The Raconteurs-You Don't Understand Me Lyrics

[MrMaximililano]

Amazing song, but I'd say the influence of the Beatles is a bit too blatant.

[kuntumut]

his piano gently weeps

[betkiss]

thumbs up if you got here because of GUILD WARS 2

[juanbotero0303]

fucking great song!!

[JackWhite385]

Jack :****** <3

[nerdsharpie]

@JackWhite385 musicgasm all the way

[7EST7]

Almost cried of how good this song is wow!!!

[Pranav9977]

piano sounds like ginger calling another ginger ginger...

[Fembo01]

This is a really awesome song!

[maxbennett251]

this will sound stupid but is the piano sampled from elsewhere? because I swear I've heard this before

[cozo83]

@maxbennett251 it sounds like cornflake girl by tori amos

[bulle5662]

13 people have another point of view and we should accept that

[ShadowDeku7]

I wish I could thank Jack White in person for how much he inspires me. And many others obviously feel the same. I admit I don't have a greatly varied taste in bands, but I blame that on his brilliance. Why waste time searching for something else when I can listen to him and his bands forever? He had his musical heroes, and he has become one of mine. If I ever take another try at guitar and makes something out of it, it will be because of him.

[OiScumies]

Joseph Morgan loves this song ^^

[SweetMelody94]

I'm here because of the adorable Joseph Morgan :)

thumps up if u r too ;)

[CuteyHoney97]

[jonjon420tx]

[tommycifi]

[paulnba2k]

[MAXadhd]

[Stef1v]

Turin Brakes - Underdog (Save Me)

[SynithRS]

Thank you.

[duty919]

i like it ALOT!! these guys are up & coming!!!!!!

[MsGrappa91]

Damn. Another proof of Jack White being the best musician of this time.

[brickbyboringbrick01]

omg, this piano is soooooooo awesome. eargasm.

[shawmonster2]

omg i love jack white! i really like this song

[arcejua]

me exita tremendamente jack white

[kaironese]

the beginning reminds me of Foo Fighter's "Hey, Johnny Park!"

[Mossobaadi]

@kaironese Yeah it's the same chord progression

[williambonniemusic]

13 people clearly don't comprehend the other pint of view.

[frankc32]

@williambonniemusic, great line, dude.

Cheers!

FrankC32

[IxHitxdrums]

@williambonniemusic you clearly don't get the song.



[molly1564]

beautiful :')

[34HakeemtheDream34]

well i think that was the first time i have ever played air piano.

[MrDisturbinglyRandom]

@34HakeemtheDream34 i do it all the time. especially with coldplay.

[Lenjaful]

The raconteurs always give me this... Sweeney Todd - feeling

[frankc32]

@Lenjaful , that is so classic. look at the haircuts!

"but I've been looking around

and I haven't found

anyone like you"...

Cheers!

FrankC32

[Lenjaful]

@frankc32 Yeah!

[Lenjaful]

Is this a cover?

[frankc32]

@Lenjaful, I am guessing that this is a Jack White tune, through and through.

No one would be fool enough to attempt to poach his lands...

Anyway, that would be my guess, I emphasize, GUESS!!!!

Lyrical inspiration is one of the true definers/equalizers/rationaliz­ations of all the great songs!!!

No one knows but the bloke who wrote the song!

Cheers!

FrankC32

[Lenjaful]

@frankc32 Hahahahaha thanks :D

[Aiden1504]

@Lenjaful no i dont think so

[tLouizt]

BEST SONG EVER



[frankc32]

and it's "in the COURT of my heart, your ignorance is treason".

Why can't people understand that lyric?

Cheers!

FrankC32

[marcosviv]

These guys rock

[LloveLlamaLlauren]

this sounds awesome in my living room when i play it on piano! mostly cos we have no furniture... so it like... echoes.. :)

[skatestuff999]

nice



[Hrd2GtProductions]

*****

[ConstanceShadow]

Wow what an awesome song

[lbsmrbrb1]

this is awesome

[LemurInBlack]

fucking sucks

[larstheguitarguy]

@LemurInBlack wow, youre one of those haters huh? those who post hate commets just to get attention?

welll, if you want to get attention go say that rebecca black is a great songwriter then. bet you get more hate comments by doing that, than hating on a raconteurs since rebecca black is more popular. and thats kinda sad actualy...

[ilovekiba818]

@larstheguitarguy i agree with you she/he should have just moved on instead of writing that

[Dimitrirascolav58]

@LemurInBlack Your mom "Enter Your Text Here" my DICK

[Hrd2GtProductions]

@LemurInBlack <<<-- Fucking sucks

[Youkaikaze]

This song makes me want to kill myself.... in a good way.

[jimmypagepkr]

o my sweet mother of jesus. great song

[Zafter1237]

This song is beautiful, I must listen again....and again.....and again :)

[saintidiot]

jack looks like joann jett in this haha

[24filmcritic]

Oh how I love this song. Sounds like The Beatles for today. AND BTW...Ron Paul is the one politician that UNDERSTANDS ME. Check him out and join us in this rEVOLution for LIBERTY AND PEACE FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE!! Rock on people!!

[Steven23CrazyBassist]

@24filmcritic Wow. Just wow.

[buttershitNDK]

ohhh.....love

[Demonofdeath1231]

True tallent, and I dont care what anyone says, if you hate this, you must be deaf.

Jack White is an amazing singer, and an amazing guitarist...oh what I would do to meet him

[RandomUnsungHero]

Is it just me or does the piano on this song hint at the intro guitar riff from the Foo's tune Hey Johnny Park from TC&TS (or vice versa)?

[angelshalo]

I love the song, except the chorus is kind of boring...But it's still pretty good

[GreatUnwashedMass]

@angelshalo yeah the chorus drags a bit

[supapizza12]

this song basically describes my whole life...

[alexthomas011]

The piano is so good on this track.

[adalcantu]

This is the song that everyone needs to listen to... people this days have a lack of respect to each others....

And, in the name of the band and in the name of the leason that this song is trying to teach... lets stop making "# of Dislikes" comments....

Remember.... "There Is Always Another Point Of View"

[reelnub]

9 people don't understand

[freaklinse]

i think it's one of the best songs in this fuckin' world

...i like it

[wizardalvin]

audio works fine, my brain however is contrasyncphasedtranslocutiona­lly out of step. nice song though

[TrishtheDishNY]

very beatlesque

[dannychacon88]

3:33- end of the song =)

[fstarRocka]

9 dislikes were standing on their heads when they clicked the thumb

[Millertyme47]

@fstarRocka It's ironic to make a cheesy comment about the dislikers when the song is about another point of view.

[coffeechrist4]

@Millertyme47 U rock, but the song rocks even more.

[frankc32]

@Millertyme47, DING DING DING!!! We have a winner.

finally, someone nails the meaning of "irony".

Talk about a sucker word that is used by the fool and/or the fool that you are fooling!

Cheers!

FrankC32

[111WWEEBB]

@fstarRocka The other 4 just aren't understood

[Aiden1504]

such a good song, i like everysong by this band actually

[MystriusBurdedDrumma]

I THINK... not exactly sure. But i think he says "In the court of my heart your ignorance is treason" Not sure thats what it sounds like to me

[shair9003]

@MystriusBurdedDrumma Im hearing that too

[THE1andONLYofME]

@MystriusBurdedDrumma It says "In the corner of my heart, your ignorance is treason" Just like the lyrics in the video says. He just doesn't annunciate, like most singers.

[24filmcritic]

THIS SONG COULD HELP SAVE THE WORLD!! Think of how much hate, conflict, feelings of indignation/oppression result in harsh imposing of views/morals/normalcy upon others. Mankind is a rich, vast, and vibrant culture. WE ARE NOT THE SAME! LOVE & PEACE!!!

[michaelglencer]

shit, they are awesome!

[WarriorCatsPeace]

Oh my gosh this is a realy great song!

[antraxptpt]

It resembles beatles? BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING FOUR.

[dortheamaria]

this song is waay too unknown. I havn't heart anything so smooth and perfectly mellow, with such wonderful lyrics in looong time... perfect just perfect.

Just listen to the piano! goosebumbs <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[WyattsFreakinChannel]

Really, I don't think it should be, "in the corner of my heat, your ignorance is treason."

It makes more sense and it's far more powerful to say, "In the COURT of my heart, your ignorance is treason."

It suggest that this isn't just so small part of you thats affected, "the corner" but that the whole system you're built upon is affected by the 'treason' the other person has committed. It also suggest that your heart is accusing the other person meaning you've been torn about this person

[wolfhunter234]

7 people where in complete awe at this song that on their way to the like button they missed. damn i love this song

[MrLipdem]

Jack White = Modern's Jimmy Page.

[Mossobaadi]

I think Jack looks a bit like Paul McCartney in this picture.

[vintagedesert]

This is one of the saddest songs Ive ever heard.

[entash2]

perfect example of what beatles started

[thatguyalldetime]

i think video killed the music star lol

[p0wers007]

They're like the modern day beatles

[rohitgaikwad1986]

so much poise...

[Roughtonone]

Now that I think about it, this song kinda sounds a little like Hey Jude.

No wonder I liked it so much.

[Ssk8collins]

@Roughtonone you know at first glance i saw the picture and thought of the beatles for some reason. :P

[Roughtonone]

@Ssk8collins Possibly due to the black suits. It kinda looks like the type of thing you would see the Beatles do on an album cover.

[atomic116090]

@Roughtonone It doesn't... Are you crazy? :S

[antraxptpt]

@Roughtonone Lol i just read your comment as "hey, everyone's saying stupidly that racounteurs are like beatles, lemme help stablishing the chaos!"

[SpiceyTuna14]

Even with a hangover........they sound AMAZING!!!!

[dragonboshi]

So deeply moving. Amazing, everything is in the right place

[KIRAKOKA]

brutal!

[MrHaha6254]

5 people don't understand this song

[denouliniify]

this is how i feel right now...

[CaseTake1]

My favorite song from the Raconteurs. I'm sure we all can get an emotional move listening to this.

[1996MariusB]

it reminds me to "althea-grateful dead"

[TheMjhaus]

Who is the fool? The fool? Or the fool that you are fooling?- Great quote from this song

[DarkAngelEU]

this song is so full of emotion <3

[MrAlexander1821]

amazing song

that it

i luv

[flowerchild21century]

I love the part "but in a corner of my heart your ignorance is treason."

[bynm]

this kinna reminds me of something neil young would've wrote in his heyday.

[chrssyeldridge]

I love love love this song.. Kinda how I feel about my current relationship!

[benibargera]

is there are a song with a similar or the same piano melody? someone told me "Another way to die" does, but I'm not hearing it.

love this song!!!

[tenaciousghost]

@benibargera i can kinda see that but no not really.

[CaseTake1]

Beautiful song...Thank God that White and Benson partnered up for some meaningful music.

[tenaciousghost]

isnt jack white in this band?

[tobalcainalhambra]

@tenaciousghost yes, he is

[betterthanyourname28]

@tenaciousghost Yeah he's the one all the way to the left in the picture.

[jeffmoto72]

Racontuers are the real deal...so much fake ass auto tune trash music these days...lady gaga crap... its great to hear true god given talent...

[CaseTake1]

@jeffmoto72 Listen... the Raconteurs are my favorite band; and though I don't like Lady Gaga much either, it's not quite fair to rip on her like that. I've heard her sing and she knows what she's doing.

[gaggag213]

actualy court of my heart as in they send you to court to see if you're guilty

[adamkl20]

@gaggag213

I bought this album and the lyrics are not written in the fold-out from the CD case.

But I think you're right, that makes more sense. Good catch.

[smoothpeanut1]

sounds like another way to die at 3:45

[ukhio]

ITs ok but not epic maybe i have to analyze the lyrics coz english its no tmy mother lanuguage

[smoothpeanut1]

jack looks very cuteeeee here

[ozner25]

If u dont like this, your audio doesnt work.

[Philbertsroom]

@ozner25 was there sound to this video ?

[1dandaman12345]

hear a lot of csny "almost cut my hair" in this song...in a good way

[222longboard]

i friggen love this song

[Mutantlobster12]

This album is incredibly amazing. This and Consolers of the Lonely are my favorite.

[betterthanyourname28]

best. song. ever. THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!

[cromey07]

where could i find the piano script for this song?

[iKillPixls]

@cromey07 ererrrrbeberrrererrrrbebe exscushe meee errrrerereeerbebbbebrbebeerr can you help me pweesh

[cromey07]

@iKillPixls hahaa you fucker, how did you come see this??

[iKillPixls]

@cromey07 Just like to keep an eye on yow in case yow get trouble. i've quite a bit of input on the yowtube scene x

[zamine81]

Have you listen 'Women in you' from ben harper ? that's the first thing that i remembered when i here this song from raconteurs.

[joie639]

400 like, 4 dislike

[BytomGirl]

Your ignorance is treason....how true.....

[TheMrBenedict]

Literally one of the best songs of the last decade. Hugely under appreciated

[THEanthony12101]

Id give this video 5 stars if i knew how

[SnakeDoctor33]

@THEanthony12101 *****...lmao

[youdontgivemethehorn]

isn't it 'in the COURT of my heart your ignorance is treason', not corner?

[arnaud360]

sick riff

[Dadebeast]

Other songs with similar piano riffs??

[thediegodiego]

is amazing

[jdee994]

love  Raconteurs

[Musicmagnet1]

this music is freaking awesome, my god that final part, the piano playing.. hmmmmmmm :D  it's so f****good

[HumanityIHate]

Who composes the songs for The Raconteurs? Or at least this song because this is one of the best songs I have ever heard.

[lammyb]

@HumanityIHate WIkipedia on 'Consolers of the Lonley' :

All songs by Brendan Benson and Jack White, except "Rich Kid Blues" by Terry Reid.

[mojoryan]

I just saw (half of) them last saturday at Third Man records in Nashville! AMAZING!!!! I bought their copper vinyl re-release of "Broken Boy Soldier".

[miroku980]

Best Piano Rifts EVER

[arnaud360]

@miroku980 riffs?*

[rufus379]

its kindof got the same feel as quntum of solace soundtrack that jack and alicia keys did. atleast in the intro and verse

[MsKurtCobainn]

this sounds like it couldve been a beatles song, thats just what it reminds me of

[misslocalHI]

DEEP!!

[MrRarepain]

I like this song!! ♥♥♥♥

[wheeler1200]

The piano on 3:34 reminds me the introduction of "while my gitar gently weeps" of the Beatles, and it's always a good reference

[Sockhead360]

they ripped it off from the song you've got me all wrong by Dios Malos feel free to argue my point but Brendan Benson was on the same label as them when it was released. just sayin

[stuffisgd37]

@Sockhead360 you got me all wrong wasnt an dios malos original it was by miguel mendez, but either way you have a point.

[ItalianKitteh]

Check your readability. Otherwise... Good video, great song!

[Teestelan]

Anyone has tabs/videos showing how to play this on bass? i can't find it anywere :(

[skershbaum1]

am i the only one who is not crazy about the chorus, mainly because the lyrics get in the way? the verses are amazing though and the instrumentals

*this is my favorite band!!!

[lakajd]

if you mean the "other point of view" pasrt then yeah...i find it a little off from the rest of the song

[thommytaranto]

@lakajd Jack White's lyrics are usually meant to be childish and a little bit different. In The White Stripes, a few of their song's lyrics don't make sense either.

[Isamright33]

@thommytaranto how does this song not make sense, i think you are projecting here, i think you are saying that his lyrics are childish because you cannot understand them, I think that youa re hte one who is childish, have you ever tried to sing before? I know alot of children and prodigies that can sing very well, but none as well as jack white......maybe you are a child who was neglected.
