  • people are afraid to merge on the freeway.

    best line from the book less than zero, makes an amazing song lyric too. the combination of brets writing and keles voice is amazing.

  • Live the dream like the 80's never happened<3

  • lol about the shit ad in the beggining

  • Wow, i haven't commented here in 8 months, this sure brings back memories. Fuck the WMG.

  • I agree w/ Archangel385

  • or search iconomy

  • Youtube has officially become shit

  • join spotify 2 listen 2 free music. btw this is not spam. just trying 2 help people who cant listen 2 the music they want 2 on youtube

  • We can still hear the music, you can't kill the music, we can still hear it.

  • ou maaaan shit ive searched so long for a studio version of this great song and those bastards disabling the audio. but thx for the try to upload it =)

  • fucking copyright protector assholes dont want you to hear music...FUCK COPYRIGHTS!

  • y would they even keep the video up then? teh ghey

  • Fuck, the audio has been disabled, what a fucking ripoff!

     FUCK COPYRIGHTS!

  • agree

  • You agree with me, thanks man!

  • east london is a vampire it sucks the joy right out of me

    such good lyrics

  • the guy on the far right looks like tom welling.

  • dude...I love bloc party

  • found another bloc party song to play over and over and over :)

  • This is a good song, but it sounds a lot like New Born by Muse. Bloc Party is a great band!

  • huh?

  • i agree. it definately has new born influences

  • This is a really great song. So many twists and turns.

  • magnificient!

  • if you read less than zero while you listen to this, it's almost overwhelming. my dream is that one day they'll make a FAITHFUL film adaptation of the book and use this song it.

  • Right on man. That fucking movie made me want to tear my eyes out.

  • I totally agree. They obviously did not pick up on the mood of the book at ALL. This song does a much better job of understanding what Ellis was trying to say.

  • this song is a reference to field mashal douglas haig from the first world war , the intro is all about how haig had long been suffering from depression and ended up sending millions of men over the top to their deaths. BP All the way.

  • its really not.

  • lol where did you get that idea?

  • oh yeah, i see. it makes sense.

  • BP; coolest band around, so diverse. Long live the BP!

  • not a huge bloc party fan, don't know much about 'em (feel free to flame me) but the title of this song is a reference to an amazing book called Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis. Clay is the protagonist, and one of the recurring motifs of the novel is a billboard that he keeps seeing that says "dissapear here." sorry if someone said this already, just find it interesting. =D

  • no dont be sorry , very interesting what you just said ;)

  • i just sorta noticed that the intro for pretender by the foo fighters sounds alot like this...im not saying anybody ripped anybody off its just a lil similar

  • sounds like the hidden track off 'what are you listening to?" by the kinison, but im not realy arsed. chooon!

  • @hungrykillerspoon well noticed ;)

  • sounds like an interesting book

  • Retard.

  • it is very similar to new born, they are influenced by them, but iwouldnt say they are gay.

  • well kele is gay but not in a like your gay in a he's homosexual way

  • what lol, that makes no sense. hes manly gay is he??

  • i mean es not the insult "your gay" i mean he loves other guys way. or so i have heard. anyway this is definetly my favourite song

  • lol ok. reading you load and clear :)

  • oh heck yes

  • and Ellis' last work "Lunar Park" (also great) referres to the song and the words from the novel... a book of life, I say)

  • why do you say that?

  • yes it is

  • I never heard this song before today, but liked the book so checked it out. I didnt expect it to be so good, nothing against Bloc Party. Also it's vaguely "New Born" ish, but still Bloc Party

  • Less Than Zero. <3333

  • it's hard to cover... but nice to hear ;)

  • this song was based on a book if you didnt know :)

  • yep less than zero

  • I also have a song called disappear here.. it hasn't been recorded yet but you can see me play it live in my videos...

    it's in no way a ripoff of the bloc party song, we just read the same book.

  • hmph, pretty good song. but sounds a little TOO much like "New Born" by muse. i came to listen to this song cuz i heard it was heavily influenced by tht song, at least by bloc party's words...i think it sounds a little too much like "New Born" tho...still good tho.

  • I kinda see what u mean! i do love muse and new born is one of my favourate songs, but i feel that this is certainly its own awesome song!

  • wtf u tlkin bwt cleetus???

    Yeah, I see, or rather hear, the similarities, but they're both amazing songs. This song has place in my MSN name atm. :)

  • You must really like this song.

  • I love Bret Easton Ellis.

    I love him even more now, since he created the inspiration for this song to even be created XD

  • Nice song, im trying to learn it on my bass right now :]

  • I love Bloc Party and I love this song!!

  • I love this song

    Bloc Party are the most exciting band in a while

  • i love bloc party

  • Kelee is bisexual I think, but /care if they make good music imo

  • nope, kele just wrote a song from a gay persons perspective, but he himself isn't gay.

    Franz Ferdinand did something similar with the sing "Micheal".

    They just explored the're lyrical creativity by putting the barrating in a different perspective!

  • sorry haha, I meant narrating not barrating!

  • like a dramatic monologue. PUtting yourself into another persons mind.

  • this song is so brilliant !

    bloc all the way !

  • Uncalled for as far as I'm concerned.

  • Budding intellect of course.

  • Okerere's falsetto is cringeworthy.

    I still like them regardless.

  • no offence but i like the old bloc party better this is just my opinion

  • wow great song!its more mature..

  • it means like ppl h8 music frm 80,s? i duno lol help us

  • i love bloc party and went to see them the other day, but I don't get what the lyrics 'Live the dream like the 80s never happened' anyone out there know what they mean?

    xxxx

  • It is comparing life today when people have alot of disposable income to spend compared with the 80's when there was high unemployment, recession and poverty. Well thats what I take from it.

  • okay, thanks :D

  • it's an allusion to Bret Easton Ellis' novel "Less Than Zero" and the apathetic lives that the characters lead. you should check it out, amazing book.

  • oooh okay. thanks :)

  • Man, I love this song.

    Bloc Party is my life-energy. XD

  • wtf

  • GOD- that's it...

  • shut up no fan its mymopiniom there the best band in da world so leave us iindie fans alone! go 2 ur R A B

  • dis is da best bloc party song!

  • I agree XD

  • although the demo version is... heavenly, imo ^^

  • powerup151 so wat isnt it the tune da matter and how old r u

  • bloc party is really not my kind of band... but i do kind of like this song because it's about Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis. An amazing book that people should check out--------- Disappear Here

  • best fucking book ever written

  • best band ever! I can imagine that they are the sort of band I will tell my grandchildren about when saying how music was in the good old days...lol :D

  • Played on Ben 10: Race Against Time Trailer.

  • powerup151 so wat isnt it the tune da matter and how old r u

  • I love this!!!

  • I think it's too bad Bloc Party haven't made a video for this song yet. I really think it's one of the best songs from A Weekend In The City

  • The first part's definitely not my cup of tea but later on it quite like it. That's one of the funny things about groups like Bloc Party and the Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand, the Strokes and the like... you have to listen to something like the first minute of the song to really determine whether you actually like it or not. I think that they're brilliant overall honestly....

  • this is one of my favourite songs ever! I was listening Bloc Party when I was on a trip and now when I hear this song it reminds me all of those beautiful places I visited...

  • this is my fav song by bloc party! and my fav song ever ! i rele cant understand y bloc party did not release this as a single?! the blastin of the guitars,genious!

  • FFS STOP GIVING ALL THOSE DIRTY CAMTALK COMMENTS ON THE CLIPS OF BLOC PARTY

    darn pedofile or whatever it is in english

    freakin maniac!

  • yea this song is bad ass

  • Love this song!!!!

  • Oh how our parents suffered for nothing

    Live the dream like the 80's never happened

    People are afraid to merge on the freeway

    Disappear here

  • A great song, I'll go a Bloc Party's performance next october in Spain ;)

  • one of the best songs on the new album. Together with "uniform" and "hunting for witches".

  • only got the album a coupla weeks ago, but each time i give it a listen it grows on me more and more. good solid brit rock.

  • Bloc Party are in top form on this tune.

  • OMG I love this song !

  • this song was in the promo for the ben 10 race against time movie

  • The way it builds up and then the drumming kicks in..

    Too good

  • Like, the best bass line I've ever heard apart from much of Arctic Monkeys;p

  • KATHERINE I SEE YOu

  • This band's just my kind of music. Nothing rough or soft. Indie Rock FTW Metal is....well... getting to close to FTL if i listen to what's on the radio recently

  • Worst band? LOL

    That isn't even a sense of taste we're talking about, if you say something like that you don't know SHIT about music, read me? Bloc Party. is great and within this and few years they be headlining every festival. But ok, have fun with your good music. Probably heavy metal or so .. as that is such great music

  • It's definitly a matter of taste and I don't like it either, but I would not say, it's shit. It's just not my kind of music.

  • Really Sick Song!

  • first minute isn't very good, but after that it's just great!

  • the first minute of this song is wonderful.

    what a great way to start of the album.

    without the intro it wouldn't be such a cool song.

  • The song is great but only one picture?

  • there sick love BP

  • brilliant!!

  • Quality song. In small doses this band are great.

  • magnificient!

  • love this song!!!

  • This song seems perfect for those movies where the character kinda goes through shit and reaches a breaking point then decides to go down swinging

  • omg this is fucking great, thanks for sharing.

  • Every song Bloc Party composes is great.

  • listen harder

  • uber... bloc party rocks

  • This song was even better live. Zomg, Bloc Party <3

  • Is it even possible for them to not make a great song?, almost all the songs i've heard by them are amazing!

  • brilliant song indeed

  • brilliant song

  • twat

  • gosh, i worship them! xD

  • one of my favourite songs by them....that the prayer compliments and helicopter

  • awesome
