Sometimes you hear a song that makes you appreciate life, music and art so much. This is it.

Used to listen to this when I was at my new duty station in the navy, I was single and unsure of my future. Now I'm married, financially stable, and in my career. Thank God for this fantastic music.

Love the synthesiser parts in this track. wow!

So I hear Francis the first time because of his work with Chance and Cashmere Cat. I left it for a few weeks and now I'm going through and listening to everything. And I haven't even payed attention to the lyrics of this song yet, I just keep coming back for that instrumental. It is so moving to me. Nobody will probably ever read this but I had to leave a comment just in case...I see all the other comments about the video, which damn, it's cool, but this song, I love it

That backflip at the end is undeniably impressive, but my favorite part is the entire lead-up to it, all the tiny movements perfectly synced and the tunnel of city buildings in perspective...man, the whole thing is just GORGEOUS 💜✨

Songs like these have the rare potential to make moments special.

There's something very charming about this man and his music.

i was feeling pretty ok about being able to pull this dance off, then the olympic routine at the end happened

this song gave me strength when my life got pretty dark a year back. I had just lost both my parents and was in a bad relationship, and this song pulled me back from the brink into creating art and chasing my dreams of living life as an artist and putting positivity back into the world. anyways... thank you Francis, my brother

I am getting all these good vibes from Francis and the lights, Great Music!!!!

you are a goldmine of emotion. your lyrics are so raw and yet the rest so polished. i'm compelled to listen over and over, to catch the nuances and words and differences in what you say and how you say it. thank you for this and for everything.

just when I thought you couldn't get any cooler.. that backflip is legendary

He's not like the rest of us. I mean that in the best way possible

My boyfriend dragged me to your set at bonnaroo a few years ago. This song came on and I immediately fell in love and transcended into a new dimension for a whole 3:36 mins +

The way he walks reminds me of Edward scissorhands. I love it

Favorite track on the album. Met him in Minneapolis. I will never forget. I am completely and utterly smitten with him.

Francis' sound is a whole lifestyle. It was such a blessing to see him performing and dancing around at the Sunday Service I took my family to. I remember yelling "that's Franciiiiis!" from the front row floor seats as he nonchalantly vibed and few people around us understood who this beautiful genius was. I couldn't dislike this music if I tried. I feel so passionately moved by his choreographies and sometimes like thereof. Haha. As I struggle through some mental health things currently, it has been a lifeline. Truly.

minimalism at its finest

I love Francis Starlite. So much man. He was the most innovative artist on GOOD Music and he's from Oakland bay area. He's always dancing too

Guys should make a whole movie with music like this like I like to see it in a motion picture

Love how the cameraman at the end is like "...aight man, Ima head this way, see you tomorrow"

3:13 sends an electric shock down my being.

His movement reminds me of Kate Bush and his sound of Phil Collins. I love 80s music. New fan!!

When I need positive vibes to hit hard I just listen to Francis and the lights

For me this is the hottest record IN THE WORLD right now

Wow! So glad I discovered this song through the documentary.

Was waiting for that crescendo part of the song. Vintage F&TL, i love it a lot. Newest replay song.

Francis, you are a legend! We're waiting for you to come back in full force and dazzle us with your lights!

Where have I been and why haven't I heard of him before? I'm so glad to be here now. His voice reminds me of Peter Gabriel and Nina Simone. Adore.

Probably my favorite music video ever, if not in my top 3. The simplicity of the video lets it be interpreted in so many ways while in the city that I love and miss

How was this song not more famous when it came out???

Just been introduced to Francis and lights via radio 1 with his song, may I have this dance!! Listening to his other songs I love how much he reminds me of Phil Collins!! Brilliant singer and I can't wait to hear more from him!!!!

so glad that I accidentally clicked on one of his songs 3days ago & now I'm confused on how I lived without this soul filling music he creates. lovin it

I highly suggest this song for solitary nighttime walks in the covid-19 stillness. It gives me chills

These videos make me extremely happy

I get chills from all your music, but this one hit me differently. So many levels of love for this song/video/you!!

The Album is hard as hell, much love from Kansas City , Mo. Glad to see the album released, reallying digging it. You guys are great, I wanna see some of those funky dance moves.

a couple of years ago i discovered, the until then actively ignored, bon iver. it was the artwork for 22, a million that hit me and made me curious. the dirty, glitchy sound along with the art hit me, changed my reception of music. it didn’t take long until i discovered u and this very special song. someone mentioned phil collins in the comments and that is exactly what i felt. back in the days, when i discovered u, i worked as a bartender and it always felt that i was the last person in the city who was awake. so i always walked home on the streets and listened to epic songs of lonely summer nights: the streets - blinded by the lights, phil collins - in the air tonight, kavinsky - nightcall, college & electric youth - a real hero, just to name the four most important. after i listen to your song for about 10 seconds i knew it would be one of my favorite songs of all time. my intuition didn’t disappoint me and even after all those years your song really hits me deep. i still can’t stop listening. even spotify said i’m crazy about you. see her out was two years in a row my most listened song and is part of every year’s top 10. thank you! thank you for your amazing art!

With this, and the Friends video, I think you've honestly perfected two extremely "simple" ideas for videos to an art. The surprises that are embedded in them are just so much fun. Much love for your work right now!!

absolutely beautiful song

Phil Collins + Peter Gabriel + synthesizer + perfection = Francis and the Lights

The netflix documentary brought me here

Will be voting this my #1 On this years triple J hottest 100. Hauntingly beautiful song! Bon Iver, mixxed with Cut Copy! SO MUCH LOVE !

What a terrific duo and set of songs. Wow. "Francis and the Lights" such an intriguing name!

This song is absolutely beautiful, so glad I found it

Every single song of yours is pure gold! I'm absolutely in love with everything you've done! I can't turn you off nor will I turn you down! My absolute forever favorite ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The beat at the beginning, I'm sold, like it instantly. Song and the music video vibe is very good

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. And I grew up in the video age. Brilliance

Just discovered "Francis and the Lights". Music is wonderous. These videos are simple and mesmerizing, perfect!!
