LYRICS:
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Don’t get stuck in the past
Say your favourite things at mass
Tell your mother that you love her
And go out of your way for others
Sit beneath a light that suits ya
And look forward to a brighter future
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Sink as far down as you can be pulled up
Happiness really ain’t all about luck
Let your demeanour be your deep down self
And don’t sacrifice your life for your health
When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empt
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Bring your own two cents
Never borrow them from someone else
Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour
Throw your hair down from your lonely tower
And if, and if
You find yourself in the family way
Give the kid more than what you got in your day
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Never let a clock tell you what you got time for
It only goes around, goes around, goes around
Take your family name for your own great sins
Cuz each day is where it all begins
And
Don’t give up too quick
You only get one line - you better make it stick
If we give ourselves to every breath
Then we’re all in the running for a hero’s death
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
That was the year of the sneer now the real thing's here - เพลง
I LOVE that line “When you speak, speak sincere, and believe me friend, everyone will hear”.
And don’t sacrifice your life for your health... fuck sake brilliant
@@dannygee8600 Ridiculously brilliant writing.
It reminds me of the truthers to the people😉
Sit beneath a light that suits you
@@dannygee8600 that’s my life philosophy
How I imagine the Late Late Show would be if David Lynch produced it.
I knew this was meant to be Gay Byrne
Hahah spot on. Aidan is acting like a David Lynch character here
Meaning, actually worth watching.
@@i_dont_know_who_i_am69 It's the red room from Twin Peaks, Eric Andre did his show like this.
@@ryangarritty9761 Out of all the vapid talk-show hosts.. I kind of like Colbert.
The whole song feels like a countdown, like something is going to explode.
It is so immersive!
Ts always like that with them :P
th-cam.com/video/eiirQFJN22M/w-d-xo.html
But it never does which is annoying. Just let loose lads!
life !!
oops .....bom(b) school obviously haha........we're on the case
Life ain’t always empty and Chaos isn't a pit, chaos is a ladder.
Or a dagger.
Or mick jagger.
@@MimiYouyu or a jäger
Nice GoT reference
Can’t wait to see where the next album goes, great to have that feeling of a band to believe in again.
Great work, Poo Man
This is the band of the future
Poo Man th-cam.com/video/eiirQFJN22M/w-d-xo.html
Wise words, Poo Man
In the direction of the Strokes listening to that riff :)
This song would've been perfect for Trainspotting.
Nailed it
jajajaja i heard it on the radio and I though it was IGGY POP XD
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was so sure this song was in the movie that I Googled “Trainspotting Fontaines DC” and here I am
Luas spotting
This song is every mantra I say to myself when I’m feeling depressed. Focus on gratitude, servitude, sincerity, and look don’t take it all too seriously.
replying to this so you keep this track in mind
@@pedrov8649 you’re a good person
it's a great message hey. Really needed to hear it when I came across this song
That sincere but important struggle of acting in service of others, but struggling to do the right thing selflessly, that’s a hero’s duty.
on the surface the lyrics are really optimistic but the anxiety inducing guitar riff gives off a really overwhelming sense of dread and makes the lyrics seem more ironic, almost as if the vocalist is trying to kid himself on that everything's fine, backed by the beach boys-esque vocal harmonies and doo wop adlibs that youd typically find in a much more up beat song
Video has the exact same vibe, something fucked up lurking beneath what's supposed to be a wholesome talk show.
This...
The last bit felt like a meth flashback
do be do be do........are you 10? poor fool.........
The atonal, the vocal disharmony ,the insistent guitar riff, it ain't the Picture This, the sweethearts Kodaline, and it ain't a begrudge. It's just, the country went through 10 years of an Ireland collapse after the financial crisis. Could ye not write a fucking rock song, no? Nice to see the likes of the Fontaines reflect at least an essence of the societal psychosocial disaster.
I see Aidan Gillen and click immediately!

Darling, don't set your sights so low:(
Aidan is just brilliant as always
Lélé Kudelka th-cam.com/video/eiirQFJN22M/w-d-xo.html
ooooohhhhh.............idiot
Great great actor. He would be a great Bond villain
He's a big guy
@@steel1151970 would've been a great M but Ralph killed it.
The best lyrics I've heard in a long time.
Honestly love this track, the way he can sing the words “Life ain’t always empty” over and over again in a different tone and make it sound better each time in my opinion, is increadible. Fontaine’s DC rock
the lyrics in this are like quotes that stick in your head and you randomly remember them. My fav is "happiness aint all about luck"
These guys are on fire. The best thing to hit the music scene in years.
And Girl Band??
I agree, and you should really check out Idles, The Murder Capital, Shame, Protomartyr and Viagra Boys, all great band in the same genre proximity. Post is coming back I feel, what a time we got in coming
@@loet8765 Oui, I love Idles, Shame and Protomaryr... Actually, I think there is a lot of good rock/post music in this moment.. But Girl Band, wow, they are over everything...
ummm....iceage CONSTANTLY releases majestic fuel for the ear!!! But i agree with the sentiment
King gizzard too
Beginning sounds like a darker version of Last Nite by the Strokes
I thought that too!
This song is so dark its as bright as the sun 😎
The drum at the beginning reminded me of Liberty Bell.
every thing they do sounds like the Strokes........but I wouldn't mind having an auld stroke from the lead singer
Now that you say that lad...good point.
"When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear" Top choon from a top top band 🎸🎸
Brendan Walsh th-cam.com/video/eiirQFJN22M/w-d-xo.html
My favourite lines in it - I think it's 'adhere' instead of hear mate.
@@hughmacdonnell9096 oh shit.. I'm some dope... thanks man 🙏
@@hughmacdonnell9096 roll down the description of video. you can see the lyrics where stands "hear"
@@dusanskunda6510 thanks Dušan.. 🙏🎸
aidan did this for just a bottle of whiskey, what a man
Depends on the whisky...
A true gentleman
He's a legend
@@jeffgraham9210 Jameson Dublin Whiskey for sure!
I was listening to MTV just as background noise and about went into cardiac arrest when I looked up and saw Aidan Gillen. Love him, brilliant actor.
I don't know if you know it, but these are the most important lyrics of the year.
They're gonna be big
Marios Dem for you
Marios Dem nows not the time for compliments, that comes later
It's starting.
This guys as well! Check them out! th-cam.com/video/Y4NEBjRAKQ8/w-d-xo.html
But their childhood was small
Life ain't always empty, like when
you FIND OUT THERE'S A NEW SINGLE FROM FONTAINES OMG LOVE YOU GUYS
Aidan Gillen... gorgeous as always 😍
I discovered IDLES recently and now this, damn, and I found out that they toured together, should have been crazy
Don't forget about Viagra Boys.
The Strokes meets Joy Division. Love how simple everything is. Raw.
Clash i guess
Mostly the fall
@@babingtonrow4011 yeah that's too
@@babingtonrow4011 that's what I said the first time I saw them.. So like the Fall
The worst thing about music in 2020 is the need for people to do this. Go look up any modern punk band and the comments are full of people who are so used to everything being neatly pigeon holed that they can't help themselves from doing this. It's always the same bands being mentioned. Go seek out a Viagra Boys song and check the comments. "Oh they sound like The Fall! They sound like Joy Division! They sound like Iggy Pop!" Blah blah blah blah blah. Fontaines DC sound like Fontaines DC, nothing else needs to be said.
This feels like quarantine. Every day, same day, slow decay.
Life ain’t always empty
Don’t get stuck in the past
Say your favourite things at mass
Tell your mother that you love her
And go out of your way for others
Sit beneath a light that suits ya
And look forward to a brighter future
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Sink as far down as you can be pulled up
Happiness really ain’t all about luck
Let your demeanour be your deep down self
And don’t sacrifice your life for your health
When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap
Bring your own two cents
Never borrow them from someone else
Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour
Throw your hair down from your lonely tower
And if, and if you find yourself in the family way
Give the kid more than what you got in your day
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Ah, never let a clock tell you what you got time for
It only goes around, goes around, goes around
Take your family name for your own great sins
'Cause each day is where it all begins
And don’t give up too quick
You only get one line, you better make it stick
If we give ourselves to every breath
Then we’re all in the running for a hero’s death
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Ooh-ooh
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap
🙏🏾
That was the year of the sneer now the real thing's here
LAAAASSTT NIIIGHT SHEEE SAAAAIDD
*SHEESH
i haven't been this psyched for an album since like ever
Oh Aidan 🙄 Perfect.. You're so perfect 😍😍😍
Aiden Gillen is an amazing actor!
This song told me everything I needed to hear when I was depressed and I didn't need to go to therapy, wow!
“When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend everyone will hear…” I swear I’ll never forget that line
This is the type of music that is soo needed. There’s too much crap that sounds all the same. This is so refreshing. Can’t stop playing it
What`s rare is special!
It's exactly that. Fresh. Unpredictable in a predictable way
I couldn't wait to hear a studio version of this one... you certainly didn't disappoint me. Great stuff!
Dancing at the disco, bumper to bumper.Roll it there Collette.
ah jaysus can't unhear it now hahaha
This is a flat-out masterpiece.
The return of Aberama Gold
Julian tell me a better person in peaky blinders. I’ll wait....
Maxwell Joy maybe: Curly
And Stewart Jones !
This song definitely needs to be on the next series as well as idles new song
@@maxwelljoy8934 John boy
I see Littlefinger really _does_ have eyes everywhere

Insee Abarama Gold
Milan Heusschen shut up
I didn't expect those lines. Brilliant lyrics ⚡
There's a career's moment in some bands that nothing, nothing can go wrong. That's the moment of Fontaines DC. Peak of the hill, this is rock'n'roll relevant, raw, brilliant
Or maybe the peak of the foothill, who knows what's coming next?
and you manage who? "peak of the hill" hehe..........a few more years of classes methinks.............
This is some real post punk shit, this album is gonna be so good. I cannot wait to hear more bangers like this.
My favourite band. Dogrel is my favourite album since definitely maybe and this is unbelievable. Roll on album 2
this song and band are truly insane, cannot wait to see more from them, loving everything about this!!
Love both the Fontaines and that "in Lynch style" clip! We haven't seen or hear some ART for a long time now! Thank you lads!!!
Fantastic AGAIN. If album two is any way near as good as album one, Fontaines will be easily one of the top bands in the world
Could it be that Fontaines DC will actually outdo their first iconic record on their sophomore album? This single gives us a tantalizing hint.
I cried. Thank you for this one
just preorded the album, cant wait!
Great song, awesome as always! Already preordered the album!
can't wait for the new album!
Fantastic song. And love seeing the amazing Aiden Gillen in this music video
Love this band. Exactly my style of tunes.
One of the giants of post-punk today.
"And don't sacrifice your life for your health"
What a line
heard this on the radio. fell in love.
Just amazing!!especially lyrics!!!
My 3yr old Daughter asks for this song to be played often. I'm such a good mum =)
yes you are
You're the bloody best mum , much love !
Your baby is a genius!
Aidan Gillen. Enough said 👌
Love the lyrics! Love you lads!
Genial. Necesitos más ya !!! 😬
Aidan Gillen 🔥
Shame on the main Irish radio stations (bar Mcloone, any others?) for not playing this a 1000 times a day.
What’s weird is that I just heard this song on a major italian rock station.
Many times it’s a case of not knowing what you got when you have it, shame.
They also get played on Australian radio
BBC Radio 6Music absolutely love Fontaines! Hear them played almost daily.
Too busy playing West life, they always play it safe 👐
Come on Sean moncrief & John creedon ..John peel I bloody miss you
Best thing I've heard in a while, and one of best hooks in history.
Just gets better and better. and I think there's more to come. brilliant
Jesus these are so good I’ve literally soiled my own pants in anticipation of the new album. Peace and Love
That kind of song that don't give the explosion you expect, great
Imagination running wild on awesome tunes. Well done.
Wicked song cool vid nice work to all involved.
Most exciting band right now
This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. These guys are gonna be HUGE.
One year later after your post NME make them `Best Band in the World`, it`s hard to argue with that, all competition considered in this time in recent years, decades even in rock history. This band could easily survive in an earlier era when they would have had some serious gifted bands to deal and compete with, but unfortunately the state of real inventive talent is so rare it gives these boys a clear run, absolutley no competition in this sad 2022. Thank God for Fontaines DC . I was born in 1962 but a young man who was born in 2002 told me they are the only band that are honest and sincere and the kids today need that the same attitude and coolness i needed 45 years ago. Never Mind about Johnny Rotten !`cause Rock n Roll will Never Die.`
There is tons of good music out there and the wonderful thing us its being made by people from the ages of 18 to 80, doing it themselves. I love it. Hopefully the horrendous music industry will eventually go fuck itself.
Amazing Music, brilliant Video and the best actor in it!
This music video is so worth the wait! Catchy song and Aidan of course
There are SO MANY great ideas in this video, so many layers. It's genius. And a crazy dark warning to not following the advice of the song. So smart.
Sono completamente d'accordo con te. Video semplicemente geniale, rara perfezione di accostamento suoni e immagini. Sicuramente una delle cose migliori fatte begli ultimi 20 anni.
Life ain't always empty...not with tunes like this it ain't!
So true xx
Great video, fits the song so well
Exactly the song we needed.
Love the song, so excited for the album. Nice to see a great band and a great actor collab. Some David Lynch vibes with the video too.
I bet you this was Aiden Gillan`s favourite gig ever!
My favorite band on the planet.
You guys just blew it out the park with so many good tracks on the second album
Just heard this song on the radio. Fuckin’ stellar. Best thing I’ve heard in a while!! 🖤
Yeah the boys
Casper Dercksen th-cam.com/video/eiirQFJN22M/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant! Love itttttt
Lessons for life in this song, amazing really from such young people. Took me a while to understand the video but I get it now, I think.
TELL YOUR MOTHER THAT YOU LOVE HER
Every day 👍
These guys are the next big thing.
"Sink as far down as you can be pulled up
Happiness really ain't all about luck". Fantastic lyrics. Fantastic song. Fantastic band.
this be doing some brain healing right now , thank you !
one of the empties has an inflection, like it's more of a searching question. Quite clever, Oscar would approve :)
That fucking feeling when i first listened to Arctic monkeys, Oasis or Mark E Smith,now put it all in one moment
Love it, glad to get a studio version with a quality video keep up the good work
Love this song
That's cheered me up a bit.
2020 trying to make it up to us finally, with great music!
Indeed!!!
Thank Christ
Love this
Wonderful!
great visuals/great song/great work.
Очень нравится подобный контент.
Where is the great song?
Album of the year incoming
Gran bel brano! Complimenti Fontaines DC
I haven't been so excited for an album in ages! But I'm certain the wait until July 31 will feel like ages in lockdown... 😕
such an exciting post..........thanks for sharing........you've got a few months to find a brain
the talk show host’s mannerisms reminds me of homelander from the boys lol
