David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Feat. Florence Welch "Here Lies Love"

[RyanHBP]

This is such a beautiful song.

[SuperSterns]

can u b christian and GAY?

[nakeemrandolph]

i love this song i hear it everytime i go to work

[MsMakahiya]

Imelda Marcos was the best and the most beautiful First Lady the Philippines ever had.

[RelentlessBoner]

@MsMakahiya fuck you for being so damn ignorant

[Pablo34643]

wow this is amazing..... what a collaboration

[siennavine81]

It is a great song, until you hear it every single day when working at the shoe store you work at and it becomes annoying!

[pietrasTheKing]

wyjebista :D szczególnie refren ma taka nutę

[summercloud]

these parts on 4:07 and 5:16 reminds me of Bent - Stay Out All Night

[mysweetheartflo]

it's soooo beautiful...makes me cry and reminds all my memorys... =*

[jasch21]

hope they'd come up with imelda the musical and use all of the songs from the album

[AmosOHiggins]

Is it a sin to love too much?

[angrysheepknowsbest]

i love it,it makes me cry

[Dominique913]

Thank God! a feel good song that doesn't involve sex, makes sense and doesn't have some rapper ruining it!

[prettygirlx4]

Now I begin to believe in perfection beside God, dear, no words can explain how much i love that girl

[prettygirlx4]

OH - EM- GEE

[silenceisdistance]

So strange that lots of people feel they have heard the intro/melody/instrumentals/wha­tever of this song. I have definitely felt that there is something I have heard before in this, can't place it at all though. It is almost as if it creates a feeling of nostalgia or something, that or it's a rip off of something well-known but hard to place haha. Also I can't actually work out if I like the song or just Florence's voice and this strange feeling I get listening to it.

[nagasaki91]

@silenceisdistance it sounds like a Disney song to me =P

[MsMakahiya]

Thanks David for this song about her. Her life story is better than "Cinderella". Cinderella became the princess when the prince married her and that's it, a princess. Imelda, after she married a powerful man, worked hard to build the Filipinos hospitals, parks, housing, education, and many more..Despite the "pangmamata" of the jealous ugly socialites, Imelda emerged far more beautiful inside and outside than a hundred of them combine

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[Maegara]

I am sick of people romanticizing this vile person who is the embodiment of what is wrong with the Philippines. 

[RelentlessBoner]

@Maegara That was the point of this album. David Byrne said he was interested in understanding how leaders could be so corrupt, how they justified the bullshit they did.

[HSFoundLight]

@Maegara listen a little closer. this ain't a romanticization of marcos. of all people why would davidbyrne deify a symbol of materialism? decenter the center. inside-out

[strangenessandcharm1]

this song is beautiful :) only because of florence though :) her voice is absolute perfection <3

[hellcat96]

it's weird that i think of the kennedy administration when i hear this, isn't it?

[carmichael501]

its funny. i gave this a thumbs up. but i really only like florence. i found the music and melody distracting and disjointed.

[Blueknightex]

I was just watching National Treasure 2 and it made me think of something.... what if countries like China and Japan might have helped push Philippines of its peak at becoming one of Asia's well-developed country?

Sad that nowadays very little people know where and what the Philippines is. Instead they think about China and Japan :P

[MsMakahiya]

Imelda Marcos was Ninoy's first and only love. Ninoy married Cory for political and financial reasons. Ninoy hated Marcos for marrying Imelda and Cory hated Imelda so much that her hypocritical saintly rosary clutching image did not even asked forgiveness from Imelda for what she did to her. It became Ninoy and Cory's lifetime quest to ruin Marcos and Imelda. I'm sure they are burning in hell especially Cory for her hypocrisy.

[AnthonyBSmith]

@MsMakahiya None of that happened...

[curacho69]

I felt more respect for Imelda. She deserved this.

[juxtapotato]

@curacho69 Nah.

[martyniao2]

Is it a sin to care???

[martyniao2]

I may be repeating but I JUST LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! :)

[geguish]

Finally, the Music... I stumbled upon an annoying video about counting shoes and the ignorance of Byrne and other artist. What an Ass...

[MyMondday]

Florence's voice enhances everything <3

[CammyArse]

the intro with the violins etc. is it from somewhere else? i feel like i've heard it before... great song either way :D

[k0k0jamb0]

@CammyArse i feel like i've heard the melody from the chorus elsewhere.  still like it though

[PoxiAnne]

Florence Welch is perfection.

[lllnoxonlll]

la storia viene insegnata dei cantanti..molto meglio che a scuola !!

[whatthedeuce81]

I keep hearing this song in shops across London and have finally found it. Thank you!

[MsMakahiya]

Beautiful song about a beautiful lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos.

[themooddisorders]

Does anyone else hear an old Elton John song in some parts? Yellow Brick Road? Listen again and I swear I hear it!

[musepiper]

@themooddisorders

Goldfrapp's fantastic Head First has evidence of Elton John, Billy Joel among others that you may notice.  I'm glad that music keeps getting better.

[lee3sant]

Love it la xx

[iimanda]

why does this song sound so familiar?

[102beans]

i love florence but hate fatboy slim!

[KyleUnwin]

@102beans how can you hate fatboy slim at all?!

[HouseOnSunset]

It's reeks "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina."

[sastal]

They should have plotted the melodies in the beginning, at 4:07, and at 5:15 throughout the entire piece; they are goregous. I bet that FBS is responsible for the middle moment. Pretty song but a bit scattered.

[tigerstripes1001]

Loving this. Fantastic song and great vocals. Bought the album at the weekend. All good songs!

[CeliNi68]

@tigerstripes1001 Which is the album????

[fham2]

@CeliNi68 The album's called "Here Lies Love"

[vamphuntergvh]

3 good artists but this is like a eurovision song - united kingdom nil points

[rakerburn]

I love here!

[curacho69]

beautiful music....

thanks for making songs about a TRUE FILIPINA ICON.... Imelda...

[idioticscheme666]

@curacho69 I wouldn't really look up to her. I have always thought that she was a notorious icon, that's all.

[curacho69]

@idioticscheme666 I am willing to share you some few beautiful facts about her. Yes many tabloids, magazines or books have so much written against them. But if you notice, they were all based on their personal opinions and disbelief. There were so much I must say to you, but I can only say if you had that willingness to hear.

[idioticscheme666]

@curacho69 I always do... go on shoot.

[curacho69]

@idioticscheme666 okay... what do you want to know about them, just ask me some practical question.

[robiin99UK]

I dont care WHO its about, its a beautiful piece of music. this is art, not politics.

[HenryWatt87]

Szernintem csak jó lehet nem?

[kevonmartini10]

Please play this at my funeral!!!!

[TheOrangeCrayon132]

It's actually very interesting, like a mini biography

[tobesters]

I like her voice but the backing sounds dull and disjointed.

[mharkie21]

Imelda is an evil cunt.

[rubien44]

@mharkie21 who are you then? an angel dikkunt? the whole album speaks highly of who she really is. GREAT ALBUM!

[mharkie21]

@rubien44 LOL you need to read a lot.

[mshanseat1]

@rubien44 oh just stop flooding the site with your countless comments, it is getting boring !!

[Catz1985]

Is David Byrne coming out with an official music video for this single?

[rubien44]

IMELDA to this day has proven sincerely that she is proud shoes were gifts and used to promote THE SHOE industry in the PHILS. GOLD invested by MARCOS is what she used-NOT THE NATIONAL MONEY. MOST JEWELRY were given or bought by her with marcos money-MARCOS is rich. ANY ORDINARY people with their honeymoon toured the world could do that. SO MARCOS has money of his own.

[curacho69]

@rubien44 Thats true....

[MsMakahiya]

@arbgnv THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. YOU'RE BLINDED BY THE BAD PUBLICITY OF THE AQUINO ADMINISTRATION. THE TRUTH IS PRESIDENT MARCOS AND FIRST LADY IMELDA ARE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY. NINOY AQUINO IS THE BRAIN BEHIND ENDLESS RALLIES, PROTESTS, PLAZA MIRANDA BOMBING BEC. OF HIS ASSOC. TO THE NPA AND CPP. HE DESERVED TO BE INCARCERATED. MARCOS DID NOT KILL AQUINO.

[curacho69]

@MsMakahiya agree with you.... If Marcos really behind the killing of Aquino then why did he made it in public AIR PORT.

Truly it was the same Aquino allies who killed Aquino to put blame against Marcos.

[MsMakahiya]

THANK YOU PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS AND FIRST LADY IMELDA MARCOS. Thank you David Byrne for the wonderful song for our Firsst Lady. I only hope for the best for the Marcos Family. BONGBONG MARCOS FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016.

[MsMakahiya]

The Filipinos are beginning to appreciate the good they did for oour country. The Lung Center, Kidney Center, Heart Center, Cultural Center, Film Center, renovation of PGH, San Juanico Bridge, Bliss Projects, ugrade of Luneta Park and Intramuros, etc..., etc....

[Blueknightex]

@MsMakahiya but it pains me to see that not a lot of people know of our country. When I meet people some of them would tell me..."Are you from China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia,etc" but would never mention the Philippines.

Also I would often see some of my fellow Philippines saying that they are "half" when asked about their nationality. It shows that they are not proud of where they come from. Its sad :(

[DrMattDestruction]

@Blueknightex it's not sad. patriotism is for the weak. be a good human/living being. for the greater good of this universe.

[LDCSDD1]

florence + the machine are amazing and created one of the best albums ever made with lungs

[7cakemomma5]

This song woke me up this morning, thought I'd give it the necessary propers since it will be stuck in my head for the day

great music. everybody sees her charming and great diplomatic ways to win the heart of many. I LOVE THE ALBUM IMELDA SUCH A BEAUTY IN AND OUT.

[rubien44]

GREAT ALBUM. THE WORLD CAN;T DENY IMELDA'S STYLE AND GRACEFULL DIPLOMATIC ways THE WOLRD KNOWS. I LOVE THIS MUSIC AND THE ALBUM- BRILLIANT. GET IT TO THE MUSICAL STAGE PLS.........

[rubien44]

HISTORY IN THE MAKING. the marcos DID GREAT JOB. Imelda with her GRACEFULL STYLE-icon and DIPLOMATIC WAYS put PHILIPPINES ON TOP THEN. i LOVE THIS ALBUM, CANT WAIT TO SEE IT ON STAGE MUSICAL. BRILLIANT CONCEPT!

[MsMakahiya]

@rubien44 I love our First Lady Imelda Marcos. She has beauty, style, grace, poise, and very smart. There's no one like her. She and President Marcos did so much for the Philippines. .

[rubien44]

I LOVE how IMELDA USE HER CHARM AND HER LOVE OF BEAUTY AND ARTS to attract great leaders to put PHILLIPINES almost on top. STYLE/brain and PROPER PRESENTATION of oneselves is very important REGARDLESS what people say. THE NATION was BETTER THEN...GREAT ALBUM - CANT WAIT TO BECOME A STAGE SHOW.

[puffdaddy360]

If you guys dont like imelda then go and be creative on your own and write a cory song or whatever thats if any record label gives a damn.. I like the song and I am from the epicenter of marcos country called batac. And im proud that such artistry as these had been made with the help of the well known fatboy slim himself. Shut up with these propagandas for once and appreciate such a lovely song and be proud of the artist because without her inspiration like imeldific such thing would not exist.

[Catz1985]

@puffdaddy360 I agree it is such a great song. Florence Welch's voice is stuck in my head. I think these cory supporters will write songs about the Aquino glory. I doubt the songwriter will be inspired like David Byrne (who wrote the album without being asked or commissioned to do so). The Aquino album will be more likely a commissioned album but why why wait 'til a songwriter got inspired by Imelda? They should've made an album about the Aquino glory before David Byrne's.

[bearysleepy]

I don't know if any other Filipino Americans can disturbingly agree this would actually be a good cha-cha song despite the topic of the song.

[mufcmob]

just enjoy the fucking song

[qwer8907]

i am not interested in imelda marcos not a good idea for a concept album i know there is a lot of poverty in the phillipines how about david bryne and fatboy slim donating the profits from this to help the poor people living on the streets ?

[johnny7055]

I agree with MCMG, I love Florence and this song is really something special

[phunkyboy]

this would make a great eurovision winner.

[neoblitzkrieg17]

that is IMELDA MARCOS right...she is just 100 meters away from my house...

so far she is the most beautiful first lady of the PHILIPPINES...

[KuMaG]

@neoblitzkrieg17

lol! shes less than 2 meters from my house!

[neoblitzkrieg17]

@KuMaG that's great..

[mshanseat1]

the music is great - but WHY on earth must the wife of a corrupt dictator be glorified like this ???

[curacho69]

@mshanseat1 corrupt dictator, could you tell me something proven things that would justify your statement.

[NoJboysAPN0Journey]

some of the tracks are a little disappointing but great history lesson

[NoJboysAPN0Journey]

this is also available to buy in HMV UK

[LeighMartinezzz]

the best way to download this mp3 from youtube is to google mp3iiiiify.

[davisurdaneta]

I am a Filipino but I dunno if i have to be proud of this David Byrne's Here Lies Love Album, featuring the life of our former first lady Imelda Marcos life. My countrymen are deeply divided on the Marcos, issues. But I must admit that Imelda Marcos, is really stunning, regal and lovely. She's queenly type. It's either you'll love her or hate her. I met her in close contact several times and she was nice. After hating her for so long now I am beginning to like her. ;-)

[Blueknightex]

@davisurdaneta - they are just telling the story of the Marcos family. They aren't glorifying them or anything lol

I think it's a great history lesson =)

[quirkykirsten]

wow! im an ozzie fan, i had to call my best mate via 1800mumdad to tell her abt this vid!

[lexos1993]

f*ck yea, im so glad norman made another record, i thought Late Night Tales would have been his last album.

[IndoAmeriCanadian]

this song wud make a great runway music...

[boncielo]

beautiful music!

[TeddyOnTheLine]

This would be the very best track for Alice In Wonderland i strongly think.

[thomasdashed]

oh no someone got a bunch of samples in david byrne's only vocal melody. i am high and can't get into this.

[16161161661]

@mushroom692 never said it better

[petshopgirl72]

It's Very good

[xXFelixtheCatXx]

Wow, I usually listen to Rock, Metal, Hard Rock and Funk music, but this whole album is absolutely amazing. It's so simple yet so brilliantly put together, and overall, a joy to actually listen to.

[unicorn4sure]

God this song is gorgeous.......

[bajaosurfer]

@unicorn4sure

THE FRENCH EMPIRE HAD MARIE ANTOINETTE

THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE HAD CATHERINE THE GREAT

THE PHILIPPINE EMPIRE WILL HAVE IMELDA MARCOS!

IMELDA, IMELDA, BELOVED AND ETERNAL!

JEWEL OF OUR RACE!

[garretsanchez]

Great song! Having said that I hope this album does not glorify or romanticize Imelda. It's too easy to forget the lessons of history. One only has compare the country before and after the Marcos regime to begin to realize the irreparable damage they have done.

[MadelaineAshton]

fantstic!!! a beautiful song and a beautiful voice

[faithlessmaldito]

we suffer alot but we still sees the beauty of life. thank you

[kitchkate]

Heavens above Theresa May is for peace and love!

[partridgezombie71]

Such a fantastic track and I'm not a fan of Flo.  A real feel good 6 minutes of music !

[IDontWantToKnow19]

I Love Florence, i can't get enough of her music.

[mizbuki]

@ sydbarret1973 - you're CRAZY to say flo has only put out "bad originals"! maybe you aren't crazy for her type of music, but come on, you're not even being fair! again, we all have different opinions & that's fine, but you're sooo off w/ this one...in my opinion anyways! now david byrne, love.love.him! i've known of the talking heads, but was never a huge fan until i saw the 'stop making sense' dvd! after that, i had a new respect for him & his band & was more than hooked!!! kisS.kiSs.

[restlessdavid]

Love it! ;-))))  everything that good music should be

[kethry25]

Curacho69, i am offended by your blanket description that Filipinas today are slutty. Yes, imelda glamorized the Filipino culture and traditional dress but let us review and reflect on our history - on the excesses and exploitation during martial law - and the role that Imelda had. However, I thought that the song and the rest of the album captyred how Imelda thinks and how people thought of her. Plus wonderful music to boot.

[curacho69]

@kethry25 you might be offended but it was the TRUTH. I am on my teenage now. On schools I could hardly recognized whom of my classmates are virgin.

[curacho69]

@kethry25 You are offended however it is the Truth, I'm on my teenage now and I could easily recognized a 2 or less number of virgins in the class.

[curacho69]

this is most people dont knew about IMELDA, she dress well, smart and beautiful. These were because she represent a FILIPINA Beauty, unlike to these days, Filipina looks WEST, a slut imitation. She dress the national dress. If Imelda really abused her power, why thus the PHILIPPINE LUNG CENTER, HEART CENTER, AND MOST INFRASTRUCTURES of today still standing STILL.

[superdeadfrog]

wow florence got some lungs on her! =) i love florence and the machine and flos voice is so beautiful! aswell as her looks and personality! amazing person! and amazing song

[lowvoltage2]

When I was a young girl in Leyte My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scrubs Id see the people smile, and I would sing for them How happy they all seemed when I would dance We lived a stones throw from the palace A simple country girl who had a dream Ladies passing by Of better class than I How much it meant to me To be like these Is it a sin to love too much?

[thejimbobshow]

beautiful.

[yesanastasia19]

amazing song :)

[asceticfish]

you have to strip the shoes and the history... its pure genius - this coming from someone who has experienced the wrath of imelda... take it for what it is. great music!

[ruds001]

I don´t knkow why Imelda? but the music is wonderfuck...

[sydbarret1973]

this is the best song florence has done...i have never seen the attraction with her,all she has done is bad originals and mediocre covers.....it took the genius of byrne to give her a good tune to sing to

[redyossarian]

Very nice indeed. But the sociological and historical context of Marcos' activity succesfully prevents me from liking it.

[MuseCantLoose]

love it

[archimmes]

Amazing

[TheoStenner]

bitches don't know she dih'ent write the song.

[lottie123999]

@TheoStenner hence y it says feat. florence welch!

[gnitleinad]

this is amazing.

[superdeadfrog]

florence is amazing!

like WOW :D

[fallenbutflying]

what an amazing song.

[kiplinggorilla]

april is too far away! i need to but this song NOW.

[HiMyNameisFex]

i can't stop listening to it! it's addictive! do you know where I could find the lyrics?

[MCMGxMadeInDetroit]

It's also really colourful, it's different to most of the things that Florence has done in the past. It's great, I absolutely love it! I'm going to try to buy this when it comes out.

[MCMGxMadeInDetroit]

This is incredible! I'm so glad to see Florence Welch pushing on to the top. She is so natural, so fluent. Vocally she is beautiful and raw, and the same goes for her personality and looks.

This is a really pretty and uplifting song. I adore Florence and The Machine and am happy that they're getting the recognition they deserve. Stunning.

[Trammelbach]

@MCMGxMadeInDetroit feel the same way. Just hope the fame doesn`t influence Florence to much. But If she stays true to herself we don`t have to worry at all :)

[Trebtar]

Where can I get an MP3 of this song?!

[siliconetoast]

nice ! as odd as the album sounds I've liked what I've heard so far !

[halfacig]

I can't stop listening to this.

[Morganofthefay]

God I love this song. I can't wait to snag this when it's released.

[vanillapod1]

ohh it's pretty ^^

[JoniBleachFan]

Shit, this is incredible

[honzisko]

such a great song!
