    If I represent the one that did this to you Then can away the part that represents the thing that scarred you I say, Get up, stand up, get up, stand up, get on it Yessir, I am no longer who you thought this one would be We end up around the mountain that I climb to lose you I said, I said give me the business that business could work through, I say, Ask me but all my wisdom departed

  • the tune is awesome, the 'community arts' video clip is annoying and... manipulative

  • @artzest manipulative? I'm guessing if you described how that was manipulative we'd learn more about you than the video.

  • 2deep4me

  • Been looking for this song for what seems like forever! So glad I found it!

  • Roaring genius.

  • This is terrible.

  • @PsychadelicBananas "im not a hipster" most hipster thing to say ever. Good job trying to bring morals to youtube tho lmao

  • @eyeizboredonutube UNLESS the comment was guileless and honest. That does exist, you know. But then again there's always the jaded approach of yours. I think that might make you a......hipster!

  • omg! she's fuckin' awsome !!!!!!!!! x)

  • It seems like her voice would sound weird in normal conversation.

  • @helenatorr That was a girl???!!!???!! oh shit!

  • Comment removed

  • This video is proof that the US Educational system is failing and its all bc the TERRORIST ruined our economy an the TERRORIST made us go kill over a million ppl in Iraq......TERRORIST!

  • listen to The Dirty Projectors- Remade Horizons (2:37) for that same jumpy vocal sound!

  • visually pleasing to the eye.

  • @EquinoxGT 100% agree

  • they cant tell you what it's about but they will say it sucks....people these days...figuratively blowing their brains out..

  • Okay seriously, no one cares if you're black or a hipster or anything.

  • still undecided on the tune-yards. i will know after i see them live at bonnaroo this summer

  • videos haaaarrrrddd one of the best ive seen in a while

    but its the tune that makes it her voice is too much

  • sick tune

    sick vid

    makes me wann jump around and pull faces like theres loool

  • I saw this on rage a while ago, its such an awesome clip :)

  • Adele is being nominated for a grammy. People praise her for "not looking like a model like most artists believe they should"

    Merrill deserves it way more than Adele ever will.

  • @ThraxxNecro hey hipster. adele is a really good artist.

    u will say same bullshit abt merill when she becomes famous.

  • @ThraxxNecro True :)

  • 3:55 punch dance

  • The video slightly freaked me out, but the sound without question is amazing.

  • Video is too damn hipster, song is just right.

  • Yeah.  Video sucks. Song is great.

  • uuuuummm. well at least the song is good.

  • what the hell kind of school is this?

  • POOP. LOL!

  • Kimbra Brought Me Here.

  • @TheCuriosityMeetsCat me too:)

    

  • omg the clarinets

  • @kokorosyume i agree my tablet music consists with Florence an the machine, Oh land, sia, kimbra, gotye, and Lily Allen. And people are always asking "what are you listing two" or "you have no taste in music" or the most common one "your music is weird" and "why do you listen to white people music". it gets frustratraing and irratates the hell out of me.

  • honestly, best song of 2011. get with it people

  • 3:03

  • Flipping love this song!

  • i like this song!!! woot woot! my favorite(:

  • JUst gOOd MusiC !!!!

  • im a 4 yr old hamburger and i like this song. I just wish people would be more accepting and realize there's no 'hot dog' or 'burrito' music. it doesn't matter if you're a pizza, orange chicken, baklava...stop being so judgemental omg...im not a hipster god just be quiet and lisen to da tunes no matter the amount of carbs you have!!!

  • @PsychadelicBananas I totally agree, sir hamburger. I hope someone is keeping your properly moisturized.

  • @PsychadelicBananas lmao love the comment

  • @PsychadelicBananas That's an old ass hamburger. Eat that shit, you got food poisoning

  • @PsychadelicBananas this is the best truth!

  • @PsychadelicBananas come at me bro, i'm a taco and everybody here just listen to burritos :c

  • Just recently heard this band for the first time, so far I like. Nothing negative

  • Goodness... I really can't stand most people these days.

    STFU and enjoy the music. :/

  • @brhardi48326 racism comes in many forms.

  • @brhardi48326 You are painfully ignorant about culture and what rhythm is and the fact that you're using being a lesbian, even with a complete lack of knowledge about her personal life, as an insult is quite frankly disgusting. Good luck in life :)

  • soo surreal. i like fish unity

  • ActuallyThomas, a number of the school kids are African American. But why would anyone get mad anyway? All music cribs from other sources.

  • Offended. I like this song. I'm not white. I don't think being white has to do with music preference. Just like how I don't think being black requires someone to like hip-hop/r&b/rap etc. We are who we are. Black/white/purple/yellow/puke green. Our features do not define our personalities. Only people that were truly raised in ignorance can say "definitely stuff white people like."

    Also. My boyfriend is white. He hates this kind of music.

  • Wow, Cant beleive I was the first one to watch this video and I come back a couple months later and theres millions of veiws :P

  • @jackblaklover Strictly speaking, I think the first person to watch it was the director, perhaps simultaneously with the editor or editors as the case may be. Nice try, but I'm not convinced.

  • loool

  • adorei muito bom

  • I won't give away my skin pigmentation because I'm not a bleeding hearted liberal nor have I bought into the notion that skin coloring is important...but I really, really do not get this music at all. I find myself listening to it, though, because I keep thinking I'm going to hear something I can grasp musically. This music is a trip.

  • @VentraleStar

    Lol, what do you call the two or three black kids in the beginning of the video? :P

    @bhardi48326

    I'm Asian and white and I don't mind this stuff but I can't think of many white people that like this type of stuff. It's interesting yeah but it's obviously based off of African culture, and it's interpretive art so I guess it's whatever we make it right?

  • Pretty fresh, and unique, and not a single " Yo, mudduhfuhckuh!" to be heard in the whole song. The "definitely stuff white people like" comment says a lot about pop fans these days, doesn't it?

  • @thomasmoredamian You can't get mad considering there's not one african american in the video....

  • @VentraleStar i bet many of them are black. you just can't see it under the makeup...

  • Baby Merrill in this video is probably my favorite part. her little eyebrow arch is fab. 

  • woah. Her voice is just...powerful. Love this. really unique and innovative. A nice groove to it.

  • Kimbra sent me.

  • what did she do to these poor kids

  • degree in "studio art" from second rate new england liberal arts college

  • see what happens when you leae adults alone.. with paint!!

  • kimbra!!

  • I'm black, I found this on my own and decided that I liked it. Does that mean something? I don't think so... except maybe that I like good music.

  • if you look really closely you can see the little girl is lip syncing

  • @TheExpressionist1 Shs hella better at it than Lea Michelle and Ashley Simpson!

  • this song and video is fantastic. at least, this black hipster thinks so.

  • AMAZING.

  • i dont get it

  • @Stokkolm go play some warcraft sadact.

  • @DeftonesRATM1 'rich kids music' like fuck - yea, it cost me a shitload to look this up on youtube

  • tune yards pushing musical boundaries since 1940

    .....oh, why 1940 you say? chuck norris was born that year. in other words were all dinosaurs >:D rawr

  • kimbra brought me here.

  • i feel bad if the lead singer has kids. the kids will be douchey hipsters with terrible haircuts and no love life.

  • @coachellaismylife The fact that you are already thinking in such a future tense predisposes you to hipsterdom thus relusting in you being a hipster, which we only allow you to date women with atleast minimal hipster traits. When you finally marry one you will have children who have hipster traits (lol implying that opinions are transferable through genetics) and they will end up dating her children which will result in the ultimate hipster race being your grandchildren.

  • @McKenna24242 >you keep using that word

    >i don't think it means what you think it means

  • I'm a 15 year old black female and I like this song. I'm SO SICK of people pigeonholing eachother. SO WHAT if i like this song am i white now,a hipster or a rich person? No God, people are so small and closed-minded. Stop trying to put people down, do you feel better creating societal groups to 'rise above' its stupid and It makes you sound stupid. SO SHUT UP!

    now "good day" SMHA ( exasperated exhale)

  • @kokorosyume lol ur a hipster.

  • @kokorosyume omg im 15 yr old black male who likes this siong, WE HAVE SOO MUCH IN COMMON, lol jk

  • @kokorosyume nicely said.  :)

  • Me gusta el vídeo y la canción le va bien :P

  • This sucks sooo much!

  • Believe it or not my mom brought me here.

  • Absolute shite.... rich kids music... shove it! Good day to you all!

  • @DeftonesRATM1 lmao deftones and rage ahahahahha

  • @jaeastman Woah woah.. Say what you will about Deftones but leave Rage out. They're incredible.

  • @DeftonesRATM1 Keep your opinions to yourself, grouchypants. It's just a song.

  • @DeftonesRATM1 An unfaltering and resounding '2DEEP4U' to you, good sir.

  • hipstarrr muzic

  • Creative video

    

  • So legit.

  • increeeeeeedibly positive future song!!

  • beautifully awkward.

  • 272 people hate awkward situations.

  • I had no problem with it ideologically.

  • Im lost:/

  • what an awesome video, it screams dgaf

  • There is so much about this video that represents being able to do whatever the hell you feel like doing when you want to do it. Especially if you're an artist. If you want to make a ridiculous face, and dance around like a maniac, just do it.

  • @Blukuleleee Profound...

  • Dont understand why there is so many hate comments. I really liked this

  • This is more shit than the stuff that comes out of my ass, after using a powerful colon cleanser.

  • seem legit....

  • and here i thought the song was cool.

    even if the video is basic, it's still a great video.

    i actually thought it was gonna be nothing but those kids.

  • I love this song, but the video sucks.

  • @mikedps This is actually... a GREAT video. :/

  • This is different......

  • Such a great song!

  • que bosta escrota! fuckin hipsters

  • Comment removed

  • im at a loss of words =|

  • That a bloke at the front with shaved pits?

  • definitely stuff white people like

  • @brhardi48326 This shit is for people with IQs above 130...stay away

  • @brhardi48326 Lol a white chick showed me this.

  • @brhardi48326 If you're just going to dismiss this song like that, you're missing out on some great stuff.

  • @brhardi48326 you do realize she made this song based off African culture and style right?

  • @Thefreeprideparade brhardi48326's right and this videos evidence... white people like other cultures & styles. some call it culture vultures, I call it fun.

  • @brhardi48326 you need to grow up.

  • @brhardi48326 And that's a narrow minded view you need to keep to yourself.

  • @brhardi48326 thats such a retarded thing to say.

  • Grantland.

  • Hipster school?

  • akira akira akira tetsuo

  • @Aquaspleen

    Werd. This songs drumming reminds me of 'Kaneda's Theme' from the Akira soundtrack/movie. It's all good to me.

  • NINA SIMONE!!!!!!
