Strawberry Hill - Red House Painters

[RollersPostulate]

The off setting guitar at the beginning is somewhat... unsettling to the atmosphere of the pic. I love it!

[SimMaster]

One of the best songs i've ever heard

[Sparrowhawk2000]

Mark is one of the best songwriters of our age. He is underrated and overlooked. Unfortunately it might take his death after a years of writing for people to get it. He is beyond anything that has been to date. This song still moves me in a way that know other does.

[MegaDisgustipated]

it's a shame they don't play together anymore

[utuber2]

Wow, Uplifting song.

[ahemahemhello]

Wow, Depressing song. 

[lyonslaforet]

Rollercoaster is among the most underrated albums released in 1993. Red House Painters deserves to be more known and they are a perfect ambassy for melancholia!

[ufohunterornot]

The Cure?

[skateNappreciate]

this band is fucking raw, i bet the vocalist busts ass and tearducts writing the lyrics and melodys to these songs

[trevorgarford1]

totally forgot bout this album. YYYAAA. This is a great album alright.

[TheSolarCompromise]

petty queer arguments on all the good videos, why?? this song is so good

[guitar19904]

underrated band. they should be proud of their work

[guitar19904]

LOVE THIS FUCKING BAND

[JackBz]

The line "And have I told you how I love her?" in this song always gets to me. One of the best songs from possibly the greatest album ever (tied with Down Colorful Hill for me)

[futuristfood]

brilliant melancholy..

[interista7435]

Capolavoro immane.

[MIIIIIIIIIIII3]

Words cannot describe this beauty.

[the0man0in0the0mask]

Epic Groove

[Tiagonsbc]

For me also the best RHP music ever... from an hardcore fan with all the albums and that had the opportunity to see him twice in Portugal

[AuthenticCelestial]

the best RHP song. for sure. it feels like opening curtains and feeling the sun after deep isolation...the light at the end of the catharsis.

[hauntedballroom]

Amazing song. Who is giving all the thumbs down???

[Naroon201]

Some commoner who found this song and can't believe it's better than all the Commoner Rock he listens to, such as Fall Out Boy and Lady Gaga.

[hauntedballroom]

Well then he should be happy he has been lucky enough to find this band.

[dago00]

@Naroon201 lady gaga, omg rotfl

[keke3992]

@Naroon201 who are you to have a youtube account and call other people commoners god you're a fucking retard

[peainapodtube]

@keke3992 keke and naroon, why must your strawberries be so sad?

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 I love this song, too, but you're seriously sounding like a pretentious asshole. "Commoner"? Really?

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Where I'm from, "commoner" is used as a generic insult. Same thing as "fucker" or "asshole", etc. It's not the same meaning as one would use in terms of social classes or anything. Alas, I don't really care if you or anyone else likes this song or approves of my use of local slang. Fuck off.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 Where exactly are you from? Is "commoner" used more often in a different language that you natively speak? If I take the time to insult something in another language, I usually also take the time to learn what connotations a word has so I'm not just blindly making myself look like an elistist prick. But hey, you're apparently entitled to spouting off your opinion while nobody else is, so I guess I'm completely invalidated here.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Everyone here knows what the original meaning is. It's irrelevant. It's like someone pointing out that calling someone a bastard might not make sense because the guy might actually still have a father. I also never said anyone was disallowed from giving their opinion, so I dunno where you got that from.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 "Alas, I don't really care if you or anyone else likes this song or approves of my use of local slang. Fuck off." Yeah, that's real inviting to discussion, huh? By the way, I have no idea what your response to my statement was. All you've done is start whining that "commoner" is a generic insult and you're not elitist for using it. Just show me where "commoner" is considered a generic insult and I'll accept it; otherwise, stop acting like you're a member of some musicial elite.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Since when was I some musical dictator of devastation? Just because I say I don't care what you think doesn't mean you're not allowed to say anything anyway. I don't have any power over you, goddamn. How am I supposed to "show you" that it's a generic insult? Link you to a message board or make a video of me saying it? Get real. Just because I call someone something for listening to what I deem garbage means shit. If people get butthurt, that's THEIR problem.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 Um, no. You could just tell me where you're from. You could show me a webpage from a reputable source indicating that "commoner" is considered a generic insult there. You could also just own up to the fact that eleven months ago you acted like an elitist prick and you've recently tried to worm your way out of it. Moral of the story: Don't call people "commoners" because they don't like the music you like, you complete moron! Call them assholes or shitheads or something! Jesus.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 ROFL! I'm from Louisiana, not gonna say the town so I don't get potentially stalked. "Commoner" is a common insult here. Hell, there's even several entries on UD for "commoner" and its plural form. It's not my problem if you approve of what I said or if you think I come off as elitist. Why you even care this much is beyond me, but it's your life. And I (and my friends) still use this word to this day. Deal with it, commoner.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 UD says that commoner means exactly what commoner means everywhere else. In fact, the first few entries are all written in a style suggesting people who seriously say it are arrogant cretins. Really, man? That's not "generic". If you use it a lot, that just means you're very elitist instead of mostly elitist. And... broseph? Nobody wants to stalk a whiny Internet cunt who considers other people beneath him, especially not one who brags about how "awesome" he is everywhere he goes.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Lmao! People like you are way too easy to troll. You've gotten all riled up over nothing. Who the hell is "broseph" and when did I brag about being awesome? Evidently the two definitions I referenced got taken down recently, but at least the plural form is closer to the way we use it here. Also, don't try to lecture me on why you don't wanna stalk someone when you're giving me tons of attention and basically feeding the troll in the process. Commoner.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 It's pretty hilarious that you're honestly trying to say that you're trolling. You mentioned that you're awesome on your profile, and every other profile you have, in fact. Newsflash: Talking with someone is not stalking them, losing an argument isn't trolling, and there is a thing called "Google" that allows people to look up words. Crazy, I know. But hey, I'm only telling you all this so you don't end up getting your ass kicked one day when you mouth off to the wrong person.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 Also, dude? Stop being a whiny baby on the Internet because someone called you on acting like you're a fuckin' king in the Middle Ages.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 You're the one cryin' to ME over one slang word, because you just can't believe that someone would take an archaic word and use it offensively today? You ARE being trolled if you really got so e-intimidated that you replied 500 times over something so TRIVIAL. "Every profile [I] have"? I have tons of profiles on different sites and this is like, the only one that even says that, lmao! I didn't lose any e-argument here. You just ain't got it, kid.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 Hahaha, shit. You mean besides your Wikipedia profile, which is entirely you talking in a repugnantly arrogant tone about how awesome you are and how great at video games you are? Man, talking on the Internet ain't "cryin'", and considering the vocabulary you've been using through this argument, you're pretty clearly a teenaged pseudo-4channer who makes up obnoxious slang and bitches when people say you sound retarded for doing it. Nobody likes you. See you around. <3

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Even on this site I never said I was "awesome." And 4-chan? If anyone's from there, it's YOU, using some lame-ass line like "no one likes you" when you don't know shit about my actual life. That's just hilarious. Because you don't like me, that means you're the whole world? Simple logic there, kiddo. Oh, and you're cryin'. I mean, I got you to keep replying and you keep giving me attention, so what else is there? Keep it up.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 Your profile is entirely you talking about "awesome" things. You know why you come across as so much a cock, besides using snotty words? It's because you're seriously trying to make the argument "you are arguing with me, therefore I can just go ITS THE INTERNET IM JUS TROLLIN BRO LMAO and win!!". Everything you've said so far is moronic. Just stop talking already and leave this song's page free from your arrogant presence.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Everything you say is just you goin' "mah feelinz r hurt cuz u look arrogant on da net d00d!!one1" The word "awesome" is written twice and it's used to describe 1) the contents of my channel and 2) the stuff I'm into. What, if I say "This channel mostly has a buncha garbage in it" would it really make people feel like they should be there? Lmao, common sense: you have none.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 Also, "commoner" is not an archaic word. It is an obnoxious word, and by using it, you are being obnoxious.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Maybe so, but I'm not here to please you.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 Oh, and the second you go "I'm not here to please you", you've proven yourself to be an elitist asshole. Go wank alone and cry about how the mean, filthy peasant insulted your online reputation. Fuckin' commoner.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 LOLWAT? That's just a nicer way to say "I don't care what you fucking think, therefore I'll say what I want." I don't care about any e-rep since I don't worship the internet. Look how you're raging your ass off here. Just stop and look at how ridiculous you sound right now. It's like you're a butthurt 12-year old who just HAS to keep talkin' even when the discussion is over.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 "LOLWAT", the constant references to trolling, no, you're from 4chan. For all your constant whining about how you want me to leave you alone to your own SO FUKKEN AWESOME pursuits, you're responding to me an awful lot, huh? Look, all I wanted to say was that you're an elitist asshole and you should stop acting like one, because it makes people hate you. I don't care anymore. Have fun masturbating over your awesome vidya gamez and your retarded personal slang. kthxbye mudkips loolllol

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 I'm not from 4chan or /b/ or any of that shit. But some of my e-friends are. It's too bad that you think that, but this debate is pointless since we're just repeating the same fucking thing over and over. And plus, when people come here and decide to read the comments, all they'll see is this riffraff here.

[Vivendium44]

@Naroon201 We've just got to agree to disagree.

Commoner.

[Naroon201]

@Vivendium44 Alright, later commoner.

[gnop42]

Wow longest argument in youtube comments history lol

[sbandy45]

@hauntedballroom

someone deeply tormented by this song

[spacecadet1869]

@hauntedballroom the 7 morons :p

[iloveweed5329]

isnt there a song named strawberry hill or something by the beatles???

[MorrowJ]

The song you're thinking of is actually Strawberry Fields by the Beatles. Also good stuff in a different kind of mood.

[breeeegs]

The Beatles song is called Strawberry Fields

[sucramnormark]

Strawberry fields, yeah

[mbrown28820]

Its a masterpiece for sure. Song of the decade.

[Naroon201]

Holy shit. Listen to the lyrics. This is ridiculous. Shoegaze/slowcore at it's finest... Whatever and however you want to categorize the band.

[sucramnormark]

I agree. This is one of those song that blows you away at first listen

[Krondel]

we need more bands like this one.

[sonicjoydivisonswans]

I got to get this album! I love this song, thanks so much for putting this up!!!

[HamburgerMartyr]

hey sonicjoydivisonswans, nice to see you like the red house painters!

[sonicjoydivisonswans]

Yeah, they're one of my favorite bands, I'd say Down Colorful Hill and their second album are flawless. I need to get more really.

[HamburgerMartyr]

Agreed. "Ocean Beach" is great too, I'd rank right up there with those two. Sun Kil Moon's "Ghost of the Great Highway" is also pretty great

[sonicjoydivisonswans]

@HamburgerMartyr Thanks, They're one of my favorite bands.
