visualizations pre-Vevo 2,259,195

[angel16037]

OMG... those moves rocks my socks! ♥

[Astrayom]

Muy,muy,pero muy buena canción como muchas otras!! Sé que se les critica por su estilo a lo Joy Division o Morrissey pero en sí pudieron amalgamar esas y otras influencias como no se había visto hasta ahora.

[sarahgilbride]

ahahaaaaaaaaaaaa me and my best friend jam to this lmfao

[MGMTtime]

Johnny's dancing is adorable. :3

[APHEXSHAMAN]

anyone heard of "new order"?

[Kmichaeld92]

@mymusic121212 go away bieber. This is music in case you didn't realise.

[ineslovesthedrums]

[mymusic121212]

OMG ANOTHER LOAD OF 'INDIE' RUBBISH

[ksomiso]

PORK SE FUE EL OTRO INTEGRANTE??

[kennyken1997]

I love his awkward dance moves! :P

[grungebob31781]

Dances like Ian Curtis sans the epilepsy ...

[koalasandfries]

I'm amazed that such an amazing band can recieve so little views. What has the modern music industry come to!!

[JiggyJay30]

One of my favorite videos I totally love his moves haha

[MegaEmohippie]

god.! this band is fkn amazingg

[Cptheadstomp420]

screw conventional methods of entering a room.... ima go through the fuckin window 0_-

[chokorollful]

Anyone know the history of the song?

[matteolazazzera]

@chokorollful Jonny is the singer, his best friend is Jacob the guitarist on the left. Thi son talks about how Jonny would be sad without his best friend.

no one can live withou a best friend

[Cptheadstomp420]

@matteolazazzera then why does it say he died in the song?

[matteolazazzera]

@Cptheadstomp420 it is a metaphor..what do I feel if my best friend, Jacob, dies ?

why does he say ''when you're 23 and I am 25'' ? maybe beacuse Jonny when he was 25, he recorded his first LP Golden as Elkland, while Jacob, he was 23, played for Flashlight Party...they had created a band called Goat Explosion when they were very young, this band definetelly died when Jonny was 25..it is a theory

[Cptheadstomp420]

@matteolazazzera tacos taste wonderful

[ToolsnFire]

@chokorollful it's the first song jacob and jonny made as The Drums. They had an earlier draft of the song on synthesizer that sounded very different but had some of the basic structure of the final.

[GorillaaGodzilla]

Awwh, their jack-ups are the cutest thing!

[lildrummerboy22]

Check out my song "Island". Like The Drums, it's got a New Wave influence to it.

[tibbetts14]

The Hofner bass is a nice touch

[eddiethehead137]

Awsome!!!

[oriaanaaluuz]

LOS AMO♥

[sandy16ify]

[justchill134]

[InflictingReprisal]

What is this :O , I think I will go back to listening to Nirvana , this generation scares me.

[GodWorse]

I saw them in Edinburgh tonight, we met them outside (perfect timing) and chatted for ages. we were standing at the very front, and the second song they played was this, and he dedicated it to my best friend and I, no gig will ever top that.

[FojeFan]

@GodWorse what do you mean he dedicated it to you and your best friend? He said ''This song is about my dead friend'' or something like that... I don't remember him dedicating it to someone in the crowd...

[GodWorse]

@FojeFan Yeah, he said this song is about my dead best friend and I'd like you dedicate to the two kids we met outside, this song's called best friend.

[thesebigcityydreams]

i'm enchanted by his dancing...

[amthechamp32]

This one goes out to Ryan Wood, you sucked balls at skating but you always filled the room with smiles

[transfan83]

i hate myself for liking this

[Durbikins]

Yes, he dances like this live.

[pipelinephil]

[fallon3446]

What a fuckin belta!

[cjstroked]

ian cutrtis and morrisey had a baby

[magicxhours]

@cjstroked or maybe bernard sumner has been donating lots of sperm.

[mcomme]

@cjstroked More like Suggs and David Byrne to be fair. With a reacharound from Ian Curtis. I don't see where the Morrisey comes from. Sorry.

[baracudabomber]

@mcomme seems to be more like David Byrne and Morrisey judging by his stage presence to me

[beneaththesound]

@cjstroked pretty much

[Ashelicious35]

In Love with his dancing <3

[pinkyring4]

Music video done in one shot = win

[aureliogreen]

Joy division's legacy is there

[kostenorulz]

My basement lookes better than this.

[jessepajo]

Press 4 for MY HAND IS A DOLPHIN

[Toris1000]

This sounds like a nerd in his bedroom with a 4 track chorus pedal and a tr707 drum machine .... my god this 80s rehashed . Nothing original here but more bad music from some dorks who can't play their instruments at all

[UberTacoNoob]

I really need to take a shit omg hurry up music video and finish :(

[atlobsessed74]

[shortanious]

Harry Styles plays pokemon? what a faggot

[WolfBoy723]

@shortanious I used play pokemon wen I was smaller on my gameboy color haha its a sick game auctually sometimes haha

[shortanious]

@WolfBoy723 i used to play it too, pokemon blue and red were awesome but harry styles acts all cool and is in a boy band then advertises for pokemon which i thought was more of a children's game...

[WolfBoy723]

@shortanious Idk who harry styles even is man haha but yea i get what your sayin forreal

[shortanious]

@WolfBoy723 oh, he's in a fag band from x factor. i said it cause he advertised pokemon before the video

[WolfBoy723]

@shortanious Haha never seen X factor! You must live in the UK or somewhere either way, totally agree what a faggot, haha X factor is to the UK as American Idol is to the U.S. and I think both make a mockery of our cultures, totally agree with you man

[shortanious]

@WolfBoy723 yeah they're all the same shit really. they all produce shitty pop artists :L

[ipunchhampsters]

Heard them first in a shopping mall and I'm so glad for it. Great music!

[PawMawgan]

They're so different, it's like they've brought back the 80's with a new style, its quite genius, amazing band.

[ispeakSWAG]

Your my best friend but then you died =))))

[zackgraybeal]

The singer looks like a nazi.

[ChaotixMachine]

I can't help but get the feeling that in this video, either the lead singer or the rest of the band is supposed to be the "Best Friend".

[YOBTAF15]

this guys so indie im guessing he ejaculates rainbows and sperm cells dressed in topman gear...

[edupn2008]

I don't see an strange dancing like this since Tears For Fears in "Mad World" video, who likes 80's knows what I'm saying. This is an incredible bando, II just hope they don't get lost as Bloc Party did.

[BatmanButWithPowers]

I like The Drums but this guy looks so Indie that it's painful.

[upforcabo]

[aoclearylover1023]

At least Jonathan Pierce isn't so monothematic as MJ.

AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE TWO YEARS AGO I KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT MJ...

[mrcheereo]

@TheDrumsFan This was the funniest comment I have read in Weeks. Thanx for the good laugh.

[niamhnoonoo]

[barbconch]

this is a good song but a total Smiths rip-off, especially the lyrics

[wtf941]
