I love Zooey's voice! She sounds like a classic 50s singer.

[@chrisrj9871]

I was thinking 70s in some parts. ....and I hope it was a good 13 years for you 😕

[@sunnyjim1355]

Nobody sang like this in the 50s. 😂

[@kawaiilotus]

It's more 1960's tbh.

[@citrusinbloom]

​@@kawaiilotusright, I was thinking 60s-70s, really.

[@citrusinbloom]

​@@sunnyjim1355While that's true for the most part, she reminds me of Skeeter Davis and Lesley Gore. Though, I don't know whether they were exclusive to the 50s or not 🥲 (this is meant nicely.)

[@maggietapia8900]

Can we talk about how underrated She & Him are? Love their work!!

And she looks the same😂

[@mommy2kaylie]

Why is she not more famous as a singer? She is so unique and uber talented. I have loved her ever since I heard her sing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" on the movie "Elf". She should be all over the radio channels. She is amazing!

[@kingzach74]

Right? Stupid artists like Justin Biber and Miley Cyrus are getting tons of recognition but Zooey and her amazingly unique voice get almost no love.

[@iagocastro8093]

Why do you let me stay here? All by myself Why don't you come and play here I'm just sitting on the shelf Why don't you sit right down and stay a while We like the same things and I like your style It's not a secret, why do you keep it? I'm just sitting on the shelf I got to get your presence Let's make it known I think you're just so pleasant I would like you for my own Why don't you sit right down and make me smile You make me feel like I am just a child Why do you end it? Just give me credit I'm just sitting on the shelf

[@rihannarox11]

i love this whole era of style, and everything about her, shes my idol!

[@EloiseWilson-oo5tk]

@@cat-vj8lvwhy r u so judgmental god

[@darth_vdare]

Great song. She's describing a pretty common situation which is straightforwardly explained by manosphere/redpill types. She's gotten involved with a man that she's really excited about, but she's wondering why their relationship seems to be a bit stalled, it isn't progressing into something more serious. It sounds like she hasn't met his friends ("It's not a secret; why do you keep it?" "Let's make it known ..."). She asks, why not turn this casual affair-since it seems like it's going so wonderfully-into something more serious, make a commitment to each other, maybe get married eventually. The answer to her musical question is that he has other girlfriends. Turns out that the things she finds exciting about him are also attractive to other women. Dude's getting a lot of milk for free.

[@emmabemmalemma]

you made me smile today

[@Milktube]

You didn't mention the most important part - the reason he doesn't want to turn it into a serious commitment is because she's demonstrating that she's not worth committing to. A woman that is willing to sleep in your bed / have sex with you without being married to you (or even DATING you in this song!) is a terrible choice for a serious commitment.

[@ElloAsty]

[@JG-or9ej]

People are talking about She & Him not getting all this recognition and how sad it is. Did you ever think, maybe it’s not for the world but very few souls living in a rare moment. How lucky you are to find it.

[@grimandbilly005]

you know i'm suprised that there are trolls on her music, I think she's actually talented with coming up with music that doesn't sound overly mainstream. Good stuff

[@JetJagger]

As a former concert producer, music business manager, and entertainment Website publisher, I am thoroughly impressed with Zooey and Matt's work on this album. Not only is Matt WAAAAAY talented, he's also the perfect compliment to Zooey's fun personality, equally brilliant stage presence, refreshing vocals, and heritage-infused melodies. Thanks to Merge/Domino for supporting this talented duo (and their band). I will certainly be buying this CD for my 9 yr. old daughter (errr...and myself!). -

She & Him started at the top, this is their 'Citizen Kane' musically speaking. A great song, beautifully arranged & produced. Perfection !

@c murray why come here at all when you don't like this kinda music? a person can be a fan of Phil Spector's productions and can also enjoy a bit of indie pop/folk. do yourself a favor and stop passing judgements on people without knowing anything about them, cause it won't get you very far. good day sir.

Great song. Love hearing Zooey Deschanel sing. She just sings the song nicely with a greta voice and doesn't need to make loads of weird noises to try and make it sound better, like other singers seem to do now. o.o The comments for this video are so pointless. -_- How many of the people who posted even listened to the song, and how many just came to write pointless crap somewhat related to Zooey Deschanel?

His name is Matt (M.) Ward. He is part of a supergroup called Monsters of Folk and is an exceptional artist. Zoo(ey) is talented and popular, but it would be hard to forget Matt if you are a musician or lover of all things folk. ;)

Awesomest. Music Video. Ever.

[@comporator10]

У каждой группы есть выдающийся трек, который могут слушать люди с разными предпочтениями. Именно этот трек я поставил на мелодию звонка, так как он единственный из всех этой группы имеет сложность (много инструментов и шумов), ритмичность и вокал. Остальные треки этой группы бедны инструментами и звуками, хотя при должной обработке могут заиграть новыми красками.

I gotta hand it to whoever Zooey Deschanel's management/handlers are. The decision to make her the "ain't I so precious" indie queen was a stroke of ab-so-lute genius. All it took was a bottle of black hair color and some coaching in how to act "eccentric, but not TOO eccentric" and "super kitcschy/cutesy/nerdy"...and boom! Megastar!! Seriously brilliant!
