  • @Zippedychick ME TOO!! have you heard of his new band Fun? he's not lead singer but he plays the guitar for it...look you the song We Are Young by Fun..yes glee did do there own version of the song but the original is SO much better..you should check it out =)

  • @guardchick95 saw them twice last year, kthnx.

  • @guardchick95 Oh, sorry to budge in here, but the ban Fun isn't new.. they've been around since 08-09-ish I believe? But of course, since they're with FBR now, everyone assumes they're new, haha.

  • Got a closer look at the buttons on Hayley Williams' jacket in a picture. Glad she sent me here. This is a FANTASTIC band. :)

  • love these guys, can't wait to see ya'll again!

  • "Show Zero" was Conan O'Brien's first episode. Steel Train made a guest appearance and played the first chord off their album. You can watch it on YouTube.

    And they don't suck, I think they're awesome, and they're some of the most genuinely nice and hilarious guys out there.

  • This band has potential! I think they are an okay group!

  • Thumbs up if Harper's Island sent you here

  • He's singing about Alia Shawkat

  • @steves2ndaccount i thought it was scarlett johanson

  • @SR120 It is about scarlett, he used to date her.

  • he looks like a slightly bigger version of the singer from The Dead Milkmen

  • Lead singer looks like Andy Samberg from SNL and Hot Rod. Great Song and band though

    these lyrics... damn.

  • I was sent here by love.

  • I wasn't sent here by anyone. :3

  • this music is in harpers island :)

  • a little too O.A. for me

  • I don't really care where people heard of them from, but this song is awesome.

  • @CoaxRhino Hahaha! What an ignorant person!

  • Ooo'lala he is soo cute.

  • the lead singer is the guitarist for fun.

  • Great song, great band. i was send here because i was a fan of The Format, like forever ago. They used to tour with them :)

  • I'm here because of a comment on Cosmo Jarvis - Gay Pirates, this is great, but to return the favour that the person said on Cosmo's vid did... Listent to Cosmo Jarvis - Gay Pirates

  • First watched this video a couple years ago on Fuse....When we knew all was lost, but hoped it wouldn't suck again someday.

  • Heard about them from Tegan and Sara :)

  • @crimsonandclover1975 I checked out and fell in love with Tegan and Sara because of your comment. Thanks!

  • @requiemforatrain94

    Haha great, they're an awesome band! :)

  • First song I heard from them! I'm grateful that it lead me to their other songs.

  • Found by mistake... What an amazing mistake that was!

  • well i was actually sent here because i am a fan of fun. and the guitarist from there is the singer from here. not because of conan..

  • @lifeoftheparty2121 you must be a blast at parties.

  • this song sounds like another song i know but i cant think of it!!! its driving me insane!!!!

  • Lead singer looks like Andy Samberg 

  • Jack looks so different here with his long hair. lol.

  • Just saw them live it was amazing they sound soooooo good

  • Steel Train live is amazing and touring with Fun. just makes it that much better. Also, how are they associated with hot topic? um no

  • It's amazing how compelling that "one chord" was...

  • Was sent here by Conan. Because of "Show Zero"

  • awesome!!!

  • Show Zero

  • Ref'd by Show Zero....

    Sounds as if Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen had children.

    I'm sure it'll make it on a soundtrack or commercial.

    Good luck guys.

  • I saw them play one chord on Show Zero & decided to check the rest. Lol. I love Conan!

  • Lead singer looks like a young paul simon

  • haha this band sounds exactly like a combination of The Mountain Goats and Manchester Orchestra...

  • amazing live!! saw em w/ Fun :D 2 days ago

  • TEAM COCO!

  • conan

  • i got here through "show zero"....sounds pretty good

    0

  • I'm sorry that I have neglected you Steel Train. I forgot how much I love yooou. :'D

  • Vote up if you're here because of 'Show Zero'

  • @nameless007 That one chord was pretty cool

  • @nameless007 lol i wanted to know if it was a real band lol

  • Sent here by Conan!

  • @VisitorCz

    ME TOO! haha

  • @sandrizzle17 me three lol

  • @VisitorCz i too

  • @VisitorCz best chord ever.

  • @VisitorCz Me too! :D I'm so glad

  • I laughed at the guy who said the beginning sounded like a Fun. song. Does that person not realize that Jack Antonoff is in both bands, is undeniably a heavy part of both bands and is a heavy contributor in the creative process of both bands' songs, and this song in fact came out before Fun. released any albums (and possibly even before they actually became a full-fledged band)? People are so funny nowadays.

  • jack's hair!!! ahh haha he does look like andy samberg. i saw them live a few weeks ago, so great as well as fun.

  • Andy Samberg's band???

  • I saw these guys live last night then got to meet them all <3 So so so amazing. Love them.

  • I just saw them play with Fun. and it blew my mind! So great to watch live! Im so in love!

  • i saw these guys and love em

  • actually there are bands you can compare them to. like blink 182 and hellogoodbye

    they are way better than steel train so don't be saying that there are no bands dumbass

  • @THekiLl772 Dont even say that they will never be blink 182 you just made fun of blink 182 you should be ashamed with yourself

  • the bells make this song awesome.

  • @TheDillDaddy

    Just because you're jealous of his hair... tut tut tut.

    Great song though! :D

  • I made a youtube profile just so I can say how much I hate this song. Like I normally have respect for certain musicians but this just sucks. I can normally understand why some people like certain songs. This song reminds me of how much I hate nowadays music. Drive thru records used to be about punk and being badass not about wearing v-neck shirts and looking and sounding like a bunch of sissies.

  • i saw them last night with fun at the bellhouse in brooklyn. i had never heard of them before, but i'm def gonna buy the album now :D

  • They need to come back and visit Austin, Tx!

  • @mcflygirl1977 they are in november. they are touring with fun. right now

  • one of drive thru records best bands along with I can make a mess like nobody's business and so underrated. Also, Socratic can be added to that list... these bands don't get as much credit as they deserve...

  • saw them live!!! there bomb

  • andy samberg lookin mo fo

  • HAHAHAHAHA  fucking loser hippy indy fags. God works gonna blow tomorrow watching these wenies.

  • @bithslayer It's funny that you use the word "fag" because they lead singer actually dated Scarlett Johansson.

  • Rod Kimble can sing!

    Great song Great band.

  • Such a cool song. Love it! :)

  • Freaking love this song!

  • Jack's wearing a Jack shirt.

  • It's really hard to sound unlike anything ever done at this point. They may be unique compared to a lot of bands, but I think their music reminds me of Regina Spektor's for instance.

  • Does anyone else think that this intro and Vampire Weekend's Walcott intro sound similar?

  • GO NEW JERESY

  • oh my god i love you Jack Antonoff! =)

  • i discovered these guys at lollapolooza a couple years ago, really great find, i recommend seeing them live. i was actually a little disappointed hearing there recorded stuff for the first time after i saw them live.

  • Judging by the comments, this is either a love it or hate it band/song.

    I love it.

  • great song!!

  • there's nothing like this. incredible.

  • cool :-)

  • i'm here cause nate from fun said their album was his favorite album of the last 5 years, so i figured they'd be pretty good :)

  • @harvardlawfan - me too!

  • Jack kinda looks like andy samberg......lol...love the music boys, cheers!!!!!

  • This song made me fart. They sound serious. Nearly as freaky as jacko........

  • This band sucks majoorr dicckk

  • this song is bad, shut the fuck up you butthurt

  • I find these bands on purevolume.

    Jus sayin'

  • I <3 STEEL TRAIN. THe gUy playing the piano was the ORIGINAL young simba for BROADWAY'S THE LION KING

  • it sounds so different from what i normally listen to, and im surprised to say that even though i just found this, like a few minutes ago, i can't stop listening to them! 

  • i love how so many indie bands wear their own t-shirts. ITS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

  • man im just loving this! really good feeling music (: i need more Indie bands lol i kinda OD on my hardcore stuff :P

  • @Kanadienphatboy

  • saw them about a month ago... and then just saw the band, fun, last week... both awesome... can't get some of their songs outta my head lol

  • love this song.

  • queers

    fucking gay as hell

  • @shippo591 do you even listen to the lyrics? He's talking about a girl he fancies. Try not to be such a jackass.

  • @ambs823 Are you? The song is about a girl he lost. "The planes hit the towers, then she died and he died"

    "A million miles in the sky a fire burns,

    A fire burns, and i just let it all go" and, "Ill just sing what i have in the heavens above

    In the song in the sky a fire burns,

    A fire burns, a fire burns and its for you".

    Its about 9/11 ( I presume based on the planes and towers), and a girl he lost, and got over through music. The only girl he seems to be mentioning is dead.

  • @BleedCountry1 actually i'm quite sure i was right.

    In fact. He talks about three different girls and one guy (his cousin) during this song.

    girl one: his sister who didn't actually die during 9/11 but just weeks after. He said in an interview that, when looking back, 9/11 was the moment his life began spiraling downhill. He also mentions his cousin who died fighting during the Iraq war just after it began, also because of 9/11.

  • @BleedCountry1

    girl two: scarlett johansson. He dated her for many years and the relationship ended just after 9/11 as well. "I spent five years morning you and why? girl you're still alive"

    girl three: his girlfriend at the time of writing the song, alia shawkat, who has about a million and a half freckles on her face. "i count the freckles on her face one, two, three hundred times a day."

    maybe listen to the lyrics a little bit more before you jump to conclusions.

  • saw them at rwu and it was sweet, but they didnt play this song which i was pissed about

  • i saw them perform at a tegan and sara concert and im starting to like them

  • how many more of the same exact fucking bands are coming out?

  • @TheDillDaddy Who the fuck else can you even compare to this band? I don't recall there being any other band sounding anything close to this. Name one. That's right, you can't because there isn't one.

  • @TheDillDaddy You disgust me dickweed. The sad truth is that there are people out there like you who get all whiney and cry when a band comes out with good music. If you really think you were stating facts, you're the moron. Go back to you're corner and cry.

  • @00SkandySky00

    The band "Fun." They actually have a song with the nearly the same piano progression as in this one. It's called "Take Your Time".
