The Beta Band - Dry The Rain

[myepicmoustache]

@everyone, all this bickering will become irrelevant when there are no more music stores in the computer age. I bought this cd at at Music Den, a small music store in the 90s just like the store in high fidelity that is now a Quiznos. I loved looking for hidden gems in that store but that is a thing of the past now...

[BrokenFourthWall]

@leecooker she was just quoting a movie line and you took it as her personal opinions and have made yourself look like a tool on the Internet, well done sir. This shall be here forever.

[Audiablorecords]

Sure is the greatest thing since the last

[MarcSavard91]

I think this album changed my life

[infallibleineffable]

Thumbs up if you always click thumbs down to any comment begging for a thumbs up!

Oh, wait a minute...

[quidseeker]

Thumbs up if you'd love to see a High Fidelity 2!!!

[mgk12341]

i just watched HIGH FIDELITY!

[MrMosquitose]

:megusta:



[moria06]

"I agreed that what really matters is what you like, not what you are like... Books, records, films - these things matter. Call me shallow but it's the fuckin' truth"

[leecooker]

@moria06 Its not shallow, but a totally unprovable phenomenon that is a very fascinating trait amongst humans. We judge each other on matters of taste regularly. However, since taste is 100% subjective, forming grander, more provable, evidential, and qualitative arguments about taste, beyond "I think this is good or I think this sucks" is totally impossible.

[moria06]

@leecooker did u notice that what i wrote was in quotations? it's a direct line from the movie High Fidelity, which this song was featured in.  Get over yourself Socrates.

[leecooker]

@moria06 Says the girl who judges people based on their tastes. Brilliant, amirite?

[theweelassie]

30 people can stay outside and get fucking soaked.

[Hassler247]

@theweelassie LMAO!!

[Karaiq]

It would be so great that were would be more "music film", making people know what real music is, making you fly above the sky among clouds...

[queeneggplant]

can see what inspired Beck.

[Revidescent84]

@queeneggplant lol Beck Hanson was cranking stuff out a good five, almost 10 years before Beta Band :) I would say it's the other way around. But hey, that's why I love this song. We need Brit Pop back!

[Barret2101]

so go leit it outtttttttttttttt so go let it innn

[Maceman1990]

High Fidelity was wow... Just checked it out, on a point I thought movies wouldn't surprise me anymore, new good music wasn't there to be found and then it hit me!

[victorianrobot]

When I make a list of favorite parts of songs, 4:08 onward from this will be at the top of the list.

[RyanDMcAfee]

Who listened this song on ecstasy?

[thehoeks]

This is my favourite song from any band that almost no one has heard of.

[hobbitonman]

this feels like beck

[fishtacosalad]

@hobbitonman Ditto!Jinks

[fishtacosalad]

Respond to this video...  Totally!

[TriH4rdGaming]

MONTAGE MADNESS NA

[joannaa25]

john cusack tweeting this makes me feel like life is alright

[locutus625]

Cusack just tweeted this song, AWESOME

[Cookster5]

This isn't sad bastard music!

[Isaleao88]

the bassline is hypnotizing

[MaxClancy]

Miss them!

[dhashdash]

why/how are there any dislikes to this?

[ART1E057]

If you ever find yourself in the middle of a desert, just remember: be. yourself.

[TheBachedPotato]

"I will now sell five copies of the 3 EPs by the Beta Band."

[NezbitOfficialBand]

@TheBachedPotato Do it.

[TbTReviews]

I want to convert this song into food and eat it for every meal for the rest of my life.

[ABlissfulRainbow]

@TbTReviews LOL...cheers, that made me chuckle! I think I may steal this but not claim it as my own :P

[aupsychobilly]

I will sell four copies of the the Three EP's by the Beta Band

[Neko91485]

I will now sell the Three EPs by the Beta Band...

[teleuitzetter]

I'd put this on juke box!

[forthelulz32]

This reminds me of Okinawa.

[zanzibar79]

02:10 Lift off.

[poshi12]

Timeless tune,yeah? This reminds me of the good times when me and the boys wold raid McLaren and we would Find a log to smoke a joint or ten on. To be a kid again.

[Theapeinacrate76]

One the better song to get high with:) P

[fingerboardingfool]

Thumbs up if you heard this in high fidelity

[theocruz02]

@fingerboardingfool I think that at leats 80% around the world listen this song first in this great movie. Anyway, Beta Band goes far beyond this and, for sure, is a great band!

[SPICESMUGGLER71]

The song just sounds...important.

[agoodud]

hipsters and hippies are not the same. both are annoying but hipsters are far more sinister

[ridetotheright1]

An amazing song that should have gotten more attention!

[knightrous21]

Take me in and dry the rain...

[bellcolter5]

Like if this music makes you chill :I

[garali1973]

Was this band scottish?

[Applemask]

@garali1973 Yes

[softballhottie671993]

@enochjames No. A hipster is someone who purposely likes odd things to try to seem different. They are people looking for attention. There's nothing classy about it. And who the hell forgot about wine? Liking wine doesn't make someone a hipster. You're delusional.

[NadsForSure]

Wow, great stuff. Chill tune

[igallagher4]

Ha ha. Somehow I don't think a hipster can be compared to a punk.

[enochjames]

Honestly, hipster is just like hippie, beatnick, punk. The people who hate them have always been the jerkoffs of history. They can't understand how we like these strange fashions, or these strange new songs fun to listen too.

Hipsters are taking things people forgot in other decades and showing them love. Hipsters are a classy culture who appreciates all the good stuff people forgot, like wines, nice and/or offbeat and/or handmade clothes, hats, music art and cinema. I'm proud to be a hipster.

[KingLegendary1]

@enochjames wine isn't forgotten your no hipster your just a loser

[LVKcrew]

@enochjames i wish i knew what youre talking about, nothing in here describes a hipster. Also, when did wine become forgotten? And i feel offended, for the true hippies out there. Your are crazy.

[TheTyaptyap]

@enochjames sorry dont mean to burst your bubble but hipsters, like all those genres you mentioned, could only appear in time periods in which they appeared. You cant be a hipster, but you CAN really dig hipster music.

[loveminushazel]

i cant get enough of this song....

[FallenEnix1]

how does anyone find this song to be "the shit". any garage band could come up with this garbage

[kemchobhenchod]

how am i just now finding this song?

definitely how i feel right now.

[thegolfguy1234567]

Still not sick of this song.

[andmaketherain]

This live version is also great /watch?v=0s5xnh6t-wE

[rapidfirerancid]

This takes me back, Good ol' days in a smokey haze! Beautiful..

[SarVlaxius]

EP sold me about 6 bands tonight and it's the shit :)

[MrFezDawg]

hutch you have brought amazing music to my ears.

[Grungedude93]

this is probably the chillest song ive ever heard

[MyAwesomenessEquals9]

ha my friend showed me this

it sucks it is way too slow

way too slow

[rnrdemon]

Pretty sure they sold AT LEAST five copies after the movie "High Fidelity" came into the cinemas. I bought one!

[fininif]

25 people must be tone deaf

[dfordens]

If this song was made by the betales it would have been considered as an all time classic!!! Everytime I listen to it I remember the great time I have living in UK.

Greetings from spain

[SuperPillboxhat]

just heard this song on high fidelity great song and good band, cant beileve iv never heard of them before being scottish n all

[JamesJoyce12]

Did it ever occur to any of you that its use in the movie is ironic... ie. it is mocking the hipster ethos that loves the song in the first place??!! lol

[Dartwith]

@JamesJoyce12 yes sir but beta band is some soothing shit, which is why its featured in a movie about heart break and awesome tunes

[TheAwesomeBomb]

@JamesJoyce12 The fact that you used "ethos" in a comment on youtube proves that you are a hipster.

[shamuscolemanfanclub]

@JamesJoyce12 Why? What the fuck's wrong with being a hipster! I on the other hand heard this song because i actually liked the band when they were around. These shite american films put these songs on as a way of trying to be funny and also because they know they can pay the band peanuts in the process in a look at us were so clever kind of way. I had the same arguement over the pulp song like a friend. Loads of venture bros kids writing in cos they heard it on a kids tv show. Get tired of it!

[roosterteethrulz]

Hutch brought me here

[Bonnie2142]

This is amazing.

[DomSaget]

It's good... I know

[RavenFisher]

just finished High Fidelity...So glad this is a real song.

[Citrus3000]

@RavenFisher

I'm sad that "I sold my mons wheelchair" isn't real :(

[rnrdemon]

@Citrus3000

Oh, it actually is: The song is by the band Royal Trux and it's called "Inside Game". You'll find it on the High Fidelity soundtrack as well as on the EP "Radio Video".

[Citrus3000]

@rnrdemon

OH MY GOD THANK YOU, I SEARCHED FOR THIS SONG FOR 2 YEARS NOW. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[rnrdemon]

@Citrus3000

You're welcome. Just check the soundtracks of movies you watch, you'll be surprised how easy it sometimes gets to find the songs you're looking for ;-D

An easy way to get a lot of infos is to search discogs.com, and of course wikipedia (the english site often has tracklists of songs that were in a movie or on the soundtrack or at least shows some links to other sites).

[lovemygreensable]

thank you john cusack and jack black for this gem, loving this song, always have.

[Citrus3000]

@lovemygreensable

Thank Nick Hornby :)

[muckyeye]

Best song ever written, choking on the little blue tablets.............mine are white-same shite, fuck it all.

[eliotryan]

I listen to this song every day and it never gets old. Not even a year later.

[PinayRandy69]

Sounds like Beck

[mrdannygoon]

@PinayRandy69 Only a little less weird. ;)

[BigIainy]

Aye!!!!,just Aye!!!!!

[MarcSavard91]

take me in and dry the rain

[dontsayneverman]

Lying on my back in the desert, looking at the deep blue sky with no clouds in it, a warm breeze shifting the sands, rising the dust. Shadow of a cactus on my eyes, the flower of this cactus visible as I look at the sky. A lizard sitting on a rock not far, warming itself. Just lying there,doing nothing, breathing in the hot air, feeling the world and the nothingness.

This is what this song makes me feel like.

[nareg657]

@dontsayneverman this

[AreaCode978]

@dontsayneverman Nice.

[TheTyaptyap]

@dontsayneverman dont forget to mention the big scoob you've just downed.

[dontsayneverman]

@TheTyaptyap wanna know the truth? I don't get it. I'm not from America so please use language that I can understand.

[DrRobert73]

@dontsayneverman really great flaco!

[captaintugwash]

This song is truly special.

[olman18]

i clicked play and my jaw dropped. speechless.

[olman18]

i clicked play and my jaw dropped. speechless.

[RoseMarieW27]

Reminds me of Beck SO much.

[LOLNOOBCAKES]

I picture, a hot day in summer. Nothing to do, staring out in the blue. Sitting on the porch with nothing but a cup of lemonade and a dog.

[PeteforPrez]

i'm gonna become a drummer because of this song

[psncoolpjhq]

Listen to this @ 730 Am on the Sunday Morning while driving on the country side :)

[hosselol]

@psncoolpjhq yeah, but just when i dream about it...

[richievegas01]

Wonder how many views this would have if it hadn't been featured on 'High Fidelity'? Prob less than half. Being on the soundtrack to a classic film never hurts. These guys were hailed as the future of music by the NME when they emerged in 1999, which they obviosuly weren't. Still, great song, none of their others come anywhere close to this.

[Damirness]

hey everybody I made a music video for The Beta Band song "It's over" --check it out!

[egondog]

25 people.... :((((((

[TheGolfguy123456]

Stressful day? Take a dose of dried rain. ;)

[TheButlerDidIt81]

This song reminds me of all that I never had and could have remembered more indepth: a sister and brother in law that are now in Eastern Europethat I may never get to see again, a potential girl that I shoul have wooed when I had the chance and life opportunities in general that were pushed aside and snuffed.

[AreaCode978]

This is really good stuff.

[thegolfguy1234567]

This song is so...real. Unlike rap.

[soulas126]

@thegolfguy1234567

Correction, MOST rap and hip hop (read mainstream)

[thegolfguy1234567]

@soulas126 Yeah, I like some rap. Kid Cudi is ok, Drake, other than that though...

[mickdimas]

+0p$#!+ Heard this song on the radio today and made me miss my brother, DJ who passed nearly 10 years ago. His birthday is the day after tomorrow and I will be thinking of him all day and wishing he could hear some new music that I like these days.

[somefucktupshit]

@mickdimas sorry about your brother boss...its funny how songs can trigger emotions like that. every time i hear this song it reminds me of drinking beer with my dad and uncles, getting hammered at the bonne carre spillway in louisiana. all three of them are deceased and i think of them every time i hear this song

[gkaplan2000]

i will be your light, i will be your light, i will be your light, i will be your light

[andmaketherain]

@gkaplan2000 I will be alright ;-)

[CalandrielAurealin]

@andmaketherain I didn't know the name of the song at first and so I thought it was "Take me and drive away," until I listened a little more carefully.

[lonewolfspartan100]

Oasis rip off

[warlockboyburns]

@lonewolfspartan100 weirdo..

[thegolfguy1234567]

Ok, within the last month I've listend to this song about 100 times? I'm not obsessive, this song is just the shit, man.

[junkdevil1]

@thegolfguy1234567 me too, its truly uplifting, i can help playing it as soon as i log on.peace.

[junkdevil1]

@thegolfguy1234567 me too, its truly uplifting, i cant help playing it as soon as i log on.peace.

[ajcruz1212]

Man you took the words right out of my mouth...I was literally gonna type "this song is the shit." Kindred soul, my man.

[lizooooo]

:)

[nevermore221]

Haha I heard this in High Fidelity and then the next day at Chipotle

[MarcSavard91]

420 :)

[TheMelancholyHero]

Easily one of my favourite songs, I mean I know it's nothing genre defying or groundbreaking but this song, it's just gorgeous and I feel so relaxed when I hear it :P

[mavied26]

First heard this song on High Fidelity. They've got a nice sound

[rlwnek]

just shout with me

"AWESOME!!!!!!"

[superducktapeman]

146 views are me coming back to listen to it again

[thegolfguy1234567]

The insturmentals in this song are amazing.

[DaBirdSmasha]

MONTAGE MADNESS.

[iambenellis]

@3:19 - BEST BASS LINE EVER

[thegolfguy1234567]

@iambenellis 3:19 to the end is the best part, I believe.

[joshlee6420]

@thegolfguy1234567 the jam, hell yeah

[bodgeman2000]

@iambenellis Cheers... thats me that is! ...me playing the bass, like I knew what I was doing... ha! ....good times!

[iambenellis]

@bodgeman2000 hahaha, sweet man, you should teach me ;)

[surfwaxamerica333]

"im going to sell 5 of the beta bands 3 EP's"

"do it"

[JDnBeastlet]

@surfwaxamerica333

"I'm going to sell five of the Beta Band's 3 EPs"

[ChristianSchock]

@surfwaxamerica333 More like...."I will now sell 5 copies of the the 3 EP's by The Beta Band."

[WTFA54]

@ChristianSchock Funny that his quoting of High Fidelity wasn't very accurate :P

[klx134sm]

Heard this at Chiotle.. Double wrap, Double Chicken

[AnEarthPilot]

cerebrus and golf guy: get a room already

[rockpatat]

damn I still listen to this song since I have seen the video thanks too Hutch:P

[MrGreekstatue]

Another great Scottish band from Fife.

[MrGreekstatue]

Yet another grand band from Edinburgh.

[SilkiSULL27]

Listening to this song baked as hell makes it a million times better

[skillswilson7]

Lol at the Comment war :P

[thegolfguy1234567]

@skillswilson7 I know, that was so dumb. Fighting over the internet; I'm still laughing at myself.

[blahblah9615]

I had the best poop ever......

[draagon23]

These guys be mad.

[scartledgefb]

i cant believe there's been a full blown argument about thumbs up. i think you both need to take a step back.

(i cant stop coming back to this song. it's gorgeous.)

personally i dont care if you give this comment a thumbs up or just stick your thumb up your own arse, it'll have the same impact on everyone elses life.

[thegolfguy1234567]

Hutch has great taste in music. And great gameplay too.

[MammothWooly]

@ironfistfury2009 Hes a guy that makes Call of Duty videos and puts them on the internet.

[CptBadAsA55]

@MammothWooly lol at taking his "copyrighted" intro

[ironfistfury2009]

who the hell is hutch?

[CptBadAsA55]

favourite part 4:05 - 6:06 :)

[karlskem1]

im loving this song!!!

[iFurey]

Yes, hutch sent me but damn this song is nice.

[thegolfguy1234567]

@iFurey It's a great song. I'm glad I watched that video. 73-1.

[rymeryme]

@thegolfguy1234567 same!

[thegolfguy1234567]

@rymeryme Yeah, at the beginning I was like, "Boring." But this was a great song; especially towards the end.

[Pantedine]

@iFurey wtf? how did hutch send u?

[RandomHeroNero]

@Pantedine fed-ex

[jdpguard222]

nice song hutch... love the new channel with  jus music. its nice to change it up once in a while
