2006-2009 was an amazing few years for indie music. That's when I discovered these guys and so many other amazing bands like Oxford Collapse, the young leaves, Santigold, etc
The live versions of this song are so much better. The tempo is faster. And you can hear the vocals better. The studio version doesn't really do the song justice.
I used to love these guys back in the day. Sad that I never got to see them live. There seemed to be so many great bands around at that time, I really struggle to find many new bands to listen to these days…
I think they actually messed up with the samples in the beginning, but they rebounded so smoothly that no one would even notice unless they've heard tons of live performances of this song like I have.
This era in music will *hopefully* be studied by later generations

@antifaneoliberal Beirut
Mgmt band of horses too
Really would love to see them back together and making new music
The guitar is so unbelievably good in the live version.
i love how none of them outshines the other. they are all so creative. they fit eachother's sound like a glove and also stand out
Kinda like watching Primus perform.
Agree totally.
This song,
This band,
Blows my mind.
This was like re discovering an amazing song... the live version is so different and yet equally beautiful...
I love this track since 2009 or 2010 but have never heard this version

Yeasayer, I miss u😢

This song absolutely slaps live. Saw them in '08 on a tiny college campus in the middle of some cornfields in rural Indiana.
Remember being blown away by this promo. Saw them live in Doornroosje Nijmegen shortly after. Always loved the band. Thanks Yeasayer
You guys are so good, we need more this to make it through quarantine!
this song makes me feel good.
good wake up song right here. early morning.
Killers bass lines!!
This live version is far better than the studio version.
the presenter is a true professional. i would have been rocking out all over the studio to this,
best new year song ever
Anand is one funky guitarist.
utterly addicted to this. seeing them live in london next month!
Those guys are truly treasure
I can't help but picture Randy Marsh singing Chris's parts in this performance. Miss these guys.
This song is killing time !
favorite band since 2008!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!1!1!
Love this song so damned much!
FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS I WAS OFF A SUPERMAN IN CHAZ'S BASEMENT. UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

I just fainted it's so good.
This music is made with so much love, you can hear it in every note they play.
(Does anyone know what guitar he uses?)
This is phenomenal
Im such a fucking Stan for yeasay
these guys are so cool, a bit sad that i missed them in australia last year
2080 is in reference to their record deal. profits split 20/80.
They aint called yeasayers for nothing.
they play 60Km from my house tonight and I am so broke I cannot afford to see them....
the peak of indie music...
still slaps
amazing! everything sounds so fucking awesome.
beeeeautyy
unbelievable eyeroll @2:55
this song is so fucking good
the Holland version is a punch in the face
If you guys look up
Little Jesus-Tráigame tierra
It sounds very similar
thank you for eargazm
6:42 WOW
somebody's heard them fela kuti and tragically hip
Sounds like he's using reverb and delay
Chris looks a lot like Foster The People's Mark Foster.
lol...he's feeelin the music
FUNK ME!
There is a random emo kid staring at them through the window...
...and his life was never the same
He stopped being emo and since that day he became a professional dancer
@XguitarrockerX Rickenbecker.
This video is from before they knew how to write music.
Its sounds terrible. I love the song but had to lower my volume listening to this
It sounds more 60s. I like it!
1:27 I'm drinking a beer and dancing as well!
