It's so nice to hear a band where everyone can sing. And they all have distinct voices. I feel like Anand's voice fits this song perfectly, but at the same time when Chris comes in later with the "I killed my baby with a bullet" part, his voice is exactly what the song needed. And Ira is flawless with the harmonies throughout. There just aren't very many bands that can pull that kind of thing off.
For me, I find this so much more real than the album. This is my favorite song by them and the vocals are just so pure; there's not a sour note. The epitome of yeasayer for me are their live performances.
Yeasayer, you guys are the best! Those harmonies are mind-bending and the song structure is truly epic. I think this song, in all its incarnations, is perfect. Love you guys!
what about 4:07 when the drums kick in again....it rocks! love their harmonies, especially at 4:37 when Anand chimes in again...oh to be in the studio with them then...
I just caught them live at the Laneway Festival in Singapore last night! Never heard of them but was so blown away by their performance I'm going to buy their CDs next week! Yeasayers, Foal, Chk Chk Chk and Temper Trap, all amazing bands to catch live! Will blow your minds away!
this band is great..such a wonderful blend of music and amazing fusion of electronica..with a soft touch of psychedelic sound..i enjoyed their blending..keep rocking guys..
I agree, this studio makes AMAZING mixes. You could just make an album from these. This song could have been played on any stage in the world and capivated them all!
i saw yeasayer in minneapolis when they opened for man man. i purposely bought tix just for yeasayer i didn't even stay for man man. this is still good in 2020
Just fyi, you can download a live version that sounds even better than this one (and definitely better than the original album version) on Amazon; highly recommended!!
I don't think he was judging them based on their looks but simply stating they look like people he happens to know/run into. Aside from that, this song is damn good.
It's mid-2022 and to me this is still one of the greatest slices of musical ear candy I've ever heard and no one will convince me otherwise.
2023*
2024 and same
Rediscovering this after 12 years.
Mind blowing musicians.

I can relate to that.
Their harmonization is unbelievable...this is crazy good
This is like one of my all time favorite bands to go to when I feel like singing
Love Yeasayer! This performance sounds amazing, and I prefer listening to this over the album version! ♥
My god, this should have 50 million views, this is so good
The bit where the song changes. Oh my that bit.
Possibly the best ever version of this song x
What I loved about Yeasayer is they always sounded like they were from another planet or dimension.
This is easily one of the most beautiful songs... So haunting.
I love the current for getting great musicians and the indie scene out there. Great Music! I love Yeasayer!
The guitar and lyrical cohesion in this song are breathtaking. Could listen on repeat for hours!

Excelente, percibo cierta influencia Andina en los arreglos musicales.
Folk legends from Mars.
