Deerhunter - Desire Lines

[Axeltiny]

I thought I was listening to the arcade fire...

[brandondittman]

Intro is similar to rebellion (lies) by arcade fire.

[eek4ever]

Amazing song, but that coda is one of the best I've ever heard. Stops me in my tracks every time.

[omegamymega]

The Dear Hunter > Deerhunter



[MsStephanieKAT]

How could you not like this song? It still gives me chills the 50th time I hear it!

[phlypped]

@MsStephanieKAT

What! Only 50?, keep going

Peace

[shlomonew]

wtf photo

[Clothesburner626Jr]

I gave this to a friend, and he said Coldplay is better.

Dear Mother, dear Mother, send your child unto me. For the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear.

[motocarnage615]

I'm having a long night and I literally found this song by doing a Google search I typed songs with amazing outro's and typed the Pixies Number 13 Baby to find something similar and this came up fucking awesome is all I really have to say!

[TaraCheryve320]

hmz is ja lustig

[GeorgeJuisce]

ellen page made this popular.

[WillLewisAlexander]

The second half of the song sends me to sleep, love it.

[pinktallgirl94]

I swear I thought this was a rebellion lies cover at first! That intro sounds ridiculously like arcade fire!

[misterbuckethead]

@pinktallgirl94 lmao no it doesn't

[AdmiralDonuts]

At first I thought "wow, Bradford has a very versatile voice."

But then I was like "oh, wait, it's Lockett."

Then I learned that this band is fucking great.

[StephBerri]

It sounds just like arcade fire in rhe beginning!

[WINFIELD32750]

The opening sounds exactly like rebellion lies by arcade fire

[anthoyms91]

@WINFIELD32750 it does lol

[galacticmerger]

Me Gusta face

[moddingmerchant]

sure one of the best bands Indy ever brought forth

[NashtheLion]

Dat jam session.

@_______@

[TheTonde91]

hate this song

[LicoriceLain]

@TheTonde91 I am sorry.

[TheBrokenBell]

I'd rather die than stop listening to this masterpiece. Awesome.

[aledav79]

Depresión. ¿nos suicidamos?

[cloob1000]

outro's on a par with no.13 baby

[P1anetTelex]

@cloob1000 what specifically do you mean by this? i love no.13 baby soo much and i am interested in why you think that. :) i believe the structure is similar in how the end is continuous chorus until it fades. is that what you mean?

[cloob1000]

@P1anetTelex yeah they're similar in structure, but i was thinking more about the hypnotic feel to both outros and the use of repetition to create this effect

[daveydream]

@cloob1000 - totes agreed. 

[hjt123]

@cloob1000 never noticed how similar they are, good look

[SuperBattleshipp]

Thumbs up if Bunny told you about this band!

[nadasurf47]

@SuperBattleshipp

yeah it was bunny

wtf is bunny?

[faggotstep]

closed my redtube tab, kept on wanking

[lipssounds]

hey, I'm not gonna go through all that "struggling artist" shit hoping for thumbs up, but please check out my music, you might like it....if not, my apologies...

[NoddysBaw]

xxxxxxSqueezexxxxxx

[Rooooooooooooooone]

i am proud to be one of the privileged people who can say, when they inevitably become bestsellers and top charters, that i knew deerhunter before they were 'cool'

thanks a bunch for the tunes deerfunter <3

[biscuthead123]

@Rooooooooooooooone

who cares?

[Chacha5678]

@Rooooooooooooooone your cool

[paraLUCHS]

@Rooooooooooooooone hipster.

[skima744]

By far, one of my favorite tracks from 2010. This song just rolls over my ears like molasses.

[noneofyoucanspell]

3:17 look at them they're so in love i bet they'll french kiss all night long i wish we knew which hole he's gonna poke her through

[DariaJerriow293]

ey find ich toll hihi

[jtsales]

One of the best songs I've ever heard! Something in it that makes me feel better and high!

[pianod00d]

My God, that chorus....those guitar arpeggios...*spontaneously combusts*

[IsobelPeggiegi225]

hihi ich wiege 300 kilo

[chopluey]

Best tune i've heard for so time. I've been listening to the live version on the Interface. Its super.! Especially when the bass riff changes out of nowhere beauty!!!!

[roseylua]

Musically geneious song.

[akristen0121]

Psh... if this is hipster shit...then call me number one hipster!

[drocks22]

sounds like hipster shit.

[arinross523]

this, then Revival, then Memory Boy

[lisasuzannejones7778]

<3

[AleMayaOM]

what a band!!!!!!!

[ColorMeHoppy]

@919Radio Fellow Redditor?

[mrwellington102]

lovely !

[AmbienceMatters]

Just gorgeous vocal arrangements.

[modds803]

fyi...this is the best song of all time..

[DanieLatzanich]

the way they did the ending reminds me (very strongly) of No. 13 Baby by Pixies. Beautiful guitar outro. Love it

[R21melb]

@DanieLatzanich you're spot on!!! That is what has unknowingly drawn me back to this song!! I couldn't put my finger on it...

[BGAKIRAKNOXVILLE]

A very creatively ambitious song, Beautifully done Deerhunter.

[vakeraj]

@BGAKIRAKNOXVILLE This song is so beautiful, and yet doesn't go for the cheap listen, preferring to enter guitar solo territory at the end rather than repeating the chorus.

[shauno5166]

rebellion lies? oh nvm got past the first 30 seconds

[adamgergich96]

@shauno5166 omg, yes. someone else noticed!!! hahaha

[spread1971]

psych sauce is lame! dont know good music when you hear it or what?

[DarlingBeTrue]

beginning sounds like arcade fire..

[blagdiesel]

this is the first album in a while that i found to be so good that i listened to it on repeat for something like 7 hours straight and still wanted to keep listening to it.

[JohnnyNny94]

I love this song. The guitar riffs sound fucking amazing!

[accf95]

I used to fall asleep whenever I would listen to this song on my ipod and I need to re-add it because it got removed :(

[MrFlareon136]

A song that really says "what do you feel when you hear me?"

[Videos5197]

Can't even listen to this song without having a nostalgia attack.

[000TwistedFreak]

@Videos5197 i feel the total same way about this song. i first heard this song when i was moving out, the lyrics fit exactly with how it makes me feel. im not ashamed to say i am actually brougt close to tears when i hear it.

crazy that a song can do that to ya aint it...

[LiamCrowley1990]

@Videos5197 It only came out a year ago?

[Videos5197]

@LiamCrowley1990 I know, but it still gives me a sense of nostalgia. Something about the sound of the song, I don't know.

[zenographer88]

@Videos5197 yeah, I remember when us kids used to listen to this in the 80's

[Videos5197]

@zenographer88 Funny. 

[TehChiken]

@Videos5197

This takes me back...

not really.

[WiNCR4SH2]

@Videos5197 >album relised in 2010

>nostalgia

YOU MAD

[Videos5197]

@WiNCR4SH2 >Album released* in 2010

>Has nostalgic sound

>Entire genre that can be classified as nostalgic rock, regardless of the release date

>YOU mad?

The release date has nothing to do with the feeling a song might create in you.

[MEKsLP]

@Videos5197 no shit dude...me and my roommate listened to this shit every day when we woke up for almost a year....he is in jail now :(

[Peacemeetslove5]

Perfection. <3

[DanoD]

reminds me a lot of Cocteau Twins but with male vox. no accident as to why these guys are on 4AD.

[queenmothra]

Love this whole album, but this song is so so beautiful. Cant live without it now

[dignun]

probably one of the best albums to come out this summer i got realreal gay w this track what can be said? walking free...come w me whoa...peace:)

[modds803]

how is it possible for a song to get any better..

[guitarmastar]

Such an incredible song. Deerhunter is defiantly one of the best bands out there.

[CPSean]

This convoy is so fucking weird I'm going to deerhunter tonight and I'm reading the great Gatsby for school

[ToasterToast]

@fashklash The fuck? The dialogue in Gatsby wasn't that in-your-face posh or oldfashioned or anything. Shit, it was pretty casual, it sounded like they lived a black tie party.

Now Holmes, that's some posh ass shit.

[fashklash]

@ToasterToast Personally, I find Arthur a little dry. Dickens is one writer who can pull of posh and still be laid back and even funny. I think Tom's wife was pretty posh. She sickens me actually. ARRGH the hypocrisy of the american dream. Watch as it eats itself up in the form of a Madonna or a Katy Perry.

[ahyeaman]

that picture is so bizarre hah

[iansithlord]

Cool Song!

[TheDerping]

I can't believe most people prefer this band to The Dear Hunter...

[firetruckgreen]

@TheDerping I also prefer bread over batteries, but that's only because they're two entirely different things that cannot be compared on any level.

[panzercat39]

@TheDerping the deer hunter is still spelled deer,and i like both.

[Infuzor]

@panzercat39

Actually it's The Dear Hunter...

[panzercat39]

@Infuzor I feel kind of dumb to admit that I thought you were talking about the DeNiro movie.Hell I did not even know their was a band called the Dear Hunter. Listened to some of their stuff and I got to say they are not very good.That's just my opinion dude.They just are not as good as Deerhunter.

[Infuzor]

@JBLUVERR2

Thanks for clarifying mr. obvious, thats what I ment with my post.

[manchaquenoseva]

@JBLUVERR2 shut up

[antoinnetobias]

i closed my youjizz tab for this

[skapunkarmy]

@antoinnetobias 40$ says you didnt stop jerking it either.

[hobomonkeysbox]

@skapunkarmy Not gonna lie, i've rubbed a few off to this song, no big deal...

[BitzRitz1988]

and i love the fact that when my friends hear the first line of the lyric we all automatically think of shine on you crazy diamond

[chubstermgruff]

The first time I heard this (and every time since) my mind is in a state that I cant even explain because its soo great...kind of sketchy

[dussin23]

I need to listen to more of this band. I've heard them but don't have any of their stuff, which will change. I saw the name of the song and thought this might be a cover of the Lush song by the same name.

[Oallright]

They're so fucking good.

[Wwhackk]

@kokolznb trololololol.

[SerenaBlackCat]

First time I heard this song. It's really great. Also, there are two different songs called "Desire Lines" and I think they might both be on 4AD label.

[dussin23]

@SerenaBlackCat The band is Lush, from "Split".

[RSRatornra]

My mind is full of fuck

[MoonChildRoses]

I am sensing a reference of lush in the name of the song being desire lines and the guitar solo at the end they are completely original in there own sort of way

[skilful21]

Is it wrong to love Deer Hunter and Ian Somerhalder?

[cranderXX]

I hear their songs all day, especially this one. Too bad they don't come to Germany anytime soon, so that I could hear it live.

[b1rock]

Beautiful

[Sapatinhoooo]

wooo fuckk *.*

[allyosheaheretostay]

this is as good as your first orgasm or better!

[michelJL76]

i just learned how to play this song on bass (by ear), so fun to play :)

see us in august in portugal derrhunter, can't wait !

[Dryheaving]

Wow. I've only heard this and "Wash Off" but so far I'm really enjoying Deerhunter (finally). What a nice surprise after reading about them for so long!

[cutestkittyface]

Whoa. This made me happy...

[modds803]

it's hard for me to listen to this song with people around...it's been 8 months since it came out and I still cry when I hear it....

[phlypped]

@modds803

Sob! You too? There is something about this song that pulls at my emotions. The end result - tears

[piekipu1]

tous ces petits cons qui s'attardent sur des details,un vrai groupe..que celui là

[XxnovacainexaddictxX]

@NobodyMinds21

The same thing goes for me, dude.

[daedley]

Yeah that's Lockett singing because he wrote the song. Lockett doesn't get nearly enough credit in this band. There are two great songwriters.

[skinner1640]

i only disliked this song because it ended

[NIN99Koala]

@skinner1640 yeah, you really showed them! Next time, make a song that doesn't end.

[BlueRonsonol]

Deerhoof is better

[DiSessa182]

@BlueRonsonol

don't forget about deer tick, deer and the headlights, a dn blitzen trapper...any more deer bands??



[iwannapinurvag]

i swear her hands are moving!

[alanjonsiwebb]

@iwannapinurvag I swear that, Women. Has a very chiseled jaw line

[NobodyMinds21]

If I tried to explain how much I love this song I'd probably implode.

[MsTwilica]

Have listened to this SO many times, and it's still not old.

[TheycallmeSkywalker]

Is this lockette singing? and is he gay?

[teenagecobra]

@TheycallmeSkywalker yeah it's lockette who singing. and no he isn't gay because i am his wife ;)

[PhelanKA7]

@teenagecobra

Hey!  I'm his wife too!

[TheycallmeSkywalker]

@methinksyouwatch yo homey pitchfork stinks like poo

[LoopIntelligence]

One of the best albums from 2010. Period.

LI

[LilRedRasta]

souns like arcade fire? 

[alliant]

@LilRedRasta

man it sounds like that for about 4 seconds and then it's a completely different vibe.

[LilRedRasta]

@alliant ehhh but you can hear similarties throughout the whole song

[LilRedRasta]

@alliant ehhh but i still like it lol

[superchick00141]

@funkygreenmedina he is damen in the vampire diaries ...if u dont know what that is that's a show on abc...

[superbullfrog11]

The beginning of this song sounds exactly like rebellion by Arcade Fire...both great songs

[Happysundaze]

Brilliant brilliant stuff currently one of the best bands in the business in my opinion. Something quite uplifting almost spiritual in their music, which is just organic and unforced. Magical.

[judutchinski]

ahhhhhh wtf, i finally found a deerhunter song i actually dig. Onward to bliss!!!

[psychedelicSAUCE]

why the hell is a ian somerhalder comment the most thumbs up'd....c'mon guys. you can do better than that. DEEEEEEEEEERHUNTER

[maisqpoesia9999lcg]

Beautiful song!!!!

[MsChonin]

Más allá de las diferencias culturales, Messi es claramente superior a Rufete.

[MsChonin]

Viva Bell Green (coventry).

[alliant]

bradford's eerie background vocals just rollllll over that chorus. that's the psychedelic sound to me, when the sounds bend all over the place. organic music.

[cadanmccann]

this...song...is...fucking...R­AD!!!

[slye1991]

great great great song

[pisamojo]

Ian is the guy who wanted to do his sister on LOST

[alliant]

@pisamojo he totally did bang her

[Arcturuszs]

I would like to have a 'desire' line while listening to this.

[ad47aw]

Ian Somerhalder was right!

[cinemacec]

:]



[mathieier]

who came here and cares?

[modds803]

i love this song soo f''''''''''''cking muchh...

[forumknight]

A decent album...but this is the stand out track by a mile....it's epic!!

[SexyCandice2010]

@LonelyaaBethna592 fuck no bitch

[gdwme]

dreamy

[lauralivesinatree]

Ian Somerhalder is lovely, but I didn't come here because of him.

[mrfuuker]

...walking free

come with me

far away

every day...

[Underexperiment]

The scale/arpeggiatic guitar lines (3:00 - 6:51) take me to the "Deerhunter" state of mind...

[TyphoidBryan]

@Underexperiment

Many, many others have said the same thing. ...and so have I.

It's the pinnacle of the album with plenty of support from the rest of the album.

[LfunkeyA]

@TyphoidBryan

revival and helicopter are the best imo

[panzercat39]

@Underexperiment I agree whole heatedly,that guitar work is just so gorgeous!!!

[fashklash]

@panzercat39 That's gatsby talk. I like it. Daisy.
