TV On The Radio - Blind

Live At La Route Du Rock, 2004
Lyrics:
I seen a girl
With a guy
With hair like yours
From what I remember
He took her hand
And smiled her name
Her face like yours
She smiled the same
From what I remember
Been so long since last December
She walked your walk
She talked like you
She shimmered strong
She shined right through
From what I remember
I said I seen a girl
With a guy
So who I'd seen
So who am I
Now I can't remember
Been so long since last December
So I'm sending
Up the ladder
To the perfect doorfront
I'm still mighty tiny
Hoping that you'd be my little godsend
Because right now I'll take any and blindly
Before I find another noose to fit us
Before we choose another hand to hit us
Let us ask each other
What's the difference
Because if you save yourself
I'll save you all the time
Open letter to the ligeance leering
Ah, we entertained you
Why don't you cast your gaze into the moonlight clearly
Cause my love, my love is a suckerbat
Before I find another noose to fit us
Before we choose another hand to hit us
Let us ask each other
What's the problem
Why don't you save yourself
I'll save you all the time
Because if you save yourself
I'll save you all the time
Now what's to blame
Save yourself, I'll save you all the time
Now what's to blame
Save yourself, I'll save you all the time (x2)

My god I love these guys so much it hurts.

This truly highlights TV on the Radio's wide range, and how they are able to excel in all sorts of music types, here they show a mix of their alternating timbre of sound, as this is originally a slow moving song that is full of almost bottlenecked energy, and this is the antithesis of the original recording. pure master piece, just a snipped of how truly talented this band is.

Очень классные ребята✌🏻

[@dxdd34]

wow TV On The Radio is the coolest band ever

[@lyndonrules]

This version is fucking amazing. Head banging all the way through .

[@gknight2888]

TVOTR does what TVOTR wants....and we...LOVE IT!!!

[@leethomas1400]

This is so amazing watching his emotions pour out and overtake him. Excellent rendition.

[@SinShyft]

This is on the Young Liars EP. The studio version is MUCH different. Very good, but for different reasons. I love Tunde's vocals on this. I think it captures the tone of the song in a very interesting and cool way.

[@CassiRaye]

wow this version is rocked out. I love both of them.

[@arielatomguy]

incredible performers, they take the songs to a whole new level. as if Blind has two seperate versions and not just live/studio. Of all the great artists and bands out there - there is no-one i wish to see live more than TVOTR.

[@se6a5t1an]

love this version

[@SorrowToSerenity]

Definitely wasn't expecting that. They rocked the hell out of a slow and dingy song (which is also awesome).

[@eabsurfs808]

That solid wall of sound...Amazing

[@IndigoEye75]

wow! simply amazing!

[@chromakid]

Love me forevah behbeh you Neavah!

[@IndigoEye75]

Thanks for uploading!!!

[@iladelph420]

Bonnaroo 2009!!! Can't wait.

[@danikholmezzky2308]

Twelve fucking years! Guys you are the best!

[@Mesmerized]

The lyrics posted for this song wrong.. you can obviously tell in this live version and others that he doesn't say the silly lyric "so I'm sending up the ladder to the perfect door front" but "so I'm sending an open letter to the perfect girlfriend" the person who transcribed the lyrics originally got their wrong version spread all over the internet. It's so annoying to see that beautiful lyric mangled

[@beksinski]

a live album/dvd is over due.

[@Mesmerized]

@Mesmerized *The lyrics posted for this song ARE wrong

[@MWExpeditions]

I bet they got started making fun of music that sounds like this. Then....they couldn't stop

[@Mesmerized]

aren't the lyrics "I'm sending an open letter to the perfect girlfriend"? Not something about a ladder to a doorfront. I think some of the other lyrics are also off. God, I love the live version of this song!

[@TheDeathWalrus]

@ZombieRaptor And really, when you compare the both of them, they almost seem like entirely different songs.

[@Kravis63]

See I like this version better. Much more passion and energy too it.

[@xman682]

I'm pretty sure the lyrics are "open letter to the perfect girlfriend" not "up the ladder to the perfect doorfront"...i had my suspicions on the studio version but its quite clear in this version.

[@KokoRicky]

I heard the studio version on Pandora. I'm not so sure about it live; it's very different, more upbeat. But it's not bad by any means.

[@Auntkekebaby]

Great song...like the album version better

[@drumsofthunder32]

is that jaleel bunton on drums?

[@SodyPopInSpace]

just check out his dancing around 1:20 the whole video could suck and would still be great for that one shot

[@tagomago36]

im pretty sure its in drop D and the chords are Bm, G, D and repeat. Use the low D power chord too. Thats just my guess though, sounded pretty close

[@EscapeCondition]

Not as good as the original but the guitars are great on this version.

[@Mesmerized]

The lyrics are wrong!!! How you put the lyric down "I'm sending up the ladder to the perfect doorfront" (what the hell would that mean anyways???) when it is obviously "I'm sending an open letter to the perfect girlfriend."

[@lyndonrules]

music that sounds like what?

[@kowtpr187]

@notevenyo69 it sounds like poop.....

[@jordahm]

It starts of good, but his voice sounds like shit towards the end. I love this song though.

[@Beanybag2]

God, this is so much worse than the album version.
