Grizzly Bear - Knife (A CAPPELLA!?)

- Grizzly Bear is easily one of my favorite bands ever. The Carleton Singing Knights get some indie cred from this awesomely arranged and led piece by mister Tom Fry (who sings on Sufjan and stuff).
For real though, I love this song. This was performed at the Knights's spring concert. More videos are on their way.
And to avoid questions, these are kids from Carleton College in Northfield, MN. Neat-o.

made me cry.. uncontrolable tears a running down my cheeks because of this beautiful song
This is def. one of my favourite videos on this interweb thing.
I am speechless from amazement.
this couldn't be anymore perfect
Absolutely superb!!!!!
Magnificent!
this is lovely
too amazing to be real
This is particularly good because the soloist actually knows how to be a performer. It is not just about hitting pitch perfect notes, but about modulating your voice and emoting. If you watch other a capella performances like this (I'm thinking the choir-cover of Bon Iver's For Emma) the soloists often sound like elevator versions of the real songs.
Fantastic work.
Wow they did such a good job with this song! great job guys:)
very nice.
Very nice, guys!
I'd like to find the guy singing lead in this song. He's got a great voice. Is there anything else with him in it?
amazing guys. I would love to have been involved in this group.
@annalovesmath my thoughts exactly
wow. that was really fantastic! :D
:D love it!
guys, calm down. you both sound dumb. you're fighting via youtube comments.
Good composition, but that lead singer's voice leaves a lot to be desired.
you guys should sing on a neck on a spit. it might be hard considering the tempo changes and other weird things, but i have faith that you talented fellers can pull it off and pull it off splendidly. please blow me away :)
For a moment, I figured this was Carleton University out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
But nooooooooooooooooo.... ;)
these guys are incredible!
I have fallen in love with you guys... but one thing baffles me. Why in gods name haven't you done "for the longest time" by billy joel? how awesome would that be? ... very...
very good job. lacks the desperate sound of the real song (until the kniiiiife chorus, good job on that), but that happens with almost all a capella. solid performance.
What is with all these choir groups doing acapella versions of like the raddest songs ever! Awesome idea. The Fleet Foxes 'Ragged Wood' one is fucking sweet as well.
holy crap you guys have good taste. Beirut, Grizzly Bear, Daft Punk, Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens, MGMT, lol Flight of the Conchords! you guys are great, keep it up.
i want to shake the hand of whoever the indie kid is that chooses the repertoire. i keep trying and trying to make my group do some sufjan/wilco/something but they say nooo
I think two weeks or While you wait for the others would work well for this. Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, and Fleet foxes have harmonies that this fits.
OH, so they are from Carleton College? I thought the "Carlton" part of their name was from Fresh Prince of Bel Air's Carlton played by Alfonso Ribeiro.
Tell 'em yourself! I have my own Birmingham agenda planned. And my way they get to come to Eng-urrr-land.
Annyway...awesome video ^_^
interrobangs need to be the official punctuation of the knights
Really fucking well executed.
If I was wearing a hat, or owned one for that matter, it would be way the fuck off for you.
Rock on.
Not great. The guy singing the lyrics was breaking the notes too much. It should be soft and mellow. Singing is not for sailors.
shit. my heart is melting :( you guys make me want to tear up
well to all those people thinking the singer was bad.. well i thought he fit perfect but i guess thats just me
i keep forgetting to post how awesome this is, but here it goes. this is fucking awesome. utterly righteous.
Goodness this is the most accurate reproduction of Knife I've ever heard (and seen?). Very nicely done
Id rather hear my choir sing Grizzly Bear songs than Beatles songs.
That's the appeal of the song Knife in general; it could have been a Frankie Lymon tune.
Wow!
I didnt know what to expect when i saw the title but it really is great!
Great job!
Wow. I actually really like this. Love the song too, heard it on late night music TV.
All of your songs are just dandy.
Specially this one.
Do more!
Good choice of bands.
this is so much in the land of win i can't even take it.
huzzah hurray.
whoever filmed that, its great he honored it with a big scream. :-)
@amickrocker
I'd hate to have you smile in agony.
omfg, one of my favourite songs. Thankyou so much. I adore you.
