Christian Lee Hutson - Northsiders (Official Music Video)

[@antnybeard69]

This song is criminally underrated. Genuinely one of my favourite songs. Ever.

[@swancoven759]

Dear Mr. Christian Lee Hutson, it's unclear for me how you brought this intense sentimentality to this afternoon. I'm weeping over memories that haven't come for me, and many that have come to pass. Basically, thank you. Your work does not go unappreciated.

[@swancoven759]

*Especially the part when she shoplifts the malt liqour. So familiar.*

[@JohnMuirheadmusic]

This made me feel so many things all at once. Strongest songwriting I've heard in a while

[@savvyandskye]

I got a call earlier this week that a dear friend of mine was hit by a drunk driver and passed away. We hadn’t talked in years and I wish that had been different. I found old photos of us through the years… I also found an article about the accident. Needless to say, this song has been on repeat and the tears definitely come with it- especially with the line “I hope it was an instant death”. Thank you for this beautifully written song that is helping me through this time.

[@maemcdermott8421]

I'm so sorry and I'm glad this song is here for you 💞

[@bdwhite91]

Im so sorry for your loss. I was hit by a drunk driver going 77mph in a residential area while dropping my friends off after a movie. We all survived so any time I learn someone isn't as lucky as us I really know how precious life is. Take care 💙

[@Koshirozation]

"i was new in town, kinda goth" is my new favorite opener line ever. so moving, insightful and heartbreaking. morrissey apologists and amateur psychologist of the world unite and let's cry a bit but also treasure this life (CHEESY ALERT) because this song has that effect on me!

[@Mia-rv6yz]

THIS MADE ME CRY

[@larahhelayne7724]

This is a song/video that I will look back on in 20 years and think "Ah, this is how it felt to be young." Beautiful.

[@adeline-music]

Larah Helayne oh hey 😂

[@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335]

Really so fucking stealing from a store that's what being young is about and being a stupid idiot

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

The Smashing Pumpkins did that better with 1979 in my opinion.

[@MathTravels]

@@genericwhitekidthesecond4330 For me, it's Teenage Riot by Sonic Youth (one of the influences on Smashing Pumpkins).

[@saintsaviour5173]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

[@georgem3211]

This is such a great song. It really tugs your heart strings. When that first friend dies. You think about when you first met them, how it was already more than halfway through their life. Try to keep those memories alive.

[@ozpunk]

You had me at "Morrissey apologists"

[@Hewlett-Packard-Lovecraft]

Agreed. Seriously....just destroyed me with that line.

[@evedotcom]

haha guilty as charged

[@guitarvaultstore8032]

same. that verse is the bomb

[@jala1081]

Is this because while the smiths are considered great music, morrisey has expressed some really bad political views? And the smiths fans are apologizing for morriseys offensive political views?

[@evedotcom]

Ja La he’s always been politically outspoken but people have loved to hate Morrissey long before a lot of these particularly extreme statements. Just being a mopey vegan was reason enough for some lol. I personally like a lot of Morrissey’s solo stuff too. He’s ridiculous but I love him.

[@harryharrismusic]

"We were so pretentious then / didn't trust the government / said that we were communists / thought that we invented it" what a line

[@MathTravels]

I was just thinking that.

[@bleu2680]

Not my problem he couldn't keep being a communist

[@hectorjenkins934]

Morrisey apologists | amateur psychologists | serial monogamists | we went to different colleges| might be the most haunting depiction of teenage angst ever written. I am in tears

[@scout7972]

i've been listening to this song on repeat for the last few days - it's so beautiful and quickly becoming one of my favourites. this is so good dude (i also released that christian lee hutson was the guy from that episode of reply all! small world indeed)

[@edwardclifford8671]

I think about where I was, where the world was, when this dropped, and how radically different the world is now that Beginners is here, and how five months have passed, and what the world will look like five months from now. Crazy how things shake out sometimes...

[@MathTravels]

This is storytelling at its best. For example, a subtle build up to the fact that the person he is singing about is not longer alive through the lines" Besides you are a Northsider now. Nothing's going to change it, pal." It is beyond my comprehension why this song only has 74,000 views.

[@thisiscarmello]

Just recently found this song from a Spotify playlist and I'm glad Spotify recommended me this song. It makes me want to go back to the good times.

[@olaolur]

One of a kind. ✨ deserves more views! Such an art 🥀

Great song. I have grown to really love your Music. Brilliant! Thank you for opening up my eyes. Also for inspiring me to work harder to complete my songs. I completed one last night. Thank You Christian. Wishing you the Greatest inspiration & Good Fortune. Vince James (Ajello)

[@unicornwhale1156]

Thank you for this. My heart hurt this morning thinking of all that's happening in the world. This brought me down and helped me cry! Thanks!

[@SelfMadeMillennial]

Such a good song, makes me feel like I’m back in the science quad.

[@DanielEscovedo]

I'm delighted and amazed at how beautiful this song is and also the fact that it brought tears to my eyes so easily. It's so nostalgic, despite being new, brought so many memories...thank you, Christian!

[@jessemusic606]

This is one of the greatest albums ever. You're a beautiful, wonderful person. 💜

[@anna-km5qf]

I’m actually in love with all his music? This gets me so in my feels!!!!

[@taylorjones329]

This song is so beautiful I love it. I saw it live in dallas and it was so captivating hearing him play it

[@Gordman]

Beginners is a giant album! Fucking love it 😍

[@littlegrad]

Perfect song and beautiful video!

[@phu185]

The video perfect for this amazing song. Was transported to that time and emotions. Thanks.

[@MeatSnax]

The rise and fall of his songs is such a rare thing to hear. Paul Simon, Elliott Smith, and Leonard Cohen all come to mind instantly.

[@TheArtistCooperative]

love this song/video bought the single and the ticket to the Troubadour Hollywood show...6/28 cannot come fast enough!

Saw you a few weeks ago in Austin - the set was great, and man, what a fantastic songwriter. I love when a tune sets a mood and tells a story, and this just nails it.

[@zoe6379]

[@ftg_vader8690]

Just heard this for the first time and wow. Incredible songwriting. This actually made me feel things

[@rwgrover]

The guitar part reminds me of Elliot Smith's playing.

[@glizzymcguire7]

I thought the same thing! Could definitely be some Elliott influence somewhere in there ❤️ Christian is so talented.

[@oldpossum]

That was quite beautiful. Thank you, CLH, for enchanting an old Swiss guy!

[@savehimgffff1777]

This song made me cry. I’m a normal 17 year old boy btw not one of these 47 year old moms in the comments so you can rest assured that I actually rarely get this emotional with songs. The “getting fat somewhere in the country side” line made me really sad. I feel like it’s never hearing about the sad stuff that gets to us, it’s hearing about what COULD have happened. That’s why when you read about people dying it says “he would have been 26 this year” or “he wanted to be an engineer.”

[@antjone]

You are better able to "get" this because you're 17, not a "47yo mom". This is an example of a time-travellling embarrassment, one which will give you a spasm (like Hudson's memory of "probably addicted now"). "thinking we invented it. Send my regards to your poor mom.

[@ellafurman5562]

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

"Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet June bug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below Double cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in the store Morphine city slippin' dues, down to see that We don't even care, as restless as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement, lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it, to see And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below The street heats the urgency of sound As you can see there's no one around"

[@antjone]

The rest of the album is good, but this stands out as so much better, I wonder what Hudson thinks? Does he think it's his best song? Does he worry he's done his best work, or is he optimistic it shows he can write a Great Song? Or both? I wonder if,. lyrically, it's too songs stuck together. If not, it's a great leap in perspective and feels. A third verse that catapults 10 years ahead is always a great trick.
