Yeasayer performs "Tightrope" Connect with The Current: TheCurrent.org/ / 893thecurrent / thecurrent / thecurrent Become a member: contribute.publicradio.org/con...
One of those recordings that despite first hearing it 9 or 10 years ago I just have to come back. This version has just something else that really makes it.
Forgetting about this song (name included).. Hearing it in your head all day long. Getting home.. Spending half an hour looking for it. Play. ... Bliss... 😀
This band deserved waaaaay more recognition. I will always be greatful they were the soundtrack to my teen years, I'll always come back to these guys. Love them forever!
My CZcams with this music is all i had with this music here that got me through after my family was destroyed and all i had left was my Grandmother and she was took!!!!...and killed...and i couldn't do nothing because i had no support system left...and all i had was this type of music here to get me through!!...💎💎💎💎 thank you CZcams 😢😥💎
Probably one of the best videos (songs) I've ever seen. These guys have made music interesting and the sad thing is no one will ever know. For my part: They played the best show I've ever seen.
I honestly believe people stopped listening to Yeasayer, not only they're still there but they only improve, always bold and always engaging. Maybe some of us never really got them. To me they're the future of music.
it's fucking awesome how they have a kookaburra's call throughout the song - i love how they do that, it adds just this little bit extra, and makes you go, "that's fucking great". has anyone else noticed it?
I will forever be fucking grateful for being able to hear this song live on there last tour before they split up I love this song and I can’t believe they actually played it. I also love them because they gave me a guest list and I was able to see them because of them I love you yeasayer you’ve been a big part of my life
not trying to say i am anyone more than i am, or ever will be.. but i am obsessed with music.. with great music.. and yeasayer came to me when my little journey found the valley.. i'm up on the mountain now.. what a beautiful view..
Dude that is truly awesome. Ive been listening to it for the past two years and just can't realize how they aren't so much bigger. I wish there were more people like you
they are incredible, I've been listening to this song since yestarday and I simply can't stop lol. it's outstanding ! Can't wait to hear it live at Opener festival in July
Great song, can‘t find thru shazam or soundhound ect Was hard to figure out the artist/songname, but Finally i found it and felt a happiness to hear it in loop today. Great song!!!!
Amazing the energy spent on making sure that everyone is aware of your negative opinion. What do you get out of that, if you don't like it you are just a click away from removing it from the peace that you have in this world. Good luck to you in finding enjoyment in things.
One of the weirdest bands I've ever heard, but man do they put on an awesome live show! This is a pretty good representation of their live sound, but the video doesn't do it justice. They're an experience!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUUUUUUUUUUCK. i think this band might be the reason i'v been listening to music for the last 31 years; to find this band.
So you're wishing that you never did All the embarrassing things you've done And you're wishing you could set it right And you're wishing you could stay the night But then I go again, wishing never solved a problem If you wanna get it big time, go ahead and get it get it big time So I think I can solve all my problems by myself Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind And you think you can solve all your problems by yourself Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more
The world is upside down, people should praise and admire those with enough talent and courage to innovate and create beautiful music, not hate on them.
I saw this band at Bimbo's in San Francisco last week never having heard of them before. All I can say is that they totally killed it. The sound was awesome and the lighting was amazing. This is one of my favorite songs and the recording of this video is probably the best on here as of this post. Also check out the "Ambling Alp" tune. Another great from this soon to be HUGE band...Humble_t
I love how they look completely different in person Anand is tiny and growing his hair back out Ira is massive: tall and sort of muscular with a mohawk
One of those recordings that despite first hearing it 9 or 10 years ago I just have to come back. This version has just something else that really makes it.
Oh man, totally agree. I share your story and feelings. This version does something else for me/to me.
Forgetting about this song (name included).. Hearing it in your head all day long.

Play. ... Bliss... 😀
Haha, so true! Been a Yeasayer fan for years now and I love this version. I just keep on coming back to it.
Saaaameeeee
yeasayer peaked here
This band deserved waaaaay more recognition. I will always be greatful they were the soundtrack to my teen years, I'll always come back to these guys. Love them forever!
they flamed out after their electronic albums didn't do so well
2010 was a golden year in music
2007-2010!
@rjpm92 - 14 years later, still keep coming back. There is something so special about this song and performance, the layers are just amazing.
This song changed/saved my life. Thank you yeasayer
1:30 "so you think you can solve all your problems by yourself" best sounding lyric of the song

+Jon LeClair I am new to them. And now I know.
Get a grip mate this video has nearly 2m views
Saw them at first ave in 2014 or 2015, honestly such amazing musicians, loved it.
What are you on about?
You share the same name as my favorite hockey player of all time
Thank you The Current for keeping this recording up for so long. I come back to hear it every once in a while to remember those times.
I miss their music so much
I honestly believe people stopped listening to Yeasayer, not only they're still there but they only improve, always bold and always engaging. Maybe some of us never really got them. To me they're the future of music.
Diego Oliveira man, they seriously are. I adore them
I understand them
This is one of my favourite live performances. And to think have disbanded is sad, incredibly talented. Odd blood is unreal
The problem is that they make true music. They aren’t like all the mainstream “musicians” that have all the same beats, lyrics, and tunes.
Been listening since I was like 15 and I'm almost 30. What makes you think I'm going to stop now? This is a very underrated song
Miss this yeasayer
it's fucking awesome how they have a kookaburra's call throughout the song - i love how they do that, it adds just this little bit extra, and makes you go, "that's fucking great". has anyone else noticed it?

haha, i saw them them at lollapalooza in 2008 and they were one of the sets i still remember
not trying to say i am anyone more than i am, or ever will be.. but i am obsessed with music.. with great music.. and yeasayer came to me when my little journey found the valley.. i'm up on the mountain now.. what a beautiful view..
Beautiful song, chills every time
I genuinely miss Yeasayer.
Yeah it’s immensely sad that they called time.
I'm beyond being in LOVE with this band one of my absolute faves
Dude that is truly awesome. Ive been listening to it for the past two years and just can't realize how they aren't so much bigger. I wish there were more people like you
Cant wait to see you guys in ATL, Love your music and every ounce of dedication you put into it!
this is my favorite version of this song, this particular recording. I love how he staggers the *uh huh uhs*. Good harmony as well.
best version of this song, love it. the drummer brings something to this song shame he isn't still with them
Definitely an incredible set at PItchfork.. I saw them a few months ago and they just keep getting better and better since.
they are incredible, I've been listening to this song since yestarday and I simply can't stop lol. it's outstanding ! Can't wait to hear it live at Opener festival in July
I could listen to this ALL DAY!
Great song, can‘t find thru shazam or soundhound ect
Was hard to figure out the artist/songname, but Finally i found it and felt a happiness to hear it in loop today.
Great song!!!!
I'm jawdropped, why haven't I heard you guys before now...?
That's exactly what I though when I first heard them.
Exactly. These guys are just incredible
Agree, ambling alp, and longevity is also great!
Tighten up, THIS IS OLD
one of the greatest live bands ive been fortunate to see

I am seeing them live for the second time tomorrow! They are ridiculously good live, that is how I got into them!
they were so great at camp bisco. I fell in love all over again every song they played!
This is my favorite recording of any song
astounding..........his voice is like instrument all by itself
Yeeeessss
Well said and agreed
Wow, I commented on this 12 years ago, unreal.@@earlybirdxx
for the guitar its
C/G , Am, G, C/E, with capo on III,
(so that the real chords are Eb/Bb, Cm, Bb, Eb/G)
(the bass line is Bb/C/Bb/G, Bb/C/Bb/x.)
Pure love for this, thank you so much!
absolutely. SO TRUE. both of those other songs are also songs i have been mix-CDing for a while, and this one is certainly up there. good call!
One of the weirdest bands I've ever heard, but man do they put on an awesome live show! This is a pretty good representation of their live sound, but the video doesn't do it justice. They're an experience!
Only discovered Yeasayer!! They are one of the best and original bands out there!!!
God, I CANNOT wait to see them next month!!! They are so awesome
i have heard of these guys, i just didnt realize they were so damn good until this weekend now i can't stop.
Thanks for Your fantastic performance 15/08/2010 Sziget fesztival, Budapest, Hungary. See You next year!!! Forever Yours... X.

I have been listening to this since I found out about Cloud Cult and I have to say that I still have so much love for this band!!!!
Absolutely amazing. Probably my favourite song off DWTN. They're great live as well.
Thats such a feel good song. Bring on the spring
i wholeheartedly agree. i can't imagine anything topping this. absolute genius.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUUUUUUUUUUCK. i think this band might be the reason i'v been listening to music for the last 31 years; to find this band.
Just gave it a listen, a jewel of a song!!!
this is the first song in a long time to make me smile the first time i hear it because its so good.
Spot on! Yeah I definitely hear that influence in the vocals too .
So you're wishing that you never did
All the embarrassing things you've done
And you're wishing you could set it right
And you're wishing you could stay the night
But then I go again, wishing never solved a problem
If you wanna get it big time, go ahead and get it get it big time
So I think I can solve all my problems by myself
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind
And you think you can solve all your problems by yourself
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind
Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more
Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more
Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more
Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more
the way he sings in this song is like music to my ears.........wait
completely excellent voice. amazing band. x
just cant stop listening to this. it is great!
Brooklyn represent. god they are soooo good...
ive been watching videos on this account for years and ive never commented on one but i gotta say, this is amazing
They are still the same they just know how to be dynamic and engage people's minds
So they are still the same except their music sounds different... so they are different in the only way that is actually important for a MUSIC GROUP.
I have to agree that this song is above and beyond the others on the album. Can't stop dancing to and loving this song.
Goes to show originality is still possible in the modern musical world.
The background music is amazing! And I like the singing style~
wow, amazing track
2023! Long reign yea
Can't wait to see them in Madison! YAY!
saw them last night, and despite the relative shortness of it, I'd do it all over again. amazing
Nice! It was a great show, that is for sure!
i feel like ive been waiting for something like this for so long.
Simply Amazing.
His voice is amazing! so haunting
The world is upside down, people should praise and admire those with enough talent and courage to innovate and create beautiful music, not hate on them.
This song is so amazin ! Yeasayer rocks !
This is fantastic.
favorite band.
these guys are definitely on a rise to the top.
it will most likely be on their next album
i cant wait
i wonder when its going to be released, this is my favorite song from these guys
One of the sickest live performances ive seen in a while
Wonderful stuff!!!
Amazing
Unbelievable inspiring music
best song of the year, hands down
love this. superb.
This is such a brilliant song.
Amazing. So damn amazing.
yay!!!! I'm seeing them tomorrow night!!!!
very nice song with really great sound
wow. truly epic. awesome performance.
Love it love it love it!

I love how they look completely different in person
Anand is tiny and growing his hair back out
Ira is massive: tall and sort of muscular with a mohawk
fact- this song made me fall in love with them.
Love it!
This band is breath taking.
I love his voice
These guys totally rocked it!
They are never gonna be better than this.
they were so great live.
Found this on Dark Was The Night which I found through listening to The National....great song.
wow last time i saw this video this thing had little view this is pretty cool to sit back and watch a good band get more viewers!
i love his voice
damn, just checking out bands playing at Outside Lands this year and came across this. pretty dope...
Amazing!!!!!!!!
Just brilliant
