Cold War Kids - "Hang Me Up To Dry"

[Fishyalex]

240p ... We meet again!

[MyLifeBeforeYou]

theyre the holy fucking heaven

[MrJrlazo]

bad ass beat

[dragonwhip135]

The funniest part about this, is the singer looks like Quentin Terantino.



[Biltospill]

@dragonwhip135 he looks like Terantino and Woody Harrelson had anal sex and this is what came out.

[ssstammering]

@Biltospill SUCH a good call, he's a total genetic Quoody Harreltino ass monster.

[janx1979]

MAKE A DAMN MOVIE!!! I WOULD SEE IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!

[ZDanimations]

@invisibleoc

It's obvious that the director wasn't interested in making a video in true BW format. They are also playing a very modern alternative rock sound in the background, does that bother you? The interlace is appropriate where it's done IMHO. This isn't "The Artist", it's a music video for a contemporary alt rock group. Whaddya expect?

[ZDanimations]

I actually enjoyed the momentary dischord of the piano. It's very Ennio Morricone-esc, in reference to the crisis peace. A good dischord in the midst of melody brings tension or, alternatively, release in a song.

[rebel32degrees]

Anyone else hear their cover of "There is a War" by Cohen? Can't stop listening to it. Trying to find an mp3!

[undiscoveredmidget]

I actually prefer the scattered piano part at around the 3minute mark. It shows a momentary release of the pent-up emotions that are normally only expressed in the chorus.

[horsey05]

What's up with people thinking he sounds like a woman?

[MyLatestEscape]

Great song, cheezy video. Beastie Boys did that so much better with Sabotage, y'know?

[kacump]

Piano at 3.08 is not good part of this very good song. Great voice!

[Anglynn74]

too bad mtv doesn't plays videos anymore or they could have been bigger

[IMINTHEMOMENTRU]

the lead singer looks like if Quentin Tarantino and Connor MacManus from Boondock Saints had a BABY.....

[hrwk4]

@IMINTHEMOMENTRU and!!!! you prob look like if seal and roseanne barr had a baby.

[a182ava]

I love Cold War Kids!! Have you guys heard Cold War Kids' cover of Leonard Cohen's "There is a War"????!!! It's awesome, go check it out!!

[carmicsynergy]

This song never gets old. They just did a Leonard Cohen cover for his "Old Ideas With New Friends" compilation, its equally as amazing you have to check it out

vimeo (dot) com/35173350

[WlSEGUY]

shit i thought this was a chick singing.... my mistake but its a great jam none-theless

[pissgraven]

Is that a synth in the beginning? Anyone?

[ProjectCircaBellum]

@pissgraven Haha now its bass the first 4 measures then bass and guitar

[pissgraven]

@ProjectCircaBellum Haha yeah I hear it now. What kind of effect do you think he uses?

[MissTMx]

I love the lead singer's nose. Just saying.

[SuperJontyB]

nothing hit's the spot quite like this ..

[bamarose921]

@sk82live87 I'm a mam. ;)

[invisibleoc]

Spending time with pretentious grading to look like B+W film, and then failing that hard at interlace is fairly disappointing.

[cloakofclouds]

@invisibleoc 1. they are a music band, whats important is the music, not the movie

2. for people who arent extremely informed/knowledgeable about movie and film technique, it actually looks fairly nice. who knows, maybe they purposefully didnt work on the interlace (or whatever that is).

3. if you find a lacking aspect (in your opinion) enough to disappoint you, i am sorry for you.

[invisibleoc]

@cloakofclouds interlace is characteristic of video, see also systems like PAL (phase alternate line), or the "i" in "1080i". No film should ever have interlace artifacts, as no film is shot as alternate fields. It's a glaring anachronism, like making a film about ancient Rome with digital watches on view in every scene.

Once you see the problem, you can't unsee it, it's a neophyte mistake, marring an otherwise cool production, probably caused by bad conversion for upload :)

[2xSpeedStacksDaniel]

Now THIS is real music, *sigh* it makes me feel so nostalgic and I remember hearing this masterpiece of a song for the first time in 2007 on YouTube...I really want to go back so badly! :') The music industry today is crap. >.<

[PorcelainCoins]

Will whoever reads this stop by my channel and check out my CWK covers. Thanks guys :) Pablo

[perry4steph]

this is so very cool, the dischordant piano line, for want of something better to call it, was what caught me by the ear, the viddy is truly art, magnifiprecious, magnifiprecious...

[IMINTHEMOMENTRU]

sounds a little like the "CURE" am i wrong

[houstonjdd]

@IMINTHEMOMENTRU Yes. 

[CatieTheCyberMew]

@IMINTHEMOMENTRU I dunnoooo...... Not really in my opinion, Robert doesnt really sound like this, and the music has a different feel to me.

[SubmarineMarmalade]

@IMINTHEMOMENTRU not at all, to be honest.

[NatalieEatsBrains]

Hello girl on the internet fans.

[SweetSoulDevil]

I love this amazing song!

[Int3rGalactic12]

I could do without the random piano keys

[SubmarineMarmalade]

now hang me up to DRYYYYY

[druman2014]

this is actually pretty soulful, I've always loved this song

[shagingmaster35]

I was high the other day listening to this song. At 3:10 there's this creaking noise and that's in which at the same time I looked up at my air-conditioner ventilator and I thought the noise was a ghost. I had not been scared like that in a long time.

[AmduFrales93]

whoever was on the piano is an A-HOLE.

[F3ARMUFFS]

Whole tone scale is a nice touch in the piano. The ratchet also adds tension and adds to the feeling they are trying to portray, that "something is wrong with this situation." I love this song.

[officepen]

You all should check out The Vogans, they are an emrging band from florida. They are really good and did a cover of this song which turned out extremely good.

[androidesparanoicos]

Georgerous.



[stainedjuanito]

His voice reminds me of the singer in LCD soundsystem

[BnaToToSnap]

@stainedjuanito

Yeah! :D

[Rolanditis]

All the people complaining about 1:54 have obviously never heard of dissonant chords.

[dokterlexus]

Quentin Tarantino? OOOH THAT'S A BINGO!

[bamarose921]

love it. except for the banging on the piano that sounds some little kid took it over for a couple of seconds.

[Batmundd]

@bamarose921 the "banging on the piano" makes the song. it's innovative and adds originality to it.

[sk82live87]

@bamarose921 Dissonance, sir.

[flaminswiftsword]

@bamarose921 I'm pretty sure those parts are supposed to convey frustration

[r7k6p]

Only song I like by them

[leefire2]

:O thats a guy singing? damn I always thought it was a lady

[flynwhyzee]

I've been hung out to dry but never thought to make a song out of it...Oh yeah, I can't sing, Great Song!

[reddorothy]

I was doing a paper on generations in the workplace; decided to look up my own & came across this awesome little band. ;)

[thefeerwasabi]

i'm fucking gonna learn the bass line <3

[matie38]

Ca c'est du son. J'aime *_____*

[SophieInDigital]

Their best song.

[haydenspears19]

the beginning sounds like 'Hell of a Season' by the Black Keys

[Polkader14]

@haydenspears19 or the beginning of the song hell of a season sounds like hang me up to dry by cold war kids. Lol either way its the same thing. Both songs are amazing and I love the new album from the black keys.

[sponge5150]

literally its about washing clothes, figuratively its about being mixed in relatoinships..emoitions



[UnluckyZombieVictim]

this song is about post-dirty socks....

[lyles32386]

this song is sung by your angry t-shirt

[shanintrevino]

this song rips the fuck out of the others!

[TheLifeIveKnow]

This song owes!!!!

[warpull]

Iam a man this song is about perception not sexuallity

[ownedzik]

It's gonna be my new sex song, definitely :)

[Pirhett]

I can proudly say ive seen them 4 times and heard this song each time and it's still jaw dropping to hear it live.

[theillestkids]

[CookieMonster8629]

@epicmonkee cool story bro

[sydneyandsam1]

@CookieMonster8629 tell it again

[CookieMonster8629]

@sydneyandsam1 please don't, you're annoying

[TheMaryworld]

Weird. I always understood: "Careless and awesome are close"...

[hurristat]

I enjoy the fact that Rolling Stone thinks that the Cold War Kids are full of George.

[7jack7]

Whether it's about laundry or scheming manipulative women, this is one of the best music videos EVER!

[pixielis1]

Don't care about the lyrics, just love the sound

[RileyandtheRoxies]

A friend of a friend showed Johnny (From CWK) my cover of this song, and he said the band really liked it. You should check it out, I posted it in a video response to this music video. Hope you enjoy my cover.

[whochachi]

Most underrated band in the past 10 years.

[djsundancekid]

Nasty and elegant at the same time...

[TimThomasIsaBeast]

946 people are not pearly like the wha wha whites of my eyes.

[tyloden94]

Honestly, this is their only good song.

[Luke988]

@tyloden94 Listen to Hospital Beds

[emilyobxNC]

@tyloden94 Louder Than Ever

[gkbabyy]

I love the beat, and the feeling of the video... The lyrics don't hit the spot for me though. Always a fan of an extended metaphor, but when it's over-extended.. idk.

[mujSthiel]

Do you known song where is the same or similar instrumentals cover? think, I heart it in some tv spot.

[hollyninjaaa]

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't matter what the hell the song is about, just the fact that it rocks my face off.

[Duhbearz1]

the instrumentals are the same the whole song hahah it get old the third time through

[JackSkellingFrost]

I think it's about laundry. Yep, this song is definitely about laundry. He talks about clothes and everything!

These guys need some bleach.

[Jauckor]

@JackSkellingFrost ahaha. You are a mother fucker funny guy. Cheers, mate.

[TheHablemas]

i love this song exept for the piano-.

[melmanrlz]

hang me up to try be as freakin awesome as KIDS!

[Bayemaster]

944 people don't like the piano in the middle of the song XD

[SophieInDigital]

People just use eachother for what they want.

[XDAnastasiaXD]

This was my fave song when i was 11 LOLZ!

[RaddChickAndHippie]

944 people didn't get hung to dry.

[JustinBTistaken]

Where have i heard this song from? i remember awhile ago i remembered the band name to look them up

[MissSofiaa213]

My favorite parts are when in the middle of verses he'll just play random shit on the piano XDDD

[bryboy911]

so when does the movie come out?

[lifeguardbabe317]

i dont get what the song is saying though

[HoaxEL1TE]

Is someone catching a fish at the end?

[koccik007]

Lubie to,bardzo to lubie. pamietne chwile w Poz. peace !

[earthboundpikmin]

i'm reminded of "Hey" by the Pixies if covered by the White Stripes... it's very cool :)

[IcyScythe]

@earthboundpikmin ya the vocal style is very similar.

[placematmoccasins]

Does anyone else find this song to be extremely sexy?

[fishboy1998]

My history teacher is best friends with them

[truthfromateen]

This song makes me feel uncomfortably... comfortable.

[IsArtCool]

I wish this was a real movie =(

[WtfDonttouchmethere]

[adriantwilight]

LOVE! Nuff said.

[SamProvorse]

This song is the definition of sex.

[spiralunix]

Lead singer...HOT!!!!

[shadowsplash100]

[MusicIzMySavior]

[guesswhosinahurry]

@MusicIzMySavior as in a bull heard this from 50 thousand miles away and and almost exploded from the amazingness but instead took one gigantic shit that covered all of mississipi

[Tojja00]

[Tojja00]

LOVE THIS SONG ...

[wenders99]

Band reminds me of French Kicks.



[adamgergich96]

holy fuck, thats a guy singing?!?

[Deepstarr7020]

@adamgergich96

IKR, I thought it was a black woman singing when I first heard this band. I saw them preform last night...wonderful, and all their songs sound 10x better live. True talent 

[bellathesunflower]

that woman is so plastic this could never be post war

[franciscokovam]

since i played this song i can´t keep it out of my head....

[Ihadtosettleforthis]

The singer looks like a cross between Tarantino and Myles Barlow

[lymanraptor1]

I wish this music video was a real movie... I really want to see it every time I see it!!!!

[RiG0d]

No the song is not about laundry. It's an allegory for how women use men.
