Just discovered Andy while watching Loudermilk❤❤

[@chriscrisante8065]

Same here. Love Shauf's sound!

[@JeffDenham5691]

Hahaha, me too

[@isnowyazn]

What’s the name of the track, when he gets into a fight with his dad in his apt and then goes to sleep over at his flat neighbor’s place for the night at her dorm? It kinda starts out soft like this as well, and Loudermilk is dozing off and says it sounds nice. When he asks who it is, his neighbor replies, ‘Andy Schauf’,😊

[@dingofish]

@@isnowyazn It is literally this track, "Early to the party"

[@MO3MEDIA]

I think this is a very underrated song, it’s absolutely beautiful and the violin part is just perfect, gives me chills every time

[@araceliiglesias1184]

I feel like this everyday on my life. On spiritual level.

[@emilia4893]

LYRICS early to the party, you’re the first one there overdressed and underprepared standing in the kitchen, stressing out the host pulling teeth ’til anyone arrives excuse yourself and smoke a cigarette outside there’s three new faces coming up the drive exhale nervous greetings as they shuffle past can’t he ever show up on time bird on the wall catcher calling all the shots catcher tying you in knots won’t let you leave what happened to manners? I guess he’s had a few he’s talking shit, he never thinks of you so bite your lip and watch him walk off with his friends leaving you all alone once again bird on the wall catcher calling all the shots catcher tying you in knots won’t let you leave

[@amalebowskye]

i hope u r still alive

[@danaevse]

Yessss I have been looking for this song for almost 2 years now lol. I used to have this on my old phone in 2019 but I forgot the song name and I only remember one lyric I sometimes typed it KZbin but it never showed up. Today I was in bed and was thinking about it and couldn’t sleep so I went on my phone to try to find it again and I finally did !!

[@deepnofin]

Thank you Andy. I discovered your music, with this album, arround 5 years ago. Some music clicked me, especially the first one, but it didn't last. These days i'm rediscovering it, with your other albums, and I have to say your music talks a lot to me. I don't listen to lyrics, my bad, but the joyful melancholia you bring us is wonderful, in the era of time. You share this with Elliott Smith and few others. I wish the best for us, even if i'm convinced that the times to come will be sublime. Thanks to you ♥♫☯

[@nathanpickering9253]

The song's image, in my head, was super somber But the carrot eating lady really brings out a different side of the music.

[@MarqueeMoon2990]

Not a huge fan of the video. I feel like they could've done a whole lot with the song, surprising the direction they took. Oh well.

[@nathanpickering9253]

I know what you mean. But it's so much later than the song's release that it was never going to severely impact my original imagining, just supplement it.

[@MarqueeMoon2990]

Good point!

[@stevelopez7653]

same, iv'e been listening to the song alone for a year now and now that i'm watching the music video i'm like, "great it's one of thooooose videos"

[@ColonelJackery]

I could listen to Andy Shauf pronounce the word "knots" for hours.

[@shiv2033]

This album is so perfectly crafted, I have just come across it and Andy shauf himself and I am just astounded by his musicianship. This album is like a beautiful tale that anyone can relate to and I highly recommend this masterpiece to everyone ✨

[@greenfacere210]

Fish out of water. Beautiful song and album.

"Cowlin ol' the showts, toyin' you in knowts"

[@TheHeho]

Can't get the chorus out of my mind !

[@stevenmorris2234]

This artist is legendary with his words and what a unique voice. A very underrated artist and I'm very sure that very few have heard of him. The music video is very strange I don't quite get it. But man I Andy's music is so damn good.

[@joeymorangarza]

I shouldn't have watched this. The video i had in my head for this song was much better. Now I feel like some strange-Lynchian nightmare is gonna manifest in my life and my only hope is that I'll be asleep and not awake when it happens.

Such wonderful underlying messages...GREAT

[@mollsballs3131]

1:57-2:45 of this song is soooo good.

[@lucida1979]

Love this song sooooo much ♥️

[@bensoco]

this video is exploring the theme of gaps between generations and the pressure that the older generation puts on the new generation to conform to their expectations of what is normal. the main character, the youngest of the group is an observer for most of the video, seeing the absurd actions of his elders, wide-eyed, drinking wine to dull down the weirdness. finally he is forced to draw a card and starts acting like a fucking fish. the elders look down at their flapping convert in satisfication. another young mind falling into line. expectations met. what they consider right and just is firmly in place. one deep ass party

[@ruimsilva95]

Ben Saff Well that'ts what happens but I think we can go deeper. He is that party with all the animals and finally when he takes the card he realises he is a fish out of water as he dies. Unfitted for that enviromment. I feel that way a lot of times.

He's the fish, because he's uncomfortable and not in his right environment, like a fish out of water. He's also prey to the other predators that the other guests have manifested.

[@HiNinqi]

Nice job!

[@WhiteNacho]

I just got turned on to Andy about two months ago and everything I have heard just blows me away. If I my be so bold he kinda has a hybrid blend of Beck, Elton John and Todd Rungren all of whom I love. Oh yeah the vids are phenom too!

[@vladdkristmanov3057]

Unlike the others at the party, the guy who is a fish needs water to survive; he dies on the floor while the others watch.

[@martinrafuma5216]
