Fifty four year old tough guy. Long career in the concrete trade, tried fighting competitively for too long. Broken down by hard living. Absolutely smitten with Skating Polly. I shared some of their stuff with my friends but I'll just keep this one here in my shirt pocket, close to my heart.
@@teresabessette9962, i am 61 years old and I found them on the internet a few years ago. Two weeks ago I only traveled from Budapest (H) to Berlin (D) for their concert.
@@gasparthenomad6308 "Underrated" is never a compliment, but a willful dismissal. The intended troll is to imply that there are bad reviews. Pedestrian at best.
It’s 2 am and I’m scatterbrained but I just wanted to thank you (Kelli and Peyton) for possibly saving my life. I was having the worst paranoid episode I’ve ever had. Like worse than I knew I was capable of. I played this song cause I thought if I’m gonna freak out I may as well have a cool playlist. But now I’m calm enough that I actually might get some sleep tonight. Seriously, I owe you two my soul
This song has like 5 choruses and does not stick to the standard song writing. Yet it is a masterpiece in it's own right. I don't care if these two brilliant songwriters get recognized on the "mainstream", because the mainstream does not deserve such talent because they would milk them for all their worth until they break. I will continue following these fellow songwriters no matter how far underground they go.
I love bands that aren't afraid to deviate from verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse chorus. Before discovering Skating Polly my favorite band was The Airborne Toxic Event. Their music was the soundtrack to my life for 4 years. They have a lot of videos too. Their first (and most successful?) single was "Sometime Around Midnight" That song is just a story about a guy seeing his ex-girlfriend walk into the bar. There really aren't any verses and no chorus or bridge, its just 7 paragraphs set to music. The song begins with him spotting her, her walking over to talk to him, then her walking out with a guy, then him spilling out into the street drunk and emotionally broken. One of the cool things about the song is that musically it grows in intensity building to a crescendo as it goes along so you get to feel anguish of his depression changing to desperate desperation, willing to do anything just to talk to her again. Another favorite of mine is "A Letter To Georgia" Its 2 related but completely different poems about a girl he used to date The song "Duet" is a story about 2 exes meeting for drinks after quite some time to check in and just see how each other is doing with their life. No verses, no choruses, no bridges, just paragraphs, but ya... i love it when song writers reinvent creatively
@@jamyc.5800 Reading this, I think you might like Major Parkinson. Even though they do use the traditional chorus verse thing regularly, they also do deviate from it quite often. They used to mix progressive rock with the more cabaresque side of music with a little touch of folk sometimes, but now they went more to electronics. For me they have been part of the soundtrack of my life. :) Early Major Parkinson: Solitary Home En more recent: Night Hitcher
I LOVE that line "You think you're gonna be the next man in the moon, but you can't even stick to an original tune." and the way the music goes crazy for a moment there.
For me the definition of an artist is the possession of a voice that separates you from the millions of others of ants on the hill. Glad this band is out there doing what they're doing...
It's fascinating that in the 21st century we have these enlightened parents who obviously allow their children to follow their muse. I may be wrong, but I suspect these young ladies have such parents. Back in my day, I listened to artists who likely fought their parents and created rage-filled music as a result. It's better today. It's different, but brilliance shines through, talent shines through from every corner of the country.
@@MrAlquimista666 they're kinda lucky for in most cases everybody even your parents be doubting you and don't believe in you till you actually pull it off
i disagree. some songs i just dont like and some i enjoy very much. and thats exactly what i love about them . they have an incredible range in tones and styles. you never know what they gonna do next.
I was just making dinner and charging my phone. For some reason the Google search mic activated and when I sat down to eat and looked at my phone the search results from the search was this song. So I'm eating dinner and listening to it now. And all I can say is I absolutely love this song. And for once I am happy Google glitched out or spied on me or what ever. Thank you for your music and sharing with the world. I hope you are well and healthy. Cheers
I know. It came up on my recommendations out of the blue last week, and I've probably listened to it 100 time since then. It's a shame it took me so long to find it. It's a beautiful song.
I'm so agree with you :) I love this song and the fact that the writer (actualy I don't realy know who wrote it) is as old as me... (if the writer is the young one ^^) is super inspiring :D and this song!
This song written by such a young group has a meaning that for me personally is wise beyond their years. I know the nightmare of a living monster...I know that my Father- both heavenly & deceased are watching over me. Beautiful ✨🎶✨💙🙏✨💔✨
I heard this song when I was flipping channels. It was playing at the end of a movie (while the credits were rolling). It so captured my interest, I Shazamed it. And, here we are! I love this song! It brings tears to my eyes! Her Voice is Enchanting!
I hope you watched the movie. I have seen it many times, but when the Mom is on couch crying & Johnny goes downstairs& his little sis asks what you doing Johnny. I cry. I am still living with the affects a monster. As are my kids.🎶🙏💔💙😥
Listened through the Falling soundtrack while writing papers and can not stop singing along this wonderful piece. Can't wait to exlore more of Skating Polly. Thank you for the music!
I watched a movie called Falling and this song came on the end credits. I was and am mesmerized by this song. Her voice is beautiful and unique as is this song. I'm 54 and not into today's music at all and I can't believe this tune is 8 years old. This should've been a number one tune on the airwaves but sadly top 40 music is dead.
Top 40 has been shit forever. Radio is too scared to play good music. You would be blown away with some of the super popular songs lately with the internet, they are so good. I honeslty don’t know if they were able to make it to top 40 or not. Its not worth checking just for the validation. Mitski is a great one.

A fantastic song and video, I don't understand why I am just hearing it. AND How wonderful it is that fate, karma, God, or whatever... brought Kelli (and Kurtis) & Peyton together to form this excellent band.
I feel they're best kept a secret tbh if we're to blow up they'll then have to meet industry standards by doing pop songs in turn ruining what made them special to begin with plus them as independent is alot better then some label tryna milk them cause they're young an pretty faces to appeal to the wide audience
What an awesome song! These girls are brilliant. Thanks for Viggo & his son Henrey Mortenson for discovering you , this song and for using it for the end of"Falling" ~Viggo Mortenson's masterpiece! WOW ⚡🎶⚡💝😊✨💙✨🎬🌅🌛
Super lovely people i had the pleasure of meeting after there show whilst they were on tour with Kate Nash in Edinburgh although they and I forgot a sharpie for a autograph🙈 they were kind enough to let me take a picture with them, definitely see them on tour of you ever get the chance
I'm just discovering this band. I hope I can get to a show sometime. This is one of those bands you find and just get to dig through all the greatness.
Well hell. I have seen so many bad opening bands, but I say to Exene Cervenka. Thank you for letting this band support you for a bit on the 40th Anniversary tour. I'm hooked.
I love how I can't say this sounds like anything I know. I'm so sick of every song sounding the same. Its quirky and lovely. And I like how in all there music videos they play a different instrument everytime haha very musically talented.
This makes me regret not shuffling through your music some more. UA-cam had to recommend this to me because I am too lazy to look up 2014 Skating Polly. This is beautiful.
Amanda- I know you love this song and I'm sure you watch this video a lot. If you see this, it means you're upset and I want you to remember I love you very much and I'm always here for you.
it kinda reminds me of "please like me" there's something so familiar ad nostalgic about this song even though it's the first time I've ever listened to it.
Viggo brought me here.
En Viggo m'ha portat aquí.

Yes indeed, they’re not following patterns, just doing their thing - ‘tis a splendid masterpiece

Skating Polly can certainly bring the rage, that's for sure. But yeah, it's really nice their parents support them this much.
Such a good perspective. You're probably right on this
Yeah, I feel that
@@MrAlquimista666 they're kinda lucky for in most cases everybody even your parents be doubting you and don't believe in you till you actually pull it off
Skating Polly are one of the only bands that I can start playing and just leave it playing, cause each song is vibey.
Spoke nothing but faxxx!

Ck out the movie "Falling" ...awesome!
Why no comments? The song and video are one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed in a while!
There were many comments, they must have been deleted for some reason. But definitely a good song, Ive become a big fan of Skating Polly
I think this was marked as a child song so youtube disabled comments

'Til the date
'Til the date
You make the sun rise, when the sun won't rise
You make the sun bright nights
And if I'm not thinking really really greatly
You let the sun rise twice
You make the creeps hide
When the creeps come alive
You make the creeps run away
What is a nightmare of a living monster?
What is a nightmare? Me.
Chase away the thoughts that make you hate
'Cause hate does not create
And hate at best will just keep you
A little late
A little late
Chase away the thoughts that make you hate
'Cause hate does not create

And if I'm not thinking really really greatly
You let the sun rise twice
You make the creeps hide
When the creeps come alive
You make the creeps run away
What is a nightmare of a living monster?
What is a nightmare? Me.
Chase away the thoughts that make you hate
'Cause hate does not create
And hate at best will just keep you
A little late
A little late
If you slip down the ice, I'm not following you
'Cause you're the one who requested those glass shoes
You think you're gonna be the next man on the Moon
But you can't even stick to an original tune
Chase away the thoughts that make you hate
'Cause hate does not create
And hate at best will just keep you

Thanks for putting the lyrics in the comments for so many vids, I for appreciate it.
Schizophrenia. You captured what it is, in a song. That is art.
Your music is so enchanting and diverse, I'm absolutely in love with Skating Polly
Their music is my daily morning medicine🌞💙
"Falling" brought me here. Thank you Viggo!
A fantastic song and video, I don't understand why I am just hearing it. AND How wonderful it is that fate, karma, God, or whatever... brought Kelli (and Kurtis) & Peyton together to form this excellent band.
This band deserves MILLIONS times the views/subscribers...wtf
I feel they're best kept a secret tbh if we're to blow up they'll then have to meet industry standards by doing pop songs in turn ruining what made them special to begin with plus them as independent is alot better then some label tryna milk them cause they're young an pretty faces to appeal to the wide audience
They have 3 songs w/over a million views each. #TheDoorIsBeginningToOpen
Super talented. Rad. Beautiful song
Yeah. I'm an old codger (58) but I don't care, it's GREAT to hear real haunting sounds from the Millennial Yoofs!!!

This is literally the best thing my eyes and ears had the pleasure to wittness.

I love this song sooooo much

Talent that doesn't dilute...that's what you are beauties. Cheers!!! 🖤

This song does occasionally make it into their set lists.
so good!!
These ladies know how to write a good song.
