Franz Ferdinand has written the music and words for the track “The Eyes of Mars“, which streams as you enter Lady Dior, a commercial site. The track is sung by Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard. I really like it, even though it’s extremely simple. I feel I shouldn’t like it for some stupid reason, but it’s good; there’s something about that piano…

Where were you
When I needed you?
When I needed you
When I needed you
You were there
In your dark room

I see it all
in a dull reddish glow
I see the beautiful
I feel the tragedy fall

I feel perfectio,
In my chaos
Why is this happening here?

The eyes are perfect
Eyes are seeing it all
See the victim
Pass from prism to film
The Eyes of Mars…

Eyes of a killer are ours
The Eyes of Mars…
