It’s been quite a few years since I saw them live. The last time was at a very small venue. It was a basement bar under a restaurant in St. Louis. That might it snowed several inches and the sold out show only had about 30 people show up. My wife and I were a part of something great that night. Despite the low turn out they played for hours and sat around with us at tables and played and included us all. It was a night I will never forget.
I last saw them at their anniversary show in Dallas like 5 years ago, SUCH a freaking blast. Happiest vibes on the planet were in that room. And most of us were blazed lmao.
When I first saw these guys it was on scrubs, and I thought it was a joke band, I was cracking up. Then I googled them and found out that this was actually a group.
Empty headed happiness. Mindless. Nothing of any real substance. They reformed.And called themselves The "Heaven's Gate" and all met behind comet Hale-Bopp.
First time i saw them live was at the Queen Margaret Union in Glasgow (2003). It was like a epiphany, the whole gig was mindblowing, from them walking into the hall hand in hand through the crowd right through to the end, it felt like the most beautiful sermon. It was such a feel good gig and definitely ranks high on my list of favourite gigs. The second time i saw them was at the Connect Festival in Inveraray (2007), a very different ambience to the first gig, but equally as incredible. They really do put on a fantastic show.
It's OK. Just remember the joy and the spring it put in your step. Put this on your sound system. Pick up your partner/child. Say nothing. And just dance! Like crazy. Laugh out loud. Or cry. With joy.
This song reminds me of living in Halifax, Canada next to the water. I was going out with a girl I had a crush on. Life was good at the time. Happy, fun, youth... Having money. Drinking tea. Little lights everywhere. Watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Now that girl is married and getting old fast. Those times are a distant memory now.
For years I thought this song was called Mr. Brightside, then I realized it wasn't and spent several more years trying to remember what this was called. ...But then!!! I was looking up videos of Brad Mehldau and came across him and Elliott Smith (one of my favs) on The Jon Brion Show....and they played a song I hadn't heard before called Trouble ...so of course I went to my add the song to my favorites and realized it was on an album featuring Elliott and written by The Polyphonic Spree and immediately I recognized the name and knew I could find the song I was looking for! Popped back over to RUclips and here it is! Thanks ❤❤
check out canon in d by pachelbel, if you like this you'll love that. also try starships by nicki minaj, basketcase by greenday, memories by maroon 5, dont look back in anger by oasis, and graduation by vitamin c.
Just discovered Polyphonic Spree and its like the first time I heard B-52's or Nirvana - just cannot get enough of them. So original and such a big sound I just love it. Wierd too - I like that.
parents had a eternal sunshine soundtrack cd which this was on and would listen to it all the time during roadtrips. For the longest time actually thought this was by ELO, just glad to have rediscovered it.
This tune makes me think of the people i love that are no longer with us. Ma, friends, you know who you are... Miss you all, that i just found are that aren't with us any longer
Back in 1993 when I was hanging out with Tim Delaughter at Trees in Dallas, Tx watching a band called Maggie's Dream, I would've never thought that everything this guy would touch would turn to gold. I mean I just thought he was some cool, goofy dude. Fast forward 3 yrs I haven't seen him then there's a line stretching forever to see his band Tripping Daisy.
+Shotgun Mongol Nope.Non-religious. Has Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Atheists... The robes were just to unify them, since there were so damned many. They also wore matching black uniforms at times.
They do! XD They say the uniform is for practical reasons and I believe them, but this is exactly what I thought when I played their game: amanita-design.net/games/the-quest-for-the-rest.html

That's awesome!!! pretty cool it was sold out already so they still got a little money to put in their pocket.🤘🤪👍
That's such an amazing experience.
@@moon_mint Been wondering this for 20 years. Are they a cult? lol
I love this band playing in Scrubs :) It was the one of the best episodes!
When I first saw these guys it was on scrubs, and I thought it was a joke band, I was cracking up. Then I googled them and found out that this was actually a group.
their performances are more like a celebration of life than a song i love it!
I cry every time I hear this. It releases such joy in me. I’ll sign up for their cult any day 🙏🏽
This is MY feel good song. No matter what happens in life when I listen to this.. it all does not matter.
OMG, Soul Sister. I just had the exact same thought. LET ME IN THIS CULT.
The happiest song in the world, how could anyone not like this?
Yuppers! Just listen and be happy. Musical drugs will make a fine addition to anyone's party. Love.....
We are just gettin all the callers today arent we

@@gebass6479 - that's just fuckin stupid.
You can't beat The Polyphonic Spree's energy. What I like best about watching them perform is just seeing how much fun they're having.
I haven't heard of redhot fire I'm gonna check it out.
My mom is in this band

Really? Which one is she? Most of the women in this band are hot.
Jessica jordan
She's a hotty! I'm not sure I believe you though.
I'm here cause I saw them live and it was one of the most uplifting brilliant moment I've ever had.
I always wanted Polyphonic Spree to team up and tour with Flaming Lips. That would be the most epic show ❤
I'm one of the grumpiest sods you will ever meet, but this song never fails to make me happy and put a big smile on my face :)
Likewise lad. Its good init.
This is like the most wonderful, happiest song in life. I am just hugging myself as I listen to it. This song embodies the essence of joy!
Lol.... we have extremely similar tastes in music.
You've commented on all the songs I regularly listen to on Facebook....lol
What about during the Trump era?

Fell in love with this song when I saw it on a rerun of "Scrubs". Killer song!
I wish I could go back to the days of watching this video over and over with my parents when I was toddler.

>2008
>quality sounds like 1908
2003*
Trevin Harris Yeah 2003 is more like it. I saw them live around that time.
Released in 2003 so it's entirely possible that this was recorded on vhs
@@hanlons_razor Probably not. RUclips downgrades the quality of old videos as time goes by, both sound and video. It's fucking sad imo

This is better
If you are here from Scrubs, you have a great taste in music and tv shows
100% fact
you caught me 😂
loved Scrubs. miss those days
Dude i literally just finished that episode!
@@wysiwygbebe i watched the episode in a dvd binge in January. I remember I watched the episode years ago when I was a teenager
Not sure about the same robes but seeing everyone happy and rocking the shit out of their instruments makes me unable to dislike this.
Great call. They look like they are really enjoying what they are doing, don't they?
i am so glad that i found this beautiful song. I listen to it everyday because it makes me feel strong and self-confident. The song calms me down :)
Also try "In a Daydream" by Freddy Jones Band.
check out canon in d by pachelbel, if you like this you'll love that. also try starships by nicki minaj, basketcase by greenday, memories by maroon 5, dont look back in anger by oasis, and graduation by vitamin c.

One of the greatest songs of inspiration and joy! I play for my daughters when the time suits 😌
I saw them at Glasto one year maybe 2004 I think. They were amazing.
Full on good vibes.
Luv and Peace.
It's like the Flaming Lips, after they found Jesus.

+Awarience Tell her the guy who wrote the lyrics said hi.
tonecot89 Thank you! I also thought of the Flaming Lips. Love it, btw.
lol this band has singer and his wife in it call it a family affair
lots of people say that, weird
Follow the day/And reach for the sun
Happiest. Song. Ever.
Pure joy, condensed and distilled into musical expression. The world was a little brighter because of the PS ❤
I just love the purity and positivity and love.
May I just state for the record that it is physically impossible to be unhappy listening to this song!!!
I'm here because of scrubs
Same
I'm here because of Girl Boss.. but I remember this on Scrubs; I'll return someday when I catch that episode, this I promise..
Same here however it was 14 year ago.
Patrick Bowen Going through a Scrubs marathon and loving it!
Me too
There's no way you can watch this without cracking a smile. I hope these guys are still around.
They're still around even now!
Saw this on Las Vegas YEARS ago. Watching it on a rerun again on Hulu-great song. 😃
2019 and still love this song
2023 and I just came across it
I love listening to this song in the morning before I go to my hell hole 8-5 job...
one of the greatest musical moments in tv-history
This song is what pure happiness sound like.
Who else is here because they heard this song when they were little and they just wanted to hear it again?
old comment, but ME! I haven't heard this since i was 10 or 11.
tumble0weed You must be barely in high school.
Aww! I hadn't thought of it as a childhood song, but it makes such a good one!
parents had a eternal sunshine soundtrack cd which this was on and would listen to it all the time during roadtrips. For the longest time actually thought this was by ELO, just glad to have rediscovered it.
Heard this song when I was like 12...now, 29 almost 30, I still remember it
what a magnificent energy pocket on Earth! We need the Polyphonic Spree, especially our children. Thank You.
This tune makes me think of the people i love that are no longer with us.
Ma, friends, you know who you are...
Miss you all, that i just found are that aren't with us any longer
Scrubs always..ALWAYS had the best music to fit the mood and this is definitely uplifting. Than you!
Is there really no better quality version of this!?
Damnit it gets me every time
Such a beautiful track, from a beautiful band, on a beautiful album...
The most peaceful and benevolent music that a group of white people wearing white cloaks could possibly make.
I'm white, for posterity's sake.
My mom is in this bandbrigadierburnsauce
+Awarience² then your Mum rocks!
ha ha
come on people... that's a fantastic joke.
Thumbs up if you're just here to watch the music video and listen to something wonderful and don't need nothing to promote it.
This song is so positive !
I love it !
I stop being sad with this :)
Thx !
I just love the happy optimistic sound of this song and can't think of another song this happy
it was indeed. My Overkill was hilarious as well
Where’s my Scrubs fans at?
Grade die Folge gesehen i Love IT
Minus the intro and outro, this song is basically a 197 seconds crescendo.
It's the guys energy that gets me
gotta be the happiset song ever
I imagine that this is what Dewey Cox would've written in the part where he went all Brian Wilson
This song always fills me with joy.
Tantos años sin escuchar esta maravilla. Solo por eso, hoy es un día especial
Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind brought me here
me too!
Stay safe everyone, i love you and stay safe. Until next time, lets survive corona virus!!
Thanks, hope you are well brother.
That won't be hard to do
Just follow the day and reach for the 🌞
i always felt like this song doesn't belong in this plain of existence its like something they play in the waiting room for heaven

Las Vegas (2003-2008) Brought me here
Man, Polyphonic Spree are so great. They're definitely an influence on the Invisible Clock factory and it totally shows!
Kinda like a happy, upbeat Silver Mt.Zion...
A mix between Silver Mt. Zion and Flaming Lips.

Las Vegas (TV) made me love this!
Actually saw them perform this on an episode of 'Las Vegas'. Normally not my cup of tea, but a good song.
mike same here! Everyone heard this from Scrubs apparently, but I heard it from Las Vegas. Such a great show.
Same here!

A great song...but they at least have all the appearances of a hippie cult.
yeah because a group of happy people is automatically a "cult". Damn youre a cynical ass

they've r hippes singer has a old band that was a hippes band

aw man. This band makes me think of my senior year. I had tickets to go see them but the concert was cancelled. They haven't been back near me since :(
