Sometime Around Midnight Live on Jimmy Kimmel Live

[MrCROFTON7]

Man...this song is good

[snipsnapclapable]

This gives me the chills. This is pure genius.

[codycatsss]

i wount lie..the girl ruind it for me..personaly i like just the guy's voice..just sayin

[whalestail1955]

@codycatsss Wow, Anna's the most talented musician in the Band That's her brother playing violin for Calder q. U R prolly a Britney fan, eh?

[EternalBlissBaby]

What a beautiful performance.

[LeniInChains]

Gotta love the Asian guitarist :D

[LeniInChains]

This song means so much to me.

[Godeiche]

I love EVERYTHING about thing song.

In this performance, though, when he goes all falcetto on "walk" ("Then you walk / under the streetlights"), I feel like it takes away from the intensity of that particular line. It should hit you like a truckload of bricks, but it kinda falls flat. Why falcetto? Just scream, dammit! It hurts; scream it!

[turkqb4]

@Godeiche i totally feel ya. my guess is he just didn't have the voice for it after singing this song so many times. dont' wanna bust your vocal chords on a tour.

[soundhitman]

i saw them live at summerfets a couple days ago. fuckin awsome!

[Justinascent]

I wish I wrote this song. Powerful powerful and every personal song. Damn I love it!!!

[delyssteph]

CUTS TO THE BONE!!!!!everytime

JESUS H CHRIST

[delyssteph]

CUTS TO THE BONE!!!!!everytime

[angelgu323]

lead singer always reminds me of ed helms

[87tdon]

@angelgu323 It happens to all of us

[angelgu323]

@87tdon ......true that

[Justinascent]

@angelgu323 He reminds me of Agent Smith from the Matrix!!

[angelgu323]

@Justinascent starting to think he looks like Chuck From Chuck

[newton474]

Love how the strings are all jamming with the electric instruments. Great song, great performance.

[rko440]

damn... i love an upright BASS....

[Dave29671]

what a great performance.

[himbeeerbrause]

he looks like johnny cash and robbie williams - can i really say that? can i mix that? sorry people. just a thought.

beautiful song

[Dave29671]

And I love the lady on the violen.

[Natenjrc]

The thing i like most about this band is ever performance seems very unique its always preformed different makes you want to listen to all of them makes them much better live :)

[jiffypopgirl]

@Natenjrc Love that about this group. The letterman performance was totally different but no less spectacular!

[itscorcor]

@jiffypopgirl yeah i actully liked them at lettermans better

[jiffypopgirl]

@Natenjrc totally agree, saw the performance on Letterman, completely different but equally spectacular!

[Dave29671]

You know this is not just a (great) song. This is an illustration of life. The proof that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Here's a guy who put everything into a relationship only to find he was just a fling.. She considers their relationship as something disposable, he however wanted her more than life itself.

[connecticutskier1]

The intensity just grows

[FBTWANDETFXFREAK]

i think the gurl singin kinda killed the song a little i rather hear the lead singer singin

[insanefreakOMG]

kate reynolds

[guyphawkes]

Ye know I love the one they did on letterman, but this one, I just heard, ITs great, I mean really that incredible, I like Anna singing on it. She is so cute, love how she just feels out of place in the whole ensemble, but still pulls it all together. She is so funny about it all, great to hear her singing. This is just an incredible song, the rest of the album is great too, but this song stands out.

[kulinichnick]

they do alot better on letterman. genius song

[wackedoutgurl]

@kulinichnick Completely agree. I'm having a hard time liking this version.... they changed it way too much.

[tomasreece]

Every new performance of this song is even better than the last one

[clifgreen3]

i like how they sound the same live as they do from their album. not like kesha, lady gaga, justin beiber, t pain, this list can keep going lol. keep it up ATE!

[JacobLevensMusic]

@clifgreen3

On the contrary, I like how they DON'T sound the same as they do on the album. They change it up, it seems- even from different performances (I.e. He plays an acoustic in this one, and they all sing.. It's beautiful.

[wannabee53]

This song is beautiful no matter how they perform it. This is one of my all time favorite songs.

[roberto347]

same here!!! awsome song amazing group!

[sum1youshouldno]

is it just me or does the lead singer look a lot like the guy from chuck?

[hockeykingaz]

@sum1youshouldno thats exactly what i was thinking!

[hockeykingaz]

@sum1youshouldno thats what i was thining!

[Oiukar]

I love them! all time favorite band:)

[supermaniax]

this version has better music with the violins, but the singing is better on the original video.

[mercywarren1728]

I like it better without Anna also. Check out the "Official Video".

[Hawkstar83]

Love them!

[Sube6491]

This is amazing. When Anna sings harmony with Mikel, it absolutely blows my mind. So beautiful, it brings a tear to my eye.

[RedSox911]

Where can I find this version of the song for my itunes?

[jindars]

I think it sounds even better..what's better than masterpiece?

[MemphisMyLove]

Oh man the girl kills it! I like the "original" song better

[lessthanchris1]

There was a better version without the girl singing. On G-rock radio, but they went out of business. Amazing song though. Had this happen to me, this song brings tears to my eyes.

[AllisonWonderlands]

AMAZING...honestly this is just as good live. BRAVO!! WISH I was there...

[BuffOne1124]

I am so loving this song! I've heard it before but I've never really listened to it :D it's so good!

[AnneSelby]

I was there!! It was awesome!! to be there Live! and sooo Close!! Love them!!

[alexs1422]

I lost my girl today, and just discovered this song. I feel like god is soundtracking my life. This brings me to tears

[ingraham777]

Can't believe I'm just discovering these guys now. Oh well, better late than never. Amazing song.

[sith4923]

this is the first song i've heard from them. i gotta say, after listening to '60s and '70s bands, its nice to hear music from THIS decade that i like.

[celi1020]

I know you are watching, and you love it.

For some strange reason, I look too.

And when you leave, you always make sure I see you.

It doesn't matter how many time or how many people you go with, You always have to comeback, because its a need, we feed from one another. I hate how much I want to forget about you and I cant either. I can totally relate. Mmmmm GOOD!

[patsoby]

brings way to many memories it hurts almost gives me a heart attack.

[sierra1gomez]

It was done beautifuly I love all the violins

[oliverpigott]

This is the most pretentious twaddle I've ever heard. We've been watching this in absolute stitches.

He reminds me of the guy from Dead Man On Campus who pretends to be suicidal but sings showtunes in the school toilet when nobody is looking.

[mreit28]

thats right, you tell him...that'll teach him to pursue a dream of being a musician...you got him, nice job

[RockinRyan13]

i like the performance better then the letterman one but both are awesome!

[dubspins]

this just seriously brought tears to my eyes... i can relate to exactly what he was singing about. man, chicks can be so heartless

[LucTonnerre2000]

Is it just me or do they seem to try really hard to be THE ARCADE FIRE?

[celtslammer911]

is it just me or does everyone think comments like these are getting REALLY old?

[LucTonnerre2000]

Come on, it's soooo ovious...

[billiumbean]

If they were trying to emulate The Arcade Fire, they'd probably try really hard to seem not to.

Who knows, maybe they try really hard to be like the Wu Tang Clan and do a very good job hiding it.

[celtslammer911]

oh you're right, b/c obviously the arcade fire is the only band to ever have violins in their songs.... >.>

[LucTonnerre2000]

What use talking to you guys if you simply don't WANT to see it? It's not just the violins. It's everything about this band. The way he sings, the way they dress, the way they act on stage, the songwriting... I didn't say they're not good. they're just nothing new at all and if ARCADE FIRE were unknown, I would appreciate this piece of music here.

[jakexfresh]

well thank god were not faggots. cuz i dont give two shits abotu the way a band dresses. the arcade fire sucks dick

[johnyx1995]

i think its just you

[elmuchacho1]

One word.

Whoa.

[Songsmirth]

It's too tense for me but I can't help but think that you'd all do wonderfully with some gentler songs. I like the stage and your looks. I know that I'm not a person to judge but I do know what I like. I wish you would consider coming to Montana. You'd be liked here and I'd like to hear you in person. I think some bands you need to hear in person.

[DecemberControversy]

3:13 lol wtf? He made a funny lol

[mophead272]

come to canada

[mystery379]

I lOVE THEM!!! i just started getting into them a while ago and love all of their songs, got their cd and its AWESOME!!

[jpanson]

One of the most incredibly beautiful songs I have EVER heard!!!! I love it and can't wait to hear it live at some point!!!!

[hafpak]

I've just started getting into this band.

They are awesome!

And his acoustic is fucking huge.

[mik9765]

Fvking amazing performance!!!! This band NEEDS to be huge! That's how you rock with out sounding like the generic corporate BS the labels put out these days.

[ijoostin]

These guys friggin rock live.

I like how you can actually see emotion in them when they're playing...

Not just like, emotive actions...but facial expressions and stuff

[tbs311]

i know right

the songs so powerful esp. live.

[UncalledBank]

Is the Leno video up? I thought that was a great preformance. (Partly because I was in the audience that night.) Also, Congrats on the Summerfest spot. I'll be there too.

[airbornetoxiceffect3]

yeah this was the first song I ever heard from the ATE. they have been rocking my ipod ever since. they sound so perfect in all of there live videos.

[StrongHeartSoldier]

wait a minute

thery started playing again at the end!!!!

oh man i cant get enough of this song thats why im whining about it! hah

[boredohsobored]

they didnt start playing again at the end.. at the end of each performance on jimmy kimmel live, they replay a portion of the song to tell the viewers they can watch the performance again on their website.

[ChiickenPattie]

[Orion9191]

Def best band of 2008

[skeeskee1]

they always do the short version on tv...

[macfreak47]

was the electric guitar not working?

[SaviorThree]

The sounds at 1:13 are the electric guitar, then at 1:18 the guitar begins the main riff. So...no, it seems to be functioning.

[Aphelion64]
