[tracyhawley]

What can us fans do to help ressurect this fantastic band? Their sound is purely wonderful, they all look fabulous, and of course are all very talented...

[erikfan21]

[kwfurlong149]

@erikfan21 its called a shaker

[punkazzcaddy]

No one in this band smokes pot, I am so proud of them.

[Paycorn1]

@elsol1991 woop de-fucking do

[Philbreezie501]

God Damn that drummer is a one of a kind egg shaker!

[TobeDoss]

And I'm a little disapointed seeing they do the girls screams

[TobeDoss]

Thanks god I met this band when it's not hipster to like it no more =)

[anuenuexx]

I listen to this when I'm lying in bed, waiting to fall asleep.

[proteincheese]

4 people have no blood. That was clever right?

[illmaticstatic93]

@proteincheese nope

[gingasweet1]

they've changed it a bit from whats on the album. although i love them, i think the album version sounds better. i know what goes onto the album is edited, but the chords or melody or something IS different. maybe they were just nervous or something though i dont know.

[66yann3]

Gives me the chills, so proud to be Aussie.

[jimminycrikit]

PALM CREEK FTW

[patali09]

the keyboard player looks mighty bored.

[n0t1n2punk]

did they broke up? disbanded?

[patali09]

@n0t1n2punk yes they are no longer together.

[nadskl]

I knew this way before craxy stupid love...

[MattDominicCullen]

@nadskl hipster comment is hipster

[ncybbob]

Fender Amp and Guitar FTW!

[Chitocastle]

[elsol1991]

I knew this song before Crazy, Stupid, Love

[1NiceOne1]

@elsol1991 I fucking know them in person but who cares how you know them, just enjoy the damn music.

[elsol1991]

@1NiceOne1 Sinceriously, I don't care if you know them douchebag

[ZomBsbreakdance]

@elsol1991 who cares?! Why do people always say that, what are you trying to prove?

[elsol1991]

@ZomBsbreakdance Listen to the song insted of reading comments fag FU

[ZomBsbreakdance]

@elsol1991 why else would you post comments, if not to be read, moron.

[elsol1991]

@elsol1991 go and dance "el baile del venado" and shut the fuck up nigger

[ZomBsbreakdance]

@elsol1991 not only is your ignorance at a frightening level but you're also racist, high five to your parents

[MattDominicCullen]

@elsol1991 hipster comment is hipster

[atombomm]

Check out the graph. See the Galifinakis bump?

[cavmusicnyc]

coolio...........lame they broke up

[TheForeverett]

It's ironic because I, like many others, have discovered this band thanks to Crazy, Stupid, Love, and they have already broken up. :(

[MsMusicphile]

The 3 dislikes means I love it!

[jeffdogs1]

i dont think they understand this is one of the greatest songs in history

[MegaJorn123]

omg so good live. I heard you split up, please don't

[MusicFreakTrabjerg]

This is sooo great, totally chill! :)

[Mattynsv]

abit like Fleet Foxes, like it though

[m4n1sh222]

galifinakis brought me here :\ 

[GerryCantona21]

you're amazing! love from Italy

[Mozzzzy1]

heard these guys split up recently... thanks for the tunes guys

[ordinarydayindayout]

That whistling sounds so delicate and vulnerable. Love it.

[Karmalolol]

needs more guitars.

[ilikeredandblack]

@Karmalolol you need more balls.

[yorkira]

never get a chance to see them live..:(

[ordinarydayindayout]

@yorkira I did, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen in my whole life. They did this massive noisy intro to 1349, it was just the most amazing sound ever.

[ordinarydayindayout]

@yorkira I did, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen in my whole life. They did this massive noisy intro to 1349, it was just the most amazing sound ever.

[ColloidalWarrior]

Townsville represent.

[kimchiis2]

i get the chills every time i listen to this song

[balbinkababy]

i hate when people say they are upset if "their" favorite bands music is used for a big movie.. WHY shouldnt they become more popular? the music will be the same, the feeling will be the same! I came to this band through crazy,stupid, love, too and i am so happy about it! it just shows that extremely cool people are working on movie-soundtracks.so shut up dumb hipsters.

[FeelingTragic]

Their sound is amazing, but they just don't look happy to be sharing it.

[patrickconnor729]

I was so bummed that they used this song in "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Then again, it deserves to be heard. Too bad that 90% of the viewers will never hear it again.

[AhotGuy2323232]

@patrickconnor729 no i'm happy they did. they played it in "it's kind of a funny story" but i couldn't find it. and when i heard it in "crazy, stupid, love" i remembered it again and quested for it. now i got it on my iPod for keeps

[nickfromCO]

could this be any better? wow...what a performance

[GraceB6262]

Theyy are amazing!



[citylaundry11]

it saddens me that such a talented band has come to an end. they were just perfect :(

[lt081]

@citylaundry11 why what happened to them??

[citylaundry11]

@lt081 they broke up a couple of weeks ago

[popham05]

@citylaundry11 I thought they just released a cd like a month ago.

[popham05]

@citylaundry11 Nevermind I just read the announcement where they said they are calling it quits

[ThousandSunAnger]

R.I.P. The Middle East. :(

[baderbudd]

@ThousandSunAnger

Their new album is also amazing.

[BARRINGTON2000]

@ThousandSunAnger calm down they didnt die as people did they. Talk about dramatic They split up before and got back together

[aristolocciache]

@ThousandSunAnger they broke up????

[rhall86]

I'm a grown ass man crying right now listening to this song.

[Hildiau1]

shame they just broke up

[blur1994yllw]

@Hildiau1

well they broke up once before and got back together...so hopefully we'll hear more from them in the future

[pianoloverforever]

this is so good.

[JoObse]

one of the best bands live!!

[TheTechnoTurtle]

Is it just me, or does the ginger keyboard player look strangely like Kate Nash?

[blur1994yllw]

@TheTechnoTurtle

well they both have red hair and are cute(;

[booshazoid]

i've lost count of how many times i've watched this...

[rowdybaute18]

One of my favs :)

[italianshirtwaist]

how do they not laugh everytime they say beard? 

[aiikedo]

@italianshirtwaist I do :)

[clamman27]

brilliant song. totally brilliant



[cm410856]

i know the drummer. i feel awesome

[djaaydot]

this song gives me shivers.i love it

[frans1012]

jesus the song sounds exactly the same live this is a first for me

[ramsteina]

what doesn't everyone thing the first verse means? i got the second and the third...but the first one has me stumped a litte. so far i've got that the older brother should listen to the earth because his sister is in the ground (dead). then i don't get the hair part and the second part doesn't make sense if she's dead. discussion please...

[chattooga51]

@ramsteina when she awoke from the cold sweat. it is sort of a flash back when his ear is on the ground. she was speaking in her sleep when she was sick

[pandaeyes42]

Great band, great track.

The drummer is what Animal from The Muppets would look like if he was middle aged and balding!

[justinriley11]

Ha, he had to tape out the Fender logo on his Tele, silly Gibson.. go Fender!

[Stereocraft]

BEST REMIX OF BLOOD BY KTWC

[superbadstudio]

who's the retard who disliked this...?

[Sunshinemeadchen]

im speechless, everytime again

[toskydra]

I heard of this song from Criminal Minds/Suspect Behavior Episode 109 "Smother" and I couldn't stop myself searching for the song on youtube after I finished the show.

[crazydre82]

I love discovering new music. Just bought their EP on iTunes. I'm really loving the current revival in folk music. So refreshing and calming!!

[rirow1]

THE TRUE MUSIC !

[JessicaFox93]

I Love that i come from the same place as them! It makes me so proud!

[johnnythewonderfly]

How lame is it that the Telecaster has the Fender logo blacked out just cos' it's at the Gibson Showroom.

[1AVA10]

omg this is the best song i ever have felt on my body

[Heather3126]

This song penetrates my soul.

Sad, hopeful, understanding, human, moving.

[Modernbliss]

holy fk! it's Mikey from SLC!

[misspollyjane]

@Modernbliss the old drummer is now in the band panzer queen, look em up

[TheBkDani]

i heard this in an ad and the movie " its kind of a funny story" amazing amazing talent

[TheBkDani]

pure talent.

[nickfromCO]

this is probably the most underrated song in the history of music...

[benboy444]

is it just me, or does this sound like a completely different key to their recorded version?? it's just the guitar that sounds different. actually, it's the same key, but ya just can't hear the guitar. dang

[nickfromCO]

3:13....charles manson on back up acoustic! lol

[michaelnumber88]

One person is really really dumb. For real.

[MyMOSHU]

Awesome interpretation :) Anyone knows if there's an upcoming LP from this guys? We all appreciate the beauty in their music (except the one who dislike the video: maybe a Lady Gaga-Shakira-Justin Bieber-fan).

[KidswithKlay]

@MyMOSHU Yeh, i saw them last night in Sydney and they said their album will be out in roughly six weeks!

You said interpretation, but i think this is an original...

[MyMOSHU]

@KidswithKlay Well, thanks for the advice. I'll appreciate if you can tell me the name of the album when it comes out.

About the "interpretation" thing, i guess my english is not as good as i desire. Sorry men, not my intention :)

[KidswithKlay]

@MyMOSHU Of course, i'll let you know. They currently have two EPs out (thought one of them is more like a single), which you should check out if you haven't already.

[markuz94]

This song is indescribable; unlike anything i've heard before. Props to The Middle East for making the most beautiful song in the world...

[Digidojo]

Statistics prove that there has never been a bad band that has a female redhead. Look it up. This track is beautiful.

[pana619]

hahaha anyone else love how the fender logo's are blocked out

[cm410856]

my ears are getting the best hug ever!

[ausjaylia]

<3

[Heather3126]

If I could love this anymore I'd explode.

I put this on repeat and walk around campus with this song invading my ears.

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

[NETWT08Z]

I remember driving in the car, and i just bought their ablum

i went 40 to 60 down a unlighted road when the drums started

such an awesome song!

[brandonjames88]

zero dislikes !

[saaatch]

@brandonjames88 no justin bieber fans outside :D

[ahosey9865]

I love that everyone in the Middle East sings!

[cooperiscool9]

townsville reppin

[cymballsonvideo]

absolutely god-like.

[louncer215]

i swear, 1/2 of the views are from me alone!

[Steve5095]

@louncer215 the other half are mine ha

[louncer215]

wear your sunscreen and bless TME! 

[legendpride]

this is the best song ever written and played

[adamadamadisadis]

I like how the atmosphere grows when the tambourine gets into the action, beautiful with the xylophone and how they whistle too.

[bauisakim]

Wow nice going at around 3:10 I loved the change of pace. Nice background guitar too.
