I noticed a couple of comments saying this song was uplifting and energetic. I've always found it to be a very sad song. It just has a bit of a downer feel to it despite being fast paced. It's probably my favourite CYHSY song.
Not trying to be a douche, but I don't know how you could put the two in the same category. If you're referring to the voices of Alec Ounsworth and Thom Yorke, you're still wrong.
but they sound exacly the same if you had ears...even the guy who put this up is named radiohead91so he must like radiohead and clap ur hands say yeah
I would say these guys are one of the best "NEW YORK" cool kid bands. Along with the YYY and The Shins etc etc. They aint that great but they all have some pretty good songs.

Um... "Leave Me Alone" by New Order meets David Byrne's singing much?
I can't appreciate this band because I happen to listen to the artists who's catalogues they plunder. But then again New Order's sound circa Power Corruption and Lies is so ingrained in the general "indie rock" sound there's little point complaining.
Except when you know the artist should know better, and they get credit for "originality" that they don't deserve *glares*
Hey, well at least when I criticize a band I don't just say "thiz band suckz donkey ballz lololololol", I state my reasons. I don't think they're a -bad- band, I just think they get more credit than they deserve.
this song doesn't sound very much like Leave Me Alone. the guitar sound is different. the chord progression is different. the pulse of it is different. and CYHSY's singer doesn't sound very much like David Byrne or like he's trying to be David Byrne. you are pretty much wrong in every possible way
LQ doesn't even begin to do justice to the brilliant production. The sound of this song is mind blowing - and to think it was recorded in a home studio of all places!...
I always play this song after a long, hot day in the sun; such a recharge.

the lyrics are pretty good, almost dylanesque, blonde on blonde era stuff.
alec's voice can detract from them a little, but, personally, having to look at the lyrics doesn't bother me if the music is this good.

this is my all time favourite song. gets me emotional. alec ounsworth's voice is just perfect for this music.
