Phoenix - Consolation Prizes (Best Quality)

[oHLaBKK]

love phoenix

[siniau]

pretty much all of their songs are amazing.

[TheEnthralledOne]

Awesome song and an awesome video!

[LEGOFFMARTINEAU]

je soupçonne le chanteur de parler beaucoup mieux anglais qu'il ne le fait lors des interviews (je trouve que son anglais parlé est horrible)

[TheDIROL77]

mgm style

[MelomanPF]

Lionel MESSSIIIIII

[cyril7865]

one of the best bands!!! cool song

[rockdoublard]

Cool beans : the Phoenix is reborn once more from its ashes !!!!

[Loki0012]

no, how many amazing videos do they have!?

[superluigi92]

were they standing behind a green screen and the time lapse background cropped in?

[criisnf]

Yeah...they're better than I thought xDD



[MON3225]

:OMG ALL I NEED TONIGHT GOOD SONG!!

[mirrukarru]

one of my fav. groups ever! thanks for uploading!

[leone100]

Where they found this p10 wireless?

[dappajr310]

realy the best quality dam

[nidyarangel]

omg i even think he looks hott

[lolgurlyyy]

how many snap shots did they take? wow

[nidyarangel]

@lolgurlyyy i know right ......but its awesome

[hipsterr5]

thomas mars<3

[Niaggalover]

I love this song!!!! It feels like I live this song everyday I wake up and go to sleeep~!! :)!

[dinster70]

thomas mars is at his most freakin adorable here

[TheNanakDev]

I know it's in English, but sometimes I haven't a clue what he's saying.

[cristyhendric]

Right on....great music!!!

[starkidcomix]

I like how there is only one amp.

[grita34]

thomas mars looks like jason schwartzman

[teammexico6]

@grita34 except uglier.but they're both pretty crispy

[Hangshai]

they coulda had the drummer AT LEAST standing there wit hsome sticks or something... Or maybe just his snare.. WTF, Did he get kicked out the band or something? lol

[doublethink921]

@Hangshai the band doesn't have a drummer, they either use a drum machine or a session drummer. They hire a drummer for tours and the like but officially its just the four guys.

[fionaspencer8]

@doublethink921

Thomas Mars is actually a drummer and played most of the drums on Alphabetical.

[doublethink921]

@fionaspencer8 yeah, and he wrote most of the drum parts afterwards. I was just referring to the fact that no one holds the position of being the drummer for phoenix. Thomas Hedlund performs a lot of the drum parts but he's not part of the band and simply plays things already created for him

[marksfeir94]

yeah but do you know how hard it would be to reposition the drums for every photo in this janks?

[goduke420]

thissing is underated

[eccho13]

Phoenix + Stop moton = AWESOME

[zoomaki]

@eccho13 this is not Stop Motion, it's Pixilation.

[eccho13]

@zoomaki what's pixilation?

[PotterLover1]

what commercial had this song?!

[GOrockiesbaby]

i swear ever song phoenix has ever made is on a commercial

[Browncoat1138]

It has a similar feel to They'll Need a Crane by They Might Be Giants... I can dig it.

[novanine9]

@Browncoat1138 - wow, forgot all about that band.

Phoenix is one of the better bands, in a long tim

[idasfa38]

this must've taken ages to make

[17jnoriega]

YAY Paris!!!!

[MrGuy266]

Anybody notice that the first 5 pictures of Phoenix, the lead singer changes his shirt :P

[fionaspencer8]

@MrGuy266

Well, I mean he's gotta wear that blue shirt!

[Peterw9001]

their egos must be too big to afford letting in another one, hence they dont show the drummer. I think they wrote this song already

[spaztastic90210]

the 9 people that clicked thumbs down just lost karma

[bloodxalibi]

Wow, stop motion. (y)

But yeah, they really should show the drummer. :|

[1979rickfukingjames]

why dont they ever incude the drummer??? the drummer is fuckin BEAST!!!!!!!

[rachelistheowniest]

@1979rickfukingjames he's not actually part of the band. he only does live performances with them.

but i agree. he is fucking beast.

[bass109]

lord jesus is savior

[cybounet]

MrMaethor je suis presque sur que ça été tourné (en parti) devant le chateau de vincennes. :)

En tout cas très sympa le clip

[MrMaethor]

ou ça a été tourné ? j'ai reconnu les tuileries bien sur et peut etre versailles mais apres je ne vois pas :(

un clip super artistique Vive Phoenix :D

[TehCheezBurgrz]

HAHA I LOVE THIS SONG <3 Valet commercials ftw.

[MsBrowny123]

this song and lizstomaina r the best songs

[ThatEpicAsian]

I knew this song long before the commercials. When they played this song in the commercials I was like "HOLY CRAP, IT'S PHOENIX!

[wsender]

For those who said they saw it in a commercial, it's also in a Cisco Systems commercial.

[kitkatEAK]

I couldn't keep my eyes off the video. It was so cool.

[THE3HUNDREDS]

HEY GUY WATCH MY LISZTOMANIA AND LAST NIGH BY THE STROKES MASHUP I PROMISE YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED

[aapiebooter]

where's the drummer?

[qruxx]

@aapiebooter They borrow theirs

[AlexCanQS]

@aapiebooter looks as though hes the one playing the accoustic guitar? because i think they have 4 members. so maybe they recorded him drumming and then just recorded this video of him using an accoustic guitar? idk. otherwise he got the measles

[Harris91]

@aapiebooter Seriously. As a drummer I feel neglected...

[junwoo777]

@aapiebooter its a drum machine =D lol jk iono

[zeldaoftime]

@aapiebooter recording!! n_n

[TheBugattiVeyronV16]

@aapiebooter

I don't think they have one. Well, apart from the 4 original band members.

[madmaxj2]

@aapiebooter the drummer is not part of the band, he is just a studio drummer they pick up for gigs.

[HydroAlexis]

@aapiebooter Playing guitar i suppose

[AlphonseHunter93]

@HydroAlexis They don't have a permanent drummer. They just pick certain ones up for gigs.

[11OMNOMNOM11]

@aapiebooter behind the green screen?

[t3t0m3d1n4]

@aapiebooter I'll bet that they have a sampled drum running through that Vox...

[geezo94]

@aapiebooter we can't get the drums travel around so fast, so we just kick him out, trololol

[vicr234]

its from the valet commercial:)

[bogusia721]

They recorded this video in Paris, I've been in almost all of those places.

[payazocharly]

woww.... buenísimo!

[RandomXRockXFan]

It took me a while to realize that the drummer's not here.

[Thekidsareonfire]

Phoenix Is awesome. And so is stop motion! Check out my videos if you like stop motion

[crayola342]

the video is stupid, but i LOVE the song

[6slavid]

what album is this on?

[Thekidsareonfire]

@6slavid North

[fionaspencer8]

@6slavid

Prolly already found it by now but it's on It's Never Been Like That. Best of their albums.

[brybry308]

lol i didnt know they sang this song i just herd this song on a target comercial....

[zealouszaty]

i first heard them in lost of translation movie. love the part when scarlett johannson and friends dancing to too young. i love their music. always make me feel happy.

[TheLoulette9999]

love it *_*

[shooter1251]

they're so french... i love it !

[Thekidsareonfire]

@shooter1251 hell yeah!

[TheLoulette9999]

toujours à passer en boucle !!

<3 X 10000

[tink111495]

hahaha how many amazing songs do they have!?

[Thekidsareonfire]

@tink111495 Alot. Which means :)

[Sanderr12]

@tink111495

it never stops

[mister6sir]

i watched thsi video like 12 times and i just noticed the drummer isnt there hahahaha

[Thelxiapeia]

@mister6sir Can you imagine how hard it would be to set up the drums that many times? Ha.

Torture is what that would be.

[NonieBell23]

i love them :)

[MrEggroll2424]

this was on a flip video commercial

[cjaygrove]

This band is amazing. I love their sound. The music sounds like something a person who is having an amazing day would listen, because it's so uppity

[mariohds86]

there's an ad on American TV that uses this song on it, go sue them!!

[Rawrr71]

@mariohds86

what is with americans nowadays with sueing?

[onealh3508]

do u dislike america

[sakurafever6]

I love Phoenix =) but wheres the drummer =(

[cookiezbitch]

I love this video! its heka awesome!!

[TheLancey13]

the riff is pretty much the same as hungry kids of hungary - scattered diamonds??

[HilaryB30]

@TheLancey13 I think what you meant to say is that Scattered Diamonds by Hungry Kids of Hungary is pretty much the same as this riff.

[TheMustardman29]

honestly, this band isn't all about love songs. I respect that cause it seems like the mainstream artist only sing those songs. There good and all but Phoenix goes out there and makes different music. GO PHOENIX

[smileforchelsea]

wearephoenix!

[xkillermikeyx]

i lov dis song!!!!!! its da shizz!!!!! <3<3<3 2day last day of skool~ *tear*

[lord2313]

very well done both the tune and the video, energetic without being crazy, very well balanced.

[nykballaz]

It's gnius i forget all the time tht their native language is french !!! honestly soo talented

[ghijessica]

I think that this music video makes me love this song more than I did before. A lot more.

[DADDYMOUSTACHE]

5 years ago I loved them. Now theyre all poularrrrrrrrr

[rockchick1XD]

@DADDYMOUSTACHE nice :) but are they really popular? im not sure XD cause lisztomania only has like 3 million views and thats not that many for it being the hit song u know? :S

[BriiJorable]

[TehKhalidah]

This video is so cool

[kellymadden320]

this sounds like something that "vampire weekend" would do..but i love it :)

[Ironicusz]

I wonder how much of those Blue shirts the lead singer has in his closet :P !

[minority614]

le musee du Louvre...!?

[p0l0pr]

[NyashaMe]

@Alternator08 .... both Branco and Christian are wearing skinny jeans.

[misolikey]

blue shirt's thomas's trademark!

[tonylerms]

this song is alright

liztomania is better than this song

[11MeIsRelySmart11]

1.) Consolation Prizes

2.) Everything Is Everything

3.) Lisztomania

4.) If I Every Feel Better

5.) 1901

This song fucking rocks! I cant wait to here it when ever I have a chance to

[Musicasaurus]

This is such a nice video!

Great song as well

[Astley]

[AmarokkMusic]

[iSweetShakesi]

[nchintella]

[iSweetShakesi]

I want to know if he's doing both at the same time. That's talent.

[broomie1234]

the drummer is not an official member

[iSweetShakesi]

You're not an official member!

[jewelcaseface]

ooo cuz i was confused lol

[AlexDeMars123]

@iSweetShakesi Don't worry about it...

[CarnessaCp]

This is a stop motion. gosh this is amazing.

I lovee Phoenix(:

[addoyan]

[cozygrl]

[jaimeff99]

[TheOneFromTheEast]

some...some...awesome!!!!

It's the first song I heard of them. So positive...these French guys...the chord changes; from Bmaj to F-sharp-maj...I just love 'em!

[JKaiserable]

describes a scenario currently taking place in my life

[allykat8942]

i adore phoenix!

great band

and they always put me in that feel good mood

[TheBKBroila]

Reminds me alot of Everything is Everything

[avacadodance]

This is how music should be, made to make you feel happy ^_^

[BriiJorable]

@avacadodance idk their music makes me sad but i still love them!!

[rayraygottago]

@avacadodance I second this statement!

[calaberman]

@avacadodance #lol

[thefemiuzboy]

@avacadodance yeahh

iam mexican and you!!

[Thelxiapeia]

@avacadodance I think music should convey all emotions. But I also enjoy a good (a truly good) happy song.

[lauramoodyy]

This was the first song I ever heard from Phoenix... I still adore it!

Believe it or not, I actually found them buy searching "Phoenix" into myspace music to see if the name was taken when I was looking for a name for a band :)

Great minds! haha nah, but I wish my mind was as great as theirs, then I'd be producing amaizng music!

[doggytown123]

@lauramoodyy u can still make amazing music even if your just a small band ^_^ :D

[lauramoodyy]

doggytown123, haha well fingers crossed this one-lady band can make amazing music like this eventually :)

[zero0atsurabi]

@lauramoodyy iheard them in a cemercial for a car and again on jango

[novanine9]

@lauramoodyy - Great story. YOU SHOULD GO WITH THE BAND NAME:

VENUS LITE

As an offshoot of Pheonix / instead of Phoenix lite

kinda like Buck Cherry

THEN...YOU'D HAVE A KILLER STORY...AND I'D BE IN IT FOREVER!

I'm a recording artist, myself.

check it out an let me know what you think, out there!

[RockTheMoat]

Yeah they have a drummer and I think a keyboard player who just tour with them but aren't official members. Not sure why.

[LordPariah]

The drummer is Thomas Hedlund. He's like an extra member.

[Halomovies136]

BEST SONG

[EverLong1995]

Phoenix is so awesome I'm sad when there songs are over lol

[o0Spunkymonkey0o]

Video+Music= Awesome

[elsanto7]

nice video...

[jaimemusique99]

the best part is between 1:51- 1:59

phoenix makes me soo happy

[acient123harrypotter]

u and me both :)

[doggytown123]

this video reminds me of white stripes "hardest button to button" where they use pictures instead of a full-length video. Music is alright, over all awesome 5/5

[cpassos0189]

how i love paris..

listenning to them make it better

[forcemajeur08]

This is the first song of Phoenix that got me hooked to them. But now my favorite is too young.

[comadrejaasesina]

genial el video eh

[o0Spunkymonkey0o]

This video was well put together.

I like it.

[L7iM]

I love this video.
