Man, when Drakkar Noir kicks in at the end... This is the definitive version of both songs.

[amSanta]

I feel like this song should play every time I put on sunglasses.

[depressioncherries]

this is one of those music videos where you wish you could watch it for the first time again.

[AslanKyoya]

"Checkmate"
"Merde!"
Love that part.

[kafka]

I freaking hate that this version isn’t on Spotify

[disregard.]

Love the guitar in this version.

Gives the song more substance.

[downfall]

This version is better than the normal studio version, the use of actual guitars instead of synths makes this soo damned good. 

[New_Hell]

just revisited this song, and man.

this (and the whole of bankrupt) brought me back to some damn good times. i miss 2013.

still an absolute banger.

[MasDouc]

3:28 the dancers do that same move in What You Know and The Less I Know the Better. That must be Canada's signature dance choreography.

[Rimbey]

Phoenix blows my mind literally every time.

[hideyho]

This has me in SHAMBLES. I’m making a huge playlist of songs I listened to in high school and of course this emerged. A forever banger! My heart is aching with nostalgia🥲

I hope whoever comes across this version has a stellar day!🌟

[gracetakeda]

I still can't believe Phoenix filmed this music video They just became even more

[xyzangeel]

This is why I love Indie music cause of songs like this 👍

[JoyThiefTheBand]

Honestly, if they'd have put this version of the song on Spotify for as long as the album versions, by now it would have been a permanent top 5 song for them with hundreds of millions of plays. This is definitely the best version of both Trying to be Cool and Drakkar Noir and I wish it was on Spotify, lol.

[andreina]

i remember i used to be in love with this song and video, i can't believe i forgot about it, it is so good

[michileaks]

phoenix needs to come back asap

update in 2019, they need to come back again!!

[kaofang]

2019?
My old days made me come here againn

[alexiahernandezarce]

Phoenix is one of the best groups I know. Unluckily, I used to listen to them a lot during a really low age of my life, that's why their music brings me bad memories sometimes. I hope this doesn't last too much anymore, cause it'd be a pity if I can´t enjoy listening to them anymore

[missknb]

I’ll never forget when my older brother introduced me to Phoenix back when I was 12, now I’m 32 and still love them! Such an amazing band! I’m trying to get tickets to one of their upcoming concerts for my brothers birthday! 🤞
