AFI - Dulcería (Official Music Video)

Directed by Adam Mason, produced by Elizabeth Mason

LYRICS
I saw sugar there, dancing in the sweet air. When my eyes began to hurt, I spun sugared air, twisted up in your hair that you’d burn before you’d flirt. Spinning, I must, Dulcería. You’re so cool that our tongues got stuck, in from the storm, where the norm is perverse. Well-acted porn’s getting worse. I love you more here, on the floor. ‘Inhaled sugar there, dancing through the sweet air ‘til our breath began to quake. I took several takes, melting in the cold air and yet I gave you the shakes spinning for you, cuz you’re so cool. You’re so cool that our tongues got stuck. It took only a single take for me to melt upon the floor and I gave you the shakes. It took only a single take for me to melt upon the floor. You still give me the shakes. I shake. Here on the floor, I love you more. I love you more.

AFI doesn't get enough credit for their recent albums. This song is incredible

[ohnobobo]

This is one of those songs that gets more beautiful each time you listen to it

[AlexOkami]

Twisted Tongues hits a million streams on Spotify in 6 weeks. AFI vinyl is selling for higher than it’s ever been. Bootleg AFI merch is being made more than ever before. I love that my favorite band is not only relevant 30 years later but also kicking ass as well 💅🏽✨

[J_Ambs]

The bass makes this band extra special.

[autienelle]

I literally just watched 5 minutes of Davey Havok picking up and throwing flowers in an aesthetic fashion, and I loved every second of it.

[manuelmarin]

Crecemos juntos, viviendo cada etapa... AFI Forever

[blueskies]

I am in tears. I've been listening to AFI for half my life now, and have never heard a sound like this from them. This is absolutely stunning.

To all the fans, AFI and Davey Havok I wrote this:

I'm a true modern goth and a true fan of your band's music.

I started my musical project called The Hate Circle.

Where I combine elements of electronics with influences from gothic rock and hard rock.

I love Dulcería and understand it from the bottom of my heart, the dark vibes and sounds of Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie and the banshees and The Mission UK.

With a dark and fresh style or as I would say. Cool in the dark.

The beautiful guitar arpeggio reminds me of Chris Isaak's wicked game.

So cool and dark but sad and melted.

Pure post-punk / gothic rock perfection in a single AFI-style masterpiece.

I believe in gothic music and the beauty behind it.

Fragile and beautiful like a withered black rose in the snow.

Thank you for being a great inspiration and influence for lovers of great music from the 80s and 90s, especially great post punk and gothic rock.

Their efforts deserve the best of rewards, but the mark they leave on us will last a lifetime.

Thank you for this great masterpiece: Hunter Burgan, Adam Carson, Jade Puget, Billy Corgan, and new age
godfather of goth Davey Havok.

Thanks.

A cordial greeting and warm farewell to all.

Always dark, always fresh.

Undead.

His true fan and lead singer from The Hate Circle...

Greyman.

AFI are heading further down that 80s post-punk rabbit hole and I am HERE for it, that bassline is absolutely delicious~

[Tragicsocietyband]

this is great. the whole world needs this band to come back with the same type of music they used to make (not competing against the music of today. They have music that can dominate the music today, they just have to play it

[SlashManEXE]

I had no idea Davey could still hit those notes. Incredible

[sweetpeacampbell]

that pulsing bass line carries the song through, and to no surprise the bands furthering into post-punk and 80's synth heavy goth feels so natural. Davey taking influences from Bauhaus on this one and it shows!

[thereclusiveblogger]

Obsessed with this track! It’s so beautiful and tragic like so many of AFI’s songs but the soundscape is unlike much of anything they have created before. It won’t even get started on how fantastic that bass line from Hunter is, and Davey’s vocals are so strong trying new things. The song is so cohesive.

[BrysonAndrewDavis]

How can one band reinvent their sound so many times and be excellent each and every time. Unreal.

[DillonTaylorVA]

Dulceria is so good and so different from anything they've done before. I said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE how much Adam and Hunter are getting to shine on this record. Jade's production is so playful and Davey is doing a lot of new things with his voice. This is going to be such a chill, fun record.

[leonerdmccoy]

idk if it’s bc i first heard davey havok’s voice when i was a sad 11 yr old. but there’s just something so comforting about it to me now, even 15 yrs later.

[evz]

You can totally tell that the guys really love 80s post-punk. I ain't complaining.

[Landenbm]

Los conocí con Silver and Cold en 2003, y es increíble escuchar cómo se reinventan cada vez. Es una rola tan excelente.

Y ahuevo, escribieron "dulcería" con tilde. 🖤🖤

[Nightswipe]

Dang, this song was really cool. Probably the most surprising song coming from AFI in years.

[Aturbyfield]

I'm just so happy for Hunter living his best life in this song.
