The Helio Sequence - Hallelujah

[buckshunneson]

I'm don't believe in the bible, but am open minded. This song is good though. Digging the ongoing beat.

[ratburn10000]

We all want answers anyway.

[thegoodkid33]

I'm still trying to find out how this band got past me.....however, better 4 years late than never!!Thank you Pandora

[Milarrful]

This song makes you breath again when you feel like you can't do it anymore

[WatterShades]

Pandora. lol

[odinmateria07a]

I heart this song :3

[nebbykoo]

Great band.

[darkthrone741]

hell yea hallelujah :DDDDDDDDDDDDD love this song and this band :DDDDD

[texjernigan]

I love the sweet spot of this song, 2:05 "We don't want answers anyway."

[texjernigan]

We don't want answers, anyway.  2:06

[chacoelephant]

this song is fucking sweet

[fana406]

it has been close to 5 years that i discovered this song. and to this day, it is the only song i never get tired of. i advertise it, champion it, and sincerely idolize it because it makes my dreary moments into a novel of great aspirations.

it is my quintessential to my sense of place.

[ScribbledSomething]

Instead of hail to the V, it should be hail to Pandora.

[ThisIsMrAwesome]

gives me cold chills EVERY time.... gotta love it!

[nodogg138]

this song kicks ass

[Hachiko070]

@MrSilentmelody13 why do you need likes on youtube for a real life choice?

[fuentcent]

music can speak to you on brainwaves that other forms of media cannot reach it is amazing how spiritual and powerful music can be...anyway THE ANNUNAKI ARE COMING!!!

[OshiLiNawa7]

I previously posted about this song, but I'm doing it again because it STILL remains one of my favorite finds on Pandora. It's such a hopeful, uplifting song. Love it! "How sad it was that we could not believe"..

[iMayfire]

iTunes Starfucker brought me here.

[chloesaysGO]

Anyone know some other songs like this? I ADORE this song!!!

♥

[Z3BR4Strike]

Have you ever had a song literally take your breath away? Thats what happened to me late one night when I had stumbled across this song. 1AM on some idle tuesday, in the midst of stressing out from college, family problems, and a broken heart this song began to play. It stole my breath, but replaced it all with a serene calm, a sense of happiness and wellbeing. A feeling that I will never forget. Music like this heals the soul.

[EinYeTi]

@Z3BR4Strike Pandora? hahaha

[noodle92993]

@Z3BR4Strike I felt that same exact feeling today...and it was while I was listening to Pandora...funny how some of us had the same experience that led up to this song

[StacksStark]

@Z3BR4Strike I was having an experience similar to yours and this song played on Pandora late one weekday (it may have even been a tuesday) I felt the same way once the song started to play... Amazing.. Music can really heal the soul and its amazing that the same song touched 2 different people in similar situations..

[buckshunneson]

@Z3BR4Strike try citizen cope sideways. That song is a little more poetic.

[mokawanis]

So glad I stumbled across this song. Absolutely love it.

[jelainegin]

I accidentally came across this in a 'free people' store and had to shazam it as soon as i heard it.

[jelainegin]

except jango sometimes does not know the artists you type in. a lot more often than pandora does. that's the only real problem though.

[bakerbrdz]

jango is better than pandora

[wrassling]

I also stumbled upon this song while on Pandora. Since than, it's become one of my favorite songs thus far, my second grand discovery on the site since it started playing Don Dilego's "Falling Into Space".

[littlemizpoet91]

i loooove the instrumental at the end. they kinda sound like modest mouse. once again, thsnk god for pandora <3

[ricockulous22]

This song changed my life.

[chisdenha]

i wish more of their songs were like this...most of them get boring after 10 seconds

[MrrANDOM34]

Sub Pop records, I salute you.

[Face2daEast]

4 people were looking for the church hymn

[JCopper11]

perfection

[letita92]

I love this song...

[Aryskarlet]

i wish the last part of the song never ended, make me fly so high!

[MakeupProductions101]

@chisdenha i actually like the fact that it goes on for so long. it's possibly my favorite part of the song...

[jdubs4201]

what r everyones favorite from helio... first song i ever heard was back to this which i really like.. i typed in rogue wave on last fm and this was one of the groups it gave me...

[TheAznsenzation]

@jdubs4201 favorite is Lately, but i heard hallelujah first so it's a close second

[chisdenha]

i wish the instrumental ending didnt drag out so long..the lyrics are amazing but it seems like it ends so fast

[iamtheoriginalstig]

@chisdenha Can you imagine sing those many lyrics for that long? He'd probably be glad for a nice break ;)

[Gamer420life]

@TheJBprodigy and everyone else. sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo

who wants to help me find him and kill him?

[cibcgs]

This song came on as I was listening to my Mutemath station. I mean... it was meant to be.

[teestrawberrie]

pandoraaaaa [m83 radio]

[ohrawrimafishy]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. peace, love, jesus. hallelujah <3

[ryan10394]

Is it "We all want answers anyway" or "we don't want answers anyway"? It's a bit hard to hear and I looked up the lyrics and some use don't and another one used "want". Kinda confused lol

[dbobersen]

@ryan10394 it's "we don't want answers anyway"

[TheJBprodigy]

This song is bland, meaningless and unoriginal. check my chan for ACTUAL GOOD music.. Justin has thrown down more hits in record time than any other artist alive, from his humble beginings to his present day status as the greatest musician of our day! IM A BIELIBER!!!

[Stratocaster821990]

@TheJBprodigy and a retard.

[ryan10394]

@TheJBprodigy Please tell me that was a joke.

[whitman3kids]

@TheJBprodigy umm excuse me? im pretty sure jb is the only man-woman singer that cries when he/she gets pegged with a waterbottle. oh wait, lady gaga haha

[whitman3kids]

@TheJBprodigy umm excuse me? im pretty sure jb is the only man-woman singer that cries when he/she gets pegged with a waterbottle. oh wait, lady gaga haha. and by the way why u hatin? go to some jb freak blog and share ur opinions there, nobody wants to hear ur hatinness.

[diegoRSOL]

i love this entire song!

[diegoRSOL]

yes thanks Pandora bow down! lol i was listening to Interpol radio station

.

[whitman3kids]

@diegoRSOL YES! pandora is amazing!!! i was listening to indie rock radio!!!

[MonsBadonicus]

ok I love this song, but the end it terrible and goes on WAY too long...

[badcatman99]

does anyone else here hear:

"we all said hallelujah, we don't want answers anyway"

[akamjballar]

Once again, thank you Pandora. :bowdown:

[tankian802]

@akamjballar So True Man Haha

[CouveTJ]

Best Helio Sequence song ever! Last 2 minutes are amazing. When the bass kicks in at 2:50 BOOM! ohh boy, you are on for the ride.

[zacjaz12]

i first heard of this song from a drew bezanson edit for those who dont know who that he is a pro bmxer and the song just flowed with tricks probably one of the best edits i have seen

[celticboyziggy1]

GOOD TUNES! i hope the next cd is as good as the first two peace&love

[pablo17851]

Thank you Pandora :)

[PianoScience]

This was in the iPad video!

[theholytapesk8r]

BOB SAGET!

[krysmar1]

@theholytapesk8r BOB SAGET!!!! x2

[cosmica999]

was fortunate enough to see these 2wice in a week opening for keane @Birmingham 02 and Dalby forest they are absolutley amazing , they deserve a massive signing! brilliant voice brilliant brilliant drummer and perfect to open for keane, looked forward to these as much as the headliner tbh..... cd on constant repeat. :D top top top guys ....

[ricockulous22]

lol i just found them on pandora too! what an amazing underrated band!

[Trail3rTrash3r]

Found this band on Pandora as well. I have not been able to stop listening to it over and over. Not only is it musically brilliant, but its message really gives me hope at where I'm at in my life. I bet the same goes for many people. So on every level, its a catchy, memorable, hopeful, powerful, and beautiful song. Additionally, the last two minutes serve as an amazing backdrop to which you get to reflect on the words that you just heard. In simple terms: Brilliant.

[OshiLiNawa7]

One of my favorite finds I've come across on Pandora!

[1crapusername]

awesome band

[sempercras]

HYPEMACHINE FTW.

[Laurenisadork]

I've seen The Helio Sequence live twice, they're amazing!

[uiop60]

I really like this band, heard them for the first time today.

[catastrophickayy]

the helio sequence is amazing! i absolutely love this song(:

[samkinkel]

I'm in love with this song, can't stop listening to it lol! :)

Found these guys on Pandora, love em!!!!

[gracilaneofficial]

I like Jango better but Pandora is okay. Mutemath is the bombbbb.

[melidel11]

Jango iz ok sorry Pandora iz better

[littlemissneens]

Amazing song. (:

[genevieve392002]

I love this song!!! These guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! How sad it was that we could not believe!!!!

[Kyuzo24]

Good vibes...

[quietthunder88]

Absolutely amazing YOUNG band consisting of ....2..... They make me feel young again. It's rare in this day and age to find a true "crossover" band. Rock, Alternative, and Country. Yes, I said Country!!! Listen to "Broken Afternoon" and "Shed your Love".....

[fruizm]

pandora lead me to the light my friend.

[melidel11]

Me too

[footbal82]

an absalute fucking amazing song

[Baked89]

mad tru..... i saw a flyer for them and decided to stop bye...... turned out to be the best concert i ever saw

[LordofBLTs]

Did anyone else catch them at Bumbershoot? This song blew me away, the whole show did but this in particular. I love me a stoner-filled night jam right after David Cross. What a show, man.

[lizzytheperson]

best song on the album, hands down

[ExquisiteVintage]

amazing band.

love love love this song.

[Grizzalizzam]

I agree with UFC4EVR

[oobiewoobie]

this reminds me of a combo of old modest mouse and a dash of sunny day real estate. not a rip off comparison, just a tip of the hat and a nod. we need more music like this.

[UFC4EVR]

Ok everyone breaking news...

you know how you stumble across awesome bands on accident sometimes?

this is officially the most historic stumble in the modern era....

[wldntknow]

same found em on an indie site

[VMKRose]

what site?

[wldntknow]

indierockcafe has a variety of music

[iveroon]

watched them tonight as an opener for KEANE, INCLUDING MAT KEARNEY! AWESOME BAND!

[AnnaIsCo0l]

i was there 2

[Blueberry488]

I was there 2! I love the helio sequence and keane!!

[Dasylvsta200]

I love how no one's heard of this band. It makes me feel like I have music of my very own :)

[NonConstat]

Considering this video alone has over 22 thousand views, it seems you have come to some unfounded conclusions

[Dasylvsta200]

No one I know knows about it.

[myhandisapokemon]

i know what you mean, my friend introduced me to them but other then that everyones like "what the hells a helio sequence?" but all the veiws means that a good chunk of the population actually knows what GOOD music is. thats pretty comforting, compared to everyone who likes all the mainstream crap out there.

[SmoothHourglass]

Not all mainsream music is bad, Modest Mouse is somewhat mainstream now.

[myhandisapokemon]

good point, i do like modest mouse...

[marmas58ink]

Then it's away from here!... and off to sample Modest Mouse

[SergeantUSA]

Makes me want to drive around and just chill...

[dannyboy11490]

Dude I found this band on the songza indie playlist and the more I keep listening to them the more I keep loving them. I love the way he sings and I love his lyrics, I love the constant non stop singing, like he takes a few break between his words and sentences, if you know what I mean. I love it! Oh and the drums are insane I love it when they explode

[thrillrock86]

Listening to music like this makes me realize why the radio stations and major labels suck.

[franchisepeat]

Hear hear!

[MYSOCKETS]

a stranger told me to listen to this. hehehe

[jinamuro]

the instrumental part towards the end is wonderful

[Dasylvsta200]

I know right?

[ExquisiteVintage]

I found the Helio Sequence

on the Shins friend list and randomly clicked it

and I loved it ever since <333

And I still do (:

[fallenflow000]

Man this song is so great, as soon as he starts singing I just get happy! 5 Stars.

[mahavishnu]

Ultra Pop songs should be just like this one.

This is so fuckin great!

[chelseakilla]

i love thi song<4

but i'm aways too caught up listening to the tactua song, to try and comprehend the lyrics :O

can someone tell me what this song is about?

[joepickard]

INTERNET ARGUMENT!

[sophiahsophiah]

lolllllllllllllls arent they fun to read :D

[scrappyfish]

amazing song!

[Iskid2astop]

Great song!

Sounds like a battle between the awe of the universe and reason. Humanity needs to find order, which needs someone to create the rules by which things are ordered, but we cannot see that Great Divine, so we don't know if He is really there.

Again, great song, thoughtful lyrics, nice music.

[chumpychacha]

Great song. We know, if we have faith. you don't get paid until you work. give him your faith (work) and you will get it (paid).

[enjoiskater096]

i luv this song and beleive in god and jesus so w/e

[Helena64]

Look folks it doesn't matter if you believe just enjoy the song, and if you don't like the song just say so andleave. There's no need to have a coniption because someone believes in Jesus and you don't.

[ultimate175gm]

I guess the only reason I make that comment is because I think the idea that faith is a crutch only is kind of a cliche. Though it may be based on actual persons it isn't based on the ideal person.

[Majelvey]

The lyrics show a man who is observing people of faith from a distance. He admires their contention in life (and everyone moved around with ease). Although, he realizes that their faith is only their way of not dealing with more important issues (We don't want answers anyway)

Afterall, accepting that their is a god that has everything planned and is taking care of everything is a lot easier than finding truths for yourself.

Just my opinion.

[ultimate175gm]

Just a brief insight. The idea that God 'has everything planned' is a method of solace. A belief to meditate on when enduring suffering. If you really want to see it to its extreme read the book of Job. Otherwise, yes you are right. You'll find various voices who actually accept faith exactly on your grounds. This is a surface level of faith. But if you look deeper you'll see that faith is suppose to inspire people to greater things not just mere apathy or negative repose.

[ultimate175gm]

Also, like I said faith isn't suppose to inspire us to apathetic repose. It is suppose to inspire us to something more, something beyond us that is understood as God as he is. But in general to what God has planned for us and our aspiring towards that good. In particular, it could mean working a 9 to 5 if that's your ability or it could mean joining the Christian Peacemaker Teams like my friend did out of college and serving three years in Iraq as a human shield and witness to war.

[cheesedip123]

so correct...love this

[mrsjamespotter210]

great song

[curryhobo]

Awesome song. I love this band.

[Crackhouts]

I love this song because it recognizes the power of a supernatural experience, but does not accept it based solely on emotion, i.e., "we all said hallelujah, we all want answers anyway."

[xAlekx]

cool story bro. i like it because it sounds good.

[thetinygangsta]

i think the lyrics are actually, "we *don't* want answers anyway. the song is about faith---faith by its very nature, doesn't seek answers. it trusts without answers or proof.

[Crackhouts]

Then why does it start with "Though we did not believe in God?" Are you suggesting the faith is in something else? That's not a rhetorical question. I'd like to know your thoughts.

[SelfRevolution37]

I believe in Jesus because he's real.

[Crackhouts]

Your confidence is admirable.

[jacobasr11]

i think it just means that the skies fell even though we wouldnt think it would happen. In the bible it says that the skies will fall and those that say the lords name will be saved.....if im correct

[ElectricDynamite6199]

@Crackhouts he says " we dont want answers anyway"

[Goatseeee]

@Crackhouts ? I'm pretty sure the lyrics are "We don't want answers anyway." If that's true, then you're liking the song for the exact opposite reason...

[caseycarsonaustin]

doesnt one of the guys in this band play for Modest Mouse occasionally?

[xAlekx]

the drummer played for modest mouse in good news for people who love bad news.

[SelfRevolution37]

One of them did a little stint as the drummer

[kevbabyy]

song truely changed me

[coolnick757]

these guys sound kinda like coldplay/built to spill

[dufus212121]

You fucking idiot. Don't every, EVER say that.

[xAlekx]

what the fuck are you talking about

[freakarikka]

great song <3 =]

[owencorgi]

Really great song - I listen to it all the time.

[gustokiluh]

i love this song

[brokenhouseofcards]

This song is amazing, but it makes me really sad. Actually, that's probably just me. Every song I listen to feels sad. I guess that's how everything is during a breakup.

[xxxXsieferXxxx]

Good song,there are some stupid listeners ^^^^

I think i speak for everyone when i say... I care a lot. Really do. yup.

[Harntfilms]

I wish i could favorite this song more than once.

[RoyAntoniMusic]

this song is amazing

[Gregory465]

balr cop

[muwenoproject]

es weniiisiimo este grupooo

[gratefulgarcia]

orgasm in my ears

[HorTyS]

@gratefulgarcia i'm sure it wasn't the first time... lol....

[max432156]

@gratefulgarcia  eargasms

[LifeGivesMeMelons]

@max432156 that's literally exactly how I told my friends how awesome this song is

[dufus212121]

I'd also tap that.
