Lucid Dreams Album Version- Franz Ferdinand

[19STU84]

Crank the ending of this song up when your in your car. Sounds awesome.

[TreKaufPL]

from 4.40 should be its own song

[TreKaufPL]

ITS SO SICK from 4.44 , CAN IT BE MORE SICK?!

[Luanav1988]

Lucid dreams were cool back in 2004. My ears bleed now when those hypster kids come talking about becuase of this song. Linklater was the gate, kid. Yes, this is an awful comment, I got to deliver desdain sometimes too.

[MrCardinalzboy]

in the begining it sounds like john lennon

[MissUmiLove]

Franz Ferdinand is the epitome of cool.

[shanetm]

The end of this song is an eargasm

[headbandfrenzy]

Weirdest thing.. so I just started listening to this band again today after several years and I was google-ing how to induce lucid dreams, and this song popped up. Weirdest coincidence. I had no idea they even had a song called this. I hope I dream about them tonight. :)

[TXONMI]

@maxtube82  guau

[Matthack50]

LOL! coincidence xD

my day:

my history teacher was telling about the WO1 , that the murder on frans ferdinant was a trigger for the WO1.

Came home , and searched for lucid dreaming :S

and found this xD

[Zimminimal]

@Matthack50 thats awesome man :D

[bsk935210]

Love both versions, but wow, did this one grow on me or what? Perfection.

[OmfgItsLeon]

4:42 till end <3

[weirdoneno]

I can't stop my whole body from shakin shakin shakin shakin

[MatthewGamonal]

most underrated band EVAR!!

[Vicioushappyface]

@MatthewGamonal Ain't right mate

[TheSteelexpresso]

yes, alex is hot and id go Michael for him and fuck the single version mkay

[TheSteelexpresso]

the original bothers me. this techno bomb is exactly what im looking for and im slowly loving the Tonight album more than the others

[Bonidex]

I never felt what this song makes with my head. Just put the earphones and you'll fly...

[qkimat]

@amsf614 This makes you gay, doesn't it?

[brutonello92]

from 0:30 on, omg

[KeithKurt00]

8 people have no soul 

[tyklug2013]

in my opinion, this version sucks... definitely not as good as the single version... I think people just like it cause of the solos. But the chorus just sounds so god awful!!

[rikusshadow56]

Maybe you're supposed to listen to the crazy electronic sounds while you sleep, and it will help induce a lucid dream, similar to binaural beats. Has anyone tried this?

[rawrgasaurus]

4:45 bass synth solo. I came.

[emeraldas1984]

WHOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Trop bonne cette version!!!!!

Exit celle du concert!!! ;-)

[MsJunkerMan]

id make a comment on how amazing 4.44 is but a bunch of people beat me to it.. oh wait, did it anyway.

[yesterdaywasretro]

4.44 is my favorite number since now.

i'm defintly a lucid dreamer♥

[MrBubbaloo]

i wish i could loop 4:44 til the end and have it play over and over in my head for the rest of my life

[1986Kreuzberg]

@MrBubbaloo The same mate !

[Jeepers737]

Es mejor el Sexo con esta cancion Yeahh!!!!!

[frembo1]

4:44 O_o

[deideikunblueeyez]

When I first heard it on the radio it sounded like this. Nothing. I like the -old- version better :(

[rblofthescrdhrt]

@deideikunblueeyez

same here

watch?v=__p_MbzZ6LE

[DrDemel]

OhmyGOd fucking high

Trip,

[minivampirot]

Try Black Strobe

[Quilombazo]

I would love to hear this song as if for the first time.

[alankat1690]

does anyone know of any other songs that sound lik the last 3 minutes of this one?

[ilobdell]

@alankat1690 The artists Deadmau5 and  Pendulum are a great place to start.

[NeuroProctologist]

@ilobdell I took the time to check both those out and was rather disappointed :(

[ilobdell]

@NeuroProctologist Yeah they are not exactly trance but they are still great techno artists. I've learned since then and I would now recommend Armin van Buuren's State of Trance to get you into the world of trance.

[thedigitaldamned]

@alankat1690 look for artists like assemblage 23, mesh , northborn, and seabound.

[alankat1690]

@thedigitaldamned cheers

[alyssaM09]

@alankat1690 try Justice. :D

[digitalchrissy1]

@alankat1690 I'm in the same boattttt~ lol my ears crave that phat beat~

[iamthebyron]

@alankat1690 -- Try looking up a Swedish band called The Knife.

[anonymousdev1l]

The last 3 minutes are the best part =)

[VictoryAsIAm]

Those last three minutes sounded absolutely INCREDIBLE on my new extra-bass headphones.... wow O.O

[evandrake131]

wow... well... i have been more dissapointed before but still... wow O_O

[bmwx3turbo]

@evandrake131 you're disappointed? Come on this song is AWESOME along with the rest of their amazing songs.

[evandrake131]

@bmwx3turbo its not the song its the version of the song it sounds like they autotuned the hell outof it at the beggining

[ps1kx]

It’s a shame they put this one in Rock Band rather than the single version. At least they cut the last 3 horrible minutes

[PunkSkaterr]

this song on ecstasy is amazing! and on acid and on shrooms and sober

[NeuroProctologist]

@PunkSkaterr Quite a significant discovery. Thank you for enlightening us all by publishing your findings!

[SuperMariofB]

4:50 - 7:57 : Now THATS a synthesizer!

[PenguinKowalski]

4:40 - 7:57 made my head messed up, but in a good way.

[gamerkid56]

I can listen to this for hours :)

[bluexdaffodil]

God, this is an AMAZING song!

[mitchqqqqqq]

4:50 and above, that all that matters

[victiln666]

4:40 - 7:57 - my favourite part. It blows your head.

[MissKinkyDinky]

excellente!

[lukewarneke]

I find it hilarious the amount of people who have commented on listening to this blazed. Good men. I'm not even a big fan of Franz Ferdinand but the ending to this is just spectacular.

[somekindadifferent]

with so much LOVE

[Dunderhead36]

my favorite FF song

[voronitskiy]

tfggh

[rhuel100]

When I heard this song on Madden 09 I was like "WOW"

[WeGotFunNGames]

I prefer the chorus from the other version, this one is good, though

[hdruktenis]

love franz ferdinand.

[luckyhat4]

Much better than the single, but the ending (best part, imo) has superior bass on the actual record. 's a bit fuzzed out here. :(

[LAMFi1ms]

This version is beast

[dancetunes2008]

Poor Youtube quality, straight from the CD its just MADNESS!!!!!!!

[Neganaso]

spettacolo, soprattutto dove cambia...!

[nagica69]

This is a masterpiece! The best song from this album. ... and the second part from 4:45: SOOO BRUUUTE!!!!!

[dangleberry9628]

This song is nuts when you're stoned.

[pscicopatico4]

cazzo doveva suonare più rock questa canzone

[daedley]

the end of this song makes me want to rave hardcore. I turn the turbo bass all the way up for that part. It's such a great song, It's an explosion of sound. Sonic boom

[jatahaxe]

RIght at 4:43 is where it gets good.

[opendegladen]

Last night, i was high and listened to this song... Men was it awesome!!!

[NZartfuldando]

Fuckin amazing to get high to.

[xaviermoyssen]

no way, demo version is way better

[Khordajj]

"THERE IS NO- I DREAM A NATION OF YOUUUU" It's bullshit. They just cut good bits out of the better song and filled it with horse shit.

[thealmassi1]

i like the other version better......

[fedarkbp]

I'd love to hear this song as the first time I did it.

[ASFiodor93]

hell yeah!

[sharhitha]

eeenneeeeerrrggyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fernsehenpfanger]

Lucid Dreams- is my favourite song of Franz Ferdinand!!!

[TiLLiMiLLitrYAm]

Luciiiid dreeeaaaams...Nice%)

FFForever)

[caniac92]

3:25-end is win

[nickmaneify]

check out guidetoluciddreaming. com for a book on lucid dreaming

[dozer602]

single is the way to go

[ssickgirl]

amazing

[epic118]

Better than single version - I own the album version and I love it!

[aninhafree]

better ;)

[RatchetClank93]

6:42 I love how the different layers are slowly synchronizing from here on!

[gogolplex74]

definitely better than single version

[dariotten]

@gogolplex74 really really much better and different

[wildboyppp]

Its like i know what is happenin but the second me was doin something else ! awesome!

[daedley]

wow it's like my mind and soul go into a trance and can't control them anymore. So amazing, it's unbelievable, If I had lucid dreams I bet it would be exactly like this. I want to lucid dream, and trip out to this song in it.

[inali3]

awesome, from beginning to end

[johnxlennonxfan]

I <333 this song!!!! Especially near the end.

[LittleAngel2186]

that song is just brilliant

[skywalker74]

Best band of our time.

[pupskopf]

this songs gives my soul an orgasm

[acuset]

yes.....it`s the Alex effect.....

[pupskopf]

oh my, this is brilliant

[glaceauu]

this song blooows my mind :)

[PaRaMoReBeAtLe3]

one of the best on the new soundtrack!!!!!!

[1983alp]

The drums sound a bit like Adam and the Ants.

[RichnerDK]

I prefere the other version ^^

[tecwolfen]

I woke w/dreams of lucid dreams ;3

[frayedsocks]

wings from lucid dreams

[thatdudemush]

dude, 4:48 onward rocks! awesome bass

[Lazokaen]

That's the Polyvoks synthesizer mate. Awesome piece of kit that it is!

[frayedsocks]

that's my very favoritist part

[britdemmen]

progressive and alternative. could I ask for more?

[ldave16l]

It's a good song, but it's definately not progressive.

[rockwellumrocks2]

It is progressive...

from 0:00-4:43 it isn't THAT progressive but from 4:44 onwards it is awesomely progressive.

[CpqStars]

other versions way berterr

[dougiedoors]

does anybody realise the point of this song???

This is about lucid dreams where you are in an awakened state dreaming...but you have control of your dreams.

These kind of dreams make you question reality. and how real the world is around us....

[tohearyourecho]

Lurid Smiles

[tecwolfen]

Good man.

[ele1508]

hey hey hey, so what?

just live it like the dream it is :)

[MrStubenhocker]

Best song on the album :D

[Almesha13]

yep!

[timegirl95]

So much better than the other version of this song, I LOVE IT!!

[letsbeamazeing]

One of my favorite songs from this album

I'll dream a nation of you

[puggy2]

this was crazy at bumbershoot! it seemed to go on forever. felt like 10 minutes. totally agree with GtiDriver1122 it was by far the best of the night

[ScottishBlancmange]

I just wished they used more in the song the bit that starts at 2:43 .

[Montcap4]

spettacolare!! la 2° parte è spakkiosissima!!!!!!

STUPEFACENTE!!!!!

[007007008plp]

This song is orgasmic especially the 2nd half.....

[googlekid16]

listen to the ending of this when yer baked as shit!!

[JessicaSan]

The best ending EVER in live, with this song. Wow. Just WOE.

[GtiDriver1122]

Just saw this live at Bumbershoot, best song of the night.

[toadeat]

same

[davidsimpsoon]

Attended the show too. It was definitly the best song. Loved the techno beat.

[abc123milk]

they played this at bumbershoot? i wasnt paying any attention but i personally thought take me out was better.

[stuartjmacd]

i think this song is sooooo much better live! i heard it first a T.I.T.P before i heard it on the album!!

[gutsonfire]

I'm seeing them live soon, gonna mosh SO HARD at the techno part (well throughout the whole concert actually)

[xKinseh]

mosh to Franz Ferdinand? Why?

[gutsonfire]

Because of the awesomeness, and because they are a very moshable band.

[xKinseh]

Oh, I seem to associate Moshing with Metal bands.

[whizkid515]

4:43-on was bliss.

[RB8823]

best song ever

[maksimm1]

agree!

[stanzabanaza]

I love the the other version SO MUCH. At first, I didn't like it, but then I listened to it again... and again... <3 Franzzzz

Gotta love both versions

[Ailzface2606]

00TrissMerigold00

I agree with you! They laughed at Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody becaus eit was too long it became No.1. Jesus of Suburbia is at least 13 mins long, that's a good song, so 7.56 mins ain't that bad, is it?

[pudsey123]

this song sounds so good through headphones

[jovtheamazing]

this!

i'm shaking my booty to this through headphones!

[MissPetrov]

They were amazing at T in the Park - I love them!! New album is good

[leaf71]

wait for it. wait for it.

yeah, there it is.

beautiful

[icollectcoconuts]

i saw them live in may, SO GOOD.

[feathergirl3]

They were really good at T in the Park. Especially this song.

[francescocorleone]

the second half is the best!!

[cactusjack26]

amen to that

[00TrissMerigold00]

Just try to be a little more open-minded. There's no point in puttin Franz Ferdinand (as any other band) into a single category. The most revolutionary musicians are those who experimented. And there's nothing wrong in mixing different genres. I personally found this song awesome, especially in this version. For those who say "it's too long".. well. you don't deserve further comments.

[nancypelu1]

ajá, todo iba bien hasta 4:35 ...

[ajuk1]

Is there a remix of this using the second half of the song?

[davidsan01]

you mean the good half? dont know.

[schwixol]

we're workin on it.

[derrynator]

i wonder if they actually know about lucid dreams? they probably do but do they lucid dream?

[Sivylla]

I was wondering about the same thing :)

[D4rkCr0wn]

I think this is better then the normal version but the part after 4: 35 or so just didn't have to be there. I don't know what the writer ment with that part but it doesn't fit the rest of the song.

[jamesdin2]

it's class. it shows that franz ferdinand can go in musical directions other than just general indie rock that everyone expects them to put out.

[crackattack85]

I love Franz Ferdinand, but they're isn't a thing indie about them. They're a dance rock band, pure and simple. They're closer to the Brothers Johnson and the Bee Gees then Belle and Sebastien and Bright Eyes.

[Megrak]

I heard the short version first o.o

[toshekk]

Is there a chance Lucid dreams (this version) to be the next Franz video ?

I like that song so much (well, until 4:44 for me), it`s one of their most brilliant tracks

[PaperP1ate]

I adore this version because the coda of the song is so unashamedly 1980's synth-pop.

[fiendeBass]

The feel of it, and the synth-snare beat is very 80's.. but by the end, you're left with sampling production that sounds much more modern.. very cool indeed

[HooHeeHaHa]

Nah

[tacofagot]

i like the longer version because for for one i cant get enough franz and the ending part is awesome

[suim2007]

I can never listen to this song in its entirety! Agh...Lucky the rest of the album didn't suffer from the "Be Here Now" complex.

[riggedarcade]

what is "Be Here Now"? i dont know what your smokin but this band and ALL of their songs are the shit. including this one.

[Razium]

Naa man this isnt their "best" song, whats best means, but they have some real nice rthyms and feels, if u cant see that well i feel sorry for u

[suim2007]

I have all of their albums, and I'm merely saying that this song lingers a bit for my taste. And if you don't know what Be Here Now is, you really don't have the right to have an opinion of Brit rock. You want to listen to an epic that doesn't feel long, listen to Champagne Supernova, then you'll see what a true epic is.
