Sufjan Stevens - The perpetual self, or "What would Saul Alinsky do"

[Slack3rG3nius]

Thumbs up if Newt Gingrich brought you here.

[Bubzie96]

I love how this is from an outtakes album and it's still a freaking amazing song :)

[MsDomoBear]

This song is good for making you smile :)

[BlackBoysonIce]

I have been listening to this song since 2010, and even though it's not a long time this video is STILL awesome.

[mattfrancunningham]

I kept on trying to find this song from babies and then I looked at the credit and saw this and went on YouTube and found it...hurray!!!!!!!! And this song is as good as pie!!!

[kaneha12]

This is the song of life -3

[evilthesaurus]

this song sounds like a baby's first steps

[elgrantioberni]

tenderness...this song is full of it...

[BlackBoysonIce]

I agree with wqsr4o

[wqsr4o]

@BlackBoysonIce Lol I saw that comment and was like "Wow, that's a bit extreme." Then I saw that I wrote it. :D

[BlackBoysonIce]

this is like the only video of this song on youtube

[wqsr4o]

Some sick fucks disliked this.

[fenderamore]

It's 4:22 in the morning and I'm writing my research paper for class. It's due at 1 o'clock. I just decided to pull an all nighter and get this paper finished. This song is getting me pumped up! go Sufjan!

[nondualaspiegirl]

yep babies brought me here lol

[manaesfrk]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW ME ENCANTA ESTA CANCION!!! JAJAJAJA XD

[skylightrazors]

I downloaded this song and it cuts out with some woman singing in italian or something.

[Loni899]

@skylightrazors same thing happened to me! why?? Rest of the songs play just fine.

[FailarielArFeiniel]

@skylightrazors its spanish actually, and same happened to me...but i really enjoy her singing...just think it doesn't rlly fit with the song xD

[sverlend]

what is babies? lol

[Genesis1864]

@sverlend its a movie..... very bad one too. lots of nudity.... bad nudity

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@Genesis1864

Is your comment a joke?

[Genesis1864]

@xLordOfTheFliesx no not really but i probably think its bad because i saw it to do a project in my religion class.

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@Genesis1864

Hmm. They're just babies, sir/ma'am. There's nothing wrong with them being naked. If anything, the movie is about realizing the oneness of human beings around the world...through the universal loveliness of babies. Ok...just glancing at some of your favorite videos...you must be trolling. Never-mind, then.

[Genesis1864]

@xLordOfTheFliesx sorry i don't mean the babies. but then again im a 15 year old who knows little about other cultural "norms" other then my own.

[tigertori19]

I love Sufjan Stevens He is an awsome singer

[MrZaloski]

I knew it was Sufjan! I knew it! They told me I was crazy but I knew!

[BrownEyedBrunettez]

LOVE THIS SONG:D so inspirational

btw what is avalanche i know what it is but the movie?

[jfn1188]

@BrownEyedBrunettez , it's an album by sufjan stevens. he is the man that wrote this song.....

[TheFeelingsStore]

@BrownEyedBrunettez

It's an album my Sufjan Stevens

[iCorgi]

Focus Features always has the best soundtracks. I mean really, what a great song.

[ductape2468]

I wish this song went on forever!

[undertaker1029]

i wish this song plays everytime i wake up, if that happens i wouldnt mind waking up in the morning everyday

[MonsoonWinds6]

Love this song!

[Shaggysan]

Thumbs up if "Babies" brought you here

[starhammy]

Babies anyone?

[marthamehmeh]

This is just the greatest song to wake up to in the morning!

[funun2]

his music is whimsical

[baddogonline]

Saul Alinsky was an evil communist-devil worshiper, who brainwashed poor people into becoming victims.

[shadok0]

@baddogonline

Of course, you're not brainwasshed AT ALL !

;-p

[mamboulila]

i was looking for this song 5 months its amazing i love it

[doomy]

Okay so when I downloaded this, it was somehow mixed with a spanish song? I came here just to verify that the real version doesn't actually have a breathy latino lady cutting in.

[iBegToDiffer]

@doomy thats hilarious

[dgrsslvr823]

@doomy you're not the only one! it sucks cause this is one of my favorite songs on the album, too.

[johnnythewonderfly]

This one time, I hit a baby's head with a spade.

I then ate it.

The spade not the baby.

I'm not a freak like.

[decorarocks]

@johnnythewonderfly okkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[SpiffySyd]

[OhNoesItsSarah]

[sasukeluver345]

the timing in the credits where Hatti was banging on something with a stick and the xylophone chims in the song, was a magical perfect match!

[GenevaCandyGlamTV]

@sasukeluver345 I miss those babies dearly :')

[sasukeluver345]

[wildgangstag]

@aliciacarey88 wtf?

[spanish360]

downloaded all of sufjan's music and this was by far my favorite song

[DISCL0SE]

I have this song on my iPod, that my friend had put on for me and it does like three seconds of the song and turns into an Opera song....I think I've been Rick-Rolled

[spanish360]

@DISCL0SE i have this too

[iCraacked]

Love this. :D

[MissLuckyCookies]

ich habe den film gesehen die musik war eins der besten grüpnde warum der film gesehen werden muss.

[sudfuty5]

I have a version of this song where after about 10 seconds it turns into some spanish song, but then turns back after about 20 or so seconds. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and do they know the spanish song?

[gmjjack]

beautiful

[Honeybellie13]

i already love sufjan stevens, especially 'casimir paulauski day', but when i heard this song on babies i loved him that much more :)

[erlath27]

uh oh!!

but i know you can take it to the lord

[shikamaruluver3]

Why Cant Most Music These Days Be Like This?

This Is Awesome . C:

[LoneFox852]

This sounds like a christian song doesn't it?

[JoshKnightmare]

@LoneFox852 actually it's about life. not about God.

[YanaMarieful]

*__*

[ToastyLermon]

I'm here, because of Sufjan Stevens...not Babies. (:

[erlath27]

Christian song!

[MonsoonWinds6]

@erlath27 YES!!!

[ilikestupid]

I didn't even know this was in "Babies" until I finally glanced at the comments here. . . no wonder all the related videos are the "Babies" trailer... I thought Youtube. Hmmm, what's this make then? 3 movies w/ Sufjan music?

[pinklemonud]

[thegraciepie]

[darkkclovers]

I google searched: "music used in babies movie trailer" and found this song. It's really good.

[omghowisthat]

Does anyone know where one can get the mp3 of this song?

[omghowisthat]

Does anyone know where one can get the mp3 version of this song?

[AMagnoliaBud]

@omghowisthat

[ikeepmyeyeswideopen]

@AMagnoliaBud i tried that & It is only PC compatible- i have Mac OS X 10.4- do you know a converter that is compatible w/ this? thanks : )

[silverysongs]

Ever since I saw the Babies trailer, I've been trying to find this song - thank God I have.

[silverysongs]

baaaabies! wey.

[thatguy0693]

who is saul alinsky?

[Ardkok]

@thatguy0693

He was a pretty famous ameriacan community organizer and a writer.. Not really interesting, but he was a great influence on the american democracy.

[offpatsmile]

@Ardkok his community development experiments were very interesting - especially the mass bean fart party by black Kodak workers in South Boston - I recommend a read, Saul Alinsky is a very interesting character

[alexgordonepic]

@Ardkok very cool. alinsky deserves a song

[omegamanGXE]

BABIES!

[Doedelzzakspeler]

Yeaaah OST for babies <3

[gisalex08]

@Doedelzzakspeler right...lol

[abhi07abhi]

Babies :) woohoo , this is awesome . Has the movie come out ?????

[camdenite]

Babies trailer...

[pumnkingusti]

Has anyone read the lyrics? My favorite line is "Is it weird that you perpetuate yourself?". Something to think about when you watch 'Babies'. :)

[raiders2000]

BABIES :)

[StFaceKillah]

this is music to my ears.

[planitL]

I love this song! I keep listening to it over and over and over....

[pricelessposition]

Ha ha, I'm here because of The Babies trailer but when I realized it was Sufjan Stevens I was like oh shit... More reasons to love him, I would have never guessed it was him though to be honest.

[Ralphi73]

Such a catchy beat! makes me happy when i listen to it!!!

[moumouren]

WOOOS! I bought this album after listening to this song during the BABIES trailer LOL! :D

[Rollpoll09]

I saw the Babies trailer.

It took me FOREVER to find it..

Am I the only one...?

xD

[decuadie]

@Rollpoll09 it took me about 2 minutes:D

but I found it through Babies too, very catchy tune!

[DanceSexMusicHipHop]

I had to find out what this song was after seeing that trailer! I see I am not the only one!

[daisys124]

i had a hard time looking for this song after i heard it in the babies trailer. i finally looked for it in wikipedia thank god! awesome song:)

[wetterdew]

I'm glad I was introduced to Sufjan Stevens...by BABIES.

[someobscurename]

Saw the trailer at the theater a while ago, jumped and said "THAT'S SUFJAN" embarrassingly loudly. Very excited, perfect song, awesome artist.

[SanasSweetMode]

@someobscurename

Did the exact same thing.

[alward21]

@someobscurename I did the exact same thing! Practically screamed "SUFJAN STEVENS!" I don't regret it in the least.

[DinoDigitzTM]

took me forever to find such a beautiful tune. theme for my life :]

[macaroniman2000]

Lol if only i could find this somewhere on the internet so i can put it on my phone XD
