  • the song is brilliant

    the music video is brilliant and a good idea

  • love this track -

    epic

  • Reminds Ok Go. Good job, guys!

  • There has got to be a medical condition where you here an awesome song on an advert and then can't find the bloody thing later.

  • I don't know why but this song reminds me a lot of ok go at the intro. I still love it though

  • this song needs to be longer.

  • Just find myself getting hypnotised by the hands in the background :P

  • I have an incredible urge to go out and buy a ford.

  • I feel like buying a ford car now...

  • thank you ford, thank you

  • I fricking love the bit from 2:54 - 3:00!

  • love the chorus in this so much and the bass is siiiiick!

  • Great track, better than all that manufactured shite on TV and Capital Radio :-)

  • I actually sought this song out on the internet, only to say how truly awful it is. I have to mute my televison whenever the Ford advert comes on. It grinds my ears and mind and it's simply the worst song I've ever heard. I feel so strongly about Ford's disgustingly poor taste in music, that I will never ever, own, drive or accept a lift in one of their cars. This song makes me astonishingly angry and also makes my ears bleed. AWFUL song, awful.....

  • @denzilson why did you have to tell us that?

  • @denzilson sounds like you've got waaaayyy too much time on your hands!

  • @denzilson haters gonna hate bro 

  • @denzilson hahahaha.

  • @denzilson hahahaha.

  • sONG IS SO CLASSIC reminds me of a ghanian song

  • I must admit it's worth watching the television advertisement just to hear this tune.

  • I love the dancing in the foreground, it's EPIC.

  • for some reason when i heard this on a ford advert i thought it was a remix of fame by david bowie

  • DAT BASS

  • Love all the tapping

  • I was completely hooked on this track soon as this ad first came on - very reminiscent of Bowie, Talking Heads, etc..

    I didn't think artists still made such good music, seems everybody is on some electropop plastic-rap shit these days..

  • Reminds me of Modest Mouse. I like it.

  • I think I'm responsible for about 30ish views. Plenty more where that came from :)

  • Bass tab?

  • That was shockingly good. u got to hand it to some of these big company advertising teams. how do they scope em out? Would feel guilty to youtube convert this. amazing undiscovered band.

  • Thankyou Ford ad! ;)

  • TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUNE

  • Maybe a Rice Krispie or a Sugar Puff

  • arghhh i cant work out how to play it

  • cool guitar riff

  • Niiiiiice! ^^

  • A lot of people have mentioned Talking Heads and Roxy Music, but something about this track also reminds me a lot of David Bowie and Hot Chip, especially the vocals.

  • Interesting retro sound, like Bowie, Talking Heads etc. However this also has the worst ever drumming I've ever heard in my whole life.

  • Is there anybody who can figure out the tab for this song. i've been waiting too long and i'm too stupid to work it out myself.. help me :(

  • Great tune

  • thumbs up if you heard this on the ford tv ad :)

  • @JAKEMCCARTHY100 aaaaaaaaa this is were i have heard it - thanks

  • Kinda reminds me oft he Talking heads. Brilliant track.

  • brilliant tune.......................

  • Glad I found it on here as I like it, saw it on the Ford Focus advert and it was bugging me what the music was!

  • Its The Drum Beat That Got Me Here <3

  • It's one of them infectious songs which gets into your brain and stays there all day :) Fiction are fab!

  • Uncle Henry brought me here.

  • Talking heads meet China Crisis...cool

  • quality band

  • this is going in my montage love it so much

    makes me feel so glad to be british ahhhhhhhhhh :)

  • Last minute is the best

  • I think there's a touch of Roxy Music about this, maybe a bit of Talking Heads as well! 

  • I think there's a touch of Roxy Music about this.

  • This tunes brilliant!

  • Pity about the beginning of this track as it went on it got more tuneful which i liked heard it first on the Ford Fiesta ad

  • like if your here because of the car advert :)

  • big things, giant things, sinking with gravity, landing with paper wings / things not to think about, things not to think about / and i can feel every wind-shield, every wheel, and i am coloured by the whites of your eyes / accent an incident, not now but soon again, oh, where is my indifference? / things not to think about, things not to think about / things not to think about, things not to think about / big things.

  • can someone give me the lyrics of the song?

  • can someone give me the lyrics of the song?

  • This is fantastic! I love their sound.

  • i wanna find these bass tabs!

  • Doesn't get good until 1:30

  • Tasty guitar, getting it under my fingers

  • This makes me feel happy :)

    BIG SMILES NOW :)

  • dear god it is not easy to do that hand thing

  • Tune!

  • such a head-bopping tune.

  • Nice wee bit of Koyaanisqatsi going on in the background there.

  • I am liking the current trend of awesome music on british adverts. Some one deserves a nice chocolate bar or a pat on the back or something.

  • @jealey12 Agreed with every single bit of that haha :)

  • Had to Shazam it after seeing the Ford ad

  • This is an awesome song! So original.

    Independent British music at its best.

  • @donuldvan Get a grip and go listen to the talking heads (wild wild life) cos they sound pretty much the same. then go and listen to the Smiths who are kings of british independent scene. Incidentally their records were also released on Rough Trade. This is a really good song but don't get carried away... :-)

  • Lol this dancing is so funny

  • Great tune!! Loves it :D

  • Singer sounds like Bret Mckenzie at times..thumbs up if you know what i mean.

  • Thank you Uncle Henry for introducing me to this record.

  • sounds like something daft punk would of done

    

  • lool this song puts me in a good mood :)

  • Thought this was some long lost sound from the early eighties when I heard it on the advert. Sounds like something from Liverpool circa 81/82.

  • TUNE!

    

  • i like this alot. it reminds me about how much i think about things. things. giant things. small things. lol i need to stop thinking. good tune, made me feel happy about thinking about things well done fiction

  • Really does sound like Talking Heads, which is ok by me...nice little tune.

    We just LOVE da tune!

    Get me?

  • I've just listened to this 10 times in a row. lets make it 20.

  • @jonty2k how can you listen to a song that much :S even if its catchy

  • Sounds like Van She a bit.

  • Ahh ... Talking heads tribute ..., nice

  • The rhythm is just great... :D

  • If these guys made songs like this, I'd be a sold fan through and through..but listening to their other songs puts me off...

  • people who came here from the ford advert are gay.

  • @flapjackkkkkkk why? I challenge you to give me one VALID reason why there is a problem with hearing a song on an advert and thinking 'that sounds catchy - I'm going to find out who sings it and thus generate more revenue for the artist'

    You tool.

  • In the Navy, YMCA, For Fiesta.... Oh, get you ducky!

  • In the Navy, YMCA, Ford Fiesta.... Oh, get you ducky!

  • cant believe this is not modest mouse after hearing on ford ad

  • I think i'll just buy the album - a tad cheaper.

  • Makes me wanna spend £10,500 on a car.

  • is anyone smart enough to figure out the tab for this? i've searched the net and theres not even an attempt.. DISGRACEFUL! love this song!

  • Chorus sounds like Modest Mouse - thought it was them on that Ford Advert... sounds cool anyways!

  • I can't find lyrics for this song.

  • 2:32 the advert music part ;)

  • Well actually Topshop brought me here :') 

  • what are the lyrics, please?

  • This is the type of song I'll put my headphones in and think over everything in life this song isn't my type but it makes me smile I don't know why "thumbs up"

  • after hearing this song on an advert..i have become strangely addicted to it..makes me imagine im inside a game walkign around and when the beat drops i have these cool air boots which make me be able to jump suppperrr high past bubble gum candy floss clouds with the worlds most awesome guitar in my hands while lil stars smile and wink at me as i leap by LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...yes i like music and i have a strange imagination hahah

  • great tune, reminds of music from between late 70s to mid eighties, excellent.

  • There's room for improvement on the dancing front, lads. Just saying...

  • This tune so rocks. Its perfect and we need it now xx

  • I actually didn't hear them first from the advert! I saw them supporting the Klaxons and thought they were great. Then I saw the advert and thought it sounded familiar. It's good to see them doing well!

  • Hey hey found it ^^ thanks ford advert lol

  • you don't understand what it took me to get me here, i get hereing the song, and i picked out the word 'fame', and searched it on youtube, looked for about 2 hours to try and find it, and 24 hours later i see the comercial and now i'm here, and what a tune!, thanks ford!
