I adore the way he articulates himself and uses particular phrases to get his point across. Although I want to go into science, he really ignites my enthusiasm for music and analysing lyrics; Vampire Weekend really bring something to the music industry that it's been lacking for a long time.

@ryanabram4940 9 лет назад

I agree with you, and they're great, but to say that the music industry's been lacking is just ignorant, and you should probably open your ears up to what's been going on for the past 25 years. There's been no dip in intellectual depth or lyricism in music, you just haven't been presented with it.

Ryan Abram I know of many bands who have great depth to their lyrics, I just think Vampire Weekend do it in a way that is completely unique :)

@eucherenkov 8 лет назад

He's an English Literature major, I believe, so it's not a surprise that he's quite articulate and well-spoken.

Speaking of name fetishes, I love the name Ezra; it has so many colors in it.

@AlphaverseCosplay 10 лет назад

Cristopher Adan My mom named me Ezrah and I'm a girl, she just added an 'h' to try and make it more feminine I guess.

OMG. Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. I love this man, I love that he's aware of how pretentious he SEEMS. Oh, Ezra. My boo.

I cannot stop listening to Hannah Hunt. The whole record's great, but thats the one I play several times over and over.

@JoeCoughlin 11 лет назад

I think that Hannah Hunt may be their best song to date.

@sareh3z137933 11 лет назад

If my name inspire someone to write such a poem as what Ezra wrote for Hannah Hunt, specially the part it says:” A man of faith said hidden eyes could see what I was thinking, I just smiled and told him that was only true of Hannah …” I would need nothing else in my life. Maybe I`d hide myself in a cottage out of the city, reading that poem and cry all the time.

@biancahutner6444 11 лет назад

yeah i actually really like hannah hunt even though i wasn' t too psyched about it at first, and ive lsitened to the album like 15 times already

@14newt 11 лет назад

@mg112200 11 лет назад

My youtube-addled brain always makes me associate Hannah Hunt with Hannah Hart from My Drunk Kitchen.

@elizabethcuevas3491 10 лет назад

Let me just say I love this man so much him and Andrew and don't get me wrong I def love the rest of the band because like he said each person in a band contributes and each me ever has a part you know it wouldn't be amazing with just one every link has a purpose ahh but anyways in love with Hannah hunt wish Ezra made a song about me but my name doesn't have a ring to it ahh okay I'm done I love love love VW and MGMT peace to all
