It's so nice to hear a band where everyone can sing. And they all have distinct voices. I feel like Anand's voice fits this song perfectly, but at the same time when Chris comes in later with the "I killed my baby with a bullet" part, his voice is exactly what the song needed. And Ira is flawless with the harmonies throughout. There just aren't very many bands that can pull that kind of thing off.
what about 4:07 when the drums kick in again....it rocks! love their harmonies, especially at 4:37 when Anand chimes in again...oh to be in the studio with them then...
Yeasayer, you guys are the best! Those harmonies are mind-bending and the song structure is truly epic. I think this song, in all its incarnations, is perfect. Love you guys!
For me, I find this so much more real than the album. This is my favorite song by them and the vocals are just so pure; there's not a sour note. The epitome of yeasayer for me are their live performances.
I just caught them live at the Laneway Festival in Singapore last night! Never heard of them but was so blown away by their performance I'm going to buy their CDs next week! Yeasayers, Foal, Chk Chk Chk and Temper Trap, all amazing bands to catch live! Will blow your minds away!
this band is great..such a wonderful blend of music and amazing fusion of electronica..with a soft touch of psychedelic sound..i enjoyed their blending..keep rocking guys..
i saw yeasayer in minneapolis when they opened for man man. i purposely bought tix just for yeasayer i didn't even stay for man man. this is still good in 2020
Just fyi, you can download a live version that sounds even better than this one (and definitely better than the original album version) on Amazon; highly recommended!!
I agree, this studio makes AMAZING mixes. You could just make an album from these. This song could have been played on any stage in the world and capivated them all!
@TIMOTHYSAARINEN iTunes is the #1 music retailer, since about 2 years ago. You were late by over 1 year. Though I suppose our taste in music is a direct correlation of where we buy it? Sorry but I'll buy a $12.99 CD over a 17.99 CD at Wal-Mart while I'm picking up shower curtain hangers. By the way, America creates the movie and music business. Some of us are spoon-fed, and some of us know there is better out there - as with everything. Yeasayer is from Brooklyn. So am I missing something?
ahaha, the ending... idk if the drummer was supposed to hit that last clashy sound bit. it's not in the original and keating's facial expression got me to think otherwise. would explain why the drummers focused on his pad too ha
It's mid-2022 and to me this is still one of the greatest slices of musical ear candy I've ever heard and no one will convince me otherwise.
2023*
2024 and same
Rediscovering this after 12 years.
Mind blowing musicians.

Their harmonization is unbelievable...this is crazy good

This whole song/performance is great but holy fucking shit @3:04 and on, so so good.
I love the current for getting great musicians and the indie scene out there. Great Music! I love Yeasayer!
Great singing! Sad that I discovered these guys only after they ended the band.
This is easily one of the most beautiful songs... So haunting.
The guitar and lyrical cohesion in this song are breathtaking. Could listen on repeat for hours!
Come on World....... You are now ready for Yeasayer!!!!
its only a matter of time as the dedicated always prevail and this band are dedicated to their great music and art!

the beginning is so good

woot, saw them perform this at bonnaroo. sounded quite similar, i.e. kickass-n-trippy
