This came on my random play for the first time in years today and I immediately had to pull up this video because, honestly, it’s better than OR’s studio version, which is too upbeat and goes on way too long. For decades now, some of my favorite lines from any song have been “And see how that light you love now just won’t shine / there might just be another star, high and far in some other sky.” I hated growing up in-let’s just say my home country that rhymes with “Schmamerica” and often fantasized about moving elsewhere-and I know that’s what this song is explicitly about, but it’s always resonated with me in that sense of a wanderlust kid having second thoughts about leaving.

Coldplay

Bring the game back

Wow. Fucking fantastic. Came here from Roky and Nardwar. Rip roky

Maybe I’m just a bitch but DAMN.. Can I not get a version that doesn’t have that 35 second silent intro?

Nice

Will Sheff hates autistic people. He thinks it's funny to lie to disabled people.

Wow❤

Beautiful music.

Saw them last night in Tucson. Blown away. Totally inspired by how tight they were. The lead guitar player was one of the best guitarist I have ever heard.

The new solo album, Nothing Special, is so good. The other Will from Okkervil River (Graefe, seen here) plays sublime guitar

Just saw this the other night at Mississippi Studios in Portland. Will and his band killed it despite the venue having some technical issues with the stage mix. Great performance by talented players, and Will even came out to the merch table afterwards and signed our tour poster. What a great and memorable night. Thank you for that, and my deepest condolences for your loss. I lost my brother too, a long time ago. We played music together and shared the same dream as you.

Nope

Great groove; love the hits

Great stuff from Will

Lennon lives!

Absolutely blows my mind that this was 14 years ago

This is great! Luv it.

Great work re-connecting with an old mate and making new memories together "You can't go back; you can only remember"

I like this, but the lyrics are so hard to understand. I feel like he's speaking a different language. 😳

I still cover this cover when someone asks me to play a song

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love okkervil river 🫀

💚

Algorithmic punch!

This band is back

Anyone find this band because of "More Than Meets The Eye"?

Came from Transformers, stayed for your music

This song means to me the struggle of life can kill you, many people suffer to death, thank god he got through the struggle so young.

I'm homeless and have no way to enjoy this, but I hope you got/get as many orders as possible. I think you're the most underrated band within my lifetime and one of the greatest ever. Thank you for making beautiful music

a lovely reminder in a climate of gloom, rock on

4:12 goes UNGODLY hard

I found this video while looking for the Jobriath song late one night not long after my own trachy earlier this year. It right cheered me up as well. Where I live we get our own Waterloo Sunset every evening, but this made it all seem new again.

Equity lol

The begging of this song reminds me of Jerry Garcia singing ,,,,,, .

What a beautifully unflinching tribute this is.

I used to work here, this made me cry.

I'm trying my best to get as many people as possible to listen...just once that's all it takes..beautiful.

<3

Yes.

IT'S a GOAT

a shield? a hill? a thing enduring yesssssss

THANK YOU WILL SHELF <3

.....ahhhhh buddha belly grumbles in pure delight....

amazing song

This song definitely gets the Metalhead Seal of Approval for Non-Metal Songs. Honestly, the whole album is pretty good, but this song stands out. It's very poetic and has a beautiful and uplifting twist at the end.

Bummed that there are no Texas dates.
