Lyrics:
I’m so tired of moving on
Spending every weekend so far gone
Heat wave, nothing to do
Woke up in my clothes having dreamt of you
Swirl in the white evening sun
Tell me that i’m the only one
And I hope I never get a clue
Green eyes, I don’t know what to do
And I hope whoever it is
Holds their breath around you
Cause’ I know I did
And otherwise
If only sometimes
Would you give it up, green eyes?
Passing phases wear you thin
Same old world that you’ve been sleeping in
Anc I hope it never spends you up
Green eyes, what could ever be enough?
And I hope the love that you find
Swallows you wholly
Like you said it might
And otherwise
If only sometimes
Would you give it up, green eyes?
I’m feeling low
I’m not into sometimes

[@randombjorksong]

imagine being this fucking good at 18 years old. at 18 my greatest accomplishment was a c+ in chemistry.

[@cainedeegan2652]

that's not true shaun, you are remarkable in your own way.

[@BluesyVlogs]

Three other names stand out at that age (17, 18). Fiona Apple, Soap&Skin (Anja Plaschg) and Alanis Morissette

[@xleftsidex1627]

Yeah... I wish that my parents could afford buying a freaking Johhny Marr Jaguar for me when I was 17 too, huh...

[@ericfshook]

Let me tell you about a 15 y/o Kate Bush

[@alexandrosofmacedon]

@@xleftsidex1627 yeah, I'm not gonna deny that her music is great but it's kind of wild to assume there's no nepotism involved in cases like this.

[@ColinPatrickWeiss]

" and i hope that the love that you find...swallows you wholly....like you said it might" this song is well written.

[@stephenschaffenberger6765]

"And I hope whoever it is Holds their breath around you Cause’ I know I did" I think this line is particularly lovely. It captures that sort of confessional, innocent love that we experience when we're young while simultaneously exploring a more mature outlook. However, you can tell she's still sorting through her feelings in real time. I agree that this song is well written.

[@jordangibbs9166]

Snail mail give me that nostalgic feeling of growing up and struggling but I can still relate at 30..

[@ezzong]

Nobody ever stops growing and struggling

[@Vaughan261342]

Check 57.

[@TheFunkyfeelings]

Jordan Gibbs Over 9000 here.

[@electrotrance1000]

I think that Snail Mail, Car Seat Headrest, and some other bands out there are doing an indie-rock very representative of this age. The allusions with The Strokes and the 90's vibe are pretty strong and i love it. Thanks for this kind of music.

[@crustpunkjesuschrist]

Snail Mail and Car Seat Headrest represent the new era of indie, which is incredibly lyrical and introspective. Long live indie

[@Ivanna587msp]

Love snail mail and car seat headrest:)

[@scorxx6624]

This doesn't sound like the strokes, thank GOd

[@cactaceous]

The Strokes released their music after 2001, not the 90's and this has no allusions to The Strokes. This just sounds like a sweeter Liz Phair.

[@charlie5thumbs351]

Soccer Mommy is another great one.

[@linashell2696]

Okay so I thought I was going crazy at my job, they added this song to the store song list. I was listening like "They couldn't possibly be playing fucking Snail Mail in Marshalls."

[@calebroberts2130]

First heard it in a Five Guys!

[@MyFictionalChaos]

do you guys live in the north? lol ive never heard of snail mail until a northern friend suggested them to me

[@gonetospace5544]

Yo I was working at a combo Home Goods and Marshall store and I was so hyped when I heard this song playing during my shifts.

[@AnonURnot]

I didn’t expect target to play Turnover or Steve Lacy or Tyler the Creator but here we are

[@shawncicalese4094]

Ill play Snail Mail at Dunkin, we Don t play music Generally at the store, its a second shift thang

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

There's something about these out-of-tune songs that give me a feeling of warmth and fuzziness, like snuggling up against a warm amplifier. So glad I found out about this incredible song through college radio!

[@kitoyobeni1]

Getting J Mascis vibes...

[@doyleperkins4916]

Her intonation in "I hope the love that YOU FIND"...A Robert Smith thing going on there.

[@QuistJam]

This is pure awesome. Great sound, great song and love her voice 💙

[@wyattmichaelproductions]

Woah, I know you lol

[@janetballz5641]

Oh man has it changed

[@josephvengen9989]

Ok... how does one get the "I'm feeling low... I'm not into sometimes' refrain out of their head? One of the best kickin' songs ever written.... what a groove... just out of this world LJ!

This is smashing my pumpkin.

[@superstarquins]

ö. . , yes. just yes.

This is literally my favorite song of all time. I share it with all my friends.

[@stupendoushorrendous8258]

"And I hope whoever it is Holds their breath you Cause I know I did" Well, I'm crying

[@chairmankaga101]

I was a college freshman in 1994, and I can fully imagine myself in the university library in front of a pile of book with this playing on my Sony Discman, pining for a girl...

[@mrhonda1]

I get the same vibes if I close my eyes when listening to this band.

[@kylemankin0605]

great comment

[@LuckyJim5050]

With all the other reasons to love this (obviously the sound, the visceral lyrics, her voice) this video had me tearing up when she was going full tilt away from the aggressors. And she can feckin skate! Stay ferocious!

[@OnavE69]

Came here to say exactly this.

[@ChordataWax]

Homie executes pop, hooks, and edge, all while singing about heartbreak 💯

[@sinkingdeep_13]

I literally take my time in terms of enjoying Lindsey's songs... Before this, I've been into Pristine for 3 months straight, and it had been one of the song I'm jamming to everyday. Now that I'm entering this phase of Heat Wave, then I guess I'll have another 3 months of Snail Mail gem

[@nigelhughes7317]

I alvvays go for this vibe.

[@vani2832]

Nigel Hughes got ya🙌

[@neverxwas]

love alvvays lol

[@splitveins8564]

Same

[@AspenEmrys]

if everybody felt the same way, Lindsey could invest in real estate

[@Rainydayreal_estate]

Marry me,Nigel

[@thewhatness]

I'm more and more excited for Lush with each passing day.

[@lukemoran5537]

The guitar and her vocals go so well together . My ears have been blessed .

[@elireyna9464]

snail mail, soccer mommy, charly bliss--the era of female led indie has begun. I welcome our new overlords

[@adrienflc]

The rock scene is definitly not dead and really promising, lova that song

[@i_dont_know_who_i_am69]

Yeah but unfortunately bands like this aren't mainstream, and instead rock bands like Imagine Dragons and Coldplay are the ones that are mainstream, so yeah, it might not be dead, but the mainstream rock is not good.

[@babyduck9217]

eh..this is an example of how dead rock is.

[@MyFictionalChaos]

This and Oblivion will always be my peaks for indie. The visuals for both. Northern vibes. I swear all the best music comes from where youd least expect it. So poetic, in the minds of young women

[@anniehall7542]

shes very emotionally intelligent. i love this song so much.

[@girlbandgeek]

She shoots, she scores! Another great song from Snail Mail 🔥

[@Ostin3008]

I keep telling everyone Snail Mail, along a few others, will shape the future of the best indie/alt rock to come, and every song they release becomes further proof of this. Lush will def rule, Lindsey is the realest.

[@ricardotreehi2384]

Daniel Garcia Julien Baker, snail mail, Japanese Breakfast, Phoebe Bridgers, soccer mommy, King Krule, car seat headrest... the future of indie music is in good hands. Shout out to Matador records for finding all the best talent!

And Lucy Dacus!!

[@JosueGomd]

Foliage....... THE REALEST GTFO - III BEST ALBUM 2018

[@thewhatness]

Despite a never-ending influx of new bands popping up all the time, as of the last few years it's felt to me that not too many have made too big a splash/project a lot of staying power in the genre. Not to mention, a ton of bands from the early to late '00s have already settled into their fame, so I felt this palpable power vacuum. But now that the senior class has graduated, it's time for a new group of freshmen. There was a breakthrough for me last year in the form of Charly Bliss, but I think Snail Mail is the newcomer that'll arguably make the biggest splash in indie rock in 2018.

[@peytonscarpaci3026]

Ricardo Treehi I definitely agree. Matador has done an amazing job at grabbing all the up and coming artists.

[@BrandonBuckingham]

i love this song so much. it is my favorite right now

[@roblubluw369]

Was not expecting to see you here lmao, but totally agree

[@floatingroots834]

indie rock at its finest, my friends

[@dccorallo]

They’ve got that 90s rock sound.... and I love it!!

[@retrodad1973]

Going to guess I'm the oldest here - at 46 I am loving Lindsay's songwriting, vibe, look and everything else. I have said it about Alvvays as well but it gives me confidence that this generation has not only a future in music but a solid present. Bravo!

[@bluegrassbeer1]

I'm 46 as well and I recently discovered Snail Mail and just love this music!

[@quininde]

Alvvays, Phoebe Bridgers, The Beths, Waxahatchee, and of course Snail Mail. As a 57 year old indie rock dude from waayyy back I am totally down with all these bad ass chicas carrying the torch!

[@jab3593]

At age 44 I'm liking this also.

[@andrewmcdermott3335]

No so young man! I'm 60 and totally digging this! The Valentine album is outstanding! Next time she shows up in Minnesota, I'm first in line for tickets. Rock on!

[@leehamilton6540]

60 here.

[@checkurbrainfly]

This is super cute and bad ass at the same time, the yin and yang , great song

[@nothingstands]

all of these great new jams echo the 90's. makes me feel old balls to say it but the 90's is classic rock all of a sudden. like when we were kids listening to zeppelin and hendrix.

[@mankuro]

crazy thought even crazier that it's actually reality now lol

[@jimlopez4319]

Fell in love with em after coachella. They were soo good live lol now i cant stop listening to their songs

Matador Records is certainly having a streak 🔥🔥🔥

[@stacystevens3179]

it's clear she's played hockey as well as guitar, and knows the game

[@graficandorealidades7561]

dude I remember when she used to do covers here in youtube. Her channel was random like any other. It's a trip to see her became more and more famous in a so little time, while I stuck in the same bullshit

[@thaBloodyone]

She filled the emptiness in my soul .. , her voice is so special I'm truly obsessed with this song it's like a song that could bring people together especially the ones who yarn for someone to love them whole...

Holy shizz, I thought the intro riff was enough, then the fuzzy guitar came in 😮 Shes so talented

Lush and Clean by Soccer Mommy are my two favorite albums of 2018. This year has been so friggin great for music!

[@lowellumayam3720]

This reminds me of Velocity Girl, one of my favorite bands from my high school days growing up in DC metro area. Well Done!

I hope whoever it is, Holds their breath around you, Cause I know I did.

[@suicidalgrooves1130]

Nice song, love her voice and style, this band is so underrated!!!

[@infantryhawk]

I stumbled upon this video by chance a few days back and have been fascinated by it since. Very well made. song and video.

[@PK-cb3fk]

I only discovered this band a year and a half ago and i was like, thank you! Finally a newish indie band to love. They just don't get enough love these days. I was in a very authentic East Indian restaurant when i heard them for the first time. They were playing Slug and damn. I couldn't believe it. I've picked up great music at random places before but i never expected to there. It was so cool.

[@karmachameleon4010]

This is so weird I literally played on the same ice hockey team as Lindsey for a bit. We needed more people for our team so she would come and play with us sometimes

[@breakupnotdown]

Isn't she from here in B-more? They have ice hockey teams in maryland? lol I feel dum

[@karmachameleon4010]

Rolando Winborn nah she’s actually from ellicott city it’s a suburb of Baltimore. It’s all good lol 😂 yeah hockey is becoming more popular in Maryland so there’s a lot of youth hockey teams

[@Dalt21]

Rolando Winborn umm yeah! the Washington capitals just won the Stanley cup 2 years ago , you silly goose!

[@karmachameleon4010]

@Meredith Dady oh dang I don’t remember a whole lot cause that was back in like 2013 🤣 I talked to her a little bit I think? Although we usually didn’t play on the same line if I remember correctly

[@Cranathan]

@@breakupnotdown I've been out of the youth game for about 10 years but they had some great girls youth programs that my team from NJ used to play often! were the Rapids back then but I'm sure they've changed hands since then

Cool! I dig her voice and the melodies of this song!

[@saltyparabolas9561]

I am 29, gay, pathetically in love and going through real intense heartbreak. How on EARTH did Lindsey write, basically my entire experience better than I ever could? wtf did I even do at 18? I think I ate a pile of salt for a dollar... This record is gonna be my therapy and my good good companion for the summer. Thanks for releasing such awesome material

[@Sareybeary]

1992 vibes. So glad there's young folk that know how to play good music

[@lightningboltfiresnake4952]

Amazin video and tune. Read in an article that she was a ice hockey player in her youth and got bullied out by all the dudes, real cool lyrics especially the lyric "Won't you give it up green eyes"

[@calebcox8519]

what about that lyric stands out to you? jw

[@lightningboltfiresnake4952]

the way I perceived is that the people on her team probably said something along those lines to bring her down "Won't you give it up/ give up" etc just thought it was a clever lyric that goes well with the vid too

[@DarkAngelEU]

Also given that it's a love song, the green eyes refer to someone who's pretty, so why don't you just give up being pretty?

[@FocusBeDrifting]

I second that. :)

[@karmachameleon4010]

I didn’t play on the boys team with her but she played on the travel girls team with me so it’s weird to see her so famous now. Also I wouldn’t be surprised there were some real jerks on the travel teams in our hockey organization

[@MrJoesnoopy]

Hell yeah !

[@pumpkin2477]

I remember listening to this in a heatwave back in the summer of 2018

[@gus6736]

Lush is easily one of the soundtracks of my summer. I needed an album like this back when I was in high school.

[@DoesDad]

Love this. I'm mainly a metal guy but this chick gives me the "feels". Very catchy. Reminds me of Super Girls like Liz Phair or Mazzy Star. Good stuff!

[@Miseryplanet]

Watched a video about Bilinda Butcher and they showed a clip of the singer praising her and mentioned the band's name and i was like "well, i'm definitely going to have to check that out. anyone praising Bilinda has street cred with me" and i see it's on Matador as well, which with how much i love Pavement, that's only even more street cred. I can hear both the influences and well, that's awesome. Can't wait to hear more.

Snail Mail sounds very nineties, interesting that Jordan was born at the very end of that decade.

[@Spiderboyish]

Thanks to internet, people who were born in the late 90s have access to an infinite library of 90s music to influence them

[@phronsiekeys]

Yes, this reminds me of the music from the movie "That Thing You Do," which of course was trying to make a 60s sound. But it was pure 90s!

[@mankuro]

Social media gave us replays of the past that we can access anytime we want. I can literally watch most videos and can 9 out of 10 times guess correctly the Decade and sometimes even the year by looking at the fashion and cinematography. This song is massively appealing to anyone who grew up in the late 90's early 00's
