Sloan - The Other Man

[@mikeplaczek2204]

I will never understand how this band didn't blow up in America. So many great songs

[@nope-z5y]

Maybe, like Spirit of the West sang, they're "far too Canadian". Rheostatics too.

Totally agree ❤

[@Mitchell_E_Underscore]

I didn't dig this one when I was a teenager. Now it really stands out to me as one of their best. Sometimes you're just not ready for a song until you're ready, you know?

[@generalsixty2133]

I see what you did there. You’re the other man.

[@Mitchell_E_Underscore]

@@generalsixty2133 haha, nope. Not a story I can relate to in a literal way

[@0verload]

I couldn't agree more. In fact, when I was younger I was never much of a Sloan fan at all. Then as I got older I came to appreciate them more and more, and now I think they're an excellent band made up of multi talented musicians. I feel like they're almost one of Canada's great little secrets.

[@mgaeeeee9150]

Yeah, I get that

I fell in love with her as the other man, and it was the best time of my life so far.

[@methshin1]

This song will never fail to send chills up my spine. I think this song could have been released in any decade and would still be a hit.

[@taliaprice1909]

Agreed.

[@JoxBoxProductions]

TOTALLY!

[@makattak88]

Makes my hair stand on end.

[@RJRepo]

Such a well crafted song.

[@MrColdwilliam]

100%

[@Roxas661]

I remember watching this video back on muchmusic when I was a kid...to this day I still get chills when I listen to it. Genuinely one of the best songs of it's time, and one of my all time favourite songs.

[@Kaigerler]

How does this song not have 1 mil views I used to listen to this when I was a kid

[@blakebegley8978]

I've been the other man regrettably ...this song hits my heart so hard.

[@ManuscriptRe591]

Such a great song with an equally good video. Should be a Canadian classic.

[@shiftyslc]

Forgot about this band. I am ashamed. Loved them so much. Regular rotation when I had things called Compact Discs. Absolute pop-rock top-tier songs, and when they veered into emotional songwriting like this they were even better. They are a gem.

[@baileyjardine1204]

This might be the best song they've ever written...

[@uknowme1811]

This or "Coax Me" hard too say.

[@yusufal-kafir1539]

I love that the opening bassline wants to eat my speakers. This is easily the greatest sloan song for me. So good.

[@bearlongkin]

A classic Sloan masterpiece. Much love from Victoria, BC, Canada.

[@armin88213]

Fun fact: The high school used in this video is where Degrassi High was filmed in 1989 to 1991. It's now Centennial College (Story Arts Centre).

[@Juicy.fruit69]

Finally someone else noticed that

[@marauderguitars]

I thought the outside shot looked familiar then I saw the long ramp on the inside a knew for sure.

[@DaGretschguy]

Just recently remembered this song from when it came out and ended up here in 2023! Great timeless song; I’d go as far to say that it’s perfect!

[@averym7922]

The vocal harmonies are so sick in this one

[@nope-z5y]

Gorgeous, eh? Sloan is a huge influence on the harmonies I write for my own stuff and my session work.

[@crystalbroadbent360]

Nov 2024 and still one of my favourite songs ❤

[@catsofsherman1316]

the four kings of Canada.

[@randydube1423]

FINALLY!!! Someone said it, everyone thinks The Tragically Hip are kings but NO. They are excellent and I even grew up in the same town (Kingston) but SLOAN will forever be CANADA's band.

[@jademcdermott611]

you say that like the hip dont exist, shame.

[@mikecutta85]

This song is a gem 💎

[@Lights_0wt]

This song always had a special place in my heart. First time I saw this video I was hypnotized! 🔥🔥

Yeah. I heard that Sloan started as Slow One (with a french accent)

[@spark4039]

I love the strong Beatles vibe of this tune! Even their outfits are mod like! Still listening in 2019! Cheers!

[@P.Convenience]

Every sloan video has 2 mutual comments 1 : "this band is underrated" 2 : "Beatles vibe" I'm not saying they're wrong, but there is definitely a pattern there

[@dixonhill1108]

When the grunge thing hit, Canada was desperate for a grunge vibe of their own. same with britain/oasis, for whatever reason it was beatles/retro band rip offs.

[@N00bedStr]

Love this song and haven't heard it in forever. It deserves many more views.

[@bengallup9321]

One of their best. Great song.

[@Chris_Blackstock_Music]

I recognize the band director in the video from when I lived in Halifax.

[@InterviewShowCalledAbout]

One of my favorite songs... y'all were great in Hamilton 2022🎉

[@gognoggler7326]

The bass on this one!

[@preciousconnections9463]

Great song!

[@brooklynboy1000]

Remember when songs came out and they defined a small moment, were meaningful and felt like art not trash?

[@edgarboxify]

Alan Parsons Project and John Lennon uniting for a tune in 2002. This song has an intesity not easily described.

[@beckner4200]

Good take

[@NotYourMamasChannel]

Gotta give 89X props from back in the day for turning me on to this song and group. Still jam this song on weekend nights when I'm up drinking Blue Moon and shots of Fireball. 👍

[@ssbtd00m]

Without 89X I don't know if I would know Sloan. CBC just doesn't play enough to make an impression.

[@holskitchenCanada]

What a hook. Yes, this band is underrated.

[@Killbride]

Just saw them last night in KW. What a performance. Icing on the cake was meeting them afterwards for autographs. I fell in love with this song many moons ago/ Hasn't lost its touch yet.

Taken out for life

[@drogoreuak1347]

I love how this song is rumored to be about one of the band members part in a love triangle that featured a couple of Canadian singers - one who has gone on to bigger things - and is so dirty that you are actually hoping the winner is the singer of this song.
