  • I pulled up this song, and then realized i was already playing this album in itunes. lol.

  • super! czemu tego nie ma w Polsce!!!??

  • i dont understand why this guy doesnt get more recognition for his songs ,he is clearly a lyrical genuis.

  • ...I find it highly offensive that it took me years to hear of this band. Why they aren't on prime time radio should be a crime.

  • this is fuckin awesome

  • I <3 this band :)

  • Great Band!!!

    

  • These guys kick ass and are one of the best bands to bless my ears in years.

  • This song is so amazing! Definitely one of my favorites off the album!

  • The broken bells are nothing compared to the shins! I WANT YOU BACK SHIIIIIINS! oh and for those of you that think this comment is random its not, the singer for the broken bells was the singer for the shins before they broke on.

  • @TheWarhammerfreak This song is actually really reminiscent of the Shins in my opinion, And Broken Bells > never hearing james mercer's voice post-shins-breakup.

  • if you enjoy broken bells, you may enjoy orgies. its that orgasmic

  • So if you want to follow me you should know i was lost then and im lost now and i doubt ill never now which way to go.

  • vaporize? ok!

  • Thank you pandora and all FIFA games for letting good music live on.

  • I wish I had cool enough toking buddies who actually feel the kinda music that I feel, especially when Im high as funk :) My friends are fuckin rank listening to the shittiest hip hop n rap now a days, they just cant take a chance to listen to real music.

  • best smoking song

  • inspirational. i dont wanna waste anymore time ever agaain.

  • @boxford92 Its about smoking weed haha

  • love this band :)

  • A great song that every adult can relate to. We are all told when we are kids that we are special and that we can do whatever we want, when in reality, most of us are going to end up like regular jack-offs... living paycheck to paycheck, taking care of kids, drink an occasion beer and then die with heart full of regret. But it doesn't have to be that way... there is always an escape and takes an immense amount of courage to take it.

  • @Tavera12 cuz we are all fukin slaves to money then just like the song sweet symphony by the verve so fuck who cares have fun and enjoy life we only got a few years to live lol

  • this song is fat

  • Amazing song!

  • who plays the trumpet in this song, they do it so beautifully well!

  • @jaimemusique99  im pretty sure its same dude that plays keys for them.

  • @alexbenesh nate walcott

  • I think its their best song. Bought their album on a total punt, not expecting a great deal. Turns out its actually exceptionally good..... we just need another from them!!

  • haha. careful what you say, you might piss a million people off. 

  • Btw love the song!

  • Soo there's this spot on the album art that looks like a smudge.. I spent half the song trying to wipe it off my I pod. Haha

  • @555salt OMFG DIDO

  • xavier de le rue has an epic big mountian vid with this song

  • great snowbording song

  • 1:46 was ultimately badass

  • 21 people should be vaporized.

  • @BassmanisBA LOL!

  • oo llleyy FUCK! Is this fuckin great or what? sounds like sex to my ears... Its not too late, to feel a little more alive! i beleive god wrote this song

  • Comment removed

  • I vaporized the shit out of my friend when he said he didn't like this song.

  • i can just melt to this..... it's sooooo awsome

  • Comment removed

  • What amounts to a dream anymore?

  • @IntellectualSlacker i read this as he said that :D

  • hahaha, at rolling stone: #1 Stoner Song. Haha!

  • Just listen to the lyrics and realize that not only does this band have genius sounds, but a genius meaning behind the song

  • 18 people must be deaf and stupid! Broken Bells are just plain awesome!! :-)

  • best tune

  • everyone dangermouse makes beats for always has the best lyrics too like ceelo green when they were in gnarls barkley or even when he did the album dark night of the soul

  • @imnosupernun and modern guilt with beck, as well as replica sun machine with the shortwave set

  • Its looking good for the human race. The ratio of those with souls to those without is about 1092 to 18, I can live with that.

  • @YouGotGunYouGotGun

    So you're saying since I really enjoy this song I have a soul?? A bit egocentric...

  • @YouGotGunYouGotGun So 60-1, you gotta simplify bro.

  • @theworlddrifter22 I think he did that so people understood where he got the numbers from

  • @theworlddrifter22 We afford to do that alegbra stuff, we trying to keep our souls not lose it by thinking about school.

  • hell no!

  • Listen to October by the Broken Bells!!!!!!

  • I love this

  • I'm thinking about making this my theme song. Everyone should have a theme song

  • I fell for the shins, and then for this brilliant pair. I only hope they both can come out with new music for 2011!!!!!

  • @dryfly808 i hear they're coming out with an ep soon :)

  • @nickys15

    Counting the days!!!

    

  • @dryfly808 me too!! i only discovered broken bells a few months ago, and i only have a few songs (the high road, vaporize, and the ghost inside). Would you recommend buying the whole album dryfly808?

  • @nickys15 Yes!

  • @IIandroidII got the whole album a few days ago...love it!!!

  • @nickys15 Love Broken Bells !!

  • Comment removed

  • Danger mouse and the dude from the shins makes for an ear-gasim for the ages!

  • dislike this comment... like the song.

  • love 1:32

  • Make an escape before we start to vaporize! AWESOME!!

  • Danger Mouse is a beast !!!

  • Where's The Chapstick?!

  • I bought this album on vinyl.... best purchase ever

  • DAMNNNNNNN funky sexuality of Danger Mouse pumped into the spacey dream that is The Shins= one enormous orgasm of musical genius!!!! ohhhhhhhhhh yeah

  • I don't know if I love more The Shins or Broken Bells... and you?

  • @MissDelicia87 I feel like sometimes they just make me wish i was listening to the shins... kinda like broken bells almost does it for me, where as the shins do it for me

  • @MissDelicia87 I like brokens bells WAY better. I don't even really like the shins.

  • @FizikzNotPhorce good!... more Shins for me.

  • Really like these guys. its nice to hear some good music on the radio again.

  • best bit 1.31 - 1.50

  • This whole album is amazing! I'm not surprised that it is nominated for a Grammy...I hope it wins. btw, you can get the album for only $5 on Amazon this month!!

  • they need to get ther bells fixed

  • @waitummwhat haha dos thumbs up for that one

  • I just got their album this month.. I love it.. its going into my favourite classic album.

    I can see myself listening to this album few years from now and still be amazed how great they are.. Expecially music today, with a the pop, media and its nice to see a music as art...as it should be.. not a merchindize...

  • @jamie84t

    i agree....nice to find an album that will stand the test of time just cause it's freakin good....bare bones ...so tired of poppy adolescent crap that bombards the airwaves...music is an art and good music lovers should really be demanding more of groups like this one!!

  • singer sounds alot like the singer from the shins >.>

  • @MsToolKit lol it is him

  • @MsToolKit its the singer of the shins! :)

  • @MsToolKit lolololol xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • @captainawesome11 If you wanna run around and kill things, sure.

  • @captainawesome11

    Slipknot is cool, but Broken Bells rock too man.

  • Slipknot is not cool so stay in school you tool of a fool

  • @MrBlemph Slipknot is not cool, stay in school you tool of a fool. Wool os cool and it feels good! Peanuts anyone?

  • @DonJonCorleone87

    No more rhymes now, I mean it.

    Anybody want a peanut? :L

  • @captainawesome11 don't see how you could compare the two. Totally different genres.

  • @captainawesome11

    slipknot is cool, but you are a tool

  • @wawul if you dont like this then go fuck off... slipnot? really? your a douche

  • @riccobono1234

    Before you comment perhaps you should take note that my comment was directed at captainawesome11 . Also, I don't give two shits about slipknot, it was just a nice rhyme. And to make things clear, this song is fucking awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • @captainawesome11 HEARING CHECK PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @captainawesome11 Wow, way to be a douche : /

  • @xXPlayer5Xx Captaindouchey?

  • YEAH BOY

  • love it

  • the same 18 dislikers 4 tis vid also pressed "Dislike" on the "High Road Lyrics" video... coincidence or not?

  • So good

  • anything dangermouse touches is freakin mcmuffin fantastic

  • @albetty100 obviously, you dn't get out much if you can't enjoy something as beasty as this, so from now on, SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • ughhh i need ann ipodd T_T

  • I just found out that The Shins and Broken Bells have the same lead singer...which BLEW MY MIND AND MADE BROKEN BELLS LIKE 10x BETTER!

  • NEw age Beatles

  • @redkush420 Then clearly you've never heard MGMT or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Now those bands can be considered 'New Age Beatles'... and even then, you can't compare.

  • All I heard was "start to vaporize" so I did.

  • Am a fan of the Shins so easy to like these - this is a bit more out there, psychaedelic

  • Holy "The Strokes" similarities.

  • 18 people should be vaporized.

  • alternative album of the year - hands down

  • 2:11 best part

  • once 2:11 comes, i feel a new purpose in life. Doubtless, we've been through this, if you wanna follow me you should know, i was lost then and im lost now, and i doubt i'll ever know which way to go

  • James Mercer has a bad ass voice

  • woooow... a whole 18 dislikes ehh... i bet u guys feel insignificant... go fuck ur selves with unbroken bells

  • I tried to figure out what it was about this song that kept my attention, cuz the chord structure is kinda weird. It took me a few listens. Its that bassline, mixed with james' voice. Its awesome

  • I don't like The Shins, but, I love Brokens Bells. Lol!

  • @iLLmaticV3 Oh my goodness. How could you not like The Shins? You've obviously never listened to them while smoking funny stuff. haha

  • The 16 who disliked did it to be funny... Too bad it wasn't funny.

  • @makashka1 17, now. That person is actually trying a bit too hard to be funny ...

  • @makashka1

    Agreed

  • One of the best songs I have ever heard, nuff said

  • @newskulled -- really? it's good, but.... you should get out more.

  • Greater than the sum of it's parts - BETTER than Danger Mouse, BETTER than the Shins!

  • This is my favorite song on this album. It's just so fucking good.

  • a veil on our eyes sounds like a vilian i rise idk it jus sounds better

  • Kinda reminds me The Killers in an odd way...

  • @gaara924

    I thought the exact same thing. And considering The Killers are one of my favorite bands, that's a good thing in my book. :D

  • @fourwaystokillarobot why isnt it uploaded as a video comment? plz make things easier on yourself... ud get more views that way

  • @baboo2byc ..starting now. hah

  • Great song :]

  • I swear I've heard this song before.... years ago.... or at least a similar one sung by mercer?

  • I think they are absolute genius together. Stop bickering and learn to enjoy a good song.

  • <333

  • They are playing Oakland, CA tonight. I'll be there :)

  • Never resign to a typical life!

    You guys are RETARDED, this is obviously a great song, a great indie band, and an awesome duo of Mercer and Danger Mouse. It's fresh, trippy, and reminds me of a few bands I already love: MGMT, The Pixies, The Coral and The Shins (Mercer's band).

    That's a real musical opinion, btw.

  • Comment removed

  • @landmandlol shut up.

  • good stuff!

  • Awesome

  • Everything Dangermouse touches turns to gold.

  • What amounts to a dream anymore?

  • So let me just say, I was really depressed that Mercer wasn't returning back to the Shins till 2011. But Broken Bells is FRIGGEN AMAZING. Lyrical like the Shins, but the music is on a whole new level. Broken Bells can't totally replace my undying love for the Shins but I stilll reallly like this new collaberation between Danger Mouse and mercer.

    Broken Bells is sex.

  • I'd love to have a quiet word with Mr Mercer, but he is still producing outstanding cuts and so all props till I meet him.

  • Same. I need to meet him to give him proper praise. Mercer is my "god".

  • 645 people have a good sense of taste!

    15 people are deaf maybe?

  • who the hell pressed dislike 15 times? -.-

  • @mariannaMuse another band thats jealous

  • @mariannaMuse another band thats jealous

  • I officially love these guys. Two songs and they got a new fan(:

  • @Stanhood96 Same thing for me, two song and I need to buy the album !

  • @Stanhood96 same

  • LoOo0oOo0ve this song!!! :D

  • Love this song. Love this whole CD, but the song I can't stop playing is Trap Doors.

  • The organ reminds me of Fastball.

  • vaporize, the best song on this album

  • i shall vaporize to this

  • @shepdog213 I HOPE ITS A VOLCANO!

  • @brezzypoo my friend got his taken away by the men in blue!!!! 600 bucks went POOF

  • question of curisoty, y did people mention the shins in the comments. i love the shins just wondering? this is deff good music like theres

  • @wiam333 the singer is the lead singer from the shins

  • @therobinfliesagain22 AH well that would make sense does that mean they broke up or is this just something else James is doing

  • @wiam333 I don't know I hope that it is only a hiatus. I like this song, but I like new slang more

  • @therobinfliesagain22 oh ya true like the shins tunes, thanks for asking my question and have a good one.
