Every time I listen to this song (probably around 20 times so far) it strikes me again how inventive, original, and funky these dudes (and dudettes?) are. Great lyrics and great music. Thanks, Vampire Weekend!
"its not that serious" "and all of a sudden this ghost in the shelly jungle tropicana and also giant jungle creature is chasing you and you have to run fast" melody starts lovely and warm and energetic yeeeeeehaaae
Hi there! I know that you probably won’t see or read this but I wanted to say vampire weekend’s father of the bride album is my entire childhood and it makes me cry almost every time I hear pretty much any of the songs from this album, I love the style of music and it heavily influenced my music taste. Thank you for making this album.
I think I take myself too serious It's not that serious Alone in someone's bedroom She firmly took my hand The isolation ended I began to understand In the ping-pong match of constant desire I was never gonna get ahead 'Cause I was looking in the mirror Now we've got that sympathy What I'm to you You are to me Let's go Judeo-Christianity I'd never heard the words Enemies for centuries Until there was a third In the ping-pong match of constant desire I was never gonna get ahead 'Cause I was looking in the mirror Now we've got that sympathy What I'm to you You are to me Let's go Diego García Surrounded by the waves Lonely in the ocean But in every single way It was full of love In the warmth fed a feeling Now we've got that sympathy What I'm to you You are to me Let's go I didn't have your sympathy But I knew where to start Explaining to you patiently That the one who broke my heart Would have broken yours And thrown the pieces in the river Now we've got that sympathy What I'm to you You are to me Let's go Desperate for an enemy But too afraid to kill Use the pain of someone else And triumph for their will And spill the blood Of the arrogant mosquitoes Now we've got that sympathy What I'm to you You are to me Let's go
This is absolutely outstanding! It's 21st Century Rockabilly meets 10cc. I rarely compare any band to 10cc because I hold them in such high regard, but this is bold enough to be catchy and weird. That infectious Rockabilly groove with the descending slap bass is audaciously halted to interject that little acoustic bit. It's startling. But then they toss you another piece of candy by returning the groove. I love the sampled female voice throughout. What a great song!
Not gonna lie this one slaps the hardest for me
Clearly the best on the album
Along harmony hall
It slaps so hard it might even bang.
Cassie Bloomingdale same
sameee
This song is an instant classic
Oscar M the whole album’s an instant classic
Vampire weekend is a classic
As a loose cover of "Long Train Running" - yes. That was a brilliant song.
Um, born yesterday? ruclips.net/video/HP_NE4XZGAc/видео.html
@@sasoritaiga duhhh these two songs sound similar that mean everyone else dum and i smard, haha vamper weaken bad
im heard these guys live and the violinist made this song like 100000 times better
i missed that feeling of loving an entire album
This is going to be featured in an apple commercial this year.
I could totally see that
Watching Apple Keynote right now. I knew i was right back then xD
Wtf dude !!! How lol
woAH
Bro u work for apple??
The whole song is great, but I have to say, the little “RNGGGGG DING DING DING DING DING” has to be my favorite part. It’s so random yet well placed.
ah yes, the rngggg ding ding ding ding ding
BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM!
Andrey Soares yeupppp!
factss
That album is a masterpiece just like the 3 before
That sweet ass bass line 👌🏼
Keep my words,
this song will be on the FIFA 19 soundtrack.
lmao solid prediction. Wait you mean Fifa 20
Sounds like a Kill Bill soundtrack! And thats a compliment.
Elin Söderström True! My friend and I were just talking about that
That’s what I hear
my ears have been enlightened
"In the ping-pong match of constant desire"
I have never sung a lyric so loud.
Definitely the most catchy song about US & Middle eastern relations
"Sympathy" debuted at #25 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
So much for the now commercially bland old chart. Mind you someone will start griping...
Heyyyyy, Alternative 40 chart! Yo you gonna return that body bag you borrowed
@@WiloPolis03 Noooooo.
@@NewAlternative40Chart Holy crap, did not expect to get a reply from the New Alternative 40 Chart. Oh gosh oh heck it's gained sentience
Love the transition from a more melancholic llullaby-like song as "My Mistake" to such a cheering track like this one.
This one SLAPS live, real talk
honest!!!! with the red lights and everything
Holy smokes what a masterpiece, including the whole album.
Every time I listen to this song (probably around 20 times so far) it strikes me again how inventive, original, and funky these dudes (and dudettes?) are. Great lyrics and great music. Thanks, Vampire Weekend!
"its not that serious"
"and all of a sudden this ghost in the shelly jungle tropicana and also giant jungle creature is chasing you and you have to run fast" melody starts
lovely and warm and energetic yeeeeeehaaae
I'm seriously incapable of listening to this song just once lol, I have to play it at least 3 times in a row ! So good
Easily the best song on the album. Such a fantastic hook, great lyrics - the total package.
i could imagine me running out of school, back to my house, packing all my shit, and running off while this song is playing.
was just broken up with this morning and this is the only song thats making me feel okayish
we all get hype to the "Now we've got that sympathy, what I'm to you, you are to me, LETS GO" right
Please come to Mexico this year!!!
Iván Gómez Hernández corona capital 2019
This has to be the best song of all times, I also love the little AHHH uggg Ahhhh AHHH
_In the ping-pong match of constant desire, I was never gonna get ahead_ *'cause I was looking in the mirror*
One of VW's heaviest songs. I love it.
This song was an instant favourite

The Easter egg at 1:33:52 in 120min of harmony hall guitars took me here
Oh my god you're right
this song SLAPS!!!
Man, what a f**kin' banger!
And they’re back!!!
I need to start listening to the entirety of albums lol
One of those songs you know you'll love within the first 10 seconds.
I've come to the conclusion that this song is awesome.
One of their best for sure
no words for how much i love this song,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Es perfecta, la mejor canción del álbum!
I think I take myself too serious
It's not that serious
Alone in someone's bedroom
She firmly took my hand
The isolation ended
I began to understand
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cause I was looking in the mirror
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Judeo-Christianity
I'd never heard the words
Enemies for centuries
Until there was a third
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cause I was looking in the mirror
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Diego García
Surrounded by the waves
Lonely in the ocean
But in every single way
It was full of love
In the warmth fed a feeling
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
I didn't have your sympathy
But I knew where to start
Explaining to you patiently
That the one who broke my heart
Would have broken yours
And thrown the pieces in the river
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Desperate for an enemy
But too afraid to kill
Use the pain of someone else
And triumph for their will
And spill the blood
Of the arrogant mosquitoes
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Thanks!!!
Yo look at this guy talking about events that happened to him all by himself Xd
Free palestine from the oppressors !!
"in every single way" should be "in every other way" i think
Hipster Matador Music
best comment for this song :D
Why IS THIS MASTERPIECES SO UNDERRATED, UNDERPLAYED, UNDERLISTENED, UNDERWATCHED, UNDERLOVED?
The best track
100% Vampire Weekend
This is a gosh dang masterpiece.
So disappointed they didn't use this song in Umbrella Academy S2. It's peak UA vibes.
FUCKING MASTERPIECE. Late to the party, glad to have made it. 🎉
This is Best
ughh ezra!! his mind!!!
haven't listened to vw in like 1.5 yrs but heard this again in a honda commercial and dang it goes hard...
Ezra proving he can create a masterpiece to any melody/genre. I love the beat switch at the end, he could have been a prolific DJ lol
Best song on the album hands down
Judeo Christianity
I’d never heard the word
Enemies for centuries
Until there was a third
Woke Ezra at it again
The third means "Islam" if I guess so
@@epico1657 Yep. He's referring to the three abrahamic religions and Islam is the youngest out of those so
Your lame hellenism was also around and zorastrianism
Free palestine from the oppression !!
This is a vibe. A mood.
This is absolutely outstanding! It's 21st Century Rockabilly meets 10cc. I rarely compare any band to 10cc because I hold them in such high regard, but this is bold enough to be catchy and weird. That infectious Rockabilly groove with the descending slap bass is audaciously halted to interject that little acoustic bit. It's startling. But then they toss you another piece of candy by returning the groove. I love the sampled female voice throughout. What a great song!
Enserio es Vampire Weekend 😳😳 está hermosa está canción. ♥️
this is good song
1:24 when the Metro doors try to close on your backpack
There's not a single mediocre song on FOTB but this stands out to me. It's the greatest among the great!
Inject this song into my veins
This slaps
this watch tells time
Suena en Radio Doble 9
Lima Peru!
Finally, just to reiterate. This. Watch. Tells. Time. Among other things....
okay, this is epic
My brain: "What a good song to present Apple Watch Series 5"
You ruined it
Apple lowkey has good taste
_This song ac slaps_
This new Paul Simon music is quiet good
I FINALLY FOUND IT
Take a smack of deems to the face right before this song. I promise you will be in heaven. Best thing that has happened to me in a long time.
Is that...double bass in a Vampire Weekend song?
creatine powder A real shocker, right?
The instrumentals in this lp are fantastic huh
This song makes me think of a weird version of Long train running
(Love it btw)
Every beat switch just makes me NUT!
im making a nut river I swear
WOOOW!! Me encantan!! 👏
Nice
my boys Ezra and Steve didn't had to go hard as they did in this song damn
Looking young Diana
Good stuff.
R1s Indie Shows been playing this one for months
Changing my name to Diego Garcia ASAP
Prepare to be confused for an island.
@@nedisahonkey Or the lead singer from the band Elefant.
Wonder if the line is a reference to the conspiracy theory about MH370. But yes it is a US military base in the Indian Ocean.
Anyone else hear Kurt Vile - Pretty Pimpin'?
Just the "I was looking in the mirror" line, yeah
@@MCSMeister obviously, but also the opening line and the overall vibe to me
I thought the same thing. Another great one.
Ah! Thanks! I was searching for this.. Couldn't figure it out by myself
Ohhh yessss. That's why I felt like I had heard it before.
Love VW!
oh boy
my crush like this song so i'm listening to this hahaha
"Cat Empire - Brighter Than Gold" is this song's cousin down under. #Fightme #YouWont
Come better after 6 years
Excellent
Me encanta mucho
Here before 1,000 views! Can't believe it's finally out!
Que rola tan chingona ! Love u VW ♥️
Ceniza en la boca me trajo hasta aquí
that's the spoken word from the 120 minute harmony hall video!
reminds me of 'Desire' by U2
...oh, my god, yes, I can hear that.
This song kicks ass. I can only imagine how amazing it'll be live.
Rumba! 💃💃💃💃💃💃
If only he said Diego Gonzalez instead of Diego Garcia.
Diego Gonzalez lol...
Lol so close
This...
Watch...
