Lyrics:
Let's just forget
Everything said
Everything we did
Best friends
Better-halves
Goodbyes
The autumn night when we realized we were falling out of love.
Not to be overly dramatic
i just think it's best, because you can't miss what you forget
So let's just pretend everything and anything between you me
was never meant.
(some things were said weren't meant)

Iron & Wine + American Football = Bon Iver
When Justin wasn't serving an agenda.
*early Bon Iver*
@@PatronSaintSpyridonlol... not hating others isn't an agenda.
So can someone give me some band suggestions with the same sort of feel as American Football, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Jose Gonzalez, etc?
@@PaddyMcMe Fleet Foxes
*HOW IS THAT HOUSE NOT A NATIONAL LANDMARK YET?!* 👏
it is, google has it listed as so!
@@samonthebrink what's the name
@@Karlvonstinky look up "american football house" on maps
@@KarlvonstinkyAmerican football house in urbana Illinois
@@samonthebrink google listings are public driven and not official
Time to cry like it's 1999.
I'll cry till the wheels fall off
... hello?!? Iron and Wine covering AF???? in the year of the Lord 2024?!?!?
We need Gregory Alan Isakov x Tiny Moving Parts or Modern Baseball next!
@@kalebdombeck2108 There's a whole covers album coming out for the 25th anniversary. Manchester Orchestra does Stay Home, Yvette Young does You Know I Should Be Leaving Soon, plus many more.
I can’t believe it! What an amazing crossover!!!
I was thinking, "I never knew this happened"
Oh, because it just happened. Awesome!!
I’m confused bro but not mad
My friend I used to exchange songs with back and forth passed away a couple years ago now. I know he would have loved this and I wish I could send it to him. Miss you, Ed.
Maybe he can hear it through you? Fair winds, Ed 🙏
I hope all the people we love and lost can still hear the music, even if only when we think about them
Turning the bridge into an outro was a very solid choice.
Never meant isn't necessarily never meant to be.
wow i've never felt so in the middle of a venn diagram
My God. I just did a search for Never Meant because I wanted to listen to it in the park on this warm late Winter day. Only to find it covered by one of my all time favourite bands. What a great day.
This is actually the house on the cover. This is conceptually insane. Beautiful rendition as well 👏
Fun fact, the band, the photographer for the cover, and Polyvinyl Records own the house.
@@osidiusemphatic3505yep, they all bought it together to stop it from being torn down and replaced with condos
The cover art for all three LP's are visible in this music video. Absolutely stunning work.
@@millennial_falcon2240 and now the band listed it on airbnb
This song makes my ears happy and my heart sad. Perfect.
American Football really tapped into something incredible, I gotta say. A distinctly American experience of those suburban homes and that life and culture all around it. And the music (specifically the originally I am referring to) is as uniquely stark and beautiful and melancholic to describe that experience.
It's a good day to be an American Football fan. (Just like everyday, but especially today)
literally bawling my eyes out right now. amazing how music can transport you to another time and place. I was 14 or 15 when I first heard never meant.. and now at 35 all those feelings I had then, come rushing back. Take care everyone.
Same.. it’s a timeless jam. I remember using Limewire to download their discography lol and I would listen to this on repeat.
@@charlysaur ahh yes I remember the days of yore lmao.. limewire and kazaa and a grab bag of malware!
I’m bugging. I had an ex who ruined Iron and Wine for me. Sorry about that. I listened to American football after that relationship ended on repeat.
This is a legit full circle moment, and I’m sorry I’ve been away 20+ years 😢
Had the exact same situation with the same artists lol
@@delusionalx2605 noooo waaay?! 😭😩
What I love about this (beyond being an amazing cover) is the cover of LP1 at 3:05, LP2 at 3:06 and sunset at 3:11 which looks like a nod to LP3
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE SUMMER WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥
Folk goes emo
Fomo or Femo?
Her: its just a house
Me: 🥲
you should take a vaca to the house, it's on airbnb
I dont understand how this has been out for 2 weeks and doesnt have millions of views.
Wow what a singer you are. Thank you so much for your amazing songs i love them ❤ Gratitude for your beautiful soul touching songs and voice ❤
Absolutely amazing. Been listening to you both for over 20 years. This is so fucking cool.
There are more Never Meant covers on UA-cam than there are grains of sand on a beach.
But this right here?
This is just absolute outstanding! Completely making his own while still capturing what made the original so timeless.
It's breathtakingly beautiful!
the gameboy one is neat
I thought I was dreaming. What a cover.
This was a spiritual experience
Yeah
This is a really great cover, I really love the different direction. It makes it stand out and worthwile as apposed to more standard straight-forward covers. Really fantastic job!
Did you know that this track is getting some great radio support on Dryland Community Radio - KICO in Tampa, USA.
I knew Iron and Wine before discovering American Football. Got into them pretty hard during the pandemic. I'm 42 now and it actually brought me right back to High School and brought the feels up in full focus. Love this cover!
Same exact story for me. Same age and everything.
I cant stop listening to this! Perfection and the harmony is absolutely stunning . What an insane talent to imagine this unique arrangement! Thank youuuuuu
WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I JUST STUMBLE UPON!?!? I&W AND AMERICAN FOOTBALL!?!? 🤯🤯
I listened to American Football for the first time after hearing this. Sam can do no wrong.
I’m about to do the same
This cover is so good. I wasnt sure what to think of it at first, but the end really hits hard.
We needed this
The autumn nights when we realized we were falling...
The pause is this version gets me every time.
It’s so great how he made it his own song
After 25 years we have room tour about the house. Thank you americ anfootball, thank you polyvinyl records, and thank you iron & wine. Bless you guys ❤
3:04 LP1 (1999)
3:06 LP2 (2016)
3:10 LP3 (2019)
3:12 someone gonna remastered that video, but still no updates 😅
I can’t wait for the tribute album for American Football coming out soon. It has all the songs from the original LP but with other bands covering all the songs with Iron And Wine kicking it off with the first track of Never Meant. So excited.
I heard this song back in 2000 for the first time and the band was already broken up by then. I thought the song was pretty good but was not yet mature enough to truly appreciate it for what it is. Over the years my taste for music has changed pretty dramatically. I have pulled away from the punk, indie, emo rock that filled my ears in my youth to more mellow instrumental ambient shoe gaze music. There is however one band that I have never gotten tired of and have had a growing desire more and more over the years and that is non other than American Football. That first LP was truly magical. Their other newer albums are great as well but that first LP can never be replicated. Thank you American Football for all my youthful memories that are tied to your music. For getting me through rough patches in my life. You will never know what you’ve meant to your listeners. For that, I am glad that this song, in my eyes, was Always Meant.
UPDATE: I now like this song more than the original. The melody flows and is so beautiful. Also the vocals is just so unpredictable its mesmerizing.
holy shit. never thought I'd see the day. so good.
One of my favorite songs, covered by one of my favorite artists! Woooow!! Sam Beam makes it his own.
Time for a Iron & Wine and Owen/American Football tour 😊
Man, I was gonna say this sounds like a version Mike would do as ‘Owen’.
couldn't have dreamed of a better artist to cover this song
Stunning. I loved every second.
Bless my ears oh this is too good
I love this song
Great job loves just Great!
Absolutely stunning
Didn't think a combination could possibly exist that would so perfectly tickle my pickle. His angellic voice and cozy guitar weaved into one of my favourite songs ever?? What did I do to deserve??? Love Iron & Wine AND AF. ♥️♥️♥️
I would very much like for Phoebe Bridgers to cover American Football at least once, please and thank you.
I’m kinda surprised it’s taken this long for a big artist to cover this since it’s rise to popularity .
One of the best easy listening songs I've heard in a long long time. Wonderful tones and a truly smooth mellow. Thank you for this!
thanks make me crying again
This is now in my bloodstream. It'll keep me going for, say, three months. Then I need more, okay.
I'm not sure if you're joking or it's coincidence, but the covers album is out in just under three months.
@@osidiusemphatic3505that's even better! I'm going to make it, everyone!
What I love most about this cover is how personal it feels. While the original has that intense, youthful energy, Iron & Wine’s version feels like a quiet conversation with an old friend. It’s as if he’s sharing a story from the past, but with a sense of peace and acceptance. It hits differently, but in the best way possible.
Long live sam beam and american football
I was not expecting this... oh my.
I must say I like your older songs, like birds stealing bread, love, vigilante, flightless, bird, American mouth, etc., but I know you have to follow your own heart and travel where it leads you❤
this could be a soundtrack for the first life is strange game, this cover captured the vibes from the original game
Life is Strange features an incredible soundtrack.
This is soooo beautiful and the video is so poetic. Sam being projected on different spots of the house is emblematic of the cover itself. It’s like Sam is reflecting on the meaning of the song, while interpreting it through his playing. His image becomes a pondering daydream upon the landscape that tells the story. The history and meaning is already there, and now it’s Sam passing through it. It’s super cathartic and reflective to watch. What an amazing and wonderful surprise to see these two artists collide. Also seeing the house in all these new ways is so cool, it always makes me emotional and meditative, just like the music of iron and wine.
uow! que junção maravilhosa! 😮👏
Wow, this was waaayyy better than I was expecting. I had high hopes with it being a cover of AF and it didn’t disappoint. Absolutely awesome job. Keep doing you and wish you the best as always. 👍🏻🏁🖤
Brilliant
A match made in heaven!
Mind blowing ! Thank you for this awesome cover !
keep working iron and wine, been loving your music for a very long time!
What in the magic did I just witness
Everything is good again. ❤
I think we need to appreciate the fact that, today, in the year this cover came out... it's been 24 years. That's like if you covered "Band on the Run" by Wings when "Never Meant" came out. That's fucking wild.
Awesome cover, phenomenal video… truly blown away. Thank you for this. 704 ♾️ 💚
Iron and Wine and American Football collab? Nice!
Oh dear God - this is sick as hell, son
A great cover of a wonderful song and it's nice to see the American football house in the video ❤.😊.
They should cover the summer ends too
When summer ends its the best time for this music
Fireside Bowl clip goes hard
i'm glad i found this today, precisely what i needed.
I love his rendition!!!! So beautiful!!!!
Amazing amazing crossover
Our Valley is on Fire 🔥 literally. Glad I found ya today.
Am I dreaming? Beautiful!
When a cover is better than the original
Now this is beautiful just everything about it. The collab and cover was everything I expected to be.
a collaboration we never thought that we really needed 😭
amazing
This album i swear
This is my favorite song right now
The cover I never expected but damn so good
Love the nods to the album covers in the video. The cinematography is gorgeous. I particularly love the reflection shot at 0:54.
I also love the transitions between night and day of similar shots.
lovely
May we all live in interesting times.
Damn didn't have this on my 2024 bingo!
Good vibes... I like it.
I'm listening this brand new cover recommended by youtube from the original song. Great susprise and great tribute. Different vibes at the end part. Love it!
Beautiful
THERE IS NO WAY
beautiful
Rad! Love it!
Really awesome!
My oh my. Fantastic!
I needed this in my life!
Man that was awesome 🔥🔥🔥
holy moley it's my favourites, and my other favourites!
The little bits of the original guitar lead in the back over the fresh take in the vocal melody and arrangement. Knocked it out of the park
