Broken Social Scene - Pitter Patter Goes My Heart

[nostalgicBurst]

am i the only one who hears a similarity between this and "anthem for a seventeen year old girl"?

[edwardliam]

@nostalgicBurst yep i can here it too. was confusing for a bit but then i realised what the other song was.

[calumelliott]

@nostalgicBurst It's pretty much the instrumental version.

[waidkellie]

I have no words for this song. Just strong strong delicious feelings.

[luqueteeees]

Wuauuuuu......wuau......

[verbam]

I guess no one here has considered the fact that his song is a REPRISE to Anthems. It sounds the same? Whoa no way. It's like Bookends Theme (Track 7) sounds the same as Bookends Theme (Track 1).

[fuknoz]

that took 20 band members? 

[viejachancletuda]

I love this song and video!

[AceProductions91]

Used to be one of the rotten ones and he liked you for that.

[faroreswind]

The romantic in me finds this irresistible.

[NemethBooshi]

Everytime I listen to this song it makes me think of the country side

[ThePassportRadio]

I was in the bathroom after showering, listening to the final few tracks of 'You Forgot in People', and this song came on.

I imagined that I was trapped in the middle of a busy road, in some district of downtown Toronto. Cars were rushing past me all in a blur, and sky scrapers made shadows in every direction. I suddenly felt alone and sad... until 0:50 where all I heard was a voice that told me I was free, that I was free that I was free.

Then I started to cry for the first time to a song.

[AceProductions91]

It is the same thing as Anthems for A Seventeen Year Old Girl...BUT, it's an instrumental version, I approve!

[seriousguynogames3]

This song makes me want to take the girl I have a crush on, lay her on a soft bed, and make love to her for 2:24, if I can even last that long with this song playing.

[MrErlendFS]

When I meet a girl worthy of my love, I'll play this song for her. Then I will get her to like BSS. Afterwards we will get married and have babies.

[MrErlendFS]

@onegnometorule I'm sorry if my comment touched a nerve of yours. The comment was pretty much a statement of my appreciation of this band and their music, and was not supposed to be taken literally. Why do you have to spread hate? If only we could be kind towards others.

[InnocentPixels]

@MrErlendFS Worthy? lol

[Amelia78779]

As I once said of her, paraphrasing what Mark Twain's Adam said of his Eve, "Wherever she was, there was paradise"

[MrFreako2010]

31 people weren't ready to take the plunge into the a-bliss.

[Seiketsuuu]

is that Kevin Drew kissing Leslie Feist, or is she some other woman?

[yannin90s]

terhanyut dgn video ni. wah..

[snowyywwinters]

lol seems like my comment is more of a topic then this song:P! prob cause its been played over and over;)

[Neuromancer0425]

It is similar to anthems for a seventeen year old girl. it's still wonderful.

[ratched87]

Just broke up with girlfriend. Cannot listen to this song right now otherwise I will hide under a pile of blankets and coats for the next two months, weeping.

[gaduie]

@ratched87 morr like jaggin off!

[henryhernandez46]

beautifully orchestrated and the shots are so impressive.  Here we have a nice piece of music and image.

[SeventhSeal91]

I broke up with my girlfriend a few days ago and I'm not ashamed to say this just made me cry.

[Zanabism]

They make me prooud to be Canadian (:

[snowyywwinters]

@brittanyjohnsonable lmao you lot need to get a life! 6months ago was my comment!! and i still listen to B.S.S

[1moreastronaut]

@snowyywwinters Your comment is as stupid now as it was 6 months ago.  It's not brittany's fault she just read it recently.

[MyassWins]

@snowyywwinters Your comment is not a time frame. Golly.

[7cakemomma5]

Cool video. If you look close enough you can see them moving along with the water. Very romantic

[erockticme]

those sea scenes are probably the most beautiful thing Ive seen today.

[TheAngelsCryToo]

this is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen

[goobergallery]

I love this song, along with the video.

It's really beautiful, especially because you can't see very much detail in the faces of those two, but the passion is all there.

Braaaaaaaavoooo.

[thearrowsoferos]

Beautiful, but I get sick when I read the comments of all you pretentious indie fucks, does elitism come standard for your kind?

[gustergirl]

Stunning! Absolutely stunning.

[STOPtheHORROR]

Sounds just like Anthems for a 17 Year Old Girl but without the vocals.

[easyluckyfree7]

@STOPtheHORROR its the reprise

[STOPtheHORROR]

@easyluckyfree7 Yeah I checked it out after I commented.

[GypsyAugury]

@iluvfetus You fail because 1) Your username is 'iluvfetus', 2) "i'm under the influence of some pretty heavy opiates because i just broke my face on a tree" Since I'm quoting that you are either a compulsive liar or have severe memory loss and 3) You reprimanded me for starting an anonymous argument in the same sentence you were arguing back.

[GypsyAugury]

@iluvfetus You fail because 1: You were dumb enough to fall out of a tree and break your face, 2: You quoted the comment incorrectly and 3: You spelled 'Cyrus' wrong.

[myoutopia73]

totally Aggreed

[Xirokami]

So simple... yet so beautiful. One kiss, then they just slow it down, recolor... brilliant. Then to reverse it. Not even a high school student would think of that.

[owenissalty]

i never liked this song before. It's funny how a song can just suddenly hit you at a certain point in your life. Now, I think it's the most beautiful song.

[snowyywwinters]

this is pretty much the same beat as. *song for 17 year old girl* nice beat, but this band is lazy

[mikejbrand]

@snowyywwinters That has got to be the dumbest thing anyone has ever said. Up to 20 members all doing their separate work on top of BSS. They've released solo records and scored multiple movies.  They tour like no other...lazy is not the word, try brilliant!

[RustedRoots]

@snowyywwinters Almost ever musician and great composer repeats themselves and brings elements from other pieces into other songs. Beethoven did it and so did Bach. Clint Mansell does it still (he wrote requiem for a dream) I guess they're lazy too

[langfoman]

@mikejbrand actually its pretty much the same song when it comes to chord progression and comp rythm, only thing changed is that theyve cut the vocals and went in a more melodic flowing instrumental version

[unholymonkey]

@mikejbrand Though they are the same rythyms though..

[Wannop]

@snowyywwinters

it's a reprise of 'anthems for a seventeen-year-old girl', a beautiful arrangement too, it deserves to be heard alone. i'm guessing youre just fucking with people though.

[TheKeenGuy]

@snowyywwinters You either haven't listened to the album as a whole, or you don't understand the concept of a reprise.

[ilaughindooors]

@snowyywwinters, duh. it's intentional. don't call it lazy.

[StarkMevens]

@snowyywwinters it's called a reprise you fucking moron

[happydude1992]

@snowyywwinters Lazy! I don't think so, but rather it is more of the theme of the record

[tilhon]

@snowyywwinters OMG REALLY?! MAYBE THEY THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T NOTICE BUT IT AS IT TURNS OUT YOU'RE A GENIUS - VERY WELL DONE SIR!

[MichalZKrowa]

@snowyywwinters thats true its the same song. lazy mother fuckers!

[theolivefairy]

@snowyywwinters get educated before you make yourself look stupid.

[FSquid]

@snowyywwinters It's called a reprise you idiot

[princetolstoy]

10:15

[MonaLisaTime]

Lovely...to spend a day with those lips. 10:15

[MsEviscerate]

Sigur Ros or BSS, they both make "such beautiful fucking music," they're celestial spawn not rivals in my book ;)

[lessfilling]

these cocksuckers make such beautiful fucking music.

[amydbabe1]

This piece of music makes my heart feel huge.

[gootch420]

love it

[SodosFolfanga]

world's smallest violin

[klspratlin]

i love how beautiful the song is..even without words. Sooo many thoughts come to mind :)

[sanjeev82]

sigur ros got nothin on BSS. BSS > almost all.

[TheIndieMod]

I'm a sigur ros fan, and I think i've just found a rival...

[Guillotineman]

if this is not perfection, I don't know what is...

[hislove4ever7]

This video seems like the most pure experience you can have.

[Stratocaster821990]

this song reminds me that no matter what happens the sun will always rise in the morning and set at night...I've been going through a rough time and it reminds me that somewhere(probably more near than far) someone care about us all...

[freegadflyathome]

WOW....in response to jldkrank this is everything about the act of falling in love...thanks you BSS

[angelbaby300]

Everytime i listen to this song, i get a rush of emotion, and i feel like crying. its so powerful & it gives me goosebumbs. :| <3

[somethinglikemagic]

@angelbaby300 that's broken social scene for you :) you've got to love them.

[snookeelove]

i teared up while listening to this and thinking of my girl friend.. wow.

[jldkrank]

This is the sound of falling in love.

[quickgears]

@jldkrank your comment made me get all warm. You're so right :) :)

[Bebkins]

@jldkrank It is, and it breaks my heart.

[gogglesmcgee67]

@Bebkins

how so?

[Bebkins]

@gogglesmcgee67 it's a sound i wouldn"t know.

[kosK1D]

@jldkrank i hope ill get to hear it my self some day

[Skankindragon1]

@jldkrank  sap-fest.

[TReoS96]

@jldkrank love is mixture of chemical reactions in the brain and hormones secreted into the blood stream none of those processes make a sound.

[theolivefairy]

@TReoS96 METAPHORICALLY.

[TReoS96]

@theolivefairy Oh....

[theolivefairy]

@TReoS96 :D

[lostanddumbfounded]

weathering the elements together :)

[peaceandlovechick]

It's amazing how there doesn't have to be any words for this song. its speaks for itself. absolutely beautiful :)

I can feel my heart race with this song.

[SweetSerenityXx]

I hear you, I have goosebumps

[floatinglines]

kinda sigur ros-y

[BloggerMusicMan]

Great band, great song, brilliant album. I love listening to "Pitter Patter Goes My Heart" between "Pacific Themes" and "Anthems of a Seventeen Year Old Girl". That's the way I set it up on my mp3 player and it's epic. The perfect build up to "Anthems".

[RachelJumpsLikeAaron]

this is a wonderful, mellow tune

[grandmashortbread]

omg this is so beautiful it made me cry

[CinnamonDrama]

beautiful.

[tdstdstdss]

this reminds me of the titanic.

[jimmy8shoes]

lol  hahahahahahaa

[InfraSonicoCR]

love love love love love love love it!

[biiirrd]

I love my girl, but I really want to go back to the first day we announced ourselves taken together.

[BentHenny]

What?

[grayduck11]

listen to anything by sigur ros

[EvanEtrics]

Don't care much for the video, but the song goes hand-in-hand with Anthems, which is my favourite song of all time, so... yeah! :)

[krilabeier]

That is also one of my favorite songs.

[DarknessHowls]

Isn't this just the string part from "Anthems"?

In any case, love this song/album/band.

[BrettEats]

pacific theme is the actual prelude to anthems for a seventeen year old girl. the ending of that song is the same as the beginning of anthems.

[7cakemomma5]

Listen to this then listent to anthems for a seventeen year old girl-it's like a prelude

[Ceb773]

... says the person who

a) is named "booger" (thats hilarious, by the way)

b) can't spell "sucks"

c) can't spell "does"

[heechae10]

"suks" is pretty acceptable but dose is just sad. lol

[longinusmaximus]

i don't care if he can't spell, the man has a keen ear. i don't understand why so many people like this band. i don't understand why you put quotation marks around those words.

[Ceb773]

not many people like this band, as far as i know. but they're infinitely better than most of the shit that's called music nowadays.

[longinusmaximus]

well, at least they're somewhat original, i'll give them that.

[Ceb773]

hooo yeah

[krilabeier]

Gosh, I guess it must depend on where you are, because here in Mpls they are rather popular.

[felicoolcat]

is that leslie fiest and kevin drew?

[CatRevolver]

this is beautiful.

[NaaomiLeon]

i cant tell you how much thi s vide makes me want to cry.

[xXHeroOfTimeXx]

this is one of the most moving videos i've ever seen

[o0siobhan0o]

This is beautiful

[timaay1000]

Their love stays strong even through the hardest waves of life crashing down on them. Nothing matters but the love that they feel.

[togoodtobetrueforyou]

I agree with huhareyouserious  ..this would be a perfect song to walk down the aisle to.

[Kleimeyer]

its nice but to walk down the isle i don't know. this is a bit too sombre. i'd want something more uplifting like pachelbals cannon

[n0uhad]

really something..

[sh4dow83]

interesting... as with sigur ros, there obviously are quite a few people who think this music is beautiful in an uplifting way. i on the other hand, find it beautiful because it sounds very melancholic to me... huh...

[user788]

i agree with you that this music is rooted in melancholy. what i think makes it uplifting is the the music, even the act of making the music, finds beauty in the melancholy.

[xXHeroOfTimeXx]

I see this song as a memory of something beautiful that has been lost, but still remembered with all the passion of first experiencing it. But I think that's because everyone's interpretation of certain songs that move them is based off their experiences in life. So while it is beautiful and uplifting to remember, it's sad that it's a memory. Not tryin to be too much of a philosopher here lol, just how i see the song and the video adds SO much.

[Kleimeyer]

interesting indeed, i agree with the shadow dude, it just reminds me of mogwai and sigur ros.

[areekrek]

its happiness. its when you find not a copy of yourself but the person who looks inside your eyes and respons to you and to your thinking.

[hippocakes]

It's what real love feels like when it first hits you that you've found it :)

[AnnaKaymovingpicture]

the blend from anthems to this is meant to show the transition from a 17 year old girl to a young woman, which usually overlaps. Both songs embody love and passion, but of different kinds. This song is a woman's love, and even motherhood. So beautiful

[huhareyouserious]

So if a song could the emotion of love, than this is it.... i love....i'm playing it at my wedding

[Sealsealdk]

"Patter" means "tits" in danish XD

[stopbeingsonaked]

no words.

[SeanInTheSkyline]

I could listen to this and Anthems for days and never get tired of it.

[aidenmnuroff]

extremely beautiful

[dojomanz]

so god damn good

[mcdonaldaine]

I love this band!!! I'm from Europe and had never heard of them until today, they're amazing. This is the type of music that should be aired on the radio more often!!! Actually this song reminds me a bit of icelandic Sigur Ros...

[R3nkse]

Absolutely, most of their stuff sounds like Sigur Ros.

[afunkysippycup]

I LOVED THIS! OMFG the video.. AWESOME STUFF!

[dk1119]

listen to anthems then pitter patter goes my heart after, they blend into one.

this and anthems are my favorite ever.

[patblah]

doesnt Pacific Theme also blend into anthems?

It goes Pacific Theme into Anthems into Pitter Patter

[chasehaggardisblack]

anthems and pitter patter defnitly go together

but im not sue about pacific theme

[spinaziepasta]

It's the final notes of pacific theme that could blend into pitter patter

[misscleo3861]

Pacific Theme comes right before Anthems, and they blend into each other that way, but they don't really share any musical elements like Anthems and Pitter Patter do. And then Anthems doesn't blend into Pitter Patter the way Pacific Theme blends into Anthems...if that makes sense. It pretty much just ends and then Cause=Time begins.

[chasehaggardisblack]

EITHER WAY WE ALL AGREE

WE LOVE BSS

[aztaroth5891]

Correct me if I'm wrong but, the music sounds exactly like 'anthem for a seventenn year old girl don't you think???

[danii829]

same here. its reli similar

[R3nkse]

Totally.

[manateesanssanity]

this is fucking amazing

[gustergirl]

<333333333333

[eclecticbgirl]

i wished the last 20 seconds was extended to at least a minute...

</3

[candid91]

aw, i wanna use this for my wedding. =]
