Blind - TV on the Radio

[imalatewhiterabbit]

This song made me weep many yeers agoooooooooooooooo.

[Chainlinkable]

@ElasticMinds , almost agreed with you until you put race in it, blanket statements like that are ....... needless.

[jdcooper000]

@Chainlinkable I agree it's not really relevant that they were invented by black people, but there were no blanket statements; it is true. Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson did more to further the genre than anyone since Ralf and Florian. More love, more peace.

[Crazy4evajaycee]

So beautiful, just transfers you to a better place when you need it

[jscarpa2002]

Is this on any movie soundtracks? It seems like it might be a good one.

[evilsdouble]

Sleeper classic most definitely

[Guts124]

Great song!!! So dark and gloomy, wonderfully put together and just fucking awesome!!! Bands and artist like TVOTR, Destroyer and We Were Promised Jetpacks are truly bringing good music back

[JezzeVeeler]

I'm gonna make a bold statement right now: These guys are the Pink Floyd of our current times. The know their craft, and they widdle it well.

[derpityderpderpDUR]

this song saved my life.. thank you.. "because if you save yourself, i'll save you all the time, now what's to blame ?"

[unfocusedfears]

i'm still mighty

[chickenpiggies]

@unfocusedfears tiny

[Suidakkra]

I am glad to just hear something new and fresh. I am sick of the crap out there today. Disney has taken over the world.

[pvandpb]

This song hits really hard. Definitely brings one person to mind.

[YogKudl]

Cause my love My love is a sucker bet Before we find another noose to fit us From what I remember Before we choose another hand to hit us Let us ask each other What's the problem? Why don't you save yourself I'll save you all the time Because if you save yourself I'll save you all the time

[YogKudl]

So I'm sending Open letter to the perfect girlfriend Oh I�m still, mighty, tiny Hoping that you'd be my little godsend Cause right now, I'll take any, and blindly, and Before I find another noose to fit us Before we choose another hand to hit us Let us ask each other What's the difference? Cause if you save yourself I'll save you all the time Open letter to the legions leering Oh, are we entertained yet? Why don't you cast your gaze into the moonlit clearing?

[YogKudl]

I seen a girl With a guy Her hair like yours From what I remember He took her hand And smiled her name Her face like yours She smiled the same From what I remember Been so long since last December She walked your walk She talked like you She shimmered strong She shined right through From what I remember I said I I said I seen a girl With a guy So who I seen? So who am I? Now I can't remember Been so long since last December It�s been so long since last December

[Xlockeed]

Modern lullaby

That's all I can say about this song.

[storms0rz]

this song fucking hurts.. hah.. brought tears.

cheers to a beautiful track however depressing it was for me.

[KurtCantrell]

I need a list of songs like this one.

[InfectedxXxFlower]

writing about music is like dancing about architecture 

[reggae96ambassador]

moonlit clearing

[Kelli2582]

If you can save yourself from the major sh*t, I'll save you everyday from the minor. I hear this song about someone at an extreme place, falling apart. If they can save themself from dying or completely losing it, they will be there, come back to them, be there everyday. At least that's how I see it.

[phlipstar]

One of my favorite TVOTR tracks. I know the song in a whole is about a failed relationship, but what does the line "Because if you save yourself, I'll save you all the time" mean? Any thoughts?

[1erichellstrom]

@phlipstar I think it means I know we aren't together anymore but if you need me i'll always be here. Something like that I think.

[wrapasponge]

@phlipstar To me personally I think it means if you can save yourself from your own troubles and come back to me, I'll always be here for you to save you too.

[TRANZEURO]

This may be my favorite TVOTR song. It's a dark song but it's strangely beautiful at the same time. This is another headphone classic for me. I think ElasticMinds did a great job describing the song and the band.

[masonicboom181]

thanks for the ep load

[lesscunning]

thanks for the upload. peace...

[RabbidRake]

My new favorite song! I've listened to it maybe 20 times only today!

[lokithesly]

yeah no kidding..I never really gave this song the attention it deserved...I can't stop listening to this one and Tonight.

[Fudzbo]

Its so nice and relaxing, really slow, quite different from what I'm used to, but its still really nice.

[theNONperfect]

one of my fave songs from this band!

This band is simply amazing! on stresses out days i like to listen to these guys! =]

[shithappens890312]

in my winamp from 2 weeks this song is on the repeat :) I love it and I love this band too. The whole albums are very good. I recommend it for all of you. Thanks for posting this.

[chickenpiggies]

I think it's basically agreeable that they are the most unique and original band in a very long time.

Nothing that has come before has sounded much like this.

[mattbffm]

loads of the lyrics are wrong :)

[Beanybag2]

Yeah I know. They're wrong everywhere, but I don't feel like correcting them. =\

[iladelph420]

I can't wait to see these guys at Bonnaroo this year. I wasn't going to go until I heard they were playing. They sold it for me.

[renashi]

i prefeer the live version

[Tomtuber1988]

This band is really weird for me, almost all the songs I do not like at first and I'll just randomly come back to them and suddenly they just shine...

[Blackasylum3]

Ha, same thing's happening to me.

[ElasticMinds]

Thats how I began to like all the music I like. Once music like this sticks with you, your stuck! Unlike music that usually hits you off perfectly the first listen, that usually fades with time. What turned me on to TVOTR was how different they were, which makes them better than 99 percent of the new bands out there in my books. Be different, screw what people think, maybe they will understand later. You cant succeed if you care about what people think when your trying to do something new.

[hahabonkbook7]

YES!!!!!

That is so how I feel. I always get worried if I like a song the first time.

[ElasticMinds]

They were also amazing at the monolith festival! One of the best nights of my life!

[ElasticMinds]

A stunning masterpiece! This band is truly revolutionary, a bright shining star in a batch of regurgitation from previous decades. Everything about this song is so originally mixed, you have the dark pulsating beat, and the dark synths in the background, but you have this soulful singing over it that just takes it to another level. I wish TV on the Radio would do more of this, or I'll have to start expanding on this!

[apitimimorexx]

Tou, sir or lady, are quite correct. I adore them, when I heard their first song it wasn't deemed "necessary" to play it mainstream at the time, I love how they've broken through, though. Different IS good!

[ElasticMinds]

TVOTR is electronic rock music done PERFECTLY. The electronics build the emotional underpinnings of the track and the vocals add the soul to the machine as you could put it. I wish people would stop lumping all electronic music as DOOF DOOF DOOF, as much as I love both House and Techno (which was all invented in the US and by Black people). People need to open up their minds and try new things, there is alot that hasnt been done yet musically, or explored. Contrary to what most people say.

[vincynator]

The only existant musical boundaries are not in the music itself, it is in our mind.

[kowtpr187]

@ElasticMinds Techno was invented by black people? what about Kraftwerk?..I mean thats a pretty bold statement to say that hispanics, asians,white people etc. had nothing to do with techno being invented.

[ElasticMinds]

@kowtpr187 Detroit Techno and Chicago House scenes were both defined heavily by black people in the early and mid 80s. Of course they were influenced by Kraftwerk, and various other acts such as Tangerine Dream and the like, and then theres joey beltram and frankie bones from the nyc ciricle. So yes in total there was more than black people, and i even forgot i even made this comment like...2 years ago, and im tired but yes electronic music is a melting pot of cultures and influences.

[RagingInfoMachine]

@ElasticMinds i know. such an unbelievably unique song. not to dis their new album, I respect their shift to happier music, but these darker tones feel so much deeper.

[chickenpiggies]

@ElasticMinds I agree! We need to hear TVOTR in a bad mood so we get more of this dark stuff!

[siik138]

basically how im feeling right now... hits on almost every line.
