For me, anyway... this is first the saddest and most moving, then the most heartfelt, and most heartbreaking, and finally the most epic, most hopeful, most triumphant and most joyful song and video ever... Thank you, Brian, Nick and Karen and thank you for your show at Echo Beach.

Don't despair...

By far the best song I've ever heard that describes how it feels when a period of depression descends upon you...and how it feels when that depression lifts.

The most joyous song about depression-don't jump!

I dealt with depression for years… I’m in a much better headspace now - this song kind of helped me through it - for me this song meant that “despair/sadness/sorrow will always be there - it’s a part of me and it will never go away and it’s okay. I don’t have to be afraid to live. Life really is full of ups and downs and I just have to enjoy it all no matter how hard it is - life is beautiful like this, with all of it’s imperfections”. 2022 and yes I searched for this song. 💜🖤💜

Appreciate your comment, didn't search for any of this yet fell in love with YYY immediately

First time hearing this track... Exactly what I needed to hear. I.m still trying to recover from many years of abuse and I am having a hard time tonight. Asking for The sun to rise...

Don't despair, you're there From beginning, to middle, to end Don't despair, You're there through my wasted days You're there through my wasted nights Oh despair, you've always been there You've always been there You've always been there You're there through my wasted years Through all my lonely fears, no tears Run through my fingers, tears They're stinging my eyes, no tears If it's all in my head there's nothing to fear Nothing to fear inside Through the darkness and the light Some sun has got to rise My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days You're there through my wasted nights You're there through my wasted years You're there through my wasted life You've always been there You've always been there You've always been there There through my wasted years Through all of my lonely fears, no tears Run through my fingers, tears They're stinging my eyes, no tears We're all on the edge, there's nothing to fear Nothing to fear inside Through the darkness and the light Some sun has got to rise My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Some sun has got to rise My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun My sun is your sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Your sun is our sun Some sun has got to rise

One of the very few bands that may even be better live. So.much energy

I first heard this song when the hardest moment in my life passed and I felt helpless and worthless and this helped me release the moment the guitar solo and bridge kick in. You guys nailed it with this song. I will never forget the first time I heard this. Beautiful

the song helped me a lot when one of my best friends died unexpectedly in thailand. At least he died where he liked it best. Rest easy Milo Dan

I can never figure out if this Band is always ahead of their time or their sound is just timeless.

I was feeling really F-ing down when I played this, now by the time it's over I'm singing along with a big smile on my face. This is JUST what I needed.

Karen is just the coolest, most awesome, powerful, amazing woman. And this song rocks.

Dispair never sounded so epic and beautiful. ♥

one of the few bands i love that didn't come from the 90's. they make music comparable to that era.

I love this band. So glad they're still making music.

They all seem like they're pretty good actors/entertainers espiecally in terms of facial expressions and such.

I just now realized how truly iconic this band and Karen O. are... Ms. O is the culmination of Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynett, Linda Rhondstat and.... Janis Joplin... a true,primal force!

the mention of the shared sun in this song, in connection to the sun melting golden houses in Spitting Off The Edge of The World

Listening to this every single morning for weeks, since we've been inside almost every single day. Shared it with my classes (college students in nyc) and they appreciated it too. Thank you YYYs and Karen O for making this and for being awesome.

I just fell in love with this song/video. Karen's smile is so gorgeous and the way she is always dancing and jumping all over the place, the guys playing... for some reason it makes me feel happy XD

There is perfection & there is Karen O and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Thank you "you were always there". Love & appreciation from an Irishman.

Perfect song, perfect band, perfect video - with great shots/composition. Love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs since '03..kinda takes me back that way, lots of crazy nights back then...powerful if you catch their vibe...

My sun is your sun, for all those who are suffering, we can fight, while we still breathe.

Cheer~~~the complete loss or absence of hope.😊

She is amazing and I love this music video.

despair feels like my only companion these days

This and Maps.. , and i'm in love with this band. 😍

I've been a massive fan when Fever to Tell came out, then after It's Blitz I've just stopped to listen to them. Today I searched for them, after years and years, and I got this stunning video and beatiful song. Feeling the lyrics has been written for me and for the tough I've been through. Thanks YYY's. Glad I met you, back in 2009.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs songs have the ability to inspire me no matter how bummed I get

Love her smile

Nothing to fear inside...

Such a band! Such a voice!!!!! Angels should sing like her!
