Lower Dens - Brains (Official Video)

[@samsoniteman]

1:41 - 3:29 is one of my favorite moments in music i've ever heard

[@sensitiverambo]

I hear ya.

[@strangegardens]

This is one of the most perfect songs ever written.

[@meganbeth9280]

I got my rejection letter to graduate school today. I also found this song and it made me feel a little better and like a little less of a failure.

[@kewandnotu]

Megan Beth if it makes you feel a bit better...i spent 11 years in college and the highest degree i have is bachelor's... didn't leave me any room for a higher degree : [

[@wilburfierce5312]

Megan Beth YES !!!!! The miracle of great music. W/o this music and my dog I would have swallowed the pistol a long time ago.

[@laurenrael8906]

Terry Barham LD music changed my life. Have you listened to their new album?

[@laurenrael8906]

Lauren Shettler you guys check out my channel. I just uploaded a live video of this song from last Friday's show

[@redfoxxx2162]

no disrespect to your situation but fuck grad school. It's just more debt piled on to all the debt you accumulated in college I'm up to my eyes in school loans

[@jacobwood2251]

Starting the day Staying awake Everything will change While you're asleep While you're breathing Do you believe? No one is waiting Brains without names I found myself turning back to look At the seas of people beneath me Betrayed the design by release of immature emotion I went to work Had my suit jacket and hat in hand A gate's crashed and flung wide Used by our servants; Heads are hanging I went to church and forgot I ever could believe Questions for the past of their clear minds Were their thoughts without designation and division Something desperate's up my sleeve And no lines allow for mapping Cause I close my eyes and feel the teeth of the machine Walking on Us underneath Ever harder to believe I was ever holding my suit jacket And hat in hand Your nightmares/your creation I objected with a knife And when I finally let my guard down I was in the middle of the sea and drowning Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Everything will change While you're asleep While you're breathing Do you believe? No one is waiting Brains without names

[@gowiththeflow1476]

Thanks for the lyric “sheet”. It’s kind of you.

[@DeadLuck9]

i think i have an addiction to constantly find good music.no matter how many songs i download im never satisfied.It drives me crazy that theirs really great songs i never heard of out in the world which i probably will never hear.

[@Screens4Eyes]

So beautiful. love this band.

[@erica2656]

This song makes me tear up every time. I love it so much

[@filmpjesfrancis]

Listened over and over to this tonight... Makes me feel wonderful...

[@JarretLaMark]

One of the best modern, and way underappreciated bands. I just love their sound.

[@wtfarockfish]

does this song ever get old. no? ok.

[@snwrhood]

never

[@FM-pr1ht]

Nope. 3-11-24😊

[@Nailthesnail]

nope

[@mehdihallouche9347]

one of the best song of the year

[@emmanuelcamacho1921]

How the video starts and how the video ends is the same. But what's in between is what goes on in the head. The struggles, the moments of doubt, not knowing if you'll fail or succeed. But all of this I think makes you ready.

[@robbyslaw]

this is saving me from death.

[@laurenrael8906]

+noneofyoucanspell best comment I've ever read

[@hugoprimera937]

Can't escape death it's just around the corner, nothing anybody can do about it. Still I know what you mean, your friend Hugo thou I don't know you, wishing you only the best. Homeless in Sun Valley, California stay strong till the end.

[@marcelhorak7922]

me too lol

[@ISa-jy8ol]

God bless you both! Everything will be ok. You are loved so dearly.

[@seltonk5136]

Warmest regards licky good luck of all blessings

[@edwardthegreat7255]

how does nobody know that this is possibly the best music video ever made?

[@lauraharden9305]

Jana is an incredible talent. I am totally fascinated by this album. I have been listening to it for a year now. The theme is intriguing. The music and lyrics are incredible. Ah-mazing talent!

[@groxle]

Great song. Great performance. Great video.

[@ZXPA2]

Best video in a long time, from anyone. They are going to hit hard.

[@Kim-oj1xb]

Discovered in 2019, still best song of 2019

[@tyroneslothrop2186]

A must have. Definitely one of the best songs & album of the year. Lower Dens finally made it,

[@daytripperarrabal]

I know it's been 5 years since then, but PLEASE listen to the entire album. It's a life changing experience, not kidding.

[@edwindavidson2892]

Simply, amazing, and so much more.

[@eric1012wi]

This song just moves. It goes to another level at 1:48. Love those synths. :)

[@jadakiss98682]

I'm with you. This song is gonna be hard to repeat for anyone in the future and I'm surprised it's getting snubbed from songs of the year lists. I think people just haven't found it yet, or listened to it enough

[@meerkatski]

Quality. Looking forward to seeing them live in May.

[@MercuryClock]

I listened to this album/band for the first time last night and was blown away. Very Neu!-esque drumming.

[@lymenos]

Simply MAGNIFICENT!

[@panzercat39]

Love that this dude below took the time to write out the lyrics,and is it just me or do these lyrics spell out our doom at the hands of zombies?

[@konniexxx]

listening on loop

[@hygmonster]

Great song. Great video.

[@corycripmaster]

Zombie Apocalypse, it came to mind before SubPoper wrote the lyrics out but now that I see what she is chanting/singing it makes even more sense. Fantastic song and a great video as well.

[@elninyoprobeta]

Great song!

[@CedarPinesFieldGrove]

This song ended up being my top listen of 2023 at 1143 plays. I’m have autism and adhd and this song has just been IT lately. Finally accepted I’m a trans woman after 5 years of thinking about it and lots of therapy. E has been a truly life saving treatment

[@clayguy33]

Had forgotten about this from a few years ago. What a gem. Shoot... Anthem more like it. :)

[@sicknessmusik]

Such a great great song.

[@Scubadevils]

Wow, thank fck for end of year lists... I may have never discovered these guys otherwise. Along with many others.

[@sogremlin]

Beyond perfection...

[@davidtravis8828]

Finally addicted to something good.

[@GirlWatChOuTnow]

i cant believe i barely found this and it came out when i was in high school

[@nannakolding]

F YEAH! Can't wait for the new album to come out.

[@rodrigoaraya7568]

this song, this album, this band, makes wanna scream, laught, and cry I cant belive the level of perfection of this music, is from another lever, this is amazing, this song really touch my BRAIN and makes me feel the best feel ever, EPIC

[@mattokc]

Okay, I just found this band tonight after a friend emailed me and told me it was like Siouxsie and the Banshees. I love this stuff!

[@GhalkeLawl]

Saw a video of a skating dude with this song. Searged in the commend section for an name saw a name Lower Dens and typed it and scrolled and my first click was right to this one. Nice

[@theKCRoyalty]

Song of the year, in my opinion. This band is on another level, people don’t realize it. If Lower Dens passes their whole career in obsurity people are going to look back a couple decades from now and they’re gonna be like “how the fuck?”

[@ustexasjoe]

Right on!

[@neurochunk]

brilliant

[@chrisshelley4623]

This and Nervous are my literal life songs

[@leticiaswd]

Wow, this is really great...

[@joshking7462]

At the end, did anyone else think genuinely, "yes! we made it through the video without cracking a full smile!" ?

[@GhalkeLawl]

No. But now i failed.

[@OMGstephanieee]

Love

[@ja1002]

Listening to this song in Feb 2012 gave me the courage to change my life. I couldn't make a better decision.

[@freedomnnm]

great video!

[@Lemur265]

No way...COOL! They need to do a whole album now. Since we know they are friends!

[@panzercat39]

majestic

[@ChristGodinyouItrust]

I love Lower Dens!

[@ofarevolution441]

God, experiencing this live made me forget where I was for a second. Beautiful track.

[@synthesean91]

This is pretty cool, nice work.

[@Qarloable]

I love how this guitar riift just assaults you as the song climaxes. EARGASMMMM

[@hilsideutube]

beginning sounds just like lay down the truth by low sea and I LOVE IT

[@brunobliss]

if only my laptop would play this louder ...

[@wilburfierce5312]

brunobliss I think the levels are off on this upload ???????

[@brunobliss]

Maybe, ita certainly hard to listen to with water running

[@okonos]

Get a small portable speaker, it helps

[@okonos]

Also adds a bit more bass

[@wilburfierce5312]

brunobliss then turn the water off LOL

[@habatyu]

My fave thing about December tbh.

[@angiegarcia9464]

YES!

[@TheChimp1980]

Tune!

[@iamaweasel]

6M - bringing the best to those that will appreciate it. My copy already ordered.......

[@joshualucas6693]

Perfect to listen to on long journeys

[@laurenrael8906]

+Joshua Lucas yep. going to see them in DC and planning on playing it on repeat

[@redfoxxx2162]

trucking though Colorado with this on repeat

[@laurenrael8906]

yay! I am seeing them in Detroit in September

[@ellemmay]

Awww yeah!

[@TheNJUnderground]

yeahhhh!

[@attiliotom]

when it starts reminds me the track "Dont' say no" (Can, from the album Saw Delight). and i like it.

[@flemwad]

God made this. A genius channelled it to us.

[@ISa-jy8ol]

.............and that genius doesnt yet identify in their own life how God is/was/will be and always has been with them. The singer strongly identifies as an atheist......all the while combatting difficulty in life like we all do but without the reliance on God..........facing the knife......dealing with the medical industrial complex as the singer undergos gender reassignment surgeries with the expectation that they will be happier once that is done.......everything will change, while your asleep........these surgeries massacre the natural body and the majority of individuals find themselves deeply regretting their decision to go through such an extreme process to accept themselves.........these vulnerable demographics therefore become the victims of our medical industrial complex blaming the struggles which inevitably.follow the procedures on a God they bitterly curse at or stubbornly refuse to recognize. Accept yourself the way you are. Dont hurt yourself for any reason including unneccesary surgeries. If you want to be a man, be one. Dont mutilate your female gebitals to live the way you want to. Boycott allopathy. It murders and maims countless people. Listen to this wonderful song.

[@corycripmaster]

I put headphones on my friends ears and play this video when I want them to feel what I feel.

[@taylorsanders9828]

greatest actor of all time

[@endthelogin]

This track has stuck with me, the vocals remind me of Siouxsie's work on Rapture.

[@rashadrussell9469]

strange video awesome music.

[@cozzolino77]

this song is stamped on my face

[@johnnygogo]

Isto é melhor que bom. É uiquebom!

[@DoDemBeats]

great use of the TV filter effect. now no one else can use it. lol

[@josemanuelmeleropsychospain]

great

[@hotchipco1]

If I don't listen to this track at least once a week I go all Cold Turkey!

[@panzercat39]

I suspected the same,but your right seeing the second verse spelled out it makes sense.

[@nexiza]

sailing the ways

[@KaraCarterRocks]

If only the machines' rise against us would be so beautiful.

[@launderground]

we love lower dens.

[@mcslaphappy]

It is my new obsession to learn this on piano.

[@speaks_volumes]

That is always quite a journey. I came from black metal shoegaze, took me an hour to get here.

[@ISa-jy8ol]

What is this black meyal shoegaze you speak of?

[@ISa-jy8ol]

Like catharsis song deserts without mirages?

[@erikabonsai]

esta canción me ha volado los cesos, supongo que por eso se llama "brain" fuckin great song!

[@LloydC1000]

Wow.

[@jumbetto]

see pitchfork top 100 songs of the year, number 84

[@SubPoper]

I found myself turning back to look at the seas of people beneath me Betrayed the design by release of immature emotion I went to work, had my suit jacket and hat in hand A gate's crashed and flung wide Used by our servants, heads are hanging. I went to church and forgot i ever could believe Questions for the past of their clear minds

[@PeepingUkulele]

🧡

[@thelixir715]

woo bmore!

[@cynthiaflores5897]

Here from thrasher. Great song to skate to

[@Rabbit1Lee]

No deep review or analysis. I fucking LOVE this song & video to bits. Thats all.

[@stoneyzachary]

I've returned from the weird side of youtube to listen to some great music.

[@IndygoEEI]

@TrickShoTkiD7 And is is it making you feel ill?

[@canseidesersarah]

JH is never far from mind

[@jamesjaymieperez]

...cool nice

[@swharth]

Certain elements of this song remind me of Breather by Chapterhouse.

[@2.zef.758]

Cool.

[@Rabbit1Lee]

Love the smile at 0:46 ; )

[@jasontheworldisyours]

If your friends don't know who Lower Dens are recommend this song @ColoredSpaces

[@ramenfam2108]

Franklin Bluth Heard you got kids all over town.

[@KamadakeX]

Janna breaks gender barriers on so many levels. It's amazing.

[@spectrumdub]

how? because she looks like a hipster and probably visits tumblr?

[@alejandroavant301]

omg! i swear i thought she was man jajajajaja

[@KamadakeX]

shamaatae I get that you are just trying to be irreverent, but I guess I'll explain the obvious. She breaks gender barriers because she is androgynous in more ways than one. Her face, the way she chooses to dress, her voice and vocal style. At first impression, most are not able to pin her down, which is apparent in the comment section. I know her gender was ambiguous to me, which I think is pretty neat. At least those are my thoughts. If your experience was to immediately go to "hipster tumbler chick", then that's on you.

[@80sNMusic]

Dean D congrats

[@mr.thundersucklefuzzcanyon3386]

Dean D ? Are you implying it's better to be gender ambiguous than the other way around? Would she be inherently less valuable if her gender was more obvious?
