[mitchelljermaine]

made to be mellow. <3

[RcEdits]

hes a terrible singer

[MrWoweeZowee]

I'm pretty tight with this guy in the pants area

[elkinghua]

HOLLY SHIT

[GTG9075]

@elkinghua Who's Holly?

[afreijat]

i just connected with this song so perfectly just now

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

guitar tone is orgasmic

[MrTsBastardChild]

No. Sigh. Just no. And I LOVE the album version despite the fact that his singing is terrible. 

[SebastianAndMilo]

Yeah, his voice sucks but it fits their music.

[yrureadingthisname]

The guitar sounds breathtaking. The singing is humble, yet very becoming. The arrangement, beautiful. This made me happy.

[timeofthehero]

@yrureadingthisname Yeah i know! it's so sick! My band is covering this song live soon. We're making it spacey too. I think it'll be fun

[catseatingclouds]

i'm confused.

[theman627]

Is this a joke? His singing is horrible and flat. Plus his strumming is off, and those two high notes he plays are way out of tune. What a horrible horrible song.

[sonorpaiste702]

@theman627 Dissonant=/=out of tune.

[aiyobro]

good job

[lisamp7]

For reeeaaaalllll? I can't figure out why so many people like these guys. I keep seeing horrible video after horrible video of them

[felcho]

if you listen to the album it sounds nothing like slowdive.

[ADOPTmeBITCH]

nice

[Krumb2]

I absolutely love youtube comments lol BRING THE RAGE

[cmatthews926]

amazing. Anyone know what effects?

[damecriptonita]

@cmatthews926 hmmm let me guess... Delay, for sure. Some chorus, octave and reverb? Anyone knows a better than me?

[cmatthews926]

@damecriptonita cool, thanks!

[chelseaWave]

in love with this band.

[Redrum267]

This is a bottomless copy of Slowdive. Terrible. Slowdive was during the 90's, let's leave it like that. Can we make something more original please? Thank you.

[thejokermakeup]

Japandroids is a really originial and unique band, but this song is even more unique, its simple but still says so much.

[Redrum267]

@thejokermakeup No they are not. He sounds like shit...his voice sucks.

[mets6891]

@Redrum267

everyone's entitled to their own opinion douchebag. this happens to be thejokermakeup's opinion

[Redrum267]

@mets6891 And you must be the lawyer of comments? LMAO! Your a fucking wanker. Get the fuck outta here.

[mets6891]

@Redrum267 i think you're outnumbered here, bro. everyone else is diggin this band so i suggest you "get the fuck outta here". normally i don't argue over the internet with pussies like yourself but for some reason you're making me especially angry. music is subjective dude, not everyone views it in the same way. take your opinion elsewhere and go listen to some slowdive or whatever that shit is

[Redrum267]

@mets6891 LOL!!! outnumbered? oh i know, by a bunch of naive, collection of ridiculous "hipsters" lol who know nothing of shoegaze, as yourself. Do your fucking homework before talking all that shit. lol. No, YOU go somewhere else.

[pfax]

@Redrum267 I happen to like the Japandroids but I think what Redrum is saying is that he would also like to get some of the pioneers of shoegaze to get the respect they deserve. Slowdive is a great band and you all are doing yourself a disservice by not seeing what came before to influence the Japandroids.

[Redrum267]

@pfax Someone has a brain! AMEN!

[spartanvinh]

@Redrum267 i enjoy japandroids, but Slowdive is nothing short of amazing. You should all treat yourself and check out some great early 90s bands like slowdive or pavement etc. tell your friends and get hip cred. ha

[allrain]

@Redrum267 My Bloody Valentine and Swervedriver are among my all-time favorites. AND i like Japandroids. So what?

[yamon98]

@Redrum267 dude, relax. i like Slowdive, MBV, Ride, and some other shoegaze groups, but Japandroids is a great band also. i understand that a lot of people today don't look back to the past and find groups that make today's music look like shit but that doesn't give you the right to knock one of the best groups to form since the beginning of the 21st century

[spike1608]

I can't get enough of this video. Just perfect. Amazing music outside in the summertime <3

[chainsawgirl22]

Fucking beautiful

[nothingtofear85]

Incredible.

[easylove87]

wow. great lyrics.

these guys are fucking awful.

[robcollins8D]

This is quite terrible. This is my favorite song on Post-Nothing, and definitely one of the most artful guitar songs I've ever heard, but this version is just bad. Where's the noise? Where's the fuzz?

[colemania]

lol. it was in a backyard on a sunny day. the performance fits the context perfectly.

[asifyoucn]

i think if you were gonna play it without drums, this is the way.

I think it sounds great

[thatkidyouknow1]

@robcollins8D this is amazing.

[Tampabaybama]

I'm sorry...but hes got a terrible voice. How did he make a record?

[alttakes]

Does the chord sequence remind anyone else of Mayonnaise by Smashing Pumpkins?

[DeansterTheSnow]

It reminds me of one part from Mayonnaise, but just the chord progression.

[daltoni7]

Yessir it does... Another one of my favorite songs of all time!

[ChumpJoe]

digiverb, digital delay dd-6 or 5 and a badass amp.

i think that's a twin.

[Winman9999]

a strong chorus

[rigbypa]

Are you fucking kidding me? If you think this is one of the best songs on one of the best albums of the year then I would hate to hear what the worst one sounds like. THIS IS SHIT!

[CaptainLorax]

I agree that it's my favorite song on the album.

Kinda reminds me how the best song on Bloc Party - Silent Alarm was 'Compliments' (in my opinion). It is he last song and also shoegazy. Honestly I don't care for the more upbeats tracks from Bloc Party of Japandroids :-/

[daltoni7]

Yeah, I definitely have a taste for those slower jams, like Plans on Silent Alarm...but I have to say, I do love the fast ones as well

[psychopomp88]

I don't mean the reverb..like, when he starts playing the song.

[psychopomp88]

what sort of effect is he using there?

[Hootin974]

Best song on one of the best albums so far this year.

[Loosh4]

I really like this song soo... I might go out and buy the album soo...maybe i'll catch one of their sets soo

[daesturbed]

beautiful and shoegazey...
