Blackbird Raum - Honey In The Hair

[elfnwally]

Take it from the Mom of one of the members of this band, it's the saw! Mars is a terrific musician.

[elfnwally]

when they started out, Mars played the saw, then switched to the mandolin

[TheLynchtOwls]

what is that lovely, eerie high pitched wavering instrument??

i fell in love with a sound i'm unsure of how to recreate!

it's like a phantom whistling it's sorrow.

[MrFishsleeptoo]

@TheLynchtOwls It's a saw. Yup, the thing you cut wood with. You play the smooth edge with a violin bow and bend the saw blade to get different pitches.

[TheLynchtOwls]

@MrFishsleeptoo my mind is BLOWN.

i've had this lovely instrument for years and have been ignorant of it's capabilities.

thank you for solving this mystery. i'm going to the shed.

[creamedrubys]

@TheLynchtOwls whoever said its a saw is retarded ive seen em live hella times they never use saws they use mandolins, washboards, violins, homemade bases, banjos, and a organ

[TheLynchtOwls]

@creamedrubys but none of those instruments can make that lovely sound... maybe some type of electric violin using a lot of vibrato, but they are an acoustic band.

[hoopla5117]

@TheLynchtOwls Theremin?

[thevingipsaybasterd4]

were gyipos

[Quinnzical]

This is the kind of song you can listen to over and over again and never tire of it.

[jesustokesxx]

@Quinnzical exactly right

[rachelmortis]

My friend and I danced in a circle in front of them once in Santa Cruz..

then we bought CD's.

[iwasthrashed]

This song makes me want to pour beer all over everything

[whitewiddoww]

one of these fools just got arrested in san fran for stealing sex toys

[Lysergicify]

@whitewiddoww That's the coolest thing anyone could ever get arrested for.

[creamedrubys]

@whitewiddoww yup it was based on a joke that went bad

[KAPerHas]

tu powinno byc zamiast fajne- zajebiste

[BrentleChaos]

i think i saw these fuckers in New Orleans earlier this year...playing in the French Quarter. if it wasn't them, it was a group that looked just like them ha.

[theseatoachisel]

@BrentleChaos Was it around May?  Could it have been Drunk Armstrong?

[anlcntrox]

Please keep making music!!!!!!

[82karlie]

yeah. fucken good shit

[markushayden]

love it, amazing



[CodeOuch]

Great tune.... but I honestly think it would sound better without the female vocals.

[michaelglass00]

if you like blackbird raum you might like the homeless people, they are another great band.

[Cappy033]

i wanna learn how to play the saw. wicked stuff mahn!

[kingsatcrime]

fuckin' hippies

[Mariusb1989]

hey what does the word "Raum" means in german? i cant find anything.

btw: veryvery impressive band!

[84winston19]

@Mariusb1989 a living room (literal); a space occupied by something alive. ie fish tank. In its mythical context it is a demon who takes the form of a crow

[reptiskate]

Does anyone have any idea what key this is in? I really want to do a cover of it and I just can't seem to get the melody right

[84winston19]

@reptiskate Cminor/Eb major. verse- Cminor- Gminor-Fminor-Cminor. Outro- Eb Major-BbMajor-CminorX2. The interlude is cminor to g minor back to cminor (at least those chords are implied by his vocals and accordion

[reptiskate]

@84winston19

Thanks man!

[sexysudaka]

Gm bonita tonalidad <3

[mikeadever]

youre an idiot. real punk like green day? 

[GlitterBug923]

Someone tell me where I can download this?

[GoxRecords]

Hey! my record label Go Records! Just put out a split with Hail Seizures and Blackbird Raum! goxrecords. bigcartel. com

[RinzMD]

@whitewiddoww Yer a tool.

[whitewiddoww]

the idea that punk is at all tied to folk is a disgrace, folk is a music of a countries culture, while punk is more of a fashion statement, think about it do you have respect for someone who is over the age of 30 and is punk.

[anlcntrox]

@whitewiddoww Moron.

[Clerks0]

@whitewiddoww I don't even think you know what punk is, man.

[mikeadever]

@whitewiddoww actually punk rock was heavily influenced by anti establishment folk music of the 60s you idiot.

[whitewiddoww]

@mikeadever so what you are saying is that punk is a bastardization of folk, that doesnt really help your argument, if u are gonna listen to punk then u might as well listen to real punk like green day, i think folk music is more punkrock then punk rock itself

[danah2008]

@whitewiddoww hahaha.

[TrixiePickles]

@whitewiddoww HAHAHA. "real punk like Green Day"?! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[whitewiddoww]

@deathnote62 way to copy wikopedia, get out of here with your biased opinions

[AdultManBaby]

@whitewiddoww Wikipedia*

[holdthegovernment]

@whitewiddoww Yes. His name is Fat Mike

[jimbo25608]

[elfnwally]

@jimbo25608 Yes, all of their music is original.

[redriverfloyd]

If you guys are still around, COME TO PITTSBURGH!!!

[Bacchante]

Wonderful stuff, guys!

[RottenRevenge]

How about stop talking and listen to the music. Everything that is, is, and everything it ever will be...

[justinnakedbanker]

@ReadThisAndGFYS You make yourself sound more and more ridiculous every time you talk.

[justinnakedbanker]

@ReadThisAndGFYS are you kidding me dude, just shut up and stop hating.

[justinnakedbanker]

@ReadThisAndGFYS dude who cares if you do drugs does that make you less of a human being?

[justinnakedbanker]

@ReadThisAndGFYS Thats your opinion keep it to yourself

[drugaddictsfix]

@ReadThisAndGFYS (: Yeah well your a fucking idiot that doesnt have good taste in music. Go listen to your radio.

[flipsk8101202]

I would rather listen to this through a blown speaker hooked up to a horses asshole for the sound to be amplified.. you damn hippies! i dont give a flying fuck what you hippies have to say.. so im going to end this nicely...

fuck you and have a nice day

[MrJamesustariz]

@flipsk8101202

are u the same guy who post this comment every were cause i swear i read this comment before....

[themanclaw2]

@flipsk8101202 I can't be bothered by your ignorance, but I'm still trying to figure out why you would expend your energy to hate something that is not to your taste yet affects only the people who choose to enjoy it.

[justinnakedbanker]

@flipsk8101202 Dude your a fucking fag

[thatswhatscottsaid]

any one know the chords for the accordion part oft thissss?

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

Look at this... its the current trend in the "anarchist scene", this is like a 50 year progression from Bob Dylan.

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

a hairy bunch they be!

[wwillwalker93]

y'all like this? Listen to The Hail Seizures!

[kesnar1r]

@wwillwalker93 The hail seizures have the same "problem" with RAUM that they all sing together...but while in RAUM you can bear it...in hail seizures it's unbearable...IMO

[isawhale]

@wwillwalker93

the hail seizures such a good band.

[TheHanarchy]

@wwillwalker93 I see those guys at Seattle folklife every year. :D

They're incredible, especially when your standing just a couple feet away from them. The energy's out of this world.

[wwillwalker93]

@TheHanarchy I find they're better the closer you are

[freddiecabral]

Those hair farmers are pretty good, eh?

[foodstamps4me]

[DaveyJones1111]

I never thought I'd like the sound of a theremin until I heard this track. Wonderful!

[suttbuttwhat]

this is sick! ill need to find you guys in santa cruz!

[psytopsy]

Best enjoyed under the influence of alcohol.

[STUTTERINGISSEXY]

i like it i like it very much

[ruukaoz]

brings the drinking spirit well enough! Bigup! :D

[patronic3]

it would be better to change the theremin for a violin

[missblahface]

@patronic3 Not a 100% sure but I think she plays a hand saw , not a theremin.

[psytopsy]

Its a bowed saw not a theremin

[wartree]
