RATATAT - ABRASIVE

[@MrPetya30]

so underrated.... i miss the moment when i heard this for the first time..... almost cryed.... beautiful...

[@_SoCalDude_]

Makes me sad that we're gettng close to an entire decade with no new material from Ratatat.

song makes me break into tears every time. this song was playing when I fell in love for the first time...

[@infinitejess7762]

This might be one of the most beautiful music videos of all time. Of course the song is amazing too. But the video, what a pure celebration of human joy, talent, endeavor, life, energy. It fills me with gratitude. Thank you, Ratatat. The first band I ever saw live and many times since. My favorite of all time. Can’t wait for the next album, please never stop producing as a duo. God bless you guys

[@erikakuchenmeister292]

I agree completely! I've considered this song to be my personal anthem pretty much since it was released. I still feel that way, and it's inspiring even if I've been feeling down lately. I always come back to this positive place.

[@juliamichelle6212]

Love this comment 💕 so much genuine gratitude and love expressed. I wasn’t even watching the video got lost in the comments and you made me realize there’s a fabulous background video to this comments section

[@brandonpiatt5625]

I’ve been listening for about 17 years ok... Edit: the irony in this is that it’s actually not very far off anymore.. started listening in 2006 with classics when I was 15. Good god I’m old.

[@vaughnsigal4560]

I got to see ratatat live in mid 2016, pretty well when all these class tracks were new ones. Holy shit they were good times

[@ImNotFine44]

@@juliamichelle6212 yeah. Instrumental can be really nice. I do think vocals are instrument too but sometimes they just overtake the song. Then again, sometimes really good lyric writing can really enhance a song.

its crazy how much emotions i can feel listening to them , without any vocals at all. freaking love RATATAT :p

[@valtterijuvonen7089]

To me, Ratatat creates amazingly elaborate tunes without vocals which are hugely profound in their emotional side. I've found myself feeling touched and energetic at the same time again and again while listening to them. Abrasive makes me to think of my friends at school who I adore so much and the sad truth that we won't see each other so often anymore when our school ends this spring.

Ratatat finally came out with their beautiful piece that we've all been waiting impatiently for. Thank you for listening to our pleads. I love this. On repeat for days. Instantly puts me in a good mood. And if you don't like it, good luck. They won't have another album out for years. Because greatness can't be dished out in a matter of months.

The more I listen to this song, the more I think this is my personal favorite off of the album. It's got those sweet riffs you got from Sunblocks, where it hits all emotional-like. But it's all upbeat and happy. Not to mention, it's something excellent to dance to!

[@HumbleMentorGaming]

It's a typical Ratatat song. However, it's so energic, full of force, stamina. And at the same time, it's beautiful. Beautifully composed, each music phase is perfectly introduced. With quality speakers and a great sound system, it's a bliss. Thanks Ratatat.

[@saucybuttertoast]

Amazing song & video. Feels like nostalgia

[@HolbrookStark]

The one theme all the imagery in this video has in common: every piece of it represents the complex intricacy of coordination enabled to energy-expending life forms by the laws of nature. Dancers, Olympian gymnasts, body language, the simple design of fireworks, a stunt driver jumping a car, the sprint of a big cat, the spontaneous flight of a flock of birds... guitarists. Highly refined coordination.

[@ians3801]

really did not want this video to end... such simple yet astonishing illustrations showing life as we know it. also had fun by muting the music for the video and adding other songs with similar tempos instead of the original song. Could be similar to the "Dark Side of the Oz" phenomenon but if you dub "Where's Your Head At" by Basement Jaxx it seemed to work really well. (Also, I'm aware those two songs are NOT that similar of a tempo, but it still kind of worked for this song. Make sure you get them both playing from 0:00 onwards at the same time.)
