Devotchka - The Clockwise Witness

[TheHopefulCastles]

Rice Suave.

[Supergear100]

reminds me of that little zelda

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Brilliant! I love Devotchka. 

[glassessn]

Holy Hell every time I go on a Devotchka song, it always seem to be awesome.

[mbluemyst]

If one can move the listener with lyrics....I'm impressed. If one can do it with only an instrumental.....your approaching greatest. If one can tie both together......you have a masterpiece, and that's what this piece is.

[roxtar55]

reminds me of Zelda (:

[cocobird99]

Omg It's Slender man.

[tissuebox89]

[TrippyZanbato]

Listening to this in high quality stereo after having only listening to it on mono is overwhelming. Literally. o.o

[cacatua2604]

Yes...This's a good song...Devotchka have the bests

[matthew5406]

The ending made me almost cry, I remembered my whole lifetime, and the ending of my favorite tv shows, and what i've accomplished in life, along with my friends that have gone and passed lol

[leneontigre]

@matthew5406 such a profound, deep, and personal statement. Although you completely ruined it by adding 'lol' at the end. WTF!

[VariousPickle]

How can anyone dislike this song?

[reginastarry75]

best song ever..."oh how long will this take??? how long must i wait??????"

[GDscissorhandedgurl]

This is what will forever play in my head when I'm in love, when I feel the world is perfect with someone else, and when I just want to rest in the sunlight.

[Fratos9]

Do People Dislike everything because they notice something profound that we havn't?

[Mountains500s]

[mrpotatoes99]

@Mountains500s so does that.

[Mountains500s]

@mrpotatoes99 that does too. but this can go on forever, can't it? :D

[1337pwnmaster]

[ToxicAim]

[e3xdubb]

It's awesome throughout but.... 3:53-end is fucking AMAZING!!! XD

[marceloch93]

[gaby621]

my god... this is so reminiscent of yann tiersen in the beginning of this song...

[KnezMish]

@gaby621 so right

[VerHohnert]

@gaby621 Thought exactly the same..he likes these toy pianos and all that stuff :)

[DanielWFilms]

@gaby621 Definitely see what you mean! Tiersen's work is so beautiful

[TheKman0000]

[nadakitsch]

@TheKman0000 the beginning makes me think of "Amelie OST - La rede Couvert" from Yann Tiersen.

"If you win the rat race, if you come in first place, then a rat is all you'll be."

CLASSIC.

[Mewledieu]

Je les ai vu au concert de Muse, et ils ont joué cette chanson, et franchement, je pense que c'est ma préférée de ce groupe là ^^

J'étais hyper contente qu'ils la jouent là-bas =)

[Jeo1245]

It's one of those songs that just make you happy somehow theres no sadness or seriousness in it. It just expresses pure joy and peace i love this song it's comforting.

[kimberlily1983]

@Jeo1245 I think I agree that there's no sadness in the sound of it, but there is something somewhat serious, something... fragile. Innocent. Feels like falling in love...

[lollymuse]

This song is so beautiful. I saw them live as Muse's support band and I think I completely fell in love with them, even though I knew them a bit before the show. Thank you Muse :D

[supercrevette]

beaucoup mieux en live !!

[Jeo1245]

nice song

[DjDangerGirl01]

it's a shame i discovered them so late.

they are a-m-a-z-i-n-g !

'nuff said.

[Zachalewis45]

thats a tight back ground music

this band has AMAZEING potential telling by my favorite 3 of their song's

this place is haunted, How it ends, and Clockwise Witness

their all AMAZEING

[sparileidlon]

[SoBeeGees]

By far my favorite!

[treintaytres33]

[thealmightymexi]

[TheStargateGeek]

I don't know..but for me this song is pure happiness.

[Satanskipferl]

[zavalael]

Gogol Bordello: Any fans of Gogel Bordello? They have a free song download of "Pala Tute" on their Web site. I bought their green vinyl 7" on RSD...I love it!

[landgreen1012]

fav song  ever

[toes257]

wow! I found this and its awsome i feel like great after listening to this.

[genonoel]

Wow, this post is pretty intense....The band is out of Colorado and I understand that the lead singer was in a band called 'The Reejers'...tight sound and solid songwriting.....PEACE

[iliveforlennon]

i love his voice and he's very handsome. is this a south western/mexican band. reason why i ask is because they were in little miss sunshine..this is a good song. :)

[Vengify]

@iliveforlennon No they actually originate from my Colorado and my home-city..:).

[iliveforlennon]

@Vengify oh really. that's cool. to me that's still western because i live all the way on the east coast. how long have they been around?

[Vengify]

@Vengify About 10 years, but TBH I didnt even get into them until they had how it ends in the GOW2 tv spot and fell in love with them.

[nmobayed]

one of my new favorite bands, seriously.

[Ziified13]

@nmobayed Me 2!!!! :)

[989kiki007]

i love his voice and the way he uses strings in his songs, really nice texture :)

[midocrimsonfate]

[LoneWolfSaint]

[Saoff]

[TheFineGameOfNil]

Could anyone say offhand what species of tree those are?

's nice.

[landgreen1012]

possibly white birch possibly

[tiefkuhler]

Eucalyptus. overall shape and bark are the tells.

[sifl007]

My guess is either Wild Cherry, Sycamore, or possibly Himilayan Burch...

[mariakrizan]

@sifl007

it's eucalyptus my friend,no doubt about it.:it's the tree of my childhood, i have climbed every single one in my neighbourhood,I always used to end up on the ground as it is very slippery......

[fortunatebystander]

saw them in Chicago about a year ago, they were phenomenal

[Eddie5012]

[rabby77777]

[samownsian]

if you run a rat race and come in first place a rat is all you will be. truest statement ive ever heard

[MrPokedude03]

Beautiful Song!..

[LillyMelodies]

I wish I could walk towards that light between those trees, and just disappear into the sunlight.

[Foxxwild]

@LillyMelodies

Like an angel? There is no need to hide away.

Okay, sometimes there is ;)

[bloodtrailkiller]

@LillyMelodies

[CoolDog933]

Beautiful picture. I wish i was there. I see that place in my dreams. But enough about me, I love this song soo much.

[bananasplits987]

If you win the rat race, you're still a rat. -Lily Tomlin.

[mylescousin]

what kind of music is is please some one tell me because i cant find too many bands like devotchka

[CommanderofUNSC777]

Devotchka's unique music style is called Gypsy Punk. Though they have also been reffered to as Folk Punk and Indi Rock. But I personally believe they are a combination of all three. I hope this helps, and I also hope you'll see them in concert in Denver on New Years!

[Upinthedownhole]

A more hardcore gypsy punk band that I enjoy is Gogol Bordello.

Start off with the album super taranta, then move on to the other stuff.

It's an acquired taste :P

[ephemeraldeep]

Gogol Bordello is the most beautiful, crazy, weird, fun band I know. <3

I'm seeing them live for the second time in January, I'm exciiiited. :3

[Upinthedownhole]

For the second time? Lucky.

I wish I could see eugene's wonderful moustache in person.

[ephemeraldeep]

Mhm. :3

It's beautiful.

In fact, his entire body is...yay. ^_^

He takes his shirt off and all.

[leviath40]

@Upinthedownhole : I did'nt know Gogol Bordello but during a trip in Lithuania, they were in the Vilnius Airport. They had so many bagadges with them (guitares and stuff). They played guitares, singing and they were very funny when we were waiting for the flight. I didn't expect to see an american gypsy punk band in a East European country ;-)

[AshleyLucy85]

I love Gogol Bordello :) I saw them live in Boulder, CO a few months ago

[soudah]

dygzr you are right! I know those bands! Magic- is the word

[myspacefacebookk]

HI*** Can ANYONE tell me names of indie and fusion bands similar to DEVOTCHKA? I LOVE them so much but i dont know more bands with a similar sound you know what i mean? PLEASE help me =P THANKS!

[dygzr]

You should try Beirut, Gogol Bordello and maybe A Hawk and a Hacksaw. In that order. (:

[myspacefacebookk]

Thanks so much dygzr: You guys are help me a lot and i really apreciate all the help =) Its what i really like here on Youtube too: we give and receive information and have contact with different people and this is very nice =)

[myspacefacebookk]

[lowrider55593]

[thewriter57]

Agreed. :)

[Cronakitalyx]

yayayayayyay vi amo poppantelli! angrydadcreator è grande e in napoletani puzzano!

[superchris445]

why does love my way from the psychedelic furs remind me of this song?

[c45wernet]

beautiful song

[whatisdirtyenergy]

I thought this was song about Our society ..."rat Race" - its trying to be the best at things that don't really matter...

[wogboy711]

Shouldn't it matter what the song means to you, rather than someone else's interpretation or meaning?

[Lobsterboyman]

Hey fuck religion, it's a good song stfu.

[BetaShadow99]

i always thought his songs were about love...not religion...

[Nobdelisis]

armónico! :)
