Queens of the Stone Age- "Carnavoyeur" (Lyric Video) 

This is the first lyric video where I can't actually read the lyrics. QOTSA always breaking new ground!

Nice too see all the other true fans hanging round for this masterpiece of an album

I've often thought that QOTSA could write a banging James Bond movie theme.

Nothing Nothing Nothing inside And there's no reason to cry Just fade away like love Clutching Hanging By a nail in this life Desperate always, always looks that way Free fall from the nest, then glide to the left A shine catch the eye, so flow to the right Flying high, realize, there are no more mountains to climb And there's nothing l can do Accept, enjoy the view When there's nothing l can do I smile Minutes Seconds So little time Give your secrets away? Well, whisper in my ear Every living thing will die From the king of the jungle to butterfly Only sin is Waiting too long When there's nothing I can do I smile I smile Free fall from the nest, then glide to the left A shine catch the eye, so float to the right Flying high, realize, there are no more mountains to climb We live, we die We fail, we rise I'm a vulture so I hear goodbyes There's no end to life On and on Always life On and on Always life

I truly can't wait for ITNR. The sound is so very different on this album, yet so familiar. Will ALWAYS have love for these guys!!

Josh was definitely born to win. I like how he overcomes adversity with some beautiful song writing and genius composition. Well done to the whole band really. I’m loving it all ❤

That chorus is mesmerizing.

Music reached its peak with Josh Homme. No person born after him will ever be at his level.

Bowie's influence on Josh is inevitable. In this song it comes to light. I celebrate that, Bowie is the god of Olympus in music, and QOTSA looks at him from below, not because he is less (I love this band), but because Bowie is very high up.

Some heavy "If I Had A Tail" vibes ❤️

After listening to "Emotion Sickness" 100x I'm happy that I have another one to get addicted to 🖤

Josh sounds more and more like Labrinth-era- David Bowie. I like.

josh is really getting spiritual in this one.... i really like how he talks about enjoying the ride of life and allowing things to fade. a really beautiful song.

Holy hell. Queens of the Stone Age is getter better with age. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.

Josh is totally channelling Bowie and i love it!!!❤❤❤❤

I love the approach of experimenting new effects and sounds. Can't wait for full album! ♥

This song has me ready to cry! The sheer sadness and beauty of it is overwhelming.

You came at the right time when all chips were down, and the Christian Brothers were coming to take my groove

This song clinched the pre order vinyl. This is a s tier banger from them. This album is gonna slap hard and for a long time.

Holy fucking hell am I the only one who wonders where the hell Josh's philosophical inspiration comes from?! "Just fade away... Like love." EVERYTHING fades away. Even love. Even things we cherish the most. We gotta deal with things getting away. We CAN'T control it. "Flying high, realize, there are no more mountains to climb There's nothing I can do. Accept, enjoy the view When there's nothing I can do, I smile" I mean, there's little to explain here. When you reach your goal, the only path you should take is forward. You can't just sit there on top of the mountain and do nothing. You pick another mountain to climb. So what to do when you finally complete all your goals? That's a deep fucking question. I once talked with a coworker of mine who has some kind of PhD in Philosophy, and asked exactly that: "when I reach all my life goals, which are not that difficult to achieve, what can I do?" He simply answered that when you get old, when you keep living, you'll always find something else to do. Another mountain. This part of the song gets me, since it considers the fact that you literally did everything you wanted to do. So, what next? "Smile", answers Josh. I fucking love this motherfucker. "Minutes, seconds, so little time" You guys know "Time" from Pink Floyd. I think it's all we need to think when it comes to our time on Earth. Interesting that Josh starts with minutes, THEN seconds in this verse. Basically doing a countdown. So scary when you think about it. We have so little time on our hands. "Every living thing will die from the king of the jungle to the buttlerfly" Well. He said it. Don't feel like you're special, buddies. Josh's writing is just my favorite. So many deep questions, honest answers, crazy reflections. From Songs For The Deaf, to Them Crooked Vultures, then Villains with cool as hell lyrics. I fucking wish Homme released a random book of notes and thoughts, and where he got them. Such a creative writer all around. Looking up to the new album!

Waking up to new Queens of the Stone Age music is pretty great way to start your day!

Listening to these cats brings me so much joy on the daily. I love this. 🖤❤️‍🔥

could this be the greatest of all songs ever written in the record of time?

Sitting as an apprentice electrician in my leading hands car talking about music and i had only just begun my journey at 19 post rave phase. He was keen to show me all the bands he loved and had loved. I mentioned a band i saw on tv and asked if he liked it. He pointed to the dusty corner of the windscreen on the drivers side and i could see the letter Qotsa written in the dirt from a sweaty finger from an unconcious moment at a traffic light. He started me on Avon and from then til now at 41 i havent missed a festival show or secret track. Not a desert session wanting. Always considered Joshua homme to be the pinnacle and the reason i learnt to write and play my own music. Im so thankful for all this band, however impersonable to them, has given me and all of us.

I think this about how sometimes shit just happens & we're not necessarily able to make heads or tails of what we observe, but we just have to accept it.

Hated Villains and this band went off my radar...now these two songs drop and it might be their best

I'm loving this stuff, can't wait for the album release!

The guitar part over the tempo change at 3:06 is incredible.

The mixing of this song 😮 next level!

It feels like a mix of everything Homme has done through the years. i really hope this is not the last QOTSA album

Best, most complex and complete band in history of music. What a masterpiece. So happy with the new music

Always a huge fan. This album is a beautiful surprise. Unexpected. Part of Josh’s genius is his ability to write, play and vocalise the dark and light of being human. Thank you this has been gifted during a time when I’m struggling - when many of us are struggling. Hope to see them in Australia soon. Hope Josh is healing.⭐️♥️

I must have listened to Carnavoyeur for the 200th time - and this track is so brutally pleasant and sad at the same time, like riding a bicycle down a steep hill, where you stumble on a rock, fall over and scrape your knee until it bleeds, but still feel the wind in your hair and want to shove bike again, even though you're horribly battered. I guess that's what life is like, for years you pull your bike up the hill to be able to experience something for a short while, even if it'll cost you an arm and the leg.

Brilliant! New sound blended flawlessly with their old sound. This is very haunting almost like a Cure song. Beautiful lyrics.

I remeber those exciting days in 2017 hearing Villians for the first time and got the feeling to close a flight right away to O2 London to hear that live. I did it a day before the show... And now i have the same fucking feeling again.

2023 is a banger year for rock!

Because of drug abuse and life being genuinely terrible back then, I've got the Villains CD still wrapped in cellophane from, what, August 2017, so when the new album is out I'll hear both, one after the other - 19 songs instead of 10 (or 9). Wahaha. Loving this new song, got all the hallmarks of classics like 'Wicked Game', 'White Wedding', and Tears For Fears vibes. Great way to end a trilogy 🙌 Close a chapter and turn over a new nug of gold.

This song is haunting. It got under my skin and I can't stop singing it all the time. Beautiful.

That intro is PERFECTION!!

Thank you, Josh Homme, for being so amazing! Can't wait to listen to the new album in full

I love this song. Some parts remind me of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak

"When there's nothing I can do, accept, enjoy the view..." Very clever use of "accept" instead of "except." Homme's wordplays and portmanteaus are exceptional. Or, if you prefer, acceptional.

I must say. I'm poisoned by this music, this is the musical pinnacle of the last decade. The notes, combinations and melodies, all organized in a brilliant way, congratulations guys. Looking forward to the release of the album.

Josh channeling Bowie with the vocals.

Yeah, this is great. If everything else is as good as what I've heard so far this is going to be one of their best

Reached a crossroads in my life where I'm anxiously waiting to see if I can depend on the job I like approving the raise I need to keep doing it and this song coming out the same day has tremendously eased my nerves. Thanks. Edit: I got it!

I absolutely love the vibe of this song. Josh's voice is raw but at the same time full of emotion. I cannot wait for the CD. 😊

I’m a fan of QOTSA I still have my Kyuss cd’s, the translation to QOTSA hasn’t left me disappointed. QOTSA just keep getting better like a fine wine! The start of the song had me thinking how much Josh sounded like David Bowie.

This will hit different, familiar and hard all at the same time. Can´t wait!

Equal parts haunting, heartfelt and hopeful.

Mesmerising, gives me chills. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

My heart will always belong to go with the flow

Homme. great love from Puerto Rico. greatest artist alive. never stop.

This song is wicked good, definitely some Bowie, Depeche Mode vibes to it.

Amazing song with a haunting sound. Sounds like Bowie and QOTSA got smashed together! Love it!

Channelling some 70's-era Bowie/Iggy in the best sense. I would assume the album/tour he did with Iggy back in 2016 informed some of the musical direction. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Debuted on my weekly personal music charts in June 4, 2023 edition :)

Wow. From the few songs I've heard so far the 2 and 3 part harmonies in these are next level musicianship. Just amazing song composition. Excellent music boys!

All expectations surpassed so far. My excitement is immeasurable

I love your music so much...The Muse obviously is always on your side.God bless you boys. 🙏

one of the dopest qotsa singles in a while imo

This music video is not hitting the mark set by QOTSA's prior work. This song deserves something more substantial

Good to grow old with these fellows

Are you even suprised? Im just suprised it took so long. This album is already turning out to be insane. Cant wait for the release so I and burn it into my mind 😅

this is what happens when your heart breaks

Wow, was just watching Josh do a Bowie number at Taylor Hawkins tribute,i think.. Mixing up genre's right there. Awsome.

Lots of Cream influences I love that!

This song speaks to me!

Such a beautiful song. Both singles have been in my head constantly since the release. New classic in just 3 days

Homme writes introspective songs like no one else. This song is a killer.

i´m obssesed with this song 💖

Close your eyes in a darkened room with the tv or monitor as your only light sorce and experience an orchestrated light show.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR

QOTSA keeping the Rock & Roll alive 🔥🤟🏻🔥

That ending! I listened to it the first time and I said to myself how beautiful is this song, how much I love the ending and then I got emotional and tears came out. This song clearly touches a nerve, yet I cannot get over how beautiful it is.

It does look like we’re in for quite a treat, y’all

Lifelong queens guy here and I'm just absolutely always excited for another qotsa album anyday!

It just gets better and better and better with each listen 🥺🥺

And a Phoenix arises from the ashes. Flawless as usual from QOTSA

These boys will never fail to make masterpieces

I love this so much, it looks so trippy and beautiful

I was blown away reading about Josh’s NDE inspiring his music. That’s why it resonated with me.

Silver vinyl on preorder!

Love it. Have not been excited about an album release for ages.

Different sound every album (song even), but always unmistakably QOTSA. This just arrived and it sounds awesome.

So glad they added reference to TCV, both great bands. Can't wait for the new album!

David Bowie vibes are off the charts. Bravo, maestros.

This band has found their perfect lineup. All badasses on their own but a collective rock force that's hard to match.

♫ Thanks for creating another album, QOTSA! Genuinely, still the best rock band out there. 💚🐍💚

Was reading along to the video in the last minute and got chills right at the end of the track, 1st time listening too. Looking forward to this album!

I wanna hear someone who has something negative about this. I'm only hearing positive things. It's important to listen to people who don't like something.

100% Certifiably Dank. This is the Best new song I have heard in a LOOOOOOOONG time. Can't wait for the rest of the album.

Good, finally able to get Emotion Sickness out of my head

Yeah....YEAH!!! Starts with creation, ends with destruction. Magnificent, as always.

This band shaped my life. From the south of Africa,cheers gents👏

I love these guys so, soooo much! Very excited for new album 🎉❤

Are Queens about to release one of their best albums right now? These 2 songs are fantastic.

I love the David Bowie vibes mixed with iggy pop . Mixed with them crooked vulaurs!.

Instant qotsa classic. Every new track has been absolutely fire.

Those lyrics are deep, very Amor Fati….you all know that next track it just gonna HIT based of that ending!
