    I didn't know these people until 4 hours ago, and now, fortuitously, I shall go and see them live in Auckland in a few weeks. As a 50-year old, it warms the cockles to see younger folk do baggier clothes and jangly guitars so well.

      It’s insane. My best friend introduced me to just this song 1 and a half years ago. I loved it but I forgot about it. Nearly a year later, they were having a concert in my city and I decided to go for the first concert of my life to their band, which kind of made me listen to all 3 of their albums. And wow. This is one of the best modern bands I have heard. I hope you have a similar experience

      @@ChuckieMcHaggis It's wild to see the nineties coming back so strongly. As a milennial it's funny to see everyone I know watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Star Trek:DS9, and singing along to They Might Be Giants, as if we weren't all babies when this stuff was actually in the public consciousness. It's good to know the generation we were born into.

      This song in particular really has her Cape Breton accent showing. I've heard these guys' music before but honestly didn't know much about their background. Turns out the singer is the daughter of one of the Rankin Family members. They were HUGE back in the 90s. And the chorus maaarry me aaaarchie is just Rankin Family af. edit: Molly is John Morris Rankin's (RIP) daughter. TIL.

    Heard this song on KDVS 90.3 while driving and it was just one of those perfectly timed moments I like to call "movie soundtrack" moments. The driving speed, the volume level, the time and color of the day, the blur of what's been past on the drive, the head space, the smells, the thoughts and emotions, the vibe the universe was on that very second.. with just me.. and just like that- an ordinary moment with ordinary being. This ..is how memories are made

    I haven’t heard this song in years, and now I’m crying as my mind ties it to the last two. We never listened to this song together, but hearing this now I can only think of her.
    I broke up with her months ago, and did so because I knew it was best for me and believed it was best for her. I still believe this, and yet the pain seems no less for being the one who chose to leave.
    Although I know she cannot see it now, I believe a happiness awaits her that is far greater than what I could give. Such a gentle soul deserves no less, and I pray she finds it soon.
    Love you still, Samara.

    Just heard this song for the first time last week and was amazed how it sounded like the music of the early 90’s....🙌🏻

    I love this song, and I got to play the music video with my dad with both of us hearing and seeing the very first time just now. So amazing. I feel like we couldn't take our eyes away!!! I love this I love life!

      I agree. It sounds like the Cranberries.

      Theme song for the 90s/00s version of Riverdale on the CW we deserved but didn't get 😆

      it wouldn't have been noticed. I was around in the 90s and if it wasn't ska, grunge, rap, west coast punk, house or pop rock nobody would want to hear it.

      Probably why I liked it so much when I first heard it, such a stand out song! Personally just dont think indie music will ever be as good as it was in the UK 90's era again, the start of it all I guess.

    One of the best songs ever produced on the planet. These cats are so cool, my three-piece suit flies off of me whenever I hear it.

      It's not quite this vibe, but it's close, but I recommend Runaway Runaway and Love in Black and White by Mars Argo
