This is such a complicated song and the ways that they change it (with more prevalent harmonies and with alternative instrumental parts) is unbelievably professional

every time people are like, "old music is so much better"...I think of this. This shit is classic and if anyone is smart this music will last a very long time.

@michaelpukish748 5 ай бұрын

The thing is, GB is so awesome because they are so unique and truly original. That's also what's great about "old music". There's are actually many artists that are doing original things with original approaches, but the current format of commercial radio won't let the good stuff through. The reason you and I can rejoice in knowing GB, was the result of a proactive fan base and I guess a small miracle. The point, "old music" is still great. So are all the innovative new artists we'll never hear of.

This band is one of the most unique of our generation. This is a band we will be remembered for right here. Along with Arcade Fire. First two bands, imo, that I really think have done something completely different and have allowed rock music to stay fresh and not recycled.

well you have to be well known to be remembered unfortunately. I guess some bands from this era could pull a velvet underground and be more famous later on.

Just recently went through this band's entire discography, and I loved every song. This band is awesome but I wanted to see how well they could translate their sound live...and holy shit this gave me goosebumps. This is even better than the studio version, this made my day. No actually, this made my week.

People discussing if the violinist messed up after all this time... there are these things called triplets and offbeats lmao... I play violin myself and that performance was so on point I can't even...Also the violins are not actually the ones who end the song, it's the cello who still plays the last beat and I hadn't noticed! After 7 years of watching this! I love Grizzly Bear soooo muuuuch 💙💙💙

drviz they are non musical dumbasses this was perfection!!😑

@harpoolmusic 9 жыл бұрын

I honestly thought the violin picking at the end was perfect! Just because the violin ended on the off beat, before the bass and drums played the final note, doesn't mean he messed up or ruined it. It was intended to be that way, and it just means this band is far beyond following the basic rules of song endings and beginnings...one of the many things that makes Grizzly Bear one of the great and true originals of our generation.
