Broken Bells - The High Road

[haydene59]

Heard this in a bar a long way from nowhere In BC Canada. Never been more chilled. Where are they from.

[ballinoutgunithehe]

Is this from like an ad or something? i recognize it soo muchh...

[SchmoovySchmoovy]

Perrrrfect !!!! Intro, Choice of Instruments, Lyrics, Timing, Inflection, Finale, Perfect... Simply very very good. Thank you Broken Bells.

[jackrabbitslim26]

i'm not the biggest fan of their other songs, bur damn, this song is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[dannycantrap1]

@45gamehead im on the same fucking boat dude haha

[immanomnomnom]

one of those songs that brings back way too many memories for my own good. still a tune

[Lil285]

its almost like i was climbing the ladder towards a higher me, but the past caught up and grabbed my foot and is trying to pull me back down. thats my friend and i feel i need too be loyal. i just dont want this getting in the way of the road ive seen ahead and knocking me off track. its hard cuz i dont know anyone down here & my issues with friends back where i was have caused me to block people out so i learned not to trust anyone but myself bcuz of that. sorry strangers for posting my life.

[Lil285]

to @slipknot666415 and the rest of yall.. I was lucky enough to escape from the grips of the city into the country & while there are still vices i've grown alot since ive been out here. back where i was my 'friends' werent all that good for me i feel.. i was miserable and going down, down. there was no one around who understood and could help me.. since i moved out here ive had a chance @ finding myself and come very close.. tonight my old friend calls and lets me know of some troubles.

[45gamehead]

This song is the shit when I'm high the hummmm part sounds like gods farts

[DoctorConspiracy]

Makes me think of the girl I was crushing on. First time I heard this, we were sitting in her living room, spacing as if we had just smoked the fattest J. I'll always enjoy this song.

[slipknot666415]

Sometimes When i listen to this song it makes me think of leaving the city and going somewhere far, a suburb and just start over.

[moparman2010]

@slipknot666415 makes me feel the same way +1

[nataliewesselius]

@slipknot666415 ahahah wtf same

[pinkalien99]

@slipknot666415 You read minds.

[lax4eva97]

Gr8 song

[4G8THS]

[KIDC0MET]

[MrCJones2014]

Awesome song

[jacksinthebox01]

I can't get enough of this song! I LOVE IT!

[jacksinthebox01]

I can't get enough of this song.

[SuperMv73]

Is the last part of that song part of a different song made by a different band or was it made for this song

[PocketPropst420]

@SuperMv73 It seems that way, but clearly they use some of the same lyrics and effects. (two guys st the end) (two guys made this song)

[dazeedazeeimkewl]

lovvv this songgg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsExLibirs]

I love this song. It's so cool and chill.

[motrojam]

Im glad i clicked this. I heard it the other day and meant to look it up. I didn't know it was broken bells though. I like The Ghost Inside.

[Droskee420eR]

Pandora.

[jadzia7911]

who said music finished in the 80's or 90's? I love it, but having discovered Muse and now Broken Bells - I am sure - the will be no the end of the world as long as good music is alive:)

[5277407]

LOVE YA!

[soccerboys14]

The intro instantly engages the listener's senses. The end leaves you with a sense of remembrance. This is art

[lkuley]

@soccerboys14 lmao your right, but isn't the whole thing just a fond memory remembered by the discovery of an old blurry photograph that seems a lot ilke your mentality at that age and the camera simply your own minds eye looking into your past...

[drinz22]

lol

[Bismarko]

sick...



[samfrompasingtime]

Have you ever WANTED to like a song SO MUCH and you just CAN'T??? There is nothing wrong with this song and every time my friend plays it I think "oh no". Hmmmmm......anyone else? They are VERY talented, something is just not making me have the reaction that some ppl do to this.

[SmoothToking]

@samfrompasingtime

try rolling up a joint.

[ConfusedProud]

Even if this video had a billion views there wouldn't be enough people watching it.

[FallenColoney]

[paulpz2004]

Great music

[mobgrip95]

my Honors English teacher played this in her class. And in that class was the first time i had a ever fallen in love. When i hear this song I think of the amazing feeling it was of getting to know someone new and special.

[redsea0501]

WONDERFUL!!!! Heard It at Aroma Coffee In Eilat. WOW

[Jibbre]

@redsea0501 good times. stayed at the queen a few years back.

[ShainaThe1DerKid]

I cannot comprehend how anyone can dislike this song.

[jackbauer555]

AHHHHHHHHHH COME ON AND GET THE MINIMUM!!!!!!!!!

[admiralcrunch1]

I'm just glad The Shins are coming out with a new album.

[SrTb0y05]

I just watched this on my phone, and now it's not available on mobile? lololol.

[halifaxstar]

[lemonZEEBRA]

@djtumadre1 YES!



[mainsqueez13]

cant get this song on frostwire!! >:[

[puredmt]

yep well see them at banaroo or pukeroo or whateveryouwannacallitroo in the future

[andrewdrury1]

This song is about the sacrifices one must take in order to become successful. Sacrifices such as friends and basically your entire old life. and its a sad thing. At least that's what I think of it.

[974laurene]

69 n'aime pas ^^ (pas de connotation autre ... bien entendu )

[jackbauer555]

james mercer looks so depressed in that picture

[FreeUrself95]

It makes so much sense and im 12

[thisisnttoasty]

@FreeUrself95 your point being...?



[Avengedpawtucket]

69 people hate good music

[aaronhipps]

good song

[phatato]

I just listened to this 60 times on repeat and it STILL HASNT GOTTEN OLD

[phatato]

SWEET

[cxcubed]

screw SME for not letting me view this in my favorites or play lists

[lucas65ification]

one of the greatest songs made since true faith by new order

[lucas65ification]

this song reminds me of vietnam

[tinkspank1]

i love these guys......

[KHgoalkeeper21]

this song gives me the good high without actually being 'high'

[immahotpepper]

I wish they'll tour in Vancouver. Love these guys!

[rpbnyy]

@immahotpepper sorry, i think theyll pass, they probably dont want to get set on fire or stomped on.

[sk8krusevac]

no need for weed, i can just play this song ^_^

[AlienHazard]

@sk8krusevac Sorry, NOTHING beats weed

[sk8krusevac]

@AlienHazard you know that better than me :D because i don't use it :D

[AlienHazard]

@sk8krusevac :O WHAAAT?? you sir have not lived yet.

[scwrestler21792]

@sk8krusevac hahaha straight out, weed and music have nothing to do with each other, thats like saying working out and music are dependant upon each other

[jropz]

danger mouse is that dude

[Emilyexists]

So, this is what happened when james mercer and danger mouse had a music baby.... then Discovery was the result of Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot. Now who else thinks more artists should get funky 2gethaaa?!

[creampuffandcupcake]

OKAY I KNOW THIS MIGHT SOUND WEIRD BUT JAMES MERCER IS MY UNCLE!!!!!!!

[baillou2]

@creampuffandcupcake why would that sound weird? If he was your grandma then yeah.

[xaxa835]

Great song

[socabwai]

I would love to hear Michael Stipe cover this.

[altgirl84]

very refreshing sound. I loved stumbling upon this and i very much agree with DearMrFantasy11.

[mirelurk1]

@zkafel get the fuck out of here troll

[EltomeiroJackson]

"...come and get your overdose, collect it at the borderline

and they want to get up in your head..."

[socabwai]

Is there some Beach Boys influence on the Broken Bells? Someone let me know if i'm crazy, but i'm hearing it.....

[adigoket]

@socabwai i think whenever an artist picks big blurry vocals with a lot of reverb it reminds people, myself included, of brian wilson. a really great example of this is Panda Bear, on his album Person Pitch.

[720moorhsum]

@socabwai

I'm hearing The Church on this one--either way, they are great!

[socabwai]

@720moorhsum The Band "The Church"? Which track?

[DearMrFantasy11]

@jessdoublediz

[sonofasaylor]

Lead the way brother...

[MyBobbieG]

Incredible!

[abreen14]

so glad i randomly found this song at the apple store on their ipod. They got good taste.

[ThugPROV]

anyone notice the picture gets smaller?

[xXTRaDEmAStERXx]

@ThugPROV i thought it was moving away from me.. whoa! 0.o

[BananaHurricane]

This song makes me think about cruising slowly through a city at night.

[Arrested101]

@BananaHurricane absolutely. driving at night with this on is great!

[philritter21]

@BananaHurricane Funny, it makes me think of cruising through the rolling countryside as the sun rises. Like, you had a depressing night, and this is the drive home.. slightly hung over, but optimistic about the future.

[ThaCatsPijamas]

@BananaHurricane i hope by cruising you mean realllyy "cruising"

[lbsurfsider]

After this song ended for the 50th time, I think I finally found  'the high road' .... it's hidden behind the "replay button"

[gordokc77]

great song, great music.

[hmoshref]

the pic is moving.

[winnasWFC]

Top tune, lol to the person who says the pic is slowly zooming out. smoke some for me.

[ASacredSpirit]

reminds me of last summer. oh, nostalgia.

[coldoatmeal326]

did anyone notice that the picture is slowly zooming out...

[BenjaminPaulWoodham]

@coldoatmeal326 I think you're smoking something.

[Pigeonpalace]

Great band with talented members.

[danasprngs]

OMG!!! I just heard this song on that movie the rabbit hole gotta get this on itunes. Just beautiful!!!

[Caphale1]

@danasprngs Thank goodness for a crappy looking movie like that. It introduced me to an amazing song! This is my shit!

[lawyer231]

Best song of 2010, maybe? Definitely in my top 5.

[boyODD]

With that for once when i go onto a song i didnt have to comb through the mass of irrelavent, or just pure idiotic comments...swear some ppl shouldnt have a keyboard

[captaindaring]

This is one of the best fucking songs I've heard in ages. Fuck those people that say new music is shit. They need to pull their head from their ass.

[TheMrEpicFail]

@captaindaring new music is shit james mercer (the shins is 1998) uses the sound from the shins his second band and started this band so not a new band well it is but there sounds are from the shins so NEW MUSIC FUCKING SUCKS.

[captaindaring]

@TheMrEpicFail You just proved your ignorance. Unfortunately I'm not interested in your educational deficiency. Try posting on the "my head is up my arse" site.

[salahadinraven]

thanks God for 8tracks... beautiful song....

[distortionpf]

ahhh this song reminds me of the year

[berakka7]

It's great to hear a band who has really put thought into their words.

[berakka7]

It's great to hear a band who has really put thought into their words.

[emjay946]

hey, i followed gary numan since 1979. this track is my track of the moment, why would i be listening to it.

because i love it, brilliant haunting melody, and what a voice,

[krayyyyy]

i cant even telll you how much this song can change my mood to being mad to chilled the fuck out hahaha

[Dkguerilla]

i listen to rap and rock...i dont know how you call this kind of music...but damn THIS IS MUSIC !!

[poloplaya08]

ooommmgggg this song has been stuck in my head for the past 3 days!!!!!!

I've liked The Shins for some time now and didn't realize until (finally) being obsessed with this song that its the lead singer...brilliant...

....his falsetto is something you rarely hear these days in popular music..takes me back to the Zeppelin days, in a kind of alternative rock way....if that makes sense to those who know Plant or even Mercury (Queen) for that matter....

[veetothebee]

chillingggggggg

[DearMrFantasy11]

I find the high road by lighting up a joint

[emjay946]

@DearMrFantasy11 i lost all my teeth abusing amphetamine, prey god you stop at the joint,

[TOTALAEXE]

@emjay946 haha!

[emjay946]

@TOTALAEXE yeah really funny,

[Andrew61291]

[MEGOOOOOOO7]

squidward playing the clarinet is soooo good in this song!!!

[coolidgejosiah]

JAMES MERCER. Enough said.

[Lobot97]

Thumbs up if you knew this song before it was famous.

[irapecancerpatients]

@Lobot97 shut up. who cares if the song is famous. if it's a good song, it's a good song. i feel gay for replying on youtube, so...you're probably still a great person! just don't kill anyone. or eat people. unless you really need too. i would.

[Tripp426]

This song is just amazing.

[jesse9283]

james mercers voice is so distinct that the first time i heard a song by this band i knew he was part of it. he's great in the shins and also great in broken bells =]

[mrmagoo1016]

A Pearl in the Poo.

[jazzyjezz19]
