  • Saw these guys at Leeds Festival a few years back. For their last song they brought on the band that were on before and after them to hit trashcans and other things. I don't know which song it was, but there was a huge build-up at the end, and they over-ran their time so they got cut off. But they stood there playing for like another 10 minutes acousticallly. 15 guys on stage going for it, half of them just smacking bits o metal.

    Great great band. And they know how to play some too.

  • heard this a long time ago on my friends ipod

  • i have heard this band years ago. then completly forgot who they were then the name just spang into my head today an i am glad it did. i love it when that happens

  • they are one hell of a band , a rare breed of music. The world needs more of this sound

  • My drama teacher actually introduced me to them!! :) I have him to thank

  • i always imagine a bunch of drunken cows mooing at the beginning of the song

  • watch?v=Y_RLEmaPjKI

  • The first time I heard them was when I was at this recording session. :) I was filming them and they played. magical surprise that was

  • The only thing I would change about this song is the really sharp, loud noise at 0:18 seconds. That's the only flaw. Otherwise, this is the PERFECT song to fall asleep to.

  • @carmeno411

    It's a glitch, surely?

  • really like this song:) its something different than what everybody listens to nowadays:

    ;P

  • awesome song and video

  • dude very soothing, so happy that i finally know what this song is called :D

  • I dont get why people get so mad over music. Its just music... Either you like it or you don't.

  • can we pretend that airplanes in the ni----- wait wrong song?

  • your moms a hipster, shes real cool! NOT!

  • damn i thought i was listening to grizzly bear at first...

  • Check out who the fuck cares!!!

  • Why does every song i look up have to have a top comment about being mainstream or not. Who really gives a fuck?

  • the glitch was at 16 secs not 19

  • Comment removed

  • This is my friends brother!!!! Go Hahns!!!!!!

  • haunting, I keep remembering it every couple of months because it's beautiful

  • Top comments bitching about a song's popularity? Why do I even look down from the video? Honestly, if this music wasn't popular, it wouldn't have over 300,000 views. Ugh. Hipsters, hipsters everywhere.

  • @Tatelasteil You can have a brain and still not like it. It all depends on what people like. If everyone were the same the world would be shit boring, so leave the mainstreamers be.

  • This is probably one of the most amazing music video's ever.

  • 0:15... ouch.

  • BUT.........will it blend?

  • I go to listen to there music because it calms me down and just pure joy to the ear

  • the video, the music, it's too wonderful.

  • Its all art, every bit of it. It's beautiful.

  • Theres somthing about his voice that makes me want to cry. This song is so beautiful.

  • I don't give a fuck what kind of music it is, if I like it then I like it. "Mainstream" or otherwise. How it's perceived or if it's popular or not doesn't make it any less good, lolo. There's still people who are listening to it. It doesn't matter. And this is a damn good song.

  • @FreakToBe hipster

  • @FreakToBe Agreed!

  • well...i listen to mainstream and yet i love this band and all independent music....is not the people is what the system and the media feeds them and the ppl that follows the media dont even know that they are being control...smh

  • Haha silly silly hipsters, stop being selfish with your music. Altho alot of people ,who happen to listen to mainstream music, are so close minded it makes me sick

  • If you love incredible songwriting like the Local Natives, then check out this band called Seraplane. I'm trying to spread the word for them, so search them on youtube if you get the chance!

  • is that a glitch at 19 secs in?

  • @thescarletives hope so.. otherwise my speakers are screwed upp

  • @thescarletives

    You said sex

  • he singin with some soul at 1:34...this joint ridin'

  • loooook it up; encyclopedia!!! best line in the song.

  • This is the only song that actually makes me cry every time I hear it.

  • I literally creamed myself when i first heard this song

  • I absolutely LOVE this song!

  • Fellow fans of Local Natives, you might be interested in this other folk band called Seraplane. I'm trying to help spread the word, so search them on youtube if you have time!

  • I always keep chopsticks from special occasions ....it reminds me of this song :)

  • These guys are going to be huge, Sasquatch! loved them.

  • LiberationMusicAus, Fucking thank you.

  • i want you back! back! back! YOU BAACCK!

    

  • liberationmusicaus has amazing music.

  • Love this song

  • I most definently have fallen in love.

  • LOVE the first few seconds of this. (And the rest. But still)

  • @Tatelasteil This song is mainstream though, I hear it all the time on Alt Nation Radio. o.o . And just because something is mainstream doesn't mean it's automatically terrible, it just means it will get old faster, thats all.

  • @CJTtttwilight agreed, although im thankful rebecca black isnt on the radio over here, phew

  • Record of the year 

  • This video is a hipster's wet dream. Good song though.

  • i want to live in that room

  • this is real music.. i wish i could hear stuff like this on the radio..

  • @xxeu4riaxx XM/Sirius satelite radio ALT nation

  • 13 People like helicopters instead...

  • Chuck Me!

  • I think the song is about exploding pictures.

  • so much spaghetti.

  • Grizzly Bear Rules!!!

  • They are amazing

  • Because mainstream audiences are not accustomed to thinking for themselves. Good music like this doesn't go big because you actually have a brain to enjoy great music.

  • @Tatelasteil just because music goes mainstream doesnt mean its bad

  • @Tatelasteil Music like this should be felt. You shouldn't be thinking about what your hearing but feeling it.

  • @Tatelasteil

    don't make a comment on how bad mainstream music is or how dumb mainstream music listeners are, that's ignorant and you just look like a self-righteous hipster.

  • @Tatelasteil LOL you dirty dirty hipster

  • @Tatelasteil ok hipster just cuz you like it and other "mainstream" audiances dont dosent mean they cant think for themselfs AND IF I DONT LIKE IT THAT DOSENT MEAN I HAVE TO BECAUSE YOU DO!!! i absolutly loath people like you who think if someone doesent like something you do there stupid

  • @Tatelasteil that people do not appreciate music with metre, instruments and lyrical complexity with which they are not familiar should not suggest that they have no brain at all; merely that their minds are tragically closed. Great song :)

  • @Tatelasteil hipsters gonna hip...chill

  • @Tatelasteil sick grammar for a guy with a 'brain.'

  • @FlaresareGreen Doesn't matter if his grammar isn't good. He was trying to make a point, and a damn good one at that.

  • @Tatelasteil that is not true. music is about preference and has nothing to do with intelligence.

  • @Tatelasteil Cannot tell if troll or oblivious hipster...

  • @Tatelasteil so full of shit. people have different tastes. so what if yours is different to mainstream. it doesnt mean what you listen to is any bettter or any worse.

  • @Tatelasteil How fucking insightful of you. I know plenty of idiotic people who listen to this kind of music. Just saying. Taste in music does not justify intelligence.

  • @Tatelasteil The most pretentious comment I've ever read on anything ever.

    It's just not popular because his singing is unconventional and odd. This isn't objectively "great music" or complex in any way. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy it, you're just putting everyone down for not having the same taste as you instead of accepting the fact that they just have different taste.

  • @Tatelasteil pff hipsters..

  • @meelo933 stfu or gtfo.

  • @Tatelasteil HAHAHAHAHA is that how it works? Fuck mainstream, fuck underground. Either way, the bizz is all fucked up.

  • @Tatelasteil Damn, you must be really, really intelligent if your brain finds the sounds these people make to be pleasing.

  • how is this band not popular and yet rebecca black is.. music these days...

  • @rempebettina Erm, Friday shouldn't be considered a song...

  • @rempebettina who is rebecca black?

  • @rempebettina Music not popular is good, it helps you single out those who you can make friends with :)

  • @rempebettina Because 12 year old girls have no soul.

  • @rempebettina to be fair, no one considers her stuff music. they just go there to troll

  • @rempebettina this band is really popular Rebecca Black is just made fun of 24/7 i don't call that popular

  • @rempebettina Are you implying people actually like rebecca black. Nobody actually like her music.

  • They were so amazing last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this song is genius

    

  • this song is genuis

  • Keirsten Holine does a great cover of this song.

  • they were so good last night

  • they were so good last night

  • & los2113 when you said this was crap i assumed you listened to lady gaga. But then I listened to the beautiful song you posted on your profile "where is my mind" so you are partly forgiven ;)

  • This is my favorite song from local natives

  • i think the clip is based on The Picture of Dorian Grey, from Oscar Wild, isn't it?

  • Absolute crap!!!

  • ive never been so obsessed about one song...

  • this song is amazing!

  • thanks blalock :D

  • i like the song...but i dont understand what the video is about

  • this is my new favorite song

  • Wtf the starting sounds like a gorilla orgy XD

  • @Jollyballz5000 Ha that's funny do you want me to give you thumbs up?

  • @newschool92 Yeah I'm a thumbwhore.

  • I was changing radio stations and i turned to this song and thought it was a Pepsi Throwback commercial and like at the end when the dj said the name and stuff I was relieved because i was afraid that radio stations were deciding to play long ads haha

  • *laggy video* Wait what's wrong with my internet? *realizes that this is a slide show* D'oh!

  • grandfather

  • One of my fave songs from 2010.

  • 0:18 scared the shit out of me :o

  • @XxknowsabexX me too, frackin crazy

  • is this about his mom?

  • @Livingwho nope about a grandfather

  • so much i call :(

  • My favorite part is the photographs being peeled at the end, such beautiful animation x.x

  • Everything about this song is amazing. It stirs a million things in me! Just had to write about it, but from totally different, crazy, twisted angle. The post is called "frozen in time" on my blog, line from a lyric, hosted at blogspot.

  • is this about the dudes mum?

  • I think it is about the death of his Grandfather on his father's side.

  • disliking this is just stupid.

  • this is such a sad song :(

  • so beautiful <3

  • addicted to this video. might have something to do with sights of a dusty apartment...

  • beautiful

  • I know why the crowd boos at the beginning. Alt Nation DJ Jake Fogelnest yaps through the beginning of the song about something no one but himself cares about. Once he shuts up, the crowd can hear the music and start clapping.

  • I love the little clackity-sounding drum hits the most.

  • This song reminds me of Brick by Ben Folds Five.

  • The desk where you sit inside of a frame made of wood I keep those chopsticks you had from when you taught abroad in Japan I love it all so much I call I want you back I did not know you as well as my father knew you every question you took the time to sit and look it up in the encyclopedia I love it all so much I call I want you back It sounds like we would of had a great deal to say to each other I bet when I leave my body for the sky the wait will be worth it
  • I think this video is great, but the music, is better.

  • great

  • definitely one of my new favorite bands ^_^ i love them

  • kakvi levati 

  • <3

  • The beginning sounds like an intro to an Arcade Fire song

  • @hooligan979

  • i've just been brain raped...
