Francis and the Lights - Darling, It's Alright

[theblahs]

wut the fuck is this shit? where have I been on this shit?

[JunkTheGreat]

Very good work!



[FrostedPingu]

The dancing was soo cooool :D!

[danpeak]

vocal and musical shades of Peter Gabriel to my ears

[theblahs]

@danpeak yeah i was about to comment saying exactly this.

[markdown01]

In a better world, this would have been # 1 on Billboard.

[mtvm]

i totally dislike this song and dont even know how i got here

[stateofmind111]

i so lov e you darling darling it's alright, if u wanna break down and cry, it's alright!

[wildmaryanz]

I wanna dance like that when I grow up!!



[316aussieboy]

oh damn

[instanthorror]

at 1:53, magic happens

[radioshackpopcorn]

this director is a fucking genius

[WolfnArmour]

What style of dancing is that? Who do I have to pay to learn those moves?

[anarchy295]

anyone know the piano chords?

[max15power]

@anarchy295 I want to know them too! Especially those in the first 30 seconds...

[gaiacrimsonfairy]

It sucks so bad it sucks, I had to deal with shit a hour to get to La Roux TT^TT it was worth the ear shattering pain to hear the amazing voice of la roux

[luffyluvybooby]

@gaiacrimsonfairy eat a dick

[gaiacrimsonfairy]

@luffyluvybooby

because I hate a shitty band

XD yeah your a winner

[gaiacrimsonfairy]

@luffyluvybooby

yes you convince me with every comment, that you are a dick and that i should eat you via cutting your face off with a carving knife

[gaiacrimsonfairy]

@luffyluvybooby

c: I don't want to

[gaiacrimsonfairy]

@luffyluvybooby

it gets more creative every time

[effelarr]

Makes me want to dance.

[j2n]

"I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone."

[CoreyNejati]

Francis is the MAN!. I saw him open for la roux and it was awesome.  Definitely doesn't get enough credit. Either way the Music ROCKS.

If you are in the mood. Have a look at some of our music:

THE HURT LOCKER. by: NEJATI

it's not starlight but it's has heart.

[brianrallen]

Genius. Food for The Brain. Yum fucking yum!

[brianrallen]

Genius. Food for The Brain. Yum fucking yum!

[twinstarg]

Love! This band/dude is hot!! Love the voice, moves (whoa! didn't see that coming) and looks (so much cuter in person). Sorry to the hater below but I'm pretty sure we'll be hearing a lot more of francis!

[sudokuwkroku]

nice voice dude

[HotPocketsBoy]

I NEED MORE MUSIC FROM YOU GUYS HURRY UP!

[Razor195T]

1:53 is beast ^_^

[Chewbaccenstein]

THUMBS UP IF FRANCES AND THE LIGHTS ARE THE MOST UNDERRATED GROUP OUT RIGHT NOW

[djangocybele]

this sucks. his gyrations are a poor imitation of dancing, and as for his voice, haven't we heard that from someone in the '80s?

[undomiel152003]

@djangocybele Steve Whinwood (from Cream). So what, most new singers sound like someone in the past if you really care to listen to almost all bands. If they do their own stuff, and do not try to mimic the way they intone words and chord changes (might need someone that knows about singing to state what it really is called) then power to them. Lol.

[lynnfamily4]

@undomiel152003 Ahh you are SO RIGHT about the Steve Winwood comparison. It's been driving me nuts trying to figure out who he sounds like.

[Illadelphism]

@djangocybele Who made you a judge? What the hell do you know about dancing and music? I don't see any videos of you on your channel singing or dancing. Your negativity is truly pathetic.

[TheJspann]

damn he can dance

[lamidea]

serious shapes being thrown right there. i am in love.

[beyondblues]

@lamidea serious shapes. damn right.

[Daftchild89]

my favorite album right now. ;)

[arijitanywhere]

Great stuff great vid

[xW4RNERx]

such a good dancer

[firesong888]

good dancin

[ktfright]

Fuck Yeah.

[ldfelipe]

put some parachute pants on him and call it the Hammer Time dance

[EternallyRecurring]

@ldfelipe But he goes from Hammertime into Rick Astley's moves. Brilliant mash-up. He looks like Lyle Lovett.

[sGreyful]

@EternallyRecurring wow your 2 right about this. lmao

[RoberTastic]

peter gabriel 2.0

[EternallyRecurring]

@RoberTastic Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins had a baby in outerspace and named him Francis. These guys rocked Jimmy Kimmel Live. His dance moves look like Kramer opening Seinfelds apartment door.

[ohyeah2034]

@EternallyRecurring lmao about kramer they will be big if peope get taste.....and dont hate their life

[sGreyful]

@EternallyRecurring kramer opening seinfelds door....that' great

[xAnswerTo1984Is1776x]

@sGreyful lol



[Movieman47]

@RoberTastic i concur

[vibarco]

Did anyone has noticed is a genius? I wish i could be in this production videos.

[vibarco]

Did anyone has noticed is a genius?

[justynfromnz]

there are only good things happening in this video.

[jimmyjazz24]

I like women but his dance moves could turn me gay for about 2 minutes.

[omilola]

@jimmyjazz24  very very funny.

[jimmyjazz24]

I like women but his dance moves could turn me gay for about 2 minutes.

[RetroLuv04]

@jimmyjazz24 hehe

[herpface]

They need to make more music videos, they're toooooooooo good.

[Nathansavin]

Do you like Phil Collins?

I have two ears and a heart, don't I?

[sgerianda]

his voice...like peter gabriel

[shadowphlare]

@sgerianda

mixed with bruce hornsby

[pokinoiombra]

Oh hey, my romantic side came out to watch this video. I was wondering where it went.

[dervishlongboarder]

the dance is way too cool

[arends9]

M.C. Hammer can't tell my man Francis not a damn thang!

[jumperleads]

Man, there is so much win in this video! The fact that most of the time the band is playing in darkness continues to blow my mind. If these guys don't stick around and become a household name, i'll eat my goddamned gym shoes.

[EgoTrippersUnite]

I'm pretty much feeling like he's the coolest kid on the Earth right now.

[13vlee]

he opened up for mgmt on august 17th and i wanted to find who this guy was because of his dancing at 2:00 lol

[touchandgod]

Motherfucker goes OFF.

[dervishlongboarder]

@touchandgod lol

[Dmayhem84]

i went to see drake april 14th and this dude opened and completely killed my buzz i wanted my money back.

[touchandgod]

Want your taste with it?

[kamachgr]

I am in awe of the cleverness of this video. Creative and brilliantly executed! Whether you like the music or not, you have to admire the artistic genious in this videos design! Bravo to all involved!

[bonepaper]

so there ARE still people out there making real music, in the midst of all the horrible, disposable shit that calls itself music now. i feel like dancing.

[spinnever]

just fucking brilliant

[mlant]

I usually hate when people do this, but in this case it's true.

The 3 people who disliked this have no damn soul or taste.

If you hit the thumbs down by mistake, I apologize.

[ujas2]

zZZzzzZzzz

[TheMetamerican]

totally perfect music video. Simple, effective, consistent, and original while somehow timeless. Jake Schreier for president, Francis for minister of culture!

[Jah044445]

Art is coming back to music again...by George, it is.

[angiericketts92]

Totally obsessed. Love this song, and his dance moves are divine. I love how he runs to his mark with the flashlight right before full-on boogie mode.

"If I wanna breakdown and cry for the last time in my life..."

This song helped me get through a heart attack and some rough crap. Love you, Francis!

[angiericketts92]

"If I wanna breakdown and cry for the last time in my life..."

[SarahElizWhitmore]

I love how he progresses from a sort of spastic dance to a smooth groove at the end. Love it!

[wilfrej]

who said the 90's were back?

[funtimeadventures]

this is my first exposure to francis and the light and boy are my arms tired

[oswald31]

Rick Astley would be jealous of the dance moves at 1:51

[OwenFernau]

SUCH FIRE! GET WITH THE MOVEMENT BABY! I SEE YOU SAUL, MAKING MOVES BRAH, FROM BAY LIFE TO THIS... YOU GOT RANGE!

[AmorBravo]

I love this fuckin shit.. on repeat... on fire!

[mynameisjongreen]

[musashinuyens]

I think I contributed half of the views for this video.

[touchandgod]

Smooth, best new take on the crooner I've seen in forever.

[countchunkula]

I saw them open for Drake, really good stuff.

[gogetlifted]

@countchunkula slope day?

[Maryllynch]

@countchunkula Oh you too? They were really awesome, but the crowd at ISU was pretty restless so they got booed, I thought they were pretty good!

[idoknowyouknow]

He dances like I do haha! :)

[LEC57]

2 people aren't alright...

[MightyChewbacca666]

[Avecess]

Visually expressive music, simply brilliant.

[mymarty23]

[R0N1N86]

[isabella4479]

[iNiCY33]

[mannyweapons]

[thehockstra]

[fimmelgrl]

this video needs 15 million views.

[AmandaK531]

Saw them open for La Roux last night, love them now!

[MrKyleSchick]

these chodes opened for la roux. no disrespect but i hated them. almost left the front row to go get a drink and see if i could come back when they left

[TheAudioMedium1]

@7THEMIKE2FILES7 Haha not to sound like a dick but it's 2010. You really should know of multiple places where you can download music by now.

[brobsdaman]

he has a really good voice

[SOlivier18]

Videos like this should get sooo much more airtime than they do!

[saraphonic]

is that the New Kids On The Block dance?

[Aprilstrum05]

@saraphonic IT so looked like their dance lol

[gam1ller]

Great tune...looking forward to hearing more...nice dance interlude!!!

[ypesh]

he produced Karaoke for Drake. So talented....love it wen rock and rnb crossova

[NoiseHorse]

The lead singer sounds like peter gabriel

[basehead617]

@NoiseHorse sure does.. a bit better, maybe

[brothaman007]

The worst thing about this video, is that it was made in 2010.

The days of all video shows are gone. This is the kinda video where the song is plenty good, but the video is so brilliantly done, it would be up there with Bassment Jaxx "Wheres your head at" or Daft Punk's "Around the world". This is not going to get the play that it should.

I put this video in my "things that make me happy" file

[hoorayforhipppos]

I love this song. Good music is never out of style.

[funkyproductionsbap]

just amazing! i love his attitude with everything, just so darn funky......lol

[louwano]

this is a huge breakout vid you have it all keep it going thanks

[TheJLWood]

The most interesting and fresh musical act in the world

[blindedbullet]

i feel personally responsible for the growth of fans.

[Miraclemunkee]

that's a hell of a production! awesome job guys!

[countchunkula]

Somebody please make a GIF of him dancing lol.

[MrsSmithWayStump]

I remember this when I heard it live.

They are so amazing!

Awesome.

[frankbombs]

[spav95]

Saw you open for MGMT at Radio City. You guys are great man.

[mcarrollfilms]

I am in love with this video. Just can't get over how awesome it is...

[EgoTrippersUnite]

Brilliant. I envy this video.

[theavsfan]

I saw them at the OVO Festival in Toronto. Amazing performance, I just wish they had played this.

[foxy654]

saw them open up for Drake last night in Toronto! They were amazzzzzzzzzzing ! keep it coming boys :D

[crazyrockdevil]

Does anyone if these guys are playing in Chicago soon? I'd love to see them up here.

[coop2391]

@crazyrockdevil

they opened for MGMT at HOB last night

[crazyrockdevil]

@coop2391 don't tell me such lies. now i must cry myself to sleep.

[ultrafelicity]

@crazyrockdevil I heard they already played at the Subterranean. Just a little while ago. Hopefully, he'll be back soon.

[crazyrockdevil]

@ultrafelicity Well since I "wanna break down and cry, it's alright". :]

[kevwd123]

SO sweet.

[penkwin]

I can't believe how good this is.

[lucky00360]

Francis and the Lights are playing with MGMT and Awolnation for the Lollapalooza/ Dare 2 Dream aftershow on Aug 6th! Thats such a great lineup!

[lucky00360]

[bohnjello]

saw you guys in Vancouver, opening for Drake. Awesome.

[carlsthing]

does anyone have a torrent for this album

[evilpacman1742]

@carlsthing Just use mediafire.

[carlsthing]

@evilpacman1742 i could only find one song "Cant Tell Me Nothing" kanye cover

[Jissofly]

saw them with MGMT it fuckin rocked

[Bronwen68]

Wow...I am stunned. Someone told me to watch this, and watch carefully at 1:53. Firs t I got hooked because he sounds a lot like Peter Gabriel, then I liked the music, but then the dancing blew my mind. I've watched that segment repeatedly. I think I'm in love with all of it, and with them.

[evilpacman1742]

I can't stop coming to this video and going straight to 1:53. I've watched that 16 seconds of dancing at least 20 times today.

[PhantomWarlock]

they opened up for mgmt. was sickk

[nerdStarwars]

this guy is my new hero

[jack650]

saw them open for MGMT yestarday as well, i thought they were very good and energetic :D the singers dance moves are awesome

[JayGMark]

I just saw them yesterday opening up for MGMT. They're awesome and I think I'm pregnant now from his dance moves.

[DesertSongBird]

you guys were SOO awesome opening up for MGMT!! cant wait to hear more great songs.

[jessxrevenge]

This guy was amazing on Sunday! Everyone loved him! :D

[danisaurus27]

Saw them open for MGMT in San Diego. The lead singer is honestly the best dancer ever. They're so much better live.

[jbro1313]

peter gabriel wants his style back.

[meksikositi]

Ismaelsobek is right : It's OK, until he starts dancing at the end. Then it's fantastic. !!!

GREAT ARTIST ! GREAT SONG ! GREAT VIDEO !!

HIS GONA RULE THE WORLD!!! :)))

[eviljazz666]

Omg seen Sunday night with MGMT and it was an awesome show, Kicked ass!

[acutellamaphobia]

these guys do a wicked live show. francis was dancing all over the place like a madman. DEFINITELY go see them, even if you're not a big fan they are worth it just for the stage presence.

[Dejaydev]

i saw these guys at fox theater in pomona, they opened for MGMT.god... i orgasmed when i heard their music. he made everyone in the audience feel his energy, but i felt it more since i'm the band's biggest fan

[littlemykey3000]

@Dejaydev

i agree. he and his band were very entertaining.

definitely was better than having to listen to helios creed.

not that helios creed sucks, but he was torturing everybody that night by killing our eardrums.

[Dejaydev]

@littlemykey3000 nah... i think helios creed really did suck XD

all 4 songs sounded exactly the same except he decided to sing in some a lil more than others

[littlemykey3000]

@Dejaydev

i looked at some videos of helios creed's music and he's not bad.

but for some reason it just sucked in that theater.

his band wasn't in the right place that night.

whatever, francis and mgmt made the night worthwhile.
