Yeasayer - "I Am Chemistry" (Official Music Video)

[@yeahbaw]

one of the most underrated bands of all time

[@andreahegarty9262]

Damn right!

[@HotPepperGaming]

I'm so obsessed with whatever the hell this was.

[@koenvanrijsoort7486]

I see you comment a lot on good music video's, i'm a fan of your channel it's a great concept.

[@pioneer2thefall220]

+Koen van Rijsoort me too!

[@theinfectedshowroom9729]

+Pioneer2TheFall me 3 xD

[@theoldblood3804]

indietronica dude duhhh

[@WynneL]

+Hot Pepper Gaming Looks like a dying hallucination to me. And, so am I!

[@chance3535]

Those dance moves by the Yeasayer boys have me questioning my chemistry

[@joshmclovin]

One of the most underrated bands. This song was something else, still miss these guys every day.

[@mashlahernandez4376]

I'm obsessed with the dancing/singing broccoli group(or whatever they are). They are so freaking cute.

[@KevinKnutson]

True art invokes emotions across a whole spectrum, sometimes euphoric and sometimes painful. I am very uncomfortable watching this, and thats what makes it so beautiful.

[@umbra1016]

Very well put. Just because it doesn't evoke good feelings doesn't mean it's good art.

[@aFoxyFox.]

Any other things that have made you feel that way? Please share such music here or via my email at [e-mail]

[@aFoxyFox.]

@@umbra1016 lol did you mean to say it that way?

[@Vertlain]

One of the most oddly genius songs ever made. Damn. Thank you for the music and good luck with your future projects. RIP Yeasayer.

[@TheMartine]

Ah shit, I didn't realize they split :(

[@pelleeberhardt7073]

That last part is the work of a genie... So unexpected and beautiful. Magnificent

[@DaBratlife]

2:00 - 3:20 I LOVE this breakdown in the song!!!

[@cassidy9034]

I would literally drop every single thing in my life and fly half way around the world to see this band live just one more time

[@RicardoMayo_]

I had tickets to see them live in 2019 and they called it quits a few days before the show :(

[@audiss111]

Majestic Theater in 2012 in Madison WI. Wish I could do it again as well.

[@socrjox10]

yeasayer rules

[@qcrew2938]

I saw them at Bonaroo in 2009 on molly..... I didn't know what I had in front of me

[@socrjox10]

@@qcrew2938 i was there too in similar condition...lit city

[@Gallzatron]

I'm a rock and roll purist, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate true art when I see/hear it. This is some of the best contemporary music I've heard in a long time.

[@Joseph-un8jk]

Yes.

[@Bungalord]

I’m with you. They are fantastic.

[@Grushvak]

You ever have one of those days where you crawl out of your own crotch and die three times surrounded by naked dancing clay men? Those are the worst.

[@muddro420]

That's what happens if you fool with oleander.

[@MrFartyjoe]

Too Funny!

[@quantumleapers]

ive been laughing about this for a solid 3 minutes.

[@ennui_u9352]

muddro420 Don't forget to never handle those deadly Quaker Buttons again, a lotta people forget that part

[@TheMartine]

I haven't watched this in a good while, but holy shit it still gives me goosebumps

[@Feasco]

"I am an unholy abomination born from an unholy abomination birthed from a doomed astronaut." "OK but check out these sick moves." "Guess I'll transform into something beyond mortal comprehension."

[@mortimer_exe]

I love how it's my dad who introduced me to yeasayer

[@themanthemyththelegend4519]

You have a cool dad.

[@bigodetejibubble4617]

thats fucking amazing

[@chimichanga8929]

Me too

[@Paulo-c3n]

Gta v soz

[@josephxburke]

One of the most original bands out there, musically and visually.

[@danjahhfull]

I've been listening to yeasayer since around 2009 and I swear to this day I've never heard anything that sounds like them. Really excited for this new album!

[@volpe_lightsong]

I remember when this was released it was like NOTHING else out there, both video and song left a huge impact on me with their genius 👀🙏

[@tomduffin8076]

Thanks to this song I (and many others) will forever be able to rattle off the chemical formula for Sarin gas by heart... not many tracks can claim a fact like that...

[@mrbison3837]

No words 😵‍💫

[@WormSermonizer]

best song structure EVER.done

[@snia8122]

listening 1st time: it's good listening 3rd time: hey, it's reaally good.. listening 20th time: SH*T IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER

[@Endfloat]

Agreed! I think I'm on my 15th listen and it just keeps getting better!

[@ryannell]

Totally incredible art direction

[@ominhhieu7809]

This video gives me nightmares, but somehow I hit the replay button so hard. Thank you for this amazing piece of art.

[@johngalt84nyc]

I'm learning the dance so i can do it when i see them live. can't wait to hear them play the new songs

[@J.Battles]

I so miss seeing you guys live and looking forward to new music from you. Bittersweet moments revisiting your music, and i do it time and time again. Yeasayer will always be one of my favorites.

[@mysticmysfits9914]

Currently learning the naked man dance with a few other performers to act out this music video. Its a huge local event and there are many other videos and pieces involved but I'm pretty excited about this one!

[@jiaming5639]

The bridge of this song is the most extraordinary one I have ever heard

[@starcatchfilms4367]

How all music videos should be. Wierd wonderful short little artistic journeys to beautiful sounds. 👍

[@politure]

Hear hear!

[@Salamander676]

I realized the meaning of this video is rebirth and leaving behind the dead shell of who you once were that’s still apart of you but no longer alive

[@Mrshutter]

I thought it's about how fragile the chemistry of nature is. That we play with it

[@socrjox10]

i thought it was about how brilliant hideki matsui is

[@littleferrhis]

Just did my chemistry homework to this, so now I feel like a much greater badass at it then I am.

[@jorepstein1]

in the lab right now ;D

[@111cvb111]

Gives me a bit of an Oddworld vibe. Stuff like this was fairly more common around the 90s.

[@cesiumverbal102]

"I Am Chemistry" I'm digoxin from the foxglove plant The last remaining VX from Anniston I'm an ACN and I'm DDT Tap into your spine I am a chemistry It's a gas, a sarin for high tea A C4H10FO2P puts you on your knees A sulfur dichloride with ethylene I say it again: I am a chemistry She doesn't need my help poisoning the well beneath the rue leaves She only needs my help pleasuring herself beneath the rue leaves My mama told me not to fool with oleander And never handle the deadly quaker buttons again My mama told me not to fool with oleander And never handle the deadly quaker buttons again My mama told me not to fool with oleander And never handle the deadly quaker buttons again I am chemistry I am chemistry I am chemistry I am chemistry (When you least expect it) I am chemistry (That is when you get it) I am chemistry (When you least expect it) I am chemistry (That is when you get it) I am chemistry

[@TheObliviousi]

Lyrics. Top comment. Second only to dissection of the song. Love of the band is silly here

[@hannahattar]

for some reason, my biology professor showed us this today

[@BlackIcexxi]

lul

[@emdrake04]

That's.. super rad.

[@fadeskywards1245]

Kek

[@formlessone2807]

Seems fitting. Any song that can work sarin's chemical name into lyrics describing both classic & modern poisons in an artistic way seems interesting from an organic chemistry sense. Cardiac glycosides, strychnine, digitoxins - a reminder that we're a collection of delicate, highly orchestrated chemical reactions, and that tampering with them is sufficient to end us.

[@RealBigStudio]

@@formlessone2807 The narrative in the video also presents rapid evolution on a strange planet, with each generation of post-human alien-thing becoming more 'adapted' or 'suited' to the environement.

[@samtgodfrey]

Now this is what we used to call Far Freakin' Out, man! And the message be wizard!

[@mpbenja]

Can't stop watching this. So strange yet so good. The synth part is spot on!

[@razmig]

That was different. Looking forward to the new album!

[@jaredleite7757]

This is the best thing I've seen this year.

[@feellikearanger5950]

the 2:05m break down is absolutely amazing

[@xfourxseasonsx]

BEST WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR!!!! I LOVE YOU YEASAYER

Note to NASA; watch out for this planet.

+NodMan It's been quite well documented that no one should ever attempt to land on the surface of Solaris.

[@grosezero8834]

You mean earth

[@SJhikes]

[@solkimmyjones]

More like send a crew out there and study their dance moves

[@deprofundis3293]

I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've watched this/listened to this song. It's a problem.

Beyond underrated band. Great show tonight in philly, guys.

[@ColtA13]

My song of the year (so far)

[@Ponerine]

Gotta agree, dude. This is awesome.

+ColtA13 I unequivocally agree.

[@TheGiannaras2]

my song of the year as well

[@SudeauxLux]

yeasayer def back. this is all hour cymbals good. so hopeful for the rest of it. have listened to this song about 25 times. i can't stop.

[@wojt4spes]

This is brilliant. Instant classic.

[@Jarocus]

I cannot stop re-watching this, I'm hooked.

[@leanneriso1739]

I love this music video. It is gorgeous. It also helped me study for my ecotoxicology course! Nothing like claymation to make digoxin stick!

[@HiEndowiec]

Nie potrafię oderwać się od tej piosenki. Śni mi się po nocach, koszmar jakiś i dalej słucham...

[@quantarp3156]

I was at coachellla when they had yeasayer, hot chip, and vampire weekend playing at the same time. you bet your ass i was at yeasayer, front row.

[@lorenzotosiart]

Still on of my favourite songs EVER. AND, the video is astonishing still today. Creepy yet somehow uplifting (the thought of being chemistry and transforming apparatuses brings peace to my mind, everything flows and transforms)

[@hoshwacordoba6491]

Happy Anniversary to this amazing song! I remember hearing this the exact day literally a year ago, that this came out. Introduced me into a fantastic band. :')

[@rabidfish02]

2:00 - through the end of the song gave me goosebumps.

[@eurosportandcry]

I will never sleep anymore, but that's ok, cause there will be a new Yeasayer record

[@Endfloat]

What an incredible song! And that bass at 2:55 is mega!

[@thecellulontriptometer4166]

Absolutely amazing display of audio-visual creativity. To all the product pop rehash copy crazy so-called recording artists out there: grab a little inspiration of real imagination.

[@jeffhlavac6869]

Discovered this track when it dropped about 4 years ago. Had to login to my old Spotify account to find it on a Playlist today. Quality track!

[@paulkihn981]

What I learned...not to fool with Oleander and never handle the daily Quaker buttons again

[@schmaniel86]

*deadly quaker buttons

[@virtualsensations754]

+Paul Kihn Aren't they made in Mexico these days? That's what President Donald Trump said.

[@geraniumkiss]

My favorite part.

[@muddro420]

Also, learned that Sarin is C4H10FO2P. I already knew it would put you on your knees though.

[@Salamander676]

Oleander is a decent band

[@codysanders5004]

It so god damn perfect. Thank you for this one.

[@richardevans7669]

omg so good you guys! song and video is on point!

[@srduncanbyu]

+Richard Evans instantly converted into a yeasayer fan!

[@tatenaibenbusi]

Trippy! Can't wait for the album, the tracklist is so promising.

[@folginator]

Got to be one one the best videos I've ever seen, a real piece of art. Music is great too.

[@jorepstein1]

I love the synchronized dancing... always blows my mind

[@jeros1923]

this is ART.

[@menelik05]

Yes 💕❤💓

[@TheVenusBlood]

Heard this the day it came out... Lucky to be a fan now.

[@MiotaLee]

I though there were too many impressions the first time I heard and saw this, so, I didn't like it until I woke up the next morning with the phrase "I am chemistry" looping in my head.

[@RWKirby-gk7mk]

This is still F#ckin Great ! Nice-one Yeasayer

[@zan569suck]

Favorite song of 2016!

[@m.steiner7559]

incredible track.. the part at 02.00 is dreamy af, can't get enough of it. thank you yeasayer!

[@emdrake04]

2:02 Me being the only person dancing at the school dance.

[@ridney5887]

Love this song, love this video, love the final image: a column of light illuminating the husk it came from.

[@dsw8077]

I maybe comprised of chemistry but apparently I am as toxic as the compounds listed in this song. Perhaps this is why the song speaks to me.

[@makailahhackett]

When art and chemistry combine.

[@usedfuzzbox]

How No Man's Sky should have turned out.......

[@sid9890]

If giant planets and the fact it takes forever to travel through space wasn't scary enough.

[@ErenBesiroglu]

Came here to be weirded out/amazed by Yeasayer's music videos, and was greatly pleased once again!

[@hooshjames]

Ummm. I..uh. hmmm. I think I need to go pray.

GOD

[@ChelseaBrown_Sincerely]

Actually pretty fucking brilliant. An exploration of the path to self-actualization, transformation, rebirth, and becoming. Discovery of what it means to be an individual in a society of others, and most impressively, eventual reconciliation with the past. Kind of gruesome in its depiction, but inspired.

[@oliverstannard4259]

Oh yeeeaaaaaasayer!!! Back in town baym

[@bellrose2659]

I really want to learn the entire dance and perform it in my dance class... 🙃

[@danielvutran]

Beautifully shot video.

[@aarushsharma1432]

This should be considered the standard of measurement of good music. Such a unique video, not flaunting cars/chicas, this whole package is something people need to watch, listen and admire, and this one is way better than all the mumble raps that've been coming up. Too bad this song is underrated.

[@robertfultz2842]

Can't stop listening! Yet another awesome song.. looking forward to April 1.

[@joeestes7594]

I don't wanna get off this ride.
