Jayhawks, "Save it for a Rainy Day" | Music Video

[McSnurf]

Nice song, very "Byrds" style.

[DamnYouDamnMe]

The singer looks like a young Quadaffi.

[boat3168]

Awesome band to see in concert. Love them.

[rebryk]

temazooo....

[JohnJameson18y]

Last week a very close friend of mine died and I somehow can't stop thinking of this song, don't know why. It just came to my mind when i heard of his death.

[hafaball]

you wear too much make up jerkweed!

[Jeepgirlcj7]

I heard this playing in a small restuarant and loved it. It took me a little while to locate the song since I didn't have a title or any data. It was worth the search! I <3 this song.

[Thecrazyhide]

[AlvarovichvonGomenov]

Brilliant. <3 Jayhawks.

[trixmsj]

I didn't know Roger Staubauch was their drummer....

[CrystalRC2010]

<3 this song, although I dont fully understand the video

[HDN1956]

Great song, but the first minute with Gary singing standing in a pool is just silly.

[IoannaThinkNice]

i love this song!

[itzjoeymac]

I think it's a great vid McQueen

[itzjoeymac]

I think it's a great vid McQueen lol

[jimfath]

So does he assault her at the end of the video when the umbrella pops open?

[rinajoyification]

[luckysocks23]

NANCY!!!!!!

[GusMcAttisonMusic]

5 people live in Seattle...

[thirdtender]

mary louise parker in this vid makes it perfect...with her crooked smile...wow

[thirdtender]

sarhah jessica parker in this vid makes it perfect...with her crooked smile...wow

[vita64]

Four people are leading charmed lives and have never had to "save it for a rainy day."

[jafnhar2]

The video is fine, but Marina doesn't look like the train wreck I had always imagined.

[KurtMoss]

gary don't stop

[MrBaconTastic]

great song...

[frazzittasong]

I think the video is wonderful. It captures the sentiment of the song.

[frkaz911]

The video concept works well until the Indian stuff, then it loses me. Not sure what point they were trying to get across there. Still, a fantastic song.

[Zarkoon]

Ouch! You've got to have a few years behind you to get this video. Great song; painfully apt video.

[Wytchfinde]

Holy shit, this is bad.

[kagomeshuko]

I love the Jayhawks and love this song. The music video, I don't understand at all (Same goes for a lot of music videos.) I have my own images in my imagination . . .works SO much better!

[ZenBarracuda]

The Jayhawks + Matthew Sweet = good times

[32Rainking]

@ZenBarracuda I think Matthew Sweet helped with the album's opener, "Stumblin Through the Dark", and had nothing to do with this song at all. Purely coincidentally, you happen to be 100% right anyway, b/c I saw them both in concert together and your coment is till true, so sorry to attack your comment when I agree with it, I'm the former Xclubkid22, the Misanthropic psycho that has to correct everything, it seems now even in comments that are correct...I think I need to seek help

[ZenBarracuda]

@32Rainking Matthew Sweet recorded my favourite album (In Reverse) and The Jayhawks are one of my favourite bands. Don't worry about internal arguments. I'm pretty much conflicted over everything. At least we both know good music when we hear it.

[32Rainking]

@ZenBarracuda I've replied to, corrected, insulted, made aware of the idiocy of, berated, contradicted and even complimented literally 1,000+ youtube comments, you are the first one to beat me, as in respond with a better comment, ever. Guess it may be b/c we are both conflicted over everything & we both know good music, any well done.

[machinezeit]

I'm a new convert to the Jayhawks and I love this song. Also love Mary Louise Parker. No, not a great video, and the concept doesn't seem to match the song but its still sort of cute. I especially like MLP at the Senior center. Her performance as always is great, as is the band who are quickly becoming my favorite.

[catsgame]

i can just listen to this song on repeat. flawless harmonies, goddamn.

[frazzittasong]

One of many incredible songs by The Jayhawks and a truly charming video!

[Frysian1972]

What about the Jayhawks reunion?

Is it true, will they come to europe?

Saw them live without Mark Olson

O thought it was super, but my friend said that with Olson they even sounded better. Gary and Mark together but there I missed the rockier songs.

Love this song though in all simple beauty

[UnsilentE]

Mary-Louise PArker isn't the only drop-dead gorgeous thing about this, the song is, too. I think it's actually a winner.

[54spiritedwill54]

harmonica is awesome indeed

[pierstheoneandonly]

Curious that MLP considers this an 'horrendous video' (and feels no small amount of guilt as it was she who, as a fan of the band, recommended the director). I don't know that it is so much - at least it has a story arc and a degree of whimsical charm which seems consistent to the character portrayed in the song. Worse by far IMHO is the one she did with Charlie Mars rolling around in a clinch in his flat. The boy also looked as if he was being unfairly violated!

[fomakv]

Somebody get Gary some horned rimmed swimming goggles

[noahpiano]

the jayhawks are just fucking amazing

[speedstack23]

Never really heard of Mary Louise Parker.....

Never seen Weeds, guess i better see that.

I love her she is GORGEOUS !

Love the Jayhawks love this song !

[marty6161]

@speedstack23 She was in Fried Green Tomatoes, great movie. She was one of the leading ladies.

[MOSSIBANKS79]

great song-

[bluesboy68]

Mary Louise is SO HOT!

[nemp1980]

good band

[videostrategies]

I should just shut up.

[skinnerwc]

Agreed!

[McQueenX]

Great song. Not-so-great video.

[D1fF3ReNT]

@McQueenX Also, Taco-Puttin' on the Ritz. Great song, terrible video hahaha.

[itzjoeymac]

so sad... ;-(

[lecaiddu53]

The girl in yellow plays in Weeds, doesn't it ?

[marvelousXthings]

Yeah, it's Mary Louise Parker :) Love her!

[siggreta]

I just typed in Jayhaks and saw the older songs I love... " Im going to make you love me" Is such a great song. and "Smile" check em out come to PGH. Pa

[siggreta]

The JayHawks have such a great sound. Its been a while . I really was into them years back. I wish they would play at moondogs in pittsburgh, Pa some time

[bosanac313dboyfresh]

hey beeblebronx

dude i see ur a fan of the jayhawks i never really listend to them before but i like what i hear so far but i have a question whats that song called it goes like

I wanna see you, tomorrow the green grass

Oh my love, who stands by you, when I call

Once had a good home

Won't fall back on

Don't you think kindness has an end

ive searched everywhere dude and i cant find it

please man if uc an give me a link ur da bomb thanks dude

[beeblebronx]

I'd guess that is a song on the album "Tomorrow the Green Grass", but I don't know which particular one ...

That's a great album indeed---my fave song on it is "Bad Time".

[beeblebronx]

I love the Jayhawks! A perfect radio song!

[FlyingVie]

>frogpee, you are very close to it.

What a shame I have had the chance to see them in Europe

[frogpee2001]

"Rainy Day Music" get's my vote as the decade's best recording 2000-2009!

[danderson1966]

I met Gary Louris at a friends house party in the late 90's in Minneapolis. Very humble and unassuming.

[funkygibby]

This song is simply brilliant.

[frogpee2001]

I got Gary Louris' autograph (the singer) outside the club in Nashville where I saw them shortly after the album was released. He's a nice guy, had some time so we talked about when he was gonna make it to Chattanooga where I lived and play. Not just another egomaniac by any means. C'mon guys, do another recording!

[woodb]

"...For when the cold wind blows

Just to see how they run."

[Nautique157803]

harmonica is awesome

[valverdista]

Brilliant, only genius can write stuff like this.

[eatingshrimp]

brian dannely works with my mom and got me ashley tisdales autograpp

[JOYRIDERK19]

I can't get enough of this song!! Just wish they were still together and touring!

[mcdrank]

Great, greater, greatest song!

[IrishGuy713]

I love this video, I think Mary-Louise Parker is such an awesome actress, and so beautiful, what a perfect person to cast.
