Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Diamond Sea Lyrics






Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo

Time takes its crazy toll
And how does her mirror grow?
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
Cause the mirror’s gonna steal your soul

I wonder how it came to be my friend
Someone just like you has come again
Never, never know how close you came
‘Til you fall in love with the diamond rain

Throw all his trash away
Look out, he’s here to stay
Your mirror’s gonna crack when he breaks into it
Never, never be the same

Look into his eyes and you can see
Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
Wonder how he’s gonna make it back
When he says you know it’s make-believe

Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo

Black crystal lies to sand
Now I hope you will understand
Reflected into his broken glass soul
Now the mirror is your only friend

Look into his eyes and you will see
You’re never not alone on a diamond sea
Sail into the heart of a lonely storm
And tell her that you love her eternally

Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo

    They should do a MTV Unplugged episode...if they still do those. They'd be great.

  24. H.... ....

    Oops, I'm so sorry i didn't realize it was a cover. I should have known I mean it's obvious when you listen to the song , i'll go kill myself now.

  27. D.... W....

    666 likes, i wont ruin it

  28. O.... ....

    i pray karen didn't sell her soul to the devil. she has to be too smart for that.

    O.... ....

    In 2003 or so, when their first album came out Hugh Hefner asked her to be in Playboy and she told him to go fuck himself... ;-)

  29. S.... E....

    It's a Sonic Youth cover - More of an effort should be made to know the origins of music -

  30. M.... T....

    It is so very good!!!

  31. r.... ....

    I'd make love to Karen O's voice if I could. Love her.

  32. J.... B....

    Is this song about Kurt Cobain?

    J.... B....

    João Barreto no

    J.... B....

    No, but Junkies Promise by SY is about Kurt.

  33. L.... F....

    IM CRYING SOO GOOOD

  34. X.... ....

    what have i just sumbled upon????..........

  35. C.... B....

    Sonic Youth is the band who made this song, dude.

  36. 1.... ....

    I hope this is a joke

  37. u.... ....

    i would go gay for her any day

  38. E.... .....

    i love u karen

  39. j.... o....

    me too exept sonic youth I don't know they

  40. s.... ....

    It is 100% from that iTunes session. There is no other version of them performing this in existence.

  41. R.... C....

    Isn't that a bit subjective considering that you didn't even like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs before listening to this? This is a great cover but the original is 19+ minutes for a reason.

  42. s.... a....

    そにっく・ゆーす、おりじなるそんぐ。

  43. �.... ....

    I can think no other band more worthy to cover such a legendary SY song. Love both versions.

  44. s.... ....

    I would just like to point out to everyone that this version was recorded for the iTunes session which was completely acoustic. So, this is Yeahs' acoustic cover of Diamond Sea. Who's to say what it would sound like if they really recorded this song in studio. It definitely wouldn't be quite this quiet and innocent. The other songs in the session are played a tad slower than their studio versions but sound great as well.

  45. f.... ....

    I love Sonic Youth and I love Karen O and I am SO glad I accidentally found this :D

  46. t.... ....

    I just can't get on with this cover at all. I can't pick anything wrong with it musically but because I immidiately compare it to Sonic Youths original it just doesn't stand out enough to stand on its own as a song.

  47. N.... ....

    great cover!

  48. s.... ....

    @Mangina9000 dude there is nothing wrong with covering a song chill out...

  49. S.... P....

    this cover nearly matches the excellence of the original..

  50. K.... ....

    Best Cover Ever

  51. k.... ....

    v v v poor cover, luv sonic youth n yyy's but this is utter crap! give some smack n it might sound better, infact just give me some smack n then i wouldn't be bothered even commenting

  52. D.... F....

    nahhhhhh yellow brick road sarah blasko but great cover sexy voice miss the infamous guiar riff thou the who who whoooooo whos just dont cut the mustard

  53. G.... B....

    i love the original, but i think this cover is awsome too

  54. T.... B....

    @pingui0987 Do you mean to say that this song is cool but it's not as good as Thurston's version? Sorry, I didn't really understand - if so, I agree.

  55. 1.... ....

    @YaWantTaters korean/polish

  56. J.... ....

    Tooooooooo slow!!!

  57. Y.... ....

    Be she Asian?

  58. D.... ....

    Feeling this

  59. T.... B....

    Thurston Moore is the only one who can truly make me cry when I hear this song...but this isn't awful.

  60. a.... ....

    Beautiful......

  61. J.... O....

    Like it

  62. P.... S....

    GREAT COVER!!!!! One of my favorite songs off all times !!!!!! i,,i_

  63. S.... ....

    @frazzy860 I am not one who thinks a cover should just be the same song with different people playing the instruments. A cover should be a translation of the songs feeling and theme. It can sound completely different, but should still at least convey the same message. This is a weak take on a brilliant song. SY's version is epic, a long and intense ride through a sea of beautiful sound. This is nothing more than 'nice'. Her voice is great, but it is an insult to the original.

  64. f.... d....

    @Salsashark516 can you explain exactly how they missed the mark?

  65. S.... ....

    Big fan of Yeah Yeah Yeah's, but they really missed the mark here.

  66. k.... ....

    Love Karen O.

  67. L.... B....

    my ears just ejaculated love.

  68. J.... E....

    liking sonic youth is not about personal opinion. it just is. like love.

  69. h.... ....

    @123412341234het The only people who say this are the people who haven't seen sonic youth live.

  70. b.... ....

    no 15 minutes of feedback? haha still a great cover

  71. b.... ....

    <3 awesome cover! love it!

  72. 1.... ....

    @iceray0 And Sonic Youth are over-rated. Here comes your rebuttal regarding how wrong Iam. Its easy to liberally spray your opinions at people. It doesn't make you right or your taste in music any more valid. And just for the record, I have nothing against Sonic Youth, just not my thing.

  73. X.... R....

    The only thing I didn't like about this cover is that it leaves out the instrumental breakdowns between verses. I understand why the droney noise section wasn't included, but they probably could've figured out how to tackle the breakdowns in between.

  74. i.... ....

    @Awesomo4003 Sense a condescending tone from text on the interwebz? You must be god.

  75. g.... c....

    hummm karen.....i love yu !!! lol

  76. R.... V....

    I THINK SOUNDS GOOD OK KO!!

  77. c.... ....

    Please. This might be true about a song like White Cross but this cover is actually better than SY's original.

  78. J.... ....

    Props for covering a good song. Even if I don't like their version.

  79. F.... ....

    Well go ahead with the hands down but Sonic Youth's Diamond Sea is a perfect song just by itself, I mean it's a nice cover by the YYY but I think it doesn't even compare with the spine chilling soul orgasmic original.

  80. D.... ....

    Hey how about you suckz0rz n00bz0rz

  81. i.... ....

    HAHAHAHA this is so funny, when I saw that someone tried to cover this song I started laughing so hard, NEVER try and cover a Sonic Youth song, it's not possible. I gave this song a try and I don't think it even comes close to Sonic Youth. Attempting the song gave them mad props but what they did with it took all those props away and then some. I'm with MankinCartoons here Fever to Tell was the only thing this band did that was worth a damn.

  82. J.... B....

    ill give her some mad props

  83. M.... H....

    I've never been so in love with a cover song

  84. m.... ....

    this just shows that sonic youth writes pretty good pop songs.

    but i still want crazy effects!

  85. A.... P....

    Disagree, but both good bands.

  86. v.... ....

    realy cool
