This guy is a genuine poet, their lyrics are such a rich blend of keen insights, always the tension between the good and bad in a world that is continually baffling.
I know the feeling, man. I remember listening to songs like Oxford Comma and A-punk when I was just an 11 year old in 2008. This band has definitely grown and evolved with me
I've always been more of a casual VW listener until recently, so apologies to the real fans if this is basic VW lore! The crunchy Italian opera-style Rs (and potentially Ezra's diction while singing in general) have been keeping me awake lately! Has he ever talked about it? I would greatly appreciate if anyone pointed me to a source if he has. Cheers!
Took my kids to see them Friday night in SLC at Kilby Block Party festival and caught ‘the first evening performance of this song’. Beautiful, classic tune here. They are great live. Closest thing to seeing the Talking Heads live in 1984 that you can see now. New album is a wonderful work of art. Give it a listen if you haven’t yet.
I tried dedicating this song to someone quite publicly on X, in order to try and cheer him up especially after his kingdom came crashing down. I’m not sure if he got that, 🤔😁
I'm a Capricorn and the song is lovely but what's with "capicone, the year that you were bone" ? The guy's from NY/NJ. Same as me. No one says words like that. Sounds like a speech impediment, which hurts my ear a bit every time he does it. lol.
Ezra's voice is so unique and sounds exactly like the record.
couldn't agree with you more
They replicated the reverb on the record beautifully
Don’t know if you already know Amber Coffman the backing singer. Bc she’s another such unique voice that way too underrated.
She’s incredible
Great voice a liitle bit like a young Donavan luv this song so ethereal....
Ezra Koenig is perhaps the finest melodist of his generation
I've never heard a lyric more comforting than "you don't have to try"
There's nothing to do but BE
Listen to the song Be Still by The Killers.
So damn true. Its beautiful. The whole song is ❤😊
@DammitCrispin another awesome song regularly played in my house ❤😊
@@andreacurtis5993 Same I play the song too much haha love the Killers and Vampire Weekend. They're great jogging music too
The three violin parts almost sounded like different instruments. Beautiful.
Man, that is some serious soundstage engineering, sound is so crisp and compressed. I love this stripped down version of Capricorn.
Sounds so clean and tight. Fantastic. 😊
That violin is beautiful. Really makes this song.
Self titled vibes were strong in this one ❣️
This guy is a genuine poet, their lyrics are such a rich blend of keen insights, always the tension between the good and bad in a world that is continually baffling.
He is the current poet of rock/pop music, much like Simon and Garfunkel were of the 1960s.
I feel that's because Ezra is a smart dude and does often pull from the bible as far as concepts go. Especially the last 2 albums.
@@DammitCrispin
Interesting, I thought of it that way.
This is THE song I want to be played at my funeral
Totally agree. This and no other 😊
How old are you. Just for some idea when
Violinist snapped on that solo 😮
The violinist brought me back to life 🤍 i cant believe my fav band is in their 40’s now 🥹

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

pretty good session, but I do think ezra lifting baio via forklift would add to the energy of the live performance
Mexican TC chapter checkin in
This album has me listening to Vamp again like I used to
Well…that was dope. And for those who haven’t heard the whole album, it’s a banger. Could be my fav.
Very possibly the best vw album
It’s soaring in my rankings with every listen
Beautiful song and a beautiful live performance. Vampire Weekend never disappoints
I am so glad Amber is back, she was like the real star of the Dirty Projectors
This album gets better and better the more you listen to it, incredible.
right?? incredible album!!! i wish more people would be talking about it
So good to see Amber again ❤
my boy always had them crunchy R’s

Id like to think that it was performing Moon Song with Karen O on the Oscars that made Ezra realize his voice harmonize well with a female voice! 😅
That violin solo was sick
Woah I was not expecting to see Amber Coffman joining Vampire!
likely as a session or touring member.
Sounds like when rostam was in band with the classical
thats exactly what i thought. feels like Brynn from the first album
Oh my God! I'm loving this version!!!!
Can't get better than this
wow i had the goosebumps, i think i've dissociated listening to this version. absolutely love it
that tambourine tho
please, this should be on Spotify!
Wow this is delicious...great version.
This album is so good
Masterpiece
What a song. What an album.

Pretty song.
This is amazing and so comforting! ❤

great look for baio here
How does she reach that high note?? Unbelievable
La concentrazione Musicale del Musicista col tamburello... eccezionale. Bravissimi TUTTI!
Wow so beautiful!!
Absolutely magical. 😊
Baio looking so fresh.
To old for dying young, to young to live alone
Such a great line, right?
Beautiful track, and amazing record.
OK. That was awesome
John Lennon vibes
This new album is so great
That violin solo sent my heart flying
Nice version live. Love the call back to Diane Young.
The drums make all the difference
I’m a little less embarrassed by my Capricorn tattoo I got at 18. Thanks vamps.
Amazing
Is the female vocalist from Dirty Projectors?
yes! Amber Coffman
damn great of you to catch that!
Living in the moment
But before you know it
You’ll be looking to the past
❤this song very much
what a lovely stripped down version
I wonder if this is what the tour lineup will look like. Definitely gonna miss the FotB band
Wonderful
La grace❤❤
cool
Wow!
Who’s the violinist? That guy plays the steel guitar on “Classical”😂❤
Ray Suen, such a great add for this tour!
❤❤❤❤
This performance bout to blow up
Was the violinist previously in Mariachi El Bronx?
Is he singing in an Italian accent? It's fantastic!
Wait what, is this Amber Coffman?!?
😭😭 i lost a capricorn recently and i just cant even...
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is that Amber Coffman?
에즈라 목소리 극락 간다
Listen clearly you don't av to try :p
:v
I like how he's looking weird.
Who is the girl?
Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors
@@brandonmaldonado7460 thanks! 🎸
Yoko Ono
Too old for Dying Young/Diane Young. Did anyone catch that play on words?

1:32 😂😂😂😂
Stripped
2:25 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This song is so comical I can't
Comical, how?
That part is intentional😂
0:39 The year that you were bone 😂😂😂
Great band, but I wish he would give up his faux english accent.
but its so fancy
peter gabriel too
Still a solid band but they need to get Rostam back badly.
@@classicbambi I did... to Rostam's killer solo work but I still like to listen to VW too.
With all due respect to him, they’re way more interesting than when they were with Rostam :)
Auto tuned shit
They're live, genius.
@@jc2604 do you think its impossible to autotune your vocal in live perfomance? Man, people are dumb.
