Said The Whale - Curse of the Currents

[a2canadian]

They bought those costumes for "This City's a Mess" and then were like... crap... guess we have to use these in all our videos or else we are out $500 for a 3 minute song.

Suggestion: They should have stolen a qwachi costume before they all landed in the "BC bonfire of broken dreams"

Anyways... this song is great. Much love for cursing the currents that towed away my favourite frisbee one fateful day in 1996.

[CameronJantzi]

Canadian Indie scene is growing :3 LOVE IT

[ytismylife]

this is so good

[defusious]

Has anyone else listened to this song? Because I'm pretty sure I'm just about 138,995 views in..

[inalivingdream]

I got a cowichan sweater because of this video... and because it's freaking cold in Canada

[suckmypencil1962]

Are they not rowing the wrong way? :P

[TateOfBass]

@suckmypencil1962 umm no thats how you row

[twistedlogiclistener]

[Beechex115]

Subtle moose...

[gdhanna1995]

Its people like this that make me proud to be from Vancouver<3

[lauraseal2]

They really got their money's worth out of those animal costumes, didn't they?

[Elrion9]

[markface9]

such a beautiful and somber song... still gives me chills when i hear it. amazing video too... fits the song perfectly.

[HowlinForMusic]

this song is soo good..... but soo unbelievably sad... i hope this isn't a real experiance.

[FuManchuHarbers001]

holy eargasm! I would like theyre penis's in and around my mouth

[mattcharlton06]

what the hell. 10 dislikes? i dont understand

[GraceFaceDisgrace]

the lead singer was my instructor at my summer camp before , reppin vancitty

[HappyEmo643]

This is so sad, is it true that this was his actual experience?

[leylaloves]

met the hottest guy singing this song <3

i imediatly knew he was amazing

[HeRvEiNyA69]

Ten ignorant people who don't know what true music is don't like this art.

[Extraabsorbant]

@mooncitrus1756

There is actually some very good mainstream, if you choose to sift through the crappy mainstream.

One example has to be Adele, that woman's got talent.

But yeah, I will agree with you that a lot of popular music is easy to get bored of.

[sommervilleTRS117]

@Extraabsorbant adele is nt main stream, they play like one song by her on radio .

[MrNickSwift]

@sommervilleTRS117 I hate to tell you, but Adele is definitely Mainstream.

[FagsofTheeCenturY]

@undercoverkirsten LOL I totally forgot the answer to that.. D:

[tballz22]

Heartstrings = pulled.

[runnerkidpunk]

You know its canadian when they tell you its from the 'starboard side' of a 'tugboat' ;)

Fuck, i love being canadian

[TheBeatles193]

@runnerkidpunk Another indicator is perhaps the way they're dressed! Classic. You gotta love the Canadian style.

[G0odf3lla]

@runnerkidpunk stop masturbating.

[jcblandford]

@runnerkidpunk I'm pretty sure those are both universally recognized terms in boating:3 I use them both whenever I'm on the water.

[defusious]

@runnerkidpunk That's a universal shipping term.

[FagsofTheeCenturY]

<3 them. Saw you at Stanley Park

[undercoverkirsten]

@FagsofTheeCenturY me too. it was so goood :) haha what do you say when you see a coyote?
