The Black Keys - Little Black Submarines [Official Music Video]

[thelight]

I'm 74 years old and this is the first time I've listened to these guys. They now have a new fan. This is classic rock at it's finest.

[kevinli]

I think this the black key's best song

[jillianelise]

Not only does this song kick ass in terms of rock n roll, but the lyrics are beautiful, and it has meaning beyond just catchiness. There's a sense of yearning and finding a spark of optimism after constant failures. Heard them live yesterday, and the echoes of thousands of people singing the same lyrics was haunting. Incredible band. My favorite band.

One of the greatest tracks ever. Still 100% going strong.

[MinecraftGuid]

The way they build up the song is so awsome!

[raymondfair]

This is so awesome, in 20 years there will be teens commenting saying, "i was born in the wrong generation" because this shit is an instant classic

[TheCavalryHasArived]

Im 13 and I’m so glad that I was born into a family of rock addicts

[Samantha-bmof]

We sang this song at my dad's funeral six years ago and I still cry every time I hear it. It's so beautiful and it meant so much to him.

[bassplayabrayden]

Man, I was born in the right generation.

[donnarooney]

I would pay an obscene amount of money to see them in a small club like that!

[Mclvinorgan]

When I saw them perform live with this song, phones and matches raised, I literally felt the energy in the arena. I'll always love this song🤟🕯

[Kristopherredford]

I sit here listening to this song while my friend spends his last days in the hospital, one of the few things that can calm me down besides our visits. I can't explain the depth, meaning and solace that this song brings to me, but all I want to do is scream the lyrics until I see my guts. Thank you for making this song.

[Devir]

After years ahead I returned to this song, I cried, and now I could find a clear meaning to the song.
It is not only for depression, it is about life going on, choices, failures, and being disconnected from what you were planning, what you dreamed and thought about yourself, it all disappears in reality, it stays in a "back part of the mind", it's still there to remind you, but you just go to another path after each step.
The song is a conversation with your mind, operator is your conscience, and you keep talking to pick the right path, but end up with another result you did not expect or want. The result is clearly, you end frustrated, your desires, your relationships, the lovely advices end up being nothing, so nether the voices calling is about your mind and your surrounding, and the final result is: a broken heart. So broken, that is blinded by his own thoughts and already known ways to find cure, but you are constantly sabotaged by your own mind. Operator, please, you know the way, you know what affects you, but the more logical as it is, you do not get pass by it the way you want, and the years passed. Maybe it's time to forget what you know.
As the tittle say, little black submarines is the small signs, the results, the steps, that keep coming small as they are, as black as what they result, taken as submarines by sinking from the reallity to a deep state of mind under the surface that you try to surpass. It's really in time for a deep change, the final part brings me angry, but enthusiastic too, the change from the accoustic part is clearly, the lyrics didn't change, it's all about your state of mind, hope was allways there. I'm pround of my evolution, and I know that better days are allways coming.
Yep, it's a nice song xD

Oh can of beans, the oyster's calling me...

[bravoswift]

It's 2021 and this is still one of my favorites.

[NoorAlHaqiqa]

I have been a music buff since the early 50's and I can guarantee THESE guys are absolutely right up there with the best of them. They should weather nicely over the years.

[Renatosilva-wozb]

Excellent band. Rock n roll is alive in this century.

[jonorourke]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written, in a time when we thought great songs would never be written again. .
