somehow in every song they can appeal to like every emotion I've ever had haha

[@DeathGrunt666]

The emotion I'm feeling rn is boredom.

[@JustPierreMusic]

Still in love with this song.

[@bmint]

I’m still waiting for my audience of one.. But maybe not.. One of my kids loves hanging out with me 😢❤

[@suigetsu777]

one of the greatest song of cold war kids

[@justinschexnayder8485]

I would put Tuxedos up there too

[@butterpasser6968]

Sunday nights that you want her like velvet cake Sweet heart can bargain half price mistakes She will go down with her ship like a good captain You're sitting on the dock playing for an audience of one Pacing your apartment, linoleum floors Get a call from an old friend, she never liked him before He will drive all over three lanes, you sit tight, shotgun Windshield wipers waving for an audience of one You came out from the country wearing mama's clothes You were born in the city with daddy's domino's You need a record you can move to, well, we got one Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one One gets all of you, two's jealous, three gets even less Four divides you up then you're left pleasing all your guests Reach out, you point a finger and touch the globe Spin it round and where it stops you got to pack your bags and go Land in the Mojave desert, you sing for the sun Three's too many when you're playing for an audience of one Two's too busy when you're playing for an audience of one One is the only way you're playing for an audience of one

[@gsingh350z]

man these guys know music so underrated

[@henxo2382]

Can't believe mainstream media overlooked amazing music and artists like this for absolute piss wash imagine what the scene woulda been like now I'm not gonna lie these guys are up at the top with the Smith's and the Beatles and I don't listen to the beatles much.

[@mikees24]

The best part 0:00 - 3:02

[@thisguyy]

A pun! Lol nice

[@mitchell8940]

They always have the most beautiful women in their videos.

[@issa4196]

IKR? polina sova looks so beautiful on all this could be yours video

[@pantagruel1066]

I've watched this a thousand times and just barely got the Talented Mr Ripley reference.

[@ilikeutubejustfine]

I really like this song a lot! They have some similarities with a band I really like called PEOPLE IN PLANES. Can anyone tell me which other COLD WAR KIDS songs I might have heard before. I'm curious to see if any COLD WAR KIDS fans know who PEOPLE IN PLANES is,... and if you like them.

[@prodigalsonresurrection]

It's so weird to see this song is 13 years old now... damn, where has the time gone?

[@muhbawz]

Am I the only one wondering what the hell is going on here?

[@nugsy7983]

God I fucking love this song

[@johnnerren6766]

Song almost brings me to tears everytime. Seems I'm always playing for an audience of one.

[@bmint]

I feel this!

[@TheJoyfulAussie]

Does anyone know why this version isn't on Spotify? I only have a live version.

[@alexdcasablancas]

Indie Répertoire brought me here! You can find it with Google. :-)

[@leonardoribeiro85]

Essa música estava sempre presente na minha playlist do ensino médio. BR aqui!

[@zimmychu8722]

So glad I found these guys! Amazing!

[@zackl4307]

All that water makes me want to pee..

[@sailoranglin]

[@kadimbobbitt3326]

Does anyone know who the blonde model with the green blouse might be? She is stunning

[@fronesis01]

[@gilgamess]

I was listening to a freakbeat single from the '60's, "Walking Walking Walking" by the Favourite Sons and this song was one of the links after that finished playing. What in the hamfat does THIS have to do with THAT?

God.. so good.

[@MyFavorites791]

@jpenns Has nothing to do with their musical decisions, and everything to do with their business decisions. I want to love these guys until the end of time, but with a producer with a track record like that, I can't blindly follow them. As I said, the producer makes indie bands/musicians into pop music idols, which is something they don't need at all. They have a great style all their own, and they should evolve along those lines, not change to grab mass appeal.

[@MyFavorites791]

@jpenns They have said straight up that this EP is the end of their old style, and that their simple, indie rock ways are basically dead come the next album. The producer is also famous for sell out albums, that manage to make the band very popular with the masses, but very unpopular with the base. Been a fan of this band for years now, and they've been in my CD drive in the car for well over a year (Great cruising music) but I just can't support their decision with this.

[@PhilipvanHecke]

@doksekko What could I expect... The masculine ideal is surely a high-pitched and feeble-voiced metro who wears those skinny womanly clothes nowadays. What then could I expect but praiseworthy recognition of the masculity of a dude's voice that attained not only pitch and intensity, but famele timbre as well.

[@jpenns]

OK. Maybe you could wait to hear what their new style sounds like before judging it. Bands change and grow, if you've liked their musical choices up until this point, that shouldn't necessarily change just because their newer choices appeal to the masses. I guess I'm just done with the concept that music is only good if it doesn't have mass appeal

[@MyFavorites791]

Shame that they're using the same producer as the one that did the latest Kings of Leon CD... Cold War Kids, you had something special, and you're essentially saying that is not enough. You can chase fame, but fame is fleeting. Art is forever, and your music has been some of the best artistic works that has been available for quite some time. The bus stops here, folks.

[@Nhxn_]

@memetacular OK, why isn't VEVO breaking the law? All they are doing is posting up videos, other people post up videos with songs, and get copyrighted, while VEVO doesn't, its because the pay youtube money, normal youtubers don't break the law if they include "no copyright intended" in their description.

[@MeowMeowMeowMeow1234]

I could be really off about this, but I feel like the woman in the video goes through guys, metaphorically throwing them off her boat when she's gotten what she wants out of them. And then she moves onto the next and does the same. That's just my perception of the video.

[@KuraMad2000]

I can't believe people mistake this guy's voice for a woman's. I first heard this song on the radio with crappy static signal and I could still tell it was a guy. Now the first time I hear Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups, I couldn't tell if it was a guy or girl. This one's pretty obvious I think.

[@CincoFacts]

Let's go

[@Naeolden]

Back in the old days Alot of black women or men would make music that carry alot of soulful melodies like the lead singer of cold war kids, so its understandable why "lagforfun" would think it was a African american...^ ^

[@anhslaught7950]

Such a great song but I have no idea what it means.

[@Mallowization]

That's how I feel! I'm straight up obsessed with the song, but not because the lyrics really speak too much to me or anything. I think the song is just about a break up, really.

[@luisalvarado9375]

Andy Tu I think that is about, focusing in only one person, or in one thing, giving everything for it; and the complications that you have when doing it

[@proudlyrushian]

I. Love. His. Voice. High voices ftw.

[@animemefreak74]

@lagforfun don't worry ;-; when I first heard that crap song "price tag," I don't know who made it, it's mainstream, I thought it was a black person.

[@25dellisc]

@cottonsda i saw them live and the lead singer made some comment about that even. but you're right, he doesn't sound that much like a girl. amazing song though, i love it.

[@jzrouse28]

who's side are you on? If your on God's side send this to 10 people. If your on the Devil's side then don't send. God is going to fix 2 things for you tonight.

[@mattox198183]

it makes sense its about a girl being pregnant i would think. since she cant drink the alcohol or coffee and he doesnt want to talk about it.(audience of one)

[@mattox198183]

it makes sense its about a girl being pregnant i would think. since she cant drink the alcohol or coffee and he doesnt want to talk about it.(audience of one)

[@enviroshare3212]

he looks like woody harelson

[@PeriLuvsRio]

@lagforfun you cant claim to ever have listened to this song or cwk and think he is a woman. He sounds nothing like one! You obviously can't hear...

[@Yuppppppppppp1]

the reason male singers sound like a fenale is because they can hit the high notes....notice alot of great singers who all sound like females

[@eliptoid]

some kids are intelligent. We're all allowed to be stupid once in a while, some people abuse that right. You havn't heard of Universal TehAWAL?

[@SunshineCasy]

@JCredible86 Really? I have two moms and I thought this was a man's voice...what exactly does having two moms have to do with it?

[@cherrylady1234567]

@doksekko thats exactly what my comment's message was. youve seemed to place the wrong username in front of that comment of yours.

[@21DieselBoy21]

Is it "when she rifles" or "windshield wipers"? I personally think it's the latter, but most lyric sites have it as the first one.

[@ThisIsJessPaul]

I fell in love with this song as soon as you guys released it- great vid! I'm such a big fan :D

[@marvinfinite]

you came out the country, wearing mama’s clothes

[@RyanAndKeller]

Audience?! Wha! What are you doing in a song title audience? That's precarious. INTRO OF DARKNESS THEN REDNESS THEN WHITENESS.

[@randolpho-]

This is my favorite CWK song as of yet! And one of my faves for 2010. (Techically this came out in 2009, I know, but at the ass-end of 2009)

[@aleHAHAndra]

-OmG! I listened this song at the radio I though the singer was a female O.o hehe such a mistake XD anyways GREAT song!

[@cherrylady1234567]

@peacemaker898 not even close..whatsoever, im under the impression that youve never heard a black woman sing before

[@Benjofresh]

Audience? What are you looking at the music video for Audience? Cold War Kids, that's very precarious audience...

[@smashingtoxin]

nice song. catchy. how much does nathan willett (lead singer) look like a younger brother of woody harrelson?

[@orangeorphan]

@TehSaint i like vevo. the quality is 10 times better. you probably have a slow connection if it's lagging.

[@AnOriginalPenguin]

@lagforfun i thought Chris Rea was a black man but i cant see where the confusion has come from here?!

[@danielright1515]

Been searching for this song a month!!! Finally found it. Such a gem

[@mnomnomnomno]

@muhbawz after watching the music video for beck's gamma ray you understand everything... even this

[@cherrylady1234567]

@doksekko Hey God! how are you? oh sorry, i mistaked you for him, since your perfect. and all. not.

[@MsrUtube951]

@lagforfun haha I hear it now that you mention it. He reminds of Tracy Chapman for some reason

[@issa4196]

cant believe i saw them live, PLEASE COME BACK TO BRAZILLL

[@jesselewis13]

dont know how they copied rise against when its called audience, not audience of one..

[@jesselewis13]

@caballon30 nah they didnt steal it mate, its called audience, not audience of one

[@Imexplicitdontdissit]

depends on the song. for me sum vevo sucks balls but for sum its better than normal.

[@edensgotskills]

I dont think he's ugly i think he has a really friendly face.Hes got spunk! hehehe

[@IJTop200]

I like this song, but why does it have to be on VEVO. What's the point of VEVO?

[@kalen7777777]

@iheartpurrple yeah your probably right sorry I was just pissed at the time lol.

[@mergencemusic]

If you like this, you may also like a band called Mergence. look them up

[@carleyschaeper5578]

Will always love this song

[@felipecavalcante4007]

2010 was one of the best years for music

[@12badmired]

[@patldennis]

[@marvinjones5000]

[@hollybauer739]

Marvin Jones I don’t think it means what you think it means..........

[@JCredible86]

[@delosanator13]

@ChocoMog230 his name is claudio sanchez....NOT coheed lol just saying

[@jeffthemoonbear1]

[@theusedrock777]

[@duarcha53]

black woman? you got to be kiddin me what are you? a white girl?

[@jbalboy1234]

Does anyone else think the lead singer looks like Quentin Tarantino?

[@PhilipvanHecke]

@doksekko What do you mean? I have no doubts about my bissexuality.

[@PeriLuvsRio]

Why don't we focus on this kickass band and song instead of Vevo...

[@koza420]

Bit different to their older stuff, but its fu*$ing awsume!!!!!!

[@MizZuStoOd]

@MsrUtube951 correction. tracy chapman sounds like a chap lol.

[@seraphim1447]

18 people are playing for an audience of more than one.

[@PhilipvanHecke]

@xxforyou23 Because the guy has no male voice, perhaps?

[@Hotmo08]
