[drufo69]

youtube im sick of these bloody ads! i had my headphones on up loud ready to listen to the foxes and got absolutely ear raped by a ridiculously loud ad.....traumatised i was, thank god for the fleetness of the foxes to heal my busted drums.

[JujuForTheWin]

@drufo69 I don't know if there's a link, but i got fa pluggin called Adblock Plus on Firefox and I don't get Youtube ads. Check it out!

[Tyler106334122]

[HentaiFutziii123]

so i dont know why i hear this song :/

[nickfromCO]

Jesus rocks!

[1989stigma]

besides the beautiful music here which speaks for itself, i love the production value of this video. The retro colors, the camera work, the goats...

[terrybeaton]

I hear a faint echo of the "British Invasion" in this song. Faint but deffinatly there.

[xxorionloralxx]

Goin All Dewie Cox Style, i love it

[trevster2905]

Robin Pecknold is my Jesus

[jthameschoir]

theyre like a 21st century Beetles. they look just like them.

[numberonecurefan]

If you like band of horses/ midlake/ fleet foxes then you might like British band called FOSSIL COLLECTIVE. They have a great vid on youtube called ON & ON - check it out xx

[lronmice]

2:05 goat sings brilliant harmony.

[Beatgeneration2010]

Superb song, great harmonies....but jeeeezzz what were they thinking about doing this video? Sack the producer lol

[sparrowandseagull]

Colossally brilliant



[misssamstown]

did the Killers cover this song?

[Dwhales4]

MUSICAL GENIUSES

[SighNoMore100]

This is read headed jesus!! Love him and his music is beyond creative and original.

[ploughran88]

i adore fleet foxes, i dont belong in the world im in, i belong in a world like theirs :(

[cristiandonosoc]

@ploughran88 Then go live in that world. It won't be easy, but it can be achieved. Good luck!

[jadekillcity]

looks like a deleted scene fom jesus christ super star

[jonnyvibgyor]

there's a great new band from the uk by the name of fossil collective if you like this kind of stuff....check the track 'on and on' on you tube....

[hannahbelle44]

freelance whales commercial :)

[marion91is]

Jesus and his 12 brothers^^

[WeMustPlunge]

It's Jesus! :o

[Aircadtes]

Do you shampoo your beard? never thought of that before, never had one that big x)

[6stuckinlimbo6]

i really do love them

[bowsnflowers]

best fleet foxes song by far

[crazypineapples91]

Woah...when I heard this I thought for sure that this must be a cover of an older song. That is really saying something. I wish I had heard of Fleet Foxes earlier!

[Haitigotpwned]

@both of the top comments.  im with both y'all.

[TheGreensteen]

I love goats nearly as much as I love the Fleet Foxes

[mattahiaz]

hey goat what are you doing in a musicvideo

you are a goat you can't even play the instrument

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

Jesus Christ made a band :)

[Godzillabug1]

@Mr11MUSICMAN : no, jesus returned and hes the singer of the band

[mymsong]

who are these guys lol

[LadyLamya]

beuark sous produit des 70 's degoulinant de psychedelisme de supermarché

[vbmatak]

I don't understand their style. The 70's already happened. Growing bears and wearing hemp doesn't make you unique. It's already been done. Their music is good, otherwise.

[Malaikat31]

@vbmatak

I don't understand your style. Ranting on youtube videos allready happened. Hating bands you don't normally listen to doesn't make you unique. It's allready been done. The comment is good, otherwise.

[DesertSmeagle]

@vbmatak ya, and the 70s had some of the best music ever. This is amazing. The whole 70s style is everywhere in todays society....are they trying to be unique? There music is certainly unique...who cares what they dress like.

[MisplacedBoxes]

@vbmatak Well, you see. I don't think they are forcefully trying to be unique. They enjoy this style music and they enjoy expressing themselves through it for us to enjoy, If you don't like it. Move on and find something that you like. (Although you liking something isn't unique is it? because it already happened)...

[nomadicdrone]

@vbmatak sometimes it's less about being unique and more about self expression and comfortability...I know it is hard to believe but some people in this world don't actually care how people percieve their "style" because a style is something subjective very much like any art form or visual expression

[BeeStarLovesMoon]

@vbmatak

walking has been done but people still carry on doing that sherlock..

who says who cant wear hemp, its a good material. Loads of people still wear it

[HungryMungry]

I think it's about a mugger who spent the last two years doing horrible things, but he's trying to come back to his family. >see your rugged hands and a silver knife twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold so tight all the evidence of your vacant life my brother you were born Muggin' people in the gentle light as the morning nears you don't say a single word of your last two years well you will be, you've reached the frontier i didn't understand, no Family...? Maybe.

[carlosm112]

Dude who the fuck cares about what they look like, their music is amazing. People and cultures chane over time but the music they made remains forever. It was disco back in the 1977-1980, and then the 80's pop, then came nirvana and the grung look. Now i gues its indie and hipsters, it always going to change but the great music remains, and anyone who badmouths an entire genrea of music just because they dont prefer it should go learn tolerance.

[nomadicdrone]

did anyone ever think the goats symbolize stubborness which is kinda what the song is about....haha

[mayhaps1]

If you are calling these guys hipsters then you are giving hipster a good connotation ;)

[biteitinthe]

yes, it's so normal to sing in a barn that is full of little goats and to have goats sit on your lap.. no of course they don't smell cause its hipster world.. duh.

[grimdimly]

Sorry...there's no room left at the inn for you to play. If you want you can play in the barn out back.

[shani1568]

Weird video, but one of my favorite songs in the whole world. I can really relate to the lyrics, I think their about an older brother with an alcohol/drug problem getting help. Really beautiful.

[MSAZgreen]

No need to worry about the daing goats. I'm sure they enjoyed the music too.

[ShadowGunner82]

Good song...but what's with the goats?

[Shaman145]

These guys look like fucking hipsters...

[B2KIrishk9]

class

[jhonySplat]

My brother u' were gone ....there's nothiin'

[pastaface100]

I am the son of a goat and I'm not too keen on this...

[SorrowfulMystery]

The Goats Who Stare at Men!!!

[TheShadowfox99]

Ahh, I love songs that don't tell me how much fun the singer is having!

[Geschmack]

Darbot's cover is so much better than the original.

[SorrowfulMystery]

That was absolutely hilarious!!!! Especially where it looks like the goats are joining in. BTW, what are the bass player's and keyboardist's names? I've never been able to figure out who they are.

[mrsmcwilkinson]

@SorrowfulMystery casey plays keyboards and chirstian is the bass playler.

[TheJankonikolic]

i love fleet foxes.there's something eschatological within their formation. they're like brotherhood

[SorrowfulMystery]

@TheJankonikolic Do you know what eschatology is?

[TheJankonikolic]

@SorrowfulMystery well.. you can find the word in the dictionary... what i meant is that their music along with their appearance, at my opinion, contain recalls of a religious sphere announcing a possibility of a different way of being a musical band, almost a brotherhood... and i think that's what the most of their songs are about... about brotherly relations..

[heybuddy84848]

Wow!!! the words of the song almost match up to this 60's music video perfectly!!!!! and they kinda looked like fleet foxes too.....whoever they were.

[ShadowGunner82]

Dude, the Jesus look doesn't work anymore...

[xunderxconstructionx]

@ShadowGunner82 the jesus look always works on a guy, its hott

[xunderxconstructionx]

@ShadowGunner82 the jesus look always works on a guy, its hott

[tbjpgr3]

what a convincing manger scene.

[1PetiteMome]

looks little like a typical scene on a picture of the artists of early barock--like Rembrandt

[zonyy]

Simply their best song.

[NicoleStagg]

haha Taco Bell is so hip!

[WaltzeswithFoxes]

I love them

[Maharoba]

i was having some taco bell the other day and they played this song. i was like.. wtf?

[ceh2574]

The goats are bringing the heat...their A game is staggering!

[tristatecomedy]

I saw this video on Strictly Global....the goats still confuse me...awesomeness

[RestingManatee]

hahah DOG @ 2:37

[coenenoud]

Compliments to the Fleet Foxes!

[earthstudent]

I am at a Sizzler restaurant in LA and guess what song just played over their PA system?

This fabulous song " There's Nothing I Can Do".

[rourkey9]

B E utiful

[jaaramonk3y]

@rourkey9 A? :)

[jimboshizz]

so good, love casey's response to the goat.... so weird to see robin playing an electric though!

[MrPurpletip]

rock and roll awesome

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Absolute Magic!

[ladyjade1200]

Um... They are slowly being surrounded by goats? Haha awesome XD

[ladyjade1200]

Wow, does this video have a total 70s vibe quality or what?

[hobgoblinlkjfdsa]

a very photogenic group

[PongoPower]

Hah. Lovely :D<3

[IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO]

Lets all grow a beard and live with goats in the country

[vivimaze]

@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO sounds like a plan to me :D

[akotasun]

@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO That sounds like a great idea.

[bullseyegurl]

@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO Boo! I can't grow a beard!

[mikeyyvalencia]

@bullseyegurl cut an onion and rub it on ur face

[inayaw]

@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO

And I'll make food from goat's milk and all that in the kitchen, where I belong, and hopefully give birth to fully bearded babies.

[Rushgoon1]

there is nothing, I can doooo

[diestel123]

in the beginning it looks like he is wearing a hood. but i looked closer and it is just his hair.

[greetingsnicole]

man oh man who doesn't love the fleet foxes they're pretty much the most radically awesome band everrrrr

[MyLuckyLilFellow321]

Hearing this song for the first time I thought "this sounds like jesus" and then...this. =P Anyways, I love this song.

[indisaac1]

is that a teisco bass??

[Qber4life]

@indisaac1 I was trying to figure out what type of bass that was for A LONG TIME. Thanks for identifying it!

[blizzn01]

the outro is just so catching!! i sat an hour at the piano to figure it out. simply amazing

[cslan4]

Goats?

[sptfgpn]

Liberate those goats. They've done nothing wrong.

[realityinvazion]

@sptfgpn That's why they're being rewarded by getting to hang out with the Fleet Foxes.

[Guitarstring187]

this band is really good for new music

[lejoe48]

mi video favorito en youtube ahora mismo

[godofrapture1]

I can guarentee if you put this song on the Beatles Rock Band game the kids playing the game wouldnt be able to tell the difference.

[partofasentence]

its a strange comment for a Fleet foxes video.

but strangely, i do agree!

[vivimaze]

haha he looks like jesus in the opening the lighting and framing is perfect xD

[steiketa]

best song of the last couple years!

[RubixCube950]

Wonderful song, looks soooo old, but it is still in one of my top favorite songs, good on the lyrics, besides the small mestakes

[ksz79]

mistakes.

[bendertl31]

These guys remind me of the band, America, but a bit more abstruse.

[CrossBonesStyle1998]

I thought the same thing, especially when I heard Mykonos. It reminded me of America's work for The Last Unicorn soundtrack.

[dannewtonful]

I think this song is about addiction.

[JLKnoxville]

me too...

"20 dollars in your hand that you hold so tight...."

"And you will try to do what you did before,

pull the wool over your eyes

for a week or more....

....let your family take you back

to your original mind"

yep.

[Guitarstring187]

to sex lol

[Radicals888]

I love goats!.....Ok,... I like Fleet Foxes also

[bjosey67]

I love this song. And yes, it's not a new sound. Definitely a big 60's influence that is like a breath of fresh air!!

[ThePincilPrincess]

I'm so in love with this man's voice. I cannot get over it. The whole shibang is amazing, their music is so good! It totally reminds me of that amazing John Lennon too! <3

[PabstBlueRibbons]

Finally a new sound. I have been stuck in the 90's and earlier for music (save MGMT). Fleet gives us something completely new.

[TechnicolorGroove]

its not a new sound. If you look back to the 60's youll notice something quite familiar. Personally I think its a beautiful second coming of this music style!

Peace & Love

[MrKennyBones]

Amazing chord arrangements :)

[ManifestThis]

i absolutely adore fleet foxes

[emilee537]

I love th goat on the piano.

[maintainyourbeard]

this is rediculous... so good

[alrampa]

rural hipsters, how can they make the gouts sing too? i missed them today at All Points West, caramba !

[clokverkorange]

The original poster got some of the lyrics wrong.

"Well you will be, you've reached..." should be "Where you were or when you reached the frontier"

"Twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold..." should be "Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight".

[LOLEstacia]

I am absolutely in love wit this guy's voice. I can't get over it.

[gen0x]

Fleet Foxes is so far beyond anything out there now. God damn.

[4Pints4Me]

Love the song. Love the video. It would have been nice if the poster had actually taken the time to put the correct the lyrics with the song. The real ones are so much better than these mondegreens.

[Tehn00busters]

The killers did a cover of this! I WANT TO HEAR IT :'[

[CescasYooTube]

that's the first time i've seen their video for this amazing song, I found the bit with the goat at 2:08 kinda funny, he looks so awkward like "ok where do i put his legs now??"

[vivimaze]

robin looks like jesus

[emeraldbaby96]

yeeaaahhhhh. he does. lol.

[renaud68]

hahhahaha. yes!

[valleyjon]

2:52

[clokverkorange]

Seattle has such a tradition of putting out amazing bands - Nirvana, Screaming Trees, Foo Fighters (sortof), Sunny Day Real Estate, and now Fleet Foxes. God bless the rain, I guess, for keeping these guys inside making music instead of outside like...playing badminton.

[dejongegod0]

everyday a new great song is born isn't that great......... it just keeps on going!

keeps my blood running

[ChloeStoner]

haha I like this comment. But I do have something to add, us Seattle people don't stay inside when it's raining, we go outside and think deeply while getting soaked. Good for lyrics! :D

[drstevie]

only band i wanna see live,in a small venue. TOO LATE!!!

[Kuntakwinte]

best of rock werchter last weekend!

[blehiris]

their harmonies exemplify perfection

[Sianara001]

I think it's "my brother you were gone" and "original life"
