Ok Go - Of the Blue Colour of the Sky - 04 - Needing-Getting

[asullivan360]

the car version is so much better

[Wolfsruddel187]

the car version is better but the car sounds make it bad -.-

[Vytulkinas]

It better end at 2:47, in my opinion. The end is kinda awful. Still my favorite song.

[Nikedude18]

this is my new favorite song

[Nbudz100]

i love this song

[stuntim]

So much better than the original video ( shame, shame, such a shame)

[JohnnyVanilla1]

Foster the People + MGMT = OK Go

[FreezeDriedPrograms]

@JohnnyVanilla1 There's also an undercurrent of The Flaming Lips in here, I feel. : )

[itssaturdaysaturday]

This version is where it's at!

[killerfeature135]

Idk I kinda miss the old OK GO back when they were actually a rock band and not their current weird spaced out trippy whatever. *Sigh* To each his own though I suppose...

[eoinPalmer]

I feel like they ran the bass through a distortion pedal intangible a broken amp...and cranked the soundboard's gain all the way up.

[JRESHOW]

Love this song.

[necessarycha0s]

where has this band been all my life???

[jacekponiedzielnik]

actually i like it more than the video

[dmaccannell]

Hrm. I could have handled a little less reverb.

[digitalharassment]

I think I would like an acoustic version of this song.

[AwesomeJimJam]

@digitalharassment That would be phenomenal!

[KevinMcClain241]

@digitalharassment /watch?v=-hNYxhDVKJ0

[xSeaxSaltxDaysx]

i like the car version...idk, that bass kinda annoys me a bit :/ otherwise, i probably would've like this more...

[jamiejitsu]

the bass made me think my speakers were broken

[TheViolentDinosaur]

I have to say, both versions are fantastic. I can't choose a favorite. They both have their own perks and downfalls. Overall, a great song. Definitely purchasing.

[APAR1CIO]

i love the cars style but for hearing i prefer this

[Tukzify]

It's not that the tunes in the car video is better, the vocals is more authentic in it which makes the song overall better. It's like an A Capella :)

[ApolloNaught]

I heard this was recorded in a car or something, I don't quite know.

[TheAstonRapide]

@ApolloNaught /watch?v=MejbOFk7H6c&list=FLwo­NTwmyB1sZv-13CU4MtfA&feature=m­h_lolz here it is

[PerpetualJoy]

yeah the car video was amazing, really cool, but as far as listening is concerned, I like the studio version better. 'pparently i'm alone with that thought...

[4dog1234]

@PerpetualJoy Your not alone.

[slipperywhenwet5]

@PerpetualJoy The first half is incredible, but I don't much like the last half.

But Ill continue listening for the first half.

[zZSoSiiKZzxD]

Other version.



[dshodaw]

So prefer the car version of this song :/

[RoninCZ]

could someone explain me why is this video 1 semitone above the tuning that you can hear on the CD?

[TheSmooken]

The car version blows this one out of the water.

:(

[caimmizard]

You couldn't realease this track three years ago... when I was alright with my girl and I had not left her just because EXACTLY the reasons named in this song????

[towersmobile]

I like the car version better....

[ChrisGski3]

MEATHEADS!

[HeadBanger868]

like the car cause you can hear the voice better they have to make a acoustic version be awesome three! verisons of a song EPIC! :D

[KvotheTheArcane69]

my playllist has this one and the car :)

[Hamma235]

needs more car

[gonzogriffin24]

...but where's the drop? i thought everything was dubstep these days...

[muckyukkerman]

....this video is pitched up

[xxxtefennixxx]

This song took me to a different place, where the shit am i now !?

[grothita]

What the fuck why are people preferring the Car Version over this? The Car Version was made for more of a 'heh that's pretty cool' reaction, not for actual song genius, this version of the song is fucking awesome, TONS better than the car version and too much guitar isn't an excuse.

[tehVinyl]

@grothita Sarcasm.

[sushiphage]

@grothita For one, the visual impact/novelty of the accompaniment being created by the collisions of projections and extensions of a running car with various instruments. Another being the lack of audio editing especially for the vocal track. Above all, it's the rawness and the subtlety of the acoustic experience that stems from your mind's ear attempting to weave every cling and clang into the continuity of the song.

TL;DR This version is good (needs "moar cowbell"). Car version is great.

[mjgately1]

@sushiphage you shouldn't try to write your dissertation within a youtube comment.

[vladislavzalesak]

@sushiphage I approve this message.

[fourseam33]

@sushiphage spot on. Don't let those haters bring you down just for using proper english, and fully explained thought. And i hateeeee sushi... bahaha MOAR COWBELLLLLLLLLL!!!

[ledzendrix1128]

@grothita "What the fuck why are people preferring the Car Version over this? "

^This question isn't worthy of a response, but here goes...

Humans don't share the same brain.

[AbyssLucker]

Im gay

[blurtss]

If you listen really closely at 4:19 you'll hear the ending from "It's a Disaster." Pretty interesting.

[Gearsdisraeli]

Love Tim's bass playing. His style has serious personality. 

[ps3man4eva]

Hmm i really never listened to OK GO, recently the commercial has been everywhere. I decided to come here and listen to the original..

tl;dr WHERE THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN? *slaps face*

[ozziedoggy14]

i had this album and deleted it because i needed space on my computer. had NO idea that this song was in it, and after seeing the video, i think its time i re-download it :p

[rong9tagger]

recently told a friend of mine that i needed space away from her, we became intimate, problem is shes messing with my head (not intentionaly) but she has a boyfriend, she knows i love her, and i know she dosnt feel the same but i cant stop feeling that way, theres alot more too it than that... long story short i told her i want space and that was 4days ago, im already losing my mind with missing her so much

this song has put things into perspective, fits so well and helps me no end

OKGO <3

[jamespatrickpage1944]

@rong9tagger im in the same shit with ya

[corysytaccount]

@rong9tagger are you me?

[darthvari]

Needs more piano

[SpontanSquad]

I like both versions too, but in my opinion this is too long.

[dark76300]

I prefer OK Go - Needing/Getting - Official Video With Chevrolet :D

[downsider002]

The video version's vocals need to be muxed over the instrumentals in this version, and I'd be a very happy person.

[AlexSHavok]

great song but yeah im going to have to agree and say the car version is better! like the vocals in it better IMO

[mmurphk23]

chuck me!



[IndieAnalJones]

Car version is funny and so on, but boys, this one gives me shivers, is so full of emotion

[theshawnkelly]

Why are people fighting over which version is better? @LifeNotRules has it so right, both versions are good. Each song has their merits, this version doesn't have all the car noises and is more on time and the car version is so creative it's insane. Enjoy this great song no matter what.

[WiiMoat]

@JohnAzzi430 Put more simply, the music video is a more acoustic version.

[Scullnblades]

@kgoodies008 I know but some people like the actual music in the official video version more because it differs. It has nothing to do with what happens in the actual video. But the beat, riff and overall beat varies.

[JohnnySebre]

@kgoodies008 These past few days I've been playing the car version on repeat while working on emails and stuff, just listening to the clip without actually watching it. Does that mean I don't like the band?

[lalalakati]

@kgoodies008 not your problem

[GadgetProfessional]

@kgoodies008 I'm a big fan of OK Go and I prefer the car one over this one. In my opinion, YOU are the bad fan here because you have no respect for anyone else's opinion but your own.

[Moviesan69]

I heard the car version first. I prefer that version better.

[BMW735ILLL]

I like this version better...



[datrippledot]

... It needs a mix where they use the instruments that they used in the Car Vid ... because the song is so much better acoustic ... but when its played by a car going 100km an hour its a bit off

[krshgr]

Wow this actually sounds pretty awful compared to the car video. Dang..

[bjgyoutubing]

sadly the instruments sound better when they are being smashed by a speeding car. :)



[EmoHippieStudios]

i prefer the first half of the song done by car but the second half is a relief from the crazy but flawless guitar mashing. It also sounds very modest mouse-y

[PIEgunz]

Whichever song people hear first is usually the one they like better. I found this song buried in my iPod like 3 months ago so i like this version better then the car version. People who saw the car one first will probably like that one better. usually.

[micahjodan]

@PIEgunz people who know the album since 2010

hipster chic

[bookworm417]

@PIEgunz I guess i'm an exception. I heard the car commercial first. However, I prefer this version over that one.

[TotesTom]

People who like ok gos music will like both versions of songs

People who watched the car video thousands of times and just couldnt get the song out of their head are kinda lame

[LifeNotRules]

I like both versions, personally.

[DorkFoxLady]

@Mertinkle amen :)

[plutonij210]

Too much guitar, the car version is much better ;)

[DaSuperBest]

@plutonij210 no such thing as too much guitar

[plutonij210]

@DaSuperBest That is right, but it's good (better) to mix some other tones beside...

[DaSuperBest]

@plutonij210 MOAR GUITAR!

[TheLeelith]

@plutonij210 NEVER TOO MUCH GUITAR!!!

[plutonij210]

@plutonij210 I have listened this song so many times that I already like it, with all the guitars :D

[michaausleipzig]

@plutonij210

check out the car version again! i dare say that after 2:30min in the car video there are way more guitars than here! :D

[thebigtmac]

@plutonij210 but this has 286 less guitars than the car version......

[stellabluelulu]

haven't heard this song in a while since i lost all my music. The uploader made this song higher pitched

[CDsisters]

I'm in love with his acoustic voice in the car version.

[ansoniaproductions]

Rhythm, This song has none. None the less, good song.

[TiffanyRoyaleS]

@ansoniaproductions Wha? Yes, it does :/

[Swiggudy]

@ansoniaproductions Its called Compound Meter. any musician would know.

[ansoniaproductions]

@Swiggudy Well guess what smart ass, I'm not a musician.

[iParkCore]

@ansoniaproductions Then don't talk shit faggot.

[ansoniaproductions]

@iParkCore I SAID IT WAS A FUCKING GOOD SONG, EASE THE FUCK OFF

[PIEgunz]

@ansoniaproductions Haha... your an idiot. You 1. Shit on a good song by saying it has no rhythm. 2. Get told off by someone who knows much more about music then you. 3. Get very aggravated at the person who is smarter than you 4. Get very mad and swear and cuss. (*SIGH* Trolls should get of the internet)

[ansoniaproductions]

@PIEgunz I go to one of the top private schools in the country, I'm at the top of my honor student class and I have never got a score below a 95% on any of my tests. Yea, and I'm the stupid one.

[plukerpluck]

@ansoniaproductions I can't believe you just tried to justify yourself with credentials online.... especially if you're 13... I mean.. that's not even really an argument. You may know everything you've been taught but that's probably not really that much... Now what happens if I say this song has a strong beat ... I study in Oxford, must be true.

For reference it's a 6/8 beat which then shifts to a 7/4.

[PIEgunz]

@ansoniaproductions Good for you. But you are still stupid in many ways. The fact that you deny being stupid makes you an idiot. Just don't get so mad when a person smarter then you corrects you on something. No one is always correct, when you realize that you will truly be smart. Rhythm.

[Mertinkle]

@ansoniaproductions Definitely in 6/8 before the breakdown, then it switches between 4/4 and 3/4 every measure.

I guess it only has rhythm if you know how to count. ;)

[acrookedking]

@Mertinkle I find it easier just to count it in 7/4, but either way works, I guess.

[Gearsdisraeli]

@ansoniaproductions lmao, what? I think you have no rhythm, or maybe a broken metronome.

[IAMJEVON]

This song just became a lot more popular because of the ok go video

[THAREALDAN]

This song is good minus the screechy, earsplitting high pitched part

[Smil2007]

This song is awesome :D

[naminaty1]

This song is higher to avoid copyright strikes

[cmurda31080]

I like the car version better

[OmarXRodriguezXLopez]

@cmurda31080 Trying to be a thumbs-up whore I see. Nice try.

[cmurda31080]

@OmarXRodriguezXLopez Dude I just said i liked the car version better. That does'nt mean i don't like this one also. Stand down your internet troll bro.

[OmarXRodriguezXLopez]

@cmurda31080 Thought you were trying to jump on superdisconinja's bandwagon

[cmurda31080]

@OmarXRodriguezXLopez Its cool bro. Anyway its OkGo, i like everything they do lol.

[kamenridershadow2039]

the opening rhythm sounds like Arcade Fire's "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)"

[Emulatedemblem]

@acidshane

Wrong lyrics. You act like we didn't just hear the song.

[CH0Plogic]

wow the edited version sucks...

[Dream1nColour]

I watched the video and fell in love with this song

[JohnAzzi430]

I actually like the video version more, the intro is cooler since it builds, instead of just coming in. also the dead space created by having to drive to different parts of the track, allowed for the vocal performance to shine.

[Richieee070]

@JohnAzzi430 they should've gone acoustic in the studio.

[ukegirrl]

i accidentally pressed the dislike button but i meant to press like! :( so i liked it like 50 times.. one of my favorites of the album<3

[itssuaves]

@ukegirrl we forgive you, and the 3 others who also missed the like button :)

[qnarr]

car tune!

[Afarakistan3]

thumbs up if the video is awesome

[acidshane]

i have been waiting for months waiting for years waiting for you to change but there aint much just dumber, aint much just dumber then pitting your hopes on the change of another And i still need you but what go is that gonna do needing is one thing but getting, Gettings another So i have een sitting around waisting my time wodering what you've been doing but it aint real forgiving, it aint real forgiving sitting here picturing somone else living

[mrgrizzly73]

The more of their videos I watch, the more I like this album

[ccgp13]

Check the official video please.

[superdisconinja]

I like the car version better...

[Cherryallypop]

@superdisconinja Me too.

[drwuggles]

@superdisconinja Get the fuck outta here, the songs even better without the video.

[mustafasadmansakib]

@superdisconinja absolutely. the car version sounds more authentic.

[KylKov]

Well that was great till about the halfway point.

[kitchbaby101]

it dont get much dummer than trying to forget a boy when you love him

[BatteryBlaster]

@kitchbaby101 It don't get much dumber than misspelling "dumber"

[mossiato]

@BatteryBlaster it "doesn't" :/

[Taint3dWing5]

@mossiato lol he said don't because that's how the song says it lol

[BatteryBlaster]

@mossiato I said don't because the lyrics in the song are "It don't get much dumber" not "It doesn't get much dumber"

[kitchbaby101]

@mossiato lol!

[kitchbaby101]

@BatteryBlaster dont be a douche i just like the song..relax

[BatteryBlaster]

@kitchbaby101 No hard feelings :)

[kitchbaby101]

@BatteryBlaster we're good

[FacestealerKoh]

Much better than the retarded music video version..

[chinesedude711]

OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO!!! :D (unlisted as of right now)

/watch?v=MejbOFk7H6c

[coolfoolroolz]

This song got me 20 bucks, because I saw the music video half an hour before the game, turned to my bud and said "hey, I bet you 20 bucks that this music video will be part of the super bowl ads." I was right. Thank you, Ok Go.

[bootyplus]

SuperBOOOWWWWWWLLLL WOOOO GIANNNNTTSS BABY fuck new england

[Omegamer]

Great band, I learned of this song due to the superbowl.

[Freedawk]

SUPERBOWL

[thenoseknows]

In case you guys didn't know, their music video for the song just came out and is amazing. Unfortunately, right now it's Youtube unlisted so... " /watch?feature=player_detailpa­ge&v=MejbOFk7H6c#t=0s " - you're welcome.

[AstroNAZI]

Pitch is wrong. Either that or it's sped up. Not like the album version.

[redtiger7849]

to good to be true

[ihavethebox]

Now this is a fucking song.

[spartus793wa]

ok go could make nyan cat 10X better

[albinolucario]

Favorite song on this CD

[swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12]

That's weird...On mine the song is one key lower...Anyway, great song! BTW, I have a question. Is MediaFire illegal, because you can get songs from there for free, and I downloaded it this album from it, but I think it might be illegal....

[wonderpig122]

@swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12 it's not the same, as it's one key lower, but i'm no legal wizz but i'd guess no it's not because of the one key lower

[MrClichekid]

@swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12 Of course it's illegal! If you don't have to pay for it, it's illegal. Unless the artist has released it for free.

[theclinger]

@MrClichekid Creative commons and blah, blah, blah. Sorry for being pedantic (this would pretty much fall under "the artist has released it for free" though).

[swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12]

@MrClichekid When you buy a song, you don't buy the actual song, you buy the rights to listen to a song. There's no law (except SOPA, but that's not a law - It's a bill.) that's against passing that right on to other people.

[Parsignia]

@swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12 Totally illegal. Keep getting your music from there.

[234goomba]

@swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12 on an unrelated note, how the fuck do you remember your username to log in?
