Lyrics:
Thunder lights the road
Blacktop
Rolling under God
Now we’re dancing close
One to one
As our bodies lock
One to one we sway
On our way home
One to one we sway
And all the pain
Flows
Open
Open open opened up
Oh as I was young and easy
In the mercy of his means
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains
Like the sea
One to one we sway
One to one home
One to one we sway
And all the pain
Flows
Flows
Hello
Hold on
Til the love is gone
Gone home

How can a band still preserve its originality after 20 years? You guys are just phenomenal.
talent and creativity have not expiration date
Ive just been curious how Karen O looks exactly like she did in 2010. Not a line not a wrinkle smooth skin. She has Asian in her though. They do age gracefully.
Having a break for almost ten years 😝😅
I admit I just became a fan after Spitting Off the Edge of the World compelled me to learn more. But I understand why they have such a strong following. Her voice is so unique and genuine, in all aspects. And they seem dialed into to each other's musical journey as a unit. Very cool.
@@mwbrada welcome to the club.
Beautiful. Did this really get bad reviews? Critics are the worst. I swear, they get off on tearing people down. Karen O is iconic. A legend.
I know, right?! Critics are myopic and just want flappy braindead snuff songs that are easy to digest and much easier for the average dumbass to understand. I swear, we're living in a time like in the movie Josie and the Pussycats! Robotic, modern day zombies; let's brainwash everyone without thought or sense. Gahh!!XD
Unfortunately everything in life has a good and bad guy / cop.
The album got amazing reviews pretty much across the board, not sure what this is in reference to.
I'm surprised by the negativity this album received. With so much bad music on mainstream radio, an album like this is a huge breathe of fresh air. I don't care what the experts have said, this is great.
What negativity? It's sitting on an 82 on metacritic, getting most 7/8's out of 10. Fan reactions seem positive too. Or are you just trying to spin it to make it seem like you like something divisive because you get a kick out of being "different"?
No one understands beauty anymore they want suduction not adoration not love but lust, not kindness but dominance, not contentment but fear.
It's understandable given the fact that heartfelt music has been replaced by gangster rap, sexual hip hop and music that has no substance and is made for a moments enjoyment only to be replaced by the next bubblegum, unartistic mess they call music.
The very fabric of art has been misdirected and a lot of people do not have the ear to understand what music is meaningful and what is used to create social impressions and invoke unconscious influence and distort the minds of youths.
We know how much the world creates unwanted variables in our lives and provokes inner underlying human impulses through suggestions and applying subliminal context to the power of sound manipulations and frequency response or the use of psychological stimulation/depression and alterations to induce desired physical and biological rhythms that coorispondence with a unpresented theme or implications that can not be experienced directly yet through unconscious propagation of underlying human interests or desires.
This has value as music not only because of its sound but also the power of the genuine desire for people to experience greater levels of appreciation and enjoyment applied by those who created this song.
The power of musics healing and inspirational capasity far surpasses any other form of art without question.
As far as life goes music is the very fabric which all things are constructed from and which offers more then it receives.
Don't let music pass you by without acknowledging it's poignant and profound dynamics because it is a life force in of itself.
Cheers!!
I agree! I love yeahyeahyeahs unconditionally!
Where is the negativity? Probably from annoying hipsters who loved this band in their first two albums and enjoy saying “they’re not as good as before”
This IS on mainstream radio and mainstream radio rocks.
From the moment it started it felt like a song that was already one of my favorites. Really beautiful.
I love how they always come back with a new take on their sound rather than trying to recreate FTT. So many bands from the same era are stuck doing pale imitations of their hits from 20 years ago. I'm so glad YYYs are not one of them. They still sound so fucking fresh. Cool It Down really is an EP but it's a great to have them back!!
Blacktop is one of the most beautiful songs they've ever written, right up there with Soft Shock, Turn Into, Wedding Song and the others. It really hits you right in the heart, especially when Karen's soothing voice reassures you to "hold on", and at 3:43 it feels like all the worry, stress and despair has lifted away into the void. YYYs forever! 🥲
And don't forget about,
"Under the Earth"!
😆🤘
@@vashstarwind36 😝 best song on Mosquito!
The mere mention of Soft Shock gave me goosebumps
Soft shock & turn into ❤️
YES EXACTLY!!!
She has such a beautiful voice. 🥹🥺
I'd spend a night with her maybe you getting some drinks, and a hug.would be beyond expectations
I was in college when Maps was released and I have been a fan ever since.
I feel priviliged knowing about the existence of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and I feel sorry for those who don't
Correct.
👍
I'm in love with her silky voice ❤️ Always innovating, that's why I love this band. Love from Tijuana, México.
And San Diego, CA.
Voice is great just sucks that the songs are garbage
Look up Tijuana Cartel the band 👍✌️
@@azenxhlaalu6338 huh? Zero sucks, heads will roll sucks, maps sucks...?
@@azenxhlaalu6338 Guess we can agree to disagree.
I think I can speak for many of us - thank you for your work. Your ability to connect to those deep, serious feelings is unparalleled, and we appreciate it.
The most underrated band in 20 years
Holy shit she never ages oh my god she’s f-ing GORGEOUS
She's wearing a pound of makeup and the video is distorted.
@@ivonnatrolue6747Technically that’s not distortion, that’s brightness,exposure and curves, and you can still tell, despite that, that her skin is in very good disposition for her age and retains quite a bit of collagen and plumpness. She’s Asian , makes sense.
Why is this so underrated?? I love this so much
The success of these things is just massively random. In 17 years this will be used on a popular drama some platform is streaming and will sell a billion records.
Spitting off the edge of the world got me here. I’m a new fan and taking time to back track for what I’ve missed. Thank you for sharing with us!
you have 20 years of catching up to do...
@@aleuttrel2260 Spotify is helping!
They're beyond amazingly rare group, they have every type of song you can think of that are meaningful, full of energy. Enjoy
Go to date with the night and maps... magical songs
You'll love 'Y Control' off their 2003 album Fever To Tell. ♥️
Karen O. Is a Goddess ✨💎🎼💗🥰
Their music makes me say… Yeah. Yeah. Yeah! 🌽🤭😊🎧🥰🎼😊
Karen O's voice aging like a fine wine 👌
Her rendition of the Immigrant Song is unbelievably amazing
These artists don’t age!!!!! I’ll drink what they drink. Her voice is so smooth. The band with their music is soothing. ❤
Be careful there.
singer is part asian that could be the reason.
Girl slow down
Thank you for this healing music after all the pain during the pandemic time. This is a breath, this is a hug, this is love. 🥺💕
Yeah Yeah Yeahs always comes through with amazing music.
This song hits so good at dawn while driving solo through the California desert! Thank you for adding to these beautiful moments!
Smooth and wonderful Hauntingly beautiful!!!
i will forever be grateful for having seen their concert in barcelona in 2022. that moment is amongst the most beautiful feelings of my life. karen is queen. is god. is absolutely incredible on stage and in the world. ❤️
Love this comment!
Legends still making hits✌️
where?
This is such an incredibly good recording. All parties involved with it should be proud.
I love Blacktop, thanks for releasing it as a single it's totally beautiful ♥️
You all won me over back in high school with Gold Lion. Over a decade later I am still blown away by your sound. Thank you for sticking around. 🙏🙏🙏
This is music with SOUL…thank you for continuing to grace us with beautiful music ❤️
I luv this woman
I fucking love this album. The quality is unbelievable. It puts me in a great mood.
One of the precious few albums we've heard over the past several years that seems completely unbound from the age and culture it was released within. Radically introspective, scaled-back, and sincere. Feels like a long overdue hug from your weird uncle.
By far my all-time favorite song by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Always makes me teary eyed and think of my one true love 💘
The legend of Karen O and this insanely talented and multifaceted band just grows and grows. 🔥💥♨
Where have you been all my life??? I've discovered you guys only yesterday and I'm in shock. Your work is Art with a capital A. Totally in love with your sound
I will always cherish them
I didn’t really want to cry today, but thank you… that was beautiful.
Just beautiful!!!!!
Back in, well, over a decade ago, your music helped me through rehab (alcohol). Which was unexpected since I had been listening to it preferably when quite drunk. The floating, the boundlessnes, the absence of gravity of being high - I was missing it so much and found it in your sounds and energy. It was dangerous because it reminded me painfully of what I had just lost, if voluntarily (more or less).
But, yeah, you know, I could restore the good feelings without drinking, it was a premonition of what would later become true, reality: that it's possible WITHOUT the booze. Everything I had numbed with the beer and liqour is revived, the good, the bad, the ugly, i.e. life. And you helped. Thank you.
Oh yeah, marvellous song this, by the way... :-D
The samesamesamezzz stay strong buddy
@@creepfairy6852 Thanks mate, you too! :-)
Congratulations on your sobriety!! Some people never make it out so I'm proud of you!
@@LadyLuna1111 Thanks! :-) Over 16 years now. I'm proud, too, but I had amazing people to help, professionals and friends. And God, I presume. I'm lucky and grateful for it.
Thank you for taking the time to say some kind words to a stranger on the internet. It's people like you who make a positive impact on this world. May God bless you, my best wishes!
@@BlackAdder665 Thank you so very much. That really means a lot to me and I'll gladly accept and return those blessings your way.
I'm hoping God will be with me moving forward. I've got a lot of things going on and could definitely use the assistance.
Sending so much love your way, friend!
She’s an angel! I love her !
This whole album is great. I love putting this on and driving.
TY❤️ Karen O and The Yeah yeah yeahs
Ure work transcends time
"Art Star" made me an instant fan of The YYYs and Karen O. Seeing them live in New York made me a devoted fan and made Karen O. an inspiration and solidified her ICON status for me....I was in awe. As an alternative musician myself, you guys have been and remained on the top of my list of favorite bands since day one. Your songs have been a pivotal part of my life: from sadness to grief, heartache to love, power to patience, rage to resilience....and this is another beautiful masterpiece. I've cried singing this each and every time. I am so glad you guys are back. My heart could not be happier. 🖤
What is art star?
@@Olyfrun One of their songs
I had a friend in college who did a rift of art star and called it coin star and THE CAMP OF IT ALL MAWMAW
This song is beautiful ❤️
ARTISTAS ❤
I ADORE this song, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
Los mejores!!!
🖤 Yeah Yeah Yeahs 🖤
Crecí con esta banda, es increible que si dejamos de verlos como artistas y los humanizamos un poco, nos damos cuenta que como nosotros han crecido y su musica con ellos, nos "olvidamos" de los guitarrazos, lo que uno quiere cuando es joven, pasan los años y ahora buscas mas un poco de calma y sanar tu mente.
Es tal cual. A medida que uno crece, quiere un sonido mal alternativo, estable, suave. Y los YYYs lo han hecho. Que bueno madurar junto a esta banda.
igual, no puedo negar que extraño los guitarrazos ;)
Yo estoy muy decepcionado de YYY, desde Mosquito empezaron a dejar de tocar con esa fuerza.
No por crecer significa que ahora todas sus canciones suenan como a la aburrida Skeletons
Love her voice!! Excellent!!❤
I love Karen's voice in this song and I also love the unusual music change In a yeah yeah yeah's song👍👍❤️ This song is as underrated as this band, They are a cult classic ❤❤
She's so beautiful I can't stop crying
Ive been living under a rock or something, how have I never heard this band before ... Amazing
Such great album. What a come back! Amazing !
Yeah Yeah Yeas one of my favorit Bands ❤❤👏👏👏👌🙏
I've had this album on repeat for months. So good.
Amazing artists. So glad I got to see them last year.
Just legends! 🖤
nostalgic but real new!!!
I was touched by your fragile beautiful song!!!
great songwriting!!!
Beautiful voice, characteristic of heavenly
Her bang cuts and leather top tell a lot about garage culture. 💚
I love this song so much
Oh yeah .. thanks. I didn't listen to this album until now. You guys are so special to us still. 🦋🌼❤️ 😭
Listening in Zacatecas mexico, will be back to the states in a few days. Enjoying the countryside listening to this premier after all these years , very special moment indeed
Amazing, love this band now as much as I did when I first heard them. Perfect
Their best album ever
One of my favorites from the new album. 😍
I wish T&S were still making good stuff like YYYs
Great band, great song, great video. Just simply great - and beautiful. Blessings.
I saw them at a festival where they were headlining with White Stripes and was blown away🔥
SO PERFECT 🤩 I love Karen O’s voice
This song belongs in a movie
Una excelente banda.. una bella mujer y una de las mejores voces..y no hablemos del carisma..derrochan talento..los 3
Son los mejores❤️
This band never disappoints! Absolutely beautiful. 🥹🖤
I really love this, it's like a lullaby for adults.
Her performances pulled me in. I cannot believe I am just discovering this band .. so lovely
If only i could play this for my late partner. However, I think he's in the stars and therefore possibly could be hearing this gorgeousness. Thank you for helping to heal my heart. I miss him and that's ok.
Obsessed with the new music! So beautiful ♥️
This song particularly is one of my favorites from this album. Her voice is so pure and the whole vibe of this song really gets to me on a deep level.
“Obsessed “ is the new buzzword
Powerful band bringing back hit after hit! I know Yeah Yeah Yeah.
yes!
I will always love his music ❤️
This song gives me such an 80s vibe.
Beautiful song. I hope one day i can go to a yeah yeah yeahs concert.
Seen them at Glastonbury 09 and again in Manchester 2013
Nothing but class another gem
If Karen's high notes don't put a lump in your throat then you're not human.🤍
Lolololol
Sounds so much like Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders
I never listened or even heard of this band until they got play on SeriesXM around 5 months ago. I'm 66 and I absolutely love their music. So versatile. I want to see in person. Anyone have?
I've seen them twice and will be seeing a third time this Saturday. Karen O. has such raw energy and is such an amazing entertainer!!!
What channel on Sirius?
LONG LIVE THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS !
(3:55) There’s so much to say about not only this song, but this video as well, that i find myself at a lost to appropriately explain its significance to me.
So, for lack of better terms, this song is so fucking cool. I can’t thank y’all enough for giving me my anthem.
wow. just wow
Beautiful. This is a piece of art.
Yeah yeah yeah” love them
Even more *new* Yeah Yeah Yeahs?! ?! I got goose bumps!!!!! I am living for this!!!! And tour dates popping up! I can't even express how thrilled I am
One of my absolute favourite songs of my time.
Gorgeous singing and song.
I didn't expect that to touch my heart so deeply, thankyou beautiful yeah ❤❤👁♥️👁❤❤
LOVE because it conveys emotionality without any phoniness! Reminds me of a line Johnny Rotten said at an awards show "my songs have meaning if yours don't then you can=bleeeep off! lol, great track full of loving energy
I fell in love with this band WAAAYY long time ago! "Maps" was my jam back then and i still love it now. "They don't love you like I love you" 🎵😍
From the first beat drop I was like...😍
Fern Hill, blended right in, incredible
I wonderful surprise to hear lines from that poem, and i went scrolling to see if anyone mentioned it!
Highly recommend seeing YYY live. By miles the best show I’ve ever seen, and that was a day after seeing Foo Fighters/Alanis Morissette back to back.
I would buy a ticket just to see this one song performed live. Times are tough, but I hope to join you on June 5th, 2023.
