Blitzen Trapper: Black River Killer (official)

[patermann1]

Jaram się tą piosenką> POLAND :D

[tavanweerd]

I think I just found one of my new favorite bands.

[TheJohal12]

This has nowhere near enough views as it should

[tavanweerd]

@TheJohal12 I think we can fix that.

[SarahBearah333]

Don't use the word "Oregon" in a song if you don't know how to say it :P... It is NOT Orey-gone... no ee sound or "gone" sound.

[JamesCliftonWright]

@SarahBearah333

yeah, next time change it to "a place where pretentious shit heads who don't understand a fun structure in your vocals are from"

Thanks! Oregon forever!

[SarahBearah333]

@JamesCliftonWright

That's better than Orey-gone :P

[Santimor007]

@DrossRotzank

¡Te arrestaron en este video! jaja.

[bornforcreate5]

nice!!!



[keystonedking]

However, I'll grant you that I do respect Mr. Khalifa a little more after hearing that he digs this song.. too bad it won't reflect his "party hard and waste tons of money on booze and gank" persona.

[Animalchemy18]

thumbs up if you have thumbs!

(thumbs down if you don't)



[Hayden1911]

2:06 the TV host and the cowboy switched sides since last time

[Reddirtgirl55Again]

New to me, I like it.

[jewstinfrobush]

all the other blitzen trapper songs are from like the 80s...

[thefuzzbuzzmuzzcuzz]

@jewstinfrobush 80's music is good! xDD

[SButle1]

the music video creeps me out, but other than that, the song is great!!

[Festiburt]

thank you so much Original Skateboards for sending me here. this is amazing <3

[lonliestdayofmylyfe]

This guy is clearly the incarnate of Bob Dylan.

[speedaddict7]

This song reminds me of another one. Especially at :30. Anyone have any idea?

[stevenhill987]

@speedaddict7 Cats in the cradle, Harry Chapin?

[shawty5002]

@speedaddict7 It reminds me of "Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty

[shawty5002]

@speedaddict7 It reminds me of "Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty

[DarkNero878]

I am scared

[whiteh64]

I love this song, but this video is so morbid

[flameboy1217]

I really like the sound of this band and especially this song does anyone know of anymore bands with a sound like this one because I just can't enough of it. Such deep lyrics and simple sounds that just flow together flawlessly.

[thefuzzbuzzmuzzcuzz]

@flameboy1217 Sun Kil Moon.

Damien Rice is good too. |(Listen to Prague)P

[AGhost17]

thanks original!!!!!!!!!!(:



[Xrock03]

They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit

A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute

what a lyric!

[mrjario1247]

all i got to say is great song nd i love it(:

[RighteousPsycho]

Why does it say 'stole me a horse' then show him riding a motor cycle?

[ElleGraceKelly]

@RighteousPsycho *Stole me a stone horse  thats what they called motorcycles XD

[Shakeyj100]

@RighteousPsycho irony? more like stole me a hog!

[RighteousPsycho]

@Shakeyj100 Nope, google the lyrics and you'll see every site says 'stole me a horse'.  And that wasn't irony.

[GreenRandomGuy]

@RighteousPsycho The lyrics are awesome. They use horse instead of motorcycle, My favourite part though is when he sings "The sheriff let me go, with a knife and a song" which i interpretate as the sheriff screamed when he was stabbed by the murderer, so he could go free.

[RighteousPsycho]

@GreenRandomGuy Ah, i didn't think of that. Yes, that makes sense. My favourite part is when he sings ' you know that black river water is as black as sin'. It just sounds reall nice on the ears and i suppose it could be saying that he cannot wash away his sins, as it is already full of sin. It's a shame people don't hear songs with actual meaning to them in the charts anymore.

[PERAGR0]

@RighteousPsycho Iron Horse

[Tmoney7653]

i had the privilege of seeing blitzen trapper and deer tick in the same concert, both put on a great show

[1Lindsey1B]

Great filming (:

[zrg1993]

i want more songs like this. songs that tell dark stories in this semi-folk/country way, help anyone?

[ElWeebo99]

@zrg1993 'Deer Tick' - A bit more rock but a whole lot of folk.

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

Okay so we have:

- Great music

- Great lyrics

- Great video

What more could you ask for?

:)

[R193L1]

good shit

[lilrizq]

Wiz Khalifa said that this song is 1 of his favorite tracks that his fans would be suprised that he listens to.

[kingcahoj]

@lilrizq

Kingcahoj said that lilrizq is a douchebag and nobody gives a fuck what comes out of your fuckmouth.

[lilrizq]

@kingcahoj i don't respond to fan account click members who have no uploads on their homepage. go add another favorite to your account my dude.

[keystonedking]

@lilrizq Fuck Wiz Khalifa. He ain't never shot a man down at the edge of town.

[lilrizq]

@keystonedking that's because he's too busy being number 11 on Forbes Rap Millionaires list. now that's way more gangsta then shooting a man on the edge of town. smh... kids nowadays.

[keystonedking]

@keystonedking Sorry, but overpaid rappers don't impress me. And I'm pretty familiar with Wiz - he's pretty weak lyrically. Bone Thugs, Pac, Hopsin - all far superior rappers. But this is all irrelevant.

[fender284]

@lilrizq Lol I don't even have to say anything. They already did.



[ehdvUNC]

@lilrizq Where'd you read that about Wiz Khalifa?

[lilrizq]

@ehdvUNC he said it in a interview. can't remember the link though.

[maddogx55]

why would the prison give him a gun....

[SnowboardFranz7]

best song in Don't Panic by Isenseven!

[Asteele44]

cool as hell.

[One564]

Finally a song without a horrible bridge

[det414]

12 people live dull and boring lives

[jessiegee11]

Absolutely perfect song, and absolutely perfect video. I really don't see how either one could be any better.

[ebbase03]

YES

[Aamonath]

woah....that is all.

[tastelikedillonbacon]

this is possibly the best song ever.

[Frankyloon]

thumbs up if you just came here because of Isenseven :)

[Danieeeification]

my boobs hurt

[yonolanyo]

"then i stole me a horse and I rode it around"

[cagdas1931]

new obsession

[countcoco]

A little reminiscent to Tom Petty.

[pSyTRieLLa]

perfect song <3

In love

[vususn]

next LP to buy for me!

[21Meisi]

great song! 

[huntermaui]

@mike94pietrobon So every single folk song sounds like bob dylan? This song is amazing dont try to make it anything but.

[midnightriderchevy]

One of my favorite more recently released songs.

[sHeaK777]

damn good - nothing more to say

[Rogerfederer1992]

ISENSEVEN DONT PANIC!!!!!

[TrilobiteFilms]

so... serial killers are people too. okay.

[mike94pietrobon]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone else that sounds so EXACTLY like Bob Dylan. Really it's not a good thing, they should try to do their own stuff and not try to sound like Bob Dylan.

[derelict08]

@mike94pietrobon ur an idiot...u should try shutting up

[mike94pietrobon]

@derelict08 Are you really going to tell me the vocals don't sound like Bob Dylan? this guy sounds exactly like him. I listen to folk music constantly and what I listen to is really original, like Fleet Foxes. Now this is a good song, but the singer seems to be trying too hard to sound like Bob Dylan, and you can't deny that fact.

[shagadelic215]

@mike94pietrobon i agree he does have a similar voice

[S0XF0X]

@mike94pietrobon Hey sounds like Bob Dylan if Bob Dylan could hold a note ;)

[MandibleMuge]

@mike94pietrobon His voice is a tad similar, but the style is totally different... I love Bob Dylan, and I think this guy is doing something quite different.

[stevePHXD]

@mike94pietrobon Yes I easy can deny that claim, I've heard people TRY to sound like biob dylan and A. it doesn't sound like vocals in this song and B. it almost always sounds bad. This band is Awesome tho.

[fatkidinabucket]

i have never seen a video do so much justice to the lyrics of a song... brilliant!

[harlandwirth]

I think really great songs tell a story. Whether that means literally like this song or vicariously but it touches us on a deeper level...if we listen to the tale being sown.

[clooky04]

i could make this song into another song.

[ripsyd]

@clooky04 do it up!

and send me a copy or a link when you do!

[lonliestdayofmylyfe]

So according to recent statistics, Out of every 658 People, 11 Are Retarded.

[LongBoardAndDubstep]

@lonliestdayofmylyfe

less than that now

[yosemitesaddam]

best song Ive heard in a while

[debautcherie666]

A great song from a great band! I love it!!!

[kstroe]

reminds me of old tom petty...good stuff

[musicchick85]

when? oh when? will the keys to the kingdom be mine again??

[goochanator]

this song is the bee's knees but I can't decide whether this one or the man who would speak true is my go to blitzen trapper fleeing felon song

[TheHedLssTh0Ms0nGunR]

The best new band out there right now by my standards

Now I know that good songs are being written

[b0st0n20]

god, this just gets better everytime i hear it.

[Zyphindra]

How the heck can 11 people give this a thumbs down!? HOW COULD ANYBODY??????????

[janma2]

They played a excellent performance at Bonnaroo with this as the  opener........ poor guys were sweltering in the heat with us.

[CSISA]

@janma2 that Bonnaroo performance made me into a fan.

[Aquainferno2]

amazing how much he sounds like Tom Petty

[forbes1905]

wonder if the audience in masks represents our indoctrinated society.the way we are conditioned to find entertainment in atrocities. idk maybe im seeing more into it than it represents, but thats what it seems to say to me. in any case great song and video. thanks

[HappyWithSocks]

Sounds like Eli the Barrow Boy by the Decemberists.

[VKMTkitty]

I tried lookin it up under Tom Petty an found nothin. are you sure thats Petty?

[MarcoEsquand0las]

I think someone mislabeled this Tom Petty song as "Blitzen Trapper". Better get on fixing that.

[averunks]

Any thoughts as to what the lyric "when will the key to the kingdom be mine again?" means? I have a few ideas, but I'd like to hear some input :)

[TheInnerMonkey]

@averunks going to heaven rather than hell?

[slh1089]

@averunks pretty sure thats refering to the question if he will ever be a clean soul again.

[averunks]

@slh1089 Yeah...that's definitely insightful and makes perfect sense. Thank you

[Thunder029]

@averunks He's talking about 'heaven's gate' ... the keys to the kingdom (of heaven)

[MrRyoungs]

boring. give me the legends any day of the week.

[OnoOvoOno]

the guy who is writing the stuff, eric earley, is destined to be in the songwriter hall of fame one day

[Ceh000]

There coming to Spokane.. think i need to go..

[jessedan2]

this song could actually be made into a movie

[jessedan2]

i just keep watching this video over and over again

[jessedan2]

this video is absolutely amazing

[adamp21690]

Is that Chris Farley at 0:44?

[ShistaMista666]

@adamp21690

definitely. I mean it's not like he's been dead for the last 13 years.

[jesse9283]

lol no

[Nitroxide]

@adamp21690 looks like Andy Richter to me

[CouveTJ]

THIS VIDEO IS SO AWESOME!!! Finally a music video does respect to a great song...It's been a while since I have been into a music video so much!!

[OnoOvoOno]

video of the decade

[zebrakidd]

wow that talkshow host reminds me sooo much of chris farley!!! :/ i miss that mothafucka. but i can't get enough of this song just like i can't enough farley!

[meljhand]

Great song! Love me some Blitzen Trapper!

[PeachyInPDX]

Such a good song!

[Sunday0nMonday]

reminds me of snoop hah

[ilovepancakes24]

favorite song!

[Bjoobs1995]

I think it kind of sounds like Bob Dylan...but whatever...

[Mr3gg]

@Bjoobs1995 No.. Just no. This is okay too but way more polished than Bob would ever (want to) sound

[jshaaan87]

hmm i always wondered what the song meant when it said the sheriff let him go, I imagined he used him as his own personal hitman, the video just had to kill him!

[Goflocasuals]

We're a new band hailing from The Ville, on the borders of Boston. We only have lo-fi recordings, but check out our page please! (This is a great song)

[ROCKYMARCIANOXX0]

Awe, brilliant stuff, chuffed to bits i've discovered these guys!! good stuff.

[JohnnyLeyenda]

First song I hear from this band.

Definitely gonna hear them all.

[trepimgr]

Shame it is takin so long for them to get the exposure they deserve. Nice work

[TheCortexTube]

Epic

[CoonBabble]

@TheCortexTube fuck epic. what are you a gamer?

[TheCortexTube]

@CoonBabble What, just look at my videos and you will know I am, just saying, this song is good. Do you have a problem with that?

[kstroe]

@CoonBabble are you an asshole?

[CoonBabble]

@kstroe are you a zit covered shitface gamer

[kstroe]

@CoonBabble fish tanks and remote control cars are sooooo cool... it's so exciting when the fish store has new corals or just gets in a fresh shipment of fish. Then you can go there and talk with all of the other cool fish tank people and pretend you know so much about stuff and you can all start acting like you know more than the next guy. Then you can go home and cry because you don't really have any friends.... just sayin.

[CoonBabble]

@kstroe they're called hobbies.... don't know what you do with your free time. video games? i also road bike, mountain bike, and kayak. is there a problem with those things too? have fun, stay inside, the sun and being active might hurt you.

[kstroe]

@CoonBabble they're called being a nerd... I don't do much with my spare time except travel the world and experience different cultures... but then when I'm enjoying a video on youtube and I notice a guy that's pretending he's cool, I then remind him that he is not.

[CoonBabble]

@kstroe im not planning on wasting much more energy on this, but ill end on saying i just got back from an 11 day trip to greece on may 22nd with my college. my interests are very spread out, but those are the two hobbies ive put on you tube, and if you look at the dates on the videos, most are quite old. thanks for your concern for me being a nerd, but its not quite the case. id give you my name so you could see all of the people in my life, but why do you deserve that? this is my final reply

[kstroe]

@CoonBabble haha... no worries dude, it was fun while it lasted... take it easy and it was all in good fun... but it's nice to not sit there and try to make fun of someone that made an innocent comment about liking this song, take it easy next time before making harsh comments to seemingly nice people cuz it honestly makes you seem like a jerk, unless that's what you want

[maddogx55]

@CoonBabble @kstroe

lol you both suck

[McKIllaG5]

I think this video is really creative with it's transitions. And this is a great song.

[RayKoenig999]

SO GOOD!

[Philly2002]

Freeze it at 0:19... wtf?

[torrentialday]

um, didn't you listen to the lyrics of the song? thats a picture of the opening lyric. "Her mouth sewn shut but her eyes still wide"

[TheCortexTube]

omg

[PretendYoureAnOwl]

niice

[thetimweavershow]

this is a very nice retro song

[jerekornder]

Is that talk show guy supposed to be Conan O'Brien? I love CoCo. And Blitzentrapper

[kidrodelo5]

when I saw the hair bouncin I thought the same thing

[memeli120]

ikr liz does listen 2 gud musik rite?????????? yuh but umm jd mumble yeah ummm..sorry HAHAHHA lol

[stoneylobster]

lots of potiential but they ruined it with monotone voice, no solo, and chorus is boring as hell. They need a good hook.

[comet6604]

@stoneylobster

You should be banned from commenting on any other music video. So are you telling me that every song Johnny Cash sang is ruined because of his monotone voice?? Your trying to make it sound like you know what your talking about when you really dont know shit about music specialy if you think every rock song needs a solo. This isnt the 80's anymore.

[mmayhem14]

cant stop listening to this one, ipods forever on repeat

[xXTheCalculusManXx]

fucking amazing.

[stoneylobster]

Chorus??

[68theruth]

@stoney lobster

if you dont realize what is being used as the refrain here, you are really ignorant at recognizing words or remembering things for more than 5 secs. Also,  if you need the most basic "rock song" structure to define your music, you're missing out on a lot.

[shesaid777]

this video and song is so fucking good it NEEDS 5million views wtf!!!!!!!

[nuttybuddybarr]

i saw it after tha liz show as well

[pigd1666]

@nuttybuddybarr Glad I am not the only one! MTV is still god for finding good music I think. Blitzen Trapper is proof.

[Philly2002]

FUCK mtv bullshit

[pigd1666]

@Philly2002 Fuck it. I still like it.

[sickwidit213187]

and another after liz, this song is coo
