Telefon Tel Aviv - You Are the Worst Thing in the World (Original)

[trinityproj3ct]

This song is awesome, as is the Sasha remix.

brividi...

[KeithMMeldrum]

I heard amazing news just the other night from Joshua Eustis's new Telefon tel Aviv facebook page that he is making a new record for telefon tel aviv, thank god, if you guys dont belive me type in telefon tel aviv, and find the green looking pic of joshua, then read his status update.

[BoyfromSevilla]

even thou I think we feel like shit being human cos we are from another planet, and our father left us here to rot don't know why. Maybe to colonize a small, fragile, stupid planet called earth.

[BoyfromSevilla]

jesus you faggots, it is very simple, when something you want happens you enjoy and you don't think so much, quite the contrary when something you don't want happens.

[MonkieeLvoe]

I heard this song playing at a Deftones concert, and I can't seem to have enough of it.

[shadowbot09]

a love we both knew couldn't be, but we both also couldn't help.

[bsilver887]

Too potent of a song.

[alvaro1983]

Does anyone close to TTA know the story behind this song? Was it composed by Josh or by Charlie (RIP)? Was it about a girl? Any girl in particular? Any info is appreciated. I just think this song is so profound and would like to know whatever info about it is out there.

[jotenko]

Just beyond words. another perfect TTA track.

[rac000n]

I get the feeling that the Get Carter theme inspired some of the sounds in the track. Banging tune.

[JimmyGr90]

I honestly have to say that from all the music that I've heard I cannot feel closer to anything. I mean obviously there are other artists as good and you don't compare these kind of things, but TTA.. I just don't know. They have put a lot of effort and emotion into their songs. Maybe it's Charlie's loss. Maybe it's just this period of my life. But it's also been two years.. Wish Charlie was around. Sure, Josh is trying to keep it up, but he must be having a hard time. Such a pitty.. very sad.

[stoutz]

This track is amazing but the remix is far from stupid. Sasha is just as legendary as TTA

[jobrini7]

This album is just perfect. And all the comm on the net like " it's crap, bad new wave etc.." makes me feel genious inspiration stay just for...real dreamers

[troopers88]

orgasm!

[ggorgo]

i have no words to say for the perfection of this song

[ggorgo]

i have no words to say for the perfection of this song...

[theMetronaut]

I know that you’re an ocean After the storm has come 2 stay I know that you’re the silence After the sound has gone away I know that just the smallest Part of the world belongs 2 me You know I am not a blind man (but) truth is the hardest thing 2 see I know That you’re the worst thing In all of the world 4 me I know That you’re the worst thing In all of the world 4 me

[TheFootman456]

good tune

[MaRioNaSTRo]

This is the soundtrack that fits perfectly in my life, lately! It's so self-describing, maybe 'coz I am the worst thing in my life :)

[zzrgio]

ambusador

[KeithMMeldrum]

i know that your an ocean, after the storms come to stay. Great Lyrics! TTV forever

[HaustoriaPith]

Dear Lord,

Thank you for Telefon Tel Aviv.

Amen

[LIGHTRONIX]

@HaustoriaPith haha i lold

[bstevans0]

this sounds so 80's, kinda like OMD in some way, but it does caputure a lot of the good sounds of the best 80's music. And i dont think this is bad, on the contrary its excellent.

[lilbromarky1]

@bstevans0 it does effectively capture the essence of 80's synth pop and that's part of the draw for me, being born in 81' it really hits home.

[bstevans0]

masterpice

[lostempire]

amazing song, best on the album, best song they ever produced imo. I love you Charlie your soul is beautiful forever!!!

[lain545]

i love this song!!!

[xxPoetTaddxx]

i liked it. i like the meaning behind it. Good things are short and bad are long

[reaver2033]

the truth is the hardest thing to see

[kkalop]

unbelievable !!!

[MetalMolder]

Why does this song hit so deep, and hurt so much, because of how beautiful it is?

[coverdaleike]

fkn sexy song heard it about 1 week ago listen to it about 10 times a day

[Valentina6962]

I think in some parts of the song,sounds like Depeche Mode,maybe thats what i like it!!

great song!

[xtraordinarymachine0]

I accidentally gave you a thumbs down, but I can totally see the relation! :)

[Kozeris]

me too, agree with you

[kylek05]

its amazing to get goosebumps from music you have never heard, its also weird for me to like music right away, but this, made both of those seem way to easy...sad to see charlie go =[

[jotenko]

So true. Said.

[aliceshartava]

absolutely adore this. you're missed Charlie

[ruiu3]

R.I.P. CHARLES

[karmacomacure]

their music is not even just music to me, when they play i can feel it in my whole body in ways that no other music can for me, it makes me feel totally enlightened and like im part of a whole different existence, n i feel that Charlie's soul still speaks to us thru it all.

[MedicationRXcords]

I like how you called the Sasha version a "stupid remix". Idiot.

[hawianiceman420]

Totally agree. The sasha remix is awesome. But I love the original as well :)

[Kozeris]

I would say so, Sasha's remix is nothing good. Original is masterpiece

[RenegadeDoctor]

Yeah ughhh, Charlie's death is the worst thing in the world, the fact that this band is over, and the fact that his life, fuck the band, his life is over, and he was such a god damn talented guy, makes this so depressing, it makes this a rememberence album.

[jotenko]

The "Immolate Yourself" track seems like Charles saying goodbye. Unbelieavable.

[KeithMMeldrum]

@RenegadeDoctor i know! :( charlie was such an inspiration! but josh is going to put out more records with one of his friends charlie coopers mom even told me i know her

[MacedonKing]

Rest in Peace Charles!

Probably your sudden death is -THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD right now!

[Backhendal]

i fuckin love it. im probably goin to edit a video to this :)

R.I.P charlie thanks for all your songs with telefon tel aviv

[forcedshell]

masterpiece

[ari77radiohead]

the sasha remix involver 2 is perfect, this track and track 11 the eraser -thom yorke lol

[ArcCollie]

It doesn't come close to comparing to the original.

[ari77radiohead]

is not a compare

[Dannnte]

The sound in the background reminds me of Frankie knuckles housetune( Your Love) from 1985 or something. Do you agree?

[hasnoku]

That was the longest 5 minutes of my entire life, i wish it had lasted much longer

[KMT000]

You mean 'shortest'.

[hasnoku]

no,longest o.o

[Zolotarenko]

@KMT000 lol XD

[KMT000]

@Zolotarenko Lol what? Good things last for a short time, bad ones last long. This makes sense for me. :dunno:

[derbystinks]

@KMT000

r u serious

good things never stop happening

bad ones never occur

its all a state of mind

read" the 4 agreements"

it changed me profoundly

[KMT000]

@derbystinks: I am. It's about relative time. If you are in bad situation, you feel that it lasts long. If a good thing happens to you, and if you think back after it, you feel that it lasted for a short time. Can't explain better. (Maybe it's just my typical hungarian "upside down" thinking. :) )

[Defenestrationed]

@KMT000

No, I'm pretty sure he has upside down thinking.

[TheTomass18]

@derbystinks its somewhat true, but since us being life forms where everything we create around us mentally and physcially effects up profoundly.

[oConnekt]

@derbystinks This is a much deeper conversation but it is true, bad things never happen if you know how to take the perceived bad and use it towards the good. Simply put, the good is good and the bad is good, depending on how you take the bad.

[MrCarnage7]

@derbystinks the 4 agreements was AWSOME! the greatest video on youtube. Thank you

[scorpiondick91]

@derbystinks bad things don't happen? that's patently absurd and I hope you never have to experience true fear or anguish because it seems like you don't know anything about that.

[LeonardHummer]

@KMT000 Thanks for bringing up a philosophical question on youtube! I rarely see that happening here with all the crap people writes. :)

[ParasiticResource]

for me this is the best TTA song ever made. hope josh will carry on making great music. r.i.p. charles

[arathihigh]

he is. he already started touring again. he finally manage to find the strength to go forward, just like charlie would want him to :((

[roflsawce]

This song should be alot longer..

It's too awesome..

Seriously.

RIP CC.</3

[lilbromarky1]

try the sasha remix...its like 7 or 8 minutes and keeps most of the original intact

[arathihigh]

that is an edit.. sasha is always editing the tracks he is playing or compiling on his works, only to make all sound his style.. beautiful anyway :)

[lilbromarky1]

its just just a re-edit. The kick drum and other elements are different in sasha's mix

[lilbromarky1]

i meant to say its "not" just

[missNinaE]

amazing music

[lilbromarky1]

sound quality sounds comprised in this vid

[missolet]

geniales Teil...

[LucaExtrav]

lyrics please!!!!:(

[JelliePj]

I know that you're an ocean after the storm has come.. to stay I know that you're the silence after the sun has gone..away I know that just the smallest..part of the world belongs..to me You know I'm not a blind man..but truth is the hardest thing..to see I know,that you're the worst thing.. in all of the world..for me

[lilbromarky1]

Compare these lyrics to your typical hip hop/r n b song that hits the radio these days. Its so bad now. The hooks in the songs are so dumbed down. The repeat a line times 8 or even times 16 and call it a day. Thank god people are still making real music even if it doesnt ever see mass audiences

[jotenko]

Amen.

[KeithMMeldrum]

@lilbromarky1 Amen

[radioxhead101]

such a powerful song

RIP charlie cooper

[ydnasyxes]

I disagree, Warlockboyburns, this is for anyone who's first love was an obsession. That's why it speaks to alot of people.

[warlockboyburns]

this is for women

[Leaf400]

Too bad you're not.

[warlockboyburns]

maybe

[espuderito]

have you guys heard sasha remix XD??

omg i hope he can play that this saturday 16th april

[gearedtowardssalad]

Actually Josh put a new blog up a few weeks ago saying that he's playing shows with another guy. European tour this summer, US tour in fall.

[Quigimon]

Awsome post, their myspace says that he's not sure about the direction of TTA, which is painfull for artist and fans alike, but seriously anything that Josh or Charles touched was golden, with that, i've heard plenty of tracks that show that each of their abilities and though TTA might no longer be, i hope Josh continues in music, i could handle that.

[CivicAutomatica]

im depressed too........ you guys brought some great music to this earth. hope your making music with the angels bro.

Rest in Infinite peace

[alexz1st]

don't post when you are toasted mate:))

[gearedtowardssalad]

I have to say that I only started listening to these guys 2 months before Immolate Yourself came out and owned all of their records after Immolate Yourself came out. These guys have changed my perception about life, music, audio (I am in college majoring in audio), and gave me a group to look forward to in a vast ocean of shitty scene emo metal blablbalbalba bands. Charlie and Josh are pioneers and will live on forever (together) as heroes of mine. I hope I can catch Josh on tour somewhere.

[01DMD]

great.
