El Ten Eleven - My Only Swerving

The band El Ten Eleven playing My Only Swerving.. check 'em out www.elteneleven...

[@AfroThunder907]

Here in 2020, I randomly remembered this one of my favorite songs from long ago.

[@A.B.H_da-goat]

Nah im 2024 gang

[@pacxpodcast6456]

My best friend showed me this video when it was first uploaded. We were in high-school. Since then we were both hooked on el ten eleven. He passed away in 2013. This band and song has a very deep meaning to me. I miss him so much to this day. A part of my childhood died with him. The sound of this band today brings me home and reconnects us. I wish he could of heard their new stuff. Thank you El Ten Eleven. RIP Alex.

Jesus.

[@tiIebreaker]

My condolences

[@sharkdavid]

That moment you realized only two people were playing this masterpiece! 🙀

[@deschbono5242]

just now. been loving this song for years. it is literally a healing piece in my life.

[@Iloveyoumotherearth]

i remember this exact video had around 10,000 views 6 years ago when i was just entering high school as a freshman. man looking back at it all, i wish i went outside more and didnt sit on my computer like a potato

[@Snowbound2643]

svrfboard Nick . same boat as you my man. am almost crying at that comment

[@dreamcoma2213]

Why would I want to go outside when it is 3 at night, freezing outside, and I'm hibernating because it's the middle of winter. I guarantee you wouldn't call me a potato to my face. My claws are long enough to open up a can of tuna with ease. "You can talk hot on the internet boy, that's that goofy shit, we ain't in to that boy." - Tekashi

[@catpaws2452]

Same here, now I'm in college so hopefully I can get out more (once corona eases up)

[@emilyhimpelmann2302]

Got to Wicker Park fest just in time to catch this track.... great song, and even greater live! Chicago is amazing. Stranger or friend, everyone was dancing together. It was a beautiful summer evening and I couldn't have been happier.

[@guyincognito320]

+Emily Himpelmann I was there too. Great time. Hypnotic.

[@emilyhimpelmann2302]

+Carl B that's awesome!!! Glad you felt the same vibe :)

[@emulsiondown]

These guys are amazing. My band "Our Dark Horse" opened for them the other night. Blown away.

[@A.B.H_da-goat]

Hey just wanted to let you know that this comment is older then me.

[@Indrid-Cold]

Here’s the poem they named the song after: Traveling through the dark I found a deer dead on the edge of the Wilson River road. It is usually best to roll them into the canyon: that road is narrow; to swerve might make more dead. By glow of the tail-light I stumbled back of the car and stood by the heap, a doe, a recent killing; she had stiffened already, almost cold. I dragged her off; she was large in the belly. My fingers touching her side brought me the reason- her side was warm; her fawn lay there waiting, alive, still, never to be born. Beside that mountain road I hesitated. The car aimed ahead its lowered parking lights; under the hood purred the steady engine. I stood in the glare of the warm exhaust turning red; around our group I could hear the wilderness listen. I thought hard for us all-my only swerving-, then pushed her over the edge into the river.

[@tyedyeerrthing1817]

Indrid Cold interesting thanks fren UwU

[@technoinstructor]

Thank you for this!

[@DesertDemons]

Man did this get me through some hard times a decade ago. I can totally relate to this guy solely through his music. I get it man. It's all good. We made it.

[@blooduptomyankles]

this song makes me happy every time I listen to it, no matter what, has not ceased to fail me and I believe never shall...

[@navidnb1]

Can't believe I haven't heard of these guys before! This is beautiful. I bought the album and the whole thing is just as great. Sad to see them struggle. If you enjoy their music, please buy it! We need to help out the people who's music we love.

[@katguerr93]

Simply beautiful... I feel like I'm watching flashbacks of my life when I'm hearing this

[@annoyingkid7944]

You're feeling nostalgic

[@oran2331]

Literally one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

[@4G8THS]

i went to go see el ten at a bar and ordered a beer when i got there before they played, and tim fogarty (the drummer) was standing right beside me in the crowded bar and no one knew who he was but me and i lost it and we bullshitted for a bit and i got a pic with him and i finally asked why he wasnt in the back and he said because they ran out of beer in the VIP room. coolest dude ever and sickest show.

[@Sobering]

good to see nice comments about these guys, they are notoriously nice and down to earth.

[@OMGwtfBS]

Thanks Pandora for introducing me to this band

[@operationx420]

to be honest. I've appreciated this sooooo much more ever since i started playing guitar. much love everyone!!!

[@IAmTheOwnageBiatch]

imho....one of the greatest ever post rock songs i have ever heard. truly beautiful

[@NickVisel]

Seeing these guys at The Raven in Prescott was probably the best free live show ever.

[@MrMoshmellow]

I feel you, I spend a year in Tennessee with my family and I'll be back in Germany soon. Probably I won't see a lot of my friends here again, I feel like music is the only thing that can make me feel a little bit better about that, especially this song. Thanks for this song!

[@TyProc22]

My friend showed me this band a week ago. And I have not stopped listening to them since

[@uniinvolved]

This band is completely Transcendental.

[@scudlebutt355]

[@craigcaski]

I have listened to these guys in my car EVERY DAY all summer. They just do not get old.

[@EvagabondMe]

i just discovered this band 2 days ago... through the movie Helvetica.. and I am glad I came across you guys... exploring your music is fun... thanks for such awesome melodies guys!!! keep rocking...

[@dorisgarcia1535]

[@mywifeclaire6531]

[@LincolnSequoia]

I have watched this video at least 50 times and never get tired of it!

[@ryandunbar1314]

Got hooked by this thanks to Pandora on the Steve Kimock channel. Thank u Pandora 😊

[@ericormathias]

I had I similarly awesome experience where was stranded at the gig after the show and I got to helpe them load out, and they gave me a ride to my apartment(it was on the way to their hotel) and we talked about life, it was one of the best nights of my life.

[@axl10598]

my favorite song to chill/destress to, always perfect

[@BeekersSqueakers]

It doesn't matter what kind of mood I'm in, listening to these two always makes me happy.

[@cams987]

Pandora opens my eyes to the best new music. Thanks.

[@KevinFitzpatrick81]

How could anyone thumbs down this song? Especially performed live.

[@Killbirdinc]

I'm very impressed with the talent of these two. A New favorite band has been added to my top 20 bands.

[@fashiondenver]

I am thrilled to open up for El Ten Eleven in Denver on November 3rd!!

[@GigiMinor]

[@Cyanopteryx]

Man, discovered these guys a couple years ago. Just started listening to them again. Some very talented boys, these two are [=

[@JoeBaugnet]

Isn't it refreshing hearing talented musicians play music?

[@rookwood5]

[@DGKrew00]

mmm now one of my fave bands both those guys blew my mind

[@crustinjudy]

Ohh man, really this band is top. I saw them at The Raven in Prescott Arizona. Amazing.

[@Thatch4244]

Wow i am literally speachless i play the drums and at 23 seconds in my mind was already blown. Absolutley amazing.

[@boltentoke]

22 people are either mad that they are deaf and don't get to listen to this greatness or are mad it too them so long to find it

[@ThePalindromeProject]

one of my favorite songs by them. so great.

[@randoughwaxland]

It doesn't even matter that their is only two of them.. that may make people believe that it is somehow better.. to me it is simply a beautiful piece of music.

[@NationalSkatersUS]

I can just picture someone skateboarding down the beach line to this song!

[@0rounder0]

these guys are amazing! Liked their music so much I went and bought both their cds... ps.. Helvetica documentary wouldn't have worked so perfectly without their music!..

[@medjlali]

love it! great music and amazing just two guys

[@PhaededRays]

I just love this song. LOVE IT.

[@malfait16]

Great song looking forward to seeing them next week.

[@KrAzYkArL18769]

it brought tears of blissful astonishment to my eyes. i felt a resonance cascade wash over my every being, punctuated with an exclamation of harmonized synchronicity. fuck yes.

[@MangoPowuh]

dang.... all homework done in 25 mins... this music does magic, yo! :O

[@TheWaterBottle333]

wow I useed to listen to them 2 years ago and now I remembered my love for them

[@aday06]

just bought their CD because it's so tough to download their stuff... worth every penny. these guys are incredible.

[@MortalDosage]

Just saw these guys last night. Put on such an energetic show! I thought they weren't gonna play this number but they whooped it out after an encore

[@Wilshy]

This song doesn't even need comments, it speaks for itself.

[@bcap09]

These guys rock, saw them last night at the Bug Jar in Rochester, sadly equipment malfunction during my only swerving, they played some new stuff, amazing

[@MillerChick80]

One of my favorite bands, so moving!

[@IconicBattles]

Discovered these guys on pandora. Wow! What an amazing drummer. To be able to keep up with PERFECT timing along with a delay repeater for guitar is pretty amazing. Double neck guitar/bass is cool shit too!

[@2898paula]

This is one of my favorite songs hands down.

[@mrcole51]

Just mind-blowing. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@arizonaconman]

what a beast, drums and piano at the same time, and the other dude tapping on both sides of a double guitar

[@Parkerdonat]

Great band. Thanks for being awesome, especially being so creative with the loop machine. YOU GUYS ROCK!

[@theclercq]

I did the same thing. I was on pandora and found them Actually playing this song. Its awesome.

[@daniel_zitter]

this group gives me hope for music

[@vivelavidarocka]

I saw them last week here in NYC. Awesome

[@FruscianteLennon311]

FUCKING WOW WOW WOW!!! These guys are my new favorite band right now! I am in awe! This music is so beautiful, so amazing, so mind blowing. This is music is unreal. I LOVE EL TEN ELEVEN SO SO SO FUCKING MUCH!!!!

[@OpFor4]

thats so awsome when only two guys are in that band and they both can malti-task like that and still make an awsome song

[@SmokedOutDreamer]

this video has changed me forever.. thank you

[@CokaTertoka]

Amazing, absolutely amazing.

[@grayzbeardz]

love it. amazing songwriting and use of loops. not to mention the double neck.....

[@kdaus01]

El ten eleven rules!!! So glad the tapping is catching on!!! Been waiting a long time for people to get here haha

[@KeeganK9Dental]

Amazing guys. Most stimulating band live i have ever scene. They had so much to say using no words. It makes me sick to see them struggle, they decided not to sell there soul. But for that, they dont get enough people to support them and make such great music but also have kids to feed. Its a tough dance to maintain.

[@babig1024]

love love love and love some more

[@JeremiahJacques]

I've never seen a guy play bass and guitar simultaneously. Very impressive musicianship and looping squences, and some of the tightest percussion I've seen since Jon Fishman.

[@neveroddoreven9594]

I discovered them by investigating bands on Wikipedia's Indie and Post Rock band lists. This song is wonderful. So very tasty.

[@amoore12344]

this song puts me in such a good frame of mind

[@hinder90]

just saw them tonight at Thee Parkside. Super Hellah Great.

[@movielifeonceago]

just beautiful!

[@sortilegus]

I've been listening to this band for the past few days and had no fucking idea they were only two guys. Holy shit.

[@owhitebutterflyo]

perfect song for this moment!

[@jaybert3110]

I really like these guys.

[@IAmTheOwnageBiatch]

one of the best post-rock albums ever

[@corycaraway]

Been coming here for 15 years

[@kingPrimoz]

thanks, and I really mean it. you added a new meaning to the song.

[@GravityRides]

Seeing them in Houston in early December! Can't wait :D

[@SW00SHB3AR]

Another great find thru Pandora. Excellent song!

[@ProvenParadox]

Wow. Watching the music making process here has blown my mind just a bit. I had always presumed that this type of music was layered track-by-track after recording individual parts, or played by a lot of people. Two guys doing it on the fly? Damn.

[@AudiophileFB]

how could anyone thumbs down talent like that?

[@blooduptomyankles]

I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG. A WHOLE DAMN LOT.

[@KingCast65]

It is a do it all song. Took me out of this morning's mild hangover :)

[@7wheels]

my new favorite band

[@mezuga]

excelent video and music.. thanks

[@AstroZilla]

The piano is only used to play the synth drum effects which are only used for choice parts in the song. He now uses a combination of an electronic and traditional drum kit in live performances.

[@holdmytool]

Nice skills. Keep rollin' out the tunes guys!

[@mshah248]

This song is perfect for a rainy day.

[@jimcee8630]

Heard it on a spotify radio channel and found my head bobbing........... "hey what is this???"

[@cobbrock]

favorite new band

[@FoxBro8894]

i like this song a lot... its very relaxing >.>

[@SmithsnMoz]

My favorite song these guys play is the joy division cover "Disorder" it truly is a good cover of my fav joy division song

[@AplusfOrMoM]

ik pandora played this song on my station and i fell in love
