[ncstateofmind]

[junglekiDD55]

NICOLAY & PHONTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[dtsjr1227]

Wow! My ex that I still have love for just turned me on to this amazing song. She said its a "David" song, me. It gave me chills and I listened to it at least 5 times in a row. Dayum, it is so, so, so nice!

[dbug4eva]

My dad was lucky enough to get to meet phonte and nicholay and zo and he told them about me and they r really funny and nice and nicholay is TALL!!:D

[BlackandCoal]

COOL VIBE

[ChimaTheKilla]

*Vanity Slaves pt.2"

[ChimaTheKilla]

Kendrick Lamar used this beat for the song "Vanity Slavespt pt 2"

[mbz28466]

The song is about heron. addiction and necessity. Didn't you see dude heating up the spoon in the beginning?

[kiddvandal91]

this song is one of the greatest but also most annoying i know let me say why it has inspired one of my best dance peices but i've been redoing the peice for 2 years because i don't feel its worthy lol hence greatest but annoying :)

[kuyahseven]

i want to know what's wrong with the 23 ppl who clicked "dislike"

[aBlackHippy]

When i hear the beat i cant help but rap vanity slaves pt 1

[hiphopgranni]

Awsome track ! need not read too much..Darkness is the Daykeeper. Mesmerizing ,simply put... ABSOLUTE !

[NANDOISM]

To the Foreign Exchange: When you make it "BIG" please do your original fans a favour. Keep it real and keep making music from your souls....

Sincerely,

Your Fans

So powerful

[RBLALLDAY]

Im fuckin ripped

[djdabblin]

Soul Sunday Sexy

[iwanabefree]

luv the song but can anybody tell me what its about?

[AwesomeNerdette]

@iwanabefree: To me this song is about cheating, I believe the "daykeeper" is the woman he's with during the day. She's trying to convience him she's the one he should choose because everything they share, but he lets her know that he like what they had, but she can't keep him anymore. So it seems to be a struggle of wanting to stay and knowing he should let her go. Just my thought on the meaning of the song.

[Bhatch2007]

@AwesomeNerdette Thanks, just heard it last night and was pondering it's meaning.

[Bhatch2007]

@AwesomeNerdette I now like to think of it as an unemployed man who just got a new job. Lol

[AwesomeNerdette]

@Bhatch2007 I actually LOL at that comment... good one!

[beanershot2007]

[ajtwista92]

[IAMLBSS82]

[IAMLBSS82]

[woode29]

Hmmmm ...nuff said..

[calibeeze251]

I just got my hair cut and heard this in the barber shop. I asked my barber the name of the group and the song and that's how I found it on youtube. I've only knew about this group for 2 hours and I'm already a fan! LOL

[bpatient843]

This song pus me in a trance when I work out.... this always gets repeated at last 3x's hella dope!

[tecatt]

love love love these guys

[fraideeecat]

I LOVE The Foreign Exchange and cannot wait until they tour on the US east coast!

[gingaguy]

Just...Amazing...amazingly beautiful

[asarhene]

I absolutely love this song and video; it just touches my soul, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S ABOUT!?!?! Please some1 tell me, I'm open to a lot of ideas. 

[ludious73]

@asarhene Seems like he is cheating and she knows it, and he treats her like everything is fine in the daylight, but at night, he's creeping around knowing the woman at home loves him, but thinking she doesn't know.

[shayla1986]

@asarhene For some reason I feel like in the video she is drugs personified... Like he's trying to fight an addiction, but she's sitting there waiting for him. In the end, she kills him? (I just noticed the gunshots at the end...)

[pharaohoftheincubi]

it WAS sik. i was there too :D

[liamsearle247]

@wumzum:  man i bet was sick, reli wanted to make tht concert but had an exam :(,

[Wumzum]

Saw them yesterday at Cargo London! their first gig there... SO GOOD when this song came on!

[zigzagzig40]

Do any of you ignant fuckers know what this song is about ???? The CIA plotted to control our superhuman powers as a race by introducing guns crack and heroin into our neighbourhoods not necessesarily in that order that rest is history.

[ElectricMaze]

this song plays at my job more often than not. SCORE! <3

[Slemon0553]

I wish good music like this get radio play.

[IversonsWife]

they're gonna be in London in a few weeks - i can't wait to see them!!!!

[MrChestPaine]

I raped the replay button

[kindredQ]

who's the woman singing?

[IversonsWife]

@kindredQ her name's musinah....

[daronator90]

@kindredQ Her name is Muhsinah.. She is amazing. She's also a producer as well, being that she's somewhat Common's "protege". Check her music out.. It is amazing and definitely out of this world :)

[kindredQ]

@daronator90 Wow, this chick is dope. I just checked out a few of her songs and fucking love LOSE MY FUSE. DAmmmmmmnnnnn.... Anyways, thank you.

[kindredQ]

@daronator90

Wow. thank you. I just check out a few of her songs and fell in love with "lose my fuse." with flying lotus? DAMN!!

[daronator90]

@kindredQ Yes I love the Lose My Fuse song too.. I cant even say I have a favorite by her.. The very first song I heard from Muhsinah was "Discovery".. When I listen to that song, I can see sound, like really. It may sound crazy but I can really visualize her music.. Its like art to me from her voice to all the instruments and sounds included in her music.. Cloud 9!!

[patrickposey2003]

you guys gotta check out the song with phonte from little brother and fhis group its called yellow lights i love it

[KittyKittyKia]

Listening to FE is like getting high for the first time over and over again. No more radio for me.

[KillaClem]

he thinks nobody knows ??

[MissTheaLovesMusic]

Congrats on the Grammy Nomination!!!! Real Music might be in style again!!!!!!!!!

[sammylynne1]

ok... had to comment again cuz im almost to the end of the song and all i can say is damn damn, all the ppl who are into mainstream are truly missing out GAWD i feel luck to have discovered this group guess better now than never :)

[sammylynne1]

wow i have only heard two songs so far and im already in love

[waytoohappy1]

+FE coming to London Jan 6th . Just wondering if Mushinah will be there

[Ice2watcher]

Didn't expect so many ppl listen to them. greets from switzerland

[onigun05]

loved every minute of this song

its mandatory you see this live.......you'll never forget it

[TheLavenderbutterfly]

What in the world?! OMG! I have been trying so hard to find a sound that moves me inside! That makes me desperate for air. They have over extended excellence! WoW! Their combination of jazz, soul, neo soul, rap...we're talking about Artists people! Real Artists with deep heated Energy! ENERGY! Their sound makes me desperate for air! I don't like rap but the soul, the flow of energy they birth. How they connect so well with the sound of Earth. A sweet secret I don't want to share.

[theeLadyRae]

This song is absolutely beautiful and the video is amazing! I love how it matches the feel and tone of the song.

[dierra91wildone]

.. heart this song

[theePROTEGE]

Amazing, beautiful simplistic love. I want that.

[johnnydallas02]

Ok just point to the 14 fools who say this song isn't good... they must be apart of the Bush administration... LOL

[SirKingTay22]

@johnnydallas02 only logical explanation i can agree with.....lol

[IridescentVelocity]

@johnnydallas02 i love your comment ...lol!

[YoungSean1982]

If you haven't heard this album, you have no clue what you're missing

[vyoung82]

I swear this song reminds me of this cat I'm into.. seriously..(GETTING CHILLS)

[artoscope]

LOVE

[iiHateSouljaBoy]

OMFG...I HATE VEVO!

[IamHalf]

it sucks when its so easy to find terrible music because of so much radio play but you have to search so hard for good music.. im glad i found it.

[VBH130]

@IamHalf thank you i thought i was the only one

[dalynca]

@IamHalf thats soooooo true

[kebuileng]

@IamHalf I second that motion, good music is difficult to find due to being overly saturated by what radio puts on blast. Look up or google Podtape, a podcast playing music made in Botswana and mostly considered not radio friendly. podtape[dot]mypodcast[dot]com

[JwahAmore31]

@IamHalf Me too!!! I can not agree w/you more! Cheers, mate!!! - J

[ladikira86]

@IamHalf preach!

[ybrik222]

@IamHalf

You had to search hard to find the Foreign Exchange?

[TheBLACKMQQN]

@IamHalf DAMN WHAT U R SAYING IS SO SAD BUT TRUE. THE REASON RADIO IS NO LONGER A SOURCE OF MUSIC FOR ME.

[412525765]

@IamHalf so right so right!

[kingjaffiejoe2323]

FE cant be top. Smooth vibe, upbeat tempos come on man! LB/FE/JL FOR LIFE!

[qnzvixen]

Muhsinah, her voice is beautiful. This song is lovely, the video personified the concept of the song well. FE is fly.

[tariqamazin]

great great music!

[DJcopper116]

they just had to break up

[YUNGONNA1]

How Can You Dislike This Song

[bigbrotherkashmere]

The beauty of a track like this is (and most of FE's music) that it can be used to sing to or if a few choice MC's were to put words to this, it could be just as beautiful in a new way.

End of the day, amazing, versatile track. And I can't stop listening to it.

[FaNofnothin]

wow chills don't even describe it

[vyoung82]

Yo.. this is my songgg right here.. for real..

[ShannetteS]

check it

[HappyTia07]

One word to describe this song Beautiful!!! Simply beautiful!

[1quirkykitty]

Wow, I'm loving this song & the video so much. The creative energy & that went into the words, music, & video concept...man, SMH, incredible. I'll say it again, FE is truly being slept on.

[lblu32]

I jus got Leave It All Behind and I have fallen in love with this song..Excellent! This is the type of stuff I wanna hear on the radio

[anice1114]

The words to this song give me chills

[MyJunior1975]

"Authenticity" by The Foreign Exchange in October...my calendar is marked!!!

[thadawerk]

This is a really nice track

[nekameka]

(L) Muhsinah

[jonathan2002ga]

Sexy video.

[nonny419]

all those who disliked this song/video can FUCK OFF

[ybrik222]

@nonny419

... Your mom. :P

[biggie101]

i believe this is one of the top three greatest songs of all time. now im just trying to figure out what the song means? anyone care to help me figure it out ive had it on repeat for the past hour sitting here thinking about it lol

[mschevious77]

Man I can't wait til they drop another album

[TutNStrut]

And the 14 that dislike this...what kinda taste in music do you people have!?!

[TutNStrut]

I always tear up around the 3:00 mark...true story.

[U23Z26I9]

These guys should do a whole album with Ghostface! Phonte and Ghostface rapping (prolly the only two emcees who could rap over this style effortlessly) with Phonte singing? Let Nicolay do his thing and it'd be an instant classic, I promise you that!

[wdy73]

lol funny that they have a flame in the very beginning of the video cus I just left a comment on the other video about writing in bed under candlelight while my ex sleep beside me. plus I don't believe that its about drugs but about LOVE and how loveing someone so much that the emotions that come with that love are so powerful that it can be compared to drugs like redi rock or heroin or whatever.

SO VERY BEAUTIFUL

have you ever layed in bed & talked till the sun came up with the one you love ?

[thephantom0]

Favorite track on the album. So much emotion. So much weight. So much atmosphere. Incredible song, vocally, lyrically, and musically

[TutNStrut]

@thephantom0 I agree in all aspects. Well said.

[mizzamoe]

This is a great song, but depressing to me...

[DaveCarrMusic]

Mesmerizing, simply stunning...

[OjBlack100]

Words fail me to give an apt description of what this song means to me,call me corny but if you are someone deep who understands the significance of the lyrics to this song and have been in a similar situation then you will be able to relate to the words.

True love/affection is between two people is a powerful thing and Foreign Exchange through 'daykeeper' expressed in a beautiful way the sacrifice,emotion that two people who care for each other go through.

I have repeated this song 4times.....

[waytoohappy1]

@tjc89209 - think I kinda agree with you - I love it - played it a million times.....

[JayBiggz]

phonte sings very nice

[Murs4President]

Has anyone heard any discussion about this song, or know what it's about? Like maybe the girl can't cope with him being gone so she resorts to drugs?

[Proaioin]

@Murs4President At the beginning, you see a spoon over a flame, which shows his desire to do drugs, and when ever he goes to do drugs, the girl is left feeling alone, abandoned. So just as he was about to go out again and do drugs, the girl comes to mind, and when they embrace, he remembers feeling her warmth. Now he is conflicted, either let go of her and do drugs, which is ruining his life and relationship, or stay with the girl, and fix things, and you see what choice he makes...

[anice1114]

I love them!! 

[murff76]

great video.....Phonte true songmaker

[Proaioin]

I Can't Stop Listening To This! I Interpreted It A Certain Way: A Couple Who Love Each Other So Much That They Can't Bear To Be Away From Eachother, But One Day The Guy Is Called To Reality, He Has To Finish His Education To Build A Better Life For His Love. Whenever The Couple Is Together, Time Stops, But In The Back Of His Mind,He Knows He Has To Go,To Better Their Life.The Girl Wants Him To Stay With Her,No Matter What Happens, He Repeats "She Loves Me" As He Goes, Her Love Close With Him

[Proaioin]

@Proaioin Im Kinda Going Through That Situation, Maybe That's Why I Love This Song :D

[fatkingwhv2009]

jayz is an idiot.

[chinewmarie]

what a beautiful video

[YoursTrulyGraphix]

YEESSS!! <3

[eucrawley]

@ Caboose1320, I really don't see what you're talking about. :-(

[waytoohappy1]

love this......................

[iluveyeshadows]

wow!! powerful! Beautiful vid & song! This one goes to my favorite!!  Thanks my handsome Prince :D

[caboose1320]

Tool ripoff much? Anyone ever hear of Parabola? The similarity is undeniable...

[WeCrashPityParties]

@caboose1320 WTF are you talking about? Parabola was claymation and stop motion animation. A GFX heavy P.O.S.

[DrAmAtIc]

this song is timeless
