It’s been 10+ years, so I can finally admit: I hung a couple of those frames behind the couch and was sitting a few feet to the left of the screen while they were shooting. It feels so good to get that out.
How lucky!
This makes my heart so happy to listen to again after all these years. Thank you why? 💚
"Bitter thoughts? Liver spots or bash your skull on river rocks.."
hahah! If yer feeling down, then your two option are to either drink, or call it quits.
Nice world play!
I love Yoni and his self-deprecating rap. The undeserved celebration of ego is normally nowhere to be seen in his music, unlike most rap.
I appreciate people with little ego as well.
Can't stop watching this. Gonna see them this month!
FUCK! why is Why? so unappreciated?
You have been my favorite band since I watched you open for islands back in 2005.
That chorus gets me every time
Who's hear listening from 2020 and flashing back to being in their early 20's and thinking about how different shit was?
Me! this song is a great peace of music, man Why? is simply too good to be successfull in the industry.... But I keep on waiting for new music of you....... come on, give it another try!!
This deserves WAY more views.
Love ya lots
xox
this is still one of the most beautiful things on the internet
They should have an album called: "who, what, when, where and-"
oh my goodddd yes
This video is absolutely perfect. As, is the album.
I’ve been fortunate enough to see WHY? live a couple times and god damn it’s such a pleasure watching Josiah play drums.
oh my god yes i saw yoni twice, once during his old dope tour when he played the glass house with serengeti and it was fucking amazing... got a signed poster and i think i actually weirded yoni out by being awkward which is like ok shit i weirded out the weirdest artist i kno so thats gotta mean smth lmfao. saw him play during the mo lhean tour at the fonda i think and that was even better. theyre all playing 3 different instruments at once and then switching every other song. such a talented band theres a reason why? is my favorite act of all time
why are there like no music videos for this bands music? They're one of my favorites hands down but they have like genuinely no videos made during alopecia-eskimo snow era that I can tell? Did they get scrubbed from the archives or just weren't any ever made?
she sounds like the lead singer of Metric.
I wish i could like this song a million times
THANK YOU KEEP MAKING ALBUMS PLEASE!
i must say, thats quite a nice bassline
I would love to see more songs get a video! Love it
I feel liiike....you need to come back to this side of the pond and visit Detroit.
YONI, you never fail to amaze me with your lyrical genius! much love! WHY? kicks ass!
Hell yeah cardigans!!
The drums sound so good, Josiah is a champion
I really like the symbolism with his brother listening in on the therapy
Yoni's face at 2:00
I just get that vibe. This is the first time I've heard the song. I've been a little busy to follow this whole double release technique. If you're the same team that did the Doc than even more props! The context and the different messages that are present and aside from the music are very interesting. Very well executed. You made stitch-work psychedelia for Christ sake. That's impressive. And I wonder where you got that inspiration from ... nah-mean?
Best song on this album.
I personally love his and the band's older stuff a lot more better. Newer stuff doesn;t seem as "deep", which isn't a bad thing, I personally enjoy his darker stuff. glad to see him sticking around though and continuing to experiment and evolve
It's all deep. If you want DARK, listen to doseone. He's full of demons.
I think I know what you mean, but I also think Yoni/Why? is challenging in a way that's difficult to access immediately. Even the old stuff has always been a hard sell to gfs and friends that don't get it right away or arent willing to to listen a few times... I think that's part of what makes them/him so special. The new stuff is as good. We're just older.
Damn, this video was ridiculously impressive
Killer direction!
SO GOOD!!
Yeah very very very goooooooood
awesome stuff
good question!
Lyrics: Keep your producer guessing
When you're in the booth confessing
And say it was mostly fiction
If they ever come to get you
Better bet your bottom dollar
On the spirit, son, and father
That I'll spit and shit and holler, yeah
Cause I'm my mother's daughter
Be warned, my temper burns
Like a ginger-blow pugilist
Unconcerned, I never learned to swing elbows
Or use my fist
Trying to live and let live and focus
Invest in problem markets
But killer's on a road trip
His text says not with carcass
From the backs of tent flyers in pen
The guilt-racked liar pretends to confess
When I was a little fat kid
I'd throw fits and punch doors
My frame is the same
I've just thinned; I want more
Down pinned on the floor
Trading places with my shadow
A pallid sallow corpse for a rising hell to swallow
Fully unarmed or armed under the robes with a staff only
Or unarmed fully under the robes
Through the ribs and inner but
But for a bulging lung of poison
Poised to voice its cuts
And what's worse, of course
The sick and bile-y guts
From the backs of tent flyers in pen
The guilt-racked liar pretends to confess
They asked him whether he was sane
And if he'll ever kill again
Take half a clever lawyer's brain
To link the weapon to the man
Bitter thoughts, liver spots
Or bash your skull on river rocks
Love you lots, signed mom with hearts
OXOX on a Hallmark card
From the backs of tent flyers in pen
The guilt-racked liar pretends to confess
See that graph button next to the hit count? RUclips hits count when the video is started. On soundcloud however you get a hit after the song has been played through.
You guys really out did yourselves.
omg wow i luv itttttt
What a neat little video! Liz wolf is also very pretty!
Yoni I love you so much!!!!
Damn Yoni's looking good. Come back to the UK soon, you guys rocked.
Yoni you're ridiculous, but a boss at the same time. Great song and video.
This is one of those songs you listen to on repeat.
No it’s not
i like this a lot
i think they'll be in london around june, it's all on their facebook page
you guys are gangsters
This man deserves an Oscar
He's a legend
seen them a couple years ago. i remember this being the best one they played... was high af
I wasn't sure at first, but I really like this
yoni's so awkward, I love it
they going to be in canada at 14th June 2013, in toronto.
That last one was the best lmao
liz hodson is so beautiful
She's a Wolf now. Her name is Liz Wolf.
Shit reminds me of "I talk to the wind"
Underrated rap for real
i like the way liz blinks
I love his over-dramatic hand gestures lmfao so fucking funny
a B.C date has been added. nothing for the east coast or Ontario though :(
Aaaaaaaand! The video will climax at 88k! Get me a soda!
It's where you get your maple syrup, give respect where it's due.
I LOVE WHY?????????????
you. you're cool.
modest mouse and WHY?
maaan, don't just jump at me like that
Wait wut...Can anyone in the know tell me when they're touring England? I heard they're due here soon...
i mean you'll go to slovenia but not toronto, canada?!?! come on :(
amen
his face at 2:01 and 2:21 proof that yoni is perfect
killer
so cool! if i were to guess the meaning behind it id probably say that the white family isnt so perfect as you think?
@Anon Ymous I disagree. It's music, and it sounds great. I can put Why? on shuffle and listen to every song. I've been listening to The Early Whitney EP a lot, recently. Sure, some albums are better, but it's got a certain vibe to it. Just like every one of Yone Bone's albums. If you were a die-hard fan, then you would support them in all of their decisions they make, and at least keep an open mind.
Where's Doug?!
🥊🥊
Dope Rap
My favorite is 'strawberries'.
Yoni need to teach me how to do that with my hair.
why iz da best namean
*what about Canada, EH?
big time
but there is a band called who...... so really is the name "why" not obvious?
what?..
"on tour in the US and Europe"
what about Canada, huh!? :(
Liz is gorgeous.
what about Canada, *Eh!? :(
what europe? :(
I demand response to this question. Sorry, eh?
thx to my ex for getting me into why
Send your exs man sexy sms cause you can to thank them properly
why? in salinger land
this sounds like the flowbots
On some songs, yeah definitely
i
more songs off other albums
i think you mean "what about Canada, EH?"
yung pseudonym he really didnt
I would call this more spoken-word than hip-hop
why forevur
why?
2:20
tOO OBVIOUS
I have no idea what that has to do with ejaculation, but thanks!
how did i stumble upon this hipster music?? NO BUENO!!!!
😋
Emily please take that and shove it somewhere. Today is no place for talk like that. Since when is anything about human nature decided or definite. Open up more.
I wish the female vocals were left out. It would have made it absolutely perfect. (Btw, they are my favorite band so don't attack me for my opinion please. Also, I LOVE the female vocals on Alopecia, I'm just not feeling this.)
Sounds messy. Didn't know videos could do that.
eh?
