it's mighty cute how concerned everyone is about their image no matter how much they deny it or how much they belittle others for theirs. no amount of flaming can stop me from listening to these tunes. the levels of dedication he has for his craft is inspiring and fantastic music is the result. you have to scratch at the surface a little to truly appreciate it..."Age of Adz" was really a concept album...that whole unifying theme thing going on...ya know?

Yes. If you can, take a look at the sleeve of the CD and the life work of Royal Robertson that helped inspiring the album. You will find your flying cars and spaceships there. These sounds act as a prelude and link to the rest of Age of Adz.
i think it's really funny how everyone tries so hard not to be hipsters. especially because it matters so little. anyways, this is great, sufjan is great and i enjoy neon colors and dancing so hey, i'm happy. pop music has been lacking heart for years and i am all for putting the heart back into pop music. and "age of adz" in its entirety is a BEAUTIFUL modern (or post modern, maybe?) pop masterpiece in my mind.
I remember being really outraged that he went so far away from his beautiful country music when I purchased the album the week they started selling. But this song was so addicting. Afterwards I just came to the conclusion that Sufjan stevens and his team are always marvelous no matter what genre they do. They just have the gift of gab, the melody from the strange whispers in the breeze, and most of all the good vibes of making something utterly new and making it something very familiar to us. Age of Adz, love you.
You guys arguing must not have went to see his tour. The video was created for the tour, and wasn't so much for individual view, but it was put here nonetheless. It functioned really well at the tour and was an awesome compliment to the song, because there was a ton of dancing like this, and it enhanced the feel of the awkward cool dancing.
Paraphrased Quote from Primavera Sound or Paris or somewhere: "it may not seem like it but I'm doing this stone cold sober, as much as I'd love to do a couple of lines of coke right now" *audience awkwardly laughs in shock* good on him i say!
@koolzies The sharp, diagonal lines and angles are harsh and unforgiving. The colors and vividness are also harsh and unforgiving. The song is called 'Too Much,' and there is definitely a sense of drowning in too much. I think the fact that it feeds you such a negative reaction means that the video is doing its job.
Oh my, I want one of those silver jackets like the one Soof is wearing at the start and several time throughout, it;s so sexy! Like him :) Where can i get one? what are those sorts of jackets called?
@pianowhorethesecond So what is it, you like pop, but not the popular pop, right? You prefer the non-popular cause it's "elite"? Kinda missing the point of pop here, ain't we?
@tarekadambenchouia no, it really doesn't make it pretentious. I'm not trying to be rude or anything. But have you SEEN American Apparel ads? I think that's what bothers me the most about this. I've SEEN UO and AA ads that look EXACTLY like this (in photographic form). There is nothing original in this video. It may be well-composed and well-edited, but there isn't a single thing here that hasn't already been done to DEATH. Which does the music a great injustice, since it IS so original.
@MrRobotClouds With all due respect, I think that comment was awful pretentious. Just because he's wearing plastic rimmed glasses and dancing around in technicolor that makes it hipster? The best part about this video is he explores a new aesthetic and he pulls it off pretty well.

this album, it is said, was supposed to represent a panic attack
Really thankyou for your insight . Music is big huh
I got a panic attack from reading this comment
shit i had panic attack listening to this track while i was on acid, even tho this is one of my most favourite songs of all time when im sober
Other than the fact that this video is prime fodder for a seizure, this music is astoundingly sound at its best.
Watch some of Death Grips' music videos, then you'll know the meaning of seizure inducing.
@@gumbiman3350 nah this vids way more busy than any dg mv i've seen
getting dressed in the morning is tough
From Age of Adz to Casimir Pulaski Day, Sufjan can do it all.
This is my first day listening to any of Sufjan Stevens.. wish I had heard of him before
merely..fervy you still listening to him?
what a song to start on hahaha
You have to listen to EVERYTHING
it's mighty cute how concerned everyone is about their image no matter how much they deny it or how much they belittle others for theirs. no amount of flaming can stop me from listening to these tunes. the levels of dedication he has for his craft is inspiring and fantastic music is the result. you have to scratch at the surface a little to truly appreciate it..."Age of Adz" was really a concept album...that whole unifying theme thing going on...ya know?
It's cute how cute you are 😘
If I was a dif-ferent man,
If I had blood in my-ay-ay-ay,eyes -
I could have read of your heart,
I could have read of your eyes -
But now I'm lonely as that,
I put up a fi-i-i-i-ight -
So pick up your battering ram -
Lo-o-o-o-o-ove, I wanna see it:
[chorus]
There's too much riding on that,
There's too much, too much, too much love.
There's too much riding on that,
There's too much, too much, too much love.
There's too much riding on that,
There's too much, too much, too much love.
There's too much riding on that anyway-eyay-ay
And maybe I talk too fast,
Maybe I talk too-o mu-u-uch -
Give me the sensitive laugh,
Or give me the sensiti-ive to-o-ouch -
Even if I could have kissed,
Even if I couldn't apply,
I'm so sorry I tried lo-o-o-o-o-ove, I wanna see it -
[chorus]
[words in background during this chorus:]
Too much love
Too much lo-o-o-ove
Too much love
Too much lo-o-o-ove
Too much love
Too much lo-o-o-ove
Too much love
Too much love
[background, also:] 'love' faintly
[chorus again, in the same way as above]
[this is background, at x2 Sufjan comes in with 'There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that' x4]
Na, na na, na, na, na, na [x6]
Meanwhile, another singer is singing:
'La-aaia-a-aaia' [x6]
[music interlude]
[there's background singers singing 'La' over and over in descending keys a few beats before singing, and it continues until a few beats before he ends]
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that word ...
[music interlude]
[this is semi-in the background]
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that.
I love that weird noise that sounds like a synthesized speeding car.
What you mean normal eurobeat sounds?
Yes. If you can, take a look at the sleeve of the CD and the life work of Royal Robertson that helped inspiring the album. You will find your flying cars and spaceships there.
These sounds act as a prelude and link to the rest of Age of Adz.
From one of my favorite records of all time.
I can't express my love for this album. There are no words.
a totally wonderful and really freshly sounding song
i think it's really funny how everyone tries so hard not to be hipsters. especially because it matters so little. anyways, this is great, sufjan is great and i enjoy neon colors and dancing so hey, i'm happy. pop music has been lacking heart for years and i am all for putting the heart back into pop music. and "age of adz" in its entirety is a BEAUTIFUL modern (or post modern, maybe?) pop masterpiece in my mind.
one of the best things on youtube
wow!!!! this must have taken lot of time.it´s a real video masterpiece!

Age of Adz, love you.
Tinkeroftime Country......... it's folk
Sufjan Steven's is brilliant, alot of people dont' get what he's doing with the new album, it's his take on popular music and it's damn good stuff.
You guys arguing must not have went to see his tour. The video was created for the tour, and wasn't so much for individual view, but it was put here nonetheless.

i wish he had more songs like the ones from the age of adz
this song is beautifully well written! kinda wish it wasn't such an acid trip... but sufjan's a genius, no denying that!
The first song to give me shivers on my hair , and make me bop my head like I'm in a smosh pit
smosh pit...
Sufjan Stevens speaks from the heart in all of his music.
aaaa it’s so 2010s! Another reason why Age of Adz is my 5th favorite album
one of my favorite all-time videos! thank you
I may be mistaken
Going out on a limb here
It’s a long shot
But I think
There’s too much riding on that
Too much love for this song. Seriously.
Definitely I love this guy!
This is similar to what I visualize when I listen to this song. It's just so quirky, but I LOVE it! Definitely one of my top favorites of his! ^_^
one of his best songs
Nice. Reminds me of Of Montreal.
I was about to comment that while a great song, there was too much going on in the video....but then i got the point of the video...
Incredible live.
Love. It. Love. It. Love. It.
Brilliant. Edgy. Creative. Just wonderful fun.
This is addicting as fuck.
Jeff Mangum is that you!
Uffff what beautiful times!
So true
Paraphrased Quote from Primavera Sound or Paris or somewhere: "it may not seem like it but I'm doing this stone cold sober, as much as I'd love to do a couple of lines of coke right now" *audience awkwardly laughs in shock* good on him i say!
You watch this video for two minutes and it feels like two hours it's phenomenal and psychedelic whoa
he's so crazzzzzzzy! love him!!
Amazing. Everything.
I just saw him in concert perform this song, back on the background of this massive wall they had this video playing. SICK
this video doesn't show up when you do a youtube search for "sufjan stevens too much". odd
I was sent here by Hexachordal too, and whoa. This is amazing.
Video excelents . First prize .
and the fact that Marzuki's in it too just makes it so much better!
beautiful track
this video reminds me of bjork sm i love ittt
Killed the dance floor I love you
Is this death grips
yes
yes
yes
gorgeous
@alphastrk She's the choreographer and one of the back-up dancers on tour.
@koolzies The sharp, diagonal lines and angles are harsh and unforgiving. The colors and vividness are also harsh and unforgiving.

The Adz tour was so visual, why isn't there a DVD?
well this was unexpected, an official sufjan video. bout time
Excellent video
in the 80's, i suppose this is what they expected music to sound like in 2011. and man am i glad that it does!!
WHO IS THE GIRL IN THE VIDEO? I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE.
this video is so 2010 and it's great
I'm going to see him tonight in Brussels! :D
Oh, finally. A Sufjan video.Seems pretty homemade to me - but that makes it even better
Whoa, that was pretty intense. I think it was a clever play on words by calling it Too Much.
@becdawg Its actually Sufjan's brother. They look so similar though hey.
Holy shit, I didn't realize that Mumkey Jones did music videos.
best vid ever
excelente
Times were good when this came out
True
times where good when I wrote this comment
what a workout!!!! need 2 know the moves !!!!
Yes Andrew. I've never known music could be like this.
Apparently the girl in this video is the sister to the guitarists in The National.
this is so strange. but aren't things better that way?
Oh my, I want one of those silver jackets like the one Soof is wearing at the start and several time throughout, it;s so sexy! Like him :)
Where can i get one? what are those sorts of jackets called?
GODZUKI
It's tooooo much!!!!
this video was hard to find... maybe if you put Sufjan's name in the title more people would find it.
Sufjan always has some cool T-shirt .
sufjan is the best
Como hacen esto? en q programa.. necesito hacer Uno t.t
I like how some parts are quite goofy!
thanks dad
i just had a slight out of body experience seeing your profile picture, i think about that exact image like every day. i’m shook
@poddylamb really? are you sure? cause i just looked his brother up on google images and he's..well he's bald.
this vid is aces
like the new haircut too
Sufjan is looking good in this video. Or is that just me? haha.
Fucking party legends
amazing
does this remind anyone else of the album kid a?
Very cool.
@dayglowjoe It's called a jacket, you can find one at a jacket store.
Was that Marzuki?
i dont watch this anywhere near as much as i should......
No more riding on that
Soof's got some hella dance moves.
@pianowhorethesecond So what is it, you like pop, but not the popular pop, right? You prefer the non-popular cause it's "elite"? Kinda missing the point of pop here, ain't we?
@tarekadambenchouia no, it really doesn't make it pretentious. I'm not trying to be rude or anything. But have you SEEN American Apparel ads? I think that's what bothers me the most about this. I've SEEN UO and AA ads that look EXACTLY like this (in photographic form). There is nothing original in this video. It may be well-composed and well-edited, but there isn't a single thing here that hasn't already been done to DEATH. Which does the music a great injustice, since it IS so original.
@suburbantimptoms93 ...with the Looooord.
@MrRobotClouds
With all due respect, I think that comment was awful pretentious. Just because he's wearing plastic rimmed glasses and dancing around in technicolor that makes it hipster? The best part about this video is he explores a new aesthetic and he pulls it off pretty well.
una locura, vieja
the song title is accurate for the mv :P
@PosieDada
haha good oneeeee
@alphastrk Might be Jessica Dessner
this is what the apocalypse looks like
Agreed
(also unexpected, but in the not good way: the lack of majesty snowbird or jupiter bad june on this album or the delighted EP)
