Pinegrove - Old Friends (Schuylkill Sessions)

[@Jamesmarkland]

"I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago I saw some old friends at her funeral" Hits me so fucking hard every time

[@jaerivus]

Your comment was one of those fabled moments where I was *literally* hearing those lyrics as I was scrolling and read your words. Upvoted you for your sorcery alone.

[@benjones7634]

absolutely one of the best, hardest hitting lines.

[@metroslendy9870]

@@jaerivus just happened to me too

[@liamdawe5231]

AMEN

[@MarcAlcatraz]

I always hear this lyric as “a funeral” finding out it’s actually “her funeral” makes it hit so much harder.

[@kaitlinmoen3213]

this song really has encouraged me to call my parents more often...and shamelessly adore my friends.

[@jaerivus]

@@TheMostCursedSportsShowPeriod Just what I wanted to say!

[@kaeroplane3200]

Pinegrove gives me a feeling I haven't had in years. After Her's passed away, I found myself gravitating back towards Pinegrove and Henry Jamison. Their voices, their music, the lyrics, everything. It all speaks something, some kind of pain and grief yet self peace and happiness that I could never put into words in times I can't go on anymore. Thank you, guys. You don't know that your music is powerful enough to keep someone alive. We love you!!!!!

[@stylesdangerfield]

Epic.

Did he get canceled #metoo style?

[@spencermckay5662]

I know this was 2 years ago but when are you guys doing a session with Pinegrove? (New Friends?)

[@jhubsley]

Spencer McKay Good news, they've already done a session with Little Elephant! Did you happen to find it for yourself in the last month?

[@spencermckay5662]

Hunter Billingsley Yeah actually, it's really funny. I've been watching Little Elephant for over a year and I think every session had been suggested to me except for the Pinegrove one, so I was really surprised when I saw it after seatching for New Friends.

like a prescription

[@bevinpg]

My friend Leah passed away a few months ago and I wish I saw her on a bus beforehand. I did see old friends, she brought so many people back together. Just miss her so much.

[@runforcovertube]

awesome song

[@mikeysmith2999]

Beautiful songwriting

[@RollOpeo1]

i love the weird pacing of this song

[@jamesgarrett9067]

Exactly.

[@ObligatoryPun]

4/4? lol

[@davidrich27]

I feel like the vocal melody is following a sorta gallop/shuffle rhythm that's maybe dragging just a little behind the beat. Gives the song an off kilter vibe.

[@l.bokros684]

evan says all of his melodies/ rhythms are just based on conversations or talking, which you can really hear. its sick

[@gussssie8374]

the colors in this video

[@alyssavocadoo]

pleasing and nostalgic

[@mj68874]

It's from the 1981 pallet

[@stuartobrien137]

SO GOOD

[@rusticteacher]

this guy can freakin sing man

[@zel9502]

The setting where they were recording this song is exactly how I imagine the song looks like whenever I picture it while hearing “Old friends” if this makes sense

Pinegrove is just an amazing band. This is one of the songs that makes you so happy, but you cry at the same time.

I dont know why but this is one of the most inspiring songs Ive ever heard. So damn good.

*I knew happiness when I saw this* [ I just accidentally clicked this video in the recommendations but now I'm loving it ]

[@orcinusvox5107]

This is how I found pinegrove 7 years ago… why I learned guitar, why I love to sing… sure does make me feel so many things to pop back in and listen as I get older

[@justmyfavorites1765]

this brought me to tears instantly honestly this music means so much

[@soopsammich4533]

I found this song and aphasia a week before Christmas. Pinegrove saved me. Music is magic.

[@rynepacheco7879]

does anyone think the E to A chord progression will EVER get old? i mean seriously i can't bring myself to writing an emo song without it. it's just too fucking perfect.

[@mechaLeith]

a I (E) to IV (A) change is almost where the music 'wants' to go.

[@awesomfog345]

the accuracy haha

[@CharliMorganMusic]

It is objectively the happiest switch that can be made.

[@edannoble4116]

​@joeis18 thats not true emotional objectivity does not exist in music nor most things

[@deedeewhipple4668]

With a culture spinning, you've found your voice to sing. Life not to your liking but you made a happy ending. Thanks for singing your song.

[@CiscooKidd]

A friend of mine died 4 years ago. This song anyways reminded me about how I should have been a better one to her. My life’s changed in so many ways I can’t even explain. I’ve lost so many I love. I’ve become a completely different person, yet all I can do is think about the past. Everything changes, but some things keep reminding you of the life you had before. The people you had before. That’s what this song brings to me. An old life. An old friend…

Walking outside labyrinthine Over cracks along under the trees I know this town grounded in a compass Cardinal landed in the dogwood I keep going over it, over and over My steps iterate my shame How come every outcome is such a comedown? Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down I kept saying I just wanted to see it Saying, "What's wrong with that?" Needle shaking out lines in the compass Every outcome is such a comedown I knew it when I saw it So I did just what I wanted So I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it I saw your boyfriend at the port authority It's a sort of fucked up place Well, so I averted my stride on a quick one He's coming back from going over to your place, huh? I feel like I could forget about it I feel like I can mellow out I don't feel undone in a big way There's nothing really bad to be upset about But when I thought I was getting better I woke up on the ground An appointment, oh disappointment A set back, oh another comedown As if I needed a reminder I do only what I wanna So I go through with this Walking out in the night-time springtime Needling my way home I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago I saw some old friends at her funeral My steps keep splitting my grief Through these solipsistic moods I should call my parents when I think of them Should tell my friends when I love them Maybe I should have gone out a bit more And you guys are still in town I got too caught up in my own shit It's how every outcome is such a comedown I knew it when I saw it Oh, I did just what I wanted So I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it I saw it
