Franz Ferdinand - Auf Achse

[vlcekfil]

that awkward moment when auf achse tells a story of your life...

[angrym0nkeysh0w]

This song is so underrated!

[garfields33]

Jeez.. It's just great song. And we can all hear what he says. You don't have to type it in the commentary..

[ninjaflytipper]

Just makes sense

[zestytoaster]

That bit about spelling it "Auf Asche" is interesting

[kiks740]

where did all the comments disappear?

[Matt412100]

Stop posting quotes stupid emos

[GreenSnowleaf]

@Matt412100 Why is your comment one of the top comments, just shut up you fucking dick, stop trying to get emo's down, fucking racist.

[lvaleiron]

@GreenSnowleaf emo is not a race -_-... maybe hater or intolerant but not racist. BTW, he should shut his fucking mouth not dick =P

[GreenSnowleaf]

@lvaleiron First, I never said emo's are a race, second, okay you're right about the hater thingy. Second, I said "Shut up You fucking dick." Not "Shut up you're fucking dick.".

[GBarros2010]

@GreenSnowleaf it's your not you're. and yeah, he really is a hater, but I can't blame him for not wanting to see emo quotes in a indie song. either you get back to tumblr or go see a my chemical romance song

[Holymother3021]

"Now you wish she'd never come back here again "

[Leideclima]

Thinking of your sins, I die thinking how you'd let them touch you :\

[CabraaT]

I found this song so easy to relate in my situation that I just had to burst out laughing. Franz Ferdinand found a way to make me see the silver lining.

[KTheViper]

siento esta cancion

[rotor04stav]

круто!балдею с этих парней с 2004 года...

[manixela1221]

Love this since I was 12 and 11years later, still have the album in my car, right next to THE STROKES!!!! Great mix, well for me...

[Moto200Alt]

@manixela1221 you sure? this album is only 7 years old.

[MouseCheese2010]

@manixela1221 this album came out in 2004.. even the band (formed in 2002) is only about 9 years old.. :|

[brettka]

@manixela1221 I like Franz Ferdinand better. Strokes is famous I think because they are American.

[SweetSoulDevil]

I love the bass line and this song is so amazing!!

[AzariaViviana]

i dont get the title xD

[wilysmachine]

@AzariaViviana It's german for "The Ashes".

It's your opinion on what relevance that has with the song.

[wilysmachine]

@wilysmachine @AzariaViviana

Whoops. Never mind. I should read more. XP

[AzariaViviana]

@wilysmachine

in german its actually a proverb. it means having a troubled mind, constantly roaming around consrantly push yourself. but i still dont get the relevance. but i realized when franz ferdinand sing german it mostly makes no sense. i love it :D

[TheRealScarr]

@wilysmachine Actually it's German for "On The Road". Ashes is Asche, as in "Asche Zu Asche, Und Staub Zu Staub".

[wilysmachine]

@TheRealScarr I don't speak German, hence the mix-up. :P

[deadmik3]

:(

[Nature9000]

@Kanideo256 Yeah, I attribute this song to my friend Nicole, who I see as more than friends, but accept as nothing will happen. The 'come back here' part in my mind represents those feelings for her coming back to my head.

[Kanideo256]

You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you She's not so special so look what you've done, boy She's not so special so look what you've done, boy Now you wish she'd never come back here again Oh, never come back here again... Beautiful.

[mrpmosh91]

You see her, you can´t touch her

You hear her, you can´t hold her

You want her, you can´t have her

You want to, but she won´t let you :(

[MikeH1986MikeH]

I listen to this song every time I smear shit on my face

[8PlanA]

And now I'm nailed above you, gushing from my side

It's with your sins that you have killed me

Thinking of your sins I die

Thinking how you'd let them touch you

How you'd never realise

That I'm ripped in half, forsaken

Knowing never will I rise

[mamabear1753]

Everyones taking the mick cos of that one comment... love it

[willispro]

@alexrich20 when i was 1 i went to a chase and status concert and mc rage was like wtf is that a 1 year old? i was the youngest and only 1 year old there and that was only 8 months ago

[LSxRave]

[PhoebeMJPrince]

[ALTERNATECHAOS]

[AsiaFanNR1]

He's crying on the picture because the song is just.. SO... SAD!!

[jayhawks25]

When I was 18, I went to a Paul Simon concert and people around me were like "wtf, theres an 18 year old here!" I was the youngest person there, and that was like 2 years ago lol

[will260100]

i haven't faced a break up but when i do this shall be the first song I'll listened to

[AlexRich20]

When I was 18, I went to a u2 concert and the guy next to me was like *wtf is that an 18 year old??* I was the only 18 year old and only guy there, that was only like 2 months ago. lol

[CalienteClover]

@AlexRich20 I went to a U2 concert 2 months ago too.... Copy cat lol

[werefoxgirlie]

when i was like, 10 my dad took me to their concert in Dallas and the base player was looking at me like, *wtf, is that a 10 yr old??* I was the youngest and only girl there^^ that was only like 2 years ago lol

[kyle10124]

@werefoxgirlie This is a shit story

[vanessaLoveeful]

[crookedfinger13]

I am the Official Editor for all of YouTub. 

[AnimeWatcher24]

Wow, i dont even listen to Franz Ferdinand that much, but this is one of my favorite songs. =)

[TheBoyFromSchool]

Awesome track.

I can't believe the top comment in this video is regarding grammar.

[TheMegaPhenomenon]

psh. I'm going through this now. I see her, and I do touch her, she has held me. But we're friends. and she's taken. and it's cute, their relationship I mean. but damn how it hurts to not be with her.

[tayluvscoldplay]

First picture = Alex Kapranos' jizz face

[fluxu5]

Their BEST!

[crazycat9972]

love this song :D

[lynchdj]

I just listened to this song and I thought Borat! lol

[andreluizrocha92]

Is it just me or anyone else thinks that this song talks about a rape?

[seba13able]

@andreluizrocha92  i think earlier about rejection ;-D

[jumbofatty1]

i see her in the halls, the way she taunts the guyz. her hair swaying back and fourth, and all the time i see her with "him" i ask: " why not me?"..

[Plooontey]

@jumbofatty1 It might have something to do with the fact that your username is "jumbofatty1", and you write comments like this on Youtube. Or, maybe she just doesn't like you. You know, not everything has to be the way you want it to be.

[jumbofatty1]

@Plooontey LETS FIGHT BITCH

[Plooontey]

@jumbofatty1 No need to get so serious over a simple reply. I wasn't even trying to be rude. I was just pointing out valid facts that would generally make people think less of you. Besides, it's not like I'm much better. I like someone but I'm too dumb to do anything about it.

[M3GAJUGZ]

sigh* ... tear*

[agentp420]

bangin song once again franzz

[deanofantastico]

[werefoxgirlie]

GREAT SONG say no to drugs, yes to franz ferdinand... and tacos

[natep1098]

Everyone has that person they wish they could tell their feelings to, everyone has that person they want to be loved by.

Some people make mistakes over that person.

This is an eternal message of that story.

[jamieball]

great song!

[wrestlerkane]

Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of my past. I was dating a wonderful girl who I was very happy with, but left her for a old fling. The old Fling no longer talks to me and I cant have my girl back.....it hurts sometimes but thats how it goes right?

[Harijukulover]

This song reminds me so much of Perks of Being a Wallflower, and to anyone who hasn't read you should. This is such a beautifully sad song.

Love Always,

Harijukulover

[SpairoAce]

@Harijukulover amazing book.

[Gennatural]

im reading all kinds of stories about boys who didnt told the girl they loved that they loved her. so i know this girl and i do all kinds of nice things with her, but as friends. so maybe i have to tell her i really "like" her. than, i will have good memories of this song (and feel happy in general) :)

[Quand9]

What does the tittle mean, i googled it and it said on axel

[mikeyb39]

@Quand9 Track History:

Auf Achse is a song about unrequited love by the band Franz Ferdinand, from the album Franz Ferdinand. "Auf Achse" literally means "on the axle" in German, a common metaphor for "on the road" and also the title of a 1980s TV series about truckers. It has also been stated that 'Auf Achse' was the first song written by Kapranos and McCarthy.

Please do read the description next time people.

[Quand9]

[tcsdef]

[Colegiance]

This song makes me think of my girlfriend Kelsey. I don't get to see her, I only get to text her and call her. It's making me sad, because of how much we love each other. I just think about her so much, and we make plans and her mom shoots them down, or my dad does. I don't know, I just love her.

[chv4life]

@Colegiance i know your pain bro.... i know how it felt to be in your situation

[25azss]

This song makes me feel a bit sad.

Makes me think of all the disappointments in love that i had.

Sometimes i think if i just screwed it all with something i said.

[turbopower87]

Auf Achse means "on the road". (In German)

[Bionic3333]

hm.. this song reminds me of a boy I knew in highschool. he has a good friend of mine, but it never went further than that, as I had a boyfriend (whom I still have and am in love with), he wished it did sometimes.I broke his heart I think. a couple of times.:S

[WurmD]

@Bionic3333

this song reminds me of a highschool i knew in highschool. It was a good school with a dumb kid with a crush on a hot broad. They were good friends, but it never went farther than that, she had a boyfriend. He wished it did. He was friendzoned and later "an heroed" himself

[BCoy2Pacman]

@WurmD That is so tragic sob(no sarcasm)

[Writtenjustice]

Aw dude, that sucks D:
