i like how this guys use simple but catchy ideas and make them rhythmically interesting like in "Boy" and also how the violin and the cello adds an artistic essence and passion.
Though since this is not my style of music, it turns boring to me when hearing a couple of their songs in a row. But letting that apart, this band has a very interesting musical proposal to offer to the world of real music and to us the musicians.
@Neuronomy I got to hear them live.. ridiculous. I think the girls' vocal mics were off, though, unfortunately :( One of my friends got a copy of their album signed ^^
This track is definitely their BEST !!! What comes out of their musik is the quality of the melody+percussion+voice of singer. That band is definitely one of my fav in the genre with others like ''Vampire Weekend'', ''MGMT'' and such !!!
Saw them on Sunday in St. Louis. INCREDIBLE live band. This song is one of my favorites from the album, along with St Peter's Day Festival. All of them are beautiful (the songs and the people), and so sweet in person. I love this band <3
@ReluctantZer0 Ra Ra Riot - Ghost Under Rocks (Passion Pit Remix) im not a fan of remixs but this remix extends the opening and i could literally compare it to a extended "eargasm" its really good and well done...hope u enjoy
I saw one of the concerts where they opened for Death Cab, and as you said, they were great. I had never heard of them before, so i totally scored getting to see them and Death Cab for Cutie.
"Here you are, you are breathing life into ghost under rocks like notes found in pocket coats of your father's, lost and forgotten. Oh, oh, all your soaking wet dreams. You've spent them, you have gone and dreamt them dry. Now you ask your babies 'Why, why, why?' "
I dont know why someone neg'ed you for that... But yea.. The video isnt the best. But I also doubt Ra Ra Riot are the people with the most money for this stuff. But I dunno, I only recently heard about em :) But they rock.
rip john pike he died! the good die so fast and you dont take in the words for a second. This did not effect me but im sure he was a great guy and this is a serious tragedy
no u can see him playing drums in that back : ( but kinda sounds like it why is it when people drown the always put out a song before hand that sounds simmilar to their death.
...and V. W. continue to be an inferior band with annoying songs. Nothing has changed but the record sales. More perspective for you: I'm guessing Britney Spears still sells way more albums and draws way bigger crowds than V.W. Popular does not mean good.
Vampire Weekend is a totally superior band! they infuse so many different genres and don't follow the status quo. and their lyrics are amazing. I don't care if theyre popular or not. Who gives a shit.
Not ripping on you, just some constructive criticism: (1) you don't wanna be that guy who thinks that a band is better just because they're indie. nobody cares and it doesn't make you look cool. (2) status quo doesn't really work there...but i know what you're saying. Vampire Weekend is sweet and so is Ra Ra Riot and this song!! :)
The whole cd is really good. The best song is "dying is fine" which is on the ep which came out in 2007 and they have a video for and on there debut "the rhumb line" which came out in 2008. The 2008 version sounds way better. This video was kinda lame compared to "dying" video but I guess you gotta work with the money that youve got.
Only heard this song last week on 94.5FM first time and manage to remember the bands name. This song has that 'it' sound. Thankyou for posting , AWSOME MUSIC !
