Rilo Kiley - Wires and Waves - Music Video

[wweleah]

<3

[7iplayguitar7]

MONKEY! :)

[Kolm14]

It annoys me how Jenny sings waves before wires but the song is called Wires and Waves. But it doesn't really matter because this song is amazing and so is Jenny.

[WheatFtw1]

@Kolm14 It's called artistic license. Why are Bob Dylan songs named the way they are? Because when you write em, you can call whatever you damn well please. :P

[Kolm14]

@WheatFtw1 I was just kidding D:

[svogel04]

i'm so sad they broke up

[lbetweenthebars]

@svogel04 me too, man, me too.

[CaliforniaGirl088]

I have undying love for this song...

[KeefStrummer]

[snesfreak25]

I can't stop watching this video, <3 Jenny.

[Nearjorge]

[afeinhandler]

i flinched when the guy threw a paper airplane

[thebrowniesaur22]

[kaari1]

[xxcaitbrookexx]

she needs to be my wife.

[groundzeroeffect]

jenny lewis is so beautiful

[senorpepe77]

aka 474 rock nr roll

[HolgerHelfert]

wow, sound a little bit like 'altered images' from the time of my youth, hehehe. great music. unfortunatelly most of the official videos i cannot open. maybe somebody can send me a mp3 file of silverlining?

[WolcottOakTree]

I love the sexy cute Jenny more than the sexy glamorous Jenny.

[DefeatingAngst]

Guitar taaabs. . .pleeeaase, I'll do anything!

[mozartfx1]

This song was released in the spring of 2001. I wonder if they had any concerns or thoughts about performing it after 9/11? Did anyone see the band during that time?

[aquaritarian]

@mozartfx1 It was actually written and performed long before the events of 9/11. Band performed it, relentlessly, I'd say until the lead up of its release (they only had so many songs and were actually largely still learning the musical parts while they played it live). After the release of 'Execution...' it was rarely played live in LA until closing tours of 'Under...'

[BerryWhoo]

I'd never even heard of Rilo Kiley until i heard that the lead singer Jenny Lewis had done a song with brandon flowers on his solo album, and i've got to say i really like this, its some good stuff :)

[screwyootube1]

I LOVE Jenny Lewis' voice! I am pretty new to Jenny/Rilo Kiley... I heard this on Radio Paradise, and had to look it up! Already a big fan of "Silver Lining" & her duet with Elvis Costello, "Carpetbaggers"... I don't know I missed her this long!

Can anyone recommend some her/their best material?

[cameroooon89]

@screwyootube1 the albums "execution of all things" and "more adventurous" are completely amazing. those two albums are consistently on my top music choice lists and always on flash drives when friends ask for music.

[screwyootube1]

@cameroooon89 Thanks for the recommendations! I'll check them out!

[marceet]

awww, old school Jenny Lewis, love it!

[xconner]

Did you notice that Morgan J. Freeman, the Director of this music video is the now Director of MTV's very own "Teen Mom"?

[DoktorSigmundFreud]

I saw a review of The Wizard, and even in that badly written role, Jenny Lewis caught my attention.

I searched for her and here she is.

As a lead singer of a kickass band.

I knew it, i knew it!

[bremex]

This is probably my favourite Rilo Kiley song!!!!

[jerkstore74]

I love this!! Take Offs and Landings is such a beautiful album. I can't believe I never saw this before.

[Simpsin16]

And sometimes planes they smash up in the sky... I love that.

[blairco]

God bless these guys. Friggen awesome rift mixes perfectly with Jenny's whimsical voice.

[MajorMocean33]

LOVE. Enough Said. (:

[KypHeM]

this sucks please never reunite

[TimmytheGeek2009]

My favorite. and how did 9 people give this a thumbs down? go back to the American Idol website, ya fuqtards ya.

[ItJustT]

She reminds of a more current/rock version of Lisa Loeb...its different but i like it,mellow rock : )

[LoveHeartKiss1]

check out my covers of rilo kiley :)xx

[tripthelightfilm]

This video was directed by MORGAN FREEMAN

[atlantis661]

[cfchick519]

@atlantis661 they have. 

[hardertoreach]

Bin Laden's fave band.

[scaklam]

she totally does look like the girl from the breakfast club...in a good wa y tho

[fangsupkatie]

jenny looks like the basketcase from the breakfast club in this video...

[ParabolaTool]

I didn't know Serj was in Rilo Kiley...

[ofbestfit]

also jenny looks so aborable here :)

[selloutkid89]

most excellent.

[avoidthefallout]

They just don't make music like they used to, but I <3 Rilo Kiley regardless.

[ofbestfit]

aren't they on hiatus at the moment so they dont' really make music at all.

[gorramdoll]

they used to be such a good band, it breaks my heart

[esupin]

One of my favorite Rilo Kiley songs.

[yellotaxibuffoon9]

love<3

[EekZombies]

SHe used to play Hailey in the movie The Wizard with Fred Savage.. go check it out! It was about Nintendo!! Came out in late 80s i used to watch it all the time when i was little!!

[laker2125]

I honest to god did coke with jenny lewis and conor oberst two years ago at an after party for coachella

[tylerrubyy]

that's the hottest thing i've ever heard

[gloopofdoom]

pics or it didn't happen.

[drummer4815]

wait was this srsly directed by morgan freeman? like THE morgan freeman with the sexxy voice THAT morgan freeman??

[sunnyskies9]

No, like Morgan J. Freeman who produced, among other things, 16 and Pregnant, that MTV show.

[Isabella7448]

I don't like very muth..is so phisicc

[AnUglyAmerican]

this album is really hard to find in stores. i should just buy it on iTunes or order it, but i enjoy the hunt.

[morninggreen1976]

reminds me more of tanya donely

[thefriendlyrabbit]

this sounds nothing like the cranberries.

[TimmytheGeek2009]

I love this song.

and chicks playing bass are hot.

[laker2125]

@TimmytheGeek2009 It's base bass in like some kind a like fish thingie. lol ideot.!

[TimmytheGeek2009]

@laker2125

fail that ESL class again? maybe you're better with French - douche bag.

[belicute]

her voice reminds me cranberries but i hate cranberries

[belicute]

this is beautiful

[xPeaceloveandmusicx]

Pretty good

[sleepyat2am]

Sometimes planes just smash up in the sky... in spring 2001, this was shot? Creepy precursor to 9/11.

[seibervideo]

The song itself is older than that, the album came out in 2000.

[eforville]

i really really love this video

[sukbum1]

this is the rilo kiley i know and love how i miss you. now i'm stuck under the blacklight

[DandelionsAndCheese]

so 90's....

that's not a bad thing =P

[yellowbird8]

where is jason?

is that him with the mustache?

[palomamlb]

no, that was the drummer they had before jason, I don't remember his name though, sorry

[RastaRach]

what i wouldnt give to be able to go back in time and see rilo kiley back in the early years... unbeatable

[futurewolf42o]

is this jonas brothers

[leif021]

Jenny can sing! -Leif

[Janpei]

It's weird, because I'm one of the few males who listens to Rilo Kiley that doesn't find Jenny Lewis attractive.

Then I see this video, and in this one instance, she's the kind of girl I would love to be with. I think it's the short hair and the fact that early Rilo Kiley songs are just so innocently cute.

[Malquey]

No one resists Jenny for long. In fact fighting it just makes the falling harder.

[Janpei]

However, I still don't find her attractive at all. I've just never been into her. Though she is very appealing in this one video.

[sircloud7]

she looked rather tom boyish back in the day, but i've always loved her hair. i don't think her songs are innocent at all, especially not on the last 2 albums.

[Janpei]

That's why I said "early" Rilo Kiley songs. The stuff from Initial Friend and Take-Offs and Landings was just very basic, fun music. This is a solid example.

[Natelcs]

Shes not the hottest if you see her, but its like when a rapper get big, girls fall for them in spite of their looks, because of their creativity :D

But Jenny is pretty cute.

[futurewolf42o]

I'd let her shit on my chest

[Natelcs]

HAHAHAHAHA!

Have u heard Glendora?

[standardyarn]

use to give me a little boy boner

[TimmytheGeek2009]

lol....now that's love...or something

[mccainMOARlikemcFail]

i agree i don't find her hot by any stretch of the imagination lol but i do find her quite cute in her own way

[arcticscientists]

i find her pretty hot.. and im of the female species!

[futurewolf42o]

every dumb wanna-be lipstick lesbian has to seek attention on youtube and you are not an exception.

by the way, there is no "female species".. you are from the "human species". go hit up a encyclopedia and don't stop until you realize how stupid you are.

[gkg101]

@futurewolf42o

issues, you have issues you should explore, i believe

[kiwiasaye]

@futurewolf42o  Thats "hit up AN encyclopedia''.

[Paradigm6790]

@futurewolf42o Im so tired of these copy pasta posts. If you're going to argue with someone use your own words. the "every dumb wannabe lipstick lesbian does X" post is overplayed enough that u should kill yourself if you use it.

[dante9879]

OMG thi is good and i was Blake's babisitter in Irvine California.

[n00bzn00bzn00bz]

you lucky fucking bitch

i have a crush on Blake

[picies08]

wasnt blake "joey the rat" on boy meets world?

[Izzy41630]

Yes he was.

[dante9879]

OMG thi is to god and i was Blakes's babysitter in Irvine california LOL

[cyrus7913]

lmao!  she's adorable!

[icekweem]

She's so fucking cute it's ridiculous.

[supradoom]

I had a huge crush on her in the wizard.

[XxAngelicVampirexX]

Awesome!

Shes cute but kinda looks like a boy ^^;

[dkleinm]

When exactly do planes "smash up in the sky?" I love this song.

[smexTTS]

came across this while looking for Sub Pop Records. A rather good song I must say.

[aussie56]

The way she yells out "hearts" at 2:00 in the song gets me every time. So cute, but so angry! Rar!

[Goooooaaal]

yep, Alanis Morissette style

[lesaubergines]

Aw look at her little hair cut <3

[BLATHERZ]

sekjhfdlshsdg

[BLATHERZ]

you need to grow up.

are you the same person you were ten years ago..

"before you started taking yourself seriously"?

..thats what i thought dumbass.

[bangxbangxbianca]

i wonder how old she was when

this music vid was made

[julianzfarm]

my guess is aroung 24 or 25. she is 32 now

[LillyAnRoses]

your thinking of the famous actor Morgan P. Freeman

this Freeman is a director an little less famous

.. he produced laguna beach for MTV

[inebriation]

aw look at little jenny. i love her. she's adorable.

[mscottj87]

morgan j. freeman not the same as morgan freeman the actor?

[iluvfergie]

i love her longer hair though.

[mandastubbz]

wooo i live in that desert! it blows

[22willhug4free]

i love the mojave :) i wish i could live there. has anyone noticed that almost all roadtrip music videos are shot in deserts?

[bradyjones92]

its amazinghow much jenny lewis' look can change.

[somagirl33]

i've always loved this song, makes me think about ex's and currents ;) she is always SO DAMN CUTE!!! she is still working her thrift store style, just as i was then - but if only i knew SHE did it too then!!! i didn't become a 'true fan' until that past two years..

[LuxLisbon369]

God, she does look like Moe Tucker!

I love both the Lo-fi, and the more polished rilo kiley, tho

[VOLVERHURTS]

the lyrics are just amazing.....listen to them..

[jaxn]

most underrated rilo song everrrrrrrrrrrrr

[aria4567]

probably one of my favorite songs

[nahtanaj]

Oh my This is hauntingly beautiful, as is the artist, this band becomes more facinating in reverse. Start with portions for foxes and work bakewards. She is Jodi Mitchell.

[evilhippo5]

"Jenny was so much sexier back then; back before she started trying to be sexy."

So, so true.

Generally, Rilo Kiley were a lot better before they started taking themselves seriously, although there is some very good recent stuff.

[ugafan0089]

Jenny Lewis looks so much like Mo Tucker from the Velvet Underground in this video

[20012LV]

i can't get over how young they look! great video, thanks for sharing

[CelticSchmetterling]

fantastic! thanky for uploading this vid :)

[anyafofanya]

they all look so young!!

[diananavarroo]

Oh man the simplicity of their videos then to their videos now, not that they are all pricey high budget, just in comparison

[utewbisgay]

morgan freeman is a great director

[HELLOkitty1974]

Her hair looks so cute in this!

[ihateurmom]

wow what a horribly old video.

[Track14]

its only 7 years old shut the fuck up

[ihateurmom]

Um...I'm a huge fan of this band/song...so what if I don't like the video? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Although that probably shouldn't be true on youtube.

[slimpicturesDOTcom]

You gotta respect a solid band that makes simple videos like this - makes them seem approachable and very unpretentious. It's directed by Morgan J. Freeman, a guy with a solid directing history, so there's nothing amateur here.  I find it charming, but, hey, that's just my opinion.

[thegoldenavatar]

I love it. Jenny was so much sexier back then; back before she started trying to be sexy. Oh,  and the fact that their music was so much better probably has something to do with it. I really lost interest in them after More Adventurous, although I still enjoy some of their recent music.

[gorramdoll]

agreed

except "I still enjoy some of their recent music"

[chalkwantsin]

I once made an incredibly unoffensive remark on youtube and got slated for it, some people are just stupid when it comes to dealing with other peoples opinions.

[ihateurmom]

thank you! :]

[VOLVERHURTS]

'Wires and Waves' is an often forgotten Rilo Kiley gem. It's a simple theme -- distance, time and what separates people -- but the songwriting team (and former lovers) Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett have the power to take worn ideas and desires, and turn them -- through well-crafted words -- into creative images and stories.

[acdcchase14]

marry me jenny lewis.

[VOLVERHURTS]

no marry me !!!!!!!!!

[wierdpointlessname]

you guys are both wrong, she's marrying me

[RaulGodOfTheRaulists]

She's going to marry Eminem, because I said so.

[diananavarroo]

HAHAHAHHA

[thatspud]

I like this rilo kiley better :[

jennys old look is so cute... maybe... new hair, old look, and shes rockin it. but if shes getting more.... attention... with her new look, then im glad shes happy.

[sircloud7]

She has a boyfriend (some dumbass called Johnathon Rice). I know this because the first time I met her she introduced me to him. The second time I met her, I had sneaked into the band's dressing room, and he called security on me.

[LindbergDPS]

sounds as if you're the dumbass.

[yellowbird8]

what do you mean some dumbass... johnathan rice is amazing

[sircloud7]

he's a jerk and horrible guitar player. stop idolizing, i've met the boy.

[yellowbird8]

ive seen him play and i met him

he isnt even like that

[92RedRevolver]

Lmao, wow. You snuck into the dressing room, you were trespassing. It is a bit weird, even if your intentions weren't so.

[animekitten789]

I love this band, but with that haircut, she looks a little like a boy...

[AnconaR]

SHE LOOKS GREAT!

[animekitten789]

she does (in a way that isn't lesbianic), but I like her new hair better...

[BlurMoonn]

I like more rilo kiley with this album

[toast123789]

actually I heard she was gay too but uh either way theyre a cute band. I like them.

(what does singing about sex have to do with lesbians? I dont sing about sex and neither do tegan and sara very often so I dont really get that comment)

[toast123789]

ps this comment is actually from babybearpook. I didn't realise I was signed into this account...

[helenageeksquadian]

Singing about sex doesn't make you a slut, or a lesbian, and lesbians aren't any more slutty than straight girls. Girls that make out with each other and grind at parties or in clubs are usually slutty straight girls looking for attention, not lesbians.

[apta216]

how would you know, SLUT

HOW ABOUT ONLY TALKING ABOUT RILO KILEY

[helenageeksquadian]

First of all, NO she is not gay. NO. She IS NOT. Get that in your head.

Second of all, why would it matter if she was??!! That wouldn't have any effect on how well she sings or how great a musician she is, OR how good of a person she is. Grow up homophobes.

Third and finally, singing about sex doesn't make you gay. WTF? Straight women are just as into sex as lesbians are.

[nadiyah637]

I loved it!!!

[TacosRaqs]

As a straight woman who names my sexuality as one of my most valued aspects of myself, that comment about singing about sex way too much to be straight kind of offends me.

What the fuck do you know about what goes on in a woman's head striaght or not?

[mad4music7]

the ending is classic.

[thenotice]

i heard that jenny lewis was gay....

anybody want to prove that wrong?

please....

[MizarP]

she's not gay.

[thenotice]

oh....whew. k good.

because one of my friends told me that she sings about sex way too much to be straight.

just checking.

i can sleep at night now. thanks.

[apta216]

no ,stfu

[nadiyah637]

i pray shes not gay shes really good

[apta216]

patrick demsey directed it ,, duh

[apta216]

why would people thumbs down good news.

ASSHOLES

they&
