El Ten Eleven - My Only Swerving

[@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.

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

Nah im 2024 gang

[@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.

[@catpaws2452]

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

[@togir5837]

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@Sobering]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@oran2331]

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

[@katguerr93]

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

[@annoyingkid7944]

You're feeling nostalgic

[@NickVisel]

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

[@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.

[@operationx420]

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

[@craigcaski]

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

[@crustinjudy]

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

[@TyProc22]

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

[@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...

[@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!

[@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...

[@Cyanopteryx]

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

[@BeekersSqueakers]

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

[@OMGwtfBS]

Thanks Pandora for introducing me to this band

[@fashiondenver]

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

[@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!

[@LincolnSequoia]

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

[@Killbirdinc]

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

[@Parkerdonat]

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

[@Thatch4244]

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

[@dorisgarcia1535]

[@mywifeclaire6531]

[@MillerChick80]

One of my favorite bands, so moving!

[@malfait16]

Great song looking forward to seeing them next week.

[@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!..

[@uniinvolved]

This band is completely Transcendental.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@ThePalindromeProject]

one of my favorite songs by them. so great.

[@aday06]

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

[@cams987]

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

[@kdaus01]

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

[@huntrrams]

this is so awesome!that bass/guitar is so sick XP

[@mrcole51]

Just mind-blowing. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@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.

[@grayzbeardz]

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

[@JoeBaugnet]

Isn't it refreshing hearing talented musicians play music?

[@medjlali]

love it! great music and amazing just two guys

[@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!

[@ryandunbar1314]

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

[@scudlebutt355]

these guys are great i listen to the every day when im class there music is so relaxing and original

[@GravityRides]

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

[@KevinFitzpatrick81]

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

[@hinder90]

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

[@holdmytool]

Nice skills. Keep rollin' out the tunes guys!

[@vivelavidarocka]

I saw them last week here in NYC. Awesome

[@TheWaterBottle333]

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

[@NationalSkatersUS]

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

[@rookwood5]

Man, i love the lyrics. Really speaks to me...

[@axl10598]

my favorite song to chill/destress to, always perfect

[@DGKrew00]

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

[@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

[@SmokedOutDreamer]

this video has changed me forever.. thank you

[@dreamtiger2]

good luck finding tab for this stuff. id be shocked if it exists. just saw these guys in tucson. best show ever!

[@2898paula]

This is one of my favorite songs hands down.

[@SW00SHB3AR]

Another great find thru Pandora. Excellent song!

[@pigeontheband]

these guys are so talented it would be an honor to play music with them

[@arizonaconman]

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

[@corycaraway]

Been coming here for 15 years

[@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.

[@bilbomarks]

That was pretty awesome. I didn't realize he was on bass and guitar till the end in the close up.

[@jaybert3110]

I really like these guys.

[@DennyMoser]

yeah i'm psyched...they're coming to KC soon

[@frankenstein01]

Yolaja is opening for them this Friday, September 10th at The Orpheum in Ybor, Florida. Check it out!

[@movielifeonceago]

just beautiful!

[@mezuga]

excelent video and music.. thanks

[@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

[@CokaTertoka]

Amazing, absolutely amazing.

[@GigiMinor]

I love this song : ) makes me all happy : )

[@Delo9762]

this is one of my favorites! fanshawe is the best! keep them coming! Amazing work guys!

[@pgrenn]

love the sound, keep up the good work

[@amoore12344]

this song puts me in such a good frame of mind

[@daniel_zitter]

this group gives me hope for music

[@kingPrimoz]

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

[@Angel1908]

Yo this is hot! I've never heard of these guys b4, i just clicked on a link a friend sent me. This is definitely better than i expected

[@VeneDrummer]

Please come to Texas naooo!!!!

[@frogg212]

Awesome sound

[@Slynn42]

This sounds amazing!

[@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.

[@723400]

Wow, live loops on the fly!

[@MortalDosage]

gonna see them this saturday!

[@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!!!!

[@PhaededRays]

I just love this song. LOVE IT.

[@theclercq]

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

[@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.

[@KingCast65]

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

[@AudiophileFB]

how could anyone thumbs down talent like that?

[@Schlepp420]

i heard this on pandora on Tera Melos radio station. i love this band. stoned or not.

[@Wilshy]

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

[@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.

[@donkeyinaz]

hahaha!!! cant wait to see them on the 30th!!!!!!
