Warpaint: Billie Holiday

[TheGentlemansShadow]

For a split second I thought that was David Grohl behind them.

Foo Fighters/Warpaint collaboration? This must happen.

[jjavixx]

Need to learn how to tune those strings together

[greendaddy101]

nice song, but why name yourself warpaint?...your not even native

[LemonHazeee]

What an harmonious song, makes me smile all the time... And this lyrics, so much truthful.

[Maria198ify]

[Tomnedreb]

I like this version better than the one on the ep!

[davi9pun3]

i love the voice of emely kokal !!!!! i love this woman !!!!!

[sitibeano]

Words can't define the way they perform, they're so beautiful, an actually are so talented and so passionate about music. I'm not even trying to sound cheesy, but this is so beautifully put, it's so simple yet so stunning. I could sit to this and just cry.

[AcousticFelipe]

I want them so much to do a song with "The XX" !!!

[Gnabepro]

@AcousticFelipe please god no

[eyrewalk]

@AcousticFelipe Oh my flipping god YES.

[JointSkate]

@AcousticFelipe i thought they were the opening act for them. but i totally agree (:

[SoundsBetterLive]

[mariah814]

[cisnerosc01]

[giannadijulio]

I LOVE THE BACK UP VOICE OF THE GUITARRIST

[ociolife]

WE ARE! birds of a feather

WE ARE! birds of a feather

I thought that they would forget that part

[Crazym0j0]

naize

[il806]

I dig the vibe. Setting was perfect

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

I'm not sure what I like more - the song, Theresa's beautiful face, or the guy's spectacular moustache.

[alwiser]

@AirWaterLandBuffalo haha, that guy DOES have an awesome moustache.

[batidodevomito]

@AirWaterLandBuffalo Emily's beautiful face

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

@batidodevomito No, Theresa's. :p

[killermonkeyye]

@AirWaterLandBuffalo its a girl u bastard

[PlaystationNetworked]

They can spell Billie Holiday congratulations

[MrVodkaAnyone]

I don't think that this is Warpaint playing, they aren't smoking a joint in the video.

[suhijo]

im gonna see them this october 1rst !! yeah !

[berlineczka]

reminds me a bit of Cat Power

[starbellygrrl]

@berlineczka i can see that.....cat powers woulda been sadder tho..somehow....i love her. i ve seen her twice once before she got sober like 8 years ago..n then recently shitza what a difference..

[danielawar]

on the last chorus when theresa sings "if she wants to go", and jenny sings " b.i.l.l.i.e h.o.l.i.d.a.y" what says emily? i always try to know what she's singing when im listening Billie holiday but i can't understand :(

[starbellygrrl]

@danielawar its hard...but i thinks its something like, he and i will sit on your front porch.and we need to take us something something theresa is too loud..eff it i tried like 40 times i was wondering the same thing..anybody else?!!

[danielawar]

@starbellygrrl When they play billie live, emily always sing that part, but i can't understand i really want to know

[VivaDaveGrohl]

Best band I saw at Leeds '11, without a doubt.

[frozentobacco]

Saw them live on Tuesday. Blew my mind. Thanks to warpaint my life is now 90% better.

[tiphicups]

give me chills. love these girls!!!



[ThatVirtualGuy]

Field Day

[joaobrum94]

john frusciante brought me here

[leofla]

what the fuck like...23 deaf and blind people???

[vaedjan]

@leofla a mystery they actually found the button, prob alot of blind people random clicking and missing the other button

[soundescape75]

Woodwoodize, thanks so much for that explanation. Makes sense. :)) I feel a better now.

[goodymadill]

this band just keeps getting better n better i love them soo much.

dude, the reason they aren't as known is because there is to many lame ass followers listening to little wayne n drake. not any of the mainstream shit could compare to warpaint(:...EVER.

[soundescape75]

I love this song but does anyone know why they call it BILLIE HOLIDAY when the song is taken from the Song called 'my guy' by Mary Wells, a famous motown singer?????

[woodwoodize]

@soundescape75 i heard somewhere that it's because of the turbulent love life of billie holiday. apparently she tended to fall quite hard for the wrong sort of guy, or something like that, and it's just a reference to how billie holiday's love life is similar to what they sing about here.

[kandi4kandi]

I saw them last night in Sydney Australia, they said 'This song is about a heroin addict' right before they performed this. Gorgeous song.

[slugoffice]

@kandi4kandi singer used to go out with John F... recon it might be to do with that?? could be anyone i suppose

[kandi4kandi]

@slugoffice Could be, could also be referring to Billie Holidays drug addiction?

[Gillettecavalcade]

Further proof that most musicians are skint, ......ripped jumpers.

You gotta be Susan Boyle or Justin Biever to make a buck these days.

[jaker778]

Dave Grohl in the joy division

[maxapotamus]

Is that guitar wearing a tux?

[Nikolai75RM]

this is a really beautiful song, sung by beautiful young women

[Nikolai75RM]

this is a really beautiful song. sung by beautiful young woman.

[karloflr]

i like this one, to natural, and the voices means more than the lyric

[VoVoDarling8]

saw and met them in Austin, Texas... they were amazing live and super nice. One of my favorite bands for sure :)

[IDontWantToEverDie]

those are some sexy guitars.

[MightyMartel]

This is a good song but it really doesn't tap into the raw energy that Billie Holiday had. It just doesn't make me think of her at all. Only the name. I know they aren't trying to channel her or anything but I just wished that if someone would use her name they would do it with justice or just get lucky enough to arouse some kind of nostalgia for me. Sorry for the rant. I like these girls, but Billie Holiday is one of my favorite singers ever. No one can match her.

[MisterDog228]

it looks like 3 singing witches .. lol

[Daeman13169]

She needs a new jumper...



[langeroony35]

looks like you got a marty schwartz boost for this vid.

MARTY ROCKS

[RcUniverseGuy]

why the hell did marty do this song... cant tell me there were requests for this...

[D0NRICKLES]

@MissinglNo I think you've been Misinformed, Billie Holiday was not a group.

[TheVibezilla]

thanks marty!

[browness54]

hah did anyone else notice Keith Stone in the background around 2:14?

[Spendleton123]

@browness54 HAHAHAHA!!!

[TheSmedleys]

Haha I thought it was a song by Billie Holliday called Warpaint! I never heard sing that :-)

[Monscent]

@TheSmedleys Me too :) This is a nice song tho!

[frr3esq]

i bet the umbrella guys name is billie holiday :p

[MissingINo]

@frr3esq I'm not sure if they just made up a character for the song, but Billie Holiday was a 1930's jazz group.

[fearlessftw]

@frr3esq Google the name please, Billie was a famous female singer

[MissingINo]

Hell yeah, Joy Division shirt.

[skttls360]

amazing i loved it. :)

[happylarry]

lol to be honest I only came here cus I thought the song was by Billie Holiday. But weren't bad at all

[paintedd]

Marty!

[TheSmedleys]

@paintedd Yeah, I came here from Marty too !

[ahygy]

ahygy like this. AHYGYGYGYGY

[jmartin28]

5:46 umbrella guy wishes he had learned to play guitar...

[xbbchocolatex]

omg how come i havent heard of this song and i hope i can get it on iitunes

[xbbchocolatex]

i wish i was in warpaint :(

and are they are 4 peiece or 3?

[jmartin28]

@xbbchocolatex 4 piece. This video does not feature the drummer Stella.

[LostTransation]

@jmartin28 the "umbrella guy" is the drummer at the time

[jmartin28]

@LostTransation Oh really? I did not know that. He just looks like an umbrella guy. ;)

[MrJimthetim67]

this song is fucking bliss,i cant stop it on my ipod repeat, repeat,love warpaint.i am a big doors fan,but this band are fuckin amazin.

[superstarshambles]

I have donated a good few views to this video. I don't even know why this version is better than others. Mary Wells, The Supremes, Warpaint, it's all the same <3

[blackandwhitevolume]

didnt think this could get any better then i saw the joy divison tee on the fella in the back ground, so good

[srff24]

I absolutely love this song ! :) it calms me dowm...

And the video is so...genuine...amazing :)

[mistikalnawe]

yea. big up the guy with the umbrella. safe.

[bumbandit007]

That's a serious mustache

[mistikalnawe]

@bumbandit007 LMAO

[cowmoo53]

gaaaaahhh love. in love gah!!

[CageyPea]

Sublime and lovely! It shouldn't work -- their guitars are not in tune with each other, their voices aren't strong, and Jenny I would in a heartbeat drive 1.5 yrs into the past to lend you my acoustic bass gtr -- but damn if none of that matters and it comes out just wonderful no less. Now if we could only digitally remove Derek Smalls in the background there...

[lozzerooney]

4:22

[daisydee123]

thss is the most beautiful song on earth, bar stars. i wonder why this is the only song jenny lends vocals to though, i'd like to hear what her voice sounds like...

[soridosuneku]

@daisydee123 Here, type in this video title: Dirty Laundry TV present Warpaint @ FYF

Jenny talks quite a bit in this video at some point.

[daisydee123]

@soridosuneku ah cheers man. i also mean i'd like to her what her singing vocal chords are like too.but i shall check that vid out!

[soridosuneku]

@daisydee123 Oh okay. Well, I've only found her singing for seconds in another interview, and she sounds a lot like she talks. She actually adds long "ooh" sounds to some other songs, but mainly sounds like how she does in that video.

[alanhughes23o]

Wonderful harmonies, love this band!

[rpetriniful]

is that dave grohl???

[RazorF157]

@thalidomidechild That isn't Dave, pal. Don't pass go. Don't collect 200 dollars. Better luck next time

[mizzcassyandra]

EUGH THIS SONG WILL NEVER GET OLD SO GOOD

[mizzcassyandra]

[Naturality]

Ooh, a Kay Note with the maple fretboard. Gorgeous.

[charlesfinnie]

[JunoNH]

hipster fags. linked here against my will by a vagina carrying hitman.

[daveg4ce]

@JunoNH Whos a clever dick then

[musicgetsmehigh1989]

my favorite part was 4:23 when dave grohl smiled at the camera!

[MyFavouriteShop]

Spelling never sounded so beautiful. Just wish my school teachers taught me to spell this way.

[mikeymoxon]

what's davie grohl doing there?

[0879711822]

Jenny forgets the words, but whatever, I still came.

[McfarJimmy]

That truck at the beginning has HORRIBLE brakes...

[skajam66]

@nikosioannidis - kind of a modern fusion of "my man"....

I think you mean "My Guy" - Mary Wells 1969

[oskar122010]

@skajam66 No he doesn't! He was referencing the classic, haunting Billie Holiday track 'My Man'.

[cobaltbluehue]

so harmonic

[shottelhxc]

Amazing.

[chicwolfgirl]

[Hansemannen95]
