Heard Girls for the first time last Saturday night (sunday morning?) at 4:00 AM on top of Twin Peaks in SF. There were five of us nestled together between the rocks, it was bitter cold and windy up on the mountain and we were taking turns trying to play a cheap nylon string guitar while our hands kept freezing. One of my friends started playing Hellhole Ratrace, and people started singing. It was so beautiful. Love my friends, love SF, thanks to Girls for the memory. Keep making heart music.
I've watched this video so many times the past week that I want to try and comment something hopefully it will become the top comment so I can get rid of the two stupid top ones. Thumbs up for good music!
September of 2009; it was my senior year of high school. I was in my Visual Arts IB class, working on my latest canvas painting when all of a sudden, this song came on the radio. I dropped my paintbrush, in pure awe of what I had just heard. This was music, I told myself; this was art. Since then, I have fallen in love with Girls, and have become one of their biggest fans. You guys have no idea how many times Christopher Owen's lyrics have saved my life; I am a happier now, all thanks to Girls.
@TonyAKABadtz i know how you feel. that year me and my friend jacob found out about them and had dreams of moving to san fran and living a beautiful existence. "But what is life without a dream and even i know dreams can still come true". Take care x
This song describes my life. Let's leave the hipsters hating alone, we'll have fun listening to real music while they babble and weep. Don't feed them, they'll continue
This isnt a hipster band. this is one of the rare music phenom's that come out every so often and are usually overlooked. i just hope the lead singer doesn't die before people catch on. so keep talking about hipsters and be satisfied you categorized something you couldn't understand. its ok your ok its all ok
1 day ago when you are reading thid do not stop or something bad will happen! (sorry about this) this girl's name is summer she is 15 years old and has blonde hair, many scars, and she has no ear. She is dead. If you don't copy this to more than 5 videos, she will appair one dark quiet night when you are not expecting it beside your bed with a knife and going to kill you. This is no joke. If you send thison 5 more videos something good will happen to yosorry idnt wanna die
Alot of people are talking crap about this song, but you probably don't know what the song is actually about. It's actually about the singers life. His mother was in a cult and he was frequently beat and had to watch people get sacrificed. This song is supposed to be from his mother's perspective "I wish i had a beach house...but now i'm just crazy, totally mad." Look it up.
Last night, my one of my brothers close friends told me this song reminded him of me -___- I almost wanted to cry, I really don't know the guy but he's awesome for caring and I didn't even know it, he's straight, I'm gay...this just means a lot because I'm tired of straight ignorant assholes and he's just chill about it :] and this song does scarily relate to me like crazy @_@
The Childish Gambino mix is strange. Am I wrong or was there another version of this video up on YT for a while? I thought I'd counted one black chick among there friends. Maybe they thought that was too multicultural. (The XXX version is definitely gone from the net; at least none of the links work anymore on the sites--Pitchfork, Sound of the City Village voice blog, etc--that had it embedded)
hey....black guy here......this song is AWESOME idc wether it's white, black, green, done by smurfs, covered by alvin in the chipmunks, chinese, viatnamese, japanese, chuck-e-cheese, or translated into cantanese..this song is awesome....peace
@bulaxa no one should..that's almost the point..some people are commenting sayin "this song is sooo white" and stuff like that..im just saying race doesnt matter..this song and this video is amazing
I'm not sure what people mean by this being the "whitest thing" they've ever seen. However, if they mean it's as opposed to Music TV which seems to be full of black artists (and white and hispanic artists who wish they were black), then maybe that's not a bad thing.
I’m a real big fan of Girls and Christopher Owens. I am attempting to start a blog based on music reviews. I just did a review on Record 3, Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It would mean a lot if you all checked it out. thenewmusiccollective.blogspot.com/
Haha I became a fan of this band and "snakes" on Facebook, and it said, "____ likes girls and snakes." People kept joking about it. It was funny because girls, obviously, is the name of a band. (The snakes were just snakes.)
@SweepTheLegYo not really i just found them on pitchfork a few days after the first album dropped so this vid didn't start rolling until a couple weeks after that. i just love it when my little bands do awesome for themselves. they deserve it.
