Grizzly Bear - TakeAwayConcert 10.3 ON A NECK ON A SPIT

[forrestnomoore]

It's good, but I really miss Chris B. banging drums!

[almostgoodfilms]

I didn't know you could record video with a potato... :P

[otacon451]

[ganamoha]

Does he take a deep breathe at the beginning and says "fuck it" before he plays? beautiful

[rob060]

@ganamoha he says 'ok'.

[wiggelzz11]

Daniel Rossen in the best guitarist/singer I've ever listened to

[wolftracksband]

i tried to find a tab for this and the guy didnt even include any of the bass parts of the chords... (the 5th or sixth strings) ... he just wrote them out as chord strums but rossen is obviously doing a lot of finger picking too.. but he did the get the tuning correct at least

[27Oldboy27]

unbearably beautiful

[matthewjwhitney]

you're an idiot slitheringinterstate

[slitheringinterstate]

yes matthew. i see over 49 others have agreed with you (lol).

[DOOBAGE69]

How's Daniel tuned for this? I know he likes to use some odd tunings

[a0rzel]

@DOOBAGE69 open G, I believe.

[wolftracksband]

@DOOBAGE69 Open G i think (D G D G B d)

[SenorHammyHams]

@wolftracksband Open G6 actually, D G D G B E.

[daveed66]

Amazing

[Magikawp]

E7 - G - Gdim - G

Genius. Truly.

[mistercath]

His note choices are fucking awesome. 

[adrianacode]

this is one of my favorite songs =)

[SmileForPink]

I'm suprised noboddy has mentioned Adult Swim yet!

...oops, I just did. :/ Sorry guys.

I LOVE THE SONG! It's so relaxing and his voice is just... ahhhh ((: So nice!

He's one of those true artists that sticks to who they are and I love it! <3333

[JackedUpOnTheJuice]

you guys suck real bad!

[TheChocorooms]

I find the camera type alittle uncomfortable

[dinzakos6]

johny greenwood's favourite band!

[jkhgsdhgdhgjklsdhfgj]

I cry every time.

"and the yards around your feet fall away wgile your asleep". the whole piece is great too. but this video is something special.

[avery1990]

He's too good at Guitar!!!

[Fidencito]

Yeah! \m/ incredible his voice... :D I'll buy the C.D

[czaghost]

ive seen this so many fuckin times, but its just so damn good....long live lablogotheque, viva la france

[funkymonk25]

I don't know if i'll ever get over how good this guy is.

[laylashawmoore]

simply amazing!

[TurboShorts]

really amazing. the hectic camera work and lighting really clashes perfectly with the emotional strain his guitar and voice is giving during this fantastic song. gives a really dark and pained feeling, it's wonderful.

[alecjahn]

Ooh, forgot about the Sigur Ros one.

OOH, and Alan Sparhawk!

[cluedo1]

I just love the Bon Iver & Fleet Foxes Take Away Shows :)

[alecjahn]

Really the best video I've seen in so long. Ties with the Ryland Bouchard pair when it comes to Blogoteque.

Just wow.

[amnesiaccactus]

ditto. brilliant video, awesome performance!

the setting fits the song really well. claustrophobic. I thought there was someone else in there with dan, but actually... just watch.

[GraceinWonderland7]

daniel rossen is too beautiful for words.

[jkhgsdhgdhgjklsdhfgj]

this is too painful to watch sometimes

[masataka986]

my favourite G.B. song!

I love his guitar style ;)

[woodlie]

his voice is so good to me

[NaaomiLeon]

this is just great.

[tarekadambenchouia]

Holy shit

[TalkShowHost09]

man this is just so good

[nated424]

I love you, Dan.

[isamexijew]

dan <3333333

[kotkomik]

i love the guitar

[dcorstorphan]

Move over Bob

[jolietak]

<3333

blows my mind/body/soul

[monsieurrompu]

Drop to D, most of the song works off of E and G.

[Tashk14]

i want to marry grizzly bear.every single one.

[elcakester]

Ummm....yeah, I suppose you are aware that Ed Droste is homosexual?

[Tashk14]

Yep, I plan on converting him:)

[dianeticstu]

need tabs

[kbyourself]

I love how his voice gets raspy, adds to the emotional aspect of it

[larsofthebourgeoise]

i really like all the camera work on la blogotheque

[mraymond77]

Daniel Rossen

[ch4p2]

newb shit

[kidaok00]

i love this song... its so powerful, you don't need a lot of lyrics to make something meaningful.. its very poetic. the idea of being alone then finding someone and being in the company of another and opening yourself up for disaster.

[remember132]

I believe that the simplicity of the lyrics allow you to connect it to yourself, and make it mean something personal. After all, what you don't understand you can make mean anything.

[Crueltool8]

i don't know why i haven't favorited this the 1st time i saw it

[SenaDaVinci]

makes me a little dizzy, but i still love it!

[raycon2]

Vincent Moon is pioneer.

[apotheosize]

this is so incredible.

[barehills]

I don't believe Dan Rossen to be the greatest songwriter in America but his genius is obvious, as well as the rest of Grizzly Bear...and as for this song, it's one of favorites. I don't understand why I find their music sexy, but I do.

[hongkongfui923]

it's in open G

[manuelcanepa]

yes sir!

[julianvu]

It's in drop D, I can tell you that much.

[Heratio123]

he plays a taylor guitar :s

[knoOxxxville]

amazing!

[kbyourself]

Daniel Rossen is a legend.

[slitheringinterstate]

Daniel Rossen's melodies, chord selections, and the general level of maturity to his musical craftsmanship, is such that he could be 10 times as famous as he is if he was willing to dilute his idiosyncracies and esotericism into something more palleteable for the mass market.

As it is, he's destined to be what he is now; the best songwriter in America, if not the world, that nobody's ever heard of.

[kbyourself]

agreed. whether he knows it or not, he easily takes that title. i think that he should pursue in whatever makes him happy, and that might be being famous among the people who truly appreciate his work rather than the people who are just in it because they're "popular" at that particular time. either way, he is a always a musical wizard in my book.

[shnugen27]

There are a wide number of people that you can apply this to: Justin Vernon, Shara Worden, Spencer Krug, Bradford Cox, Julie Doiron, Jose Gonzalez, etc.

Your general point is well taken, but it can be applied to a number of different artists.

[wargrave232]

Try listening to Dungen. He also has great melodies, cool chord progressions and complex songs.

He could be one of the best songwriters along with Daniel Rossen.

[bbknux1]

@slitheringinterstate Re: But would you want him to dilute his sound and purposefully become more mainstream? I surely do not like that idea.

[mexfrank123]

@bbknux1 i was just thinking the same thing!

[jmangana]

@slitheringinterstate

Throw some more SAT words in there to strengthen your incorrect argument. Jeff Tweedy is the best songwriter in America.

[martyr4love]

@slitheringinterstate

love grizzly bear, but sam beam is the best song writer in the world followed by ryan adams.

[colleenclara]

@slitheringinterstate agreed but it's not about the fame, the music's beautiful the way it is and how he makes it.

[midorka]

@slitheringinterstate He's definitely not the best, but he's very talented for sure. I love the guitar in this with the lyrics and the vocal melody. It's a beautiful song.

[catsgame]

@slitheringinterstate

worst sentence.

[musickween312]

@slitheringinterstate I couldn't imagine anything worse than a famous Daniel Rossen.

[SoFarAreWe]

@musickween312 why would you not want more people to recognize his talent? the point is to spread good music, spread! spread ! Spread!

[wtfhah]

@slitheringinterstate heh

[boraxthedecapitator]

Goddammit, this guy is awesome at guitar. I still can't believe how he plays "Shift." That song sounds like two separate guitar parts. Great stuff.

[WeakTiesMusic]

It is two guitars

[mwright165]

just the one mate

[NoRestForTheObsessed]

Does anyone know how to play this?

[R1OBaggio]

Tab!? Someone!??

[poopFACEperson]

i can play it pretty well.

but im lazy.

maybe i'll just post a video.

but like i said. im lazy.

[thetofus]

cmon guys, it's not that hard. just dont be afraid to tune your guitar differently and you'll see how easy it is

[Carlyism]

Brilliant vocals.

[idonthaveabonerkinda]

does anyone know how to play this?

[Johnnn72]

this is the most frustrating video to try to learn to play the guitar part from

[julianvu]

This must be a heavy metal song since he's playing in drop-D.

[dastave]

haha

[dastave]

hahaha

[Dorkus1218]

Boy if i could play this song, i would be ready to die

[EllEssTwo]

i wholeheartedly agree

[cocoakid]

i wonder if theres a way i can get the mp3 for this , anyone?

[lejospopo]

still fantastic

[themonst3r]

Fucking awesome!!! when are you guys coming to the Netherlands?

[Captain0Nuke]

lol

[misterrbrown]

I like this version even more than the album version

[wagners007]

Agreed. This song is reminescent of Beatles Rubber Soul to me...not sure who wrote this one

[dearperson]

you guys are fucking awesome

[stratcatme]

great song I love it

[DRSTUNNA]

this is awesome

[jefTastic]

This video's so cool...! I love it, song's not bad either! When are you coming back to England?

[Gemma2929]

amazing new band!

[ChazWood2006]

cool song, i did a video like this for an old song i have, but there was more of us in the video. :) W.L.A

[Mudhooks]

Love this!
