France - Carl Barat

[SayGroinAlot]

This song is beautiful and touching regardless of who sings it. It just so happens it's Carl Barat and due to that is a perfect two minutes of music

[1Chancho2]

So django-y, especially the solo on the recorded version of the second album

[SmotPoker09]

weeeeeehh

[b4rker]

Simoncoweld can kiss my swingers.

[ohcloudyday]

wow.

[SIMONCOWELD]

he cannot sing and is guitar work is beginer standard over hyped nobody

[mward1995]

@SIMONCOWELD He can sing. And the fact that you cannot spell "BEGINNER" tells us you're either ten years old or thick as shit. And either one shows that your opinion isn't valid. What do you know about guitar? I've been playing fifteen years and I can tell you that this song isn't for "BEGINNERS".

[12345smith67890]

@SIMONCOWELD you're a cunt

[delangdelang]

@SIMONCOWELD why don't you find something better to do than criticize great music you clearly don't like, you must have a boring life...

[AndrewKnows1]

@SIMONCOWELD His bank account begs to differ.

[SIMONCOWELD]

utter rubbish lyrics very nursery rhyme sounding crap

[TheSuperFishNemo]

@Dommydomswims Yeah, me too :D

[TheSuperFishNemo]

It was really touching when you first listened to the likely lads and then it got all quiet, and you didnt now what was going on then suddenly this started playing... wow...

[actuallyactually]

@TheSuperFishNemo definitely the best way to hear this i totally agree

[grappa0]

I just love it, the best version, so bittersweet...

[Jimbob8499]

WOW! This Song Is A All time classic - Absolutly Outstanding

[theinterestingsydney]

oh god.

[99Sox99]

Amazing :D !!!!

[lilianafallen]

This is a glorious piece of perfection. What an incredible guy! My replay button sure is popular.

[TheTommccann]

Now thats what I call AMAZING MUSIC.

[Alissou26]

Does someone know what chords he uses ? :/ (Or other chords for this song.)

[Copey0009]

@Alissou26 bminor, G, E, F#

[Alissou26]

@Copey0009 Thanks :D

[Kusinjean]

@Alissou26 Bm G7 E F#

[addicted2music365]

@Kusinjean

The first post was incorrect. These are the right ones.

[nilsonwheels123]

Just saw Mr Barat perform this at the Scala...Bloody amazing!

Never thought I'd get to see this sung live. 'France' and '9 Lives' are up there with any of the best Libs tracks IMO.

"Choking and smoking to your angelic soul,

Joking and smoking myself in to a hole..."

Incredible.

Just a shame his newest stuff's so bloody boring.

[adamyoungxD2009]

I hope that one day I will be able to write music like this

[michaelkirksmith]

just saw him in liverpool about an hour ago n this was incredible!!

[itsyourpenis]

same and i jizzed all over my laptop

[mcasa09]

looks like peewee herman

[malloon182]

I just love how we can hear his breathing. 

[10counttoten]

omfg how beautiful and lovely he is!

[anaroms]

I love it *-*

[lanoviadepetedoherty]

ooh carl!!!!!!

[evitalun]

I just had multiple orgasms...

[vollSPeciAl]

@evitalun

youre not the only one.. aergh..my boyfriend aswell ;)

[joshmateer]

does ANYONE know where i can get the audio to this exact version

[polow77]

si seulement....

[Boppa83]

@joshmateer

It's on last album last track you have to wait abit then it starts

[joshmateer]

Boppa83 thankyou for the response, but i meant this rolling stones version, the version at the end of the last album is diffrent i believe

[Beckedorff]

this song is on "Legs 11", a demo disc of the Libertines, i don't know if it's the the rolling stones version, but is a bit different from the music at the end of the album

[Boppa83]

It's only slightly different in fact the album version has guitar solo bit. but it pretty much sounds same!

[21LondonCalling]

@joshmateer If you download Real Player you can download the video and convert to MP3 format. That's what I did. Other than that, I'm not sure where you can get it.

[Catskills88]

it's at the very end of "time for heroes" or something

[kakathemainman]

likely lads**

[nidecastro]

@Catskills88

it is at the very end of " what became of the likely lads"

peace

[diegodoherty]

I can play it!!

=]

[lsbentes]

so? fagget

[FromEldorado]

Where did you find chords? And text. I'll be grateful. Greetings from PL

[diegodoherty]

I can teach you

=D

I learned by my self

[FromEldorado]

Great xP When? :)

[woolzytheindieboi]

I think the breathing fits in the song as its an emotional song, kinda like putting passion into it

but hey, thats just my opinion

[totlolrofl]

He should breathe into the mic a bit more tbh

[o1a2s3i4s5]

carlos, you're my hero!

[MademoiselleLucija]

the most beautiful 2 minutes i've ever seen

[hellohxcful]

vive le carlos,

doherty for president :)

[Cuandoeslachupa]

lol doherty for prince jajajaja

[katkasemanova]

sweet... who did the lyrics, him or pete? I heard petes version of this song...

[ScarletxCrimson]

Carl

[EverSinceYou]

love this

[nikolaango]

He is more sympathetic then doherty!

[kmylo4]

but pete have that "thing"!!!

[LeonardaDaReicholl]

vivan las metáforas, coño!!

VIVA CARL!! ^^

[elpatronmex]

he wasnt libertines leader he and pete were..they were partners

[tommyenglish1]

@elpatronmex still are :-)

[robinbarat]

He was Libertine's leader. ♥

[fluffyemu]

Co.

[SupersonicLena]

im dead now. I LOVE HIM

[cheifess21]

corrrrrrrrrrr

yum

especially the breathing

and the voice

and the face

and the general Carlos Ambience

Beauty encapsulated within 2 minutes

[Barrackas]

thats some heavy breathing at the start lol

[SeanieBlahBlah]

I used to think it was me as I listened to it before I realised..

[ScarletxCrimson]

How is it annoying? It's a bonus track? How can MORE music than you paid for be annoying ever?

[ScarletxCrimson]

Calm down, my God. No need to start tossing insults around, which I know can be so tempting from the security and anonymity of a keyboard. I didn't say a single thing that was offensive, it's not hard to answer in a decent manner.

[kumparica]

I'm in love!!!

[JulliaWar]

FRance (l)

[ykonstanza]

one of the prettiest songs evah.

[numerwan]

ha has the face of an angel!!!

[Natigirly]

the song is awesome. i loooove it! i could hear it thousand times..xD

[glennyyo]

it's a hidden track on the album "The Libertines" not up the bracket.

[MiguelTimber]

MAN I LOVE THIS SONG!!

plz someone can give me this song?

fucking genious!!

a litlle of pete would work very nice :P

[TheQueerTrickyThing]

I'd die for him... For BiLO and BiGGLES

[TheDreamOfCheese]

i'd die for them, too :) together with my arcardian dreamers <3

[MadFrankTheRipper]

seek help!

[Imy47]

Great song by a legendary artist

[Jarle]

The best song off the second album.

[LoadUpOnGunz]

France wasnt on an album..

[Jarle]

That's not right. France was on their second album "The Libertines" as a hidden track after What Became of the Likely Lads". It was not on their debut "Up The Bracket".

[d2h1]

Its a bonus track on the second album, at the end of What Became of the Likely Lads!!!!!

[jodiejodjod]

this is perfect

[killerkarpfen90]

albion is pure poetry but i like the chords and melody of france much more

[killerkarpfen90]

did carl or pete wrote france? i mean the lyrics

[SunInYourEyes]

after what i've heard it's about an old girlfriend of carl's. i assume the lyrics are by him.

[killerkarpfen90]

yes i thought so too...on the babyshambles sessions he plays it three times and it seems to be "his" song

[SunInYourEyes]

yeah, well i'm pretty sure that's how it is :)

[JAMIEFORSTER]

yer, this to carl is like what 'albion' is to pete. I prefer albion but thats just me.

[Privento]

Does Pete have blue eyes?

[085825]

haha, XD.

[sweetlolamara]

PRIVENTO.... LOL.... of course you're just joking... LOL

Pete's got an "unique shade of brown" LOL

Lola.

[blueloins]

great song and a great singer

[bananabrains16]

i love this song so much. kinda reminds me of someone.

[westicle123]

he breaves well heavily before singing at the begining, this song is sweet :D

[RubeculaRobyn]

perfection. ♥

[00zestrokes00]

I think we've got the same guitar <3

I <3 the lib's

^^

[maximusv1]

No.. no You havn't.

[Seandaman99]

What Guitar?

[TheDreamOfCheese]

Ich habe Angst davor :(

[TheDreamOfCheese]

Er soll wirklich aufhören, so eklig zu atmen!

[lorikeet88]

such a hottie. oh mama mia.

[lkasflapytrs]

this is like my favorite video on youtube

[chloeL]

Dommage qu'elle soit si courte, elle est si belle.

[TheDreamOfCheese]

How can you sing life soo perfect? :)♥♥♥

[TheDreamOfCheese]

Er soll aufhören, so eklig zu atmen :D:D Aber die Stimme ist geil, perfekt, genaus wie das Lied ♥♥♥

[nadirdone]

[gbemvenuto]

he dries a tear in the last sec of the video

[Twidye]

Magnifique... Cette chanson est sublime.

On ne peut s'en passé.

[kamczu666]

his voice is amazing...

[tropicalscrot]

seen dirty pretty things live and compared to babyshambles they are literally nothing

[angelofury88]

u mean shambles is better than dpt? just askin

[tropicalscrot]

i have to say musically carl is probably better but the atmosphere babyshambles give off is just incredible, but yer i think babyshambles are better

[kelster2]

Seconded. Carl Barat is beautiful!

[00dom00]

CARL BARAT IS GOD

and i have to say, i think i prefer him to pete

[piratetelecast]

I saw dirty pretty things cover this and I seriously screamed like a little girl (well not literally, but it was that all warm on the inside feeling). This is an awesome vid though.

[DominikHigh]

[hesja]
