i was always waiting for him to say " Yo fuck the streets bitch it's all about Burnside! You pussies need a lesson from Red!"

[@SamSveistrup]

Pretty Sweet

[@MrRayinsf]

One of the greatest and most underrated musicians ever to come out of the Bay area. Amazing.

[@13showzilla]

woah that was pretty sweet

[@Olhado256]

Easily one of the best songs of the 2010s. So underappreciated. I hope she'll get rediscovered when arty music with big feelings inevitably makes a comeback.

[@mjc1970]

22 - I'm 52... I came back to revisit this classic. Love it.

[@mediocrityrulz13]

EMA is probably one of the most underrated and divisive bands today. That said, they are entirely misunderstood as conceptual noise geniuses. Haters gonna hate on the internet, but you're out there making waves and giving people a reason to live and make art! The Mississippi Studios show in Portland was full of so much love and support, so thanks for giving us your best!

[@spicecrop]

Enough with the stupid "hatters gonna hate" bullshit. People like stuff or they don't . It doesn't matter if it's EMA or fucking mashed potatoes and gravy. People have a right to their opinion especially about music without being called a "hatter" by children like you. I like EMA but if I didn't, so fucking what. Get over it!

[@Yoshiiinko]

spicecrop Yes, of course! Thats why modern popular songs are full of shit and big companies pay for big names to create fake songs that manipulate young population. Some people just like something because majority likes it and not because of their own opinion.

[@MrPulserifle]

this not only sends shivers down my spine but my legs too. epic

[@SkateMyTaco]
