I have tears in my eyes. I drowned in nostalgia. I was 16 years old when "popular" came out. I was 22 years old when I heard "80 Windows" I was in a deep dark place. Now I am almost 40, I felt so many things again, thank you.
@@lancedorey2774 It's not about the song, seeing them again made me feel like that. Like seeing a very old friend, that friend now may be bald, fat and old but you see them as when you were young.
Nada Surf is probably one of the most underrated rock bands and one of the coolest. It was good to hear them speaking perfectly in French in Paris. And thank you to have found an incredible solution: instead of postponing the show because of covid , you have played two concerts with half of the public. The musician of the opening act couldn't play all his show, so they let him play one of his songs during his show and he played with them in one song. Nada Surf are cool, professional and so generous. The lyrics of that song reflects perfectly what they are. Merci beaucoup les gars! ;o) (sorry for English spoken people)
The lack of resolution points in the song's chord/melodic structure is a good match for the rambling (and astute) reasoning towards the end. Looking forward to the new album. I didn't pay any attention when 'Popular' was a hit as that song didn't quite work for me, and you didn't get back on my radar until about a year ago, when I was floored after finding a few of your amazing live performances. Have since enjoyed several songs you have written since the early 2000s up until now, which are all part of my extended playlist and never fail to induce a jolt of energy and emotion. Keep playing. I hope to catch you live some day soon.
Damn, what a vocal hook!! This album completely passed me by ( their "pandemic" album), but it's as good as every other album by these guys. Few others of their ilk have been this consistent over time. What a treat to discover it together with their newest (2024) album!
But that's his style. If you listen to any artist's body of work, there are many songs and ideas that will repeat. That's simply indicating where that artist is, stylistically as well as emotionally. I like this song because I hear a man reaching middle age and reflecting on the things going on around him. He's dismayed by all of the anger and confusion and this is his way of talking about it. And because I have also reached a similar age and mindset, I find myself in agreement. Maybe it is you that have moved on and have discovered other ideas, artists, and musicians that reflect, a little better, where you are in this stage of your life. And that's okay, not all "love affairs" are meant to last. Cheers!
Nada Surf never cease to amaze me. Today i had the best day since a long time. New song, New Album and the confirmation of a show in my hometown. I'm crying esti
Bands that are around for decades inevitably fall into routines, and I'd felt the last couple albums were a bit too similar (the flip side of that coin is 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'). I'm glad to see this clear departure. It really works for me, and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
What a band.....I just ripped over this on UA-cam and went through a fair bit of your stuff......Excellent writing, melody and vibe.......what a refreshing thing!!!!!!!!! Thank You. CN
Matthew ACTUALLY answered my question about this particular line, and I was struck with astonishment when I found that this actually *wasn’t* meant to be a play on words, but it totallty is. So yeah, just me finding more meaning to one of my fav bands was a huge win.
@@sobrevida157 I know! The funny thing to me is when I spoke to him about it he wasn't aware of it himself. Genius. That was the song of 2020 for me, really. I got sober and clean after 16 years of severe alcoholism and drug addiction, and I hadn't worked in years, and I got myself a job after 3 months, and I swear this song gave me the daily energy (at least four times a day) to face the social anxiety and stress of getting sober to get on that bus, and work as hard as I could, and now I'm 11 months clean. That song really was one of those life savers for me.
Who else is still listening on November 24th? Curiosity brought me here. I was 5 days younger when this song came out. Times were so much simpler then. The weight is a gift, like I had to see what I could lift. I miss you, Dad.

You should get out more than crying to this crap

this is awesome. that rap in the middle took me back to popular
this is gonna be a trip to play live.
haha yessss
This is the kind of music we need 🙌🏼
"Empathy is good. Lack of empathy is bad." I think of this and say that simple line sometimes, and nobody seems to argue with it.
Everyone will agree but a good majority of them will still be assholes
This is probably the only time I have ever commented on a music video; heard this on the radio and bookmarked the lyrics because DAMN
How many other people watched this video more than once on the first day of release? Love this.
At least 20 times already. What a tune !
Oh man, this is sooooo good.....one of the most underrated bands in rock history, Nada Surf, just keeps bringing it!!
I have listened to this song non stop since I heard it, so good.
there's something "Popular" in this song...and this is great
That what I thought the first time I heard that song. In a way, I find the sound more powerful than "Popular".
how great is it these guys are still around
I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
So far, this song is one of the best from this year, thanks for this song nada surf
New Nada Surf? Finally, something to be thankful for!

I don't now where you live but they're touring/gonna tour soon!
Damn, what a vocal hook!!

What a treat to discover it together with their newest (2024) album!
Anyone who can get on KEXP gets mad props from me. I dug the tune.
it was KDHX for me!
I've been watching this video and listening to this song for more than two years, and it still makes me weepy. .
Me too! It's so fricking beautiful yet so emotional. Really affects me
Discovered it a week ago, listened to it for at least 100 times. Great song !
Une chanson manifeste qui augure un album engagé . Rendez-vous en 2020 en concert.
High/Low vibes. Even getting "Popular" vibes from the spoken word part.
More like word art
It's very reminiscent of popular.

THANK YOU for writing out the end rant. So much truth. U guys r like a comfy pair of shoes only more rad every time u put em on.
Titre vraiment fort ! Hâte d'écouter le reste en février. Bravo !
can't believe they are still around i cannot forget their big hit in 1996 "popular"
This is equally something fresh and new from Nada Surf but also could have been a b-side from High/Low. Amazing! Love hearing anything they put out!
instant classic
Love it!! Great lyrics great sound ......cant wait to hear it live
Just saw these guys last night in Seattle. For new Nada Surf fans (like me), buy a ticket and go--YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Great show!
Merci pour ce super morceau ! Encore une fois on a hâte de découvrir l’album et de vous revoir en France ! Love xx
Thank you so much, Nada Surf!!!!
🇧🇷
I just love this song so much. So beautiful and powerful.
These guys and Teenage Fanclub are my summer tunes wrapped up.
You and me too matey. With a sprinkle of Grandaddy.
Yep, love Grandaddy. Got to put Guided By Voices in there too I guess.
Check out the new Sugarcrush! Tune one will start the melt!
@@scottishsimon67 GBV!!!So cool that guitar god Doug Gillard from GBV was in Nada Surf for a few years as well.
Thank you so much for this song.
Been listening to these guys for so long and this is a new fav
Preach, man!
this is so good, been listening to all my Nada Surf records, had a feeling something was coming.....wow, I'm blown away :)
Nada Surf never cease to amaze me. Today i had the best day since a long time. New song, New Album and the confirmation of a show in my hometown. I'm crying esti
Yes, Nada Surf!
Without a doubt! 😊🎸💖👍
Une nouvelle fois... une merveille pop !
Amazing song from Nada Surf, as usual! I'm already listening to it in loop...
Bands that are around for decades inevitably fall into routines, and I'd felt the last couple albums were a bit too similar (the flip side of that coin is 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'). I'm glad to see this clear departure. It really works for me, and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
Very dIfferent! I LOVE this guy and I LOVE this band!
Awesome ! Can't wait for your show in Strasbourg !
Pure energy! Good vibes from Brazil.
You never let me down
Unmistakable voice !!!
come to brazil na moral
We keep coming back to this... it's so, so powerful.
Longue absence apres le chef d oeuvre ykwya... et toujours le feu sacré ! Miracle ! Le 7 fevrier sera jour de fête nationale
New nada surf!!!!! Listen, enjoy, play again, enjoy. In a repeat mode!!!!
Thanks God! Thanks Nada Surf!
I love it !!! Can't wait to see you guys live!
What a band.....I just ripped over this on UA-cam and went through a fair bit of your stuff......Excellent writing, melody and vibe.......what a refreshing thing!!!!!!!!! Thank You. CN
F you for making the almost perfect song ever and for being almost the greatest band ever!
Don't ever stop making vibrations for us!
❤
Love this. My god. The wordplay in «I was asked to write a song about social media and I didn’t want to, anyway I’m pretty HOOKED» is so good.
Matthew ACTUALLY answered my question about this particular line, and I was struck with astonishment when I found that this actually *wasn’t* meant to be a play on words, but it totallty is. So yeah, just me finding more meaning to one of my fav bands was a huge win.
Sorry to be a blockhead, but I don’t get the word play… Can you explain please?
@@sobrevida157 Asked to write a song about social media but he didn't want to, anyway he's pretty hooked. A 'hook' is a the part of a song.
@@mattygeno got it! That IS clever! Thanks

Really strong, well done!
Merci les gars ! C’est prometteur pour l’album !
they are back¡¡¡
Love love love this
This new track makes my day. The power of Nada Surf music
This has been my best Christmas present. Glad you guys keep on the road. Can't wait to see you either in Pamplona or Bilbao!
Love it! stellar mixing, feel, instrumentation, and flow. Sounding great Matthew!!!
It's cool how you guys are on a first name basis. Lol jk
thank you danny!
1:48 - 2:16 Popular vibes!
I will see you in France in march ! Merci pour vos chansons !
I was there too! ;o)
Did the concert get cancelled because of corona virus?
So happy that you are back, guys, with such a positive message and continuously clever lyrics :) this song has a bit of cloud nothings vibe
...Cada día te quiero mas!!!! Ohhhh Nada Surf!! Es un sentimiento!!!
Who else is still listening on November 24th?
Curiosity brought me here.
I was 5 days younger when this song came out. Times were so much simpler then. The weight is a gift, like I had to see what I could lift. I miss you, Dad.
Damn I love this
Amazing!
Future classic
great song! thanks guys.
So good
Love this!
i just listened this song now for the 20th time successively... (with world best headphones...)
Awesome Track! Thank you guys
Which headphones?
@@78die78 good question! which headphones? there are so many great ones.....
@@mcaws His ears maybe...
The same for me. :o)
C'est dans les vieux pots qu'on fait les meilleures soupes !! Super son !!
I like the slam poetry
Yeah!
Holy Crap is that good!
Yes yes yes 🙌🏼
Awesome.
This has a real "Popular" feel to it, but with a different spin this time around.
Bit older, a bit less cynical.
@@Ryuhza But the sound is more powerful.
Right On! ☮️ ❤️ 🤘
If you just listen to my plan, the adult guide to empathy
FriendOfTheNight24 haha
Killer track! Can't wait to hear new album and see you guys live!
Welcome back guys!
Nice nod to the late David Burman’s “Actual Air.”
🙌
Magnificent!!! ✌👽
I went to your concert in Mallorca! great fan of you since I was only a teen, I've born in 96 by the way!
well i guess that's just your theory. haha. love this.
Loving these new songs. This one was killer as end of the set live.
Thee Dan Holt? Cleveland Dan Holt?--Where did you get to see them 3 months ago? April 22nd date obviously cancelled. New album is GREAT!
@@brianhood7092 Not sure who "the" Dan Holt is but probably not me. I saw them in late January before everything went to hell.
@@dsholt Thee Dan Holt is who was at the Den today! Missed that one, but have seen about 4-5 times! Peace and Thanks for the drop off today!
The best song I’ve ever heard!!
BTW see you in Seattle WA!!!
90's Vibes!
Love it
Love It!
Love it rock on!
Brilliant
Wonderful song.
