the rural alberta advantage - don`t haunt this place

[Thatoneguykid]

idk why but this reminds me of +44 but this is a great song!

[IC3M4NX]

The drummer for this band is incredible. He's a machine! He reminds me of Harvey Mason on the Headhunters album in that it sounds like a drum machine at times. Although Harvey Mason never played any beats like this. Yeesh.

[gameyguru]

This is totally a rip of Phish-Wading in the Velvet Sea. They just changed the lyrics and made it faster. Sounds good though lol

[Rundm3p]

SOUNDS LIKE A FISH SONG TO ME, ONE CALL WADING IN THE VELVET SEA...Great song. And i´m liking this band also!

[theoctoberaffair]

hey guys...I did a cover of this song yesterday you should definitely check out. RAA fucking rule!

[OhhSoBad]

@shabsove22 that's good man, good luck.

[shabsove22]

so about a year today i discovered rural Alberta advantage it was a low point on my life i was getting out of playing drums and just kind of sitting there not doing anything. After hearing this song i got emotional and made it my goal to be as good a drummer as him. It changed my life, i now play this song everyday before i start practising drums and am currently practising for an audition to try and get into a school of music. this song changed my life, and i am for ever thankful.

[ibetmycaddywill2]

@shabsove22

That story was so awesome! not being a sarcastic asshole I loved hearing it! good luck

[xmissjemx]

@shabsove22 I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. :) I wish you all the best in your life! Much love, fellow human. <3

[sskkarz]

@shabsove22

did you get into the school of music?

[shabsove22]

@sskkarz ahaha nooo my uncle had a long talk with me about how i should get a real degree before pursuing music hes a musician to so his advice was stuff i should listen to thanks for asking!

[Lucas812]

@shabsove22 wow dude. i wish the best for you.

[mattymraz]

It's strange to hear a band called the "Rural Alberta Advantage" sing anything but country.

[VW02]

@mattymraz Lol do you even know what Alberta is... Country isn't very popular here.

[halo3jocky]

@VW02 I think he was referring to the Rural part of the name, not Alberta.

[mattymraz]

@VW02 Yeah I've lived in Alberta my whole life. Are you from Alberta? You seriously don't think country is popular in this province? You must have stayed in Calgary or Edmonton your whole life. Try going to any small town during any weekend in the summer when the rodeo circuit is going and try convincing yourself that country isn't popular here.

[xmissjemx]

I love Wheezy's version more, actually. I dunno why. :) This is still amazing though.

[almostghosts]

Are you serious? They don't harmonize because it's a break up song. Two separate voices, they are apart thinking the same things. You're supposed to hear the distance between them.

[eljerez88]

yea that drummer def ripped it thumbs up

[bristolbandsdotcom]

Like the song, but the harmonies are horribly off key. I suppose you could describe it as quirky, but a bit more rehearsal is in order.

[THOSENINJAGUYS]

@bristolbandsdotcom I agree that a bit more rehersal is needed on the harmonies, but the reason they sound off is because they aren't harmonized, the notes however are in the same key. If they weren't you would know.

[ozzy90801]

@bristolbandsdotcom its supposed to sound that way

[coooliox27]

You know those songs that make you want to buy the whole album right away?

This is one of them.

[term1001]

@coooliox27 and for once the whole album isn't a load of filler songs.

[marplesl]

Please come over to UK

[stellaslove]

@marplesl They are going to be there soon... check their website. I know they are playing London on the 17th May and are going to be in Bristol and maybe a couple other places. Get a ticket if you can, I've seen them twice so far. They rock live!

[smatini]

visit germany ^^

[stellaslove]

@smatini They are playing Hamburg on 30th May

[smatini]

listen great

[shabsove22]

YES!!!!!

sorry i just learned this song on drums, i fell accomplished

[repwall]

I love this song but I hate the chorus :(

[smatini]

@repwall i like the chorus at best

[mn228]

reminds me of Stewart Copeland from the Police.....good stuff.

[deeto84]

coachella!! cant wait

[MrTietanic]

Sent by Wheezywaiter

[BJZoods]

I have listened to this song at least 10 times in a row.

[donihenny]

like drum'n'base, but better :)

[stoon0707]

I'll be you guys at Amigos on April 1st!!!!! :)

[stoon0707]

@stoon0707 * Be seeing you guys...

[viking4211]

my goal: learn to drum to this song.

[sneeuwman4]

really just awesome. I can advise ppl who like this to check out frightened rabbit.

[skellybones308]

Sheer Brillance... xoxoxo

[sungjilee]

The drums are clearly great. But the strings are also sublime. And when Amy Cole joins on the vocals, it's just about perfect.

[MsRighttoprivacy]

i lov this song!

[cristinin45]

Drummer is fucking sick.

[Nushie69]

Thumps up if Wheezy Waiter brought you here :)

[rebz2k6]

wheezy<3

[rymeswitreason]

i found this one and one red dress by someone else almost 2 years ago randomly... beautiful stuff.

[Hama8382]

Justin Bieber could not do that...lol

[DevalII]

new album coming out march 1st :D

[MacDaddyPwns]

@DevalII

can't wait =]

[Amukina1991]

@MacDaddyPwns for what?

[MacDaddyPwns]

@Amukina1991

their 2nd album to come out =D

[shabsove22]

omg...i got chills from this song

[Cobapewjiquyvlaux]

Wheezy brought me to this with his cover xD :D ILOVEIT

[LuluUndMarie]

Wonder Wonder Wonder Wonder Wonder Full.

[DAV1D1SBEAST]

i just got a boner

[uninterestingstudent]

@DAV1D1SBEAST

Well I just got TWO boners. Hows about that?

[llamaoffspring]

@Holykatzbob, yeah it's the same chord progression and there's a string part, but the string parts are different and using completely different instruments... plus the singing and vibe of the song are way way different. I hear influence, but it's not a ripoff.

[Staplester]

wheezy waiter can gtfoooo

[powerhouse250]

@Staplester no u

[powerhouse250]

i like the drums. how did wheezy find this?

[Holykatzbob]

This is a complete ripoff of Glycerine by Bush

[DrJohnsonMD]

@Holykatzbob How the fuck does this sound like Glycerine? What an idiot.

[Holykatzbob]

@DrJohnsonMD same chord progression, similar violin medley, similar lyrics/vibe, only thing substantially different is the drumming

[DrJohnsonMD]

@Holykatzbob That's not what a rip off is... If that's what ripping off is then there haven't been any original music in years.

[Holykatzbob]

@DrJohnsonMD that's true, thanks for noticing :D

[DrJohnsonMD]

@Holykatzbob <_<

[Holykatzbob]

@DrJohnsonMD :D

[cubensis4life]

@Holykatzbob "similar" sounding does not make a song a "complete ripoff", not even close

[Holykatzbob]

@cubensis4life ah forget it, I just want to point out that it's the same progression and almost the exact same violin melody and both are kinda sad, but if people will be so touchy feely over such soft words as "complete ripoff"* then it's not worth it, it's a good song anyway

*sarcasm

[porkandbeans509]

This song has ruled my life!!!

[rockoob]

and we tremble in the night for the things we're wishin' were right- because we need this oh so bad, because I need you oh so bad...

[DigestedChild]

does anyone know where i can find the lyrics to this song? ive been looking but cant find them

[M8yMouse]

@DigestedChild

you should really check out this new "google" everybody has been talking about. it's awesome...

[JoruisBjorna]

yea leader singer sound so natural thumb up!

[viking4211]

Why so few views!!??!!??!?!?!?!?!??!!!!!!­?

[Chauncenatorr]

Wheezy sent meh, <3  FTW

love this song! <3

[handybesideme]

oh god, this song is so beautiful! I try to sing it with my brother but it's nearly impossible, the second voice from the girl is very hard to sing!

[maggiebabyyy]

i'm feeling what he is saying.. i know exactly how it is to "never wanna see you again." but that "we need this oh so bad. we tremble in the night."

[euugene]

The drummer makes this song, without the drums it would be pretty ordinary, but WOW that drummer can rip

[Hama8382]

@euugene I saw them live, the drummer is unbelievably good

[fagtronx3]

@euugene idk man the vox/his voice and lyrics are pretty different and fresh. but yea drums are a big part

[Timmaigh]

New favourite song :)

[stewie144]

Jeez... tune the drums! Love the lyrics though!

[JCkido0o]

@stewie144 they are tuned?

[thetaoofken]

Searching for videos about Alberta, and I found this. Wow. This is awesome. I love it!

[yhon001]

simply, this song is amazing.

saludos desde colombia

[CP6L1]

lol i found this song on itunes on my podcast lol i've loved it ever since!!!

[Sheboobala]

not from Alberta??

[jdm1n54n3]

am pretty sure i heard it on a movie but song its pretty nice

[MrSpoogermcspooge]

wheezy's cover is better

[ybyello]

@MrSpoogermcspooge of course you'd say that because you're a sheep who only listens to what other people tell you to.

lololol what a fuckin tard.

[AHappyPony]

@ybyello wheezy;s is better

[NYGMENfan1]

@ybyello no wheezy is better and for calling someone a tard for stating a OPINION makes you a jack ass and i would love to know who is pushing this ONLY LISTEN TO WHEEZY WAITERS COVERS campaign because i havent heard anything on or about it and what sheep listens to music i have never seen a sheep with a ipod ;-)

[Timmaigh]

@NYGMENfan1

Perhaps you shouldn't state opinion as fact. Say 'I prefer wheezy's version' instead of 'Wheezy's is better'. See the difference there?

[NYGMENfan1]

@Timmaigh your right but im tired of internet trolls like u fucking with people behind a computer instead of doing something constructive your probably some weakling who is too much of a bitch in real life so you sign into youtube trying to become the bully.notice none of my sentences begin with caps that must piss u off oops i spelled u wrong shit i dit it again ;-)

[Timmaigh]

@NYGMENfan1

Woah, you sound tense. Chill out.

Weakling? I'm a 6' 2 athlete and rugby player. It's possible to be both intelligent and athletic.

In what way am I a troll or a bully? Trolls are people trying to provoke a response, which I wasn't doing; bullies try to intimidate others, which I'm not doing. I merely pointed out that your comment was misleading. I'm not correcting grammar because it's completely pointless; so no, I don't particularly care that you didn't use capitals in your post.

[NYGMENfan1]

@Timmaigh Okay im sorry but way too many people go on youtube to pick fights.If they want to fight they should just walk down the street and pick fights and not on youtube. You know how many times i have been in fights way too many mainly because i have a short fuse but thats because of where i grew up so sorry and i know it is possible to be athletic and smart i play football in college.

[kakabukkake0]

@Timmaigh acting intelligent on the internet is pointless, just trying to help, no way you're over 20 btw

[joako8448]

which is the girl's name??? it's awesome

[1TreCool]

good fast drumming !

[umadnerd]

no one gives a fuck about wheezy waiter you fucking faggots

[AirsoftinInTheHeazy]

@umadnerd my beard disproves of your cuss words.

[hookabot]

@umadnerd don't get butt hurt about it, what, you don't want people to know about this band? cry about it right, cause this is the internet, where no one gives a fuck about your opinion.

[benh9174]

good stuff :D

[avrlk18]

utterly amazing.

[SILKE0309]

Lovely

[TheFikaky]

[Bobthebobber7]

[HolyPhuckingBalls]

@Bobthebobber7: Me too.

[THEMAGICALJELLYBEAN]

They a'ight.

[killmekarebare]

very cool though

[killmekarebare]

Neutral Milk Hotel anyone?

[dwightforlife]

the voice is neutral milk hotel, the music is attack in black..

such a good mix!

[brackettWI]

@dwightforlife

you speak the truth.

[SteelxPanda]

They opened in Vancouver for Dallas Green and were freaking amazing. Never heard of them before, and to see them was amazing. I was front row right in front of the drummer, he is freaking amazing.

[sharpieismywarpaint]

The drums make me melt.

[TheKontosuburbian]

Beginning reminds me of Supa Shoppa xD

[bballgirlsl981]

sweet!

[myhandisapokemon]

i'm repeating this overand over again. its my new favourite song. thanks wheezy!

[czaghost]

its soooo good...the whole album is just leaving me mesmerized, i am in awe, i havent stopped listening to this album for 2 days so far, well ive listened to otehr things but this has been my mainstay, i cant wait to hear this on the bus when i go back to work

[KarVaster]

Hahaha, Wheezy Waiter!

[SazzieChan]

Wheezy Waiter sent me here :)

[Bassman0Nate]

WHEEZYWAITERRRRRR

[hollylollipop93]

Wheezywaiter :D

[TotallyAnnika]

[theboyv]

each component of this song congeals into something wonderful.

(and yeah - thanks wheezy!)

[youAREatHOMEbaby]

[Eldrick88]

[adderrose]

[Friends4LIfe121995]

the drumming is fantastic! i really like it and the girl voice is a really addition

[thisisakmed]

this song rules

[SummertimeHigh]

the drumming is great!

[explosivrice]

not bad.....

i actually really like it :D

[funkdamunky]

great song!

[CoOkieChris3]

wtf... i think the girls voice suits this song perfectly!!!

[LanceJohann]

omg me too!

[annyongSC]

give it up for amy cole

[DraftBeerNotMe]

Some planes depart, others never arrive.

[jackstyl714]

I second that. Prefer it without the girl.

[CanadaGradeEh]

Which is funny, 'cause usually she's the preferable singer.

[SRRNYRNYM9486]

one of my favorite indie bands

[Painful16]

wheezywaiter

[nesormusic]

This group's really got my attention: gotta love those drummins, along with everything else. Male/Female harmony breaks my dumb heart.

[ftco34]

Easily my new favorite band and song. Indie music is undoubtably the most mellifluous, artistic and daedal of all genres, and the RAA definitely are no ecception.

[bucksfan230]

this song is great and all but i just want it to be longer

[LMcL17]

then the drummer wouldn't be able to go as hard.

:)

[ekdaniel1405]

this band is so fucking awesome! theres not one song i dont like

[inwardpoet]

Looking forward to checking out more of their stuff!

[sk8erninja4life]

i was so sad when i went to log in and this song stopped! but yea i heard the first 10 or so seconds and knew this was gonna be my fav song for quite some time

[BenNarNar44]

haha lol i love this song!!!!!

[Buchsbaumy]

heard this song on the Jim Rome show, hosted by the Sklar Brothers. i searched it, addicted

[bloodycheese]

This just jams, thats it and thats all.

[supportyourgroups]

my favorite track for the last few weeks, i want to do a harder version of it with my band

[oilboy1979]

Canada has a graet indie scene! When you think we are the 2nd largest county (spatially) and we have only 30 mill as a population! We have tons of great acts, Sam roberts , mother mother , day dreams for dollars, the stills, mgmt,.... the list is too long to type! This band will go places , or at least it should!

[seyjakeforth]

mgmt are really good, but there not canadian

[Kazumaster]

I actually consider 30 mil a pretty huge amount of people o.O But then again I'm from a country of 5 mil..

[rosswirt]

goddamn beautiful song.
