The message I got from the video reflects the lyrics, it's about someone with no self-esteem, who sees himself kind of like an abomination, being with someone he thinks is too good for him/her.
If you love someone, no matter their faults, you love them truly. The best you can hope for is for them to love you as much in return. That's what the official video represents for me.
Great song! A buddy and I got together and did a mashup of "Young Folks" and "Pumped up kicks". We'd love for you to check out our channel and give us some feedback! :D
my friend introduced me to this band by saying "dude, i saw this fucking weird ass video today" so he had me check it out...first thing i noticed was Kristen Bell ♥ :D and that creature thing...but i fell in love with this song as soon as i heard him sing. ever since then, i've been a fan of Yeasayer...that was about a week ago. xD
actually I take that back. I watched this video first and I was so utterly grossed out (thot it was a potato by the way) but then I just listened to it again without the video and I actually like the song the video distracts u from an actually good song.
I love love love the begining its so good. The video was kinda scary and it confused for a bit. But then I thought hey these bands are indie what can you expect?lol This what they do lol You gotta love the anyway haha
this is the only song from their new album i like as a whole. the other tracks have sections or ideas i like, but don't mesh very well. it just doesn't sound as well-traveled as the debut. i'm all for artistic growth, but it actually sounds more like regression here, a limited palette to paint with. and who mastered this cd with so much ear splitting compression? horrible.
@SCROTUMvalueMEAL I actually sort of have to agree with you in terms of the compression. Although in terms of musical growth I cannot. The band stated that they wanted this album to sound "clubby" so I believe it was a a conscious decision to stay confined to some amount of established musical genres.
@SWAC424 making a conscious decision to limit one's musical and instrumental range is still limited nonetheless. i realize my reply is a bit tardy, but i haven't been on youtube for a while.
@BabyVoiceVictoria i don't see how my juvenile username has any practical relevance to my education level. it takes a lot of brains to seem this dumb. and for future reference, the possessive form for "who" is "whose." you're welcome.
@SignSnatcher Yeah, I had to post this on my FaceBook instead of the other one, because you know how people are. I wanted them to listen to the music and not get all weird about the video.
@lagginswag today its the first time i see the video. but when i bought the record in spring, i told to a friend, while we were smoking pot "hey man, i wish i was in arizona, dancing with paint on my skin with horses all around me" haha

@lagginswag when i bought the record in spring, i told to a friend, while we were smoking pot and playing the record "hey man, i wish i was in arizona, dancing with paint on my skin with horses all around me"
@lagginswag when i first listened to this sing (stoned), I had the imaginations of a desert in northern america, too. I guess its due to the drums and singing up to 0:48, reminded me of native americans whatsoever, don´t even know why.
The drums sound like it has an "arena" style gloss over it in other words the cock rock drums aren't working for me for this. I'm a fan of the band but this is pretty fuckin boring in general.
