As a transplant to WA, this video really warms my heart. It really is the most beautiful place on Planet Earth. Anacortes is a magical town. Totally void of pretention. I love this song so much!
this is so artful and cathartic. from the gate; the title. a song that's core message is to dismiss it? it does beg one to dig deeper and quite clever use of reverse psychology. start to finish. ART. the Independence Day celebrating "Anacortesians (demonym please, scholars?)" video=real candid people art. extra epic double high five lady made my year and blew my mind! she's way awesome! America! hell yeah, Miss Lady!
Saw these guys in Houston when I was in college. It wasn't packed or anything. So when they stopped playing they talked to the fans and hung out for a bit. I even got a pic with the singer, nice guy. That next week they posted they were breaking up. So glad I got to see them live.
Saw/Met them in Montreal with TDCC. Blew my mind. Actually drove down to anacortes after finding out where they're from and it so beautiful. saw the lead guitarist too. ahh!
Discovered this song about a year ago, still one of my top favorites and im really loving what LTF has been putting out since! Also, been from this region, I love their appreciation of their hometown
my grandmother is currently in the process of dying. she lived in ana cortes for years, for the majority of my life. i adore this video. it makes me want to go back and run on the beach so badly.
planning to purchase this song, put it on my iPod, listen to the song AND go outside ;) seriously though so good and they look like such cool guys in the video.. or a lot of fun anyway.
Just saw them in Anacortes! They rule! Love Their music! Its great to saee a local band be so sucsessful. Their sooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember that. When John and them would play at pep rallys and stuff at school. Good times. I miss Anacortes too. Everytime I go there, I just want to move back.
seen them in concert with BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB & TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB. so amazing. perfect group of bands and put on a great show last night in COLUMBUS, OHIO (:!
I turned it off and went outside, and then i got back in and started listening. But it keeps saying turn off the song, you can listen to it later. Great song btw, deserves more recognition
Just saw them live in Boston and they were incredible! Way better than Bombay Bicycle Club, who went after them. I hope I get to see The Lonely Forest live again!!
Wow. It's so awesome seeing Anacortes like this. The song is phenomenal, too. My family was actually at the parade, we saw you guys right when you ran out of candy and jumped back on the truck. It was awesome.
I love it in this state, I haven't been here since 1997, but I love it and I'm so glad I'm back, people can't drive worth shit here tho.... and the rent is too damn high.
This song is addicting, and perfectly placed in Anacortes. John and Braden and all the boys are doing a wonderful job...hey guys don't ever forget where you come from!
My g-ma lives in Anacortes. We were just there and I made my parents drive me around so I could look at all the beaches and crap cuz The Lonely Forest might have walked there...I'm very weird.
@WatchTheLonelyForest Still living in Anacortes? cuz I'm not too far away and I will buy you guys lunch or something. Your album changed my life. And I mean that in the sincere way, not the overly-used-gushy-kinda-way
wow you guys are still kickin it i saw u over 5 years ago at a show in bellingham at CTK you rawked it then and im excited u guys have made it this far keep going i hope to see u at bumberhoot!!! wooohooo!!
This song will always keep me grounded and thankful for the place I've grown up in - now I'm gonna turn it off and go get lost.
It was driving me nuts trying to remember what this was called, then it suddenly came to me randomly late at night. What a tune!

Still one of the best songs ever. Thanks so much.
FROM THE TOP AND BOTTOMS AND ONE OF THE SIDES OF MY HEART GODSPEED..
Saw/Met them in Montreal with TDCC. Blew my mind. Actually drove down to anacortes after finding out where they're from and it so beautiful. saw the lead guitarist too. ahh!
Still the most underrated, underappreciated, unheard anthem of the human race.
2020's: clearly 🤦
Discovered this song about a year ago, still one of my top favorites and im really loving what LTF has been putting out since!
Also, been from this region, I love their appreciation of their hometown
This song proves you can write about Anything and make it into a song ... I like it!!!
Happy birthday lead singer guy hope your first headliner in NY went well
Every time i watch this video it makes me super happy.
Going to see them tonight at the house of blues!!!
WASHINGTON HAS THE BEST MUSIC!!! YEAH WE ROCK!!
So happy to wake up 1 day and have this song fall into my lap.

Legends are forever

This song hits different. I love listening to it. Wish I was aware of this back when it came out, but as fate would have it, I was too young.

This is the video i watch to get off UA-cam after a long night of watching videos, works like a charm.
One of the best songs I've ever heard. So sad.
I really like this song, and I would love to go outside, but it's really cold... So I'll just listen and go outside when it's warmer
Weird how music hits you differently as you grow older. I miss my friends.
This song is addicting, and perfectly placed in Anacortes.
go outside when it's not raining. got to love the rain to live here. great band and it is anacortes
John is the coolest dude I have ever met! Reppin' for anacortes!!!
Pure love
I grew up in Anacortes, class of '80. I love it, and miss it so.
I'm stupidly obsessed with this video.
Just saw them in Anacortes! They rule! Love Their music! Its great to saee a local band be so sucsessful. Their sooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Randomly found this song and one of their cds, very glad I did. Love'n em
saw them live september 22nd @ the wiltern. They opened up for Two door cinema club. they're pretty awesome!
This song definitely fits Washington lol. I live in Bellingham & love it :D
Makes me so proud to live here and see my town in this video.
I remember that. When John and them would play at pep rallys and stuff at school. Good times. I miss Anacortes too. Everytime I go there, I just want to move back.

Nice job!!! Never heard you before. Just heard OF you. Very impressed!
I'm glad this is finally getting some recognition. Thank you sirus xmu and Alt Nation.
Great song and video! Anacortes!
Like my new favorite song! This is the good music this generation needs
Saw you on SXSW 2011! Nice discovery, really dig your sound.
love this
we'll miss you lonely forest :(
why ??? i dont believe in the music industry anymore, no hope for good bands and music, sorry :(
Ferenc Vidics (there are more bands than just lonely forest and what's on the radio I hope you know)
Wut?! My daughter just saw them in Bellingham, WA last weekend. What are you missing?
That's odd, they haven't been active for over two years now. I wrote that comment after seeing their final show. Reunion performance perhaps?
My bad. It was just the lead singer, not the whole group. Sry to get your hopes up.
I miss Anacortes sooo much right now. Haven't been back there for nearly 4 years.
I turned it off and went outside, and then i got back in and started listening. But it keeps saying turn off the song, you can listen to it later. Great song btw, deserves more recognition
goodness gracious this song is amazing
This song makes me happy. I'm glad I found it. :3
saw them at kool haus in Toronto. Loved it
Just saw them live in Boston and they were incredible! Way better than Bombay Bicycle Club, who went after them. I hope I get to see The Lonely Forest live again!!
This song blows me!!! i love it so much thank you!!
I randomly downloaded this mp3 off of amazon about 2 years ago... Love this song.
Wow. It's so awesome seeing Anacortes like this. The song is phenomenal, too.
My family was actually at the parade, we saw you guys right when you ran out of candy and jumped back on the truck.
It was awesome.
Reminds me of the credits to the show Wonder Years, saw them open last night in columbus, good stuff
man i wish i was there that year
that would have been awesome
I'm so excited to see them play at the Glass House with Minus the Bear :D
I miss Anacortes so much, this video makes me think of the Last man Standing/Life So Far days. :)
how is this song not more popular I don't get it. it's so good
My local taco bell literally ALWAYS has this song playing for some reason when I go there, it's pretty damn funny tbh
It's definitely a good song though I agree
@@bad_atgames ubhzxn
Anacortes is a beautiful town for as small as it is,...
Listening that music on Covid-19 quarentine feels confusing enough to my mind
when you discover something great way too late...
Indeed
These guys are on mainstream everyday where im from
I love it in this state, I haven't been here since 1997, but I love it and I'm so glad I'm back, people can't drive worth shit here tho.... and the rent is too damn high.
I love Anacortes and the bands it produces.
Gahh! This makes me miss Anacortes so much!
is this song any good? Whenever I start it the guy just tell me to turn it off..
I always feel conflicted when listening to this. Go outside... or be a patron to this glorious band? What to do. What to do...
love this song...and band :D
....i love this song..SORRY I CANNOT TURN OFF the song.
just got th elead singers autograph today! XD ANd a pic!
This song is addicting, and perfectly placed in Anacortes. John and Braden and all the boys are doing a wonderful job...hey guys don't ever forget where you come from!
i like the video, it sets such an atmosphere
Makes me miss home.
its so cool watching a music video and saying "Ive been there!" every 3 seconds
My g-ma lives in Anacortes. We were just there and I made my parents drive me around so I could look at all the beaches and crap cuz The Lonely Forest might have walked there...I'm very weird.
saw them live, truly amazing
this makes me miss anacortes!
@WatchTheLonelyForest
Still living in Anacortes? cuz I'm not too far away and I will buy you guys lunch or something. Your album changed my life. And I mean that in the sincere way, not the overly-used-gushy-kinda-way
♥ :)) I'm not turning off this song Im putting this song in my phone and listen to it outside lol!
I wish I had spent more time in Anacortes when I lived in Sedro-Woolley...
Discovered this song about a year ago, still one of my top favorites and im really loving what LTF has been putting out since!
@CertainIguana hellyes they did. that was sick concert :D
@sheplaysguitar2 go buy their whole cd and cherish that shit! theyre a phenomenal band.
Saw you guys in Chicago last night. Great show! You made me a fan. You all seemed like nice guys on top of it!
These guys are so awesome. Loved them ever since I saw them with Ludo at, I think, Chop Suey here in Seattle. Woot!
sad that these guys just vanished. Sucks that such talent was just forgotten.
ha fun! come to our show on the 18th!!
Thank God for Alt Nation, man. These guys are amazing. Glad to see they're getting recognized.
