Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect

[whattf73]

I'm here because there was an awesome sample song on a really shitty MP3 player I received in 2006.

[triborify]

himym



[icextoxwater]

How I Met Your Mother? Heck no, I'm here because of The Fountainhead. :)

[Necrotamine]

Ted and Robin talking and this song at the back.. Clasic :)

[KudoMelad]

lol =] only the architects are here xD

architects RULE !

[rs180216]

Ted Mosby, architect

[ForsakenZOL]

Archisexture :D

[LordElfiian]

I did not find this first on HIMYM. But the show seems to always remind me of great songs. :)

[Mastermind8634]

Pandora saves my work day peace

[cgarcia141]

Architecture+good music. My two passions combined. Lol.

[MrAgentFunk]

I love HIMYM!! It always has great music like this and Bloc Party

[TheHeadhunterProject]

Great song! Thank you How i met your mother! TED MOSBY: ARCHITECT

[luison111]

I bet the majority of people who looked at this video, heard this song on how i met your mother. and are also architects. haha like me .

[shauno5166]

grizzley bear, the unicorns, AND, the decemberists? man how i met your mother has great taste in music. I should really watch it one of these days...

[DevalII]

Hey HIMYM, thank you for this band. Decemberists fan 2009-

[ClaireandAlexis]

i love this song! i heard it on how i met your mother and instantly fell in love with it <3

[TheBeatlesLUV1]

I seriously luv this song!!! The song of my childhood!!!

[TiodoHotel]

This reminds me of Placebo.

[boncukch]

I will listen this song forever <3

[LisaFlam]

I looked for this song becouse of How I Met Your Mother , and I love this song !

[LosersIncorporated]

I am nothing of a builder, but here I dreamt I was an architect and I built this balustrade to keep you home, to keep you safe from the outside world. But the angles and the corners, even though my work is unparalleled, they never seemed to meet.This structure fell about our feet and we were free to go...

Why are The Decemberists so amazing?

[maximoplf]

just to lay with you there's nothing that I wouldn't do

[ShadowChancellor]

Don't tell me this song will become mainstream because of a tv show...

[xChaosNinja]

@ShadowChancellor Don't tell me that you would rather see a good band not see mainstream success because you're a hipster.

[ShadowChancellor]

@xChaosNinja success for the wrong reasons, is worse than no success at all. And i find hipsters to be hypocritical.

[xChaosNinja]

@ShadowChancellor People like you are the worst. You would rather see a band fail just so you can think that you're cool for knowing about them when other people don't. A real fan would be happy for their success, regardless of whether or not it was through a TV show. And by saying you think hipsters hypocritical you just proved your one more. :/

[ShadowChancellor]

@xChaosNinja The problem is that bands become bad when they become popular. They put less time into creating albums so they can pump out a ton of mediocre songs. It isn't that I don't want them to be successful, I just don't want them to sell out for popular opinion.

[DevalII]

@ShadowChancellor Um it was on a TV show in like 2006.

[tossnturn23]

song is very good. its not lyrical but to me this song has one of the best lyrics.

[dom01ful]

now i want to be an architect...damn it -.-

beautiful song anyway

[moonkillsun20]

"who the hell is barney?"

[moonkillsun20]

glad i'm not the only one who looked this up after watching how i met your mother. great song.

[TheGreenMissile]

God listening to this song makes me so depressed I'm single.

DAMN YOU HIMYM!!!!

Why do you have to be awesome!!!! Grrrr.

[HeRsHeYsKiSsz]

Hmm...the sexless in-keeper?

Hehe ;]

[Pancakesatthedisco]

what album is this from?

[bumchicawowa]

thumbs up if you searched for this song because of how i met you mother

[ForsakenZOL]

One of the Best HIMYM Music :D

[manujay]

If you love this song like i do search on google Golden Brown by the Stranglers, another amazing song which has a few similarities to this beauty

[grinderman77]

It should be a crime to have a voice that sounds that good.

[MaxOrtan]

TED MOSEBY, SEX ARCHITECT!

[nikolajhansen15]

Ted moseby, architect!

[damerush]

The first image, really is a great band portrait.

[LollipopGooney8]

I swear Colin Meloy sounds like Robbie Williams :3

[damerush]

@LollipopGooney8 mixed with a lot of Brian Molko

[corderriusb]

How I Met Your Mother Is The New Age That 70s Show....Both Are Awesome Shows!!!

[peaceplease]

Really good song. I just started watching How I Met Your Mother and about five seconds of this song came on. Had to Google it right away.

[ForsakenZOL]

0:00

[ForsakenZOL]

HIMYM Musics are THE BESTS!!!!

[apexi10]

This song is going to be "Wait For It"..."LEGENDARY!"

[casanueva234]

TEd Mosby "Made me an Architect "

[tossnturn23]

Ted Mosby brought me here.

[tossnturn23]

Ted Mosby brought me here.

[AndrewLeonardUy]

Dear Resident, The time we spent together, however long it was, meant the world to me. I would love to see you again but unfortunately I cannot. You see, I am a ghost. I can only materialize once every decade, on the anniversary of my death. I chose to spend my one day among the living with you, sweet resident. Perhaps we will meet again, in another decade--provided you keep your figure. Until then, all my love from the beyond, Barney.

[BlakeLeighh]

Dear Resident, the night we spent together was amazing. I regret that we wont be able to see each other again because, see.. I am a ghost, I can only come back once every 10 years for one night, and I chose to spend it with you sweet Resident.

[SPAAAAACEman]

Ted Mosby. Architect.

[DarkSideOfTheMoon991]

Oh how this song brings back last autumn....

[Sharkkanpgm]

<3<3<3<3

[onkelMoesi]

Ted Mosby, Architect. *blink*

[Panagos22E]

Ted Mosby is the reason I will become an architect one day :)

[Youfree09]

Legen.... Wait for it 'cause The Decemberists are awsome.... dary!!

[liftedfeversnmirrors]

@Youfree09  hahaha awesomedary

[ajpoubelle]

Thanx for posting :)

[WriterOfTheRain]

"And I am nothing of a builder

[crazebox66]

@WriterOfTheRain i love how unique their lyrics are... how many other bands would say balustrade for real it is pure music at work when they make music

[torusato32]

i think these guys like Sven

[ahhspectacular]

@Mrtylerdurden420 Is this the Red Scare? Chill and enjoy the song, Joe McCarthy. You sound more paranoid than Richard Nixon.

[MrTylerdurden420]

is anybody else seeing these pics??? what country are these obvious commies from??? they dress soviet, they even wear soviet garb! this is so not cool!

[MrSilvUr]

@MrTylerdurden420 They come from the far off land of Oregon. Come on man, don't be rediculous. Saying they're commies because of that one picture, is like saying that they're from Victoria era Asia because of the picture at 2:26.

Unless you're joking, in which case, oh.

[jongee88]

@MrTylerdurden420 Is anybody else seeing these pics??? What country are these obvious cowboys from??? They dress cowboy, they even wear cowboy garb! This is not cool!

[Biverix]

@MrTylerdurden420 Firstly, that would be Chinese rather than Soviet. Mao's Little Red Book, if I'm not mistaken. Also, I have coat very similar to the one worn by the lad with the double bass. Do you suggest I should be imprisoned for undermining democracy? Seriously dude? The 70's republicans are calling, they want their paranoia back.

You do no honor to the name of Tyler Durden, sir.

[TheJojonass]

suit up!

[TheJojonass]

suit up

[IShot1MillionPeople]

[gee026]

how i met your mother brought me here :)

[remfanbeforu]

This groups lyrics are so refreshing to hear, true poetry to my ear! I have fell in love with their music, haven't heard a bad tune yet.

[Taka014]

haaaaaaaaaaaave you met ted?

[dreamerwithapen]

These lyrics are incredible... A true ode to the English language.

[imsno0zin]

A quickly thrown together video for sure, but still way better than the official video.

[Qybo]

Chuck Norris brought me here

[CheIseaSmiIe]

Beautiful song. Sent here by How I Met Your Mother.

[saphirefrost]

@CheIseaSmiIe same here :)

[OmgAZ0mbie]

I still remember watching How I met your mother and going "HOLY SHIT!" "THATS THE DECEMBERISTS!!"

[tubeguy789]

this song is on how i met your mother season 2 episode 4 (Ted Mosby architect)

[tubeguy789]

this song is on how i met your mother season 2 episode 4 (Ted Mosby architect

[stephaniexxx1]

i just heard this song yesterday night and im in LOVE with it.

[YaseminYonet]

Had to find this song after hearing it on HIMYM! Great song!

[gagstersps3]

@YaseminYonet Yeah me too :D

[StreetJohn924]

This song is so amazing.

[mirtasmiddlefinger]

i'm one of those HIMYM people. i had to find out what song this was when i heard it. it's really amazing, one of my favourites now. :)

[b152349]

i think this song is about how the brownies on the edge are always the last ones people wanna eat.

[shaunends]

once i found this band i feel in love all over again

[dipasquale123]

how i met your mother

[GoldenGhettoFilms]

Ted Mosby: Architect.

[kristinexox0]

do you think you could send me this song?

[2Espavo]

I keep listening to it every day many times...it suits my mood...I first heard it on a tv serial called "how i met your mother"...the last scene of an episode faded away while playing this song..and it got me completely...

[brknspacebar]

Check out my cover of THE RAKE SONG

[KamillaNeeraas]

lovely

[francophileMUC]

I love the decemberists. Although now I know why my ex roommate discovered them. She's a HIMYM freak. I don't really care who likes them, I'm addicted.

[Joeguy1092]

Well i heard it back in "06" when i got my i river mp3 player.

[anjelzjelly129]

@Joeguy1092 OMG! Me too! What a coiencidence 8D! I got mine just the christmas before 2006 but close enough, this song was up ther too. I miss my iRiver a lot.

[thomas834]

I seriously love this song

[nAthAnxhAAg]

if you wanna hear this song, THIS is the video to come to

[Bitnd12]

Haha, hey, thanks! :)

[manosn1b]

omg we all learned this song for HIMYM as it seems.. same for me too

[jorghad6]

i didn't. i found this band thru another band called Rogue Wave, this was the 1st song i heard by them

[supergogetaai]

this is becoming one of my favorite songs from my favorite show How i met your mother

[artisticenabeled]

what episode was it(I wanna see this)?

[supergogetaai]

@artisticenabeled season 2 episode 4

[artisticenabeled]

thanks

[supergogetaai]

No problem hope you liked the episode

[dcrown7]

this man can sure write....and sing...and play...hay hay

[SquashTetherPro]

I'm a HIMYM fan and a Decemberists fan, and now I'm sad that I missed this episode that everyone is talking about

[gauravprabhakar2009]

How i met your mother rocks and so does this song :)

[marmalade1992]

I TOTALLY agree XD

[DevalII]

I admit I saw this on HIMYM. But I love it.

[noname4404]

i don't think any indy band actually minds to be on television....if they would, they wouldn't be.....so if you don't want your cherished song on global television, tell the band to shove it, not people who want to talk about a song they like. which i actually don't, i am way to cool for soft pop. i just come here to tell you how cool i am to know this band....oh wait no, thats all the other morons spamming youtube.

[Drasterr]

to be honest, I found this specific song trough How I Met Your Mother.

[AndreOzz]

same here.

[exotic1881]

me three

[MollusQue6]

@Drasterr, so did I :)

[FalconedFilms]

Hey Natharry many people found this band without Scrubs (I personally have no interest in the show) but my opinion aside Scrubs just bought the rights to the song because the producer liked it. Shut up and press play again!!

[TheNematoad07]

Take your negativity elsewhere, NatHarry. Some like Scrubs.

[XicaBoliviana]

What a beautiful song...

[fradicsavesz]

I heard it in HIMYM its fuckin good :)

[kiwitoothpaste]

*sigh* This is my favorite song.

[hilltop530]

I just got all of their music.

It's good to see some originality in music as of late.

[licoricelove]

I love how the title of this song fit in perfectly with the theme of that episode:

"Ted Mosby, Architect." =]

How I Met Your Mother and Scrubs have uncovered several amazing artists and music. <3

[bananaempijama]

totally

[xrandolphx]

i second that. good stuff, watched that episode again just now :)

[gruuslane]

I second that

[NatHarry]

They have uncovered nothing! They have merely exposed beautiful music to morons

[licoricelove]

I highly respect your openness in expressing your opinion. But I would appreciate it if you didn't call anyone a moron. Some people may find the music from Scrubs to be quite uplifting for them. We have different tastes is all. In the end, it's all about this "beautiful music." It wouldn't matter whether we heard it on the radio or through a television sitcom, as long as we've had the opportunity to listen. We're all here to simply immerse ourselves in this music. So please, let's not dispute.

[NatHarry]

I just have a problem with things that are of genuine quality being associated with 3rd rate yankee bilge such as Scrubs.... It's like sticking some golden arches on the sistine chapel

[Zebztheshit2]

@licoricelove are you fucking serious!?

[NixoTT]

@licoricelove you might wanna add Supernatural to that list =)

[musicnlove91]

@licoricelove

this is so true.

i discovered so many great bands by watching scrubs.

check out joseph arthur

[cmdterps44]

@licoricelove

exactly why I came to look at this song. I heard it during that episode.

[yeswecannabis421]

@licoricelove Booooo these amazing bands were around way before those shows you and 52 other people just never heard of them

[licoricelove]

@yeswecannabis421 I'm sure they were, and I respect you so much for being a fan. I'm sorry I hadn't discovered them sooner. It really is amazing music, but geez, as long as we get to hear it once what matters where it came from? Why are we making such a big deal of something we all love when we can simply let it alone and listen? As a musician, it upsets me that people are using music as more of a gateway for "verbal weaponry" than a chance to connect and recognize common ground.

[yeswecannabis421]

@licoricelove did i just get served?

[yeswecannabis421]

@licoricelove well i guess its on then! *MOMMMMM ITS ON!!!!!!*

[Biverix]

@licoricelove HIMYM revealed to me Islands and Ted Leo, and when I heard this song I was like "fuck, this show is AWESOME."

True story.

[element1826]

@licoricelove How I Met Your Mother is how i discovered this song hahah

[Kingkidkira]

@element1826 same with everyone else. LOLZ

[crazebox66]

@Kingkidkira uh i no i am a raging fan of the decemberists and i have never seen a single episode of that show

[Kingkidkira]

@crazebox66 I'm sorry most people

[Failed0Attempts]

i really love this song!

[Xmasterxxxx]

This is amazing song

[piper87]

the vocalist voice has an uncanny resemblance to tim freedmen from the whitlams

[googerblah]

I don't watch TV.

I learned about The Decemberists because I talk to people with brains.

I'm so much better than the whimps who commented before me. And probably after. God, I'm a stud.

[leev3]

If you can evaluate someone's intelligence with just one comment on a website like youtube, i really think that you deserve a PhD in neuropsychology. Maybe you should ask the people-with-brains that you are talking about if they have some for you. Stupid people.

[googerblah]

I'll wait while you re-read what you said and realise how hypocritical it was.

Actually, I can't wait for your mind to process it, so let me do it for you: "If you can evaluate someone's intelligence with just one comment on a website like youtube...Stupid people. "

This is me laughing at you. You are dismissed.

[googerblah]

It took you two tries to come up with that. Once again, you are dismissed.

G'way, chimp.

[leev3]

La vraie intelligence, c'est la remise en question et par extension, le retour sur soi et ses fautes. Il y avait une faute dans mon commentaire, je l'ai corrigée. Ca me semble logique. Maintenant, je constate que tu n'as strictement rien à dire de foncièrement intéressant. Que tu te places en tant qu'être supérieur là où tu n'es que petitesse d'esprit, donc moi je m'arrête là. Premièrement tu dis qu'il faut être con pour regarder la télé.

[leev3]

Deuxième que mon commentaire est hypocrite et manifestement, tu ne sais même pas ce que cela veut dire. Troisièmement, tu ne réponds toujours pas à ce que je dis (puisque tu n'as rien à dire) et tu me dis un truc complètement prévisible à savoir "haha, il t'a fallu deux essais"' avec ta pauvre expression "you're dismissed". Et ce qui fait pitié, c'est que tu penses être pertinent. Bref, définitivement, tu n'es qu'une personne moyenne alors j'ai pas le temps.
