TV On The Radio - Careful You (Lyric Video)

[@Timewaits4no1]

This song is just incredible. There is something so hauntingly beautiful about it. A love note, and a warning all at once. Deep lyrics with music that feels somehow vintage, timeless, and new all at the same time. Then there's that infectious groove that you just can't get out of your head. Songs like this are why I love music so much

[@patriciaoconnor958]

Same

[@kato76109]

Indie music. Found it in 2001 and never looked back. Bands like TVOTR and others have holistically changed the way I listen to music

[@BrandilynBeard]

Have you ever heard bloc party? Similar to TVOTR ​@kato76109

[@angie-we7rj]

I feel so bad when all the people around me don't realize what good music (like this) is and don't find the time to appreciate it

[@alterego4143]

Sad but true :(

[@jimmydahat1]

Ah get over yourself. Peoples personal taste in music is their "good" music. You're not better than them because you like TV On The Radio.

[@angie-we7rj]

jimmydahat1 okay

[@jochoa72jv]

Angie Quint free beats. i felt the same way showing someone a classic song but they can't see it.

[@jimmythekiller8148]

jimmydahat1 dont believe it. Im mean sure opinions are opinions, but lets fucking face it, a lot of people, their opinion is just straight wrong. If they hype justin beiber or some shit and youre rocking out to tv on the radio, then hate to say it, but you are better than them. I know that sounds whatever but its the fucking truth and we ALL know it.

[@maxstimulus268]

This is one of the best songs in the last 25 years!

[@4t949]

Agreed

[@dougdonelson9471]

Last 40 yrs!

[@myezecky7422]

I have a crystal clear memory of backing my car out of the driveway one rainy morning when I first heard this. I knew it was a big deal.

[@davidadams2395]

I cannot stop listening to this and Happy Idiot. The entirety of Seeds is fantastic.

[@deromil4298]

same bro!

[@yeahwhatever1184]

Just ended an almost 6 year relationship the other night. Not sure how to feel about it, but this song explains it well.

[@diego.medeiros]

I ended an 8 year relationship almost 3 years ago and this song still makes sense. Very sad

[@amang1001]

How are u doing now?

[@KeepCalmNRockOn]

11 years... yeah. This song, man.

[@a9arvids]

Nail on the head. We're starting to end a 10yr marriage. The words are so sad, honest and true

[@the2ndcoming135]

🕺🏽

[@adreamingwolf]

This sounds like the end of a relationship. Constant back and forth should you stay or should you leave and you want to leave but you can't because it's so hard and you ache for the sweet old days and good times but it's so hard to make up your mind. The timing is never right to try to make it work and there is just too much in the way to make it work again. The secret of a kiss to melt away all the pain of past mistakes but only temporarily. That's why it's so hard to leave for good.

[@zinxderobo]

It could also be the ground work for a new relationship.

[@danimontana100]

Thank you TV on the radio. You see, i am so hhopelessly stuck in 80's and You are the first ever who made me feel like somewhere in the universe they still make new music in the 80's!

[@christiansilva6984]

You should check out Kavinsky or Powerglove if you are into heavy synths that throwback to the 1980's. There is also this handy sub-reddit devoted to that style of music. Here is a link. www.reddit.com/r/futuresynth/

[@danimontana100]

Thanks for the info mate!

[@GirlSproket]

Ahhhh, so I'm not the only one? :)

[@danimontana100]

Hi GirlSproket, i am going to pick you up today in my 1985 Corvette ( convertible ), we both are going to listen to cassettes on our Sony Walkman all the way to California and be friends. Just kidding mate :) I am glad we share same feelings, because my wife doesn't see any connection to 80's music!

[@johnkilo3]

Check out the KZbin channel "newretrowave"

[@DeathOrGlory83]

Thumbs up if the lyrics perfectly describe a relationship you are in or have been in.

[@fga9025]

Celery Man made me cry on how spot on it was

[@The_Mimewar]

Just one. I guess I’m lucky I knew that feeling at least once.

[@amang1001]

Funny enough i was thinking of my ex listening to this...

[@yeahwhatever1184]

Me. Just ended an almost 6 year relationship two nights ago..

[@photondance]

@@yeahwhatever1184 You still think about her/him/them. Don’t you?

[@k2o99x]

This song is incredible on so many levels. It is a great example of perfection. The nuances, the story between the lines, the ethereal & haunting melody. This song is under appreciated because it is SO clever & most people are not tuned in enough to catch "it" So, why try to explain something so special to people who like what everyone else likes? Play it again & sing every word! Peace

[@paulmartin5921]

Duality

[@pilotmemes]

I'm so grateful to have stood beside these amazing artists in a hot cramped church basement.

[@TheKillmypet]

Careful you. :)

[@davidblanton5407]

My favorite tv on the radio song

[@tspot816]

Still a great song 6 years later!

[@FunForAllification]

TVOTR fans who don't like this song need to settle-in. Listen to the deep grind, the pulse...there's a groove in the hips that's unmistakable TVOTR. Paired with an exceptional subwoofer, this song will send you soaring. Cheers!

[@lizzynestel9670]

"you've done a number on my heart, and things will never be the same."

[@PacoTube926]

God, I love these guys. Never fail to disappoint and their lyrics are always so clever, poetic and always bring a smile to my face.

[@AllOfYourBase0791]

I feel like i'm wearing a warm, cozy blanket of synth-pop, reliving the late 80's and early 90's. TVOTR is a great revival with new interpretations, paying homage to Depeche Mode and Curve.

[@masterhuhwhat]

+D Rittenhouse yes sir

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

I was thinking this too.

[@juliantowers894]

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard... No shit. And I thought Happy Idiot was kinda just alright. This is pure beauty, and I'm trying very hard not to cry. Not that original allright but all the elements are synthesized so perfectly that to complain would be absurd!

[@kingfishblues59]

Check out the song Seeds, last one on the album.

[@k2o99x]

@@lednails yeah that ending is ... eh... really BAD. Wonder who's bright idea was to give one of the best songs ever the big ending of a turd? Smiles.

[@boomchicaboomboom]

I love the mellowness and deepness of this song

[@andrehebert4115]

This song is a magical trip through space

[@daisylefleur]

I GOT THEM CHILLS IN MY BODY AGAIN, THANK YOU TV EN LA RADIO! OUI JE'TAIME!

[@DreamItCraftIt]

Now this is a proper ballad..

[@dissonancecognitive1]

TVOR have always been a band centered around melody (with some great experimentation thrown in)...and I must say that the melody on this track is just infectious! love it!. Can't wait to see them in Toronto in November!

[@Dean444ful]

Yes, exactly!

[@jordanmayer5932]

Likewise got tickets to the exact same event, at the pheonix, its gonna be a good show.

[@taylorneff7892]

If this doesn't make your soul groove, then you probably work for the IRS.

[@Oogoof]

Tv on the radio, no words can describe how much I love you. 2 months ago my father died. Out of the 14 years in my life, we spent 10 of them listening to you. Thank you.

[@M3iscool]

This song makes me think about the situation of two people not really sure what kind of relationship they want to have. They're pretty close as friends, could be closer if it became romantic, but they're afraid of what will happen so they just awkwardly stay distanced from each other.

[@Gigiaaron56]

Cool take

[@sandygrungerson1177]

+Viking War Pickle life is awkwardness

[@erikwitt3662]

spot on

[@KurtisHallmansodafan]

+Mark Mullins we need less awkward movements and more awkward distance then

[@sandygrungerson1177]

ThisGuyAndThatGuy SWEG It's not exactly uncommon...

[@valvara123]

I am a new fan and this is my favorite song at the moment! A lot of fans seem to be dissapointed with their new work... all I have to say to that is WOW... then I can't wait to hear their older music if it is superior to this because this is on POINT. I love the themes of uncertainty and hope (at least that is what I gather). Also, the end (around 4:27)- I love the sounds!!! They make me feel so nostalgic. I just cannot explain! I love this song!!!

[@franklinknights51]

Older stuff is a lot more dense and profound. This album as a whole is pretty weak and superficial lyrically, although the production value is PHENOMENAL.

[@carywhitt]

franklinknights51 completely disagree.

[@chubzoid]

Their whole discography is really solid. I don't know the new album, except for the two tracks I've heard on youtube. I really like this song! If you like it, you'll like their other stuff too. Check it ouuuut.

[@tybearxxxvii]

Vivian123, folks that are disappointed with their new work forgot that they lost a member to cancer, and it takes time to sort of ...gel with a new member, like, the chili peppers working out the kinks with their newest guitarist, that's not to say this album isn't good, it is.. just a bit short, in my opinion. I believe that six of the twelve tracks are nice, and 50/50 aint bad. I still believe "Dear Science" (2008) was their best complete album.

[@franklinknights51]

I would think that losing a member to cancer would lead to more emotional and profound lyrics...but maybe I'm wrong. I don't think "gelling" as a band has anything to do with how lyrics are written as much as it does with performance. And the sound/performance is still top notch, so I don't think it's much of a factor at all.

[@erickovach3062]

Missed hearing this song from them until today. Played it 5 times in a row because of how mesmerizing this is. Wonderful song from a magical group.

[@phuturephunk]

It really is that type of song.

[@googooziris]

I love this song so much! For me, it reflects a couple at an impasse in their relationship. They love each orher but dont know if love is enough to stay together... I also love to watch the dance scene between Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov in the 1985 movie White Nights! Yes, im a total nerd but this song and that dance scene go together like magic!!!

[@mrsvm6221]

Watch the video Count on Me by Superheart. You’ll love it.

[@davidhertz7583]

This masterpieace is stellar.

[@cynide03]

My favorite song right now. Period.

[@darthvegan]

This song gives me a Depeche Mode "Ultra" feeling. Love it!

[@alocarioca]

Masterpiece of a song..., I traveled back in to when this all happened to me, but then at the end of the song, I snapped out of it and thanked God for it to have ended. I’m in a much better place today.

[@quinntheskimo2]

I love how a band tries to evolve their sound and everyone just complains that it doesnt sound as good as their old stuff. I'm digging this and Happy Idiot so far. Anxious to hear the album as a whole

[@_Arkane]

Same here. It doesn't have to be all the same. If they want to try new things yet maintain that TVotR feel then I'm with it. This album is really good, but if people don't like it that's fine, but don't say they sold out or are trying to be too mainstream because that's a lie. Also who cares if they change it up to bring in more people. Their older albums still stands strong and you should want more people to hear this band. I know I do.

[@jordanmayer5932]

I actually quite enjoy the synth-indie rock sound their pursuing; it reminds me very much of mgmt or gorillaz. I was a HUGE fan of their old stuff for the soulish R&B style roots, but i'm quite pleased with their individuality, and this is coming from a metalhead. Cant wait to see them Nov 12th in Toronto.

[@Cthulhu013]

I do as well. 5 years ago, I would be reluctant to say it, as there were mostly only bands and artists out there that relied entirely on "bubblegum beats" But now we have rock artists, evolving their sound to suit a more modern style, while still sticking to the roots. Some notable examples, at least of what I listen to are Yeah Yeah Yeahs(Itz Blitz and Mosquito), Arctic Monkeys (AM), Arcade Fire (The Suburbs and Reflektor), and even Noel Gallagher is giving it a go with his High Flying Birds especially his recent single from the new album Chasing Yesterday, 'In The Heat Of The Moment'. And now TVOTR seems to be trying it, although I think they went with a more subtle approach at it with Nine Types Of Light, as if to test the waters on a few songs.

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

David W Phoenix's Bankrupt is another good example.

[@jordanmayer5932]

I gotta agree with all you guys! I think that the sound is yes, a different style integrated, but it still conveys their soul-esque vie. also gorillaz and mgmt. are great examples of guys who keep their own sound while using electronic instruments.

[@jordanmayer5932]

Sorry meant to say vibe, not vie lol

[@jordanmayer5932]

also I just saw them perform a great 2 hour set in Toronto last night, it was fantastic.

[@drillano4845]

This song still slaps

[@MikeFlamingo]

Gosh I like these singles a lot. Uber hyped for Seeds and the people whining about this not being Wolf Like Me can piss off. Everything this group has done has been nothing short of fantastic.

[@richardcomer6725]

Such a great and meaningful song and video. TVOTR, please please please start playing and touring again!!!

[@Naglareph]

And the beginning in French :D This is awsome ! :D When you'll be in France, i'll definitly come and see you in concert.

[@chels6804]

Just found this while searching for Indie bands on Spotify, but I'm pretty sure I've found something much better. I can't stop listening to this song! It makes my soul dance and sends shivers up my spine. Oh and it's the perfect song to listen to with headphones. LISTEN TO THIS IN A QUIET ROOM WITH HEADPHONES ITS AMAZING!

[@fionnualawoods33]

Beatle_Lock I was a similar case 😂 This has to be there best one ☝️

[@suzieramirez2175]

Certain songs I find listening to alone can be better because they touch you in a way most other people wouldn't understand.. sort of like how in a room full of people you'd still feel alone but a song like this would make all the rest disappear

[@jb5508]

Thank you for validating how I've felt before

[@nealbrown5129]

Ugh. I can't believe how much I love this. LOVE.

[@fabianmontoya1780]

Exquisite melody, I can not stop listening to it

[@FallenSummer84]

My late mother's name is Melody. No wonder I'm drawn. Haha

[@dez7852]

This explains exactly how I feel about my past relationship... from 6yrs ago. So much love, and it went by so fast. I love you, still. Hopefully we meet again.

[@michaeldavidson7916]

This song is so powerful. Gives me the chills everytime. Going through a breakup right now and this speaks to my feelings so much.

[@thekeywitness]

I've been listening to this on repeat for three days - thanks, TVOTR, for another brilliant recording. BTW, those synths remind me of Bowie's cover of the Walker Bros' "Nite Flights". Completely awesome.

[@joanab8367]

cant stop listening to this song! its so addictive. the same happened with happy idiot

[@carywhitt]

sounds like a super furry animals tune

[@cynide03]

I caught the Bowie vibe too! Makes sense... they did a great cover of "Heroes".

[@xXtheStrayXx]

I love TV On The Radio, always come back to listen and watch their songs and music vids when I'm feeling down, A lot of the songs remind me of Depeche Mode, really enjoy the lyrics and beats.

[@malibu64]

Oui je t'aime Oui je t'aime From the cradle to the grave You've done a number on my heart and things will never be the same.

[@airborneace]

I was in the lounge of a hotel, alone, in downtown Chicago a week before Christmas when this song came over the radio. It spoke to my broken heart and I've never forgotten that feeling of hearing it for the first time. She was supposed to be there with me enjoying the holidays in the big city. I went on the trip by myself despite her backing out and telling me she couldn't do this anymore. This song played in my head over and over the next few days as I wandered the city reflecting on our relationship over the last few months. I'll never be able to hear it and not think of her or that Christmas in the Windy City. How I wished we could back it up and turn it around, but sometimes life happens in ways you don't want.

[@rowerss]

wow, this is soooo goood... been listening to this one for 2h nonstop, the groove, the french, the beat. amazing :D

[@samig7313]

[@MrFeyerwire]

I love this track, this is definitely the future sound of R&B

[@jonohighfield4618]

The future sound of R&B? That is the most retarded comment I've ever read. No R&B artist wants to make this type of music. I'd also go as far as saying 90% of them don't have the talent to make this kind of music.

[@caseyrigdon4665]

Jono Highfield No R&B artist wants to make this type of music? Yet it exists. Do you even know what R&B is?

[@awescott3645]

+alliant keep on fightin the good fight. It gets better, promise. Not going to get too personal, it's a youtube comment, but just wanted you to know the pain stops eventually. As long as you're here listen to "Sooner than Now" by Sin Cos Tan.

[@turtles6610]

It'll take like 2-3 years. My best advice is to start actively talking to other women. And continue improving yourself. Having been in a similar situation, you'll come out stronger and weirdly it'll help you in future relationships believe it or not cause there is some bullshit you put up with that you will no longer allow.

Just ending a marriage with a narcissist that had me fooled for so long. I made nothing but excuses for her when my friends, family, and ever mental health professionals told me it was all bad. Somehow I always was able to think around all the red flags... Its good to be free but I still have some feelings there? Bizzare. I always had to watch what I said or how I reacted, had to be careful. I cried the first time I heard this song I fully believe it opened up that part of me that knew I was wasting my time with a toxic woman...
