Alvvays - Archie, Marry Me [OFFICIAL AUDIO]

[@fraouel]

this has broken my solid 3-year obsession with black metal. melt my cold black heart, archie's lover!

[@midnightchurningspriteshaq8533]

What he means is that there should be a metal version of this song.

[@BloodyArmourKnight]

Francois Ouellette you can still listen black metal and admire the beauty and talent of Alvvays, i love Travis, oasis, soundgarden, slayer, and creedence and i hear that kind of bands too

[@KingCarrot500]

No reason not to have both in your life man. I'm not a metal fan personally but I listen to all sorts of Drum&Bass. Gotta make time for beauties like this too :)

[@empr3ssoftheun1verse]

no matter how much i love black metal it doesn't define my entire taste. it's always nice to have some diversity, more genres more happiness

[@fvnk_buddha]

I used to be a "purist" too, stoner metal or anything heavy and aggressive. But as im getting older, I just dont give a shit anymore. If it sounds good, I'll listen to it no matter the gerne. Music is music.

[@solita777]

I feel like in those aesthetic like old movies when listening to this. Flowers everywhere, late night movies, young love, sorrow nights. The teenage life.

[@2ndnickthegreek992]

This comment warmed my heart a little bit. Sending you a hug wherever you are.

[@VardaoftheStars]

I totally think of Mary Kate and Ashley’s old movies. Especially ‘Our Lips Are Sealed’ when they go to Luna Park in Sydney, AUS

[@sulladrum]

62-year-old post-punk, alt-rock listener who is absolutely in love with this song. I only wish I'd heard it 6 years ago

[@ixnay66]

I’ve been wearing out their new release “Blue Rev”. Not a bad song on the whole album.

[@thewrathofpoli984]

This song is one the greatest masterpieces of modern indie pop

[@shlomophobe5582]

Hell yeah it is

[@whyistheresky]

This band is making me believe that good, original pop-rock is still alive and well. I want to meet these people.

[@Jesse-vr1tq]

Shoegazing*

[@wolfgang6442]

Pop-rock I thought this was indie?

[@whyistheresky]

@@wolfgang6442 I don’t know dude; I was twenty when I wrote this. It’s definitely taking its cues from pop, but you’re right that, especially at the time of this comment, Alvvays was an indie band.

[@kg7219]

@@whyistheresky genre is an inherently limiting lens through which to analyze music and i feel like its a waste of time to worry about it unless u work for a record or marketing company lmfao. it is good short hand but i think kinda limits what people will let themselves listen to and enjoy because of stereotypes about certain genres. i just like the music i like and think is good and this shit is awesome and thats what matters most to me. u could call it pop rock or indie or dream pop or shoegaze or anything but its just some good ass music

[@UbiSergei2]

"original pop rock"? how we have dismiss that claim../

[@kashmir1799]

*just gonna leave this here* You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony You've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony We spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble And in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie During the summer take me sailing out on the Atlantic I won't set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic So honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Too late to go out, too young to stay in They're talking about us living in sin Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, A.R.C.H.I.E, hey

[@_TDS_]

There is a 90's maybe early 2000's vibe in this song.

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

Definitely a mid 90's vibe

[@bobmcbobbington9220]

Which was pulling from the late-70's, early 80's rock

[@tntbsyht]

90s vibe with a splash of 80s pop Reminds me of The Go-Gos

[@johnforan7068]

Blondie first album - 70s

[@polkadot_rug]

I heard this song while I was in the car with my friend and his dad. The rain was pounding down and the music was blaring in the back seat. Both him and his dad were singing in the while I looked out the window. It was a surreal experience and I'm glad I know about them now

[@bansheeVR]

oh my gyatt, I could notice the Duster pfp from a mile away

[@kikoonthemove]

This is the kind of song I can feel in my heart and stomach, I am so happy and glad that I found this band!

[@kikoonthemove]

I meant heart omg

[@paulskimina925]

This song is so beautiful when you’re in love, and so bittersweet when you’re looking back on what could’ve been.

[@Gilded2H]

ex girlfriend put this in a playlist for me before we even started dating, just listened to this song again over a year after our break up and i teared up a little. crazy how life works.

[@wendytownlocos2055]

Damn for 3 years now, that's wild

To this day?

[@Xervello]

When Rolling Stone raved about them I was sure this would be crap. Glad I checked them out anyway, ha ha, what a great song. Look forward to the album!

[@saraedenn]

i'm here full on sobbing after finishing my mad fat diary :") i adore archie with my whole heart and this song makes me think of him!!

[@teabee1815]

This song feels like driving past the sea mid-day with the windows open and the breeze blowing through your hair and the smell of the ocean filling your nose as you stare out at the passing water.

[@archieman68]

Archie is my chosen name. What a cool song. I feel so euphoric. :)

[@goofygoober4901]

damn this song makes me sad for some reason

[@Dgbygvg]

all hail the almighty loaf

[@j.byrdoliver8053]

Me too, i thought i was batshit lol

[@chay2908]

same fam

[@Veegzee]

I think it's because it kind of sounds like a Smiths song sometimes, which are usually very sad. Plus the echo evokes a nostalgic feel.

[@paperstarred]

Same. After having listened to it a lot, I think it's because it sounds like a farewell to youth, like a beautiful summer that you knew wouldnt last forever. In this case, that beautiful, fleeting something is the relationship with Archie. The proposition, "Marry me, Archie," is a request to extend that feeling of carefreeness and of the freedom that comes with youth before the responsibilities of full adulthood hit you like a bag of bricks. And while adulthood does creep in, with the mention of "Student loans to pay," the singer and Archie are still young enough to live life "in a bubble" and "scour the streets for trouble." Aging and youth comes up again in the lyrics, "too late to go out, too young to stay in," which indicate that, yes, they are growing up, and are on that cusp of adulthood where staying up all night becomes a costly thing to do. The other people who talk about them "living in sin" is symbolic of society's pressure to "grow up" and be more responsible. But the singer wants to hold onto youth and the carelessness that comes with it. "Marry me, Archie," expresses this, considering that marriage seems like such a typical thing that young couples jump into impulsively. There's an understanding however, that Archie has "expressed explicitly [his] contempt for matrimony," just as there is an understanding that the singer can't keep just living in the moment without consideration of obligations. Which is the fate of growing up.

[@TylerSorensen]

My new favorite group of 2014. Incredible debut.

[@Biggly_Diggly]

#1 complaint from me about most bands is vocals...these are absolutely fantastic

[@ZanderDuYoYo]

One of the best "pop bands" I've heard in years. My second (of 5) kids and a very special little geez is called Archie.

[@weirdoscreation]

It's not pop, but okay

Man I wanna go so bad, I can’t believe I let myself get to this point in addition to making the mistakes I did, you don’t realize how good you have it until the most important thing in your life is gone, what I’d do to go back in time and change everything.

[@shlomophobe5582]

I heartily second that emotion

[@tonebone9539]

5th time in a row listening to this track!!! Its really dope!

[@kissedbydirt4645]

tone bone I can top that xD In March last year I listened to Archie, Marry Me for an entire evening and when I woke up the next day, it was still playing. I've probably heard 24 hours worth of this song. No, definitely. ;P

[@tonebone9539]

They've been playing this non-stop on The Current and for once, I haven't gotten sick of it yet!

[@mychoclabwinston]

Great song, at first i thought is as mazzy star, when I heard it on the radio, for the first time, a comeback, if you like Alvvays, check out mazzy star, 15 years earlier, but good, great female vocalists,

[@foolhardyband624]

Love the 90's throwback sound. Vocals sound a little bit like Mazzy Star, IMO.
