Astronautalis - The Wondersmith and His Sons (Official Music Video)

[@xnotfortheworldx]

It's really fucking hard not to play this on repeat 10,000 times a day.

[@enchantrem]

I literally just discovered this song yesterday and have played it at least a hundred times.

[@HugKnucklesTV]

I love this song, it's been stuck in my head ever since I heard it years ago

[@Leesaw709]

Chatted with Astronautalis last night at a venue in Minneapolis and cheered over some drinks - simply down to earth, genuine, and so talented. Highlight of the night!

[@codyallen8061]

Lisa Marie Evanson he is the coolest guy ever. So nice to fans, like you said. Genuine to a fault

[@Slowtown907]

Lisa Marie Evanson he named me pope of Alaska in the same type of encounter

[@jessicathurston1645]

He really is the best! I fell in love the very first time I saw him perform live at a p.o.s show at the crofoot in mi. It was him and a lap top. His voice, his contagious energy!!! Definitely one of my top 5 favorites!!!

[@jessicathurston1645]

And yes beyond polite to fans. Always saw him at small Michigan venues but everytime he remembered (or acted) like he remembered my brother and I We would see him everytime he came to Michigan and we always saw a couple who where at all his mi shows as well. Always fun visiting outside the venue before the show.

[@Emadnhasan]

@@codyallen8061 this sadly did not age well

[@XxBloodyCrumpet23xX]

He has the most beautiful blue eyes... I'm so happy.

[@franktetanus3610]

I only heard of this guy because Charlie has stickers of him all over his apartment in the show Sunny in Philadelphia and this guy is phenomenal

[@juiceboisupreme]

Yoooo I never noticed that. That's so dope.

[@Dontevenaskmebro]

These lyrics are genius. Very literary. And the musical arrangements too

[@icypenguinparty]

Glad theres still ppl appreciating this song. This song was a big part of my middle childhood

[@SeriyaDL]

Absolutely. Great storytelling, great lyricism. I still find myself musing about how to interpret "a smile safecrackers understand"...

[@savs1957]

This was posted on my birthday, my junior year in highschool. Loved this song forever, constantly singing this.

[@KasirRham]

This guy should be far more famous

[@BothHands1]

KasirRham Fr dude He's so good. 500k views n 9k subs? Wtf is goin on??

[@kevzeman]

Mist have to do with admitting to sexually assaulting multiple women. But actually.. It being the entertainment industry.. Shouldn't that make him more famous?

[@ChristopherStone]

So glad he's opening for Flobots next month.. they compliment each others sounds so much

[@happyhapsly]

ooohhh so thats why spotify reccomended it to me.. yeah flobots is the shit

[@youngmancoyote]

I think I can speak for all of us and say, This is what we've all been waiting for.

[@pbatej]

This has been on repeat. the perfect cure to my recent yearning for awesome music

[@DCSTUBZ]

Couldn't help thinking of The Brothers Karamazov when I first heard this.

[@okamiwolf250]

saw him monday, hugged him and had a conversation, great guy, and what an animal on stage.

[@TheMusicalMrJones]

Dear Astronautalis..., YOUR A FREAKIN GENIUS MAN!!!!!!!!!

[@dominikagenzorova2908]

Hey Astronautalis! Happy to see ya in Czech republic so many times! :) I think we (as nation) like you, cause you are different rapper-singer. You do not wear big necklaces, sunglases, you are not bossy and do not use many weird chicks in you clip. Simplicity and deepness of your lyrics, that´s what WE Love!

[@celestekittie]

Dominika Genzorová Same. He was the only rapper I liked and only learned about him because my husband grew up with him. There is another I just saw on America's Got Talent that reminded me of him last night named Chaze Goegrek or something. He got the gold button.

[@sirtimatbob]

If you like him, here's some more recommendations for you. Grieves, Early Adopted, Wax. Lastly Sadistik, but that's a different genre kind of.

[@MarthaGarvey]

Wow. This guy is a star. What a song.

[@Eccentrick218]

Great song, can't stop listening to this!

[@Triquetrafilms]

Absolutely LOVE this song, and the video is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely love the energy, emotion and everything in between . Can't get enough!!

[@ReverendBenzo]

I've seen him live four times (the last one was at the Savannah Stopover festival at The Wormhole) and as soon as goes on tour for his new album it be my fifth time.

[@1UnknownError]

Amazing performer. So much energy

[@edaem3]

If some of you are wondering why he's basically smiling while being dragged. It's the blood loss. He's delirious. The blood loss would also explain why his face is so red in some places.

[@ravensetc]

thats a really clever detail actually

[@victoriajackson460]

Ooooh see I thought it was because it's just a fucking music video and no one gives a shit why 😂 dumbass

[@kierancreighton96]

Its just a music video But make of it what you must Guy got caught, chat sh*t get cut

[@nestorfeelings]

Great tune.

[@notpumkin]

Awesome song and video. Needs way more views.

[@Blackspawn20]

I've probably listened to to this song fifty times in the past 24 hours. So goddamn good.

[@mr.laplaguea]

As you should, rightfully so

[@ingowamv8587]

lol back when i first watched this it reminded me so much of the relationship i was in at the time. looking back at it that was the moment i should've just ended it.

[@jennifercampbell3997]

Wonderful video!, Great voice for the art he speaks....

[@WoundedHuntress]

This artist is like, UNKNOWN. I don't understand; I love him to bits and every other creature on this godforsaken planet looks at me, confounded, and goes "Astronaut-what? Also there's no such thing as rap about stuff like rivers and woods." YES THERE IS, BITCHES, YES THERE IS

[@dunkelstevenson4413]

Check out buck 65, namely his album talkin honky blues or this right here is buck 65

[@flippiie]

1:57-1:59 is my favorite shot. the concept of this whole video is awesome.

[@rabidfish02]

At 2:43 I was anticipating seeing a surprise guest appearance from R. Kelly.

[@ulisesmora7727]

why's that?

[@ulisesmora7727]

rabidfish02 lol yea i already knew about that. Its just that every time i think of R. Kelly I think "trapped in the closet"

[@michaczerwinski3324]

I died XD

[@brettdusek]

Whoa.. that would be tooooo much. Yes, go for it!

[@stankynewton]

Can't help but notice the Missoula plates on the car. Sweet!

Interesting filming! I'm in love with the song and filming style.

[@PastyNoob]

Holy shit, first song in my life that i cannot stop listening to, simply got it on repeat and not getting sick of it.

[@wwaxwingcrashh]

How is it even possible to dislike this?

[@Leanighya]

-Intense-. Just WOW. I loved it! It gave me a whole new depth and meaning to the song, awesome job! (He's easy to look at too which makes it even better ;D)

[@1387jackblack]

This is criminally under watched...

[@DylanFergusC]

putting this song higher in the algorithm because it is so hard to find, but when you need to hear it again, it is the only thing that will do

[@IndifferenThoraxe]

Loved the new video, 2:39 - 2:58 was pure brilliance. Nice twist on the tale you've so excellently spun.

[@gordanfreeman4363]

You sir! Have rustled my jimmies quite nicely.

[@DSAhmed]

good stuff, ma man. Pretty original. I dig it.

[@notpumkin]

This is very Moby-like album. The approach to composing, the guitars, I even almost hear his voice in the background.

[@charblastaur5895]

Litty 🔥

[@RockGoddessBlack]

Saw him last night in Cambridge, MA. The crowd was all about him.

[@solemnlyofficial6334]

Clever 👍

I searched Deltron/Gorillaz on Spotify earlier today and it led me to this. This makes me so happy.

[@LordCoko]

Come back in Montreal buddy! ;)

[@DeathsPit00]

I've listened to this song so many times. I love the song, but tbh I'm still not 100% sure what the song is actually about. lol

[@y0mama152]

DeathsPit00 same

[@nineflames12]

It’s about a family of con artists. The father taught his three sons how to lie and scam, but karma catches up with them and the only survivor of the family is the middle son (singing the song).

[@elizaindisguise]

this song is so ridiculously good jesus christ

[@WolfLabel]

BEST RANDOM CLICK EVER!!!!

[@SlipknotFerret]

WTF? It's been posted for over a month with only 500 views? If I found out about this the day it came out I would have already watched it that many times.

[@aimeeschaffer9249]

i like your songs soooooo

Still fucking amazing as ever.

[@bthoitsify]

definitely, here in the twin cities, we've been obsessed for a while now, I think he's about to blow up, real big, real soon

[@roslandprophecies]

I met you at a buck show last year in portland. fucking rad... love that you love to talk shit after drinking whisky... my thing too...

[@misspuffin21]

awesome video. I saw you perform in Missoula, MT a little over a year ago, and have been waiting on tender hooks for you to come back. I noticed the license plate in the video is from Missoula- did you film it here?

Same
