Don't despair, you're there From beginning, to middle, to end Don't despair, You're there through my wasted days You're there through my wasted nights Oh despair, you've always been there You've always been there You've always been there You're there through my wasted years Through all my lonely fears, no tears Run through my fingers, tears They're stinging my eyes, no tears If it's all in my head there's nothing to fear Nothing to fear inside Through the darkness and the light Some sun has got to rise My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days You're there through my wasted nights You're there through my wasted years You're there through my wasted life You've always been there You've always been there You've always been there There through my wasted years Through all of my lonely fears, no tears Run through my fingers, tears They're stinging my eyes, no tears We're all on the edge, there's nothing to fear Nothing to fear inside Through the darkness and the light Some sun has got to rise My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Some sun has got to rise My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Some sun has got to rise

For me, anyway... this is first the saddest and most moving, then the most heartfelt, and most heartbreaking, and finally the most epic, most hopeful, most triumphant and most joyful song and video ever... Thank you, Brian, Nick and Karen and thank you for your show at Echo Beach.

[@g1stylempdesign929]

Absolutely.

Don't despair...

[@mrandmrsmartin]

By far the best song I've ever heard that describes how it feels when a period of depression descends upon you...and how it feels when that depression lifts.

[@idontknow929]

Don't despair, you're there From beginning to middle to end Don't despair, you're there Through my wasted days You're there through my wasted nights Oh despair, you've always been there You were there through my wasted years Through all my lonely fears, no tears Run through my fingers, tears They're stinging my eyes, no tears If it's all in my head there's nothing to fear Nothing to fear inside Through the darkness and the light Some sun has got to rise

[@maggiepie765]

I dealt with depression for years… I’m in a much better headspace now - this song kind of helped me through it - for me this song meant that “despair/sadness/sorrow will always be there - it’s a part of me and it will never go away and it’s okay. I don’t have to be afraid to live. Life really is full of ups and downs and I just have to enjoy it all no matter how hard it is - life is beautiful like this, with all of it’s imperfections”. 2022 and yes I searched for this song. 💜🖤💜

[@Olyfrun]

Despair is a part of everything, not just you. That's part of what makes sadness so beautiful.

[@isee7283]

Appreciate your comment, didn't search for any of this yet fell in love with YYY immediately

[@pkitty2219]

The most joyous song about depression-don't jump!

[@truelovewontwait]

Honestly shed a tear heard this for the first time. All those friends, who left, gone, stay, and died through our lives, this song is for those people

[@eureka9113]

8 years later your comment touches me. Live on.

[@JaneDoe-ot8zt]

First time hearing this track... Exactly what I needed to hear. I.m still trying to recover from many years of abuse and I am having a hard time tonight. Asking for The sun to rise...

I can never figure out if this Band is always ahead of their time or their sound is just timeless.

[@blues713317]

And this is where the yyy's really shine. They always make the bleekest of places, optimistic.

[@annemariebenoit4263]

If that's why you like them you might like Rilo Kiley... I find they make the darkest of places beautiful and, usually, not without hope.

[@blues713317]

Anne Marie Benoit So I pulled up some Rilo, honestly I can't say I ever heard of her. I listened to a few tracks, most importantly though, the Frug has a music video that was lifted from MTV 😂 Good old MTV... memories.

[@blindpilot167]

the song helped me a lot when one of my best friends died unexpectedly in thailand. At least he died where he liked it best. Rest easy Milo Dan

[@barbarahecht4617]

Keep on rocking together, Karen, Nick & Brian... I just can't get enough.

[@LuckyTangerineGirl]

this song is masterpiece

[@jasonmcmurrin8319]

For sure I saw them perform this on jimmy fallon mesmerising!

[@momotozabuza]

I swear I REALLY don't understand why there are ONLY 1.5 million views.

[@fudroaster6291]

For a small group of three, they produce beautifully iconic and memorable video's, capturing these everlasting and emotional sounds. Magnificent. I will be listening & watching YYY till I die. In fact I will request this at my wake.

[@cheveuxvert418]

amén hermanx

[@TheeMikeForce]

I just now realized how truly iconic this band and Karen O. are... Ms. O is the culmination of Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynett, Linda Rhondstat and.... Janis Joplin... a true,primal force!

[@MasKistershi]

Karen is just the coolest, most awesome, powerful, amazing woman. And this song rocks.

[@dianareynolds2833]

This song redeemes mankind ❤️❤️❤️

God I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Just so good. Seeing them live is #1 on my bucket list.

Caleb Jaqua lucky enough to have caught them in Chicago at the Aragon ballroom in 2009, will never forget it!

[@maddiegibbons4059]

I was so happy to see them in Portland OR. I was just a kid, and i tried to talk the security guard into letting me go back stage to talk to them and a do a report for the school newspaper. I didn't of coarse. But I don't regret anything.

[@6066RAAAAAAHHHH]

wonder if you saw them in the past 6 years

[@brandonconnelly2216]

One of the very few bands that may even be better live. So.much energy

I first heard this song when the hardest moment in my life passed and I felt helpless and worthless and this helped me release the moment the guitar solo and bridge kick in. You guys nailed it with this song. I will never forget the first time I heard this. Beautiful

one of the few bands i love that didn't come from the 90's. they make music comparable to that era.

[@Highandidle81]

There is perfection & there is Karen O and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Thank you "you were always there". Love & appreciation from an Irishman.

[@clothsandbones4880]

This song got me through my depression when it was released. Love you KO.

[@hander929]

I was feeling really F-ing down when I played this, now by the time it's over I'm singing along with a big smile on my face. This is JUST what I needed.

[@paolaleja1]

I just fell in love with this song/video. Karen's smile is so gorgeous and the way she is always dancing and jumping all over the place, the guys playing... for some reason it makes me feel happy XD

[@rorib7509]

the mention of the shared sun in this song, in connection to the sun melting golden houses in Spitting Off The Edge of The World

[@massoudhayoun8477]

This is one of the greatest songs of all time, and one of the greatest music videos, and one of the greatest musical ensembles, and one of the great groups of performers (live and generally), ever. And I am privileged to be alive at a time when I can listen to this song over and over. Thanks.

[@isee7283]

Amen

[@hunterthompsyn]

my god. this video is incredible. this song is incredible.

They all seem like they're pretty good actors/entertainers espiecally in terms of facial expressions and such.

[@rachelfalkenstern8960]

Listening to this every single morning for weeks, since we've been inside almost every single day. Shared it with my classes (college students in nyc) and they appreciated it too. Thank you YYYs and Karen O for making this and for being awesome.

Glad I met you, back in 2009.

Nick took a taxi, Brian took the subway, kinda glad we don't see how KO got to the Empire State building; leaves the possibility that she can in fact teleport.
