Chad VanGaalen - City of Electric Light

[lordwerewolf]

0 people who love just bieber on this song. awesome

[W0danTheDark]

U can't dislike this song. It's like magic! :)

[thehighestsociety]

@wktwktwkt I agree to a point, but the publicity of many musicians is the reason why I turn to musicians like Chad, to get away from the mainstream and into the hardworking and unrecognized TRUE musicians. Love ya Chad

[MrLegalizetoday]

Some of this almost looks like footage from the movie about Kurt Cobain- About A Son. Is that off base at all?

[corcircle]

So addictive! :-)

[AUSNick87]

only 60 views? how is that even possible?

[CZgrungeCZ]

is this seattle? :D

[collyera]

Unofficial vids aren't usually my bag but damn, you captured it. It seems really informal but still right on the money. Well done, stranger.

[thatsrachelle]

FUUUCK YEEESSS

[willybloo]

chad vangaalen is the shiz-nit-o-bam

[d1h9d4]

yup

[robinromei]

this is great and the video is good what camera did you use

[jbravin64]

his singing style slightly reminds me of jeff mangum

[Medivh02]

this is the perfect song for a white night

[SonsOfSevenless]

this would go so well with a skateboard or snowboard montage i find

[majiccarpets]

When I heard the first two seconds of this song, I knew it was going on repeat.

[Caligula138]

This man is is pure brilliance.

[wjow1]

Neil Young

[buddalotos]

BEST

[buddalotos]

BEST !!! СПАСИБО !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GreyShampoo]

I first heard this one as a "tester" on an alternative radioprogram from Denmark called "Det Eektriske Barometer". I was just sitting at home, sunday night and drinking my tea. This song, his voice, his guitar and all the emotions behind, just filles up my entire bedroom, making everything so magical that I almost coulden't breathe, and had to open all my windows and start crying. I've never felt like this before, but I... Kinda hope someone else does right in this moment. 'Cause it was amazing.

[LiveLoveGiveGrow]

@GreyShampoo wow o.o you really connected with this song... but what were u crying for? was it a released of emotion that had been building up?

[mantaray225]

This man. There are no words. I just...yes yes yes.

[lauripoch]

his voice reminds me a bit of Television's Tom Verlaine in this song

[themagicfingers1]

He might deserve a bigger audience but I don't think he wants one...great song.

[justiceis13]

this song is the shit

[Rolanxcore]

@r3s3t063 why must you make such a comparison? it's really REALLY unnecessary

[sauske772]

@Rolanxcore it's unnecessary because anything > justin beiber

[xthelostkid]

i just heard this song and i love it already!

[banginbromuffin]

i love thisss

[pinkbullet004]

love the video - nice job.

[mrteerules23]

awesome you should make more of those videos great well done

[seapockets]

lyrics are so creative

[Dox1988st]

very good song !!! <3 it !!!

[rafaelosunen]

Perfect video, congrats

[benjaminbeach]

Genius song!!!!

[MsBloggerAnonymous]

I think that video is too literal. It seems something like an actual city lacks imagination...for such vivid lyrics.

[vattnigsocka]

@MsBloggerAnonymous

Understand what you're saying (and I partially agree).

But also there is some sort of poetry in the video, especially the shots taken from the car. The 'city of electric light' becomes real, the metaphor of love stays abstract.

[MsBloggerAnonymous]

@vattnigsocka Yeah.

....Still sorta wish it wasn't ALL a city. But thanks for pointing that out.

[yuqikang]

@vattnigsocka agree..

[jokinghorsepub]

Calgary is where chad is from

[kramtwentytwo]

this song is addictive

[Goombashful]

Oh man, Chad VanGaalen is the Neil Young of the 21st century.

[Satanicuslupis]

i never thought of that comparison before, but i'd have to agree. good looks

[caitlin2489]

This is Vancouver.

[Xcalaber8]

pretty sure its vancouver

[insatiableso]

Looks like Seattle to me too. Where is it?

[brianwildemusic]

Not Seattle, but I did not see any landmarks that discredit Vancouver.

It's for sure on the West Coast though. I'd say Vancouver.

[toddums]

Chad is the man, I got all his cds

[brianwildemusic]

I think Chad is the kind of guy who can play in front of 1 or 1,000 people. I'd hope he's not playing music just for popularity and money, too good of a song writer to be.

This really is a perfect song.

[brianwildemusic]

Also, I just uploaded a video of me covering this song. I posted it as a video response to this video. If you don't see it there, you can see it as one of my most recent videos on my profile.

[lywingoth]

thats great

[Martycalmdown]

seattle?

[jgallup15]

anthropologie plays this song lol

[wktwktwkt]

Chad deserves a MUCH bigger audience than he seems to be getting.

[ALPINESWATCHES]

@wktwktwkt thats ok. personally, i prefer it that way. :)

[yuqikang]

@wktwktwkt ya i think so too, he definitely deserves a bigger audience... in fact i think he's sooo talented.. i LOVE him

[clherault]

@wktwktwkt Hahah, I guess he gets the audience he needs and not the one he deserves.

[ninawillams]

@wktwktwkt Its pretty big ;) - Ireland

[SonsOfSevenless]

@ninawillams thats what she said- england

[ninawillams]

@SonsOfSevenless shes never dat overt

[spiffing123]

As underrated as everything else is overrated

[HorrorshowDevochka]

Magical. Perfection personified. : )

[crazydiamod]

this piece has something in it .... like YES ;)) like hearts from 90125 ;)

[spenzy98]

this is such a good song cant believe it has so little views

[KSbored]

This deserves more views.

[MyChemicalAUTUMN]

Love this song. <3

[CloseTheClub]

This is very well done! What city is this?

[niagaravoices]

i wonder where this was filmed?

[sassafrazog]

Beautiful,.

[KidAveyTareA]

[mahutahu]
