They are defo one of those secret bands nobody has ever heard of. I found them off the back of finding Modest Mouse, in my eyes the best of those secret mega bands. Odd thing is that so many bands admit to drawing inspiration from them...
This reminds me of the time I was on a train with the big love of my life. He handed one earphone to me, and played this song. The train ran through the Tuscan countryside at sunset. I laid my head on his shoulder, knowing that our time together was limited and watched the landscape to this wonderful song. We only got to spend 10 days together and I never forgot him. Only recently I have been able to play this song again. Before, I just couldn't, I would lose my breath. The memories it brings are too overwhelming.
My two favorite lines in this song are "I want specifics on the general idea" and "I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy, breezy, desert afternoon".
Greg Brown idk....when i hear “i wanna see movies of my dreams” i get fucking goosebumps every time. The idea is so far out yet plausible one day. Just imagine.
This video really reminds me of the Boise I miss. When me and my girlfriend could afford to live in the north end working minimum wage jobs. The whole neighborhood felt like it was full of nothing but artists and musicians. Doug lived really close to me. I would always run into him at the circle k (?) on 13th st.
Yeah, unfortunately those glory days of the north end are long gone. My wife and I got priced out of our house in the north end 8 years ago. An average NE studio apartment will set you back around $1500-1700/month
@JSBselvas check out all the earlier albums you'll get into them for sure. each album is different in style but keeps the feel that only they've created. it's all pretty timeless.
My older brother had me listening to Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Cursive, Bright Eyes, Okkervil River, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Death Cab, and those bands from this time when I was just a little kid. I turn 28 tomorrow and this music really brings me back
Damn I'm 26 and didn't find them until I was about 15 or 16 and I thought it took ME back 😂 I do love hearing other people's experiences with my favorite music. I hope you and your brother are doing well
Funny you mention Modest Mouse, I think the two shared the same producer back in the day. I still have a Boise Cover Band CD that I bought at a Built to spill show in Boise many moons ago. Your older brother schooled you up well on the tunes.
Man I'm a decade older than you your brother might be my bestfriend, lol. Cursive so some post hardcore too, what about at the drive in, or Doug's foray into phc with treepeople.
This video makes me miss my twenties, when life was about good friends and good music. Kelly, if you ever read this - this song will always make me think of you.
I haven’t heard this song in YEARS! But as soon as it started to play, the memories came flooding back of the dances I would make up for songs I loved. Including this one. I would’ve been a hit on Tik Tok if I were my kid’s age. 😂
Every single era of music has comments like this on their message boards. The common denominator: you hadn't yet been fucked into submission by the long dick of capitalism. Growing older shouldn't also mean you have to give up on your wonderment of the world and all the aspirations you have. But that don't pay the bills now does it? Sry for being Debbie downer. I actually come to music to make me feel good so I say this without a frown on my face. Stay up and one love ❤

He is a super-sweet guy. We've lived in the same neighborhood for decades. He's the kind of person you'll run into when you're in a down mood and he'll drop whatever he's doing and try to salve your pain. This has happened to me more than once, personally, and I'm sure its happened to a lot of other Boiseans.
Ive seen him play live in that shirt... Does he have a bunch or is It just a favorite...anyway. The things id do for a BTS MM show where they played all the old stuff. But id take it just about anyway I could get it. Given MM success throw em on as CO headliners and let them go first. Do em a favor Isaac damn. Anniversary tour date for this coming up, superr pumpeddd.
I've seen them five or six times over the last 15 years, and after EVERY SHOW, dug made the rounds and thanked everyone for coming. He's the real deal, man.
You get the car, I'll get the night off You'll get the chance to take the world apart And figure out how it works Don't let me know what you find out I need a car, you need a guide, who needs a map? If I don't die or worse, I'm gonna need a nap At best I'll be asleep when you get back I wanna see it when you find out what comets, stars, and moons are all about I wanna see their faces turn to backs of heads and slowly get smaller I wanna see it now I wanna see it now I want specifics on the general idea I wanna think what I should know I want you to do me what to show I wanna see the movies of my dreams I wanna see the movies of my dreams I wanna see the movies of my dreams I wanna see the movies of my dreams I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner I wanna see it now I wanna see it now
Any, or many of you will, during the throes of finality, reach for the nearest scrawling device and etch down upon the nearest scribble worthy surface most of the lyrics to this song. Whether you heard it during life or not... I'll get the car...
I miss my dad - he was great in many ways but he never thought about seeing movies of his dreams. Doug did that for me. Make the best music you can and give your pops a hug for me if you can.
the song reminds me of the great film Until the End of the World by Wim Wenders (undisputed king of the road movie). It's about a man who is losing his sight and has stolen a machine that allows the user to watch movies of their dreams. He escapes to the Australian outback with the girl you will see in the following clip. Watch from 1:37 along with the song. So great! ua-cam.com/video/8md8py8yVxY/v-deo.html
Holy shit I think 1:31-1:47 is the BTS concert I attended back in 2012 or 2013 in Visalia, CA!🙀🤩 Still one of the best & most memorable shows I've ever seen. I love BTS as well as Doug Martsch's solo work! Things Never Shared & Stay from Doug's Now You Know album were both staples of my lovelorn musical diet after a couple of major break-up's lol. "This strange plan is random at best..." perfectly sums up the existential whimsy of our reality.
Oh hell yes it was. House shows every week. Roughly 20-30 bands playing regular gigs between bars and basements. Its kinda always been this way though. In the previous era we had Dirt Fishermen, Treepeople, Caustic Resin, Methods of Dance, Vine, Psychic Knot, Sleestacks, Butterfly Train, and dozens and dozens more. Doug was in Treepeople which was the first rock show I saw as a teen. You can def get internet results of the first three I mentioned if you want to hear what it was like to be a teen in Boise in the 80s.
@@i_love_soup Its a great place to live but the rent is getting insane lately. One great benefit is getting to see BTS pretty regular, sometimes for free in someone's basement.
Built to spill is one of those secret mega important bands.
for the chosen few

@@duck5tarhave you considered that you're all just young and we all listened to BTS two decades ago?
When the world eventually ends this will play during the credits
Well said
This actually can work for fight club’s ending also

I’m glad my girlfriend will never understand what this means
we've got to come up with a new thing to say about songs like this

You really can't meet him again? This story is so sad... thank you for sharing thou. I can see too many beuty on it too
chia ra i know how you feel , in a way. very beautiful..,
chia ra --I hope we dont only get one big love
I just experienced the same thing. We only had 2 days together as it ended yesterday. I feel like something is missing.
oh sweet youth, what a time, just before adulthood destroys all hope.
doug martsch is such an incredible artist, this shit is straight art.
My two favorite lines in this song are "I want specifics on the general idea" and "I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy, breezy, desert afternoon".
Greg Brown idk....when i hear “i wanna see movies of my dreams” i get fucking goosebumps every time. The idea is so far out yet plausible one day. Just imagine.
"I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner". I love your favorites too though.

36 and I completely understand
I’m 42 and just discovered them today

Haven't heard this song in like 10 years and its still the best song ever. Its a roadtrip must!!
me too, long time without listen...
Should have millions of views. I feel sad for most people who go through life never hearing this
Boise in the house. The inimitable voice of Doug Martsch. Great tune.
i have liked this song for a longer time than the time i lived before i ever heard this song
Me three.
me too
This comment makes zero sense.
Can you imagine liking a song for 60 years?
just hit that age lol
Pat Brown (bass player for Treepeople) @ 1:10 w/ the red shirt. Doug wrote “Pat” about him. RIP Pat
Built to Spill songs build so beautifully. The greatest and maybe only indi jam band.
They have a really good flow
Always has and always will be a special song.
One my favourite things about BTS is Doug's guitar, which travels with him through every age.
bless ben, that guitars been through a lot.
Lol "BTS" 😂
@@queequee7104 what?
@@numerohvh Its because there's a more famous but newer band that is actually called "BTS." Its K-Pop.

1:30 onwards gives me goosebumps every time.
I miss old school indie rock music videos where it's basically just grainy 6mm footage of the band doing random shit.
I hear you.
Best genre of music video! Gold Soundz by Pavement, Wrong by Archers of Loaf are some other examples
This is the best song known to mankind.
seemed like a great time to be alive and listen to this music near it's natal day
same
It ages like unopened Scotch for those with this type of taste
Its a Vintage

Legendary band, started in the mid eightys, great songs, I feel they should be way more famous, they still Awsome though
@@misero6130 Prolly confusing 'em with Treepeople.
Greatest band of all time!
A mostly forgotten indie classic. Love it.
Unforgettable. Its the first song I show people when turning them on to this band.
Nostalgic song
hello future me. its been about a year since i have discoverd built to spill now. hope you're still listening to this song on sunny evenings
I met Doug at a tiny show... he's a such a sweet guy, I told him a terrible girl introduced me to his band. He laughed... :)
He is a super-sweet guy. We've lived in the same neighborhood for decades. He's the kind of person you'll run into when you're in a down mood and he'll drop whatever he's doing and try to salve your pain.

You get the car, I'll get the night off
You'll get the chance to take the world apart
And figure out how it works
Don't let me know what you find out

If I don't die or worse, I'm gonna need a nap
At best I'll be asleep when you get back
I wanna see it when you find out what comets, stars, and moons are all about
I wanna see their faces turn to backs of heads and slowly get smaller
I wanna see it now
I wanna see it now
I want specifics on the general idea
I wanna think what I should know
I want you to do me what to show
I wanna see the movies of my dreams
I wanna see the movies of my dreams
I wanna see the movies of my dreams
I wanna see the movies of my dreams
I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon
I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner
I wanna see it now
I wanna see it now
