of Montreal - Requiem for O.M.M.2 [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

[SWiiftYz]

the modern day beatles. Of Montreal

[phriendlybear]

1:38-END. that elephant's quest to find that sword led to the death of many animals. SUCH SADNESS ISN'T FIT FOR SUCH A SONG.

[fearthecoconut]

the epitome of amazing

[TheSnagProfit]

this band is a trip

[YeahAsh]

I heard of Montreal for the fist time today. And my mind was BLOWN.

[unknownpleasures4]

@YeahAsh i think it probably was the best day of my life the first time i heard of montreal

[YeahAsh]

@unknownpleasures4 It was definitely a life-changing experience. I don't think I'll ever be the same again. In a good way. They're pretty wicked. :)

[CheerTheGallows]

OMG...is there a bass cover to this song?

[bittersweettragedy1]

Usually I would steal songs off the internet but for the bands I respect... I buy their albums. They deserve it; I mean it's crazy how much they remind me of The Beatles. <3

[loki2146]

This is what i listen 2 in middle school (:

[amazingvideoman2]

this song always always always always always always makes me happy :)

[treelaughing]

...I guess you're just what I needed!!!! just what I NEEDED!!

[qleary9996]

You must've heard that from that interview with them. They were totally joking about that, hahaha. The band was actually named after a broken relationship between Kevin and a girl from Montreal, or "of Montreal". So there you go. :D

[juliefactorial]

i don't need a photograph cause you've never left my mind.

<3 of Montreal

[5winston]

god dammit I LOVE this band. Any cds of theirs I don't own?? Nope. ;)

[spilledinsanity]

I can't stand this song, it's too wonderful to remind me of him.

[bigdnizzle]

i love their videos. their so trippy and random :]

[lisandy140]

this is very, very freaky, but... excellent!!!!! =P

[TenDayIntervals]

anyone else hear some major Cars influence?

[TheClarkGriswold]

@jesusjerkoffisgod Then don't watch the video. Simple as that..

[jesusjerkoffisgod]

@TheClarkGriswold hahahaha..i don't fag. i watch you.

[cactusattack]

@jesusjerkoffisgod They are from Athens, Georgia, not anywhere in Canada.

[SimFreak564]

This song reminds me of the beatles and mgmt but the videos just fucked ! ;D

[Teromi]

Sad lyrics, but that's life

great song!

[irishchamp18]

rad

[fakerfake22]

who the fuck is ben gleason

[thatslifeee]

"It's such a burden to carry 'round the vestages of dead dreams." tell me about it.

[BlinkxD27]

love this love this love this :)

[nugsalad]

Ben Gleason knows that I own this cd.

[totallynotjonathan]

Of montreal>>>>>>>>>>>> The beatles

they're just better imo.

[XmummraX]

hmmmm...............

[ROYALgimpOlympian]

that deserves less of a response than this one i am giving you.

[Ranaldo20]

that may be the dumbest statement ever made

[totallynotjonathan]

Who gives a shit its my opinion. You may like the beatles more but that doesn't give you the right to belittle other peoples opinions.

[zoritoo]

@totallynotjonathan yes, you are totally right, but I must say - it's a weird opinion o.o :}

[totallynotjonathan]

i know i like weird non conventional music and of montreal delivers. I've never liked the beatles though...

[mrbillyfart]

hore

[oddgirlie]

Gosh, I think the last time I watched this was 3 years ago. I still love it. I just.... it's so damn happy-making, man.

[TheCrimper]

this gives me a tooth ache and I love it.

[yannaynoe]

My sword 05' XD

[shadesofhades1]

should have ended with and empty stone with a small note on top saying "I.O.U. -- from Arther"

[motterman42]

reminds me of my first love...

[Koalaman6000]

Man, knights love their swords.

[bbilluni17]

yellow submarine much?

[watsaschiller]

ya they got a walrus in it

[spilledinsanity]

This song makes me miserable in the sillyest of ways.

[waitingforsynergy]

of montreal has the best music videos.

[MontrealxxLove]

1:33 is my favorite... when ever i think of of Montreal i will start singing that part.

i am a HUGE fan of Kevin Barnes!

[sydpiper]

Beautiful and sad :|

[finediningtable]

The song has just the right amount of cowbell.

[GreekNeptune]

More cowbell ! LOL

[stewartbrad]

I put on my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make GOLD RECORDS

[FadedMyxomatosis]

Not too much or too little. <3

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

F-in amazing video.

[jiniton]

there is also an electric version of this from their album satanic twins

[timmchap35]

electric in what sense?

[jiniton]

synth

[sahifaha]

0:32 starts my favorite part (:

[SchnubbiXS]

reminds me to Beatles!

Love this song!

[charliexranxaway]

i never ever stopped wondering, wondering if you still think of us... i don't need a photograph 'cause you never left my mind

= /

sigh!

[GTADIFF]

THE OC

[poptartexperience4]

I love this song- except I like the Daytrotter Session better xP.

[SpriteBottleCap]

this reminds me of Monty Python.

[LuvettPieofDoom]

lolz not only did i see charlie the unicorn! but the dude got chased by pedo bear too!? XDDDD EPIC WIN!

[zombieseezombiedo]

this is a big bullshittest and posh, tbh, but i see what they did thar, and i applaud them. Good hustle.

[grazilll]

This band is a hippie band :D peace and love man :)

[jessicagoober]

to label any band as a "hippie" band is ridiculous them being creative and psychedelic dosen't make them hippies

[DearRitaxx]

this song makes me cry i don't know why haha but i fucking love it<3

[TheGreatZephos]

The Owl is the Owl from Harry Potter.

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

let me know who is going to their concert on July 26th in LA???? I am looking to meet other Of Montreal fans...to go to their concert with...

[leftovertacorockets]

damn this shit's a trip!

[cecilecancer]

Gotta love of Montreal, lol.

[vajkosd]

this song and everything from the whole polyvinyl label is pretty awesome

[Michayx3]

this sounds like the beatles.

[TimmytheGeek2009]

yep, several of their songs remind me of Beatles (City Bird) and some have a defintie Beach Boys sound, ep. w/ the harmonies.

[Emyrsaurus]

HI GORGEOUS

[StormyLoveHypothesis]

Why are people trying to answer questions they don't know the answer to?

"O.M.M.2" stands for "Of Montreal Mark II". 'Of Montreal Mark I' was coined by the late BP Helium to describe the first lineup of of Montreal. Mark II ended between Aldhils Arboretum and Satanic Panic.

[buddhacoin]

Thank you for that :).

To me, these videos do not even amount to the songs themselves. I wonder if any video ever could.

[5winston]

@StormyLoveHypothesis thanks, I never knew that. :)

[567eight9]

THE O IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOWER CASE! :O

[ewgayppl]

does OMM2 stand for anything in particular?

is there an OMM3?

is it a new and improved version of OMM1?

the world will never know...

[KDALLmmm]

of Montreal March 2

[crosswalkernie]

This is probably my favorite Of Montreal song, lol.

[jacubio]

so weird omg haha

[kAmi9teen8y5]

Is it just me, or does this really sound like the beatles?

[Humlieisded]

it's not just you, I think so too. it has to be the "mini beatles".

[kAmi9teen8y5]

lol, "mini beatles" that's great.

I think you invented a whole new category, like

"mini VIPs" for people noone really cares about.

winners of star search or "It-girls" and such^^

[amanda23373]

@kAmi9teen8y5 I think it does too :o

[wunkewldewd]

@kAmi9teen8y5 I've always told people that OM is the closest sounding thing to the Beatles from our generation.

[bbrissaa]

@kAmi9teen8y5 you ruined me everything when you compared them with the beatles ¬¬

[SeniaaReezy]

@kAmi9teen8y5 Have you ever listened to the Beatles?

[LeaheyHoo]

hey, check out there new concert video on our page!

[corvis88]

the very first part sounds like the old Dr. Who intro sounds :D

[animelove2021]

[Lameeeee]

just saw them last night! soo good. no other concert will be able to compare

[unholyconfessional]

No really, I'm a strict metal head. But the THC in my system forces me to like this.

[matthias2986]

its funny, this girl i hooked up with in a kinda drunken high fling we had going for awhile turned me onto this band, during one of the oddest times in my life i might add. and its funny the lyrics where he says, "i dont need a photograph because you never left my mind" this song makes me miss those times, maybe not so much miss her, but miss what she represented, and the randomness of my life, and how great it was. ohh and i love this song.

[0dignity69]

I had a time like that and somehow I am still with the girl a year later and she is pregnant! Haha at least I got off the drugs though.

[ionmeketawa]

metal is great. so is this band.

[Principalies]

I feel funny listening to this.

The song in their album sounded must more sad.

This version is so upbeat!

[Florion]

<3 An elephant never forgets!

[StuartGladney]

an elephant six?

[TooMuchKibble]

i know what chu mean :3

*sings along*

[dancedynodance]

This song has such an upbeat tune, but the lyrics are so bittersweet! I LOVE IT! It makes me feel sad and happy at the same time, as crazy as that sounds. :)

[adolethen]

Me encanta esta canción, imposible dejar de eschucharla!!!!!

I love this song, impossible to stop listening to it!!!!!

[beppzz]

l'unica frase a cui penso...è

"I don't need a photograph cause you never left my mind...."

[mermaid00]

Another song with a sad / melancholy theme but an absolutely delightful, happy melody behind it. Love love love Kevin Barnes. Songwriting genius!

[EdieKid]

[magrcon]

This video is awesomeeeee, all the unicorms and rainbows turn me on so harddddddddd... ughhh!!!

[lolyootubelol]

[MarionIA07]

AWESOME!! This song is so upbeat. It is 4am and I'm dead tired but hearing this makes me want to get up and dance around!

[InterracialFilms]

[mrmyersham]

[twoweeksinhawaii]

[SnowPenguin28]

[ThatSecondDude]

itunes says this song is called Requiem for O.M.M.

[filha13]

It's Requiem for O.M.M.2. . itunes is wrong, or maybe it's cut off.

[ohxduffmanxyeah]

they are awesome. so awesome

[sayyes1llamaboylover]

seriously one of the best bands ive heard in a while

they stick out

something about them

[y0mamma0413]

they're the best thing since queen! those harmonies, synthesizers, and all the other stuff that just brings a tear to your eye!

[hreskofreight4]

it makes me happy not teary eyed

[blonede]

this is what my daydreams look like

[franciscotoast]

that must be lovely. :D

[quitejaded]

lmao! you're weird :)

[agentk120]

I get ones like this sometimes.

[kteamonster]

When you're high as a kite.

[AikaGranzchesta]

Nah, this is what everything looks like.

[potcity]

sunlandic twins: in my opinion, their trippiest and sweetest album

[almotasim2]

beatles meets strokes meets monty p

[franciscotoast]

beatles meets strokes meets monty meets bands like ELO kinda

[12da20na]

mmm. beatles meet strokes.

[KidInVicious]

IM ON ACID!!!!

[Bethanybun713]

I always get pissed when I hear the damn commercial. Not sure why, probably because Of Montreal is great and I now associate them with Blooming Onions. Ick.

[quitejaded]

Those damn commercials is what made me even know about of montreal. I was like "dude, this commercial is so cool. I want to listen to an extended version of it. Oh, excuse me? This is a real song? Direct me please."

[ohxduffmanxyeah]

lmao. a lot of fans felt like they kind of sold out. They are still so freaking awesome, though

[AikaGranzchesta]

Wah! I love this music, and the vid is nice, too. Anyway, waaaaay better than the hideous Wraith Pined to the Mist vid.

[mouse264]

brilliant ^.^ really cool animals and artwork and wick cool song!

[bedroomghosst]

horsies and hot air balloons!

[thefrogofheck]

reminds me a heck of a lot like the beatles. Too bad the public isnt interested in good music and I have to find out about this band because of an outback steakhouse commercial

[thehighlander9999]

I'm right there with u, and as a highschool student it's even more difficult becuase everyone i'm surrounded by listens to CRAP!

[heyehowareyou]

so true. rap is crap.

[guitarplayer3194]

ahh i know. so frustrating!

[POOPDONKEY4EVER]

this band is weird, thier music is amazing tho.

[nadirdone]

lovely band

[epicstyleee]

tannerivy

kill yourself.
