I remember when I stumbled upon a song from this band on Spotify some time ago, it completely blew my mind. For a while, I thought I was the only one who knew about it and couldn’t understand how such an explosion of creativity and beauty went so unnoticed. I love them forever.
I'm going to get technical here but this is the sort of band that isn't played by the radio that much of ever. it's a joke. so because most people have never heard it I wouldn't class it as underrated. you can't rate a band if you've never heard them. we are the lucky ones.
Ifitsnotonething itsanother the radio is full of one-hit-wonders and mindless shit anyway 1/2 the time? Who gives a fuck? They produce beautiful music, have a good fan base, and the freedom to make beautiful videos and support themselves. Who gives a fuck they aren’t on the radio? If you have internet connection or access to a record store they will be there. They are accessible as well. Everything they could need.
Love this song. Guys, seriously, you need to check some of their other stuff as well. This band has worked really hard for years, and I feel that they're not getting the attention they deserve. The lead singer, Yukimi Nagano, is especially talented; she has a lot of soul, which is something you do't see as much in people like her (she is Japanese and Swedish...this is a Swedish band, by the way :) ). They are absolutely amazing.
For some reason all the comments here are really bothering me as lots and lots of people keep referring to Little Dragon as simply Yukimi herself. She's wonderful, her vocals are amazing, but the music is sublime at the very least. Just feel like there should be an acknowledgment of the entire band as after all, Little Dragon IS the band. Rant over, I have yet to find a Little Dragon tune I do not fall in love with
***** you know that they live together, like families and all, they wouldn't be Little Dragon without any one of them;It's more than just a business relationship.
***** You can say that about allot of bands yet they're still addressed as the name of the band. This is one of the few bands I've seen where people give 99% of the credit to the singer when the whole band is talented.
a "band" doesn't create nearly 100% synthesized music to support lead singer vocals. this is a group of people who create instrument loops mixed with synthesized sounds to get a rhythm that sounds modern to support unique vocals by this lead singer which is the branding factor for this band. if one or more of the members of her supporting band are writing the songs, then they can get song writing credits, but millions of musicians could produce these sounds to support the singing she's doing or the lyrics that she's probably most likely writing.
Douglas Jones actually all the guys are producers, they first compose their own melodies and then Yukimi writes lyrics for their songs, music comes first and lyrics afterwards, I've seen them telling so in many interviews, these guys are brilliant musicians and they're definitely a band.
the very first time i heard little dragon was in 2008, shopping in american eagle...no video, no ads. i ran home and good the shit out of the lyrics that i could remember...
That product placement enabled them to release a great song with a great video. I only just found these guys, but I really like what I'm hearing. One new fan for Little Dragon. Wouldn't mind going for one of those cocktails right now too ;)
Peace beauty comfort and joy all in one, still as wondrous as the first time I heard it when it was released 💖 little dragon eternally. And Yukumi that dress 😍has to be said
Yea wtf was that?? The whole band is incredibly talented and I've had a hell of a time enjoying all their albums, re-watching the Little Man (Yours Truly) video over and over again, playing all the live performances I could find just to listen for the most subtle changes their playing - just incredible talent. And then I stumbled upon a list of singles I didn't recognize - and found this, and another song made for a Cartier campaign.
You are my sunbeam When skies are dark You got me flying, way beyond. 'Cause I've been wandering and feeling lost, Now, like whirlwind, You put a spell on me. Have been dragging My feet along sleepless everyday, I couldn't figure out a thing. Until your lightbeam Came crashing in Waited five seconds, Soaked in some magic, shoot across To transform my every loss, But then you came storming. You are my sunbeam When skies are dark You got me flying way beyond. 'Cause I've been wandering and feeling lost, Now, like whirlwind, You put a spell on me. Your electric ways had me right Then Me and my ghost of The past, Get him tied down. Waited five seconds, Soaked in some magic, come across To transform my every loss, But then you came storming in. You are my sunbeam When skies are dark You got me flying way beyond. 'Cause I've been wandering and feeling lost, Now, like whirlwind, You put a spell on me
funny when you pick up on the little coincidences. already a big fan of Yukimi, I noticed first she has on boxing wraps, then the boxing gloves, and the end absolute mandarin vodka. Im a boxer and when I drink thats my drink. So funny.
To all you people complaining about them "selling out". You're watching and listening to this for FREE, along with all their other music on here. I'm happy these amazing musicians found a way to get paid for doing their art. It means they can keep making music for us, so shut up and enjoy the song, FFS.
It's obviously meant for absolute and I for one appreciate a lot has done for sponsoring the lgbt community. They've done a lot for our community so if they were going to advertise anything I'm glad they chose absolute.
I have fallen asleep many nights, listening to Little Dragon and that isn't supposed to insinuate that her voice puts me to sleep LOL, it is merely magical and has the ability to soothe the soul.
arttay1090 is right, this song was only release as a single, a promotion for Absolut Vodka. However, they did add this song to their "Best Of..." album that was release earlier this year.
Little Dragon has always went hard af.
Damn I didn’t realize how old this song was it’s so good I still jam it
I remember when I stumbled upon a song from this band on Spotify some time ago, it completely blew my mind. For a while, I thought I was the only one who knew about it and couldn’t understand how such an explosion of creativity and beauty went so unnoticed. I love them forever.
My love for Little Dragon brought me here...multiple times.
Song never seems to get old for me..
Confirmed. Still listening in 2022
We still with the group Little Dragon in 2020! Till infinity!
And still in 2024!!!!
Her voice is like golden honey that keeps you alive forever
I still feel like Little Dragon is tragically underrated. Could be the world at large just isn't ready for their sort?
they're doing fine
A little under promoted perhaps but likely doing very well regardless. At this point their fan base is huge and highly self-sustainable.
I'm going to get technical here but this is the sort of band that isn't played by the radio that much of ever. it's a joke. so because most people have never heard it I wouldn't class it as underrated. you can't rate a band if you've never heard them. we are the lucky ones.

agreed. But I really don't care about ratings
A timeless masterpiece of a song, love little dragon
This band, no matter how many albums they release and different sounds they come out with, will always sound phenomenal.
Absolutely amazing ... too many people don't know what good music is ..
You are absolutely right. And it's kinda sad.
This song is so catchy, I cant stop listening to it.
I heart LITTLE DRAGON! Super under-rated!
I am so in love with this band right now. Great stuff.
TheYazmanian found them last year myself they have a lot of great stuff and i try to share there music with people, i am in love with the singer
+TheYazmanian
They are great !
+TheYazmanian saw them live and the lead performed pregnant
Goblin04 dang, that's awesome
+Goblin04 In South Africa?
This is so catchy

They are absolutely amazing.
She probably hasn’t sacrificed someone innocent to Satan, which is why she’s not famous.
Their songwriting is excellent. Simplicity meets complexity, wow!
Great song, fabulous band and the video was done nicely. Much love Little Dragon!
Little Dragon, your music helped me get through high school as a misunderstood “weird” artsy teenager . I love you guys forever ❤️🇿🇦
The voice that is coming from her, very unexpected and very amazing !!!
Nobody has got a voice like Yukimi Nagano.
My neighbour's cat has.
maybe, MAYBE Kimbra
kali uchis be TRYING IT
@@lllllllllllllllllldc Kimbra is pretty damn close, you're right..
nobody
This group's music reminds me of Prince even though I haven't listened to all his music. They just give me that vibe. REALLY nice.
Yukimi's interviews state Prince as a major influence of hers
She is so talented and so so beautiful
easily the woman of my dreams
I love her voice.
Hey aren't you that person on a video about pink Floyd
TThaaaaaaasss Me.
I love her
3:15 love how that synthesizer sound returns.

What a bullshit comment. When you write something, at least have a clue of what you're talking about.
a "band" doesn't create nearly 100% synthesized music to support lead singer vocals. this is a group of people who create instrument loops mixed with synthesized sounds to get a rhythm that sounds modern to support unique vocals by this lead singer which is the branding factor for this band. if one or more of the members of her supporting band are writing the songs, then they can get song writing credits, but millions of musicians could produce these sounds to support the singing she's doing or the lyrics that she's probably most likely writing.

What a great feeling this song gives me
1 word: Beautiful.

Thank you Little Dragon for making great music
Little Dragon is quickly becoming one of my favorite newer bands!! Excellent song and video!! Wow...
LOVE little dragon and everything theyre in.
12 yrs later, still fkn loving it
Love! My favorite band. But wait! Why am I suddenly craving Mandarin Vodka?
💛💛💛🕊🕊🕊🐲🐲🐲🙏🙏🙏
Been following LD since the beginning, well shortly after being a reggae band. They stay true to themselves and work their butts off.
This song chills me out all the time. Love your music!!
the very first time i heard little dragon was in 2008, shopping in american eagle...no video, no ads. i ran home and good the shit out of the lyrics that i could remember...
This song is so good, just reminds me of summer. Love the synths with that 80's retro feel. And despite the vodka plug, this video is pretty cool
Random, arbitrary chance is what brought me here. The purest motivation.
love how this band just feels natural ..
That product placement enabled them to release a great song with a great video. I only just found these guys, but I really like what I'm hearing. One new fan for Little Dragon. Wouldn't mind going for one of those cocktails right now too ;)
Love the beats.. and Yukimi is a goddess!
Awesome
Angelic voice from an angel is what I would expect would sound like this : )
Love Little Dragon and wish them all the success in the world! They had me at Twice :)
One of the best commercials I've ever seen.
shes so pretty in this video
Munchkkinz she's always pretty to me :)
She's very pretty.
@@Malachi101ify
Very
dat dress
Very Nice...... With love from South Africa
omg fantastic voice...unique..beautiful girl..
Brilliant band I love them ❤ full support ✌️
I don't know what to say about this music or even if I have ever heard it before but had to say a few words I would say beautiful and unique.
I love this band way too much.
This would be euphoric to drive to...
Beautiful voice, beautiful song!
They are always so cool and interesting....I've been listening to them for years and can't get enough of their music
Awesome song featuring the most beautiful woman on the face of the planet. I will Absolut-ly love them always. Yukimi! Your voice renders me helpless.
How is she a studio birthed singer? She sounds just as good, if not better, live. That doesn't just apply to her, but the band as a whole!
They never disappoint! I love me some Yukimi
can somebody tell me why this woman only has 19k subs? where are the other 5 bajillion followers?
Peace beauty comfort and joy all in one, still as wondrous as the first time I heard it when it was released 💖 little dragon eternally.
And Yukumi that dress 😍has to be said
She's so pretty omg
Seriously Little Dragon does it every time! So Good! I love it
Imagine a live-action Gorillaz film. She would be a 10/10 Noodle.
And yes, I was just listening to Empire Ants.
And by To Binge 7u7
Miguel Marques I wouldn't like a Gorillaz live action movie, but you got a point there
Fair enough.
Both songs brought me here.
This song actually reminds me a lot of doncamatic, the "lost" single from the plastic beach album
The sound is unique but catchy..Super Nice
Wonderful eyes
I'm glad they did the commercial.. it's how I discovered them
I kinda want this to be on the new album despite how long ago it came out
this song is perfection.
and the award for the least subtle product placement of all time goes to...
Apple.
I like the shoutout to Absolut hehe.. the fact that they included vodka in this video boosted its appeal for me
no I'm not an alcoholic, don't @ me
This song and video were actually MADE for Absolut IIRC. Bands need money to create its a necessary evil unfortunately
Absolut sponsors video productions for Swedish bands as ads. "Greyhound" by Swedish House Mafia is another one they've done.
why aren't these guys not more well known!! they are amazing!!
The official video for ABSOLUT MANDARIN :p
Yea wtf was that??
The whole band is incredibly talented and I've had a hell of a time enjoying all their albums, re-watching the Little Man (Yours Truly) video over and over again, playing all the live performances I could find just to listen for the most subtle changes their playing - just incredible talent.
And then I stumbled upon a list of singles I didn't recognize - and found this, and another song made for a Cartier campaign.
Babik
Yeah, that was some extraordinarily clumsy product placement.
Jajaja lo mismo pensé yo
I could care less if it was a part of an ad campaign. It got me to hear their music, and for that I'm happy.
damn, that moment when u feel trapped with a song~
You are my sunbeam
When skies are dark
You got me flying, way beyond.
'Cause I've been wandering and feeling lost,
Now, like whirlwind,
You put a spell on me.
Have been dragging
My feet along sleepless everyday,
I couldn't figure out a thing.
Until your lightbeam
Came crashing in
Waited five seconds,
Soaked in some magic, shoot across
To transform my every loss,
But then you came storming.
You are my sunbeam
When skies are dark
You got me flying way beyond.
'Cause I've been wandering and feeling lost,
Now, like whirlwind,
You put a spell on me.
Your electric ways had me right
Then Me and my ghost of The past,
Get him tied down.
Waited five seconds,
Soaked in some magic, come across
To transform my every loss,
But then you came storming in.
You are my sunbeam
When skies are dark
You got me flying way beyond.
'Cause I've been wandering and feeling lost,
Now, like whirlwind,
You put a spell on me
2024 we are here
Bless that commercial you guys were in! I'm so happy I found you guys! :D
i love yukimi!
crooklyn1111 to
omg that music is just ultra modern and vocal is also amazing!
funny when you pick up on the little coincidences. already a big fan of Yukimi, I noticed first she has on boxing wraps, then the boxing gloves, and the end absolute mandarin vodka. Im a boxer and when I drink thats my drink. So funny.

This is the best ad ever! Absolute Dragon!

I adore this one....specially the Drive.
Little Dragon is one of my absolutely favourites....
❤️
1:50 Statham at the drums
Camar Cabo 😂😂😂
Continually making my days brighter......LD.
Is there something odd about the timing? It feels like it's constantly speeding up...
I have fallen asleep many nights, listening to Little Dragon and that isn't supposed to insinuate that her voice puts me to sleep LOL, it is merely magical and has the ability to soothe the soul.
She got that old school prince voice she different
She got that old Janet Jackson voice.
Actually they are inspired by Prince a lot . And if you check out the video Paris the keyboard player is sporting a Prince t-shirt
prince? lol
Beautiful yukimi, great voice...
noodle its that you?
I think the first time I listened to this had to be 2015- 17 years old found my favorite band. Love y’all ! +++
What album is this from of theirs?
(I could look it up but i'd rather ask youtube lol)
Marco Laham LOL
Marco Laham thats not nice.
Hemi Pohatu It's okay, everyone treats me like that..
Since no one answered the question....it was release as a single only.
arttay1090 is right, this song was only release as a single, a promotion for Absolut Vodka. However, they did add this song to their "Best Of..." album that was release earlier this year.
Well Im glad youve discovered them. Enjoy!
ain't that Faith from Mirror's Edge?
bruh im dead
Still Alive
OOF
I love her voice.. so unique
She reminds me of Karen O and Bat for lashes
so happy to see them get recognized... they are a really great band.
Playing the game, don't blame you one bit.
I love love love Little Dragon
Why did I ever break up with her?
+waxandwane cause u a fool?
cause ya dont deserve her lmao
Hey bro there is better stuff out there. Don't feel bad because she has fame now. Focus on yourself, peace
Stop lying to us lol
My favorite song from little dragon, can’t top this!
