  • makes this world less sad

  • RIP Steve Jobs

  • I was brought here by paste magazine. If you don't know about paste then I heavily encourage you to explore them. This sounds somewhat like advertising, but trust me, check them out.

  • It reminds me of the old iPhone commercials.

  • i loved this song when i found it on tap tap revenge 4! i really hope the submarine is the yellow submarine like the beatles!

  • I heard this off Life Unexpected. It's such a catchy and uplifting song. :) I love listening to it.

  • Wie kann man dieses Lied nicht lieben. :) Allein das wundervolle Lächeln der Sängerin zu Beginn zaubert Freude ins Herz.

  • thats the song when the ihpone came

  • LOL!

  • The fastest, most powerful iPhone yet

  • 幸せになりました

    Surprisingly...

  • I love this song, and this may seem wierd, but when I listen to it i get these wonderful pictures in my head and I draw them.

  • OMG!!! I thought I was the only one!!!!!!!!!

  • omg! Never seen an iPhone commercial??

  • Iphone ^^

  • Absoulutely beautiful. I love this part:

    And here we are in the center of the first world

    It's laid out for us, who are we to break down?

    Everyday we wake up

    We choose Love

    We choose light

    And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart

  • Great song <3<3

  • i no john dragonetti...

  • How?

  • wots this rubbish lol

  • Lol xd i love ppl that sits at home and wrights crap about apple and iphone but when it all comes down an iphone is all they ever wants xd yerks ^^

  • i think for apple it was about timing when our economy was all going to shit. apple understands, but you still have to have an iphone right?

  • We all got an iphone and we all love this song :D

    We are awesome (Y)

  • "love can free us from all excess, from the deepest debt, cause when our hearts are full we need much less"

  • I heard this on the iPhone commercial with the whole "there's an app for that" and I'm like, "Hey, Apple, you know that gaping hole your mom calls her mouth?" "There's my cock for that." But they agreed for exposure and out of irony. Like Shepard Fairey and the "WANT IT!" bags he made for Saks Fifth Avenue. Great song. Thank God for Paste Magazine samplers.

  • I find it odd that this song is supported by Apple and yet it has messages of anti-consumerism and anti-materialism.

  • i find it odd that they let apple use it...

  • It's all about exposure. They are an indie band, and indie bands have very little public exposure.

  • Lolrony

  • Anybody know any other songs/bands like this?

  • yeah i love this song,its very chipper haha :D it makes me feel happy and good.

  • Good song, both for its meaning and the song itself.

  • eiii!!! esta es la cancion del IPHONE 3G!!! LOVE APPLE!!!

  • iphoneee

  • the song is better than the video

  • Blake's an awesome singer. She's pretty, too.

  • Man! I love this song but still suck at playing on the guitar ='(

  • I love this song :)

  • Where can i find the piano music sheets for this?

  • Anyone have any idea where I could possibly find the guitar tab for this song? Absolutely love listening to it and would be great if I could learn it. Any replies would be much appreciated, cheers.

  • hiya go this link i use it my self really good for tabs just put in the name of the song and u should find it

    cya

  • Hey. I appreciate your reply, but I can't see any link with your message. Would you mind trying to send it again please. Thanks very much :)

  • type the song name on google and after put guitar tabs.

    you should find it

  • yh i have them

  • Super, génial, cool, d'enfer xD

  • Awesome song! They could have hardly made a better choice for the iPhone-commercials!

  • Where i can download or listen online to INSTRUMENTAL full version or iPhone Ad version of this song?

  • @ itunes.

  • how ironic... ipod commercial

  • iPhone not iPod

  • oops i mean iphone :)

  • brainstorming? iphone 3g^^

  • but seriously, why would you wear a brown coat in a music video?

  • I love this song. Makes me feel cool when i listen to it.

  • I heard that this song critisizes capitalism... so why do they use it for a commercial spot? ^^

    Thats funny.^^

  • Because it doesn't really criticize capitalism. It may criticize bourgeois decadence, but doesn't criticize the system itself.

  • There should be more views for this song...There's an app for that! :-)

  • Yet two of the greatest artists are not on iTunes (The Beatles and AC/DC). Lol sometimes I wonder what runs through the heads of people at Apple...

  • yes two artist refuse to be on itunes so they should just stop the whole thing, sounds very smat to me

  • didnt say they should close itunes. just saying, they could put a little more thought into the store content.

  • Beatles and Apple ..... hmmm. dont think it will ever happen while Yoko is alive. Remember Apple versus Apple in the courts ?

  • im suprised this doesnt have more views because its on the ipod advert

  • omg xD

  • the bad thing is, i saw it on the itunes advert and went to dowload it on limewire!

  • Ha ha ha!!! Nice one lol

  • lol awesome, ditto.

  • you = hero

  • Ooooh great song =D

    I really do love The Submarines =D

  • tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • iphone song lol i love this song

  • why is it called honeysuckle weeks. she's an actress

  • i do actually love this song its amazing

  • Toe tappin'

  • oh LOVE this song. saw it on the new iPhone ad and immediately went to buy it. its AWESOME! and totally fits the ad :)

  • Your easily manipulated aren't you? lol

  • lol yes. Yes i am :)

  • piano.

    sheets.

    want.

    now.

  • He,

    I like your comment, theotendleeey.

  • i wanted to write sumtin but wen i came to here i couldnt think so, GREAT SONG! gd enough comment :-]

  • heard this on the new itunes ad.. it's awesome!

  • Does anyone else find it hilariously ironic that a corporate company; what qualifies as "bourjeousie", are using this song? The message of this song is not to rely on material things, yet the advert is like. "Yes. Buy this phone! It will solve all of life's little problems. =D"

    I'm not complaning, though. If they hadn't used this song, I would know it existed. It's a pretty amazing song... I love the message it gives out.

  • :O You're right!

    Truly ironic :P

    And I also agree about the amazing song part and the message it gives out :P

  • I know. I don't think they bothered listening to the lyrics, to be honest. =P

    Yeah... all hail The Submarines!

  • lols ^_^

  • What's more ironic is that the band wrote the song in the first place. Unless they're giving their albums away for free, the band themselves ARE a commercial operation. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the hypocrisy I object to.

  • Ha ha! I never even thought of that. =P I guess it's pretty inevitable though. Without money, they couldn't have made this song.

  • heheh shazam app :L

  • Mint Song

  • killer song

  • not bad at all. though I find it gets a little bland after the first minute and a half

  • i find your face getting a bit bland after the first min or so

  • the singer is pretty hot

  • Dude...you have no taste

  • wow, i just lov this song and its from apple, they just know the right bands that people like, and never heard before

  • awesome song (Y)

    yeaa i found it through the ad two ;]

  • same lool, apple know the best songs :)

  • I wonder why...

  • She looks like a Technology teacher in my school.

  • Comment removed

  • lol yeah i should

  • iiii pod!!!!!!

  • good song heard it on that i pod ad, good advertising

  • Thanks you apple for featuring this song in your advert , its class, and thats the reason i found it and , shazam is a well class app too :D

  • i only like due to apple iphone addvert

  • Amen to the apple iphone advert to increase the popularity of this song

  • This sounds a lot like Anouk Girl!

  • mint album...kool tunes...recommended

  • i only like due to apple iphone addvert

    lol

  • hats off to the apple marketing department

    great feel good song :)

  • i luv this song its pretty,cute,and has great lerics

  • Love the Song!

  • The same horrifically inane comments on just about any good song. Of course, it all starts with someone saying something negative.

    Just let it go, guys. Geez.

    And also, :DDD NICE SONG. ;3

  • b nbb

  • get a grip folks this is music a gift from god to make life with negative folks a little easier.......

  • Y'all need to chill out. Arguing over music is no different than when two kids argue over which Pokemon character kicks more ass. Love the Pokemon you got. Love the music.

  • This song makes me think of summer.  Upbeat and with a message, too cool. :)

  • This song reminds me of the powerpuff girls. :D

  • well well whats goin on here?

  • seriously. let me help you out; "their" is possessive, "they're" is a contraction for they are and "there" is most likely a location. "too" is the one you're looking for...as in they're pigs too. not so much a grammar nazi, just trying to cut down on ignorance. that way your job won't be sold overseas. you're welcome.

  • thank you i've always had my trouble's.

    :D

  • "that way your job won't be sold overseas". funny stuff...! you want ignorance, try any dane cock, sorry, cook video and check the posts there. many a retard to be found there.

  • you are all losers for argueing on a video on youtube.go get a life all of you! i just watched this because i like the song y does everybody need an alterior motive these days.

  • Good job, you just took part...LOSER!!!

  • I find it scary that it's looked down upon nowadays to make money off of something you do. And since when did capitalism become a bad thing? Everyone sells themselves in someway or another, whether you flip burgers for McDonald's or teach at a university. Are you unemployed? If not, YOU are a hypocrite. I hope to God that when I finish college I'll be able to "sell out" and support myself with a job. P.S. If you want to be taken seriously, learn to spell when you spew your idiocy.

  • Wow, that was such an intelligent response. I mean, how can I even respond to a series of platitudes and sophomoric insults? But you never answered my question...are you unemployed? Judging from the caliber of your response, I'd guess you were in fact "selling out" by flipping burgers for McDonald's and angrily listening to NPR everyday. Then you can blame everyone else for the lack of skill and intelligence that has prevented you from getting a real job.

  • does anyone know of any other indies with a similar sound?

  • anyhow, feist is the one i was trying to remember...

  • lot of good songs being played on commercials nowadays. and hats go off to whoever it is that are picking these bands. they're not mainstream music(think chairlift, and that girl in the ipod ad, little dance number vid?). Much rather hear bands like these as opposed to media whores like beyonce. as if she ain't got enough money, she has to sell out and advertise directv. come on, really, stop it. it's sad and desperate. let these bands get the obvious 15 mins of fame they deserve.

  • i luv this song its pretty,cute,and has great lerics

  • She's so cute! I'm totally in love with her!

  • If you listen to the song its actually extremely ironic that apple uses it in its commercial for the iphone.

  • They do have an association with being overpriced and so conspicuous consumption. Though a lot of their talk about design of computer hardware and software is to simplify and improve the experience, thus allowing users to focus on life.

  • exactly...:(

  • well, they were not influenced by the beatles at all

  • I'm glad I can recognize sarcasm when I see it.

  • lolol. so cheesy.

    iloveitiloveitiloveit.

    the submarines = gawds.

  • all hail communism fight the bourgeoisie

  • youre all kinda dumb.. who cares if ppl heard this song from tv??? who gives a shit?? who cares if you indie rockers heard this song first?? whats the point of telling people that, you only make yourself sound like a loser trying to stand out. everyone here needs to get real and stop being so dumb about a song that apple used. its a good song and apple is helping them advertise it (Sorta). just be cool and listen to the song and stop arguing. and GH is a fun game, and its JUSTA GAME!!

  • Amen

  • I used to get bummed when a song/group I like would turn up in a commercial. New or old though, a lot do it and it's a business to them as their "job" if you will. The artists can be awesome so let's just take that in! And the rest helps them pay their bills.

    I dropped the stigma crap about it and bought this album because I heard it from a commercial - no guilt. More and more there are new ways to be introduced to music and that is good. Just prioritize based on how it makes you feel!

  • i totally agree

  • all the scene and indie kids will no longer like this song now since it's popular.

  • but i still do kindv..

  • LOLZ. So true.

  • O.O -.^

  • this is exactly what fucking Guitar Hero did to all those songs annd artists...Anyways I love this song and Im not really even into this kind of music! Im more on the Thrash/Death Metal side lol

  • i HATE Guitar Hero. it brings kids away from playing real music and they think they can just play fucking video games in stead of doing the real thing. it's sick.

  • lmao, for some reason your comment is hilarious to me and so true.

  • Are you old?

  • this song makes me want an iphone
