Jeffrey Lewis - I Saw A Hippie Girl On 8th Ave.

[BreezySunray]

you sing like you 're sleeping. -.- Or like you 're sad =/ Nice song thouph hehee haha :DDDD <3

[whitetrashoutlaw]

Music for upper middle class wannabe bohemians eh?

[ilylac]

@whitetrashoutlaw you can ascribe whatever you want to whatever you want but that doesn't make it true? music is music is music is music.

[DRChupacabrah]

lulz, phish sucks anyway

[c0dered987]

this is a great song. its for all the trends, there cool and fun, but after about 20 or so, you get out of em. just like everyone else

[livelyarts49]

I live on 8th Avenue, and can TOTALLY relate/ great song, bro!

[BusinessButterfly]

lol*

[paintlemonsgold]

i no longer look like a punk.



[hejafish]

Proud to say I've never let my musical taste influence my clothes. mmm ... do band t-shirts count?!

[letsallmakenoise]

Just stumbled across this song. I am officially a Jeffrey Lewis fan. I have a few of my own songs on the channel if anyone cares to have a listen.

[TheOriginalJohnnyCat]

Right on braw...



[MrTakenUsername]

I fucking love this song.

[potheadpixieee]

Nom.

[mushroomagical]

Great song! Greetings from a hippie girl....

[SuicidalMarshmellow]

My youtube account wouldnt let me log in... and this song caused me to make a new just to comment <3

...I have never listened to this song before, or this artist for that matter. But this song is amazing! I feel I can relate to it, and I think it is so true ^^

[ShaneEllenburg]

I don't look much like a hippie...

[MsFanpireProductions]

Somehow this is totlly strange but totally normal. It just works.

[23themagicnumber]

If you talk like his singing people hate you.

[vansfire]

calling it for what it is! this guy is awesome

[OrsoIclaim]

I kind of really like this a lot.

I kind of really like how it doesn't rhyme at all.

[BeUnbroken]

I talk how he sings.

[xparawolfx]

sounds like the juno soundtrack gave birth to this amazing music.

[FungusMossGnosis]

@xparawolfx

Jeffrey Lewis has been making music like this over 10 years before 'Juno' came out, but...if you mean 'he's like The Moldy Peaches', sure - they're contemporaries, sure.

[MUTE8able]

Jef is an amazing artist!

[DoggyHateFire]

I just found Jeffrey Lewis a month or so ago on Pandora and I thought I would never like that anti-folk stuff.

[AspirationsAndApathy]

that was fucking amazing.

[cudas333]

why do these people take the time to find this music just so they can talk shit about it? shut the fuck up jeffery lewis is more talented than any of you

[EpicWinGuise]

I wonder if fish knows he's mentioned in this song.... i might try and bump into him.

[gagebug]

@EpicWinGuise What? you know he's talking about the band Phish right?

[PeaceMovement42]

All, I have to say is if you don't like the song don't say anything and just move on with life. :)

To be honest I love this song. :)

[Keepin1tReal1]

im srry white population but.... ...

this is SOOO fckin disgustin....

[sabsupertoll]

such talent.

..not

[TheSunmanho]

shitty song

[AveryDanger]

Holy shit. My comment on this song was from 10 months ago, and I still love it.

[pollyseyes]

amazing song!!

[NoNeedForAGoodName]

Great,got to know too really good musicians i didn't know before this eve.

Jeffrey Lewis and Kimya Dawson :)

[northkato]

jeff is the guy on the pedestal with the great song writers of all time, but nobody knows who he is.

[BehindTheSea29]

Wow, he's a damn good songwriter

[JadedAwesomeness]

this is the same tune as My Rollercoaster by Kimya Dawson. I never noticed before lol

[Swiftlygothedays]

Jeffrey Lewis gives advice like someone's mother gives advice. Meaning it has some sort of great wisdom. Except he phrases it like someone of your own generation, so it sounds more like a friend talking. And it's not his intention to give advice, but just to talk. And I love that.

"That what's important is whether you can carry on a human conversation

It's not what you wear on the outside

It's how you think and feel on the inside."

Those lines mean a lot. Thanks Mom, I mean, Jeff. And Mom :)

[MrBeavisandbutthead1]

he sounds SO enthusiastic lol

[wellendore]

I really like the way this song is writen and just the way jeffrey writes it really speaks to me and its all mellow i just love it all<3

[enjoi4ever107]

Was literally just talking about this very concept with somebody last week. Well said, Jeff. Well said.

[paxson001]

rad rad rad

[candelamigot]

great to see i'm not the only one who doesn't dress much like anything and thinks this way

[aura723]

It sounds a lot like My Rollercoaster by Kimya Dawson. Sort of like a tired, slightly confused, male, Kimya Dawson. I like it.

[blastingcaps]

Cultural identity is a scam anyway.

[brbwatchingwillow]

Explain explain explain!

[TehGuitarMan]

Music will take you places if you let it.

[brittnee17935]

this is the song i need to show the world.

[furubafanatic8910]

Wow, I love it.

Makes you think.... ^_^

[AveryDanger]

the way jeff writes songs makes me think more than any other songwriter.

[lfahrson]

And I suddenly realized I no longer looked much like a hippie.

[prufrocksong]

love his conversational tone

[hellfirebrian85]

Damn, pretty cool shit

[Enjacku]

Wow. This is a great song.

[sweetsheepo]
