Parquet Courts - Berlin Got Blurry (Official Video) 

“Kind ears captive to the beers you’ve purchased” What a brilliant lyric

I own a hard wood flooring company and I have just realised that Parquet Courts are my new favourite band.The irony of it is that often times I hate parquet flooring but ultimately I love them as I do this amazing band.

I love everything about this song. That chord progression, that silly bassline at the verse. But god, words cannot express how much i love the lyrics. If this song were a woman i would absolutly be afraid to talk to her.

The artistry of the "yeah" down the phone is top notch.

"nothing lasts but everything lingers" S'true.

Parquet Courts are very underrated

A. Savage lyrics always seem to hit soft targets i didn't know i had

“Feels so effortless to be a stranger but feeling foreign is such a lonely habit” describes exactly how I felt for the first 3 years after my family moved to a new state. God I wish this song was out when we moved here

Nice song Thomas Müller

What a great song. His mouth looks exactly how he sings!

Great memories there. Berlin in my heart forever. ❤

This is their best song yet damn

this is one of the best songs i've heard in a long time

I wish I were in Berlin now.

What a great song

Love the spaghetti western breaks.:)

I went to the Nelsonville Festival near Athens Ohio to see Connor Oberst with my sister. After the show, I stumbled(literally) back to my hotel room and I met these guys. Great dudes and the best band I heard at the festival. Thanks for the cool experience guys!

love the motown style bass playing going on in this track

Met Andrew Savage after a gig last October. Asked him whether he'd seen more black guys at his shows, must have been the single most stupid thing I have ever asked someone and I can't apologize for it.

The new album is going to be tremendous! Great tune fellas.

60 dislikes? Damn. What do people want from this band? This is a great song.

Love the fassbinder vibe ❤

If it stops? I’m counting on you!

AOTY Instantly fell in love with this one

My favorite song of 2016

These guys just keep on impressing me. Really hope, and inclined to believe, that more great music is to co.e from them.

LIked this from the first second

funny how it charms you that teutonic frankness is some lyrical wit I've never seen

crushed it. blessed.

Clash, The Specials, Violent Femmes.....Parquet Courts are a throwback band in the best way......

These guys are freakin AWESOME....They sound like Elvis Costello and Squeeze got together and had a baby...

Damn... that bass ⚡️😍⚡️

My homie reminded me the other day that I wouldn’t shut up about this song the year before I moved to Berlin. Here now, and it’s quite something to play this tune on late nights on the trams, up and down the straßes 🥲

😍😍😍😍 My favorite song of 2016

Love Parquet Courts and love this tune

[Verse 1] Döner wrapper done right, an extinguished Crotch of a rollie inside yellow fingers Nothing lasts but nearly everything lingers in life Cellphone service is not that expensive But that takes commitment and you just don't have it It feels so effortless to be a stranger But feeling foreign is such a lonely habit [Bridge 1] You can't crop yourself out of a picture You're out of focus but still framed inside [Chorus 1] Well Berlin got blurry And my heart started hurting for you [Verse 2] Loud mouth living got you some attention And second chances given without doubt 'Guess you've got a history but it's not worth a mention tonight Kind ears captive to the beers you've purchased Sipping through scenes of plastered confession Telling pretty stories, is it your sole purpose? Telling everybody that you learned your lesson [Bridge 2] But no one's falling for that nice guy bullshit They waited years, you can wait one night [Chorus 2] Well Berlin got blurry When my eyes started telling it to [Verse 3] Funny how it charms you, that Teutonic frankness Listen and it arms you with a new type of patience Maybe it alarms you because it tastes so familiar and wild French fries, hot dog, ketchup, main ingredients Swears in flawless English it's the best in town Funny how a sameness can not be distinguished Strangeness is relieving when you point it out [Bridge 3] But email, poems, slogans an example Of three things I can't unify [Chorus 3] Well Berlin got blurry As my thoughts all hurried to you

Ive been a backpacker myself and have visited Berlin twice. It's an awesome city. The best in continental Europe, IMO. I think the clip captures perfectly the vibe of the city and its weird visitors (Adam Savage on the clip and myself in 2014 and 2015): -Eating doner kebab in a sloppy way on the streets -Walking through badly lit streets (it seems that Berlin people and public services dont care about good lightining on the streets at night. haha) -Talking on the phone to someone -Taking the U-Bahn with the Brandenburger Tor patterns on the glass window -Having trouble using the paid laundromat -The weird/cool bars we can visit, where you can have so many beers and make Berlin literaly get blurry. (I dont know if this is the meaning of the song) -Being an awkward foreing person trying to enjoy the city, but sometimes not being able, cause you are just too shy and awkward.

Yes! So happy I got the preorder, April come sooner!

La escucho desde chile 🇨🇱 la mejor canción ❤️

My hometown! Great song, great city.

It's already hard to envision a better rock album this year. At least, the two official releases have set a lofty bar. I haven't heard such upbeat music from A. Savage since Fergus & Geronimo and Teenage Cool Kids' first two records (which I urge anyone who hasn't to check out), even though the subject matter might not be so joyous, tongue in cheek implications aside!

This one sounds a lot like the Clash (particularly the vocals.)

i live in Berlin since 12 years. cool song. goof band.

Amazing lyrics!

I discovered this band on Courtney Barnett radio this band is amazing then I found primus also amazing Jesus Christ I’m finding the most amazing performers ever

These guys are Greeeeat!

You can really tell Savage has an affinity for David Berman. Both the song and video are very Silver Jews-y

I think i'll start cutting my hair with a bowl again.

Great song fellas! Has that timeless feel to it. Not quite sure why but the energy and vibe of this song reminds me a ton of Minor Threat's "Good Guys (dont wear white)". I believe that is nothing but a good thing. Cannot wait to hear the new album. Parquet Court's songwriting gets better and better!

pre ordered

suena en radio doble nueve Lima, Peru

this song is so groovy ahh CAN'T WAIT to see y'all at Bonnaroo!

These guys have just cracked the U.K 100% I love em

such a fucking rad song

Spoon. Woah I have never thought of that band when I heard Parquet Courts till this song.

YESSS

Approximating perfection

It sounds so different to the early tunes, but still great! it's fantastic to not -doitallthesame- . Congrats! Will you fellas come someday to Buenos Aires Argentina?

Welcome back, gents. Looking forward to the full album.

i love this song

Got here because of the Nelsonville Music Festival, got there because of Ween. Anyways, I am really looking forward to seeing this band. I think they are really good!

Love that riff

Great band

I love savage

That's just wow

Somebody likes The Clash of a whole lot. And they're absolutely right to.

fantastic

yeah!

They sound like The Stranglers, love it!!!!!

What is Elvis Costello and the Clash and Squeeze made a record??? It would be awesome!!

Excelent!!!

The opening riff (and the same riff scattered throughout) reminds me of Kids in the Hall

Yorkstraße!

this is some real drinkin music /

Хорошая песня!

Best spaghetti Western inspired music since Scenic's "Incident at Cima."

You killed it on this one!

Good tune

That chicken shop near kreuzberg park is so so good

so much like the Clash it's criminal. Damn good song.

Very Elvis Costello.

Quite a strange song yet it has a certain charm!

Here in 2022. Heard them on Catfish the Tv show. Any new music?

My favorite Parquet Courts song. Sad because the rest of the band isn’t in this video.

Reminds me some Paul Weller's songs from "The jam" era.

It s a kind of magic....
