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
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
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.
@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.
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 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.
@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.
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
@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.
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. :)
