The Low Anthem - "Charlie Darwin" - SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artist

[danneigh]

Met these guys after a city and colour concert. beautiful music.

[Volcom1323]

I also saw these guys at city and colour

[Ainjul]

Heard this on Numbers :3

[wavessoundlight]

@Ainjul oh yeah, Hydra (season 6 episode 5)

[mnicoled]

Saw these guys live when I attended a City and Colour concert last night, just as phenomenal as they sound in this video. Amazing.

[wtfwendyx3]

Skins<3

[kermitcasson]

I saw this live a couple months ago...i forgot to breathe.

[nynke368]

Amazing video really good music <3

[nightfrailer]

Amazing video

[benkitteh]

this song is too good for skins.

[TheLeviathan1312]

I love this song, and only now discovered this video. i feel the video makes it so much more potent...is it too much to suggest that the video equates darwin to noah (with the world flooding, etc) by bringing animals to this world in a new light? just a thought.

[AtomicVHPunk]

I don't know Skins but I do know that this song equals beauty

[MarsLord326]

ya want an explanation? here it is: the song is talking about the arrogance of creatonists and people who ignore the theory of evolution the lines ''fighting for a system built to fail''and lords of war only profit from decay'' relate to religous wars and dogma 

[SandyRow23x3]

Effie walking down the corridor in the Hospital <3

[YoDamienRice89]

If you love great folk music like this then check out this band from Tennessee called Seraplane. They aren't very big right now, but if you get the chance search them on youtube and listen for yourself

[TCGavlick]

Skins Blows. This song is amazing.

[DangoTeff]

@TCGavlick YOU. Gtfo now. Just leave. Skins is awesome i know this isnt a skins video but god dude. who doesnt like skins?

[nefronen]

Check out "Different Shades of Grey - Floating" <--- a song written by me and my partner in crime :D we took some influences particularly from this song, tell me what you think!

[AvatarOfAvatar]

I think I got this song from a Starbucks card, then I saw them last night open for Mumford and Songs... I love this band :)

[WillardCritter]

GRANDI XDDD

[ThelastJohnSilver]

is this a religious hate song to Darwnism, reading the lyrics and now I have watched the video, still Im not sure...

[pridsters]

Saw them live last year where I heard this song for the first time....been addicted ever since.

[SKSPEEPI]

This video and song make me sad- in a good way; It's pensive and wistful, and a painfully beautiful song. I don't even know if I fully understand the message of it but for some reason I just can't stop listening to it. <3

[tomoose7]

Just found this tune on someones blog. Looks as though it was in skins; i'm from bristol where it was filmed and everyone here thinks it's shit.

[Eleniaturner]

I love this song, I so want to see it live...

[Moomoobobo]

Saw them with Iron and Wine a couple weeks ago. Simply amazing...

[usedfuzzbox]

[zombieeatslollipop]

@treeboar77 i'm sorry this cracked me up :P you are kidding right? :P

[steviebubbles04]

such a beautiful song

[daviddanielgraham]

Set the sails I feel the winds a stirring.... Toward the bright horizon said the wave.... Cast your reckless deeds on our Mayflower... The halo from the world and hurricane - Who can heed the words of Charlie Darwin.... FIghting for a system built to fail - Spooning water from the broken vessel - as far as I can see, there is no land. --- THESE LYRICS ARE PROBABLY wrong, but I always thought it was funny to see different people's impressions of lyrics :) I have loved this song for over a year :)

[GymnasticBreaks]

@daviddanielgraham these lyrics are wrong, the real ones are very beautiful you should look them up, i'll get you started:

Set the sails I feel the winds a'stirring

Toward the bright horizon set the way

Cast your wreckless dreams upon our Mayflower

Haven from the world and her decay

Beautiful song.

[Lamby6]

nothing on bon iver

[cbennz514]

@Lamby6 If you listen to their whole album, it's difficult to compare them to Bon Iver. Both good bands in different ways

[sarajanecullen]

i heard this song on csi miami

[CamDeSchink]

Thumbs up for who-ever just SHAZAMD skins like a boss.

[OinkOink123456]

that water is amazing. how was it done?



[DecemberHanne]

@OinkOink123456 Hair gel

[meoweth23]

[MiCKi914]

Loved this! :)

[brtk100]

perfect song : ]

[NaschySillydog]

great song

[malalotja]

saw these guys follow the Felice Brothers at the End of the Road festival in Dorset, hard act to follow, but they were awesome. Each band member played three or four instruments each and was fantastic.

[radototakely]

I am from Madagascar and I do love sound from the deep America ^^



[zzoppsme]

still gets me in the throat...

[ROCKYMARCIANOXX0]

Fantastic song!!, but giving credit to skins?????????

Sheeeeeeeeeeee-it! your as useful to humanity as a drum kit was to Anne Frank.

[GiinaaR2]

[thecritiqu]

love this song, love this video

[mondsafari]

I'm in such a folky mood - maybe because of this wonderful song

[Dewquix]

Wow, what a song.  I can't stop listening to it. I downloaded the album (legally) and love it.

[sleddog71]

I wish someone would figure out what that song is about, and tell me, so maybe I can listen to somethin' else for a while.

[superdaveXtreme]

@sleddog71 It's about Charles Darwin's fact of evolution, the reality of life and how the through the destruction of ignorance we learn that life is exposed and fragile.

[Sarch1980]

I belive there are 5 male voices ever to have made such an impact on me, theese are 1. Paul Simon 2. Art Garfunkel 3. Ray Lamontange 3. Joe Cocker 4. Van Morrison and 5. Neil Young but damn if The Low Anthem lead singer takes a hold on place number 4! And belive me, many voices compete to get on my list!!

Low Anthem - you guys are already a legend to me.

[Norneeful]

Amazing song! So beautiful and haunting! 5 stars! I listen to this whenever I'm stressed and it does the trick.

[VoldyRoss]

anytime im pissed off or stressed out i just listen to this and it just mellows me out right away. . . its my antidote

[pockad]
