Dirty Projectors - Overlord (Official Music Video)

[@devastatingcomplexity7279]

This is officially my quarantine 2020 song, and probably my favorite song of the decade thus far.

[@Shuborno]

Definitely the best song I heard this year.

[@TheBmills415]

Same here

[@gabedepaul5407]

Same!

[@peoniesandparchment]

this was my quarantine song too!

[@BenSchillaci]

One of my favourite music projects I found coming out of highschool at the beginning of last decade. Found Dave's songwriting while I was experimenting a bunch and felt less alone making music! This new track and video fit so tightly together. Thank's for the continued wonderful music!

[@heilapaulino7602]

Maia Friedman has the voice of an ANGEL.

I JUST LOVE DIRTY PROJECTORS SO MUCH

[@snoozieboi]

First song I heard what Knotty Pine on the Dark Was the Night album. Anybody not having heard it, go check it out!

[@arthurlecomte8950]

Dirty Projectors loves you too

[@matthewr7593]

@@snoozieboi That song is so legendary. Right when I discovered the band along with St. Vincent, Grizzly Bear, etc.

I can feel your passion through your use of capitals. 🤭 I have been bitten by these musical artists, too.

dirty projectors' stuff continue to be, after all these years, extremely refreshing

The shot at 2:33 is the corner of Havemeyer and Broadway under the Marcy Av J/M/Z stop in Williamsburg.

Oh, fear is old Please don't yell at the train, just get aboard Oh, we go forth Those who stay behind will be left on the shore Who could afford not to be a part of what we're pushing toward? Over-over-over-overlord Over-over-over-overlord Oh, overlord Please don't be magnanimous, protect your neck Oh, overlord Marshal my desires to your call and beck Oh, it's assured Good outweighs bad as we approach perfection Over-over-over-overlord Over-over-over-overlord How can you try to help me? How can you try not to help me? Help me (Help me), help me (Help me) Help me (Help me), help me (Help me) Oh, overlord Take the ones below me and I'll hold the sword Oh, overlord Who could serve a master who sits over lord? Over-over-over-overlord Over-over-over-overlord Over-over-over-overlord Over-over-over-overlord

[@rafaelpernil]

Just perfect. Perfect video, perfect music, perfect mix, perfect aesthetic. Simply put, Dirty Projectors

[@starwart2000]

The great thing about this song is that even as sweet as the melody and vocals are, the lyrics are rather dark.

[@rayhart7513]

JeffersonBrownie hit up Frightened Rabbit if you like surprisingly dark upbeat-sounding music.

[@HWHAProb]

Dirty Projectors love that shit. About to Die, Depression, What I See, Gimmie Gimmie. All super fun upbeat tracks but like damn the lyrics make me want to die

Whew, I love this side of the DP's music.

[@19matt66]

best song of the year so far, wonderful

[@malcolmz2360]

Been listening to this (and the most recent) DP-song on repeat. Really like the path Dirty Projectors are taking here. And the new singer is clearly a huge win for the project. Superb voice, great charisma and calmness. Really touching.

[@vraikorrigan]

The best video I've seen in years.

[@peoniesandparchment]

you have the voice of an angel

[@jimsmint]

god damn, what a totally beautiful song.

[@jozuafc-fifa22playerguides84]

feels really great that we have an updated "swing lo magellan" vibe to dirty projectors again~

[@NegativeBodhiImage]

definitely the best DP we've had since Swing Lo Magellan

[@andreavh29]

Dirty Projections music feels like a breath of fresh air for me 🎶

[@diegosanchezescobar2159]

This reminds a lot to Swing Lo Magellan. Hope their next album returns to a sound similar to that

[@arthurlecomte8950]

Yes, this singer makes it really feel like the girls are back

[@diegosanchezescobar2159]

It didnt :(

[@mattl7886]

Deep. And vocally perfect.

[@sweatpants7072]

what building is that at 1:29? i just saw it in another video.

[@JonathonV]

It's called the Vessel; it's at Hudson Yards in New York City.

[@sweatpants7072]

Jonathon VS now im trying to remember the short film i saw it in before this lol. Very cool building.

A dark reminder that when fascism comes it'll be with upbeat fanfare.

[@bostonmarketfeministbookclub]

@Johnathan Lo I don't understand what that means, but if this comment is real, I'd really suggest taking a second to think inwardly about why your first inclination in an off topic conversation is to defend fascism.

[@bostonmarketfeministbookclub]

@@ThreeFontStreet Seems sort of like you're imagining who I am and what my idea is. I'm happy to go over an interpretation of the lyrics if you'd like, which is what I commented on, but to be honest it seems like you want to cast me in a role in a culture war I'm not entirely sure I understand.

[@lelandrb]

@@ThreeFontStreet (this is literally a song about fascism)

[@bestfullyy]

@@ThreeFontStreet the song is explicitly about big corporations and petty fascism........

[@daltonlunn1653]

It's interesting to look at it from the "other side" of the fascism we're dealing with too. I feel like DP have been about this with the left and right, blue and red juxtaposition of the sides of their album covers. Specifically Lamp Lit Prose and Overlord.

[@kingkush8201]

Their vocal skill is hella underated!👍🔥

The Oculus, Hudson Yards/The Vessel, and 432 Park: three of the most obnoxious NYC monuments to neoliberalism

[@harrissharriss]

i think that's the point

[@joshd1196]

@@harrissharriss I agree, just wanted to give some context for non-New Yorkers

[@renshiwu305]

Hmm, I thought the space at 1:30 was interesting and beautiful. Maybe New York could use more "neoliberalism." Some of the most notable buildings in Manhattan are named for companies (the Chrysler Building, Citigroup Center) or rapacious capitalists (Rockefeller Center).

[@WanderingIdiot81]

@@joshd1196 appreciate it! I live in one of those hollowed out small towns. Another hallmark of neoliberalism

[@ritchiehemphill5860]

This feels like the first essential DP song since swing lo cant believe they are hitting a stride this early into the new line up.

[@Olhado256]

I like the self titled album a lot and I think it has at least three essential songs but maybe it should have been released as Dave's solo album because it was so different. For DP as a full band, I agree this is the first exciting song since Swing Lo.

[@ritchiehemphill5860]

Ur literal right about self titled and that’s a life style is so great too. I felt like this was REALLY good but those ones are good too what a good band

[@max_mittler]

"That's a lifestyle" and "Right now" are both essentials for me. Lamp lit prose didn't get a lot of hype but I absolutely loved it.

[@pppmbteaching]

@@max_mittler agreed! "That's a lifestyle" is one of the best.
