Current Joys - Fear | Audiotree Live

Download & stream Current Joys on Audiotree Live -- smarturl.it/AT-...
Nick Rattigan is the visual artist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter behind yelpy, post-punk inflected indie bands Surf Curse and Current Joys. He created Current Joys as a way to unify his mutual love for film and music, and subsequently directed multiple music videos for the project. The grimy, thunderous songs themselves exist to free Rattigan from generalized anxiety as they embody the cyclical entrapment of the disorder while offering catharsis for those who share his experience.
Recorded on April 4, 2018 in Chicago, IL.

what makes me come back to watch this video is the absolute passion in the way he plays that goddamn guitar dude. you can tell he genuinely put his heart into this song and playing his guitar. absolutely beautiful

[@hakimchinwi599]

I never felt it when I was young I never knew where it came from Now I feel it like a hurricane And it's so hard to stop the rain It's so hard to stop the rain It's so hard to stop Starts out gold, but never stays The neon takes my breath away And now I feel it in my veins But I don't want to be afraid I don't want to live this way I don't want you to leave

Weld Bladiiiii

[@pradeeplama1335]

How is she soo calm when he's exploding all the moon and stars?

[@treyblakeandrew]

Pradeep Lama me on the outside when I’m listening to current joys in public vs me on the inside

[@mkid44]

shes in her pianoverse, which differs vastly from any other musicalverse

[@deehno9018]

Beautiful words mate

[@SportsSenpai]

Absolutely amazing. I find myself listening to this version a lot nowadays

[@mariochavez1928]

That's hands-down the greatest song I've ever heard in years!!!!!

[@sorkostar69]

90% of the views is me obsessively repeating this song, so tasteful

[@veronicamayamolina2178]

Its so hard to stop the rain

[@allaroundme5429]

First few listens to the album version of this song, I thought it was about depression. I now realize he's talking about love.

[@spencerpencer]

allaroundme wow. i never realized that either.

[@pvtppsmols69]

as someone who struggles with addiction, I've always interpreted it as depression/addiction/love

[@LUFC-yl2cd]

The Cure mixed with Arcade Fire, and a hint of Sonic Youth (maybe?)

[@danichesney1876]

The melody reminds me of a shaket graves song a bit

[@brianvillalobos2823]

God no, you're both wrong

[@Jimmyjazzradio]

no

[@corpseparty7889]

Yes

[@ampoonmrose]

I WANT TO CRY THIS IS THE VERSION OF FEAR THAT I LOVE THE MOST AND THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO THAT HE PLAYS IT THIS WAY

[@lilnoose3889]

Wow so clean, even better than the official audio

[@crocodiledabdee8342]

This is 10x better than the album version

[@JonJonGTA]

Too upbeat for me. I like the depressing version more. Each to their own. And will there's always a time and place for either version.

[@jonathanrapouse]

i love his sheep voice, OMG, in my veeeeinsss

[@Melonhead313]

There’s no way anyone can say they love music, but not love this! This is how you weed those said folk out…

[@noonehmm]

awwwwo garage band vibe brings tears to my eyes. You never hear music like this anymore.

[@floydzinho]

Reminds "every breath you take"

[@claudeschweizer3932]

Theres no song on earth that eher gave and still gives me as much strength as this one. It‘s crazy. One song kills my suicidal feels for one second, because u stop feeling alone. Haha, what a stereotypic comment one would say…. I love this man. The instrumental intensity which starts after his so strong, passionate, honest and well formulated and placed words/sentences, each word, even the word which he leaves out at the end of the first one, ahhh. Its just more than i could have ever wished for in one song. And there are so many others of urs which i just completely can relate. Ur passion is incredible!

[@seanporter3616]

Terribly Fantastic.I just wish they toured Cali more :)

[@TheFonz995]

sean porter they’re always doing shows out here! In the past year, I’ve seen them 3 times and that wasn’t Current Joys only shows! Follow Nick on IG, sometimes he’ll post about last minute, small shows he’s playing

[@daniloviturino1336]

Beira a perfeição ❤

[@Frank-uw1xu]

Nick is too good to exist

[@tobinjordan8533]

I feel kind of bad feeling this way, because I support this dude and this friends, and respect his vision and art, but I really really prefer the sound of his sounds live with full band compared to his bedroom DIY recordings on bandcamp. They just seem to come alive to me, as if his bedroom recordings are a rough draft or storyboard, and these live versions are the actual film, and finished product. I hold out hope, that maybe he will produce some other material as Current Joys that will sound more like this. But love regardless.

[@ericlayton8888]

I can't speak for Nick but I'd say don't feel bad, there are different versions of these songs for a reason :) different people enjoy different songs in different forms, so I think one of the best things about Current Joys is that we get all these different takes on the same amazing songs

[@danichesney1876]
