated...
Yep, so is every single band/song ever posted on TH-cam. Check the comments, this is in every one of them.
@nope-z5y gen z is weird. We've all been through puberty. Cocky, maybe try out for jeopardy, prove it publicly? =0
Such an amazing band
I think that you guys are the band best band I heard on the last 10 years, thanks!
this is the greatest and most amazing thing I ever heard
The opening trumpet sound like a song that should be in earthbound
*"Julian, it's papa. I know it's really hard sometimes for you, and it can be really scary, but if you ever need anything, if you ever need me, just close your eyes and I'll come and getcha"*
One word. Underrated
Ugh, this song always helps when I'm feeling shitty 💜
Word
This is astoundingly brilliant. Crazy. But brilliant.
i have literally loved eric nally for so long and none of my friends give him a chance or foxy shazam and it's just like "HOLY SHIT THIS IS TRUE MUSIC LISTEN TO IT NOW"
MAGNÍFICO!! deberían de hacer más canciones y enseñarles a las nuevas generaciones lo que es buena música 😎😎
Está son de esas canciones que quieres cantar a todo pulmón en medio de la calle
Classic song
always will be my favorite song of all time
what a banger oh god i love this
I really miss this band. It makes me sad that they are not around anymore.
So glad they're back now with 3 albums this decade and going strong!
@@a7xfanben I listened to the new one when it dropped! 🙌🏻
July 2024 and keep coming back for this masterpiece!!
glad to have seen the Gonzo tour. one of the best
One of the best from Foxy!
Wow! I love this song. If they ever reunite I will be there.
This is delightful
es una banda infravalorada, siento que deberían tener mucho más éxito
Thank you for this heavy dose of nostalgia to get me through these tough times 💕
This guy's voice is fuckin killer!!!! Holy shit!
This is so beautiful 🥺 why are they so underrated
It’s an actual shame 😭
Ppl need this positivity in their lives
Steve Coogan on the trumpet! That guy is talented!
I've only just heard of them today, and they remind me of a mixture between Queen and early No Doubt =)
I did not know them until I heard Justin Hawkins (The Darkness’s) commenting about his friend Eric Nally. Superb. Surely this is the best song I’ve heard in years. Great influence from early Queen, Sparks and lots more. Incredible band. Will listen to the whole discography.
Im so angry!!!! . This video should have a zillion views.
I thing the same, the song is amazing
Great message to this song
Who are backup singers/ dancers?
They feature in a few vids, and was wondering are they regular collaborators, WAGS, or something?
Amazing stuff. Glad to hear they're back.
The modern Freddie.
Why did this band flame out?
I really love your voice!
Today my 2-year-old made me play it 3 times while foolishly dancing around. The kid has a good taste.
