  • i cant entirely understand what the interlude says,,, can someone help me out?

  • goddamnit this soooooooooooong oh eargasm

  • i remember when this song had like 600,000 views

  • I like the interlude too...weird man...yeah

  • this guy should make a Bioshock movie

  • I like the interlude. I don't know why everyone's complaining.

  • Goddam Byrne is still a freaking genius.

  • this song would be so much better with a soloist that could actually sing well.

  • It's a liberating idea because it frees you from your responsibility to your fellow man and this planet to say that we're not in control. Religion is a virus in the logic of man...

  • @ooscudoo I agree about religion but that doesn't mean I believe the opposite. There are more than two options. I used to think I was an atheist growing up until I realised it was a reaction against religion.

  • Mikey Taylor Battle Commander!!!

  • justin beiber made 44 accounts to dislike this

  • a snowball in my kitchen

  • Im glad this interlude wasnt on Mike Taylors battle commander

  • WALL STREET 2 BABY!!!

  • @Gichnni GORDON GEKKO!! lol

  • @Gichnni i discovered david byrne cause of it

  • Mikey Taylor!

  • @arcticjungle6 Skater fags should not be allowed to have accounts on youtube.

  • @JuniperSprouts thank god nobody gives a flying fuck about opinion eh?

  • @arcticjungle6 Nobody = skater fags?

  • @JuniperSprouts You're so funny, it's great.

  • @arcticjungle6 I am impressed that you spelled "You're" and "it's" correctly. Standards these days, you know...

  • @JuniperSprouts You should try stand-up. :]

  • This is fairly brilliant. I'd like to see more visual conceptualizations of Eno's music. His work seems fit for that sort of treatment. With or without Eno's approval.

  • very scary.. :s

  • go steve yeo!

  • So much talent, but it sounds effortless. Ridiculous.

  • Comment removed

  • Hire me pls

  • I love this song, but atheists can all fucking die IMO.

  • That is sum trippy stuff

  • I always play this while I am just walking around campus

  • @mux9000 Me Too!!!!

    

  • like if you came here for mikey taylor

  • @mux9000 woah! Congradulations!

  • what the fuck yea

  • "these beats are 20 years old" - they are, sampled from "If I Was Your Girlfriend" by Prince.

  • Sexy ass song . Miley taylor all day

  • mikey taylor!

  • this reminds me so much of

    romanticallyapocalyptic

  • @ankrax I love that comic.

  • Hey guys I'm just dropping in to congratulate you all on having the only civil and worthwhile youtube comment exchange in the history of the internet.

    Bye.

  • religion says your not in control, how is that liberating?

  • @Gonthor1000 well, having / wanting to control everything yourself can be a pretty suffocating thing, don't you think? it's nice to let go sometimes, to let yourself being carried away, by music for example, or when making love. so yes, being 'overpowered' can be liberating, just as 'freedom' can turn out pretty sour too; just look at how we're all slaves to the free market / economy.

  • @bertdockx im saying the meaning of liberating, isnt it more like freedom?

  • @Gonthor1000 for me: yes and no. if i look at the definition of the word: yes, of course, but if i think about it: not necessarily. i don't consider myself a religious person, but i can understand the attraction of religion, and i can understand people finding some kind of freedom in it, even if religion is so often used to bluntly control and limit people's lives or minds. isn't religion originally meant to free a person from the material world, to find truth beyond that?

  • @Gonthor1000 also: it seems that every time people set out to liberate themselves (through religion, political ideologies, buying a car, etc.), they end up locked up again in something else in the end... (sorry if i'm rambling, or boring you, i'm not trying to lecture you either; just some thoughts that pop up.)

  • @Gonthor1000 --- sarcasm. that is all.

  • @mothermarmalade very well possible too :)

  • songs and meeeeeeetins.

  • Mikey Taylor

  • Mikey Taylor the MAN brought me here!!

  • 41 people clearly worship Bretton James

  • Is there a version without the interlude?

  • @pynqromance It's on their album "Everything That Happens..."

  • Darren Criss brought me here

  • Great song, though the quote... is bull. Religion is not liberating, it's controlling.

  • You guys crack me up ! Clearly, the music has achieved a very admirable goal, a reaction. Byrne and Eno have been at the forefront of all sorts of technological and social movements for decades. There's no debating that. It's impressive to say the least. What have any of you guys that hate David Byrne done ? Yah, the silence speaks for itself. Hate it. It's your right. But, in doing so there is a chance you're missing an opportunity to possibly learn something. That is a fact of life.

  • anybody else here because of Darren?

  • This is a perfect advertisement for what is to come, psychological warfare at its best. Preparing the masses for the NWO.

  • Sounds like someone doesn't like Oliver Stone who does no one saw wallstreet2 ye David Byrnes music has no heart wat a stupid thing to say watch Stop Making Sense and maybe you might start making sense you are a typical frightened hillrod worried about things u hav no control over (SupernaturalXtreme) religion nuts like you are the problem keep it to yerself n go listen to a Chris Gaines CD. I'm not a leftist either I just think yer a duech 4same reason tigerroar88 does

  • @SupernaturalXtreme Wow, dude, change your tampon and get help. I don't like country music but I don't go on their sites and rant like some psycho one step away from a watch tower and a sniper rifle.

  • @SupernaturalXtreme Or you could try not listening to it and calming yourself down alltile bit. not tryin to be mean but no one forces you to listen to him and if you really get that worked up about it then takes some pills or crap.

  • is that graham hancock speaking???

  • The “Music” of David Byrne is extremely annoying & unattractive! It has NO! heart, it is sterile & cold, in short: it is garbage just like the movie “Wallstreet II”. Take an awful soundtrack (littered with the crap from Bryne), a lame story, an aged leftist movie director & an ugly actress (Carey-Mulligan) for the female leading part & you have what I call: a C-movie dressed up as an A-movie which one could be sold only to the gullible leftist/liberal scumbags & they so deserve that trash!

  • @SupernaturalXtreme Dude. Calm you vag and go do something besides troll.

  • @SupernaturalXtreme You're not very well liked are you?

  • 3:30 3:32 should of been the whle songs beat

  • Fuque skaters, theists, and whoever does not like this song.

  • This song is so awesome...but how much better would it be without Brian Eno's stupid interlude about religion? Talk about a mood killer.

  • @marklarrr thankfully that version is on the album

  • @marklarrr Whilst I sincerely and honestly appreciate your opinion I just had to respond to your comment because it made me smile when I read it. I actually just came back here to pick up his 'stupid interlude' for a paper that I'm writing on the heart from the book of Proverbs... and he's so right about the 'chance to surrender' and the liberation therein!! He he. Love it

  • @marklarrr I feel like that adds alot to the song...

  • @marklarrr that interlude was real as shit tho

  • @marklarrr I disagree, whether or not it works in the song is debatable, but his short interlude is poigniant and quite introspective and not terribly intrusive IMO.

  • @leonakita Right on. I didnt really mean that what he was saying was stupid (although I do find the idea of evangelical atheism a little ridiculous), but as you say, how it works in the song is debatable.

  • @marklarrr Listen to the cover by We Barbarians. I think that it's much better than the original and no interlude. Loads of crashing guitars - wonderful!

  • This song is fucking wonderful. Please link me to anything similar?

  • @callaghan9295 you should take time to listen to talking heads (Byrne's band)... the evolution of the band and music is all good in my opinion - time changes many things - those who think they're diehard fans will probably disagree but tis life. Much of David Byrne's solo stuff is awesome too.

  • @callaghan9295 you'll love this, Brian Eno & John Cale:

    youtube.com/watch?v=pYvXp7_9GP­E

  • @callaghan9295 Go Motown!

  • @callaghan9295 You might listen to Still Sound by Toro y Moi. It has the same whimsical feel but with a retro disco touch. Can't hurt to check it out.

  • @callaghan9295 for some strange reason i think the song "rock your baby" sounds weirdly like this one

  • thumbs up if you didnt come here by some skaters.

    thumbs uo if youre here, cause you know great music!

  • Money Never Sleeps..

  • Mikey days:D

  • MIKEY TAYLOR'S BATTLE COMMANDER!!

  • I am looking for a demo version, which was used in Wall Street II movie. Dominik

  • ちょっと泣きそうだ。

  • Thank you Eric Koston and Steve Berra for creating The Berrics, which led to Wednesdays with Reda, Battle as the Berrics, and eventually, my discovery of Brian Eno. You guys have my thanks. And I'm sure the entire skateboarding culture welcomes and loves your positive reinforcement to each and all of our lives. I skate to live. I skate to express myself. I skate to have fun. Again, thanks you guys. Thanks for providing me a way to find pleasure in my life

  • @JimmyPageMarley1 Damn nigga you straight pole jockin'

  • @earwet Haha sorry I'm not black or gay but what does that mean?

  • love it, don't know a thing about this because I'm confused why mgmt mentions him, and is this old music cause it god damn feels like it ahhhhhh i should be googlin nah

  • repeat repeat repeat

  • 2:41 - best!

  • been DIGGING this new track { = B/E = } 1

  • This song is the freaking shiz!! Love it!!!

  • beauty is the result of happiness...

  • my fav ever

  • Comment removed

  • @meekolan Google.

  • the abundance of skaters commenting on this video is depressing. this song is incredible and doesn't need to be associated with a famous skater to be good.

  • @HeyWheresKel its a great song, but we all love Mikey Taylor and his music taste so they're gonna bring it up :)

  • @HeyWheresKel your a fucking idiot

  • I wake up every morning to this song. No joke.

  • @mybruisedarm me too :D

  • The chorus reminds me of that song, Rock your Baby.

  • WALL STREET 2 !!!

  • I fucking love how once a skater comes out with a video and it has an awesome song...then when I go to youtube to get it there's always a comment about the video already. I'm surprised skaters don't get paid for advertising music!

  • @bennayboi123 thats the greatest thing ever, that they're not paid! (yet) for the music. if it would be so, music would suck i think... and we would never be shown so much beautiful music...

  • YouTube: "Mikey Taylor Battle Commander" All you unfortunate non-skaters!

  • @snarlador

    Actually I youtubed "Brian Eno and David Byrne strange overtones"

    Because i listened to this song way before some stupid skate video.

  • @mux9000 Here's to that !

  • All my life I thought in this song he was singing "strange are the tones". I was honestly disappointed when I found the real lyrics because what I imagined seems more lyrical somehow.

  • Makes lives happy

  • the song sounds so diffrent without the sound of the board...

    

  • such a chill song!

  • best battle commander ever.

  • 3rd EYES OPEN UP, a COMMENT FROM TOKYO JPN.

  • This sounds hella 80's

  • he sounds the same to me and i love it....u inspire me david byrne and i love you..

  • @leshager2009 mikey taylor is not a loser. he is an athlete. doesn't need drugs, you do.

  • what happened to David Byrne 's voice , he didn't sound like that back then

  • @y512516 it got better lol, his voice has been improving a lot over the years, kind of like Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips, you can se a HUGE shift in David's singing abilities even in a short time from the release of The Talking Heads first album and then Fear Of Music, and its been improving ever since, even though hes older now i think his voice is at its best here

  • @y512516 It's just a different style of singing :) He still sings like you used to, this is just more airy(?) sounding. Still a gem, though

  • @y512516 He sounds the same to me , i have been a fan for decades.

  • mikeyy taylor battle comander thimbss up!!

  • I think I'm the only person here who came here because this song was in Wallstreet... Mikey Taylor's Battle Commander was sickk though!!!

  • @jonnyboy343 I did

  • this videos buggn me out

  • i heard this song on wall street and i was like this would be a good skate monty song andthen i see all thesemikey taylor comments i was like wtf! lol fucking crazy, forgot aboutmikeys battle commander

  • Whatever Mikey Taylor did, good on him, but either way this is probably the best song I have ever heard.

  • Battle Commander Mikey Taylor!!

  • Thought I was watching a Residents video!

  • @TheNgreen2 mikey taylors a pro skater and he has a video that this song was in

  • @Crris1031 Thanks for clarifying man. Sounds like he knows how to make a video :) 

  • Mikeeeyyyyyyy.

  • Song was good - video was stupid -

    FB

  • David Byrne brought me here.

  • mikey taylor rules !!

  • MIkey Taylor <3

  • Look, I Dont care! MIKEY TAYLOR IS THE BEST!!!

  • Who the fuck is Mikey Taylor? David Bryne and Brian Eno are two of the most prolific and intelligent artists working today.

  • @TheNgreen2 no they dont

  • @ThaSK8M8 No they don't what? I feel like your inability to form an answer that makes sense only reaffirms my oint. 

  • if you spell skate with an 8.. just shut up. ha. but i find it pretty pathetic that you guys have probably never even heard of brian eno until mikey taylor used this. i love skating and that video even, but just stfu about it. forrreeeaaal

  • mikey mikey mikey mikey mikey

  • This is now a religion flame war. FUCK YOU CHRISTIAN FAGGOTS! FUCK ALLAH!!! HERP DERP!!!!

  • Mushrooms too much ?!?

  • Great video! Thanks for posting.

  • Comment removed

  • HD vector, gotta love it!!

  • Fuck Taylor!

  • @A1sausie Do you know who that is? Fuck you. Just because Mikey Taylor brought us here doesn't mean anything. Just more viewers for the video, and more publicity for the band. It doesn't matter what brought us here, as long as we're here. So shut the fuck up. Mikey Taylor is one of the coolest skateboarders out there, don't talk shit.

  • @2ftsk8r Calm the fuck down

  • @2inchsk8r Skateboarding is gay.

  • @A1sausie Think what you want, asshole.

  • @2ftsk8r Skateboarding is gay.

  • @A1sausie too bad your opinion doesn't matter. stupid BITCH
