[@luma1498]

they're so underrated, they're so good like wtf

[@dmcpartlin17]

maknaelili BLINK

[@Husigma-d2t]

ikr Best band evar

[@spookieolive]

theyre gaining traction now :D

[@GRreanimation]

video producer: how many puns do you want in your video? the academic: yes

[@CeliacaDeMauHumor]

one BA-DUM-TSSS per second

[@pinterestgirl4]

can tree

[@Girlo98]

visual puns on point 👌

[@42ndsubject49]

Girlo98 yeah lmao

[@RenanAAraujo]

Guys! I'm a Brazilian boy learning English by listening to your songs. I love each one of them. What an amazing band! These boys deserve much more recognition! They're pretty good!

[@thekonk7]

Strokes + Circa Waves = The Academic

[@dianadiana101-u7y]

Couldn’t agree more

[@ch0c0chipc00kie1]

reminds me of the strokes. That's a compliment.

[@evanwilliams1991]

Holy crap thank you! Lol I was trying to figure it out!

[@jamesbrett5200]

more like Circa Waves

[@donnak8195]

who are the strokes

[@dannydorko7075]

the strokes were hugely influential. You could say that a ton of bands in 00s and 10s sound like the strokes.

[@natnaelberhanu-i8w]

The band cues them as their influences

[@elijahherrig9730]

Seriously, how are these guys not global

[@BriBryontour]

Ah lads

[@willmccann9444]

I know right! luv ya bry

[@m.b.0310]

i remember hearing this on the radio in ireland this summer! i immediately wrote some of the lyrics i managed to hear on my phone so that i could look the song up afterwards, and here i am now, 3 months later x)

[@JagodaBuszczak]

That's legit what happened to me ;))

[@m.b.0310]

Blubby blub we must've been listening to the same radio station at the same time then! :D

[@m.b.0310]

***** yesss same with Today FM, they usually tell you

[@Dillpickles66]

Hey this literally was the exact same scenario I was in except I was lucky enough to shazam it in time. Woke up in the car ride on the highway to get to Dingle and I was like "I need this", shazammed it, fell back asleep, got to my hotel, went on the wifi, added it to my playlist :) It was at the time you made this comment as well :)

[@m.b.0310]

Dill cool! yah shazam is always handy

[@cursedspirit9]

The puns only make more and more sense the more times I watch this And it only gets better

[@hellycandy9033]

Excuse me how has this not reached 1 million views yet? The algorithm needs to be fixed.

[@zoooomawi]

Looking back to a CD Me and my apologies We drive out too far Out to the country We get lost and we get high To the mixtape of our whole lives Will you wake me when we're half there? With your cigarette and your long hair? Looking back on those days You and your mistakes Me and my mixtapes Nothing's gonna change the way I feel Nothing's gonna change the way I feel I'm trying to right these wrongs I'm playing you these songs And nothing's gonna change the way I feel Nothing's gonna change the way Change the way I feel In my car there's a CD A mixtape of 2003 A better time for both of us With skinny jeans and roll-ups We look back at our time shared Yeah it's all gone and well who cares? But I do and I tell you It's a comeback for now Looking back on those days You and your mistakes Me and my mixtapes Nothing's gonna change the way I feel Nothing's gonna change the way I feel I'm trying to right these wrongs I'm playing you these songs And nothing's gonna change the way I feel Nothing's gonna change the way Change the way I feel In my car there's a CD A mixtape of 2003 A better time for both of us With skinny jeans and roll-ups Looking back on those days You and your mistakes Me and my mixtapes Nothing's gonna change the way I feel Nothing's gonna change the way I feel I'm trying to right these wrongs I'm playing you these songs And nothing's gonna change the way I feel Nothing's gonna change the way Change the way I feel

[@davidlow6465]

I love the vintage vibes that have in their music videos

[@padawan1769]

they've captured the early 00s rock vibe so well in this

[@sofiusedtosub]

you guys should get the recognition you deserve, this is art, good music at its finest

[@james8354]

The most creative music video I’ve ever see

[@user-we1br6gq3z]

This video could definitely spare me a whole semester of lecture in phonetics x) haha Brilliant song & video

[@spookieolive]

been obsessed w this song for yearsss now, i found it bc i wanted a song for my birth year and figured there probably wouldnt be any that i liked and whatta ykno :D on my 18th bday i listened to it and i got so sentimental for all the other times i listened to it while in high school. this song seriously means so much to me and when i felt sad id watch the mv because its sooo adorable ^w^ love yall

[@queenaunt4531]

That was...pretty damn amazing. First time listening to his band, but I honestly realy like the visuals, not just because of my love of puns but, it was kind of genious. Don't get me wrong, the music was great to and I'll be looking into them more, but I'm just more of a visual person you know. Great video altogether though.

[@donnak8195]

Genius*

[@lubomirgroman3157]

I've been listening to this song for so many months if not a year and I've never got to watch the clip carefully. Now I'm amazed, it's brilliant and beyond my words.

[@Adam-hs1ft]

Love the shout to Phil Lynott at 2:52.

[@uknomix8102]

Awesome video. Nice job lads!

[@commandervandenbroeke5036]

Love this song. Love this video. Love this band. Maybe it's the ignorant California child side of me, but I graduated high school in 2003 and I don't recall us using mixtapes, but we moved on to ipods? Maybe I'm taking the song too literal? But I definitely aged myself just now. 😅

[@imnotsasya]

Dang i love the concept of this video its so creative ugh this band tho they needa get more recognition

[@Agassi_Thingbaijam]
