Great Lake Swimmers - Your Rocky Spine

[homeypr]

No Marvyn! Thats a Bad Marvyn! Bad!

[lucripet]

What is with all of the testy little egos here. We used to live by and aspire to love and peace... Not... hate and venom. Sadly people today take themselves too seriously. Guys chill!! You are not any more special or superior than any one else. This a wonderful song. I was surprised when I heard it today. I thought that all of you young people had lost your focus on reality.

[lucripet]

A young fella at work and I had been talking about Poco, New Riders and other groups from my early daize (no sic here). I asked him if there was anything comparable today. He mentioned this singer and let me listen to this on his Ipod or pad and wow...loved it. There is hope for you young folk.

[Biggle86]

Lol, there is too much hate for such a beautiful song. GLS is just a great, easy band to listen to and talented beyond belief. Labels can go away for all I care.

[blimao86]

They are really a wonderful band and still somehow buried by the music industry and popular radio who would still have us listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young instead of Great Lake Swimmers. ...oye vey!

[minoach1960]

I love this song.The lyrics and the band are unusually moving.

[JustinAbramsmusic]

This song is awesome, great harmonies!!!!!

[smurfman95]

Pffft, Hipster Homo's

[eyetranceend]

@smurfman95 Thank God for Hipster Homos. They're a refreshing alternative to the rampant whatever you are,

[smurfman95]

@eyetranceend Rampant.....Hmm Kind of inaccurate, Fully inaccurate I might say, Music does many things, Soothes the soul, Livens it, Entices Sexual feeling, Entices feelings of love and or loss, Some music does entice aggression, I listen to The Doors, Iggy Pop(The Stooges of course),Mothers Of Invention, 13th Floor Elevators, Syd Barrett, Slim Harpo,Albert "B.B." King and I can't stand when ignorant hipsters like yourself mistake me for being a violent metal head....I'm a hippie.

[eyetranceend]

@smurfman95 I didn't mistake you for anything. I called you a "whatever you are." And boy, are you ever an arrogant asshole. Call yourself whatever you want, hippie. Hippies don't go around calling people "homos." I don't think the hippie community wants you around - perhaps as much as they didn't want Charles Manson around. You're a label junkie. If you're not sticking them on other people, you're applying directly to the forehead. Drop the hate, whatever you are. It's not hippie.

[smurfman95]

@eyetranceend Hm well you called me rampant, Far from that, I'm an arrogant asshole? Well aren't you a nice fellow :), I don't like this new Hipster classification, you all act stupid and have that weird tone like you're questioning something. Simple minded beasts who wander around at parties on Mdma while they're mind drains and their bodies hum. I'm not a label junkie, I'm just suggesting a far more accurate description then the one word you gave

[IgoorMr]

muito bom o som, da pra curti relaxando k

[Gibboentertainment]

really good! a similar artist is sun kil moon if anyone's interested

[wiesteria7xzz]

@joshcky0113

Honestly I like both.

But I agree, Breaking Bad is more intense. But there's something about that Nancy!

Also enjoy Dexter.

[OldYellowBrickss]

It's almost 3 in the morning and I just finished watching that episode of Weeds on Netflix when U-turn dies and I had to find this song.

I could not stop laughing after seeing the top comment.

[ajasha16]

@OldYellowBrickss that is so were me too but yesterday.

[itoastyourpants]

Thank god for Indie Folk <3

[lucripet]

@itoastyourpants I like your choice of names. I wish I had thought of it.

[WoofaBung]

Was driving to work one day and the radio announcer said this: "If weed is the gateway drug, and if bacon is the gateway meat, then this song is the gateway for folk music."

Made for a nice drive while watching the sun come up. Such a beautiful and captivating song.

[BadRunofLuck]

Weeds!!!!!

[meetmeincairo]

Amazing!

[TheSassynacho]

by u-turn

[Dave94Dude]

one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life

[JessiMarie8D]

wait is there red even in that bar!?

[mattc41190]

U- Turn you were a terrifying mother fucker.

[buddyboyxp]

So hauntingly beautiful.

[anaagussen]

I'm completely in love with this song... i'm totaly obsessed !!!!

[Jmathis2603]

im so obsessed with this song!

[ErickJett]

stop asking for thumbs up you douche bags.

i love Weeds not just because their great show but because of the great variety of music they open their audience to.

[keemshakes]

thumbs up if WEEDS brought you here.

[punksaregayjokes]

@keemshakes is that where i heard this song?

[AICapOWNage]

This reminds me of the time when I was listening to Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones and about this time Call of Duty Black Ops just came out. Now don't get me wrong it wasn't the first time I had ever listened to it but all of a sudden all these kids came on claiming it was black ops this black ops that and yes its easy to get pissed off about the kids who hop bandwagons especially when they claim something like "black ops made this song" or "weeds brought me here"... but who cares

[punksaregayjokes]

@AICapOWNage i knew i knew this song from somthing but i was just listing to folk on last fm and this popped up and i loved it

[gracelikesstuff]

I'm actually really glad that Great Lake Swimmers is gaining attention through Weeds. They're such a fantastic band.

[megnoggle]

there's something inherently sexy about this song...

[p0pcornsmellinpuppz]

Thumbs up for Weeds. :))

[Shaquerraify]

it doesnt matter whether you heard this song on weeds or not either way its bringin attention to the artist and more downloads on itunes >> ps i heard this on weeds.

[EvilFurbies]

replay? come on now, should they even have to ask? ;o

[33beast11]

screw those who heard it on weeds. thumbs up for those who heard it before jumping on the weeds bandwagon

[entpoopwuh1]

@33beast11 I heard this first on weeds, but I had always known the band. Either way, it's good music, and it's good that the band is gaining attention. The more attention they gain, they more people will go to their shows, and the more likely they are to make a new album with great music. It all works together.

[33beast11]

@entpoopwuh1 touche touche

[xseandepuex]

@33beast11

thumbs up for you're a douchebag.



[RichardDawk1ns]

U-Turn is dead!

[CODMW3Gameplays]

@RichardDawk1ns haha! i thought exactly the same

[oleglama]

@RichardDawk1ns How ur right ))

[EdwBel1918]

@RichardDawk1ns who is U-Turn?

[Shad0wbreaker92]

@EdwBel1918 you little motherfucker don't know who u-turn is? Shame on you! (Search for the serie "Weeds")

[EdwBel1918]

@Shad0wbreaker92 you are so immature that even in days like these you swear someone you even dont know...from internet..!? just because he doesnt know who is U-Turn...oh god! shame on YOU..i dont know who is this guy but i sure know more significant people like Martin Luther King...i hate people like you...idiot!

[Shad0wbreaker92]

@EdwBel1918 Sorry Mate, but you are an idiot... Maybe you know matin Luther, but you surely Never heard about a person called "Humour".

[EdwBel1918]

@Shad0wbreaker92 No i didnt! And dont call me mate...im a girl..and before calling me idiot firstly learn how to write the name correctly..its not matin Luther..Martin Luther King...you even dont know what he has done..now who's the IDIOT?

HAPPY NEW YEAR..

[Shad0wbreaker92]

@EdwBel1918 Why couln't i call you mate? i have also 2 names... when somebody speaks to me, he never says both... it would be some kind of wierd. Sure i know what Martin he has done. And if i wouldn't know, i would know where to find this information ;)

Jeah you 2 a happy new year ;)

[EdwBel1918]

@Shad0wbreaker92 haha ok...firstly i have the feeling that the mate is somekind the buddy which remind me guys..boys are called mates...or buddies..secondly what are your 2 names?..and thirdly i love to feel that im playing in an old vintage 20's film..feels like differing from this world.. :)

[snapeing]

[LPSpeppers]

I love how this was used in Weeds. 

[fosfo1985]

amazing



[Mynamesnigel]

is this folk indie

[morbitron6]

@Mynamesnigel Its called music Nigel. People make it on instruments and sing along and stuff. Its neat.

[Mynamesnigel]

@morbitron6 What is the genre? Smartass.

[DiEGiPsHaNd]

@Mynamesnigel for me it carries a strong resemblence to traditional folk music

[rhcppetar95]

@Mynamesnigel sort of

[sue345sue]

Love it!!!

[Abbytater]

This is just... SO GOOD.

[InEverySunset]

fucking amazing

[SaraSousa06]

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT

[quantomintomentum]

Anyone got any idea of a banjo tab for this? I don't think the video is totally accurate for the banjo guy...

[Spicer24]

0:00 Good tams.

[rock0052]

Who else found this watching Weeds on netflix? lol

[erod4489]

Awesome lyrics. Reminds me of Jimmy Dale Gilmore's brilliant "Tonight I Think I'm gonna go Downtown".

[ktxlld]

This song is brilliant. 

[AmbrineYeah]

what a voice :o

[StickyLaRue1]

Did any one else think John Denver as soon as this song started? Or is it just me?

[Drammargirl]

139617? Do people not appreciate good music? This is priceless!

[TheAmbiguousTree]

@Drammargirl ... so you're just throwing that number out there? You'e going to be THAT girl.

[SoIncrediblyHigh]

@TheAmbiguousTree

I'm gonna guess there were 139,617 views on the video at the time that she wrote that comment. Also, no clue as to what point you're trying to make with your comment.

[Drammargirl]

@Drammargirl Which girl? :(

[kurtwthiele]

zach galifianakis in a folk band? dope.

[Nejiboud]

Heard this on Weed, it was great!

[emowithbridge]

"I was moving across your frozen veneer

The sky was dark but you were clear" <3

[vanatoru14]

WEEDS!

[twirmd]

From the time Weeds was still good.

[quantomintomentum]

Does anyone know if there are banjo tabs for this? I really want to learn it. Not guitar, BANJO tabs.

[Whaaaaaaattt]

What a pretty song.

[piimposuarus840]

R.I.P. U-Turn

[mikkyjoe976]

If you like Great Lake Swimmers then you might like FOSSIL COLLECTIVE - they've got a really nice animated vid called ON & ON. Check it out on youtube

[williamrlumpp1989]

this song gives me shivers, and i'm a guy. my girlfriend loves it too. this song is perfect

[fleetwoodmacathon]

What a great voice, great sound. Want to hear more.

[FakeApology]

This song reminds me of "Willie, Waylon, and Me" by David Allen Coe. Lot less harsh, though.

[arumrunner]

You guys keep it up, it's also nice to see you playing a Canadian made instrument, the Seagull S6.

TheRumRunner

[JJimHuinink]

Ho-o-o-o-o-olee crap, Canada has some amazing music. I must find out ways in which to support this band.

[GraceEllen22]

[alianlouie]

[lilyrosepudge]

[priv8guy]

[AggieMarine2]

THIS SONG NEEDS MOAR LADY GAGAAAAAAAAAA REMIX

[cdforshee]

@AggieMarine2 Lady Gag Me With A Shovel

[lizzaytrick]

Music like this makes me feel like theres still hope out there somewhere in the world. Regardless of how many times Lady GaGa Pops up on TV and how many stupid awards she receives .

[soldieronedge1]

@holinesschild89 me to this song is awesome

[mallorythebandgeek]

Two people MUST have missed the "like" button :P

[fish30222]

[guitarguyjeremy619]

god....i am not good enough to be graced with the sound of such awesome music... i cry every time i listen to this song

[itzelm1224]

[0MGZz]

stumbled upon them looking for "Silent Film Music: for my media assignment...

came across "Moving Pictures, Silent Films"

...love at first strum <3

[potheadfarmer]

it was U Turns fairwell song R.I.P.

[mwtillotson]

The kind of indie music which will attract a disproportionally female audience. Decent lyrics, optimistic sound, deliberately (affectatiously) indie.

[jenlaben]

I just heard it on Weeds too, it's beautiful. I wish it were longer :(

[alitska]

Me too! I heard this song on WEEDS so I used my Shazam on Iphon to see who it was. Just love it!!! Fall in love with this song:))))

[itzelm1224]

i memorized a few lyrics of this song and tried looking for it for over a year now and i just now found it!!! WOW the wait was worth it!!!

[niggeaaaa]

i ALWAYS forget how this song goes. and then i listen to it and i feel like a dumbass for forgetting this masterpiece

[dissembled]

just wonderful.

[milkmit]

I'm not sure it gets any better than this.

[laurenmillevoi]

if only i could explain how much i love this, i just wanna listen to it with a whole bunch of people, smile, laugh & everyone to feel great.

[Blissfallen]

[BrorZone]

[booneruston1]

great lake swimmers is one of the few bands that is keeping good music alive today. simple as that.

[mickmars51]

That one person who disliked this video is a total fuck.

This music is so beautiful! I love it! <3 <3

[EllistheScout1015]

RIP U Turn~

It took me forever to find this song man, I love it!

[milan20050]

First time I heard this song was in the movie "Chloe" and it distracted me completely from the movie. I had to pause it and google this song. Totally amazing, soundtrack of this summer for me. :)))

[rabbitwho]

Neil Young and Alisson Krauss! Gorgeous, if I could wake up and play any instrument it would be the banjo.

[jimmyhoye94]

[HomespunLace]

I heard this song at the end of a "Weeds" episode. For that, I am forever grateful. This gives me some hope for newer music ";^)

[allisograceful]

@HomespunLace i heard it on weeds too! this song is amaaaazing :]

[alanagadea]

Essa musica é linda...

[WesFX7]

I have fallen deeply in love with this group. They are so authentic and earthy. The song does not need an accordian. It already has several lovely instruments and is perfect, in my opinion as is.

[billytalentiiialbum]

@WesFX7 thats no problem your just gay

[MattyTheMole]

This song needs an Accordian

[94559lolo]

[louisvillebmxr]

Love this song. Great band. They're playing here in Louisville Kentucky tonight at a free outdoors event! :]
