Fruit Bats
Приєднався 3 лют 2016
The official UA-cam channel for the indie, folk rock band Fruit Bats.
Since the late nineties, Fruit Bats has revolved around singer/songwriter Eric D. Johnson. After five Fruit Bats albums Johnson shed the Fruit Bats name as a cleanse of sorts. Grief-stricken after the loss of his wife's pregnancy he felt the need to to start afresh. In the process of grieving, reflecting, and resigning himself to his new realities, Johnson realized how much weight a name can carry and how much of his sense of self was contained in just two small words - Fruit Bats.
In 2016 Fruit Bats return and the rebirth parallels Johnson's resiliency, and Absolute Loser is his treaty on how to redefine oneself after tragedy. Although he maintains that he doesn't have it all figured out quite yet, Johnson acknowledges that with that self-awareness comes some sort of acceptance.

George would be so proud …
What a pretty song. So simple and relatable
11/11
great song!

I like this song but can't bear the video. EDJ with a painted face, smoking on screen, puppets moving around without any congruence. The video is an absolute disgrace to the lyrics and the meaning, and the music.
Chatgpt recommended this to me
One of the best ever written!!!!!
I don't know how I came upon this song but I love it
G. R. E. A. T.
Very nice. Has a bit of a John Lennon Watching the Wheels sound to it.
Eric's videos are as entertaining as his music.
Fuck me, that's fucking awesome.
I am seeing you at the caverns in tennessee this summer and I was requesting for you to play “it all comes back” from your new album 🙏🏻 it would be so cool to hear it live :) thank you!!!
perfekt
Can't wait until this band blows up. What a banger. ❤ (ETA: PNW represent!)
Guitar riff at 2:12 sounds like Smashing Pumpkins “I’m Going Crazy” (hidden track at the end of Gish, 2:10 on the song Daydream)🤔
First time hearing Fruit Bats, not gonna lie, I'm not one to listen to this type of music, but I like it.
Vem para belo horizonte. Brasil
Ahhh, nice to hear Fruit Bats. Hello from Houston, Texas.
Thank you EDJ
Eric Johnson aint ever gonna stop! Consistently amazing music since Echlocation. I saw Eric open up for Band of Horses (before they even released their first album) and Iron and Wine a loooooong time ago. So so good. When you love somebody, it's hard to think about anything but to breathe!
Some Deadhead told me about Fruit Bats, really liking tunes !
Heard on college radio when Pet Parade came out, rubber soul vibes and instant fan. Finally saw last night, and second half of the set they layered disco over country, sweet spot 70s and total Dead vibes. Great live act!
Very similar to the swimming song by loudon wainwright
I didn't think it was possible to find the perfect song for longboarding..... This, 👇 this👇 is the song.... I mean this song . This song is perfect for longboarding its a whole vibe
Sting is killing it!!!!! So glad he left wrestling
With the benefit of...
A very great band
I thought someone found an old secret BeeGees song somewhere, or maybe a new song from Cage the Elephant…but no, Fruit Bats! LoL. U know how many documentaries on fruit bats I had to sift through before I finally found this video, and still didn’t know if it was the song I heard on the radio cause the video seemed like one of the damn documentaries I’d been sifting through! LoL. Well worth the search, though.
Saw Eric D Johnson in The Shins, Edinburgh 2007. Fruit Bats fan ever since.

3 yrs ago it turned on Saturday 🎉😊❤
lol that is hilarious!😂 re-listening for the many-ist time I love this song. But first time ever watching the video! In the year 2024! Very fantastic hope yall are doing well! Hope yall survived the planned-demic!
Sensational, I can’t big up this man any more than I do so these comments are for the drummer. Man, you are in the groove! Your facial expressions and body language sum up exactly what you are hearing and contributing to. Bravo dude, and bravo Eric and the rest of you!
SO GOOD. Thanks for sharing Eric ❤
That guitar solo! 🔥👌
I have just discovered this album from a friend and I can’t stop listening to all their music.
🔥
Where does one obtain this single curtain? I did not see it listed on your merch website. is Bed, Bath and Beyond stocking it? Please advise, would love to listen and feel.
Sounds like roy orbison
His sound doesn't really fit into any genre its his own
Omg sooooooo goooooood
Great video. Great song. I empathize! 💖
Relating to and resembling this song 🎵 on many levels
This is HILARIOUS!!!
