[JoeDavies69]

CHARLES HAMILTON - SUN MUSIC

[MrScoot27]

This song is really great when you´re high. 

[0000AllFitness0000]

could this band possibly be any cooler, lol

[mikeweckstein]

@0000AllFitness0000 Impossible. Coolness overload. System error. Beeeeep.

[synapsekiller17]

Apparently staring at the sun will make you pop positive for acid..

[superdupertyson]

@synapsekiller17 Haha this is true, was at a party with some guy that had a painting smashed over his head, tripping on acid and staring at the sun..

[MetalMachineMayhem]

the first time i saw them was on 6/6/06 awesome show! Crazy long time ago....

[DaEdsta]

I think I found a new temporary favorite band.

[peppersJF]

Hey everyone, I just uploaded a new song for my solo project Glacierbrain called 'Polka'. Tv on the Radio were a big influence in writing this song so if you want to support some unsigned music I'd really appreciate it if you'd give it a listen.

Cheers

Glacierbrain

[holdyourbreath717]

gerard wasnt even in the band yet when this song was recorded...

[ZB124]

@holdyourbreath717 shhhhhhhh just let them have this ;)

[holdyourbreath717]

@ZB124 fine. either way, this song is kinda perfect.

[Uzzie101]

@utookmine2x not really

[LMCMInterloper]

Or as I like to call this song, "The Terrorist Song".

[impossiblevampire]

He died of lung cancer... RIP GERARD SMITH

[Stefy910299]

Meraviglioso pezzo.

[Titanicrox22]

what? what happened to him?

[cindynunyun]

Dude. I never heard until now. You will be terribly missed. What an amazing bassist. Talk about RHYTHM!!!! This song brings back the best of times for me. Even times that happened before the song came out. It is the soundtrack to my past. Thanks so much for sharing all you had with us. We are very grateful for your musical genius.

[Bonkatronicks]

This always makes me look back at 09 in summer lol so warm! Skate all day and go home and eat for the rest of the year lol

[Grohl85]

[robwhite24]

@MrBackfrommars ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[ManicDtheNomad]

R.I.P Gerard.

[harly224]

entourage made me listen too it. thank you entourage

[little9221]

It's art. That means it is about what ever you take from it. :eddie vedder when asked about yellow ledbetter

[kristinm2]

I personally believe this song is about sex. Im pretty sure it is. Listen to the words very closely. I might just have a filthy mind haha.

[inrussiatubeviewsyou]

@kristinm2 It's about death

[benzineone]

whats this song about????

[nolin335]

i don't wanna be a pain in the ass but i herd this on the weed report ep 16 fuckin awsome

[spartsy]

I hate to see songs like this come on the radio, and im sitting there nodding to the beat and nobody has heard of it around me

[inrussiatubeviewsyou]

@spartsy Way to be an obvious fucking hipster.

[bornflippy1]

how very hipster of you to use the word hipster to describe someone you disagree with..instead of the labels that society has laid out for you to use why don't you come up with something on your own..why not just blast him with a hey fucko! you suck or man you're a douchebag! anything but hipster and it all says the same thing ..hipsters don't even exist anymore..everything is out there..and no ones heard half of it...leave the guy alone if he wants to choose this band as his own musical secret

[CannibalVegetarian]

@bornflippy1 You seem more mad about the word hipster being used in general. Half your argument is saying to use other insults besides hipster. Is the term hipster too mainstream for you?

[bornflippy1]

@CannibalVegetarian Muhahahahahah I am not mad bro!

[CerebrateHyatt]

This is the most straight-forword music video I ever seen from them.

[amatoanima]

This song, although it may refer to death, is sex. I am quite moved by how it moves...

[IamFondOfYourPussy]

R.I.P Ryan Dunn

[starfire1667]

bands like these are supposed to be noticed around the world!!!

[derpityderpderpDUR]

R.I.P Gerard Smith.

[xXsilencXx60]

Requiescat in pace :'(

[DHermanEsq]

@xXsilencXx60 Are you just catching on the the "Requiescat" trend, or do you really mean it. I want to meet the person that decided that phrase was cool again. Must be a dead language/philosophy major. "Anima eius et animae omnium fidelium defunctorum per Dei misericordiam requiescant in pace" may be more appropriate.

[xXsilencXx60]

@DHermanEsq ssorry i'm french i don't understand and i have say: requiescat in pace beacose it's in assassin's creed and it's RIP...

[johnboykfc]

Yoh. RIP Gerard!

Hearts and minds reach out. Peace my man!

[DemonicH8]

it brings me good memories ahh

[alejandrosatanista]

cantan de pkm !! l..l

[Gsitz89]

This is such a sick ass song, love it....

[stemstar]

i fucking love this song!

[packleader1215]

I first heard this on Entourage

[oceancampos]

El Super Clasico !!!

[stepitoutkid]

charles hamilton did this sample justice

[chittyroo]

my brains throbbing from joy,like no shit.

[InterEDGE]

AMAZING LYRICS

[laische]

the only proper way to listen to this song is LOUD.

[Timmixcore]

The lead singer reminds me of Kanye West only better.

[motunrolarulz]

@Timmixcore I don't understand. To me he's nothing like Kanye, haha :)

[Timmixcore]

@motunrolarulz Hah well not in terms of songwriting or lyrical content, but he sort of looks and moves similar.

[motunrolarulz]

@Timmixcore Lol, fair enough

[joolsduane]

@Timmixcore Yes, they are both black.

[motunrolarulz]

@Timmixcore And miles better.

[lu2x4ah]

genius... chilling!

[marko27angus]

muy,muy buena

[YoungChalk]

Saw them at sound academy.......Fucking killed it !!! thanks gerard you'll be missed.

[DLT0807]

i bet a lot of us here wishes we were the guy playin' at 0:31; he might not have been an official member of the band at this point but he was still one of the guys providing the support on tour early on...

i've seen TVOTR four times; even for a guy that always hides away in the back of the stage behind tunde, kyp, dave, and jaleel, my friends and i always recognized him; thank you, gerard, for having been a part of changing the way i listen to music

[AllegroRubato]

RIP Gerard Smith. You won't be forgotten. These incredible songs will forever stand as a testament to your talent.

[Omgberto]

@AllegroRubato I agree. It's impossible for me to understand how the band and his family and friends felt, but when I listen to this I feel deeply saddened yet happy that he made something so great before he passed. Also, I'm verbose.

[leperchaunlad]

@joshburg123 He passed away from lung cancer on wednseday

[thinkforasecond]

Gerard Smith, you will be missed. Thank you.

[leperchaunlad]

God i just found these guys, and i am blown away by every track i listen to. So sad they just lost their bass player, buts im sure he's watchin over them now. R.I.P. Gerard Smith

[joshburg123]

@leperchaunlad whats happened to the base player ?

[humanshieldchorus]

listen to that bass as well, fucking class rip buddy

[mshighconcept]

I first heard this on Entourage and have been hooked ever since. So sorry about Gerald Smith's death. May he continue to be blessed.

[avzett]

RIP Gerald Smith. Thank you for your music.

[winestaindcarpet88]

R.I.P can't even imagine what the band is going through right now

[MrLexanderluther1986]

This is the song that got me hooked in '04. The writing here, is AMAZING. Been a die hard fan ever since. R.I.P. Gerard Smith! Never got to see them live :( what an experience that would've been...

[beeblebronx]

WTF is this? Finally, good unknown music again? I'm terrified right after the first 5 seconds ...

[mannyblacque]

this is the song that made me a TV on the Radio fan.

RIP Gerard Smith :*(

[IIHazel]

Psychedelic

[Faranak79]

REST IN PEACE GERARD ALL THE WAY FROM IRAN ....... YOU WILL BE MISSED.....روحت شاد

[radiohedge1]

Heart broken over the death of Gerard.

[DarKWolfO]

I cant belive it!! RIP Gerard u.u

[ryvette64]

R.I.P. Gerard Smith.

[KOSMICKEN09]

@clevelandsteamer11 how did he get lung cancer so young did he smoke 5 packs a day or something..

[codifornia]

[sweetesttaboo2k]

R.I.P Gerard Smith

[theboyfrom]

[roadhouse86]

What a sad day, his bass fit in everywhere on these songs. RIP.

[alexgillespie]

RIP Gerard Smith

[interstroked]

RIP gerard smith

[TutKatan]

@interstroked Fuck, I knew he had cancer but I didn't know, I feel so bad. RIP, He was great.

[elmariachiterry]

wow. you kindof have to be high to like this. hmmmm. thumbs up. i could elaborate about the lack of musicianship in a lot of popular bands that no amount of chemical supplements could overcome. or how dumbed down we have become. we haven't, actually. disco duck was a hit. music+money=stupid crap. this, however, is good. and i am high. totally irrelevent.

[LavishLila]

Whose the gal in this? She sounds a bit like the singer from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs but I don't see a name mentioned anywhere on the internet and I can't really tell.:B

[CaptianBadKid]

Best band I've seen live EVER. They had so much life and were so into it, it was so amazing <3

[Jynxkid94]

@williamhu im pretty high :b this is some brilliant shit..

[NormaJe4n]

WoW, never heard this band before. Nice stuff!

[kaylablchr91]

i love this song t.v. on the radio is the best!!!! <3

[variously2]

that was a song? i kept waiting for it to break and go but the whole time it sounded like a leading up to...up to mention constantly repeated lyrics.

[Avusmalus]

@variously2 well some people (including me) like that....it let you like waiting for this "break".... i think it's a great song...

[thedoobieman5]

I think I just found a new band I'll enjoy listening to

[kaatyconti]

Jimi Hendrix would have approved.

[millionsinprizes]

That is fucking hot

[rackopablo]

aint all that

[Flexmet]

I cannot fathom why 32 people would not like this!



[cygarina]

<3



[FartNuggetification]

balls have been tripped.

[heisenberg1995]

heard this on entourage great fuckin show and great FUCKING SONG

[Missivylady]

sexy lyrics

[nkennyish]

Video taped off a tv adds to the videos effect.

[AnalieSkywind]

i like this. It's the type of stuff you fall into when you don't wanna think, just sink into the music and let it envelop you.

[lesshastemorespeed]

epic!

get well soon Gerard Smith.. his killer bass line sends shivers down my spine..

:)

[CircleMemories]

reminds me a tad of radiohead... love both bands

[vveapon]

@CircleMemories i thought the same thing just now.. ive seen this many times before. lol.. but saying they are both greaat bands is a bit of an understatement haha =)

[Monteez37]

it sounds like something is going to drop, but nope

[BatALash]

@Monteez37 Indeed. Methinks the song would be so much better with one.

[kowtpr187]

listen to peter gabriel and this reminds me of it totally(vocals)......

[kowtpr187]

Does anyone else think the voice reminds you of peter gabriel?

[ZRN959]

@kowtpr187 I hear more "Tainted Love"

[kowtpr187]

@ZRN959 not the melody, but the style...the way the vocals are layered and such...I listened to alot of old peter gabriel and I can see a similarity(which comes with any artist)....today I also realized the vocalist from Arcade Fire resembles Bruce Springstein.(Neon bible album)

[dkallisti]

@kowtpr187 and what's your point? people have influences from experiences, things they enjoy, people they admire, etc. weird, ain't it?

[kowtpr187]

yup!

[Fabregasbeatsall]

I'd advise you not to stare at the sun... I tried it and now i'm blind. Great.

[ZakBaldwin]

@Fabregasbeatsall Then how did you manage to type that without mistakes?

[Fabregasbeatsall]

@ZakBaldwin my guide dog can type.. duh.

[landstrom27]

@Fabregasbeatsall That sucks. Don't sew the band.

[TheAfroGerman]

really great!

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

first time seeing this, kick-ass video! favorited.

[juxli125]

i dont know why but this song brings good old memories back ..

[Lex17661]

28 people have never stared at the sun i guess lol

[FadedSnipe420]

<3 this song 

[FootballFanatic141]

after listening to the first five seconds of this song, i couldnt care if it turned into justin beiber or kesha, i was already in love

[Lex17661]

@FootballFanatic141 if it changed from this fantastic song to a justin beiber song, (or even kesha for that matter), ide probably hurl my computer through the office window for having such a wonderful song be spoiled by that garbage. lol

[Levination]

[lanaghan12]

@Levination yea me and my dude freaked in the middle of it for like 20 minutes it was fucking hilarious tho lmao thanks for the tip bro im gonna try that shit next time
