The imagery seemed a shocking, until I realized how well it complements the emotional heaviness of the song.

Such an upsetting song. That's an awful situation but I love how the story is told. I think a lot of people have been in this situation and know what it's like

[@YepsMr]

my life

[@toffegozer]

From wich point of view? I think the protagonist is a horrible person. The girlfriend of one of his best mates is upset. and because he is drunk he misuses her emotion trying to get into her pants.

[@alanmalcheski8882]

how do you know the girl wasn't pretending to be upset just to get a power trip? Maybe he didn't do anything this time... or the last time. Maybe she's practicing her manipulation techniques.

[@DigitalMadrigal]

Sounds like the lead singers of the band America. Very reminiscent of that sound to me.

[@insertname7032]

This what I call real art 1)- A good song 2)- Great lyrics with an original story 3)- Nice video clip

[@musicbite2284]

A year ago, I was in a relationship and the person I was with introduced me to this song and I remember listening to it and I related to it immediately. He was like the narrator and I was Sherry. It very soon became our song. Now when I listen to it, after out relationship has ended, considerable time has passed, this song takes on a very different meaning where, I am the narrator and I always had him saying that "he never met someone like me"... I'm grateful to him for many things, most of which is the music he introduced me too. So even though I've not met someone quite like him either, this is a bittersweet memory that I'll treasure. It's remarkable how another person's work can connect so deeply to my own life experiences. I love this song even though it brings so memories. There's something so beautiful in the compoisiton of it :) Thank you Mr. Shauf!

[@pr00t33]

Fun fact: The narrator ends up being gay for Jeremy further on in the album. This whole song is supposed to make you believe the narrator is into Sherry but he was never into Sherry to begin with. The narrator actually starts talking badly about Jeremy so Sherry will break up with Jeremy so the narrator can have Jeremy for himself. This is revealed later on in the album.

[@martindrouin6547]

I've been watching Loudermilk recently on Netflix. Man was I surprised when I heard all these Andy Shauf's songs. Took me back. I highly recommend that show.

[@theconiferoust9598]

[@XsNiPeRPi3z]

i love the ironic use of the little piano sting at the end, using it for that sad and unresolved ending instead of 'you know i've never really met someone like you'

[@spoocyguy]

Man his music is so chill, refreshing, and contemplative. Anyone know of similar artists? Can't get enough of the simple and honest tunes of the Shauf.

[@RebornLegacy]

I honestly can't think of another artist like Andy Shauf. There's probably someone similar, maybe Jens Lakemen.

[@MrThunderPanda]

Seconding Jens Lekman, and Hello Saferide might be up your alley too.

[@vicar5732]

You should check out Sufjan Stevens as well! I like "Eugene" and "Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois".

[@spoocyguy]

Oh yeah Sufjan is my dude. I'll be sure to check out this Jens Lekman fellow!

[@lyndsaymariemacwilliams8449]

spoocyguy man I just listened to Wilco - Someone to lose, and I found that a bit similar. Also the video is pretty cool.

[@ginkgobiloba5462]

Lyrics: Jeremy's so stoned I'd be surprised if he saw the tears in Sherry's eyes She's standing in the corner staring at the floor I wonder what the hell he did this time Normally I wouldn't care to be so bold Tonight I think I'll ask her what is wrong She seems a bit embarrassed and I understand I say "I wish that you were having a good time." She says "You know I've never really met someone like you." "You know I've never really met someone like you." I'm not one to speak up but I've had a few So I start cutting Jeremy right in two I said "I don't know what you see in him, " "It seems to me all he ever does is bring you down." I'm spilling my drink as I really start Tearing one of my best friends apart She's getting uneasy and my drunken speech ends As my hand finds its way to hers I say "You know I've never really met someone like you." "You know I've never really met someone like you." Jeremy walks over and, to my surprise, Sherry puts her arm around his side.

[@MoneyForCabFare]

almost shed a thug tear at the end. this is what great music should continue to be

[@antonfullerton598]

I get a warm overwhelming feeling every time I hear the chord he plays at 1:23, beautiful.

[@zthething]

[@DarthOpinion]

It's an am7 wich is fantastic

[@thisisgunkel]

That last chord is haunting, goes so well with what the lyrics portray.

[@Messithebessi]

I remember watching this when I was about 6 years old,, when it just came out,, I’m fourteen now. Great work!

[@DeannaFaye]

This is one of my all time favourite songs. And I don't do favourites really. The melancholy sound, the way Andy sings - it's perfect.

[@willflems3205]

[@nigelstefani]

one doesn't have to be loud to be heard. What a beautifully subtle piece of work this is.

[@vinylhedgehog5574]

I never really thought about it, but I think that's the nicest romantic thing I would want to hear. "You know I've never really met someone like you." I'm not usually a mushy person, so idk why, it just hit me pretty hard. also can you all think of some other songs that give you the same feeling as the "you know I've never really met someone like you" part?

[@JandJandJandJandJ]

i'm not sure of any songs that give me quite the same feeling this one does, but I know that I'm going to use that precise line when I know I've found someone I love.

[@sulfur7082]

Well, it's not really the same emotion, but there's a bit towards the end of the pup song "sleep in the heat" that gets to me whenever i hear it. Something along the lines of, "You hadn't been eating, i thought you were sleeping" which is sung clean, followed by "But you're not waking up." Which is delivered in this very soul wrenching desperate scream. Get's me every time.

[@devinlikesmusic]

if you haven't already hit it, this immediately reminded me of wilco's yankee hotel foxtrot. similar in production values, instrumentation, tone, and even certain musical tendencies. "jesus etc" is probably what you're looking for

[@vinylhedgehog5574]

@@devinlikesmusic thanks! I looked Wilco up, and your recommendation of "Jesus Etc" was spot on. Right up my alley

[@oNe_SoNg]

"Leave Me Like You Found Me" and "Either Way" by Wilco. "Only for You" by The Heartless Bastards, "Space Song" by Beach House, "Of Lacking Spectacle" by Gus Dapperton and lastly I'll suggest "All Exterior Dark" by Wokava Gentle. I hope you find satisfaction within my suggestions. Have a great day!

[@themfatale]

Chad really outdid himself with the animation for this one. It gets the songs across so well. I especially love the part around 2:17 where he starts doing what I can only assume is a sort of mating ritual, truly personifying his aims to sway Sherry for his own selfish means

[@ricardosv9702]

Andy is such a talented and underrated artist, definitely one of my favorites of all time.

every now and then i come back to this song, marvel at the composition its lyrics and production, whilst i get sad. it might just be the best song i ever heard.

A nice touch is the protagonist blows smoke in Sherrys face the same way Jimmy burps beer in her face at the end. Dont be fooled to think that Jimmy is in any way lesser than.

[@karlroseman6119]

no.. in many ways Jimmy might be the lesser man.. if one of my criteria for being a man were only the bluest creatures can be a man, then Jimmy is clearly inferior. So, you just don't know what someones standards of being a Man are. I guess what i am trying to say is Don't be fooled to think Jimmy ISN'T in any way lesser than.

[@Isayonelove]

@@karlroseman6119 By the criteria of critique laid out by the protagonist from whit we together judge Jimmy we can also judge the protagonist since they share the same surface level faults and therefore a parallel could be drawn that they share underlying faults of the same caliber.

I feel bad for the first person in the song. By first person, I meant the friend who likes his friend's girlfriend.

[@biglegsman8414]

V.A. Trinidad lets not forget that the first person is a douche for liking his friends girlfriend under the influence of alcohol and maybe other stuff, which never in the world he would have the bravery to talk to her (the song says)
