DJ Shadow - Midnight In A Perfect World

[antuanecita97]

its midnight!

[physics96]

how dare they sully this video with drake!



[aftertheearthquake]

im trying to enjoy this masterpiece, but i keep on being distracted by that banner for that poor excuse for music that is drake

[reynotle]

Thumbs Up for Dj Hero 2

[bvcamguy]

Vahn sent me.

[Bobzination11]

I guess I know what I'm listening to the next time I'm high.

[Glace1221]

Perfect song for sexy time. This is what I wanna play whenever I have sexy time.

[dcarlos187]

Trippy as fuck

[Mr1VISIONMUSIC]

one of the best songs ever..so deep...this song got me through many lonesome walks through dark streets with only me and my thoughts

[sideeffekt01]

I found this song a few years back and since then I have not been on the subway or traveled anywhere really without blasting this song. The more I listen to it the more meaning it has. A true masterpiece... Thank you Dj Shadow.

[timler12]

33 people don't live in perfect world

[DarkJokerOfAmuro]

songs like this this make me think of New York in so many ways...I love it

[SupraBow]

Wow, the cover for Endtroducing is in the video too...

[beahuty]

there is not in the world another masterpiece of sampled music as Endtroduciing is. It is unmatched and considering that trip hop as a genre is quite dead, probably will ever be. Imho.

[lostinrolls2]

I just had sex with the replay button

[TheRealest915]

such an amazing talent

[MGPSYCO]

what turntable is that at the end of the video?

[soronefabrik1]

the videos version is slghtly different from the nonvideo one or is it just me

[PolloKevin]

better than most of these overrated shitty djs nowadays

[CrAzYpOtHeAd420time]

@PolloKevin

Such as?

[Sagefrakrobatik]

YOu guys might already know this but just found out from listening to random rap videos that the sample in the begging is from Organized Konfusion Releasing Hypnotical gases

[gamehau5]

I'm pretty sure I'd be just another dicky 16 year old if it weren't for shadow.

[CrAzYpOtHeAd420time]

@gamehau5

Dj shadows music stopped u from bein a dick?

[gamehau5]

@CrAzYpOtHeAd420time Kinda, I sorta changed for better once I started listening to Shadow, it's really weird. But his music kinda hit me in this way that made me want to change who I was. Which was good, considering it was really what I needed.

[MyNAMEwasERASED]

Dj Shadow is a motherfucking wizard.

[CrAzYpOtHeAd420time]

@MyNAMEwasERASED

Everyone loves Magical Trevor! It's the tricks that he does are ever so clever

Look at him now, disappearin' a cow

Where is the cow? hidden right now.

Back, back, back from his magical journey

What did he see in the parallel dimension?

He saw beans, lots of beans, lots of beans, lots of beans.

Oh, beans lots of beans lots of beans lots of beans.

Yeah Yeah.. Yeah!

[dk7864]

just crazy

[JayMFDilla]

This album is an absolute masterpiece.... Greatest of all time perhaps.

[tomharding]

Well hello there little buddy. Come on in! 

[FunkSoulBrother7]

shit quality, reupload

[DarkJokerOfAmuro]

@FunkSoulBrother7

the quality is fine ur computer just sux

[nopityforcoward]

you should listen to pekka pohjola, he was a genious.

[8830chucho]

♥♫♪(((d-__-b)))♪♫♥



[rally240]

about 1-2 in the morning, in my car. We sat, how beautiful it was. This song melted into me as i OD'd in the driver seat. We saw the ocean.

[KLX1410]

are those actual footage from sampled songs ?

[Doraxan]

I challenge everyone here to time this just right so at the end he says midnight in 2012. (Thumb up if you accept the challenge)

[msu7208]

@Doraxan I fired this at about 0:00 new year's eve 2001-2002 in perfect sync with the fireworks exploding around in the neighborhood .. the effect was amazing. 'Camel bobsled race' mix w/ long intro sermon ... " ... as we're now approaching miidniiiight !" . Booooom! :) it's in the beginning 'tho

[MarcMnml]

@msu7208 liked your idea. i'll do this on dec this year, when the world ends

[Lenny1305]

fucking advert

[alexknibb]

I've been listening to this song ever since Endtroducing came out, but have never seen the video until now. Let's face it, it was never going to be anything other than disappointing. This needed a Chris Cunningham or Michel Gondry helmed Bjork-style surreally beautiful video if you ask me.

[MegaMindfreak666]

This touches me at the bottom of my soul. Can't tell why, but it brings me in a complete different world, and when it is over, I have to start it again. Dunno how I could get through the week without it. Awesome, what music can do...

[sbaketown]

best album, my older brother bought it randomly in the 90s because he knew the album cover meant it'd be good - it has stayed in me forever since hearing it back then

[wardubachs1993]

@sbaketown what is the name of the album?

[sbaketown]

@wardubachs1993 its entroducing by dj shadow - give it a listen!

[bonnie54190]

@wardubachs1993 Listen this album,It's a fuck'n masterpiece...

[BeEvil13]

if my sould had a sound it would be this song...this is my go to song and has been for 10 years when im trying to get "deep"

[djdnile]

Typo

[djdnile]

I heard this track before yrs before DJ HERO even existed, i heard on the documentary Scratch

[Migas128]

"life is seeking of love" ;)

[ishisbananas]

first time I played dj hero and mixed this song I fell in love!!

[MrSalline]

Pekka Pohjola. Greetings from Finlandia!

[CaptianBlindfold]

puff puff puff puff

[Bigcarastaka]

3:40 Tom Shimura??? the Lyrics Born guy

[DanArmaniBeats]

This guy is one of the few dj/producers out there that have maintained the quality of music and held it up for so long. This is timeless.

[DKTWIMI]

its how the advertisement loads up and play fast but takes the video forever to load

[karmineka]

And Pekka Pohjola whom this the sample was made....

[datapenguin]

I was raised on some Dj Shadow.

[MrAnelker]

such an awesome vid



[phobiouz]

[FireMageryGuru]

[MrXidea]

[Ross5840]

[Kinngvon]

[opiumkidx]

morrissey is a reaal band

[foeaelwood]

Was that Morrissey at 3:40 to 3:51?

[Vaad1091]

will always remember the first time i heard this.

[MCDEVVOMAN]

i think dj shadow just...dj's O.o he takes lots of tracks and samples them but hes not actually producing anything himself :s

[TheFunkyfeelings]

@MCDEVVOMAN A R T

[MCDEVVOMAN]

@TheFunkyfeelings wha?

[explorer1ful1]

uses a few samples from Meredith Monk's 'Dolmen Music'...

[kannabiz420]

Aghh damn it! The ads play on my phone too now.

[TheChecked]

I absolutely love this! The song sounds a little bit like weird but the melody is so touching

[TheEnchantingWizard1]

This album is the mandatory soundtrack to all late night drives.

[MaaaarrJ]

@TheEnchantingWizard1 couldn't have said it better myself mate.

[YerocSenojo]

Turned this on when the clock struck twelve (in Florida) to top on a day that went from terrible to great :)

[danieltongaww]

[princessawsome911]

[VicktorDog]

this is the best thing I've ever heard.

[superstar7340]

I say this to anybody that has anything to say about dj shadow not being all that : ' Talk to the hand because the ears aren't listening'!

[KingVirmire]

DJ Shadow

DJ Krush

Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician

Nomak

Nujabes

TOKiMONSTA

Force Of Nature

♥♫♪(((d-__-b)))♪♫♥

[xmarks97]

@KingVirmire dont forget dj okawari

[KingVirmire]

@xmarks97 you're right

[ptrakorourke1]

@KingVirmire this is what will be playing at my casket party!

[greedisgoodz]

@KingVirmire you forgot Cut Chemist.

[SuperKarol97]

@KingVirmire and daft punk :D

[killerseven007]

@SuperKarol97 Daft punk is a Electronic artist and producer not a Dj neither is Deadmau5 so don't bring them up too.

[SuperKarol97]

@killerseven007 okok sorry I WAS PURELY SURE that someone will say something like that anyways i just wated to say that they are good guys...

[killerseven007]

@SuperKarol97 They are.....

[vangelistellez]

Yo podría escuchar esta canción mientras espero la muerte en la medianoche de un mundo perfecto.



[Migas128]

@KingVirmire OH MAN! that list is perfect ;)

[filibuster11]

rding a bike down empty country lanes with dj shadow on is just incredible!

[barfbag256]

Anyone know why this albuim is parental advisory

[Zskillit]

@barfbag256

It has a parental advisory because children should not be able to listen to this CD until they are able to appreciate it fully.

[treepixels]

such an awesome video, fits the song perfectly

[speaker7117]

My first love and I once had passionate relations to this song, and listing to it now is almost haunting to me in her absence. The entire song feels to me like its teetering on the edge of climax, and thats how we both felt the entire session on that night so long ago. I guess this song has become special to me, in the way that a special memory can be to someone who only wants to remember the good times. Its like drowning in the pleasantries of a past life, terrifying, but beautiful all the same

[ninjaXmw2freak122]

dj hero 2!

[arno59bzh]

God is a Dj

[MCDEVVOMAN]

@arno59bzh god is a dj - nameless bert remix ;)

[newblife]

in fact, im not watching this at all. im was lying next to my desk. just listening with my eyes closed

[Dacari3]

you're so cool!! i follow you from peru a lot of time ago... =D

[xXshadowXx48]

true music

[daciuss]

2011, `still traveling to the future on this song, an epic walk between the stars.

[ontheunderground]

dj shadow is a amazing artist.. musically NO ONE comes close!! BUT why the fuck does everyone clog the comment feed up with bullshit storys about how they sat in a ally way watching the world go by at exactlly 11:45PM listening to this story when his taxi drivers dead mate was talking about news forecasts.. Just listen to the music you sad sacks x

[TheCasey73]

@ontheunderground they're just describing moments and feelings. do you have those?

[Digitalsp33r]

@ontheunderground Come on, the music's good, no need to be a dick about it...

[themsrblebstrd4rm86]

Insight, foresight, MORE SIGHT. the clock on my wall always reads a quarter passed midnight. That means it's 4:20 somewhere, so blaze one for the millennium.

[CGFAmG]

I like the part when you hear music.

[xxlfatcatlxx]

I cried three times.

I cried the first time at 0:00

Then at 2:25

I dont wanna talk about the third time. 

[YoussefFishere]

Like if your listening to this in 20313.

[locotesd]

28 people don't know real music!

[RaabBlog]

"i determine my self worth over how many thumbs up i get please like this comment or ill kill myself." pricks... lol

[myspiritsense]

...simply sweet...

[clutchmc22]

I had a cassette tape of this album in 97' my ears weren't mature enough for then....now I put this cd on and float away for awhile

[shelaleh]

Like this is you're listening in 1977!:)))))) stfu we know what year we're in

[rensbitterhalf]

I pity anybody who really thinks that removing a post or reporting something you do not agree with as spam , grow up , form your own reasoning or opinions , if your over 33 years old today grow up and shut your negative hate hole . if you are younger , waste some time at art college or philosophy , failing that listen to Henry Rollins and paint your fears . I DEAR YOU TO REPORT ME YOU RACIST SCUM , cowards hide behind their computers

[Conkys21]

oh my god. <3

[Stringwireify]

@Conkys21 you're listening him right now :)

[Larzuk100]

need adress this shop

[mosdefgza2009]

i remember walking home from my girlfriends one night in the snow with my headphones on, this song came on and i remember just thinking..perfect. now when i hear it i think of wintery nights

[fibo908]

Like if your listening to this while watching your PC screen.

[rpierce3411]

it's sad to see an Ace Hood advertisement before a hip hop masterpiece like this...really shows how much music has changed :/

[WindmillStalker]

@rpierce3411

Dont start :(

[Peanuts747]

insight..foresight...moresight­...the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight..

[rensbitterhalf]

I want to listen to the full rap poem version and I can't be arsed to go into my bedroom to dig out that 12 " . on one hand it is great for him that he made it ( djing for 1500+ scared the crap out of me ) he must be very brave . on the other hand a lost well kept secret by some of us . but I have seen too many real indie bands go under because they are so precious

[FatBeatsHipHop]

@rensbitterhalf if you have the 12 inch you better get to uploading it

[xTheKill3rsRulex]

DJ SHADOW IS EPIC!!!

[Daft7Punk]

It really is the most perfect melancholic song.

[devtty7]

Could anyone tell what are the wonderful chords played on the organ/keyboard? Please.

[devtty7]

@devtty7 Thanks to Ben Wilkinson's tab at 911Tabs it seems the progression is Gmin, Fsus2, D#maj7, Fmaj7 ~= Dsus9.

[FireWaypoint]

@devtty7 Beat is sampled from Pekka Pohjola's Sekoilu seestyy (The Madness Subsides)

Theres also a list from sampled tracks for every song. Check Endtroducing..... on Wikipedia.

[frehdeee]

Like if you were listening to thiss well before 2011

[ItsKingPeacock]

@frehdeee Wow man, you're so cool to have listened to this at an earlier period in time.  You're a chrononaut.

[ChuckHitler]

does 2010 count?

[SteezySchleezy]

i like how the non vevo version has more views

[spytgale]

when i was younger, i didn't understand this song because i didn't know how to appreciate good music. now that i'm older, i understand what great music is, and this is it right here

[peejammer]

pitchfork this saturday chi-town!!!! dj shadow!!!!

[SatoiK]

I'M SEEING HIM THIS SUNDAY!

[TheGrassyass]

Seeing him at Picnic!!! Cant facking waiiittt! :D

[Mohameddelt]

DJ Shadow makes it seem as if these random obscure tracks were made for each other

[hiphopandanime]

yo check out "Daniel Jordan- midnigh" he raps over this beat. thats how i found out about this song, its madd sick.

[OrIGInalPyRO]

A record with this sound will never be heard again. Even he himself can't re-create it.

[leeroynaggins]

A song from when things were still cool...

[TheRobobuddah]

is this the greatesr song in the universe to smoke a bone to

[louiscarr899]

this song just reminds me of walking home at 2am in the morning...everywhere was quiet...the street lights guided my way home, not a single soul was on the streets, no cars and the sky was as clear as it could be... this song came on and i decided to just sit on a bench in these empty streets and watch the night go by... it was just total bliss

[iliasthecoolguy]

@louiscarr899 Thats exactly what it reminds me of! Nighttime street lights while theres drizzling rain

[StayFrosty454]

@louiscarr899 Yeah, I get that same impression too!

[louiscarr899]

@StayFrosty454 i wish his songs were more recognised...

either thats good or bad haha

but yeah. this has to be up there on "songs you must hear before you die"

[StayFrosty454]

@louiscarr899 I'm kind of glad he is not that well known. If he was, many people would probably abuse his songs. But I do believe he deserves a lot more recognition at the same time haha

But I guess it gives it a more "special" feeling to it :P

[Paperninja18]

@louiscarr899 that's how everyday in the city of St.Paul, MN is for me.

And it makes me love the way i live

[louiscarr899]

@Paperninja18 it truely is amazing how perfectly music fits in moments like these

if you just take a step back and watch the world go by you can really understand how important your life is... because your gonna miss this beauty if you don't exist! :)

[Parvenu90]

@louiscarr899 Cool story bro, I thumbs-uped.

[louiscarr899]

@Parvenu90 thanks man!

it's great to see how everyone's thumbing it up :)

i guess it's one of those things that people find easy to imagine what goes with this song

thanks again :)

[ShaiqNBaiq5464]

@louiscarr899 Funny you say that. I used to be a Mall Security Guard. I worked the grave shift one night and patroled the empty parking lot in the Jeep listening to this. A whole mall....empty

[Trkrydr]

@louiscarr899 excellent visual... i agree
