One of those recordings that despite first hearing it 9 or 10 years ago I just have to come back. This version has just something else that really makes it.

[@Lukavichiano]

Oh man, totally agree. I share your story and feelings. This version does something else for me/to me.

[@macmanmanny3983]

Forgetting about this song (name included).. Hearing it in your head all day long. Getting home.. Spending half an hour looking for it. Play. ... Bliss... 😀

[@michaeltharrington8858]

Haha, so true! Been a Yeasayer fan for years now and I love this version. I just keep on coming back to it.

[@ninak.t.5695]

Saaaameeeee

[@mahzorimipod]

yeasayer peaked here

[@connorisawsome8440]

This band deserved waaaaay more recognition. I will always be greatful they were the soundtrack to my teen years, I'll always come back to these guys. Love them forever!

[@mahzorimipod]

they flamed out after their electronic albums didn't do so well

[@paulyshore1942]

2010 was a golden year in music

[@njv1234]

2007-2010!

[@vesnarakic4]

This song changed/saved my life. Thank you yeasayer

[@ebjeezer]

@rjpm92 - 14 years later, still keep coming back. There is something so special about this song and performance, the layers are just amazing.

[@MrDonutslut]

1:30 "so you think you can solve all your problems by yourself" best sounding lyric of the song

[@TheWonderpants]

Probably one of the best videos (songs) I've ever seen. These guys have made music interesting and the sad thing is no one will ever know. For my part: They played the best show I've ever seen.

[@pauljustice5410]

+Jon LeClair I am new to them. And now I know.

[@HWynn87]

Get a grip mate this video has nearly 2m views

[@windowzombie]

Saw them at first ave in 2014 or 2015, honestly such amazing musicians, loved it.

[@johnr797]

What are you on about?

[@meyloose1013]

You share the same name as my favorite hockey player of all time

[@icemouf7480]

My KZbin with this music is all i had with this music here that got me through after my family was destroyed and all i had left was my Grandmother and she was took!!!!...and killed...and i couldn't do nothing because i had no support system left...and all i had was this type of music here to get me through!!...💎💎💎💎 thank you KZbin 😢😥💎

[@makaveli88888]

Miss this yeasayer

[@littlestbroccoli]

Thank you The Current for keeping this recording up for so long. I come back to hear it every once in a while to remember those times.

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

I honestly believe people stopped listening to Yeasayer, not only they're still there but they only improve, always bold and always engaging. Maybe some of us never really got them. To me they're the future of music.

[@Joemoo.]

Diego Oliveira man, they seriously are. I adore them

[@AshcIaw]

I understand them

[@CallumT15]

This is one of my favourite live performances. And to think have disbanded is sad, incredibly talented. Odd blood is unreal

[@DillonD14]

The problem is that they make true music. They aren’t like all the mainstream “musicians” that have all the same beats, lyrics, and tunes.

[@rogerwindsor7494]

Been listening since I was like 15 and I'm almost 30. What makes you think I'm going to stop now? This is a very underrated song

[@evenaTheStark]

I miss their music so much

[@smurf238]

it's fucking awesome how they have a kookaburra's call throughout the song - i love how they do that, it adds just this little bit extra, and makes you go, "that's fucking great". has anyone else noticed it?

[@fumma4592]

I will forever be fucking grateful for being able to hear this song live on there last tour before they split up I love this song and I can’t believe they actually played it. I also love them because they gave me a guest list and I was able to see them because of them I love you yeasayer you’ve been a big part of my life

[@mahzorimipod]

haha, i saw them them at lollapalooza in 2008 and they were one of the sets i still remember

[@wantonetwo1]

Beautiful song, chills every time

[@swimdreamer]

not trying to say i am anyone more than i am, or ever will be.. but i am obsessed with music.. with great music.. and yeasayer came to me when my little journey found the valley.. i'm up on the mountain now.. what a beautiful view..

[@casualvideowatcher]

I genuinely miss Yeasayer.

[@fabianreah1708]

Yeah it’s immensely sad that they called time.

[@senatorgracus]

this is my favorite version of this song, this particular recording. I love how he staggers the *uh huh uhs*. Good harmony as well.

[@chrismd465]

Definitely an incredible set at PItchfork.. I saw them a few months ago and they just keep getting better and better since.

[@bdcht]

for the guitar its C/G , Am, G, C/E, with capo on III, (so that the real chords are Eb/Bb, Cm, Bb, Eb/G) (the bass line is Bb/C/Bb/G, Bb/C/Bb/x.)

[@oridniv]

I'm beyond being in LOVE with this band one of my absolute faves

[@FiadhC1]

I could listen to this ALL DAY!

[@kevseabass]

best version of this song, love it. the drummer brings something to this song shame he isn't still with them

[@timothyj.wright5833]

One of the weirdest bands I've ever heard, but man do they put on an awesome live show! This is a pretty good representation of their live sound, but the video doesn't do it justice. They're an experience!

[@sethmccall8313]

Cant wait to see you guys in ATL, Love your music and every ounce of dedication you put into it!

[@uhhwellthatsnotgood]

Dude that is truly awesome. Ive been listening to it for the past two years and just can't realize how they aren't so much bigger. I wish there were more people like you

Great song, can‘t find thru shazam or soundhound ect Was hard to figure out the artist/songname, but Finally i found it and felt a happiness to hear it in loop today. Great song!!!!

[@JCtheone1]

Amazing the energy spent on making sure that everyone is aware of your negative opinion. What do you get out of that, if you don't like it you are just a click away from removing it from the peace that you have in this world. Good luck to you in finding enjoyment in things.

[@brolithe]

This is fantastic.

[@openupawindow]

Can't wait to see them in Madison! YAY!

[@shavis001]

Awesome.

[@lopsided3363]
