#LikeClockwork - Hudba
Boneface did the illustration.
Liam Brazier (me, *waves*) did the animation.
Some other guys brought the noise..
What’s the animation style called?
@@kistephen6365 I dunno. I’ll take ‘gruesome’...
It’s animated in Ae from layered PSDs.
Awesome man, I just want to say the style and feel that you brought to the table was addictive.
I must have watched the entire thing 20-30 times when it originally came out.
I was HOOKED on every vid/song.
Thank you.
Sincerely.
@@felixvasquez1797 Appreciate that. It was certainly a stressful rush while we were doing them but ultimately wouldn’t change the experience for anything.
you've done a great job man, i really love the animation!
when you own the world. you're always home. that's the best line
Agreed!
I love that line too. For its simplicity it conveys a lot.
Are you folks actually listening? Come the fuck on?!??
@@tappytibbon927 wdym what does it mean for you ?
for me it conveys loneliness
Hard to believe this came out nearly two years ago. I remember there was a lot of hype surrounding the album and I can safely say that all of the hype was justified; one of the best rock albums in a long time.

Can't believe this comment was made 2 years ago, I remember first finding out these music videos a year after the album itself came out, made it that much more enjoyable.
fard heria can't believe this comment was a week ago. I remember
i can't believe how long time has passed since the last comment, holy shit
Geez how time flies. 5 days ago this comment was made. geez Ill never forget though.
Lanegan, Homme, Oliveri and Turner all on this song. What a masterpiece
And Dave Grohl damnit!!!
Oliveri isnt in this song
@@ddvin5872 Oliveri did some backing vocal on this song. check wikipedia
qotsa is one of the most unique rock bands left out there, Josh has the mentality that he can't put out the same type of material every album and to people like me that is pure gold. I have loved this band from first album to the sad day when they decide to call it quits.
+Jason Kerchenko Aye, it's the same reason I like musicians like PJ Harvey, Radiohead, Massive Attack etc. They keep it fresh.
They have listened to a lot of CREAM
They called it quits?
Jason Kavgazoff no they didnt
The coolest. I cannot miss a tour...
After losing his friends, Skeletor didn't seem to take being rejected by the car driver too well.
Shimano Comedy gold.

Just so happens that Skeletor had a bazooka up his sleeve
Thanks for making me piss my pants Mundane.
"If I Had A Tail"
Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo run run
You wont get far
I'm machine obsolete
The land of the free
Lobotomy
I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I want to grind and I want to spit
Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same
It's how you look
Not how you feel
A city of glass
With no heart...
If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo run run
You won't get far
Animals in the midnight zone
When you own the world
You're always home
Get your hands dirty
Roll up them sleeves
Brainwashed or true believers?
Buy flash cars
Diamond rings
Expensive holes to bury things
I'm machine obsolete
The land of the free
Immortality
If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies
Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
See me dance along the stars?
See me dance?
If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night
When we have a tail
We will control...
Think it's " itchy gitchy"..maybe?
Thanks 😊
This song is still so incredible on so many levels.
I miss High School Sometime's.
This is timeless…
Right?? So damn good. Reminds me of those badass high school kids in the rock n roll 80’s! 🥀⚡️
Rock and roll fellas
When I hear the first 2 seconds I always think "Mr. Brightside" is coming on. Then something much better happens.
"Buy flash cars. Diamond rings. Expensive holes to bury things."
Man.. the weight those words hold.
Unbelievably dark, yet Beautiful.
A perfect song for a perfect album.
Sums up all QOTSA
Showed it to a girl and she said it was romantic in a macabre sort of way.
Vocals sound like a young Bowie
Everything in this song is amazing.
I've also noticed that this new album has some incredible lyrics.
"Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same." Beautiful.
The guitar intro is out for blood god damn
The guitar intro is coming out of it's cage and it's been doing just fine.
its like the killers - Mr Brightside 😅
I think this is a band that will def be considered classic rock in the future
It's already a classic... old man 👽
@@birdmoney this comment hit hard 😨😅
Hey person from the future hear the song does end up becoming a classic
🚬
👌🏽
can confirm
I remember when QOTSA announce this new album, was all day watching over and over again all this videos...
When you own the world you're always home lol. What a great line!!!!
Everything about this song is fucking awesome.
Rick Ω I think the one of the best tracks I’ve ever heard. Anywhere!
@@benn8516 just discovered it - what a tune
Agreed.
The starting of this song is just perfect for driving down the highway. Love it.
that what am doing in the dark streets with lights
Holy hell, I'm obsessed with this song!
Best concert LIVE ever!! Josh admitted after this song ended last month here in Houston that it's the "most fun for him to play/sing right now"!! My smile is still there from hearing him say that!)) Peace))
Boneface did an OUTSTANDING job on these graphics!! and the song is PERFECT to me!))
These guys are saving Rock N Roll, God bless them.
still doin it now, so ill bring you back
The groove on this is really, really Stones-esque. Like, 1969 Keith Richards style. I dig it a lot.
Absolutely, I thought exactly the same especially at 1:40 mark. It's just pure Stones.
@@meditate_ibz that’s Gimmie Shelter guitar solo!
I feel more Bowie tbh
I thought i was the only one who thought this sounds like Gimme Shelter
@@daandelange6869 The car in the video even has the Ziggy Stardust makeup
One of the best songs ever written IMO
QOTSA have been a favourite band of mine since their early years. They’re a wonderful group of guys and did a live performance after an interview via CFOX Radio Station‘s Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Anyone else CLEARLY hear Mark Lanegan's deep ass voice powering through everyone else in the chorus at 1:24?
I've heard the full album and I LOVE it... 'Smooth Sailing', 'If I Had A Tail', 'My God Is The Sun', 'I Sat By The Ocean' and I Appear Missing' stand out for me... so far!
5 millionth time listening never gets tired of it
This
Song
Is
Absolute
Perfection 👌
💜😍💎 Cover song 🎤🎧 for You
If I had a tail
I’d own the night
If I had a tail
I’d swat the flies
These tracks are just bloody irresistible. They reach out and grab you, and it is awesome to surrender to them.
obsessed
this is the only band ever able to turn every album into a masterpiece, Qotsa should be a religion
Petition to make qotsa the sun
It is!
La capacidad que tiene Queens of the Stone Age de sonar tan frescos como adolescentes es impresionante.
Esta seguramente es de las mejores canciones que han escrito y sin duda en estos días es mi favorita.
Cuando aparece un disco nuevo de los chicos de palm desert el resto de las bandas desaparece... así de simple!
2021 we still here
2022 we still here
2023 In Times New Roman, still here
2023, i appear missing Is the best
He sings at the end of the song!
When the song finishes, Alex Turner fades in singing "*something* I will, control the night" and then a woman's voice says "control" over and over getting louder and louder! It's creepy and then suddenly 'My God Is the Sun' starts!
I've got the album AND i've pre ordered, you'll see soon! I hope this helps :D
This album changed my life
"Tears of pleasure, tears of pain...".
It is my favorite line in this song.
RIP MARK LANEGAN❤️
Who?
Every time I listen to this song only once, it sings in my head for 5 days every day morning to evening. How did they do it i wonder...
The videos for each song make the songs so much better, I love all of the art style and dark tones of the videos!
This is the best song ever.
This song is the closest we got to the Songs For The Deaf - Line Up, because we have Dave Grohl on drums, Nick Oliveri and Mark Lenegan providing backing vocals and obviously Josh Homme doing guitars and lead vocals (and of course Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita and Michael Shuman doing their respective jobs, but you get the point xD). Great tune ^^
^ yep and it shows
Good old Grohl
Dont forget Alex Turner on the backing vocals
one of the best songs to walk like a badass
I found this song on the maximum point of My first L$D trip, it was awesome. I felt every single note through My body.
I always listen to this and Monsters in The Parasol back to back.
Does anybody else notice the Talking Heads Psycho Killer connection? I absolutely love this song.
I showed this to my dad and he thought it was Talking Heads.
@@Megaalith I forgot I had this account. Thanks for reminding me.
@@Pine_Gap_Island talking head psychos ?
To me, this song is written in the perspective of somebody imagining he were the Antichrist or the Devil (if I had a tail - devil is usually depicted with tail) who's saying how easy it is to distract humans with materialism and really not needing to because we do it to ourselves. He's also gloating about how we'd make it simple for him to be able to run the world.
This has to be another one of my favorite songs by QOTSA. There's so many. It's difficult to find a band with this much swagger.
Having a mostly pop or electronic ear, I am not an easy fan of rock music. But this here is one of the best rock songs I have ever heard.
best fuckin line at 2:11 "when you own the world, you're always home" LOVE IT !!!
I like how all the videos for this album connect in some way.
Artwork is Boneface.
Animation is Liam Brazier.
*waves*
That intro is haunting love and God bless from England
The thumbnail of this video looks like it's from a puppet animation of "Kratos" from God of War.
This song grew on me; I freaking love it now!
When you own the world you're always home.
I thought it was rome i mean they both make sense Idk
+Shane Akers I kinda sing them both interchangeably
homme*
The outro on this song is incredible. The beginning is incredible too but the build up and change in the end just blows my away.
the doo run run
Roman Surowiec I READ THAT RIGHT AS IT SAID IT
It's not just about the music, it's about the physical package and the art that comes with it. That's why I'm eager to receive it.
The bar brawler always smiled, bc he knew he would keep doing it all like clockwork, plus he is like an endurance powerhouse
Every line in this song is just killer
QOSTA = Awesome
agree
as in Queens Of Stone The Age...?
I thought that would be QOTSA, but what do I know?
I know, everyone makes them sometimes. I just joked around it
My immediate thought was "Quiches of southern Tennessee association" is awesome, which threw me, but then I saw what you wrote underneath and understood.
Great song, love it.
When I first heard it on the radio, I thought it was Talking Heads, Josh Homme channeling David Byrne perhaps?
This is my favourite song at the moment, perfection.
I don't think I've ever replayed any song more than this one.
Sick song & film clip.
I remember when I was little kid I heard this song on the radio in my dads old red dodge ram truck it's was awesome but sadly he had to sell it because I had little brothers and we had to get a bigger truck for them to fit in but that old red truck is still In our memories.
I love this song.
A brilliant example of an excellent film clip complimenting an outstanding song.
True brilliant music
And this children is how babies are made.
uahow23 wrong music video look up go with the flow
Dank MQueen nah it's make it wit chu
More like all 3 together.............
Izzy Newman agreed.
Izzy Newman wait hold on, how does this music video have to do with anything about having sex with some one, at least go with the flow showed sperm and literally had sex painted all over it, and make it wit chu showed making out and stuff.Explain that to me.
Looking back on this eight years after my last comment, and my last time watching this video,
1. This is still amazing
2. Given the state the world, I would now please like to go and live in the twilight limbo of whatever afterlife this depicts.
This song and music video helped me through a seriously painful and difficult and self destructive time in my life.
Glad your still here brother. Peace.
Got ...Like Clockwork today in the mail.... The Best Queens Album thus far...
i love this song so strong
Josh has a range that sounds a lot like David Byrne from Talking Heads in this one. Now let's just hope they do a cover of Burning Down the House. Fingers crossed.
I've recently discovered the videos for QOTS. Though I was familiar with their songs on the radio I hadn't heard some like this one, for example. DANG! These guys are off the chain! I need to get out more! LOL! Thanks You Tube for keeping me current! ❤
Holy shit this brings back memories
Love Queens (although I arrived at the party late). Check out the feel, the aura if you will; and the voice and this could have been released on Diamond Dogs by Bowie and if you didn't know better you'd swear this was Bowiesk. Cheerz !
Better late than never at all ☺
Gitchy, gitchy

Just heard this song on the opening credits of the Peacock series "Wolf Like Me"... 🤙!
Hey, that's how I got here too! 👏
If I had some tail. Just saw the concert at Coachella, these guys are awesome live.
Nearly seven years later, and it’s still just as sexy, dark, and heavy. Hmmmmm
Love the lyrics to this song, he must’ve been really inspired when he wrote them, great body of work is “like clockwork”!!!
this is one of the best rock songs of all time
Josh Homme's voice is pure velure.
one of the best ever
Hey, it's 2024 and this song is still the absolute best. With love from the future 💖
That "THE END IS REALLY FUCKING NIGH" sign at the end was captivating. I'd buy that on a tee shirt.
Pontiac Firebird Trans AM. The most beatiful car ever, one of the best bands ever.
Renan Gonçalves Flores Damn good joke sir. Had me rolling.
@@sasquatch3217 Man likes his thunder chicken
Were was the trans am ? I only saw a made up rear engine car with a bird on the hood
This song makes me tingle...
This is an awesome song....
One of the best bands of the past few decades. Love this track.
Like has been said by others, I don't know why but this band was not brought to my attention until recently. I had no idea what I was missing. Quickly becoming one of my favorite bands as I play catch up. Recently I was traveling and heard them on a local station (which apparently plays better music than I get at home). Then, if it wasn't for Dave Grohl doing the Sonic Highways series and featuring Kyruss and Josh Homme I probably wouldn't have put it all together and start to seek out QOTSA music. Glad I did.
I love this song so much. This, I appear missing and smooth sailing hafta be my favorite tracks off of the cd....like clockwork is amazing!
Top 5 QOTSA song for me in just 2 weeks. Feels as cool as "You got a killer scene there, man"
man i love this tune
Absolutely amazing song 😈
Just love this dirty beat !!!
I love the visual style for the videos for this wicked album.
this is a truly talented and amazing band! love you guys!
Definitely my favorite among the new songs! So damn groovy and addictive, love it.
