    Any dance that uses the "It's a Jolly Day with Mary" kick walk is a winner

    I can’t put into words the way this video makes me feel. I just love it. I keep finding myself coming back to it.

      It's called good weed! This is what everything looks like when you smoke good strains, it leaves you a little dumbfounded and you can feel the music...
      The White Stripes 7 Nation Army used to do it to me too.

    I can't believe this has less than 200k views. That's criminal. The video alone should have 5 million views.

    Been listening to this song constantly. Heard it on my college radio station (wutk 90.3). The song, to me, has this very serious feeling, so I love the overly corny dancing because it's ironic. I also love the shots of the woman dancer staring off into the distance, giving it that serious, slightly weird nod. I've never listened to Wye Oak before so I don't have that feeling of sadness at the new sound. I'm digging it.

    can't believe this is 10 years old, I used to play this over and over and over before they made the videos so lit, if you hear any new music like this comment on this post, their newer stuff that I've heard doesn't sound like the same band, they were in the zone when they made this...Amazing Jam, album was super super good

    At first I was a little let down by the new sound but as the song progressed i.e. when the vocals came in, I fell in love.

  • @sm44july
    @sm44july 8 месяцев назад

    Always come back to this song when I'm in a creative block. The visual, the freeness, the music, it's all so carefree which I love. Sounds like a retro 80s carnival on acid, but then you realize it's just a commercial on TV

  • @ctallen7327

    I've thought a lot about it and this is the greatest music video I have ever seen.
    Beautiful choreography, profoundly meaningful story, the percussion is so good, the vocals & lyrics are mellifluous and intriguing. The synth is rich and euphonious, the bass is delicious, everytime I show this to someone they love it. A total work of genius. Sincere thanks to everyone involved.

    The imagery & tone of the lyrics are both akin to the influences of the major arcana tarot card, 'The Tower.' Not sure whether that's intentional; cool coincidence, if not, but poetic brilliance, otherwise.

    This song is like some sativa at the right time and place; when peoples movements synch up with the beat the music, no care in the world, and the weather is perfect!
    I never have that happen inside buildings, unless I'm recording music and zone out as I listen for errors in my playing.

    @tvurk 10 лет назад +5

    meh.. i don't like the new album.. the lyrics are cool but I don't feel anything special while listening to it. And trust me, I was hoping it would. Maybe it's because it's all a bit too electronic and overproduced for my taste. Oh well, can't please everybody I guess.
    In the next album I'm hoping for a more indie and dreamlike sound like Beach House. I think their lyrics and her voice are perfect for that.

    • @ughaghost
