WHALE - Yellow Ostrich (original)

[Nomortem]

Pic unrelated in music video format.

[ryuzaki1492]

Not as good as freelance whales but the cinematography behind this masterpiece is astounding.

[uMg0Gettal1fe]

Now I feel the need to ride around on a whale in the sea for the rest of eternity. While drinking coffee.

[evodmasters]

I liked this song, but i liked it better when it was called "Everybody Hurts"

[OldZL]

@evodmasters hahahahahahahaha...hip. :D

[ArayaSkye]

not enough cooffeee!!!!!!!

[ArayaSkye]

i saw this on the beaver

[Ebook94]

great song but the video might be the dumbest thing I've seen since the music video for We Are Young by Fun.

[sgnalfyr23]

@Ebook94 Well, I guess you just didn't see the symbolism behind fun.'s music video then.

[tntpeach]

where are the fucking ostriches?

[keus18]

Beauty.



[ArayaSkye]

awsum song



[cassiecavazos13]

O3O he is going to make a whale plant!

[sarahc5542]

bahahaha this is me with nesquick!

[southernbelleadvice]

dang it i broke the replay button

[Jessiejaybird]

Guess he likes his coffee strong huh.

[hampsterbb]

@Jessiejaybird Whales probably need a lot more caffeine than humans do to get the job done~

[hipsterkatiee]

The replay button is my best friend right now.

[KamiRami33]

@hipsterkatiee ya mad lonely

[STOPtheHORROR]

Less "oh oh oh oh" and this band would be fantastic.

All songs are mostly.. alike.

[iwantorlando05]

Daniel Radcliffe mentioned them in an interview, they're interesting.

[23memomc]

great song, saw yellow ostrich live and they were great!! Everyone go out and buy tickets!!

[SamanthRossi8pie]

i wonder what type of whale hes singing about....? :3

[KamiRami33]

@SamanthRossi8pie LOL omg :3

[IBEINTHESEA]

my outstanding taste in music brought me here.

[Skyecallow]

Im in a little bit of a jaw drop, This is fucking awesome

[Popcornmonger]

I found this via the RELEVANT podcast - great song.

[travisj103]

the like bar looks like a green pencil

[birby1000]

fresh brewed awesomeness

[narbiglarb]

I can tell you that this is now my theme song to life. I heard it on college radio on my way to Walmart and now it is the best thing ever.

Yellow Ostrich is definitely my favorite band now.

And WRAS is the coolest radio station ever. So much appreciation for this song and for college radio.

I want to be a whale now.

[thevidman11]

@narbiglarb ATL thumbs up!

[IcyHot311]

This song makes me open a new tab. Go to youtube. And search "Blue Whale". Then I curl up in a burrow of furry blankets and imagine swimming with the whale.

Yeah, it's super fun...(:

[DaGrayryder]

I now am in love with whales

[Confectrix]

"Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons"

Is this video a reference to The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufcock?

[sammyenn]

WHA_E

[heinkz]

i love you guys!

[SamanthRossi8pie]

[hahasamehaha]

I'm on mushrooms and this video made SO MUCH SENSE

[ecomagnitude]

unique, very beautifully, breathtakingly unique

[CheshireHellKat]

Well, obviously the IMAlive.org music video was light-years superior to this one. Still, it's a great song.

[sk84lafs]

saw these guys and the antlers last night, greatest show ever!

[SixDemonBag81]

Coffee? Shit, it looks like kratom to me.

[jgiuffra1]

Fantastic Song! Stripped down indie at irs best.

[pieguy49]

jizzing out of my ears

[Paul7851]

Found this song at Song of the Day on NPR music. Dig it.

[MsJamMonster]

Alex likes his coffee strong.

[TheSondheimer]

@theyanks4ever94 yellow ostrich with beirut??? that would be a hell of a concert. are they still on tour together?

[JuliaWasHere]

Heard this on NPR today. I simply love it!

[MrBones2012]

I heard this song for the first time yesterday... couldn't get it out of my head. Finally did, but then woke up at 4 in the morning with it playing in my head. So I gave in and decided I would listen to it over and over and over and over and over......

[JacobH021]

There is something so sexy about this song.

[djn1kon]

This song is taking me on a subconsciously voyeuristic joy-ney.

[Jon120345]

From fretless to Alex Schaaf and friends to escalator dance party to the chairs to yellow ostrich. You are awesome. Please keep it up

[StarvingSound]

This isn't real music. If you want real music listen to Rebecca Black. Friday, Friday, Friday...

Muahahahahhahaa.

[Aberdee805]

Please make music forever.

[theYus58]

it's great

[ClaudiaLaFerrassie]

haha cute!

[hampsterbb]

At first I thought, "THAT'S A LOT OF COFFEE!!!" but then I realized that was silly, of course he's not putting that much coffee in there. That's when I realized, "THAT'S A LOT OF WHALE!!!"

[turtleheart77]

Thank god for NPR's song of the day.... this music is like heroine for my ears.

[0019ed]

genius.

[scotthottube]

[basketcase5295]

I don't know if you check this, but I just found your band Yellow Ostrich. Did you just start out by covering songs on youtube and now you've picked up some momentum? Really awesome man.

[nono576]

[Mzcherryblossm]

[xryuux]

why does the album version not sound anything like this? depressing.

[trezonz]

@xryuux sounds just like this when I downloaded it from BIRP

[pseudomatic]

this song is great. i love how ambiguous the beat is at the start, and then everything falls into place. and then the guitar takes over!

way to hijack the empty space and then deliver on a full sound when the anticipation reaches a high point!

[SuperChance17]

You are truly a brilliant musician. Keep creating.

[KoreanRedDragon]

They just played WHALE on KEXP.org and made me look it up. Great stuff.

[KoreanRedDragon]

@KoreanRedDragon And they'll be doing a live studio performance there today, in a tad over 5 hours, I think. That's 9:00 (in the morning) local Seattle time. Yay.

[andrepp76]

You are actually very talented, mate. Keep composing, please!
