Barcelona - Background Lyrics






All your love, you gave to me
Every piece of your heart, you let me see
You filled my cup, and I felt complete
Now you wake me up, inside a bad dream

Late one night, I was out drinking
Stepped inside a bar on your street and
Saw you there, what were you thinking?
Who is he, and why are you dancing?

He touched you, in the background
It broke me, I broke down
I didn't know love could hurt this way
I didn't know love, I didn't know love

He pulled you closer, in the background
It broke me, I broke down
I didn't know love could hurt this way
How could you cheat on my heart?
I need to know

Sh-sh-shivering cold, I brought you in
Said you wanted true love, you wanna to start again
I helped you fly, I set you free
Brought you back to life, how could you turn on me?

Late one night, I was out drinking
Stepped inside a bar on your street and
Saw you there, what were you thinking?
Who is he, and why are you dancing?

He touched you, in the background
It broke me, I broke down
I didn't know love could hurt this way
I didn't know love, I didn't know love

He pulled you closer, in the background
It broke me, I broke down
I didn't know love could hurt this way
How could you cheat on my heart
I need to know

I'm not your first, you're not my last
And though it hurts, I know that it will pass [x2]

When he touched you, in the background
It broke me, I broke down
I didn't know love could hurt this way
I didn't know love

He pulled you closer, in the background
It broke me, I broke down
I didn't know love could hurt this way
How could you cheat on my heart
I need to know

    psychopath for sure!!

  3. R.... B....

  4. D.... C....

    I have been searching for this song for like 3 years now....... go glad I found it again.

  5. F.... ....

    I didn't see the ending coming, lol that was messed up....

  6. B.... B....

    świetne :)

  7. t.... B....

    so amazing you have a warm voice,love it

  8. c.... s....

    watching this again and seeing these comments laced with homophobia... yall arent saying youre against homosexual people but literally if this was a big club scene video and not what it is yall would be fine with it, not ‘awkward’ or ‘uncomfortable.’ i think it beautifully depicts the song 🤷‍♀️

    c.... s....

    What's the meaning for the video? You seem to understand.

  9. D.... ....

    Zara Larsson?

  10. M.... M....

    Art is supposed to invoke a reaction. So this is art...wtf am I watching? That is my reaction.

  11. A.... B....

    Inspiring!

  12. F.... ....

    Omg,I love this song sp fucking much 💜💜 you guys are amazing!!! Brazilian here!!!

    F.... ....

    Amo esse clipe/música

    F.... ....

    É demais 😍

  13. A.... ....

    Does anyone know where this was filmed ?

  14. S.... X....

    As a big fan of Barcelona was shocked by song and video not getting more views yet again. One of the most talented bands out there...

    S.... X....

    Stomm X i agree I love the song🙈❤️

  15. C.... J....

    me encantaaa

  16. k.... k....

    i am sooooo happy theu have new material in what seemed like so long. it's a bit different from the first albums but that's alright. im a fan of this too. awesome song and video concept for sure!!!

  17. R.... ....

    Absolutely Stunning!!! Power to the People, Love does not know Boundaries it does not discriminate. I love Barcelona even more than ever!!

  18. L.... L....

    After two years still my favorite song ever

  19. T.... T....

    Beautiful song and beautiful video. I don't know if the person in the video is into cross-dressing, transgender, a drag queen, or whatever he may be but I do know he gives a very heart-breaking performance that hits the nail on the head of this song. Perhaps it's uncomfortable for some, but I think this is a tastefully done video. Whether you're female, male, neither, gay, straight, or bisexual, as a human being, being hurt by love is never easy, and everyone deals with it in their own way. Just like the person in this song is in a club singing away the pain, getting drunk and partying.

    T.... T....

    +Tina Tran amen to that! we gotta feel empathy for people's way of dealing with stuff <3

  20. E.... L....

    Absolutely fantastic. Fell in love with this band because of this song and video! Great job!

  21. L.... ....

    You have friends from Switzerland :D

  22. B.... X....

    I feel awkward watching this.

  23. S.... R....

    wtf hahahaha

  24. J.... T....

    Love Barcelona. Please keep making music

  25. A.... N....

    The plot is almost like We Exist and I'm so disappointed. Shame on you Arcade Fire :(

  26. E.... M....

    There could have been a better way to portray this song. I was utterly in shock the first time I saw it.

  27. T.... ....

    great song! great video! It's simple, interesting and different. Love it!!

  28. J.... I....

    Clever video. Awesome song. Thoughtful lyrics. I Love Barcelona.

  29. d.... ....

    I adore the song,but the video is awful

  30. M.... T....

    that was weird. I told my friends i listen to this band i even saw them in Spokane this is just bad.

    M.... T....

    way to go off the deep end

  31. G.... ....

    I don't know about u guys but i found this video disturbing... O_O

  32. S.... Q....

    How adorable!

  33. J.... L....

    Why this video? What does cross dressing have to do with witnessing your significant other dance with someone new at a club? Did it hit him so hard he turned transgender? Paint me as a villain if you want but this video took "wistful and heartbroken", ate it, and threw up rainbows in my face.

    J.... L....

    +Jared Lentz AGREED.

  34. M.... M....

    I'm just depressed.  I appreciate that the band "evolved" and everything.  And maybe I'm just stuck in 2008, but how do you go from the pure, ambient, melodic beauty that was Absolutes to this?  It doesn't even sound like the same band.  At the very least, I hope it makes them more money.

    M.... M....

    I agree, the only new songs I like are Slowly and this one is ok. Absolutes is definitely their Magnum Opus.

    M.... M....

    I'm in love with their new stuff. It's so great.

  35. M.... D....

    This is the first time I stand watchin a video only because the music was great.... I dont know them first song ever but good job.. About the video ... Come on.. Why?  maybe the concept  wasnt bad, but doesnt make us fell something special and real. Sorry!

  36. c.... ....

    The song and the video make me cry. I love it ♥

  37. E.... H....

    Song was even better live

  38. H.... B....

    I like y'all, Barcelona, but this video....why?!

  39. r.... J....

    Just saw you live at Soda Bar.  great stuff.

  40. 3.... ....

    i am not an homophobic in any way, im just asking
    is he gay? i have been listening to alot of barcelona altely im just asking.

    3.... ....

    I don't know.. but... It doesn't really matter :D 

    3.... ....

    @André Moreira Ferreira yeah i think i found that by myself just look at the lyrics for this song.

  41. s.... ....

    Hey Thoros of Myr... GOT viewers will know.

  42. k.... s....

    Love this. So much.

  43. N.... T....

    i'm really really really digging this new sound. i feel like such a disloyal fan for not knowing about these new releases

  44. b.... ....

    I saw them live, they're one of the warm up bands for The Fray! I had never heard of them, but they were amazing live so i had to look them up

  45. d.... ....

  48. C.... J....

    Heard this song live yesterday and it got stuck in my head. Good song, weird video.

  49. j.... ....

    I really like the rhythm of this song!
    "I'm not your first, you're not my last..." <3

  50. C.... K....

    Heard y'all sing this song live yesterday here in Houston!! Yall are amazing live performers!

  51. E.... a....

    I saw them live. They were better than the actual band performing that night.

    E.... a....

    Who was the main band? Don't say STG, I may cry

  52. n.... ....

    is he homosexual ?

  53. R.... w....

    Just saw him live, a powerful voice, just awesome..

    R.... w....

  54. D.... ....

  55. A.... M....

    A.... M....

  56. T.... ....

    Simply Fantastic!!

  57. T.... ....

    Haha! I'm sorry, the end is hilarious! XD

  58. A.... o....

    Seein these amazing people w/ Oh Honey and The Fray this June!!!<333

  59. M.... ....

    Some of the new songs a great, but on the whole I'm not sure I'm liking the shift from Alternative to Pop

  60. J.... N....

    love this song but the video is creepy lolol

  61. A.... V....

    This song... perfect.

  62. C.... P....

    Have both of the EP'S and I LOVE IT!

  63. S.... x....

    Looks like Lady Gaga.. Lol!

  64. J.... N....

     que música :o

  65. A.... V....

    Lol I have definitely sang karaoke on that stage!

  66. A.... V....

    The Crescent!!

  67. S.... B....

    The Love Me EP and Love You EP are just AMAZING!! I love this song -though I was expecting a better video because of its lyrics. But cool anyway!

    (You can find their songs of both EPs on my channel, guys).

  68. M.... P....

    This new sound sucks, frankly.  I love bands that change their style (i.e. Radiohead), but this is just too sugary and "paint by numbers" 80s pop.  'Tis a shame, they were a great underrated band.

  69. T.... B....

    HOLY CRAP BARCELONA IS COMING OUT WITH NEW MUSIC AND I HAD NO CLUE!
    Love you all so much!

  70. E.... M....

    All your love, you gave to me
    Every piece of your heart, you let me see
    You filled my cup, and I felt complete
    Now you wake me up, inside a bad dream

    Late one night, I was out drinking
    Stepped inside a bar on your street and
    Saw you there, what were you thinking?
    Who is he, and why are you dancing?

    He touched you, in the background
    It broke me, I broke down
    I didn't know love could hurt this way
    I didn't know love, I didn't know love

    He pulled you closer, in the background
    It broke me, I broke down
    I didn't know love could hurt this way
    How could you cheat on my heart?
    I need to know

    Sh-sh-shivering cold, I brought you in
    Said you wanted true love, you wanna to start again
    I helped you fly, I set you free
    Brought you back to life, how could you turn on me?

    I'm not your first, you're not my last
    And though it hurts, I know that it will pass [x2]

    When he touched you, in the background
    It broke me, I broke down
    I didn't know love could hurt this way
    I didn't know love

    He pulled you closer, in the background
    It broke me, I broke down
    I didn't know love could hurt this way
    How could you cheat on my heart
    I need to know

  71. M.... G....

    This album was influenced by Miley Cyrus. 

  72. N.... C....

    This is so weird but he has nice legs.

  73. B.... B....

    video kinda creeoy but i like it hahahahaha good one bro

  74. A.... M....

  77. D.... B....

    all of your music is so good im gonna turn into dust

  78. M.... D....

    only song i heard from them, and I found them on Songza

    M.... D....

    You should check out "sick" and "paper lion" :) They´re really good as well!

    M.... D....

    strange way is pretty perfect too. actually all of their songs are perfect.

    M.... D....

    Very True!  They are perfect.

  79. F.... R....

    I don't know what it is, but his voice sounds like Brandon Flowers'... in my opinion. But I listened to the new EP and I loved all the songs... not bad for the first time listening :)

    F.... R....

    That's what I thought too when I first heard the song.. I'm a new fan myself

  80. T.... ....

    WOW!!! First song I heard from Barcelona… now I am addicted. Kickass music!

  81. D.... K....

    Love this video so much! Its so different, the song is amazing BTW just bought the new EP <3

  82. a.... ....

    Anybody remember Savage Garden?

  83. H.... N....

    I like the new style!

  84. J.... C....

    Nice :3

  85. J.... C....

    Nice :3

  86. C.... B....

    I love you guys and I love this song but I'm a little thrown off from this video. I just don't think the video did this song justice :/

    C.... B....

    Would you have liked it better if it was a half naked girl singing and dancing? The video does the song justice completely.

    C.... B....

    @Mukiao I don't see anywhere in his comment stating that it was the man in the video throwing him off. Nice of you to jump to that conclusion, since everyone's a homophobe right?

    C.... B....

    @Mukiao YES

  87. S.... S....

    Would've been better if it had been mixed in with band scenes.

  88. b.... ....

    Amazing song. Really excited about these upcoming EP's. I hope they go back to their roots for one or two songs though.

  89. L.... O....

    hey guys! Could you hel me? Where can I find the lyrics of this song... 

  90. E.... L....

    Ahaha! I love the song already, but the video really drives it home! Nice belt too.

  91. Y.... T....

    Is this a joke?

  92. S.... N....

    i think it's a great song but i dont get this video

  93. D.... ....

    Brian Fennell is gay ?
