Ezra Furman and the Harpoons "Take Off Your Sunglasses"

[@deadpocketss]

Just found this again after way too long. What a jam. I hear she still hasn't taken off her sunglasses.

[@themsgabrielleball]

Ever feel like you'd take out your shoelaces for someone, and they won't even take off their sunglasses for you?

[@frank_lynnYT]

Give nothing but kindness to the world and those around you. If you feel like someone doesn't deserve your kindness or is repeatedly unwilling to give it back, just don't give them any of your time at all. If you're mean or cruel to those people, things will only get worse. Eventually they'll realize the mistakes they've made and will likely try to make amends.

[@skeezmoney6829]

@@frank_lynnYT God damn, came to listen to a catchy song and ended up with some much needed perspective. BE KIND.

[@joeltarah5637]

This is the most beautiful poem I've read in a while.

[@askidbarrett]

I really like these guys .... Do you think at the age of 57 I might appear ridiculous attending their gig at Preston ? I am a sensitive chap so don't be too brutal.

[@gawdayum6252]

No way! If you’re going for the music, have a good time and take it all in. Your energy will only help others further enjoy it 🤙

[@babblesbabbling]

YES PLEASE GO!! Ezra's music is for everyone : )

[@askidbarrett]

@@babblesbabbling I went and it was a lot of fun and got to meet the young man. 6 years ago now

[@babblesbabbling]

@@askidbarrett That is amazing! How was it? I, unfortunately, discovered Ezra during quarantine so no concerts or meet-ups here :(

[@brunescocba]

I am 48 and this song is my loop on these days!

[@riverreasteve]

One of the great things about Music is that it can make you feel young. There I am, 69 years of age, minding my own business, driving the car. Then suddenly this song comes on the radio and I feel 18 again!!!

[@MrWitchtrials]

Tip for you young'uns, The Modern Lovers debut album.You won't regret it!

[@cockadoodee]

I just heard this for the first time and had to listen to it another 5 times straight away 😍

[@tanjiobenhaus377]

Me too

[@charlotteburke4433]

Music simply does not get any better than this. Pure awesomeness!

[@tanjiobenhaus377]

IKR I love it 🥰

[@morley_93]

I'm balling my eyes out right now and this song never felt so good.

[@ogdenwernstom4085]

I've listened to this song before but this is the first time I've thought about the lyrics and they're actually really powerful. To me, it's saying that you shouldn't build walls around yourself. Be vulnerable and let people love you. Anyhow, wonderful song.

[@akotasun]

I have listened to this so much since the summer of 2009. That was a good summer:) It only had like 5000 views then xD

[@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos]

This perfectly captures what masking depression from your s/o feels like. Edit: so it turns out that Ezra, like myself, is transfemme. Looks like this perfectly captures masking more than just depression.

[@kundalinicobain6897]

Autistic masking?

[@alexgonzalezbartos]

voll!ur bob dylan style...ur fein!!!

[@BarrettLangton]

Ezra Furman is the greatest thing to happen to music in a very long time!

[@oldachm]

Ezra sounds like the singer from violent femmes, love this song!

[@RDe-dw4sj]

He does.

[@neboderkica]

Totally.

[@batfudgie]

This is timeless beauty.

[@kintar90]

@Masaowolf Yeah! And that's awesome that you got them signed. I bought Banging Down The Doors. Such a good album.

[@Zoopersaz]

Oh my god, I'm deadly in love with this song. I have exams tomorrow, but I cannot stop listening to it!

[@fabuliaxFreya]

This is my favorite thing......

[@jamiem2249]

my favourite band rite now, how did i manage to miss them b4

[@bbd0304]

[@izzet0guild0mage]

This song makes me smile. It's a good representation of a stupid fight; I think we can all relate.

[@o0monalisa0o]

[@camilogarcia3478]

[@MarkMathewsMusic]

This is pure bliss! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

[@TownFunk]

Just saw these guys in Columbus and I can't stop listening to this song!!! Why didn't I see a CD stand or something there?!

[@GisGoos12]

Gotta say I love it . . .They've got some other cracking tracks too notably "Faceless Boy". Refreshing and uplifting. . .A breath of fresh air I wish them every success!

[@Killacelt]

Love the band. Love the song. This is a God-aweful video.

[@LaneTechStef]

this band needs so much more attention than they are receiving.

[@ma_de_sa5848]

Damn, I've never been the type of person to like a song for the lyrics or think about the meaning of them but this song really hit me in the feels. Can't believe I'm only just finding this song cri. 😂

[@barreraberman5173]

Holy moly! I love that piece

[@alejandropinero]

i've never met these guys so i can unbiasedly and safely say they're the best band i have ever met.

[@liencam]

How the hell has Ezra Furman remained a secret quite so long....?

[@SeineDudeheit]

[@0habediere0]
