[LanceMaxx]

Thumbs if you've replayed this song more than the 22nd time.

[newtonruth]

[mister9a]

The singer sounds so much like the magnetic fields' singer in this song it's crazy

[redbullstatus]

[davidegimondo]

this song represents me

[R193L1]

i relate.. 

[McLedzep]

This is basically my new bright eyes, for some reason.

[ncreep]

still good for summer night.

[clemdarlingmusic]

Meric Long's such an amazing songwriter. No one else makes music like this.

I've actually been trying my hand at songwriting. I just put a new music video up on my channel. If any of you have the time I'd love to hear what you think of it. Thanks!

[markdonat]

is that meric's child?

[Vurner01]

this music is the best to get relaxed <3

[seqziKillerrr]

Fuck yeah it is!

[kickflip4201]

this is a great song man

[ichewtoast111]

They got laid after this concert....All of them. 

[monkeywren8]

@ichewtoast111 what are you trying to get like 500 likes? keep going brotha

[rem0rt]

its better if they wont sing all the time. music is good, but vocals turn it to just an indie-pop

[spaceydecember]

I like Fables too.

[HairFIip]

Is that his kid? Because if it is, she's so cute!

[timscott61495]

"Convinced myself there's no one better." Sigh...yes, I did.

[thilla007]

Naaaagyon odarak....

[1234lillie]

aww i adore this song

[the3palongboarders]

@Ragnerokr agreed

[YoureTerribl]

wow the girl he's referring to sounds like a bitch, Tell it to her Meric.

[ragnerokr]

longboarding <3

[Harxelithn]

Generally I'm not a big fan of acoustic in bands, but he does it really well in his songs.

[BreakingDC]

longboarding and skaters unite.

[EminentLongboarding]

@BreakingDC couldnt have said it any better!

[thepeoplessoldier]

@BreakingDC all things have a purpose though

[firstdotlast]

fuck you the fucking dodo s you suck, so like yeah...fuck, you

[1N5iGN1a]

When i was inlove with the girl of my dreams. id play the first part,,,,and she left me 2 months ago...i now play the 2nd part only

[silverxsparkle]

@1N5iGN1a

Same situation, except right now, it's only the first part. And a he.

[Skwurlman]

Is the last part of the lyrics out of the point of view from the girl? It seems like a weird twist if it's not...

[emumoohook]

this song makes me smile : )

[Emmanueldehemptinne]

yeaaah this in your ears when skating on a sunny sunday spot is just fabulous

[ThinkLongboard]

@Emmanueldehemptinne :)

[AyamesLilSis]

the dodos are cooly cool lol

[damoleburrowed]

How do people not know about these guys?

[koala76er]

@damoleburrowed because they are too busy listening to crappy music on Q102

[Imogley1234]

good song

[BUZZUBUZZU]

[ztarrfect]

[232cooldude232]

[TheOneAndOnlyAbattle]

from now on,, I LIVE THE DODOS!!!!!!! <333333

[dariel13]

this is perfect.

[joaopaulocosta16]

como e' possível não gostar?! =)

[kayjay56]

I hate people who make comments about smoking etc... to songs or at concerts.. The music is the f'n drug you wanker.

[partyhats9]

@kayjay56  Word up!!!!!!!!

[TeloolaTwists]

@kayjay56 you're a wanker, everything's a drug

[McLedzep]

@kayjay56 imagine having all your senses heightened to the point that you can separate every instrument in a song and have a broad perception colors and movement. Imagine being fully aware of what you're seeing and listening to, It's not that drugs are necessary to listen to music, but it sure does help. Ancient tribes used to get high for spiritual reasons... music is a religion and pot helps us sense it a whole lot better.

you should try it, wanker. (:

[sergangus]

@kayjay56 I wouldn't doubt that these fellows smoke.

[ImFreshYourNot]

@kayjay56 This is how I think of it. Music is like candy. It's better without the rappers.

[ooooSALADoooo]

i would smoke weed to this shit if i had some right now to bad i dont :-(

[totallyairplanecrazy]

@ooooSALADoooo get ur mind out of the fucking gutter and stop with the addiction....

[rocklivesdealwithit]

wow I think this vid fits me so well at this time in my life that I really don't want to get off the cp

[plerre99]

im am also always heariing it while longboarding who likes it should try andrew bird ;)

[say12thebear]

@plerre99 agreed

[SwanSwanHummingbird]

Total rip off of the Magnetic Fields' "My Only Friend"

[unicyclst]

@SwanSwanHummingbird That sounds nothing like this song... IMO.

[SwanSwanHummingbird]

@unicyclst Listen to the vocal melody. It's exactly the same.

[themagicfingers1]

@SwanSwanHummingbird They have similar intros that's it. 

[NAVARRO142]

Es la primera ves que los escucho y creo que son geniales!!!

[JayyKub]

Saw them live at the sound academy in Toronto

Sooooooo AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[dzn13lle]

1:16 -poke-

[fuckkobe12]

dodos are so talented!! i love indie music because yyou actually have to look to find these artists because theyre not on all the radios, it makes it so much more rewarding!!

[JusttLiamm25]

I'm getting an Idea of what this song's about bout do any of you know the real meanings of this great song?

[Aussipwn]

Great, but the video could have been a litttle bit better

like more storyline.

[zombatwibc]

my new favorite band¡¡¡,,,,

[Cancerito19]

i love winter

[Anto717]

holy shit ye guys seriously have to come to ireland!

[megangill223x]

@Anto717 Ive been waiting and prayin for that for 18months. They are painfully good.

[Trammelbach]

I just bought their album visiter, and there isn`t one rubish song on it! Discovered them through this song! love them!

[auacordero]

It is an awsome song, when I first heard this song I kept on replaying.

[neoveexan]

These guys are great.

[absolutelywankered]

I love the song 'walking' by these guys after hearing it on skins, what other songs would u fans of the dodos recommend?

[imaginepeace14]

@absolutelywankered  horny hippies! for sure!

[jesserubberkip]

all of them

[OGARAINTDEAD]

It was on Skins???? I didn't notice, whaaat!?

[TheDonutFox]

@absolutelywankered the season, absolutely the best

[ninjafrank1337]

@absolutelywankered My favorites are Joe's Waltz, Red and Purple, Park Song, and Undeclared.

[nellinaful]

I love this song =)))

[thekitesdk]

Take a listen to danish indie pop act The Kites

watch?v=RhIUmoByqG0

[sevenfour]

I just can´t stop listening to this great song. The last verse is the best.

Goodnight my love, you seemed so nice 'til I knew you better

Now I can tell you're always thinking twice about what might be better

On the outside, there's no conscience, you're a victim of your cautiousness

You don't try, you just lie there hoping that someone will come to make it right

[buysunnysnow]

Nice job editing. Love the slice of life scenes of the band.

[SkateNinjaStyle]

It's hard to tab most dodos songs, caus' they don't always use frets...

[nikiromanoo]

ommggg theres music just gets meee, its so good!

[grittychris]

love the lyrics in this song it was perfect for me right after a break up. these guys are really great, but I got to admit the melody is a bit reminiscent of something. anybody who knows the lyric "billy you're a miracle and god knows i need one" knows what i'm talking about

[sevenfour]

Very true, perfect after a break up. It´s the same for me right now.

[unscenebitch]

love is like a thorn into my side

[jobuXC]

@grittychris i couldn't agree more. beautiful but sad all at the same time, almost like a breakup (on one hand, you're free to do as you please now - on the other, your lover is gone)

[denouements]

OMG Deadsy right?!

gosh, to think i never even realised! O:

[TheDayIsNotLost]

This is really smooooooth.... easy on the ears

[zaidabanksnyc]

Very nice!!!!!!!

[samashby08]

I love this song.

I love this band.

[amirxtreme]

Seeing them tonight in SF! Can't wait!

[PivotIsAwesome4]

Saw them live also, and got their auto-graphs... =)

[amirxtreme]

awesome man! Great show.

[YourGranie]

Awesome.

[benscott1784]

where the fuck is your bass what the hell man . jorden is coming to see you at the turf club tonight look for the guy bootlegging your show

[lisadbush]

great lyrics

[Cez305]

I listen to the The Dodo's when I skate all the time..."Winter" is a great song to space out to, although sometimes I get to lost in that song and almost skate into an SUV lol

[ClaireDupree]

@Cez305 hahaha i do that all the time loll..

[tinytim13434]

@Cez305 dude i do the same thing. i was listening to walking and i almost ran into a group of kids and then into a garbage truck. it was embarrassing

[Torqueyeel]

@Cez305 Hahaha thats so true! When im longboarding, i get into in and dont pay any attention to anything but the flow, so ive almost been hit by cars on multiple occasions :O

[Bvanoven]

@Cez305 dido



[Bvanoven]

@Cez305  dido

[Anders898Avey]

@Cez305 I skate to them all the time, and its just the best

[jackass534]

@Cez305 best story. hahaha

[cosses]

@Cez305 you just foresaw my today a year ago.

harold camping couldn't have predicted this

[saranobby]

wow.

i just got chills

[nikkipink117]

Pleeeeeease tell me someone else was there watching them at outsidelands with me!? Not nearly enough people, in my opinion, turned out to support these guys. Mad props to you, dodos. <3

[gabobeaulieu]

why did i found this band before

[borderlands4]

where has this band been all my life...

[gleeclub1]

hey SNAAAAZZYY, you're comparing apples to oranges.

DUUMMYY

[gleeclub1]

oh, in that case, nevermind. keep up the good work!

[POWpOwPowP0W]

@SNAAAZZYY FUCKYOU!!! jk lol this isnt folk music?

[Hairymaineguy]

see also "My Only Friend" , by the Magnetic Fields

[l2ic3]

Nice job cutting to the guitar when the mandolin starts...

[andrewpjackson]

I reviewed the Dodos' new album Time To Die, and you can find it here:

rarefaunasounds wordpress com

(put periods where the spaces are)

[Netuser1]

gorgeous

[finger2009]

i love winter

[iricokelso]

this song is so sweet it almost makes me sad

[adnilgreen]

'I want a lover and a sister, but we know that's not right'...ahahahaha...this song is cool

[forgetthefuture]

i like this song, but not the lyrics

it must be suposed to be egostical right?

because he insults his lovers friends, he insults her love and doesnt understand her. yet expects so much.

maybe i think on lyrics too much.nice music though

[ankieeeah]

noticing lyrics is a good thing, i think

[beatleslovee]

I think what it's about more is this, that the speaker is saying that they can't deny that they loved this person. And this person has hurt them poorly. So perhaps her love was false and he's not insulting it. He probably doesn't understand her at all, but is that his fault ?

[archerversuslight]

Meric long seems to be an infallible character, everythng he does is amazing...

[skyeez83]

i really dig this!

[skylash]

i like all the footage cut together, nice edits on beat. however, it would be good to have atleast a few visual vocal syncs to lock in song and picture. feels way too loose otherwise.

[Dopje91]

I get what you mean!! cheers

[chicagowren]

That may be true but the fact is that you hear it & you think Souixsie and then you think to yourself, "I'd rather hear S & the Bs~they did it better" Most new bands today are obvious about who they were influenced by or who they ripped off.

[vixx]

every time I start to like a little indie band, comments like this ruin it for me.

[wagdude45]

yeah! musical success sucks! no success = good band! love indie!

if you formed a band, would you reject people enjoying your music? no, i don't think you would.

by the way those "you"'s weren't directed at a particular person, just the world.

[lysolbombs470]

It's not about people rejecting your music.

i think you guys are missing his point...and I've had the same feeling. You don't want them to get too popular just because you don't see them mainstream. There are some bands that feel a little "back home" and some indie bands that feel a bit more mainstream. And these two just don't seem fit for it in my mind. Not that they aren't good enough (at all), but that...I guess you'd rather have the feeling of them being a little more personal.

[NobodysHero0]

I agree, just look at Modest Mouse. They were soo amazing and had the perfect sound, until they went big. Don't get me wrong, they are still good, but they just don't have that feel anymore....

[AClearDeepBlue]

Same thing with Jason Mraz *Sigh*

[BillOsBFFF]

no he has always sucked

[0Angelix0]

It's OK, just write them off as idiots and ignore them!

[chicagowren]

This song is a bit of a rip off of Siuoxsie Banshees's "Christine" and "Spell Bound" combined. Not so original.

[yosefaraujo]

the Dodos are way better xD

[eiserbse]

what a beautiful voice! you really have me going...

[sfjenniches]

Remarkable similarity to Magnetic Fields' "Born on a train"

[ravishankar6]

nope, it's more similar to their "My only friend"... especially at the beginning.

[guilleten]

hipnotica

[vargasdieppa]

I could listen, and I have been listening to this song in repeat, for more than 9 months....

Good in all the aspects... Musical, romatical, jajaa, and what else is there?? Technical shit?/

It;s still perfect...

[mfiohfaiecl]

can't get enough of this song....the whole album is above 15 in playcounts, and this song triples that number in playcounts

[xJuliia]

= D

[jaadtoly23]

l=) indeed! i saw them yesterday, nice guys!

[urlicht]

My favorite song by The Dodos. Just can't get enough of it.

[wittlejays]

[arianemq]

Awesome!!!

[rafafernandez]
