Saw these guys play with alkaline trio in Portland,OR back in 2009 and tim kasher was so drunk he could barely keep his eyes open but they were still so good that they stole the show in my opinion. I been a huge fan ever since. SOOOO underrated

[@TroyScafuro820]

Ha, I saw them as well when they toured with Alkaline Trio here in Cleveland. Ever since then, they've been one of my favorites. So unique and hard to explain how they are live to others. Something you just have to witness and appreciate on your own.

[@solipsisticlemur4334]

Wonder Ballroom? I think I was there.

[@lagginswag]

Ah the good Ole days when tim was shit faced every tour lmao

[@indiaisme]

"No offense." "None taken." :)

[@projectforce3727]

Are you still alive?

[@KronoXP]

@@projectforce3727nah. They died

[@crankthatrebecca12]

One of my good friends, whom I recently started talking to again, showed me this band while I was going through a breakup. By far I enjoy this band. Helped me get over it more

[@ThomasWilson4]

Cursive will do that ♥️

[@BLUEBEATLE001]

Give him a gift for it

[@crankthatrebecca12]

@@BLUEBEATLE001 i haven’t spoken to him in years now, i don’t even know where he lives heh. he was a very existential and “awakened” kinda of person and for me it didn’t vibe with my kind of anxiety. he was very nice though.

[@Cicerox]

This song is genius on so many levels. It really hits home.

[@SlavojZizekEspanol-libros]

Indeed

[@noworldforeric]

i missed cursive so much. stumbling upon them tonight again made my whole week.

[@cdb2626]

one of the most under rated bands

[@travvypoo]

Such a unique and special band.

[@shaiinar]

dude, Cursive NEVER dies!

[@edruth6223]

Just ended a FWB relationship tonight. The literal interpretation of this song is hitting me quite hard. "I wish that we had never talked, our hips said it all."

[@chuckycheesechucky]

RIP Ed the simp

[@Mrius86]

Just discovered them through suggestions on Spotify. Fucking awesome, this band is fucking awesome.

[@dioelric3032]

I can’t unsee this guy being Todd

[@kristoferturner2194]

I am going to say it!..to me still to this day, this is the best song in the world

[@DJDubsley]

Album of the year holds that spot. This song is a close third to the second best song in the world, The Casualty.

[@tradecraftfarms1672]

its 2021 and you're still right

[@burntbrooklyn]

When did Cursive's sound become so mature? I love when you grow older and you find a band you loved grew with you. Like Conor Oberst, too.

[@jeroenwillems5188]

Exactly this. Love Conor Oberst toob

[@pineapplecough8049]

Cursive is one of the greatest bands of all time.

[@lagginswag]

💯

[@ashthetrashboat1982]

Cant listen without crying

[@GrimeTimeGamer]

thank you for always being there for me....

[@dianaleon8894]

Oh man! I forgot how much I love this song

[@dontcomeinbutcomein]

I can't get enough of this song.

[@ivan777aldana]

If the 2 guys from "Step Brothers" had a kid together that's what it would look like. The song is amazing btw.

[@geluso]

actor is David Neher. recognized him from playing Todd in Community. (and yeah I totally had to look all that up!)

[@Floydthefuckbag]

Thanks Tim Kasher.

[@Wolfparade51]

I've never heard cursive, but always really liked The Good Life... I think I found my new favorite song!

[@CLWHITEHEAD1]

3:17, the guy's wearing a Paddy's Irish Pub shirt! It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia FTW!

[@injoyfruit]

love this song with all my heart

[@beyondlove19]

my brother got me into this band. when i heard FROM THE HIPS i knew i would love this band

[@sayanthingbrandnew]

I watched the new episode of Community last Thursday and the whole time I was like "where have I seen Todd at before?" Jeez surprised it took me so long to figure it out seeing as how this is one of my favorite music videos.

[@alkalinemotoman]

i just saw them at the house of blues i was there for alkaline trio ..cursive was so good

[@Janeite1813]

People like Tim Kasher make me proud to say I'm from Nebraska.

[@504henrynola]

[@michellejesica]

wrong album tho

[@Gryfflovesmemes]

boi you look like you're like eight.

[@504henrynola]

Gryff it’s cause I’m emo

[@jonathankennedy6839]

I live in the hood and I listen to cursive... :-(

[@losxdescabezados]

Ha, this is a great comment. I'm going to use this reference and no one will know what the hell I'm talking about.

[@mashahara]

very great song!!! maybe the best of cursive...

[@BrianaMustLoseWeight]

god damn. i can't stop loving this band...

[@shaiinar]

this is song is just plain amazing, hands down :)

[@omarules14]

ive been listening to this song non stop for a week now :3

[@happyhappy85]

Good, nice to know there are people still in to good music

[@khris369]

cursive will always be a classic, very welll under rated.

[@cricketbriggs6865]

Tim Kasher is the best musician from my time. So excited for the 2015 tour. My youth has been reborn!

[@silentandcliche]

Cricket Briggs Him and Sufjan Stevens

[@ActAppalledAshley]

Tim Kasher will always be bae. I wish I could count how many times i have heard this song, either in itself or played/sung in different ways or played/sung at least 500 times by my ex. I always loved this song, but I never knew just how much it would matter to me later.

[@eskapader]

good for these guys. This is a great single. Hope the rest of the albums just as good....

[@ronschaffer5959]

Slowly chocking on existential pain, masking it behind a harmonious melody. Do you have that courage to fight back against your grabbler overlords? History forgets the cowards so you may as well fight.

[@JuryKing]

Went to see them live last night at Nokia Theater and these guys are so fucking awesome live.. love you CURSIVE!!!

[@stepherl]

Fantastic!

[@Floydthefuckbag]

Awesome video and awesome song! I love this album!

[@koukaorilove]

Really critical song. Therefore and for the melody - genious!

[@wesimplyexistt]

I was just watching Community and I was like omg that's the guy from the cursive video!!! lol Todd.

[@podisracer]

gotta love it!

[@whenigethomeursoded]

I LIKE THIS SONG A LOT.

[@drewdanburry]

i really enjoy this.

[@museturtlebrendon]

wow... hadn't heard of these guys before, but this song is really cool! awesome clip too :)

[@Apedosmil19]

The album really grew on me, give it another chance and you will love it. trust me!

[@rightonlauren]

GOING TO SEE THEM THURSDAY!

[@deathacus]

should do a video for "what have I done" Honestly, its the best song off the record.

[@FutureOverYou]

100% agree.

[@jackcastillo9124]

Oh my god, it's Todd!

[@silentandcliche]

Gideon Nightingale "none taken" 😁

[@dark3rthanshadows]

todd who ?

[@laimatkins8580]

Todd Rundgren

[@Cronominite1]

brilliant.

[@hunterc1805]

Shoutout to the dude I met today with the tattoo of the keyboard cause god damn I’m so happy to know these guys now.

[@user-kw8hn8rm4u]

After listening to this song for a while, I suddenly realized what this song is about.

[@viperhernandez25]

enlighten me

[@user-kw8hn8rm4u]

+Omar Hernandez read the lyrics. Basically "do it like they do it on the discovery channel"

[@ohill9]

+Satoko Tanabe I think its more about that feeling that 'you'll never know someone for the first time twice'. They will never be 'that mysterious man/woman at the end of the bar'/'that really lovely girl/boy who served me coffee' (the list goes on), once you know their name. Which is great, you build a relationship from that and its beautiful, but there will never be that same feeling of unknown 'I know nothing about this person apart from the way they move', aka them talking from the hips, not the lips. I believe this goes for music/film as well. It could be talking about the magic when you hear a song for the first time, or catch a film midway through at a friends with no idea what its called, who its by and what its about, and the more you read into it, and learn how it was created, and what the subject is, the more it will never be that piece of art you heard for the first time that moved you, rather than spoke to you (hips not lips). Im not trying to start youtube fights, just lemme know your thoughts :)

[@ohill9]

and then when you finally get to know them, even though its obvious and inevitable, you discover they're not anything other than normal, and human...and they discover that you're just normal, and human, and you wish you could take it all back, and meet them again for the first time.

[@Xavier-ty4jw]

Is about sex: our most refined habits are just to deceive us, while our most original drive is a gut feeling without sound, is the movement during sexual intercourse , an a sensation without the word.

[@ianclap]

1:47 girl to the left.. my god. one of the prettiest girl i have ever seen in my life!

[@orbania]

Pretty much the entirety of Dosmestica and The Ugly Organ albums and the Eight Teeth To Eat You With and Busrt and Bloom EPs, Dorothy At Forty, Warped The Wood Floors and After The Movies.

[@samfilmkid]

this song is so so so true

[@leebos]

This entire song is a paradox!

[@bbmorgendorffer]

Dude Cursive is so good

[@beaks822]

better every time i watch it. looking forward to seeing them at the social...twice

[@timgrasmussen]

Cursive is comming to ROSKILDE (Denmark) this year!!!!!!

[@chewrockan]

this video reminds me of how much I hate dating.

[@jrin72]

F' ING BRILLIANT!

[@Zr0w]

wow thank you youtube for recommending this video to me

[@booradley3400]

[@jenacieful]

[@dexterpulles6751]

Tim kasher actually

[@aaronrivera7546]

I kept thinking the same thing. I know Ovi when I see Ovi.

[@SatanistSchool]

❤️

[@ficsci]

^ wow, maybe it's just because I haven't been following news on American music for a while, but I would never have thought those 2 bands would tour together. I want to see this though.

[@moviechic07]

Whoa one of the dudes was wearing a Paddys Irish Pub shirt...heck yes!

[@qwertyuiopasdfgh2100]

The guy with the glasses is the hottest of them all! FACT!

[@stefanospapageorgiou9762]

Good music has no need of brainless models in a music video in order to appeal to the public. It has good music and thats what counts!

[@KatanuandDeseire]

Saw them play this live its so much better live.

[@mixmastercool]

Still listening to this banger in 2019, such a good an honest song love the progression and the word play.

[@snacktical]

omg the 5secondfilm girl!!!!!

[@russellreidinger7858]

Its todd from community, looks like he got roped into another school project with these cursive guys. so much for the wife and kids with those girls round him.

[@danpeezie]

Checking these out before I see them at the Alkaline Trio show in Feb. Do they ever rock anymore than this, or is this kind of their sound? Any suggestions on songs to check out by them?

[@shaolinkin]

I think the song has a lot to do with how we overwhelm ourselves because of our nature and up until the final scene in this video, you can see that the two main people are overwhelmed....because from our hips, we think about sex and/or love. THe end of the video is probably just what is Tim's idea of not being overwhelmed encompasses, which would be the desire for just one person.

[@jasoncoker1625]

🤘

[@TheMixedHitzChannel]

Fine Bros!

[@vaughnsteinberg6306]

From our lips, we caused a rift; and the world is falling in.

[@hannahbella1594]

Who the fuck are fine bros?? Cursive/Tim are worth it on their own holy hell.

[@oarsuxnads]

Saddle Creeks Signs some great Bands The Faint, Cursive, Bright eyes (ok i guess). but still i never knew they were all signed by the label until now. Awesome

[@cybern8ic]

from our hips we don't give a shit! it just feels good and that's no sin.... It's the only way to feel alive...

[@thistownsgunnaburn]

the riot room this saturday... be there!!!

[@Monecli]

from our hips we don’t give a shit it just feels good and that’s no sin it’s the only way to feel alive the closest thing to being born again !

[@SmackAnAlex]

art is hard, and driftwood are pretty good.

[@MrSteveeeeeee1]

fucken amazing!!!

[@atomicman2307]

The first verse is about sex being good , the second is about humans talking being bad.. and it ends with sex being better and great... brilliant lyrics

[@chronicmirth3423]

Interviewer: So why should we hire you? Me: 1:08

[@Pogs4Fathersday]

Buy their album Domestica, one of the best indie albums ever made.

[@KaOsHaPPeNiNG]

Just got done ranting on Facebook Live to the point that a friend called the cops and I'm really feeling this.

[@DakotaJackSmith]

Love the Mandeline
