Parquet Courts - Captive Of The Sun Lyrics

What don't you guys do perfectly? hat a great band

Would it be offensive for me to say this reminds me a bit of Cake?

sounds like beardo and andrew lagacy not sure

I remember watching this on Colbert and have been looking for this rendition of the song since, and nearly gave up.

Get off your high horse.

tfw when you thought it was the normal version and some gangsta starts spittin' O__O

Sonds a lot like Cake

Morgan Vlogs amazing song

I have visions of an old strung out desert junkyard

Happy jelly in the middle sandwiched by two pieces of rusted apocalyptic crusty pieces of wonder bread

This is shit

*the shit

how the fuck does this have only 54K views coming to see u in detroit in two weeks

I approve this

The rap part and tighter production makes a good song even better.

I thought of Ben Folds, Beck, Gorillaz, and Nickatina at first listen.

this is awful

@Epicytper some people are to thick headed or stubborn or rasist to enjoy rap music

Bun B. on the track? Congratulations, Parquet Courts; you now have clout.

I totally miss the screechy and chunky guitars.

There's some CAKE in this...

I'm from the streets of Bklyn, our music was beating our Mothers pots & pans, & wiping away the blood from the last street fight. Great song

FANTASTIC

I love this a lot

90's is back

THE TRILL OG!

sounds a bit like brad neely to me lol

The chopped & slopped b side version even moreso.

That is what it is! I couldn't remember who it sounded like which was bothering me so much! :D

wow, by self-definition i feel bad to anyone whom can relate, then again there might be some really bad shit out there where staying in is best and survival is key but how amazing is something where you might relate soundgarden, rage against the machine, and run the jewels

mathew richwalski What the fuck is this comment

hell yes!

Does anyone know other artists with a sound similar to this?

While I dont know any artist truely distinctive of this sound, I do know a song that has a very familiar vibe: https://youtu.be/p_b4CBtRT60

Bun fucking B!

Fantastic. Does have that Gorrilaz vibe; I didn't expect to hear this direction from Parquet Courts.

Bun B could be on a black metal song and would still ride it lmao

ugh - why they gotta let some low-rent rapper shit all over the middle of the song... yawn

The album version of this song doesn't have Bun-B (aka Low-rent rapper). I think he really adds to the song, but thats just me.

Low rent rapper? Lol wtf. Clearly you dont like rap and can take your comment and shove it

oblivious maximus

they need to collab again!

this is insanely perfect

who's here BC fantano

Lyrics: My misophonia brought the faders up
Now she's a military grade In Dolby Surround, around 5.1
Cue the barking from the baritone Conductor in the pit for the car honk duet
Half-tone harmony from the sewer Rebel youth choir belt phrases even newer
Dump truck man drops the beat with trash cans Call 911! We got therapy demands
Philharmonic got a first chair car crash Pan the falsetto to smash the glass
It's a drive-by lullaby that couldn't get worse A melody abandoned in the key of New York

[Chorus]
Where nothing comes after
I'm a passtime streamer
Hanging from the rafters
I don't get out
I don't have fun
Living like a captive of the sun

[Verse 2]
Sight read the chart Clap the rocks into sand
A 12-pass van on a pot-hole band stand Got an oil can hangover by default
And trucks pave the roads with amphetamine salt Skull shaking cadence of the J train rolls The rhythm of defeat, repeating like a pulse
Marching on and static, lyrics shout a retort To the melody abandoned in the key of New York

[Chorus]
Where nothing comes after
I'm a passtime streamer
Hanging from the rafters
I don't get out
I don't have fun
Living like a captive of the sun

the needle drop brought me here....

the singer sounds like Jon Lajoie lmao

The rap style reminds me of Jon Lajoie's MC Vagina character. 😂😂😂

This works astonishingly well.

bun b is an absolute natural

this is like Gorillaz in the universe of Borderlands if that makes sense

I fucking love Borderlands.

And that's why you should be a reviewer

Hovsep me a and my 6 years old sister love gorillaz. I love borderlands. you nailed it.

how the fuck does this make sense to me??? lmaooo

shut da fuck up

This is weird, but kinda dope. Bun B is a legend.

Sounds like early 90's Beck. Great song.

omg yess lol

spot on Sal

Totally! I was about to say the same thing. You are so right.

Looks like him as well

Ooooohhhh FUCK YEAH BUD
