      +Grayson Whitehair ahh the cape isnt as preppy as you would think. i mean yea it definitely is, and the summer parties are definitely like this, but i love the cape for the sunsets and rises, the beach, and the feeling you get. there's something magical about living here and that's why i love this song haha

    Love this song! I know this is random info, but "Kwassa Kwassa" is a type of dance found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's commonly associated with the music genre "Soukous" or African Rumba, which is where the guitar melody in this song got its influence.

    This is THE song that got me hooked on VW. I live in a small town, so songs like these are not played on our hokey local stations. I got a car with Sirius SM and heard this then fell in love. Unfortunately after doing research, I also found out that the band had broken up. I vowed that if they ever got back together that I would go anywhere to see them in concert. Years later, got to see them in Nashville. LOVE THIS BAND!!

      There's a young girl
      We'll leave at dawn
      With your mother
      I'm standin on
      Did you stay up
      C'n we see the dawn
      In the colors
      i'm bettin' on (? maybe?)
      In retrospect, I never gave it much thought, I just loved it for it in it's entirety and didn't care much what it was saying. IT felt quite silly to look at what i thought (?) they might be saying? But wasnt quite sure. Also, I couldn't give a squat'n'shit about louis vuitton or however it's spelled, and I sort of assumed they wouldn't much either, so i never expected something of that nature to be in one of their songs.

    I feel like few really see how groundbreaking and epic this album really was. These guys created a genre, something that is increasingly difficult to do as music progresses. I've realized this from the many times i've searched on itunes for a band similar to this, always finding nothing comparable. I despise the hipsters and indie fanatics who embraced the album (after it got the "nod" by pitchfork, etc.), blogged about it, and then abandoned VW because their second album wasn't "hip" enough.

      The closest thing I could compare, and say they were probably influenced by was Paul Simon’s album, Graceland.

    • @aspartameindustry
      @aspartameindustry Před 4 měsíci

      13 years on and all I hear is Paul Simon mixed with generic punk-adjacent indie pop like Cake or the White Stripes. It sounds good but not genre defining. It's funny how time changes how we perceive the ancestry of music influences.

    As a young girl, Louis Vuitton
    With your mother on a sandy lawn
    As a sophomore with reggaeton
    And the linens you're sitting on
    Is your bed made?
    Is your sweater on?
    Do you wanna fly?
    Like you know I do, like you know I do, ooh
    This feels so unnatural
    , too
    But this feels so unnatural
    Peter Gabriel
    Can you stay up to see the dawn
    In the colors of Benetton?
    Is your bed made?
    Is your sweater on?
    Do you wanna fly?

    this album is just pure gold, not a single bad song, so many happy memoires driving around listening to it in my car, teenage days, does anyone else get Paul Simon vibes from vampire weekend? my music producer friend pointed it out to me, I wanna throw him some love as he's just released a new track that has vampire weekend vibes, try searching Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, its seriously one of the best new songs I've heard in a while,

    • @sonar3108
      @sonar3108 Před rokem

      Their sound is taken from Congolese soukous music. Paul Simon isn't the original influence. I don't blame you for not knowing. They don't do the greatest job of giving credit to African influences. Also, would love to see more actual African musicians getting credit for African music. It's disappointing that this is how most of America has been introduced to African music. History repeats itself.
