I like to be optimistic and think that these guys are still alive in an alternative universe and were able to make it. They deserved fame. There was no reason for the universe to take them away at such a young age
I get a strange feeling when listening to this song, like an immense sense of happiness but equally an immense sense of grief for these guys. I can feel the music, deep inside of me. Like it actually touches my soul. Hope they’re resting easy.
same. like, i didnt know them, but i grieve for them as if they were my closest friends. their lyrics are deep enough to hurt, but also sound so amazing they make my heart soar. it's an endless whiplash.
@@davimelo9181 I’m sure some people do have it worse than suffering fatal injuries in a crash; what exactly are you getting at? This comment is solely about these guys and how they lost THEIR lives tragically.
My aunt once told me, sometimes people pass on once they complete their purpose on earth. Once I put that in perspective it made me feel better about a lot of things. These 2 incredible musicians and talented songwriters have obviously left a positive impact in the music scene. Their deaths are unfortunate, but they did more than even they realized. R.I.P Fitzpatrick R.I.P Laading
Same with me. The fact that they had so much potential, so much to give, so much to learn and experience. It makes me appreciate my youth more, im just around the same age as stephan. Made me realize how precious life really is
My ex bf recently passed away in an accident earlier this month and this was the last song we listened to together 3 days before his incident. Everytime I hear this song I am heartbroken 💔 but it is so beautiful and he was the one to show it to me. I think it is the perfect goodbye song for us.
Found this band April 2024. May they rest in everlasting music. Glad to have found HERS, music is easily relatable and the sound, that sound, will never be heard from them again, that is disheartening. Cheers to the listeners and to the music that once was but lives on through the fans
I went their concert in LA before their passing and he was like that the entire time! He was sweaty af by the end but never slowed down and just seemed to be having the time of his life. They signed a record and took a picture with me, I remember they were so kind and Audun complaining about a tooth hurting because he had been drinking energy drinks during their long drives. RIP
It's so weird because they didn't seem to blow up the same way other passed artists have. Their death didn't turn them famous overnight. Everyone has seemed to learn about this really cool band only to find out what happened to them. Instead of one big response to tragedy in the case of a lil peep or a Juice WRLD, it's like every other day there's a new person discovering the same band and having the same immediate heartbreak for a band they only found out existed a few minutes ago, the exact same way that a lot of us did
That was me yesterday :C I was all happy listening to their songs after hearing them in an Indie playlist and then found out about their deaths... is very sad.
@@phantom4084 Is this really true? They made it clear in earlier interviews they weren't keen on a third member at that point in time, to preserve their band/friendship dynamic. Stephen was also primarily a drummer, so it seems unlikely there would even be a need for a third member
@@tenparsecs914 well I assumed they did due to the fact that on the internet it lists some random guy by the name edis as “drummer” but I can be very well wrong, could’ve been someone temporary for a show or something
The instrumental of this song reminds me of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears; They both have this buttery smooth, bright guitar that just makes you feel good.
Same, I deal with suicidal ideation and self harm but whenever I put this song on it’s like healing for my soul. idk why but this song just has a special vibe to it. I wonder if they’re reaching out to us, to tell us that it’s okay. That we can enjoy life as they clearly did. God I just made myself sad
whenever i get the urge to self harm i listen to this song, it helps a lot somehow. it actually makes me cry, probably the only thing that does me cry at this point
A very sad idea indeed. However, a lot of musicians have songs and/or records released after death. It has been a while now so I’m not sure what will happen but it is always a possibility I suppose:)
@@ellenr8100 all the work they had was on their laptop they had in the accident, i heard. apparently it was destroyed beyond repair in the fire, so everything they could have been working on is sadly gone.

memento mori to all of you who got here. Once you are here jamming, smiling, happy, some other day you are gone. Appreciate life and live life to the fullest.
I dont think I've ever seen two people so in sync while being so damn unique.. they had a chemistry with each other and their music that goes unrivaled...
yeah, i stumbled upon this randomly just following paste links and loved it. i srcolled into the comments to read about them and have been listening to them non-stop. their presence and sound is unreal and i am sad i've hit the end of their discography.
I’m learning this on guitar, kind of as a rest in peace to them. My friend showed me these guys two days ago. He didn’t even know that they had passed. I found out and it hurt my heart so much. Makes me realize that life is so unfair.
This makes me sad to think had they signed maybe one more autograph, stayed and hung around 2 more minutes before they hit the road that they'd still be here. I never got over what happened to them all this time later..
@@Chaoitcme You know damn well she saw the other comments and is aware. Just let her enjoy the music rather than making their legacy purely about their deaths. They don't have to live on purely in the darkness of tragedy. Maybe some people can just see them as amazing artists and enjoy their work as it is
Gosh, it did. It feels like the ending of a series and you're met with them in a constant state of doing what they loved most. While also knowing what happened to them. It's like the soul's echo.
I found "Hers" on a fans video with this song 3 months ago and absolutely adored their sound. I raced to look them up live, but was crushed to hear the world lost them way too soon tragically, and cried and came to this and adored it, and love their commodorie. They have an 'old soul vibe' and such charisma! They are like a present we have to keep. Their parents should be proud. I since looked up their other music enjoyed it, and come back to this when I need a smile..they would have been big. I am sure they are still playing in what Tom Waits calls a night club in heaven or where they believe exists. I would like to believe my mom heard them and loved them. 😇❤
I come back to this video again and again solely for the bass player. He is straight up vibing and it's so refreshing to see him let loose during a performance and just have fun. That's real passion.
He was always like that, I've been to most of their shows. And audun just always seemed so free on stage, always looked like he was having a blast. So sad to see him go so soon
I found out what happened to these guys before I'd even heard a note of their music. After hearing their amazing music and getting to know it, It still hurts to think how tragically their lives were cut short. I'm just glad that their music will live on.
They come back to life every time we press play. When you’re dead you’re dead. But you’re not quite so dead if you contribute something. Love yourself and everyone around you.
Yeah I had just found these guys about a month ago and then saw all these sad comments on UA-cam videos. It’s crazy and tragic how life happens sometimes.
It's so unfair, it's so annoyingly and disturbingly unfair. I can't stand the feeling, i listened to them for the first time like 8 months ago and they've managed to mean literally everything to me. Why is life so cruel, poor little dudes, they had so much coming. So triggering.
I have just fallen in love with this band over the last couple months only to learn they’re no longer with us. Your comment sums up my feelings precisely. It’s such a terrible loss 💔
Omg my daughter just showed me these guys. How tragic! They remind me of Tears For Fears from my day. A duo havin' fun together for the sheer joy of making incredible music. R.I.P......
I got the amazing opportunity to see them twice before their passing. I still remember how I felt the first time my friend showed me what once was. It felt like finding a song that aligns with every single molecule in your body. We continued to love this song through our friendship in nostalgia. Since their passing it’s hard to listen to but I always hope somehow they know the profound effect they had on many lives, I wish things could have turned out another way
@@sportzyhd85seconding the other reply, I hope you’re in a kinder and more compassionate mind now because this was just filled with seething misery, and on the topic of death? concerning. I really do hope you’re better for yourself and those you come in contact with
it came across the wrong way and even if my comment wasn't filled with hate or distaste when I wrote it it certainly came across that way. on top of that I'm in a incredibly better environment and my happiness and well being is so so much better to what it was a year ago. @@triplesixcrow
Man... my gf almost pulled the purchase on tickets to go see them here in LA. She was gonna get them for like a weekday show but I had work so we were like it’s all good, we’ll see em next time they’re in LA. They passed away a week later... The moral of the story is to buy those tickets and to go see those artists cuz you never know when someone’s time is going to be up
Lemme rephrase this a little... my gf wanted to see them when they were coming to Orange County from AZ from a show. She was looking to get tickets the day before their show in So Cal. She wanted to go with me but I said no I couldn’t, I had work, but you should just go alone! She didn’t want to and didn’t end up going. They died in that car crash on their way from AZ to So Cal. So even if we did get tickets, we wouldn’t have been able to see them... but the moral of the story still stands lol. Go see them artists whenever you can RIP Her’s
if I remember correctly, they had just performed at treefort in idaho where i live, and i also almost got the tickets to see them but had to work. i fully stand by this
@@kalebutevil bro 😔 life is crazy man. It makes me believe in “live life to your fullest everyday.” That job will still be there the next day as long as you stay working there. But to see artists who you love and support when they’re in town… that won’t always be there the next day. I understand exactly how you feel 100% man
dudeeeee similar thing happened to me, mate n i waited in the queue at a festival for long only to be turned away from going into the tent they were in bc we weren't 18 at the time. Security guard even told me "don't worry, you'll get to see them one day" never did :( they passed about a year later big rip
i have so many memories with this band, i remember this song coming out and listening to it on repeat. i would fall asleep to this song and it would play so often that i heard it in my dreams. her’s meant so much to me. truly icons of the indie pop scene. love y’all forever
I literally just finished telling that exact same story to my buddy! I just found out about the accident tonight. Are you on 23 And Me? We might be cousins...
I simply cannot stop listening. This song haunts my daydreams in the best way. What an effect for music to have. I'm glad I'm not alone. R.I.P to these beautiful souls.
Utmost respect for Stephen. This song sounds simple in theory to play on guitar, repetitive fingerstyle picking on the right hand, with some pull-offs on the left hand, but believe me. Anyone who has tried to play this song can tell you it is really hard, with the unorthodox extension chords and fast bpm, it can throw you off fast if you messed up on a single note. Kudos to Stephen being able to play it and sing at the same time. Making it even harder, unless you can subconsciously play the song, and know it by heart. Rest in piece Her's. Would kill to watch these guys perform live.
I think I just met the love of my life, he showed me this song while we drew in his sketchbook together at a local coffee shop. I cant stop listening, it brings me so much sadness and love at the same time.
i love how silly and sweet these guys are. watching them make eye contact and smile makes my day. sad they are gone, but glad they are together and didn't go alone.
god. seeing them play enjoying themselves hurts my heart. I was in high school listening to them. This song is such a core memory for me. 2018 was my last year as a senior and this song gets me choked up every single time.
They seem like the sweetest dudes ever. I remember when I first heard What Once Was I was stunned and I listened to it all day, never getting sick of it. I still love this song, I'm so happy these talented guys were able to share their magic with us. Rest in peace babies.
I've loved 'What Ones Was' for a few years, and today I decided to look them up on UA-cam. I watched a few of their live sets and realised they are absolute stars. I looked for upcoming gigs - there were none. Then I read their Wiki. I'm so shocked. I'm genuinely shocked and so sad that these absolute gems of music have passed.
I have never seen a bass player move like that. They jammed tf out. This is my first time hearing their music and it’s post humous, it feels odd because this is my only frame of reference and they’re very much alive. RIP.
Honestly I just came to enjoy some good music but I read the comment section and everyone is saying RIP. I just wanted to enjoy some chill music and now I’m sad asf 😭😭😭😭
Same! And i discovered their music recently 😭 I love this song, when i first heard it i spent the whole day listening to it and still didn't get sick of it
These guys made a sound I had never heard before. So tragic, they will be missed. Rest In Peace, hope they still have that same energy wherever they are now. RIP.
I played a gig supporting these guys in a small pub in Liverpool called the baltic social before they were making it big, it was the first time I'd seen them play but had seen them around because we went to the same university. It's such a tragedy but they left a huge legacy behind. Pretty honoured to have shared the stage with them that night & watch them amongst the 30 other people in that small pub.
My brother showed me this song , and I fell in love off the first listen! I’m not gonna lie I didn’t know about them, and after looking them up I was absolutely devastated seeing the news; I’m from Arizona too. These guys were surely special & had so much more ahead of them~ truly gone too soon. I’ll never let this song fade away, their legacy will live on forever through their music. God bless , stay blessed everyone!! 🙏🏼🌎
This song has been my favourite for a long time now, I used to listen to it when everything was perfect in my life, when my grandma and my dog were still around. They both passed a few months ago and now I have this song tattooed on my skin forever.
This guys friendship is so cool! In 2:58, he sings "What's your favorite color", and after says "I think it's red", and point to the bassist. That second part isn't on the original track.
I discovered this song last week and now I've learned of their deaths and I am shattered. I'm bawling for a band that I just discovered because this song has been on my mind on repeat. I was just searching them online a few minutes ago, while listening to this song, and learned of their passing. So cruel and unfair. So much talent lost too soon. A reminder that we must appreciate each other and live fully, before it's too late. There's no greater gift than to inspire and leave a meaningful impact in others lifes. You do that with your music Stephen and Audun. Thank you Her's
This is exactly what I’m going through at this moment! Bawling for them. Have had this song on repeat all week and finally felt the need to look them up. This is so cruel.
I was high when I discovered they passed away while searching for upcoming concerts and my heart sunk. 😭 I couldn’t stop crying for hours, or listening to the song. Extremely strange feeling of loss. Drunk driver took their lives. 😔
This just goes to show that we never really know when it will be our time to go, so live each and every moment to the fullest and like it was your last
Thats stupid you cant live every moment like its the last....you need sleep, eat, and enjoy doing nothing.....everybody dies.....you have to live as if you are inmortal.....
“I think it’s red!” This song will always be my grounding anthem. Absolutely beautiful. I look forward to hearing this for the rest of my souls existence ❤️
They look like the absolute sweetest guys ever. Hope they’re experiencing an infinite timeline where they can just live life to the fullest with their friends family and their music ❤️
It's just surreal to watch them play this song FLAWLESSLY and know this was just over 2 years ago, and then know that they are already dead. It's so upsetting. They made such gorgeous music.
These kids have changed my perception of life and reality. I've never been inherently spiritual but I have never wished more in my life that there is something after death for us because of Ste, Audun, and Trevor. There have never been more pure souls i've seen than these two. They were truly the most special people i've seen and I never even had the chance to meet them. It's absolutely SOUL CRUSHING that there will never be another song by them. Never another performance, nothing. I can only hope I'll see them again after i'm gone. Long live Her's, my favorite band forever.
I saw these beautiful boys on the green man rising stage in 2016. Dont think they were very big back then and I instantly knew they were magic & would be so loved & now people are discovering them every day. Rip x
I like to be optimistic and think that these guys are still alive in an alternative universe and were able to make it. They deserved fame. There was no reason for the universe to take them away at such a young age
i love this

He was always like that, I've been to most of their shows. And audun just always seemed so free on stage, always looked like he was having a blast. So sad to see him go so soon
these guy's energy is unbeatable
these guys sure be playing this song when you arrive to heaven
Can’t believe it’s almost been an entire two years :( anyone here still come and watch this and cry ?
yep, tomorrow will mark one year since their passing :(
@@ccbutty1200 cant believe its been that long already seems like yesterday 🥺
I’m here bro :( still brings magic to my ears
I still can't believe they're gone
I’m still not over what happened to them. :(
I found out what happened to these guys before I'd even heard a note of their music.
After hearing their amazing music and getting to know it, It still hurts to think how tragically their lives were cut short. I'm just glad that their music will live on.
hey, could you maybe do a guitar tutorial to one of their songs? that would be awesome
Makes me cry listening to their happy-sad nostalgia in this song. Frick.
Same it’s not real
me neither :( and i just found out like less than 10 minutes ago cause i went down a UA-cam rabbit hole 😫😞💔 rip
They come back to life every time we press play. When you’re dead you’re dead. But you’re not quite so dead if you contribute something. Love yourself and everyone around you.
Whenever he said "and I'm still hanging on", it's like he was looking up at his mum and it really hits me deep in the core of my heart.
I absolutely hate that I’m just now listening to their music 💔 what an awful and tragic way to discover a band
Moon Child samee😭
i literally started listening to them like 2 months ago. i hadn't even realized that they had passed.. so sad
scarlett my friend recommended this band recently what happened? I’m sorry I’m new too
@@kathy1770 on the 27 of march 2019, they were killed in a head on car crash
Yeah I had just found these guys about a month ago and then saw all these sad comments on UA-cam videos. It’s crazy and tragic how life happens sometimes.
It's so unfair, it's so annoyingly and disturbingly unfair. I can't stand the feeling, i listened to them for the first time like 8 months ago and they've managed to mean literally everything to me. Why is life so cruel, poor little dudes, they had so much coming. So triggering.
Same. I listened to them 8 months ago!
I've just discovered them and wish I hadn't because it's so sad yet they are brilliant.. Its messed my head up.. Their poor family
I have just fallen in love with this band over the last couple months only to learn they’re no longer with us. Your comment sums up my feelings precisely. It’s such a terrible loss 💔
I feel you hearty bruno!!!!🤧🤧🤧💝💝
This is hell and the best people earn their way out.
i get so emotional every. single. time. RIP her’s you guys were only just beginning and you deserved the world
I listen and watch this once a week. It's a must.
everyday , my #1 song on spotify even though most of my other msuic is rap/hiphop and edm. This song always hits.
Duude- this bass player is a legend. Soooo smooth. First time hearing these guys- sad to see they have passed :(
I watch this over 10 times a day - best song :)
BEST SONG EVER.
STILL HERE DAILYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM :'(
I guess i knew this would happen to youuuu...
I listen everyday too 🥺😂
Omg my daughter just showed me these guys. How tragic! They remind me of Tears For Fears from my day. A duo havin' fun together for the sheer joy of making incredible music. R.I.P......
Tears for Fears...👍♥️♥️Still together and making us happy🎼🎤🎸🎶🎵
@@jeannetteburgess2745 I know!! Magic! New album. Saw them in concert a few yrs ago. So great!
@@debbielynn6291 Brilliant!! We are lucky to have such a wealth of talent giving us a whole lot of Joy!
Continue to enjoy yourself Debbie👍🎤🎼🎵🎶🎸
@@jeannetteburgess2745 you as well!!
Yes! They do have a tears for fears sound ❤️
I got the amazing opportunity to see them twice before their passing. I still remember how I felt the first time my friend showed me what once was. It felt like finding a song that aligns with every single molecule in your body. We continued to love this song through our friendship in nostalgia. Since their passing it’s hard to listen to but I always hope somehow they know the profound effect they had on many lives, I wish things could have turned out another way
He’s absolutely going to town with the bass.
he was..
Nice guy energy tbh
Rest in peace for the both of them
When he said “I think it’s red” it made me smile so much I wanted to cry
final de semana
@@sportzyhd85 what’s your problem lol
@@sportzyhd85 i hope ur less miserable a year after posting this reply.
@@sportzyhd85seconding the other reply, I hope you’re in a kinder and more compassionate mind now because this was just filled with seething misery, and on the topic of death? concerning. I really do hope you’re better for yourself and those you come in contact with
it came across the wrong way and even if my comment wasn't filled with hate or distaste when I wrote it it certainly came across that way. on top of that I'm in a incredibly better environment and my happiness and well being is so so much better to what it was a year ago. @@triplesixcrow
4 years ago today, missing you deeply.
i listen to this every midnight before my birthday, happy birthday to me 🎉
happy birthday dude
@@ConeComrade thank you so much
Man... my gf almost pulled the purchase on tickets to go see them here in LA. She was gonna get them for like a weekday show but I had work so we were like it’s all good, we’ll see em next time they’re in LA. They passed away a week later...
The moral of the story is to buy those tickets and to go see those artists cuz you never know when someone’s time is going to be up
Lemme rephrase this a little... my gf wanted to see them when they were coming to Orange County from AZ from a show. She was looking to get tickets the day before their show in So Cal. She wanted to go with me but I said no I couldn’t, I had work, but you should just go alone! She didn’t want to and didn’t end up going. They died in that car crash on their way from AZ to So Cal. So even if we did get tickets, we wouldn’t have been able to see them... but the moral of the story still stands lol. Go see them artists whenever you can
RIP Her’s
if I remember correctly, they had just performed at treefort in idaho where i live, and i also almost got the tickets to see them but had to work. i fully stand by this
@@kalebutevil bro 😔 life is crazy man. It makes me believe in “live life to your fullest everyday.” That job will still be there the next day as long as you stay working there. But to see artists who you love and support when they’re in town… that won’t always be there the next day. I understand exactly how you feel 100% man
dudeeeee similar thing happened to me, mate n i waited in the queue at a festival for long only to be turned away from going into the tent they were in bc we weren't 18 at the time. Security guard even told me "don't worry, you'll get to see them one day"
never did :( they passed about a year later big rip
@@ellenatheodotou7421 damnnn little did that security guard know, you wouldn’t be able to see them again one day 😩
i have so many memories with this band, i remember this song coming out and listening to it on repeat. i would fall asleep to this song and it would play so often that i heard it in my dreams. her’s meant so much to me. truly icons of the indie pop scene. love y’all forever
I've been listening to it on repeat for the past month since I found out about them. Wish I could've seen them live. RIP.
Cant believe i only discovered them a few days ago... so talented and seemed like such nice dudes, R.I.P forever in our tunes and hearts
Stuvan Lemons me too )-: they were just getting big when the accident happened
I literally just finished telling that exact same story to my buddy! I just found out about the accident tonight. Are you on 23 And Me? We might be cousins...
I simply cannot stop listening. This song haunts my daydreams in the best way. What an effect for music to have. I'm glad I'm not alone. R.I.P to these beautiful souls.
We should never let this song die💗
Utmost respect for Stephen.
This song sounds simple in theory to play on guitar, repetitive fingerstyle picking on the right hand, with some pull-offs on the left hand, but believe me. Anyone who has tried to play this song can tell you it is really hard, with the unorthodox extension chords and fast bpm, it can throw you off fast if you messed up on a single note.
Kudos to Stephen being able to play it and sing at the same time. Making it even harder, unless you can subconsciously play the song, and know it by heart.
Rest in piece Her's. Would kill to watch these guys perform live.
I’m a MF COLD hearted person, but I can't see them without shedding a tear
i rarely cry but knowing they aren’t alive anymore makes me cry every time
I mean look how happy they were doing what they love, shits fucked up
Im a pretty emotionally repressed brit, but i cant help but tear up still when i listen to her's
they were amazing. it’s so tragic it really hasn’t sunk in yet for me
the energy they exude while performing is so insane, you can see they are truly happy :) what a fuckin beautiful song
I think I just met the love of my life, he showed me this song while we drew in his sketchbook together at a local coffee shop. I cant stop listening, it brings me so much sadness and love at the same time.
It’s weird to grieve and feel heartbreak connecting with their music knowing what happened to them.
1:57 "What's your favourite colour? What makes you so tough... I think it's red" and then him trying not to laugh his head off. Love it
i love how silly and sweet these guys are. watching them make eye contact and smile makes my day. sad they are gone, but glad they are together and didn't go alone.
god. seeing them play enjoying themselves hurts my heart. I was in high school listening to them. This song is such a core memory for me. 2018 was my last year as a senior and this song gets me choked up every single time.
This song makes me cry for several reasons. RIP
They seem like the sweetest dudes ever. I remember when I first heard What Once Was I was stunned and I listened to it all day, never getting sick of it. I still love this song, I'm so happy these talented guys were able to share their magic with us. Rest in peace babies.
Saw them in LA. They were the pure and sweet.
My two year old daughter's favorite song.
She always asks for the "Mister with the Hat" song. ♥️✨🙏🏻
"Mister with the Hat", that is so cute!
Awww, how adorable! 🥹🥹🩷🩷🫶🫶
Still wishing they were still here.
I had no idea they had passed..I’ve been listening to them for a while now.
I've loved 'What Ones Was' for a few years, and today I decided to look them up on UA-cam. I watched a few of their live sets and realised they are absolute stars. I looked for upcoming gigs - there were none. Then I read their Wiki. I'm so shocked. I'm genuinely shocked and so sad that these absolute gems of music have passed.
This happened to me today. This along with “cool with you.” I went to look them up and discovered this tragedy. Gutted for these young souls 💔
This happened to me as well today, I’m absolutely devastated💔 rest in peace to these beautiful people
I have never seen a bass player move like that. They jammed tf out. This is my first time hearing their music and it’s post humous, it feels odd because this is my only frame of reference and they’re very much alive. RIP.
Honestly I just came to enjoy some good music but I read the comment section and everyone is saying RIP. I just wanted to enjoy some chill music and now I’m sad asf 😭😭😭😭
samesies. fuck
Emrys Lovely same her this always happens to me with this genre.
Same!
And i discovered their music recently 😭
I love this song, when i first heard it i spent the whole day listening to it and still didn't get sick of it
Same 😭😭😭😭
This is the best version
I wish they never died.
I discovered this band two weeks before they died :'(
How did they die ? What the fuck happened?
Joerrel Saguin sadly they both died in a car crash. we will always remember their amazing music💓
Me too, right about that time. I didn't even know they had died until I read in the comments here. :( They were so full of joy.
Same here
I discovered them two weeks AFTER they died :c
1:55 "WHaT's YoUR faVOuRite coLour? WHat maKeS yoU so touGH? [I think its ~red~]"
Barley caught that HAHAH xD
Reference to Liverpool football club (red). They were from Liverpool
@@christopherspina2072 neither of them were from liverpool
@@dotsvg8482 band out of liverpool***
Stephen makes me wish i could rock overalls like this
RIP to one the greatest duos of all time. Their career was just about to blow up. Fly high, Her's. ❤🕊
These guys made a sound I had never heard before. So tragic, they will be missed. Rest In Peace, hope they still have that same energy wherever they are now. RIP.
Travis Edwards yeasayer definitely but they broke up not long ago sigh :(
@Travis Edwards They aren't that simular to the smiths
Kind of remind me of Arctic Monkeys
I played a gig supporting these guys in a small pub in Liverpool called the baltic social before they were making it big, it was the first time I'd seen them play but had seen them around because we went to the same university. It's such a tragedy but they left a huge legacy behind. Pretty honoured to have shared the stage with them that night & watch them amongst the 30 other people in that small pub.
That’s pretty inspiring! That’s how it starts...
My brother showed me this song , and I fell in love off the first listen! I’m not gonna lie I didn’t know about them, and after looking them up I was absolutely devastated seeing the news; I’m from Arizona too. These guys were surely special & had so much more ahead of them~ truly gone too soon. I’ll never let this song fade away, their legacy will live on forever through their music. God bless , stay blessed everyone!! 🙏🏼🌎
This song has been my favourite for a long time now, I used to listen to it when everything was perfect in my life, when my grandma and my dog were still around.
They both passed a few months ago and now I have this song tattooed on my skin forever.
The chemistry and presence between these two was something to behold. Its a damn shame they had to be taken away from us so soon. Fly high
It breaks my heart everytime I watch this.
It's really getting to me right now.
i cannot listen to this song without tearing up :( they truly deserved so much more
This guys friendship is so cool! In 2:58, he sings "What's your favorite color", and after says "I think it's red", and point to the bassist. That second part isn't on the original track.
Спасибо, это такой интересный момент, не все это могут заметить 😄
I discovered this song last week and now I've learned of their deaths and I am shattered. I'm bawling for a band that I just discovered because this song has been on my mind on repeat. I was just searching them online a few minutes ago, while listening to this song, and learned of their passing. So cruel and unfair. So much talent lost too soon. A reminder that we must appreciate each other and live fully, before it's too late. There's no greater gift than to inspire and leave a meaningful impact in others lifes. You do that with your music Stephen and Audun. Thank you Her's
wamen crying about everything. i felt sad too im on the same boat they had so much music to make.
@@chrisjenvizzuso9316 "wamen"
This is exactly what I’m going through at this moment! Bawling for them. Have had this song on repeat all week and finally felt the need to look them up. This is so cruel.
I was high when I discovered they passed away while searching for upcoming concerts and my heart sunk. 😭 I couldn’t stop crying for hours, or listening to the song. Extremely strange feeling of loss. Drunk driver took their lives. 😔
actually shattered..... dtf?
This just goes to show that we never really know when it will be our time to go, so live each and every moment to the fullest and like it was your last
true :(
I would like this comment but the likes are at 69 and I can't ruin that.
Thats stupid you cant live every moment like its the last....you need sleep, eat, and enjoy doing nothing.....everybody dies.....you have to live as if you are inmortal.....
Breaks my heart every time, but this song is so comforting 😢
“I think it’s red!” This song will always be my grounding anthem. Absolutely beautiful. I look forward to hearing this for the rest of my souls existence ❤️
Fuck... Man we are never going to see or hear from them again... That made me cry
My fave video and song...RIP and I’m devastated I always wished of seeing you guys perform
I feel it too
4.6 million views.... That makes me happy, for these guys deserve every single one.
sitting with these guys creating something from scratch would’ve been amazing
They look like the absolute sweetest guys ever. Hope they’re experiencing an infinite timeline where they can just live life to the fullest with their friends family and their music ❤️
It's just surreal to watch them play this song FLAWLESSLY and know this was just over 2 years ago, and then know that they are already dead. It's so upsetting. They made such gorgeous music.
These kids have changed my perception of life and reality. I've never been inherently spiritual but I have never wished more in my life that there is something after death for us because of Ste, Audun, and Trevor. There have never been more pure souls i've seen than these two. They were truly the most special people i've seen and I never even had the chance to meet them. It's absolutely SOUL CRUSHING that there will never be another song by them. Never another performance, nothing. I can only hope I'll see them again after i'm gone. Long live Her's, my favorite band forever.
I saw these beautiful boys on the green man rising stage in 2016. Dont think they were very big back then and I instantly knew they were magic & would be so loved & now people are discovering them every day. Rip x
My favorite part for sure 2:52
obviously, you can’t avoid to vibe
I looped this part (from the studio version) ua-cam.com/video/d_nSOCMtbfM/v-deo.html ~ enjoy ❤️
I love the whole song
