Kele Okereke - New Rules

[Sharpoon1]

lovely

[pugggs]

who cares what they are wearing... close your damn eyes and get lost in the talent.

[TheMrTimP]

Sounds nice! Anyone got the tabs?

thanks!

Greetings from Holland.

[Kento617]

I think Kele should collaborate with Mount Eerie. That would be a really nice album right there! =)

[Tbroman]

@nzskatehamburg Since when is a Jersey, shorts and a hat considered "gangsta" clothes.

[Kento617]

@Tbroman I don't think it was meant to be an insult. I think he was comparing what he was wearing with what rappers wore in the 90's. I don't think they meant to offend anyone

[bomba27]

@Tbroman since its a Detroit Pistons Jersey!

[Kento617]

@nzskatehamburg hahahaha really? you know what? dang me neither lol =)

[Kento617]

Man this sucks, I can't hear nothing! *Realizes it's on mute* Wow, what have I been missing!? I SERIOUSLY need to learn to fingerpick. He is really good! This sounds so peaceful. Makes you want to ..... to....ZZZzzzzzzz =)

[banditgrl]

Well as long as you're a dude you'd have more of a chance because Kele is gay lol

[Deftybenth]

what bball jersey is kele wearing anyone?

[wilderdash]

@Deftybenth Detroit Pistons yo.

[arthurhawkins1]

Anyone knoe where I can get guitar tab for this? love the song

[Kento617]

@arthurhawkins1 Click on the video "Kele Okereke - new rules (cover)." The guy in it says "If you want tabs, message me on e mail." I hope this helps you in any kind of way. =)

[ThePeasantsrevolt]

mmmm very pleasant 

[Stuartcgsb]

well i'd bang her

[XFifiBEEX]

I WANT HIM!!! <3

[marti120]

id totally bang him, respectfully

[TheCortlandtHomes]

@osker450 @smshw Whatever. Just an opinion! It doesn't help that I loved (and still love) Silent Alarm, and have strongly disliked everything else Bloc Party and Kele have done since. Again, just an opinion

[MOSS722]

Her voice doesn't work...

[osker450]

@MOSS722 course it does also check there other song Kele Feat. Lucy Taylor - What Did I Do Wrong

[MOSS722]

@osker450 I don't like these kind of voices. A voice like Beth Gibbons, for instance, would give more dignity to the track...

[sh3llka]

<3 ...

[anitaspra]

thumbs up if all the cross fades make you dizzy and sooo unnecessary..its a slow acoustic song, not a rock concert. whoever produced this should get a spanking

[smshw]

@slidenaway worst logic ever.

[slidenaway]

Um... how ridiculous would an American look wearing British football and cricket jerseys and hats? Pretty fucking stupid, eh? Then Kele should NOT be wearing fucking baseball and basketball gear. He looks fucking stupid.

[osker450]

@slidenaway clothes are clothes you idiot

[carlo88moe]

aww, kele's lyrics and expressions are always so melancholy...love this dude

[MXCRT5]

He writes the most heart melting songs.

[ricardoaguillen]

does anyone else ever wonder who are the bastards that dislike videos on here?

[BMFSTONECOLD2]

@ricardoaguillen The rest of bloc Party and their manager if it stays at 4!

[zoxea77]

enorme ..c est le minimum et encore il est tard un ti peu tiser coup de blues et tout et tout..tu connais..lol...bises a++

[KuntaKinteBiaatch]

I think Kele is gay... and sooo cute haha

[Vitisve]

@KuntaKinteBiaatch So you're saying, if you write emotional songs, you're gay?

[KuntaKinteBiaatch]

@Vitisve No! but I know that kele is gay and I like it...he is a really good looking man. And he also speaks about his homosexuality in some songs...but it is not really important that he is gay I dont know why I posted that comment lol I guess I had a crush on him...

[Vitisve]

@KuntaKinteBiaatch Haha. Oh I didn't know he was really gay! I'm a straight guy and I also think he is good looking, but a little bit too self obsessed if you watch his album covers haha!

[KuntaKinteBiaatch]

@Vitisve hahaha yes the self obsessed album covers all came after his outing lol

[takabono04]

come back, don't foget Bloc party...

[JCHMusicable]

I love this

[TheBizzle280]

dont understand why all the british artists go running off to live in america even though theyve already made a ton of money. i mean yeah its a cool country but england isnt that bad. bit self contradicting when he says in one of his songs 'stop being so american, why cant you be more european'.

[halfstrike721]

@TheBizzle280 they come to america for bigger opportunities not to "be more american"

[TheBizzle280]

@halfstrike721 thats not the reason he gave for moving.

[Shortipper92]

Whos the chick?? i may need to do some further "research" on her later :)

[totomrteacher]

Her name is Lucy Taylor

[MrElliram3003]

Has he switched his permanent residence to the US by now?

[toenail12345]

kele is such a chap!

[djpj22]

The vocals aren't 100% spot on amazing, the guitar is a little bit iffy at some times, and yet, this is one the best acoustic performances Kele's ever been in! So heartfelt and excellent, especially the vocal harmony with the girl's voice, anyone know her name?

[DATATECHNIQUE]

How do you have a New York Yankees cap and a Detroit Pistons jersey .. and be taken seriously!!!

[froggyismyfriend]

@DATATECHNIQUE  well whos laughinh

[rocknrollcrafts]

@DATATECHNIQUE I think you can only get away with that when you're english! ;)

[ilovekeleokereke]

@DATATECHNIQUE because its Kele Okereke.

[dairesibai]

i dont if it's me but like... it feel wierd watch kele with any other band besides bloc party, like he's english for one thing and he's wearin' all dis american gear(not hatin on americans) but it is a good song and all and hope it does him good to be out of the band for a bit but he has to go back!

[JuhQman]

keles grin in the end is one of the nicest things I've seen in a while. So cool :P

[CrazyKuuGuy]

is it just me or do they seem like reallyy awkward people? 0.o

[GrayIsBeautiful]

@CrazyKuuGuy awkward is beautiful!

[hyderulez94]

@CrazyKuuGuy and? he plays guitar well :D

[FoShO129]

This should be on iTunes..I just searched for it, wasn't there. I'm dissapointed.

[Jensleman]

camerawork and editing really sucks. how come that everybody thinks he can shoot a video???

[thesaltwar]

@Jensleman probably the same reason everyone thinks they have a proper grasp of grammar.

(just to point the finger at myself as well, i misspelled grammar on my first go.)

[pocketrocketpony]

Kele is amazing, and it's nice to see him doing something from The Boxer with a guitar.

[ilovekeleokereke]

@pocketrocketpony It'd be SO much nicer to see him standing next to Gordy and Russell though :(

[xXshishamastaXx]

His outfit doesnt match the music at all

[Feiwbl]

@xXshishamastaXx He's just being himself thats all.

[samthebassman412]

@xXshishamastaXx Bore off mate, really.

[batmana2i]

man. this dude is great. i love to see my black people do other music then just rap.

[bbcapi]

LINDO!!!!!

[Matze5191]

50.000 xD

[shit311]

wanna say "yo man" in those clothes kele? jk

hes amazing as always

[Jahmario]

oh my god this song,these voices D: so beautiful i could cry <3

[freakazoid1978]

Beautiful. I'm a fan of both Bloc Party and Kele's solo stuff. It's really growing on me. I'm enjoying it more and more.

[Linguara69]

Nemám slov...krásna hudba, krásny text...

[Vsbobs]

yeah, it`s music, not clothing, but what do you all have against his clothes? o.o

it`s fuckin warm there, they sing a chillersong, how should he have been dressed? i think it`s ok.

nice song :)

[combatfuzzball1]

Dude sings the music he likes. Nice to see someone that plays acoustically . I think he did good. Something to relax too.

[ER720]

nice

[dexfeniks]

hey people,

could anyone please tell me the name of this girl... Lucy ... something? or what it is? i would so love to get to know her music, if she has some of her own. <3

[bradenanders]

i think it's lucy rose

[sassovalentino]

@dexfeniks She's Lucy Taylor. Her bands is called Citadels.

[boyinblue12]

I have that same guitar :) @hbesceli focus on the music not what he's wearing

[hbesceli]

[SKIDAROO]

[CoupZapa]

[creepfest]

[FoulOleRonThe3rd]

Kele is the Omar Little of music.

[wartree]

[choonhunter]

[wartree]

@choonhunter you mad? nigga

[Vsbobs]

@wartree i dont wanna read words like "nigga" when i hear to kele, but your right, he should learn english first ;)

[HajiToShirei]

@wartree what a racist son of a bitch are u fag

[Etiowoo]

Representing the old-school Detroit jersey. Awesome.

[Indymusicisthe11]

[LoveCiaran]

@Indymusicisthe11 Her name is Lucy and she's not just a pretty face.

[2000WTube]

@Indymusicisthe11

shut the fuck up donny

[lgjohnable]

hahaha, the big Lebowsky :)

[GE0R9E92]

@Indymusicisthe11 ...id bang Kele to be honest...

[juicyjohnbox]

@GE0R9E92

[frikodian]

@Indymusicisthe11

[bufu182]

@frikodian Your right !



[olivthetraceur]

@Indymusicisthe11 I think that's what kele did

[planesoverlames]

@Indymusicisthe11 that girl is fucking ugly, you guys who thumbed up are desperate as fuuucckkk.

[dayleomighty]

@Indymusicisthe11 he wouldn't though,,,and theres nothing wrong with that.

[djpj22]

This song sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it, bone-chillingly beautiful, great piece of cinematography too, the whole scene is just picturesque!

[nilelynch]

i love bloc party and always will do. but i love this piece of music just want to get a pint get a deck chair and chill out. i think it is a awesome piece of music, please tour with bloc party one more time !!!

[ptpnugent]

What is he wearing?

[ClearBlackWater]

@ptpnugent

Clothes

[StompboxUK]

I love the tree rustling in the background

[sexynojutsu123]

SInce he leftt Bloc Party, he's kinda confused, Image-wise.

Like come on, is he still indie??

You can't do acoustic in shorts and a flippin basketball jersey.

With a classical flamenco guitar :///

Ahhh mate.

As much as I love the song, I don't like kele's step away from indie.

[blueprints101]

@sexynojutsu123 He can dress how ever the hell he wants!

I personally like his style.

[LidGorgeous]

@sexynojutsu123 I think the outfit totally suits him - bloc party/kele... he's the same person

[MrSammo1980]

@sexynojutsu123 on Jools Holland he wore a flat peak and looked more like a rapper, is there an indie dress code now? no :DDDDD

[sexynojutsu123]

@MrSammo1980 only as much as there's a rapper dress code (Y)

[MrSammo1980]

@sexynojutsu123 ha touche

[kamsma15]

@sexynojutsu123  I focking love this man

[bloc22]

@sexynojutsu123 Dude it's people like you who ruin the indie image. At one point in time it was used to describe a genre of music and now people have turned it in to a style. Music has nothing to do with clothing you materialistic piece of shit.

[sexynojutsu123]

@bloc22 That was just profane.

All i said was the clothes never matched the style of his music.

I beg you just shut up man.

[Cherrybluetoons]

@sexynojutsu123 I am pretty sad about it too, he needs to go back to Bloc Party :(.

[HajiToShirei]

@sexynojutsu123 i dont like it too but I just hope they will make a new album . And I kinda like his new songs :) PEACE

[Browncoat1138]

Kele wearing a Yankees cap and Pistons jersey playing a delicate ballad on a classical guitar feels wrong... Yet oh so right! I love this.

[MsDickard]

no wonder he's gay he's obviously confused :) i mean Detroit Pistons jersey, New York Yankees cap and acoustic guitar?

But seriously he's just great! :)

[boochie1337]

Kele is the coolest mutha fucker out!

[sipson1000]

Kele you're my new rule but please don't forget Bloc Party !!! :'(

[RachelD1996]

@sipson1000 I agree, as much as I LOVE Kele's album, I want more Bloc Party songs :\

[ilovekeleokereke]

@RachelD1996 they're back in the studio in September...

[vup2]

@ilovekeleokereke he said it would be strange if they didn't release new songs during this summer

[ilovekeleokereke]

@vup2 well aware ;)

[eclectica1]

"Please hang up and try again."

[ricardoaguillen]

ABSOLUT love.

[redsxz2007]

Agree with Simona. You cunts should learn to appreciate opinions other than yours.

[comradenoscope]

@redsxz2007

You should learn along with "Simona" to respect an excellent song and artist before you come out with outlandish statements like "everything in this is average".

[redsxz2007]

@comradenoscope YOu should suck cock, honey. And realise others aren't always gonna like the songs you like.

[comradenoscope]

@redsxz2007

Well you're a perfect example of a complete idiot who enjoys engaging in blind swearing over the internet. Why would anyone appreciate what you have to say? And why were you even watching this if you don't enjoy his music? Seriously, just give things a little thought before you blast them over the internet

[redsxz2007]

@comradenoscope Ever wondered that I tried the video out? That a friend sent the link and the I proceeded to psot the comment? Comments aren't for fanboys like you only. And not my fault you suck cock.

[comradenoscope]

@redsxz2007 Comments should be for intelligent, level headed people who have something constructive to say instead of "I hate this, I hate that, I hate everything". Sadly I wouldn't put you in this category based upon your input so far, and it really isn't my fault you're so obnoxious and obtuse that you can't understand reason. As far as your concerned "you in some way relate to a penis" is your best insult; that really is quite sad. I'd predict your mental age to be somewhere between 12 and 15

[SnakeDeShazer]

That girls name is Lucy! I met her after the Kele concert in Denver, got a pic with her too! she was super nice!

[robbo978]

was just listening to everything you wanted which was great and hes got an amazing voice and so has the woman they both were sensational :)

[dos21977]

Wow, its so heartfelt when you see them actually playing it live. Amazing. And I LOVE when the girl starts singing her parts. Anyways one of my favorite songs on the album.

[MrYoyo1510]

she looks like she is in love with kele

so cute :)

[brianbadouino]

shes so cute :)

[JuhQman]

This track has grown to be the strongest one on the album. Even though I can releate to everything you wanted the most (lyricswise) this one is from totally another planet

[MSkatea]

He always looks so sad and thoughtful. Just want to give him a hug

[marcovito]

one of the greatest ARTISTS of our time people...

[LBGiestas]

@marcovito have you seen On the Lam, his new single????

I bet you'll change your opinion about Kele...

but if you say that Bloc Party is one of the greatest bands of our time I can agree strongly

[marcovito]

@LBGiestas You're right, maybe On the Lam is one of the weakest tracks on The Boxer, but I've to admit I really liked his electro-delirium!!! :-D

my comment was referred to his capacity to be so versatile and ecletctic... I mean, a great quality for an artist..

Of course bloc party represent another discourse, they really made history in my opinion, I can agree with the second part of your comment too!!!

[fuzzypanda36]

lol what is he wearing...?

[homePicShow1]

who's the girl?



[pieterdo25]

He should be spending more time in this kind of accoustic songs. I like it far better than the album...

[posh915]

@pieterdo25 i agree... but i suppose doing all the synths and stuff is creative and fun too... : P

i think it would be rad for him to do acoustics for some of the other songs on the boxer thoughh... : ]

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

@pieterdo25 yeah i find this to be better that some of the songs on "The Boxer"

[pieterdo25]

He should be spending more time in this kind of accoustic songs. I like it far better than the album...

[sammysox11]

i could listen to this allday i love it !!! <3

[mrtictac94]

"Oooh, that's that then... Take this."

[HarveyfromFlorence]

Is the city behind them New York ?

[NewYorkCityTimes]

@HarveyfromFlorence Yes, it is New York City.

[lily1235]

LOVE LOVE LOVE

[SimonaCowell]

Average vocals nothing special, the guitar playing was average, the lyrics were also average. Pleasant enough didn't hurt my ears or offend me.

[ASR1927NTNP]

@SimonaCowell Fuck off.

[KOLORBAND]

Make a better song, sing it and play it better and we will meet again...

[juniwilliams]

@SimonaCowell Had an average night with your mom

[poetlife]

Does anyone know if and where there is a download of this? so I can have it on my ipod?

[posh915]

@poetlife i believe you can go to a place called dirpy.com

[kingmauretania]

[PLATEOFCURRYCHIP]

[johnononj13]
