  • good shit

  • I know a lake in Mass close to Boston in Malden I beleive called lake Cornapowa my Father and I used to Walk around when I'd visit that has a church just like the one in the video. There would be snow on the ground, we would be walking the 3 mile trek with a Dunkin Donuts Coffee in hand. Thats so long ago now its like its a dream and this is just a bad dream I can't seem to shake awake from.

  • Cannot get enough of this song! Completely awesome.

  • I had never heard of Kurt until this album started getting so much press, and when I bought it, upon first listen, it sounded like a good set of demos. After repeated listening, it is one of the most solid discs to come out of the Rock Genre in the past few years. Kurt's songs are mesmerizing. I love this song, but then, it's hard to pick a favorite from "Smoke Ring For My Halo."

  • can't wait to see this guy live at koko, two weeks left. fuck yeh!

  • I love the way he says the word "horizon"

  • Everyone check out Kurt Vile's band "THE WAR ON DRUGS" They are fucking awesome

  • @mikeanthonyism Kurt Vile hasn't been in that band since 2008.

  • This is the only religious music that I don't dislike... Kurt Vile is amazing.

  • I remember the first time I heard Kurt(: He inspires me as a guitar player, writer, and person. Just had a little trip down memory lane with this song.

  • guess i'm another instant fan. this stuff is infectious.

  • Great! :)

  • @jimjamjames82 Agreed ♥♥

  • my new favorite song....

  • there are other new artists who compare favourably with sonic youth

    i think kurt is overrated actually

  • @PaganPolly I enjoy Kurt's music a lot! If anything, he needs MORE exposure than he has now. I don't really understand the widespread appeal of Sonic Youth, but I do like a few of their tunes! Sure they use alternate tunings and all that jazz... but a lot of it is just noise. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose!

  • @PaganPolly Overrated huh... Well this is the first time I heard anyone compare him to Sonic Youth. To be honest, I think Sonic Youth's overrated. Personally, I like to judge any piece of music on its own, not comparing it to others. But that's just my two cents.

  • @HankerKomo After reading PaganPolly's comments on other videos, I suspect she/he is a bit of a turd.

  • thurston is better - more original than this guy for sure

    kurt is ok but not strikingly unique like sonic youth or beck

  • @PaganPolly you are comparing the guy to sonic youth, talk about high expectations

  • I'm happy to have been introduced to him in SF for H.S.B. festival in Golden Gate Park. Great show, I"m an instant fan!

  • ..already gooone..

  • Kurt Vile will save rock n roll

  • I talked with Roy and think we need some concrete burgers and german handstands in this video

  • This song is repetitive but beautiful and goddamn catchy. I am skeptical of modern music but this album won me over.

  • i like the top comment bout putting this on and driving out towards nature. this should go down well @ Meredith Music Festival 2011. middle of the australian bush BYO, free camping non commercial. i might have to light up a few blunts during this set. thankyou aunty meredith!

  • The final touch is put the lyrics on, like a karaoke #not

  • kurt is far, far from vile

  • What a beautiful video! Song's awesome, also.

  • This is too fast

  • I just saw this guy walk by me in athens, I thought he was a college kid

  • good shit man

  • Today I'm gonna go insane for that extremley lazy man. MARRY ME KURT VILE! I fought in Nam, I'm severly obease and I make my way around in a wheelchair. Haha just kidding, i'm pretty adorable. I LOVE YOU KURT!!!!!! #1 FUCKING FAN.

  • wow this song is just so different. i freaking LOVE the guitars in this song plus his voice is so unique. just a really really good song.

  • @C815richard - I love this guy, but I wouldn't say his voice is unique. In fact, it is eerily reminiscent of Thurston Moore to me.

  • @TheScrotumTickler I agree. Most people don't know Thurston or Sonic Youth now. Kind of sad. Ironic that Kurt and Thurston are playing a festival together soon, too.

  • man, my husband sure knows how to play a mean guitar. fuck yeah 8 more days, TROUBADOUR BABY!

  • rip kurt nvr 4get

  • I often drive out of the city and towards a lake where I can be left in solitude, pop this in my car's CD player, sit on the roof and smoke. Thanks Kurt!

  • original

  • Saw him live last week. Amazing performance.

  • lloyd cole, cool!!

  • Suena genial!

  • Muito bom!

    

  • fantastic

  • Like J Mascis fronting The Go-Betweens...top shelf!

  • @KevKavanagh Good observation mate, and I agree it has that sound mix, as well as the similarities that ir2025 has mentioned with the great Lloyd Cole. Top drawer album anyway, got it on vinyl, and sounds great.

  • Awesome!

  • loving this tune its in my head a lot!!!

  • fantastic song! great hair!

  • Righteous stuff. He looks like a really cute girl in a lot of the shots too.

  • ePiC

  • SONG OF THE YEAR!!!

  • kurt vile works at my grocery store, and yet he ignores me? too cool i guess...

  • @trentigalaxy No he's probably just busy at work. I wouldn't want someone coming up to me when I was at work trying to talk to me:p

  • Lens flare overkill!!

  • this reminds me of the 90s

  • @grizzlybearwolf this reminds me so much of the 80's, this track sounds like FELT a lot, I love it

  • @pierreerichexum good call on the Felt comparison. absolutely adore that band

  • great song just in time for Easter!

  • absolutely fantastic song

  • 蘇湖的曲子!!!!!!!!!!

    讚啊啊啊啊!!!

  • i heard this song for the first time the other day on Sirius and i've been listening to Kurt Vile ever since.

  • Yeah, nice understated video. This isn't my favorite song on the album, I love Puppet To The Man and On Tour the best, but this is a surprisingly good album.

  • @danieltalsky Cool story bro

  • this album is my favorite of the year so far. this song is among the best too.

  • everything about this entire album is stunning and beautiful and perfect and i literally can't listen to anything else. kurt vile, straight genius.
