[qFelixp]

[liszioinsoluria]

love james mercer's voice~~~

 its one of those songs you'd be stupid not to add to the soundtrack of your life..

[xerwaq]

I wanna get the whole world high to this song.

[mitchell9959]

Actually, their song the ghost inside brought me here, on a genius recommendation for pumped up kicks by foster the people.

[SPOREthomas]

Thumbs up if the TV series 'Suits' didn't bring you here

[CheesePicklesFilms]

weird i was like the singer sounds like the guy from the shins and it turned out to be him

[coritheor]

@venezerrezavecmoi Well the band wrote the song and then recorded it, so i guess its finished for them. If you want to rerecord it though, feel free!

[jdmcginnis]

the chorus in this song is fucking brilliant! so feel structured and all together beautiful.. the harmonies are out of this world. fucking beyond inspirational. amazing..

[FlyFreeto]

I've been listening to this on a loop all day and I barely noticed. Good song

[ernathefat]

I could see a lone survivor walking away from the remains of our scorched society, after a nuclear war. Forever looking for any other people.....

[NekoAnjiru]

@ernathefat definitely..

[jamesday007]

this is great , its no shins yet , i miss him singing like there is no more tomorrow

[1989SJF]

Thumbs up if the TV series 'Suits' brought you here

[04JNS08]

@1989SJF James Mercer brought me here :)

[TheWallPhone]

Not bad. Two dislikes out of 208,576 views.

[LinKittyFace]

Wolf Parade meets Air in a bar and has a love child. Pretty good stuff.

[Gaknug000]

I think the 2 dislikes were accidence, just like the people that clicked dislike.

[TheMolt1]

@SaidTheSea I hate to be THE OTHER guy, but it has to be done: let your music (or whatever it is) speak for itself.

[thinklarge21]

I have never in my life enjoyed every song on an album

Every song on this album is unique and amazing

[MustangOliverSmith]

Best Indie rock band evar.

[thegreatstephano]

this album is amazing! if anyone is contemplating buying it it's worth it.

[PoiBoyProductions1]

@KewSama I see you stole my comment.

[KewSama]

@PoiBoyProductions1 What? Where? I'm sorry if I did. I usually don't look at other people comments when I comment.

[PoiBoyProductions1]

@KewSama haha.  Your funny Surya

[KewSama]

@PoiBoyProductions1 Are you calling me a liar, Keith? D:

[PoiBoyProductions1]

@KewSama no. now that i think about it

[KewSama]

@PoiBoyProductions1 Psssshhh. In the end, no one believes me. -3-

[PoiBoyProductions1]

@KewSama well, i didn't know it was someone from the same class at first :p

[KewSama]

@PoiBoyProductions1 Haha, well now you know man. : )

[KewSama]

I heard my Spanish teacher playing this album when I went in after school for homework help and he went from being lame to cool. xD

[mistermagorium64]

@Chrisdon1031 the album wasnt released until 2010...

[Chrisdon1031]

discovered this album in late 09' and NEVER looked back. It shall always have a special place in my heart. EVERY track is Epic and will take you to a different space, place and time in your mind. Broken Bells <3

[lusciousangel14]

Sounds a lot like the band Air.

[STEEZ4U]

@lusciousangel14 yes in the very beginning of the song, the music i can see that.....

[trevorgarford]

@lusciousangel14 ya does soubd very " Airey" alright. I like broken bells but when are the shins geting back in studio? do ya have any insight?

[altgirl84]

Broken Bells don't sound broken to me. =D

[ThreeDLee09]

@altgirl84 i dont hear bells so maybe they are ;)

[themoocht]

amaaaazing!



[Vostokesq]

whole album is song after great song...still keep coming back to this wee melancholic number! I defy you not to be shaking yer head at the end of this!

[DropDeadProjekt]

great song. could you please upload your head is on fire? thatd be awsome!

[dergeek14]

This band is right up my alley----these guys are trully awesome!!!

[Arsenefaithful]

wow. 

[kolaidman67]

I want more Gnarls Barkley! Separately Danger Mouse and Cee Lo Green are still winning Grammys, but together they're unstoppable

[soneoo]

DANGERDOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh wait you guys are white

[0armin0]

@soneoo haha love this comment

[TheNewWorldMan69]

god i love this band so chill

[MRAZININO1]

wish they had more music gaaaaawd

[segroves]

@MRAZININO1 The shins. Its the band before James Mercer went to broken bells(:

[ryanbrownrigg888]

Listen to my videos and i'll grant you three wishes

[Upnorth789]

What a gem this song is... great album too

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[JackLivesTogether]

This is hwy I am sick of the radio. They don't play beautiful stuff like this. They play musicians who only care about singles; not about the album as a whole.

[lizOkay]

luv them! but does anyone know what this song means?

[nast70]

I just stumbled along this band and these guys are the best thing I have heard since the shins, btw I heard that the shins lead singer sings for these guys is that true? Anyway open up your ears to gods gift to music.

[shannonxxox]

@nast70 Yeah, it's true (:

[xfreakmagnitx]

This is music. Try to convince me otherwise, i dare you.

[MagdalenaPanic]

@xfreakmagnitx

We're all on this page because we like this song/band. Why would we try to convince you otherwise? Lol

[SuperGamer87]

Danger Mouse is like Jack White--everything he touches turns to musical gold. Speaking of Danger Mouse and Jack White, I think The White Stripes and The Black Keys (another awesome band who Danger Mouse produced their last two albums) should collaborate on an album produced by Danger Mouse and call the album "The Greyest Album Ever" (after Danger Mouse's "The Grey Album"). How you like that idea?

[insomaniac999]

@SuperGamer87 That sounds like the most amazing thing in the world.

[coleslawish]

@SuperGamer87 That s what s commonly called a piano.

[greatestxgift]

@SuperGamer87 Danger Mouse didn't produce The Black Keys' last album as it was self produced with Mark Neil. He did produce one track on the album though.

[20willunited]

Loooooooooooove it

[GoodTimeGal1975]

See, there is good music out now, it's just hard to get it out to the masses. The lyrics are very timely.

[pvpmaniac2142]

idk why but all of there songs make me wanna go out in the moon light and just stare at it.

[ADoc1980]

This has a serious Floyd feel to it. I dig it.

[Levisonification]

Ghost Inside is better i think. but whole album is pretty cool.

[Christlover08]

Am I wrong for saying that my favorite Danger Mouse involved project is Demon Days? I mean still, everything the man touches turns to gold...a modern King Midas...Not to discredit James Mercer, the super talent that he is...

[Christlover08]

@Chinonye24 being this comment is 2 months old, I take it you bought it?:)

[HeatherCarter51]

This song comes to mind when I watch all the hate rallies on the news. I ask, "So what's it all about?" Beautiful, haunting album.

[PRLDRM86]

Love haunts till the end...from the moment that we're born, til we're old and tired...will we ever know people? Strong words...this record is great all the way through definitely vinyl worthy.

[lenny121]

fuck i need money.. so much music i have to buy

[thasinhavieira]

It's like a modern pink floyd... the whole album is awesome

[manny30250]

for some reason this song makes me wanna cry

[tkdman9]

buy the cd if you want to hear more of them

[skel3t0nX]

One of my favorites on the album, love it.

[mottolarolla]

I love the mix between the two- mercer and danger mouse. you can hear both sounds at once and they mesh so perfectly. favorite right now!

[seanandtracey1]

this totally restores my faith in new music! can we get some more bands like this please???? i will be buying this cd, the first in 10 years!

[Kaiverfox]

I agree, so far this album is incredible.

[MrRamenBoii]

the whole album is amazing!!!

[MrCrosstiewalker]

I agree that this entire CD is fantastic!! Its a great collaboration, the best I've heard in a LONG time!!

[skillvy]

@deepfriedkittens

Thanks, I actually have a rjd2and morcheeba

I'll check out Unkle though!

[heyyjules]

beautiful.lyrically and musically.

[loveyourpolicestate]

god this band is good.

[Dubulous111]

I think Danger Mouse sampled PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss.

you can hear it from 1:34 to 2:02

Anyone agree?

[deepfriedkittens]

other bands in this genre you would like: RJD2, Morcheeba and UNKLE

[jenacyde79]

they almost sound a little like the velvet underground...very nice to hear something so original, though

[skillvy]

I just fell upon Broken Bells on RDIO and I haven't stopped listening to them all week while doing graphic design... I love them!

Does anyone know other bands that have this genre I would appreciate it

Peace

[jenacyde79]

@skillvy... try velvet underground, sonic youth, sorry they're all older bands, i've been out the loop for a minute

[The198519]

WOW 0 dislikes!!! Thats what I'm talkin about! Eat that lady gaga!

[wesselklooster]

Isthe whole album this good? I'm thinking about actually buying a CD for once, since i discovered this... please tell me!

[STEEZ4U]

@wesselklooster yeah the whole album is sick..

[TjSimmons18]

@STEEZ4U or is it healthy?

[altgirl84]

@STEEZ4U yeah it is



[12markito]

@wesselklooster omg, this album is the best ever.! you'll really like their music. My fav is The High Road. [=

[Christlover08]

@wesselklooster YES!!! Grab it!

[AvenTheAtheist]

@wesselklooster

Buy it; It's worth every penny.

[apc467]

Check out "the late show" preformance.. on that basis online you should buy it

[juliebear19]

@wesselklooster the album is fantastic! i bought it for my boyfriend for christmas and he loves it, as do i! every song has its own sound, sooo good!

[Jaanine94]

@wesselklooster buuuy it, EVERY song is good!

[Fatwood07]

@wesselklooster yeah its worth owning. at least add broken bells to your pandora playlist

[KillaTaco94]

@wesselklooster yeah man it would be a great investment

[gunandapackofsndwchs]

@wesselklooster Yes. This is a very good album in it's entirety. That's a rare quality. Top notch all the way!

They are coming out with a new one in a few days too!

[SuperHtwe]

@wesselklooster yes, this album is worth the 5bucks at amazon. the cover looks old intentionally.

[KMFDM781]

@wesselklooster There's not a single bad song on the entire album...that's saying a lot.

[buckleythree]

This is such beautiful noise! 

[Philly2002]

Broken Balls... what a great band!

[zavalael]

Just bought this album on Amazon the other day for $5...so good. I wish I bought it earlier! :)

[cheerbear237]

Wow, this is the first thing on You tube I've ever seen that had no thumbs down. Must be because it's amazing.

[The198519]

@cheerbear237 0 DISLIKES!!! BROKEN BELLS 4EVER!!

[jellick]

its like a perfect blend of coldplay and elbow! :)

[lahibb]

This entire album sends chills down my spine...SO stoked to see them here in LA this Fall!!!!

[Havcer]

I love the piano at the end of this song.

[TNME65]

i could listen to this alll day :] !!beautiful song :D

[Esieron45]

totally my style... ive been faking my music type this whole time, until now.

[sctpup]

a night song.

[zzcooldude]

good music

[darrelnicolaye]

Downloaded their whole album on iTunes. Amazing record. :)

[Adavur]

Broken Bells is so great. This song reminds me of Scissor Sisters - Return to Oz

[589216001]

wow these guys have so much fealing!

[chaseduran]

There's static in my head... I feel positively charged.

[handsinknead77]

This sounds slightly like Air. I was surprise to read of the Shins split up and the merging of Danger Mouse and James Mercer. I love the outcome!

[nosepilot44]

@handsinknead77 The shins split up?!!?!?! I did not know that.. I just thought he was playing with Danger Mouse now... that is so friggin sad. I love the Shins.

[LtBlue14]

@nosepilot44 The band isn't over - Mercer just had to kick the (terrible) drummer and the keyboard player. Mercer is also on a break from doing Shins stuff for a little while, probably from being burnt out because he needed to be the entire genius of that band, whereas here he gets to collaborate and not have the weight of the band on his shoulders. Also, search "I definitely see why he was seeking outside sources" to read quotes from the Shins' drummer on the split. I can't link on YouTube.

[handsinknead77]

@LtBlue14 I knew that he  fired two of his band mates but wasn't sure what became of Shins so I assume they split. Either way, I'm glad Mercer is continuing to make music. One of my favorite artists!

[handsinknead77]

[ghmark]

@handsinknead77 This album is better than anything the shins did IMO... I hope these guys can ollaborate some more.

[STEEZ4U]

yeah amazing album, had to upload this joint...

[589216001]

@STEEZ4U hahaha!

[WeEatBrainz]

@STEEZ4U Upload the leaked version of citizen.

[mccnowed]

@STEEZ4U buy the actual album?

[mandiecook]

Thank you to whoever shared this album! It's incredible, isn't it?!
