TV On The Radio - Crying

[wbhyatt]

obviously anti-america, anti-capitalism, anti-society. kyp malone is the man

[PleiadianChannelSurf]

Lyrically unrivalled in portraying the state of the modern world. Amen Tunde, Amen.

[rhcp2345]

[SuperBrettoo]

[MrBaebel]

@SuperBrettoo : freezin' as sorbet....

[spolier]

Fucking hell! I feel a bit intimidated.,,

[Scullnblades]

RIP Gerard Smith - your talent will live on!!!

[FeldbergThePlayer]

You can't download this album, I bought it ages ago, by accident and it was one of the best albums I've ever owned, not for the music, I still haven't listened to the whole thing, it's the artwork. There's a fucking giant letter that comes with it, and they put so much effort into it that it would just be wrong to rob them like that.

[spolier]

@FeldbergThePlayer I'm no expert but I'm prepared to wager that you can actually download this album. (wink!)

[FeldbergThePlayer]

@spolier

Shh, I said "can't" as in "don't" lol

[Johnnieroq]

RIP Gerard smith

[cpenbau]

RIP Gerard Smith...sad day for music.



[Rhemphill11]

crazy, if you times the amount of views this thing has by 948,000. You get the amount of views Katy Perrys fireworks video has. HAHAHAaha, no its actually sad.

[FridayMortimer69]

7 people are Justin Bieber

[nirvana02019]

[JIMMYJEE]

@FridayMortimer69 Shut up you fucking idiot.

[FridayMortimer69]

@JIMMYJEE no thanks.

[dershed]

This is such always puts me in such a good mood! One of the best from one of my favorite albums.

[TheJurneyMan]

TV ON THE RADIO | NINE TYPES OF LIGHT | SPRING 2011

[ANAN0M0US]

7 people are just plain douches...

[fdsdarkgrunt]

WHY DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 150,000 VIEWS?!!!

[Crazyriders07]

This band set out on a ship for uncharted musical territory, and this is what they found. I am impressed.

[danrienstra]

Perfection 

[nfsmaniac03]

I prefer New Health Rock or Wolf Like Me.

[therealwillgant]

Mary and David smoke dung in the trenches!

[xrockthe40ozx]

YES

[iCecilJackson]

best album ever made?

[MrAndrejcic]

TVOTR... you are my favorite music of this century...

Thanks from Zagreb, Croatia. 

[Theoron30]

I just lost my $hit aging every-time I hear this, got me crying...

[xXjonesXx666]

@juanmiguel4459 hmmmm... i ALSO happen to use to be in the guthrie thing =P love this song, love randy!!!

[Itspossible2011]

good stuff!

[Su810]

They are dat ish nuff said

[Su810]

They are dat ish nuff said

[XFrostmaneX]

Yeah, what Djneedle83 said.

[Djneedle83]

Come on people-- TV on the Radio has been around for about a decade now. They are on hiatus for the time being, but expect their next studio to kick ass as usual.

[theFriendlyHughes]

Two black guys and one white guy = OREO COOKIE MUSICAL GENIUS! I discovered this song a few days ago - it's awesome.

[toblerusse]

@theFriendlyHughes this whole album might possibly alter the course of your life. try to get your hands on it. its called Dear Science.

[Ftothekman]

I wouldn't say that but it is damn good music.

[TheMisfitSociety]

@theFriendlyHughes It's three black guys and one white guy btw....

[Finkster5]

I love how there's one white guy. That must be awkward. =D

[RagnorokKnight]

These guys are just fucking amazing... And from me who comes from more of an alternative hip-hop, soul backround I'm damn impressed that they've started to get me intrested in rock (the fact that they they sorta blend the previous genres stated, doesn't hurt either). AND THEY'RE BLACK! AWESOME!

[pelam1234]

the lead singer of this band was sooo funny in the movie "Jump Tomorrow". Anyone else seen it?

[gupton92]

Yeah, I saw it. Really good movie.

[bghy258]

This kinda sound like Republic of Loose... I like!!

[nikki10111]

first time listening to this band..im just amazed. they're amazing

[RhCpStUd]

the best band out there period.

[StringQuartetFan]

@RhCpStUd one word-muse. you stand corrected.

[izzardie]

This song epitomizes everything awesome about TV on the Radio. Funky, soulful, with a pounding bassline. Layers upon layers of sounds which only a band of geniuses would think to put together. Then as the song fades out, they strip layer by layer, and you're hearing things you didn't realize you were hearing for a couple of minutes already. Listening to this band can be an exercise.

[looshkin66]

Sir,

You have taken the words right from my mouth.....

[underted]

@izzardie - yep, nicely put... I love the way the singer blends the words together...I know what I mean anyway...like a stream, nice breath control!!!

[MrsChocapica]

Great song! Congratulations men!!!!

[acrosstheuniverse185]

i <3 tvontheradio

[edgebono2]

ayyyyy!!!!!!! pero qué buena rolaaaa!!!! WUUUUUU! estos morenos si que se la rifan ehhh!!!!

[mililaniguy]

I'm no fan of TVOTR. I'm trying to listen to lots of their music to see what they're about. Definitely not into their music, but I do think this song is kinda cool.

[MGNSketchpad]

Don't be rude. They have their opinion, they can share it if they want.

[ClassToGym]

THere are some songs that catch my attention and some that dont'... listen to these:

1. Staring at the Sun

2. DLZ

3. Shout Me Out

4. Wolf Like Me

and see if you like those

[dowling1981]

Please control their violence

[frgilliesj]

It's a great song. I wish there was a strong video to back it up. I guess I-Tunes will have to support it as usual.

[thasuspect]

What an amazing song! I heard this song on the radio for the longest time and the next thing I'm doing is buying this!

[kelbygene]

Genius. I heard this song on the PBS radio 2 days after the cd was released.

[schvrky]

Definitely the best song on Dear Science, album. The final chorus is just amazing. Could listen to this track all over the time. TV On The Radio rocks!

[carazyc]

this song has a soulfull funk to it eh.

[alexarockstar]

omfg this song is so good. i heard it in pacsun when i was trying on clothes and its been bothering me since that day because i didnt know what song this was

[musicdls]

you can get the album at

musikdownloads(dot)blogspot(do­t)com

[abw82]

This album is too good to pirate.

[focagirl]

haha good point

[BGH122]

@abw82 Pirate it and pay for it too. That way you get all the awesomeness of the band minus the DRM/nagware.

[CrashingCymbal]

@abw82 It's a pity i realised that after i did so :(

[TheReckoner007]

@abw82 eh. Too bad I'm about to. Can't wait for another trip to the CD shop, I'll buy another of theirs, seems fair.

[livinglegend32s]

seein them next thurs. great group, album, and song

[WaysOfTheMaster]

House of Blues boston. HELL YEAH me too!

[TerrorByteMRD]

Amazing show! So glad I went.

[alexandrabush]

this song is fucking awesome, tvotr are the motha fuckin bee's knees and this album is one of the best of 2008 along with oracular spectacular. i'm seeing them live tmrw so piss off Sophista-cunt cause you're killing my buzz..

[ThinFinn]

This just makes me think of Flight of the Conchords and i can't stop smiling.

[jonnystealth]

They really have carved out a unique sound is what I think.

[hektopekto]

awesome song

[benh100]

sounds like the flight of the conchords lol

[Stoptakingmynamek]

Hahaha dude your so right this sounds just like Flight of the Conchords haha crack up

[BarneyB123]

Lol it really does. I can't take the song seriously at all.

[ladymosconi]

I'm crying for you, Daniele.

[Jowind]

this is one of my least favorite songs on the album but i still love it like mad.

[vidgamer77]

The whole "And Mary and David..." segment is one of the funniest moments in music history. Song is hillarious.

[jjpazguevara]

You have got to love that guitar riff!

Got you cryyyying!

[xnatey]

Flipping amazing :D

Dear Science is like a wild tsunami of energy flowing into my ears :P

[joru100]

this is a hot track. it takes a few listens to appreciate it.

[gonzalo28z]

Sophistaphunk you sucks anyway! (=

[benirobo]

everyone is going for it on the comments. chill out ay. buzzing tune

[Ishatawk]

Hehe. That would be "ludicrous", unless you're referring to the rap artist.

[Rockabilly500]

"sense" not "since"

You do know there is no such thing as a "shitty" (which is a "juvenile and sophmoric" word in itself) song in any genre except rap and hip-hop?

[ChameleonPISCES]

Dude that's not fair for you to say that. I'm pretty sure you wouldnt want anyone judging what you listen to, especially negatively. I must admit there are crappy music in the rap and hip-hop industry but there are also good ones. Just like with rock Im pretty sure there are good bands and horrible bands.

[Hzqi]

The world was more fun when everybody was territorial about the genre they decided defined them. And nothing else could even be consider music. Well, it was more fun for me, anyway.

Everyone had to go and get pseudoenlightened, and appreciate that things they don't like might actually be good. But there is fun to be had in the way that the same mentallity becomes apologist for EVERYTHING that exists. Now most people still pick limits, but apply a sweep of tolerance by genre. Tolerance, gah!

[d3p3ch3mod3]

Hip hop and rap is also pretty good and so is country. They both tend to have pretty good singers and production/mastering

[TokinBloke]

Yeah i beg to differ. I have learned throughout my life to appreciate and accept all music, because i know where it has come from and evolved into. Saying rap is "shitty" is an ignorant statement and is unfair on how those artists were brought up to express themselves. (I'm relating this to the real rap, being from brooklyn, etc). Expand your horizons and you'll appreciate music more.

Oh yeah and TV on the radio is the best band. End of.

[ZaneSylliboy00]

Ugh I love this song! I'm so glad I bought this album. I never knew who they were, but Dear Science was named the album of the year by so many magazines and stuff. I love it! "Crying" and "Family Tree" are my favorites. But I love 'em all.

And this is coming from a huge Britney fan. hahah

[acousticriffer]

i mean i guess its cool that you got this up, but why is it that some music files are totally ok to use without expressed consent, yet others get censored by youtube...i smell fascism.

[cmacl10]

i could be wrong but i think the american shows are a lot harsher than any other, i cant find any snl on here but there is so much jools holland ???????

[acousticriffer]

im not talking about shows. I'm talking about the music files. Like, I uploaded a video of a jar of peanut butter and a song by the Roots. I later find out htat youtube has kept the video up but edited out the music content because they say its copyright infringement. I just don't understand why youtube will let some people (like this person - no direspect to the uploader) put up a flagrant public display of this copyrighted material (illegal) yet i couldn't use it in an artistic sense. lame.

[dkallisti]

depends on who bitches. apparently TVOTR's label either doesn't know, doesn't care, or knows this is perfect publicity.

It is beneficial to keep this on YouTube, for I am permitted to introduce someone who may possibly purchase several tickets to a show, and a couple of t-shirts while they're at it.

[acousticriffer]

i totally agree and I love TV on The Radio, its just slightly annoying that I can't post music in the background of an artistic video, yet someone can blatantly pirate the music. Its not on you, its totally on youtube who selectively decides.

[zipppit89]

Undeniably

[gonzalo28z]

Sophistaphunk you sucks !

(=

[Sophistaphunk]

I'm a very open-minded music fan. I can listen to weirdest Bjork songs and tolerate them fine. But, I honestly don't understand how people "really" like this song. It's dull and boring, and the vocals are so out of tune and unbearable that I can't tell if the singer is being comical or serious. TVOTR is a very talented band, but this song is atrocious and embarrasing. The chorus especially makes me cringe.

[arcadefire21]

ONE WORD FOR YOU...POSER!!!

[Sophistaphunk]

You guys are pathetic at times.

[RSManaana]

Commenting on maturity and arguing on the internet at the samee time, yum.

[acousticriffer]

you are obviously not that open minded.

[Sophistaphunk]

Are you serious? I listen to everything, ok. This song is garbage- it's as simple as that...

[acousticriffer]

well with such refined music tastes as "everything" i guess there is no way to argue with that. although i do agree with arcadefire21, you my friend...are a poser.

[compcommie]

whenever you open a sentence with "i'm an open minded person but..." it means your not. stop trying to convince yourself that you are open minded and start being open minded. to be honest, i hated this album when it first came out, but i took the time to listen to it and i love it now.

[powersoulboy]

Totally agree, this track sounds like Prince's Lovesexy album, even the guitar is early Prince.

For a few moments they also sound like Terence Trent D'arby first album or some other Prince alumns.

Best album of the year no doubt.

[thefonkykid]

Early Prince.

Love it!

[saxonsnowredux]

best album of 08. 'acid tongue' by jenny lewis, 'you & me' by the walkmen, and a few others right up there as well.

[Sophistaphunk]

Beautiful album, but this is definitely the WORST song on it.

[arimelon]

This song is spectacular! Are you joking?!

[crosswalkernie]

pablojc, are you honestly accusing TV On the Radio of ripping off European artists?

Wow, you're really stupid.

[oscarwilde30]

this band is on SNL next week.

[shreddineverett2009]

TV on the Radio....Best Band of all Time....Go listen to some Salsa there Pablo

[pablojc]

American music is dead ... since a long time ago. Sorry but this is my opinion.

And when I hear this bands trying to imitate the european (or british) sound it's even worse.

[MysteriousTraveler]

This band in no way sounds British or European.

They are from where all good things come from, Brooklyn.

[snewt]

could you a bit more specific? what British or European bands do you see TVOTR "ripping off"?

[blackmyles]

I'm addicted to this song!

[Imlistenin09]

This album needs more views, such a skilled band!

[bluelou822]

Nothing better in 2008 except maybe Evil Urges

[dzonny26]

Boring as hell. They are overrated.

[schwarav]

If you think this is boring, I'd hate to hear the music you don't think is boring....

[ringfu]

best album of 08 without a doubt!! they are so underrated!! not one grammy nomination!!!

[canalcaveira]

grammys are for coldplay and alicia keys..fuck it

everyone should go and see TVOTR live

[AmadeusD]

yeah, but Wax Simulacra has been nominated, which beats the hell out of anything off this album..

[ringfu]

mars volta had their better days, still, omar is one of the best guitarrists out there right now, great band live. still!!

TVOTR- Dear Science, best album of 2008!!!!

[AmadeusD]

fair enough......I personally liked Bedlam more, and just havn't found myself pulling this one out as often....IN having said that, the last few years have been almost totally dry musicwise for me.

[ringfu]

right there with you!! music business is really slow right now, record labels are not taking any risks, hopefully this year we have some good ones.

[Kornerchief]

YEEEEES:)

[sorrytobreakittoya]

very nice.

[AlbertMondback]

So sweet.

[bluemonkjd]

Funky, dark, and transcendent at the same time. The whole record hasn't completely grown on me like Return to Cookie Mountain did yet, but this is suddenly my favorite TVOTR song all the same.

[diamondeye91]

if radiohead were black...

[dyllypickles]

ahaha. true.

[usf123456789]

exactly

[CHErevolucion1]

they'd be ten times better if they were black. just imagine. haha just kidding. TVOTR and Radiohead should collaborate on an album.

[dsrecs]

umm the lead singer is black... idk if that was a joke or not.

[thedramasummer43]

whats so funny about him being black? most of the band is

[dsrecs]

he said they would be ten times better if they were black.. but I guess he was joking.

[adagio2054]

they sort of are...

[thefonkykid]

That's why is natural that Prince cover Radiohead, he did this sound 25 years ago.

If you want experimental electronic funk, listen to Prince's Controversy, 1999 or Lovesexy, these 3 were a big inlfuence on TVOTR.

[Dysis420]

Wow. Thanks guys. I heard this on Edge and I didn't get the name and seeing your comments saved me a lot of searching. So Rock on to that. And this is my first reply ever so feel proud. lol

[jmlant]

i also heard allan cross going on about them so decided to check them out and loved it, very mgmt and radiohead-like but still unique

[CHErevolucion1]

oracular spectacular and dear science--- two best records in 08 in my mind

[BentHenny]

Good taste! Any more you feelin this year?

[schwarav]

Evil Urges - My Morning Jacket..another good album from 08

[harnesspages]

Agreed... love that album.

[camilo605]

yyeeaahh Oracular Spectacular and The Seldom Seed the KId by Elbow

[deviled2]

Listened to it first on 102.1 the edge (radio station in toronto) great band :D

[2Feet1Wheel]

haha, same, just heard it on the edge.

[supertrackxc]

I saw them @ SPAC a year ago and as the set came to an end the sun was setting, Tunde was facing the sun and then began to encore with "Staring at the Sun" probably the most brilliant show I've seen. I wish I coulda caught them in BKYN, unfortunately I have to work during the week.

[SoCalSoulStar]

Awesome group.. As musicians and as people!

[outbenchthis]

thanks for uploading!!!!

[ji718]

I love this song. Just saw them last week in Brooklyn- what a good show!
