Convince yourself that everything is alright Cause it already is

[@keithstewart934]

Getting a bit harder to do that in June 2020...like living in the prequel to The Turner Diaries.

[@irweaponx]

This song brings back a delicious pain in my heart, makes me go back to when I lost my first love. One of the greatest albums you'll ever listen to from beginning to end, thank you Mr. Yorn, I've bought the CD at least 5 different times from handing it out to others and wear and tear. It's such a beautiful arrangement.

[@stranger-hascandy8600]

This song brings me back to MY first lost love! And the misheard lyrics she wrote in a card to me - “I want to run with you through more than fields,” (instead of moorland fields). The achy irony of taking her lessons and staying with him. Yep. She did! TWENTY YEARS later, it still comes back. Love hits hard, my friend.

[@cordelletsitty4734]

Seen himself many times in Tempe/Scottsdale, I too remember it as a good lost. Such a masterpiece the album was

[@tommy7743]

Me2

[@garrettsouthmayd1722]

We all burned and healed from this song. It is beautiful.

[@DreadKingSaucer]

I agree. One of the best albums I've ever experienced. This song got me out of my depression after my parents died in 2001. It already is.

[@luvthatforyou]

My husband and i are celebrating our 20th anniversary next summer and this was our favorite album. So lucky to have seen him a few times live, can't wait for the next time.

[@courtneytheriault5705]

20 years ago, this song drove me to figure out a meaningful relationship. 20 years later, it's doing it again.

[@CasiodorusRex]

Seriously underrated song.

[@cellistry]

seriously! I got the musicforthemorningafter the year it came out, and it's my all-time indie pop fave.

[@njb1126]

Seriously underrated artist. First heard “lose you” in an episode of House md and really enjoyed Pete’s others work.

[@VC-stang]

2001 all over again!!! I miss them days.

[@debbiemadrid6748]

musicfothemorningafter is one of the best albums and underated! I saw pete yorn live when he was not well known It was epic. The second album the day I forgot was also epic.

[@VC-stang]

Got that right.

[@danielherrera-mata3900]

i envy you so much for that

[@debbiemadrid6748]

Daniel Herrera-Mata thanks! :) You should check out Ben Howard. If you don't already know the genius

[@deel.e.2452]

debbie debra e

[@smothy4986]

I agree Debbie, that album & the day I forgot are classics I cannot believe that he is not more well known, but you know major record labels whatever becomes the "flavour of the month" gets the push if you know what I mean. Still love Pete though

[@matthewcasale1997]

Another really good singer songwriter who should be much bigger. His first three albums are all a great listen.

[@curdledcuntjuice]

What’s up everyone? How are you enjoying your 40s? Who woulda ever thought huhh

[@go_you_huskies]

Just turned 41. It's fucking weird. At least Pete's music is still good.

[@Brian-ic8db]

Mid late 30s thank you very much!

[@jahman6698]

45, still alive, can’t believe this ridiculousness

[@riverbrewer04]

F’kin A.

[@twinklybubblybits]

David Grey is up next 🙄🤙🏽🎶😁❤️‍🔥

[@johnstrange6799]

Pete: "Can't talk right now, I gotta run!"

[@saragrooms1530]

I watch this video and it keeps motivated to run that half marathon. I'm totally serious

[@angellarussell3192]

Did you do it?

[@debbiemadrid6748]

I dont get why Pete Yorn is not as famous as The Killers. The Kilers are amazing. People are missing out! His new band is the Olmss. I lke his older stuff it will never get old.

[@irweaponx]

His last couple of albums are like his older stuff, give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

[@michellem5556]

Maybe he didn't sell his soul ??!

[@Mike-tt9nr]

I got the musicforthemorningafter cd in 2001 without knowing much bout Pete Yorn n needless to say i was hooked n 17 yrs later im still a huge fan. This song means alot to me bc i was in a bad car crash in 99 and i had to convince myself that everything is alright bc i got a brain injury and broke my back. So anyways after u listen to this listen to Sense its just as amazing as this... Oh n Pete n I are Jersey bros...😛

[@skinhead5]

Why can't fools recognize a good song? This is great.

[@Mitch-wc9zx]

Lol who cares about what others think

[@jakehostetler900]

Pete Yorn just dropped like a 4:00 mile

[@nowitsabadtime]

In work boots!

[@gayle4105]

One of my most beloved albums... just excellent!

[@tyrantkiller5388]

Ironically this is really a great song to run to 😂

[@alistdesigns]

I used to run to it, too, lol!

[@shutitok]

How does this not have more views? This song is amazing! And it was all over MTV2 in 2001.

[@Mitch-wc9zx]

KZbin didn’t exist in 2001 bub

[@nowitsabadtime]

The running is one of the best parts of this video

[@timmcPherrin]

totally forgot about this song. great tune.

[@sugaree2011]

This song plus few others off the album are .. well... Masterful. Pete never got the well deserved praise that 90s eclectic music scenes that exploded with the rise of the internet. 20+ years later he still resonates with me.

[@MrStormCrow]

legit this song is underated. It has components of rock and melody blended into one another.

[@kristityler2005]

Tots! This song and his other Black are my faves of his! Rox my sox!

[@artbell6240]

How does this only have 350k views?

[@redandbluebulldog1508]

Musicforthemorningafter is not only one of the GREATEST ALBUMS OF THE FIRST TWENTY YEARS OF THE 21ST CENTURY. It’s quite simply one of the most perfect albums of ALL-TIME!! I’ve seen Pete play live twice and EVERY SINGLE TIME, he BROUGHT IT!! A fantastic performer and musician through and through!! Thank you, Pete!!!

[@benjaminscherliss4594]

You are absolutely right in you exclamation. Top 3 albums of my lifetime hands-down.

[@memesurrectionist5112]

I’m a “Day I Forgot” fan. Great album

[@brennanlong894]

Im a metal and rap fan but peter yorn this bro got heat always love his music just good downtown bar friday night music that speaks to you

[@monicaseibert]

Exactly! Chilling downtown dude

[@monicaseibert]

This song is intense.

[@brennanlong6898]

@@monicaseibert like I said I'm a hood white boy. I grew up on hardcore metal and rap. though good music is good music n Pete yorn such a underated artist

[@jellyn1]

One of my all time favorite songs!!!

[@jamesrobbins1243]

I was rocking this song back in about 2001, had a crush on a girl named Nancy Flores 💘

[@michellem5556]

Great Song !!!!!

[@tammyb885]

Pete always has reminded me a bit of Jeff Buckley. 🖤🖤🖤

[@PeteNThat]

Fair comment. 👍

[@matthewsurman4918]

there is no Radiohead if it weren't for Jeff Buckley, his sound and talent was angelic, Pete Yorn is good but he couldn't wipe my ass.

[@kellythom747]

Same

[@xxsolidsteelxx]

Great cruising music!

[@alfonsomalagon727]

Damn. I missed this.

[@lecheesemeister]

So take me home..

[@whisperingthunder2107]

A classic example of rock and roll perfection.

[@christophermirkovich7290]

Great song great memories

[@YVM75]

Love Love Love this song after "Strange Condition"

[@hemanishable]

This music video is my favorite out of all the music video's I've ever watched. There's someting about running. Just running like crazy when you're not sure about your life.

[@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614]

Looking back, early 2000s were a lot cooler than they felt at the time :/

[@edgartambal5062]

my all time favorite song...pete yorn the great!!

[@nowitsabadtime]

Pete Yorn's music reminds me of living in L.A. Love this guy

[@marcusvillamar8277]

Saw Pete Yorn at Coachella 2002. It was epic!

[@MrIronHex]

Me in 2016

[@SocraticMethodMan420]

RUN PETE RUN!

[@Olivelover]

I loved PY years ago and I still love his music!!

[@Andaman1979999]

Pete Yorn, saw him live twice. (thx Y100 Philadelphia you are missed) Both shows were absolutely amazing

[@er406]

SO great live. Saw him at the Stone Pony Summer Stage many hot August's ago and it was epic.

[@corbitwebb2856]

Y100 is cool!

[@theoccmsrazr]

this record was a fucking masterpiece i mean all PY records are but man holy shit is this an all timer. i mean just listen to this tune! the perfect fusion of indie singer songwriter with pop alt-rock, there is no other song like this before or since. this record is so unique and so perfectly captures this moment in time. Still one of the coolest albums ever released and a measuring stick for how good a millennial's taste in music is. One of the truly great songs our species ever wrote.

[@gt6679]

Great song, great album. Do it again, Pete.

[@johnnymfan5065]

This kid rocks!

[@alexisshepherd4666]

I love my guy Pete😊 What a hipster! And he's quite the looker😊

[@rehabnow]

Ahh yeah! ;)

[@kuwinsitall]

saw him in 2001 and 2002 in Lawrence, KS. Excited he's coming to Kansas City next month! Pete was my college soundtrack back in the day!

[@MacNatter]

I saw this guy in seattle at the mountain music lounge and requested this song!!

My favorite part was when he ran.

[@GirlWhoCantSmell]

My husbands' ex is named Nancy and I still LOVE THIS SONG!

[@lukemcquade4300]

Miss you bro

[@Hearty82726]

[@btms1769]

Run pete run,

[@matthewkardon6845]

He played this song at Lollapalooza in I think 2007. There were 5 guitars of various types. This was the best song in the set.

[@davicus100]

giga dope

[@dskasmin]

Have always dug this song and love the video (saw it when muchmusic was a cable channel (the running part is cool , ? fell hurt ? (Cos it already is .... )

[@equilibriumelementar5339]

Bom demaaaaais!!!

[@user-sd4tn2qc7x]

My favorite PY song, so powerfully uplifting ❤❤❤

[@PeteNThat]

There's a great live version on here, too.

[@wadegarrett1892]

Reminds me of listening to 91x in SoCal..

[@Raquethands]

Hot sauce.

[@vanessadiaz1543]

Yo estuve enamorado por años de una Nancy. Tenia 17 en ese entonces, espero que este bien,.

[@sylvesterquast5832]

Best song foo fighters never did

[@stranger-hascandy8600]

Mind. Blown! I love this song as is, but now I can only hear it in Dave’s voice (while simultaneously thinking about ‘My Hero). What an incredibly insightful comment

[@aaroncannonzzz]

[@mkn.567]

He is the bionic hipster. Coming to a marginalized neighborhood near you. SOON!

[@Lyndanet]

💕✨

[@vimalalwaysrocks]

Brings back great memories.. Its a great song.. I love all of his songs.. very very underrated artists..

[@Jgeneraledger23]

Pete Yorn looks like a mechanic in this vid...chasing down somebody who just stole one of his customers cars! haha

[@anthonymusto3537]

Very Zen.

SO TAKE YOUR LESSONS HARD AND STAY WITH HIMMMMMMMMM

[@kath1017]

When I first heard this song. I thought it sound like a Pixies song. Come to find Frank Black produced it 😆😊

[@raulcesarestradalatorre7662]

Para mi Nancy jaja

[@420fries]

And when you said I could not stay with you That's not the way you would have wanted to be Convince yourself that everything is alright 'Cos it already is Don't sell your heart and break just anyone I want to run with you through moorland fields Convince yourself that everything is alright 'Cos it already is 'Cos it already is So take your lessons hard and stay with him When your car crash comes, don't be misled Convince yourself that everything is alright 'Cos it already is 'Cos it already is So take your lessons hard and stay with him And when your car crash comes, don't be misled Convince yourself that everything is alright 'Cos it already is Yeah it already is So take him home So take him home So take him home Take him, take him home Take him, take him home

[@btms1769]

The real flash

[@floydcarbunkel4247]

Mancy pain x

[@jerseyfresh9187]

Pete Yorn - one of New Jersey’s own! ❤️ If you like this tune, check out “Life on a Chain.” This brings back sweet memories of L.B.I. summer beach houses with friends, partying until the morning, playing all day. ❤️☀️

[@MrCt40]

What happened to him ? Suddenly he was huge in 2002 and then he just disAppeared ?

[@ultimate0death]

Man I love this song, I love the entire Musicforthemorningafter album, I just wish Pete stayed with that style, because I can never get enough of it, while his newer albums are all kinda blehh. But still, wonderful song.

[@er406]

#musicforthemorningafter

[@rootzrebel]

Punx versus teachers '90

[@vearheart42]

@Jgeneraledger23 How ironic, this song sounds like it's about a guy who was with a girl who fell for another guy. In a last ditch effort his "Run" to get her back or make her feel bad about it he tells her "So take your heart, and stay with him. When you car crash comes don't be mislead.Convince yourself that everything is alright, cause it already is." In a way he is running to get his car back, the car he loves.

[@mikeporten8174]

This song just reminds me of marijuana and college.

[@Jgeneraledger23]

This is how comedian Steven Wright would sound if he ever joined a rock band. Look him up, you'll see what I mean :P

[@burtfurt1995]

I once bought a pack of batteries and the box said batteries not included. 🤷‍♂️

[@mkn.567]

don't know whether to caption this video the "Bionic Hipster" or "million latte man"

[@stuff4ever]

My name is Pete and I'm the fastest man alive
