10 - Noah And The Whale - Mary

[gratis1995]

the bitch

[awalker41297]

This song makes you feel happy inside, but at the same time reminds you that life can be a bitch. Still, i love a bit of Noah and the Whale any time!

[HouseofETL]

[adolfhitlerz]

Didn't they steal this tune from Jonathan Richman's That Summer Feeling?

[druggieboy2]

@adolfhitlerz I was listening to that song for the first time and had the incredibly annoying feeling you get when you can't remember what song it was reminding you of, ended up here, main melody's pretty damn similar though they're both great

[987sophie]

I'm learning this on the tin whistle, it's such a beautiful song

[jakejammin11]

this band can do no wrong. ever :)

[Flutterflut89]

this song makes me giggle when he sings "when i last saw Mary, she lied and said it was her Birthday" X

[professorJacqui]

Hey, be happy your super cool indie band made it mainstream. If you really liked them you'd want them to make more money, and have more fans. Its better than scoffing at people who you think aren't as good as you because they listen to more popular music. Guh, how to hipsters even work?

oh by the way,

I love this song.

[sschat]

thanks for becoming "mainstream"!

[ptfcblack10]

i was gonna give this song a thumbs up but it already had 69 so i left it

[drdanisuess]

@ptfcblack10 It was just 99 and I hadn't liked it yet, so I liked it. =] Though maybe 99 is cooler than 100.

[ropsidropsipepsi]

i just loooooooooooooove it!!!!!!

[ciallkennett]

I love how they have different versions of some of their songs. So you get different perspectives. As well as how they incorporate lyrics from their other songs into them

[bioneek]

The opening jingle is amazing. Love it. like like like like

[Z03G]

♬ she said shut your mouth you don't know what you're talking about... love this song

[alej0utria]

[Mavarik]

i love all the songs off this album cos none of them are cliché and end with a pop little love story

[CHRISSSSSYYYY]

i love noah and the whale.

[emzi7me]

This is by far my favourite song from the whole album...so cute...but so sad at the same time! I'm absolutely in love with this song! xD

[bugdom89]

This song is soo CUTE! <3

[heatrag]

this song never fails- told all my frends about it and they love it too! :)

[dramaticafantastica]

i swore i'd stop likin then after i heard radio 1 had gotten their claws into them and made "5 years time" into a mainstream gimick pop product, but i can't not like them :(

they're just too good.

[yousterify]

@dramaticafantastica don't you think it's a lil ridiculous to stop liking an artiste just because they have been "made mainstream"? :)

[dramaticafantastica]

no, because it's not like i just make the decision to not like them so as to appear cool, it just sounds different to me when it's 'pop' as opposed to unsigned folky stuff.

[vinceb760]

@yousterify totally agree, but you kind of lose taste when everyone starts listening to it.. its better when its kept secret :)

[MsMaryPatricia]

@yousterify Ya but once an artist goes mainstream, some people lose their sense of superiority that they like "real music" and have to stop following that artist, as mainstream isn't deep and meaningful real *rolls eyes*

[11075454]

@MsMaryPatricia I would say the mainstream does tend to deter artists from their conceptual avenues with hollow ad populum appeals to the biggest audiences.

Though it's very rare that artists lose their entire essence. Noah and the Whale certainly haven't lost that quaint beauty.

[RocketReptar]

@dramaticafantastica That's really selfish to stop liking a band because the "got mainstream." You should be happy that 1.) they're getting publicity & becoming popular 2.) there are more people you can agree with more people on enjoying them.

[dramaticafantastica]

@RocketReptar Lmao i love how you can describe an emotion as selfish as if we get any choice. Anyway, it's not selfish, it's just that, to me, when Noah and the Whale were an undiscovered folk gem who played exclusively in pubs, they 'felt' different to me than when they were on radio one with that one song over and over, on every advert etc. just n opinion mate.

[RocketReptar]

@dramaticafantastica It is too selfish. You want them to stay unknown, but it hinders them to stay unknown, and I imagine that they like getting exposure, because it helps to make sure they can continue playing, and expands their fan base. I can understand disliking it if they're being overplayed, but to dislike them because they're mainstream is ridiculous.

[dramaticafantastica]

@RocketReptar I don't want them to stay unknown, that's different. I don't like them in the same way because they don't have the same feel to me anymore. Why does this concern you at all? My opinion has no affect on the bands success. But no you're right, I'm being so darn selfish I'm going to alter my opinions.

[ladyBUGnotbird]

"oh please don't lie, you make me cry in bed" so pure, so adorable and lovely :')

[feeke22]
