[bouncingsouls6]

@Lolz097 aka...your life just changed forever.

[Lolz097]

@bouncingsouls6 oh yess it absolutely did! *-*

[303random]

great band!

[rancid237]

Nose quien entiende mi idioma, pero bueno, nose que caminos tomo la discografica, ahora aloja a bandas que no tienen sentido, increible que el dueño sea Mr.Brett, practicamente creo una multinacional, por suerte hay bandas geniales como THE WEAKERTHANS !

[303random]

@rancid237 llevas toda la razon

[rancid237]

I love this song. I'm scared of playing it too much. To me it was always about the end of a relationship. Melancholy. Musically, well, you can't get a better guitar sound.

[TooManyIllinois]

This band never disappoints me.

[dlwatso15]

The Weakerthans really use music to it's full potential, they are so good.

[MrXelasweet]

I grew up there in the north end but family moved away. To bad, use to be a beautiful feeling in winnipeg.

[robynskywalker]

My parents moved a lot and it always hurt. This song brings back that pain. I remember I was 14 when I first heard it, I had just moved out to the middle of nowhere, it made me cry. Love it though :)

[strangefamous123]

wtf there should be two genres good music and bad music.guess there should be one opinion too wtf well this is a beautiful song

[porterism100]

I live a block away from Main and Inkster... awesome song

[shynio]

Folks who don't understand the vid: Weakerthans hail from Winnipeg & are passionate about their hometown and the issues that face it. I am from Winnipeg & I still love the city and long for it - tho I love where I live now also. The video addresses how the quality of living in the North End district of the city is deteriorating and shows a vignette of how one person might be affected and thus affect others.

[fuzzypossum]

@shynio well said. The Weakerthans are a blessing to Canada

[pendulousphallus]

I miss being with somebody. Haven't had a proper break-up, but the realization that whatever romance was between you and somebody else has passed and that part of your life is hollow until you find a suitable replacement isn't a particularly fun one to happen upon.

Mr. Samson knows how to write shit I vibe with.

[bojanglesselgnajob]

my hometown right there. i drive a zamboni for a living, i go bowlin with my boys and my girl. I play hockey once a week. listen to, the hip and the weakerthans.............. im living the canadian dream

[bojanglesselgnajob]

my hometown right there

[bubbalouie99]

i like this song a lot but fail to understand the significance of this video; it just doesn't seem to make sense....

[extropian]

@bubbalouie99 It's basically just a working class tale. A guy gets fired from his blue collar job and has to learn to deal with it. It's a slice of life, a short story in video, or a vignette of a day in one man's life.

[IAdorePie]

This song sounds like Death Cab for Cutie.

[disastrr]

@IAdorePie I see the vocal and lyrical similarities between Samson and Gibbard. But instrumentally they're very different bands. Both are good times, though.

[1ajs]

AWW the north end :)

[BobinoGauviare]

The best part about Epitaph? They havent fallen to Vevo!!! Yay Epitaphrecords!

[interpolluter29]

Thank Epitaph for Anti-.

[cafethieves]

Great video! you can really feel the emotion and the transition as the guy loses his job.

[Elapses]

Well, I definitely think its true to the small town folk the Weakerthans are, but not my fav video by any means... Love the song tho!!!

[Anacaona1985]

@Elapses winnipeg is not a small town. small town feel maybe.

[audra226]

this suckssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssss

[StolenEyelids]

my american idol audition song

[a7xbabe5]

epitaph is a bunch of dif genres if u see all the bands they have signed there not all screamo

[causeofmyanger]

@a7xbabe5 I liked epitaph when they did the whole punk-o-rama compilations now there are only a few good bands left on the label bad religion for starters, anything that is not screamo on epitaph is ok in my book. ooh thats right they picked up alk3 great band

[Victorforu]

y is this band not screamo?

[ImCorrosive]

because they dont like making ppls ears bleed...

and want to convey a message that ppl can understand... gosh.

[rennyr00]

The videography is splendid

xo

very appreciated.

[am5395]

there should be two genres:

good music and bad music

[SnatchyToast]

at least this is better than the higher

[bobthelawy3r]

hey i like the higher XD

[akaDern]

great tune. not to sure bout the vid tho. maybe it'll grow on me.

and FYI good music is not genre specific.

I was a big fan of propagandhi and the weakerthans. i had no idea that John Samson left proagandhi to form this band until i was discussing musical influences with a friend about a year ago.

[whenstickmenattack]

Shit videos now guys.

[skatedownxbl]

wtf i subbed cause you played screamo now your playing this gay crap

[heavymentos]

They have more than just screamo you douche

[skatfree]

I'm calling this band gay untill proven wrong.

[angeldox]

[DTwinki]
