Silverchair - Those Thieving Birds/ Across The Great Divide

[Barefoot67]

nevermind

[Barefoot67]

cool , where is this from?

[BretBaber]

For everyone complaining, Diorama is by far their best album. The melodies and maturity just shine through, and the music is smarter than any music Daniel Johns has written to date. If people can't comprehend that, well then they are just dumb.

[lukinijuice]

WOW! That was amazing!!!

[sirweeze]

how the hell can he sing that well while playing guitar? not just playing chords either. he is remarkably skilled

[jbthorne2002]

1 person is a complete douche, with no taste in good music.

[TheRockchick94]

that was absolutly fantastic!!! i love the chair!

[roodbois]

7.10 onwards is particularly epic.

[sean210420]

Hell Ya Silverchar i been pimpin this album for 2 yrs!!!!

[sulfurric]

This is an amazing song, from an amazing album. I think Young Modern was the maturity of Silverchair, and if it doesn't really rub you the right way, you can't consider yourself any type of Silverchair fan.

[TheRockchick94]

@sulfurric i really dont agree with you here, just becuase young modern isnt my favourite silverchair album, it doesnt mean that im not a silverchair fan :s thats a ridiculous thing to say to someone! Im sure there are a couple of silverchair songs that arent your favourite songs, does that mean that your not a true silverchair fan! and what are you even implying, that i cant appreciate their maturity, grow up! i love silverchair, they're amazing, so obviously i am a fan, arent i??

[sulfurric]

@TheRockchick94 Did you respond to this three month old comment to stir up drama? The whole idea of comments are personal opinions, I expressed mine, and you obviously didn't like it. This album is the mature of them, overcoming issues, and writing better. I'm not sure why -you- personally took offense to my comment, since I didn't specifically say -your- name.

[TheRockchick94]

im not into drama.. just didnt like what you had to say. I took offence becuase ive been a silverchair fan since i was like, duno, 10 and just becuase Yound modern is its not my favouite doesnt mean im not a fan, thats all im saying.

Chill your beans..

[TheRockchick94]

@sulfurric oh and saying its better writing is simply down to opinion, his writing makes no sence on young modern. But if you can unravel it, good for you!

[sulfurric]

@TheRockchick94 Everything about their maturity is better. You don't have to understand it, few fans do, and few fans hold Silverchair in a different light. Most artists make music for their personal vent, and there's usually always a fan that can tag along mentally and hit the same spot. You should probably be the one to chill out, maybe I should find it offensive that silverchair fans can't adapt to the bands growth; I don't. Like I said.. different strokes.

[adrastea]

Being life sing love indeed.

[gonabefamouse]

i cant beleive i missed this!

[lostboy765]

Incredible musicianship all around. I'm surprised so many people dislike Young Modern; I feel it's a natural progression from Diorama (another brilliant Silverchair album). His hard to discredit the songwriting when it feeds from numerous different musical styles, twists and turns, and it all feels natural and unforced.

[fanamire1]

Dunno what people mean when they say Dan's voice is affected by dope, his control and pitch is awesome here!

He seems to be more at ease talking on stage too.

Lovely!

[paradoxrock]

Can't say I'm a Young Modern fan but this song is probobly the best track on the album...

[Timeforthaunted]

@paradoxrock Young Modern has a lot of good songs!

[no1zgrl4eva]

Ok I am ready to climb through the screen here, good holy GOD this man just gets hotter with every second!

[420Guitar420]

Althought I don't really like anything from young modern except maybe 2 or 3 songs, his lyrics seem to be a lot more well written on this album. They seem like more coherent thoughts than just ramblings.

[no1zgrl4eva]

I agree with you, lyrically and musically Daniel has evolved and then evolved again, and his skills as a musician and songwriter are extremely sophisticated now. He is so talented, and lol, as my other comment says, not the least bit hard to look at either.

[thephantomlady84]

i just noticed that Mac is wearing a Yoko Ono shirt, lol. possibly a FU to the people who say he's messing up silverchair? hahaha

[no1zgrl4eva]

Good point, wouldn't surprise me.

[DRMCHAM]

fuckin phnominal ...he blows me away!!

[PinkGuitarWoman]

fuckn love this song, lyrical genius !

[lappinsilver]

I love this DVD...Although DIORAMA IS THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME Young Modern is still good, not as good as their older stuff but it's still really fucking amazing!

[cheeseUout]

there new modern stuff is totally different from..well..all music nowadays. It certainly is very creative. Young modern actually reminds me of some japanese bands like Mr. Children or Spitz. Maybe Silverchair got their inspiration from them. Whatever it is, Young Modern requires some time to get used to it.

[cottoncase]

I read somewhere that Daniel Johns got a lot of Young Modern inspiration for Autobahn by Kraftwerk. I think theyre a little bit like what you're talking about :-)

[thephantomlady84]

you're exactly right, Young Modern does take some time to get used to. the first time i heard it i hated it, didn't even listen all the way through. but it grows on you, and i love it just as much as all their other albums now. it's fun to dance to, lol.

[TheTVs]

Diorama is the fuckin shit!!!! I saw them perform live once in NYC...blew me away!

[beatnikplaysatune]

@lappinsilver Diorama truly will always be the greatest album!

[Alemao10Tricolor]

bring life, sing love!

[shetastesthecandy]

from beginning to end this vid just completely captivates you doesn't it? There is only one way to describe it just like several others have put it--masterpiece! I love all Silverchair music but I can't get enough of this beautiful/kicky song and all their new stuff lately!

p.s. check out how Ben looks at Dan at 7:09..so serious/into the music..LOVE IT!

[martycollection]

This video makes one speechless, as there are many qualities that made me surrender to it's harmonic melodies.

[BLueEyeButterfly]

this song is one of their best live EVER. some seriously beautiful shit.

[eufhrex]

damn this song is really awesome... Very very moving...

[eufhrex]

One of my favourites from daniel... He's such authentic genuis and an all-heart artist... i love you daniel!!! Don't waste time on the negative comments if you're reading this... Hehe... Stay as amazing as you are...

this song is such a masterpiece as everyone else has said... i don't get tired of this song... haaayyy...

[babycodi05]

you can almost see dans ass *drools*

and bens legs are like woah!

[LoveDanielJohns]

why daniel johns?? why????huhuhu *sob*

[mariapia888]

loveeee this song! I can't stop watching this DVD!!!

[cottoncase]

this drives me nuts everytime i hear this song;

but what are the lyrics between 7:23 - 7:28

something like 'breathe out sing out' or something

its repeated a few times after then too.

its not in the lyrics in the album cover & its driving me nuts!

[johnmac1285]

Breathe life, Sing love??

Maybe?

[cottoncase]

something like that

i wish i knew!

[dirrx]

sounds more like "bring life" to me, but i don't really know

[silverlite74]

I thought it was "bring love. sing love"?

[cottoncase]

yeah something like that, if I ever meet him im asking!

[cottoncase]

!!!!!!!!

frottttttttthing i love it when he sings

'as long as you and i are together' as a high note

it literally had me in tears the first time

[smileyvirginia]

one of my favourt songs

[andrictheman]

Is he lip-synching? Something odd is going on around 6:50.

Still, outstanding song and performance.

[kidmush1]

the dubbing is off

[ihbnia]

When he says jewellery it's so beautiful.

[arkidpui]

masterpiece

[silverlite74]

Thanks Chaser180! What does he say at the end there? Is it "bring love, sing love". It's so beautiful!!

[liznmarky]

This is Amazing. Perfect.

[TommyMelbs]

Yeah, it's performances like this one that prove Daniel Johns is an amazing artist, well ahead of his contemporaries.

[christopherswhite6]

They rocked this song. It's got to be so hard with the melody changes to play live. Just plain beautiful. I love the new sound to Silverchair.

[nickeax]

This is one of my all time favorite numbers.

[hanacurekovic]

I don't think I've said this enough.... 6:48 people... 6:48... just listen..

[hanacurekovic]

but why does Paul mac always bop up and down lol.. looks funny

[nickeax]

He's getting into one of the best songs ever written.

[hanacurekovic]

totally agree... this is THE best song

[hanacurekovic]

i have to say, this is probably my fave song off their new album (after straight lines.. ofcourse).. its melodically beautiful :P sounds like something of a movie soundtrack

[brianpremo]

I agree, this is my favorite track off of Young Modern. It's a masterpiece.

[Sfcharm]

daniel's wearing calvin klein boxers *big smile*

[MrGreenLand]

This makes me think that I really should get off my arse and buy the DVD... Silverchair have been my favourite since I was 13 but this has revived my respect for them, Daniel in particular. I took for granted how awesome his vocal ability is live. What a performer! He really gets into his character when he's on stage. I'm so glad he's an Aussie. :D

[NeonMonsun]

also people saying he can't hit his vocal range as good as he use to is clearly blind just listen at 6:48 - 7:12

[sirnathan]

I don't think it is his range, most people just say that because they don't know what they're talking about. It is the rasp that he once had but doesn't anymore. But thats just growing up. Daniel would have an aneurism if he tried to belt out Learn to Hate nowadays. Great performance nonetheless.

[musikizevrything]

thank you for saying what I'm always trying to get across to people sirnathan..lol..and I completely agree...amazing performance and best song on YM...beautiful!!!

[clarkch]

Ok. I figured out about the rasp, I think (I do a *LOT* of Silverchair covers). DJ never learned how to "properly" sing until recently. Back in the day, he sang through his sternum. When you sing through your sternum, if you tighten up your chest, you create a raspy sound, which is cool and I got pretty addicted to doing that (singing "No Association" and stuff). But after a while it shreds your vocal chords. Singing from your diaphragm, which he does now, produces a cleaner sound and no rasp.

[sirnathan]

That actually makes a lot of sense, so thanks. I too, did a lot of Silverchair covers, but mostly from Frogstomp and Freakshow. Even with my original songs, I can't sing at 25 the same way I could at 15 and 16. Even if I'm not a Young Modern fan, I'm glad Daniel seems to be happy for once.

[NeonMonsun]

2:50 - 3:00 is cute, i absolutely love this song & i don't care what anyone has to say about it...

[deconstruct]

What is he saying from 7:23 to 7:29? I cant understand it, and it doesnt seem to be in the lyrics booklet.

Great performance btw!

[ablett23]

i think he says "bring them to life" but im not sure lol

[jonnydarko1]

get em like ya know ya did Daniel.

[theboysroom]

I listen to my favorite silverchair songs on my way to work every morning, (for the past 2 months at least) and i cant believe how freaking amazing he is! His voice in concert is just amazing! Brutally amazing!

[Slash1374]

beautiful...

[spikevillalba]

this is with Tuna in the Brine and Ana's Song the best of Silverchair. Keep on it

[rocknrollags]

I can't believe all this "new daniel sucks, I miss frogstomp" thing, the guy looks happy, but yeah, I honestly prefer their other albums, but, well, music is like that, it would be boring to have an album that sounds like their previois ones, I admire them because they always try new things, if they like what they do, that's what really matters, if you dont like young modern, dont buy it! that's what I did, I own all of their albums except that one, so what's the big deal?

[AndrewBate]

Need a MP3 of this!!

[SmoothYeti]

This is one of my favourite songs off Young Modern and I was quite worried incase they didn't do it well. I'm absolutely blew away, this is quite possibly the best live song I've ever seen them do. It's so beautifully done. God I love this amazing band.

[charleechair]

hold on to the jury ;6_)

ha nice

[chieforangutan]

isnt it jewellery?

[africkert]

I adore that little smile for the camera at 4:10. I love his humor.

[lucas0908]

great..but i prefer the sad and weird daniel of neon ballroom era...

[brightandsparkling]

I prefer the happy and weird Daniel we've had ever since.

[lucas0908]

u see...i want nobody to be sad but...unfortunelly, it seems to influence his music...wich is crappy nowadays(my opinion)

[brightandsparkling]

You're just not in the right placew for it. Me, I love the newer stuff for my "good" days, and the older stuff when I'm feeling angry or depressed. Fortunately I don't feel angry or depressed all the time, and I also have diverse musical tastes.

[lucas0908]

I also have diverse musical tastes...i only think daniel got wrong with Young Modern - Diorama and Neon Ballroom are 10000 times better... So you got depressed just to listening to music? What a sensitive girl you are!

[brightandsparkling]

I don't get depressed from listening to music. But when I am depressed I prefer angry, depressing music. When I'm happy I like happy music. I listen to Neon Ballroom when I want to wallow in my depression, Diorama when I'm trying to feel better, and Young Modern when I'm feeling good. That's why I love silverchair so much. They have music for my every mood.

[chieforangutan]

i reckon young modern is pretty similiar to diorama..its just more 'poppy'..

[lucas0908]

i hate Young Modern...just this..hahaha

[chieforangutan]

yeah, its good but in a different way. frogstomp was the best, man!

[johnmac1285]

speaking of weird daniel....his interview on Rove with the dissociatives! hahah funnier everytime "I consider myself more of the Beyonce" haha

[lucas0908]

yeah..and he giving tha candies to the crowd...awesome!hahah!!

[dysfunctional0213]

weve just got like...this folder thats entitled options, and within that folder thats entitled options are many options...continue

he was on something but ive never laughed so hard in my life

[emma7524]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[druhyzmysel]

wow i love it...pure genius

[melynqn]

[lollies91]

[msrysignals]

[jakajanew]

Masterpiece! They're beyond words! <3

[ericmellington]

This is one of my favorite silverchair songs! Really shows off Daniels arrangement abilities.

[viewthetube9]

love it, awesome. silverchair live are brilliant! Daniels voice is amazing, such range.

[maxarus]

This song is amazing and this live performance is fantastic. Clap clap clap!

[codeman4286]

Thank you! I've been meaning to upload this, but haven't gotten around to it. Finally a decent quality live version of this masterpiece!

[cgk1118]

WOW! Love this song!! They did such a fantastic job, but then they always do. Silverchair is the BEST live band!(and the best band around, period) Thanks for sharing :)

[africkert]

Oh My God- Thank you so much for posting this!! Ever since I got to hear a live verson of TTB last fall, I've been dying to find a decent live clip. This one is amazing!! Worth it to buy the DVD just for this one. I especially love the last minute and a half or so...such empotion! Such soaring notes! (sigh)

Thanks for making my day!

[Lala17]

that was fucking gorgeous.

they REALLY need to play a show in toronto...soon :(

but...paul mac needs to be given a swift kick in the ass. god.

[codeman4286]

C'mon. I think Paul's great...... took me a while to come around, but the man's contributed his fair share to silverchair's development.

[maxarus]

i think Paul Mac is the fourth member, and i'm proud of it. He rocks.

[johnmac1285]

Also they need to come to Hlaifax! haha And leave Paul alone, the guy's great!

[johnmac1285]

By Hlaifax i ment Halifax
