This is one of their best songs in their catalogue. Hands down.

[@kritijangir9598]

So true!

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

Is this an original? It sounds so familiar to me, but I'm pretty sure I'm new to the group....lovely.

[@SFforlife]

@@meghanmacqueen5157 Welcome new Alvvays fan! Glad to have you onboard! Yes, this absolutely their original song. Though if it sounds like another song, I’d be intrigued in finding that out as well!

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

@@SFforlife Thank you xo. I think it must just be the "sound" of the song that seems familiar because I can't think of a specific song that comes to mind. It's beautiful, though!

[@SFforlife]

@@meghanmacqueen5157 Yeah I feel you, I’ve heard a lot (especially newer) fans describe their sound as making them “feel nostalgic for a time they didn’t experience” lol. They have a lot of beautiful songs but this is one of their very best, IMO. It also reminds me of my mom, so it’s very dear to me.

[@gplunk]

This tune sounds like a song that I've been waiting my whole life to hear....

[@tamerduruakan7302]

I discovered this band by an accident. I need to have more of these in my life.

did you discover them in a cringe compilation? that's how i discovered them.

Took me back to driving the car in 1994. Great song.

[@Sometimes_Always]

These KEXP live versions are absolute gold. I loved the album version but this is just as amazing.

[@williamkiely9523]

I hope they realize that their music is beautiful.

[@JimmyJoeization]

When she smiles, she's having a melt up with the tune. Me too every time she hits that falsetto.

[@sofilovespandas]

her little smile aw

[@DanielSmith-up7te]

I was lucky enough to see Alvvays in Manchester U.K a couple of weeks ago. They were amazing live! Took me back to all the times I've watched them on KEXP ❤

[@vectorthurm]

Amazing band! They are precious!

[@friedchickengossip]

This version actually sounds better than the on one the album

[@gfair2]

+FRIED CHICKEN The rising finish at the end of the song is perfect, adds just a little bit of country twang and style to an otherwise fantastic performance.

[@tristantaber6588]

Yes - infinitely better than the album. I love it. It doesn't beat seeing Harriet Wheeler and The Sundays live in a small club over two decades ago, but it's still awesome.

[@theamericaneaglepatriot9673]

It sounds so good hearing Her say Fucking

[@thequarrymen58]

The album version had a poor audio quality

[@Limitedtom643]

Very true

[@clenchedfist17]

she is so real and genuine, when she glances at someone in the studio and smiles you can see it so much, what a touching authenticity, it transfers to her music, it feels like talking to your best friend

[@chrome.parcans5873]

Exactly!! I couldn't agree more.

[@wolfgang6442]

Love that feeling

[@gdub999tub.]

If that moment doesn't make your heart melt... you don't have one.

[@dannycalifornia4983]

One of the best bands of the 21st century.

[@herbertrichard614]

Greatest musical ensemble in human history. They rescued music from obscurity.

[@mochiisyum123]

One of the best songs in existence

[@anagabrielagonzalez7572]

This band is too good to be true

[@drumnman1968]

This is where it all started for me. This song. This clip. I discovered Alvvays one night about 4 or 5 years ago with this beautiful rendition of this amazing song....and it still gives me chills. I had never heard of Alvvays before, but that night, I became a huge fan. That outro kills me. Every. time.

[@WGBHMusic]

Wow, fantastic performance & mix. This sounds just gorgeous.

[@michaelwittmann8720]

so much talent in one small room

[@boring321in]

Take, take from the ones who love you Leave, leave with the ones who don't Lie, lie with the ones who like you Oh, lay, lay with the ones who won't When lightning strikes I'll be on my bike I won't be stuck inside I will be taking flight They, they are the ones who love you We, we are the ones who don't Hang up on the ones that need you Watch out for the ones who won't When lightning strikes I'll be on my bike I won't be stuck inside I will be taking flight And when the wheels come off I'll be an astronaut But I won't be lost in space I will be skipping rocks When you live on an island Nothing ever falls in place The winters are violent And you can't ever feel your face You can't fucking feel your face When lightning strikes I'll be on my bike I won't be stuck inside I will be taking flight And when the wheels come off I'll be an astronaut I will be lost in space I'll be on Lippincott Take

Sounds so beautiful it makes me misty eyed. I love these 'kids' and they're better than ever now. "Blue Rev" is my pick for Best Album of 2022.

[@DoctorMeatDic]

There is something so attractive about the lead singer, I could spend hours listening to her just sing.

[@alexnaz5977]

its simple, but there's just something special about this song. its so great!

[@prajwalkharel9754]

For me, this song is an island, where it has snowed like forever, sometimes few mm and sometimes many. But I am a sucker who keeps returning with a lousy shovel in the passive hope of being buried someday.

[@thomasponcereyes3592]

my favorite song right now.

[@JohnBGood-ry9wj]

Molly please rediscover this sound!!! I know you can still recreate this feeling again!!!!!

[@gdub999tub.]

This is a live performance...? It's phenomenal. I woke up with a thousand problems to bring me down, but listening to this first thing makes it all a little easier to bear.

[@DiscoLeafs]

it's about the constant riffage throughout this song. so good!

[@lardog112]

All this group needs is exposure.

[@justinbohannon3197]

How does this song not have a trillion hits.

[@jacobm3728]

I think if the whole world got together to pick a favorite band of all time we would pick Alvvays

It’s like a cross between The Sundays and The Cranberries.

Cannot wait for the new album. Saw them in Durham and they just crushed every single song. Sound just as good live as in the studio.

[@Miguel21ification]

One of the best songs and best bands I've ever listened to! :)

[@AlbertMarv11]

They all sound amazing together. This version is better than the one on the album. I love how Molly sings. It reminds me of some Yo Gabba Gabba stuff in some way😊👍

[@christinelombardi8935]

Do you want to know about before or after I was blown away by this song?Before I was like"Hey!I'm gonna listen to this song"!Then after I was like blown away and I didn't have anything to hold onto.So I just rocked back-and-forth like a swaying branch in the wind...
