Broken Bells - Insane Lullaby (from Dark Night of the Soul)

[kistenmacher215]

broken bell is the shit

[KaleidoPod]

This song is so beautiful, much better than the original; mainly because it does not have the distortion distracting from James Mercer's angelic voice.

I could listen to it over and over again, and I would never grow tired of hearing it.

This was the first song I ever heard by Broken Bells, and they are now among my top 5 favorite bands. Then again, how could you go wrong with a duo like James Mercer and Danger Mouse?

To put it simply; Fucking. Amazing.

I wonder what that room would turn into after a basket of mushrooms and a jug of hydrocodone. Probably find Jesus in the corner rolling a dandy doobie, high five you as he licks the paper and invites you to sit.

[kpotassium]

20 seconds in and I've already favourited

[TheRocksta]

One of the great voices. Just beautiful.

[nokeystothecity23]

This song reminds me why Hip Hop is Dead.

[desertrose575]

I like how we see the trumpet player blow into his instrument to warm it up before playing. It's so candid.

[TheRocksta]

What a voice.

[PastFlow]

I used a youtube video to mp3 converter (easy google search) and now have this on my ipod. Just saying.

[ysf665]

The shins



[vanboarder]

Soooo didn't expect him to look like that.

[shooterreed72]

I would love this on my i-pod!!! Brilliant!

[billabongwoop]

thats proper music, done the old school way :) none of that record the music then the lyrics and lay em together crap this is real talent :)

[stephentube9000]

Stunning!

[WIlliamMunnyOutlaw]

This looks pretty easy to play on guitar. I saw him playing only g, c and I think d

[LeadJoeyy]

very original song. very smooth. I love these two together. Im glad that this song version only has 22k views... makes me feel as if my music taste is elite.

[ARayment313]

@LeadJoeyy lol, you status hungry queer

[oleosis007]

soooo much better than the album version

[13xwiley]

Danger Mouse is a genius, everything he's done is magic.

[movoning]

I don't think the album version is bad. In this version, you can only hear a lullaby, but it doesn't have the insane factor.

[heyyjules]

the album version sounds like shit pancakes. THIS SOUNDS AMAZING. idk why they have that annoying static on the album.

[Fantasticfutures]

@heyyjules

Because DangerMouse feels the need to overproduce everything he touches.

[PLeasureJet]

@heyyjules YOu fuck off.

[PLeasureJet]

this song FUCKING SUCKED

[ShrCanIt]

@PLeasureJet  Ты хуй!

[daiellis]

@blahman123x I think you mean the film America Beauty not American History X, and yeah, this is Kevin Spacey's new band.

[MALOCHSKATES]

Edward Norton? Bite curb dude, bite the curb.

[blahman123x]

is this the actor from american history x

[PLeasureJet]

@blahman123x he looks more like kevin spacey then edward norton

[blahman123x]

@PLeasureJet

looks like a cross between spacy and norton hehe

[killingspree]

well that was terrible.

[heyyjules]

@killingspree this genious music was terrible?

[TurboPuns666]

Nhis guy has a beautiful voice

[heyyjules]

Too beautiful for words.

[BennBrownie]

Beautiful song. James Mercer really makes the song shine, with his outstanding vocals.

[t0rment2004]

My least-favorite DNOTS track because of that overpowering noise beat. Without it you can realy see how great the song is.

[S23Ryan]

its almost too peaceful

[headphonemicrophone]

um. this is an incredible song. can this version be downloaded anywhere in mp3??? my 99 cents is waiting.

[cariepace]

what do you guys think this song is about? im struggling to find a meaning in the lyrics, but i think im thinking about it too hard...

[k0k0jamb0]

@cariepace i'm not sure. the lyrics are confusing, but whenever i hear the song i think of loss, longing, inadequacy, uncertainty and nostalgia.

[DennisEatsFood]

@cariepace desolation, pessimism?

[higgywiggy1]

These guys are amazing. The shins...Broken Bells....now this? Life changing really....

[nyctime004]

someone should make an mp3 of this, like it better the recorded version

[seanybooboo]

@nyctime004 dirpy it

[ryno106]

@nyctime004 yeah, use dirpy, it works great for getting live tracks off of youtube.

[LiquidBuffalo]

@nyctime004 yes someone do it NOW!!!

[ponchoko]

@nyctime004 me too. the one on dark night of the soul is all distorted and whatnot.

[OptionallySavage]

@ponchoko Well it was on a Sparklehorse album so... yeah. Distortion was kind of the name of the game.

[Rayncatt]

@nyctime004 I did:)



[saoxupansa]

@nyctime004 I have this version on a mp3, just PM me!

[ksmfighton]

@nyctime004 youtube to mp3 search on internet

[liszioinsoluria]

@nyctime004

[polykuromu]

close your eyes and you'd swear this was a polished studio version . . . so good!

[ssballs]

@polykuromu It IS!

[runtotheabyss]

@polykuromu except for the trumpet cracking, I agree, that is the only thing that went wrong.

[holasoyeldiego]

@runtotheabyss i'd say that the trumpet cracking is the best part of the song. it makes me want to cry :')

[SlickGuitar1993]

AWSOME.

[TheNiggaNando]

I tuned in after my finals today. It was amazing, it made my day even better.

[nyctime004]

amazing. what a gift for melody, beautifully done by James, DM and the band.
