  • my favorite band in this year

  • my fave song of '09! :] ...

  • imagine how sweet it would be if that was your street they were filming at the start of the video.

  • Imagine how sweet it would be if that was your glass of milk they were pouring!!!!!! And even sweeter if that was your egg on the table!!!

  • i like how is still a rock song even tho its kinda mellow....not TOO out there or hard core...

  • Like "Paranoid Park"...

    Brilliant.

  • f*ck!

    great

  • they are amazig!!!!! :)

  • This is terrific. So terrific, in fact, that I wanted to post it on FaceBook, but since Universal is dumb, they disabled embedding. Way to undermine your marketing guys! No wonder major labels are in such trouble, totally tone-deaf.

  • this song is amazing

  • fucking deadly song!

  • Lekker nummertje hoor!

  • they remind me of joy division. :)

  • omg this sucks erin what were you thinking??

    jk im only teasing its pretty good

  • pure quality, great sound, i@ve found another band called the enchanted fools- with a song called the eye of the storm. has anybody info on them.

  • awesome band..... i love this song!

  • i think i'm a new FAN of white lies.... X

  • Almost as good as The Sound( Adrian Borland) Great song though.

  • i LOVE this song!!!!

  • Great song!

    It has a sound wich sounds familair, maybe snow patrol, the cure, killers, i dont know. but like i give a fuck which band they look like.

    I only care about the music!

  • I think it sounds a lot like the editors. Maybe thats the one you mean.

  • yeah i agree with that.

    this band is fantastic

  • lame song. their other ones ok, looks like its a fluke.

  • I love the images with the song, but the editing is so bad - there's no pace!

  • i think this video seems like Harmony Korine's work.

    love this. x

  • Saw these lastnight at the NME awards tour..

    Best gig ive been to in time,

    they were amazing :D

  • Ooh, I'm going to see that tonight, well excited :D

  • The Cure for sure...with a twist of The Killers.

    Regardless, I love it. I want something to shake up the current drivel and if these guya are "IT", then fine by me.

    /I like it.

  • a lot of interpol too

  • you mean new order

  • arghh whatt snowpatrol wtf erogeohgegowehgvwehbeh tihveuvdiouva

    fufvkjv ndvwev#

    PLEASE STOP COMPARING THEM WTFFFFFFFFFF

  • It'd be quicker to list the artists they don't sound like. Shabba Ranks for one.

  • Slipknot another?

    Abba?

    Pendulum?

    The TingTings?

    Lol. Wow your right, it is easier :)

  • They are using the same label as The Cure - Fiction Records.

    Anyone notice the use of the just gone "10.15" on the clock? ..... The Cure used this on many of their videos, after thier single "10.15 Saturday night".

  • like

    snowpatrol

  • Yeah i think it sounds like bands from the 80's

    Kinda reminds me of Tears For Fears

  • every time i hear this sounds better gonna grow to seriuosly love this band bit when guitars kick in is exhilarating their other tunes r top class 2

  • ass

  • dung

  • fuck you

  • cheer up lads

  • i'm no music critic whatsoever, i just like this song, thats my opinion and its probably worthless, but my opinion never the less

  • ur opinion isnt worthless! listen to crystal castles remix its wiked

  • Yawn! Every instrument is a dull fascimile of every other dull copycat charting at the moment, and the lyrics are wholly trite. Why does this sell?!?!?!?!!!

  • because u are the minor majority, everyone else likes it!

  • I like it, reminds me of The Cure.

    I don't agree with you, I think it sounds more like bands from the 80's. It's a sound you either like or not mate. Musics like that. Original sound?..no, but then what hasn't been done before?.

  • i agree...that to lose my life song reminds me of the kiesers or franz...

  • Be worth going to that NME Big Gig,.... White lies, Franz Ferdinand, then The Cure. Should be a good £50

  • tunbridge wells forum. 150 people. £8

  • Whaaaaaaaat £8 sodding quid!

    Can't make the date dammit. You can beat they won't be playing for £8.00 in the future now they got a number one album....gutted!

  • and crystal castles!

  • Actually Gonna see em - playing Heaven on 8th May

    about £15 - bargain

  • this song clearly rips off geraldine by glasvegas

    /watch?v=CMT418TyRiA

    still a good song though

  • this starting to piss me off.......this band has been compared to so many different bands....can people get over the fact they have drums and a vocalist and guitars and what not....that yes they do indeed play music which is very similar to ...ALL FUCKING BANDS EVER

  • 'I live on the right side and sleep on the left, that's why everything's gotto be love or death' That hits me in the heart! Amazing lyrics and amazing band!

  • The scotsman gave this album 1 star!!!!!!!!

  • If the rest of it sounds like this, they were entirely qualified in giving it 1 star.

  • remind me a bit of franz ferdinand

  • dont ever say that again. franz ferdinand make me want to bic shave my head

  • I Like It

  • i wish i'd written this song

  • Brilliant, potential to be massive I reckon

  • Ian McCulloch?

  • definite echo and the bunnymen vibe

  • love it, saw them at latitude, soo good, very interpol

  • rubbish video but decent song

  • Kinda interesting... Will see them twice in less than a week... supporting Glasvegas, then The Cure :-)

  • I'm seeing them within the same month in two different countries? Does that count? =P

  • yeah, they're from west london i think.

  • are they british?

  • Yes =D

  • calm down children

  • Comment removed

  • I was told to check this band by a fellow band mate who wants to do a cover of them but to be honest this isn't the strongest song i've heard its alright but with bands like Joy Division, New Order and The Editors it just seems like an other ok band that either going to reel me in with their next single or i'll hear it on the radio every day and i'll want to jump off a bridge...I hope it's the first.

  • They were the support for the Glasvegas band iwent to see an they were awesome!

  • They sound good!

    Why are you comparing them to every different planet under the sun?

    So what if they sound a little like killers/editors/joy division ect, most bands sound the same as each other anyway :)

  • Don't know about anyone else, but my comment wasn't meant as a criticism, just an observation.

  • Comment removed

  • More Echo and the Bunnymen than Joy Division. Vocals are pure McCulloch.

  • not bad actually

    you can hear the killers

  • They are very Joy Division/New Order inspired,

    I think they're one of the supporting acts in the NME up & coming band tour? :)

  • love them

  • Comment removed

  • whats the guardian? yeah like some shits who talk about bands when they were'nt even born, at least those of us grew up with JD know what we are talking about!

  • Why don't we just google everything,then post an intelligent looking comment.Bet he doesn't have the balls to hang himself,though.Cloak,please!

  • Great Song, remind me of Joy Division, they should be big in 09

  • Gee, i just read a piece on the Guardian and then came to YouTube to repeast just what that piece said so i can look like i am kool and know what i am talking about.

    Thanks.

  • I know what I am talking about, bullshiters like you just leave random comments like this because you know nothing about music

  • Sure you do, you know all about music you read in the Guardian. C'mon, admit it. Quit trying to lay claim to any credibility.

  • Lay claim to what credibility? I expressed my own opinion, which is more than I can say for you, and I don't read the Guardian. Pity you cannot post a positive comment about the song.Chill out man enjoy the song.

  • i think you could do with some practise sir

    the guys right, you just look like a tosser insulting everyone, music is a thing to be enjoyed, not ripped apart by people on the internet whrre no one gives a fuck anyway, enjoy it, if your not, why comment

    cool band hope to see more of them, definately very editors/killers based, he has a cool voice too, simple song but yeh decent

  • dude

    chill

    why comment if not for the music

    ohhh, so insult people

    what fun

    you mean verbatim right? telling me i cant read and using pushy over complicated words you spell wrong isnt a way to look cool

  • You are a fucking penis.

    I fucking hate you you pretentious cunt.

  • ahh, having a little tentrum are we! you f**ing started this you little shit go committ harikari arsehole

  • i will be seeing them on the nme tour, they sound pretty decent : )

  • you,ve got to catch these guys live.They suported glasvegas and almost made the gig theres

  • Love it... :)

    They're going to be huge in 09, wait and see...

  • Just Excellent!

  • he sounds a lot like Jim Morrison

  • It's a great song...and so is the new one...but this video is boring as hell....

  • death=boring

  • ^Fear OF Flying

  • If anyone can find the stuff from their days as 'Fear if Flying', that too is absolutely fantstic! Routemaster was an excellent single, and there was other stuff too which i can't find any more....if anyone can then let us know!

  • I saw them in Preston - only really went to see them - they could be destined for greatness if they can keep it up - this song is my song of the year !!! ;)

  • i also saw them at wolverhampton and it was the first time i had heard of them, i was amazed, they were outstanding and better than glasvegas actually were!! i am now in love with them lol n gotta get the album but dont know where it is. does anyone know? =/

  • Its coming out on the 12th Jan 2009 - UK that is...

  • saw them at Preston with Glasvegas, although i can't really remember much of it, i thought Glasvegas were much more 'sing a long able' but i don't really know White Lies ^^

    not bad

  • I saw them supporting Glasvegas at Wolverhampton, I'd seen this video on NME before hand, OMG I was buzzing when I saw who the support where. I was telling my boyfriend how amazing this band are, and they truly proved it. Glasvegas were brill, but White Lies, so much better! Crowd Interaction, performance and general hype they genrated when they finished their set with this song, was better than anything Glasvegas pulled out of theeir Glaswegion hats.

  • I saw them last night in Preston too! Glasvegas were a joke, we left halfway through... :( Seriously what was going on?! White Lies outclassed thm in every way.

  • saw them last night with glasvegas and they were way better. better at crowd interaction, better songs and just generally better.

    way to go guys!!!

  • i hate the vid

  • I kinda dig these dudes

  • these guys do sound like the bravery

  • They sound more like the Editors to me. Love 'em though. Going to big in 09.

  • nah... they sound like joy division, which is what editiors sound like...

    eh?

  • Solo espero que no sea uno de esos one hit wonder, suena bastante bien !!! habra que escuchar todo el CD

  • Dont usually like this sort of music but this is a cool song. x

  • saw these at sugar mill last night!!!

    the drummer is incredable.

    the lead singer sounds like the guy from kings of leon!

    or is that just me?

  • what the hell are you talking about? do you actually have ears?

  • hahaha, you're a g!

  • Just you

  • Best Song Of The Year.

    I agree with those who compare this band to Joy Division, but White Lies is not simply an endrun to pop soothing, rather a wire to healing a fatal flaw in the contempory music landscape. White Lies is a beacon of hope for OUR generation...

  • it is but crystal castles remix is way better trust me.
