Chairlift Peforms "Wrong Opinion" +1 

I miss chairlift so much. A reunion tour would be so nice.

Chairlift is genius. You cannot denigrate Chairlift. The music is exciting and original-no other band sounds exactly like Chairlift. Caroline has a voice like no other. She and Patrick are super smart and creative. Caroline is beyond beautiful.

I am quite certain I could never, EVER get enough of this music nor the musician

powerful performance; so sad they’re gone

She's like a dream.

I saw them in Austin back in April...Chairlift are sooo good live! They're not to be missed!

theyve been to my city 5 times and ive been out of town every time :(

this band has everything

They are magical and I am so sad I missed their Sydney show

I LAY MY GUTS OUT ON THE TABLE LAY MY GUTS OUT SHE SIAD NONOnooNOo

just magical

must have been like heaven in there

Chairlift rules!!!

Patrick's ending is marvelous

oh man missed the boat early with Chairlift. What a great performance

They're so cuteeee!

oh god I almost went to this show

God I love these guys, and PS1 is also incredible. Would have adored to have been there.

zac i want to hold u in my arms and never let go

Hey, is that Airick Woodhead at :10?

One of the very few things on my iPod thats not hip hop that's how you know music is good when it seems kinda left but you still fuck with it

2:54

Caroline’s solo music is wonderful but god I miss Chairlift

sweet vid.

hey, there's Stefon dancing in the crowd

5:12 those asians are high af

OMG WHERE?

Sounds to me like you just don't have the ear or preference for things beyond those going on in the melody / harmony fields. You'd probably prefer cheesy guitar noodling to Chairlift, and that's fine, but you should realize that technical virtuosity and making things "complicated" does not make it better. There is always something to be said for using simple progressions or even simple melodies. I'd encourage you to learn about production and synthesis as well, it might broaden your opinions.

Omg I totally found him.

CAROLINE IS SO PRETTTYYY

I am particularly a BIG fan of math rock, but I also like hip hop, post-rock, even a little edm. I don't think it's a good habit to hate on what you don't understand/enjoy. You might have the Wrong Opinion, as the name of this video suggests. Let's cease with the negativity. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this music is the best, but I will respect your opinion if you think it is.

No, music is not just "melodies and chord progressions" - there is groove, there is timbre, there is space, etc. Nearly all rock bands use the same simple chord progressions, just with different keys and different rhythms etc. That doesn't make the end music "the same". Your reductionist argument has no footing in modern music, please stop spouting bullshit. Chairlift are quite original

I like alot of contemporary music, mostly prog or sub-genres of. I would hate to think that this is popular belief of what contemporary music is because it gets so much better than this

This sounds like Sade

what are you talking about? draw a comparison, make it plain. I cannot think of one mainstream throat-rammed band to which Chairlift bear a significant resemblance. as for drones and whether or not they'd be dancing if the music had a different status: well, christ, if you're going to keep giving this much of a shit about things like that, you're going to live your life bitter and exhausted. love more. oh, and if you want to make a change, lead by example. (the example has to be visible.)

I remember that guy at 5:13 from other videos, and always looks bored as hell

Who cares if she's pretty, I don't think she's Cindy Crawford. The point is , her compositional skills are gorgeous. It's her brain and the way she interprets sounds. Other than that, her over all style is anything but glamorous.

All those hipsters on the crowd...

you assume i'm inflated when you yourself try to condescend by making assumptions? good arguement. now maybe go debate about something you understand.

...you don't like music made up of melodies and chord progressions? man, that's gotta be rough.

I think you just don't like contemporary music?

oh my! aren't you the passive individua?. this isn't about tastes in music, it's about the quality of writing and originality. has anything this artist presnted challenged the last 120 years of music?

when you boil music down to it's essentials it is made up of melodies and chord progressions. what i am saying is that there is nothing original going on here
