Twin Shadow - Tyrant Destroyed

[jaodff]

love the transition between 2:41 onwards

[gillsandwings]

Love it. Great album from beginning to end.

[unicorntitties]

meh, whatever

[joelslife]

Great video - loved how it worked with the song.

[bicyclebymemorytapes]

epic thing, which means really epic thing.

[conmon7]

ok, who is this dude? we need some background info cuz he's pretty dang good! as for the vid, i always try to listen to new music the first couple times without seeing the video cuz it tends to influence my impression of the song and i judge it on the visual which really is not a good thing! anyone have bio info on this guy? where is he from?

[bezwaarlijketruffel]

@conmon7 come on man, just google...:)

[christ0phersee]

loved the shots of paris...

[XDPirateXD]

The cutting of the footage isnt too impressive but it is nice :)

[Shirokinukatsukami]

Terrible choice of visuals to accompany this song. Seems rather rudimentary yet pretentious.

[robertoduclos]

Is this video official?



[bucraneoum]

min 2:31 for an instant, proper goodbye was expected,



[lingurush]

i feel like floating in a slow motion movie scene..

[xaolynch]

great song for one of my favorite movies!!!

[badabin]

saw him live at Lisbon...perfect...great artist...great album....very welcome to my beauty LISBOA

thanks from PORTUGAL

[Snakeyx]

@badabin Meu deus...

[bieniabienia]

i want to make love listening to this song.

[dannyvseventeen]

Morrissey & Prince

[axis462]

@dannyvseventeen Plus something new. You're right.

[SAbowser]

Kinda reminds me of Hot Chip.

[pamalamadingdong8]

This is my favourite album of 2010 - 2011. I saw Twin Shadow last month and going to see him again in September. I've played it so much that I think my neighbors know all the words to his songs.

[axis462]

@pamalamadingdong8 I don't know anyone who just 'kinda likes' this album. You're either indifferent to it or you've listened to it 238073490732432423 times.

[dennisondennison]

Is it so green for everyone? BTW: 2 stars? That's insane- anyone who has ever truly loved in these modern times will know what that movie means.

[sunsun410]

you know who recommended this to me??? ALBERT HAMMOND JR (if you dont know, he is the rhythm guitarist for the strokes) and he was so right. you're great.

[grejustin]

I think the footage and editing is perfect, nice video!

[grahamlaur]

This worked so perfectly as an album opener. It almost overshadowed the next few songs of the album.

[heatherswanson]

i love linklater this is pretty awesome

[melikamail]

Love the song, not impressed with the choice of footage. Love that movie, but this is a very retro band, his classic 70's/80's sound is deserving of so much more than movie clips of a film that was 2 stars at best. Completely takes away from the song.

[FourFingerFilms]

@melikamail Reasonable criticism but I personally feel your thoughts are pretty off base. You are right in the sense that the music could have benefited from a more retro/cult film, but to give Before Sunset 2 stars is craziness. It's a great experimental film gushing with Linklater's signature style. His meticulous care for dialogue and character remains unmatched in the industry.

[technicolorfuses]

@FourFingerFilms so agreed!!

[melikamail]

@FourFingerFilms To each their own. I agree its gushing with Linklater's style. But, I wasn't overwhelmed by the film. Its great. It just didn't suck me in and make me contemplate the movie after it was over. However, that wasn't my point at all.... My point was that this song and movie do not match up in style or mood. Just an observation.

[bestwhackjunk]

@melikamail

shh! you tyrant...

[summertime24133]

i love the song and the movie before sunrise

[norsefly1]

As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak, they had to give you lips like that

(:,,,},,,,

[hands00up]

best part is when the synth comes in on the chorus

[sambabramba]

It makes me cry and laugh at the same time. it is so real. like for real.

[mesomungo]

hates when weeks later i discover an awesome band that i turned down seeing at SXSW this year. :(

[SHOOKSLAY]

too many people have'nt heard this great song

[distressedType]

truly an amazing album! This tune in particular

[Samanth90]

So brilliant

[talonescalante]

[talonescalante]

if i didnt live in idaho... id buy this album.....looks like a download till i can but it,

[mishmoshable]

that initial low bassy drum that thumps and makes that subtle jingly ring sound; what is that? i notice it used in artists like AFX and Shackleton

[tntballoon123]

This album is so amazing!! SO siiick that hes taking off :)

[waif79]

very very beautiful.

[cananga47]

Très belle récente découverte...que de sonnorités intéressantes...J'aime .....

[cadetrousselle33]

du grand,du fabuleux,de l'amour!merci twin shadow.... :)

[railed87]

haven't really been into alternative music lately, let alone 80s alternative. you know what though, this is better than some of the killers music. Almost like The Killers/The Klaxons/Death Cab for Cutie Combo.

Thats really rare nowadays.

Good stuff fellas.

[accamsug]

Footage is from the films "Before Sunrise" & "Before Sunset", never seen them but might have to check em out after seeing this!

[CQBguy234]

@accamsug yeah im deff gonna have to go watch these movies now

[HooperHarrison]

some things are just too good, this is one of them.

[gunkittie]

this album is great I just saw them in cinci this past Saturday!!

[cowler100]

it's a good movie.

[BijanRamezani]

[Mr1002brady]

Thats great work...LOve iT

[aeroeau]

@muercio, I think Ohki's guitar is one of below :

Try Googling "大木 Guitar"

Rickenbacker 360FG

Rickenbacker 381MG

Rickenbacker 330FG

[Scumbagization]

2 dislikes? way to be douches

[muercio]

your a genius dude, great movie and an awesome song. couldnt ask for anything more this christmas

[olafdesign]

there's a little bit of sebastien tellier in this one...GREAT SONG !

[lily1235]

@olafdesign really? i love Sebastian Tellier but i don't connect the two at all. 

[olafdesign]

@lily1235 aerial, melancoly...the low voice...just my opinion :)

[lily1235]

@olafdesign ok! well thanks for the response! and i'm glad to hear from a tellier fan!

[eldiablo369258]

1 dislike? way to be a douche 

[Llawliet13]

splendid. 

[JamesJanssen]

the one part for me.. when they are on the gondola, and she looks at him for a second, and giggles... just the look on his face describes the love for her returning.

[zbs511551]

Great mix, the video matches well with the music. It's oddly hopeful, even given the melancholy. I really like the part in the video where they are in a cab and she reaches out to touches his hair, but feels nervous and recoils. It's a very touching moment. It's all about the touching moments.

[crismanzanaresfabre]

alguien sabe como se titula esta pelicula en castellano???? gracias.

[gapplec]

Antes del Atardecer...

[Pripyat]

@crismanzanaresfabre

En realidad son dos,las dos películas,primero ve "Antes del amanecer" y luego "Antes del atardecer".

[aradaios]

the only bad thing about this song is that it doesn't last forever..............

[MrArtsneef]

amazing song, great movie...cant wait to buy the album,,,,,,,"they had to give you lips like that"

[kltie]

sounds like a mix between cold play and kings of convenience. love it! his other songs are great too

[AnG3la99]

[noiluigi64]

This song is really good. Time to buy his album!!!!!!!!1

[jasonrmick]

@noiluigi64 I did!!

[circosan]

what a badass song, so good

[andpia16]

what does the chorus say?

"this was love ......... such a tyrant destroyed, yes you started sinking in my head"

[shimmy307]

@andpia16 "This was love - and I - was such tyrant destroyed" 

[atarom]

Anyone have lyrics to this song? It's amazing.

[Pondenome]

Great song!

[redreg7]

interesting choice for 1st track ... sounds more like an outro to me

[IrishHops]

@redreg7 i agree

[25PHANTOM69]

SWEET!

[lazlokovac1]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! footage couldn't be better for this song!!!!!

[The0Zero]

The music works well with Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.
