"I know that we're broken, it's been unspoken, for such a long time"
The original version is quite a bit darker than this poppier version. You don't often get to say a Polyphonic song is "dark". This is good though as well.

@3rdseal no. this was a version released to ge the entire denton/dallas crew involved and create a video that encompassed the view of what the band is.
this version of "we crawl" is slightly different from the album version - does anybody know if this has ever been released on a cd? really love it from the beginning to the end....adorable!
i haven't been able to find it and much prefer it to the album version...with that said, you can download this video on itunes for 2 bucks and burn the audio onto your own cd. and then make it an mp3!
They do get it right! It's like more bands should understand it, but few do. They are original, vibrant, celebrations of spirit! Beauty in motion! I saw them live at a Peaches Record shop in Greenwich Village, back in 2002. They were just getting a name for themselves, but what a great, wild, chaotic, beautiful thing their set was there! Be well.
Tim looks like the long lost love child of Benicio Del Torro and Gean Simmons! Sorry - just had to throw that out there before my head exploded with not saying it. Weird, i know....
ahhh we all live separate lives.....together we try but at the end of the day we exist within our own heads.....we see people we interact we feel emotion off people but we can never ever get out of our own heads.
It only, in the end, matters how the music moves you. If you cry, if you laugh, if it pisses you off, if it makes you change your ways then it has done its job. If not, it doesn't mean that it isn't good. All it means is it didn't move you. There are plenty of songs people love that I can't stand. But the difference between me and cuttlefish down there is I don't post my inane, pseudo-violent bullshit on a video that I happened to not enjoy. Sorry. Ranting. Anywho, good song!
I admit im very negative. So I've been trying to be optimistic more. I now have 2 possible jobs and I'm slightly more happy. It helps, some people don't want to try it soley because of there "image".
Only good thing about this is the black labrador that pops up twice. The lead singer has to die very painfully though, I'm sorry to say. He has to go.
from my understanding Tim DeLaughter has experienced a fair bit of death i his life. Whilst I only know the vaguest details about the guy, what I heard was that the positivity in polyphonic sprees music was a direct response to some pretty rough stuff that he was going through so suggesting that he "needs to die" when this band is actually supposed to be a reminder that he doesn't seems pretty harsh to me. some might say insensitive.
Ok, so suddenly, I feel good about me, abouth my family and life, about my friends and the world I live in.
You gotta admit that this music (really good music I might say) makes you wonder why in hell did you had a fight with your own brother last night... and those sort of things...
Hippy feel-good bullshit!! Utter garbage from start to finish. I wonder how happy he would look with my steel toe-cap boot in his face. Fucking weirdo untermensch
I agree with you. I saw this comment and looked it up yesterday and I automaticly fell in love with the song. Look up "port now by sirka ragnar" if you like this song.
This video just floored me. It really made me forget about the negative things in life and gave me one of those "we're all just stuck on this rock trying to make it work" feelings.
Thank You... this was the first time i heard this song .. . i was in a bad place.. after hearing this... its going to be fine thanks can not begin to describe how much better i feel cause u all.. but all i can say is Thanks from the bottom of my heart
Tim DeLaughter, the founder of the Spree had a good friend die of a drug overdose. DeLaughter was in Tripping Daisy and the forementioned friend was in T.D. DeLaughter feels the need not to dwell on the death and bring hope and happiness to as many people as he can through his music. Or something like that.
I've only just discovered them and you are so right! There's nothing different here anymore. It's all dance music and refugees from talent(less) shows. This, in the country that produced The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Small Faces, Led Zeppelin, T. Rex etc. etc. etc.
I've seen some great bands in my time. Soundgarden, Faith no more, Primus, Pearl jam, page and plant, Nirvana, the chili peppers as well as many, many others, but none have blown me away live on this stage as much as this band. Anyone that hasn't seen them live, needs to experience it...
For a group with so many numbers and such an epic sound, it's quite amazing how humble they all seem. Even if you COULD chalk it up to misguided religion. (Which isn't proven or hinted at)
dude polyphonic spree is FUCKED UP music designed by those of ego to turn off peoples brains from forming growth to legit strong dank musics. So much music that's good in every last genre out there. Just don't settle for music that turns your mind off. Gota rush a bit with the wind and sun of phens, gotta wend a gentle waves and tides to yawn out the new you, smoke weed to chilllllllllllllll people messin with u they say its weed causin the anxiety, its the LAWS doin it 100%. yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

'We Crawl' is beautiful and fits well with the hard economic times facing us all at the end of 2008. I knew nothing of the band and figured that was his wife and children in the video.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I've known a few people who were in this band, and it IS very much like a cult. Everybody gets nicknamed, and that is what they're called by everyone in the band; the lead guy keeps the rights to everyone else's creative output and ideas and refers to himself in the third person as 'Daddy' to all the band members; the 'musicians' in the band get paid next to nothing, and they're told to jump around and smile or they'll be fired. Anyway, who cares? It's not like the songs are any good...
Well, you come on talking like an asshole to everybody & make groundless accusations about local musicians who are just 'doin their thing'. It's alright- it's completely normal for people who are confused by something to feel angry, fearful, or threatened by it.
Oh, & as for the MK programming- it's just too bad that you're not on the internet or anything- then you could just google it yourself like a big boy...
Everything I said is absolutely, undeniably true. You are in the "don't want to believe bad things about my favorite band" group, so fine. Mostly, I just don't understand how this band gets any interest when there are groups like The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips, The Danielson Famile, Bjork's current touring ensemble, and Broken Social Scene out there making actual good art with true 'polyphony' and original ideas, as opposed to fast-food versions of the real thing.
tim just happens to have many musically and vocally talented friends with which he wanted to create a sort of giant jam session/choir (hence the robes) and thats it he is no david koresh, jim jones, sun myung moon or anyone else he it a musically driven person who wanted to esperiment with the sound of alot of his talented musician friends thats it.
Well come up with some facts to prove it, Encyclopedia Brown.
I would wager that you don't have any since if you did, you'd have used them instead of just playing the 'smarter (ha) than thou' dickhead.
I've known Tim informally for over 15 years. A little weird, yeah, but definitely not Jim Jones. If you think that, then you obviously know fuck-all about cults OR music.
Anyway, why don't you piss off & go tease some kids or kick a puppy?
I understand that the Beach Boys haven't made any polyphonic music in the last 35 years or so. Their puniest effort from that period, in my opinion, is far more interesting than this music. Look man, I haven't laid out any hateful insults or dumped any emotional garbage on anyone here. That was you. You say you know Tim, fine. That doesn't change the fact that he has done a lot of shitty things to a lot of kind, talented people over the course of his career.
I never said he was Jimmy Jones, nor did I say the band IS a cult. There are many similarities, however. Forcing everyone to sign a contract surrendering all intellectual property rights to Tim against the threat of being fired, leaving band members on the side of the road in foreign countries with no money, stealing ideas (for which he's had to settle out of court with former band members), leaving peoples' names out of the credits for albums they recorded on, etc., etc.
"very much like a cult," NOT "is a cult." Zappa never treated anyone like that. He dropped people for missing cues or for showing up drunk and/or high. Zappa didn't need to steal ideas. There's no comparison there. Even if he HAD done that, it doesn't set a free-reign precedent for every bandleader that comes after him. Tim Delaughter is a megalomanical half-talent, but you like his music, and that's fine. Your taste for his music doesn't change who he is.
you keep trying to validate your point by throwing out that you know previous band members and you kinda know tim. im majoring in psychology and thats one of the self validators you are using noone else believes you you are saying it to believe yourself you dont know anyone from the band so stop trying to validate you opinions by lying
Allow me to be the first person to report to you that majoring in Psychology does not necessarily equate to knowing a damn thing. If you want to check my facts, why don't you go to Good Records and ask Chris Penn, who has been Tim's little bitch for the last fifteen years. He manages Good Records for a little over $20,000/yr with no health benefits, while Tim and Julie just bought an enormous new house.
Point is this: all of the facts I've cited can be checked. Why don't you go the source and do some of your own research before calling me a liar, based on some haphazardly applied concept from your undergraduate studies.
Okay, now THAT is a valid complaint. If you want to take Tim to task as CEO of GoodCorp (yes, that is a joke), then by all means do that. If you want to call him a creative robber-baron, do that. If you want to say he's "like" a cult leader, do that. Those polyglot accusations, however, dilute any point you may have been trying to make.
Sorry for the 4-month delay in responding, but I actually did piss off as requested, and just now saw this comment. I'm confused. What is your working definition of polyglot?
In this case it refers to the varied and rambling accusations/diatribes of some douchebag who has nothing better to do with his life than to try to revive a FOUR-MONTH OLD argument he was having with a stranger- on Christmas Eve, no less- all because he's some worthless fuckwit who needs to talk shit about other people in order to feel worthwhile.
BTW- If you were as linguistically savvy as you think, you'd be aware of 'polyglot's' colloquial uses.
Easy there, tiger. I never claimed to be a linguist, and forgive me if I've never been introduced to the obviously rampant colloquial use of polyglot. First of all, I'm not "talking shit". I'm giving information. Second, a question: Do you make a general habit of hurtling insults at people you've never met? Third, I'm not sure you effectively used your prized "colloquial" version of the word polyglot. Fourth, alright, let's have it: which name-calling are you going to engage in now?
Woah woah woah... I thought you were arguing if Tim was a creule heartless Bastard or not... Not each others language skills... Anyway, continue... It's fun to watch
P>S Please don't drag me into this, I will open a can of 'Whoop-Ass' on you (Metaphoricly, of course)
Admit it- you misspelled cruel on purpose, didn't you? Sneaky, sneaky... XD
Didn't you know? That's what people do on "teh internets." On a certain level, there's always a relationship inferred between someone's literacy and their overall intellectual integrity. And specifically, the perception is often that poor language skills = poor thinking skills.
This actually makes sense in that this whole medium is based on language, so proficient use of it naturally takes on increased value...
RIIIGHT, because "true artists" don't need money to buy food or clothes. They also don't have any desire to ever own their own homes, or buy decent cars. "True artists" survive on art alone, and have none of the needs or desires of regular folks...EXCEPT Tim Delaughter, who makes a nice living tricking people like you into thinking he's a "true artist." Artists, YES even "true artists," need and want money just like everyone else. Join the real world, dude.
I'm old enough to remember moshing and crowd surfing to Tripping Daisy at small clubs around Dallas. I love the Spree because it reminds me of Daisy's skill at bringing the music to a frenzied crescendo. I hate the Spree because they always pull back from that peak and leave me with rock blue balls. It's beautiful music though. This song is really well crafted. Good job, Delaughter and Company.
Dude!! Awesome comment-they get right to the edge and then let off! You are so right on. But it's by design!! 2:10--2:30 I fee llike I'm on a roller-coaster! Without the vomit of course....

Sympathize with me cause here I am
Rolling on my head"
They look happy 2 me. My family is practicing Catholic and are more disturbing. At least they are all happy Except Tim who bear's the weight, but I still see a smile :) Beautiful song

I've known a few people who were in this band, and it IS very much like a cult. Everybody gets nicknamed, and that is what they're called by everyone in the band; the lead guy keeps the rights to everyone else's creative output and ideas and refers to himself in the third person as 'Daddy' to all the band members; the 'musicians' in the band get paid next to nothing, and they're told to jump around and smile or they'll be fired. Anyway, who cares? It's not like the songs are any good...

Explain 'MK' programming.
If you get the feeling I'm full of shit, it must be as a result of your sad devotion to this shallow experiment in pop-culture-opportunism.
Feelsfor 3 years ago
Well, you come on talking like an asshole to everybody & make groundless accusations about local musicians who are just 'doin their thing'. It's alright- it's completely normal for people who are confused by something to feel angry, fearful, or threatened by it.
Oh, & as for the MK programming- it's just too bad that you're not on the internet or anything- then you could just google it yourself like a big boy...
planetery 3 years ago
Accusations? Yes. Groundless? Well, thanks for giving me my best laugh of the day.
Feelsfor 3 years ago
Everything I said is absolutely, undeniably true. You are in the "don't want to believe bad things about my favorite band" group, so fine. Mostly, I just don't understand how this band gets any interest when there are groups like The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips, The Danielson Famile, Bjork's current touring ensemble, and Broken Social Scene out there making actual good art with true 'polyphony' and original ideas, as opposed to fast-food versions of the real thing.
Feelsfor 3 years ago
LOL- the Beach Boys haven't made any 'polyphonic' music since 1967.
You are an idiot.
All hail the 'indie' dork!

tim just happens to have many musically and vocally talented friends with which he wanted to create a sort of giant jam session/choir (hence the robes) and thats it he is no david koresh, jim jones, sun myung moon or anyone else he it a musically driven person who wanted to esperiment with the sound of alot of his talented musician friends thats it.
vitamin43 3 years ago
Well come up with some facts to prove it, Encyclopedia Brown.
I would wager that you don't have any since if you did, you'd have used them instead of just playing the 'smarter (ha) than thou' dickhead.
I've known Tim informally for over 15 years. A little weird, yeah, but definitely not Jim Jones. If you think that, then you obviously know fuck-all about cults OR music.
Anyway, why don't you piss off & go tease some kids or kick a puppy?
planetery 3 years ago
I understand that the Beach Boys haven't made any polyphonic music in the last 35 years or so. Their puniest effort from that period, in my opinion, is far more interesting than this music. Look man, I haven't laid out any hateful insults or dumped any emotional garbage on anyone here. That was you. You say you know Tim, fine. That doesn't change the fact that he has done a lot of shitty things to a lot of kind, talented people over the course of his career.
Feelsfor 3 years ago
I never said he was Jimmy Jones, nor did I say the band IS a cult. There are many similarities, however. Forcing everyone to sign a contract surrendering all intellectual property rights to Tim against the threat of being fired, leaving band members on the side of the road in foreign countries with no money, stealing ideas (for which he's had to settle out of court with former band members), leaving peoples' names out of the credits for albums they recorded on, etc., etc.

"I've known a few people who were in this band, and it IS very much like a cult."
Anyway, the biz stuff you've mentioned isn't any different from someone like James Brown or Frank Zappa. You're 0-2 here. Just stop.
planetery 3 years ago
"very much like a cult," NOT "is a cult." Zappa never treated anyone like that. He dropped people for missing cues or for showing up drunk and/or high. Zappa didn't need to steal ideas. There's no comparison there. Even if he HAD done that, it doesn't set a free-reign precedent for every bandleader that comes after him. Tim Delaughter is a megalomanical half-talent, but you like his music, and that's fine. Your taste for his music doesn't change who he is.
Pissing off,

you keep trying to validate your point by throwing out that you know previous band members and you kinda know tim. im majoring in psychology and thats one of the self validators you are using noone else believes you you are saying it to believe yourself you dont know anyone from the band so stop trying to validate you opinions by lying
vitamin43 3 years ago
Allow me to be the first person to report to you that majoring in Psychology does not necessarily equate to knowing a damn thing. If you want to check my facts, why don't you go to Good Records and ask Chris Penn, who has been Tim's little bitch for the last fifteen years. He manages Good Records for a little over $20,000/yr with no health benefits, while Tim and Julie just bought an enormous new house.
Feelsfor 3 years ago
Point is this: all of the facts I've cited can be checked. Why don't you go the source and do some of your own research before calling me a liar, based on some haphazardly applied concept from your undergraduate studies.
Feelsfor 3 years ago
Okay, now THAT is a valid complaint. If you want to take Tim to task as CEO of GoodCorp (yes, that is a joke), then by all means do that. If you want to call him a creative robber-baron, do that. If you want to say he's "like" a cult leader, do that. Those polyglot accusations, however, dilute any point you may have been trying to make.
planetery 3 years ago
Sorry for the 4-month delay in responding, but I actually did piss off as requested, and just now saw this comment. I'm confused. What is your working definition of polyglot?
Feelsfor 3 years ago
In this case it refers to the varied and rambling accusations/diatribes of some douchebag who has nothing better to do with his life than to try to revive a FOUR-MONTH OLD argument he was having with a stranger- on Christmas Eve, no less- all because he's some worthless fuckwit who needs to talk shit about other people in order to feel worthwhile.
BTW- If you were as linguistically savvy as you think, you'd be aware of 'polyglot's' colloquial uses.
FAIL.
planetery 3 years ago
Easy there, tiger. I never claimed to be a linguist, and forgive me if I've never been introduced to the obviously rampant colloquial use of polyglot. First of all, I'm not "talking shit". I'm giving information. Second, a question: Do you make a general habit of hurtling insults at people you've never met? Third, I'm not sure you effectively used your prized "colloquial" version of the word polyglot. Fourth, alright, let's have it: which name-calling are you going to engage in now?
Feelsfor 3 years ago
#1- No, you are, in fact, talking shit.
#2- We met before- four months ago when you first started talking said shit.
#3- If that is your almighty estimation then I am far from the only one.
#4- Just this one:
Later, TROLL.

Didn't you know? That's what people do on "teh internets." On a certain level, there's always a relationship inferred between someone's literacy and their overall intellectual integrity. And specifically, the perception is often that poor language skills = poor thinking skills.
This actually makes sense in that this whole medium is based on language, so proficient use of it naturally takes on increased value...

RIIIGHT, because "true artists" don't need money to buy food or clothes. They also don't have any desire to ever own their own homes, or buy decent cars. "True artists" survive on art alone, and have none of the needs or desires of regular folks...EXCEPT Tim Delaughter, who makes a nice living tricking people like you into thinking he's a "true artist." Artists, YES even "true artists," need and want money just like everyone else. Join the real world, dude.

I'm old enough to remember moshing and crowd surfing to Tripping Daisy at small clubs around Dallas. I love the Spree because it reminds me of Daisy's skill at bringing the music to a frenzied crescendo. I hate the Spree because they always pull back from that peak and leave me with rock blue balls. It's beautiful music though. This song is really well crafted. Good job, Delaughter and Company.
