Broken Social Scene: Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day)

[kkelem]

This is like sex on youtube -shivers- xD

[EnruaicoSputelli93]

It bring me a positive energy....



[letonelive]

Don't get high on what you create. Owe it back just steal your own <3

[socketlevel]

I think a lot of credit must be given to the Afghan wigs for this song. They were doing this in the early 90s

[ShopliftersUnite]

@socketlevel it's obviously a tribute to Pavement, hence the jangly guitars fragile vox and sound like the song is about to fall apart

[TheChicoostra]

es de mis favoritos:D

[imdagreatest4eva]

@imdagreatest4eva im not just some wanker this is for real

[shoDOHC]

@ItsAudreyBtchs I shot the video.

[Mynameisnumber5]

7 people have never walked home really late at night blasting this song in your headphones while being very high.

[Mitsuoo0]

Listening to this song, for a few minutes I can be free. 

[DAVIDVINCENTDURING]

all the subtractions made it on time, and you were there

[sammytheseal814]

Last night I was quite down and I didn't know why. Then I remembered how this song makes me feel. After blasting it (and 7/4 Shoreline) a couple of times, I was actually smiling. And still am today.

In conclusion, if you're ever blue, harness the power "Ibi", that's an iron-clad guarantee.

[shoDOHC]

@sammytheseal814 I hear you. bss has that strange effect w/o understanding exactly why. Either way its appreciated.

[AdmiralBarackbar]

I saw BSS yesterday, and this made me so happy. loudest concert ive ever been to

[eoinkickass]

@AdmiralBarackbar

I was there too! It was the best show I've been to, met Brendan Canning and Lisa Lobsinger it was too sick. Do you know what song they were playing when Kevin started the Fuck You chant??

[AdmiralBarackbar]

@eoinkickass rage against the machine?? XD killing in the name of, funniest bit of that concert

[eoinkickass]

@AdmiralBarackbar

no haha sorry my bad, like after the chant i meant haha my bad, like what they went into

[AdmiralBarackbar]

@eoinkickass not a clue, sorry

[boomblind12]

@AdmiralBarackbar I seen them december 10th 2010 ... its feb 6th and I am still smiling =) ...really.

[frunkus88]

@badabritt thats a hell of a long name for a car

[surfnsunshinekat]

pants

[twitter1971]

We saw BSS last week. It was OK. But I missed Feist & Emily. It's not the same without them. Like something's missing. It made me sad.

[beardoesnthibernate]

i said i was never coming and you were there you were there.

[coachU2]

Don't get high on what you create.

[crizackreggaeman]

@coachU2 actually if its art-art world related i would kindly disagree 

[kenisokay]

i keep reading the pavement references, and i do hear the influence in this song, but i think it's actually more similar to an afghan whigs track? is it just me?

[ragalfragle]

Is this song supposed to be written in the same vain as Pavement? Hence the name?

[honkingantalope]

on the arcade fire mix roller coaster ride its a good one.

[FilipePalha610]

Who directed this videoclip?

[Bazookajj]

This should be a Superconnected video

[CerpinTaxt1983]

from 2:50 to the end is EPIC

[XbabyshakesX]

I didn't even know there was a video for this song

*sigh* one of my faves from BSS

[DisconnectedBeauty]

I love this video!

[lessfilling]

you weren't there!

[Rahaha24]

arrrghhh its still soo sooo good ! :D :D :D

[tilhon]

I don't get the video

[jparry1984]

you don't have to

[tilhon]

haha true

[sunchild90]

whats round, blue and better than broken social scene? A. nothing

[Metoniaman]

Damn right, sunchild!!! Simply, the best band in the world.

[kittenpanda101]

@Metoniaman B. a cd of all of broken social scenes songs and the ones that will come out in the future

[dpboard]

This song was out a few months before Deerhunter's debut if I remember correctly.

[dodeiale]

@dpboard good times, those.

[guitarguy950]

this sounds soooooo much like deerhunter

[MrFOLKshitup]

no, deerhunter sounds so much like them

[YiggityYins]

@MrFOLKshitup 1st: deerhunter doesn't sound like anyone

2nd: deerhunter's a lot more experimental than BSS

awesome video tho, great song

[mrspandex3]

This song always sounds like its going to fall apart. It's right on the edge - and then it EXPLODES in the most organized and incredible music

[TheMourningKitchen]

BSS kicks ass.

[plushsnail]

i heard this song and thought "wow this sounds a lot like Pavement" - it's good that they actually name-check Pavement in the title to let people know it's meant as an homage (as opposed to a rip-off)

[lisax852]

This is one of my favorite BSS songs! Along with Almost Crimes, Stars and Sons, and Windsurfing Nation.

[EdgardoJustice]

Nice work. keep it up. rgtfdg

[RedBalls101]

Probably my favourite BSS song. I always held it up there with It's All Gonna Break, Cause=Time and Almost Crimes.

[Leojx94]

Love almost all there Songs amazing Band. My favorites are:

Almost Crimes

KC Accidental

Canada Vs. America

Major Label Debut

and some others I can't remember, lol

[humanshieldchorus]

just fuckin rocks

[poolisclosedaids]

this song can't be played loud enough

[damodicamster]

@poolisclosedaids exactly!

[boomblind12]

@poolisclosedaids my 1000 watts of surround sound wakes up t he neighbours but I don't hear the cops when they knock on the door and it still isn't loud enough I couldnt agree more..

[fjrivera71]

i like this song

[grako76]

that guy cant go to war in his y-fronts!!!!

the enemy will laugh at him....put some fickin trousers on!!!!

[Kleimeyer]

maybe .. MAYbe he was in his bunker when they suddenly got bombarded by an enemy raid and he doesn't have time to find his pants because they were thrown around the room due to his doinking of his female senior officer. or well ... at the very least he could serve as a distraction haha

[LensSpankinGoombas]

ROBBIE AND KODY!

[altochroma7]

I like how some of the musical parts actually sound reminiscent of Pavement. Especially the drums, they have that great Steve West style!

[skipsfaster]

Don't be mean now :P.

[utewbisgay]

i like this song but this video would be so much better if that asshole put on some fucking trousers it's silly and annoying

[meganthemagnificent]

Don't get so upset. You're silly and annoying for posting such a thought.

[ProjectCobalt]

I openly and strongly believe that the feeling I get in the pit of my stomach from this song is the same I would get if I were to fly under my own power.

This is the definition of uplifting composition.

[redlinedeath]

i couldnt have put it better myself. theres only a few bands that can do that to me, and except for muse, theyre all affiliated with BSS somehow.

[detlenes]

agreed, I think this song as well as "Seaglopur" by Sigur Ros and "Keen on Boys" by the Radio Dept. have similar effects. This one is more upbeat though. Good comment.

[prologues]

@ProjectCobalt i agree 100 percent. this song still gives me chills.

[darksider7140]

@ProjectCobalt I couldnt have said it better myself, def uplifting

[ArtIsNotForSale]

the day has come to belong

you been longing for too long

this is the day

you make your way

don't let anything sway you

the gates of light will open

when you stop moping

[interpol234]

this song is cool

[Kivalt]

Made of pure win.

[tisue]

i like this song

[ShilohLegend]

Favorite song off the "Broken Social Scene" album!

[bbeaup]

ditto

[curryhobo]

Amazing

[Krieg3]

Sorry for the triple post but I just went: "Oh shit, And Cause = Time!!!" LOL, that makes it seven videos. ;). Just a better way to interpret their songs though. BSS are the shit.

[Krieg3]

Stars And Sons*

[Krieg3]

Actually they have like 6 videos for YFIIP: Anthems For A Seventeen-Year-Old Girl, Pitter Patter Goes My Heart, Lover's Spit, I'm Still Your Fag, Stars And Songs, Almost Crimes.

This song is awesome.

[purplehaze1942]

Don't forget Cause = Time :]

[nanana921]

who is in the undies? this is funny

[slowhands666]

Kevin Drew

[XercesGrey]

they have three videos for two of their four albums like any other band. what the fuck are you talkin about?

[SpinBuck]

Honestly, they have a music video for each and every one of their songs.

I love it.

"Dont get high on what you created"

too late

[chacheng9774]

next time i watch this im gonna be stoned

[collaciotach]

Absolutely fantastic tune and vid

Saor Alba a latha nas fhearr

[igrewfeathers]

God, there must be a billion subliminal messages in here. Awesome song, and awesome slow version of the song if you're ever lucky enough to find it somehow.

Also, Kevin pantsless is awesome.

[likehoy8]

i've watched all the broken social scene videos in a row and i've noticed that they're not only talented musicians, but talented impressionists as all their videos are excellent and different.

[willlliw]

notice that throughout all the changes in the video the background is always the same

[armandtanzarian]

I'm watching and all I can think of is "Why is Kevin pantless?" But man is this song great.

4c00h: The entire album is meant to convey this 'jam session' feel. Like it was written a day ago and continually improv'd as the band records it in one single chaotic take.

[willlliw]

they make the best, most bizarre music videos.

[davidheadon]

this has a hell of a lot of feeling.

sometimes one feels a bit atonal yes?

[4c00h]

update: i heard them singing live and i like it better, must just be the arrangement, but the guy sings it properly live

[khosrowkhani]

"4c00h" is the only musically deaf one here, for not understanding what real music sounds like.

[4c00h]

man dont get so defensive i dont mind the song im just saying its out of pitch, now if it's meant to sound like that then so be it

and believe me, i am not musically deaf lol

[SlicingGinger]

There is soooo much more to good rock and roll than being "in tune."

[Nicki93]

no, "4c00h". you "must be musically deaf". broken social scene, along with other great musicians, is known for their off-pitch, scatty singing. it's good music. much better than some of the shit out there these days.

[navethechimp]

The main chorus is very out of pitch, regardless of the quality of song.

[4c00h]

are you people serious? that guy's way out of pitch

[freezerburn27]

I don't think Kevin Drew is actually known for being "in pitch". The song is awesome.

[4c00h]

I guess it would make more sense if I was drunk

Could imagine a bunch of intoxicated people singing this on a bus =P

[YoshimiE]

I got shot right in the back

And you were there

I said I was never coming back

And you were there you were there

I know the eyelids are under attack

'Cause you were there you were there

And if God is what they made

Cut the hands off believers

Don't get high on what you create

[JoeThePsycoRobot]

"that guys way out of pitch"

you've got your idea of music way wrong.

[4c00h]

lol dude you must be musically deaf

[Projectrez]

The Jonas Brothers? LMFAO! Dude, I am embarrassed for you!!!!

[Seedr0]

Successful troll is successful.

[Projectrez]

You are probably right.

[Kivalt]

Good to know that you are actually joking and you have good taste.

[Teutons610]

DUH!

That's what makes the song do great, so unique!

You gotta be honest... You have never heard anything like this! That's why this song is so special.

If he wasn't out of pitch this song would be like any other.

[MyPeppermint5]

i love this song so much

[joshsirjoshules]

this is one of the greatest songs ever written. thanks broken social scene!

[jeannie1]

God I love this song!!!! I also think the guy in the briefs w/jacket and hat looks hot. Wish my man would dance around like that :P

[d4rkm3th0d]

If you think thats hot then you need to come over to MY house baby... Also this song owns hardcore

[rubenxip]

ME ENCANTA ESE TEMA

[Pawl2]

yeah this is my favorite song by them.

[Lockecole38]

Pretty Weird Video. The little girl in the white dress can be creepy at times and also the girl (or was it woman?) staring at the screen. The first time I was watching this I saw the two wolves having sex. I was trying to find it again but unfortunatly I couldn't, just throwing that out there so you guys can notice it.

[IntuitiveQuantity]

The woman in the white dress is Ibi Kaslik, a writer, a friend of the band, and of Kevin, and the namesake of this song.

[shortofdaybreak7]

come to miami!

[iamthepinkylifter]

i think kevin drew really likes doing things bare-legged.

[ptk921]

what is going on at 2:43? its really hard to catch but i don't know if its two men or a man and a woman kissing.

video... so.... blurry...

[IntuitiveQuantity]

Someone else noticed the kiss.

I think it is 2 guys, based on the beards and potbellies of one.

Dunno which members though. At first I thought Kevin, because of the bare-legs, but it is too tall for him I think.

[TheAmazingTurd]

Yea.. cool video but the song is better.

[FoundingFather]

Wow! This is pure shit just like "TheAmazingTurd"! It's sick!!!!

[TheAmazingTurd]

Please educate yourself you ignorant nazi.

[Graceeeeem]

i like the video, but i dont think it does justice to the energy of the song. its blows you away live

[TheMooseOfDeath]

Agreed! Agreed with to the max!

[josh1728]

yah i agree with you both....ive seen people ball seeing this live

[thecliche]

I really like this video. Imagine how long it would take to get all the footage/edit.

[shazzantbot]

This is one of my favourite songs. It's so damn cool.
