2:20 The way he sings is heartbreaking.
I remember being 17, depressed as hell and stoned out of my mind; listening to this album.
Thinking life wasn't going to get any better. Funny how life changes in the blink of an eye.
Man comments like this make me full so much better, much love
+funky trout feel*
+Dallas Alexander This comment gives me a bit of hope. Thank you, stranger.
agreed.
this comment kinda gives me truly some hope that it will get better thank u person I'm 13 with depression and cancer that helps thanks
Deerhunter is actually one of the best indie bands ever.
indie is the worst term on the planet
Francisco Villafane Why are you watching this video, then?
+Mani The Astronaut He's against the term, not the genre
IDK Oh. Sorry.
its a good song just not indie lol
I believe that Bradford Cox is a sinless, pure-hearted creature who came down to earth just to write and create this songs that make you feel absolutely full and happy but also guilty and terribly abandoned by everyone and at the and you just end up crying on your bed the evening before/after a long, boring day
i'm doing just that right at this very moment.
+Jeane Sorel Perfect. I think he had wings on his back but he cut them off in anger and frustration when he arrived here.
+Amy Woy exactly.
+Jeane Sorel let it be more nuanced, and its fine like that
he doesn't write his songs
Yeah that part where he says "No one cares for me, I keep no company, I have minimal needs" I I literally am on the verge of teary-eyed and my soul just melts... Wow what a powerful part of the song cuz I can relate.. love this band.. Deer hunter is my favorite song tho, this may be 2nd!! Love it..
One of the most beautiful tracks I've listened to.
PC Disciple strokes guy..my man!🤘
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
Indeed.
The vibe of this song makes me want to just float around in slow motion everywhere…
certified hood classic
Everyone in the band lived next to the hood at one point, so this is funny

Literally. ATL legends
Hell yeah!!!😂😂😂
Song brings back very emotional tines in my past. But I love it at the same time! Life has gotten so much better since then, but still love the nostalgia this gem brings me.
This song never gets less beautiful or less heartbreaking. What a masterpiece
I think this may just be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Every time I listen to this I am transported to being 14 again back in houston with no friends, skating countless miles every day just to occupy myself. Looking at the landscape slowly pass by as this melancholy tune shapes the coming years of loneliness and growth.
The journey for sure has been a good ride
Honest, original and painfully beautiful im blown away
Halcyon Digest, one of the best albums this decade so far.
@faster jonny Best Deerhunter album?
2010 has so many great albums. From Kanye to Arcade Fire, to Deerhunter, to Beach House.
@@zackzallie8735 Innerspeaker and Congratulations as well. There's probably others i cant think of
@@p0mpilius oh yeah!!
@@p0mpilius I love meeting peoples with the same music taste
what i love about this song is that it oozes the feeling of sadness but at the same time in a weird way there's a glimmer of hope in the instrumental arrangement, pure genius IMO
Bradford really is a tortured soul, you can see the pain and torment in his eyes and face. Probably why he creates such beautiful music. "The wound is the place where the light enters you" - Rumi
If you are a selfless person, living in a world with suffering then you must be a tortured soul by definition.
@@Jamiefearon bodhisattva
@@YoghTato we all are Bodhisattva, have always been so and will always be so until we are no longer Bodhisattva
@@Jamiefearon completely agreed
He conveys so much emotion through even the most subtle aspects of his vocals.
So fucking good.
Truly a masterpiece in its own right. Double exposures and overlays = double take and listen to the beauty of this music. He is a gifted soul and we are blessed to have him.
I lost a good friend recently. This was one of his favorite bands. The day he passed I've noticed more helicopters (ghetto birds) in the sky and before that this was the first song I heard from of this band
I'm sorry for your loss😢
Let me bow my head.
i accidentally stumbled across this band after I searched for the movie "Deer Hunter" on UA-cam. I was in love with the music since then.
I love when the happens. I also stumbled across this song somehow a few years ago and I still listen to it
this song articulates the feeling of loneliness almost perfectly
whenenever I hear the lyric 'no one cares for me, I keep no company', I die a little inside because it relates directly to my life. fantastic album. one of my favourites of 2010, no doubt.
Have you heard the story behind this song?? I really hope it's not true. It still haunts me
@@mrt445 it's not true
@@mrt445 its a fictive short story
@@bradlistentoanimalcollecti5598 Ok that's good then
@@renz2k I did a lot of Google searching to see if it was true, seems to be made up
I discovered deer hunter when they opened up for the yeah yeah yeahs in Nashville forever ago. I was not only entranced by the height and oddity of the lead lead singer, but the music swept me away. I then went to another show where thet opened up for ten years. I saw him before the show and told him I was there for him and come the time they were on the stage, the lead singer held me and sang to me. It was pure magic and to this day it's one of my fondest memories
Hypnotic... Beautiful. Brought me to tears.
This song is so sad, but I love it. The emotion is communicated brilliantly. It's as if I can actually feel their emotions. Very powerful.
This song got me through depressing times as a high school senior, fast forward 12 years into the future and it’s getting me through the most depressing time of my life so far (again). Thank you Deerhunter ❤
Here because deerhunter is a good band
anco
Here bc of btbam's new tour. These fellas really did work that night!
here because ....
Zakk2Gud they are. I really love these guys. No point to judge them at all. They make the most phenomenal and relaxed music ever. Like bigger ups tiny downs. That's how much I like them.
Jose_Mal ♡
Rest in Peace...Bassist Josh Fauver....
I've played this song so much since it came out! One of my all time favorites.
If loneliness had a sound, this is it right here.
You said it human
And yet it's quite attractive
Very poetic Brandon.
it's basically my theme song
Yet it’s so sweet at same time.
Just an amazing choon!! Bradford Cox is an amazing vocalist.
Really like this use of major seventh chords. I love major sevenths in general but I haven't heard anything else use them to express this particular emotion
i think their use of that pitched up, chirpy wammy guitar tone on this album makes them sound much more like a lullaby. that might be why the chords sound so unique :)
give King Krule a listen then, i think you'll enjoy
Haven't forgotten this gem. Taking it with me into 2020 and beyond.
When you read about the lead singer Bradford Cox's early years, you get a sense for how powerful this song is....
The beginning of this song drains every ounce of stress in my body
that low -tom double hit towards the end always hits me..
it only takes that one little change
Fucking brilliant song even 10 years later.
I've got to say, after discovering this song and then the rest of Deerhunter's discography, they are now my favorite band of the 2000's onwards. If you haven't bought this album and Microcastle, you are missing out on a lot of great music
can't get this song out of my head. unbelievable ecstasy.
So amazing and beautiful... when the birds fly off the dock when he busts into the chorus is so very exceptional!
I love this beautiful song. Actually the whole album is painfully beautiful.
Oh god.. its so beautiful. And sounds like shiny stars
This song describes perfectly how I felt near the end of my active addiction. Still love it, and always reminds me why I quit and to never go back to that life :)
Good evening my friend rose posy
amen fron london
i can relate, keep it up love
Been 6/7 years at 19-20 years old that I discovered Deerhunter and on and off Agoraphobia as my favorite and forgot this masterpiece of a track.
Fast forward December 2019 into the beginning of 2020 and had my brush with the devil spiraling into fentanyl addiction living day to day. Turning 26 in 2 weeks and finally hitting 3 months sober soon and thought I’d be dead by now. This song hit me harder than when I first heard it. Keep pushing forward in sobriety, we are the winners of our own game.
well said..
Just a min ago i just read a passage about this band 'Deerhunter', the book's name is 'Steal like an artist'.
I'm a big fan of rock metal blues and indie genres songs... But i've never listen this band....
Really a great music taste...
I'm glad i've read about that band and i gave it a listen...🤟
Greetings friend!!
Listen up monomania álbum!
this whole album is magical. besides just being plain beautiful it has some hard to describe undertone to it, something that makes it exotic, even mesmerizing. and this song is extremely catchy :)
but anyway, i just thought i'd recommend the artist seaside to fans of deerhunter - check out 'sweetest love' or 'away' by them, their sound has a kind of picturesque and lush quality to it, kind of like this album. very immersive.
Very nice! Away made me think of Agoraphobia more than this song, soft and dreamy. Lovely music, thank you.
taro314159 you're welcome my friend :)
taro314159 taro is such a great song! good name

The beauty of melancholic has rarely been so beautiful like in this song.
God, this is beautifully gooey! Soul-rending back story. Cannot hear it enough. Almost Eric Matthews-esque in it's remarkable production. Beautiful in its luxuriousness, but the lyrics strip it to the bone. RIP Mr. Marakov. Someone cares.
1:25 I love how he sings that part
Take my hand and pray with me
My final days in company
The devil now has come for me
And helicopters circling the scene
[Verse 2]
And I pray for rest
Could you pray for us?
We know he loves you the best
We know he loves you the best
[Verse 3]
The light's inside my cave
I'm tired of my pains
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 4]
Oh, these drugs, they play
On me these terrible ways
They don't pay like they used to pay
I used to make it day to day
[Verse 5]
No one cares for me
I keep no company
I have minimal needs
And now they are through with me
[Outro]
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
I'm almost sure its pains too it would be so stupid to be "I'm tired of my cave" but that's what the album inside folds say. I still read and sing pains
☺️
Thank you 👍
favorite part of the song is at the end, when the drums kind of hold off for those extra beats and then CRASH back in.
pretty much one of the most satisfying songs ever.
dum dum cack BSHHHH
I am obsessed with this song
A perfect recording.
I’d completely forgotten this song. It sounds so good
3:17 The birds fleeting to me is a symbol of all our friends, family, and loved ones who have left our life when you wish you had them the most.
How can someone dislike this...
I love deerhunter, and their work rate is astounding. They release more albums is less time than any other band i can think of.
The first song I heard from Deerhunter due to randomly clicking videos. This song remains my favorite and I think their most beautiful.
On its own, it's a dreamy-yet-tragic melody with lullabye-like vocals. When accompanied by the short story found in the liner notes for the track, the song becomes a heart-wrenching anthem. I came across this group and album by chance; a random pick at the library. It was like hitting the lottery.
Completely beautiful and prime for the "Repeat All" setting.
what's the liner notes story about??
@@kanemichaelg A russian gay porn actor named Dima who started working from a very young age and which ultimately led to him being trafficked. He turned to drugs to cope with his lifestyle and his life tragically ended when he was pushed out of a helicopter, the namesake of this song.
'now they are through with me'
This album is a masterpiece
I'm actually so happy that Bunny introduced this song to me because it's so beautiful! It's my new jam lmao.
So sad once i read about who the lyrics are about. Man makes me just wanna cry
I'm so glad deer hunter is getting their fans , I have loved Bradford cox music for an eternity. It's unique , numbing and powerful.
Deerhunter has breathed new life in all music
beautiful music...... listen to this everyday..
This is one of the the best songs I’ve ever heard
this is truly beautiful
halcyon digest's turning 10 this year, holy god how old am I
This song makes me happy.
This song has echoes of “moments in love” by the art of noise..
This song gives me so much strength. And peace.
Underrated masterpiece
Saw them live last night and this gave me goosebumps the same way it did many years ago....
Love Halcyon Digest. I've sensed Brad's deep appreciation for music before, but it's never been so apparent until this new album. I can not wait to see them November 3rd. Hopefully I can talk to Brad after the show. :)
This could never end
Only a great artist like Bradford Cox could make something so beautiful yet sad and full of emotion. He truly is a genius and this song is breathtaking. It makes me want to cry every time I listen to it.
My first taste of Deerhunter and it is sublime!
What a gorgeous song
They sound like Mercury Rev. Another fave band. Fantastic song.
This band always surprises me.
This was released 9 years ago lol.
I know, I just found out about them lol
Bunny...you rock!
i live for that fill at 3:29
So much beauty from such such a difficult situation.......
This is such great chill out music!!! I could easily paint to this. So glad I discovered them.
3:28. Two drum slaps. Makes the whole song
Bunny said this was her favorite song, had to check it out...
I can't get enough of this song. Never enough.
so nostalgic
I copied this from a lyrics meaning website because the story really touched me. I still recommend to everything to purchase the record because he has the story on it. But it's a story that really has stuck with me throughout the years and I haven't seen anyone post it in the comment section so here it is. Thank you for Sharing this song about empathy Deerhunter I will forever have it in my heart. It tells the story of a young Russian man named Dima who left his home at the age of 14. He moved to the city in hopes of becoming a fashion designer. He had no home and eventually moved into the home of an older man, who took him as his lover. Soon Dima left him and moved into the home of a wealthy older man who provided financial backing for a conglomerate of gay pornographic websites. Dima's documents were changed so that Dima's age was 18, although at this point he was maybe around 16.
He soon began starring in his lover's films as well as working as a nude model. Dima supplemented his income by working as an escort. Soon, a member of the Russian mafia had developed something of a fixation on Dima. One day, Dima left his lover and cut off communication with all his friends, and moved in with the Russian crime leader. Another escort, a friend of Dima, spotted Dima being "forcibly sodomized" by a group of 10-15 men (including the crime leader) in a private sex club. That was the last spotting of Dima.
The escort tried to investigate. He persuaded a prominent gay Russian journalist to write a story, but the journalist was threatened by the organized crime, and stopped.
One day, another crime leader, who was being tried on an unrelated murder charge, confessed that he had seen a young man matching Dima's description be pushed out of a helicopter over a remote forest in Northern Russia. Dima's ex-lover, before dying in 2007, confessed that he had sold Dima as a sex slave in 2005 and believed Dima to have committed suicide in 2006.
This song is pure perfection. Any other bands with sounds similar to this one?
may not be comparable to you, but listen to beach house if u haven’t
@nick Already listened to the majority of their albums
the drums
2nd this ^
slowdive, mazzy star, beach house,my bloody valentine,Liars, fleet foxes
Great song. Cool video. Fantastic band.
How these boys manage to stay under the radar, yet get the music out, amongst drastic changes in the recording industry is mind-blowing. Deerhunter has earned huge gobs of respect for doing this, in a relatively short period of time.
In summary... easily the best band I've heard in 10 years.
i didn't discover this band until early last summer just before halcyon digest and i must say i love em. I was working in downtown detroit and they played two blocks from where i was working at the magic stick and was totally bummed i didn't go see them. tickets were 10 dollars.
probably in my top 10 songs of all time
Bradford Cox, you write beautiful songs.
First song I have heard from this band....so far so good!
one of my favourite albums, such a fookin beast
What have you done? How am I gonna find another song like this? How am I ever going to feel alive again without you?
My sentiments exactly
I wish I was at the show crying my eyes out with bunny... this song ❤️
First time Deerhunter, pretty chill song. Love the ambient feel
This entire album is brilliant. Just been re-aquainted, timeless music.
