Album Intro:

The fourth single

Lifted from their album Employment, title track is backed by 'People Need Light'. B-Unique. 2005.

'Modern Way' was the fourth and final single to be released by Kaiser Chiefs from their debut album Employment on November 7 2005. It entered at the UK charts at #11. Its lyrics refer to loneliness and regret.

The song's music video marked the directional debut of the band's lead singer, Ricky Wilson and was co-directed by profilic video director Scott Lyon. It tells of the success of William Green, a juggler who has a unique skill for balancing tennis balls on his face, and the impact that he has made on the public. The band appears throughout as extras, notably donning glasses and facial hair, but during Green's climatic performance, they appear as themselves.

One of their contemporary bands from Yorkshire, The Cribs, covered 'Modern Way' in 2005, as a b-side to their single 'Mirror Kissers'. In 2006, the song was reworked for the Buena Vista Social Club album Rhythms del Mundo. Modern Way has also been used by Fox Network in commercials for the program, Drive.
