Broken Social Scene - Cause=Time

[@zane2302]

After listening to this song for nearly 20 years, I finally saw them play it live yesterday. Unreal.

[@ricolopez8253]

That's dope man wish I was there lol ! Such a good song

[@wompaxstompa]

bruh

[@UnframedAnimation]

What an underated song from an underated band.

[@paulmayerpiano]

+Simple As This Depends where you're from. They're not underrated at all in Toronto. The indie press pretty much falls over themselves trying to shower BSS and its affiliates with as much free publicity as they can handle, which is great, imo.

[@argh2945]

Definitely underrated outside of Canada.

[@CiscoPanch]

My old Biomed teacher use to love this band and would play this song after most of us left to go home.

[@jaydub5011]

Not underrated at all dude

[@bobbyfoster6921]

Reminds me of Dinosaur JR

[@mijreed]

Half of Canada plays hockey, the other half are in BSS

[@matthewjohnsonisnot]

+Mike Reed As a Canadian, I approve this message. :)

[@SoundersAgirl]

+Mike Reed I fucking love this comment so much!

[@XXXGaaraFan2013XXX69]

+Mike Reed Was this simply a joke implying we have a small population / BSS has a lot of members? or i'm missing something?

[@matthewjohnsonisnot]

They have a lot of members and we like hockey. That's how I took it.

[@XXXGaaraFan2013XXX69]

matthew johnson Thats it? figured there was something more subtle to it.

[@damnitnanet122]

This song live is always a trip. Toronto’s indie darlings. Seeing them again tomorrow ❤❤❤

[@markservilio2357]

Discovered this song 10 years after it came out on a college radio station. Didn't think anything of it. 10 years after that (20 years later) "You Forgot it in People" is one of my favorite albums. Loving music is a wild journey

[@AmericanJoerrorStory]

So cool reading this, I’m in the same boat. “Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl” was one of my favorites growing up but never thought to venture beyond that song on the album and oh my god I’m so happy I finally did.

[@rw7975]

This song came out the summer before I started college (summer 2004) It was stirring then and always stuck with me; timeless track and band.

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

Check out their debut record "Feel Good Lost," more rock-ambient, a lil bit more lo-fi but still great.

[@sunflowersandpines]

I'm just now discovering them!

[@charlesryaniii1471]

J Mascis

[@rachelattack]

This was the first BSS song I heard, on the Wedge really late one night when I was babysitting. I can't believe I'm 30 and watching thinking how fucking clean and relevant and the video looks amazing still. Canadian alternative makes me so patriotic

[@jordahm]

Wow. Exact same for me. I discovered so much awesome music on The Wedge as a young teen.

[@Kenster1025]

Wedge was awesome, i don't understand where all the music video show surround alternative and indie music have gone. Like Much, YTV, Aside/AUX all have gone downhill.

[@thirdeyeflow]

Fuckin rights bro!💯 so much has happened since i first heard this song, the nostalgia is deep for me🌌

[@dongately2817]

Yeah, but you use that little bit to do a lot more - you know it’s gonna run out soon

[@patricksalish]

Hey Rachel, wanna watch the fucking language ?

[@creekandseminole]

BSS is one of the most important bands I discovered on my own in college. That was back in 2005... Almost been ten years for me and this band. One great indie group that isn't afraid to rock out.

[@Aiden-zi3xf]

Doing the same thing today

[@cordeluxband]

Still holds true to one of my my top favorite songs- Dawn

[@alannabanana6255]

I've always loved this song. Happy to be reconnecting with it.

[@yeklkvaro]

When I was younger I used to hate when other people liked songs off my "Secret Music " list, but now I wish everyone and their mothers would get to hear this song.

[@dongately2817]

Walked into my room a few years back and my brother was staring at my laptop with this on the screen. He asked - "Is this the new Slipknot?" dude's a lost cause

[@KashiwaDaisuke]

Can you blame him? The video doesn't match the music whatsoever

[@RiceReaper]

Actually thats the only reason I stopped flicking channels to watch it. Was a good decision

[@Lizard1582]

nah, i like both bands. there's hope :)

[@timcherry9606]

Don’t know why they need 8 people. I was in 3 pieces almost as potent.

[@SR91313]

@@timcherry9606 -Sure, and there's been 2 pieces that were really good/great as well. They don't "need" 8 pieces, or sometimes even more. I think they just really like playing with all their friends.

[@HandsomeDevilRamirez]

This song is so good. One of the best BSS songs ever. I still remember when I first heard this so many years ago on MTV2 Subterranean. Been in love with them ever since! Rock on, Broken Social Scene

[@teddyhose]

Interpol, The Walkmen, The Strokes, Ben Folds, and BSS = My college soundtrack.

[@witte1919]

Don’t forget about the stars. I remember seeing Ben folds at radio city music in NYC when I was 17 years old. 2006 what a trip

[@teddyhose]

@@witte1919 I saw him at Prospect Park in Brooklyn sometime in the mid-aughts too, with Rufus Wainwright opening. Of course it was amazing.

[@erikamontiel2901]

Every once in a while I come back to bss because no other band has ever made me feel as good about life as this band has. The best ever. :)

[@CiscoPanch]

My old Biomed teacher use to love this band and would play this song after most of us left to go home.

[@bums009]

That's one cool teacher.

[@jvandyke83]

The whole song is one amazing hook and it works wonderfully.

[@Nightshade_shot]

This is my girlfriend's favorite song. I love it so much. Not only is it such a good song, but every time I listen to it, I'm suddenly in my bed, in the dark, and they're holding me close, and kissing every scar on my arm, and loving me so gently it brings me to tears, while this song is playing on my Google Home. I know I'm typing this high, but I genuinely want to use this song as an opening for a show I'm working on someday, as tribute to her. She and this song make me feel so safe yet so emotional. I love you, Alyssa.

[@brendacorona8707]

saw them live a few years ago at the pabst theater in Milwaukee. killer show.

[@zexnynex777]

I completely missed this 20yrs ago, now its on repeat.

[@The_Power_and_the_Glory]

There were two drummers playing this when they performed in Peg City 2006. Definitely a highlight among the many shows I've seen and heard.

[@rustyshackleford4743]

somehow I forgot about this band for like 2 years lol. I just remembered how much I like them

[@coreymckinzie9013]

Rusty Shackleford same same. Very good indeed. Heavy rotation for me, circa 08'ish

[@cassandraocampo4311]

So true. When I hear people talk about how much they love the new mumford & sons I'm just like BSS is better. Lmao

[@mavericmaclovio4016]

YES YES YES

[@Brnctrnmusic]

great song. I especially love the bassline

[@MrJackso25]

[@georgie23]

OMG!!!!!!! I have been trying to find this song!!!! I remember it when it first came out I think around 2003 or '04 and I never knew the band or name of the song. I'm so happy now! Brings back memories of my lil sister listening to Interpol and stuff like this. I liked this song.

[@brendaolszewski7570]

Man I saw them 10 years ago with a good friend it was amazing.

[@OlderWaiter]

i remember the first time i heard this song and saw this video. changed my life. srsly.

[@jacquesmesrine8031]

strangely, as much as i fuckin adore this people. I find they belong to my youth to a time where i was wild, self destructive, promiscuous and just generally nuts, full of energy. Now that im 39 and a father of a toddler, i completely lost the edge for this. Dont get me wrong, their last material and songs like "stay happy" are so much more fitted to my age...my point is that is like we're growing old together and that this song just popped on the sidebar and im like "god i really dont feel like being high on cocaine anymore and i really dont feel like dying. I actually care" LOL (what a karen comment, im drunk as a skunk dont judge)

[@peepawjenkins3413]

nah this is real shit, and to me, only makes the art more potent. life does come first after all, doesn't it?

[@KayAteChef]

You replaced cocaine and post-punk with alcohol and post-youth.

[@brandonriddle4381]

I came to check this out because Jared Keeso said this was his favorite band. It's not really my cup of tea but I'm sure they have lots of people that love them.

[@anthonygriffin8421]

This song reminds me of the churches in America and the injustice and virtue signaling that goes along with it. I was abused in a first church of christ when I was a child and maybe I'm drawing incorrect conclusions from the lyrics but it hits home anyway

It's an early Fall morning, 7:33 am. The leaves had already started to turn a bright yellow and occasional brown. The wind blows a cool air into your hoodie, as you pull it tight around your cheeks. You dive into the car, and fire it up. As it warms up, you get situated. It has rained the last 3 days. Today though, the clouds part, and Ray's of sun split the shade into a glow. You turn left from the apartment, park Avenue. Hit the playlist, this comes on. A grin hits your face as you accelerate into 4th gear. Everything will be ok😉

[@SportsSenpai]

Also one of the best songs ever made

[@jean-pierrelabriaire6653]

MintyMeetch i wouldn't have heard the similarity myself but you are right in some way. sounds familiar.

[@AdamMcCarthy74]

That's a great shout. Very similar beat and general feel. Especially love it as I'm also a big Cardiacs fan as well as BSS. A nice link between the two as keyboardist for The Sound Colvin 'Max' Mayers was in Cardiacs early on. Thanks for the link.

[@AdamMcCarthy74]

Here's a present. I put both songs through a mashup program. Sounds great in places! kzbin.info/www/bejne/omHToHR7dpppqMk

beautifully shot video, especially considering it's from an indie band in 2002 (assuming the video is as old as the album).

no the drummer is justin peroff hes canadian as well John mcEntire was the producer of their latest album Forgiveness rock record he was playing the secondary set on tour with them

[@bananawammabama]

As a teenager I had the ability to fall in love with any music my friends loved, even when it wasn't my taste. I say ability because I honestly didn't just fake it to be like them, these songs and bands still hold a very special place in my heart. I loved BSS but really is too emo for me now, I also used to love tool and cradleoffilth because of friends lol. Listening to a playlist like that was a bit of whiplash though.

[@JoshLStuff]

Emo is quite a surprising description for BSS, I'd have thought they're basically the opposite

[@bananawammabama]

@@JoshLStuff Oh? What is the opposite of emo? I would assume upbeat, happy? BSS makes me feel quite melancholy. Maybe it's more custom to who you are, and I never realized that...
