I know the feeling, man. I remember listening to songs like Oxford Comma and A-punk when I was just an 11 year old in 2008. This band has definitely grown and evolved with me
This guy is a genuine poet, their lyrics are such a rich blend of keen insights, always the tension between the good and bad in a world that is continually baffling.
I've always been more of a casual VW listener until recently, so apologies to the real fans if this is basic VW lore! The crunchy Italian opera-style Rs (and potentially Ezra's diction while singing in general) have been keeping me awake lately! Has he ever talked about it? I would greatly appreciate if anyone pointed me to a source if he has. Cheers!
I tried dedicating this song to someone quite publicly on X, in order to try and cheer him up especially after his kingdom came crashing down. I’m not sure if he got that, 🤔😁
Took my kids to see them Friday night in SLC at Kilby Block Party festival and caught ‘the first evening performance of this song’. Beautiful, classic tune here. They are great live. Closest thing to seeing the Talking Heads live in 1984 that you can see now. New album is a wonderful work of art. Give it a listen if you haven’t yet.
I'm a Capricorn and the song is lovely but what's with "capicone, the year that you were bone" ? The guy's from NY/NJ. Same as me. No one says words like that. Sounds like a speech impediment, which hurts my ear a bit every time he does it. lol.

Ezra's voice is so unique and sounds exactly like the record.
couldn't agree with you more
They replicated the reverb on the record beautifully
Don’t know if you already know Amber Coffman the backing singer. Bc she’s another such unique voice that way too underrated.
She’s incredible
Great voice a liitle bit like a young Donavan luv this song so ethereal....
Ezra Koenig is perhaps the finest melodist of his generation
Man, that is some serious soundstage engineering, sound is so crisp and compressed. I love this stripped down version of Capricorn.
The three violin parts almost sounded like different instruments. Beautiful.
I've never heard a lyric more comforting than "you don't have to try"
There's nothing to do but BE
Listen to the song Be Still by The Killers.
That violin is beautiful. Really makes this song.
Self titled vibes were strong in this one ❣️
The violinist brought me back to life 🤍 i cant believe my fav band is in their 40’s now 🥹

Violinist snapped on that solo 😮
I am so glad Amber is back, she was like the real star of the Dirty Projectors
Beautiful song and a beautiful live performance. Vampire Weekend never disappoints
This guy is a genuine poet, their lyrics are such a rich blend of keen insights, always the tension between the good and bad in a world that is continually baffling.
He is the current poet of rock/pop music, much like Simon and Garfunkel were of the 1960s.
I feel that's because Ezra is a smart dude and does often pull from the bible as far as concepts go. Especially the last 2 albums.

Interesting, I thought of it that way.
This album has me listening to Vamp again like I used to
Crisis crew checking in
I’m liking this for my guys

pretty good session, but I do think ezra lifting baio via forklift would add to the energy of the live performance
Mexican TC chapter checkin in
Well…that was dope. And for those who haven’t heard the whole album, it’s a banger. Could be my fav.
Very possibly the best vw album
It’s soaring in my rankings with every listen
This album gets better and better the more you listen to it, incredible.
right?? incredible album!!! i wish more people would be talking about it
Woah I was not expecting to see Amber Coffman joining Vampire!
likely as a session or touring member.
This is THE song I want to be played at my funeral
Totally agree. This and no other 😊
So good to see Amber again ❤
my boy always had them crunchy R’s

Id like to think that it was performing Moon Song with Karen O on the Oscars that made Ezra realize his voice harmonize well with a female voice! 😅
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
wow i had the goosebumps, i think i've dissociated listening to this version. absolutely love it
Oh my God! I'm loving this version!!!!
Can't get better than this
Sounds like when rostam was in band with the classical
thats exactly what i thought. feels like Brynn from the first album
that tambourine tho
What a song. What an album.
This album is so good
That violin solo was sick
This is amazing and so comforting! ❤
Beautiful track, and amazing record.
This is so beautiful ❤
Pretty song.
Wow so beautiful!!
Baio looking so fresh.
OK. That was awesome
please, this should be on Spotify!
This new album is so great
La concentrazione Musicale del Musicista col tamburello... eccezionale. Bravissimi TUTTI!
How does she reach that high note?? Unbelievable

Rock’s not played out dawg

Is the female vocalist from Dirty Projectors?

damn great of you to catch that!

great look for baio here
❤this song very much
I wonder if this is what the tour lineup will look like. Definitely gonna miss the FotB band
Amazing
The drums make all the difference
Masterpiece
Nice version live. Love the call back to Diane Young.
what a lovely stripped down version
Living in the moment
But before you know it
You’ll be looking to the past
Wonderful
Wow!
John Lennon vibes
La grace❤❤
To old for dying young, to young to live alone
Such a great line, right?
Who’s the violinist? That guy plays the steel guitar on “Classical”😂❤
Ray Suen, such a great add for this tour!
cool
I’m a little less embarrassed by my Capricorn tattoo I got at 18. Thanks vamps.
That violin solo sent my heart flying
Was the violinist previously in Mariachi El Bronx?
Is he singing in an Italian accent? It's fantastic!
Wait what, is this Amber Coffman?!?
Listen clearly you don't av to try :p
:v
😭😭 i lost a capricorn recently and i just cant even...
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is that Amber Coffman?
I like how he's looking weird.
Who is the girl?
Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors
@@brandonmaldonado7460 thanks! 🎸

This performance bout to blow up
Too old for Dying Young/Diane Young. Did anyone catch that play on words?

Stripped
1:32 😂😂😂😂
2:25 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This song is so comical I can't
Comical, how?
That part is intentional😂
Great band, but I wish he would give up his faux english accent.
but its so fancy
peter gabriel too
0:39 The year that you were bone 😂😂😂
Still a solid band but they need to get Rostam back badly.
@@classicbambi I did... to Rostam's killer solo work but I still like to listen to VW too.
With all due respect to him, they’re way more interesting than when they were with Rostam :)
Auto tuned shit
They're live, genius.
@@jc2604 do you think its impossible to autotune your vocal in live perfomance? Man, people are dumb.
