- I absolutely adore Jenny Lewis as a songwriter. I think she is incredibly talented at telling stories through her music. Late Bloomer is one of my favourite songs, it's a song my daughter and I often sing along together with. It's a beautiful story too. Are you a fan of Jenny Lewis? If not, what do you think of her after listening to this song?

Lately, my six year old son and I listen to Permission to Land together in the car…
At a pub a couple weeks ago, a man was taking requests to play instrumentally on organ - plenty of classic rock tunes in his oeuvre - my little one walked right up to him
The organist asked my kid “What would you like to hear?”
“Can you play ‘Givin up givin up givin a fuck?!’“ my little one replied with enthusiasm
I was so proud
Your six year old knows a good tune! 😂
That is so stinking cute and I have also been rocking this album with my 3 year old 😂🤘
Wait, you take your six-year-old to the pub? LOL.
@Jamie Kennedy we've gone a long way from Boston 🤣
@@northeastrebel439 wait, do I know you lol
Jenny has been one of my favourite artists right from the early Frug days of Rilo Kiley. An unbelievably talented songwriter, singer and stage presence. Thanks for this Justin!
The live version of Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney always gives me the shivers. You can hear the love and passion he had for his wife in that song. Especially towards the end when he has that incredible grate on his voice and it sounds like he's about to break. Be still my heart!
On Wings Over America. One of the best live albums ever. 🖖
I feel the same way! Great choice 👌
@@devinbullard7304 👍
@@stephenmarsh3986 yes, that's a GREAT album! Another one I forgot is Down In The Valley by Otis Redding. Every time I hear it I just have to stop what I'm doing and clutch my chest. It absolutely moves me ❤️
Maybe the best rock love song ever written.
Robert Smith's guitar playing on The Cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me makes me shiver.
Jenny Lewis is one of my top few songwriters! Thank you Justin, she deserves all the attention, just like you buddy!
Watching her perform Acid Tongue live gets me every time. Hairs stand.
A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum makes me shiver, especially that live performance in Denmark
So glad you turned your life around. You bring so much joy as a musician and a person. Thank you.
Jenny Lewis...Had a childhood crush on her after I saw the wizard. Talented and beautiful soul
Gotta love Justin’s little revealing vignettes. In this case a little dad speak.
“I’m not sure if she’s aware of the sort of sexual experimentation that the lyrics allude to…”
Never underestimate the worldliness of your children.
Too true, Richard, too true x
First time hearing Jenny Lewis. Where have I been? Thank you for sharing X What a beautiful song. I’ll be listening to Jenny on my travels next week.
PS - The Show Must Go On gives me shivers X
David Lindley passed away on March 3rd, 2023. David worked with Jackson Browne on Running on Empty.
I'm unsure if it's a shiver, but *And I Love Her So* moves me each time I hear it. Those lyrics.
Also, a couple songs written by Leonard Cohen, *Joan of Arch Live* off of Famous Blue Rain Coat by Jenifer Warners.
And, *If It Be Your Will* sung by Antony from a 2006 documentary entitled I'm Your Man
lyrics from And I Love Her So written by Don McClean.
_The book of life is brief_
_And once a page is read_
_All but love is dead_
_That is my belief_
*RIP* *_David Lindley_*
Justin you and The Darkness make the world a better place. You bring a little magic and joy to the world. You make me happy. Love you guys. Godbless
Writer by Paolo Nutini makes me shiver every time I listen to it. It's like a song about my marriage to my Ex. The false ending completely sums up our relationship. We have children together. It will never end. It's a song worth checking out. Brilliantly written. 🦋
the one song that makes me feel everything depending on what mood i’m in/ what i want to feel is ‘39 by Queen, Brian May’s vocals are just superb and i love the way his voice strains to hit the notes, unlike Freddie where it’s just so natural and powerful, so the emotion and strain in his voice makes me shiver along with the beautiful instrumentals
I’m old, so inevitably it’s the second solo from Comfortably Numb. the opening riff from I Believe… makes me grin.
I’m so happy you talked about Jenny Lewis, would love to hear your views on Rilo Kiley!
Songs that make you shiver sounds like a good new playlist. I definitely have too many to remember, but one of them would be Pavarotti's version of Nessun Dorma. Off the top of my head I'd also add Ultraviolet by U2 Bachelorette by Björk, By my side by INXS, A Night Like This by The Cure and You Know Me Too Well by Nothing But Thieves. Oh, and of course, from the Darkness' repertoire, I'd add Heart Explodes.
Just added Jenny Lewis to my Spotify. Nice one.
Never heard this before and I love it! Have heard about Jenny forever but my alt radio stations never played her. So strange because this fits into so many 90’s songs that did. Thanks again Justin for introducing me to so much great music. Your daughter has great taste too!
I have never heard this song before! Thanks for a new tune to add to my playlist! I would love to hear more songs that are meaningful to you in future videos. The suggestions and perspectives about why you love them are beautiful and give me a whole new appreciation of the songs.
Very nice video today, I didn't know about Jenny Lewis. Sounds good!
Thanks for sharing with us that personal moment with your daughter. You both are very lucky (she for having a dad like you, and you for having a daughter with such a good taste in music, among surely many other goodnesses)🥰
So very many song make me shiver and several make me cry. But you, kind sir, make me laugh. Thanks. Been through many decades of music and always up for learning about more. You're teaching me about rock and son in law is teaching me about jazz . Grew up on country....the good country. I'm perpetually working on learning mandolin. Rock on Justin and enjoy your young self.
It takes me back to 10,000 Maniacs.. very nice ✌️
One of my favourite artists, love her writing
I saw Rilo Kiley play in London back in 2004. Was a nice treat cause I want planning on seeing an concerts with there. I'm from the states.
I love that you covered this song and learned something new regarding the fear of it being too personal of a story. That's what draws me to Jenny Lewis' songs, though - the lyrics are so personal, usually very specific, yet totally relatable and remind me of a specific story in my own past.
Her voice is absolutely heavenly, too. I listen to her with my children as well, and my four-year-old daughter rated her voice "a 10 out of 10." I also totally agree this is perfect car music. We drive together and belt out her melodic lines in unison.
A few songs that give me the chills: Well I Wonder by The Smiths, So Far Away by Dire Straits, and of course Growing On Me by The Darkness!
Thanks for making my Sunday. Love you, Justin, and always look forward to your videos. 💕
Had to smile when you talked about singing this with your daughter without her really understanding the implications of the lyrics. My mom loved the Starland Vocal Band "Afternoon Delight" back in the '70's and my little brother and I would sing along in the backseat of the car without a clue as to what it was really about. It wasn't until Anchorman came out I had to laugh to myself recalling the innocence of 4 and 8 years olds singing about a little mid afternoon sexy time. 😁
Your channel has officially become my FAVORITE CZcams channel. I can’t get through the day without hearing your dry sense of humor…I friggin love you brother!! You have an amazing ear for music and are not scared to say what you think about a band or their music, I find that SO refreshing. Thanks for being real my brother!!! The Darkness RULES!!!
Fantastic episode! Listening back to this song I’m hearing Jet Boy Jet Girl (woo ooo!) by Elton Motello, and a touch of Magic Man by Heart - in those minor chords, and even Bobby Gentry vibes in that the lyrics make you do a think. Definition of a consummate artist. Fire shirt!
Father daughter sing-alongs are always cool.
Especially when daddy and daughter can both hit the high notes 🎵🎶
My daughter and I sang Free Fallin and Learning to Fly at the Tom Petty concert when she was only 10. I swear I would have been fine if I died right after 😢
Great Justin thanks for highlighting Jenny Lewis reminds me alot of the Swedish duo First Aid Kit their music gives me the shiver factor specially live. Have been checking out Jennys albums she is awesome.
Don’t go away - Oasis. Always gets me
It's a great song, loved your Patcast version too ❤️
I've never heard of her but she sounds like a dream so I'm gonna go look her up when I've finished your video 🤩💃💖
One of my old bands opened up for Jenny Lewis at a big outdoor venue in Omaha, NE some time around 2010 I think. (those days are a bit hazy) We drove 11 hours from Chicago that day to play the gig. She put on a fantastic show, super solid and enjoyable.
Holy moly! Thanks for introducing me to this - I'm terribly short of female artists in my general listening and Jenny has grabbed me firmly by the heartstrings and plucked me from this void. Chwarae teg, Mister Hawkins, with your easily humorous, intelligent and knowledgeable delivery, you may just, if you pursue a SYSLT series as part of your online missive, save music. Especially if you get yourself both a Rickenbacker 12-string and a Telecaster.
Right on. "Late Bloomer" has been a favorite since it first dropped... Great lyrics, phrasing, playing, sonics. 💜
I hadn’t heard of Jenny, but I have had this song stuck in my head ever since seeing this on your channel. Love a story telling song, and so catchy.
This kind of writing reminds me of Jewel, so of course I’ve had to dig into my collection of her stuff now. She’s brilliant too, and her songs make me feel so much. Particularly ‘Goodbye Alice in Wonderland’ and an abundance of others from various albums.
So many songs give me chills and make me shiver for various different reasons, but the one that immediately sprang to mind is “Dust to Dust” by The Civil Wars. 🥶 Cills every single time and the odd tear or two if it catches me in the wrong mood. Such a powerful and emotive song. 🥹
Thanks so much for this Justin! I've been a fan of Jenny's since the early Rilo days. This is by far my favorite song she's ever written. I've been lucky enough to see her perform it live. And It only elevated the song for me. She's one of those rare artists whose live vocals truly rival her recorded voice. This song definitely makes me shiver!! But others include Since I've Been Loving You- LZ, Silver Springs- FMac.. Other Jenny songs that makes me shiver are Little White Dove, and A Man, Me, Then Jim ❤️
Thanks for the reminder of such a great song Justin! It is itself a song that makes me shiver- and one of the finest examples of storytelling in a song. Looks like Jenny has new stuff coming out this year too- hurrah!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful song. Her voice (at times) reminds me of Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders.
What makes it a great song is the fact that a child can hear something in it without fully understanding the lyrics, plus it being a shared experience between her and her dad makes it a touchstone of her life for eternity that will evolve and make more sense as the years go by, That's a spectacularly beautiful thing.
And as for songs that make you shiver, the show must go on by queen has to be one of those, that second chorus key change gets me everytime.
The line from Wheat Kings by the Tragically Hip "A nation whispers, we always knew he'd go free" gives me the shivers. Thanks for introducing me to so much music I might have missed, Justin,
Heart explodes and Last goodbye, shivers during certain parts.
Did you say. “no, this can’t happen to me.”
Gets me every time.
Great song. Another added to my playlist. Thanks Justin😀
I’ve been getting into her a lot of the last few years and saw her in July and have never heard that song until she played it live and even at the end of the show she said something along the lines as “ tonight was great and we even got to play late bloomer which was awesome” fantastic song I just saw her a couple of weeks ago with the postal service she really is top notch but so is Justin!! I’m seeing the darkness for the first time next month !!
Like this. I have never heard Jenny Lewis before. This could almost be a Belle and Sebastian song.
Eagles “Lyin’ Eyes” is one of those shivery ones for me x
Thankyou for introducing me to this song !!❤️🔥
This made me smile. Great song. I shiver a bit when I hear Joan Armatrading sing "the Weakness in Me" and Linda Ronstadt sing songs off "Canciones Mi Padre." Also "Acadian Driftwood" by The Band... so many songs make me shiver and shake.
Fantastic episode, thanks for sharing!
I will definitely check her out...great song great story....for me Tomorrow, Wendy by Concrete Blonde gives me the shivers everytime I hear it...such a powerful song...I didn't even get what it was about for quite a few listens.....Johnette Napolitanos voice just gives me goosebumps...great song...great vid again...nice one!!!!
Thanks for introducing me to Jenny. Hope you enjoyed your time in the Scottish Highlands ❤
God Jenny Lewis is so good. My ex introduced me to her I think when this album came out.
I love Jenny Lewis, Thank you so much for dissecting this song, like you say its a really strong album. I love the opening track on the album "head underwater" it just has a beautiful feel.
Jenny Lewis i feel is a much deserves
Love a story within a song, something that relates to life. Cute that you sing it with your daughter, we love a car sing along in this house.
Yay, new Darkness songs, awesome!
Also, I hope I'll get a chance seeing you and your fellas live again in Germany.
Jenny Lewis is better than all of us!
I like her work with Rilo Kiley; "The Frug" is pop perfection. Also, she had a big role as a child in "classic" 80s video game movie "The Wizard" with Fred Savage.
Also on the CBS show Brooklyn Bridge
Cant wait to see what songs come out of the Scottish Highlands! Cheers Just!
Big love for your continued work Justin in answer to your guitar question my vote goes with the telecaster you won't go far wrong they're criminally underrated and very versatile I have acquired a few guitars in my time but the tele continues to be my go to axe
Love her Acid Tongue album! Just sublime! Chris Robinson and Elvis Costello cameos too
That's an artist I've always been fairly ambivalent about....didn't love her or hate her, just never bothered to dive in. Your passion for her art comes through and I really enjoyed how you told the story. Sold another song on iTunes today Jussy!
Never heard any of Jenny Lewis' stuff before, going to check her out! Love the sparkle on the shirt too :D
I love the clarity of her vocals and she’s a clever lyricist. It’s funny you mentioned The Smiths because that line is exactly what I think of too.
Neko Case is another one worth investigating. They’ve often played together.
Get both. You know I love jangly guitars.😊
Justin, I was wondering if you were aware of Sharon van Etton? A fairly recent discovery for me and in a similar alt rock, amazing singer and songwriter vein to Jenny Lewis. If not, I recommend "Seventeen" (a truly heartbreaking song that always makes me shiver) or Mistakes (a newer track, also excellent). Cheers!
Goose bumps a plenty with lots of songs but recently any QOTSA with a raspy Josh Homme guitar section - specifically Smooth Sailing - Justin as always you make my day and love your commitment to do this in tandem with all your other commitments ❤
Smooth Sailing by QOTSA is one sexy ass song.
One of the greatest moments in my life was when I saw her live in 2014 and I was in the front row and after she finished her song during the encore, she got on one knee, kissed my hand and walked off the stage. I'll never top that. ❤
Dust in the wind - Kansas. Always gave me the chills. One of my all time favorites. Just behind Bloodmeat by Protest the Hero 🇨🇦
Keep singing in the car with your daughter - I'm 48 and still remember singing to The Beach Boys with my dad!
Love the channel, Justin. My shiver song is “Let Me See The Light” by the late great Mike Finnigan!
Love how you ride the lightning with your epic informative show mate🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
Rock N rooooolll foreva😜
Father/daughter bonding over music is so freaking wholesome. I love this! I always associate Creedence Clearwater Revival with my dad. Good times. :)
6:15 songs that make me "shiver" ...umm, "Big Ideas" by Radiohead, the pre-"In Rainbows" version of what was later named "Nude."
Have you hears "Heads Gonna Roll"? Such great songwriting
'In A Broken Dream' by Python Lee Jackson gives me shivers again and again. Straight in with a funky beat and bass line with a distant guitar, then a bang on a few piano keys before the Hammond on the right channel comes along with that distant guitar coming right up and ripping a solo. A quick stop before Rod comes in with his fractured, gravelly up close vocal. It's textbook, it's pure heaven.
(And yes get a 12 string Ricky AND a Tele!)
Starry, starry night by Don Mclean always gives me shivers. Such beautiful meloncholy.
Many songs make me shiver....most of all "Yesterday" (Beatles) and "How can I go on" (Fredde Mercury)...
Lovely tune, yes. One that makes ME shiver would be 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'.. To my mind, the Ricky 12 strings have a bit of a weird high action for the right hand, but maybe that's just me. Justin, you are the 1st person I have ever heard pronounce Telecaster Tele CASTER as opposed to TELE caster.. Cool! Nice one Justin. Hoping inspiration flowing nicely. 🎶🌟👍
Really a nice break down. Benmont really adds a Petty-esque feel. Ok, gotta pitch you writing with my kid. He’s 20 but I think it could work. . 😊
Lightning Crashes! If it doesn't give you the shivers, there is something wrong.
Chris Rea’s “Windy Town” gives me the shivers every time with “East coast crosswind on the cold wet stone” so evocative.
I love Jenny Lewis! ❤️ My favorite album is Rabbit Fur Coat.
It's a great album... as well, "Acid Tongue" and "Voyager" 💜
Peter Gabriel Solsbury Hill the remastered version. I had to take a pilgrimage to Solsbury Hill, I love that song.
The song that makes me shiver? "Somewhere Down the Crazy River" by Robbie Robertson.
"She said, you like it now, but you'll learn to love it later."
He could have been singing the recipe for chocolate chip cookies in that voice, and it would still give me shivers.
Hazel eyes - the darkness and don’t wanna miss a thing - Aerosmith always gives me the shivers cos they both hold different meanings to me.
Get the Rickenbacker! Many years ago I bought a candy apple red one for my (now ex) husband for his 50th birthday. It had the most magical sound ever. Now I feel like listening to The Byrds....
Nice one Justin, I don’t think I’ve heard this track before and I like it. As for the last song that gave me shivers, it was “Garbage Shark” by Bent Knee. 😊
One of my early warning indicators for depression is whether or not some songs make me shiver. Come Alive by Foo Fighters is one.
I must be really f'ed then. Lots of Foo Fighters songs do that to me. Right now it's Home because of Taylor 😢
@@revwillyg6450 lots more Foo ones do to me too. The Pretender. Have you seen the version of Come Alive by the Sweet Charity Choir? It gets me in the feels every time.
Foo Fighters have been my favorite band for years, I get that feeling from many of their songs. February Stars, Walking After You, and Doll are great examples.
Hey Justin. I have a suggestion, you should reaction to the German “folk” band milky chance. I’ve been listening to them for about 6 years now and they have became my life ever sense. I’ve met the whole band and low key became friends with them all. My point is you should listen to their one hit single “stolen dance” and make a video on it. Much love from the USA ❤❤ (the darkness needs to come to Atlanta)
GREAT STUFF AND CHANNEL
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thxs for riding again Justin
AZ
I have a Rickenbacker 370/12, run through a Vox AC30 and a Fender Bassman. I use a compression pedal and a conservative amount of chorus to get that McGuinn-esque “jangle”. So very worth the money. Go with the Rickenbacker 12 string!
Song that makes me shiver: Warren Zevon - Keep me in yout heart for a while
Harry Nilsson - without you- always gets me!
Foreigner Cold as Ice. Makes me shiver.
I used to sing King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men in the car with my son on the way to school every day. That song gives me shivers now. We had pretty good harmonies too :)
The song has more of a country vibe imo. The storytelling, the instruments and the way it sounds like a record played on a 1960’s HiFi.
I have always loved the ways kids hear song lyrics. My favourite being “I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot him dead you see”…
My 4 year old son has been singing the theme tune to this channel lately but his interpretation of the lyrics is “Justin Hawkins is right again, again”. I think he’s onto something
@@emmaswinden8515 🤣😂🤣😂
Get both and all - would be awesome to see a full guitar gear and other instrument tour of yours :) Unless this has already been done an ive missed it!?
There's so many but the first that comes to mind is the guitar intro from 'From your favourite sky' by I am Kloot. Gonna have to go digging through Spotify now for the others...
A song that makes me shiver? Frosty the snow man……….☃️
