• New York I love you - ...
Here's an article interviewing Simon Owens how the video was made: www.self-titledmag.com/peep-s...
And here's a cute fanart: jacobstackar...
i have periodically come back to this video every few months for over a decade now
it's so perfect 😭❤
Perfection is green and has the voice of James Murphy.
As a new yorker thank you milo this song is how we all feel living here
@@austindelisle3900 Headcanon: New Yorkers would be constantly depressed if not for Kermit the Frog singing about how depressing New York is.
this will forever be one of my favorite videos to exist
Yes
My man still answering to comments 13 years later. I'm 23, listened to this when I was 13 the first time and it still fucking slaps
fuck man i was just rewatching gossip girl when i was reminded of this gem, was originally 13 when i heard it now i'm 23 as well :D so happy that i get to revisit this
Y'all the weirdos for commenting on a thirteen year old upload! (Just kidding, just kidding!)
@@QnaPP1 Now I feel old. *turns into dust*
@@PlayStarRocker Whens the 4k HDR Remastered coming out?
@@Dantai Well, if there's one coming, it's not from me! I'm just the dude who uploaded the video 13 years ago when UA-cam hadn't even HD support. You have to ask Simon Owens (the director) or LCD Soundsystem (the band) for any fancy 4K version.
I love this song, but it brings me down.
:)
I don't know why but hearing this song gives me so much joy idk it just ties in with nostalgia I guess
One of the best official unofficial music videos ever
If it's official or unofficial answers the surprise twist ending!
James being the puppeteer was probably the greatest reveal in history
Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father? Tyler Durden in Fight Club? Rosebud in Citzen Kane? They have nothing against James Murphy puppeteering Kermit the Frog! 😉
I love the meme of James Murphy sounding like Kermit way too much lol
Excuse me, it's actually Kermit sounding like James Murphy, not the other way around.
How does a meme make a sound?
@@jmathis2aug Time to dust of the ol' headphones!
I can try to write something deep, or just say quite simply; this makes me happy.
It's not easy being green.
@@PlayStarRocker
I mean listening to the song, it really doesn’t sound like he’s having an easy time…
@@Numbabu Kermit went through some hard times!
His inflection brings life to all this. Says everything that can't be explicitly said
James Murphy should make more funny voices in his songs.
@@PlayStarRocker I was thinking of the more like edgy angry inflections but tbh I like your idea better
I listened this song for the first time in Skins (2018) and since then i listen to it regularly i love this song, and i promised myself someday... I'll go to New York and listen to this... finally 3 days ago the moment happened ❤ i still can't believe it
I've got people in the comments here that remember this song from the original run of Skins in 2008. 😅 (Maybe you mean the original show, because Google is telling me there wasn't really another show??? I'm so confused.) But, hey, congrats to your trip to NY! Hopefully I'll go there myself one day.
Yeah it must have been in the original because it's always been one of them songs that I've no clue where I heard it. Then reading your comment it clicked that it was from Skins, but I haven't even heard of the 2018 versions so must've been in the original
@@plopytop Yeah, I think "2018" was a typo and Hugo meant Skins from 2008.
@@PlayStarRocker I'm sorry 😂 i wasn't clear, 2018 was the year i first watched Skins, but ofc i was referring to the original Show 😂 greetings from Panama and hope you too go to the big apple one day ❤
Best aspiration ever
This song brings me so back to my teen years. Love it!
Me, who listened to this song while he was in his early twenties: *turns into a skeleton*
James Murphy, who wrote this song: *just stares at the camera*
Can't wait for 36 years from now for this video to get a 8k remaster
Actually for every comment complaining about the quality I will render the video in an increasingly poorer quality as before until it's a blurry, pixelated mess. It's now your fault this video is only available 240p.
(Before anyone gets mad: This is a joke! For all your high definition wishes please bother LCD Soundsystem or Simon Owens or your local shitty AI upscaler.)
I went to New York City for the first time yesterday after moving to Toronto last year from the Philippines. I immediately thought of this song and music video. I wish we could get an HD version of this!
As somebody who lives in Germany and is sometimes baffled by what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic, moving from the Philippines to Canada must be quite a culture shock, I would assume? I hope you're doing well over there!
@@PlayStarRocker Yes, it is quite different, but honestly the adjustment wasn't that intense. I'm still having a hard time with the client and I'm still surprised with how organized everything is compared to back home, but the Filipino community in Toronto is quite large and the Philippines right now is pretty Westernized and almost everyone speaks English there compared to other Asian countries so it's a bit easy to get along with other people here for me.
I hope you're doing good as well! Visiting Europe is in my bucketlist for next year, for sure.
Wow! This is making me think of someone that I love/loved/have a really complicated relationship with.
We all have a complicated relationship with Kermit the Frog.
I do too even though I don't live in NYC
@@emptiness-is-loneliness Only [city in which you live in] can break your heart
This song takes me to a place in my life where I had exactly this, much nostalgic
Last time I watched this, 12years ago, it seemed so small, and somehow heartwarming.
Now it seems gigantic and hopeful.
How.
Kermit the Frog gives hope for everyone on earth, even for the most pessimistic New Yorker.
Sooo beautiful!!! It's on repeat!!!!
I just wish I could cry!!!! And there's nothing to do with NY. Just the melody!
*slides a box of tissues over, just in case*
this video makes me so happy whenever i get sad i would always watch this video :,)
Kermit is good at cheering people up. 😊
Well this song/video makes me even sadder when I’m sad, but I like it this way, it’s cathartic 🙂 Greetings from the bottom
@@cheesy4753 Bottoms love the catharsis!
This video introduced to one of my favourite bands today. Thank you from Spain! Hahahaha
¡Hola desde Alemania y Google Translate!
Waiting worth it with LCD Sound System
Every waiting peroid is better with LCD Soundsystem. (Where's James Murphy's ode to the painful hours you have to wait at your local DMV?)
I would just like to thank you for uploading this video back in the day. I have always gone back ever since💛
Thanks for the kind words, but we should bow to Simon Owens, James Murphy and everyone else involved in the creation of this song and video!
Thank you so much❤
Aw! I uploaded this video with all my heart (and mostly because the only other upload of New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down on UA-cam in 2009 had a hard to find title)
Is it okay that I love New York and its bringing me down even though I have never been there and I live in Kazakhstan?
Kazakhstan, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down? 😬
i think this is my favourite video ever
My favorite video is the haunted video tape I once found in the basement, but the stuff on it can be a little bit too avant-garde for other people.
I actually had a mini heart attack when the instrumental picked up
Biggest jump scare ever!
Maybe I'm wrong and Kermit is right
Kermit the Frog is always right!
it's literally so good
Kermit was never better!
Saludos desde mexico, me encanta tu música.
Thank you! Even when my neighbors don't enjoy me singing under the shower, it's good to know there's somebody out there appreciating how I miss every tone from Daft Punk Is Playing At My House.
Наконец нашел эту песню, она у меня еще в плейлисте Nokia была. А знаете как? Смотрю фильм "Малавита" (The Family. 2013 De Niro) и там есть любовная сцена в школе. Под эту песню идеально зашла. В 10ые каждый день слушал такие жанры. LCD Soundsystem, Stereophonics, Klaxons, MGMT и.т.д.
Hey, it's the Tetris language! (SCNR and, yeah, I miss the old indie stuff, too!)
Miss this!
And Kermit missed you! 🥺
@@PlayStarRocker oww cute ♡
mood. made my day
Kermit knows what vibes to bring.
" the cops who were bored once they'd run out of crime" explains so much! defund them, substitute them with thorough surveilance and automatic refunds for the damage
Not sure if we need more surveillance, but I'm with Kermit saying ACAB
one of my favorite videos on youtube for sure lmao
I'm surprised that "duck screams for 10 hours" has not more fans.
@@PlayStarRockerthat is also a great video.
omg the comments are enabled again, and the uploader is still replyng to the comments giving everyone validation, ok i just gotta say: fuck this shit is beautifull, it makes me cry tears of joy, i know i'll make it to nyc and see lcd soundystem live, greetings from Colombia!
In homage to your profile pic: Straight Outta Colombia!
@@PlayStarRocker hell yeah baby!!
Why did I discover this so late?!? D:
Kermit works in mysterious ways!
To be born in the same time as this masterpiece is truly a blessing
Hello to everyone who is... 17 years old?
that’s some pretty good puppeteering there, mr. murphy
Kermit denies any involvement of a certain James Murphy. He is his own master.
저 특유의 이제 막 스마트폰이 시작되던때의 감성이 그립다.
I'm old enough to miss the time when smartphones weren't even a thing!
im 13 and this is not real music go listen to bach its really oldschool undergroundcore and very classical-pilled its really sploinky yoinky :D. I hope you are doing well, and your health holds up. I hope all the best to You and whole your family
@@Janolinni Bach? Pah! Johann Sebastian was such a mainstream sellout! Philip Glass, Kali Malone, Kelly Moran and Steve Reich, now that's the true underground, my friend!
Thank you youtube algorithms leading me too this song.
The UA-cam algorithm only exists to bring you the best Kermit content.
Eu sou de Goiânia, como pode essa ser uma das minhas músicas preferidas da vida?
Hey, I'm also not from New York and I love this song, too. And hello to Brazil! 😁
Sim. Eu aqui de Pernambuco 😅😢
@@mclara9025 Hello to Pernambuco! 👋
real
SHARED! 3/14/24.
Please, no, keep this video a secret. I don't want to get sued by Jim Henson.
Was in a cab. Long trip through from Brooklyn, Queens, and downtown Manhattan tonight. I get it.
At least New York cab drivers aren't bringing us down!
It’s crazy I found this on a show, completely forgot what show but still remember this
Here in the comments some people know the song from Skins. Is that the show you mean?
Damn, your replying 15 years later you may just be the GOAT but no it was actually gossip girl had to search it up
Can we just replay this at Times Square over and over again? Permanently
Finally a way to get rid of the tourists at Times Square!
😍
🥰
i went to new york to meet with someone who i thought was a star-crossed lover who ended up standing me up. i listened to this for months afterwards
Star-crossed lovers who don't show up are bringing us down! Fuck this person!
I love you! OH YES!
Aw, I love you too! 😊
the best song ever invented
As a Beatles fan I would disagree!
God damn I love this song
And this song loves you, goshdarnit!
✨❤️
😎👍
To my awful start in NY. NY I love you, but you're bringing me down 😢
Let's hope your life in NYC gets better! Wish you all the best! ♥
he really ker-mitted to the bit
Even the most dedicated method actors aren't going as far as Kermit about having James Murphy's hand inside them!
sadly beautiful
Or beautifully sad!
Just wanted to say thanks for the upload. Fairly certain I heard this live and then found this. Kermit just kills. Do gen Z or whoever even know who Kermit is? When I was a kid Snuffleupagus was imaginary... Now everyone can see him. :/
Our imaginary friend Snuffleupagus revealed himself so Zoomers can have a big, cuddly friend in these dark times.
Panza brought me to this gem
I have no idea who that is, but that's very nice of them!
im not from new york but this song makes me feel like i lived there all my life and it makes me hella nostalgic makes me feel like home lol im not even from usa
Nostalgia, I love you, but you're making me confused.
Everyone who’s ever lived in Brooklyn’s sentiment Kermit
Maybe Kermit is secretly a New Jersey fan!
uhhh so. niiice
Das ist sogar mehr als nett!
This song is so fucking good
Oh my god, Kermit is so embarrassed about you cursing. Please don't fucking do that again. 😳
💔
😭
I remember UA-cam before bots and New York when hipsters started ).I was in Riffifi in the village.
Now I want to see Kermit in a french black-and-white film noir! (While completely ignoring the club in NY that you very likely meant...)
I remember waking up in my mums couch after a heavy bender dying and the was on the TV and thinking what's this.
Kermit is the best way to get sober!
@@PlayStarRocker I'm clean 3 years and 5 months
@@Linktotq84 Without any irony as somebody who also doesn't drink: That's good! I'm proud of you!
@@PlayStarRocker Thank you
whoever made this won the internet
That would be mainly Simon Owens (director of the video) and James Murphy (voice and main dude behind LCD Soundsystem and in this video Kermit's puppeteer).
@@PlayStarRocker I don't mean this in a weird way, but I love you
@@vii9284 ...but I'm bringing you down? 😭
@@PlayStarRocker not at all! what do you mean?
@@PlayStarRocker oh wow. I completely missed the pun. shame on me
the one with Miles Davis is perfect
Watching that video nowadays gives me UA-cam nostalgia.
do you remember the locations of this video? love it
I didn't make the video, you have to ask Simon Owens, the director, about that!
@@PlayStarRocker :0 thx!
@@minerforjob32 Hey, just stumbled on this old interview with Simon Owens about the making of this video in which he mentions some of the locations they shot it and remembered your comment! I hope it helps! www.self-titledmag.com/peep-show-lcd-soundsystem-new-york-i-love-you-w-directors-commentary/
But you’re still the one pool where I’d happily drown.
I hope you brought a life jacket!
A sad song for everyone strays in metropolis
The cat from Stray probably doesn't even know what a New York is.
I've known about this video for about...eh, 2 years now. I'm a fucking massive LCD fan. I always thought this was an unofficial video that went viral for some reason. For some reason, over those two years, I'd never actually finished the video. Today, I watched the whole thing apparently for the first time, and out of no where, the biggest twist of the century pops up from behind a wall. Bravo, Mr. Murphy. Bravo.
Eoin Morrison same here m8 i watched this video like year and a half without watching the end, but one day i was so tired to change it so i start watching and
O MY FUCKING GOD HE WAS THERE ALL THE TIME, MY MIND BLOW UP FOR A SECOND
Eoin Morrison whats lcd?
Well, you are looking at it right now... ;)
The...the band playing the song? The singer is the guy at the end who was performing Kermit.
I feel as if anyone can listen to this song and relate to something, whether it be their city or friends, I just feel like this song just makes you reflect, for some reason
thanks gossip girl, you bring me down bc of this song.
Omg same
samee!!
Kermit really went down hill after he split with the muppets... poor soul
The Muppets went down the hill after Jim Henson died:(....
Shit, whenever I'm depressed, I come back to this song. I need to stop this
talk to us if it helps bud
+Naitsirhc3210 Surprisingly, the internet can be a helpful place. We're all in this together man. Even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes.
Thanks, guys. I'm feeling the support. I'm just going through some personal difficulties at the moment and sometimes just knowing someone's there to talk to can make a big difference.
+Naitsirhc3210 I hear ya
+Naitsirhc3210 I feel you brother on every level. I have a Kermit puppet in my bedroom that keeps reminding me to listen to this song. My puppet is actually a green pig. Kermit with a pig nose. But still, totally looks the same. I'm gonna shut up now.
Chin up, eyes forward, and have a great 2016 my friend.
this song perfectly explains how I feel about everything and everyone, I like everything but usually that causes problems.
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
New York, you're perfect
Don't please don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown
And oh.. Take me off your mailing list
For kids that think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
Maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And myabe you're right
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And just maybe you're right
And Oh..
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
But maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And just maybe she's wrong
Maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And if so, is there?
são paulo, i love you but you´re bringing me down
Just saw LCD at Bonnaroo. Easily the best show of the fest, possibly one of the best of my life. This song damn near made me cry.
yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea.... YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA!
i wish there was a live version of that song
1 of the greatest most honest songs about NYC. 100% correct. The slow disappearance of a once great interesting town. Now, it's just yoga pants & baby strollers. Time to move on....
Word. Glad I got to see it when it was still alive.
+Amanda Donovan +Gdragonfly22 So what has changed? Why is it somehow now dead for you? For what reasons? Lack of crime? No more interesting people? What makes a city "cool"? Just wondering as I doubt things have changed that drastically to warrant such dramatic comments. Please "enlighten" the rest of us.
+Gdragonfly22 Watch Comedians In Cars drinking Coffee episode with, Colin Quinn. I think you'll appreciate it. I've never been to New York, hope to some day.
I spent a few months there last year, and hell it feels like (insert generic city here). Nothing like how it used to be.
Fortaleza, I love you but you're bringing me down
fortaleza,I love you but you're freaking me out
kkkkkk
This is quintessential late 2000s
Ditto. Exactly the time I lived in NYC.
As someone who grew up on 190th and Amsterdam, "New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down."
This song never fails to give me goosebumps..
Recently I came across this song, and it caught my attention apart from other New York songs. The music resonates in my mind deeply. I am a fan for “My Chemical Romance” (MCR) and I realized this song in particular has a slightly MCR tone. I loved it. I hope we can hear more of these types of songs. I felt this song and music pulls any listener’ into the depths of NY. Awesome!!!
LCD’s starter on the twin peaks melody was fantastic. I’m not sure whether they played that on purpose to set the instruments ready for the music? This song has a in-depth meaning about cities and not just NY, which are slowly giving in to the power of money and order. It is unfortunate the band has stopped performing. A big congratulation to the writer of this song that has done justice in invoking the true feelings about the changes one has to accept with “TIME”.
The writer beautifully crafted the meaning on how we love or question our environment treating it like a living breathing person. We want it just the way it was before but nothing stay same forever our environment does eat us out slowly. Anyways, the exposition in the meanings about NY was simple and truthful. Due to this songs inspiration, I wrote a song about the hope i have for NY yet with doubt. Yup!!..the human mind…. :)
Skins brought me hear and damn it's beautiful
Nintendo I love you, but youre bringing me down
+jdark15 RIP Gordon Freeman :(
have a thumbs up
how about now?
It's time to SWITCH our opinions! ;)
Wow I forgot I even wrote this hah yea my mind has SWITCHED a while ago
How could you not be moved by this? Absolutely brilliant!!!!! So funny and yet poignant. Love you! xxxx
Just found LCD soundsystem. Gonna see them live at Roskilde, brilliant.
How were they
going in the beginning of July.
apparently they were glorious at Primavera, hope you have a good festival :)
Thanks!
Bloody Brilliant! Absolutely love the video, and the song is heart-wrenching! Nice post.
Words cannot describe how much I love this video
One of my favorite songs of all time. I listen to it every week.
Sounds weird now to me without the miles Davis trumpet...
the Murphy rocks, enough said. didn't expect him to pop up - brilliant and what a great track!
This was really great. So long NYC.
Cassie from skins aw 😩😪
Literally the reason I am watching this now! 😭
UK skins best show ever
Yes omds:(
I love this!
It reminds me "perfect day" by lou reed
this is such a rip off of "Satellite of love" by Lou
clearly genius. LCD Soundsystem is playing at my house... at my house.
Do they just love this video or have you not heard from them? I bet they dig it.
You have earned all kudos that you receive from this!! KUDOS!
just saw these guys at glastonbury and it was honestly the best experience of my life
