Sunflower Bean - Easier Said

[@altf4705]

Most listened song in 2023, and i still cannot get enough of this song. Everything in this song is charming, even the video is mysterious. I sincerely love this song and obsessed with it.

[@alquinn8576]

it total banger; is true

[@itcu185]

I agree Alfa

[@ziweiyuan]

My favorite part of the video is Julia's thighs.

[@marth3140]

This is the song that made me a fan of sunflower bean 3 years ago and it will always have a special place in my heart ❤️

[@5Pulpy]

Saaameee ❤

[@ibrahimkevinlagosarias3986]

Good taste my pal 👍

[@ufis567]

This song has one of the best guitar tracks of all time. Perfect

[@aledquen]

Dreamy and chill, by far one of the best tunes I heard last year.

[@jnightmare0]

first time hearing this band and I love it

[@5Pulpy]

"You're getting old So act your age It isn't fun To make the same mistakes" What a great songwrittin ❤

[@darkfangedsword8875]

The use of Valarie and Her Week Of Wonders as a theme was so well done in the context for the meaning of the lyrics in the song! This was such a well shot video! How is this band not talked about more??!

[@richarddavis6509]

There is something inherently perfect about this song and video. The jangly guitar. The fall setting. I can't pinpoint it. Perhaps it is the combination of so many wonderful things. Thank you for this unique combination of sound, video, and atmosphere... I'm going to watch it again.

[@oculed1101]

[@ZillMob]

Music is a little cure like

[@nathanahrens6415]

[@ZillMob]

@@nathanahrens6415 yeah I can hear that a little

[@jblitzen]

Jangly is such a great word for it. A very cool vibe.

[@kazeryu17]

This song is the reason Sunflower Bean is one of my favorite bands. I would love to see them live as soon as this pandemic stuff is over.

[@franciscoaristeomontero7610]

Hace dos años que conocí a esta banda maravillosa con esta iconica canción, ❤

[@chrissilver5448]

This is the definition of good indie music. I love witnessing them explore their sound with this song and Wall Watcher. Really growing into a band after that great EP. Loved you at Beach Goth!

[@nostalgicleitmotif]

She really does have that sullen-sexy look down. And fantastic harmonies during the chorus.

[@offsideandy]

[@hozerveedubb_twosixx5296]

The way she dances lol cute

[@Agent-sb5jy]

Still giving me goosebumps...her voice...the guitar... ruthless rhythm.

[@TheWafflesMaster]

Most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. I am so blessed to be able to watch this from the safety of my home. Be thankful, this is truly amazing.

[@anguish777]

please don’t eat her, gator

[@NathanStark]

This is too perfect! I totally love the imagery and film used for this. Totally different from the other videos. Keep the iconic style guys.

[@bushmanwest5109]

Nathan Stark bidding you ever watch the American horror story where they are all witches ... Reminds me of that

[@terivaara]

Proof that good music is still being made! Love it✌

[@nicolita222222]

Saw them open for Cage the Elephant and Portugal. The Man. Awesome!

[@nuyisaolvie]

the song and video give off an old vibe almost nostalgic like something from the 80's I love it

[@mutedisease21]

+Marc Rodriguez exactly my first thought! Looks like an 80s obscure new wave band's video.

[@pulchritudohumana7563]

genres are timeless! There will always be bands continuing a genre, just gotta find them!

[@jaxthedisintegrator8096]

Nuyi Saolvie Makes me think of 90's shoegazing music videos.

[@jackjude]

very early 90's, the seed of that is in 80's dream pop and Sarah Records stuff (which this is more like)

[@tobimarucrypto2862]

Nuyi Saolvie same to me , this is why we are best friends .

[@VevoUK]

Long Island trio Sunflower Bean perfect the melodic guitar-pop formula with their glistening single, "Easier Said". It's our new Vevo UK TRACK OF THE WEEK.

[@miked4309]

+Vevo UK this sounds like 1980's new wave. i love sunflower bean. very cool sounds.

[@David-sp9vd]

+miked4309 Dunno sounds like New Romantics to me, but I guess it depends on how wide you define New Wave.

[@David-sp9vd]

***** I thought they were largely UK references I was thinking of but okay, which region again?

[@David-sp9vd]

But I was wrong on the New Romantic line (apparently that describe the kind of new wave in the american eyes), I was thinking that was the description for Johnny Marr like guitar that you hear from many different bands these days, by DIIV and Wild Nothing (Both Brooklyn affiliated like Sun Flower Bean) But those are american bands taking shoegaze, dreampop and okay New Wave? Then again New Wave as a genre was used to describe American bands like the Velvet Underground. But yeah, MTV changed that definition as it was only UK artists that made videos and they needed something to describe the next wave of punk.

[@miked4309]

sunflower bean has lots of sounds. this song sounds new wave to me...like flock of seagulls. but other songs sound like psychedelic 70 sounds...when i saw them some parts of songs sounded like black sabbath. how would you describe the wonderful band Wolf Alice? there's another complex sounding band.

[@JohnSmith-zf1lq]

Most hipster shit I've ever seen. Added to music playlist.

[@joe-uj5zz]

Heard this playing today in background at a Japanese cafe on a Twitch stream.... Still love it

[@Ferjorc]

'24 y aún la sigo escuchando y me hace sentir igual cuando la escuché por primera vez ❤

[@Velosiraptoras]

You try hard to see but I am on the outside Give me one more chance to see that I'm in the right mind Act so tough, make it cool Don't be afraid to see It through But I'm not scared to take the blame It's not your fault and that's okay Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time Trying to run but I can't when it's in my head Should have just stayed home when I'd rather be alone instead You're getting old, so act your age It isn't fun to make the same mistakes Give it up, it's getting late Make those words, I'm not afraid Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time

[@hdskl2150]

Thank you!

[@michaelkepple]

Cannot get enough of this song... intoxicating! Dug deeper, there is some serious depth with these guys, great catalog for a youngish band!

[@madelinjazmin6637]

Omg, amo mucho está canción, me trae recuerdos muy lindos y a la vez muy tristes, 🗝️❣️🎶

[@Ferjorc]

[@rivamurari765]

love this song, the way she dancing is so perfect. I'm in love

[@soapyshoe]

Lead singer is tall, beautiful, feminine, and "real". Bob Dylan makes a comeback. Fire. Grim Reaper. Leggings. Sparkles. Wings. Motorcycles. Shaggy blonde hair. Jangling guitars and soft-spoken vocals. All shot on vintage film. This has been stuck in my head for 2 weeks straight. Feels like I'm listening to it for the first time every time.

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

Everybody in this band rocks. Mad props to the guitar player, he fills things up beautifully with a georgous but very revealling ultraclean guitar sound

[@MikeBerman]

This band is special. Great video of a great song.

[@AJLangford]

Cool song. Love the retro style video. And she's so cute!

[@lucasrafaeldossantos803]

I love this song so much, i cant stop listening to it

[@jenniferthongbam298]

I love "Sunflower Bean"!!...Cheers all the way!!...One of my favourite bands!!...Plus i love the Music video...Great combination, right??...

[@brattyvic]

Saw them on Halloween 2015 and they were so great live I'm in love w Julia 😍😍

[@1eversince]

you saw them at trees in dallas too??!

[@brattyvic]

[@jamseyy]

+Victoria Garza lies they were in austin that night!!!!

[@brattyvic]

I saw them in Dallas the night after Halloween sorry for mistaking lmao??

[@jamseyy]

ayyy it's okay just dont let it happen again lmoa

[@zirconviper]

It's nice to run into artists that still believe in the old ways of music. There ain't nothin' but the old ways.

[@IsaacJ143]

amazing piece of Jangle pop. Love the guitar and her vocals are impeccable.

[@matthewk183]

Perhaps a harbinger of another era of great music to come. (Hopefully) :)

[@clayallen7258]

The perfect song for a High School movie ending

[@lexidaum4444]

I heard this song for the firs time last night on my first date. It was like a movie scene. He said to stop being nervous so i said "Easier said than done" before that lyric even was even sung. It was really awesome.

[@chronoswitch930]

They sound like a mid to late 80s band. Love it.

[@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo]

This track specifically is reminiscent of Young Turks by Rod Stewart.

[@zack10101]

[@alexwalsh541]

Everything about this song is just so beautiful

Thanks ;-)

[@matthewmartinez4332]

Her dance moves 😍

[@InayahH]

she looks like a cross between grimes and scarlett johansson also i really dig this!! 💖

[@Omarti1]

+Inayah Hussain THANK YOU!!!

[@miked4309]

+Inayah Hussain she looks like Grimes.

[@lucasboden]

+Inayah Hussain If Scarlett Johansson never got her nose job.

[@anabelenloki]

yes I tottally think so

[@CamilaGadelha]

+Todd Boden the girl is a super talented musician and you're only noticing her fucking nose? you're a dipshit, sorry.

[@philyarn703]

the opening part where she swings her head back and forth is mesmerizing love this song and group

[@ambeckerful]

I see a strong "Valerie and Her Week of Wonders" influence, visually

[@MSchadefr]

0:16 Is a scene from the film Valerie and her week of wonders

[@anderspernefalk827]

Perfect combination of Diiv and Fleetwood Mac in sound.

[@sydholgersson7515]

Ce genre de mélodie peut ouvrir une porte dans l'espace-temps...

[@christianedwards2774]

I was listening to Rhye - Open when this song was recommended via and advert by Vivo. I have to say, I haven't stopped listening to it, and it's been 24 hours since it was first advertised to me.

[@Cragiesea]

Julia reminds me of Claire Boucher (Grimes) with a band and she is so lovely! Guitar work is great and reminds me of early "The Sundays" sound, drums are great and tight as well. So excited to discover this gem of a band. excisted for what is to Cumming, I mean come!

[@rawoctopus2542]

She even talks like her in the interviews.

[@LordVresnor]

It reminds me of Camera Obscura...!! Nice job Sunflower Bean. LOVED IT!!!

[@fennec13]

What a refreshing sound it reminds me very much of Sixpence None the Richer, 10,000 Maniacs and the Sundays . Beautiful vocals and wonderful composition Sunflower Bean is some amazing stuff.

[@ericsheahorn]

You try hard to see but I'm lying On the outside Give me one last chance to see it I'm in the right mind Act so tough, make you prove Don't be afraid to see it through And I'm not scared to take your place It's not your fault, emancipate Easier said than done I heard you right the first time Easier said than done I heard you right the first time Trying to ride by our cabin It's in my head Should have just stayed home when I'd rather Be alone instead You're getting old So act your age It isn't fun To make the same mistakes So give it up, it's getting late Make those moves I'm not afraid Easier said than done I heard you right the first time Easier said than done I heard you right the first time

[@geenomoney]

Loving the guitar wizardry....loving the voice........just loving it.....

[@DanDiatomic92]

First song I have heard from this band :D and I am hooked

[@JerryWilliamswebshowsandfilms]

Keep coming back to this song...love all their work, but still the one I pull up first...

[@BorisDraconian]

wtf? are they time travelers? this sounds so classic 90's even the video is. Great music, gives me hope.

[@Strawberryknight]

it's about 80s actually

[@eoinszudy8604]

This is very much so not a 90s sound. It sounds like early-mid 80s British indie and new wave.

[@patrickhawkinson8399]

Too jangly to be 90's. Very 80's.

[@santiagotrejo5948]

The sweetness of her voice and her dance make me fall in love

[@kendall354]

The honesty and freedom in the way she moves along with the movement in their sound catches fire to my soul...much like the one in the video. This song captures the feeling of release and truth. Well done guys - you have a sacred magic about you that’s other worldly. Without a doubt my new favorite band.

[@ckosh1]

Yeah this is my fav song and fav video of theirs. Completely obsessed. My fav.

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

So that's where Phoebe Bridgers got her look from. She can't come close to this songwriting and guitar playing, this is top shelf.

[@brooke6224]

Thank you Snapchat for showing me this band. They are so good

[@vale011074]

Agreed, I found out the same way ha

[@fantasticplanet2002]

same here

[@user-rq4wt2ot1p]

Same

[@idreamtadreamlastnight]

same ah ah

[@Winty67]

I saw them live a few weeks back.. I discovered them as they supported Wolf Alice last year.. The debut album is top drawer

[@viniciushsales]

Sunflower Bean has become one of my favorite bands today. I really want to see what direction they are going to take in the next albums and I look forward to them. *Many kisses from Brazil* 🇧🇷 ❤

[@Hanndr0]

Love the music & her voice is just so soothing. The guy in the robe & some things remind of this movie called "Valerie & Her Week of Wonders"

[@phoenixx100]

Sweet music, moves and voice. Win!

[@sarasparks1992]

Easier said than done.

[@whansandceros]

This song saves lives.

[@brunaamorim08]

FINALLY 1 MILLION, THE BAND DESERVES

[@matthewphillips465]

I saw them in a suburb of Pittsburgh the other day. You'd think they would be above a place like that, but they played a great show and stayed after to sign autographs and stuff. A great bunch of kids. I hope they get the success they deserve.

[@eppoi8687]

Julia is so amazing

[@seorandyless]

good vibes and her voice so beautiful and sweet but what it does it for me its when those cymbals hit... oh man~ i need to hug some1 to this

[@Titil3223]

I don't know why, this makes me feel so good.

[@HookHandHank]

Great song, and I greatly appreciate the ‘Valerie and Her Week of Wonders’ imagery. 👍

SFB R THA GREATEST BAND RECCENTLY...... I COME TO TEARS. LUV YA BACK BEANIEBOYS AND GIRLS.

[@EsmeMarion]

Kinda sounds like a mix of Blondie and the Cranberries... which is an awesome mix. Hell, Julia Cumming's voice is soothing like Debbie Harry's and it has that Dolores O'Riordan edge to it.

[@davidoriordan9967]

So true 👌

I would have said the other way round Dolores soothing lilt and Debbie's edge.

Philadelphia radio station. Radio104.5 station Jammin Jessie had got this song in my head yesterday at a center City station event, she didn't know this band! So I promo Ed it, love you still need to see ya live,

[@anselmoecheverria6342]

Este grupo de pop indie se ha convertido en toda una sorpresa del 2016. Procedentes de Nueva York son en realidad un trío formado por la cantante y bajista Julia Cumming, el baterista Jacob Faber y el vocalista y guitarrista Nick Kivlen, Todos menores de 21 años y amantes del rock psicodélico, con ese toque tan atractivo de post-punk, por momentos tan irreverente. La primera vez que se supo de ellos fue con una canción tiTulada "Tame Impal" en 2014, un año después lanzaban un EP y a principios de este 2016 "Human ceremony" su primer largo, que se presentaba con ese primer sencillo "Easer said", dulce como la miel y picante como una guindilla. A lo largo del álbum hay piezas pegadizas como "Wall watcher", trallazos guitarreros del calibre de "Come on", "This kind of feeling" o “I was home”. También hay piezas de dream pop: “Creation Myth” o “I want you to give me enough". La cosa promete pero habrá que permitirles que se liberen de esa contención shoegazer para crecer y hacerse más inquietantes. DIIV, The Vaccines o Wolf Alice les han invitado como teloneros en sus giras. Sunflower Bean actuarán el próximo 23 de noviembre en Sala Sidecar, de Barcelona, al día siguiente en la sala Siroco de Madrid. Las entradas ya están a la venta a un precio de 16 euros. Su sonido rico en guitarras vigorosas y efectos psicodélicos crece sin duda en directo. Música independiente novedades.

[@luiseduardovalcarcel]

Anselmo Echeverria Yo los conocí con un sonido más post punk este es más dream pop pero igual me gusta son mis favoritos junto con la banda Winter.

[@danielhussey3631]

Beautiful video. Was fortunate to catch these guys live in Madison. Excellent show!

[@KLiNorge]

Love the tone and colours of the vid. I could imagine this song being played by that hipster DJ from the local bar on that one night a week he plays stuff

[@davestevenson2013]

First heard this on WNKU and simply loved it. Probably watched this video 30 times. Something hypnotic about it.

[@paaw9835]

literally the most beautiful song i have ever heard.

[@kelman031]

Great song and the video is worth watching to see the dancing that starts at 2:36
