I like the part with the evolution of music; records, cds, downloads. THis song is so true, like this is true music all the kids do now is listen to pop auto-tuned garbage. If Sam Roberts keeps jammin at an old age, he'll surpass Les Paul!
This song is reminds me of a quote by Neil Young..."There was real rock and roll, and then that other music your parents listened to. It's like rock and roll now is the music that our parents listened to. It's like gone."
WTF, at one point this song was radio killed (though i still liked it.) and now somehow i barely remember it... Doesn't make any sense, i remembered the intro and the chorus but its still so faint.
Love this song, love this video, and increasingly love this band... maybe after Saturday in Bobcaygeon, they'll become a strong favourite. They'll certainly put on a great show... hope to see a good chunk of the 110,457 viewers of this video there in a few days!

@MrRyanGC Apparently it doesn't fly with them that a musician can give music to people for free. They're killing the concept of being a not-for-profit musician.
I saw them play last week in Vancouver. They put on a great show and did two encores. I think I've been in love with this band since I first saw 'Brother Down'
less than 2000 views on most of his new songs . People don't know what they are missing . Colliders gunna hit it big next year at the Junos for sure . Well thats as long as AF stays quiet for a bit .
I just don't understand why the kids don't know how to dance and rock n' roll !!! that is very true SAM !!! thanks Sam for trying to recover good music again. Hope everyone can discover you guys how I did.
i love canada's indie feel we have more real artists no matter what genre with ofc the exception of justin beieber (to be fair he was never produced or done anything in canada so makes sense lol) and ofc sterios omg thye fucking suck n yet so hot n look hard such a shame
I think the reason why Sam Roberts is under-rated is because he's from Canada... Basically there's more people living in New York City than all of Canada combined. Besides we're essentially a tremendously young nation centered around construction, farming and acquiring resources; and when budget cuts need to be taken the arts seem to usually be the first to go. This seems to be why all the great Canadian artists go to the states.
@WilliamEGD There's more people living in Mumbai, India than the USA and Canada combined... there isn't really a reason as to why Canadian artists are always second in comparison to those of the USA, but I find it stupid because Canadians bring some real, new talent to the table.
I'm a huge fan of Sims 2 myself and of this guy. He should have been asked to appear on a Sims 2 or 3 expansion pack with a song in simlish. Anyway, I like the song and the video is pretty great.
I'm a kid and I can still dance to rock and roll! I can't dance to hip hop or rap or any of the other shit put out in the last decade that wasn't by Sam Roberts.
awesome song. This neighbourhood in the video reminds me of the neighbourhood I lived in when I briefly lived in Lakeland Florida...which is actually where they filmed the movie "Edward Sissorhands"
I think that song means that us young peopel do not know how life really is (by saying we dont know how to dance to rock and roll, he is saying that our "rock" isn't liek in the olden days). Just my theory
I saw him live when he was opening for Weezer in my home town...... one of the best concerts I have ever been to, I think most people were there for Sam Roberts instead of Weezer, but all in all, both of them were amazing <3
@iJess17 also cuz its rock and roll and actually filled with talent, beyonce is great and all, but there is a million women that could sing her songs, only one group of guys could make a band unique and write their own songs
i love sam roberts everything he does is as original as it gets including this video!!!!!
