Architecture In Helsinki - Heart It Races Lyrics






And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races

I bought it in a can and stirred it with my finger
Singing boom-dadadadadadada boom-dadadada
Threw it out the window
And lately you've been tanned suspicious for the winter with your
Boom-dadadadadadada boom-dadadada
Legs like little splinters

And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races

I sold it to a man and threw him out that window
He went boom-dadadadadadada boom-dadadada
Made his wife a widow

Heart it races alone...
Boom dadadadadadada boom dadadada...

Architecture In Helsinki Heart It Races Comments
  1. L.... G....

    This honestly sucks coming back to it 10 years later

  2. T.... C....

    "Olivia Sun" notes 'Those of us that might’ve heard Dr. Dog’s rendition of “Heart it Races” for the first time probably did so from a Modest Mouse Pandora station in 2010'.

    That's exactly right and it's where I first heard it. Read the rest of her article. This quirky video is the original! But I like the Dr Dog version better, it's very sweet.

  3. D.... K....

    Terrible. Thankfully dr dog somehow saw potential and did it right.

  4. A.... k....

    Did they not only take the lyrics from Dr Dog, but also steal the tune from some traditional african song? Because 'the very best' has a song with the exact same instrumentation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTpX1NpDSBw

  5. y.... ....

    this song be hitting different rn

  6. g.... ....

    both versions are good

  7. O.... b....

    80,001 views are from me alone.

  8. J.... R....

    omfg .. i just had a bad trip

  9. V.... k....

    Is this some kind of parody song for Dr. Dog's version? It is so amateurish.

  10. T.... ....

    Did they make this and think it was good?

  11. x.... s....

    This reminds me of Dont Hug Me I'm Scared and idk how to feel about that

  12. G.... G....

    You actually Ruined this song for me

  13. O.... ....

    Am I on acid? WTF is happening?

  14. R.... S....

    I just remembered this band and song out of the blue. Last I was here was about six years ago...and I still don't know how I got here. Was this in any movie or something?

  15. M.... y....

    LMFAO! I've laught a lot! Lol I love the tropical/ african vibes!

  16. S.... V....

  17. c.... g....

    1:08 gives me goosebumps. It’s like flashing scenes of nature through my head

  18. R.... G....

    BUT DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER
    DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND THE VOLUME UP LISTENING TO THIS IN 2007/08?!?! Those were the days man ❤

  19. A.... F....

    i was mostly disappointing that they werent Finnish. great band otherwise

  20. K.... ....

    2019. This track was our summer tune back then.

  21. Y.... e....

    Only knowing of the dr dog version when I heard this for the first time I wasn’t a fan.. after listening 4 times I like it more than the dr dog cover

  22. s.... p....

    Merci radio nova

  23. Z.... R....

    definitely get some Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared vibes from the video but it also reminds me of the fire gang in Labyrinth

  24. A.... 3....

    Whelp I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight.... But I mean it was pretty good still lol

  25. P.... U....

    Holy shit I can’t stand their voices

  26. S.... C....

    Man Dr. Dog's version of this is so much better. And this is the original song. Crazy how bad this is in comparison, this sounds like muppets banging on drums for a Sesame Street version of this song.

  27. S.... ....

    Man, i grew up with the Dr. Dog version, so when I heard this one, I thought it was actually a joke lol.

    S.... ....

    You know this is the original song writers right?

  28. J.... B....

    Pépé le morse /Grandpa Walrus sent me.

  29. S.... ....

    im gonna have so may nightmares...........

  30. C.... C....

    LOL I had this playing at 1.25 speed from the last video and was thinking WTF is going on in THIS song.... ooooohhh...

  31. m.... ....

    Bernie Sanders voters

  32. K.... S....

    what did i just watch?

  33. A.... J....

    the original is the ultimate version, no question about it. This song can stand alone. Ive been listening to both versions for some time now and both deserve praise

  34. J.... L....

    Didn’t even need to grow on me. This was dope from the first listen. You guys are fucked.

  35. B.... C....

    Who remembers when this was featured on youtube's 'featured videos' page way back in the day?

  36. C.... ....

    A Winslow, two egg nog

  37. V.... I....

    So glad Dr. Dog did not butcher this masterpiece

  38. f.... ....

    Hard to imagine Dr Dogg heard this and made a good song of it.

  39. N.... T....

    dr dog better

  40. K.... S....

    Like this original better than Dr. Dog's, although that's good too.

  44. M.... H....

    What I don't understand about COMMENTS on YOU TUBE is IF you don't like something....MOVE ON!!!


    I really hate TROLLS.


    No one cares really if any one person in particular hates something. IF you like a vid. Like it, appreciate it and watch it.


    IF YOU HATE something so much that you have to spew HATE in the comment section On-Line ... ... WHY Are You Alive?? Biggest Mystery EVER !!

    It seems quite clear NOW that ANYONE with an Internet connection, somehow feels that their Opinion matters... just Move on

  45. I.... H....

    Gets in your blood, great little number 👍

  46. K.... S....

    Dr. Dog brought me here. but the original is better.

  47. g.... ....

    this is THE version

  48. A.... W....

    2:13 i know a delicious pear when i see one, even under a black light. nom nom

  49. I.... R....

    Dr dog version makes me want to puke, sad that this band doesn't get more credit

  50. S.... L....

    They have no dignity

    S.... L....

    who needs it

  51. Y.... K....

    Its making me want to die.

  52. T.... ....

    Does it say "heaven is a lie" at 2:00 repeatedly?

    T.... ....

    TheJellyFish1000 oh shit your right

    T.... ....

    The line is "heart it races alone".

  53. A.... V....

    Both versions are... it's subjective! There are fine reasons to love either and to hate the other, it's called taste.

  54. A.... P....

    Watched this as a child, still watching it 10 years later

  55. M.... G....

    it´s me or they are in mexico?

    M.... G....

    Parece ser Xochimilco y las pirámides de Teotihuacán.

    M.... G....

    wow, no crei que me responderian gracias owo

  56. S.... G....

    I surprisingly like both !

  57. C.... H....

    I've only ever listened to this version of the song , when I was a kid I loved this song

  58. Y.... R....

    That black light end segment waaaaaaas pretty cool tho...

  59. H.... G....

    I can't help but smile every time I watch + listen to this video + song. 😁

  60. J.... D....

    I like the music of this version better, but liked the singing of the Dr. Dog version more. If only there was a way to merge the two.

  61. I.... H....

    Mad record, but I love it, always makes me smile😀

  62. a.... ....

    original and the best

  63. N.... 7....

    Dr dogs version kills this trash

  64. O.... D....

    i have no idea why people like the dr. dog version of this song better. This is really interesting and different and the dr. dog version is just boring as hell.

  65. T.... T....

    Imagine a world so fucked up that you could take a really creative, great sounding, and well written song, create a dull ass acoustic cover, and have the majority of people believe that its a superior version...

  66. B.... H....

    its hard to beleive they're not taking the piss

  67. B.... A....

    crazy lemmings og good will

  68. T.... E....

    This video makes me want to kill myself.

    T.... E....

    which video ?
    you do it yet ?
    get bak ASAP

  69. m.... ....

    idk why everyone hates this version like honestly its sounds so good to me

  70. L.... M....

    As someone who enjoyed this song far before this "Dr.Dog" covered it, i resent him for causing braindead fanboys to flood the better sounding original with pure unadulterated garbage.

    I dont say this very often but remove yourself from the genepool i dont predict any of you to be worth the air you breathe

  71. A.... O....

    I love Dr dog and when I first heard this I was in disbelief that something so good as that cover generated from this. I can't stop listening to this though, they're so good in their own respects.

  72. S.... ....

    Anyone else notice the part where it breaks to the high pitch voice kind of sounds like Katy perry roar. Listen to the instrumental.

  73. m.... e....

    great idea for this song. I could watch it on repeat button. never get tired of it. I've heard of dr dogs version too. I like both 😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘

  74. K.... D....

    I listened to this song every day of my senior year of high school in 2009 and I still just love it so much

  75. S.... T....

    México <3

  76. C.... G....

    This is shit

  77. A.... C....

    But then they turn on the black light and you're like OOOOOHHHHH!!! Now I get it... O_O

  78. D.... P....

    I like this better than the dr dog cover but theyre both pretty decent in their own ways.

  79. H.... T....

    Not liking this. At first I thought it was an African tribe singing their village idiot song.

  80. l.... R....

    this just goes to show how amazing dr. dog is!

  81. B.... A....

    I come back when I feeeel freaky lmao not funny

  82. R.... G....

    Xochimilco rifa!!!

  83. M.... P....

    HEARTED RACIST

  84. F.... M....

    both versions of the songs are great jesus you guys respect both artists 1 for making an original great fun song and the other for not ruining the song but making another brilliant version of it! we all have our preferences but respect other peoples opinions atleast

  85. l.... ....

    what the heck

  86. I.... P....

    Mad as a bag of frogs. Amazing

  87. A.... M....

    This is like a children's video with some Mario party music over it. Dr. Dog's is way better.

  88. N.... ....

    I remember when I was a little kid, and my mom put this on for me. What is this song about?

  89. M.... Z....

    why can't they both be awesome for their own reasons?

  90. r.... ....

    Someone correct me. They are in Tenochtitlan? 0:34 Inca walls 2:05 chinampas 2:07 extracts hearts !!
    so very tematic!!

  91. M.... ....

    Just scrolling through these comments and it seems to me like some people feel like that because they prefer one version the other one must be absolute trash. They're going for completely different tones. Just because one version is down tempo and isn't trying to be "exciting" or the other version is completely insane doesn't mean that either version is completely unlistenable.
    They're just different.

    M.... ....

    Red pilled

  92. T.... ....

    HARDLY RACIST!

  93. J.... K....

    i like both versions of this song.. both done in their own pleasing way, depending on the mood.   :)thank you

  94. J.... W....

    I thought we agreed to never be creative again.

    J.... W....

    this is in fact where they got the hearts for that video

    J.... W....

    Green is not a creative color.

  95. M.... C....

    omg did this inspire Sia's video for clap your hands ? dont care love both Aussie acts...

  96. K.... ....

    I remember when Places Like These was the biggest album for me for a couple months. I forgot about it not long after...hmm. I still remembered the weirdness of this music video.
