Yesterday was nice And today looked fine And we're glad the sky opened up The moon came crashing down I wish that I Could tell you That it's all alright Wish that I Could tell you That it's all alright But in truth we're doomed Consumed by all the truck fumes That would kill you without uttering a sound In truth we're doomed Entombed by the wicked law men and the benzene underground The architecture ruining this town Tilt your head back, don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Over and over Over again I wish that I Could tell you That it's all alright Wish that I Could tell you That it's all alright But in truth we're doomed Consumed by all the truck fumes That would kill you without uttering a sound In truth we're doomed Entombed by the wicked law men and the benzene underground The architecture ruining this town Tilt your head back, don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Over and over Over again
This song reminds me that we too are under the glass of the microscope. The lyrics are a sad homage to our own self destructive tendancies, enough to make you cry. Then the chorus comes to blow your mind. Just like the end of a hidden camera show, we are told to tilt our head back, as if directed to our secret audience. We are now aware that this world was a test. We were monitored this whole time, and we have failed miserably. The interdimensionals look down upon us in disgust. We spend our days robbing and murdering eachother. And in the end it seems we have brought Slugworth his requested gobstopper. No Chocolate factory for us.
This is a tragic video, most of us will die from disease, the song beautifully captures that feeling of inevitable doom and the pressure/hope of being in battle with these invisible enemies. I hope some scientist working on a cure from one of our many ailments watches this and cries ;).
Everything is finite and time is so precious but we can't live in fear because we are doomed. I just want to spend as much time as I can with those I love which I've been neglecting for too long.
Lyrics (from Genius): Yesterday was nice And today looked fine And quickly the sky opened up The moon came crashing down I wish that I, could tell you That it's, all alright I wish that I, could tell you That it's, all alright But in truth, we're doomed Consumed by all the truck fumes that will kill you without uttering a sound In truth, we're doomed Entombed by oil spills, the wicked lawmen and the benzene underground The architecture ruining this town Tilt your head back, and don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, and don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Over and over Over again I wish that I, could tell you That it's, all alright I wish that I, could tell you That it's, all alright But in truth, we're doomed Consumed by all the truck fumes that will kill you without uttering a sound In truth, we're doomed Entombed by oil spills, the wicked lawmen and the benzene underground The architecture ruining this town Tilt your head back, and don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, and don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, and don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Tilt your head back, and don't choke Under the glass of the microscope Over and over Over again We're going to (Over and over) We're going to hell (Over again) We're going to We're going to We're going to...
no one forces you to listen to this tho. i'm sure people who love yeasayer and are here to appreciate this song would not care for any of your opinion. So, save it to your sad self.

Probably one of the most visually compelling videos I've ever seen. This stuff sends your 12 year-old self to fend in the infinite jungle of visual orgasmetry.
The word hipster, well, it's kind of getting old and has lost any initial meaning it may have had. It's a lazy word, and generally used by people who need a word to describe something they can't grasp/relate to.
The most melancholic song you guys have ever written.
The world misses your music, please reunite.
the emotion that this song provokes in me brings me closer to tears
I love your music, please do more
This song just gets better and better every second...
Big mood rn.
Just discovered this album a few weeks ago and I'm hooked, already listened to it multiple times through
best music vid ive seen in a long time
+Mason Brown yes, you say it, same that i think.
*PERFECT SYNCHRONIZATION OF LYRICS AND VIDEO*
Such a beautiful, but sad sad song !
Yesterday was nice
And today looked fine
And we're glad the sky opened up
The moon came crashing down
I wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
Wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
But in truth we're doomed
Consumed by all the truck fumes
That would kill you without uttering a sound
In truth we're doomed
Entombed by the wicked law men and the benzene underground
The architecture ruining this town
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Over and over
Over again
I wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
Wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
But in truth we're doomed
Consumed by all the truck fumes
That would kill you without uttering a sound
In truth we're doomed
Entombed by the wicked law men and the benzene underground
The architecture ruining this town
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Over and over
Over again
its just made me cry......gorgeous....

This is one of my favorite songs of all time but it affects me so deeply that I can't bare to listen to it more than a few times a year
Let's DANCE!

This video captures the beauty of the song so well.
Most underrated band in the universe.

+TheFractalFreak as a geologist i've been thinking about the flint crisis and watching this, and nearly crying. so yeah.

I suppose they are laughing

Everything about this is exquisite.
this is how I felt when I first heard Radiohead's Amnesiac album and was like "I'm so happy this music exists"
God damn yeasayer!!!!! Kudos

He/she can say whatever he/she wants, this is the internet. No need to be so upset somebody doesnt like it.

+shane alexander They're putting out a new record in april.
Probably one of the most visually compelling videos I've ever seen. This stuff sends your 12 year-old self to fend in the infinite jungle of visual orgasmetry.
Art is never understood
2020 in a very sexy nutshell
has a strawberry jam animal collective vibe
Agree
I'm next...
I want to look at a beautiful things through a microscope now :D
Something aleins would listen to while creating us, or something the universe had inside it before it was it.
Honest and depressing. I wish there was a happy ending to any of this, but there isn't.
Six years old but this music videos subject matter has never been more relevant than it is in 2020 today...
Yeasayer saw COVID-19 coming
a Budweiser commercial brought me here i think, n i'm glad it did
I. Am. Chemistry.
Yeasayer качает!
Sounds nice :-)
Nice.
this is really really similar to the Grooms video for "Infinity Caller"'!!!!!!!!
you should see it!
nice electron microscope. SCIENCE!!!
albert Hoffman glasses were bomb
Reminds me of the beginning of Hold My Liquor by Kanye
a virus that instead of turning you into a zombie, infects you with dance...
You directed that video, no?
Do you guys know similar music / with similar feeling? ;-)
This song is awesome but I'm pretty sure that microscope prop being used isn't even on.
This video is so fucking cool
Cool as dry ice in a freezer
4 people had this song on mute while Wrecking Ball was playing in the background.
эффект голоса начинает действовать на нервы как и рот мужика с палочкой
???????
Tweeted @musosguide
Did this remind anybody else of Radiohead's House of Cards music video....?
Suspiciously similar.... hmmmmm.
WTF
The word hipster, well, it's kind of getting old and has lost any initial meaning it may have had. It's a lazy word, and generally used by people who need a word to describe something they can't grasp/relate to.
I didn't realize scientists were supposed to dress like future hipsters. Gotta work on that.
Riight. I forget. Not supposed to use the H word around hipsters. They get defensive.
music sucks
