  • Misfits

  • If I was at a bar in some burnt out has-been town and Supergrass showed up to play I would shit.

  • Lovely.

  • This band will one day be revered as they should be.

  • Gaz voice is so John Lennon

  • Yeah...this was filmed 10 minutes away from me ;)

  • thats so cool.

  • there too good to stay away WATCH THE SPACE

  • this made me remember some aspect of the white album

  • love this video!

  • What is the song at the beggining?

  • Supergrass created such amazing music, not everyone recognised how wonderful they really were, but those of us who did will never get tired of saying it.

  • the brothers have taken a sabbatical... please come back sooon...

  • un groupe injustement mal reconnu en france

  • Have never got the Lennon vibe from this tune though seen it said a few times on this thread. What Lennon stuff does it sound like?

  • Wish they didn't break up, but I guess all great bands do...at least a member didn't die. Follow me here: They remind me of Nirvana in that they write simple songs with great depth. No, they don't sound like them, but they possess the same natural flow that only occurs in the right circumstances.

  • I love Gaz and his HATS!!!

  • One of my best song ever

  • '70s Lennon style.

  • es una lastima q no c haya valorado a esta banda como deberia ya q es un super grupaso lastima de su separacion

  • This and Late In The Day have got to be my personal fav's of theirs.

  • I love this song, video and GAZ xxxx

  • They split up :(

  • Lennon lives...!!!!

  • my life wouldn't be perfect without them

  • this song is Perfect... it's simply perfect

  • it makes me cry :(((

  • My favorite song in zee world!

  • lovely! i wonder how they found out about this place.

  • ahh i love the blending of lyrics and story in this video great content, again amazing editing eye for synchronicity! love it guys!

  • i live in rouen :D

  • simply sublime...

  • supergrassofficial... last login: 3 years ago... ugh.

    The things we used to have

    Have faded on too fast

    Like a castle in the sand

    We miss you, Supergrass, farewell.

  • I like em Kinda sounds like John Lennon

  • Amazing video.

  • i want to get my hands on the song at the beginning so much! does anyone here know where i can could find a copy of it?

  • Brilliant! Love it so!

  • This is such a beautiful song! :O The acoustic intro at the beginning just sounds so emotional :D :D :D

  • im always going on about how underrated these guys are!

  • EPIC SONG.

    EPIC PLACE.

  • Found this band's work in the cut out bin at a chain record store .was not their goal am pretty sure- probably bad pr /management cos' they defintely have chops,great songwriting .If this video was shot in the course of a benefit to keep the Weeki Wachee Mermaids in business -that's pretty cool .Karma goes round .I'll do my part to keep these guys from hocking their instruments...

  • My mom was a Weeki Wachee mermaid and she's in this video twice! First at 0:29 she's right in the center under the Weeki Wachee sign with the red hair, then at 3:18 in the back row, second in from the right. Just got back from a trip there, it's a really amazing place to be.

  • Comment removed

  • @diplodocuscore It's more like 3:17, the group shot with the stripy suits.

  • Does anyone know what the chord is in between C and Am during the verse? Or tab that thing in between?

  • @DefinitelySurely He just does a quick G -> A slide on the lowest string (which probably should be tuned to C (Low C - geddit? :)) instead of E)

  • hey, guys, this is at weeki wachi springs florida. I went to their park, they do mermaid shows. It's cool.

  • What a great video! At first I was like, WTF? but I loved it by the end!

  • how do they make such great songs that would shat on anything in most popular music today but never get no reward for there craft

  • @SuperPissflaps Because they don't spend enough time on the T4 couch? I like your name.

  • beautiful, just beautiful, long live the old supergrass!!

  • this song is the greatest song on EARTH!

  • Wow this was awesome, I had some doubts about them earlier but now listening to them for a while theyre like super awesome.

  • what the fuck

  • better than lennon

  • hahaha. agreed.

  • sounds a bit lik lennon

  • Wow the vid was so fitting with the song. How do Supergrass make such amazing songs? And why does no-one champion them anymore? :*(

  • @Terramax They never really have been championed have they..

    It's ridiculous when think they've never had a duff single - ever.

  • such a good video :)

  • I agree, I am not a massive fan of the Foo Fighters, not that that makes a difference but I have seen these guys twice and they are amazing, well under rated!

  • I liked the Pink Floyd style stuff that they did on Live on Other Planets.. This is an excellent band.

    They did a great opening act for Foo Fighter on their last tour. They should get their own US tour.

  • foo fighters and supergrass together :D... my favourite tape i used to listen to was nirvana on one side, supergrass on the other

  • i love this band

  • Pure pop....

  • Comment removed

  • I went to that place when I was 6 years old. That was 35 years ago. It was a very fond memory from my childhood. I thought it was great that Supergrass did a video at Weeki Wachi. It looks like everyone had a great time at that benefit.

  • lol I actually went to Buccaneer Bay today. usually go at least once a week on the weekends.

  • a real band

  • This video goes so well with the sentimentality of the song.

  • I work there! My job is to swim with the mermaids! HA!

  • i want to dance under water like that

  • This is another good Supergrass track, they should some more like this and st petersburg.

  • sounds a bit like marc bolan , very cool :)

  • Supergrass are the greatest band the world often ignores.

  • my god so true

  • @D0ST03VSKY

    "the greatest band the world often ignores" is a rather specific title... :P One that doesn't sound that very prestigious at that.

  • @D0ST03VSKY Actually I think only the United States ignored them.

  • thanks you supergrass. i have always had a sexual thing for mermaids.

    i am talking about real ones.

  • Such a beautiful song and touching video. Great band.

  • man does he have some serious solo john lennoness in his voice

  • I have been a big fan of Supergrass since they came out. I enjoy them for their goofy playfulness, and this video is evidence of their fun nature. I used to play mermaid all the time when I was on the swim team, so this video speaks to me. Supergrass rocks my world.

  • great song, great video, great band, I hope they visit Mexico, someday, someday.

    saludos from Mexico

  • excellent !

  • Absolutely. Stunning.

    Memo to other recording artists: the perfect music video has now been made and posted on YouTube. The medium has achieved its apotheosis. Stop work immediately. You cannot compete. Repeat: you cannot compete.

  • These are excellent performers. Can you imagine putting "Mermaid" on your tax form when it requests your occupation?

    I hope they got a BIG raise when Weeki Wachee became a Florida State Park.

  • GO SEE THE MERMAIDS

    You won't regret it.

    Can someone PLEASE repair or replace their window screen in the auditorium? It's seen better days.

  • It is a great Video...and I agree....this is like a beatle video / music.

    Great

  • I thought this was John Lennon for a second.

  • Perfection.

  • This reminds me of John Lennon- that is a compliment to Supergrass. Other bands have tried to sound like this but just don`t reach it!!!!

  • Great video, great song, great place to visit! Not many places like this one left anymore.

  • quite frankly - brilliant. Straight onto my favourites list.

  • stupid ignorant

  • What a great mellow tune, its one of my all time favorites, and a great video too.

  • I went to weeki wachee springs today, my grandmother lives there. the mermaid show was great! <3

  • I was at WW in June of 2007 the water was very low. TY for the nice show!

  • My daughter has loved coming to the show since she was three. She's almost eleven now and wants to go back soon. cool video!

  • what a cool video, I've never seen it before but it's really nice and original

  • haven't heard this in ages one of my faves.

  • Excellent band Talented too

    Beatles souding tune...bit like Crowded house `not the girl you think you are`

  • I saw them back in june in exeter, they were awesome live. They just look like they are really enjoying themselves, as did i watching them. Gaz is a prince among men! Keep up the wonderful work

  • I was at that show! I bought a 'Hoo Ha' t-shirt and then after the show finished I waited by their tour bus and got it signed by Gaz! Woo

  • Awesome. I really like this.

  • i respect this band so much, they are'nt trying to stay in the number one charts of live in the limelight as most celebrities do, they just stay in the background, making GREAT music, doing live performances and building their fanbase, this is why they have outlived most of the other britpop bands.. many greats have come and gone, supergrass are underated, but they are still the best in my eyes

  • Road to Rouen...what an amazing album.

    And there are no words to describe how beautiful this particular song is.

  • Beuatiful song ! What an amazing band these really are!

  • YES THERE ARE BRO!

  • I had heard of them. Totally diff. than what I expected. I really like their sound and would like to hear more. Great voice!

  • I spent many a night cruising the back roads late with my kids, getting away from my ex wife during one of her tirades. We used to listen to this song over and over on those long strange nights, the kids and I. It would make us forget everything and look at each other and wink and smile and giggle.

  • The beauty of the springs is can not be expressed in video. I do love the old photos! More please!

  • My family and I went to Weeki Wachi on the 60th anniversary. Some of the original mermaids swam for us. It was amazing.

  • this video is awesome. the weeki wachi mermaids have their own website and the video is posted there.

  • Doritos at 00:53

  • Stunning song from a great album by a hugely underated band. The video captures the mood of the song perfectly.

  • i wanna be a mermaid

  • I remember seeing this video years ago on TV.  It just popped into my head the other day and I've been trying to think of the band and name of the song. Thanks for this. Cool song and cooler video.

  • supergrass has the most original and beautiful videos. i'm so in love with them.

  • not heard this song before but yeah i agree, very very john lennon. like it, nice to hear somethings thats abit different :)

  • mermaid carli is cute

  • very nostalgic. Amazing band. Great video concept.

  • perfect chill out song

  • what an amazing voice and song this is perfect!

  • This song is so beautiful it makes me ache

  • great video

  • Such a beautiful song. I love them.

  • very john lennon

  • beautiful video!

    great band!!!

  • Love this vid!

  • I bum this, I'd enjoy to be sat in a warm field with a fat bag listening to this preferably with me lass and some pizza too a-ha!

  • great vid, im a big fan of this song.

  • Have not seen this for a while....Road To Rouen is a great album. Saw the band in Edinburgh last night and they were brill. All the new material was excellent, and the new album should be as good as R2R.

  • I know Road to Rouen didn't get a whole lot of love, but it's my favorite Supergrass album and probably one of my top 10 favorite albums of any band. Great video, never even knew it existed until today.

  • the song itself didn't catch my attention until i saw this video. now, it's one of my favs off the 'road to rouen'. straight five, perfect, omg, etc.

  • Without a doubt the best british band of the past 2 decades, it is a shame that they are also the most undervalued one.

    Road to Rouen has to be one of the most perfect albums ever.

  • My mom works at weeki wachee in the restaurant , we live about 10 min away by car

  • Supergrass continues to impress. A music video and a documentary, and both are done amazingly well.

  • What a truly lovely video.

  • Low C, old A, concert A...

  • i love supergrass and i love weeki wachee! what a great combination :)

  • Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

  • i never knew this song had a video

  • What an absolutely corking video - like a slice of pure Americana. The song is just fantastic too. That's how to make a proper video and song combine properly.

  • i've been a s.g. fan for a long time and this is the first time i saw this video...brilliant!

  • Love this song and video! Love me some Gaz! lol! I wish! ;)

    Nice they promoted Weekiwachee too!

  • SUPERGRASS :]

    I LOVE THIS SONG ^^

  • Ah, 2005, good times, great album. If this doesn't bring the tears then Fin always does....

  • I always tought that Road to Rouen is emotionally speaking one of the greatest albums ever released.

  • definetly, Fin is the saddest sound I've ever heard.

  • Very true. Also one of the best albums in rock. Ever.

    Supergrass is the best band in the world today.

  • Revolt, I wouldn't exactly say that lol

  • Well I would, and just did. Again.

  • well maybe you are overacting man :) but they are good!

  • road to rouen is indeed a fucking brilliant album :)

  • Spelling is "weird" 85mada. "i before e except after c" remember?

  • :) and ..well..what can i say..: :)

  • Fucken fantastic tune =D

    i <3 Supergrass!

  • Best music video ever made in the history of the medium.  Like a mini-documentary, and it tells more about the heart of American culture (old and new) than any modern attempt at journalism could....

  • this video makes me so sad. it's a tribute to the end of a no-worries era.

  • Supergrass never stops being fun.  This video was an awesome surprise from an excellent, overlooked (in America) rock band.

  • favorite music video EVER. perfect. beautiful.

  • Great shot of Gaz singing on a boat in the sun!

  • love it :)

  • this is indeed bloody beautiful

    my favourite song from my favourite band, actually

  • Anyone who ever thought about making a music video might as well just give up, because there will NEVER, EVER be a video better than this. EVER.

  • Carlsberg don't do music videos. If they did, they'd be nowhere near as good as this.
