I was alone in the world with my thoughts, stranded and secluded, and then i heard WHY? and my life has never been the same :) Yoni is the king of lyrical world play mixed with his creativity and unique style! I LOVE WHY?
I remember when I found this song so fucking long ago. I listened to it constantly and ended up driving my mom crazy with the song haha I downloaded every album I could get. I remember listening to WHY? a lot when I played Magic the Gathering with a friend. They become a favorite band of mine and I'm so excited that I'll get to see them April the 4th for the first time.
A friend I don't see in real life that often told me to listen to you guys after not being able to find a song to listen to for an hour and a half so I did, and stuck with it. Thanks for making music and publicizing yourself enough for me to notice you.
Anticon acts (especially Why?, Son Lux, and Doseone) for the last 11 years have been light years ahead of the curve in a culture where musical trends come and go instantly. But now adays you cant push the envelop too much or else you end up getting labeled with an algorithm. There is a good reason why these artists are famous everywhere else in the world but the US
The point of a video is to pull as many listeners as possible. I love Why?, but this is definitely the most widely appealing song on the album (for new listeners and such).
Everything you've just said sums up my opinion of the newer music. I absolutely love their older stuff, there's so much rawness to it, but you don't get that in any of the newer stuff. Will always love everything before eskimo snow.
i had the same general attitude towards the new record as the pitchfork guy when it came out, but i've been listening to the songs more and processing the lyrics more, and it's grown on me a lot elephant eyelash is still light years better of course, but it's not bad at all.
Strawberries on your birthday Shirley The shit I said to hotel managers haunts me Pallbearers of the first string ready Discretely gather in the second floor hallway And I am not okay boys No, I am not okay No, I am not okay boys Itching like an intern with a sunburn For what a stone unturned covers I don't wear rubbers and I don't wear sunscreen I want to heed my hide, not hide under something And I am not okay boys No, I am not okay No, I am not okay boys Your mom she sits while her hair is in curlers Smokes weed and listens to that Garrison Keillor That's how I'll live when I quit my rap career Let her laughter pass the rafters and go out into the atmosphere Strawberries on your birthday Shirley The shit I said to high school counselors haunts me And I am not okay boys
I love this song so much. but when i try to search for a clean version of this song to show my family, RUclips only gives me videos on how to clean strawberries....
This is the attitude that keeps us our closed minds tied tight. I enjoy the minimalist pop qualities of this album, and god-forbid maybe more people will give their older shit a listen after stumbling upon the 1# album 2012.
You mom, she sits while her hair is in curlers Smokes weed and listens to that Garrison Keiler That's how I'll live when I quit my rap career Let her laughter pass the rafters and go out into the atmosphere"

They have been entertaining me for almost 17 years and there's maybe one song I don't care for lol
@@SomeOne-yd2ml which one?

this strange little man makes me laugh and contemplate with each line. Best lyricists since Issac Brock, IMHO.
This puts a smile on my face.
One of the best live acts I’ve ever seen in my life. This guy is a genius.
11 months ago ?? Do they still play out??
@@ronronronronyo8358 I saw them a couple years ago 2019/2020. Not sure if they still tour...
@@ronronronronyo8358they just toured last summer
It really is intense.
Even just yoni and a four track is/was amazing. Seeing that same dood flawlessly kill stage and talent is rare. Many don't even know.
One if the most underrated bands in the world . And most diverse, I love em so much.
I'm in the vid! The girl carrying balloons in the pink tutu and denim vest around 2:52 and 3:04!
How do these guys and their videos still give me the chills?!?
i am completely in love with this song... i can only imagine what its like in concert!!!
Such a sick song
my best friend unalived himself decenber 24th 2020
and he loved this band n this song always makes me think of him
i miss you brodie 💔🖤

triple platinum everywhere but the usa
the music industry in the U.S Is literally a joke at this point
but who the fuck cares if you're "labeled" man? its all about pleasing yourself.
and just because trends happen don't mean you have to follow it. i listent o like 70's punk and opera, man. "culture" don't mean shit
wait, which of those acts has gone triple platinum where?
northside 4th of july parade - fuck yea! my husband on the bmx bike at :50. thanks!
I’ve listened to WHY since - 2014? Give or take a year- sad we only have these few songs-underrated af artist
this is my new favorite! and it was made in my neighborhood! I love this! :D
just can't stop listening to this wonderful song
everything's just perfect
saw them 4 years ago in my town, so friendly and lovely people!
The point of a video is to pull as many listeners as possible. I love Why?, but this is definitely the most widely appealing song on the album (for new listeners and such).
i love this song
yes!
so wish i was there for the parade :(
yes!!! YES
Awesome, what a great group! Anticon is amazing. Thank them for giving me something good to listen too.
awesome song. been playing it on repeat since i discovered it the other day
I never looked at it like that before. Thanks for the eye opener. You are a delight.
Please explain “it”, I’m trying to -modestly- translate the song, but don’t get it… What does it describe?
THIS IS REDIC GOOD. LONG LIVE WHY?
my 2nd fav song on the album, and it gets a video! i love you guys
Please come to Toronto , On.
best Jewish rap-band
Its Jewish hip hop GOD!
Well lucky for us when i went to see this live tour they still played all the best songs from Alopecia and Elephant Eyelash :D
fantastic gig in Italy! Thank you YONI, thank you WHY?

On the contrary, I don’t very much like the other albums, but this one is one of mu favorite of all times. How good… but 37 minutes only 🥲
beautiful ~
Got me with Garrison Kieller.
Awesome!

I can't get over how fucking adorable and perfect he is
This song brings out my inner hippie
I am THERE!!!
Dammit - its official now, I love Liz Wolf.
Who is she in the clip? The tattooed Brunette?
i love it!!!! can't wait for the album!
This song tastes so damn delicious! One of my faves on the new album, love you Yoni!
Preach it brotha man.

Dope hat
Why have I just found out about this band now? WHY???????
Oh my god oh my god oh my god
fucking love this song and video. it gets stuck in my head so much.
I'm happy now
merci Nova :)
cool lyrics!
i had the same general attitude towards the new record as the pitchfork guy when it came out, but i've been listening to the songs more and processing the lyrics more, and it's grown on me a lot
elephant eyelash is still light years better of course, but it's not bad at all.
nice song yonster
why am i so damn perplexed by this song??
Meeting Yoni before I die will happen.
Nice parade! the guy with the maraca and the bass drum looks a little like doseone imo
Yoni is the pride of Cincinnati.

Yoni wolf. Constantly making me proud to be from Cincinnati
this song is actually makes me smile.. is it because the song or the mustache? :)
i wish my dog could be in a why video
Now this is how you write a song.
the dream of the 90s is alive in portland
Strawberries on your birthday Shirley
The shit I said to hotel managers haunts me
Pallbearers of the first string ready
Discretely gather in the second floor hallway
And I am not okay boys
No, I am not okay
No, I am not okay boys
Itching like an intern with a sunburn
For what a stone unturned covers
I don't wear rubbers and I don't wear sunscreen
I want to heed my hide, not hide under something
And I am not okay boys
No, I am not okay
No, I am not okay boys
Your mom she sits while her hair is in curlers
Smokes weed and listens to that Garrison Keillor
That's how I'll live when I quit my rap career
Let her laughter pass the rafters and go out into the atmosphere
Strawberries on your birthday Shirley
The shit I said to high school counselors haunts me
And I am not okay boys
I love this song so much. but when i try to search for a clean version of this song to show my family, RUclips only gives me videos on how to clean strawberries....
What does the muscly dude have painted on his chest in the beginning?

You mean the abundance of fiber I imagine

Berkeley, ca

Dawg they whistle.

Why? 'nuff said
Smoke weed and listen to Garrison Keillor. The life.
RIP Garrison.
northside, ohio. yoni's hometown.
Perpetually dead in the eyes :)
Yoni has become the hipster leader lol. But deep down he's OG as fuck
hi
The shit I said to hotel managers haunts me…
I searched why and i see this.
Are these the same people who are in the Sod in the Seed video??
Hi
I've seen more musical talent in a god damn bologna sandwich, with extra mustard. STRAWBERRIES ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY
Isn't it "surely"?
***** maybe that lyric is open to suggestion
Shit's first string puppet show
getting mixed signals at :55
Josiah is lucky dude. Liz is a beautiful gal.
That's Josiah Wolf, Yoni's brother.
Καλο
When did being too cool to be cool, become a negative thing?
@smartin1 lol get a load of this guy
You mom, she sits while her hair is in curlers
Smokes weed and listens to that Garrison Keiler
That's how I'll live when I quit my rap career
Let her laughter pass the rafters and go out into the atmosphere"
What, exactly, is a 'Faux Hipster?' Is it like 'I read Pitchfork, but won't actually listen to any of the albums they review?'
