[@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

[@maxstimulus268]

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

[@4t949]

Agreed

[@dougdonelson9471]

Last 40 yrs!

[@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.

[@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.

[@dennisweaver5726]

Iam definitely a fan! Definitely one of the better things I've experienced in a while, is discovering your band. Thank you! I'm for people,. Definitely one of my favorite bands.

[@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.

[@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"

[@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!

[@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.

[@dubby6toes]

Why doesn't this song have 10 million hits by now?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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]

🕺🏽

[@jb5508]

Thank you for validating how I've felt before

[@boomchicaboomboom]

I love the mellowness and deepness of this song

[@kidaok00]

This song is where I’ve been for the last 7 months. My best friend, she was my best friend who didn’t love me enough to stay.

[@thegreyalien]

This album was so under-appreciated when it came out. Still is tbh.

[@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.

[@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

[@LetterboxTuxedo]

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!

[@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.

[@olivialucchetti3243]

3 years and this is still the coolest lyric video I've ever laid eyes on

[@richardcomer6725]

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

[@thenewlegend25]

Tv on the radio always prove the be the cure of good music.

[@davidadams2395]

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

[@deromil4298]

same bro!

[@marcelo.n]

If you've come this far looking for peaceful and relaxing sounds to soothe your body, mind and soul, you've found it. Congrats!

[@andrehebert4115]

This song is a magical trip through space

[@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.

[@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.

[@davidhertz7583]

This masterpieace is stellar.

[@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.

[@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...

[@DreamItCraftIt]

Now this is a proper ballad..

[@PanCakeKidd]

you guys are amazing. My wife and I still talk about when y'all did free press Houston in 2013 you guys were the best!!!

[@JennVix]

Here in 2020, still thinking it's a perfect track. It's just so good!

[@MidnightinSavannah]

Almost 3 years later and this song is still fresh as day one.

[@nolansyers]

Please!!! One. more. album. 🙏

[@knowinnotknowin.g3520]

I wanted to say that seeds is prob a personal fav even though all other albums are equally brilliant. Theres seems to be a personal msg within this album one I can relate too. 80's synth pop style will always bring something original and fresh. keep up the great work guys...

[@daisylefleur]

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

[@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?

[@zackkroll1]

The melody and rhythm that these guys are able to maintain through out the last 3-4 albums is ridiculous. They're a once in a generation type of talent, I truly think that.

[@thorstenbuschmeier9144]

Straight to the heart when i listen to it the first time, still has the same effect now and will be the same in 10 years time. Timeless masterpiece like the whole album.

[@cynide03]

My favorite song right now. Period.

[@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?

[@roccoclaps3098]

Tv on the radio will be the new best thing forever to me.

[@connorpowell9440]

Heard this on the radio at work and now I'm addicted to this song

[@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.

[@cdbrown30]

I’ve never really thought much about the lyrics. Heartbreaking but it sounds so good.

[@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.

[@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".

[@rowerss]

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

[@hotrodandrube9119]

This is a legit jam.

[@fancylance3457]

I'm living this song at this very moment

[@darthvegan]

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

[@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.

[@rckhnt]

My awesome girlfriend hipped me to this song...God I love my girlfriend..

[@fabianmontoya1780]

Exquisite melody, I can not stop listening to it

[@HolisticHealing77]

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

[@amang1001]

Been 10 plus years and still missing u...

[@jhkryptik11]

This song speaks to my soul - a confession of the heart.

[@raphaellk2]

SYNTHS AND THAT PAUSE AT 2:22 ARE ALL I NEED!

[@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.

[@jakedelorey]

So excited for this album, and some east coast dates

[@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.

[@Xenavernus]

Totally digging this song. 2014 ends with TV on the Radio.

[@eleanorfitz2143]

seriously AMAZING! TVOR is back and better than ever!

[@gwynnielsen5081]

I love you sounds so much more beautiful in French.

[@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

[@phuturephunk]

This is a great work. This whole album was amazing, but this....this is a great work.

[@PyroTechh]

I must say, this is one of the best lyric videos I've seen. and an epic song

[@Stuffguysshouldknow]

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

[@3amauzu]

This song is so good and unique; they are trying new things, TVOTR like all of us of us live and experience different things over the years and their new sound is a reflection of that.

[@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.

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.
