Rest in Peace Adam. You left a wonderful body of work behind. You gave us so much more than Stacy's Mom, you took pop songwriting to a classy and authentic place, and your fans will never forget you. Much love to your family and friends.
Somehow completely missed this melancholy song and album despite being a pretty devoted FOW fan. All the feels for discovering this swansong gem and album in 2023. RIP Adam :_
One of my top-five favorite FoW songs. I love the lines: "Whistle in the sweet pine trees, the imaginary airport breeze, it flickers and flows, fans fires in the road, and all we want to do is go home..." I have no idea what anything is this passage means, but I love it.
@@Queensizemusic Was it Chris though? By Sky Full of Holes, Chris was mostly absent. Adam and Chris tried to write like each other. This is clearly Chris' beautiful abstract style, but I reckon this was written by Adam.
Something definitely broke my heart :'-( I was looking forward to listening to their music all summer and dreaming of a reunion - not all dreams come true I suppose...
This album is a classic. I wish the guys would mend fences. The world needs the FoW now more than ever. "Melancholy Comes like a Robin at Your Window" - Beautiful.
2:27 And the traffic goes 'round and 'round, Swallowing the road and spitting out clouds, And the spirit she hides on a damp path of moss and stone From a fear we are born with and never outgrow
It was written by a large group, of which I am a member. Like most good constitutions, it is open to interpretation. I am a very big fan of FoW and hold them to a high standard.
It so perfectly evokes the existential angst of late twentieth century suburban upbringing, and the way our hearts are broken, first by our potential partners, then the kids, and then the suits, as they take everything that can't be nailed down for themselves, including our souls if we let them.
I can imagine Chris feeling upset.irritated about the way things are going. Adam seemed like a lefty, but more in a get-along kind of way. Sort of like the way Jimmy Fallon seems agnostic on the way the world is in general.
5- Hello! I’m Angie and I know is a lot to ask but could please check out my cover on my channel? My dream is to become a singer please help me to come true my dream, I’ll be Grateful.

Right when I heard "Campfire Song" this immediately went through my head. C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG IF YOU DON'T THINK WE CAN SING IT FASTER THEN YOU'RE WRONG. You all know the words
I listen to Skrillex, Nero, and Muse but I always come back to Fountains of Wayne. I guess you could say that I listen to other music between FoW albums :P I saw them at Irving Plaza in NY. They still got it - and so does James Iha!

that was actually a great edit, IMO. He mouths something similar to the refrain, then hold up the 'OK' sign at down beat at a perfect moment. If you found FoW via Stacy's Mom, it's ok. I highly encourage more detailed listens, as the track that lead you here is not even close to their best work . . . again IMO.
@THENEWNEWBLACK I have a narrative in my head but it's probably too cliched to work as a video. I nearly always favor my own imagined story over anything in a video though.
Great song. Lousy video. Where's the narrative? Either lip sync a performance or tell a story. Don't do the former and then just insert video of anything you have in the bin. Oh look, here's some traffic!

Chris outdid himself with this one.

@@MrFlaminglemon Pretty sure this one is Chris's song. They both wrote a lot of great stuff!
"Melancholy comes like a robin at your window"- holy crap what a great lyric!
There's such an uncompliated joy to this band. As good today as it was back then xxx
RIP adam.....my heart just broke on this cold grey morning 😪
RIP, Adam Schlesinger. :(
I was hoping I'd be to hear this live once more.
Something definitely broke my heart :'-( I was looking forward to listening to their music all summer and dreaming of a reunion - not all dreams come true I suppose...
Rip Adam... I loved FofW in Hs, now I’m coming back :)
This and The Summer Place will be with me forever.
This album is a classic. I wish the guys would mend fences. The world needs the FoW now more than ever.
"Melancholy Comes like a Robin at Your Window" - Beautiful.
These lyrics. This music. Undeniably brilliant.
Can’t believe how amazing this song still sounds. Sky Full of Holes was their masterpiece for me.
As always, Collingwood's phrasing is exquisite..
These guys honestly have some of the best lyrics I know in music - they say so much even when you don't know what...
Ive been jamming for over 30 years and these guys are everything I ever wanted to be.... the lyircs to every song are pure genius and the tunes rock!
RIP Adam Schlesinger. 52 years old. Covid-19. April 2020.
Far too young.
This álbum must be in Spotify!! Please!!
FOW keep getting better and better. Sky Full of Holes is superb.
I became addicted to FoW about 3 years ago. I believe their songwriting is as good as, dare I say, if not better than, Lennon & McCartney.
One of the greatest bands ever!!
One of their best songs I think. I think all their songs are best.
I never heard of this band. So much good stuff out there that doesn't break into pop radio. I had to look up Adam Schlesinger on the day of his death.
My son introduced me to FOW. I was looking for the Beatles..Quite satisfied
you have a good son
Try Oasis if you're lookin' a Beatles kick.
roller325 Oasis are my favourite band
I love The Beatles they are my fav
A few months ago I turned to my 23yo daughter and said: "I need the Fountains of Wayne to get back together".
welp i guess they cant now
Action Hero is a must listen as well. Fountains of wayne forever!
This makes me feel so alive :)
gonna miss FoW :'(
A robin came to our window the other day - first time it has ever happened. Then today I hear that Adam Schlesinger has died. Man , 2020 sucks.
Probably my favorite band... FOW
2:27 And the traffic goes 'round and 'round,
Swallowing the road and spitting out clouds,
And the spirit she hides on a damp path of moss and stone
From a fear we are born with and never outgrow
One of my favorite songs off SFOH!
Rest in Peace Adam! :'(
It was written by a large group, of which I am a member. Like most good constitutions, it is open to interpretation.
I am a very big fan of FoW and hold them to a high standard.
I never got to see them live......dammit. FOW forever.
I like your music
Rest in Peace!!!
These guys are so fkn GREAT.
Been a year since we lost him. ♡
Brilliant band brilliant song..
Chris and Adam are such a damn good songwriting duo.
It so perfectly evokes the existential angst of late twentieth century suburban upbringing, and the way our hearts are broken, first by our potential partners, then the kids, and then the suits, as they take everything that can't be nailed down for themselves, including our souls if we let them.
Great Band!! Love your Songs!! Dont give up!
Love it .... the entire album is GREAT !!! You haven't lost anything, except maybe some hair.
Next to Mexican wine this is my favorite song
Yes. Damn these guys are great.
We just saw Fountains last Thursday at the Troubadore, and THEY ROCKED.
Seriously, if you guys can make it to one of their shows DO IT :D
RIP Adam.
Miss you a lot Adam you would be disappointed in he way the world is right now
I can imagine Chris feeling upset.irritated about the way things are going. Adam seemed like a lefty, but more in a get-along kind of way. Sort of like the way Jimmy Fallon seems agnostic on the way the world is in general.
I love these band!

+Angie Medina Thanks for the dumb spam
No one writes catchy pop tunes like these guys.
icm65 pop? FOW rock songs
Want to cry it was Adam Schlesinger who broke my heart
I'd cry too - love that brilliant man
He just died of Corona virus
They keep getting better. How is this possible? I love "A Dip in the Ocean" maybe even more.
"Alguém vai partir seu coração."
Staring at the sun
with no pants on
high round and rosy
she thinks she knows me
fighting off a cold
murdering a campfire song
Spitting in the wind
from out a fast train
or on a causeway
trying to catch a bus
swear I gotta move
suffering the radio crime
so whistle in the sweet pine trees
the imaginary airport breeze
it flickers and flows
fans fires in the road and
all we want to do is go home
Someone's gonna break your heart
one cold gray morning
but she sings:
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa-oh
Should we take this town?
Do we want to
tear the whole thing down
paint the rubble all
tangerine
shimmer in the gas main fires
We don't promise and we tell no lies
learn to paddle when the waters rise
melancholy comes
like the robin at your window
whistle in the sweet pine trees
the imaginary airport breeze
it flickers and flows
fans fires in the road and
all we want to do is go home
Someone's gonna break your heart
one cold gray morning
the kids sing:
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa-oh
And the traffic goes round and round
swallowing the road and spitting out clouds
and the spirit she hides
on a damp path of moss and stone
from a fear we are born with and never outgrow
And what else you can keep
your American cash and smile
and the suits sing:
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh (Someone's gonna break your heart
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa
oh-oh-oh-oh (Someone's gonna break your heart
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa
oh-oh-oh-oh (Someone's gonna break your heart
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
whoa-whoa
oh-oh-whoa
oh-oh-whoa
It rocks
So sad...Adam Schlesinger RiP🎶❤️😎
This video deserved more likes
Catchy, it's easy to overlook how good the lyrics are.
great job guys! another great tune!! my band ends almost every concert we play with stacy's mom and we cover sink to the bottom often!!
I'm glad i came here, Good music!
ultimate summer song.
Yeah. They broke my heart. That's who.
I have no idea what this song is about but I love it.
FOW I am italian and I love them so much. I even had to buy a Tshirt. I need to buy one more....
what design is it and where did you get it?
@@ZenJuddhism you can get them here : fountainsofwayne.com/home/
amazing song... story of my life lol
Right when I heard "Campfire Song" this immediately went through my head. C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG IF YOU DON'T THINK WE CAN SING IT FASTER THEN YOU'RE WRONG. You all know the words
nice to hear you agian !!!!
Awesome song, great vid, GO BUY SKY FULL OF HOLES!
Love this song here it all the time at my work (Jack in the box)
i do that every morning!
back again!? cool it kinda makes it up for TAI
Nano-mugen compilation 2012
Praying for Adam! 🙏
Looks like FOW had fun visiting Chicago. Anybody know what music venue the performance footage came from?
Why is this not available on Spotify?
Fucking love this tune
Are you the one who wrote the Music Video Constitution?
we're called The Anchors btw you should listen to us on facebook!
I listen to Skrillex, Nero, and Muse but I always come back to Fountains of Wayne. I guess you could say that I listen to other music between FoW albums :P I saw them at Irving Plaza in NY. They still got it - and so does James Iha!
Was that stacy? :o
Why is this song unavailable at spotify?
@gazingintothesea
Indeed, they broke the golden rules of musicvideomaking. Defend our dogma strong and proud zealous defender!
its too bad this bad broke up now?
coo
I don't know the band. someone mentioned Stacie's mom and then I decided to check out a few other songs. I bet the drummer would like to make an edit at 1:02 hunh?
that was actually a great edit, IMO. He mouths something similar to the refrain, then hold up the 'OK' sign at down beat at a perfect moment. If you found FoW via Stacy's Mom, it's ok. I highly encourage more detailed listens, as the track that lead you here is not even close to their best work . . . again IMO.
To be honest, this song reminds me of playing minecraft back in 2012 lmao. Back when everything felt NORMAL.
WAS THAT STACY AND HER MOM? :O :O
Who is the girl in the video?
Panky Nr1.
ご冥福をお祈りします。
ありがとうございました。
@THENEWNEWBLACK I have a narrative in my head but it's probably too cliched to work as a video. I nearly always favor my own imagined story over anything in a video though.
My least favorite FOW album, though still has some real gems including this song.
that is what we got now that stacy's mom is an old lady
And her mom? :p
Who would stare at the sun with no pants on?
Only those who dare!
Ever tried shrooms?
Me
Pure talent ❤💯subscription chanel thank ❤💯🙏💕
Im sorry, my possessive asshole keep's growing hair on his face.
Great song. Lousy video. Where's the narrative? Either lip sync a performance or tell a story. Don't do the former and then just insert video of anything you have in the bin. Oh look, here's some traffic!
