    • @David-sp9vd
      @David-sp9vd Před 8 lety

      +miked4309 Dunno sounds like New Romantics to me, but I guess it depends on how wide you define New Wave.

    • @David-sp9vd
      @David-sp9vd Před 8 lety

      *****
      I thought they were largely UK references I was thinking of but okay, which region again?

    • @David-sp9vd
      @David-sp9vd Před 8 lety

      But I was wrong on the New Romantic line (apparently that describe the kind of new wave in the american eyes), I was thinking that was the description for Johnny Marr like guitar that you hear from many different bands these days, by DIIV and Wild Nothing (Both Brooklyn affiliated like Sun Flower Bean) But those are american bands taking shoegaze, dreampop and okay New Wave? Then again New Wave as a genre was used to describe American bands like the Velvet Underground. But yeah, MTV changed that definition as it was only UK artists that made videos and they needed something to describe the next wave of punk.

    • @miked4309
      @miked4309 Před 8 lety

      sunflower bean has lots of sounds. this song sounds new wave to me...like flock of seagulls. but other songs sound like psychedelic 70 sounds...when i saw them some parts of songs sounded like black sabbath.
      how would you describe the wonderful band Wolf Alice? there's another complex sounding band.

    Lead singer is tall, beautiful, feminine, and "real".
    Bob Dylan makes a comeback.
    Fire. Grim Reaper. Leggings. Sparkles. Wings. Motorcycles. Shaggy blonde hair.
    Jangling guitars and soft-spoken vocals.
    All shot on vintage film.
    This has been stuck in my head for 2 weeks straight.
    Feels like I'm listening to it for the first time every time.

    You try hard to see but I am on the outside

    Act so tough, make it cool
    Don't be afraid to see It through
    But I'm not scared to take the blame
    It's not your fault and that's okay
    [Chorus]
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time

    Trying to run but I can't when it's in my head
    Should have just stayed home when I'd rather be alone instead
    You're getting old, so act your age
    It isn't fun to make the same mistakes
    Give it up, it's getting late
    Make those words, I'm not afraid
    [Chorus]
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time

    Sunflower Bean has become one of my favorite bands today. I really want to see what direction they are going to take in the next albums and I look forward to them.
