  • dat lightning on his face is so epic

  • classic tune, great band, and very underrated

  • Incredible performance!

  • I love this part more than anything: "I love the feeling when we lift off "

    The vocals, the drum and guitar. Unf. *fangirls* Lx

  • The drummer looks awesome.

  • They remind me of Interpol.

  • That song is good but did get a little boring until it kicked in near the end. I can't wait to see them next week though and no matter what happens I'll be bouncing around even if no one else is.

  • :)

  • Bassline is a slightly quicker 'Rebellion (Lies)'? Anyone?

  • @Crandasher Yep it sounds like that.

  • one of the best songs ever written imo, absolute genius!

  • bit boring as compared to how they play nowadays, but it's okay cuz they're amazing 

  • drummer is hawt

    

  • I first heard White Lies a few months ago playing support for KOL, thought they were so good i bought the album next day, its really grown on me but cant shake the similarity thing with the killers, may be just me but thats what i think especially on this track. Another great Brit band tho has to be said !

  • @Benjiboyo21 Hmm poor shout on the Killers part in my opinion..

  • @INickV7 The Killers have got worse and worse since the first album, Hot Fuss and Sams Town were good, the last one was awful

  • @Benjiboyo21 deffinitely just you...

  • The drummer is really hot. Also, they're amazing.

  • This song is so utterly lame and unoriginal.

  • @Ylviste You ever tried making music ? Its really hard...

  • @jazzmastaj It is hard. But that doesn't mean people should settle for the first unoriginal piece of crap that comes to them.

  • @Ylviste I think you know shit about music. Death is a very popular song though.

  • @12kwiet34 What does popularity show about the quality? Nothing. Transformers 3 just brought in over a billion dollars at the box office, that doesn't make it a good movie.

  • @Ylviste If it really brought in over a billion dollars it just has to be a good movie. Means the people like it.

  • @12kwiet34 Oh my god, if you really think that, your arguments have no validity whatsoever. If it brings in a billion dollars, it means that a lot of parents go see the movie with their kids who are impressed by a trailer full of explosions. And if an adult comes out of the cinema liking Transformers 3, then he just hasn't seen a lot of films.

  • @Ylviste Don't wanna be rude or something, but sounds to me like you are to old for things like transformers 3 or white lies. I can understand older people aren't really enthusiastic about this. No offense though

  • @12kwiet34 Yes age has something to do with it. As you get older and listen to more and more different music from the past you understand how unoriginal and utterly not special the White Lies are. 

  • @12kwiet34 im 17 and agree. Money means nothing in terms of actual quality. Infact in todays world its usually the opposite. Cher lloyd was recently at the top of the downloads chart...

  • quando ouvi esses caras pela primeira vez,surtei...puro rock ingles...muito bom,parece outra decada...parabens para quem postou o video.

  • wow... I'm stunned!

  • why 23 people dont like it?

  • @bootsskype

    I'll make it 24, how about that?

  • @bootsskype because is lame

  • His voice is completely intoxicating.

  • awesome vocals, have a very edgy Joy Divison/Editiors sound, but better!!

  • song is good, sound is good,vocal is good but they don't have spirit

  • @tenoretic

    right, no spirit at all and that's why they are so popular. easy listening.

  • @tenoretic define spirit?

  • Remind me of joy division, a bit.

  • sounds brilliant live, just brilliant

  • 3:31 tom cruise

  • I saw these play on Monday (30th may, they were supporting kings of Leon, who couldn't praise them enough)...what an amazing band, it was the first time I was hearing they're stuff & I just instantly loved it, they awesome live :D

  • Boss mode activated.

  • @rozroz93 alright! :D

  • 23 PEOPLE CAN LICK THE BACKEND OF MY BALLS!!! ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES! WL

  • @nathan3660 LOL!!!!!

  • 23 people can lick the backend of my ballbag.. one of the best performances!! WL

  • Favourite part of the song is the keyboard solo. Brilliant tune.

  • These guys remind me of Editors....

    This song is quite good, though. I like how it builds up.

  • The drummers a fucking bad ass

  • I think this is BETTER (I know, seriously?) than the actual track.. I think he's made it so personal with the emotion in his voice.. LOVE IT <3

  • LOVE.

    

  • 3:32 -the best

  • Hard to Believe this was almost 3 years ago. White Lies have changed my view on Music Completely, This is real music!

  • This is so Great! like also Glasvegas! If you like these bands maybe you like also Action Man League. You can find few songs of them from my profile!

  • are you guys also fans of Glasvegas? just found out their new album EUPHORIC /// HEARTBREAK \\\ is going to be released digitally on 4/5 :)

  • qwality

  • Who's the girl at 2:26 ???

  • @GeankDOORS Martha Stevens

  • you mean that old woman?

  • WOW, that was amazing.

  • I'm such a huge fan of White Lies. I very rarely hear newer bands that are not played on the radio. I was watching one of the summer festivals on Palladia and saw them play "Farewell to the Fairground" and I was hooked.

    Being a fan of Joy Division, I can see some parallels, but I don't think they rip JD off in any way.

  • @VegasPatriot1 It's funny, in an Interview they don't even consider Joy Division one of their influences. Which is shocking, because of the close resemblance.

  • @GraveRiot I think I saw that same interview after my post. In fact, they say they don't even like Joy Division, which I find funny.

  • Joy division influenced...? absolutely brilliant.

  • This is the greatest song ever!!!!

  • So awesome song but i dont know Spok had son drumer:D

  • Im wearing pants

  • nice...! The Screening are the only band that have this quality too

  • nice...! check 'The Screening' - Redroom

  • wat the fuck is to "dislike" about this? (22 people suck in general)

  • You are in the Charts nr. 1 !!! in FM4 (Austrian Radio)

  • 3:18 highlight

  • @MrNoahHaas absolutely agree, powerful!

  • Heheh...I kept expecting to hear "I got a feeling, woohoo!" in the intro lol

  • Definition of perfection

  • Im going to go see them :D

  • their music is so simple but so good

  • Who decides which route we take?

  • They're so good live! Just like the track. :D I was kinda worried they would suck live, but this is awesome. :D

  • EPIC.

  • Awesome!

  • it's so sad that 'indie' looses its meaning from early 90's this music is schematic

  • I don't know why, but they remember me Misfits. Does anyone agree with me?? Or it's just me??

  • The drummer is nice !

  • Youtube fights are like the special olympics kiddies...

  • @madbob73 Beautiful on the inside

  • @madbob73 haha so true......no matter who wins, you're all still retarded

  • @madbob73 I believe ya. because you're clearly always having them to know that

  • brilliant.

  • I know everyone is comparing Joy Division to White Lies but I'd like to point out that bass line is straight out of "Shadowplay" by Joy Divison...

  • Editors are better, Joy Division are better than both of them and New Order are shit... Goodnight ;)

  • @eLECTROLOSIS hahaha New Order are hardly shit. Just a different style of music than Joy Division, they moved in a new (good) direction.

  • @eLECTROLOSIS Just because you say "goodnight" doesn't mean the argument is closed or that you're not a dumbass. Because the fact is, you're still a dumbfuck who doesn't know anything about music. And the Editors are only "mediocre", so suck it fag.... Goodnight ;)

  • @bloodymental

    I wonder if you have ever heard the word 'Opinion'... Even so I know more about music than you.

  • @eLECTROLOSIS Ya, it means one's own personal belief, statement, or personal interpretation about an issue. However, you're using the word 'Opinion' as an excuse to shove your beliefs about a certain style of music down other people's throats, which isn't right.

    And considering the fact that I've played at least one musical instrument or more since the age of four, as well as having majored in a music business degree in college, I think I know more about music than you.

  • @bloodymental Nice Googling' my friend!, The very fact that you tell me not to express my opinions whilst lashing out at me is contradictory at the least. I'd also like to inform you that academic achievement has nothing to do with musical achievement... Your argument is ridiculous. Obviously as most Americans do.. You attempt to police the internet through some 'God given right'. Oh and... May I ask you.. Have you ever been/ are you currently under a recording contract because I am.

  • @eLECTROLOSIS Just because I know the definition of a simple word like "opinion" doesn't mean I used google search, yahoo search, wikipedia, or any other search engine means to find out its meaning. But despite me having spoon-fed you the definition of the word opinion, you still don't seem to understand it. The moment you begin forcing your "opinions" on others, you're saying that your"opinions" have become fact, law, or are absolute. Sounds kind of like a tyrannical dictator doesn't it?

  • @eLECTROLOSIS I'd also like to point out that nowhere did I tell you to "not express your opinions". Because you mentioned this, it tells me you have a guilty conscience about something or that you realize I'm right and you are wrong. And it's funny you say "I'm lashing out at you", because weren't you just doing the same thing by telling everyone that the "Editors are better, Joy Division are better than both of them and New Order are shit."?

  • @eLECTROLOSIS And lastly, I'd like to point out that academic achievement has everything to do with musical achievement when your major is a degree in music. Considering that my grades in my music classes were based largely on my skill and performances, I'd say you're pretty damn wrong about this one.

    I'm not "policing" the internet in any way, I'm just putting some poor fat-fuck retard who feels compelled to spew his idiotic opinions to everyone in his place.

  • @bloodymental I love the fact that you've responded with 3 comments... Obviously I'm getting to you and the way that you've responded with the different comments makes you look a little silly ;)

  • @eLECTROLOSIS Or maybe it's because there's a 500 letter limit per post? If there wasn't a 500 letter limite, then I would've typed it all in one post. Perhaps you should explore all sides of your argument before foolishly going head-on into an unknown situation, thus making yourself look like a dumbass.

  • @bloodymental Haha, you still don't get it. You must really love White Lies..

    Just look back at your first response to what I posted and you'll see what I mean. Challenge people on their opinions if you think their 'wrong'.. But animosity gets you nowhere.

    I promise you there is someone that looks like a 'dumbass' in this conversation and I don't believe it to be me. Im bored of replying to you now as-well :/

  • Oh My God.........Seriously???? They sound just like the track! Perfection!

  • @dee468 thats because this music isnt hard to play

  • @rock2loud4u It's not hard to play, agreed, but that's down to good song writing, and in this case a really good tight drummer with an excellent sense of timing. Whether they wrote it, is another matter.

  • @burtr whats the question about whether or not they wrote it? as a band surely its their own original materiel...

  • @ceejaydoyle I think the bassist writes their songs

  • @dee468 THAT is because you are watching talented clever musicians and not some manufactured and shrink rapped pop group of pointlessly arrogant little girls/boys... :)

    Rant over.

  • @dee468 do you think the white lies sound a little likke of u2 death song absolutely brilliant

  • bloody amazing!

  • I went watching snow patrol for my girlfriends birthday present and these were supporting, honestly, it was the best waste of money I ever spent, worth sitting through 2 hours of mediocrity just to listen to 3 songs of near perfection

  • I do not understand how people can be so closed ears and centrarce in stupid arguments. I do not see anything in this band like Joy Division and much less than The Killers, are completely off. It's the same when compared to Joy Division whit Editors, an this with Interpol, in fact I love Interpol but I've got some of nuisance because of these comparisons, love interpol and more Editors. I can understand that, open your ears and just enjoythe music, the real music.

  • joy division + the killers = white lies

    i think like that

    so good

    white lies!!!!

  • Endlich mal eine TOp Band. Die machen gute überlegte Music und nicht so ein Stapfscheiß,wie die Boygrups.

    Macht weiter so. Gruß

  • fuck lady gaga or justin gay bieber... this is music wich is so great....

  • Y U NO COME TO BRAZIL?????????????

  • @flpcross coz you no is speak engelisch

  • i like white lies and as well i like joy divison i dont limit myself or opinionate i just listen :)

    chill outt

  • White Lies just do everything so effortlessly: their tunes are magnificent, and they never seem forced or contrived, their live performances are impeccable, and their lyric writing has got to be better than any new band out there that comes to my mind right now. They are superb, and completely underrated.

    Plus Harry McVeigh's voice is brilliant.

  • @oldmoviemusic I agree with you 100%

    There is some thing about his voice. I love it!

  • 19 people suck!

  • @moltendarthvader no... just no.

  • @TopCatLewiii You can't prove my statement wrong because it's called an "opinion."

  • good stuff. they look like the hives. especially because of the bassist using a pick. and the drummer looks like the lead singer of crystal castles.

  • is it just me or do they bare an uncanny resemblance to Joy Division?

  • Has anybody seen them play live? I was wondering if I should try and get some tickets to see them.

  • Love,,,Love will tear us ap,,,

    JD was my first ,, aeee,,,, Think? as i see this band,,,sry

    G from Hamburg

  • all the way through i waiting for him to go for it, its mint

  • If you rate this look for The Teardrop Explodes, and Julian Cope! Albums- Kilimanjaro, Wilder, World Shut Your Mouth and St. Julian.

  • Saw White lies before Muse in Bergen last week... They was amazing live!

  • @musewaldemart Yeah. Same here. Did think that they would be okay, but the really blew me away. Great energy and they really enjoyed being on stage. Bet they got quite a few new fans there! :D

  • Men with voices like that should never restrain them. I was willing him on to get louder. Brilliant stuff

  • Is it me or these guys sound eerily familiar to Interpol? It is not bad, just that there is already one band being Interpol already.

  • Everyone compares indie rock bands with deep voices to Joy division & synthpop bands with deep voices to depeche mode. they set the standard for many bands for new styles of music. i hate people that say they sound like this or that. who cares. its still great music. they are fans of those bands anyway & can relate to them. let them put out music influenced by them. do we not love music like joy division & dm? these new bands are putting out the music we loved that stopped during the early 90's

  • i srsly love this guys <3

  • Thumbs up if you hate 18 people who disliked !!

  • @deadTV666

    so i heard this band can be compared to joy division.

  • I know its pretty obvious but even before even hearing these records I could see they were like a new almost punky, hugely joy division influenced band/

  • The killers weren't put together by a record label- I f you watch them live athe royal albert hall, brandon explains how they were formed.

  • white lies = white lies

    editors' singer = ian curtis --------> joy division

  • Joy Division

  • I love them. I love them. I love them.

  • White Lies-Death (Johnny Endless Live Cover) Check our live cover.. thanx!

  • @faketales1 Yeah, i will agree that Hot Fuss was a great album but after that i wasnt really interested, but nevertheless; White Lies are great. ^^

  • @faketales1 I've heard from a few people/ sources that they were put together by a record label to be a manufactured band, I would be fine with it if their image was better, but the thing they have made then into just looks bad. The lead singer wearing a coat of feathers doesnt exactly strike a chord with me. but just my opinion.

  • Who actually gives a fuck about a band doing it for money or not. Hot Fuss is one of the best indie albums of all time. Therefore surely if your good at your job you derserve more money, i dont see why everyone always goes on about 'ohh they're not init for the music', if there not but are making good tracks what difference does it make.

  • politicalcorrectnessjustaband.­blogspot

  • I guess you could say it sound like if Joy Division had a baby with Interpol and it shaped up to be influenced by the cure

  • reminds me of the Killers if they were actually good...

    great song

  • @PENGUINP94 the killers are awsome....don't know what your talkin about they sing indie rock so it sounds weird.

  • @andreacancer4 lol, the Killers are an artificially made band, thus are doing it simply for money. Thats the main reason why i dont like them. Though i do agree that their singing style is similar and that the 'indie rock' singing style is often depicted in this way...

  • you can see the comparison to joy division in the way the song is sang. but jd never had this kind of production....it's more similar to new order late 80's/early 90's. absolutely f&*king amazing song!

  • Chuffing rite song!!!

  • I like it!

  • @CerizSurlgatOw

    Yes This song is so Awesome !!!

    *O* and the voice of the singer is unique!!!

  • It's march.

  • so haunting, I love it !

  • Why is so much attention dished out on bands like the Arctic Flunkies when there are better bands like the White Lies making music?

  • @onepinkrose easy it´s because people don t want too much of a choise they like it simple and that´s what arctic monkeys and else do...i like both bands but i think White lies got a much better sound to listen to

  • @onepinkrose I like the Arctic Monkeys but the White Lies are much better and need so much more credit.

  • @chloedabell you can't really compare the two, they're completely different. the only similarity i can find is that their both brilliant bands which don't get enough credit for how good they are (i know arctic monkeys debut did, but their last two album's have been worlds better)

  • check The Lost soldiers out

  • sooo good live!!!

  • of course it sounds like joy division. in fact it s the only band right now that id compare them to. its just because they use bass a rythm guitar, have sad lyrics and use early synths..
