It's good to see John Oates making a comeback.

[TommyWentling]

Anyone know what type of vocal mics these are? Are they the Shures?

[coltranenaima23]

I can't get it out of my head! Good job guys.

[alvc95]

[Adocompo]

[Teeelop]

[megabanananess]

@prinznevsky Did you insult Local Natives AND indie rock? Your going to hell...

[eatpanda118]

Calming music. +1 to Local Natives

[zalikathecreator]

i swear this is the best song ever. forever my favorite song.

[notimetovisitmaniacs]

Local natives and the dodos have just such great drumming and guitar and vocals. Such good bands. I could listen to them both forever. I actually plan on it.

[petitpoulet37]

Great song I like playing it on rainy days :)

[ArmadaHush]

Love this band! Fantastic hormonies.

[TreeBobbyJoe]

Is it just me or is it faster then normal? Still amazing though.

[vfdrummer1]

The black one is the epiphone Sheraton.

[bslz65]

what guitar is the main dude playing?



[lolstefi]

i am loving this feeling. Its the feeling of never had hearing this band before and suddenly BAM! you listen to a song of theirs and you are falling in love

[Vietnow14]

it's like angels playing...

[thebinlost]

[vfdrummer1]

Love the drummers groove! It's tasty!

[CmOnEy420]

man i sure do love finding new bands that sound really really good

[bongothecat1]

LSD? Placing it on their tongues. It makes your eyes real big. If you've ever tripped you know exactly what seeing it with your own eyes means.. Beautiful!

[Pastafield]

How do they make it look so fucking easy?

[foxygrandpaprod]

@Pastafield that is because they are geniuses. this song is the greatest song out currently, in my opinion. great musical talent spews from them.

[ThehoneyJani]

two people can't see it

[MCVanillaFace]

Indie sucks ass

[LydonLovesButter]

I love their harmonies. The "Oooo-ohhhh" sounds angelic.

[kathysoiio]

guys you are soooo damn talented!!it amazes me!

[hansbockler]

they sound incredible live. the sign of true musicians.

[carrotpopify1]

Magic...Magicccccc

[nathinafinnify]

I just don't understand why they're so awesome?!

[thetriangleperson]

Are these men aware that they are, in my eyes, (and many others') the most amazing band, ever?

[swankylover100]

such a good break down/build up from 2:40

[swankylover100]

sooooo good from 2:40 into the climax. ya

[sleepyd1231]

I wish i could of scene the miracle with my eyes

[555salt]

Freeken great drummer!! And oh boy those voices, just like on album

[MuppetsFan1]

Band of Horses anyone?

[nathinafinnify]

@MuppetsFan1 I like "our swords"

[MaveJDatthews]

I love how this song is like minimal but at the same time isn't. Make sense?

[blubberdaumen]

a masterpiece of music...

[malcolmwhat]

wowser



[IngoGarza]

I has a mustache just because he would be to handsome without it.

[katyktk8y]

Drummer is phat.

[farcrybenthead]

Multi tasking at its best.

[Face2daEast]

Oh to see it with my own eyes? I'm hearing it with my own ears! Amazing!

[ep1717]

HAHAHA! the guitarist  with the mustache looks exactly like my dad in Montreal in the 70's. I'm saying exactly like him

[thebassmath]

I don't know if any of you caught then just this feb. again on Morning Becomes Eclectic, but they performed this song with a quartet and oh my..............it was breathe-taking to say the least. Heck it out on kcrw.com under the archives, i HIGHLY recommend seeing their full set. wow.

[Idready808]

oh how i love great music

[AustinBoston44]

@aidentre theres no such thing as backing vocals when it comes to these cats.

[fiascorhymes]

John Oates is still doing it

[aldentre]

These guys' backing vocals are better than most bands' lead vocals.

[azimuth457]

@aldentre I don't know if they're backing vocals! Each singer sings lead in different songs!

[Krutchez89]

if your girlfriend dosent want to fuck to this...knock her out and rape her to it

[LuiDogg88]

@Krutchez89 yeah probably not

[coolrelax82]

@Krutchez89 haha, oh man. that caught me way off guard. i see what you mean. i agree great song.

[aceisgreat2008]

Itunes recommended this group to me, it's about time it gives me a good band. Love these guys now.

[mrwangchang]

@AlecPeytonMusic thanks alot im thinking of getting one if possible but im not sure

[poopsmash18]

*clap *clap *clap, what a song

[GamerConor]

How have they seriously not been on Jools Holland!!!

[SecondHandStudioZ]

It's cald a Goya Rangemaster they were made in the 60s in Italy

[imseanodell]

It's not a Gibson. I can't remember the brand. I'll post back if I can figure it out.

[TheBenDiMaio]

Killer job of recreating the sound live, a lot of new band's cant do that or get really off tone.

[spikesonthebrain]

such a good live song

[mrwangchang]

what guitar is the mustache guy playing?

[Capmcook]

@mrwangchang I believe it is a Gibson

[melamed36]

good, very good, thx guys...

[SkinsThe]

such a tight band

[extremelybusy123]

fuck me.... that drummer is robot good.

[SouthEastSouth]

Ryan Hahn is from my hometown there so good !

[RonBurgundyBitches]

2 words.... HOLY SHIT!

[drew1059]

Alright, whos the douche that dislikes this?

[emeuj]

what a wonderful track, very dreamy, outstanding...

[t00br00tal]

bong rip. play. repeat.

[Krutchez89]

@t00br00tal 18 times in a row....18 tokes in a row

[CliffordPaxton]

lmao !! good call

[S1lverwing]

@t00br00tal lol exactly what I did

[aetatissuae18]

holy ironic moustache

[theSupernature]

I adore this song--hard to believe it's live-- & so happy that John Oates made his comeback!

[KsideHb]

recently missed a chance to see them live.....



[FINGERSFORTEETH]

I always thought that the Freddie Mercury guy did the higher notes and the percussion/keyboardist did the lower tones but it's the other way around haha

[fireblast540]

pretty damn awesome.

kinda weird cuz the beards and video quality together make it look like an oldies band.

[Gingoes]

@fireblast540

I know! reminded me of KQED in the 90s.

[thiagokronig]

@Gingoes tell me about it, KQED? the fm radio?

[Gingoes]

@thiagokronig I'll fucking murder your family. don't think I don't know how to track down your information.

[pietpaardeboer]

One of the best songs of the decade.

[nergish]

@pietpaardeboer haha, how about we say "one of the best songs of the year" and see what unfolds in the coming 9+ years. :)

[pietpaardeboer]

@nergish Since the record had its release in 2009 in Holland, I think it's fair to call it one of the best songs of the decade. 

[alexbenesh]

@pietpaardeboer One of the best BANDS of the decade...

[06livefast]

geniuses. such a beautiful song, thank god the drummer doesn't trigger or over - compress his kit:)

[theDrumkilla]

@06livefast Uh...You must be talking about this version, because the album has a lot of compression on the drums.

[06livefast]

@theDrumkilla i oh reee heee heeely. Very intellectual indeeed sir.

[theDrumkilla]

@06livefast Why thank you.

[amrcuser]

this is even better than heaven! :D

[FINGERSFORTEETH]

"All the men of faith and men of science had their questions...

Could it ever be on earth as it is in heaven?"

[daftliving]

stickersthedragon, it's a goya rangemaster. they only made them for about 45 years. ceased production in the 90's. amazing sound right.

[rougebopper]

can we collectively come up with a name for this type of music? if you say indie i will grizzly bear, animal collective, dirty projectors, broken social scene, war on drugs, rapture, clap your hands and say yeah right in your morning benders, phoenix ass!

[pzzplz]

@rougebopper you can't pidgeonhole music like that. It would be limited and naive. Not everything fits into a genre.

[thislucidlife]

@rougebopper How about 'rock 'n' roll?

[rougebopper]

i dont really wanna wax and wane all philosophical about the naming of all things, so i will keep this short. if "rock and roll" is sufficient, and/or genre's just pidgeonhole music, why even call it music? well i will tell you: it is to communicate with people. just for the same reason you can argue that any particular band is prog rock or kraut rock, it doesnt really matter. you either know what im talking about or you don't. "rock and roll", "indie", "music"... all fall short.

[thislucidlife]

@rougebopper I'm PM'ing my response because it's too long (waxing and waning, lol)

[Ariesbetch]

piano and singing, wow. Drums and singing, OMG WOW. PIANO AND DRUMS AND SINGING. genius.

[deusvia]

@Ariesbetch  It's cool but not exactly genius. Playing piano with one hand and hitting a drum with the other is cool but not genius. That said their music is that of genius.

[Ariesbetch]

@deusvia mate if u can do three different rhythms all at the same time i consider you a musical genius.

[stickersthedragon]

does anyone know what kind of guitar the mustache-clad guitarist (his name escapes me) is using? for further clarification, the semi-hollow body guitar.

[sadpunk83]

@stickersthedragon it´s a goya guitar. most of them were made in italy and sweden

[daftliving]

@sadpunk83 - sucks. the only place you can find them is ebay.

[shapetwig]

Wow, awesomeness!

[HelloSeahorseTV]

Amazing in Coachella

[asahein]

Saw them at Coachella. They killed.

[FusionFlows]

favorite song off the album. Can't wait to see them when they come to san francisco

[bfrepublic]

So awe inspiring
