[2Stardumb]

[sindiva]

this is what music should do- provoke overwhelming emotion.

[LUIMA829]

[rotkhotarkovsky]

enchanting.

[AdWhWaHo]

i saw them on fuel tv. the guy was looking at the camera like crazy. you could tell he felt something or some shit. this song is so good. and four provinces.

[triumphmad]

bows and arrows, awsome! and now this, long may the walkmen reign!!

[rosienmundo]

this band is like a breath of fresh air!! stands out amongst all the other cookie-cutter bands out there. I love the way the singer sings with sooo much passion..gives me chills just listening to his voice in this song.

[VittorioNJ]

Hamilton bought me a bottle of jack daniels when i was a somphmore in high school and now he's blowing up with his band. This is fucking crazy. I cant believe this man. I have so much to say to him. I wish i kept in contact with him. I really need to congratulate him.

[candyandy5000]

AMAZING!

[the80ees]

I love that he doesn't hold back on the vocals. A lot of singers tend to do this live when trying to hit those harder notes.

[IvyMike777]

I agree with these comments - what an underappreciated band and this is a great song. We'll be seeing a lot more of The Walkmen, I think. I agree that they are relevant to music today. Their lo-fi noise approach is refreshing for the times and they don't sound like "x" or "y". They don't give a shit - they just play the hell out of their songs.

[koridatz]

the original video is at Juan's Basement, that one it has a good direction, better audio and 2 interviews, the link is on the walkmen's page

[sayazfar]

fucking A indeed... by far the most relevant band this year.

[gokinsmen]

I love The Walkmen, but what the fuck does "relevant" even mean when it comes to rock music?

[jahmehz]

good question.

[rkosgal21]

its a lawyers way of enjoying music =]]

If that makes any sense at all.

[angelo1201]

So damn good. I have a feeling more people are going to start coming around to these guys. They've hit their stride.

[cashflagg]

It is THE song of the year. Christ! That guitar is MAJESTIC!

[jansport11]

their drummer is a Class A drummer he is one of the best in all of music right now if not the best.

[Donlewable]

@jansport11

you can not be serious with that statement...but yeah hes pretty good, but best in music?.....

[spiderscales76]

Fuck yeah! love this sound!

[majorphoto]

one of the best songs of the year

[hugodiogo]

pure magic!! great artists

[enjoyingmylife]

Outstanding. Love the simple, elegant movement between B&W, Red, Blue and (to a lesser extent) full color. Oh, and the song just so happens to be amazing.

[alexhated4loving]

amazing...

[koridatz]

FUCK THIS IS GREAT!!!

[jflex]

I can't get enough of Hamilton's vocals in this song.  In the great tradition of ACDC and Led Zepellin, he's going to keep dorms across the country awake as kids try to wail this at the top of their lungs.

[mardybums]

this might be their greatest video on here...

this should be the official video for the song, simple yet powerfull

Matt is such an awesome drumer!
