The Antlers - Two

[bigblakblob2]

I didn't realize this song was 6 minutes until about the 30th repeat... The only people who could have disliked this are those who burst into tears and didn't want to accept that fact.

[MrLeeKnees]

I've never cried to music before, until I listened to this album, now I can't stop :'(

[didugetmytext]

When I was younger and my mom would let me listen to her ipod I would only play this song, I was too young to understand it. But now that I listen to it again I realize how beautiful this song truly is and how clueless that little girl listening to the song was.

[RocknRolla1967]

I do not totally understand what the song is about but it's trully amazing and sad.

[hollaback61694]

"there was nothing that i could do to save you, the choirs gonna sing and this thing is gonna kill you" so eerily powerful.

[tesssssabadamooooo]

The Antlers albums should come with a box of tissues. I'm sobbing.

[lessthan3dinosaur]

holy shit

[247dancerfreak]

Oh... my... god. Epic goosebumps. One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs in the history of ever. EVER.

[DrIcemanx77]

One of the saddest, but most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[chardbres]

@NuggetNationMember Two-Headed Boy? Oh Comely?

[iwakeat3am]

not my thing

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

[itstechniyo]

oh god this was so beautiful live.

[birdshapes]

[birdshapes]

@Lizzy8997 im fuckin gay

[DJbrownmagic]

@Lizzy8997 calm down big guy he was just making a statement

[Lizzy8997]

@DJbrownmagic I wasnt freaking out or anything, I was commenting him back saying he doesnt have to be ashamed of it...by the way I'm a girl

[DJbrownmagic]

@Lizzy8997 haha ok and sorry should've looked at your name, never met a guy named Lizzy anyways

[Lizzy8997]

@DJbrownmagic haha its cool ;) Sorry about my comment, should have made it more clear before I posted.

[DJbrownmagic]

@Lizzy8997 lets be best friends lol

[DJbrownmagic]

@DJbrownmagic totally just kidding. kinda sounded creepy

[ouzairhafeez]

@birdshapes : Why??

[xAT4]

Nicole's gay.

[alohasprinting]

Best written song, ever.

[istealhotelsoap]

I'm trying to decide whether the beginning is played on a mandolin, uke, electric guitar, or some extremely trebly acoustic.

[xZak777x]

@istealhotelsoap I could be mistaken, but I remember reading an interview that said that there was banjo in the album. It didn't specifically mention which song, but I'm thinking that it's this one.

[istealhotelsoap]

@xZak777x I almost thought that they had mic'ed a physical electric guitar. Banjo sounds consistent with the high end that they're getting. perhaps!

[xZak777x]

@istealhotelsoap It sounds right to me! Apparently it's a "bowed banjo" according to the sources I've read so far, and I couldn't hear it in any other songs.

[istealhotelsoap]

@xZak777x Hm. I don't think they bowed it because that means they used a violin bow to create a sustain effect that wouldn't be this. Bowed banjo just means they used a bow on a regular banjo to create a harsh violin-like effect. I could see this being a banjo track, however.

[xZak777x]

@istealhotelsoap Ah, I see. Well now I know :D. And yeah it sounded right in my head when I listened to it because I couldn't quite put my finger on the sound before.

[19791979ist]

Im so in Love with this girl and shes in Love with my best friend, but when i listen to this song all my problems go away

[MrGnarliecharlie1]

@19791979ist I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL MAN!

[0acidtrance0]

this is pretty powerful stuff

[shogott]

@0acidtrance0

how?

[0acidtrance0]

@shogott entrancing! 

[ratlover35]

i never cry when listening to songs. NEVER. i've never heard a song that was sad or touching enough to make me cry until now. this whole hospice album is seriously bringing me to tears :'(

[shogott]

@ratlover35

lolol, were you getting hit with a hammer at the same time? cause thatd make sense.

but crying due to hipster music? no.

[ratlover35]

@shogott i don't recall you being the ultimate judge on what a genre of music is called or the dictator of a person's emotional response to said music. so fuck off.

[kevinh2206]

@shogott how's this hipster?

[vevemon]

A friend introduced me to these guys and I love them. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. It's sad, but the melody is so up-beat, I love it when songs are like this.

[thekingofnaruto]

this song bears repeating over and over and over and over

[kilgorealex]

I"M SEEING THEM TONIGHT HOLLA!!!!!!!

[fossilpro]

I refuse to listen to anything else.

[Darren6Shan]

@hightimesbruce You forget High Violet from The National and The Suburbs from Arcade Fire =)

[megamania555]

God is an Astronaut sent me to The Antlers.

[megamania555]

God is and Astronaut sent me to The Antlers.

[TheWhoopingCoughs]

This is gorgeous in my ears.

[LobsterTrainer]

"I didn’t mind you blaming me for your mistakes,

I just held you in the door-frame through all of the earthquakes."

Hit me like a ton of bricks;

[Raygun1010]

so fucking sad,so fucking beautiful

[Eis4Emmi]

So glad I found this band! Their songs are so beautiful and have such an impact on the listener. Unlike mainstream bands, they don't beg for attention. I love them!

Also, they made me a Sylvia Plath fan ^^ Haha.

I ♥ The Antlers!

[LSDlucid]

This song is so delicious, I'm so high.

[falloutgirl1923]

The concept album has been tried by many and failed miserably in comparison to this. The only other concept album that can even hold a candle remotely close to this is Operation: Mindcrime by Queensryche. Every note on this album speaks to me.

[ganstamannirvana93]

@falloutgirl1923 In The Aeroplane over the Sea rapes this buddy.

[falloutgirl1923]

@ganstamannirvana93 I can't say that I have ever listened to it, but perhaps I will give it a try!

[ganstamannirvana93]

@falloutgirl1923 Holy shit I envy you, I wish I had never hear it. Get on that as soon as possible, you're in for the musical experience of your life.

[falloutgirl1923]

@ganstamannirvana93 I hate you right now......I will not be listening to anything else for the next six months. <3

[omgnoi]

Good stuff.

[storymilo1]

Sometimes I wish I knew people who commented on Antlers videos in real life.

Because they are wonderful.

[ZACKnirvana]

@storymilo1 peace friend :)

[Lullabyxo]

I'm not sure about this band yet, although they are growing on me.

[SurrealistNerd]

Very poetic, it has an underlying theme of sadness and agony without the entire song being someone bitching about their problems. It's a very well written song in my opinion and I love it.

[bb6f44]

orgasmo

[arfuswrinkledinks]

wow this is like the same song as A Perfect Sonnet.

[PersistenceMusic]

"lately ive been wishing i could write a perfect sonnet.:" Good ear My friend.

[ddrfreak104]

im going to seee themm sooon :D

[punaniswabber]

lucky u lol

[snowmuzzle]

I'm falling in love with this band. Their songs are poignant and touching without the attention-whore-emo element.

[jmm85]

lol, true though!

[fana406]

nice put.

[aliencowsmileyface]

@snowmuzzle . . . So very, very true!

[breakfastbud]

@snowmuzzle This is a very arresting album, and brutally depressing, It can be uncomfortable and jarring to listen to, but the atmosphere built by these songs is undeniable. It gets inside your head, you connect with the feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and regret that this album so perfectly conveys. There were many times that I wanted to hit "pause" but didn't as it could easily ruin the album. A powerful musical masterpiece.

[kindbud89]

their work with La Blogotheque is AMAZING!!!! i dare say better than the studio versions

[mrleefosho]

Guys, I'm going to see them on Hovefestival this year.

Hate me!

[Cleavehalla]

Hove 2010? Kult. Let's hope the weather is as good as it was this year :)

[MusicIsLife1402]

This is an awesome song :)

[harvestjones]

when the drum kicks in, the music reminds me a lot of another great band- Matt Pond PA. Hospice is a top ten album thus far para me.

[SharukhFMAlolrandom]

truthfully, album of the year. 2009 is WAAY better than eight was. Seriously, Veckatimest, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Birca Orca. What else could you possibly want? but, in the end, Hospice wins. This album has got that amazing emotional edge on the lyrics.

[Twisttheawesome]

Those are all pretty great albums!

I reccomend you check out Low VS Diamonds self-titled debut if you like those :)

[omgnoi]

@SharukhFMAlolrandom I love Veckatimest <3

[NINmindfreak27]

@SharukhFMAlolrandom What is Birca Orca? You mean Bitte Orca, haha?

[hightimesbruce]

@SharukhFMAlolrandom

The 2010 albums are total shit in comparison, aside from maybe Learning by Perfume Genius, which shares many qualities with Hospice.

[BlackVirusxz]

@hightimesbruce No Ghost by The Acorn, if you like this then you'll like them

[BlackVirusxz]

@SharukhFMAlolrandom Bitte Orca*

[TisAlexa]

your username sucks

[xxbananaxx4]

i really cant figure out why i love this song so much.. the lyrics are amazing but i dont fully understand them. the strumming pattern is repetitive and almost annoying but it fits.

god i love this song

[pcd295]

Correct me if im wrong

this song tells a story of a person who suffers split personalities?

[conall101]

no some with bone cancer

[LemonPoop13]

The artist is a man who fell in love with a bone cancer patient and all songs in this album are dedicated to her. Just listen to these songs with that in mind and the lyrics are pretty obvious.

[LemonPoop13]

and she died*

[weggles]

I believe this album is fictional though, it's a concept album.

[LemonPoop13]

yeah, I didn't know that when i posted that comment. It just seemed liek a very detailed story for a concept album

[jiniton]

im gonna say it

No Audio for the first five seconds

[jenyouwhine]

I'm gonna listen the hell outta this song till it gives me a headache.:)

[resident4thunder]

@jenyouwhine Has it given you a headache yet? :) 

[Archenon614]

goddamnit why does i lurvs dis song?!

[sunshinedaydream1954]

btw, it wasn't me who put the nastey comment, someone is getting into my youtube account

[indiegirlsareweird]

Um, no they were so good opening for Dino Jr.

[ryko26]

what a band, what a song

[demonhawk30]

Then why the hell did you look them up? If you're just going to insult music that other people like, don't look up the song. Please take your trolling somewhere else

[ryko26]

what a twat - compared to The Antlers dinosaur jr are a tiny piece of ant turd.

[youreadeadfit]

agreed

[blindingeffectss]

amazing song.
