  • holy shit! i finally understand!!!

  • Even though now I know what the high voice in Sleepyhead, since I don't speak Gaelic, I will forever be singing giberish at the beginning. :)

  • Mary O will you sing me to sleep every night?

  • YESSSSSSSSS - I searched a while for this one.... I hated seeing YAHOO ANSWERS with a copy and paste of the same thing where they think the song starts with and everything is going to the beat.... (YA WE CAN HEAR THAT) we wanted to know that beautiful HIGH pitched voice's lyrics

  • please unicorn eat taco with me

  • sleepy head ftww

  • This is so beautiful....

  • Gaelic seems so difficult to speak! But what a beautiful language it is...

  • little big planet 2 ftw

  • what an excellent remix of passion pit!

  • @cmccoyx9 I hope ur kidding haha

  • i thought this was gonna be gay but i thought it was actually kinda cool. i wanna learn gaelic now lol... it sounds like its like a gaelic little kid song or something. beautiful though

  • beautiful

  • This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

    And its also in one of my favorite songs of all time. Score!

  • cross off one of life's greatest mysteries.. the background vocals in sleepyhead

  • omg now i know what they're singing in sleepyhead holy crap i realy thought it had something to do with honey bees or asain porn (what alot of people think it is). It's realy cool to know what they sing.

  • i won't lie, i was also brought here by passion pit's sleepyhead but, i must say that i am far more appreciative and taken by this beautiful traditional Gaelic rowing song. Also, Mary O'Hara has a gorgeous and resonating voice. For those of you who don't understand/speak any of the language Oro Mo Bhaidin means something close to My Little Boat.

  • @xxdarkangel15xx For those of you who don't read the description, read it.

  • beautiful song

  • Stop talking about sleepyhead. This is Mary O'hara, not Passion Pit. Talk about how you feel about this song.

  • @chickenzsss I feel that this song is very nice, and that the melody and lyrics are beautiful. I also feel that you should be quiet, because there's an veeeeeeery subtle connection to "Sleepyhead" that makes it appropriate to talk about here.

  • @chickenzsss no one cares how you feel

  • @itsHeadsUpDisplay In other words, welcome to the internet :p

  • ive seen mice squeak closer to the lyrics from sleepyhead

  • kanye west has been making songs with sped up samples for years, and people call him unoriginal. some hipster with a neckbeard does the same thing? OMG HE'S A GENIUS

  • @arewaykay If Kanya had actually copied something with cultural value, I might be a little more accepting, because that would be stepping out of a shell. But he just copies stuff that was already popular... Not the same as passion pit, but same ballpark I guess.

  • @arewaykay If you think Sleepyhead would sound the same if this was just 'sped up'... I think you'd be very suprised.

  • @ddageesta if you learned to read and found out what was actually written there i think you'd be very surprised.

  • @arewaykay Well sorry... I might have misunderstood you. I thought you said... Kanye West sped up some samples and was called unoriginal and then Passion Pit (some hipster with a neckbeard) does the same thing, but people like him... Was this not what you meant? From that... I then said... you'd have to do a lot more than just up the tempo of this song to get Sleepyhead.

  • Sleepyhead really made me appreciate this song.

  • And all this time I thought Sleepyhead was singing about bees being in corn and eating tacos with meat.... I'm glad I found this.

  • This is the most beautiful gibberish ever made.

  • @ThatFranchiseBoy This is Irish Gaelic... it's a language, not gibberish.

  • @Philomathie I'm aware. I'm making light of the fact that most people who watch this don't understand a lick of gaelic. Thus, it is gibberish to most people.

  • haha peas in the corn ;P Passion Pit!! :D

  • 2:15 inis mor haha

  • From Lbp 2

    to Passion pit

    to this

    :)

  • "...and you said, it was like fire around the brim...burning solid, burning thin, the burning rim."

  • why did passion pit put this in again?

  • @footballfullback This is the background remix that is played at a faster speed.

  • @footballfullback 0:23 till like 0:32 and other parts

  • Wow, this is beautiful, I didn't know Passion Pit sampled this.

  • Lol, this is crazy.

    Why did Passion Pit Remix this, well... Sorta...

    LOL

    SLEEEEPPPYHEAAADD!

  • I thought the voice in sleepyhead was Japanese.....you learn something new everyday i guess

  • I thought the background of "sleepyhead" was Enya in reverse. I guess in a way I was close (not). Pretty song all by itself.

  • I will hang sails I Will raise the sails is I'll be back And I Will West Oh My, Oh my little boat Little Boat Till Night Fhéil 'And until St. John's. John's afternoon I will not come back and I Will Return aunt Oh my little boat Little Boat Oh my Oh my Oh my Little churaichín from Curragh Oh my Oh my little boat Little Boat

  • crazy!! i never ever though i would figure out what they were saying

  • Wow...

    How do people find music like this & turn it into Sleepyhead??

    Weird... but genius!

    haha

    thanks for the post =)

  • @mariamqwert Lol i know right the same thing with Call on me by eric prydes, he sampled the background music

  • @mariamqwert either a lot of drugs or creativity or both prolly lol

  • @mariamqwert It's not genius, hip hop producers have been doing it for decades before Passion Pit came along. The technique of speeding up the sample, cutting and segmenting it and supplementing it with synths is straight out of the Pete Rock and Large Professor playbook.

    I'm not hating on Passion Pit, just pointing out that the technique is EXACTLY the same as used in hip hop. If you watch live videos of PP doing this song, they even use an MPC, which is a standard hip hop producer tool.

  • Sleepy heaeeeeeaeeaeaeaaaaad

  • Thanks for posting this ;)
