Love the transition into different genres of music here. Soft quiet melodic, to a clean alt. rock star voice, then to a style that mimics almost some sort of quasi-reggae, shouting words in bursts. Then at the highs at the end. This range in style is really what does this song for me, not just the range in pure vocals. Also, listening to this on Spotify, I thought for sure this was a man, but then I heard the highs and had to go look up the singer. Possible that upon learning she is a woman, I like it even more haha. As an aside, I really believe it's indie bands similar to this that really house more creativity than the popular music we are mostly exposed to. I think almost every artist that has "made it' certainly has a degree of talent. But can you really imagine Taylor swift looping her own percussion, background vocal, and ukulele on top of singing? I can't. Sorry.

Only heard this tune 3 days ago. Before then, had never even known of the group. I find strength in my vulnerability so it replenishes me to bare all, in tRuTh…. Wishing wells & eternal springs comparatively couldn’t hold a candle to the live giving waters you’re mastery here produced. This song saturates the dehydrated parts of me that once nourished eons of acres, my lush & timeless source. Your words are the gravity inside the depths of my fractal heart, the instrumentation’s resonance vibrates with the wholeness my soul, provides definitive distinction when played in reverse and then once again from the start. A serendipitous encounter with artistr. I’m bound. ⛓ ⛓ ⛓ Fated & seemingly bound. The universe provided so I found a savior in an Earth Angel disguised as an Oak Town locksmith. 🔑s you’ve provided to unlock my mental constraints. Sleep deprivation, ✔️ PTSD from unhealed childhood wounds ✔️✔️, the insanity & honest hope to magically transmute villain who who holds your heart, feeds u poison into an Elixir Antidote. No victim am I, although disillusionment pervades willing participant of a narcissist’s love, a 5 yr charade. 3 days ago was the eNd of half a decade worth of bliss, betrayal, torture masked as rescue; all of which since adolescence id been groomed, chose as an adult, result- I’d become addicted to. This song so recently unbeknownst to me instantly gave me oxygen when the pressure against my lungs increased. Incessantly trying to mend, perpetually perplexed. I ain’t been to sleep in 2 years, you’ve done what I couldn’t, miraculously provided the perfect atmosphere for my mind to rest. Eternally grateful an understatement. Indebted, one at best. I pray the destination of desires always be at your shores, & your blood line forever be blessed. ✌🏾

I didn't like it at first, but then I actually watched it and I was like this is cool and from there I became a Tuneyards fan. it was the best accident I ever did in my life.

amazing voice and talent! I seriously got goose bumps listening to this! very well done tune yard!!

I have watched this video probably 100+ times. She lays down the drum track, a vocal loop, plays the Uke, and drops a mind blowing vocal range and you focus on the bass? I could learn that bass line in a couple of hours easily, but I could NEVER replicate what she is doing. There is an amazing musician on display and it isn't the bass player.

@@randyg3778 she can't play the bass too obv. Lol no I love Merrill! Idk why I said that 4 yrs ago but I must have been particularly feeling the bass that day.
Like won’t cut it. Need an ‘utter obsession’ button for this masterpiece
Late to the game but IN LOVE with this fucking amazing song. TUnE-yArDs just fucking kills me with the awesomeness...
This song is so amazing I'm happy this video exists.
She genuinely has such an amazing voice and the way she syncs everything so perfect is mind blowing. I agree with everyone else she gives me chills listening to her.
In 2018 I cycled the circumference of the big island of Hawaii and found this song on that ride. I listened to it for hours on repeat and still love it to this day. Listen every time I’m on a long bike ride :)
This song is amazing. I was blown away when I learned the singer is a woman! AMAZING! I'm so impressed. I'm in love.
Wow she's incredible and this song hits my soul! Beautiful..the ranges in her voice and the music is stunning 😍
Love the transition into different genres of music here. Soft quiet melodic, to a clean alt. rock star voice, then to a style that mimics almost some sort of quasi-reggae, shouting words in bursts. Then at the highs at the end. This range in style is really what does this song for me, not just the range in pure vocals. Also, listening to this on Spotify, I thought for sure this was a man, but then I heard the highs and had to go look up the singer. Possible that upon learning she is a woman, I like it even more haha. As an aside, I really believe it's indie bands similar to this that really house more creativity than the popular music we are mostly exposed to. I think almost every artist that has "made it' certainly has a degree of talent. But can you really imagine Taylor swift looping her own percussion, background vocal, and ukulele on top of singing? I can't. Sorry.

I’m sure she’s capable of it. The looping and vocals and percussion isn’t the limitation, I don’t think. The style - absolutely.
Still listening during the corona quarantine. This song brings me to life during the darkest of times
This is my favorite song!!
I've played this dozens of times. Reminds of the times right before hurricane maria in 2017....
Only heard this tune 3 days ago. Before then, had never even known of the group. I find strength in my vulnerability so it replenishes me to bare all, in tRuTh…. Wishing wells & eternal springs comparatively couldn’t hold a candle to the live giving waters you’re mastery here produced. This song saturates the dehydrated parts of me that once nourished eons of acres, my lush & timeless source. Your words are the gravity inside the depths of my fractal heart, the instrumentation’s resonance vibrates with the wholeness my soul, provides definitive distinction when played in reverse and then once again from the start. A serendipitous encounter with artistr. I’m bound. ⛓ ⛓ ⛓ Fated & seemingly bound. The universe provided so I found a savior in an Earth Angel disguised as an Oak Town locksmith. 🔑s you’ve provided to unlock my mental constraints. Sleep deprivation, ✔️ PTSD from unhealed childhood wounds ✔️✔️, the insanity & honest hope to magically transmute villain who who holds your heart, feeds u poison into an Elixir Antidote. No victim am I, although disillusionment pervades willing participant of a narcissist’s love, a 5 yr charade. 3 days ago was the eNd of half a decade worth of bliss, betrayal, torture masked as rescue; all of which since adolescence id been groomed, chose as an adult, result- I’d become addicted to. This song so recently unbeknownst to me instantly gave me oxygen when the pressure against my lungs increased. Incessantly trying to mend, perpetually perplexed. I ain’t been to sleep in 2 years, you’ve done what I couldn’t, miraculously provided the perfect atmosphere for my mind to rest. Eternally grateful an understatement. Indebted, one at best. I pray the destination of desires always be at your shores, & your blood line forever be blessed. ✌🏾
her voice is a force of nature
She makes it look so easy. Amazing.
My god, what a voice/spirit and musical sensibility. This tune is just stripped down to such bare essentials (all the more better to hear her beautiful sexy voice) and still delivers so powerfully. When those harmonies come in toward the end... perfection.
So this is my first exposure to this band. I haven't been able listen to this enough. Right now its her power bouncing around inside my head for the last few days >_
Back to just say how unreal this is. My mind is BLOWN. One of the most powerful performances of all time. Years later, and I still can’t stop thinking about it. So glad Spotify randomly played me this song, once. 💖
I can't stop watching this version It's so gooood
This video just made my dreams come true. Have always loved "powa", but seeing Merrill build it, layer by layer, makes it all the more beautiful.
Still gives me shivers to listen to this! I had the privilege of seeing her live a few years back. Still one of the best concerts i’ve been to
Ahhhh!!! So cool and unique!!!!! This song gives me chills her vocals are just plain impressive
I really love tuneyards, I remember when I accidentally discovered when I was 12. I was playing around on the TV and I went OnDemand and I went to rock, so I could tease them, because I thought rock n rollers were crazy. I then saw tuneyards, so I clicked it and it was the song bizness. I didn't like it at first, but then I actually watched it and I was like this is cool and from there I became a Tuneyards fan. it was the best accident I ever did in my life. I've been a Tuneyards fan for 5 years. im 16
Favorite ukulele song besides somewhere over the rainbow
I've been going on a cruise for years now and for this upcoming cruise (2019) it was just announced tUnE-yArDs will be going/performing! I've only heard one song by them (Gangsta) but really liked it and after hearing this news I'm now starting to bounce around KZread to hear more. This should be quite the show...
her dynamics never get old...need to catch 'em live!
Just got by 2 year notification of discovering this song, and it’s still my favorite. 💖
Come to Austin, Texas, please. I am a musician and I have never loved music more than this. Absolutely beautiful, magical...art. Thank you so much for what you do. Life-changing.

I love how you can hear Merrill vocalising under her breath to keep the time when she's recording the drum loops. I always wondered how she did that.
I wish she worked at my work and every once in a while just started singing. Make work easier!
