"Coronado" - Deerhunter

[yoheadnot]

Marianne, I wanted to let you know that I love this video. I've watched it a couple times a day for the last few months. It makes me very happy. It's such a perfect combination of video and sound, its wonderful.

[MarianneSp]

@yoheadnot Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me! It makes me really happy that people have enjoyed it so much. It's special to me, too.

I love this song and tenor sax is absolutely incredible!! If those people in the old home movies only knew how cool they were going to be!

[MarianneSp]

@nappyheadhoes ah, they were always cool! :D

[MarianneSp]

@punksbeathippies Thank you! My Rock Fantasy #827 is sitting in on guitar with Deerhunter for a live version of "Coronado," and of course joined by Bill on sax. :-)

[gnomit]

the sax on this song blows it into another world. I've never heard a saxophone sound so distinct and unique.

[MarianneSp]

thanks again to all!

[csal121]

something so sad and happy about this song. i fricken love it. the nostalgic home videos of dancin folks fits perfect. could be official video. halcyon days indeed.

[akie64]

I love the clip you made, great old footage, just seems to match this fantastic song!!

[blueskiesbeforeyou]

love this film put to this song. it's perfect. :)

[boywithstick]

And my friend said this song wasn't danceable! Pffft to her!  I'd love to dance to Coronado with you MarianneSp :)

[MarianneSp]

@boywithstick OK! But you gotta leave the stick at home! ;-)

[williamo5827]

Hi Marianne,I'm the sax player on this cut and I've been enjoying this wonderful video collage that you put together for months.

I consider it quite a complement that you chose Illinois Jacquet to represent me not that I would compare my playing to his in any way,but Jacket was a real soul-cat.

Thank you.

[MarianneSp]

@williamo5827 Wow! Bill! I'm sure you've read in many "Halcyon Digest" reviews -- your sax work on the song really made it special! Illinois Jacquet was a favorite of my dad's, who was a trumpet player in a WWII Army band stationed in New Guinea. :-) That clip was so crazy-awesome, it just HAD to be used! It really was such a fun thing to do, and it's been so especially nice to see that people have enjoyed it so much.

Thank YOU!

[Scumbagization]

@williamo5827 wooow you are awesome on this song!

[ghostface3061288]

@williamo5827 And excellent, subdued contribution on Fountain Stairs, too! DH are sorely missing out to have never played this live yet (especially with you) ;)

[kabix]

awwww, you did SUCH a good job capturing the essence of this song. YAY YOU! and deehunter, too. FUN!

[Jkfilms7]

It's funny how danceable a lot of Deerhunter songs are.

[leotardoful]

Great!

First time I heard this enormous song, I danced the same way.

[MarianneSp]

thanks again everyone!!

[kbernat3]

I can't get over how good this is.

[Scumbagization]

this should be made the official video

[ganamoha]

@Scumbagization I couldn't agree more.

[bouncingsoul10]

this song and video never fails to cheer me up!

[iagolr]

[charlesteitel]

[chilly22]

[pilarzj]

marianne....you make me smile....I'm twistin' away to this while living on the island of Bonaire

[MarianneSp]

@pilarzj twist on! :)

[hrhlynn]

[RonWNR]

Excellent

[nickfromCO]

brilliant video...well done

[hammerbroz]

0:12 so that's the Coronado dance? BRILLIANT

[MarianneSp]

thank you all!

[spidersoma]

That video made the song better.

[jergisen]

Cute! I love this song!

[210210210210]

What an excellent job you've done with this video. I'm so curious where you went about getting all that footage together.

[MarianneSp]

@210210210210 Thanks! It was all found on YouTube, and maybe not quite as much work as it looks, as much of the quick-cut footage worked as it was already! The hardest parts were choosing what to use from all the great stuff, and syncing for flow and a consistent feel. It was a really fun little project to do.

[numbergirl1022]

This vid makes my day.

[MarianneSp]

thanks again, everyone :-)

[TheSkeletonjones]

beautiful indeed, great work!

[Purplebeast824]

This video has made this great song into something very beautiful.

[MarianneSp]

@Purplebeast824 :-)

[vacantmoon]

maybe the best fan video i've ever stumbled across - three cheers!!!

[MarianneSp]

@vacantmoon aw thanks!! :)

[TheMadonna76]

This is awesome! Brilliant tune and the vid is perfect! Great work!

[MarianneSp]

@TheMadonna76 thank you!

[MarianneSp]

Thanks! :)

I'm hoping "Coronado" will be the next single pull from the album.

[fantasmadelalibertad]
