LYRICS:
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere to go
Many years ago
Would you allow?
Could you allow?
That’s what they’re like
Did you look?
Did you look?
Heavenly, heavenly sort of sounds adolescent
Well I told you not, not to look from the start?
When the sun is almost gone it’s way too much
Enough said
Enough sense
It’s unconventional
When the sun is almost gone it’s not enough
Suddenly, finally without a yell I’ll listen
That’s what we’re like in broad daylight
Soon you’ll realize
It’s after midnight
My memories, souvenirs, some originals
High up in the rows
Idolized, canonized
That morning rise
I told you not,
I told you not
No veneer behind the mirror
Did you call from a distance?
Well I told you not, not to look from this side
When the sun is almost gone it’s way too much
Enough said
Enough sense
It’s unconditional
When the sun is almost gone it’s not enough
Suddenly, finally without a yell I’ll listen
That’s what we’re like in broad daylight
Soon you’ll realize
It’s after midnight
Listen it’s illicit
Listen listen it’s illicit
Listen listen it’s illicit
Listen listen listen

Many years ago around 2006 I was in a pawn shop and bought a DVD of Lost in translation starring Bill Murray and Scarlett johansson. Somewhere in that movie You hear too Young by Phoenix play. That's where the journey started for me LOL

I don’t know how Phoenix keeps doing it this good after all this time.
The chorus need to be put on repeat… the song is criminally too short !!! ❤
Definitely the best song of the album to me.. it has all that right kind of vibes from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and Bankrupt mixed together

I'm almost 58. I've been listening to Phoenix from their inseption. l love them because they remind me of the times, in my young life, when music was played on the RADIO. They has a nostalgic power pop sound that is incredibly infectious.
The marriage of music and video here is just breathtaking....wish it didn't end so soon!
Fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. It is also the kind of song my brother would have loved. He passed 5 years ago and I still can't get over it. I don't think I ever will.
Im 32 years old heard them the first time in graphic design class in highschool by one of the "cool" kids hahaha been listening ever since and they still move me
Scenery is Shinjuku, Akihabara, Rainbow bridge, Metropolitan Expressway and more. I love Phoenix a lot. Thank you for feature to Tokyo,Japan!!!
This song just slapped me in the face. BEAUTIFUL 🤩
Phoenix is my favourite band of all times!! Thanks for your music guys, today is a day of joy!! Please come back to Perú 🇵🇪 on 2023!!
One of the best off Alpha Zulu, stunning music video; fits the song perfectly.

Yes, a lot of energy. Very 80's.
I honestly didn't identify that much with the album Ti Amo (2017), although I followed and listened to everything. Alpha Zulu reiterated that Phoenix will never stop being good, there are moments that remind me of It's Never Been Like That, after Alphabetical and United. Thank you, I am very moved by the feeling that this album causes me, beyond all, happiness.❤
I lived in Tokyo for 5 years and I can say this is a pretty accurate representation of how it feels
The song, the clip. Damned, I didn't felt emotions like this for years...
Only found these guys recently, but I'm so glad I did

I don’t normally get this amped from a song but I don’t remember the last time I heard a song this good.
It really was a great music video and perfectly matched this equally amazing song. Gonna go listen to the album on loop now!
Alpha Zulu is an incredible album! What a gift. I agree with other that this is one of the best songs. I love that I am able to listen to the album from start to finish without skipping a single song! Just like the last 3 albums! Thank you for the consistency, Phoenix! ❤M
My god,I cannot wait 'til tomorrow....
Those shots are stunning! It fits the song so well. Smiling the whole time
this video deserves 1+ million views, i cant stress that enough

Gracias Phoenix por existir, su música me hace querer vivir la vida
Desde que empecé a escuchar a Phoenix sentí una nostalgia rara, indescriptible, como si conociera a los músicos desde años y cada vez que sacan nueva música lo sigo pensando más y más. Es súper raro. Por fin los podré ver en Lima, Perú el próximo marzo de 2024 💙

Funky Squaredance by Phoenix. Look it up. Such an under appreciated song. God that song was my life for over a decade it feels like. A 3 part, 3 genre sonata-esque masterpiece that was so incredibly ahead of its time Happy to hear new music from Phoenix. Always happy to hear new jams from old friends.

Le groupe Phoenix est vraiment un bonheur. La vidéo est sophistiqué à foison et ne parlons pas du son qui est juste pro . C'est fantastique. Le groupe semble tellement avoir de bonnes influences musicales . Ils sont forts. Bravo.
Hell yeah another pheonix song to listen to over and over, I must have played alpha Zulu 500 times by now!
Dear godddd this is incredible. Feels so nostalgic. I’m in love.
I just know I'll cry my eyes out when I hear them playing this song live.

I was on an edible when I saw them for the first time in 2017 in DC and definitely got emotional during Lovelife. This would be the same! Melancholy bliss
One of the best, period. Beautiful stuff.
Ive rediscovered Phoenix and this track makes me wonder why I drifted away from them. Absolute tune. Gonna have to check out their new album.
how is he not on trending?
Five months late but damn!!! Thank you, Phoenix! Love seeing this evolution.
Beautiful ❤ song . This is how I feel when I was on the road as a truck driver ❤ when you look . Time passes fast
Twenty years since I first became aware of Phoenix through Lost in Translation, it’s great to see them back in Japan

Gotta be one of my favorites from this album so far
maybe their best song i fear and they have a lot of those
This is the first/only song by Phoenix I've heard (to my knowledge) thanks to @alexrainbirdMusic. I appreciate the 80's style drums (I think it creates the "nostalgic" feeling another user mentioned) combined with the modern vocal engineering. Excellent song, folks. I'll definitely look up more of your stuff.
Was not a fan of the new album until I heard this live! So goooodddd!
Phoenix did it again this is awesome
It's good to know they're back. They are one of my favorite bands ⚜️

Phœnix c’est un peu ce super vieux pote qui s’absente quelques années et quand il revient il a un peu changé mais il est toujours aussi cool.
Absolutely beautiful video, I can’t stop watching this ❤
I love their vibes, make easy my life
TI AMO PHOENIX
Drive !!! 💜
The song + my favorite car of all time, damn the combination kills me with joy.
Hey guys, I've known you since the album "Alphabetical" and saw you live in November 2009 in Cologne at the E-Werk and the debut for "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix", the best album ever. That was a great event and since then I've been your fan and listen to all your records. This is a great new song from you, congratulations!
Este tema deberia tener miles de millones de vistas, insolito
In the good moments, in the bad moments, Phoenix.
En nombre de Phoenix México quiero decir: Gracias Phoenix por ser una banda tan increíble y felicidades por su nuevo disco "Alpha Zulu" ♡ Los amamos mucho y los esperamos de vuelta en México 🇲🇽 ¡VIVAN LOS PHOENIX NORTEÑOS! 🤠
