Lyrics:
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
Alright, yeah
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

A Canadian "folk-bluegrass" band in 2022 covering an Acid-Psychedelic-Meditation-Rock Band from 1970s Los Angeles. And beautifully. Musicians are amazing.

[@tamie341]

It loses the original vibe imo. Much flashier/more pop sounding vs the original which was darker and more mysterious sounding

[@thomasshrum4006]

I love that the "special effects" for this video look like they had a budget of $8. It doesn't need anything extra. It perfectly gets the point across and has a pleasingly quaint aesthetic to it.

[@derekworley7515]

Love the band, not the director of this music video. Cutting to the bassist like he's playing a power chord just makes me roll my eyes, 1:03. In Hell I'll Be in Good Company was a simple and amazing music video, this looked like it tried to hard and not enough at the same time.

[@dawndriscoll513]

Hmmm, It wasn't bad, just different? Idk, I'm no musician, but It didn't conjure up Jim Morrison for me, just my opinion. I agree with @Derek worley that it looked like they tried too hard and not enough at the same time. I do like The Violent's cover of this song better (For inquiring minds "The Violent" are a new venture by Mike Protich, Dave McGarry & Pat Gerasia from "Red Sun Rising") It's heavy on electronics and a bit darker, too, but was how the lyrics always felt to me.

Once you get past how everybody makes fun of hillbilly accents and banjos these days, you realize this is some of the best music around if you're in to family, country living and even gospel.

Jim Morrison somewhat defined my teenage years (mostly with his poems), and I would have never thought I will say a cover is better than the original. Then you folks came along.

When I was a teen I went to a bookstore and bought a double disc set of the Doors greatest hits and a book by A.A. Attanasio called Wyvern. Now both the book and the band are inextricably connected in my mind.
