Hey Rosetta! - Yer Spring

[TopherTV]

Saw these guys a week ago opening for Gomez at the Fillmore. got a free poster, and my friend bought the album. awesome fellas.

[AuzzyReeves]

Saw these guys for the first time last night opening for Gomez in Phoenix.

Utterly spectacular; I'm impressed.

...and a little angry no one had told me about 'em.

[a2canadian]

These guys are AMAZING live. If feels like you are sitting in their living room, watching them jam. If they are playing near you.. .GO GO GO!

[ferencofbuda]

All I can say is: WOW! I'm definitely keeping an eye (and an ear), out for these guys!

[KimilAdrayne]

I still get shivers down my spine every time I hear it.

[rkjw74]

@ALTmusicislove and @heystoponadime me too! See ya there!

[ChristinaTucker360]

this makes me feel at home

[ATLmusicislove]

I love them! Just found out I get to see them in April for the 95th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge

[heystoponadime]

@ATLmusicislove Me too! I'll be there!

[lesionfreepretty]

@ATLmusicislove I'm going to that too! It's going to be so great. :D

[metalheadrapper]

just happened to come across this song by chance..glad i didn't stroll past it

[UncleColin56]

I love this. It moves me. And I'm old enough to be their Dad. I'm so glad this music exists

[PRINCECOUNTYBEATS]

cool video

[robtheAMBULANCE]

2:47 INDIA BEER!

[lauralily123414]

[echowave2323]

[McArthurBen]

Canadian indie lives!

[osnolacas]

Gran tema !!

[ZooYork258]

[ZooYork258]

I think i used all my monthly usage on hey rosettas videos :/

[handsaroundyourneck]

smiling about the whole song. (:

[dressup154]

Pause at 1:34 to see the girl in the middle daydreaming about being a groupie with benefits.

[CoolerThanIceCubes1]

it was amazing @ bronson centre :) i still have the paper leaves..

[The29thStreet]

where are they from?

[connonp]

@The29thStreet St. John's, Newfoundland me buddy

[xsetyourselfonfire]

@The29thStreet

St. John's, Newfoundland of course. <3

[jojokabo78]

Water Street :))))

[estardeepbrown]

:D <3

[justtryingtobefunny]

its sickening knowing that this band is less well known than nickleback

[GankTrain]

@justtryingtobefunny

nickelback is the vomit of the music industry

[DrHBoson]

Now, I am not the most emotional person in the world, but this song makes me unbelievably happy. :D

[chrisrh89]

Did anyone notice that at 4:20 into the video, the cash register reads 4:20...which is two large coffees at hava java (where that portion of the video was shot)...and the clock on the wall reads 4:20. Subliminal messaging at its finest.

[therealsross]

@chrisrh89 you can't read time

[mayonaiseizationable]

I miss St.Johns.

[LeytonOrientForever]

I Love Last.fm similar artists. I am 14 and all the music you ever hear is dubstep and I love this, I went on last.fm to find similar artists to James Vincent Mcmorrow and now I searched Dan Mangan and found these. LOVE IT!

[mehfu263]

There is no 4:52

[canadianeyes]

damn, this is AMAZING. I´ve been listening this song for days, and I still can´t get it out of my mind!

[hankcupcake]

Everyone deserves to be happy.

[Daftydd]

my song of the year

[roberto8321]

Love this song!!! I can't stop listening to it.

Just wondering if anyone noticed that at 1:39, Tim has a Capo on his guitar, but in the rest of the video, there is no Capo. I take it the live performance shots aren't all from Yer Spring.

Video is still awesome though!

[court3love]

Always amazing!

[thierryhendrix]

Love this music so much and Hey Rosetta you are so good.

[Iamayounghuman]

THERE ARE SO FLIPPING FANTASTIC.  Why does this not have many, many more views? :(

[harnum721]

This is the concert I attended. They are absolutely electric. I gained a HELL of a lot of respect for them as a band that night. Hope to do it again soon!

[SarahKathleen22]

This is my favorite music video !

[vantop]

5 people dont have souls!

[Babs2342]

my favourite band in the world by faaaar :D

[TheLuzonboy]

somebody put up the lyrics for this... pls.

[vitopol]

"Am I the knuckles white inside, am I the water rushing in" ...wow

[jako023]

I HAVE THE SAME HAT AS HIM WHEN HE'S DRUNK!!!!

CBC RADIO 3!!!!!!!

[stefandahman]

thumbs up als je komt via Nico dijkshoorn (@dijkshoorn)

[austinduo]

Right now...Hey Rosetta! i hear my voice whine:"I need to hear some GOOD music...(whine-ier), it's been so long since anything m~o~v~e~d me" and the universe snickered told me to shut my piehole, stop my whining and listen to Hey Rosetta! GOOD MUSIC, your sound is so awesome, you m~o~v~e~d me. I'm gonna stop there before I develop a full blown man-crush. -New Fan in Austin, TX

[juniperjubilee]

I'm so obsessed with this song!

[LorSuperPeak]

oh wow goosebumps 

[Slurpthespoon]

I love this fucking band.

[rocknroolla]

Thank you mtv THANKS for showin me this so i can see it 14521178524224 here in youtube lol

[Cherrie951]

Let the loser up, Leeet the loser up, Let's get him upp, let's get him upp, let's get him uppp, let's get him upp, let's get him upp, let's get him up. Perfect bittersweet finish:)

[rhysjohnstone]

This guy listens to a lot of Paul Simon. I mean that in a good way!

[FrankieFaceHonk]

The main singer in hey rosseta is my cousin! Love you timbit! <3

[Eva96723]

i wish i could like this a million times!(L)

[danyyo2]

amazing song, but i cant tell what is this song about D: can someone tell me D:

[hiphop1007]

@danyyo2 There's a lot to write about this song and not enough room so I'll just try to make it brief. It's about a renewal of hope, a renewal of life (hence the reason it's called yer "spring", spring is the season of rebirth). Specifically, it talks about people who spend time fooling around and drinking at bars. Then he comes to the realization that this is not helping him in life at all, and has an epiphany of sorts at the end. Hope that helps a bit.

[brknspacebar]

1:32 call me crazy, but that girl looks like she is thinking some nasty thoughts

[majorocarroll]

these guys sound exactly like the frames

[Shep11111]

@majorocarroll No they don't..

[ExamManMovie]

The mummering is what makes this video!

[Nieves57]

Tunes Award Winner 2011

[Darkryers]

Chills everytime, I cant wait to see them live! Their music is like poetry to me <3 love these guys!

[mshave6]

@Darkryers They are phenomenal live, you won't be dissapointed!

[MyNameMeansSheep]

Lovely song. Bit like a low budget version of Firework though....

[treble41]

Don't care about the video but this song is a grower and their lyrics are always better than avg.

[soulreaperichig0]

facepalm

[Gristlan]

Love this song, beautiful music. Has anyone else noticed at 4:22, in the coffee shop scene, that the cash register reads 4.20 and the clock on the wall to the right reads 4:20?

Wish more people would make music as good as this.

[ViewNatureLoveNature]

@Gristlan that would have been cool if this scene was at 4:20

[Hustlerae]

this is such a cute video

[lennyak1]

I have to wonder who could be the 'Three' idiots that dislike this video. It looks, to me, that everyone in it is enjoying themselve!

[Twotoken2]

I was at the show with the toilet paper, at the Delta...wicked good time. The first night I landed in the Rock for Christmas last year...

[12345thestrokes]

such beautiful lyrics!people open your ears to great music like this!

[TeaZiiee]

Why the hell is the annoying orange in the suggestions?

[9611CALL]

i totally dance like him

[lennyak1]

Does anyone know where one could find the lyrics?

[commaqwat]

@lennyak1

google

[lennyak1]

Very HOT tune. They have a new fan far from Newfoundland in Alaska.

[ople125125]

dont let naked men sleep inyour bed. assumptions will be made

[mayonaiseizationable]

They make me proud to be from Newfoundland.

[tuckedawayfromsight]

What an amazing spring song! Just what I needed after this northern winter ;-]

[hipsterkitties]

This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen..

[ople125125]

@hipsterkitties Hey go fuck yourself and do us all a favor

[C2Blackwood]

BREEZWAY!!! ST. JOHN's NL!!!!!! COMING HOME AGAIN APRIL 20!!!!!

[C2Blackwood]

BREEZWAY!!! ST. JOHN's NL!!!!!! COMING HOME APRIL 20 AGAIN!!!!!

[creoloko]

I've been listening since february and I still can't believe this is song is not more popular yet.

[cosmicg68]

Πανέμορφο τραγούδι!

[tohellwithpurplepeop]

victoria BC - just a few weeks ago - during thier set - sparklers started appearing through the crowd - up in the air - many many of them - the band all smiled and carried on as the fans raised them in an act of 'WOW' ! it was one of the best concert experiences of my life. thank you hey rosetta! you steal the show - where ever you are.

[checkerbordom]

@tohellwithpurplepeop I can't believe I missed them! Ahhh...

[RadioDeadSound]

Dream concert: Hey Rosetta, Gaslight Anthem, The National.

[justemilyo]

Newfoundlanders = <3

[neueedenskate]

amazing!

[squrlgurl1687]

i love being Canadian :)

[sledhead567]

They make me proud to say I'm a Newfoundlander!

[squallguy]

Mummers and ugly sticks at 4:14 = awesome!

[gilliandawe91]

3 people did not find a spark.

[Mrhottastycakes]

Hey Rosetta. One of the greatest CD's I've purchased so far this year! 

[carski131]

ugh i i wish there was a way to just get everyone to hear them.. unreal

[betweenthebeautifull]

fantastic album for them. theyre going to go big soon.

[YouDontKnowMeLoser]

3 people disliked this video.... thats 3 to many..

[GBSFirebird]

@YouDontKnowMeLoser Should be negative 3

[UndeadCatapilla1]

Awe man I hate this part

when the car sails off the bridge

[hiphop1007]

@UndeadCatapilla1 I always have that stuck in my head for whatever reason! haha

[MyLifeIsMusic06]

This song is stuck in my head!

Damn..... :)

[xiaosainzboy]

A band with potential, but I'm not completely sold. The little interlude in the middle was out of place, I'm not sure whether they're a pop, rock, or punk band...the styles clash together but the thought is there.

[mark142tru]

@xiaosainzboy : If your finding any punk in this band Id suggest you relisten.

[xiaosainzboy]

@mark142tru I wasn't referring to this video specifically. Anyway, it's inconsequential; you're completely missing my point.

[bagelmanb]

@mark142tru I've heard Tim Baker himself call Hey Rosetta! a "punk rock" band on multiple occasions, so I guess he'd better relisten, too.

[stephisapirate6]

@xiaosainzboy POTENTIAL? I'm not completely sold on your music knowledge. Who are you to comment on if the interlude in the middle "was out of place" or "the styles clash." You clearly are a fool. I on the other hand along with many others feel this song is beautifully written. They have an amazing ability to write these charismatic songs with so many different layers and textures. They breathe so much life into every song with their unique climaxes and alluring lyrics.

[xiaosainzboy]

@stephisapirate6 I get that you like the band, and as a matter of fact I do too. But are you saying that everything by this band is exemplary? Some things they do particularly well and some things might not be as well-polished ( considering that perfection even doesn't exist in music). I am in the wrong because I failed to post laudatory comments and failed to berate those that disliked this video? If you think everything you listen to is PERFECTION then you're not listening closely enough.

[stephisapirate6]

@xiaosainzboy What I'm saying is that this band has a shit load more than just potential. So don't be so quick to jam them into one of your generalized music genres. Don't claim that I'm saying perfection when I tell you how amazing this band really is. Having a well-polished album does not mean it is perfection either. Clearly we have different opinions on the quality of their music.

[bagelmanb]

@xiaosainzboy I can't speak for anyone else, but yes, I am saying that everything this band does is exemplary. I have all four of their albums and every single song is phenomenal. So then you might say "oh sure, they can do well in the comfort of the studio" but sure enough, they are the best live band I have ever seen. As for your thoughts on this song, if you want a song that sounds the same the whole way through, go listen to Nickelback and leave the good music for folks who appreciate it.

[Ucallmelou]

I discovered this band this morning. I just forgot about every other band in the world. My music is going to start to live for this.

[mtrench2011]

HAHAHA i like how John fell ;)

[macdonrj]

Every time I go back and listen to the new album I find stuff that I completely missed. I love them because they sound similar to some of the stuff out there today, but have their own sound that totally puts other mainstream bands to shame. I am really hoping the break out in the U.S. because they don't deserve the same fate other clearly immensely talented bands from Canada have had to deal with.

Thanks guys, never thought twice about buying the new album, and it is way more than I expected!

[clancy6969]

When I saw the first dude with the sparkler, I thought "please don't be a video where they show a lot of "real" people holding sparklers", but it was, sadly.

[hyrulphicsound]

@clancy6969 Hey there were some crazy people holding sparklers too. Not just all real people lol XD

[Shep11111]

@CabeIsFly it's the price

[OpenMike90]

Song after song, show after show, album after album Hey Rosetta! just gets better. Beautiful music from a beautiful place.

[ahsplendour]

this song and video gives me goosebumps everytime.

they are so wonderful

[elizmurphy]

This year Arcade Fire. Next year, Hey Rosetta..

[Ryry543736]

yeah! two best canadian bands I know of... what else do you like?

[stephisapirate6]

I love this song & I love this video. Then again who doesn't love talented CANADIANS!!!

[robtheAMBULANCE]

3 people were from Quebec. Haters.

[Ihadahat]

would I be correct to assume the ballet scenes are kittiwake dance theatre's nutcracker performance? I didn't get to see their nutcraker this year but that totally looks like the arts and culture centre in st. john's.

and this song and video are amazing :)

[Shep11111]

@Ihadahat correct, everything in this video is taken from St.John's

[Ihadahat]

@Shep11111 awesome! I was thinking/ hoping everything was from st. john's! thanks for confirming that fact! :)

[triangle2904]

i love it

[triangle2904]

i like it its good



[The48thRonin]

Cool, great tune!

[Xloi63]

I just got the CD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im about to listen to the masters among humans.

Thank you Hey Rosetta

[FordBurden]

I remember a few years ago when they played in Corner Brook, telling Tim "you can't be in Hey Rosetta! and play a Squier guitar!". I was drunk. Now look at ya playin' the Gibson! Good look and good luck!

[carswell98]

this is the best rock band in Canada right now.

I want to move to St. Johns just to see them play more often

(and maybe to hit up the George Street Festival....)

[jessanderson100]

<3

[detigr]

This is a band that just gets better and better every single time they touch hand to instrument.

[cjnash13]

I love how they're so great and still just regular people. Saw most of the band at the Breezeway last night, enjoying the Pathological Lovers like everyone else, undisturbed.

I imagine in a few years they'll have hit it big and won't be able to do that anymore.

[wintersleep7076]

The way that girl lights up after Tim kisses her at 0:55 just gets me every time.

[UndeadCatapilla1]

@wintersleep7076

Just shows that they're not only lyrically articulate but visually as well.

I almost exclusively listen to hey rosetta, it's ridiculous

[jenniferchocolat]

@wintersleep7076 She is in the Red Song video too, I think she might his gf

[wintersleep7076]

@jenniferchocolat I'm fairly certain that she's Noah Pink's girlfriend.

But she obviously wants Tim... I mean, who doesn't?

[rcooke16]

Everything about this video makes me want to go back home to Newfoundland. Especially the glimpse of an India beer at 2:48.

[thm345]

The best part is definitely from 0:00 to 4:53!

[jesseburns02]

seeds is the album that pushes hey rosetta onto the big stage.. it's only a matter of time before this band rises from a canadian thing to international super-stardom

[WhammyDown]

@jesseburns02 Super-stardom? Doubt it. And hope not! They'll certainly get bigger, and rightfully so, but I think they'll remain somewhat of a best-kept-secret.

[MrMgroove]

Me! I keep comming back over and over and over again

[ericai7]

@alexgalea @MrMgroove Me too. I can't stop watching -- it's captivating! Who's the jerk who clicked the one dislike?!

[alexgalea]

Okay, who else keeps on going to Youtube over and over again to watch this :)

[onl1nepredator07]

this is amazing

[WhammyDown]

Damn, Tim gets himself some pretty fine ladies.

[BodaciousDerek]

DAAAAAH cant stop watching this

[eemelydiazz]

can something be this perfect



[harbourst1]

wonderful, inspired and sooo H.R. Missed tickets for their Brisbane show ( sold out ) but cant wait for the new album.

[harbourst1]

yes amazing video. Saw them a few years ago at Woodford ( six day music festival ) but missed out on tickets for their Brisbane show. Still, at least they come to australia so maybe next time. Cant wiat for the new album. GO Hey Rosetta.

[cellophanedeity]

Beautiful song, beautiful video.

Just as expected.

[aliciawilkins711]

aww yay, my dance company and school <3

[mckenzie818]

Amazing, I'm so excited for the new album!

[WilloOWeeping]

CBC Radio Tuque! <3

[newfmags]

This is fantastic! It makes me love Hey Rosetta! even more! :D

[jennabunnykins]

[jointhenameless7]

[BodaciousDerek]
