Vampire Weekend - Diplomat's Son

[SandraSolanodlatorre]

I love this song!

[DisinterestInLions]

The keyboardist wrote the lyrics, not Ezra. Ezra's straight.

[Eoinposse]

:)

[megkjed]

WHO CARES IF HE'S GAY? It doesn't make a difference, grow up.

[Edugan25]

ohhhmygossh. this is thebesst song ever!

[RToffler]

I saw these guys Live in NC. This was when the whole show really felt at home. This song was perfection. The show felt bigger than life. It was either that or the pot in the air.

[ninalinkinpark]

M.I.A  :)

[nanea465]

@eniahpets Do you have the video from when they started (the first time); before they stopped playing?

[eniahpets]

@nanea465 This is the video from when they first started to sing the song.

[nanea465]

@eniahpets ahh, thanks!

[gucccibabe07]

chachacahaaaaaa

[EternalPerfektion]

The only person in the band that's homosexual is Rostam Batmanglij (keyboardist). @harmchmed, stop being such a dick.

[spidermansupersexy1]

@EternalPerfektion shut up! rostam is not a homosexual! i acually met him! my uncle works for him! rostam is just like normal!

[EternalPerfektion]

@spidermansupersexy1 You're an idiot. See ya.

[spidermansupersexy1]

@EternalPerfektion FUCK OFF BITCH!

[SiiinginInTheRain]

@spidermansupersexy1 He has come out as gay.

[smileygurl100]

Got tickets for September 7th :)

[DATRUTH6981]

@smileygurl100 lucky ass how much were they????

[smileygurl100]

@DATRUTH6981 40 dollars! Not to bad. Maybe they're not sold out? It's at the Ampitheatre in Toronto

[Devonwerkheiser125]

the singer is not gay, the gay is the other, the keyboardist xD

[harmchmed]

@Devonwerkheiser125 the whole band is gay and so is their music. sounds great though.

[MrMikeyXx]

@MrSuperTevez he doesnt have a wife and kids :L

[MrSuperTevez]

@MrMikeyXx Yah i was a naive little bitch when i wrote that comment. I swear i remember Ezra saying at Glastonbury he would go on webcam to his 'babies' & relatives though...

[rudolph502]

I seriously cannot find a song by vampire weekend which I don't like lol

[venenodamadrugada]

Saudade do Joe Strummer

[raulisanonymous]

This show was so amazing.... SO WORTH EVERYTHING I BAILED ON :p

[maetry65667215123216]

this song is rad, XD, batman really knows how to string these songs together. XD

[LesFleursNicoises]

I have never loved a band this much. Feel like I will DIE if I don't see them live. LOVE THEMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! Am I the only one whose heart beats a thousand times a minute when they hear them? It's crazy.... They're absolutely amazing, seem like nice guys, and great style. I am in love, honest!!!

[LesFleursNicoises]

@LesFleursNicoises ahahaha i was crazy that day

[theycallherkatie]

@LesFleursNicoises they are my favorite band, for sure. I definitely hope you get to see them live! they're incredible live! :)

[foptoplol]

The keyboradest is an awsome singer he sounds jamacan when he sings.

[foptoplol]

the singer isn't gay maybe bie

[foptoplol]

They broke up?yyyyyeeeessss!!!!

[Aricvilla]

the singer is gay Google it

[10enstar]

@Aricvilla The lead singer isn't gay. It's the keyboardist (Rostam). Ezra (lead singer) has a girlfriend he recently broke up with. Rostam wrote the lyrics to this song

[Msishypop]

@10enstar bet they broke up because he was gay....hmm?

[ZangVsLang]

@Msishypop They didn't break up... I saw them live a few nights ago

[Msishypop]

@ZangVsLang I wasn't talking about the band. . .why would a band break up just cus someone is gay??!

[ZangVsLang]

@Msishypop Haha oh I read your comment wrong. Well, weirder things have happened!

[HYPERBUBBLES]

i went to the concert last night! AMAZING

[gemzee82]

I was there! :D

[SouthernPoint52]

the girl on the album cover would be happy...

:)

[Sibra3libra]

is it really about gay people?

[joaoviegasv]

it is. But its nice tough...

[trissillionaire]

@Sibra3libra the keyboard player is gay.

[dodecopus]

@Sibra3libra listen to the lyrics and judge for yourself

[06Misha]

Too much amazingnes! I can hardly take it, it's so unfair to other bands how badass they are.

[warrenjames38]

these guys r awesome and their music gives eargasms lol.

[Sibra3libra]

definetly!

[kmylo4]

@warrenjames38 i hope you're a girl .... :/

[icarolinecaroline]

Such an amazing song.

[deathbitesugarberry]

i l0ve vampire weekend favorite band

[laker2125]

Cant wait for coachella!!! favorite song from the new CD

[Nomenclat12]

It's actually about boarding school.

[defjamv89]

@Nomenclat12 no its not direct quote from Rostam about this song a six-minute dancehall song about a gay relationship

[camelspider99]

wow, u can read a rolling stone magazine. your so enlightended

[Nomenclat12]

"your so enlightended"

[crazypoiu]

this song is about a gay relationship just as I suspected all along!

[andreyofdoom]

how do you know? IT could be from a girl's perspective.

[crazypoiu]

@andreyofdoom Rostam Batmanglij who is gay said so himself in an interview.

[andreyofdoom]

Thanks a lot for the reply I had no idea!

[lordofhawks725]

@andreyofdoom Yeah the keyboardist is gay. He said he wanted this song to be a gay anthem.

[defjamv89]

@lordofhawks725 his that about his side project Discovery's song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend"

[lordofhawks725]

@defjamv89 Yeah, I think you're right, my bad. But Diplomat's song is still about a gay relationship. The lyrics still imply that they had a one night stand.

[defjamv89]

I know I'm a Rainbow Hugger too lol

[wanwomgirl]

I was at this show! :D

[philipsmog]

The chorus especially reminds me of Lily Allen's Smile

[TeneaRhiannon]

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[TheSweetjonny]

[adelechecade]

[spankycorkforker]

[adelechecade]

[katerinaxristopoulou]

my favorite song on Contra!!!

[rwebb61]

Good track, the second band in the past couple of your paying homage to the Maytals with a great song!

[eniahpets]

They lost momentum when they initially didn't start the song off right, so Ezra apologized for messing up the timing.

[lionsscape]

@eniahpets his name is ezra? unique

[xserenii]
