My boyfriend played this song for me a year ago and when I clicked on this I forgot what it was until I played it driving down the road and it actually made me cry. The song is so beautiful. It reminds me of him and it makes me feel so nostalgic of simpler times.

[@jimmydelux]

Just saw them open for Built to Spill on Monday night. hadn't heard them before and immediately liked them. This song has a Heatmiser feel to it which is not a bad thing.

[@aoldatabase548]

I love heatmiser! kewl connection

[@jimmydelux]

Thanks. I wish I would have gotten a chance to see Heatmiser back in the day. If you haven't already checked it out, Alex G put out a new album Last year called House of Sugar. Pretty cool.

was my first thought too

[@al4prez13]

Thank you for mentioning Duster, friend.

[@johnharrington1744]

that whole 90s style of quieter indie rock is definitely coming back for sure. Elliot Smith, Duster, Pinback, Low, Red House Painters, and also the earliest material from Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, and Of Montreal all are really big influences on the new current indie sound of today

[@DavidAllenScoli]

To be honest about all of these comments , some statements are correct and some are not. Riffs , intervals , chords, etc. you name it music is heard and copied from things we heard in the past. Sometimes it comes out and sometimes it doesn't. It's truly what you make of it. But, yes sometimes there are higher consequences that could happen , or there may not be that all depends on the perception and perspective. Alex G is someone you could say that instead of a journal growing up to use to write in, he instead expresses it with melody , song , and lyrics all completely embellished. He was also my drummer when he was 7-8 years in age and l was honored to have him as that.

[@tacstokes]

+DavidAllenScoli are you his brother?

[@DavidAllenScoli]

+thalmus bedussey delonge Yes I am !

If your his brother tell him I really like his song "boy" . I wish he'd do more like it but I guess he likes to mix things up ALOT.

Dude has anyone tried to figure out this time signature I think it switches from 4/4 to 15/4 then the guitar riff at the end i think is in 15/8 it feels so natural completely enthralled with this song

[@lepistanuda]

its p much all 4/4, just some interesting accenting

[@johnharrington1744]

I think it switches time signatures a few times. the main guitar riff is definitely 4/4, but i dont think the verses are
