Bloc Party- "This Modern Love" (acoustic on sidewalk)

[Kento617]

Just when I thought I couldn't respect this band more, I find this. These guys are just great! If you can turn a rock song to an acoustic one, then that is one awesome song!

[palexminear]

love this. but I have to know who was here and didn't know who bloc party is. and why they had the luck and not me?

[fattybergeson]

I wish I was in a band that played acoustic versions of their songs, on sidewalks outside of pubs in Europe.

[FonaFiona]

Do you know the names of the sangers??

[SleepingGiants1]

@FonaFiona The band they are from is Bloc Party, but the individual singer is Kele.

[Mastersword27]

OMG ITS MOOT FROM 4CHAN AT 3:16

[MrOom87]

and you told me you wanted to eat up my sandwich :)

[mmamilano]

probably one of the best videos i've ever seen on youtube.

[slicknick2122]

@ 1:18 "I'm really gay"

-That's what it sounds like Kele Okereke said under his breathe, I'm pretty sure . .

Doesn't matter to me sexuality has very little to do with music..

Just wanted to point that out .

[qwertyjoeful]

i would sell my left testicle (lefticle) to be there

[ukfcallum]

my favourite part about this video is it doesnt have 70 million views. and you know its amazing!

[radumester]

were you there ? or where do you have the video from?

[thepistolpete916]

amazing video and one of my favorite songs of all time.

[Maxiincredible]

ik houd van jou

[IEatCray0ns]

To who recorded this and edited it: you've made this magical.

[xnicob]

fuck those french baguettes kinda FORCING him to do it. i mean we're all glad that he has finally done it, but he says about 3 times no!

gtfo!

[fegolas]

He sounds so nervous.. Kinda cute

[bengochea64]

Did you hear the guy in the back moan at 1:34? lmao

[pupusaman619]

@bengochea64 His voice makes all want to moan in bliss.

[adamgergich96]

i love the guy at 3:15, just like wtf hahaha

[TheMarttuus]

where do these 3 morons come from?

[Mattis10000]

That's what you call a "Magical Moment".

[vandands]

Now that's what I call a bloc party :)

[digamos]

too good to be true

[bukowskishasta]

does anyone know what camera was used for this?

[kurumu575]

I want his adopted baby's..

[Atomicjango]

@kurumu575 lol is that from scott pilgrim?

[kurumu575]

@Atomicjango you bet your sweet ass it is :D

[terenceokane]

hes obviously hesitant at the begining but its great how much he enjoys it by the end. smiling like crazy

[FriendlyRangerSteve]

This may be the single most beautiful thing I've ever heard.



[SimonNono]

BEST!!! :)

[Sixtiesera]

3 Haters Missed the Like Button lol Beautiful Song

[saptarsidas]

magnifique !!!

[hippolulu]

@ skyecross Serious WTF! that would be sick if you really meant it

[poweralma]

beautiful :DD if this ever happens to me i prob crap my pants!

Bloc Party <33

[JonteKrok]

This video IS the modern love... So beautyful!

[phough2345]

2:42 on... 

[buiwashere]

beautiful version :) c'est parfait!

[halfofalmost]

easily one of the coolest video's i've ever seen. hopefully one day i could share a candid moment with them as well.

[MrSusanhorse]

Toooooooooo gooooooood

[Unit117x]

Why did they have to take a break! God bless bloc party!

[Marina88000]

This is the COOLEST thing EVER.

[IzzyyIndieKid]

I love Russell :D

[DEATH2REALITY]

wowwowwoowwowoowowowowowowowoo­wowow great vid

[habid88]

AWESOME!! genial version of my favorite song. One show a baig artist!!!

[RobrechttPiano]

Lol @ 4:52 : heeee xD

[TheSesameStreetGang]

I'm not even a big fan of Bloc Party, but this is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard.

[BlackPrince555666]

they are so awesome.

One of the best bands i've seen live

I love them <3

[blocpartyrocker]

Lmfao.

French people.

ROFL.

[blocpartyrocker]

"I'd l-l-looove to sing you a song. L-l-let me get my guitarist."

<3

[superb111]

I like the fact that they dont let the fame go to their head. They remember that the people are the ones that got them on top. So they gave everybody a halftime show at the pub. Bloc Party is great! Two Thumbs Up!

[mecha001]

Love this guys!

[henreque]

Potentially my favourite band of the last decade? Silent Alarm was the first album I ever fell in love with. Nothing beats these old Bloc Party originals....

[MillerChick80]

amazing!

[JulOyt]

"Will you play 'two more years'?"

"No way" - Kele

lol, Why??

[NR92CP]

It's an intricate song that definitely requires two guitars, bass, drums, and backup singing.

[woobia]

@JulOyt

Probably too difficult to do acoustic. Plus he said he had a sore throat, so maybe too hard to sing.

[trooper2393]

jaja from 3:06 to 3:12 you can see Gordon and Matt staring like " we are a band mate.."

[ilaughindooors]

i want this song to go on forever.

[MediaPepa]

I love it<3

[32100sam00123]

not many well-known bands would do this,only this is a reason to like this band

so much

[bcard123]

this is brilliant. gives me chillz down my back.

[missiises]

it s so naturly

[elpinguin]

Dommage que se soit vraiment très mal filmé !

[bensparasite]

just those two should make a live album where they go around and just playing their songs in alleys and behind bars to small crowds lucky enough to be there.

[posh915]

yeahh.. i start to cry around 4:00 ...lol..

[dandansailorman]

i looked at one of the related videos to this, and i think it was a set up, the acoustique devant.... one, im not sure though, any idea?

[EXTREMEANIMALS]

This is one of those videos that reminds me why Bloc Party is my favorite band.

[thekookykooksrun]

Love this song! Would have been amazing to be there.

[skyecross]

I would sell my entire family into Thai slave trade to have been there for this. That would be a decent trade.

[burtonbro417]

@skyecross no you wouldnt lol immature dirtbag. anyone who doesnt appreciate a single part of their family and would agree on your dumb comment is worthless and needs to grow up

[slicknick2122]

@burtonbro417 I'm guessing he was joking. Anyway: Chill the fuck out . . and enjoy the music .

[burtonbro417]

@slicknick2122 im guessing your not enjoying it because you replied to my comment. i posted it a month ago i dont give a shit

[blacklightrocker]

i wish i was there

[32100sam00123]

this is so nice :o

[Styllolostsound]

beautiful. one of my most favourite songs of all time.

[dandansailorman]

[clownprince0]

[darude100]

koo video, there should be a dvd with bloc party songs acoustic

[iluvpigs123456]

i love it when the guys steps ouside for a fag about halfway then hes like wtf...bloc party?

[Polaroidelocura]

[gymnastkelli]

[DigoMafia]

[Jikel7Bob224]

Haha, at the end he says in French "I don't regret having to bother you"

LOL

[hugofount]

This is amazing I love the Bloc so much nd being at something like this would make my life really.

[Welsch1989]

I hope that something like this happens to me someday...

[cheesepleaseisall]

wouldn't it be perfect?!

[Welsch1989]

Of course, it would be.

[minikukula]

I love how genuine this is, just chilling out on the street!

[p4trici0000]

a perfect song, a perfect moment and a very good edition..

[rusvan]

this makes me cry EVERYTIME.  it's hopeless to watch.

[mrflyyn]

so awesome. he seems so chill. just performin outside of a pub just one random night for people. definitly something very special. dope song.

[WoolyJoe]

I love it when Kele just says "Let me just find a guitar player..." and he comes back with Russell. And then he just starts up This Modern love.
