I LITERALLY HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT. PEOPLE I FOUND IT. NEVER LEAVING AGAIN.
good for you. 2020 saved the best for last.
SAMEEEEE
Shazam it
sameeee it was so hard finding it since the lyrics are not what they sound like at all
samee. I literally just stumbled on it after listening to ‘Father of the bride’ lol. This song is so good
Me: I'm pretty confident with english
Vampire weekend: Hold my beer
Vampire weekend: Hold my champagne and disco slash San Francisco.
Ezra Koenig was an English teacher at one point, so it makes sense
it's all about religion
Speak for yourself. I’m exceptional in speechcraft.
@@dustinhudson3786 youre not very bright are you? I literally said "Me" at the front of my comment
Schrödinger's song: we never know if it makes us feel sad or happy
SO TRUE
But it does make us FEEL
why not both? 🤔
Almost all the songs in the Modern Vampires album have that vibe
Unbelievers, Worship You, Finger Back, Don't Lie, and this one.
Melancolía (spanish)
Everytime I listen to Vampire Weekend I feel myself like a well-literated, indie, neoclassical modern, college dude.
Holy fuck same! I'm an incoming freshman and i find this kind of song interesting.
I believe that was at some time every member of Vampire Weekend.
Yes, you do...
So you're stepping on Vampire Weekend
Like listening to NPR in the morning (?)
Listening to this at 17 and now 26 almost 27 in an existential crisis, I can’t believe how hard these lyrics hit. If you’re young please savour every moment, even the mundane, the painful , the boring.
Bro…..you’re still very young lol.
Those deep lyrics about wisdom teeth and stepping to your girl really hit you in the feels, huh? Lol 🙄
@@Brendan-Black Have you heard of a little thing called a metaphor?
It's true bro, in every corner in the world.
Listening to this at 17 now im 25
I have no clue what the song is even talking about but it somehow makes me feel happy and sad?? What is this??
i have no idea but i love it😂
Nostalgia? Or melancholy perhaps?
It reminds us of the times that we were worryless and had no issues in life
@@felixpgames9639 basically before 2020, atleast for me
The name's Elaine for me its anything before 2014. When i just had minecraft to worry about and not my school grades and social Status
“Wisdom’s a gift but you’d trade it for youth, age is an honor still not the truth” The moment I heard “Step” back in 2013 it became my favorite song, it gives me the feeling of missing some place I’ve never been... and I love it. Thank you Ezra, for all the feels
This song makes me sad and happy at the same time
This song gives me "growing up" vibes. Like reminiscing of old times but with a look over affronting the future, sad and happy as life itself
me to
Its about growing up so like duh
Vampire Weekend always brings back some pretty crazy nostalgia whenever I listen to them. I'll always love their music, forever.
I know. I have schiso frenia. And synthstesia
@@ashleyharris2767 hm hm
@Caleb I just discovered them:) a new generation who will have their own memories and nostalgia. you are unique, cherish life.
I find it very fitting that I wanted to listen to this album to get some nostalgic feels from my college days with listening to this song with my roommates while we went about life so yes Vampire Weekend definitely is the perfect music for any type of nostalgia
Yea I’m balling to this
Okay: I think I know vaguely what this song is about.
Simply put, it's about the kind of challenges we undergo when we transition to adulthood, and how they change us as a person. The first half of the song is about the speaker's past. He used to live in New York, soak up culture like a sponge (Disco tapes from LA/San Francisco), experiment with abstract ideas (Communist reader), and was relatively wealthy (with Champaign and disco... I was a hoarder).
The rest of the song is about his life currently, which is defined by change, and his new perception of his own future, which is now a lot less experimental and a lot more domestic (I'm ready for the house). The speaker sees himself as tougher (the gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out) for having grown up, but he had to give up freedom of expression and ideas in exchange for practicality to get to where he is now (wisdom's a gift but you trade it for youth).
I think the many references to "stepping to my girl" are metaphors for life's challenges in general. When he says "you always step to me girl" he means "you always challenge me." And the subtext is that by challenging him constantly, life makes him a stronger person, but also forces him to conform. That's why "punks would laugh when they saw us together". They can see that he's been cowed. The speaker thinks the punks are not ready for the challenges of adulthood, so they "don't know how to dress for the weather." Conversely, when "ancestors say their girl was better... she was tougher than leather" he's referring to the way old people talk about the challenges in their life, and how it forced them to grow up, too.
I could go on, but you get the idea. Why does this song make some people sad and some people nostalgic? Well, I would suggest that it's because the song is about growing up; an experience which is itself bittersweet. Why do listeners get "hipster" vibes, when listening to this song? Well, probably because it's sung from the perspective of a hipster from New York who's forced to grow up.
Amazing 👍🏻
...wow. Great interpretation.
Lovely interpretation. I always thought "stepped to my girl" was just proposal, from the perspective of proposer and from the father of the bride (haha) which I still think makes sense, considering the thematic significance of proposal with the rest of the album...turns out it's most likely an extended metaphor for music itself, "girl" and "the music the singer listens to" being totally interchangeable throughout the song. "Ancestors told me that their girl was better"--boomers always complaining about older music being better, all the new stuff is shit; "and maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her / the truth is she doesn't need me to protect her"--defensiveness and protectiveness of the music you love. And then the central "step to my girl" is this elitist anger over your obscure, deeply based tastes in music becoming mainstream--again a kind of protectiveness over it...which ofc works back with the father-of-the-bride reading. Anyway, it obviously means all of these things and none of them, that's what's so great about lyricism this spectacular.
Loved this!
@MikeSaidHeep Sorry for the long reply. This might be the most popular opinion (or idk if ezra has said it) but I love it when the people in the comment section talk about their own interpretation about a particular song, movies, music videos etc. Rather than just believing what others has to say about the meaning of some arts, why not make our brain works a bit finding the meaning behind some weird lyrics. Because that's what a good fan does.
My son show me this song , and now is my favorite
🙌
Wholesome
I like ur son (not in a weird way)
@@crumb2743 ah, thank you for the reassurance
that's a very good son 😩✊❤️❤️
This is the first song I've heard by Vampire Weekend and wow. I'm already in love.
Me too!
same😌
they have better music than most of the this gen artists and i think only better band after these people is the black keys
same 😍
exactly. i knew i couldnt be alone
Vampire Weekend is a band that I hear about a lot. I finally decided to listen to some of their songs a couple of months ago and they were really not my type of music. Now Ive been listening to them a lot lately and they're honestly becoming one of my favorite bands.
i can find two or three songs i like on each of their 3 albums...ive heard

thank you for your story, the public really needed to know this. So inspiring
good
I wrote this song.
Böyle parçalar keşfedince yeni bir ülke keşfetmiş gibi oluyorum
3 yıl olmus yorumunu begendim buraya uğra :)
Delibal'dan geldimm
I don't actually speak your language but thats what some parts of the song sound like to me haha
😅😅
Yes you have discovered America lol
Because they’re American
Would have been quite a sight to see New York back in the day, before there was color.
Timothy Werth hahah
If you actually try and look at the background, you can see quite a lot of Toyotas and Nissan cars. And modern versions taking into account that this song is 7 years old as of today.
@@yellomonky4272 It was a joke.
LordVader1094 i dont think it was. Do you want to know why? He said it ”would have been nice”. And my comment was not there to state that he was wrong. Just to clarify. You are not getting it. Do you know what a joke is? That is not a joke format in any way.
@@yellomonky4272 Would have been nice to go to my backyard, and take a huge shit.
Would have been nice to start a panic in my school, By making the loudest fart noise.
Would have been nice if you actually understood that this is actually a joke format.
This song transporting me in another world, I feel so happy when I heard it
+Natalia Castaño same, there are a lot of songs I really love but l this is the only one that makes me feel that way
Natalia Castaño I have the opposite effect, I don't know why it's making me so sad
Viviana Jimenez Marrero is a mistery still hahah
💚
I would love to see it
I heard this song last year around November before I went to this highschool football game to see this girl I've had a crush on since 6th grade (I'm in 8th now) but I never had the balls to talk to her but my friend told me that she thought I was cute So I thought I had a chance with her. While I was with her that night, this song played in my head and helped me say the sweetest things to her and she would make the most adorable smile ever. We got each other's number and texted for a while and I got her into Vampire Weekend which was awesome. But sadly, her and I stopped talking for no reason. Last thing I remember texting her was "Happy Thanksgiving" and that was it. Whenever I hear this song I automatically think of her and the cold weather of that night, people cheering for the football, drinking hot coffee while wearing pea coats with scarfs and hearing my friends cheering me on while I talked to her. Good memories Vampire Weekend brings but this song brings the most :')
What u waiting for? TEXT HER NOW
Diego Gonzalez True love man
Diego Gonzalez It's none of my business, but from my point of view, it looks like you need to talk to her. Again. And this time either keep her, or dare to find out for sure if there's some reason why you can't. Life is short. Do what you can.
Diego Gonzalez get rekt noob
What a cute story...
this has been my favorite song for quite some time now. i don't think any other artists can convey so much feeling and range of emotion as vampire weekend.
Say, Linner Joy?
DamianHD Um, what?
+Lindsay Joyner LINNER JOY!!
Iylsa Smyth LINNER JOY
Like Ain't Strange - Dr. Dog, or Telescope - Cage the Elephant, or Sprawl ii - Arcade Fire, or Beneath the rose - Micah P. Hinson, or... etc :) I think the same (Step - Vampire Weekend).
At first when I listened to this I was like "yeah this is good, sure." But now im like "what are these weird emotions I'm feeling" as I'm nearing the end of the song
I think I'm in love with this band, this song specifically... it's just so beautiful :')
+Alex Masterton gay
VePeNqTion_ - So original -_-
RUDE
Claire Parsons Doherty ?
JayPao gay
It's weird but vampire weekend songs make me cry and I don't know why... It's not because I get sad or it makes me remember something that would make me cry, weird
wow.. same here. I cant explain it, theres just something powerful about the song... the melody, everything. will be my one of my favs of all time
Same thing going on here. Everytime when I listen to this song, I will think of me and my mom riding on a plane going back to Korea , cuz me and my mom lives separately ::)
Liz M Don't Lie, Hannah Hunt, Step and Obvious Bicycle etc. right?
Oh god, I thought I was the only one :')
Liz M its called feeling feels
Filyasyon nöbet bitimi gece eve dönerken radyoda çalan bu şarkı ne de güzelsin... içimi hem acıttın hem de iyi geldin... yıllar sonra bu şarkıyı dinlediğimde bu yoruma bakıp hatırlamak istiyorum bu günleri... (kendime not: lütfen iyi ve mutlu ol) geleceğimiz bugünlerden daha güzel olur inşallah....
geleceğin nasıl :)
Aga gelde yakma simdi
Yaktım bi dal okuyorum söylediklerini
Yaa umarım iyi ve mutlu olursun😊😇🥰💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Umarım geleceğin istediğin şekilde devam eder lütfen iyi ve mutlu ol
When this came out, I was 23 and finishing grad school. The world was my oyster, I had a wonderful girlfriend, so much optimism for the future. And then: so much loss in the time since. So much.
This one really takes me back, for better or worse.
Dude, I can’t stand some albums because I loved them when I was super happy. All my friends died from fentanyl, my mom died from myocarditis after she was forced to take the “cure”, I got laid off because I wouldn’t take it, I e been looking for a job since. Have to be out of my place in July, don’t have money to get a new spot, I had to sell my moms house to pay her hospital bills because she turned 65 in the hospital was too sick to sign up for Medicare and was dropped from her insurance. Im so lonely I don’t know what to do. My dog is is getting really old. On the plus side, I’m sober and have been for over a decade. I used to drink a lot.
@@smelltheglove2038 hey stranger. i can relate to some of those struggles. if you ever need another human to talk to, message me. wishing you the best
@@smelltheglove2038Keep going mate, times will get better someday.. good luck..
I really hate the fact that I love this song so much because it's freaking perfect and I want to listen to it all time, thus I don't want to get sick of it any time soon…
The first two Vampire Weekend albums came out while I was in college and my friends and I listened to them essentially everyday. I graduated in 2012, moved to New York, and then this album was released. I remember thinking how different it sounded from the first two albums and how it doesn't make me think of college, instead just makes me think of the city and living here. This song particularly was a beacon of this huge move/change/step in my life. This video took me by complete surprise.. and makes such beautiful, perfect sense that it's like someone knows my brain.
noone cares
I feel you Mickey. I care.
this song makes me so happy-sad. I think melancholic nostalgia is the feeling.
[Intro]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
[Verse 1]
Back, back, way back I used to front like Angkor Wat
Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
While home in New York was champagne and disco
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader
Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman
I was a hoarder, but girl, that was back then
[Chorus]
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
[Refrain]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
[Verse 2]
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather
I just ignore all the tales of her past life
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
Well, they didn't know how to dress for the weather
I can still see them there, huddled on Astor
Snow falling slow to the sound of the master
[Chorus]
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
[Bridge]
Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth
Age is an honor, it's still not the truth
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
We know the true death, the true way of all flesh
Everyone's dying, but girl, you're not old yet
[Chorus]
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
[Outro]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
ah, this is helpful😂
@Frigo Pie its easier to read in the comments imo lmao
this song makes me want to sit in a coffee shop in some hipster town and stare out the window.........
+Meh exactly
+Meh go to seattle lol or portland ether way
Your comment is shit, +Meh
+Meh :)
+Meh In buffalo now, totally miss that little coffee shop I first heard this song!! love your comment.
I'm glad to hear modest mouse is still relevant as a band
Not sure exactly why but "such a modest mouse" is my favorite line here. It makes me smile every time.
I also just played this song as the first thing after getting my wisdom teeth out. It was perfect.
I like wat u on about.
If you remember you posted this comment two years later I think modest mouse is a band
Modest mouse is a band thats been around longer than this song for sure.
Sloth Monarch much much much longer than this song, and vampire weekend itself.
oh yeah?
My heart softens every time I listen to this song...
These are all postcards with random words written all over them.
I like it..
I like it to
Agnes Lejrin :)
we like too

becky Debberow :)
Positie vibes, positive vibes :)
Modest Mouse should put "Such a vampire weekend" in lyrics
😂 I had that exact thought!
This would probably make me laugh so hard and never ever let it go.
agreed.
yes!!!😂 this heads to happen!
Believe it or not, Modest Mouse wanted to return the favor, but what they came up with ended up in the bin.
this song is ghosts reaching through a silk curtain, brushing my cheek as i fall asleep, bathed in starlight. that's what this song is.
This is the best-ever Vampire Weekend song. Prove me wrong.
"ANCESTORS TOLD ME THAT THEIR GIRLS WERE BETTER. SHE'S RICHER THAN CROESUS; SHE'S TOUGHER THAN LEATHER. I JUST IGNORED ALL THE TALES OF HER PAST LIFE; STALE CONVERSATION DESERVES BUT A BREADKNIFE."
This will forever and always be one of my favorites.
I am in love with this song! Highly recommend it to EVERYONE
I listened to it on autoreplay all day today. lol
I dunno. i do that too...drives the dearly beloved crazy hahaha
In an alternate universe where auto-generated captions are the actual lyrics:
Haha yeah, this one reminds me of The National's songwriting. Legitimatelly really good lyrics tho
But then the lyrics sung will be the auto generated captions! Careful what you wish for
@1betterthanyou1 I wouldn't say it's literally a cover because that would imply it had the same lyrics and song structure. It just has elements of the souls of mischief song.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
😂and that's why the closed caption for the song is unavailable
Delibaldan bu yana en sevdiğimsin be şarkı 💓
Ah ne filmdi 🍀💙
0:00 what's vampire weekend?
4:11 i am now a fan.
I used to listen to this song 5 years ago late at night and just cry. Cry about my little highschool problems like bullies.
"I'm stronger now...
...I can't do it alone"
me too
i am too late but same
Hey, i hope you're more stronger now despite of the pandemic. Merry Christmas! 😃

Excinic
Haha my bad!
I've been listening to this song since I was 17. I remember listening to the beginning part when he starts naming random cities in the bay area and them being meaningless to me. I'm now 26, I just moved out of the bay area after living in Alameda for 3 years, with so many pleasant memories in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. I recently heard this song again as I was moving and it feels like this song was placed in my life by whatever higher power to foreshadow what the future had in store. I was struggling with depression back then and I'm so glad I got to this point in my life. I have everything I could ever want, truly blessed. I don't know what vampire weekend ment by these lyrics but they mean a lot to me now
The most beatiful comment I have ever seen today❤
wisdom's a gift
but you'd trade it for youth
age is an honor
it's still not the truth
omg i read this as he said it.. 3 years late but still hey u got a reply
melancholy molly favorite song line of all time.
2:40
Those lines break my heart every single time
Maaan time sure freaking flies!
I remember being 13-14 listening to this when it was out, feeling so cool.
22 now, going through my old youtube account music playlist
Life is good, could be better but good overall.
Love and health to everyone.
I could totally relate to your story, though I didn't gather a playlist when I was in school. I was always using friends' playlist. so can you share yours to me? :D
Feeling so cool? You are cool. 😎
I'm 13 rn and I like listening to this song
This isn't my acc tho
i was also 13 going on 14 as well... now at 24 this has NOT at all aged
O kadar güzelsin ki!!! O kadar içime işliyor ki
Still one of the most beautiful pieces of that era, but will. never be recognized as such. Brilliant!
This song is perfect in so many ways. I keep going back to this album...to this song more than any other. It’s just a perfect thing. Hannah Hunt follows a close second. Thank you, Ezra and co.
I've literally been looking for this song for five years I could only remember the faintest melody
damn, ive been looking for The Vamps - wake up for 4 years
i heard this first when i was a kid in a random neighborhood (people in my cauntry does not care if they just play music randomly) i felt so good hearing it... after that i kinda forget it until i saw this video where a animatoe with

Yıl 2014 senin telefonunda bu şarkıyı dinledim ve dedim ki bu bizim şarkımız olsun. Önce Sana sonra şarkıya aşık oldum. Sen 5 sene sonra başka bir hayat tercih ettin ben ise o geçen 5 yılın içinde kayboldum... belki görürsün. Her yerden engelledim seni. Üzerime bıraktığın enkaz, duygusal bir intihar biçimiydi benim için . Bir gün seninde o enkazın altında kalman dileğiyle...
Aga be yaktım
Can kardesim sen bari o duyguyu tatin yani sevdigin insanla beraber oldun olamayan da var ama gene uzuldum kardes senin icin🚬
Biz de eski sevgilimle dinlerdik beni aldattı 10 ay önce ayrıldık bir an aklıma geldi ve şarkıyı açtım. Sizi çok iyi anlıyorum.
Üzdün
üzdün be kral
I googled the meaning of this song and it was very interesting. The whole meaning or outcome of th song is about ezra's music. The ' girl ' is actually the music. " I'm stronger now I'm ready for the house " before when ezra's music was being criticized as terrible music he wasnt ready for that type of review you know. But now he's ready and he knows his music won't be liked by many peope but that doesn't bother him anymore. " when I see you in the world I see you step to my girl " here he's talking about how he sees fans of his music or those critics singing and dancing to his songs. I don't know what you guys think but you should definitely google it :)
I understand "mine was entombed within boom box and Walkman" now thanks
your welcome
This is the kind of song that reminds us that our time on earth is finite.
"We saw the stars when they hid from the world/You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl."
I always thought that was a very beautiful little couplet.
my favorite song at the moment
this song makes me think of everything a could have done and didn't. i know that it doesn't talk about that but is something with the music that make me feel that way
yeah the song is kinda nostalgic and reflective, makes me feel the same way
Waaaaaay ahead of it’s time.
The searching for meaning… the breaking in every conceivable way of incorporating pre-existing rhythm like the millennial whoop. And absolutely lost in life, no attaching oneself to a grand narrative will change it.
Song immediately takes me back to living in Brooklyn and when this album came out in 2013. Feels like a time machine
bu şarkıyı her dinlediğimde tüylerim diken diken oluyor
This song is sooo powerful it makes me so comforted and lonely at the same time the beat is great and it really is a masterpiece.If I had to choose a song to listen for the rest of my life I would chosen this song 100% i
Bu şarkı muhteşem bişey ve ben bunu kelimelerle anlatamıycak kadar gûzel bişey ve bu beni çok etkiledi
Still my favorite Vampire Weekend song. Always makes me feel so good. A little bit sad, but in a good way
This has the nicest chorus ive ever heard. wow
I don't want the remember the time that i've listened to this song but i fucking love this song, god.

I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth
Age is an honor, it's still not the truth
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
We know the true death, the true way of all flesh
Everyone's dying, but girl you're not old yet
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse,
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
[x2]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl

You know that this is a lyric video right
Thanks, we all needed that, it's not like the lyrics are on the screen or anything
Love your profile picture
Back back, way back, I used to fret that my honey
Would play me for one with more pap(er)s, still it was funny
'Cause she paid no mind as jerks lurked constantly
And my insecurity turned into maturity (I matured)
As the years pass I find it hard to be monogamous
So do other brothers, ? and (?)? still synonymous
Catch crazy glance when I'm with female company
Some think I'm a softie and they step to her in front of me
So in public places I am often found in my trunk
Reaching for bats, and smack goes his spunk
Because I have the right to riff, and in spite
Of a few protests, progress and I might smite you
Once you come, your fronts, they got no future
Blunts blur my sight, get left and right suture
I know this, and also notice advances:
I peeped them pap(er)s in which he slipped to my dip
With numerals, and you're soon to roast thinking I'm jelly
'Cause numbers left in the gutter lead to lonely tellies (telephones)
(God damn, why won't she call?)
'Cause we see who's pee-wee and we see who's me
The difference is Vaseline: You're slipping while I'm skin-dipping
Grips, and grips of chumps my way:
Slumped from back-bumps on rumps, 'cause I flay
So why play, 'cause Tajai has to flip
I found mine, so find your own companionship
Every time I see you in the world
You always step my girl
But ask yourself homeboy - Why is that?
Brothers get jealous when I'm chilling with my dip
Just because she's flyer, you try to, play me like Milton Bradley
I'm mad, G, just because you've gotta settle for Maggie
Or Agnes, maybe Mathilda the Witch, yo
I'mma have to beat you if you call her a bitch, yo
Keep your mind off what's mine for the keeping (yup)
Or I'll put a bomb in your house while you're sleeping (boom!)
Keep your distance, Hiero is watching you
Step by step, I never slept, I gots to do lots
'Cause you brothers never respect who you should (me)
Try to be my friend, and it might do you good (yeah)
Get down with the program, hey yo man yo
Don't even look at my girl on a slow jam
Of course not, you'll never get that close (nah)
To her soft skin, rest in a coffin
If you ever disrespect, I'll twist your neck
If I've got a bat, I might get pissed and flex (boom)
'Cause your tramp ain't got a stamp of approval
When I get mine with this rhyme, your crew will
Have to learn the hard way, I'll have to slam you like Hammer
So I bet you'll all break
Even though his song is wack, mine's not
Your girl will never get the props that mine got
I'm the brother stepping with the flyer female companion
Others be scheming or scamming, dreaming, planning, plotting
Trying to make moves when I'm not in the vicinity
I'll fill that ass with splinters, see
Pull a wood bat, would that change your disposition?
Wishing you was in my position, kissing and hugging on a goddess
But I stay humble and modest
Brothers want to rumble, but they stumble and fumble
'Cause they get pummelled by the mischievous
You might catch a whiff of this sneaker
Seek the company of my sweet senorita?
Swing a bat like _The Natural_, break your clavicle
Fracture femurs, as you scream I'm overcome with laughter
I'm the champion, my man slaps me ten
'Cause he's twice as nice, twice the jealousy
'Cause fellas see they don't suffice
Opio Lindsey spins the spinal cords
Of the hordes of the Huckleberry Finns
My knuckles are buried in chins
'Cause it offends when you're stepping
Adrenalin is pumping, I thump chumps with my weapon
Moments of tranquility abruptly have to cease
Walking hand in hand, when one feels he has to speak his piece
Should I pull a piece and unleash a couple of bullets?
Would it persuade a brother to turn his head and foot it
In the opposite direction, throat sets in his chin
Recognized that I fooled him
Everytime she sees you
She could just take off
And you could just let off steam by screaming
Bana kendimi aşırı iyi hissettiriyosun be şarkı ♥️ Asla bıkmıyorum 🤤🖤
When I hear this song I feel like I’m in the afterlife, happy, in another dimension watching my good memories and this song playing in the background with a little echo in it
right, my fathers favourite song, nostalgic memories of him.
This song always feel warm and Christmasy
Every song of this group makes me so happy... I fee like they are lying beside me singing casually while I sleep in a sunny sunday afternoon. Thats. The. EXACT. FEELING.
DELİBAL.. İYİ Kİ VARSIN
Maybe she's gone, and i cant resurrect her
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
thank you Vampire weekend I have had a bad week, I got my heart broken by the woman i loved and this song really helps :)
happens to all of us. Know the feeling. Keep your head up, Good luck
I think "girl" in this song referencing music itself. Not women. But music is art and take it however you like. I'm sorry to hear about that, women can be bitches.
Back, back, way back
I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
While home in New York was champagne and disco
Tapes from LA&San Francisco
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader
Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman
I was a hoarder but girl, that was back then
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather
I just ignored all the tales of a past life
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather
I can still see them there huddled on Astor
Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master
This is beautiful !
this song is just so refreshing, vampire weekend gives off a relaxing vibe i can't get over.
Souls of Mischief brought me here, being an old school hip hop head. But also being a fan of alternative music, how am i only discovering this song now? This is so good 😊
When I heard this song, with my higher ear 6 years ago, I knew there is something, something you only question during an awakening. As if with ‘wisdom teeth are out’ you understand, you know and have that awe and questioning mind combined, when it scares you but you persist. Vampire Weekend is genius, Ezra Koenig, the band in its totality, artists… and when you get genius who have portrayed their truth with metaphor, when you disentangle and deconstruct, when this message and idea reaches you, you can applaud. Because whether this creates sadness or happy feeling, or any in between, you are a recipient of someone else’s complex and genius view and experience translated in 5 minutes, transmitted via voice and words; you are ready! Ready to comprehend, or apply to your own state of consciousness, evolution and find it personal in the end! Sometime this kind of aliveness in arts is precursor for that true self awakening!
This night is devoted to Vampire Weekend, and that complex relationship both vertical and horizontal, with I am. Thanks
This gives me some type of feeling like damn
I know! What am I feeling?!
I love it and hate it.

Now I need a Modest Mouse song to mention Vampire Weekend
being 21 years old now remembering all the nights 12 yo me spent listening to this masterpiece. oh i'm sick of nostalgia
Seems like yesterday when this came out wow how times have changed but the music and its memories last forever time to take the gloves off .
it still makes me feel warm inside one of the litte things that still do
Delibal'dan öncede şarkıyı bilip, hatta filmi izlerken sallana sallana ezbere söylemekte ayrı keyif dostlar..

Delibal brought me here.This song is beautiful 😍🙏🏽🙈

This song is my all time favorite. When I was a child I thought love was like this song and dreamed of that kind of love. I used to save it for someone or something special and I have never shared this feeling or this song with anyone. when I grew up i almost gave up on this idea of love, but then he appeared out of nowhere and made me believe again. He was the first person I shared this song with. I felt the kind of love I always wanted. now he is no longer with me but I will forever be grateful for that great feeling and for making my childhood dream come true.
Know that life is full of disappointments but there are things that make it beautiful, like love
This is one of my favorite songs by vampire weekend
so calm and positive energy :))!
This is such a different song than I've ever heard I LOVE IT SO MUCH I listen to it every night before I fall asleep
Wana know a cool fact about this track? It’s an ode to a track by Souls of Mischief called Step to my girl (which they also say in this song) and also reference Oakland which is where Souls is from. The tempo of the way they sing is the the pace of the beats harmony in the original track. Along with similar harmonic references it’s a subject that pays tribute to a classic hip hop track.
As a music nerd/ fan/ and engineer you know how gaddam pleasing this is ? It poetic beauty and fine wine 👌🏼
thx
This song reminds me of my late grandmother, I was never close to her at all, but I feel her presence. I don't know, like a nurturing feeling of her memory when I listen to this.
Almost died listening to this song, shit gives me chills every time. Truck was in front of us on the highway pulling a small trailer that looked to be empty, very windy day...trailer was swerving all over the place. Finally the wind tipped the trailer causing the truck to be spin around doing a 180 going 70mph. Missed the truck head on by no less than a foot. Life is short. Live in the moment. Enjoy it.
5 years after high school and this song still slaps ngl
Real shit
I've been listening to these guys since as long as I can remember. They're still one of my favorite bands. And they're underated for all this good music.
I’ve discovered this song in September 2013 and it is still a pure bliss when I listen to it…a comfort song ❤️
Agree
i just take multiple pictures with my Polaroid while listening to this because, I don't know man, it feels good.
so does crack
Delibal ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just started guitar, and this is the first song I kinda learned. I just played to the rhythm.
Perfect song for the rainy days❤
