    Fantastic, great track, I love it! This more than hints of the Bee Gees, but Broken Bells have brought disco up to date for the modern generation. Hopefully it will find a new audience who aren't old enough to remember the 70's disco sound first time around. So looking forward to hearing the rest of this album.

    This album, in it's entirety is a fabulously relaxing masterpiece! The sound quality and clarity is amazing, which is a prerequisite of mine. The instrumentals and voices play so well together. Absolutely beautiful!
    Thanks for a gift of "chill" after a long day.

    You have to give this song a chance, the first couple of times i heard it i wasn't impressed, but once the chorus got stuck in my head i couldn't stop listening to it.

    • @sdw4527
      @sdw4527 10 лет назад +2

      Felt the same way. Didn't like it at all on first listen. After a couple of listens, I really like it. Not my favorite on the album, but still a very good song.

    Bee Gees meets The Cure's fascination street meets Love and Rockets. Nothing wrong with those sounds all together.

    Outstanding guys, Just heard you on WFUV today for the first time and instantly fell in love. This song has a distinct touch of the Bee Gee's and the Cure. Absolutely fantastic falsetto. Quite sexy in fact. Thumbs up from a fellow singer and musician.

  • @drakebellfreak94
    @drakebellfreak94 10 лет назад +2

    There are just so many bands today that take us on a futuristic step back in time.. Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Temples seem like The Beatles, and now, Broken Bells remind us of the Bee Gee's! This is such a delight.

    First time I heard this on Sirius XMU a few weeks back, host Jenny Elescu as the listener to see if they felt the same the Bee Gee's vibe in this song that she did. She was bang on.

  • @SonOfLancereto68
    @SonOfLancereto68 10 лет назад +5

    Wow!! This song has a little bit of everything!! It has an intro like Sign Your Name by Kristin Mainhart, a back beat similar to Whodini"s Friends (Yes, I'm old), vocals reminiscent of Glenn Shorrock of The Little River Band or Portugal. The Man and even a sampling of Jennifer Lopez's Love Don't Cost a Thing (or Brandi and Monica's The Boy is Mine) and, oh yes, a little bit of Nights On Broadway by The Bee Gees, of course. Great Song!!!

    After listening to "Reflektor" for two and a half straight weeks, it was going to take something special to break the routine. I should have guessed it would be Broken Bells.

      I keep seeing similar comments about Broken Bells being 'back'. Where were they? I never heard of them until this song. What else did they do from back when? Some good work on this album and love this song!

    @markmckinniss7033 10 лет назад +11

    I thought The Broken Bells were a short-lived experiment that we wouldn't hear from again. This is a pretty cool song; the chorus is (no doubt intentionally) reminiscent of the Bee Gees better work. This could be a hit with some airplay.

    And before we even go there, yes, I'm aware that they sound even more like "insert-band-here"... Good for you, you figured it out. Except that wasn't even the point. I'm only singling-out the Bee Gees because other people seem to hear that. (And honestly, if you don't hear a little bit of them in the chorus, I'd be very surprised... )
