I often listened to this group when I was on mephedrone addiction. I was floating on the waves of euphoria and music, not realizing that my life was going to hell. Now everything is fine and I am no longer a drug addict. But this band is still in my heart. With love and peace from Russia

[@sigar2166]

Гойда!

[@TheBaesment]

Always such a pleasant surprise when the live version has entirely different life and vibrancy than the studio track.

[@cbcmusic]

Well said. I think they're mining for a deeper meaning when they play it like this.

[@gibsonax]

Alvvays*

[@michrennie]

Sounds darn-near identical to the recording.

[@ramonzeiro]

​@@michrennieyes, I didn't get the comment LMAO what's different???

[@ramonzeiro]

What exactly is different?

[@Amandanumnum]

God what a great band, so glad I got to see them live

[@cbcmusic]

Were you at the CBC Music fest this year?

[@davidpayumo23]

@@cbcmusic I was and it was amazing. Stars doing Set yourself on fire was a great choice. The sound was loud and clear. Alvvays sounded great. One of the best concerts I been to in years. Wished I saw Cardin and Coeur de Pirate.

[@Amandanumnum]

@@cbcmusic no, wish I could make it! Went to Field Trip last year in TO

[@madeline1268]

Something about that vocal alteration from the original at 1:09 gets me every time. This performance seems to hit harder than the studio version. Just as good rock should.

[@thecinemakid7740]

for reals. hits you in the soul

[@tomg_54altem96]

Discovered this band a few weeks ago and I have to say Antisocialites is helping me through a lonesome lockdown. And this song feels like a sea breeze on a scorching hot day - amazing sound live too.

[@william19730718]

Me too

Somebody needs to show her how to pose on stage because she looks like a drunken Appalachian hillbilly on mountain dew. Iggy Pop showed David Bowie how to pose on stage

[@grummanbautista6572]

Es el mejor comentario que he leído sobre ésta canción, es la mejor descripción que has dado sobre ésta canción... 😊😊😊

[@jsimoes95]

This is by far one of my favourite versions of a song live, everything sounds so tightly played

[@bryyyyyyyyyyy]

The lights give a dreamy feeling

[@iwillnevergetone5]

that drum fill at 2:00 !! they need to let those types of moments happen on the studio records too. such a great band

[@i_dont_know_who_i_am69]

I think that is just the new drummer being better than the old one. She hasn't recorded an album with them yet, I think, so maybe we'll see more stuff like this in the next album.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

@@i_dont_know_who_i_am69 she's been touring w them for a little while now. like a little bit before this album cycle. but even when she first started playing with them, she wasn't doing fills like this. she was keeping it more like the record and tame. I'm sure its the rest of the band getting more comfy with her (and the other drummers in the past) and them finally being like okay you can cut loose a little more. I just need this same energy on the records and less of the metronome-style drumming that's currently on there

[@bravotronalpha3787]

Either that or she's had little experience in a group or in front of crowds before joining up with them. Being in a good group and performing regularly can drastically speed a musician's evolution. She certainly seems more energetic now, as well. It's a good sign.

[@TchaikovskyFDR]

Sheridan Fucking Riley

[@davidocampo8997]

Pretty difficult if you take into account that most of alvvays songs are kind of dream pop or shoegaze.

[@legioxciicorvus5917]

One of my tracks by Alvvays. Her voice is so soothing.

[@jacksonmorris9434]

that guitarist is really playing like a shoegazer

[@SirCommoner]

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT

[@acideater444]

yes. first second came and I immediately thought of shoegaze haha

[@TheMusicalElitist]

No he isn’t.

[@piersweston9832]

Very much playing like Neil Halsted. Especially with the Rickenbacker

[@sting0072007]

[@panchikofan123]

I definitely wouldn't mind going to one of their concerts.

[@edq6231]

La mejor cancion que he escuchado en mucho tiempo, los conoci recien por una sugerencia de spotify, descubri una hermosa gran banda, me encanta cada una de sus canciones, espero verlos en vivo algun dia

[@FelipeAndrade17]

same

[@cristianescobar6027]

Me pasó igual, pero acá, cuando al algoritmo de KZbin se le ocurrió dejar de holgazanear. Me causaron casi lo mismo que cuando escuché a Cocteau Twins.

[@grummanbautista6572]

De igual manera similar me sucedió, fué en un verano del 2020 durante el periodo de la contingencia sanitaria del COVID-19, ingresé a KZbin por pura causalidad y de repente me aparecieron videos musicales recomendados por KZbin, fué que me tomé un momento para ver dichos de vídeos de aquélla banda, fué lo más sublime que mis oídos llegaron a escuchar en aquél instante, ojalá tuviera la dicha de verlos en directo para escuchar y disfrutar sus canciones.

[@arcasa-ho9su]

Yo cuando descubri a alvvays estuve meses escuchandolos en bucle.

[@carydelatorre2633]

2:00 It's me. I'm responsible for that being the most replayed part. those drums

[@marcuscorporal]

Sheridan Riley is an indie drum goddess

[@vousandi8673]

Tremolo kicks in on his guitar after the solo just after 2:01.....heavenly, earth-shattering tone.

[@renatenha7152]

2:31 this "in undertow"... so sweet

[@modalboy5122]

I alvvays listen to this band. I will love them forever and alvvays.

[@jerms3088]

i always find myself running back to this song whenever i’m in a tough situation with someone

[@cepson]

I hope this band is making money hand over fist all over the world. They are one of the best things that's happened to pop music this century.

[@n.i.6421]

Esta canción no podría ser más hermosa.

[@darkicity]

Just saw them live last night and hadn't heard this song until last night and now i love it

[@camerupt3161]

when the guitar kicks in at 1:44 ...goosebumps

[@madpad98]

This is exactly how I imagined their live shows to look. One day they’ll come back to the UK.

[@jonnil1997]

Such great writing, I relate to the feelings in this song so much going through a breakup.

[@michaelfrew1824]

This is a great rendition!

[@deshtyanerlangga8644]

I love the way of Molly stands, the way she holds the guitar and plays it, that miserable expression

If they continue making such kinds of records, these guys will soon become big.

[@dannyw.b6447]

Theyre so tight live

[@efebg3095]

Sorry, I need the lyrics posted to sing while I listen to this perfect live version: You find a wave and try to hold on for as long as you can You made a mistake you'd like to erase and I understand "What's left for you and me?" I ask that question rhetorically Can't buy into astrology, and won't rely on the moon for anything No turning There's no turning There's no turning back after what's been said No turning There's no turning There's no turning back Meditate, play solitaire, take up self defense When you get old and faded out will you want your friends? What's left for you and me, you respond to my question metaphorically Don't read into psychology and won't rely on your mood for anything No turning There's no turning There's no turning back after what was said No turning There's no turning There's no turning back after what's been said You find a wave and try to hold on for as long as you can You made a mistake you'd like to erase and I understand What's next for you and me? I'll take suggestions we toss and turn in undertow Time to let go There's no turning There's no turning There's no turning back after what's transpired No turning There's no turning There's no turning back I'm so uninspired No turning There's no turning There's no turning back No turning back

[@cheapdrummers]

This version is close to making me download KZbin red

[@L7Fx]

out of the album version, the KEXP recording, and this live performance…. this one is the best. it’s got just a littttle extra pizzazz that goes a long way

[@aglowlikehoney]

I hope someday see them perform live
