We danced to this at my wedding.

It is impossible to be sad while listening to this song.

[C33Four]

@clutchcityrockets I usually HATE when people spam the "dislike" thing to get their own comments rated high but this is pure gold. Bravo sir.

[MullvadSWE]

[sollecks970]

@christinaaaaa it ought to be the other way around, okkervil river are truly epic

[jiggliemon]

[jmdspark696]

john lennon and tom cruise in the tvs.

[ellenbethesda]

really excellent

[dan8852]

lol at the Mormon advertisement.

[harringwa]

as epic as they come

[youcancallmejdawg]

the manager of this band is a math professor in Austin



[thefool5000]

Fuckin Mormon Ads.....

[Nightbird87]

The guy who sings the lower part...I could listen to him all day

[jeanyapko]

@Nightbird87 then you should check out the band Shearwater, he's the lead singer!

[SandThruFingers]

I'm sorry, I've just never seen such a clear cut example of a by-the-book predictable chord structure, mediocre vocals and unoriginal video.

[santaclara84]

@SandThruFingers well you obviously haven't heard a very wide selection of music then.

[ellenbethesda]

@SandThruFingers

you have no clue

[ellenbethesda]

@SandThruFingers

[AbduCola]

@SandThruFingers Lol they're literally the exact opposite of all that. Let me guess. you think Wiz Khalifa's Black and Yellow is the greatest song of all time?

[SandThruFingers]

One of the worst songs I've ever heard..

[twosixteen]

@SandThruFingers Quiet, grown men are having a discussion.

[MegaMuffin4568]

this song is insanely addicting, this must be the 30th time ive replayed it TODAY

[helptheunderdog]

It sounds like a city and colour rip off.

[belkotar]

this song makes me want to play Banjo.

[weeeeeeeennnnaa813]

is the main singer Jimmy off one tree hill? if not he really looks like it :)

[turnitblue2cam]

I can't wait to see you in concert in Chapel Hill soon!!!!

[heyheyitsmj]

My days are so much brighter when I listen to this song in the morning. :)

[4FtHawaiian]

why no mobile viewing? lame.

[Devine1202]

what a silky smooth voice...

[numbah12time]

Whoaaaa. Vocalist sounds like the one from Dear and the Headlights. Tripped me out. haha. Great song.

[DermochelysCoriacea]

O gOd! O...O...wow. I think I just blew my load. No...wait, that was poop. Anyway, I love this song.

[andreastrato]

reaminds me the killers.........

[whoelsebutanna1]

can you at least try to respect the band and talk about their music and not how it makes "your ears orgasm"? thanks.

[GothamWriter91]

@whoelsebutanna1 can you at least lighten the fuck up and get off your high-horse?

thanks.

[kiokio21]

@whoelsebutanna1 hey its not that basd at least they arent talkin about Justin Bieber.

[odeaw]

Chuck!!!

[LillianMoon]

Okkervil River music is amazing poetry put to amazing music. Amazing!

[vniss]

i wonder what its like to be will sheff

[lolzroflswaffles]

@vniss good story bro

[XxRefterxX]

@lolzroflswaffles ...it's "cool" story bro.

[aclockonthewall]

i think it hilarous

[karenleehp]

I just love this song, and yeah, it makes my ears orgasm too.

[Shn000dle]

It's about the life of a travelling muso. Constantly moving from town to town, waving goodbye to people and doing it over and over.

[johnnovilla]

Brilliant record- such a shame, should be a massive hit, has tones of the Walker Brothers from the 60s- keep going lads, you will make it.

[handsomevision]

how can i get the lyrics for this song???

[kimzeh]

Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the quay. No one waving

for me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I

didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the

faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep inside

but I don't want to look so deep inside yet.

Sit down, sit down on the prow to wave bye, there might not be another

stop, further on the line.

[handsomevision]

beautiful.

thanks.

what do you think he is trying to say? what's your opinion?

[kimzeh]

Look out, look out at each town that glides by,

and there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes. And see how that

light you love now just won't shine, there might just be another star,

that's high and far in some other sky.

We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set to decide

what her hands might be doing. Ruining the play to in the ensuing melee

escape

[kimzeh]

We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from the

weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered rattling

our swords in service of some feted foreign lord.

We sail out on order from him but we find that the maps he sent to us

don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen has been

mapped or outlined, we don't recognize the names upon these signs.

[kimzeh]

And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well

we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la

la la la la

[jstlive]

Okkervil river are my favorite band!

[yahabeich]

seen these live in manchester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Desy696]

This song is really great. i heard it on Sirius's Indie Rock station once, and I've forgotten about it until just now.

[THEADDSHOWRULES]

Great song. Some chick burned me a CD with this song on it...

[afranco158]

marry the chick.

[epitaaf]

No, let her take contact with me.

[erinreja20]

@afranco158 yeah this song and "Calling and Not Calling My Ex" are very obviously about the same person and I'm pretty sure she is also referenced in "Unless It Kicks". My sentiments exactly: marry her.

[conli3888]

i think weezer ripped this song with that new song If You're Wondering

[detharmy666]

i completely agree with you

[tim4x]

"And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide. Well, we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright."

Those lines always remind me of myself, and how I often feel lost, but I'm never willing to admit that I might not be in control. Fantastic song.

[MaxxIsSmall]

It Makes My Ears Orgasm

:D

[ltlgrkgoddess]

I saw them live a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco. Everyone sang along to the "la la la" part at the end...it was amazing.

[SkwertDiggity]

I get lost in their songs as well... I love it!

[zacp00]

this song is my ring tone. i get lost in their songs

[vortexrose]

if you get lost in their songs it might not be the best idea to have it as your ringtone. even though it is awesome.

[dtanstaafl]

Who is the back up singer? In my opinion he's got a better voice than the front man. Reminds me a bit of Morrisey.

[indiequeen92]

Jonathan Meiburg, who left Okkervil to focus on his own band called Shearwater, who I highly recommend you check out because they're incredible.

[dtanstaafl]

Thanks so much. I love them.

[WWEDDT123]

the back up singer, pat patorius is my friends uncle

[jamesycarr]

going to see them tomorrow in the roisin, cannot wait.

[BuiltToSpill10]

i saw them live a couple weeks ago in SLC :) it was awesome.

[Pretty0dd1]

hate everyone who's seeing them live in september :'( JK they're so awesome :D

[paulboggan]

wil oldham has a lot to answer for......

[handsomevision]

pedro the lion is better than this stuff.

[hersheykissnips]

Bring on the 9t September baby!!!

[chanemell]

another excellent song from okkervil river

=]

[RogueAshaman]

One of my favorite songs

[FkSofia]

Gonna see 'em live in september!! :D

[alpal91]

What's with the mic facing the wrong way?

[spankmecold]

Will Sheff has a tongue ring...?

[7a7ec]

Chuck me !!!!

[TheTurtleburger]

totally sweet

[lurdanhelhart]

Sounds like he's getting over that broken heart he nursed in Black Sheep Boy ... which reminds me that the act of forgetting is in some ways more painful than the act of remembering.

[jjuggernaut]

i love this song. it is so different, just glorious

[bennintexas]

you sincerely have no idea what you are talking about. honestly.

[dcskaterlpupunk]

You realize your name is 'wannabezakkwylde'?

that automatically puts you under crap.

[Wisegeorge]

These guys are great but they should change their name to Overkill River so I won't keep geeting it wrong.

[raisin505]

awesome vid! love it!!

[ThermostatAgreeable]
