Yeasayer - Sunrise

[piglet177]

insanity



[bobbyprince890]

click 2:49 repeatedly

[lukefrymire]

Did anyone see what synth he's using there?

[judas21]

I saw this when it was on TV and every time I watch it here I am just as blown away as I was then. That quality is rare.

[hathor008]

20 persons just missed the button!

[xingtheking]

0:50 The rarely seen audiogasm.

[jonwonderpants]

It's all about the syncopation. These guys have got it the fuck down. Nice beats, guys!

[deserare23]

Yea it started with a stumble how i fell in love with this song <3 ^___^

[Deaklon]

This is miles better than the album version. And that was awesome enough! Love it!

[xeshtaed]

Haha, I love the top comment "the Indian is beautiful" so matter of fact. But yes he is totally beautiful. Indians represent! This is one of my favourite songs of theirs, what a good fucking band, look at Ira go! And Chris is going crazy like a possessed preacher.

[denisgianne]

i like it... and click in 'like' button

[ann03071874]

20 absolute fucking idiots pressed dislike. They must be deaf and blind. THAT IS YOUR ONLY EXCUSE!

[xingtheking]

First time seeing such a powerful phonorgasm

[PatD1558]

0:30, he has that expression on his face which says,

"Yea, that just happened"

[cjpugliese]

That bass line... Damn

[c00p312]

childish gambino hot as a flamin cheeto

[adamania]

I'm confused. How is this lineup different from the current one? I know things have changed. But can somebody please map it all out for me?

[avedic]

@adamania the only difference is that the excellent drummer you see here is no longer with the band. creative differences apparently.

[DrVeloche]

Studio version is very defferent than live

[xvehement]

the drummer freakin' rocks

[SanaLoveCookies]

Saw this performance the first time yesterday on a german culture station and I was like: WTF is this !? indescribable and unique! I love it... and now I go to a record store and buy the albums! (hope my english is well)

[RobDagger]

@SanaLoveCookies lol genau da hab ichs gestern auch zum ersten mal gesehn :-D hatte erst panik weil ich mittendrin reingezappt hab und ich den moderator am ende nicht verstanden hatte wer das war...aber es stand gott sei dank im videotext :-D

[SanaLoveCookies]

@RobDagger Wie geil! Genau wie bei mir! :)

[BrianAD80]

amazing dirty awesome bass

[porcupinewhisperer]

19 naysayers 

[porcupinewhisperer]

The indian is awesome!

[Numiful]

The Indian guy is

S E X Y

I'd butter his biscuits with mayonnaise.

[iamcraaazy93]

@Numiful who puts mayonnaise on biscuits!

[Numiful]

@iamcraaazy93 You're right.

[Alchemistbm]

This song felt like 10 minutes to me.

[cybershootist]

They sound great and look stoned -awesome!

[Galoag2012]

Jesus playing bass?

[subucni7728]

yes! more!

[jmlimabr]

awesome beats

[griskrossaren]

the indian is beautiful

[subomar]

@griskrossaren got to party with them last night.

[griskrossaren]

@subomar Did you smooch him?  : ]

[subomar]

@griskrossaren hell no. im not gay. he was pretty chill though.

[griskrossaren]

@subomar ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

[InfinityQuietly]

I need to trip with them. I bet they have some serious acid.

[choklitbar]

This performance was on my birthday.. ^_^

[nobstewartcom]

Wow! Whit a performance!

[thatguy203]

Their bassist at about 1:55.... Holy crap



[xthaxheistx]

i wish i was there. it sound even more amazing live... one of the greatest bands of all time. such cool guys

[xio9192]

i love how all of them are so into their music. it's inspirational.

[MarleySaysRelax]

"Childish Gambino. Hot as a flaming cheeto.

Tighter than baby speedos. I'm shifting another kilo."

- childish

[19lilballerina92]

I. Love. This. How they look doesnt matter... they're making beautiful, beautiful music and played an AMAZING live show at Cap Hill Block Party last year... I cant wait to see them again this year at Sasquatch!!!!!!!! One of my favorite bands of all time. watch their take-away show with la blogotheque (tightrope and 2080), talk about pure joy and love...

[exactlyvague]

Fretless bass for the win!!

[abaracudagirl]

The singer looks like he's going to fall over half of the time, like he has a muscular disorder or something. He needs to cut it out.

[Unison8]

This is real creative, original music. Listen up people.

[MarcoOrBust]

the singer is trying way to hard to be like david byrne, except this band is no where near the tHs

[hushedwun1234]

omg this is electric

[liviamarini]

BUT IN THE END... I'M PAPER, I'M PAPER, I'M PAPER, YOU'RE GLUE, I GET STUCK ON YOU, I GET STUCK ON YOU, I GET STUCK ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

[rkay47]

the percussion in this gets me every time

turn up your speakers and enjoy........

[zthaniqks]

does anyone know which bass guitar that is?

[9804216]

@zthaniqks G&L fretless

[zthaniqks]

@9804216 thanks!

[michaellimbaugh]

I haven't been sure I wanted to admit I like these guys, even to myself....but then I read these comments ! I AM A FAN now !

[Ausrinka]

Whenever I'm watching this video I can't take my eyes of it.So deep and vibrant.

[superhadroncollider]

the energy is so vibrant! Cold breeze, night time and 'the sunrise', perfect way to ascend to a higher plane :)

[protopotato]

that indian dude is awsome. the whole band is awesome. this performance is especially amazing.

[the2ndmills]

i fuckin hate that indian dude!!!!!!!!

[NaughtyBwoi]

@the2ndmills why?



[Flapjackzzz]

@the2ndmills he fuckin hates you too!

[porcupinewhisperer]

@the2ndmills What makes you hate him?

[the2ndmills]

@porcupinewhisperer actually I don't like any of these guys, they seem mostly like pretentious williamsburg douchebags with stupid on-stage affectations, but that dude that I pointed out seems to be the worst of the bunch. I do like some of their songs, nevertheless. does that do it for you?

[porcupinewhisperer]

@the2ndmills Ok, thanks for your explanation:) 

[MrJollyballs3000]

@the2ndmills If you don't like them, then why the hell are you here?

[the2ndmills]

@MrJollyballs3000 their music is good - the drummer and the bassist don't really bother me, but the singer and keyboardist kind of irritate me, especially the keyboardist.

[Unison8]

@the2ndmills are you obsessed with their image? If it's image and no substance you're looking for, may I turn you onto Rebecca Black - Friday. I like the fact that they're really into their music and don't give a f*ck about what they look like when they're playing it.

[zigzigzig]

Fucking cool. Great music!

[MrSimonster84]

WOW, I think these guys are at serious risk of disappearing up their own arses any second!

[EmoEvan4]

its so great to see a band actually enjoy and believe in what they are playing.

[garagerawk27]

sounds like it's 1984 all over again. If I didn't know any better I'd swear this was an early inxs song.

[biovitalWbutelce]

amazing

[electrogeisha]

3rd minute - AMAZING....... !!!!

[taylorrdawgg]

yeah he moves weird, but because this song is so amazing he makes it okay.

[Justinapfel]

Sounds like a 21st century genesis

[grasping4the]

His voice is very original. Excellent band.

[suirammae]

@Fistington01 i think you fist yourself to lady gaga too much

[Fistington01]

@suirammae i think ur a faggot

[spracketskooch]

I move sorta like that when I'm playing music. It has something to do with moving to the real rhythm of the song, rather than just nodding your head to the on beat.

[wdaniellemyers]

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­H.

[guitarpope]

Much better than the recorded version.

[tfawcett264]

They're sure high off of their own music

[SydBareass]

@tfawcett264 If you don't get high off your own music, you shouldn't be making it. Just sayin...

[fifeslife]

The lead singer looks like either Conan Obrein or the gay red head dude from Modern Family! Kick ass performance

[Sergio0Oo]

its a shame that this drumer is no longer in the band... insane performance of yeasayer

[loniousmonk]

I have trouble understanding the appeal of 4 minutes of sitting on the same chord

[JR1840]

@loniousmonk snob, go listen to some bop, you'll get 1000 chords in four minutes

[MattHatter]

What a band!  First off, these guys get immediate credit for being THAT into their music. HOWEVER, there is still that small element that all bands have these days, that element of just trying TOO hard. But that vocal scat that begins at 2:54 is AWESOME.

[darkmessiahnz]

Man the intro is really simple but it's so epic.

[thumbs317]

fucking hipsters....

[lizel058]

love at first sight :D now one of my all time favourite bands :)

[vaf88]

these guys arent that awesome what the hell are the doing at 3:00

[darkmessiahnz]

@vaf88 Yeah man that bit is weird as haha!!!

[MsZore]

beginning is wonderfull

[simonjajames]

for real, passionate and really unique, nice guys too, i passed the time with the guitarist and drummer at proud galleries, camden

[indieLietuva]

THEY ARE AMAZING

[tatanosmusic1125]

He looks like he go in the sunrise.

[retrojerker93]

epic performua

[biscuitman54731]

not down with the singer's spastic movements. I understand it's his form of stage presence, I just think it's so artificial. It doesn't seem like he's REALLY into the music, he's just doing something so he's not all awkward standing up there singing. like the singer from Phoenix in their NPR performance (awesome performance, hilariously awkward).

[BlueHandDan]

He moves like Conan O'Brien

[aaronegginton]

@BlueHandDan only i may dance

[pr0pr0]

@BlueHandDan no, you're only saying that because he kinda resembles him.

he moves like tom green.

[dgwsgedszg]

@BlueHandDan LOL

[DrivinMissDaisy79]

Ho...hooooooooooo....niet vallen...

[Cherelmakesmusic]

@DrivinMissDaisy79 Hahahahaha

[pureecstasy]

his spasms are PRICELESS.

could love a man like that, really



[nanoymaru8690]

veo claras influencias de the verve, y eso me encanta! :D

[britt842010]

it mst be hard to perform a song like this in front of a big adience

[chugginhemlock]

BEAST performance

[MarcoEsquand0las]

THis soundss kkinda like the KILLERS LOL

[mccthug]

@MarcoEsquand0las Ew... Take that back

[MeatyCockandBallz]

@MarcoEsquand0las You wish, asshole!

[Eranmane]

@MeatyCockandBallz and @mccthug chill, why do you care so much what somebody thinks about the song? :|

[tommason1984]

Love this track, love Yeasayer

[dgivy]

is it just me, or does the lead singer look really great with a beard! ;) Not to mention the fact that this performance kicks arse!!! they have been ROCKING my world lately!

[antikmart]

This band is one of the few that completely obliterates their recorded stuff during every live performance. One of the best live bands out there today!

[avedic]

i love how they always show a camera shot from behind the heads of the other bands on Jool's show. it's like the other bands are watching this thinking "wow...my music seems so pointless now..."

[sugaa]

@avedic ikrrrrrrrrrrr.

[avedic]

i love his stage movements. it's as if david byrne was walking around drunk thinking he was bumping into ghosts and getting all agitated about it.

they really are such a great band. they have that metaphysical electro shimmer but with a solid funky human groove as a foundation

[HouseofChicken]

fretless bass SKILLZ!!

[blackandwhite445]

if weird al yank, jack white and darwin deez had a baby...hello mr bass man

[mono1655]

@blackandwhite445 = Ron Jeremy,bass player

[MidianBreed]

@blackandwhite445 haha

[HouseofChicken]

fretless bass SKILLZ

[JR1840]

david byrne moves

[muzikizlife10]

These guys are so visceral. Love the drummers choice of beats and the singer's movements. Great lyrics too.

[Krelient]

I think the bassist was styled by Weird Al Yankovic

[JR1840]

@Krelient and they guys from fubar

[farfigneugan42]

almost kinda channeling Rusted Root imo

[rosscobosco]

they can play! drummers t-shirt is a beaut tho

[hitppohiman]

Almost reminds me of pink floyd. Especially his voice in the beginning.

[TheMchristofi]

these guys are a live band. I'd never heard of them and I caught the tail end of their set supporting bat for lashes last year...they were so amazing I went back the next night.

what i love about them is how much they enjoy playing!

[rast123456789]

its crazy the bass player completly changed his look

[lesjeunes11]

Yeasayer live are incredible.

[rast123456789]

@lesjeunes11 omg i know i just saw them in alanta and it blew my freakin mind!!!!!

[jeckeljoan]

I feel Really bad about not going to the back lot of the venue to talk to them and take pictures now.

[jeckeljoan]

I love his Stage Presence. Even better in person.

[SoFarAreWe]

best bands are from the U.S.!!!

[czechkrzysiek]

@SoFarAreWe as well as the worse!

[sparkman84]

That fretless bass is awesome.

[nickdubya1215]

This video and song are great even though they seem to be tripping hard on something. haha

[robinheil]

TO ALL THE HATERS IN THE COMMENTS: start the video and then open up a new window so that you can only hear the music.

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

it's nice to see performers enjoy their performances in a deep way!

[olehh1]

hipsters :p  I liked it :)

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

bassist- "am i jewish? no, why would you think that?"

[TheDinnerTimeBoys]

his faux-passion is almost as annoying as that time he shut down the Ghostbusters' reactor with a court order

[wojtas8989]

@principle549 why should they? There is a plug in mozzila for downloading mp3 from youtube. So nobody need ur shit sites

[googerhoopla]

amazing song but i agree lame indie posturing, only the keyboardist looks like he did'nt go along with the whole gimmick

[SCROTUMvalueMEAL]

"apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, got the whole club lookin' at herrrrrrr"

[SCROTUMvalueMEAL]

better heard than seen. man, i fucking love their music. but this whole "acting like queers for the sake of looking like queers" indie posturing (not gay bashing, by the way) kinda puts me off. it's really unnecessary and comes off disingenuous. i mean, black leather boots are not good for drumming, so it's clearly a fashion choice. what does that say about the rest of the performance?

[emporerm]

READING Festival! 2 days. I count the minutes

[Aoibhgreine123]

I'm going to see them live tomorrow... I can't wait!

[itmslove]

first heard this from childish gambinos sunrise song and had to find it. fucking amazing.

[fattirevsbud]

the singer's move remind me a Lot of Talking head's singer (watch once in a life time)...

love this band and gonna cover this song

[joobae]

i love how he freaks out after pressing the button of harmony

i also love 2:41 when he smashes the drum thingie

[avedic]

@joobae

haha..the button of harmony. yes, that little gospel oooooh thing is something i must own...

[TheBuzzCatt]

...wish i was as amazed with this band as they are with themselves.

...way too cool for the fool.

[SuperAlexander1001]

Looking forward to seeing these guys at Leeds festival later this month :)

[otischarlie]

i like the music, but most pretentious band i think ive ever seen

[SunshineMints]

i've been searching forever for this song. heard it in my dance class and alas, i have finally found it! i don't know why people are criticizing them for possibly being "hipsters"; who cares as long as the music's awesome? besides, i find this far more appealing than a lot of other supposed "hipster" bands.

[StandardofPurity]

@SunshineMints People just like to clump music they can't access or appreciate into this stupid label called "hipster music". Honestly, that label encompasses some of the best bands I have ever heard, Yeasayer, Wild Beasts, Local Natives, Grizzly Bear, all tracked as "hipster" shit, but at the same time the people who comment and only say things like "This is just stupid hipster music" have never offered me anything better to listen to. But I agree with you

[bigmac364]

It's nice to see musicians who aren't afraid to just get sucked into when they play live. They don't give a fuck if they look ridiculous, they play with passion.

[EvaaEvitaa]

@bigmac364 totally agree, I love watching them!

[FoldingSunrise]

@bigmac364 If you dig that check out Terrible Love live by The National... if you dont mind support Vevo that is.

[suirammae]

@bigmac364 so true. commercialism has drained all possibility of improv from performances

[Fistington01]

@suirammae your a faggot

[Lonelybushes]

The singer looks like he is having a heart attack!

[clooky04]

the singer looks like geoff from the reality tv sho "ace of cakes". he sounds like boy george. the bassist certainly looks like wierd al. also i think benjkris's comment with 44 thumbs ups was actually kind of stupid ....

[CamiloVids]

what the fuck just happened? i literally just zoned into this video like a zombie. their so fuckin good.

[1andonly000]

looky looky there's Weird Al Yankovic on bass... haha!

(I know it isn't him.. before anyone starts getting on my back)
