This is one of those "first few seconds" songs. I knew in the first few seconds I loved it
By contrast, this one took me a few listens...and now I absolutely love it :)
I can relate instantly fell in love
Yes!! agree, my favorite so far
I honestly can't tell if i love this bc its a masterpiece or just bc my best friend recommended it idk XD
That’s how I was with “This Life” that Intro riff is just magnetizing.
Unbearably long wait for the full album
SOON
May 3rd
BOYYYYYYY - 2021
Tommorrow !!!!
Who cares they're all gay music sucks
The bands vision for this album is really coming together and it’s so refreshing
I felt like they would do some really fresh shit although I read a article about erza saying that they would go a new route.
this song title is inspired by how pitchfork described their first two albums
Accurate descriptor but a big part of why I love it
which is a bit ironic, because one of the primary songwriters of the first two albums was Jewish and the other was Iranian
@@Akatosh86 Jewish people are white..
@@peppa_pig_ they're the OG caucasian
And by the first two you mean the first three I suppose
Awe sweet, a new Sony Music song
it really is a Sony Music song after all
this is an underrated comment
Lmao
Sony Music is becoming one of my favorite bands
They can keep signing music artists/bands and stay away from making movies, Sony Pictures :D
This is my quarantine and chill album
Dude, im glad im not the only one yk
its very upsetting that this comment was from 7 months ago I feel like no one really recognizes how long we've been like this :(
me fucking too. I just discovered it a couple months ago
@@and10op48 nah man a year now
“To learn what kept us together, is what kept us alive.” Great lyric if we can learn to live with someone else, we should be able to live with one’s self in the end
So true
Best song from the album so far
Your name 🙌 one of the best songs on that album
Sunflower would like a word with you
Ummmm...Harmony Hall.
Andrew I is good but cliche
@@andrewi2279 second best
This album is shaping up to be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
All of them are great, but Harmony Hall is honestly still my favorite. This is coming from someone who has been a fan since around the time Contra came out.
@@cagaming9724 Harmony Hall is their best song of all time.
That and Giving Up the Gun are in my opinion.
@@poopsmcgee2k6 it really is. Its incredible
Saving the best single for last, the singles have been a treat so far
Hope the album delivers an excellent cohesive experience
Really digging this song, definitely has a hints of the old VW sound
yep! especially MVOTC!
Add a bit of blues to mvotc
“What kept us together, darling is what kept us alive” money honey
Hahaa
Pretty sure the answer is Love/Faith... This isn’t a song about money lmao
There can't be anything better than waking up at 11 in the afternoon to two new vampire weekend songs and a warm day of just hanging out with friends feeling like kids again.
I think you mean 11:00 in the morning; not afternoon. Unless you actually woke up at 11:00 pm.
@@liamweyer4957 good point, although I guess if I had meant 11:00 pm I would have said 11 in the evening, or 11 at night.
*patiently waiting for lyrics guy*
Fine, here it is:
Baby, I love you
But that is not enough
Pulling away is being unbearably buff
I ran up the mountain
Out of your sight
Snow peak was just unbearably white
The city was freezing
An elegant flow
The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold
You walked to the bedroom
And sat down to write
The page of your notebook was unbearably white
There's an avalanche coming
Don't cover your eyes
It's what you thought that you wanted
It's still a surprise
It's hard on the body
It's hard on the mind
To learn what kept us together, darling
Is what kept us alive
Sooner or later
The story gets told
To tell it myself would be unbearably bold
Presented with darkness
Return to the light
Could've been smart, but just unbearably bright
There's an avalanche coming
Don't cover your eyes
It's what you thought that you wanted
It's still a surprise
It's hard on the body
It's hard on the mind
To learn what kept us together, darling
Is what kept us alive
Called it a day
Called it a night
Callous and cold
And just unbearably white
Called it a day
Called it a night
Callous and cold
And just unbearably white
Called it a day
Called it a night
Callous and cold
And just unbearably white
Baby, I love you
But that is not enough
And pulling away has been unbearably buff
I ran up the mountain
Out of your sight
Snow peak was just unbearably white
Called it a day
Called it a night
Callous and cold
And just unbearably white
Its only beun an hour.
J W 👍🏽
*The page of your notebook was unbearably white
*To learn what kept us together, darling
Is what kept us alive
*The page* of your notebook (not baby)
@@K0ltr0n @Timothy Beckman Fixed, along with some other mistakes I found after listening to it again. Hope everything's correct now.
ezra is such a meticulous songwriter.
2:46 it took me so long to realize those were people skiing. Kept thinking they were some insect or bug like previous videos😂
bruh I was just casually glancing at it and I thought it was a bird
Jonah Sandoval I thought it was a crane😂😂 but than I kept looking at it and I was like Ohh that’s classic it’s a person skiing
Lol thought they was seagulls at firse
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME (my brain was starting to hurt from trying to figure it out)
I really thought it was some sort of bird. It took me a while to see the person skiing 😂
They have such a unique sound!!
I grew up listening to Vampire Weekend and they never disappointed. So glad to see that they release new songs!
That orch hit fills me with joy every time.
Vampire Weekend = Summer
Contra = Autumn
Modern Vampires of the City = Winter
Father of the Bride = Spring
Will this be their final album? I hope not!
Brilliant!
"In *December* drinking Horchata..."
Lovely! I also define or have a season vibe for music. For me it is:
Vampire Weekend = Spring
Contra = Summer
Modern Vampires of the City = Winter (but I can actually listen to it all year round)
Father of the Bride = Spring/Summer
@@WiloPolis03 yeah doesn't the contra album mean it's in winter ?
@@chunkywillo5392 So I guess
Vampire Weekend is Summer (big summer vibes from the guitars),
Contra is Winter (already mentioned),
MVOTC is Fall (idk honestly), and
Father of the Bride is Spring (sunflower, spring snow, release date of early May)
having this song available during a Big Deal Breakup is the highest privilege
Same
Yes.
i really want them to do a tiny desk concert. but with Rostam. Like old times.
And they could play some of his stuff too! Rotam's stuff since leaving has been p good :)
They’re scheduled for one this year
this is their *best released song yet* feels like the old vw, like a summer day
Those violins make me cry, such a beautiful song.
The production is just soooo goooooood it warms my soul 🥰
I wasn’t feeling this sound when the first two songs dropped but it’s certainly grown on me and this album is shaping up to be wonderful
Why does each song keep getting better?
Smart right, part of Ezra’s plan
Thank God! Cuz harmony hall was terrible. Feels like they were auditioning to be the new gilmore girls theme song. My faith is now fully restored.
gabelogan56 You’re terrible
gabelogan56 lol you’re terrible if you think harmony hall is terrible.
@@Pedroelpistolero harmoony hall sucked the sound was boring the the lyrics were recycled
the first song on the album to give me goosebumps
1:52 omg that effect on the guitar is just incredible. Like it's singing.
Ikr its so incredible that even your eyes are bleeding XD
The sound at 2:34 reminds me of Spongebob walking
Reese Cody CANNOT UNHEAR NOW
Reese Cody omg I’m so glad it wasn’t just me 😂
The title of this song is also the description of my beach body
I honestly am so happy to be alive to witness all of this music .... 2019 keeps giving great tunes .
This is hands down the best one imo. 2nd place This Life, then 3rd harmony hall
I just switch Harmony Hall and This life...spot on tho
This album is going to be a masterpiece. It’s already shaping up to be album of the year.
one of those things where the colored lettering on the unbearably white background stays there for a second after it goes away. Bravo Vampire Weekend, bravo.
Definitely my favorite song on the new album. So catchy and beautiful.
Unbearably white sounds like a hate comment left for vampire weekend lol
@@Aaron-vr4yr That article was a load of horse manure written by a SJW snowflake. Sarah Sahim is such an insufferable person.
@@Aaron-vr4yr wow. That is quite possibly the cringiest thing Ive ever read.
@@Aaron-vr4yr Ezra acknowledged that the song is derived from "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unbearable_Lightness_of_Being
@@Aaron-vr4yr The irony of her celebrating Heems...who I liked until he dropped a homophobic verse. Obviously to her that's fine for a minority to do, to oppress a minority like me?
And MIA's politics are really problematic. I say that as a fan, but she's fine with excusing terrorism, even though I think there is just cause there, that is not good.
@@Aaron-vr4yr also putting an American 10's lens re: racism over Belle and Sebastian's Scottish/UK very 70's-80's based work is all kinds of wrong. That band references a very different time, and also culture and place. I don't think dropping desi beats and going reggae would really suit their schtick! And would be appropriation. So people cannot talk about their own worlds? I thought that was the key thing about rap or artists, they talk about their own experiences, rather than pretend it was all multicultural and mixed, while Scotland has less apartheid/segregation than the US it also very white back then, and still is mostly.
It's criminal a song this amazing song only sits at 1.4m views. It could be a 5 minute long loop of just the guitar part and I'd I'd still listen to this daily.
Take note people who keep using "underrated" wrong. This is an example of legitimately underrated.
Used this video to clean my monitor. 10/10 would use again
BREAKING NEWS: I'm dying of high hype levels
unbearably hype
Nobody:
VW: *horror movie orchestra hit in the middle of calm song*
0:51
not gonna lie that kinda scared me lol
i don't like that part lol
I love that, I laughed out loud. I just picture the whole band and the audience doing some kind of synchronized movement together. Such a cool use of the 'Orchestra Hit' sample, it's like the Wilhelm scream of music lol.
the first time I listened to this was when I was stoned and got spooked lol
@@frhhzrh even when you're not stoned it's scary
masturball true, can’t deny that fact
The video concept is pretty awesome.. if you get it, you get it!!!!!
Love when artists put extra creativity into the videos for their singles that aren't actual music videos. Those little ski bois really tie this thing together and drive in the straight white cover.
the pre-chorus is so unbelievably beautiful.
Thank you Vampire Weekend for your eclectic vision
~LOVE THAT DEEP SMOOTH BASS SOUND ALONG WITH THE BONGOS...NOICE~!~
"Unbearably White" debuted at #25 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
"New Alternative 40 Chart" hit #40 on the New Alternitive 40 Chart this week!
Love it, falling in love with this band at the right time.
I just listened to them at the Hollywood Bowl and when I heard 1:13 live for the first time I had goosebumps that never ended and teared up to a beautiful part of the music.
I'm so proud to be a VW fan! ♥
This is Unbearably Beautiful to my ears!
Walter Mitty what’s das fuhrer car gotta do with this
I listen to this song every night, keep up the good work on the BEST MUSIC!!
I've been listening to this album on repeat since it came out, this is one of my favorites from it, this was the track that made me realize Erza had to be the brains of this group from the start.
I've already cried to this, thank you!!!!
this song reminds me of an 80s teen love story between two kids too shy to actually talk to the other first
Pascalis Hnanguie, Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell!!! Have you read that?
That was me growing up, I'm 20 and still barely ever said a word
@@eleanor_disintegrated1141 i haven't yet!! is it good though? might give it a read soon :))
Pascalis Hnanguie yeah i wanna know if it’s good
Amazing! Rainbow Rowell’s best book in my opinion. It’s set in the US in 1986, and Eleanor and Park sit next to each other on the bus and slowly fall in love. The writing is beautiful (so much so that I’ve gone over my favourite quotes with a rainbow highlighter!) and is written so that it feels real, and imperfect, and full of confusion since they are still only 16. I’ve read it multiple times now, and I love it so so much. I could go on about it forever but I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up (in case it’s not their cup of tea) and I think it’s best read not knowing too much about it. I got it for Christmas a few years ago and I remember just sitting by the fireplace for hours, just curled up and reading this book.
1:53 :( ow emotions.
ikr
Ikr, what a wonderful mood :(
VW 2008: The Hudson river all filled with snow
VW 2019: The city was freezing/an elegant floe
It's all connected!
Really enjoying this band. Refreshing sound and clever lyrics.
This song is helping me get through a breakup and I'm so grateful 😔❤️
same
I think this is my favorite song on the album so far!
I've had this stuck in my head for the past week, it's such a good song
Alyssa S. It’s my fav of all the singles dropped so far
This is amazing! This song is what I go to when I need a good break from reality. Beautiful 🤍 🕺
Def my fav drop so far
This will probably end up being my second favorite Vampire Weekend album.
This is the freshest song I've heard in months and I am going to zen out to it endlessly for the next year or so
this clip helps to find dirt on my desktop
My favorite from the album so far!
This song is so brilliantly subdued, I absolutely love it
Beautifully understated. Fast favorite.
I just got into your music and just in time for a new song?! Is this heaven?
all the visuals for this album are incredible
This song is so beautiful & Ezra Koenig is a beautiful writer and lyricist.
0:51 scares the shit out of me everytime
First time I listened to it was in school and I got up so fast every one was looking at me 😂
Definitely my new favourite VW song ❤️
I love Vampire Weekend. Awww guys come to Korea again!!!
I found this song by coincidence, and now I put it on an endless loop. Unbearably joyful to join yalls never-ending weekend parties, vampire band! you have a new fan.
NOTHING COMPARES TO EZRAS VOICE
Sleeping at last maybe?
Ok... this song grew on me and now cant stop listening
Painful. Beautiful. Just like true love
Keep coming back to this song
Yasss!! ❤️
FEURSTE! haha great, I was waiting for the next songs :3
Unbearably White & This Life = best on the album
Fell in love right from the start 😍❤️✌🏻👍🏻
Right on the heart. Hard on the mind.

I love this song. Never been a huge fan of vampire weekend but contra is an amazing album
Same!
I really love this song..i wonder why didn't it reach a million yet 🤔 this is a fabulous song..

My fave band since 8th grade is still killing it and I'm a sophomore in college

Exactly what my cultured friends call me

Best song released so far.
Time to play “how loud can I play this song without waking up my boyfriend” since I can’t find my headphones.
It's so good with headphones!!!
Can't wait for the new album!
