Sylvan Esso - Play It Right (Official Music Video)

[@real_psychosis]

“We are like the people we came from” is so simple but so very deep.

[@wowsuchname1939]

That whole verse is just so pretty and emotional, it’s one of my favourite moments of this beautiful song. “And we will move Just like we're in a movie We will speak So warm and smoothly We are like the people we came from Oh we are, dancing and advancing to the light” I’ve always taken it as the passage of life, we move in a structure even through the chaos of life, we form relationships, ultimately we are following the same trajectory as those we came from as we dance towards our end.

[@MarktheAhole]

Man I love the way she dances.

[@UnknownUser-cm6kx]

I love the way your mom dances. ;)

[@tonykari5124]

Everything looks cooler in slow mow and in cool lighting. But SHES HOT AF for sure

[@bavery6957]

The redhead too. I think she's a professional dancer though

[@indiamoore8988]

So do i

[@Mr.Feckless]

@@bavery6957 They're both reds aren't they?

[@SuperiorRobyn]

I haven’t listened to this song and oh my god it’s got me crying. There’s a magic encapsulated in this song.

[@queniffr278]

They are serious. I once played it left and I'm still recovering.

[@aquatic_sunbeams]

HA

[@my_nam3s_blurryface]

+Queniff R ... you too?? good I thought i was the only one...

[@garrettwootton9145]

I very much enjoyed this comment. Thank you

[@youMOVE4myMOVE]

I died

[@andrewcarter1361]

Hahahaha, well played.

[@1950sGirls]

That sssSSSSNAP at 1:56 EPIC

[@theladyamalthea16]

I saw them live at ACL and let me tell you, they have so much energy when they perform. THEY HAVE GREAT STAGE PERFORMANCE. you can really see the passion in their movements, this song killed it, so good.

[@bigballzs]

+Audrey Talbot absolutely. they are a must see

[@SwiftRelish]

+Audrey Talbot I saw them at ACL too! Did you like their ocean themed jokes?

[@bhavikpatel576]

Thats the first time I heard them! Love these guys.

[@indiehippie]

I agree! I saw them live for the first time with foster the people. Best opening act ive ever seen.

[@danejensen6894]

Just saw them last weekend in Long Beach CA. They gave me goosebumps. Sooo good.

[@SummerAlleriaWindrunner]

When the sounds come together so close to my face It's no wonder we wonder What's taking place Oh I feel like an animal in the night Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right If my ears Were as big as the ocean I could hear all of your devotion I would be more than a small human with her head Pressed against your mouth and motion Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right And we will move just like we're in a movie We will speak so warm and smoothly We are like the people we came from We are dancing and advancing to the light Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right Play it right

[@raquelvega3965]

The voice, the dance moves, the beat, the lights, you guys... ugh, amazing.

[@SaidAlSeveres]

Those dance moves.... I get hypnotized! You are playing it right. For sure.

[@SnazzySquidStudios]

Why is this not more famous?!?

[@DurnVern]

youre catching it on the way there

[@devonjordan1517]

DurnVern I hope you are correct, these guys deserve it

[@ToolishBox]

who needs fame

[@devonjordan1517]

I agree however I think it would be cool if that were switched around again. It wasn't that long ago that popular music actually reflected the top artists of the time. That way more people hear about them and recognize their talent.

[@prcowboy3486]

You know it's crazy, this type of music brings together a great crowd! I've listened to a lot of chillout/chillstep channels and see bickering like I was a teenie listening on a dubstep channel. However it's not the case here, because I see more of "You're right." "You're, absolutely right." "I hear ya." etc. It's more of a good, vibed, collaboration of thoughts! I love it!

[@jbaker7323]

OMG that hair snap thing @2:00 does something to me.

[@reidfincher3584]

+Jamie Baker I feel you

[@eddieramos9811]

+Jamie Baker IT DID IT TO ME TOO AHHHGHG

[@BrokenLifestyleFilms]

Showed my gf that a few months ago after she saw me swooning. And all she said was "She's not even that hood looking." #instajealous

[@TheWarmestFuzzy]

She's not wrong. She's one of the least hood-looking women I've ever seen.

[@ShinoSeven]

I was watching the video and thinking the exact same thing!

[@terry10tnj]

Going back to these songs for the first time In ten years. At that time I was just out of high school and starting my first job at chipotle. The song “coffee” happened to be in heavy rotation on the chipotle house radio station which is how I first heard her music. My personal favorite is the version of “hey mami” acoustic on the rooftop.

[@kellikinney90]

I also heard Sylvan Esso for first time in the soundtrack for into the forest. love love love this music!

[@TheAGODAMI]

😯 💯 *SaMe heRe...InTo ThE FoReST (2018) bRoughT me heRe I'm waTChinG iT righT now wiTh my wiFe I'm so thanKFuL.!!* ❤ 🎥 🎶

[@mikehill9385]

Aug 31, 2017 - First listen. I'm 30 years old and today was the most important new music day I've had since high school. Profound! During Chance the Rapper's Tiny Desk performance he gave a shout out to Tank and the Bangas Tiny Desk performance, then autoplay to Anderson.Paak and the Free Nationals, auto play to Lianne LaHavas, auto play to Sylvan Esson... All heard for the first time today. This changes everything.

[@TheAGODAMI]

😯 👏 *ThaT sounds so aWeSoMe.!!* 🎶 🔥

[@MrAAAmanbeef]

This album is fantastic. After seeing their videos as well, these guys truly display the most natural kind of confidence and their style feels mature but also spontaneous and fun. What I'm trying to say is that guys seem very real and display a grounded, down to earth perspective in their artistic efforts.

[@twistedthorns2181]

+MrAAAmanbeef couldn't have said it better

[@arteducation101]

She always looks like she's having so much fun. I love that.

[@swifplaya]

The movie " Into The Forest" brought me here. Dope

[@gregreed7808]

Me too.

[@rajkiranboggala]

Kevin Mays same with me

[@andrewwalsh7452]

I knew I heard this song before!

[@jeffreycepeda9768]

Me too.

[@dword1399]

Yeees

[@glenstevens8174]

I saw them in Minneapolis last weekend... so incredible. awesome sound production. My wife and I as well as two friends loved the show. THANK YOU!

[@douglasholt3432]

Sylvan Esso rocked the sold out show at the Mill & Mine in Knoxville last night. Fantastic Performance!

[@pittsburghhouseofthedead2436]

they played pittsburgh last night and just made all of us fall in love with them. soooooo beautiful!

[@codywuethrich777]

Timing and charisma is second to none!

[@Specificpickle]

This song live is an out of body experience.

[@justanornalintrovert514]

We still vibing to this in 2020. Well at least I know I am.

[@MrWrath]

Who else listened to this more than once? #love

[@janeadelaidelennox7193]

[@ros-t]

Absolutely immense track !

[@chrisholden615]

[@jriz7086]

Art is so beautiful.

[@ShameseLatee]

super dope melody and voice. i wouldn't know how to dance to this but the way the artists move in the video is also exactly how it sounds. love this

[@Ron-uj5vs]

I think this is the girl of my dreams.

[@snehalsharma8678]

Yup, I know exactly what you mean

[@ssvirals1360]

[@TheDesipride1991]

She was amazing at Free Press Houston, great performance artist and the perfect amount of quirky

[@TheRabidGlow]

I will be checking them out @ The Pasadena Make Music Fest.

[@mikepassaportis356]

Dancing and advancing to the light!

[@Shadowboxn]

I never heard this song or heard of this group until 4 years ago. This song came on the week I was mourning the death of my dog of 15 years. I image my dog roaming fields in the after life looking for me. 4 years later, I hum this song to my 5 month old daughter.

[@raulgalets]

The Cut on Tuesdays. Best Podcast. Best Theme Song

[@damiajayi4670]

THIS SONG DESERVES SO MUCH RECOGNITION OMGGGG

[@hunterfree1087]

I saw them live at Chipotle's cultivate festival in Irving, TX. They were great!

[@usedfuzzbox]

I really love her vocals....

[@brandonsmith2299]

I love this song and the acopella or how ever it’s said they kill it

[@dustyhill5241]

Goin places

[@ellingtonl277]

This is genuinely the best possible music video for this song: euphoric and elegant.

[@matthewyates1379]

dancing and advancing to the light!

[@benbaby100]

Why does this only have 2.5 million views? That's crazy. It's been in movies, actually in the script as a sing-along

[@sistersniffle]

i can't stop listening to this song

[@reginadaniels96]

R.I.P KEVIN miss you so much this will forever be my song cuz of you. Love Denzell

[@Madeeeesun]

I really want these guys to put out a full album or do because I feel like it'd be really good.

[@AnilPatel-pe1td]

I know right three songs are not enough i am addicted. I made Play it Right my Ring tone, Because i love it so much.

[@againstgiants]

***** Madeeeesun Anil Patel you can actually stream it free on NPR music right now

[@bobbygoodell1012]

Just downloaded it. Very good stuff. Can't wait to see how they turn out

[@BeckBeckGo]

I get up at 4 am to hit the gym and run until the day looks normal. And this is first on the playlist. God what a strange world we live in.

[@melissadenby2357]

Everything else aside, I love her hair in this!!!

[@pinkartist1210]

The new passion... who can't help but love it.

[@austynjohnson5198]

Her flow is great

[@TheTraciesaldivar]

The guy dancing sells the merch at their shows. He is in a band too Loamlands, I believe they are called.

[@Chierushi]

Such Phantogram. Wow.

[@roncv26]

L Asonibe Imagine a collaboration. That would be sick!

[@triskut]

Different from Phantogram, but good.

[@sirha]

Love this song, she played this with Mountain Man. Great vocals!

[@nwstrailblazer]

1:58 to 2:01 is my oxygen 😂😭

[@FernandoGomezspartan]

Discovered you guys through NPR Hawaii on the drive home, immediately tried to spell out "Silvan S O" on google to find some more of your music and went crazy til I finally found it. Great music =)

[@bananafish22]

This makes me feel so good.

[@mlp573]

i love this song still dope i been listening for a year now

[@patrickross3720]

drove out west 26 hours straight listening to this one album mostly

[@trauntualafigghtetr6209]

I could probably die to this song.

[@trauntualafigghtetr6209]

+Totodile Treecko wait nvm

[@cason9639]

You guys are my favorite, I love this so much.

[@jamesdipadua8878]

more people need to listen to this song (and the album)! y'all are sick. caught the show at the fillmore last week and CANNOT WAIT for to come back to SF in august. :D

[@abigailbakupchannel]

if i had cancer. this would cure it i swear to god this music makes me feel so calmmm

[@BrianSchoedel]

Big improvement on this video compared to the coffee video. Love all their music.

[@snehalsharma8678]

God damn, I'm in love with this song. If I'm not mistaken, there is an interview with Nick Sanborn where he says that bell sound is actually him tapping on one of those old fisher price xylophones. Oozing of coolness

[@MayankDhuria]

"Into The Forest" brought me here. Great song.

[@brothrmothrmon1980]

I love the energy and expression she brings to this vid

[@antrimross9008]

Still one of the best music videos I've ever seen.

[@LucyLanglas]

god, i love this

[@mackmorton13]

you are sooooooo beautiful! the way you dance is so empowering i cant stop watching your body movements YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL thank you sooo much

[@angelagordon57]

Into the forest perfect combination ♥️💖

[@mirables]

The only thing missing from this video is a band of fireys, from the Labyrinth movie, dancing and tossing their heads around to each other. I'm not sure why or how, but in my mind it fits. I'm in love.

[@KarenFoote]

At 1:56 - perfect dance move

[@enemy.]

Very good call. Well done!

[@meep3445]

😍😍 I love both versions of this, MM as is and transformed for sylvan esso

[@joshbrekke6374]

She’s so beautiful in this one! Both gals are

[@80siix]

love this song, brings me back in time

[@genova3722]

even more Love

[@knighthaunter]

....i forgot how much awesome there was in this song/video.

[@vonveet1548]

there amazing! favorite band for sure.. cant wait to see them in oakland!

[@t4exanadu]

I love this song... the entire album is great!

[@camiimcgee465]

This made me cry xxx

[@lightenupmaui8438]

My new fav group!!

[@stefanoromanelli]

oh, how much I crushed into you guys.

[@abigailbakupchannel]

SHES SOO GOODD

[@NayeliGarciCrespo]

The move at minute 2!

[@charliehart7271]

I know this might be a downer but I played this song on my way to the animal hospital right before my dog was put down. Even though it’s sad, every time I play this song I relive that day and a little bit of my old dog still lives on in this song. :,)

[@janitahaan]

Wonderful

[@970BBaker]

Huh. If there were more songs like this, I just might decide it was okay to listen to music again.

[@irislewis2390]

I'm watching "Into The Forest" right now..that's how I got here!! Great song!!😍

[@IAintOverYet]

Oh stop already with the comparisons to the same song done with Mountain Man. Both are equally great in their own right. I followed both Mountain Man and now Sylvan Esso because I recognized the talent of Amelia from the start. Her collaboration with Nick Sanborn here is perfect.

[@kelvinlamontk6075]

Just so dope!! Too cool!

[@rageking3810]

This music could fall into the psychedelia genre.. love it

[@leotibennett6837]

Great video! Love the song and the dance. Great editing, too.

[@LewTaylor00]

When I first listened to Sylvan Esso music I thought the lead singer was British, I did not no she was American, she is so good

[@kyliodatter]

I love seeing their alter egos contrast their dance moves.

[@alisbloomingdream]

This is so sick!

[@kendraonorato3624]

Still listening 2020

[@Mitch5505]

Saw them live last night and they killed it so hard!!

[@DAVIDLOVESMILEYCYRUS]

Wow great song i love it

[@fuzzbrain913]

this is a damn good video for a damn good song they were outstanding live too, saw them at union transfer in philly

[@SaidAlSeveres]

I love you esse!

[@emkay7486]

Love this song❤
