Tilly and the Wall - Rainbows in the Dark

[@z11111]

This entire video is a perfect time capsule of what 2006 looked like

[@wck51690]

Every year I come back to their music. Reminds me of my teenage years. Reminds me of those I lost. I love this band and would jump at tickets for another tour! Thank you for all of the music they gave us that evoked so many emotions.

[@tatiaswain]

Me too ❤

[@huffing_metal]

So cool they’re from my hometown

[@redxracing90]

Was lucky to see this wonderful band twice. I'm in my 30s now. I haven't listened to this song since my 20s. It's really taking me back haha. I still have a few of my Tilly and the Wall tees.

[@hetzbaby]

Same!!

The joy expressed by this band while they play makes me cry.

[@codymacler9200]

This was a favorite song of a friend of mine who passed recently. Man... rest easy Sunflower Boy

[@FattyMateo]

"I laid on my bed let the punk record spin, the stomping guitars were shooting out stars, it all went to my heart" ahhhhh... fucking beautiful

[@christophercampagna665]

i love this band ever since i was 14. and no im 25 lol. i would never play this in front of anyone and i still own my tilly shirt

[@EricAndre3000]

This is exactly the type of music you should play in front of your friends

[@GigaTele]

rip indie. all we have now is rap and yoga tights

[@Raeberry]

what an awesome idea to use tap shoes as the percussion! I'm a fan!

[@MsDrientje]

All these comments about how this was your youth. Dear lord, they have the feeling about them they are from the 60's whilst in reality only from 2006. That is 14 years ago. That is more mind blowing than anything else.

[@SparkleCakezz]

hi

[@MsDrientje]

@@SparkleCakezz hi. How are you today?

[@davidhrod]

I just saw them in Houston at the Engine Room and they were very infectious. I couldn't help but dance to them. Great band!!!

[@arkwill14]

I put _Tilly and the Wall_ into the list of groups that probably would have been really famous if it hadn't been for the turn of the century revolution in the music industry which essentially demonetized music for talented up-and-coming artists who didn't have a massive production machine pushing them. It's why we have all the pop-crap music of today instead of organically good music from artists like this.

[@M1A308]

2020 needs more of tis

[@lilfairycupcake]

So glad they were introduced to me. The girls sound great. Tap is sooooo cool.......

[@sonnysunny14]

wow, the vibes i feeling right now are ridiculous! great great GREAT song and band, perfect combo!

[@JohnathenParadox]

my lord, it's quite amazing how talented they all are! and they're oh so gorgeous as well. I have an autographed copy of wild like children, my teacher's daughter got me it as she's friends with them. yay tilly and the wall!!!

[@Fizzymilkshakee]

Guys this is ever so slightly tally hall related

[@popephatt]

Great song, great band, great video.

[@nazdun]

That was very refreshing. I don't normally listen to this kind of music but I really like to from time to time.

[@scummys]

this band has got to be one of my favorites of all time. amazing amazing song and wonderful video. they're like. pure happiness i can't stand it it's amazing.

[@jt1929]

I’d never heard of this band till I saw them credited in the She and Him albums. They are a very talented group!

[@uidsea]

the drummer is SOOOOO into it. They're amazing!

[@sonnysunny14]

Holy shit, the vibes im feeling from this song and video just blows my band. One of the best songs and bands ever as well as the coolest! xox

[@greatsea]

Half a decade of Tilly! I didn't discover them, they discovered me.

[@polpotsdog]

The build in this song is epic....goosebumps.every.time.

[@like_the_award]

A great song for Valentines Day!

[@AlkalineTrio15]

i luv the outfitz and shoes and everything xD plus the song!

[@dylanhoka]

oh my god this brings back so many memories..when i first discovered good music ! Tilly and the wall and slw club were my life when I was a teenager

[@greatsea]

Oh my god i love tilly and the wall! I am a 38 year old subdued non dancer but this song makes me want to get up move. Tilly and the Wall is my favorite discovery sense Elliot Smith. Melodies pour out of them so wonderfully.

[@Anthony-cc8bx]

Three babes making beautiful music

[@Jonillson]

I watched this video many times in 2009

[@douglaswalker3593]

This song gets stuck in my head all the damn time.

[@yvetteclaire]

fricken awesome. it's so wonderful and the tap dancer just adds so much awesomeness.

[@MarcosHernandezHimself]

This gotta be one of the greatest groups of the decade

[@Kento617]

This is really innovative. Tap dancing for the win!

[@PixieQuin]

i love their style and just everything about them :D

[@rebeldragon5]

I first saw this group on CBS News: Sunday Morning. They had a free download of their first album. It was cool. So glad I heard them.

[@Ilikestellar]

Tilly and The Wall....One of the best bands ever on my list!!!

[@immaru]

Just discovered these guys today. I think I'm in love.

[@AndrewDasilvaPLT]

Interviewed them for a magazine I wrote for in Charlottesville, VA. 2006? - Great times.

[@lauralaurent7]

Tilly and the Wall always holds a special place in my heart!

[@good_youtube_handle]

Ha! This is at Kilby Court here in SLC! Such a great little place. It used to be a garage years and years ago, now it's one of the best venues in the area; really small and intimate.

[@stevetimmins77]

First time I've seen this video and recognized the background immediately. I've seen so many great shows there almost want to move back just for Kilby.

[@MrRightNow469]

This song and this band transcends all musical genres. It and they are loved by everyone. As well it should be.

[@PhatsMahoney88]

There's a certain peace to be had listening to Neely and Kiana sing into my ears through headphones.

[@kolumbijcan]

i love her voice...and the song

[@piper314]

Wow! love it, I just heard them like a couple of weeks ago and I looooove them, there just so original n' different, n besides... tap dance! that was genius.!!!

[@THX1948]

They have Great voices, good looks, and a very cool sound, I like it.

[@TheMellochello]

I have a line from this song tattooed on my arm. They are timeless and this song encompasses so facets of life. I just love it.

[@cloud0593]

they are so amazing :D i lvoe the tap dancer! it is a prety great idea! :D

[@Hebblewater1]

"Tap dancer instead of a drummer" That is fucking awesome.

[@kkapilashrami]

i jus saw them yesterday....they are superb.....

[@zsoltsandor3814]

Loved it then, love it now.

[@zsoltsandor3814]

Still do.

[@TheSfaok]

Best opening song to any album pretty much ever.

[@alonnereaver3628]

i wish these guys were still around :(

[@Annie-FMBalls]

5 FUCKING YEARS AGO. HOLY SHIT.

[@acousticrocks]

i love them! and this video was shot so awesometasticly. teehee

[@ColumbusWasWrong]

I love this song (lyrics, melody, singing, instruments, tap dancing).

[@cliqueatnightvandal]

@JanetLeeuwerik They were the headlining act on the East Coast part of the tour, and they were amazing! Maybe some time soon we'll get some news but I don't know if they're be any tours within the next since Derek and Jamie's baby is a little under a year old, and Nick is touring with 2 guys from Panic at the Disco.

[@karenkiwi]

i saw them with CSS too and yep, they're pretty different from other bands and you just have to love their dancer Jamie.

[@elguerobien88]

I like the way Derek has R.i.p. Flowers Forever on his arm. Kind of weird because I saw them live in may of 2009. Derek is so amazing when it comes to all his music.

[@greatsea]

They all have such wonderful cheakbones.

[@noahmay7708]

They're a pop band. It's damn near required.

[@3rr1]

Haha. This is at Kilby Court in SLC! I have seen these guys play there. It was fun.

[@katianovakk]

They seem really free. This is the kind of music I want to dance like a hippie in a field to.

[@De4dSpace]

The Amp @ 20 sec is a Fender model from 1964, my dad has one just like it. Reverb!

[@sadgetrollge5614]

Tilly and the Wall shot a goal, and Tally Hall saved it.

I was looking for a comment like this; Was not disappointed

[@yvetteclaire]

what an adorable band, they have a tap dancer. pretty pretty pretty song. :) :) :)

Is Tilly and the Wall still together? If someone knows, please post a reply. Thanks!

[@stevend6184]

Sometimes you just can't..

[@mariannas]

I'm still here.. One, two, three, four! I was kidnapped real young by the sweet taste of love Built a fondness for things that just weren't good enough I cradled the crow, always shooed off the dove Which tagged me a naive son So the fortunate kids, yeah they left on their lights And they stuck up their noses and started some fights Their parents all cackled at dirt on my hands While my father was slaving, my mother explained it Sometimes that's just how it is So my sister went kissing a maple-skinned boy Finally held up her fists, said "I'm done being coy!" And the neighborhood boys started buzzing with joy We finally had front page news Although it was sad, I couldn't help but laugh Such ridiculous hate in the hot summer sweat I laid on my back, let the punk record spin The stomping guitar, it was shooting out stars It all went to my heart, yeah some rainbows in the dark So I called up danger, my friends and some strangers They stumbled and wavered, one called me his savior They slipped me the blood in the whole of the vial But I didn't feel them change Then I met a man with a fist for a hand Held me flat on my back, taught me how to give in Some phrases were shot, pretty roses got tossed The gift of a fat-lipped grin Now they're drilling my teeth while I'm soiling sheets With my lover, she's counting the diamonds on rings And even when truth doesn't help with the sting Out of no numbers, some harsh looking color You pull them out, feel they're changed No need for a thousand cranes So I thank the city, the lights that it's spinning The friends that I have and the shoes we're not shining The drunk horn's so violent, all spinning out sounds But the color's so vibrant , the color's so loud The newly-born crying realizing what life is In the eyes of my grandpa, the right people dying The see-saw of love, its rickety bounce The feeling of coming, the feeling of going The mother, the child, the tame and the wild The sleeping in minor, the gold leaf, the tire The crooked, the straight, all the hip and the fake Oh, I'm finally feeling the stitching of beautiful seams Sometimes you just can't hold back the river Sometimes you just can't hold back the river Sometimes you just can't hold back the river Sometimes you just can't hold back the river Hold back the river, hold back the river, hold back the river

[@lolimfranco]

yeah, I just heard it on tv and I wasn't sure if it was the same song so I came back here to check. I don't remember what advertisement it was hah but oddly enough it was a very small part of the song

This is the shit. i randomly stumbled upon this, and my mind is blown. i love this

[@velmarg]

She's the percussion. How's she gonna tap dance like that and sing at the same time? I think she'd collapse from it.

[@inasafeplace]

Great band.

[@1gnore_me.]

this music is so much better than what they're doing now..

[@Mitchincredible]

+Molten_ : At the end of the day all musicians just want to express themselves, if it's not what you want, there's millions out there that can satisfy your concepts of 'better'. But on a personal level, I agree... Their music had more depth a decade ago.

[@christophercampagna665]

+Mitch Petersen lol come on mitch . their older which means less cool. and thats the truth

[@Mitchincredible]

christopher ramos-rosales: You know, that might be their excuse someday, like they'll be all Grace Slick and be like "Music is for the youth! We quit."
