The Weakerthans - Aside

[rjberry]

Great song. Wish people wouldn't make music videos with themselves in though. It's so narcissistic.

[RogerabbitGosu]

Did it get the chorus from My dinner with Andy by Astro or did he use this song?

[ethanrox000]

i think this song is alright

[oreoh8r2006]

@ethanrox000 You seem alright, yourself, ethanrox000

[saltesc]

I love this song but every time I hear the drummer lose the beat taking on the big fill at 3:00

[bejerama]

@saltesc That's like the whole song... It's in and out. Someone needs a metronome.

[raindog904]

Relying a bit too much on alcohol and irony.

[addison217]

this video makes no sense.

[dbdamage1200]

CRAP!

[TheJayEffkay]

beauty

and im a minority too... good music - better than rap

[kmcintyre87]

i think im seeing them at edgefest this year but im not too sure if im totaly right

[Sumofthsbldismne]

@kmcintyre87 they were awesome at edgefest.

[TheDanDickson]

@kmcintyre87 yup, and they were very good. rise against was better but other than that they were the best band

[gogolplex74]

saw this band with arcade fire

[Chairsss]

Love the video, and I've NEVER said that before.

[mathieuguelph]

haha i have the same t-shirt as him! :)

[sillymoose13ish]

This is soooo SICK!

[garrxett]

found this from wedding crashers. great movie, great song.

[djdangerousfresh]

I love that you turned one of the best, saddest, Canadian punk rock songs into a sweet, gay valentine video. Good on ya, mate.

[banjobilly5]

so glad they put this song in wedding crashers at the end, perfect ending :D why is this song so good?

[Zlatanimilan]

alright this videos sweet but i feel sorry for this kid cause everyone here says "oh its made on a cheap camera... this video sucks." america, your fuckin spoiled.

[bodgertime]

the boys are from winnipeg manitoba



[iTz1993]

musiv video is really bad but i like the music his voice sounds like the guy from Placebo

[JamesRGoebel]

This is really good! :)

[VairHagina]

wait, im confused, is the guy that takes the pictures like that one dudes gay stalker or something? cause thats a bit weird...

[missbaybeeful]

i Would have Never Heard this Song If It Wasnt For Wedding Crasherss And Now i <3 Itt!

[dlwatso15]

@missbaybeeful I didnt like that movie and was throughly confused why this was in it, but this is my all time favorite song so i was like "AWW YEAH"

[Frankelfinkel]

yuck, cant stand bubblegum-punk

[CANTSTOPSTACKIN666]

@Frankelfinkel There's a big difference between "Bubblegum" and "heartfelt", brother..

[nielswolfgang]

Great song. Gay video.

[hockeyboy495]

aww yeah i get to go see these guys in febuary at the aolien hall in london

[simcoeification]

weeding crashes

[XwashburnbassplayerX]

wait wait , what he heck hapenned? 

[nielswolfgang]

I don't get it... He was...chasing a guy ? He's a homo ? Or... was that another version himself ? Good song, but the video's fucking confusing.

[FredFanGirl]

Wedding Crashers <3

[theGuze182]

weird

[Alexisonfirepewpew]

its one thing to dislike a song and video by someone already sucessfull, but who goes out of their way to click the dislike button on a video like this to a weatherthans song? 22 people are just plain ol' dicks.

[Woozler22]

@Alexisonfirepewpew 24 now so I'm raging even more :D

[JoeyMondayRefused]

this is a hauntingly beautiful song and video too

[snotbagskullfuck]

Great song, for some reason touches my heart, makes me recolect and almost wanna cry tears of joy.

brilliant :)

[mathiasbromage]

Dude, very well done. I didn't even know it was fan made until I read the comments.  Way to be.

[Woozler22]

@mathiasbromage It's Not...

[j3nyy]

great video =))

it looks like a "real" video =))

[taminosk]

This video is nice and all, but does anyone know where I can find the original music video to 'Aside'?

I know for a fact that there is one... I keep searching the interwebs and only seem to find this video.

[jojodangerfield]

i love this !!!!

[packsofwolves]

rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony

[4cien]

An astounding 22 people accidently clicked "dislike". Gotta watch the screen, folks.

[4cien]

@4cien Accidentally*

[taminosk]

@4cien not the original Aside video...

[MrDeaders]

this is played at the end of Wedding Crashers XD quality song

[kicken18]

For an amature video I though it was quite good. I mean sure, it has a lot of problems which need to be corrected, a good second version could be made, but I couldn't do better with just nothing so well done

[InnerBeautyCanada]

This was actually super awesome! Very impressed! Also, I love the facial expressions of the main character guy... for some reason I think they're awesome :oP

-Allie "Wednesdays"

[blatspanner]

awful song my god. fucking canadians.

[Woozler22]

@blatspanner Die please

[AkumuKeayo]

Wow, that was trippy. Was it himself? I didn't get a good look at his face in the end... an alright song. `_`b

[lesharam]

oh, amateur cartography, I get it! nice viddy dude.

[jimshorts868]

great song

[jimiot]

Terrified of telephones and shopping malls and knives its like John K. Samson read my fucking mind! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with him in my younger years, that and its nice to see him and the boys from Propaghandi still in touch! God I love the kickass bands from my hometown of Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada best country EVER!! EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! FTW!

[moe4show9]

what the hell is this song about

[gesichtzeigen]

about getting from here to there.

[sillymoose13ish]

epic

[TheBarroompoet]

amazing

[tmsw111]

This is a FANTASTIC fan video! Very well done guys, and thanks for sharing with us!

[jaimehoms]

me encanta esta cancion

5/5 :D

[catlover1001]

john k samson is an amazing poet.

[Perkele78]

@catlover1001

So true! love Weakerthans

[iSkateFridays]

i know theyre canadian but i cant believe many people here in the u.s. dont know who they are

[tuuu15]

@iSkateFridays toke me forever to find this song omfg.....

[tuuu15]

oh and was this on wedding crashers?

[sillymoose13ish]

yep

[fartass23]

agreed! .. i was very happy/surprised that this song was on wedding crashers ... such a great band.

[robertbarrie1963]

One of the best songs to come out of Canada in the past ten years. And a further testament to how fucked up mainstream media are....when a song like this doesn't become a hit. Thanks to the producers of the Wedding Crashers for including this in the movie.......a little recognition for a great song and band.

[pinheadskulls]

I doubt Weakerthans would want this song to be a hit. They stay on indie labels for reasons. But i definitely see what you are saying, and agree with your opinion!

[ferlongjumpcallum123]

Amazing lyrics :) X

[brianshinsaccount]

Nice vid. Does it seem like Andy Hull form Manchester Orchestra kind of imitates John Samson?

[AEGSeether]

It looks like a fan video...

A really well done fan video! :)

Good job guys.

[viciousteichou]

Kudos and congratualtions to the creator of this video as well as anyone who helped out. You had a neat idea and stuck with it.

I'm 100% impressed by the shear amount of footage you must have had to shoot to get so many angles for each couple of seconds.

I would have ditched the hoodie up/hat, but the fur around the jacket hood gave some really neat shots. Good job.

Skeleton gloves from dollarama :P

RAILROAD TRACKS. YES PLEASE.

Good job and would love to see more =) - V

[kidblink182]

Either way, this is just a great song. Glad to see someone taking the time to create a video for it.

[zeebashew]

Where was this made? LIke the town.

[Tap1000441]

Franklin MA

[CaffeineInducedDream]

This was a fan video? Wow great job!

[CANTSTOPSTACKIN666]

@Tap1000441 Amazing video. Heartfelt video to a heartfelt track. Excellent work. To the dumbasses complaining: its called D.I.Y... now go do something for YOURSELF instead of complaining.  the quality is not even bad at all.

[poopoopeepeehaha]

this is great!

[letsgomets07]

btw people that say this looks fan made and it looks awful etc, it was in wedding crashers so nough said. it owns.

[mariakbianchi]

i like the idea

[clickclong]

It is a fan, you dumb fuck.

[Cdeezsup]

I liked the video. Good job

[Tap1000441]

All these people saying it looks fan made... because it is... on a 0 dollar budget. so i mean, c'mon.

[Scootondown]

@Tap1000441

It looks good man! Good work.

[SuicidalSushio0]

@Tap1000441 that just makes it that much more amazing :)

[phatass67]

@Tap1000441 Its everything it should be, nothing less, nothing more. Just fantastic.

[Dow7969]

@Tap1000441 It's still really fucking good.

[siblings08]

and besides the video isnt even that bad

[siblings08]

who cares if the video sucks

its a kickin song

[T0talFaveL0adKid]

*PSST*

*It is.

And at least they're not trying to lip sync the entire song like EVERY TERRIBLE DCfC FAN MV.*

[peanzzz]

I'm guessing the people in the video take cock up there ass?

[rogue0567]

I have no idea what this video is about.

[Chokevsrules]

lol

[titounette13]

The voice sounds like Brian Molko! ^^

I like the song xD

[Censurex]

Yeah it's true, sounds like Brian x)

[BoysLikeGirlsxX]

I can't get enough of this song :) Love it!

[CrossYourTs]

Amazing band... very Canadian.

If you like The Weakerthans you should check out Acres of Lions....

myspace/acresoflions

[NerdSause]

that guy looks very much like an ape.

[achillesledzeppelin]

thats because he is a human..

[NerdSause]

I could call you a smart ass, but it would be a waste of time.

He looks more like other apes than a human.

How is this clarification?

[mitchychief]

How good does it suit the end of Wedding Crashers hey? It's a top quality track.

[geckogirly55]

i was watching wedding crashers and this song came on at the end credits then i really wanted to find this song !!!

[djallergik]

man i remeber hearing this song in 2002 on the Hopelessly Devoted to You Vol. 4 cd i cant belive i finnaly found it. This song rocks. ^.^

[nubhubber]

i hate winnipeg

[boostong]

greaattt song

[scion35]

ah this is my favorite song EVER!!!!

I've been looking for it for ages!!

they didn't have that second verse for wedding crashers but it's awesome!!

[alexrainbird]

from the credits of wedding crashers! :D

"and i'm leaning on this broken fence, between past and present tense..."

awesome song!

[kaitenshi11]

sweet

[Fullofills]

hi amy!

[AlluminatedGuy]

Yay Winnipeg!

[keremes]

I remember the first time I heard this song on a Hopeless records comp. Wow, they have come a ways since then.

By the way, the coats, the snow, the ice....makes me real glad i live in Florida.

[canipokeu]

Makes me real glad it allows me to snowboard.

[canadadam]

Makes me glad I can go to the outdoor rink

[hopkinsLAX34]

best fuckin song

[TheDementedbacon]

lol cool

[gtamantube]

Can you buy this song anywhere by itself without buying the whole album?

[izzyjmusic]

itunes

[leonardkondrot]

buy the shole album its worth forealz

[PashminaAfgan]

i love this song because it was on wedding crashers but was the vid like on a MAJOR budget or something like really

[leadbiscuit]

the Weakerthans are a folk indie band from Winnipeg.... lol that's poppy?? Man I got everything backwards :P

[rcris18]

i used to think they were just a gay pop band but then i actually listened to them and they have some pretty sincere songs, don't be to quick to judge, there actually an honest band... but this video is kind of gay...

[XxunknowsoulxX]

yeah /XD u right

[rcris18]

whats with the thumbs down i'm saying the band is good...

[DELnation]

you might wanted to write this comment on a new found glory videoclip.

im 27 and still listen to weakerthans..even my old dad asked me to buy left and leaving cd.

[VerseWorks]

You got the f-ing BeeGees and REO Speedwagon on your favorites list, man. I don't wanna hear it. The Weakerthans are probably the most literate band out there. Give 'em a chance and actually listen to the words.

[chickensaurusrex711]

the singer lives beside my bud and he has a giant wooden horse in his front yard? (i live in winnipeg)

[Daj4a]

Wedding crashers :)

And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and Present tense. And I'm losing all these stupid games that I swore I'd never play. And it almo

[shannojane]

cooly!!

[mikeylighter]

shits amazing

[billyNL15]

i first heard this song off of the greatest movie in the world...

wedding crashers. (:

[NothingEverything1]

thats not my type of music still love that tune. serios this should be a hit

[LivingCemetary]

hmmm

that was kinda cool

[jonestown222]

the thing bout this song is that it can connect with everyone, and anyone, i really do think its one of there best songs, might be one of ther emost played songs but prolly cus its one of the best

[joesilver72]

where can i download this in mp3 format???

[patmathis]

This is easily the greatest of all John K's songs.

I love the opening line, "Measure me in metered lines".

As a male I can REALLY connect.

I feel so boxed in as a sexual being.

Like all I am is a height, a weight, and a length.

God that's good fucking writing.

[jonestown222]

really dig what you had to say about jks a brillant song writer, and the song aside is so amazing the lyrics are brillant, all is music is amazing but aside is just wow dig the part after measure me in metererd lines, the time it takes to get from here to there, good stuff the whole song is brillant

[WeazelBox]

And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and Present tense. And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play. But it almost feels okay.

[kkomw]

terrible video. but it's an awesome song (although not weakerthans best).

[patmathis]

Crazy talk.

About the Weakerthans that is.

I'm sure the makers of this video could care less what people think of them.

But I digress.

If this ISN'T there best song, then I challenge you, good sir/ma'am, what is?

[kkomw]

haha, i love the weakerthans, and this song suites mainstream more so, that is why it was their single.. but my fav' has always been 'little picture's'.. if you don't have it, or can't find it, give me your email, i'll send it to ya. i don't think it's on any of their cd's.

[DELnation]

left and leaving song near a campfire deep in the woods XD

[theOKcorralmusic]

This sounds like "Shiver" by Motion City Soundtrack...obviously The Weakerthans did it first...but interesting.

[lawngnome81]

you may remember this from the end of the motion picture 'wedding crashers' starring christopher walken.

[wooders8]

lol that made me laugh.

[josh1986jm]

That dude creeps me out. Hey, one more question. What kind of camera did you film this with? I want a good quality camera because this is the kind of stuff I want to do. I'm gonna be on YouTube very soon. I'll just be making a fool out of myself more than likely.

[josh1986jm]

Hey Dude tell me more about this video whats the reasoning? School project, fun, bored, whats up I love this video. I think it describes my life pretty well. Your video is kick ass. Did you edit it yourself. Come on man don't leave me hanging. You need to make more music videos. Oh wait I just found more videos of yours. Laterz!

[josh1986jm]

Hey never mind I found out why. But I still think it rulez. How long did it take to film and edit this to make sense?

Damn I'm annoying when I'm drinking.

[nikno7]

such a nice video to such a great song, like that! greets from (also cold) germany .-)

[patmathis]

John K is the man, I just wish I could of seen him play with prop just once before I got to this damned advanced age of mine...

My generation sucks and I want a mulligan.

[wakingeyesband]

Check out our "Live on Albert Street" videos for more Winnipeg-centric fun.

- The Waking Eyes

[ghetto87cop87]

fantastic job on the video..the song also rules 2 great!

[BRudy87]

while the video quality isnt 100%, I think its good. great stuff, and an amazing song

[susucachoo]

I love this song.... So much. Best song in the world.

[pimpc1125]

there's no video to this song, so all you're gonna get is live vids and home made videos, so way to be a douche there.. great job =)

[baserocks4323]

Really good video, great song as well.

[PeoplesProtectorate]

Hey, great video! I didn't realize you made it until I looked back at earlier comments. Really enjoyed it, keep it up!

[Riot342]

Nice tune.The Lakai sticker there in the beginning is nice also.Rick Howard selects are the way to go.lol

[54spiritedwill54]

awesome band

[channie333]

i heard this song when i was shopping in a hollister store... {i only go in there for the music. haha} and i liked it so i wrote it down and now its on my ipod! xD

[samrulz7]

Saw them play in Victoria.

[rseymour]

Classic old school video for a contemporary song.  Awesome.

[ramloe]

I heard this son at the movie the wedding crashers, which is awsome by the way. And now I'm in love with it!

[bobb908]

omg, i was just looking through random songs... this is awesome!

[misfitspocketer]

i heard this song in the credits of wedding crashers XD lovee it

[PiNKRIZE]

same here :)

[Doozanopia]

I love that guy's voice! Such an awesome band, seriously.

[captainofwhat]

I was replying to someone's comment about most of the money from record sales going back to the label...

[Earthshine808]

Umm...no offence

But the badly executed facial expressions ruined the whole thing.

I was okay with it until the whole milk and cookie thing...it was ridiculous. And when he like gasped his face just made me laugh...next video not so many facial expressions or learn how to make them look real ^^;

I liked the rest of the video though

[BrenkorB]

well done

[lykpleasegurl]

I am in love with this song, the video, this band is just amazing<3

[911lisagibb]

U know a blind man would enjoy this video immensely. DON"T people know that it is the music and the words that make it. If U don't like the visual, then don't look. I actually thought that the passing of paper was drug and when he opened it, it was looking 4 TRUTH. Thoughtful, and I feel sorry 4 the young generations coming up trying to find out what is TRUTH. The fact is, people R co-creators with the Creator and the Creator makes a beautiful Universe that we should try to continue that beauty

[Novarocker05]

sounds good

[bojethro]

woops nevermind i accidently had it playing on itunes
