[benpoulden1]

240p, now thats Indie.

[bigblonde26]

I live in LA, not far from Downey & I have been there but couldn't find that sign!

[kainbylukatai666]

Esta canción es genial! danke freund!

[hi771lrt]

Soooo awesome. So mysterious, he totally 'gets' what Karen Carpenter captured so easily with her effortless voice! This is so like a sequel to her version....and that is such a compliment.

[cybercossack]

Vevo is like trying to listen your neighbours stereo through the wall

[DanAir]

Vevo totally sucks balls. Thanks.

[marili5770]

VEVO can kiss my ass!!! Thanks so much for posting ;)

[Sainburycp]

Harry Potter on the drums and Ron Weasley on vocals...

[shiiovolkova]

@Sainburycp NO

[MrSerathor]

Is it just me, but Kim Gordon looks so hot in this red dress that I forgot to listen this music...

[PascalVillarubias]

J'ai cliqué sur "j'aime"; j'aurais préféré cliquer sur "j'adore!" ou, mieux encore sur "j'adore très très beaucoup!!!" Il faudrait peut-être nuancer les appréciations. Avis aux têtes pensantes de l'internet...

[Babyjoker1331]

long ago

and oh so far away

I fell in love with you

before the second show

your guitar

it sounds so sweet and clear

but you're not really there

it's just the radio

[bengativo6]

my ceiling isnt leaking  water .there are tear drops everywhere around my room when we all sit and play this song it brings me memories of 1996 and on .when we all used to be reckless younger and didnt have to worry about shit!!! when iwas 20 ..fuk time goes by really fast

[valhalia100]

[chompypunk890]

[bretondesiles]

[VenusFray]

sonic youth is unreal

[RonLeoP]

i like this

[redmondbarryesq]

Damn that is the coolest microphone I've ever seen, sparkling & shimmering!!! This is an awesome song.

[cushinb]

its Leon Russells' superstar

[pseudonomous]

@cushinb People don't realize this, but yeah. I wonder if Sonic Youth knew this? The video's clearly a tribute to Karen Carpenter. They must've had to license the song from Russel, though, so ... probably. Maybe not before they looked into the licensing, though.

[Greenborn1]

I miss the 90's.



[andythelug01]

reminds me of a great time in my life

[mauoxidado]

yeah! vevo is a crap!

[L763c]

Perfection

[kkeruak]

It is possible to take pleasure in loneliness...

[jenzeppelin]

VEVO drives me nuts because the ads interrupt my steady flow of music, the vibe i am on being cut by the sounds of an annoying ad. so yeah, VEVO sucks. Sonic Youth rocks. perfection, i think.

[Kyussfan96]

I was 11 in 2007 and I remember Ride by The Vines was in every ad and video game of that year. Post-Punk revival was in and music was so awesome and then in 2011 I heard about hipsters and I was like oh crap! Post-Punk>Indie any day of the week!!

[harnas2929]

kapitalny utwór. 

[harnas2929]

kapitalny utwór.

[imliterallyacat]

i wish i could listen to this without thinking of stupid ass juno hipsters

[woowoo1967]

@imliterallyacat  Think about the true "superstars" who make this beautiful music happen.... Karen C, and SonicYouth............ I love both...

[twistedkarm]

@imliterallyacat

man you are so right...

i hate those MF

the carpenters and sonic youth are way beyond them

[thintige001]

perfect !!!

[dmartingti]

Love this!



[bertbretherton]

Ta for posting this tribute. To those few who don't understand - a tribute is 'a sign of honour or recognition' (Collins Dictionary).

[maaskant2]

Coevering The Carpenters Superstar? Originaly it was Delaney and Bonnie's ; 'Groupie' written by Bonnie Brammlet and Leon Russel. It became 'Superstar' when Rita Coolidge sang it on Joe Cockers Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

[funebrito]

One of the best covers ever

[darrenfoster002]

love this song

[fromCRADLE2nslave]

sad sad sad...

but yet!!!

legendary SONIC YOUTH still make me happy with their tunes!!!

[blackandtanful]

みなさん､ｿﾆｯｸ･ﾕｰｽのｶｰﾍﾟﾝﾀｰｽﾞ"ｽｰﾊﾟｰｽ­ﾀｰ"ですよ!～聞かなきゃ損です!～大好きなｷﾑ･ｺﾞｰﾄﾞ­ﾝの眼差し

[sydkneexo]

I dedicate this song to my friend in rehab for 6 months.... :/

I miss & love you.

"Long ago, & oh so far away, I fell in love with you....before the second show.

Your guitar, sounds so sweet & clear, but youre not really there....its just the radio"

:(

[babyshaker90210]

You couldn't of at least put it up in better quality?

[TheSnazzyDrewbinski]

Man, 240p has a great taste in music

[cigaretteskinny21]

@twentyskillz thank you so much for posting this, vevo takes like ten times as long to load, THANK YOU

[twentyskillz]

@cigaretteskinny21 You're welcome

[AUS10TEX]

@cigaretteskinny21 For Andrew B . (1969-2012) He loved Sonic Youth

[Everythingsleeps]

kim gordon actually looks hot here and she's single now!

[TheDogfacedboy1]

not a good thing splitting up ,, fingers crossed all ok spend twenty seven odd years with one person and then all change . i would struggle ,, good video though and your right

[Schmoopy66]

They always reminded me of people you would see in Andy Warhol's factory, circa 1965. There's something so odd, arty and very Nico-like about BOTH Kim G. & Thurston M. that would have fit in perfectly with Warhol's crowd.

[etriaa]

BUTY SPADAJĄ...!!! (the most beautiful - in English) .Thx!

[jolluxz]

This is probably my favorite cover of any song, ever. It takes the original song and makes it so sad and desperate. Thanks for posting this!

[wall666nirvana]

Greetings from Tunisia

[bertbretherton]

Ta for posting this masterpiece. Apart from the high artistic merit, isn't it so good to see cool performers doing their stuff without having to try to be cool?

[jrtayloriv]

this voice can only sing into gold microphones

[Villageiddyit]

your guitar... it sounds so sweet and clear

but you're not really there..

it's just the radio.

[NETIYO]

bill gates on drums!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[awombat1]

Every so often a cover version takes a song to another level. I think this version does that. Great cover of a fine song.

[soundofmusic94]

lonelyness...... such a sad affair......

[lotsofciggies]

he nails the "baby baby baby baby ohhhh bay-bee...." part, and that part pretty much makes the song.

[riffraff1089]

thank you

[riffraff1089]

fuck vevo

[Johnnystrychnine]

@riffraff1089 ha ha ha

[sourtimes19]

Es tan deprimente...muy bueno!

[BlackwaterPark0]

"Dont you remember you told me you loved me baby?"

[BlackwaterPark0]

What an amazing cover.
