I was dying of an eating disorder at the time when this song came out (2009) & I was obsessed with the YYY’s. My memory is of my parents driving me 4 hours south to go to inpatient treatment & we listened to this album on repeat on the way down. We all cried when this song would play. It was the first time I ever saw my Dad cry. It ultimately gave me strength to overcome anorexia because I didn’t want my family to hurt. Impactful song in my life, forever.
Lyrics: Love my name Love left dry Frost or flame Skeleton me Fall asleep Spin the sky Skeleton me Love, don't cry Love, don't cry Love, don't cry Skeleton me Skeleton me Soon comes rain Dry your eyes Frost or flame Skeleton me Fall asleep Spin the sky Skeleton me Love, don't cry Love, don't cry Love, don't cry Skeleton me Skeleton me Skeleton me
My friend from work died last year in November while on vacation with her family. We shared so many beautiful moments laughing at work memes and funny RUclips videos on our breaks and for that, I dedicate this song to her memory. Rest in peace, work bestie, you will always be remembered 🙏🕊️
Prior to the death of my dad, I had always struggled to fully understand this song, but when i listened to it, shattered a few days after his burial, I got it, I really and truly got it and for a moment it brought me comfort. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I thank you.
You could have used the X-ray thing on Amazon Prime Video to find out the songs in the show for every scene. It also tells you the name of the actors for each character with a picture, it helps you to learn the names of the actors and actresses who are in each scene.
Watching “Before I Fall” and then this song starts playing on that one scene, literally started to cry because just the combination of both the movie and the song were perfect, I can’t express that enough
it's weird as i'm hearing the lyrics "Love, don't cry" i start to feel a lump in my throat, my heart sinks, and all i actually want to do is cry my heart out. this song is just so absolutely beautiful it evokes so much emotion and melancholic but still also very comforting i can't really fathom it...this is why i love music
It's just fractionation seduction. Like in land before time when little foots mom died, "I'll always be with you, even if you can't see me" high and low in one sentence, it's basically sandwich tactics ❤
you know how sometimes you put on a random youtube mix late at night and start drifting off to sleep and a truly haunting song comes on and locks you in the limbo between wakefulness and dreams and the music takes you to some pretty dark but sublime places (in the greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement, or imitation meaning of the word) in your mind and in the morning your alarm brutalizes you conscious and you see a gray sky and rain streaks on your window and feel a sense of I need to hear that song once more and you can't remember how it sounded but it still plays at the back of your mind and you kind of want to tear your hair out and set it on fire in the vain hope that the stinking sacrifice will somehow appease whatever memory demon that holds that tip of the tongue nonrecognition of the song hostage and it lets you remember and months go by suddenly one day youtube asks "hey wanna play this song again?" and you do and then you have to excuse yourself and go sob in the bathroom for a minute?
This band has quite some range: Dreamy, atmospheric numbers like this one; dancy songs like Cheated Hearts and Turn Into; dark-churning rock like Isis; straight ballads like Maps. And a frontwoman with electric stage presence! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are definitely underrated...!
Makes me think of my Father. He passed away 9 yrs ago. He was a musician and a D.j. he was a true artist could play his instruments all by ear. When he died a piece of me died and I never thought I would come to leave with his early death you see he was my biggest supporter. My favorite teacher my mentor. I've always loved The Yeah yeah yeahs and he did too. When I saw this video and heard the song for the first time. I felt his soul near me. I understand the lyrics in my own way. To me The lyrics are him saying that he will always be with me everywhere I go. At the cemetery he is mearly bones, a Skeleton. He is up there always spinning the sky and Rocking the Heavens. Basically do not stand at my grave and cry. ( Love)
bestsundaydress I discovered this song through a piece that’s being performed by my dance studio, and the meaning behind it is to honor our main instructors father.... makes you think
I always imagine d something like a funeral where they launch a body out to see then at the music rises it a flaming arrow hits it. Something like that.
growing up, it was always me and my mom. she was 19 years old and taking care of me by herself. around 2010-2012 , me and my mom were heavily poor and we were being abused by my father. he wasnt around at ALL. it was always me and my mom. her still being a teen, she had to work multiple jobs and move to multiple different houses while still attending college. i remember her always playing this song.I always called it the "cracked egg" because that was the album photo, lol. just recently, i asked my mom "whats the name of the song with the cracked egg?" she knew exactly what i was talking about it & when i listened to the song, i cried because it brung me right back to when we were seriously struggling. i cry HARD. my mom faught so hard to give me the best childhood ever while being mentally and physically abused. I seriously think this song is one of the reasons why she kept on fighting. thank you.
This goes perfectly with how I'm feeling at the moment. . . it's almost enough to bring me to tears. This song isn't just great music, it's ART. This is something special.
+Brandon Sly This song fit the theme and mood perfectly! I was really hoping for a little something beyond the explosion, it left so many loose ends and I really doubt they're going to renew it for a third season.
This is a timeless song. It deserves more views. I am willing to bet that some hipster will rediscover this song in 10 years and it will jettison to the top of the charts.
The irony is that under this video, everyone seems to be talking about Of Monsters and Men, whereas under the Of Monsters and Men cover video, everyone seems to be talking about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
The song that my beloved proposed to me with. It is one of my favorite songs ever. We were dancing to this in the park at night while it was raining and he got done on one knee. 🖤
how does this video only have 314,000 views??? this is such a wonderful song!!!! Way better than any pop hit out there!!! This band deserves way more love and recognition than it currently has!!!!!!!!!!
I like how they portray death, something that's typically a somber subject, in a positive light. Makes me feel as if I'm free. This video really is good!
I interpret the lyric “ Love don’t cry” two ways. #1 - she’s telling her Love/ loved one not to cry and #2 - she’s saying that Love (the supposed loving actions of others) aren’t supposed to make you cry. #2 is a good reason to peace out IMHO.
My thoughts: stop comparing the different versions of this song. It's not about who "did the song better." Music Artists release covers of songs to put their own spin on it/ leave their mark but not because they think their performance will be superior! Enjoy as many versions of this song as you like.
Manhattan brought me here. it was a great show and the last two episodes were some of the best out of any show that I've watched. I hope there's a season 3
I'm late to the game as far as Yeah Yeah Yeahs are concerned although so grateful I finally got here. This song is transcendental and this album (It's Blitz) is flawless. Literally not one bad song.
So we are all in agreement the song is haunting and invokes a powerful emotional response that is unique to each of our life experiences. Now let’s acknowledge the talented musicians who brought it to life. This was covered by the band of monsters and men okay but yeah yeah yeahs did it best. Finally a nod to the music director who chose the original artists version for the movie Before I Fall hope they were paid well for a job well done!
anyone else just get sudden flashbacks to the sense of immense ~joy and warm loving feeling that this band captured with so much of this particular album and become a teary eyed mess LOLLL
this song [as well as stuff like Soft Shock] basically feels like a hug to me at this point, i always think of how i would listen the hell out of this CD with my older siblings when it was new; the soft honeyed vocal delivery met with the richness of the music, the warm buzz of the guitar even, especially on slower songs like this, honestly mirrors so well that feeling i had of being surrounded in love
Just remembered the yeah yeah yeahs tthis evening! and omg... love her voice. Reminds me of when i was child... needed music like this back then. LOVE IT.,,, Heard her when i was with my cousin driving from manitoba to ontario.
I believe that whoever invented the song sings it the best because they have that connection with the song that nobody else can have, because its theirs.
WOW of monsters and men is my favorite band but this original is much better than their cover. But that goes without say i suppose. The OMAM cover is still amazing though but this one sent me into oblivion
Two bands I listen to have made covers of songs by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I remember vaguely listening to the OMAM cover, and a few months later. getting into YYYs, finding this song and instantly recognizing it. You can almost feel your mind travel to a distant place. This is a great song.
:: This is so beautifully Celtic in feeling, composition, & instrumentation, the only thing that's missing are the bagpipes. And sorry, Karen, I've failed you . . . you actually DID make me cry. Namasté ~ (•8-D
The real irony is that people have forgotten how to sit back and just enjoy the music itself. Who cares who did it better? You like which version you like and that's fine. Stop wasting time writing on the song you don't like and try to be positive for once. There's too much war, negativity and sadness in the world. SPREAD POSITIVE WORDS AND THOUGHTS. Put the word human back in humanity and love each other.

Thank you for sharing that, I hope you are doing well
@@randmartinez1231 thank you, I really appreciate that. These days I’ve mostly overcome my ED in general but this song will always make me feel feels.
Thank you
I hope you continue to be well.
Thank you for sharing your story with the world. All my best wishes to you and your family.
❤ I hear you.
Before I Fall ❤
When I heard this song in before I fall I instantly loved the movie so much more
Emily Chandler ♥ The only and beautiful movie i think after titanic, Forrest Gum, and others haha
Yeah
Yesss
been looking for this song ever since i watched that movie. the scene was so fucken perfect i could've cried 💙
Lyrics:
Love my name
Love left dry
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Soon comes rain
Dry your eyes
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton me

My heart just explode when sam dies
BEFORE I FALL
zak Hattab spoiling the ending here?
Steve Penkfan sorry man i couldn't hold my self
I know right I literally watched it twice and cried twice
Couldn't help yourself from spoiling it for others? So disrespectful
@@ameliacai572 that's still a spoiler lol ... Who reads discriptions on Google.
Heard it on Hanna and had to Shazam it! Season 1 was great!

@@olivierlazure5720 It show the characters name but it didn't tell about song. If it does can you tell me how to enable it?
Oliver Queen is oliver queen ur real name? asking for a friend 🤠
Same here, it was amazing
Ahah same for me just finish the season and use shazam for find the title

ALL THE THIS.
THIS IS SO LOVELY. YOU SIR HAVE A MAGICAL WAY WITH WORDS
What you saying is you burnt your hair...
I tried. It didn't help.
Your words are very Bengali.
This band has quite some range: Dreamy, atmospheric numbers like this one; dancy songs like Cheated Hearts and Turn Into; dark-churning rock like Isis; straight ballads like Maps. And a frontwoman with electric stage presence! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are definitely underrated...!
Can we all agree Before I Fall AND Hanna were amazing uses of this song?
Oh, and if you knew of this band before too, that's cool as well :)
I mean, i know of the artist and a few other songs but not this one, i learned this one from before I fall
Karen O is such a legend... this song is so eerie, beautiful and sad at once
This songs belongs to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Is she the main singer?
@@leonardogabrieltrevinoloba2377 yeah, yeah and yeahs
@@leonardogabrieltrevinoloba2377 C'mon man. You've got to know that shit.
She's one of the coolest people on the planet.
Samantha
it's in the trailer.
this song should have been the credits... holy crap my heart would bleed at the end.
Connor Stephens you are talking about "HER" ?
Mavi Juárez yes
I have so many questions after reading this comments
I don't know why but everytime i hear this song i just want to cry my eyes out
+I like narwhals Yeah
Reminds me of some old feelings I forgot I had. Makes me sad every time I hear it
Makes me think of my Father. He passed away 9 yrs ago. He was a musician and a D.j. he was a true artist could play his instruments all by ear.

This song always makes me want to cry.... I think of my mother when I hear it.....

Me too. She passed away 2013.
who?
much love to you man
I think of my mother too
This song makes me wanna stand on a rooftop in the night with a flare in my hand screaming until all tears are dry.
Yes! The flare!
hell yeah dude
Yes screaming until I can’t anymore
Your name is totally rad
o the cringe
Hanna ♥️. What an ending 🤧.
This song belongs in a movie. Like a scene where the main character comes to a realization about life or something like that
I always imagine d something like a funeral where they launch a body out to see then at the music rises it a flaming arrow hits it. Something like that.
+Warrior17 this is in the tv show "Manhattan"
+theMCweasel very good show, about the building of the first atomic bombs
What episode?
Jose Alfonso Villalobos the show is on amazon and is called "manhattan" and idk what episode but it is good show
growing up, it was always me and my mom. she was 19 years old and taking care of me by herself. around 2010-2012 , me and my mom were heavily poor and we were being abused by my father. he wasnt around at ALL. it was always me and my mom. her still being a teen, she had to work multiple jobs and move to multiple different houses while still attending college. i remember her always playing this song.I always called it the "cracked egg" because that was the album photo, lol. just recently, i asked my mom "whats the name of the song with the cracked egg?" she knew exactly what i was talking about it & when i listened to the song, i cried because it brung me right back to when we were seriously struggling. i cry HARD. my mom faught so hard to give me the best childhood ever while being mentally and physically abused. I seriously think this song is one of the reasons why she kept on fighting. thank you.
if this isn't a beautiful song, then i don't know what is
violet bowie I do recommend to you to try to collect the band "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" albums discography. -J.T
OMAM's version.
This was something special to hear live, it was hands down the best gig I've ever been to. So happy that they've finally made a video for it.
when this played in before i fall, i started to cry so hard
This goes perfectly with how I'm feeling at the moment. . . it's almost enough to bring me to tears. This song isn't just great music, it's ART. This is something special.
This song is so perfect at the end of Hanna!!
I miss you yeah yeah yeahs!! I need more!
Finally the bomb goes off,awesome series cool ride.
Nice tune.
+Brandon Sly was perfect what a ride.

I'm 73 years old,,,love this video !
One of the most haunting yet beautiful songs I've ever heard. This puts me in a trance every time I hear it
This song offered me deep comfort during a time of walking away. 🖤
Hanna last scene with Clara
Really awesome
Yeah yeah yeahs its awesome
Really glad Of Monsters and Men covered this, I probably never would have heard of it otherwise. Great song.
I never knew they covered it! Thanks, I'll have to try it as I like everything else they do.
The irony is that under this video, everyone seems to be talking about Of Monsters and Men, whereas under the Of Monsters and Men cover video, everyone seems to be talking about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
ikr
Electra Hansford Yeah, that's funny.
Electra Hansford gotta love OMAM
"Her" trailer is one of the best trailers ever!
Her voice is always very beautiful 😍
This song is extremely amaazing to the max, makes me dwell on how thankful I am to be alive.. so beautiful! Just a little slice of heaven..
Can't wait to see the movie, Her... I listen to this song over and over to prep myself
The song that my beloved proposed to me with. It is one of my favorite songs ever. We were dancing to this in the park at night while it was raining and he got done on one knee. 🖤
The music is magical, it penetrates deep under the skin 🤩...
o
I came here for Hanna - Prime Video! 💙
R.I.P Erik 😟
Hanna, Eric, we're gonna miss you so much :///
Hanna and Eric where the best in the movie it really made me cry😂
how does this video only have 314,000 views??? this is such a wonderful song!!!! Way better than any pop hit out there!!! This band deserves way more love and recognition than it currently has!!!!!!!!!!
First heard it on Hanna. Been on repeat for a few days.
Best version of this song. It also happens to be the original. Very beautiful.
Thanks Hanna...I have found gem of a song
Thanks to Before I Fall, I found this beautiful music !
Before I fall in the ending made me felt who I really am for the first time in a while thank u 🙏
Yes
thank you for this song. This is exactly what I need right now
My mom introduced me to this band when I was 2 I love it still ❤️
I like how they portray death, something that's typically a somber subject, in a positive light. Makes me feel as if I'm free.
This video really is good!
I need to see "before I fall" because everything here talk about It.
watch it, its really beautiful
It’s now on Netflix good movie but sad
Don't watch it. READ IT. based on a book
@@ChristianBelman 👀 ooh! Thanks I didnt know, both are excellent option!
Before I Fall brought me here. Love this Song. The music is heavenly 😍
Before I Fall 😍😍
Yes

I cry every time. RIP Connor and Daniella 2015
Here I am about a year later, crying again.. but it feels good to remember how much they mean to me still..
Before I fall
i love this movie
i havent heard this song in yeeeeeears. I forgot all about it and it gave me goosebumps when i heard it again on Hannah. NICE 👍
Gives me goose bumps everytime i listen.
My thoughts: stop comparing the different versions of this song. It's not about who "did the song better." Music Artists release covers of songs to put their own spin on it/ leave their mark but not because they think their performance will be superior! Enjoy as many versions of this song as you like.
Just watched before i fall and I can't stop crying. The ending hurt so badly, but taught me a lesson and made me realize some things. Amazing move.
before I fall brought me 💙💔
okay serrinda😘😫
Still the best after more than a decade.
Manhattan brought me here. it was a great show and the last two episodes were some of the best out of any show that I've watched. I hope there's a season 3
I'm late to the game as far as Yeah Yeah Yeahs are concerned although so grateful I finally got here. This song is transcendental and this album (It's Blitz) is flawless. Literally not one bad song.

Thanks for revealing this. I always found this song resembled the sound of OMAM (especially "Yellow Light") somehow.
this song brings comfort to me whenever i'm feeling down. thank you Yeah Yeah Yeahs & OMAM.
Hanna brought me here! Beautiful song
Why hasn't this music video gotten a 4k restoration? It's so beautiful.
Hanna season one finale broke me 💔
anyone else just get sudden flashbacks to the sense of immense ~joy and warm loving feeling that this band captured with so much of this particular album and become a teary eyed mess LOLLL
this song [as well as stuff like Soft Shock] basically feels like a hug to me at this point, i always think of how i would listen the hell out of this CD with my older siblings when it was new; the soft honeyed vocal delivery met with the richness of the music, the warm buzz of the guitar even, especially on slower songs like this, honestly mirrors so well that feeling i had of being surrounded in love
who else is here bc of Before I Fall?? my favoriteee movie omfg
Hailey Wood, Have you heard of monsters and mens version of this song? Check it out.
Just remembered the yeah yeah yeahs tthis evening! and omg... love her voice. Reminds me of when i was child... needed music like this back then. LOVE IT.,,,
Heard her when i was with my cousin driving from manitoba to ontario.
before i fall brought me here
eddiebcha same
Of Monsters and Men brought me here
eddiebcha me too
Same!
same
yes you do.
their lyrics are so cool because they are not obvious and you can give them your own interpretation... they are free to be themselves!
Reminds me of those German Expressionist films from the 1920s
Came across a movie "Before I Fall" this morning and I knew this was going to be my favourite song for a very long time ❤️❤️
Here thanks to Before I Fall, which was amazing
yaassss
me too. lets all fall together :P
Yeha me too
Hanna episode 8 makes me discover this beautiful song!
Absolutely beautiful.
I believe that whoever invented the song sings it the best because they have that connection with the song that nobody else can have, because its theirs.
WOW of monsters and men is my favorite band but this original is much better than their cover. But that goes without say i suppose. The OMAM cover is still amazing though but this one sent me into oblivion
Absolutely great song....I'm glad that released a video for it
before i fall❤️
Havent been so happy to hear a sing for the first time in so long I couldnt say what it even was. Thank you YYYs.
PERFECT FOR HANNA AND ERIC. LOVE THE MOVIE HANNA REST IN PIECE ERIC!!!😢
omg!!!YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are so freaking awesome and I can honestly say there's nothing bad I can ever say about them...they are AMAZING!!!!

Its their song and your precious little cover wouldnt exist without it
+Erin Grant Im guessing you refer to OMAM, didnt like that version at all. For me is disrespectful that people even start to think OMAM did this.
Definition of brilliant.
Eu sou apaixonada por essa banda pq tem uma música deles que foi a primeira vez que eu escutei com a pessoa que eu amo! Gregory♡
Yes, the desire to listen to freaking good music
before I fall ❤
