  • sounds like an awesome time:)

    top commenters r idiots, people at festivals r tryna have a good time and be apart of the song

  • Only people that have never been to a music festival could complain about the people clapping and singing along. Anyone that's been in one (like Bonnaroo) knows what an amazing thing it is to join in with the band and another 100,000 people in the emotion of the song.

  • some funky junk got me here

  • Gears of war ♥♥♥♥

  • gears of war!!!!

  • Thumbs up if you're here for Gears of War!

  • @SeaNIzNotSiiK yeaaah!! hahahaha

  • @FALLOUTMOD4321 The reason they have this much ads is because Youtube has grown over these last few years and they need to improve their servers so they can fit more videos and also make their servers more stable. But I guess morons like you will never understand that.. :/

  • RIP ANTHONY AND BEN CARMINE, DOM SANTIAGO, KIM, AND ADAM FENIX

  • @LoGiK215 amen dom was marcus's brother and you forgot tia kaliko

  • @LoGiK215 you forgot to throw in a RIP General RAAM, the true locust leader. Not like scourge or the queen. Scourge could have been cool but he was too easy to fight

  • yea gears of war

  • sfsfs

  • gears of war

  • Comment removed

  • Strangely reminiscent of Echo and the Bunnymen.

  • this song is in like every movie ever

  • Fantastic

  • Everything is illuminated..♥

  • I have a video of this without the clapping lol. Love this band.

  • I cant even watch this. The people clapping should be shot.

  • brilliant!!!!!i wish to see them here in portugal!!!

  • he gots bugers on hes lips ewwwwwwww

  • The clapping isn't that bad

    but i get yalls point

  • This is the problem with conformity!

    "Hey look that persons clapping there hands together, wonder If I can do that'

    =(

  • Devotchka are simply amazing live 

  • The clappers aren't even clapping to the rhythm of the song.

  • Fuck those people.

  • Clappers are the devil.  Should have stopped singing and told them they could clap when they get a stage of their own.

  • is he drunk?

  • Bloody hell, why do idiots insist on ruining everything? more importantly why did they put up with it?

  • yea u really cant clap like that its annoying

  • Vai terminar como tiver que acabar. Dando "fim" as coisas. Tudo no seu lugar, nós no nosso.

  • j'adore je les aime toutes , de vrais musiciens !!!!!

  • he is off beat and tone

  • @killerman560 its probaly the acoustics and background noise or just the camera

  • I kinda agree that he isn't very good live. At this song at least. But that's because they aren't English so they don't have the accent

  • its funnyhow in the live version how he pronouces "already" properly in the chorus but in the recording its alr"a"dy

  • dame this song is dope

  • Check out my video for this song on my profile, hope you like it. Devotchka are awesome!

  • he sucks live

  • They aren't even singing along, they are YELLING it.

  • IT"S NOT A FREAKING CLAPPING SONG!

    song killers seriously....

  • the clapping is ridiculous, I thought Tennessee knew a thing or two about their music. Not in this case. Rednecks.

  • @IrishConrad you've never been to Bonnaroo before, have you? It is not just a music festival for the state of Tennessee. In fact, many states and cultures are represented there. Ignoramus.

  • Ugh, why would you put this on youtube?

  • Claping... Why?

  • why would you clap? good performance though

  • hahahaha idiot crowd

  • fit in well with GOW last day trailer, and whoever says it doesnt...wel doesnt quite understand it.

    and ya i totally agree clapping=crappy but i like the guitar!

  • The crowd does an injustice to the song by clapping.

  • me emociona tanto esta cancion

    gran cancionn!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Seminal stuff!

  • Great stuff!

  • genial......! amo esta cancion <3

  • I think everyone who asks why they the crowd had to ruin the song by clapping does not understand the musical festival this was performed at. Within a minute of getting out of your vehicle and setting up your tent people will walk into your camp trying to sell you any drug you can think of. Bonnaroo is partly about the music and partly about the drugs and about the crowd experience for most people. If you want a "better" version there's a live one in a concert hall I believe.

  • word

  • seriously why the fuck are the clapping, theyre killn this beautifu song

  • i think,they only love this song ; )

  • the crowd took a sad and beautiful song, and made it into a drunken party song...

  • Why did they have to clap? That screwed up the beautiful intro. And wow, I love the electric guitar in the chorus.

  • i love this song. i think its a battle cry sort of thing. cause it was on the gears of war 2 last day trailer wich was a really cool vid

  • are you serious?

  • it didn't have any shooting... it was this quiet, strong realization that they might never see the surface again, before they go in. it goes soo perfectly, i love it

  • @dylanmcdonald95 it really does match perfectly with the Gears theme, the whole last ditch effort to save the last vestiges of humanity and knowing that they are sacrificing themselves in the hopes that other's might live fit's well with the song

  • Shame GOW is a really shit game

  • yes i agree but it still so very good i need this one

  • Hard to enjoy the gentle beginning. I am glad I wasn't at Bonnaroo for this experience.

  • okay first of all great song, but for some reason when idiots come together to form an audience they come to the strange conclusion that they must clap...and sometimes thats okay but this is supposed to be a quiet strong song, and they ruin the mood, they quiet down but then theres still people wooing lol fuckin a.

  • ugh i cant believe i was there that year and didnt go to this show!

  • great songs. and great movie soundtrack for "little miss sunshine"

  • I don't think is the song to clap to this song should be played in an absolutely silent environment with a spotlight on the singer to capture the emotion. The clapping and singing along ruins it.

  • I have to agree

  • you are exactly right

  • agree!!!!

  • Yep, totally agreed

  • I have to Absolutely agree with you there, my find friend.

  • @Derangedminor I think it makes the artist feel better when everyone sings along and claps to their music. I mean I would feel special, and have you ever been to a show where everyone sings along? It feels great!

  • @Derangedminor i agree, i was absolutely dumbfounded that these people were doing this. so glad i wasn't there, absolute buzz killer!

  • @Derangedminor It's bonaroo, you don't act like a depressed weepy individual at bonaroo, not to mention life doesn't have to be sad, life should be one huge party.

  • just perfect ....

  • I'm still getting used to his voice. Will do... But people will still be getting used to their music in three decades.

  • Ive listened to some of his other stuff...I didnt like it but this song...God it is awesome!

  • this is one of those performances that is so amazing that the studio version barely captures the energy of the live version. amazing performance

  • This song is even more amazing live, if I can judge from this video. It's already so powerful on the studio recording, I didn't think it could get much more amazing, but then I watched this...

    What am I talking about? xD

  • i was at bonnaroo that year but had never heard of them so i didn't see them that really sucks i would love to have seen them

  • La música sorprendente, la voz estupenda. Una excelente canción!!!

    Love this song!!!

  • love how this song has something for everyone (represents something)

  • This song represents the inner knowing that we will all die. It is basically the summary of all life. However it can mead something different to anyone as totoms put it.

  • who can hate this song? it stands out from everthing i've ever heard, and it means something different for everyone

  • well said, for me it seems like he's talking about the journey of a martyr & the last verse would be talking about paadise.

  • wow love how it can get all heavy and grating at the chorus but that smooth, passionate vocals still get through

  • correction, i like to belive that this song is about a suicide mission, but no one wants to belive that it is. But, they already know how it will end :D

  • Comment removed

  • not me!!!!!!!!! like this song tho

  • im goin to bonnaroo this year!!!!!!

  • me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • he's Such a Lovely Thing :)

    <3

  • brilliant song!

  • This song is about the people who don't deserve lives. Like me.

  • huh? everyone deserve a life!!!

  • I think the songs about that when all is said and done, you can finally rest in peace.

  • ZOMG, WAS HE SMILING??

    i saw him two nights ago at the fillmore, it was great, but he looked bored a lot. :(

  • Which city was it?

  • Live at Bonnaroo - Manchester, TN

  • i know!! he's the epitome of old romanticism. it's lovely. he's a heart throb of sorts <3

  • i love devotchka!

  • there's such a sense of hopefullness yet inevitable failure written into this song

  • song is amazing! just moves you

  • we own!

  • lol

    yeah, just not at doing anything that requires you to have a semblance of rhythm

  • Comment removed

  • I got this song from "Little Miss Sunshine" not "Gears of War 2" which sounds like a good game never played it but I play Halo 3. Gamertag: EVANITO17

  • magic stuff

  • revolutionary.

  • cheers you lucky bastard.

  • he sounds amazing

  • If he was drunk, I'd wager it'd be because he's a bit of a depressed character. All good music comes from some 'intense' emotion, in my opinion, and since this is such a good song i'd say perhaps he's a very depressed individual... just a thought. Thumbs up ^_^

  • yea hes drunk off devodka lol

  • there pretty wawesome

  • love the song love the band amazing x

    and the fact of that they used it in gow2 trailer was fucking perfect x

  • yea

  • if i really like this song, what songs would you people recommend by DeVotcKa?

    thanks

  • great song, also like The Clockwise Witness

  • I'm loving all the musical elitists coming out of the wood-work with the age old claim "I liked them before you lot did" as is the problem with DeVotchKa fans and people who have seen this on the advert. Now personally, I enjoy music and this track is one of the best I've heard in quite awhile but funnily enough I discovered it through to GOW2 advert. Why is there such bitterness towards that? Just get on with supporting the band in your own way, irregardless to how others do

  • irregardless - not a word.

    good song though!

  • gears of war 2 song of trailer

  • WOOW Maaan im glaaaad that GoW chose this song , this game brought me to devotchka , a GREAAAT baand!!

  • im not gonna lie this sounds pretty bad but more talent then i can ever wish for

  • It makes me kind of angry that there are now a ton of people watching this just because of some crappy advert that doesn't even capture the meaning of the song. I mean, it's nice that they're getting some vague recognition, but dear god, please, not this way. Now there's just going to be a bunch of video game freaks who claim to be fans of DeVotchKa.

  • i dont have an xbox or the game, i love the trailer though just because of the song because i watch tv. yea its been used in an ad for the game, but how is hearing the song in the ad, looking for it, listening to other songs by the band and realising you like them any different to going to a friends house, hearing it, looking it up, listening to other songs by the band and realising you like em?

    you shouldnt be angry you should be glad that more people experience what you are and have been

  • i love you

  • i thought the same thing when i read the guy above then i looked at your reply and was like "I dont even need to say anything" :D

  • at least its exposure though. its how i heard it and then came on here to find it. i listen to a lot of different styles of music and when you get busy sometimes mainstream is a good way to at least get noticed and then people like me can come on here and see all that they have to offer. i can appreciate what your saying but i'm sure that the band is glad to just get out there to a new audience. pseudo fans will always exist regardless of how popular something gets.

  • I'm not sure why YOU would give a rats ass who listen's to what and why, Devotchka is tickled pink that people are listening no matter how they found out, their CD sales probably went through the roof due to the song being on a commercial, CAPTURE THE MEANING, you have to be kidding me, you would have to have the IQ of, well you, to not CAPTURE THE MEANING, and did YOU write the song yourself, maybe if you got laid now and again you wouldn't be so angry, your a sad little cookie

  • I say good job to whoever put it in that Gears of War spot, because they picked a great song by a great band that deserves to get more exposure. And if these "video game freaks" like this song, then kudos to them for having good tastes.

  • go away you fuck let people enjoy it regardless or where they heard it from. stfu pls

  • I dont like ur "video game freaks" label. You need to broaden your horizons, i play video games, but i knew of this and great music way before any trailer came on tv, so stop wanting to protect your liking of the band, just because u feel threatened by the "Freaks".

  • i'm a huge fan of devotchka. have been for a few years. it helps that i'm from their hometown of denver, co. and i couldn't be happier that tons a tons of people are finding them and liking them. who cares if it's due to a commercial or otherwise? i don't own gow2 but when i saw the commercial i was stoked that it was a devotchka song because i knew that people would be looking the song up and discovering that greatness that is devotchka.

    don't be a hater. =)

  • "awesome awesome awesome. oh and awesomeawesome." (if you listen to the audio of that it sounds like a little song!) but yeah, love this song, i need to see them live.

  • I kinda like the clapping.

  • the clapping is soooo annoying

  • copy and paste if gears of war 2 brought you here

  • STOP WITH THE FUCKING CLAPPIN!!!

  • HAHA that was the first thing that i said

  • The clapping is retarded.....it's a sad song people......about death......not some god damn rock song.

  • your an idiot. they're clapping for the artist and for the song. they're not going to stand there and cry because it's intended to be a "sad" song.

  • Hey genius, looks like I'm not the only one who thought the clapping was weak. Troll somewhere else.

  • i learned how to sing it the first time i heard it =D

  • copy and paste if gears of war 2 brought you here

  • copy and paste if gears of war 2 brought you here

  • Just listen to the music, it doesn't have to be about anything.

  • copy and paste if gears of war 2 brought you here

    .

    The GOW2 advert goes awesome combined with this totally epic tune....WOW

  • i was under the impression his music was used in the hit film "little miss sunshine" also this exact song was used in "everything is illuminated". so no I've not seen it on MTV as they only show few second clips of music between their reality shows.

  • Thanks for vid.

  • this song makes me wanna cry every time...

  • i agree with mikebonhomme people dont realize some things are better in life then money cars and cloths. I think the songs that are with gow gow2 are pretty good.

  • hey buddy mikebonhomme didnt make that song he just sang it

  • i first heard this through the GOW2 commercial, i guess the the makers of the GOW series just know good music cause they also introduced me to gary jules 'mad world'. but i totally agree with WesOrion. mtv is just pumping shitty music out these days, and a shitty outlook on life also, everythings about; money, cars, clothes, hoes, and gettin fucked up.

  • why the fuck are they clapping to this song ruins the whole thing fucken idiots

  • i always tear up when i sing songs im into like this one cant help it hehe

  • see the tear stream from his face 3:15

  • I don't blame him this song almost made me cry

  • its sweat.

  • WesOrion could not have put it any better. This is truly a talented artit I would not have heard of if it were'nt for that commercial. Well said WesOrion.
