[JackOfKills101]

Wait a bloody tic, did they just really take a Buddy Holly song and absolutely make it modern and their own? Wow, respect....

[jro2498]

M. Ward is one of the most underrated artists alive. I think he likes it that way.

[sidnomis1]

@jro2498 I do, too... kinda makes it seem like it's my own little secret from the rest of the world. :)

[4staylifted20]

Too bad they don't play music like this on the radio.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

I wanna live in this world :(

[LunatikTokyo]

Love M. Ward's cover of this song!! I love both versions! This stop motion was incredibly well done and animated!

[gabicks]

I will be 100% sure that I am in love when I listen to this song, and there'll only be one person on my mind.

Actually, "Rave On" wasn't an original Buddy Holly song. It was originally written and recorded by Sonny West on the Atlantic label in the 1950s. Sounded like a jukebox sock hop song originally. Then Buddy Holly COVERED the song later the same year, I believe, and turned it into a Rock & Roll classic. Because Buddy Holly did such an amazing job with "Rave On," everybody thinks he wrote it, everybody gives him credit. But it was Sonny West, originally.

@ZeskoWhirligan Yay Wikipedia! 

[TigerAmongstMen]

This is lovely. I want to skip outside and hug everyone except I'd be arrested XD)

[PinkFloydrulez]

@TigerAmongstMen do it anyway!

[sidnomis1]

@TigerAmongstMen You, my friend, should be president. I like the way your brain works! ;)

[FireAndFlames]

Who is this Ray Vaughn guy?

[dolemiteX]

@FireAndFlames Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I hope Ray Vaughn gets royalties for this.

This is the first time I've ever though a cover was better than the original....and I love Buddy Holly.

[freewholeEtoes]

reminds me of something Lane Smith's illustrations.

I used to love The True Story of the Three Little Pigs when I was in elementary school.

Anyway, I'm in fckn love with M. Ward. He's.....god, not enough space to describe him...

you get the point

[Luciarella]

I love the song, but the video is CREEEEEEEEEEEPY

[K4rt80y]

This is a sweet cover. I dig.

[triggerhappy6]

An aural masterpiece.

[jzoom45]

beautiful song by the way...he seems to take covers and make them his own.

[dee634]

@jzoom45 three months later you repost the same thing? Obviously you like the song enough to come back to bitch about M. Ward, give it up.

[jzoom45]

[jzoom45]

are all of matt ward's songs covers? does he write his own songs?

[jerryroberto]

[newtonwat]

first time i heard this song, their songs chilled all the time? kinda reminds me of a more upbeat kinda death cab. Good song!

[wicz28]

very mucho enjoyable. M is the man on this one

[jgui12ypi]

i like how he made it his own instead of directly copying the old version

[NewYorkRangers1979]

Agreed. This was one of those where I'm glad I heard the song first cause the video could've actually killed it for me.
