Thank you Henrietta Lacks for contributing to yet more greatness in the world. First fighting cancer, second a Yeasayer album.

[@EmilyKimMartin]

The last half of this song is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard in my entire life. I've been hooked since the first time I came across it in 2014.

[@onionringassault1]

"This song is about Henrietta Lacks, a poor black woman whose cancer cells became the first line of immortal human cells. She died in 1951. When she was being treated for cervical cancer, the doctors at Johns Hopkins took tissue samples without her consent. Though her cells have been responsible for many important discoveries, her family has never seen a dime." -JunePollard

[@Arguetta92]

To this day, this album blasts on my speakers… it aged like the rarest and finest of the wines. Love this.

[@chaosmos24]

That bass at the end. Sublime. The last minute of this song is painfully beautiful.

[@deeplearningexplained]

It's crazy that Henrietta cells are still living on to this day, scattered around researchers lab throughout the world.

[@od3503]

Is that what fans are called in this band? If it is call me one!

[@_7__716]

@@od3503 "Henrietta" refers to Henrietta Lacks en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks

[@ArinaImbirovski]

I was searching for Henrietta by The Fratellis but honestly I think I like this better!

[@beserkerbison7071]

The hands of time will catch us all- long live Yeasayer

[@BLiTz5]

Still bummed these guys decided to move on! So many good songs and this one (especially the intro) is so damn catchy. Good luck to you all in the future. Great musicians and one of the few bands that sounds almost better live!

[@geogecko137]

Absolutely, I was really sad the first time I heard it, though. But I think sometimes it's best to look forward and move on. And they achieved so much with their music. Also do you know by any chance what Chris Keating is doing now? I've heard Anand Wilder has dropped a single this year and is going to release a solo debut called "Delirium Passes" next year. But I haven't heard any news from the other past members of Yeasayer.

[@McLambo]

To drop some acid and see funky shit is one thing, but to be able to create something is just alike (is it), that's what's special!

[@WiloPolis03]

Just now relatively recently discovering Yeasayer after listening to Ambling Alp growing up and damn, they're exactly my sound. So good

[@Caliphane]

Check out bear in heaven too

[@Surrealest]

Whoever made this video, wow, holy eff

[@passionbowl]

I'm melting.

[@dms5341]

forever and always the best. miss you guys.

[@eleven864]

God please let more find these guys

[@MoonBearBush]

i swear ever since i saw these dudes live ( twice in my life ) i have been hooked to them one of the best bands around.

[@dalekay9ine]

Amazing song. Has brought me to tears- no shame. YEASAYER!

[@bssa96]

just more the same damm thing

[@ThePath242]

Awesome- how the song changes at around 1.58! Pure Art!

[@rachaelwaters8636]

Fever in the night, and the tremors come on But it's you who'll survive, just like nobody thought Nails turnin' red, lying cold on the bed And now it turns out, death's not the end She was a bone, we sharpened our teeth A magnificent drone, was serving under our feet You'll make a man rich, he'll throw you away And after he's gone, oh HeLa's here to stay Radiation makes you weak, tired okays leave your speech The world owes more than they'll pay, in the wind I heard them say... Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever Ohh Henrietta, we can live on forever **I claim no ownership to the lyrics, the video, the song, etc.

[@ShopliftersUnite]

yeasayer never fails to impress, just when you thought you had it with modern music, this is not only really unique and original, its a fantastic song

[@alencett]

Every time I think I have a favorite track, I listen to another one and change my mind... Just Yeasayer being Yeasayer...

[@launderground]

we love yeasayer.

[@guildoffline]

slow clap .... this song is amazing. yeasayer continues to impress me.

[@chrisbernardo5500]

Incredible song

[@MankindFilm]

Henrietta Lacks does live on forever, I just realized who this song is about and go do yourself a favor and learn her story it's incredible and super weird.

[@thEskYeL]

help me! cant stop listening again and again and again... only the new album can save me!

[@FreediverRob]

that ending is so catchy!!!! I cant help but sing it

[@phantogroupie909]

Oooohhhhh Henrieettaaaahh, we can live on foreveerrrrrrrrrr

[@MrAronymous]

knowing the meaning of the song makes is so much more powerful. i love it.

[@johnnygogo]

And it`s about time Yeasayer comes to Portugal for a gig! Hurry up! :)

[@egzypl]

forest, ocean and sky. i saw it when i'm high. how wonderful video!

[@everydayimshoegazing]

I love this song so much...

[@CLaybobMastadon]

Who needs drugs? This is amazing, regardless. So glad these guys have evolved so far rather than stagnating or falling off, entirely. Truly amazing stuff.

[@jad5418]

Watch the interviews of Henrietta's family and try to tell me that they dont show a solemn pride in the fact that she is now famous for having helped thousands of other human beings fight disease and live better/longer/healthier lives... Some things mean more than money, life is one of them.

[@ancestralvision]

intro riff = the most ultra super mega cool melody. period.

[@732nina]

Mike Shinoda brought me to this awesome song thank you

[@halesm]

adore this song, glad the video is just as good

[@R3UQZ]

What this video in full screen while blazed....It's awesome!

[@kyrill19]

I saw some time ago on facebook that Henrietta officially for the world to see got her recognition as a scientist. Hurah for that. She deserves to be recognised in human history.

[@011wong]

cant wait to see them in londonnnnn grrrrr

[@iveylamos64]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@iAple]

Finally the official version!

[@flakitugahbaybay]

please go on...

[@c4hI0fo2p]

Fell in love today

[@seafoamren]

i was a little lax at first listen, but now it strikes me as dominating... sweet ride yeasayer (like your older stuff, but still as good)

[@p4zky]

yess, me too! this vid reminds me "waiting for the end"

[@dannypolyson2847]

I didn't think Odd Blood could be topped, they certainly did

[@acopperheart]

effin' love yeasayer EFFIN' LOVE YEASAYER

[@rahrah5350]

wow, i'm reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks for my AP Bio summer reading. now i'm actually interested!

[@Maicolacola]

The intro reminds me of a Ratatat song, but I can't put my finger on it. It's like that feeling of having a word on the tip of your tongue that alludes you.

[@johnnyBuz072]

probably took some inspiration form lp3/lp4

[@bigxhulk]

Nice. I used Michio Kaku's explanation of paradoxes to write a paper while listening to this song on repeat, because this song is awesome.

[@McLambo]

I find these kind of video's awesome! How does one think this up, is what i'm always wondering

[@boosh1988]

Totally just got the full video as an advert ON this video. Took me a good thirty second to notice.

[@Wastelandwizard]

i must see them live.

[@misiek080]

That's what I noticed about their music, never turn down a track before it's end Also, I love this band

[@grantblocmates]

5:21 UK (GMT) this sent me some where else

[@thenightdnb]

awesome

[@MarkToast99]

I have to do a project for school where I find songs that could relate to Henrietta Lacks. I think this'll work pretty well

[@hayls22]

dope bass line

[@billhicks8]

I've heard legend tell of a certain people out there, who have heard these bands you speak of, perhaps even owning their classic albums, and yet still persisting in their impudent listening to Yeasayer. Clearly this is beyond fucking comprehension, a pure classic rock thoroughbred such as yourself could never dream! Nor could any steely eyed veteran of the vinyl kingdom. Just jks lol.

[@montesmoulder]

TBH, I am not normally a "holy shit do drugs and listen to music" but this whole album seems VERY trippy... definitely some of the most trippy I've heard. I actually want to do some moly when I see them live... but that's more for me than them.

[@evelynpread]

nice song

[@enidthezombie]

I like to think that this song is for Henrietta Lacks.

[@oldman9924]

wow at this song ending

[@moonsugar1]

1 dislike? Well I spose one bad trip out of 105 sounds about right. More yeasayer please!

[@danwchan]

Oh yeah! I went through my collection and found the track it reminded me of: Mirando It's not 100% the same. I think it would make an interesting sound/remix having it laid on top of the hook here.

[@maksymiliankoczaski9061]

I can't believe 2012 was 6 years ago. I mean, there were also years before 2012 that seemed like it was yesterday ..

[@blackbettyblog]

That's true about most things.

[@Naffen]

It is.

[@ShopliftersUnite]

and i hear definitely some aphex twin selected ambient works vol. 2 influence too

[@Ballysack]

Kinda reminds me of Muse, they are also one of the best bands out there if you ask me

[@hayls22]

I think the song has less emphasis on Yeasayer's amazing range of vocals and more emphasis on the layered instruments which is kind of sad because it's always been their voices that have really drawn me in

[@FangsFirst]

There are no drugs strong enough to create that image.

[@SensoriaMaRia]

HeLa; you & I are fully bonded, now. I cannot take away the hurt of being used without your knowledge. I hope it matters that you've given so much to so many! My death dance of 8 years is ending soon. HeLa, I'm donating my body to be a part of curing my disease type. One that is insidious & is just starting to manifest in humans. May my death bring others relief & a cure! HeLa, thank you. HeLa, I love you. HeLa, thank you!

[@elbojoints]

ohhhh henrietta

[@billhicks8]

Well if it makes a whole lot of difference, I've heard more than just the odd ditty or two in my time and Yeasayer still sounds pretty swell to me. Don't really care who claims to reinvent what wheel. I guess I used to swill all the music I heard around my conscious mind like it was some kind of fine wine waiting for my judgement, but that just got old. I dig this band, I think they're pretty cool, fin.

[@subliminaloats1]

immortal

[@Zachariass100]

♥

[@Dwillisbass]

good bass part

[@hotelmario510]

This is one of those things that makes you stop and go "What the actual fuck was that?!"

[@ApexFlow]

2:00 for some reason gives me a pink floyd echoes vibe

[@hipstahpickul]

i grew up in henrietta

[@o0BusterBaxster0o]

best song and artist at latitude fest :P

[@melissaadams1544]

HENRIETTA IS MY HEN'S NAME

[@rawrpancake]

dunno what should i think about this track. :x

[@pascal590]

Well, the lyrics go "Oh henrietta, we can live on forever" so it probably is.

[@LinkinParkKanenite]

Does this sample Godspeed You Black Emperor???

[@tysunde456]

DO NOT post on these videos and say you are better than Yeasayer.. I mistakenly actually listened to your music and it does not even compare to the quality and flow this song has to offer. You can keep trying but you will Never be as good as this.

[@zebeninho13]

OH henrietta must be so damn pretty

[@FangsFirst]

You are correct. What is this word?

[@ryanpaszek2067]

@Michael Sieler is it "Mirando"?

[@Ratablama]

+Ryan Paszek yes

[@jahrast4i]

yea

[@drsetherz]

This makes 1080p seem a bit too low.

[@iindii]

I found a cool band mum!

[@xCsl12]

For some reason, after the 2 minute mark, the song reminds me so much of Aphex Twin

[@Pierrevx1]

ting

[@echalici]

if you watch it your eyes crossed, you can actually see the proper video

[@blackbettyblog]

Is that steam whistling?

[@PeterPandrew]

cool story...

[@fadeskywards1245]

I thought it was "Oh Henrietta, we can make love another day"
