DJ Shadow: Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt

[parotpalan]

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.

~Leopold Stokowski

[MrAuthorityZero]

Epic executions from Sam Fisher!

[hitman5652]

@MrAuthorityZero i pooped my pants when i realized that this song was playing. that was hands down the best part of the game.

[voodoodolll]

DJ Shadow's so good! He also did ''Lonely Soul'' for Assassins's Creed! (With Unkle)

[XSpetnazX45]

Sam Fisher is fucking mad now :P

[Rumbleman99]

i love the piano part in this tune, its fukn amazing, such a genius x

[jestrovic2]

MUSIC FOR LIFE !

[CalisoMoon]

I love you Sam Fisher. :P

[StatusSilver]

is that mclovin?

[tomharding]

Is this Bob Wood walking to work at the chum group at the beginning?

[HernesBK23]

@tomharding Yup, the whole song is sampled from different songs.

[Rumbleman99]

@HernesBK23 mainly from old movies actually but he won an award for this album for the first whole album entirely made up of samples, its fukin wicked x

[daveconno]

somebody stole my horse and cart

shit bugger aresehole piss cock fart

[stickems1992]

this was the first album to be created using only samples.... bad ass man

[SweatshirtAndHat]

Just watched the doc Dark days, sooo good

[MsWebflower]

occupy wall street...i am unemployed and 99 percent... I am the black man puuleeese....Clarenence Thomas in the building cuz elvis left puleeese....today denial tomorrow contrition and rehab.....

[agoule01]

old school! dj shadow is dope!

[TheMidnightDosojin]

It looks real stupid when people that have something try to look like people who have nothing. DJ Shadow kicks ass though so I'll forgive the maker of this crappy video.

[MyCrackalackin]

@TheMidnightDosojin well usually people who might be rich or might look like their doing good financially they still have anxiety.you cant buy your way out of stresses in life.and dont say hes not stressing because everyone stresses.if you notice nothin but calamity consumes this world aka satans house.so try not to judge for who are you to judge anyone. happiness is actually harder for people who have alot because they think things bring happiness and so they buy n buy but their never content

[Rumbleman99]

@MyCrackalackin good point mate

[spartan4126]

awful

[sundimond9252]

@spartan4126 Stop trollin and enjoy the song!

[spartan4126]

@sundimond9252 well it is I was just making an observation when it goes into the breakdown at 3:15ish it doesn't follow any beat just plain awful that isn't music...thumbs up for boobies

[sundimond9252]

@spartan4126 The fuck are you talking about. You don't know shit. That was all in time and that was awesome! Programming that shit is hard. that whole drum solo was all in time! you wouldn't know about tempo because you probably love simple music like train and Justin Beiber. You wouldn't know good music if it smacked you in the dick!

[nightmare2nightmare]

@sundimond9252 that is if he has a dick....

[Rumbleman99]

@sundimond9252 not to mention the fact that he didn't programme that on logic or anything, oldschool production, a lot of time spent with bits of tape and continually recording parts of other records and cassettes, making music like this in that time took dedication and graft, im guessing whoever u aimed that comment at hasn't the faintest idea about any of this x

[Rumbleman99]

@spartan4126 ur a fool, dont be so closed minded about music, music is just organised sounds, re-mapped drum patterns are a work of art, shadow in particular

[stickems1992]

@spartan4126 yeah dude i go to musical to study drums with world class pros. this song was an example my teachers used as an amazing song to learn from... so... yeah... it's fucking awesome

[TheNessteea]

@spartan4126 and now you want thumbz in your ass for boobies lol

[tompwh]

epic song

[xGamekiller]

JabbaWockeez All DAY

[MrJimmymoc1]

1996 samples on the akai mpc60 MKII no one does it better than shadow.

i remember pumping this stoned at school in my sony walkman over and over &over again.

[britsft1]

video sucks hard bonners

[NDogg3]

I thought this video was alright and that at the start, but I couldn't really be bothered to watch it all the way through. Then I clicked back on it by accident and saw my local newspaper at 3:27! Yes Leicester Mercury!

[calebw0755]

thumbs up if splinter cell brought you here.

[Trilinie]

Re: Bums in North America

....all commies

[TheNefariousNerd]

Vash12349 brought me here :D

[22sfgiants55]

i remember geting all high and playing gta on my ps2 listing tto this cd 4 hours

[SOADownsnubs]

@22sfgiants55 Sounds pretty swaggin dewd

[ryanherington]

this is so legit. real easy to just zone out while you listen to.

[JordanK3lly]

I'm using this song for my photography project and had to play it in class to show my teacher. Some kid in the class heard it and says it's by the Marionettes.... What? Is there maybe a sample or something from a song of theirs in this?

I highly doubt it but any incite would be appreciated

[IshzillaKazim]

@JordanK3lly nah, hes lying... no marrionettes.

[HectorVonFuzzypants]

There was a great documentary called Dark Days where this song appeared. It's about people living in some abandoned train station in NYC.



[TheStreetdogz]

0:23

[crangesJ]

Omg this guy looks like MC lovin from superbad.

well thats who he reminds me of

[crangesJ]

the splinter cell version of this song is much much better!!!

[TheCagedTiger]

This goes hard. The intro is amazing, especially when the chanting kicks in.

[MachiriReviews]

The crab beast his ass with rage.

[MrScottie7]

There is only one Shadow

[inexorableveracity]

where are the sound bytes from? anyone know? or were they made for the song?

[sjiekesjit]

@inexorableveracity neverthat, Endtroducing is called the first album completely made from samples, so all of this comes from previously existing recordings..

[Doccuttlefish]

who can't like this music wtff???

[gamehau5]

Looks like the young Bob Dylan

[AjLoffDisGejm]

greatest video and song of all the time

[TheChristianomac]

can someone explain the splinter cell thing i'm here for dj shadow

[commyzthatdont]

@TheChristianomac

In Splinter Cell Conviction, Sam Fisher gets told what really happened to his daughter and whatnot. During that scene this song is played.

[TheChristianomac]

@commyzthatdont oh cheers bro

[MrDavid4e]

EPIC SONG

[DisfunctionalMisfunc]

I will admit that i was brought here by Splinter Cell. But are you not glad that such a great song has been shared to many people? The build up is great.

[EvripidesCelicakias]

@DisfunctionalMisfunc The funny thing is that the song is 15 years old...

[DisfunctionalMisfunc]

@EvripidesCelicakias alright then.

[xheavy94x]

very moving video, i might of got the bigger picture...

[luischo7591]

CREANDO HUMO CON UN GRANO DE SAL??

[TheDarkMinister]

@luischo7591 Vapor

[koreanbreaker]

Don't know about Splinter Cell, but i'm here cuz of bboy Toyz slow motion vid :)

[legomanjavi]

[DanMan9887]

Voidim

[IThoughtThereWasCake]

Fuck yeah! Infinite target marks!!! Also I'm so glad I heard about this song through Splinter Cell.

[MyGamerforlife]

@IThoughtThereWasCake How do you do that?

[IThoughtThereWasCake]

@MyGamerforlife You get infinite target marks during the time this song is playing in game.

[jonhydj123]

fuck WAR.. peace on world... live dj shadow 8 )

[SRMTHFGLover1]

This Reminds of Poke646 8D

[IAmJeenyuss]

@SRMTHFGLover1 Lol thats the reason im watching this video :D

[SRMTHFGLover1]

@IAmJeenyuss Right 8D Awesome song and awesome Mod too ^^

[efeorh]

The ultimate conspiracy, illuminati, bilderberg, freemasons, nwo reminding music. The first time I heard it, it brought an image of those things y'know, secret projects regarding the future. And now I watch this music video, it clearly tries to transpose those things. Recent films and video games try to negligiblify those things presenting conspiracies like they're pure fiction of no significance. Enough lectured.

[Malicension]

@efeorh

Regardless of your psychotic, conspiracy-minded attempts to find meaning in the meaningless, I'd like to remind you that "negligiblify" is definitely NOT a word.

[efeorh]

@Malicension haha oooookay calm down champ. god bless usa

[Malicension]

@efeorh

Rather naive to assume I'm a US patriot because I criticized you on your poor understanding of the English language, isn't it? I have little respect for the American socioeconomic system, and have long since come to the conclusion that a socialist government would be preferable. Sorry to have wasted your time, conspiracy theorists just irritate me.

[Titsbongripsnbeer420]

Memerois this song bring me back to some really good times in my life. Miss this shit thanks for upload eh

[MyDERPMAN]

what album is this from?

[MixiestA]

@MyDERPMAN google man...album: Endtroducing.....

[Zanderwrecked]

I've heard this song before but it said "By Amon Tobin".... Am I missing something? Is Amon Tobin - DJ Shadow? Guess I better GOOGLE that shit

[flyinmonkey3114]

dont piss sam off

[jp98223]

Sam Fisher is MAD!

[CENESARA1]

Sam Fisher is fuckin' angry now.

[ffinfinity1]

@CENESARA1 THATS WHERE I HEARD THIS SONG FROM THX, it was driving me crazy when i heard it.

[RndumHero]

Hope he does this song at the show next month!!!

[Hidargo]

Miles Davis-Kind of Blue, #4. Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon, #3. Metallica-Master of Puppets, #2. Nas-Illmatic, #1.Slayer-Reign In Blood

My top 5 might never change order other than within themselves(i'm 18) just because they are that great,if anyone has any music suggestions please tell me i'd really like to listen

[DaSein1988]

@NotNotOminous What does Building Steam with a grain of salt means?

[1337strelok]

[StylishStar88]

Splinter Fuckin Cell! :D

[LockMacFly]

5:09 LOL

[ThePunkyCo]

i understand dj shadow....i too am a cancer..there is something to be said about a crabs connection to the moon, the ocean music and people....we feel everything. music moves us in the strangest ways...especially music like his.emotional and deep. it's best listned to under the canopy of the moonlight sky...wow....im deep.



[stoptakinallthenames]

[EdgarAlves321]

this music put me in a state of trance

[Gotalighter]

well this is an alright vid man, i like the way u made it, but i expected something different in how u were gonna conclude it. i thought for sure the guy (you i suppose) were gonna have some sort of revelation without getting shot.. but i still get what you're getting at so its all gravy.

[GanjaSeb]

how can people not like this...

[Migas128]

Awesome job guys, I love this song. The video is really fucking kickass!!! For real, unique camera tricks and the film has a certain vibe to it thats sick.

[xxWockeeZxx]

great dance song

[RenaXapado]

"Still i'm a student ,of the drums, and i'm also a teacher of the drums too"

[snubbs741]

are we sure that Shadow is from Northern California?? This is so British hahaha

[devon08059]

this is the second song ive heared. orgin doner was the firt.

[DanSemotan]

@devon08059 Hell yea man, me too. Organ Donar was epic! Actually heard it on Andrew Reynold's The End by Birdhouse.

[NolanMac1995]

JABBA. 

[efrankie90]

@xymox007 and all of youtube hates these gay ass comments that fools like you make, fuck you

[xymox007]

@efrankie90 When anger is mismanaged, the results can be catastrophic in both terms of dollars and the waste of human potential. It's YouTube, son. Relax. So much hostility for a wee 23 year old.

[efrankie90]

@xymox007 you posted 2 comments and deleted the first one.  i still hate you

[cincistyle13]

it's 1996.... 15 years old and always the best.

[beatboxboi121]

Thumbs up if you heard of this through Splinter Cell Conviction. (I-.-I)

[ibilliedyourmomhard]

@beatboxboi121 :|

[iNKN]

[AtomicShovel13]

@iNKN OMG Thats what I was thinking lol :D

[DigitalDNA]

Mega crap. The monotone hurts the ear sex.

[Aresftfun]

@DigitalDNA "It''s pretty awesome." -Tejb

[bozy99]

[MrWildfire92]

[AgentPunisher]

Sam fisher in his rage.....

[KutzDude666]

Dj Shadow is the man.

[doubtisfear]

Check 'Convalescence Kid: Nothing left to lose'  It's pretty cool!

[MrRhythmlizard]

very well done. This is exactly what I think of when I hear this song

[297mx]

this song is just like saying "sometimes life is shitty".

[BigOnBass0421]

Who cares how you hear it. It's that you're listening to it that matters.

[Juliah217]

perfection.

[spinkick21]

I heard this after Splinter Cell, but it wasn't because of Splinter Cell.

[SnippetChaos]

Like this if you have no clue how this song relates to Splinter Cell.

[CamjamTV]

@SnippetChaos the song is played during the best part of the game

[MegaKennon]

@SnippetChaos because it shows how pissed he is it shows his emotion

[Euhpieter]

splinter cell? why nobody saying dark days

sigh

[freeridermtb4]

[TheMrWonski]

This is ABSOLUTELY incredible and awesome music. Like a spiritual experience.

[kuriosity89]

Knew this song LONG before Splinter Cell: Conviction, but when I heard it on there during that scene I totally flipped the FUCK OUT!!! This song just gets more and more brilliant each time I listen to it!

[gojira12345678910]

Splinter Cell brought me here. Definitely fit the game well, but I'll have to look into this guys work more.

[killersushi99]

The steam melted my grain of salt. I FAIL! 

[bioheart09]

This song is like god

[NotNotOminous]

[danlav05]

[1HandClapping2010]

Feel your heart beat with your body. Know the amazingness of nature, close your eyes, see the panic in the world-and that is this video.

[logansGT]

I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila. (*_~)
