That little girl is probably way too young to realize but she just walked into a room of greatness. One day she will realize just how epic it was to be in the presence of two great songwriters. The piano chords in this song are very haunting but in a good way that sends shivers up the spine. Very good lyrics as well. Nice to know there's still real talent left in the music business. Thanks James and Brian!
I was thinking the same thing! I was actually disappointed after hearing the album version. This acoustic version's really good. Very rarely I think acoustic versions sound better than album ones, but here is one of the few exceptions :) These guys are excellent live.
What did the storm wash away Are you bailing out, out of the plans we've already made It won't bother me now, and you know I'll be okay You gotta lead your life, but you're not sure you know the way Well, you want to walk in white, You wanna sin but you're too shy So the candle just keeps burning down on you [Chorus:] My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight But I don't need anything from you Down on the Bowery, the changing lights And I'll still be waiting here for you I saw that look on your face You don't need me now, and sometimes you wonder if it's all Just another mistake, and why can't you just walk away? You gotta measure the cost, what've you gained, what have you lost But I often wonder why, You wanna win but you won't fight So the candle just keeps burning down on you [Chorus 2x]
He said "You want to win but you're too shy" instead of "You want to sin but you're too shy". He was probably mixing it up with "You want to win but you won't fight". Danger Mouse even noted at the beginning of the video that he was having trouble remembering lyrics from writing so many songs lol.
How can anyone dislike this video?! Unless they didn't have the patience to get through the 1st minute of the video. Great rendition of this song and amazing candid reactions at the end! :D

He sounded a little pitchy at parts (probably because this is the first live performance of the song), but the song itself sounds amazing. The song itself sounds really hard to sing live, so that could be it too. Didn't think anything would top After the Disco, but I was wrong. Can't wait for the full album release :)
this is good, very nice... but this is not greatness. And i dont mean the live performaces, i mean the song... but... dont jump on my throat, this is really good.. but the bar has been set too high by the greats before them.

I would freak out if I walked into a music store and saw Broken Bells playing live.

they did a number of cuts in front of kids
Some of the best artists in the 21st century. Absolute love!!
I still come back here again and again ❤️
This, in my opinion, is better than the album version. They definitely should make an Acoustic EP!

Wow, that little girl was mesmerized and so was I! Love the song.
I am the same way still with their music and always will be.
I love how the child is instantly drawn to the music! The chord progression on the piano gives me chills! Fantastic song and album!
Stellar moment in time.
Those people walked in, especially that little girl, now know the power of live music and Broken Bells.
This is better than the album version. Dunno why, but it's beautiful.
I'd say the piano is the reason why.
First take as Dangermouse says
he's still waiting for you
Wonderful, best version
Love the behind-the-scenes vibe. Great song, amazing audio as usual!
What did the storm wash away
Are you bailing out, out of the plans we've already made
It won't bother me now, and you know I'll be okay
You gotta lead your life, but you're not sure you know the way
Well, you want to walk in white,
You wanna sin but you're too shy
So the candle just keeps burning down on you
[Chorus:]
My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight
But I don't need anything from you
Down on the Bowery, the changing lights
And I'll still be waiting here for you
I saw that look on your face
You don't need me now, and sometimes you wonder if it's all
Just another mistake, and why can't you just walk away?
You gotta measure the cost, what've you gained, what have you lost
But I often wonder why,
You wanna win but you won't fight
So the candle just keeps burning down on you
[Chorus 2x]
Broken Bells' new album was the best news in a music world for me in 2013.
Love how you guys were just like, "lets just go and do it on the first take! Our first go is always good." LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing!
I've come back to this video at least once a month since I've first watched it a year ago. Such beautiful song and sound
I can't stop coming back to this video.
He said "You want to win but you're too shy" instead of "You want to sin but you're too shy". He was probably mixing it up with "You want to win but you won't fight".

Looove these guys. Can't wait to check out their live show in Minneapolis on the 28th! I've never seen them live before
so damn good! best album 2014 will see!!!!!
Magical. I still come here for inspiration.
Estoy seguro que Broken Bells nos dará uno de los mejores discos de este año.
Oh man I love this channel! Awesome to see Broken Bells on here!
Can't wait for the album, going to be amazing!
Is there an instrument DM can't play? Like a modern Lennon and McCartney. They do it all. JM kills it live as always.
I love stripped down Broken Bells!
oh jeez make another album already. we love you two.
Oh hey new comment
James Mercer is a monster
hell yes he is
This is sooo incredible, I would love to see them live..
amazing song
I just watched this three times in a row.
this is so great. glad these two are back. I think I may like After the Disco better than their first album
I'm with you there. My favorite song Mercer made was sea legs before I heard perfect world, then now this rendition of this song is fantastic
this gets me even more excited for their new album-- after the disco-- which is out on 2/4!
Cool. Thanks La Blogothèque.
I'm so excited for this album. 2/4 will be a musically monumental day.
Best version of this song
Man, I wish they added this version to the album (or at least offered a deluxe that included it).
Terracotta pie
So good! It's like sex in the mouth!
I really love his high notes!
Great song can't wait for album
Love this band!
I am speechless.
Oh this band
I've loved the videos from this channel since you shot with Mercer and the Shins wayy back in like 2007.
It's like Danger Mouse can play drums on the piano. Woah man
Great Music!
I almost like these live raw Versions of the songs better than listening to the CD.
esencja!!! pięęęknie...
Can't listen to this song enough... I fucking love Broken Bells!
Лучшая группа !
just great
Mercer, you wizard....
Maybe the best of the album..
Vive la France !
J'aime l'Espagne!
Thought this needs a little more love one
this album is going to be amazing! the beginning of this song sounds sort of like Mongrel Heart... :)
wow just wow.
What did the storm wash away
Are you bailing out, out of the plans we've already made

You gotta lead your life, but you're not sure you know the way
Well you want to walk in white, you wanna sin but you're too shy
So the candle just keeps burning down on you
My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight
And I don't need anything from you
Down on the bowery, the changing lights
And I'll still be waiting here for you
I saw that look on your face
You don't need me now, and sometimes you wonder if it's off
Just another mistake, and why don’t you just walk away
You gotta measure the cost, what do you gain, what have you lost
Well I often wonder why, you wanna win but you won't fight
So the candle just keeps burning down on you
My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight
But I don't need anything from you
Down on the bowery, the changing lights
And I'll still be waiting here for you
My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight
But I don't need anything from you
Down on the bowery, the changing lights
And I'll still be waiting here for you
perfect!
These are sad times
Prime BB . the best broads of bands
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 amo essa banda
why were clors your video which is name "changing lights"?
Good gawd 🤘🏽😘
I'll still be waiting here for you
Nice
Essa versão mais acústica me tocou mais do que a original
jesus christ!! i fuckin' love these dudes..
GREAT.
it could use some danger mouse's bass though
ahhhhhhhhhh
I love this. The album version is so overproduced in comparison with all the beeps and noises and distracts from the beauty of the melody and lyrics.
#Magic
I must say this is fucking epic
He sounded a little pitchy at parts (probably because this is the first live performance of the song), but the song itself sounds amazing. The song itself sounds really hard to sing live, so that could be it too. Didn't think anything would top After the Disco, but I was wrong. Can't wait for the full album release :)
Kind of ironic, but I disagree with my own comment now. After hearing the real song, I actually think this acoustic version's better.
sdw4527 I was just about to attack you because of that first comment. hahaha
I didn't know Vsauce with hair was such a good singer
So the candle just keeps burning down on you.
dat camera man do
One person dislike the video O.o
This is more like it! The first two singles off Disco are pretty weak. I'm not counting on a great follow up record.
кто от Мэлувидя ?
Great video! If you get a moment you should check out one of ours! Hope you enjoy it!
this is good, very nice... but this is not greatness. And i dont mean the live performaces, i mean the song... but... dont jump on my throat, this is really good.. but the bar has been set too high by the greats before them.
