(Behind) Closed Doors: Okkervil River

[shananigans1039]

THIS IS THE BEST KIND OF ELEVATOR MUSIC...

If you guys like this, check out 'love to a monster' on the "Lablogotheque" channel. EXCELLENT!

[oxBUSHIDOxo]

@oxBUSHIDOxo - Just to specify, it's a Okkervil river song, it's not a spam mention of my friend shitty band or something lol

[pitseleh]

his ugliness really puts me off.

[wwthomass]

@pitseleh You are joking, right?

[ananaseu]

Si vous pouviez augmenter le son la prochaine fois .

[ImAbomb]

Okkervil River is, seriously, one of the most amazing bands to have ever entered my ears. Their sounds and lyrics are simply beautiful and breath taking.

Now, I just need to see them live.

[confeysteve]

I just saw them live for the 4th time. they played a festival here in ireland on Sunday. i then drove across the country to see them in a great little venue last night. fantastic live show. go see them asap

[confeysteve]

love the extra verses in - is there a hand ....- " ...I was rocked from a snooze, but was not at all shocked by the news that a fan of mine died..." got to love the way he crafts his songs.

[clash382]

anyone else fucking annoyed at the camera guy?

[fuckaustin]

I absolutely ADORE him.

[daniel33]

I'm sorry, but this guy just reeks of pretentions and melodrama. I've many of these vids with other bands, and this is the only one that I just immediately repulsed me.

suck a chode!

[rwallacegoldaline]

That's kinda offensive. He's incredibly pretentious, overly confident, not particular handsome, but who really gives a fuck, he's also the greatest songwriter since Neil Young. He's made a hugely positive impact in contemporary music already, going to the extent of actually dragging Roky Erickson up and recording an album with him, and now he's producing music, and after ten years of non stop touring he deserves.

[rwallacegoldaline]

@wwthomass I think my comment was in reply to, 'suck a chode.' i don't know why.

[robi2000]

actually a pretty not bad song though. did i just write that stupid sentence ?

[DisfiguredCowboy]

Now to be repulsed by Will Scheff isn't surprising, he's one gimpy, jaundiced-looking dude...but I don't think calling him pretentious is that fair...he's just kind of a goofball.

But he's an amazing lyricist and has a great voice, unfortunately he's playing stuff from his latest two albums, which you know, like any truly pretentious fan, I hate.

[kean10c]

ive been an Okkervil River fan since their first EP, and I am extremely pretentious when it comes to music, to the point of being douchy. Still I love the last two albums.

[ultimateairhead]

Will Sheff is amazing... What a beautiful person... I wish he was my friend.... : (

[maimiaa]

i like..how he keeps beat while playing. oh Will Sheff <3

[nietie85]

oops! I've just burned my hot chocolate because of this video ;)

[nietie85]

I wish I was in that elevator!

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

simply stunning.

[charms2]

I prefer the elevator version of "A Hand to take Hold of the Scene" over the one on the album. Amazing, how "shapeshifting" this music is; one can play it as a ballad, or as a rock song.

[sleepinglessons2]

oh goosebumps.

[maynewal]

I so need to marry Will Sheff! <3

[annalogic]

fucking amazing!

[AyresAlice]

Fabulous.
