ROSTAM - Wood (OFFICIAL LYRICS VIDEO)

[MrDonason]

this song is the perfect song to wake up too its just so great and fills you with joy and enthusiasm to start your day..

[siyen7]

Vampire Weekend is alright but this songs off the chart. Inspiring!

[rajivk91]

This guy knows what he's doing.

[GGanzolo]

 PERFECT!

[jcramirez91]

Anyone else notice that the background changes?

[gr8salil]

This sounds exactly like classic bollywood music

[4thnGoalVideo]

George Harrison would like this.

[Combo872]

@4thnGoalVideo

too right, mate!

[bellabou1]

@4thnGoalVideo today was his birthday:)

[PoetiqueElectronique]

Gorgious!



[garfreeek]

i think there isn't an interview out there where ezra hasn't also said something about rostam's awesomeness, ik was so bad i thought rostam did everything and ezra only sang the songs!

So please don't act like yoko ono's here, i believe that's still uncalled for ^_^

[Bonesoda]

I always felt that rostam got not as much recognition as he deserved in VW... I am glad he is working on his stuff so he can get the exposure he deserves. Keep up the good work my friend. Most don't know that VW's success and melody, production and other factors were all because of rostam. Hope to hear many good tunes from you.

p.s sounds a bit like D Byrne. :)

[Neb90]

This is really nice. Thank you :)

[Infanity23]

The (new) boss

[ROoooo80]

[lisoune73]

[glueyporchtreatments]

I'd never really cared for Vampire Weekend but may have fallen in love with this.

[JazSmithPresentation]

I love this, reminds me of the Darjeeling Limited ....

[nuckinfuts24]

this is the singer from vampire weekend

[Burton82190]

@nuckinfuts24 This is one of the backing singers from Vampire Weekend... Ezra is the lead singer of VW. Rostam does write some of the songs for VW though.

[speranza91986]

@Burton82190 He's a the joint songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist in Vampire Weekend. I think "backing singer" is a bit of an understatement.

[Burton82190]

@speranza91986 Sorry I didn't put down every credit from the CD booklet... The pont I was trying to get across is that Ezra is the one that people think of when they think of Vampire Weekend's singer, not Rostam. Trust me I think Rostam is far and above the most talented out of He, Ezra, Chris and Chris. If you want more of Rostam as a main vocalist check out Discovery, but even there it's more Wes than him...

[blkshelbygt]

Well it's about time you started incorporating Eastern instruments. I always knew you eventually would. This sounds so magical and uplifting. Please do more pieces like this and release an album! I would love to see you do a solo show in SF. I've been a fan of yours ever since I saw VW open up for The Shout Out Louds during Summer 2007! Saw you guys walking around the crowd. Wanted to approach you, but was too shy. It would be nice if you guys could casually do that again. -Meena :)

[SuperIzzy04]

this is what music should always feel like!

[bnrocks182]

So beautiful with a wonderful ethnic feel to it.  My mother thought I was listening to ghazals! Haha

[TheGreenteawithmilk]

this reminds me of fiddler on the roof. epic reference!!!!!!

[Bahiyyih82]

Holy molars, Batman! This song is groovy!

<3 :)

[junglcherry]

More!

[jmn31jmn]

[TheGreenteawithmilk]

[krupamic]

@jmn31jmn try searching on stereogum

[Aaronbe83]

Seriously how does this have less hits than half the cat videos on here. This song is addicting... Beautiful Rostam.

[Anticfairy]

I'm so glad I found this!

And I feel sorry for everyone who hasn't, seriously.

Thanks for sharing! :)

[elise3sings]

Does anybody know any songs that have similar elements with insturmentals? Yes, there is Vampire Weekend, but anything else?!! I love this too much!

[likethewater]

[monsterdrink99]

I've never felt a better vibe listening to this song. It's brilliant, Rostam.

[TheExplodingPanda]

This makes me love life.

[TheWilarseny]

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one who's noticed that this guy's last name starts with "Batman".

[humatech]

APPLAUSE!

[MikeyPLauren]

This Sounds A Little Like George Harrison ? Hare Krishna!

[morskijoe]

Can someone answer for me? I had no idea Rostam sang in Dicovery. What does Ra Ra Riot do in the band?

[broboy92]

@morskijoe The lead singer of Ra Ra Riot, Wes Miles, is the other half of Discovery.

[morskijoe]

@broboy92 What does Wes Miles do in the band?

[broboy92]

@morskijoe I know for sure he does vocals. I'm not entirely sure about what else he does. :)

[kana010]

[Musicasaurus]
