This is one of the most overlooked bands of our generation. It's our pink floyd, beach boys, whatever else you want to compare them to all rolled into one and everyone glosses over them.
+austin78993 A lot of people don't get Pink Floyd either. If Grizzly Bear is just on in the background, I don't appreciate it at all. I have to stop everything and let hem have my full attention. I have to give them that moment of my life. Then it's beautiful beyond words. Most people don't give any music their full attention. Only true music lovers do that. That's why we aren't such fans of mainstream pop. That stuff plays better in the background of your attention. If you listen too close, it's exposed in all it's shallow glory.
They've been my favorite band for the past four or five years and I rarely meet people who like them as much as I do. Not only that but dude how can a bad be so versatile? They go from experimental folk-rock on Yellow House to I-don't-even-know-how-to-describe with Veckatimest (baroque indie pop?) to Shields which I just think of as a rock album (the "just" meaning insanely well produced and sounding, emotionally resonant and yet accessible). I wonder what this year's album will sound like. I'm eagerly waiting and believe it or not haven't seem them live yet, so now is my chance.
They really aren't glossed over or ignored, it's just that there is no longer a music industry today so bands aren't promoted as much as they to be in the past where record companies use to spend millions and recoup it all when fans went out and bought the records. If Grizzly bear existed back in the 1970s or 1980s they probably would have been selling a couple million records which would have been a sound investment for record companies, but today, no way. Nobody buys records anymore and RUclips is the biggest reason for that. In the past people would buy records at record stores to hear songs they love, today they just go to RUclips and it costs them nothing, and what gets me is RUclips is owned by Google which is a multi-billion dollar company and NOBODY sues them for copyright infringement?? WTF? The profits have literally shifted from the bands who actually make the music to f*ckin' Google who make billions in ad revenue. Like this for example, WTF is their album "Painted ruins" doing on RUclips for anyone to download for free? Why is Grizzly bear allowing Google to profit from a record THEY made?.............ruclips.net/video/GI1Mj5O5OjU/видео.html
I guess "Two Weeks" kinda took off, people knew the song from ads but not the band. Unfortunate really. One of the best bands ever yet most people won't know.
@@anthonycleary4676 for sure. I’ll never forget hearing “yellow house” when it came out. Such a talented group of guys. Honestly I thought they were set after “two weeks” came out.🤷🏻♂️ tough time to be a unique and creative artist. (I would’ve died a happy man just getting signed to warp records honestly😂🤷🏻♂️).
Holy crap this nostalgia is crazy! I was in high school when my friend Michael recommended this song to me. I had it on repeat while studying math homework for a year and haven’t heard it since. Crazy more than a decade has passed.
Haha, I'm so glad they showed the drummer. They had me worried. It's like, he's there making incredible rhythmic work, and doesn't get any credit. Everyone in this band is amazing.
It's real cool to see Rossen visually engaging the chord changes. It's as if he's still coming to grips with the complex fingerings and changes he put into the song. Very copacetic.
this bass player is really incredible, what a good nice playing (a bit like paul Mccartney sgt pepper's era bass playing) and he reaches the perfect vocal harmony while playing.. oh and all of the members of this band are eaqually incredible.. this is a GREAT band.
For these 4 to have found each other amazes me. The talent is beyond beautiful. Beach Boy harmonies come to mind as it should. Never heard a band so clean live. What an experience
Can't believe this was 10 years ago... I've followed them for so long and their sound has changed so much over the years. I miss this era of the band, but I can't discredit what they've done lately at all. Haha I just love Daniel's influence on the band. His vibe, music, and creativity have had a major influence on me.
Wow, this is incredible. This is among the best songs I've ever heard. And performed so well. When the background voices came in they sounded so perfect I thought they had to have been recorded and played back as a sample.
i think that the most powerful thing of this band is the combination of voices. In all the songs I heard of grizzly bear (just a few I'm still a n0ob) the voice is what makes the most of the songs.
Theres a revolution! Recently some excellent music has been coming out in all styles. Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, and others. Not even to stop there, hip hop has been progressing too with DOOM, Danger Mouse, etc. Just because the people at your school or wherever only listen to whats forced down their throats and they strangely choose to die by it doesn't mean music out there is bad. We're living in a great time!
This song is absolutely amazing. The arrangement of the vocals is splendid, and every time I listen to the song, the subtleties of the instrumentation amaze me more. I worry that this band may not produce another masterpiece song as this. Love it while it lasts!!!
The best thing about this band for me is that they all look so casual... they look like someone you could meet walking down the street.. just 4 fairly ordinary men playing music
Besides the bridge this sounds so remarkably like the recorded version. I really hope they make a new album. So talented and in tune with one another it seems.
I'm with you on this. It is beyond me why people have to start comparing artists (in a sense of "better" or "worse") with one another in the first place. Also some people don't realise it's been quite some time since quality music was generally widely appreciated.
song is sick... sound takes you back to the 60's when people actually wrote songs and truly played them!! Authentic sound, there actually is depth and harmonies to the sound unlike 99% of the crap they call music today...

+Paul Phillips nailed it, awakened
Me too, i am very excited to hear it! Hoping to see them live as soon as they tour for sure.

Such an underrated group. Natural, precise, creative.... never understood why they didn’t take off.

? they're fairly well known among hipsters/indy scene.
@@sub-harmonik that's a given
If I had performed at the Sydney Opera House and on Letterman as they did, I'd have considered myself taken off.
dans guitar sounds so fucking good....jesus. also has an irreplacable timber to his voice. such a warm gentle relaxing tone.
He has my favorite voice in the band for sure... So haunting.
Holy crap this nostalgia is crazy! I was in high school when my friend Michael recommended this song to me. I had it on repeat while studying math homework for a year and haven’t heard it since.

it is a rickenbacker !
;)
Paul McCartney's secret nefew....shhhhhhhhh
For these 4 to have found each other amazes me. The talent is beyond beautiful. Beach Boy harmonies come to mind as it should. Never heard a band so clean live. What an experience
im hopelessly in love with every single member of this band.
This sounds almost exactly like the recording, GEEZ!!!
Easily one of the best bands of the 2000s indie music scene.
Can't believe this was 10 years ago... I've followed them for so long and their sound has changed so much over the years.

the best Grizzly Bear song ever......beautiful
Wow, this is incredible. This is among the best songs I've ever heard. And performed so well. When the background voices came in they sounded so perfect I thought they had to have been recorded and played back as a sample.
One of the most underrated bands of the last 20 years and one of the most underrated drummers as well.
The best performance and recording of this song anywhere. 16 years later still takes my breathe away
Every time I come back to this song I transcend. Truly magical
its amazing that performance was live....perfect
Simply one of the best live rock and roll performances ever recorded.
addicted to this song.
KRCW brings out the best sounding live sessions with the best bands, thank god for public radio
i think that the most powerful thing of this band is the combination of voices. In all the songs I heard of grizzly bear (just a few I'm still a n0ob) the voice is what makes the most of the songs.
Can't believe this was 16 years ago...
3:28-3:51.....absolutely beautiful.
I can't get over how simply amazing they are.
This is amazing - can't believe it hasn't had more plays... this is the first thing I saw from Grizzly Bear and that was well over a year ago.
These guys are just freakin wonderful sounding.
Theres a revolution! Recently some excellent music has been coming out in all styles. Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, and others. Not even to stop there, hip hop has been progressing too with DOOM, Danger Mouse, etc.

This is an unbelievable version. Very calm, with excellent instrumentation and vocals.
It's just simply masterful. Perfect in every way.
This song is absolutely amazing. The arrangement of the vocals is splendid, and every time I listen to the song, the subtleties of the instrumentation amaze me more. I worry that this band may not produce another masterpiece song as this. Love it while it lasts!!!
Aw man, this song hits the spot every. single. time!
love love love. can watch again and again and just love it more each time!
This song is so bad ass. I love the chorus.
One of my favs for sure
I think it's so stimulating to watch such splendid musicians write such lovely songs.
Must be wonderful live
💓💓💓this band
agreed. CT has a gorgeous voice. I hope he's featured more on the new album.
The best thing about this band for me is that they all look so casual... they look like someone you could meet walking down the street.. just 4 fairly ordinary men playing music
Ohmygod it's so beautiful live. His voice is amazing. :')
What a man Dan is
this album is one of the best I've ownex
same and my first haha
The vocal harmonies make this song.
This BASSLINE.....
Just heard of them today and love their voices and songs!!
i'm a new fan. just falling in love with them completely. all of their song are profoundly beautiful. and yes everything they do is phenomenal.
sounds incredible 'live'
this never ceases to captivate me... Thank you x
I love the backing vocals
This is freaking amazing! wow.
Besides the bridge this sounds so remarkably like the recorded version. I really hope they make a new album. So talented and in tune with one another it seems.
the best and most original band for the past 10 years... all the other stuff is a mimic from what is heard elsewhere.
I'm with you on this. It is beyond me why people have to start comparing artists (in a sense of "better" or "worse") with one another in the first place. Also some people don't realise it's been quite some time since quality music was generally widely appreciated.
Wow, seriously they have got to be one of the most talented bands out there.
just getting into these. sounds great. nice gentle flowing guitar throughout
this made me tear up
they are THE BAND in this moment, and I'm sure they will be doing great stuff in the future
his voice is so amazing!!
Love this Band. Love this Song. Don't stop writting this great music. Please!! It's so inspiring.
Came here to hear 3:28-3:51 expecting a mess. Instead, I find myself surprised and impressed.
My favorite part ugh ❤️
I love Grizzly Bear so, so much.
Ed Droste has one of the most beautiful voices i have heard in a long time. So unique and pure.
i'm surpised at how EVERYONE sings beautifully!
these guys make me very happy.
I LOVE THIS BAND

yea ed's voice on two weeks is amazing. its a very nostalgic feeling song and his voice works so well for it
i love all of you for loving this
Great song, great band... wish I could find the version of them on Letterman playing this one. Blew my mind.
Real talent. Beautiful.
Grizzly Bear owns!
Yellow house is thoroughly genius, I can't wait for their next album, it's gonna be siiiick, more heavy I'm guessing.
I am addicted to this song.
this is incredible
This is awesome! Perfect song
Gah I love how vocally powerful Grizzly Bear is.
thanks, i checked it out and its AWESOME!!
absolutely amazing song
I can't help but hear a bit of Crosby Still and Nash at times in their sound, voices, harmony
This is the kind of song that just grows inside of you...
This is exceptional!

simply beatiful
I agree with you there.

song is sick... sound takes you back to the 60's when people actually wrote songs and truly played them!! Authentic sound, there actually is depth and harmonies to the sound unlike 99% of the crap they call music today...
Incredible.
