Devendra Banhart - Sight to Behold (Jools Holland)

[foxyrodriguez]

wasn't that impressed to be honest...can appreciate his talent but was bored

[tjmac7]

Mark Bolan?

[kisyawolf]

@tjmac7 mark nolan + charles manson = devendra

[Downer369]

Listening to this man has changed my life for the better. Love Love Love. ;}

[cinconcinco]

<3 <3 <3 pero si es perfecto <3

[baklazanbaklazan]

just perfect.

[KammaSitra]

Thank you, streeeenjie :-)

[scvdrums]

this is one of those few songs from this decade that gives me the chills when i listen to it

[okwooahh]

Devendra, take me away with you on your magic carpet please

[araphattv]

you guys are nuts comparing this to working class hero.. ya the chords are the same but so what? ever listen to all the doo wop riffs that have been rehashed millions of times in other songs? a chord is a chord. devendras melody and song was totally different.

[1Veetnisha]

Magic!

[jackboli]

beautiful

[billyhawkable]

Sounds like Tyrannosaurus Rex.

[redwhitch17]

reminds me of Jeff Buckley..i like it..

[wasky1]

cross between dylan and donovan, awesome.

[Erieskies]

love it would be much better, (i'm told) ..(i hope) ...(i know) .....what we all think. to ourselves

[biner01]

i think working class hero was a parody of dylan.. dylan ripped off so many artists.. wake up

[nicohellcat]

it reminds me of Jeff Buckley

[progreshred]

Hoy me desperté escuchando esta canción gracias a Oscar que la tocó con buen feeling y me hizo sentir cosas... que no sentía hace tiempo. Gracias mano

[alurasan]

maldito neohippie

[nrmantovani]

Devendra não perde sua identidade, apesar da mídia.

[rowlie123]

Where do i get one of them red hoodies from..cool as fuck

[ferdianeary92]

@rowlie123 haha i just realised. . it's a poncho lol

[donroberto85]

Stratch that, it's as soon as the guitar plays the similarities begin!!

[Draxzar]

@donroberto85 care to explain?

[donroberto85]

@Draxzar, happily listen to the 1st 8 bars of this, listen 2 the 1st bars of 'working class hero', compare and come back to comment with you misguided, ill-equipped comments...

[youlosesucka420]

@donroberto85 What you are hearing is not a direct rip-off. You are hearing an A minor chord being played with the 2nd fret of the D string being hammered on. The vocal melody that you claim is the same, is actually nothing alike. It is the opening guitar line, but as Devendra's song, stays on the A minor, Lennon's changes to a G major. Now listen, and come back to comment with your misguided, ill-equipped comments.

[donroberto85]

Just listen to that 1st vocal rhythm, its exactly the same as Lennon's

[whitestripebuzz]

So glad I can't sleep and happened to flick on BBC4.

[donroberto85]

As soon as you're born, they make you feel small!!!!!

[donroberto85]

Listening to this now on BBC4 and i'm disgusted. What a blatant rip-off of 'working class hero' by the late, very great John Lennon......

[peteralabaster]

@donroberto85 what? how??

[boppingelf]

like an early marc feld

[Aardvarked88]

@roryharkin Please don't compare this pretentious, over-indulgent cunt with Jeff Buckley.

[CrouchMaggot]

I was first introduced to Devendra Banhart after being shipped the wrong cd from amazon, thank you so much to whoever fucked up my order <3

[hardc0r3l0vey3ah]

Con este hombre si me volvia gay

[xxjsdjwjsd]

wot a load of crap

[Basparro]

wow.. His music makes me feel free

[MaximumProductionz]

Hmmm not sure seems slightly pretentious...but interesting stuff tho :)

[randorr]

Brilliant



[minna420]

A psychedelic minstrel? HELL FUCKING YES

[KingofFunk412]

How did I not know this guy existed until now?

[TehAWAL]

@KingofFunk412 i found out about him about 5 months ago go download his albums they are incredible

[RuudVanDrijver]

Lots of Marc Bolan influence here!



[MrScrewdriver96]

@RuudVanDrijver I totally agree! what with the warbly voice and the cross legged guitar position and all. As well as the musical influence of course! my first reaction to this bloke was that he was like a mix between Marc and Steve Peregrine Took! :) Glad somebody else noticed it too!

[angel54020]

my new favorite singer

[rockendesmadre]

Dear Devendra Banhart, I just wanted to say how cool and awesome you are. Also, you remain me of Ray Lamontagne. Great Talent!

[Dogface276]

This is music in a most soul touching form....

[sk8ermoose9]

What I would do just to have a deep conversation with this guy. Like seriously, that would be the COOLEST thing ever.

[6MickTravis9]

@sk8ermoose9 Jools Holland? He ain´t that cool.

[roddyread]

he knows we know the words before hearing the song.... plugging into some magic deep brain pattern nonsense. well done man!

[roddyread]

he knows we know the words before hearing the song.... plugging into some serious deep brain pattern nonsense. well done man

[cranie4]

He's like a blend of Ryan Adams and Jeff Buckley. This is my first time hearing him so that's my first impression.

[Jharodd]

@arenasification, man, are you sure that you've read my post right?

[arenasification]

beautiful :) 

[Jharodd]

This song is anything but boring for me

[arenasification]

@Jharodd then this kind of depth will never get to you.. I'm sure the stuff you listen to does not touch me on an emotional or intellectual level.. and if you don't care about this whole "touching your heart"/"getting you to think" thing then you are a superficial being :) which can be bliss sometimes... but I'm sure you are just a little boring... fyi I'm not insulting, just analyzing your post.

[redwhitch17]

I like his voice,,very unique indeed,,,,,,Thanks for the share S.O.A.

[thewhopinkfloyd]

I didn't know Little Red Riding Hood could play guitar...

[barneez1]

the hippie bullshit detector in my heart is not fooled. its at about 100% now. why would he play THIS song on a major tv show?

[Lapaga]

@barneez1 who says he is either a hippie or dont want to sell his music?. As far as I know, he have never metioned any of that. He only plays music that sound alike the music played by "hippie" bands in the 60s and 70s but nothing else

[barneez1]

@Lapaga well, i dont think an artist has to MENTION that they are making music in the hippie vein.just look and listen.have you ever heard of marc bolan of tyrannosaurus rex?he would perform exactly like this sitting indian style and banhardt has def ripped off alot from him.also, i wasnt implying he doesnt want to sell his music. i was wondering why he would play such a boring song on major tv.of course he wants to sell his music..

[barryj106]

what's the name of jools holland show? i really want to watch it online.

[NLaveryGB]

@barryj106 'Later with Jools Holland'

[MrSylvainlouis]

incroyable

[BrommaExpress]

I can't stand Jools introductions. They just put me off.

[dudewhyfi]

his second best moment..after fucking natalie portman

[bernadotte913]

hipster jesus

[MrBluePrick]

well that was shit

[aerlingus18]

sounds a bit like jeff buckley

[steve816100]

He looks like Animal from the muppets :)

[reinkaos82]

I put on my robe and wizard hat

[calwel]

gandalf the grey's earlier, more acid-influenced years

[jgeisler92]

@calwel Devendra the Red.

[zombiestars42]

@calwel hobbits pipe-weed was much stronger those days ;-)

[papapete5]

@calwel man that is such a great comment! my wife likes this guy, i still have my reservations..

[Kaspart1]

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡  Super very nice I like ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[myloversdream]

the juxtaposition of a stage and overhead lights with his carpet and candles is just hilarious.

[HowToCatchShadows]

@myloversdream Yeah, I thought so too. But I'd guess they're scented, or something.

[maddogguitars]

135 people think that the 'crazy frog' single was a creative masterpiece

[boppingelf]

yes i do

[ShitMyCatsOnFire]

Scary dirty hippy. Not impressed.

[aurinkotaika]

Devendra is so wonderful. I hope he comes to Finland!!!

[ThePhantomas79]

amazing

[slimturnpike]

the new charles manson

[PIHSROWREFICUL666]

@slimturnpike Lets hope not shall we...? And sorry, he's good an all, but does EVERYTHING he does have to be quite so pretentious?

[slimturnpike]

@PIHSROWREFICUL666 totally agree

[dovestones]

After that intro I thought I was gonna hear Working Class Hero...

[PeacyKat]

the first time I heared this sound (it was 06 or 07) I was totally high and out of my mind.. without being on drugs!!

[skabot0045]

What is that red thing he is wearing in this?

[AnotherGuitarHero]

@skabot0045 his squirrel camouflage

[skabot0045]

@AnotherGuitarHero Ahhhhh thanks man how did i not know?

[ConstantineRobbins]

130 people hate the human race.

[ConstantineRobbins]

@ConstantineRobbins Wait, do over: 130 have no sight to behold.

[dsquaredmlg]

that's one hairy hippy

[willo190]

I've returned to this to just say...EPIC

[metalhead2409]

This is actually amazing! Soooooooo ambient!

[NUKEM16]

justin beiber wrote this song for devendra when he was 11

[GirlGumBubble]

<3



[GirlGumBubble]

<3

[jonhavener]

for a moment i thought this was the end of Get Him to the Greek

[guttatogold]

@jonhavener That is hilarious---I thought the same. That is Aldous Snow.

[ZonyMashGroovyLady]

It is a sight to behold..

[IMB2U]

I've seen him sing other songs. I have to say, he's "overdose on whale shit and stick your cat up your ass" crazy but I can't hate him. He's too talented for that.

[ihatethepopos]

how about we pretend justin bieber doesnt exist and never mention him again

[TheFunkyfeelings]

@ihatethepopos how about not mentioning him? there's no point. its that simple...

[tatwspumunud]

@ihatethepopos who?

[mollers92]

@ihatethepopos I think everyone should thumb your comment down, just cos you're so right.

[TheFunkyfeelings]

@ihatethepopos Maybe you should start by Deleting Your Comment..

[musicisakey]

@ihatethepopos how about you blow me?

[fenixheidi]

@ihatethepopos

who is justin bieber? ^^

[0xXxPhoenixXx0]

this is not gojira...

[MrNoobonen]

Wonderful.

[SparkLeTonGue]

@aeroplano I love Antony Hegarty's voice :)

Hmmm I hear a similarity, that certain way the sing, I have no idea what the "technical" word for it is though but...I get ya ;)

[christos13cy]

hey hey?? whats happening? its the first time i really take a look in music videos comments and everybody is talking about a guy named justin fucking bieber..i searhed him on google and i have to say that he has a wonderful gay voice..

whoever try to defend artists like MORISSON, MARLEY ,HENDRIX e.t.c against this piece of shit named bieber he is also DUMB like biebers fans...stop it immedietly..GOOD MUSIC IS MUSIC, bad music is BULLSHIT

[TheDthDealer]

Holy shit with bbq sauce this song kicks ASS

[yellowlottus]

He's wonderful!

[lambonastickdead]

lol, i love justin beiber because he isn't a fucking cunt

[praterzen]

this song is just fucking good...i think...the others not much

[IRLPOKERBRAT13]

lol its the prince of partys

[kncklesandwich]

This guy is a dip shit

[XxxkenzaxxX]

Why is it that youtube comments have turned into a massive hate competition? Everyone's competing to see who will have the most hateful, witty (in a mean way) and smart ass comment, it's as if no one is concerned with the most important part of the video, whether it's the music or anything else.

[rrrrddddjjjj]

@XxxkenzaxxX i think wit is quite strong....you need intellegence for wit, and wit is normally funny :)

[XxxkenzaxxX]

@rrrrddddjjjj But when it's used on such a massive scale, it's just degrading and hurtful and inconsiderate... even when it's not used on a massive scale. It's just used too much. Also, because it's used on such a massive scale, people that try hard to be witty and just AREN'T are just being mean. Their comment has no use.

[Bhmthd]

I BOW DOWN TO THIS MAGICAL WIZARD!!!

[HonkIfYouLoveHonking]

Remember when people would write songs that sounded like songs? Not just strung together random sounds and words.

[Zebonka]

I'd rather watch Yoko than this guy. Then again, playing "I think I can see bits of his breakfast in his beard" is kind of fun.

[kurco11]

I like it

[dimebag690]

@PAULLONDEN is that a joke?

[MoshMcCabe]

kinda cocorosie, rodrigo i gabriella, bon ivor or nick drake. you can really lose yourself in it.

[certainromance24]

Of what year is this? 

[PAULLONDEN]

@certainromance24 The year Zero,when unlike today,beards were cool.

"Sing along" you ain't Tyrannosaurus Rex yet,Davey.

Shabob shebBye...

[HugoTheMonkey]

The moment I saw the hood and the candle I Lol'd

[MistaMojoRisin]

One of my favorites -Devendra's live performances- "It's the little head inside your little hold, and out spring some GOOSEBUMPS here" :D Sadly i can't rate this 5* any longer ;)

[stevieboy4]

the hood and candles are a little much....

[redsoxledzep]

@stevieboy4 It's Devendra, it's to be expected dude. Don't hate.

[blackenedZ06]

Jesus Christ!

[MyImaginedShip]

[skelatwig91]

Would you youtuber's shut the fuck up and just listen.

[jamecontent]

Jeff Buckley is in his body

[sasquatchtotem]

@jamecontent NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



[jamecontent]

@jamecontent and certainly not in yours - he would die twice

[Marley1293]

He speaks from that place in his soul , where all of us have our true home, the reminder of the sun.

[LaterzMcGhee]

there's nothing wrong with his music, it's brilliant infact

[sarahsns]

every song i go to everyones talking about justin beiber.

[johnduffywalker]

@sarahsns and youre one more

[Skwurlman]

@sarahsns And now you're joining those people. Great. I don't even want to see that name anymore.

[Prusko1991]

@sarahsns

so to what songs do you go to?^^

[radioheadfan993]

@sarahsns And the irony is that your comment is talking about him as well... :D

[edgrrr101]

@sarahsns that's the Bieber publicity machine subconciously implanting Bieberisms into your brain. They will even write seemingly negative comments about the Bieber knowing that the only thing you will remember is BIEBER BIEBER BIEBER!!!!! I myself will be recieving a decent payout for mentioning his holyness 6 times in this comment, anyway, must dash - i need to keep thinking up inane, tedious and tenuous ways to mention him on various wildlife videos.

[edgrrr101]

Those dolphins are so beautiful, every time I look in awe at their majesty I can't help but think how un-beautiful Justine Bieber is.

[JimmyPage97]

@sarahsns and with your help. This one does as well.

[musicisakey]

@sarahsns what?

[thebestpathetic]

@sarahsns What do you think you've just done?

[gabiiepheer]

@sarahsns

And so do you.

[markventresca]

[markventresca]

too hate hateful comments on this video :(. if you don't like it why just watch a video you do like, or is that crazy talk?

[ingkati]

Venezuela carajo!!!!

[kalebird]

Jeff Buckley lives!

[sasybee]

@kalebird i'd rather think of Tim Buckley, but i have to admit the son shares some of his father's talent

[kalebird]

@sasybee yes, as much as i wish it were true its obvious Jeff and Tim are much better than Devendra Banhart

[TheSchoolsux345]

@kalebird My name is Jeff and my little brothers name is TIM! Just puttin that out there js js!
