School of Seven Bells - "Half Asleep"

[fakeplasticfool]

unfort. this band died the minute they kicked her sister outta it



[pchazzzz]

Coming to the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco April 20!!

[maybefull]

i want the hot one to put on her fucking seatbelt

[Austinh230]

They are not European, it says right there in the description, Brooklyn trio Half Asleep, read before you post a comment.

[crapi4got]

i remember when this video had only 20,000. amazing. love this song

[Muaver]

this is the dumbest comments box ever

[lightswitchers]

I remember last spring I used to listen to this song on loops for hours, but I eventually lost the name of it. I can't even put into words how wonderful it is to finally find this song again. :]

[PhattyMo]

I wish I could flag this for being too f*cking awesome.

[ronfrou]

But where are they going? and will they ever get there?

[hightimesbruce]

I love the song, but it has to be one of the wordiest choruses of all time.

[NeonPsychedelicRobot]

There's something peaceful about watching these women watching a city admist rain; all awhile the ethereal music playing in the backround; As they slowly decend into a cold, rainy, beautiful New York City night.

[tippyrogers]

Sexy twins!

[WhitefeatherStudios]

Thank you Pandora, as always! x3

[RealityShift1981]

I'm fine with this for now..

[Missjaspercullen1]

Love this song <3

[Missjaspercullen1]

this is amazing,<3

[radray19]

Oh Snapple! I am so glad I read the music/album reviews in my paper, otherwise I would not have discovered this Beautiful Beautiful music...

[777Khrystyna]

their voices blend perfectly

[Wankshaftsbury]

they're both gorgeous!

[chatoXvato]

A hottie with a voice of pureness.

[samiadossey47]

so melodic, i can't get over it <3 the music almost puts me in a trance like i'm half asleep..

[jagermeisterlennon]

yes que linda voz

[dannynuwave]

creo que me enamore

[CMMeltable]

@whodatismayne wearing my bonnaroo shirt as I listen!

[ToneyStarks36]

This video is dripping in LSD flavor

[ChundomanX]

El sonido en el palacio de los deportes estuvo de la mierda ¡¡¡¡ pero son muy buenos músicos, yo si los apoyaba pero se me quedaban viendo feo todos.

[wanwanmocomoco]

mituketa.

[cheekypressures]

guitar layer is really beautiful, I like the melodies.

[vileddisorder101]

Not a bad song. I saw them at Lupo's in Providence opening for Interpol and I really didn't like them; music was boring and it just carried on and on. This song is good though.

[patita89]

Me gusto mucho la canción aquí pero a la hora de abrirle a interpol, nos estabamos durmiendo. Lastima!

[daniiimb3]

These are my aunts, Claudia & Alejandra Deheza. My grandfather, Fernando Deheza, their half-sister, my mother, Ivonne Deheza, their mom Maria Deheza from Florida, but the twins live in Vew York. They are my aunts, & I love them & there music. <3<3<3

[iesszy]

es muy hermosa la chica... igual que su voz.. no los conocía y en el concierto de Interpol se lucieron ...muy bien¡

[thehornypuppy]

@iesszy Se porto medio grosera la gente xD Lástima de audio...me pregunto si realmente es tan dificil el palacio de los deportes para ecualizar y demas o si simplemente les dio weba...a mi se me hizo rarisimo que hicieran Soundcheck JUSTO antes de tocar...y luego cada grupo. Muy mal por parte de los promotores...pero bueno.

[TheDrunkWARIO]

i love this women!!!

[widodemmy]

yeeayy .. i like it ...

[rayyipei]

I didn't know male can have multiple orgasm too before listening to this song

[thechildrenofthe90s]

very very good

[fraja]

> They will open the concert of Interpol in Monterrey MEXICO!!! :D

[fujuwarayumi]

I really wish there was a love button...

[whodatismayne]

bonnaroo anyone?

[etipsh]

Sometimes I go whole days

listening bored, half sleep

I won't say anything

Some lyrics many people, Can and will relate too

[CHOCORAMA322]

I used to think School of Seven Bells and Sleigh Bells were the EXACT same people.

[cidrosmith]

That cab ride must've cost a fortune

[WaterLilyDreams]

I really like her tone :)

[kristophersheehy]

awesome song but the video was clearly under budget

[cocoforcolepuffs]

@kristophersheehy you dont need a high budget vid for it to be good...i like the vid :o

[shadoolol]

Saw them last night with Interpol, she's absolutely stunning and almost freakishly tiny. I have no idea how she was even able to support her guitar, it was bigger than she was.

She has an awesome voice which just seems to echo naturally.

[theblacksmog]

@shadoolol They sound awesome live...I got to talk to them twice before and after the show...

[poppiesinoctober]

@theblacksmog .... saw them live in Orlando, but there was only one girl...what's up??

[theblacksmog]

@poppiesinoctober Oh her twin sister quit the band.

[gleader]

@theblacksmog 1 boy + 2 sisters = drama. especially when they're twins and one is taking more of a lead role in the band. that's a real pity tho. i thought the 3 of them were good together.

[daniiimb3]

@theblacksmog they're my aunts, and its because the one that quit had a baby and couldn't take it on tour with her, because it was too much.

[theblacksmog]

@daniiimb3 Aww...ya taking a baby on tour wouldn't be a great idea. Well tell her congrats!!

[Roodski]

oh, so thats what they sound like without feedback and shitty acoustics lol jk

[AutumnRain86]

Wow! Her bangs grow really fast! Craziness!

[monkeykiller58]

Someone please tell me, is this like rock im pretty sure its a no but im looking for a concert and they where in a list

[mknight1020]

@monkeykiller58 Electronics Enhaced Dream pop apparently? Click on there name it brings up a page or wiki them?

[SuperGiek]

shoegaze rules!

[DylanFlanagan]

What if she had gotten into the Cash Cab?

[xXHasek99]

@DylanFlanagan lol, she would've definitely went for the video bonus question.

[cowdust51]

@DylanFlanagan It's a tv game show that takes place right here in my taxi! I'm Ben Bailey, your host. I'll drive you to your destination while you earn cash the whole way. So what do you say, you wanna play?

[IanaGodnia]

Love!

[777cascade]

Love the beet.

[xtianor]

now  i'm half awake

[unt0xication]

the lead singer is beautiful and this whole song is mesmerzing

[jayheuk]

Heard them in Seattle when they were touring with Interpol.

They are amazing live.

and the lead singer looks much better in person...

[killermod0]

I HATE RED LIIIIGHTS.

[avadakedavraization]

Kinda a boring video but, I guess it ties with the whole "Half Asleep" theme.  Still like the song though!

[pepemama]

Oh girls, sing to me beside my bed in the morning...

[Deathrape2001]

These women cannot B American. They have actual artistic ideas! =D They R from the UK or something yes? Or maybe Eastern Europe - Ukraine or something would make sense.

[keraia2027]

@Deathrape2001 Alley and Claudia were born in Guatemala and moved to the US when they were 11 months old.

[zillaboop]

@Deathrape2001 And you must be European, yes? Your arrogance and hatred towards Americans and thinking we have absolutely no creative, and we're just people that eat McDonalds with Peter Griffin. That would make sense.

[Deathrape2001]

@zillaboop I am American, born in California, & it is NOTHING like what people C on TV. America - even California - is a sea of fat, ugly Walmart Wreckage from sea 2 shining sea, & U damn well know it. These women CANNOT B Americans. My bet is they R East European. They look Slavic 2 me. I'm betting Ukranian or something. Now go shove another burger in your face, cow. I feel like I was dropped on 'Planet Ugly', like I'm drowning in stupid people ~ MOOO! =)

[zillaboop]

@Deathrape2001 Maybe your family fits that criteria, but mine sure as hell don't.You're really stupid, because America is basically formed by immigrants, so they probably are of that decent (their name CLEARLY suggests theyre spanish, though), but theyre still Americans. Generalizing a nation based off of stereotypes is retarded, an bashing your own country is plain stupid, so get off your high chair, cause you're the people you just described. I don't even know why I'm arguing with an idiot.

[Deathrape2001]

@zillaboop Who or what U pretend 2 think I am does not change the fact that American girls R all fat ugly krap & therefore these sisters must B foreign. Good luck with your trolling. Everything I say is obvious & correct, but U R 2 busy shoving cheeseburgers down your throat 2 give your brain cell a chance 2 think rationally =)

[zillaboop]

@Deathrape2001 K

[Deathrape2001]

@zillaboop U R so fuking retarded U can't even speak, k...

[keraia2027]

@Deathrape2001 Alley and Claudia were born in Guatemala. Their parents are Costa Rican and Bolivian and moved to the US when Alley and Claudia were about a year old. (They mentioned this in their first KCRW live session.)

[Deathrape2001]

@keraia2027 Like I said - obviously not American - way 2 pretty 2 B American =) American girls R fuking DISGUSTING.

[MinisterMenace]

@Deathrape2001 0/10 troll harder nigger.

[Deathrape2001]

@MinisterMenace Stating obvious, verifiable facts is not trolling. U doing a 'kill-the-messenger' dance is the very definition of trolling. Look @ what U have reduced yourself 2. U don't even make an ATTEMPT 2 debate against the obvious fact that American girls R fuking DISGUSTING & therefore these chix can't B American (& they R NOT =)

Good luck with your wasted words. Everything I say is correct & U know it. U don't believe your own B.S.

[quinteroudina]

Reminds me of lost in translation and surely thats a wonderful back rewind

[SenorDavid91]

yea saw them open up for interpol, i was with the crowd booing me off. it sounded terrible live. but hey theyre not bad in studio haha.

sowwy :(

[SenorDavid91]

@SenorDavid91 booing THEM**off

[emzorrrr]

Can some one tell me who which one is Claudia and which one is Alejandra?

Thank you :)

[nkc168]

@emzorrrr Alejandra has the bangs. Claudia left the band in October, so the harmonies live aren't quite the same.

[emzorrrr]

@nkc168

Ah, thank you!

Naww, what a shame :(

[TheHotGlue]

Just saw them last night!! Fucking great band to lead Interpol.

[listen2tool86]

@TheHotGlue

I'm going to see then too. I'm just seeing what they sound like. Before the show in April. I really like this.

[TheHotGlue]

@listen2tool86 You'll definitely enjoy them.

[Rele113]

Fuck, yeah! My soul is flying!

[hvincek898]

What begins as an unguarded

train of thoughts slowly can become

an addiction to the slumber

of disconnection and the resonance

of memory that no longer has a shape

but keeps you numb through

the hours till gone is another day

thats how i feel :D

[quel00ennui]

it's a pity this video was so uninspired..

[Annie805]

Haha they got booed in the UCSB one.

[EZLN194]

Yeah they are soooo Great

that when they opened 4 Interpol they got booed!

[Chimi911]

@EZLN194 which show? cuz if ur talking about the one in tempe at the marquee on sat...that was NOT the case.

[Brodysayshi]

love this video\song one of my favorites

this is such a good song if someone does not like it they are crzy

[Brodysayshi]

love this video\song one of my favorites

[carlojmc1]

kcrw!!

[fraktal12]

but keeps you numb through

the hours till gone is another day

Be aware, my darling

these things I say I mean

are just traces of something

I long to feel again

I see our time expand

in the air almost forcibly,

spreading thinner till it dissolves completely

[fraktal12]

Sometimes I go whole days listening bored, half sleep I won't say anything that's worth a thing to me One day, suddenly, time took a turn that once felt so brief I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly What begins as an unguarded train of thoughts slowly can become an addiction to the slumber of disconnection and the resonance of memory that no longer has a shape but keeps you numb through the hours till gone is another day

[Shankzilla87]

she's pretty 

[lendusyerodds]

This video would have been much shorter in MY taxi - I don't allow any singing in the back

[ArisBates]

reminds me of the Cranberries

[NinjafelineX]

Found them via Prefuse 73, I'm so in love with this song, their voices, the tall, wide sound, it's hypntic, glorious, calm, and wild at the same time. Simply atonishing... but the video is too low in volume!! :D oh but soon, very soon I'll have my own copy and then I can play this LOUD.... ♥ ♥

[lafowtlowd]

These videos. OH MY.

[SkateboardingFresh]

this is definately one of my favorite songs

[Concept2035]

did she ever get to where she was going?

[mikebulleye]

@Concept2035 was she going some where?

[Concept2035]

@mikebulleye I dunno, she is in a fuckin car, you tell me.

[Boneface2222]

@Concept2035 Maybe she had no destination in mind. Maybe she was simply going.

[jaidifuL]

@Concept2035 xdddd

[jonathan9702003]

@Concept2035 yes yes she did

[truelovewaits23]

I wish America would play this type of music in the radio.):

[pav413]

@truelovewaits23 sometimes in NY 91.5 plays this, its called Kexp, their site is Kexp.org

[Wankshaftsbury]

I love them both. the frosty one and the lovely one.

[callmeeemc]

thats how this song makes me feel

[callmeeemc]

an old crush comes back into your life. who are you kidding—you never forgot. that someone that made your heart skip a beat can still do the same years later with a simple “hello.” he renders you foolish and uncomfortable, even pulls out the familiar dagger from when you finally realized… realized that he glazed over you with his eyes when you spent hours losing time thinking about him. but youre drawn to that pain because it is a shadow of what you once thought could have been….

[hollywoodpurplehaze]

@callmeeemc best comment in a while and great tune to express opinion

[thebuckster101]

@callmeeemc that is the best thing that ive heard in a long time and i shal reward you with thumbs and views

[echo037]

@callmeeemc or woman

[Cdubzhappy]

@callmeeemc or: her

[cbepyon]

@callmeeemc Wow, very sad but true

[mwells219]

@callmeeemc if you're planning on quitting your day job and becoming a writer, don't. nobody cares about the guys you slept with.

[hyst3ricglamour]

@callmeeemc your post was beautiful... I'll never forget it because I know this feeling..

[xdombillyx]

Just heard of this band through Stars. God, I love them.

[yourbazergo777]

Kinda weird I'm sitting here listening to On! Air! Library! and I think they did it right the first time. Now they're just playfully pleasuring themselves.

[fishfood2020]

Dear God I hope they don't sell out

[danslequand]

does anybody know how they make these types of videos? where they clips overlap and where shes in the car, she is at normal speed whereas the rest is sped-up? is there a specific programme you can use to get all these features?

[TeabagerzCrew]

@danslequand wINDOWSmedia player lOL

[hewhosayszonk]

@danslequand she's not at normal speed, she's singing to a slowed version so it fits the normal version when sped up.

[tropunlim]

Although I love School of Seven Bells, it makes me really sad to see that such a great band has to produce such a crap video.

Wasted. Potential.

[FleetFox101]

If you like this band you will probably like "Tilly and the Wall"

[MrReidLynn]

her pores are filled with puddles of moisture and globby youth water

[brazerrk13]

marry me?

[NoriChuu]

yep. sounds like a modern version of cocteau twins xd more bass and stuff. i like it tho, but its cuz i've always loved cocteau

[hironinom]

I don't know why, but this reminds me of Cocteau Twins "Iceblink Luck".

[Hoopermazing]

Sounds like a Cranberries tribute band.

[Robbiemufc07]

It actually makes me deeply upset that people don't like School of Seven Bells, how can you not. Beautiful!

[indiean08]

Their voices are somewhat reminiscent of The Cranberries in spots.

[Djbofi1]

banda excelente!

[kame790]

Это мания!!

[dwerpkitteh]

@kame790 Так, так. Ха-ха.

[kkdoomsday22]

i listened to this song all day amazingly it made my day happy

[noordinarylife7]

loved this video

[shit311]

i always wonder why theyre too underrated :s they need more views

[mitchely]

Them opening for Interpol's current tour brought me here. I tried to like them, but I just get bored listening,

[PhattyMo]

This song haunts my brain. It's constantly playing in the background of my mind.

[mrpogiinspace21]

35 people were found dead after clicking the dislike button

[mrpogiinspace21]

35 people was found dead after clicking the dislike button

[chorizosandwich]

I get more of a stereolab vibe from this, not so much Cocteau Twins. Good stuff...

[Swimnebulafilms]

what a beautiful description to this video!

[Alexe84]

So, this is the band that will open up for Interpol - How could of I missed this band...

[micahmoo88]

How could anyone on this earth or any other planet think this song would ever deserve a thumbs down?! School Of Seven Bells is legit!

[pancreas333]

The two thinks as one

[professorpepper]

Love it!

[kempikoonikos]

at last some magnificent minds made modern music of the shoegazeing genre

[MrsEuniceMurray]

listen to the cocteau twins for the real thing

[tektus123]

@MrsEuniceMurray

yes, the cocteau twins started this beautiful music. So what? It's great to hear more of this type of music

[billyjack979]

@MrsEuniceMurray Love the cocteau twins but this is pretty damn good as well and while similar has it's own sound. This is just as real.

[dnomsedretsen]

This is probably the 20th times I played it. Addictive beats.

[Wankshaftsbury]

If you're bored then go and listen to happy hardcore.

This is a mellow track I really love.

[surfnsunshinekat]

this song is about lethargy. but I still like it. ha

[00Jaysin]

Had a crazy night partying still triping out and drunk taking a cab ride home that felt like this song sounds

[Blimmian]

1479 people go whole days listening, bored, half asleep. :D
