The Notwist - Pick Up the Phone

[MrGoldenstar85]

31 ppl don't have a phone

[D4VERD4NN]

Neon Golden ...

[Bequietanddeftones]

The Notwist and David Lynch ... what a great combo ...

[ayohwife]

Does anyone know who directed this video? I'd be curious to see more of their work...

[SudoMade]

@charliecross2 the same happened with me and the black keys' "thickfreakness" when I was visting the south end of Australia just after I graduated. An album that changed my life indescribably. Neon Golden, Thickfreakness & Cure for Pain. The best I've heard so far.

[MrOsterwelle]

geiler song!



[urbanlion100]

I've been through a similar situation has the one ilustrated on the clip...

[xevnoc]

This song is awesome. 8 years ago I arrived in Berlin with not a penny to my name. I got a job painting a furniture store... I had a 32mb mp3 player and this is one of the songs that was on it. I remember riding the sbahn every morning listening to this. Crazy blast from the past :) Thanks for the upload.

[stupid349]

this means so much to me. I don't even known how I feel when I listen to it, all i know is I cant stop listening.

[theinvisibleninja3]

the bear thing like, freaked me out in the beginning!

[carloslirais]

not bad... not bad...

[carbineautomatic]

it's too bad their songs aren't available without that electronic crap in the background

[Bequietanddeftones]

@carbineautomatic that electronic crap is one of that three notwist. in germany well known as "console" , just one man solo project, brother of the guitarist. they`d had a show in munich with two areas: one side of electric, the other one was that other notwist part ( bass & guitar)., great experience to choose the right side ...! But in the end ... NOTWIST is Indie & Electric ...

[mattspizzareview]

i dont know much New Order but this new band i found kinda reminds me of the notwist... search MACHINEFIEND

[DEoNE2190]

i'll pick up the phone, i'm waiting and my magic jack bill is getting any higher

[KrystaNalis]

Wait...I thought the Postal Service sang this song...

[BeNeath0]

lets get drunk... :(

[crackkillspuppies]

Its amazing how many great songs I didn't notice watching Veronica Mars the first time around that I notice now when I rewatch the episodes on dvd.

[iCpurplehippos]

Love the concept in this video! I hope they patch things up :(

[cevansroxy]

these guys sound like New Order..... and that's a VERY good thing.

[BlueAlx]

@cevansroxy They're so much better than New Order. New Order's lyrics are juvenile.

[EnDZYm3]

@BlueAlx

WHY THE FUCK ARE THE TWO EVEN BEING COMPARED

[PenOnly]

the start reminds me of strawberry fields by the beatles

[tjhghghjh]

@PenOnly youre right

[flytacos]

i love stumbling across things like this:D

[tocophonic]

25 people never pick up the phone when their beloved ones are calling.

[enlightenedaquarius]

Love the song, and the notwist. But this video has absolutely nothing to do with the song. Theres not even a phone in it!

[IndieKette]

@enlightenedaquarius metaphoric?!

[brutalhairdo]

@enlightenedaquarius Yeah I think everyone enjoys videos that are literal as fuck...

[enlightenedaquarius]

@brutalhairdo Bahahahaha! Fair enough. I just really imagined someone not picking up the phone over and over again when I hear this song. Or at least the little stuffed animal couldve had a phone. I dunno fine! hahaha thats true, Im just saying thats what I personally want.

[noddlequeen2010]

where can you buy this song? its not on itunes?

[Godlynessinate]

Can anyone tell me if Postal Service covered this song? It's damn amazing, and I've heard a version where it really sounds like Ben Gibbard's voice, I just can't be sure.

[dingutscal]

I want the bunny! :3

[samigraceday]

I want this bear!

[dingutscal]

@samigraceday I want the bunny! :3

[noddlequeen2010]

thumbs up if you love it in veronica mars

[mbphofan]

@noddlequeen2010 good one

[CHADandTracyLoveYou]

I really like this band. I found them written in my notepad. Reminds me of Her Space Holiday.

[Eyepiercings]

what would i be if music never existed?

[dingutscal]

just imagine yer own mirror image would come to live and start to sing... o_0 I would just jump outta the window...

[mbphofan]

@dingutscal drugs are bad....mmmKay??



[dingutscal]

@mbphofan then ye better stop consuming them.... ;-)

Das suche ich auch schon seit Jahren;-)suuuperschön;-*

[charliecross2]

I was on spring break five years ago, in a lovely random beach town. I was going through a lost phase when I went into a record shop and bought this album. Had no idea who the Notwist was, I just liked the cover. This album has so many good memories for me!

[KJ4EZJ]

Great video. What software did you use to make this?

[levi7435]

ha-ha...honeycomb floor....

[Frontstall]

[CizzuCizzu]

[Brianjp93]

@nothingsafe84 you. You're welcome for asking.  :)

[bassimgesicht]

[FreeRoadings]

So is the bear who had a fight with the bunny the same bear writing in the other house?

[Lilimecualtzin]

[Zeiramsy]

@mjohn5980 just came to that, no homo!

[yasminc1983]

Cool video clip :) SuperLIKE IT!!

[bahrsalic]

...das album des jahrzehnts,also der nuller jahre laut zündfunk.........

[MsDrummer345]

WTF

[doodlesonfire]

das ist so krass ... sowas muss man erstmal musikalisch schaffen ... also jetzt nciht nur das der gesang sehr gut ist auch das zusammenspiel der unterschiedlichen instrumente und ich rede nicht nur von dem lied fast alle von the notwist ... dazu kommen noch die lyrics ... so etwas . hört man selten ...

[miagizm]

Hamburger Schule auf Englisch!

[XelCatoX]

@miagizm

Blasphemie!

[basman2006]

sounds a lot ike Plaid. altough they are slower.

[ALIENNSEARCHOFLIFE]

Trippy beats, mellow singing, beautiful vibe, kinda melloncholy. What's not to like? I'd play this going to sleep just to feel my brain cells amuse themselves...

[sosdiemimose]

i just LOVE em <3<3

[shatchett0]

Cool tune. Not a fan of the video.

[SoulSlayerKyoshiro]

Awesome song

[boarderluki]

innovativ, orginell, modern!

[D4rk4lli4nce]

dieser song geht mitten ins herz <3

[farneedtospeed]

[2022nancy2202]

sisterjane.. my story is exactly the same as yours, triple j this morning! searched lyrics and found this incredible band.. crazy stuff!

[sisterjanet4]

Go JJJ! Exposing us all to fab mudis!!

[sisterjanet4]

They kind of remind me of Mew a little.

[sisterjanet4]

What's up you butt you nutter?

[sisterjanet4]

Great song! Heard it on the radio (JJJ) this morning, and they didn't back announce it, so I just searched for "pick up the phone" so glad I found it! These guys are great!

[Meloneneiscreme]

my cat loves this!

[gianka9574]

il grandioso brano....

[TheNofairytale]

if you like the notwist, try watching die absolute giganten, pretty cool german film

[0dontspeak]

0:01 -this reminds me of UP for some reason!

[limonmental]

La flasheo

[MRMILO57]

nice video, me like

[akatsukixprincess]

Love this song, its one of those you just lay in bed & stare @ the ceiling, thinking.

Atleast for me.

[thugly921]

I'm with you. Notwist is good for long drives as well.

[urbanlion100]

@akatsukixprincess after a nice spliff...i know....i like...yeah

[capperlapper]

@akatsukixprincess Couldn't agree more..

[sexycooljulesverne]

@akatsukixprincess faggot

[akatsukixprincess]

@sexycooljulesverne only half :)

[liekeistofjes]

@sexycooljulesverne what an useless comment

[doodlesonfire]

@akatsukixprincess true ...

[HerrPunkt]

one of the greatest songs of the notwist....

[xerg0n]

the whole album is genius

[TheMonstrrr]

my dad loves this

[TheBeanieweenie]

i'll tell ya , these kats help me out over the years ,hurt me helped me but ilove them so ............<3 .......05' was my year with them longest relationship i have ever had:0

[Ieatawkwardmoments]

I found the song Consequence by these guys from watching the movie Push. The Notwist is amazing.

[Niehde]

I found by Push too ! xD

[myorangejuice19]

no podría explicar la sensación que me provoca esta canción..

Genial.

[xChristina4477x]

Great song.

[opmk1ll3r]

agreed :D

[orgonray]

gänsehaut

[23discordians]

I am such an idiot! I have an old anticon sampler with a brilliant track on it by Alias ft. Markus Acher and I waited this long to find out who this guy is. I could have been listening to this brilliant band five years ago. And now I find out that they have collaborated with "Themselves", I have a lot of catching up to do but its gonna be fun.

[eliklib891983]

the beat is great...

[bullfinch66]

this song (and lots of your other ones too) have traveled many miles with me. i'm glad i've had your songs to sometimes be there, maybe sometimes especially, along the way...

[EnDZYm3]

I found out about these guys while I was on 4chan's /mu/ section. Everyone was talking about how cool they are.

I'm glad I decided to look for myself.

Notwist is teh kool.

[kaitgnarlesx]

computer nerd<3

[CanadaGradeEh]

Kind of weird thinking 4chan provided something more positive than negative in terms of morality, eh?

[EnDZYm3]

Well, it depends on where you go really. I stay away from /b/, they're assholes. I stay in /x/ /mu/ and /v/.

/mu/ is the kick ass music section.

[dasty333]

very nice

[roach1409]

the notwist for ever + xD

[valfil]

all time fav.

[Mrsseli17]

love this song

[Priceless21]

Their sound reminds me of Postal Service... another great band!

[maplesk8]

i love this song!!!

me encanta!!

[bruceaisher]

Fantastic song with a brilliant video. From a great album :)

[sercas123]

[lifeforcenrg]

[dragonsteincole]

I've not heard this band, and this song in particular, for over 4 years... listening to it again, it's just as great as I remember it.

[melrbrown27]

awesome beats in this song; well just about all their songs have a unique style of beats.

[jinnhurr]

its impossible to hate the notwist.

like, seriously.

[postpunkoholic]

that's me!....always alone!......this song is real!

[dottorkillex]

Pretty video, romantic and gloomy...one of my favourites...

[ajp111891]

whoa.

[mRN0611]

Pretty cool song.

Kinda sounds a bit like Radiohead in my opinion - which is awesome ;)

[A1R5N1P3R]

German bands rock !

[Poll4Life]

[mathias800]

Yes! Thats the name of the song.

I love it!!

[geekymacgeek]

great song. But why is he writing letters when the song is called ' pick up the phone ' ?

[sephirothich]

cuz she dont want pick up the phone so he writing letters to her and saying : Pick up the phone bitch" and when she see that she will pick up the phone ^^ lolololo

[treespiritlove]

because she's not picking up the phone...so he's writing a letter...?

weltbeste Band!! das Beste was die deutsche Musikszene zu bieten hat. Ich weiß garnicht, was hier manche Leute fü
