@@essemmetv People don't worry about outright covers. What bothers people so much about a song that sounds a bit like something else in places but does something very different with the sound overall?
I grew up on quarry road, snuck out to the abandoned quarry through the abandoned railroad track trail through the woods to smoke weed and party with my friends. This hit home!
The seamless shift from Verses to the Chorus without a bridge. I haven't heard that in so long. This song is amazing....I could say a lot more But I think that somes it up. Awesome fucking song.
This song is great. It does do some different and unique things, but you honestly can't deny the plain fact that when it comes to the verse melody specifically, it's a pretty unapologetic and blatant lift of "Waterloo Sunset". I don't mind it - the melody is wonderful and classic. But also good to acknowledge where it came from.
I agree completely that this sounds like Kinks/Waterloo Sunset. What I wonder is whether it's a lift, or an uncanny case of reinventing the wheel. Is it possible that this young lady never even heard the Kinks song but came up with the melody on her own - especially because it's based on a very common three-chord (1-5-4) progression)? I really don't know, just wondering... Either way, it is one of the best melodies I have ever heard.
the lyrics of this song are NUTS live by the quarry and feel aftershocks all the time and there is an old lady that lived around the corner that gave out full size candy bars on halloween...
@@miked4309 too bad because there is some great, weird country out there. When I hear Wednesday's slightly bent country songs, with the beautiful steel guitar, I can tell they truly love the genre.

I love these types of bands like Wednesday, Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail, Waxahatchee, etc., who sound a lot like 90s artists like Liz Phair, Cat Power, The Sundays, Pavement, Sebadoh, Lemonheads, The Flaming Lips, Tripping Daisy, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre and The Breeders.
@@glc0stanza me too - saw MJ open for Plains (Jess Williamson & Katie Crutchfield) I had the last Wednesday record Twin Plagues, but didn't make the connection until I saw MJ live
Definitely the album of the year so far for me. Just astoishingly good from start to finish, and I hear more in it every time I listen. Like others have said I think their sound hits like “country shoegaze,” but Karly Hartzman is like if a singer-songwriter on the level of Courtney Barnett fronted such a band, which is just an unreasonable, almost scary amount of awesomeness. Just incredible songwriting, Southern Gothic storytelling, and intensity. Is this how exciting it was when Springsteen was up and coming?
A surprisingly refreshing timewarp back to the mid to late 90's. This sound is so rarely pulled off anymore, without just seeming cheap. This feels genuine and cathartic, like it did then👏 Amazing voice and singing style!
Otis Gibbs turned me on to your band, and you're great. Now I just realized you're from Asheville, where Im moving soon. Can't wait to discover a new local scene where I have no preconceived notions from everybody's past bands!!!
"They have scoliosis from constant slumps in misery" Pure poetry
I can't stop listening to this song. It has the storytelling of a folk song, but it sounds grungey and country. Love discovering new bands.
"Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing into the night"
"People so busy make me feel dizzy, taxi lights shine so bright"
First thing I thought when I heard this. Return to Waterloo.
I hear some Waterloo Sunset in here and I love it :)
(I heard that too...that's a plain ripoff, unfortunately)
@@essemmetv People don't worry about outright covers. What bothers people so much about a song that sounds a bit like something else in places but does something very different with the sound overall?
@@essemmetv cry about it
Same.
I think those licks are from a folk tune that the Kinks used for Waterloo.
So no copyright infringement worries for Wednesday.
Sounds like they copied and pasted the verse melody. Even to the point of starting a line with two names a la Teri and Julie…
"Dirty old river, must you keep rollin'". Speaking of which, sadly I won't see them in London, as they've already sold out. I love Wednesday.
Yeah I heard that too!
Aha yepppp exactly my thought too!
Ha, that did sound rather familiar! Good catch.
Undeniable album of the year, so fucking killer
Oh man!
I feel like I'm 22 again discovering really cool music in the 90s!
Love it
exactly what i was thinking
inspired in part by The Sundays, makes sense
This is goddamn amazing. Guitar driven rock with perfect lyrics.
Opening sounds like a Pavement song. Love love it
I listened to the whole album carefully, and I think they save their best tracks to the end of the album. Greetings from Turkey:)

Can't wait to see you live again, this time at a much larger venue! So glad Wednesday is getting the recognition they deserve!
Song reminds me of a saying on my coffee mug "just another shitty day in paradise". Love this song.
Neat. 90s alt rock is in vogue again.

Heard this bang bang banger on KCPR yesterday driving up 101 in the late Sunday afternoon... college radio lives!
Great song!!
It's about fucking time indie rock hit Gummo country. Peace, love and empathy from Appalachia.
No cat is safe

@@gas-huffer I have some bad news for you buddy
Wow. You guys have such an epic sound. This is so nice, man.
the lyrics of this song are NUTS live by the quarry and feel aftershocks all the time and there is an old lady that lived around the corner that gave out full size candy bars on halloween...
The sly look Karly gives right after saying "mob thing" at 2:55 - like she's spilling some juicy goss - is SO compelling
i love 6 songs on this album. shoegaze makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. something soothing about the droning guitars.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Wednesday ❤❤
I love all of them.
@@youthofyesterdayrecords the only reason im not in love with everything is b/c i dont like country/western music.

@@bonkyb8587 i like rockabilly and psychobilly. i love the supersuckers. theyve got a southern rock kinda thing.
Amazing song amazing video amazing band
Saw them last night. Great show . Imagine Wilco fronted by Lucinda Williams
This song reminds me of waterloo sunset by the kinks, but I mean that in the biggest complimentary way possible.
one of my favs from the album frl
Banging track! Feels like the rural/smalltown counterpart to that Lou Reed track "Romeo Had Juliet". Y'all rock
I'm a felon and also a lover of 90s music and now a giant fan of your tunes. You guys nail it with every song..fan for life...
Did you mean…. Melon?
song of the year (probably) IMO
Great album. Loving it.
Good golly i'm excited for this puppy to drop!!
Excited to see Wednesday in DC!
I cannot get this song out of my head.
Sick music video! Righteous progression throughout!

I highly recommend Snarls too (if you have not heard of them) Walk In The Woods, Better Off, Twenty - all great songs by them!
@@Matt-zj1pm Thank you, I'm going for it.
My favourite track off the album is What's So Funny? It's amazing to hear such a strong track that wasn't even one of the singles.
waterloo sunset eh
Waterloo Sunset for these times
Pretty much
I love the 90s 2000s Indy alt stuff . I was just listening to bully now this feels similar
Wholesome like corn. ♥
But much more digestible
small town feel-the uhaul is cool-wednesday band has many good songs-cool sound
Such a pleasant 🎵
Freaking obsessed
Amazing song, wow!
Waterloo Sunset but different chorus and lyrics. Great sound!
Waterloo Sunset :)
Not only did I find this gem, but I found out MJ Lenderman is in the band. Epic!
Haha. About 8 months ago I did same two step. Found MJ first and then Wednesday (whom I adore) was second.
@@glc0stanza me too - saw MJ open for Plains (Jess Williamson & Katie Crutchfield) I had the last Wednesday record Twin Plagues, but didn't make the connection until I saw MJ live
there melodies are so infectious!! her voice just bends
and forums to what ever she wants to say! love that about these songs!
You, sir, are a poet. Well said.
Phenomenal. Love you guys. Can't wait to see you at Kilby & in Denver!
this is actually pretty nice!
Awesome video and song
This is so easily my favorite song in the album, but it's all fantastic. Hope you go far!
The vibe of the track is very gorgeous!🤙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song makes me cry a lot 😢

Heard this on the radio and had to look it up.
I Love this song! ❤❤❤
Another great song!
Can't wait to see you at Nelsonville!
I get Pavement feels from this. That is not a common thing. Great job
Yep, this is it. Totally reminds me of Stephen Malkmus.
Waterloo Sunset!
The only thing I dislike about this video is I can only like it once.
WOOOOOOOOOO
Reminds me a bit of Waterloo Sunset
I'm hearing shades of Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks.
A surprisingly refreshing timewarp back to the mid to late 90's. This sound is so rarely pulled off anymore, without just seeming cheap. This feels genuine and cathartic, like it did then👏 Amazing voice and singing style!
More hooks than papaws tackle box!
Most here are to young to get this but it's like the early days of music videos on MTV, $20 budget and use whatever you could.
Every day is someone's birthday..let's PARTY EVERY FKN DAY 🎉
thanks to KXT radio ( 91.7 FM ), the University of North Texas college station, for making me aware of your music......big fan !
