She is throat singing. So you hear it at the beginning... I don't know how to describe as anything other than it is the throat singing you hear through out.
***** well I wouldn't go that far.. it is her version of a solo form of Inuit throat singing which normally needs two people. She did just get the Order of Canada though which is nice to see.
I am shook. I've known this song for a few years now. And I loved~ the throat singing, because I am an inuk woman. AND ONLY NOW REALIZED that a known Inuk throat singer is in this song, Tanya Tagaq! This is so cool!!
Honestly, I didn’t even recognize that as a human the first few times until I got curious and looked up Tanya Tagaq because I didn’t hear anyone else on the track.. I thought maybe that was just the name of the rock band playing the instruments since they’re not normal members of July Talk. I’m definitely glad I looked her up, it’s pretty damn cool! If you have any recommendations for Inuk music that I can check out and recommend to others I’d be happy to check them out! I love learning new things and experiencing more of the world, I’m Jamaican American so I’m from two very mixed up cultures and I like it that way!
Not enough artists truly understand the music video as artform these days. July Talk is a tremendous exception to that rule. So much raw emotion here. That hand reach/rejection really summarizes the entire song in a single image.
@@fmwr1397 I believe it relates to toxic codependency. The couple they are portraying are constantly pulling closer yet then pushing each other away. This relationship is a sexual one that has become too intimate, they are beginning to see into each other and are afraid to develop emotions beyond sexual desire because of their insecurities, but they cannot stay apart for long and always return.
I super love the dialogue in this song, I don't typically care about lyrics but I love how this song is two people who don't really know what they're doing or how they feel about each other, trying to communicate
I feel ashamed I have been missing out on this AMAZING BAND for years and only recently discovered their music. Burning thru their back catalog and getting to watch them evolve in a matter of hours has been a fun experience. Keep up the amazing work!
lowkey screaming and making a big deal because I sincerely adored this so much. the chemistry and incredible to me and every move was interesting to watch.
Huge fan of you guys. I'm also from Canada and I hope to see you live one day! This band deserves to have worldwide recognition, even more so than it currently does.
I just found July Talk and am completely blown away. It’s like The Cardigans mixed with Rage Against the Machine and Tom Waits... it’s just great. The text, music, arrangement, style - all of it.
The dance as a metaphor for the arguments and clashes of the couple in the relationship as the lyrics suggest is simply... BRILLIANT! Congrats for the coreographer and the art producers!
This has got to be one of my all time favorite videos on RUclips. Concept, visuals, production, song, band, lyrics, total package. Watched many times and always finding something new.
Words could never do this video justice. These guys are so talented, not just as musicians, but as artists. I love their music but finding out they do all their own music videos just gives me a whole new appreciation for them!
Are you implying that you didn't try hard because the comment was two months old? That doesn't make sense. Go home, you're drunk. (Rephrase that sentence otherwise)
Something so alluring Leah Fay's voice in this song! It's so captivating. Obviously the awesome riffs too but yeah, definitely an awesome band out of all the crap-pop-rock for the last two decades!
Doh... I was wondering where Tanya Tagaq was, like where she was singing in this song. Having not knowing who she was, I looked her up. Now, it is so obvious where she is in this song and it's awesome!
I don't quite understand the abstract "art" of the dancing of their music videos but the mismatch of their voices being on such extreme ends of the spectrum and how they mix together I just find incredible
I so love Canadian talent. And they are the shit. I was at Kongos here in Calgary. I found out July Talk was coming Dec.3. Got home already sold out. Totally bummed I was.
i love the type of relationship they project. they really don't care aboit what people will think. if they feel like moving a certain way, they will! no fucks given!
you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST SHOW OF MY LIFE! THE GRIPS OF ROCK AND ROLL IS ALIVE. GO SEE THEM LIVE, BEST OF MY LIFE
Lyrics Why do you want me today? Is it because you think you're wonderful? Am I fun to play? Why do you want me today? Is it because you think you're wonderful or is it because you think you're worth less than nothing at all? At your beck and call We're not the first to fall To feel unknown Still we jump at your beck and call What do you want me to say? If you want me, I'll be waiting If you don't, it's okay Why did you come here today? Do you really think there's something more to say or do you just need saving? At your beck and call We're not the first to fall To feel unknown Still we jump at your beck and call (He loves me, she loves me not) We're not the first to fall (She loves me, she loves me not) To feel alone (He loves me, he loves me not) To feel alone (She loves me, she loves me not) To feel unwanted He loves me, he loves me not She loves me, she loves me not Blind love in dark bedrooms Find love within confusion At your beck and call (He loves me, he loves me not) We're not the first to fall (She loves me, she loves me not) To feel unknown, still we (He loves me, she loves me not) Jump at your beck and call (He loves me, he loves me not) We're not the first to fall (She loves me, she loves me not) To feel alone (He loves me, he loves me not) To feel alone (She loves me, she loves me not) To feel unwanted Yw.
yay I can finally see it for some reason I couldn't see it all day yesterday but I'm happy now I get to see it all day today less than two weeks till I see the more I cannot wait
Omg, this is so intense !! they're dancing, it's so incredible, you know? they dance like it was with the soul .... I loved it. It made me feel alive, it made me want to LIVE, you know? Not that I do not live, but sitting on the couch lost grace. I've never seen a song so alive, thank you.
Can't "thumbs-up" this one enough. July Talk revisits the theme of sexual tension often--and manages to hit it out of the park every damn time. This one hits it out of the stratosphere.
Had I not visited Bellingham WA I'd never have heard of them. I wish they played farther south from Canada....on the radio I mean. I love these guys. Their voices totally compliment each other. My fave so far is Lola + Joseph.
Fuck man, it's been almost a decade now and I'm still SO obsessed with their sound but I never found any other songs besides this one that I really dug. I guess I should try their most recent album. Any one else felt this way? I mean god what great voices, he is so fucking cool I love him
Just heard this on Serius Satalite radio, glad I caught it and I have never heard of them. Intense video, catch the shirt changes? Thought I was going crazy.
God i love this song so much .Their voices are so unique - try listening to this song full blast while driving!!! So fucking awesome. You wont regret it ;)
Who’s listening to this gem in 2024?
HERE 🎉
Have you ever listened to a band called the interrupters? 🤯 check them out.
yeah ditto
Me!
Who's making a comment about this song right now ?😅
I wish more people collaborated with Tanya Tagaq or throat singers in general. Such a unique sound
Rob Elliott what does tanya sing on this track?
She is throat singing. So you hear it at the beginning... I don't know how to describe as anything other than it is the throat singing you hear through out.
damn I didn't even know that was a person singing lol, just thought it was a produced sound or maybe some kind of washboard or something
It's Inuit throat singing, specifically. :)
***** well I wouldn't go that far.. it is her version of a solo form of Inuit throat singing which normally needs two people.
She did just get the Order of Canada though which is nice to see.
I am shook. I've known this song for a few years now. And I loved~ the throat singing, because I am an inuk woman. AND ONLY NOW REALIZED that a known Inuk throat singer is in this song, Tanya Tagaq! This is so cool!!

@@DanteYewToob Every song in the movie "The Grizzlies" (2018) is either by an Inuk or First Nations artist. (also a very insightful piece of media)
I'm confused, i hear peters deep voice, Leah's female vocals, nothing else i thought was human, what's the throat singing?
I was hoping to see her in the video. I knew her when she was in university. She has always been fierce.
I wish more people knew about July talk
the wolf named ruthless yeah! It's devastating to love them alone
Went to a metric show ,july talk opened up I had no clue who they were , was fucking awsome show ended up liking there set better
Joshua Christopher THANK YOU I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER METRIC
Ppl in Canada do 😅😅 or, at least in Ontario lol
@@starlette92 Yeah for some reason southern Ontario knows them super well
Not enough artists truly understand the music video as artform these days. July Talk is a tremendous exception to that rule. So much raw emotion here. That hand reach/rejection really summarizes the entire song in a single image.
I agree. go watch the music video for Kings Of Leon's WALLS. Some bands still have amazing music videos.
Can some explain to me the meaning of this song?
Yes
@@fmwr1397 I believe it relates to toxic codependency. The couple they are portraying are constantly pulling closer yet then pushing each other away. This relationship is a sexual one that has become too intimate, they are beginning to see into each other and are afraid to develop emotions beyond sexual desire because of their insecurities, but they cannot stay apart for long and always return.
I wish more performers could dance and sing this well! Wow
I super love the dialogue in this song, I don't typically care about lyrics but I love how this song is two people who don't really know what they're doing or how they feel about each other, trying to communicate
They are incredibly intense people, aren't they?

Peter is surprisingly mild in person. His mom is an award winning liberal journalist. Dated his sister through all university. Good people :)
Dissin' Terry ya on stage he is an animal, yet he is such a chill person
I feel ashamed I have been missing out on this AMAZING BAND for years and only recently discovered their music. Burning thru their back catalog and getting to watch them evolve in a matter of hours has been a fun experience. Keep up the amazing work!
lowkey screaming and making a big deal because I sincerely adored this so much. the chemistry and incredible to me and every move was interesting to watch.
This band takes it some real weird places or weird real place. Great!
i know right
The video is a masterpiece just as the song
Huge fan of you guys. I'm also from Canada and I hope to see you live one day! This band deserves to have worldwide recognition, even more so than it currently does.
This is a work of art.
The walk at 1:42 lives rent free in my head
2:49 that synchronized jump cut is chillin. I want to see more of this in life..
I just found July Talk and am completely blown away. It’s like The Cardigans mixed with Rage Against the Machine and Tom Waits... it’s just great. The text, music, arrangement, style - all of it.
ahhhh this makes me super happy inside! although wished Tanya made an appearance in the video :p
The dance as a metaphor for the arguments and clashes of the couple in the relationship as the lyrics suggest is simply... BRILLIANT!
Congrats for the coreographer and the art producers!
This is a pretty captivating music video
So so proud of Tagaq, she slays everything now
The way Peter and Leah look at each other on stage is so beautiful
ikr!
Alyssa Marie they're not together...
random handle from a fandom ik that now :P pretty believable tho fr
Alyssa Marie ya 😂😂
I always see them around and I'm like 99% sure they are together
This has got to be one of my all time favorite videos on RUclips. Concept, visuals, production, song, band, lyrics, total package. Watched many times and always finding something new.
Words could never do this video justice. These guys are so talented, not just as musicians, but as artists. I love their music but finding out they do all their own music videos just gives me a whole new appreciation for them!
When she sings that part "..to feel the unknown" I get goosebumps. This song is amazing.
Saw metric a few years back with my sister and july talk opened up for them and I had no idea who they were , they were amazing live really enjoyed it
July Talk never disappoints ❤
The fucking chemistry is out of this world
The face of a young Steve Buscemi
The voice of Tom Waits
And a unique sound
Damn, Peter Dreimanis has really put together a cool band.
You uh, just described Peter Dreimanis here. Peter Dreimanis has really put together a cool Peter Dreimanis?
Tom de Kler oh my god you're not funny. quit trying so hard.
It was a comment two months ago, roughly the size of a Twitter status. Really did not try hard at all.
agreed....steve buscemi was the first thing I saw! very unique and creative.
Are you implying that you didn't try hard because the comment was two months old?
That doesn't make sense. Go home, you're drunk.
(Rephrase that sentence otherwise)
j'adore merci July Talk I love thank you July Talk From France were u never play and were you should be king of rock stage
One of the best songs and videos I have ever seen. Been a music lover/consumer since 1980
A great example of human achievement. Multiple arts coming together to create something incredible! 👏🏼
Went to July Talk and Metric in concert in London Ontario, they killed it, love this band I even bought a T-shirt haha
The two voices are so different but works so good together.
Love the throat singing! Tanya Tagaq is amazing as always!
Sincere
Ride with this music on steep 😍😍
Love!!!
Something so alluring Leah Fay's voice in this song! It's so captivating. Obviously the awesome riffs too but yeah, definitely an awesome band out of all the crap-pop-rock for the last two decades!
I must have listened to this song 30+ times now.....so damn catchy!
I2wish people knew more and heard more about JulyTalk 2:05
I just saw them live last night. they are the best band live EVER
ARTLOARMS ikr?!
yeah!!!
Holliday Jones agreed!!... I saw them live about 4 years ago and was one of the best shows I have ever been to.
yea well, no not realy, some good songs tho
Doh... I was wondering where Tanya Tagaq was, like where she was singing in this song. Having not knowing who she was, I looked her up. Now, it is so obvious where she is in this song and it's awesome!
These guys are wild and great such a great group 🎵🎵🤘🏼💯
I heard this song on the radio it took me 7 years to find it your not the first to fall to feel alone still hits me
I don't quite understand the abstract "art" of the dancing of their music videos but the mismatch of their voices being on such extreme ends of the spectrum and how they mix together I just find incredible
Love this band, creative music and strange but powerful videos too! The girl reminds me of Metric's singer :)
I so love Canadian talent. And they are the shit. I was at Kongos here in Calgary. I found out July Talk was coming Dec.3. Got home already sold out. Totally bummed I was.
I LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH
I love your avatar those are my faves 😍
|-/
ashley ! |-/ your profile pic tho ❤❤❤❤ FOB is my life
This song perfectly captures the energy of your band. Please never stop.
i love the type of relationship they project. they really don't care aboit what people will think. if they feel like moving a certain way, they will! no fucks given!
it's criminal that this only has 10K views as of this writing...
This song was awesome in STEEP while wing suit flying 😁🤘🏻
:3 July Talk is a continuos Peter + Leah tease
LEGIT
you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
MrDeer Eeeehhhhmmm. Yes.
MrDeer i don't even know why u said that but I fuckin Love it!!! it's so fuckin true, u can run all u want but u can't run away from ur self
This is so incredibly accurate it hurts. They enjoy torturing us and keeping us on the edge, don't they?
Looking forward to seeing them Halloween night!
here from Steep and this is the best song of the game, hands down.
every time I hear one of their songs I hate it the first 5 times but after that I'm in love. not many modern bands can do that from what I've seen
I got shivers through out the whole video. Incredible as always! Really loved the cinematography, especially towards the end.
The directing in this video, the acting, the lighting; AAA storytelling.
I saw you guys before Catfish and the Bottlemen in Bournemouth! I was instantly a fan - keep on making the brilliant music 😁
Não importa quantas vezes eu assista o vídeo, eu sempre fico impressionada com como eles representaram tão bem sentimentos. Pura arte
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST SHOW OF MY LIFE! THE GRIPS OF ROCK AND ROLL IS ALIVE. GO SEE THEM LIVE, BEST OF MY LIFE
love the dynamism in your work!!! And I love tanya's throat singing incorporated into the music!!
This song + video are so full of emotions and I love it so much. Very proud of them, adore this
Lyrics
Why do you want me today?
Is it because you think you're wonderful?
Am I fun to play?
Why do you want me today?
Is it because you think you're wonderful or is it because you think you're worth less than nothing at all?
At your beck and call
We're not the first to fall
To feel unknown
Still we jump at your beck and call
What do you want me to say?
If you want me, I'll be waiting
If you don't, it's okay
Why did you come here today?
Do you really think there's something more to say or do you just need saving?
At your beck and call
We're not the first to fall
To feel unknown
Still we jump at your beck and call
(He loves me, she loves me not)
We're not the first to fall
(She loves me, she loves me not)
To feel alone
(He loves me, he loves me not)
To feel alone
(She loves me, she loves me not)
To feel unwanted
He loves me, he loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not
Blind love in dark bedrooms
Find love within confusion
At your beck and call
(He loves me, he loves me not)
We're not the first to fall
(She loves me, she loves me not)
To feel unknown, still we
(He loves me, she loves me not)
Jump at your beck and call
(He loves me, he loves me not)
We're not the first to fall
(She loves me, she loves me not)
To feel alone
(He loves me, he loves me not)
To feel alone
(She loves me, she loves me not)
To feel unwanted
Yw.
This thank you is 2 years late, but it needs to be said. Thank you ☺️
@@conorlastname882 heh, you're welcome!
Fantastic. Restarted the video just to listen to it while looking at these lyrics.
Very nice job thank you 🍻
This song and video is soo sick
yay I can finally see it for some reason I couldn't see it all day yesterday but I'm happy now I get to see it all day today less than two weeks till I see the more I cannot wait
Such powerful music. I love the sound.
Thank you for coming back to MTL! Can’t wait for April 11th!
can't get enuf of dem two. "blind luv in dark bedrooms" ?? Yowie soooo good
I see where he was inspired for the first line of this song, the movie they are watching in the first part of the tour video. Awesome :)
Omg, this is so intense !! they're dancing, it's so incredible, you know? they dance like it was with the soul .... I loved it. It made me feel alive, it made me want to LIVE, you know? Not that I do not live, but sitting on the couch lost grace. I've never seen a song so alive, thank you.
Seen them tonight in Vancouver at The Commodore.. great show.. sold out show !!
Wish you guys would come to New Zealand love your music
Can't "thumbs-up" this one enough. July Talk revisits the theme of sexual tension often--and manages to hit it out of the park every damn time. This one hits it out of the stratosphere.
Had I not visited Bellingham WA I'd never have heard of them. I wish they played farther south from Canada....on the radio I mean. I love these guys. Their voices totally compliment each other. My fave so far is Lola + Joseph.
whoever directed this video is simply a genius....genuinely!
I'm so obsessed with this song & video. Wow. Just wow.
I love everything, including the throat singing
where is Tanya's throat singing in it? I can't hear it
You can hear it really well at the beginning of the song. At first it's all you hear and then the instruments are introduced.
Discovered this band on accident and damn they are my favorite band now. I wish they would come to Texas. And more people need to hear them!
They give off something animal (and/so wild). LOVE ♡
Fuck man, it's been almost a decade now and I'm still SO obsessed with their sound but I never found any other songs besides this one that I really dug. I guess I should try their most recent album. Any one else felt this way? I mean god what great voices, he is so fucking cool I love him
also dude the choreography in this music video is damn sick
ok actually I remember liking Summer Dress. but god damn they really failed to capitalize on this sound, most of their songs sound nothing like this
I want to see these guys when they come to Calgary on Dec.3rd. Apparently they are sold out.
Saw them live years ago and man it was the best day ever ❤️🤌🏼
Ahhh I loooove everything about this music video and song❤️❤️
exceptional band and exceptional performers...............
Love it! Glad you guys music are playing on Quebec radio
They keep getting better and better. I am still so very sad I missed them at the Sound of Music festival. =(
My favourite please come to PERTH Western Australia some day.
Just heard this on Serius Satalite radio, glad I caught it and I have never heard of them. Intense video, catch the shirt changes? Thought I was going crazy.
How th hell did i just find them?? AMAZING MUSIC!!!!!
WELCOME ABOARD
watching this several times a day for over a week now. So amazing.
Awesome can't live without it
Fuck! Every Song of this Band is more unique and creative than whole Albums of other Bands.. Amazing..
No words. This is just so stunningly raw and beautiful. Never truly understood the song until now. Even having listened to it a million times.
Loves these guys and it is AWESOME Tanya Tagaq is featured in it!!!
God i love this song so much .Their voices are so unique - try listening to this song full blast while driving!!! So fucking awesome. You wont regret it ;)
Mmngh, I love this band! Love their chemistry, the way they stare
just saw this band for the first time this week! blown away + addicted ever since!
Going to see them next week in NY! Stoked af.
