Uniform - Bloc Party

[therockstarofsss2300]

@Kento610 great words of encouragement brother I will keep doing what I do see you in YouTube land

[jaffabeans]

Bloc party are so under appreciated !

[forthegreaterdrama]

Uniform - the song that pretty much made me forgive Bloc Party for the rest of "A Weekend in the City." No shade. I love this band but that album had, as the song goes, "a sense of disappointment."

[therockstarofsss2300]

so I'm black and this guy makes me feel so much better about how I go about my life all my life I hear ppl saying I'm trying to be white, I'm only trying to be myself.

[Kento617]

@therockstarofsss2300 I know right!? Dude just keep being you. Im going to guess being white means "listening to the music you like" while black means "drinking 40's and having their pants on the ground" or whatever. Im black and people would say the same things to me. Well fuck them. Keep being you man! =)

[Fretless19942]

`This band is don!

[TheSirajlyons]

ahh god this is as good as Coldplay, awesome music, just love it

[june5516]

what matters if hes gay.. its all about the music ppl

[sexme9111]

to bad kele is gay. i admired him until i learned the truth. bloc party live on for ever

[ChriskOsborne]

@sexme9111 He was gay when you liked bloc party.. And most fans from 6+ years ago knew he was bi or gay solely because he didn't talk about his sexuality.

[KittyxLava]

@sexme9111

who cares if he is gay? There's nothing wrong with that.

[spo0o0ky]

@sexme9111 So what if he's gay? His singing and his music still kicks ass.

[giacc0]

@sexme9111 even Freddie Mercury was gay, what does it means?

[WrExPro]

@sexme9111 it's sad that there are still people like you who make a difference between gay and straight... let everyone love whoever he wants, start being a little more tolerant! The world could be so much better if there weren't such stupid ways of thinking...

[Fretless19942]

@sexme9111 You're a fucking twat, so what if hes gay, hes still makes good music, being gay doesn't make him any better or worse of a person. I hate people like you.

[forthegreaterdrama]

@sexme9111 : Being gay doesn't make him less of a human being because he did not choose to be gay. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about you. Losing your admiration for a talented artist just because he's gay makes you less of a human being because you are unable to properly use your brain to realize that a person's sexual preference has nothing to do with his worth as a person. Oh, and let me preempt you from the inevitable reproduction argument because that would be just pathetic.

[Nubias]

They sure have a lot of videos for the music,Deezam!

[Baxter0013]

thumbs down if bloc party REALLY awesome! ;oD

[imsulphuric]

#eargasm

[ProtoArc]

Awesome lyrics.

[BiffroHarley]

bloc party are just ledge :D this is my fav song :)

[HosieryLiam]

@gomary09 Nah, it's more like art rock than indie. I dunno. Bloc Party are weird, they defy genres.

[1ENGLANDFOREVER]

there first album was there best its one ov the best debut albums ever. these an kasabian best english bands ov the last 10 years

[TheBizzle280]

Just make me laugh

[HeyJoe94]

their best song, from their best album.

[alnelsurpia]

So when are you going to realize those are not your wrongs to right

Have another line, have another drink.

[HayleyWolowich]

WTF kind of music is this? you dope... :P just saying...

[gomary09]

@HayleyWolowich its Indie Rock ! Bloc Party best Indie Rock band !!!!!

[laplaya77]

magic!

[MrLisztomaniac]

indie music at it's shining best.

[rockfeedback]

The magnificent Bloc Party live and exclusive interviews from Rockfeedback...

youtube.com/user/rockfeedback?­feature=mhum#p/u/0/CGmq9WB7Pjs

That's not all though, whether it's Florence and the machine, Mumford and Sons or countless others, we have all the exclusive interviews and live gigs...

[janibau]

how awesome is that?

[sportfreak736]

19 people are finding it hard to break the mold.



[maxarbuthnot]

Tell me a joke ! make it last,

make it cruel , just make me laugh ;)

[Mirkostudio]

Mirko Saltalamacchia - Fotosints Clorophilla

[chickenhead12333]

i guess there was 18 haters that had to wear uniforms lol :D

[frenchsev]

agree with all comments

- thank God for BP

- the more you listen to their songs, the better they sound... even after s'thing like 891 hearings

- i have seen them on stage i was fascinated by Kele

- the very beginning of the song (especially guitar) sounds really like the Pixies... since I consider Pixies as being GODS, I could take BP as the messiah !?

Just love it, they are essence of rock

Sev

[tessie22456]

I believe that 18 people where holding their computer upside down when they said they rated it and got confused.

[restlessbudsstir]

This song has never been more relivant for city life...

[chriscamano]

The climactic bridge w/ solo is incredible.

[nicsta1983]

I love what this song stands for. It's ok to be different, we weren't born to be sheep ;)

[suikergeit]

what's the thing about BP? They just never bore you.. some songs have the effect like thore more you hear it, the better it gets.. Other songs have a continuating effect: first time you hear it, you have this amazing feeling of awesomeness and even after four years the song keeps having this effect...

========> Uniform = both!.

Thank God for Bloc Party

[marthasoria66]

@suikergeit dude! i feel u....i been listening bloc party- 'skeleton' for years now....and not once i ever got bored of it :)

[TheStrawberryracing]

At the beginning, the guitar sounds a bit like baquet :)

[IchigoYagami979]

just awesome! if someone says not is an asl!!!

[kingjules13th]

there was a sense of dissapiontment.... when this song stopped

[EpochAmeiroir]

This is one of the most important songs ever written. With our obsession with fashion and celebrity nowadays, it rings even truer. Since when has it become acceptable for us to be afraid of who we are?

[atextarte]

The Best Part: 0:00 to 5:36

[XxXBlocPartyXxX]

@atextarte

lol

thats the whole song. but in facht its my opinion, too

[bloc22]

does anyone just get fucking inspired listening to these guys? It's because of this band I play instruments now

[supercaca12]

@bloc22 they are my inspiration too

[TheWulfe17]

4:30

[deathtrack15]

is there a better quality version of this video?

[antonersulten]

Why is the song called Uniform?

[RossbartonFS]

@antonersulten

Because the masses of youth are all the same, wearing the same "masks", having the same illusions of reality created by modern culture.

Uniform : always the same; showing a single form or character in all occurrences

[MiervaldisPirdunas]

Pop songs won't change the government

[WeAreUnion1]

@MiervaldisPirdunas haaha my fave line

[Banned4Life]

@fearthetapir I hope you know that he was quoting Bloc Party, not claiming this as a pop song and an attempt to change the government.

[Tehan123]

@fearthetapir Lol it's a quote from the lyrics

[poooplooop]

@MrMorrris their still together thier jus on alot of tours....i think......or thier jus on a break but their comin back

[zebromofo]

I remember when I first heard this, the night before I downloaded the bloc party discography cause I'd heard helicopter and loved it and so I ditched all my classes the next day and just walked around in a snowstorm listening to bloc party. they've been my favourite band and this has been my favourite song since.

[jonathanlacostejobin]

@zebromofo Hope you paid for the download... At least to encourage your favorite band!

[zebromofo]

@jonathanlacostejobin I didn't then but I've bought all their records since

[patrone411]

@zebromofo

theyre my favorite band too.

i love walking outside when it rains and listen to theyr songs!

hope that doesnt sound too weird ^^

[girliedolly25]

@patrone411 not weird at a\ll.

[Eddieskater]

I freaking love this song and bloc party. They are my number 1 favorite band in the fucking world. thumbs up

[DaBlueBass]

thumbs up if bloc party is awesome!

[skimpy343]

I listened to one month off, and i thought jesus was calling my name.

[claypeoplerock]

Kele's voice is like magic.

[bestbud11d7]

ok, i don't like this Coldplay/Bloc Party competition, i think they are both amazing, so cut with the crap and just listen to the music.:)

[keith1735]

i like bloc party but they cant come close to coldplay . come on now lets be human clocks by its self gets played a billion times everyday. now what song can beat that

[patrone411]

@keith1735

i dont like coldplay.

i love blocparty with all my heart.

errbody has opinions ^^

[punk100000000]

Man, Bloc Party really is unique compared to other bands they were one my first bands I ever listened to in my life. Wow 19 people missed the thumbs up button... shame shame..

[KyPa1996]

this is a really cool band because they are DIFRENT and its something REAL....and i agree with djnexor...

[Youdavelol]

Best

[TheGreve]

Have you seen the pedals Russel and Kele uses for their effects live? Haha, it's like 20 different pedals per person. Amazing band btw, one of the best.

[MiikeMo9]

[lexusppp]

[dennymcf]

[ShambolicSwinny]

[AaronF526]

I did covers of Like Eating Glass and Uniform. Check it out.

[darkoriano]

No.

[KFillies]

luv them

[musicismylife442]

i am obsessed with the feedback at the start of the clip. is it feedback? if it is, i like how its melodious and stays in harmony, even though by definition feedback is sort of off kilter and wild. this song has always sounded so sad to me. kele sounds sad.

[DirtyDozer]

its called an e-bow. it vibrates the strings. very fun to play around with :)

[kekle3]

It's about his dissapointment in the attitude the youth have today.. So yea, he sounds sad because he "is" sad.

[LeviTheActorDirector]

amazing. bloc party are the best.

[133Daddy]

What kit does he drum on

[SilentBombr]

@133Daddy Pearl

[wikywhat]

Russell, LEDs and Humbuckers. Badass guitar.

[HonorisCausa1]

Erm why can I see right through keles ear at the start :S

we're so bored

[xlChrisPololx]

@HonorisCausa1 It could be a reflection on something that is in his ear or maybe he has a hole in his ear lol.

[darkoriano]

It's a reflection.

[VivaLaMente]

Why is Gordons mic so low? Volume wise

[RoyalFazedOo]

my favorite part is the speeded up part!

[ConnorJLewiss]

make it cruel, just make me laugh (8)

[PabloArty]

pues si si, existen las coinsidencias pero con panda son demasiadas, no me pongo altanero porque panda me gusto hasta la venganza del principe charro, despues de para ti con desprecio pues ya no me parecio lo que hacian, pero siento que son muchas coinsidencias y pues checa esta es otra coinsidencia entonces?

amnisita = the penalty de beirut

[BehemothDethenBlack]

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall All the young people looked the same Wearing their masks of cool and indifference Commerce dressed up as rebellion 'Cause we are so handsome and we are so bored So entertain us, tell me a joke Make it long, make it last Make it cruel, just make me laugh We can't be hurt Drink to forget your blues on the weekend Think about more things to buy The TV taught me how to sulk and love nothing And how to grow my hair long

[BehemothDethenBlack]

'Cause we are so handsome and we are so bored So entertain us, tell me a joke Make it long, make it last Make it cruel, just make me laugh We can't be hurt (x3) So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose? (When you have entertainment When you have things to pass the time) So why do you have to go thinking thoughts that are above you? (You can be happy, just play dumb) (You can be happy, just play dumb)

[BehemothDethenBlack]

Well, I was brave and unique Intelligent, a snowflake I could have been a hero No one can be trusted over the age of 14 Tattoo our arms, Converse shoes Cynical, but we still do it We tell ourselves that we're different I've gotten so good at lying to myself All, all my pain and honour is used up All, all, all, all my guns are rusted So when you gonna realise those are not your wrongs to right Have another dumb line, have another drink

[BehemothDethenBlack]

I am a martyr, I just need a motive

I am a martyr, I just need a cause

I'm a believer, I just need a moment

I'm a believer, I just need a cause

We're finding it hard to break the mould

We're finding it hard to be alone

We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves

We have nothing at all to say

[BehemothDethenBlack]

Uniform, uniform, uniform

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall

All the young people looked the same

[MiikeMo9]

love it

[PabloArty]

[ilikedirtjumping]

I saw them live at Sheffield's O2 academy on Sunday 10th Oct and it was the best night of my life! BEST BAND AROUND AT THE MOMENT

[rscott1827]

It was the best thing i've ever seen

They were amazing!

If they go anywhere near you live GO AND SEE THEM :D

[DecimusVortex]

[msfg1]

[LewBeii]

The Prayer.

[sonicspeedx]

the prayer

[OlympiaOverdrive]

one of the best off A weekend in the city. certain.

[CamLen14]

actually i have to disagree, its been overplayed imo. srxt is the best off that album

[OlympiaOverdrive]

Okay, yes and no. But it's certainly up there. ;)

[specterblade92]

that solo was amazing

[Rashad0418]

Great fucking song. One of their best. Should have been a single...

[thegreatjarhead]

[thegreatjarhead]

[HannotNah]

Hes just awesome all the time....

[xXxLaXdEmOnXxX]

[Markezey]

[Narop20]

[djnexor]

[bitchenhitchen]

[hothazard]

Agree mate !

[helloRiddel]

i've seen them live in portugal.. i was in da front row sreaming between songs '' kele, im ur brother, y dont u remember me?? '' then he pointed at me and laughed, damn, what a moment for me! LOL Bloc Party, all day long!

[hurleypwell]

thats wasome !!!!!!!!!!! im going to do that at every concert im at !

[yorenfromabove]

hehehe I've screamed " Kele I love you" and he said " aww thats cute who said that? It was you the guy in the Maximo Park shirt" ... I was wearing a Bloc Party shirt...

[helloRiddel]

ahahah that last part kinda sucked but at least he heard you lol xD

[Rashad0418]

duuuude i wish they would come to the US, unless they already did... then id be sad.... =[

[LewBeii]

They were on Letterman's show once, they played Banquet.

[Rashad0418]

ii hope they hold a concert in america, i'd pay anything to go...

[cal31BRIAN23]

they did, even one free in NYC , I didn't go because when i realized that they playing date, i realized the same day.

[couttsyboy]

Epic

[CodyBear6]

Oh Man I get Chills When The Song Kicks Up At 2 Something

Gotta Love Bloc Party

[cpreston5]

I love the robot toy noise near the end of the solo!

[bloc22]

better than the studio version, so raw

[Enothrae]

this version is not as good as the studio versoin, but its still an awesome song

[Sonnenwolke]

Kele <3

[donots94]

more than words can say!

[JessieRhys]

amazing

[turbojugend18]

im not going to write about anything other than this a bloody good band and i like them

[krumpakevin]

Another example for the beauty of the Blocs - the lyrics.

You see this kind of behaviour everyday and it´s very sad that we act like that. Especially the Mask of Cool and Indifference is a big big problem i think.

[cal31BRIAN23]

well now days , its kind of different/same, people want to be different to capture the spot light . dress in all types of ridiculous things just to get attention. Nothing unique though, we just went to attention whore society.

[VKristien]

Love this song!

Bloc Party is amazing!

[beleg00shyama]

coldplay is good too but BP iss awesomeEe i love both of theMMm but you shouldnt compare bands

[EvilTree2397]

Love the sound effects towards the end!

[Marinazelena]

Beautiful !!!

[roderber]

One of my favorites BP songs

[SUSANF47]

bloc party are unique they dont sound like any other bands. especially not fucking coldplay LOL!

[BertilUlfsson]

no and especially not this song. listen the part starting at 1:07

[grayman802]

@SUSANF47 yup, your'e exactly right dude. Bloc Party are their own band!! A Great Band!!!

[drewhadou]

@SUSANF47 dude i personally think they're better than Coldplay. they never make the same tune twice. Coldplay kind of falls into this habit of making the same four tunes over and over again. i dig them, but i think Bloc Party sort of makes them look feeble.

[wertaslopey8]

to put the meaning of Uniform short its supposed to be kele's frustration about the lack of individuality of todays youth.

[RedWarrant]

sorry, I kind of get it, but the lyrics confuse me slightly. As far as I can tell, its about young people trying to be cool by being miserable, un- interested, pessimistic, but they dont realise their all the same? is that right? I dunno, but I love the song.
