Dear and the Headlights - Sweet Talk

[JimmyChiffels]

Hipsters UNITE! BLAME THE MAINSTREAM!

[waterthegrass]

if your idea of a good song not being a "hit" is sad, then you've got some weird mainstream issues

[colbysheaclonts]

Oh shut up, you know its every bands dream to become famous.

Besides, he's not saying the song is bad he's saying had they been properly represented the been would have benefited more.

[Chrysyn]

Though most of you won't believe me, the drummer is my Uncle Mark! Really he is! He 1 out of 5 siblings. My dad is Erik, the middle brother. If you ever met him in person, my uncle I mean, he is awesome! If you see them is concert, if they are continuing I mean, then try saying hi to the drummer! Love you Uncle Mark!!

[BleedingHeartLove219]

The first few times I had heard this song I had no idea what they were saying, when I finally figured it out. . .I realized what an amazing band this is!

[IVleaveitallVI]

I love them so much <3

[Sakarazu3563]

Anyone got chords/tabs for this song?

[JapJapJapluanda]

1:55 overshot the landing.

[xSteezyTaco]

These Commercials Are Killing Me. :'I

[TippedCowpat]

Why wasn't this song huge?

[Lateralus347]

@TippedCowpat Because their haircuts aren't swoopy enough.

[Aturnipxlovesxyou]

Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, Dear and the Headlights, and Death Cab for Cutie.<3

[FFAPossum]

I<3 how its the good version with that gorgeous rift towards the end

[killthecoolkidss]

Love it. <3

[xxxllamaturtlexxx]

Such a shame the band fell apart. They were so much better than some many other people, and people like rebecca black got famous for how bad she was? Bullshit

[FerraretionGx]

@metalhero000 xD lolololol pure emotion

[juniorg928]

this song is amazing of course

[superbond2]

Fuck, what a song. Just great.

[danielbattersby]

These guys are unreal

[Lateralus347]

love this band

[PurpleDice622]

....isnt it deer?

[LordCatfish]

@PurpleDice622 No.

[LordCatfish]

@PurpleDice622 sory, didn't mean to thumbs up your comment.

[jesreeves]

@PurpleDice622 it's not supposed to be like the animal

[RelapseGuitarer]

@HalflifeDream it's just cuz they dont sign with a major label. which is good for them in most cases

[Vman27]

There is a different version to this song that is way better.

[RANAE30]

@Vman27 Like a live version or a cover? I've heard some pretty good live versions but the sound quality gets in the way.

[Vman27]

No it's a studio version. It has more energy and I think the sound quality is even better.

[lfcrule2]

@Vman27 Here: watch?v=VLpAduBDXxo

[RANAE30]

@Vman27 Oh that's awesome hopefully I'll hear it sometime.

[cretinhop25]

wow cooool

[angelicaorh]

woop

[peacenlove637]

I wish Ian was my boyfriend :D I love him<33

[sandigoman567]

this song is amazing the vid is amazing this band is amazing!!!!!!

[CountingTheRaindrops]

they are great!!! :)

[dannypoissant]

This is like their worst song and it's still amazing. Love this band

[TVFMG365]

I LOVE DATH :] I have this CD signed by all the band members :D i met the lead singer at a concert where they played before Jimmy Eat World.

[Halcyon806]

@TVFMG365

I saw them at a similar concert, it was in Springfield MO, yeah they were pretty cool.

[ZeppelinFan122]

One of the best bands to never hit the radio. \m/ ^_^

[Jussden1015]

Always loved this song and always will...proves a great point

[TheBadreception]

My new favorite band.

[man833]

i love the way this song is constructed, the love/hate thing. It feels very bipolar like !!! It is one of the rare tracks i took time to learn the lyrics, i love to sing along

[ducci317]

@man833

[ducci317]

ducci317: it's one of those rare songs that is very catchy and at the same time very good

[MacaronLOL]

I believe this song about a million different guys' situation in their love life. SERIOUSLY. That's why I love it so much.

[Valles075]

Oh and I forgot to say run in the front is an awesome song too.

[Valles075]

I really like this band. I like this slower version of this song too. Don't know much about them but I love the singers style and the emotion he puts in his performance and voice.

[favio14]

Sigh...it is sad...with the right representation, this song could have been a hit..

[chicalatina665]

@favio14 I actually love the fact that this didn't turn into a hit. Dear and the Headlights is a band that's way bigger than the hit lists that are around.

[favio14]

Yeah...but they are sending a message that goes through lots of guys heads...

it makes me think a bit...

a bit melancholic...

siiiiiigh...

they are a great band, though :3

[chicalatina665]

@favio14 True about the guys part, I'm not a guy so I didn't think of that. But I guess it's a good song to pass on to guy friends. (:

And damn right, this band is amazing.

[favio14]

yeah,

don't take it personal personal honey ;)

[AdamXXll]

@favio14 who says it can't still be a hit, but i see what you guys are saying. POP artists don't even write their own shit, and nowadays they hardly even sing it. it's all about the image for the pop market

[RelapseGuitarer]

Really? like the representation of a major label? I love this band too much to have them be sucked in to a degrading and insulting 360 degree contract deal that any major label would force upon them. then that same label would make them produce an almost double Platinum album before even breaking even on sales. rinse and repeat for 4 maybe 5 entire albums. where they receive 64 cents maximum from each record they sell. please don't ever speak again. This Song IS a hit.

[favio14]

@RelapseGuitarer No, more like, the opportunity to travel further.. to make better music and share it with more people.

[RelapseGuitarer]

@favio14 Yeah i remember my first beer.

[RelapseGuitarer]

@favio14 Really? like the representation of a major label?

[BloodRedBullets]

@RelapseGuitarer dude take a fuckin chill pill its a fuckin song

[NakedDave2010]

@favio14 Im glad it wasnt :) these guys hold a place in my heart just they way they are:) If You got a chance to read their letter to the fans written by the bassist you would love these guys so much more... They choose lives of modesty instead of becoming bigtime sellout artist.. They were offered a huge contract and turned it down because in his words" We got together just as friends wanting to make music for fun, Money would complicate things and couldnt take a chance of lossing the magic" :)

[isaloKverdp2]

m la rekomendaroon jaja :)

[SKAMANDO]

This kind of reminds me of The Early November in a way.

[soupdz28]

really? I don't see it

[sopheeyaa]

the tambourine player is insane!

[insanepony]

i have a version of this song that's got more of a punk feel. I think it's better than this version even though it's not recorded as well... i still think this one is good, but i think they should've kept the intensity of the other one- or at least picked up the tempo on this one it's all slow... :(

[renZenKuKen]

interesting they made a vid on this one, this is the only song i dont like from their album

[jiniton]

@renZenKuKen r u kidding.this is one of their best songs.

[necromagyck]

these guys are so awesome live too

[zizzix08]

I agree. I actually discovered them at Warped this year. I really enjoyed it.

[numbkid]

the stupidity of people never ceases to disgust me: a kickass band like this should deserve more attention.

[SaveDreamdrain]

Wish these guys could of got bigger :(

Btw it's not about his mom!

[ElTriple7]

indie music is tight :)

[redkdrum]

sweet song

[redbatshoes]

met these guys at warped tour kinda bummed because there was only like 5 people in line to meet them. but the guys are all really cool

[xPlayxEvansxPlayx]

they just arent over rated like the other physco babel that every other band plays so no one is intellegent enough to listen to or so intrest in something this great and different

[TheRussianCommando]

These guys are Fuckn aces live.

[koigecko]

kinda like the wombats. i like it. :)

[xPlayxEvansxPlayx]

kinda?

[theshadowskiss]

this band should be way bigger than they are. i fucking love them

[peacenlove637]

Ian's voice makes my heart flutter :]

[famoussherbondy]

love 'em

[peacenlove637]

FUCKING amazing. Saw them on the 5th. and they were so kick ass. I jumped up on stage before leaving and hugged Ian. I was all giddy when he said hello to me.

[ILUVANTH0NYP]

they are fantastic! :D

i have their new cd<3

but i liked this one better.

[PromisedMilk]

seems like the guy is reminiscing about the girl he's feeling and that she has a new boyfriend. the chorus, "i bet he likes you more than he likes me" is just taking a duh statement and turning it into a great lyric.

my take, anyway

[josegui]

my friend told me its about the singers mom getting a new boyfriend

i thought that was kinda neat

[giai0z]

That makes the "I'm the former one, he's the latter one" line creepy.

[josegui]

thats just what i heard

[ericschoon]

anyone know what hes talking about in this song?

[thetophun8r]

goodness i love this song.

Totally reminds me of an ex, cuz she gave me the Cd with this song on it.

[AttackOfTheBrandon]

kinda looks like a heavier version of ben affleck in extract! ahahaha

[peacenlove637]

I love them SO damn much. <33

I listen to them everyday.

[justinDISASTER]

asciiguy283 I completely agree with you on the underground part. It seems like the music producers today are either completely for rap or really suckish bands (not to point any fingers but... Buckcherry after Crazy Bitch got old). Let some of us actual music listeners in for a day and see what we do to the industry.

[miranniebananie]

i adore this band and especially this song cause its a definate thing that we all will experience and it is so artfully, yet simply expressed.

[bellerz4295]

Amazinggggg (:

[WafflitoTheWaffle]

haha that looks like fun in the music vid.

[krispy1391]

amazing song omg

[asciiguy283]

I went to see Motion City Soundtrack back in September. Margot and the Nuclear So and So's were supposed to open. Instead, these guys did at last minute. Their set was better than Motion City's. And I love Motion City. These guys are for real. Its a shame we are stuck listening to shit like Lady Gaga on the radio, while real talented artists like this are stuck underground. Maybe some day things will change. Anyway, keep rocking guys. Awesome stuff.

[Zebraboar]

kick ass story

[lfcrule2]

@asciiguy283 People are speculating that the mainstream music industry is gonna crash and be no more within a few months seeing as they are loosing so much to piracy...This will see the birth of artists self releasing music more. Hopefully this will cut out all the mainstream top 40 cycle we are stuck with now, and actually give artists like this band a chance to succeed.

[172196aml]

@asciiguy283 i saw them two years ago they were opening for paramore and jimmy eats world

[compyvirus]

@172196aml DUUUUDE!!! I WAS AT THAT CONCERT!! It was in utah so I dont know if you were at that specific show... :)

[pookie061197]

@asciiguy283 you saw motion city soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!!! your sooooooooooo lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OmGxiTzxChRiS]

@asciiguy283 You know what's also a shame? When people like underground stuff and say that they 'deserve success' and shit like that and then they get really mad when people start to know about them and get more well known. =/

[gonoles9398]

lol. metalhero ur rite. that guy DOES look like hes having fun!

[metalhero000]

whoa that dude haven fun at 1:37

[hardlyasmile]

lmfaooo, i know righhtt :P

[ShShShShara]

A little TOO much XP

[pollutance]

hahahahah

[RANAE30]

@metalhero000 HAHAHA Thanks for opinting that out.

[warrencampbell]

Sweet bassline.

[shadowclothingrider]

[gileschickering]

Hey, thanks for playing this today at Warped Tour in Hartford. You guys were really awesome.

[latinohomiejo071593]

Guitarist/back up vocalist looks straight up like Chris Pontius.

Amazing band

[elimenohpee182]

haha yeah he really does.

[sasorisenpu]

i saw them in san antonio !!!!! the lead singer got a hair-cut

[PotatoDonki]

I love this song.

[gahlex]

"won't take it personal personal." :O

[leniss33]

ims eeing them soon im so excided! the band just needs a makeover=]

[EGomezPatrol]

At least they aren't as trendy as those other faggy, mainstream bands.

[latinohomiejo071593]

Yeah, I love how they're popish, but they're not the shitty pop punk that reigns over our mainstream nowadays.

I mean pop as in like, The Lemonheads

[EGomezPatrol]

It's more indie to me. But, I can see what you're saying. This is really their only good song, though. The rest is kind of samey.

[leniss33]

that is very very true

[boredohsobored]

I love these guys.. I saw them the other day and their energy is amazing.

[veggietacos]

Awesome song to play in Rock Band! Loving the video!

[DinosaursWillDie999]

i like alot...they look drunk thow right?

[koolkari08]

I saw them yesterday and they were amazing! :)

I love this song. <3

[cxtchphrxse]

amazing.

[lollipop8D]

Awsome bass :)

[ijustgotmydeanwings]

this fucking sucks... y would they put it on rockband

[Motherload3000]

You fucking suck.

Its on rockband cause its fucking awesome. If you dont like it then dont buy it dumbass, and stop bitching about it.

[giai0z]

Because it's nice to have a decent song on Rock Band once in a while.

[ijustgotmydeanwings]

i would of rather had saosin or attack attack on there instead, but thats just me

[giai0z]

Well, it is nice to have your own opinion.

[skott1090]

just saw um yesterday and i never heard of them they were good the singers very spastic on stage lol

[budahgirl9110]

heyy! im going to see them tomorrow! could u tell me pleaaaaaaaase pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase at what time did they play when u saw them?

[skott1090]

your going to have to look at the blow up sign i dont remeber but i think this is a little late sry

[badofcheese]

I like the first album much better. Bar talk about it's a pretty disappointing follow-up :(

[taylor1129611]

this is a rock band bassist dream song!! =) "s1ckh4nds bass" is gonna shred this song's azz!! =)

[theaals]

I wasn't really planning on buying any of this Warped Tour pack for Rock Band because I don't like Thrice or The Devil Wears Prada but this song is awesome.

[usedangel000]

Anyone on Equal Visions records is good.

post or present.

[wanduz]

Sweet, some ´96 style EMO!

[FDAMY]

I'm not gonna lie, this in Rock Band = Win

[Brendabum]

[theDeAdIsRiSiNg666]

THIS TDWP AND THRICE = WIN DUDE :)

[firebreather93]

omg want

[whois14116]

heh the tele guitarists little shenanigans lost him cool points, he almost is off time

[Belfire4]

lol their about 9 guitar sweeps away from mathcore

[MaxDrummr1]

They're not even close to being mathcore.

[Blackbarticus]

Look up the actual definition to mathcore. No sweeps required. Tool could be considered mathcore for most of their songs.

[tatenaldo7]

I was told that these guys were math core. wtf??

[AustinSkate325]

dose anyone know the tabs to this song for the guitar of the chords

[121kamikazi121]

it does not look like he would sing like that at all! AWSOME!!!!

[Skeeter69123]

sick song !

[ZEBRASx5]

[somefridgeman]

[Definetlykatex3]

[rockergrl09]

i remember seeing them opening up for paramore

[Ellachalmers]

LOVE them. seen them 3 times. hopefully 4 more this summer (:

[m83shoegazer]

these guys are so perfect live, and I love them to death but this video looks like it was made on a $50 dollar budget lol.

[Poxneo]

it's meant to look like that

[profchaos33]

i like the video exactly for that reason.

[kellsiexhollister]

GRIZZLY ADAMS

[Sergio5f]

their Dallas show was amazing, even they said it

[rossovg]

Last time I planned to go see these guys they were opening for Motion City Soundtrack, but I didn't find that out until about a week before the show.

[candace1194]

nice!

[bolo0uk]

This is one of my favourite songs at the moment, only found out about them because someone mentioned them to me.

Love it.

[jewridden]

my band played a show with these guys in seattle like 2 weeks ago and it was awesome. They rocked it...
