Awesome band! I agree. Kevin Devine will be performing at the BIG SPILL Festival in San Antonio, Texas this March 2012! you can get your tickets online at Jive Tickets!
@numbforthought the video isn't a rip off. it's more of a parody i think. the couples look sweet but it's really quite shitty in reality for most of them.
Meaning its a stolen idea from another band....i'm just sick of all these bands coming out lately that are just so shitty wannabe hipster bs...its giving independent music a bad rep.
haha! I support this study. I often forget you tube is such a great way to let off steam sometimes...ill be shuffling through videos and be like "Oh shit! I disagree with that statement, time to piss someone off via Internets." lol
Until the day I'm able to buy this album, I'm just going to have to listen to this song over and over again on youtube. This song is amazing, and gives me goosebumps everytime. I <3 Kevin Devine.
Loved when he collaborated with the dudes in Manchester Orchestra!! MO has a new album coming out 5/10, can't wait!! Just pre ordered it. Anyone see their video for Simple Math?
I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be like First Day of My Life. It's just a much more broadly realistic version of it. There's the ideal of true love that First Day gives us, but this one is more like, this is what actually happens. Love isn't always perfect or even good.
He's kind of making fun of it lol. Kinda like saying love isn't perfect. it's quirky and silly and mismatched. people in perfect relationships are never matches made in heaven. they're people who are in love.. if that makes any sense.
@BlAkEbAdOvInAc just want you to know that i honestly think that's the best comment i've ever seen on youtube. great way of explaining it. kevin's a boss
@mymidnightmind You do realize very few ideas are original, right? I mean, chances are you ripped your comment off of someone else who made that observation first. I'm not saying that I'm right, I'm just saying there's a chance you're wrong.
Who cares if the video is a lot like the Bright Eyes video? Kevin's music is awesome, and he turned the concept into his own style. He is a true artist and I am proud to be part of such an awesome indie culture.
Maybe this video was ment to be kind of the opposite of the Bright Eyes video. You know, playing off of it and making many of the couples unhappy and disfunctional to reflect what alot of real couples are like instead of all of them being happy and perfectly content.
Agreed. Kevin is a declared admirer of Conor so I don't think this is a coincidence. And it's not just copying his concept but making it into something new, like you said.
there are similarities between the two music videos. if there weren't, why was that the first thing to come to my mind when i first saw this?
it involves couches, and couples. the only DIFFERENCE is that the couples are fighting, and kevin devine is smack dab in the middle.
but whatever. :/ this doesn't make the song any less enjoyable, and i still think the video is cute regardless of whether or not the idea for it was ripped from bright eyes.
Man can that ginger kid make a good song! lol Just playing to all my red-headed friends out there. I wanted to check out who this guy was because I'm going to Bamboozle in a few days and I saw his name on the set list. Glad I did! I'm gunna make sure to bring an extra couple of bucks to get his album if he has merch for sale at the concert
I so agree, I live in Britain so I've only just started watching Modern Family, but now I keep expecting Mitchell to start singing this song in the middle of some family crisis.
