Destroyer - Savage Night At The Opera Lyrics
A savage night at the opera.
Another savage night at the club.
Let's face it, old souls like us are being born to die!
It's not a war till someone loses an eye!
Some would say, shockingly uptight.
21-gun salute to the Fallen Birds Of The Sky.
I heard their record, it's alright...
Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value...
Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value...
Hey, Mystic Prince Of The Purlieu At Night!
I heard your record, it's alright...
You'll never guess just what I've seen...
A horse abandoned midstream...
Quatrain etched, hey that's your style!
You'll never guess just where I've been...
A life abandoned midstream...
Quatrain etched on a turnstile...
Just set the loop and then go wild-
er...

Destroyer Savage Night At The Opera Comments
They must have shot this at the crack of oh-dark-hundred, because not a single cyclist on the streets of Vancouver? Unheard of!
Check out this song! https://youtu.be/KOWMdecEPtw
I don't why, but this evokes the long play version of Take On Me by a-Ha in my mind.
what a song. what a video.
I don't know why but this song feels like a rendition of Bruce Cockburn's If Tree Falls.
Dude went through a few red lights the fuck
ბარარარამ ბამ ბამ ბარარარა :)))
❤️🇵🇹
what city is this?
Vancouver
Bunny's snap anyone? 😂❤
Steffen Phareau yeah 😂😂
Impressive
That original film was kind of a hoax. He supposedly used his Mercedes and later dubbed the sounds of a Ferrari 275GTB (which is now a $3 million car) as the soundtrack. Great re-creation. What city is that? Vancouver?
Dan you are grandious!!
This is a knock off of an old film of a guy racing his car through paris and meeting a woman
Which city is this??
Vancouver
Vale Er I live a few blocks away from where the video started. It's a northern edge of Downtown Vancouver. I love the concept
I couldn't decide if this was Seattle or not until you saw the skyline at the end. I guess I was close. lol
niceee wasnt expecting it to be a girl love the reference to lelouche! that was perfect !
I hope the person driving the bike gets crashed into and then learns to respect a red light...
makes me feel like im playing burnout 3
Snow Patrol weren't "inspired" by the film, they just used the original footage as overlay footage for their track. Destroyer, on the other hand, created something new while paying homage to Lelouch's short.
It's mean snow patrol inspirated by that film first !
Snow patrol is a copy. This one is just inspired by the original. I'm talking about the 1976 film by Lelouch
Snow patrol open your eyes video copy !!
Blatant rip off of OMD's "Enola Gay" ?
whose what?
ya i saw it
look at all of the bike lanes. somebody tell rahm emmanuel about this
Great song. Great band. Great city.
ajfazevedois city?
@BURNANNATOR SI SEÑOR Si Señor.
get this crappy quality vid the fugg outta here!
how did she get through all the red lights w/o going str8 to the morgue?
Because it's at sunrise. Very little traffic.
Prefab Sprout
I freaking love Vancouver, I freaking love Destroyer. Thus this video is one of my favorites.
bududum dum bododudum
Bitches like you make my insurance rates go up.
its so coincidence so many ways.. to you 3rd party people, YOU ALL KNOW IM COMPARABLE TO A- TAK.
I love this song, maybe also becus of the ride, Now I have to admit in a sexpsychomobile.
musica canadense é muito boa, não canso de escutar essa!
Beautiful.
Hope he had no helmet
Incredible homage to C'était un rendez-vous (watch?v=LDXFvtVlYcM). Superb!
in Italy (Naples) too!
Is this GTA V? ; )
Move to small town BC, and you'll know. You'll know what you were missing this whole time.
Fleet foxes
веќе цела година сте ми хит :)
Why? I mean is it considered really shitty here by people and I'm just unaware of it?
This actually made me miss vancouver. I didn't think that was possible.
Hey, Dan actually appeared in a video!
i looked at the comments and was like, ok so this guy runs a red light. no. he runs 50 in the first two minutes.
▼ Que bonito recorrido!!! y con la rola uuff!!!
your song brought me back to the 80s =)
@genericusername546 i think both are really good songs
@bernabetc and a good song
kinda like open your eyes - snow patrol, except in Canada and with a motorcycle
@ethereal2pt2 Haha I'm a Canadian and I don't do any of these things! :P
the entire video i thought we were heading to lion's gate...
gastown? at the begining kinda?
it must be a dog driving that bike. "grey light. oh, cool, another grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. ......."
@Shadow67th yup, that's Vancouver for ya
@kapewaken - Yes, this is early, and it's awesome.
Where are the cars where are the people? Its 6 AM or something? Desert City?
Vancouver, Fuck yeah!
haha i like the twist at the end!
@kuubamies hehehe "Sweetie", it´s not ColUmbia (that´s in South Carolina, USA....)...it´s ColOmbia, ok?.... general knowledge quiz = 1; jokes: 0 :).
Vancouver, Motorcycle, Destroyer, it doesn't get any better than this!!!
Amazing!!!
@pLasticiTic yip its cool though, makes you feel like youre on the bike.
very 'anticlimax' video. awesome song tho.
you didn't climax while watching it? Shame.
Here's the Paris original this is based on: youtube.com/watch?v=KO8gMXrrESk
@Fivedots55 haa... wow
Great modern-day take on C'etait un rendezvous!
Exhaust note owns music!!
its would have been funny if the camera fell when she got of..... all that for nothing
Why on earth would it fall off then? It's a fixed GoPro style camera. More likely it would fall off while she's racing around, not when she's stopped.
music ruined it
@pLasticiTic yes and i wonder if they got caught running them.
In Canada, green means go, yellow means go faster, and red means look both ways before you go.
@ethereal2pt2 no... just no...
Great video. Shame the motorcycle ride was a bit bumpier than that of a Ferrari 275 GTB.
Damn Crazy
@pLasticiTic red lights without cameras are more of suggestions
can u pls take me with you?heheheh
Wow learn to drive.
why is so alone? almost no cars??
Sunrise. Not alot happening Downtown at that hour
camera not shaking makes it a very nice video and also good music too. but why did you mount your camera so low? and why did you so many red lights?
Reckless Op
Good one, I like Rendezvous better, same thing, but through Paris with a much better soundtrack!
red and green must both mean "go" in canada...
i stopped this video halfway just so i could play grand theft auto
vancouver looks like a non-shitty nyc
BEAUTIFUL .....IT WAS A GIRL ....HOW NICE F THE RED LIGHTS SHE WAS CAREFUL AND FOUND SAFE IN HER LOVERS ARMS ...THAT IS WHAT MATTERED! LOVELY!
GOOD MUSIC? Youtube/reggiewriteous
wear a helmet and protective gear! :P
beautiful
This fucking made me cry. Fuck.
Vancouver
@plasticiTic run... run all of the red light
@fuelyournews
It's a music video! The director decided the images fit the song well, and they do!
Has anyone else noticed all the red-light-running?
