Phoenix - (You Can't Blame It On) Anybody

[davidemir1]

this song makes me believe that we still have musical and lyrical talent flowing around in the new generation.

[00anjie00]

What's not to like!

[Grade8Panda]

Yeah

[pratikparija]

Phoenix is such an awesome band! Beautiful song!

[fionaspencer8]

One of my favorite songs on Alphabetical (or from any of their albums). The music is amazing, there's an atmosphere about it that takes you to a different plane. The lyrics tell a story, like reading a book by a good writer, you can see the actions, lol. I picture it happening on a bumpy cobblestoned side-street. "With a little care and a little practice I got to know her well." That is such a simple line that has so many complexities. And his voice and accent are crazy sexy on this track.

[QueenAnime99]

I love Phoenix so much.

[gamerspot11]

Phoenix is one of the most chillest bands i've ever listened to. Yeah, so what if they don't make sense? The music they make is great and i love em

[MsSimplySylvia]

soooo cool.

[crazyjojo7]

I love his voice! :D

[Ralph2879]

How can someone say love is evil that is a strong strong statement especially in a song. It does have a nice melody but god grief I cant get over Love is evil.

[KristyB5]

"Didn't understand or speak Italian...must be good looking undressed..."

[criminalgboro]

@KristyB5 my favorite line haha

[fionaspencer8]

@KristyB5

I always wonder who "must be good looking undressed". It almost sounds like he says "I must be good looking undressed". Like he can't talk to her because she won't understand him, but she doesn't care because he's sexy? Lol. Or is it his thought process. Who cares that I can't understand or speak Italian...she must be good looking undressed.

[KristyB5]

@fionaspencer8 I always thought he was talking about himself. Kind of ribbing himself about not being able to speak Italian, but it didn't matter because that wasn't what that particular rendezvous was about. :)

[fionaspencer8]

@KristyB5 Lol! Right! ;)

[ucablca]

I need to find a honey who speaks sweet Italian... ;)

[357Y1]

LOVE IS ALL  ( love is evil )

[ndnmichele]

LOVE THEM....

[jovenmedia]

how is this song not more popular?

[357Y1]

@jovenmedia I've had all their albums for about a year, and just never cared to give it a play haha what I big mistake, but once I found it, it was like finding a hidden treasure. I feel like it's best to hear this song once you already appreciate phoenix, it's so good to get into and more chill then the other songs :D

[bigal21110]

love is all love is evil

[Zabuza28]

The name of the song is You Can't blame it on anybody. Not can.

[AndreiArdelean]

@Zabuza28 lol thanks!

[oinoriboy]

I love phoenix!!!

[guyfromkorea]

@shel106 thats what i was explaining in my last comment -_-. OF COURSE some americans like phoenix. and i live in america so i noe. and y did justin beiber come in this??? why does justin come in everything>??????

[verdell1978]

Phoenix is just a great fucking band man. They take it to many different places

[gamerspot11]

You Can't Blame It Anybody, some things that don't last

[guyfromkorea]

i dont understand. everywhere else in the world except usa knows European music a lot. America doesn't understand that there are better and simpler things out there than justin bieber. Sigh. Europeans are such great artists. =)

[TheYogiBunnie]

@guyfromkorea Right? Fucking Americans. :p

[obsessivechickx]

@guyfromkorea That's insulting. Don't group me with the 12 year olds of this country.

[guyfromkorea]

@obsessivechickx eh my baddd ur rite

[Stropo13]

@guyfromkorea

Not true at all. There is a large majority of Americans whose musical interests don't include anything like Justin Bieber. My favorite music all comes out of Europe, but there are a lot of American musicians I love. Don't group an entire country based off the musical interests of a few.

[guyfromkorea]

@Stropo13 guys its a sarcastic joke. y u guys so serious? im saying it like saying "all asians are smart". im an asian but i noe that there are lots of asians who are smart and whos dumb. sheeshh of course i noe that a lot of americans like european music.

[shel106]

@guyfromkorea dude im 11 and i hate justin beiber and im american AND i LOOOOVE phoenix sorry but your right about SOME of us no my type of person

[artisticagi]

when i listen to this, i understand why they sometimes call musicians 'artists'.

[gamerspot11]

they need to perform in New Jersey sometime ^_^

[MrsLautner4lyf]

Seriously, I love Phoenix because they're albums don't sound the same but they're all awesome. Thank you for not being scared to switch your style up and still make a great work of music.

Love you guys!!

[guruvudu]

good :D

[thetakis97]

they need to start coming to the u.s. more

[iflysohigh11]

I think Alphabetical has to be my favorite album by Phoenix.

[britpopok]

great PHOENIX.

[shel106]

this is wonderfull we need more music like theirs

[elavate7]

this bass is groovin!!!!!

[elavate7]

wow!!!! i dig!!!!

[madhoshi7]

most artists write lyrics after the rest of the song is done, like an after thought almost. sometimes there is nothing to understand in the lyrics!

[goldenkeys3]

i love pheonix, and I'm black:)

[jessie1793]

@goldenkeys3

Me too :| Just because you're black and you like Phoenix doesn't make you special though. *shrugs*

Phoenix is AMAZING!!!

[InsanistDisturbium]

Amazing band! :D

[forcemajeur08]

Simply beautiful. I love Phoenix.

[purplepanda7272]

[wenzg3791]

the best freaking song i've ever heard

[fionaspencer8]

I love the lyrics. It is such an intersting story.

[g1lly906]

nice

[DBSmusicpage]

Take a listen to this song in rap form! DBS (rap group) remade this song and used the same chorus. check it out on our page!

[artisticagi]

i just love the underlying base in this song.

[Snakethoot]

"Love is all, love is evil"... so true... My favorite song from phoenix! Awesome track

[czurp]

Phoenix are truly an addiction to listen to

[czurp]

truly an addiction

[LilytheFrilly]

@sittre4you: I know that a lot of people feel this way about their favorite indie artist(s), but music is meant to be shared. I have complete faith that whether their songs are catchy enough to be on commercials or exclusively performed in tiny cafes, Phoenix will still make good music and in their own unique way.

[Tsuppi]

@LilytheFrilly In point of fact, it seems that very often musicians who are exposed heavily to the public by way of their "mainstream music" status feel pressure to make different-sounding music. At least different than if they had remained more "isolated," so to say.

Oh, but what do I know. :P

[lockandload29]

if u listen to anybody who tries to explain a situation in english when they don't speak it well... it would sound like this song . sincere too.

[lockandload29]

the song is so intellegent, the fact that it's written in broken english. it's reminds me of good and bad memories :)

[Mrbigboygay]

@lockandload29 how is that "broken english"?

[javahippo]

One of my favourite Phoenix songs.

[Tnias13]

I love this post-disco style alot, they should definitely make more like this. This is something the Bee Gees would've made if they were in their prime today...Classic

[bagooshxxx]

I don't hear the lyrics the first 20 or 30 times I hear a song, just the melody, sonics and instumentation. So if they make no sense...who cares? the track is dope! They are very eclectic, this to 1901..wow.

[QueenAnime99]

Or maybe they like to produce a wide variety of music? There is no need to cut down Phoenix or Sophia Coppola. It doesn't "sound" like anything.

[Feimorgan]

Very very amazing!

[hofmor]

Wow! very good!

[AlizeRosenkreuz]

i like the lyrics the beat also ^^

but i dont understand what the lyrics meant, can anyone tell?

[archassassin007]

Yeah this is one of the songs on this album I cant completely decipher. The verses and the chorus imply that he has met a girl and understands that it is a temporary fling but the bridge is what confuses me. The bridge alone is well written and profound, but doesnt match with the rest of the song. Whats your idea?

[Rockindocs70]

@archassassin007 its all contradictions right? so maybe she was a contradiction? or maybe she cant blame it on anybody, since there isnt anyone to blame on?

[fade2green]

Phoenix is the shit...they should rock diapers.

[CSmania1991]

ur not a shit?

[jayk4eva]

Just getting into Phoenix and am absolutely loving them!!!

[OBSESSEDwithINCUBUS]

haha same here. am so glad to see them at rock am ring this year............. =)

[vernonasian]

[AndreiArdelean]
