Once upon a time ween, nirvana, and the beach boys were thrown into a blender. Still love these guys and their loudness.
Daniel Bushnell perfect analogy
+Daniel Bushnell more like weezer, nirvana and a sprinkle of green day
+Guido Paturzo no
+Guido Paturzo Green day ? GTFO.
That's a good way to describe them
Whenever I listen to this song I always get the sense of isolation
Gus Sorola Is God the chorus lol
Ik what you mean
Is it the lyric "I'll always be on my own" repeated 137 times?
I wonder why
I love this video. love the song. and love wavves.
Now you love it even more.
Oh and a joy division fan too I see? Nice
Their bassist seems like a lot of fun
I breathe in, so deeply
I'm stealing all the air
Unseated, still dizzy
From acting like I care
I think I'm dying
Maybe I'm thirsty
I think I must be drunk
Woke up and found Jesus
I think I must be drunk
I'll always be on my own
Fucked and alone
I'll always be on my own
I'll always be on my own
I'm a creep, you drain me
It's dripping everywhere
I'm ugly, you're boring
I can't act like I care
I think I'm dying
Maybe I'm thirsty
I think I must be drunk
Woke up and found Jesus
I think I must be drunk
I'll always be on my own
Fucked and alone
I'll always be on my own
I'll always be on my own
...
There's nothing to prove
There's nothing to do
There's nowhere to go
Got nothing to lose
When it comes to being high
Got nothing to do
Got nothing to do
Nothing to prove
Nothing to prove
Nothing to prove
Love this song. Wish wavves would do more acoustic songs. I'd love to hear this played on acoustic
I see that this band is popular on the west coast. When I moved to California, I will buy all of their albums, including FIDLAR.
MADBAD BRAD Or you could not move and buy their albums off eBay/Amazon...
California is expensive as shit to live in.
Do it
did you move to cali yet
Hey mad brad did you ever go to Cali???😂😂😂
One of my favorite albums period.
Great song !!! fuerza wavves gran grupo !!!
This song defines the last 10 years of my life. I will love Wavves as long as I live.
So many nights alone listening to this
"IM UGLY YOUR BORING" haha thats me xD
woke up & found jesus, i think i must be drunk...
Love this track, love these lyrics. Slightly comforting to know my loneliness and existential dread is shared. Also this band reminds me of ween and weezer sort of but is even more melancholy and wonderfully loud.
I like it! Good job wavves
eu amo tanto essa música
I'll never drink alcohol again.
Living Ghost I’ll never smoke alcohol again either.
hows that goin?
Don't inject it in between your toes either kids
Did you drink it again?
this album is good!
Amo tanto esta canción
hits close to home
I keep replaying this for some reason
There's nothing wrong with sounding like the Pixies. Cobain even admitted to trying to rip them off for Teen Spirit.
+SmellsLikeNothing not to mention the pixies rock
Wavves really reminds me of that one band called Wavves. They also sound somewhat similar to this other group called Wavves. And sometimes their lyrics are very reminiscent of this crazy ass band named Wavves
You should check out this band Wavves man
I don't hear it.
This comment is 8 years old and still not funny.
love this!
Favorite song¡
miss thoose days
Dope song.
this is great I really hope this polarizes a lot of people
Dude's winged eyeliner is more on point than mine will ever be.
Bravo!
that was my first thought. Also "you drain me" reminded me of "drain you" by nirvana, whose influence is all over this album
God bless Wavves! 😊😃
I love this
Heaven, Querétato, YOU...UNFORGETTABLE!!!
That was pretty awesome wasn't expecting this
what album is side yr on, on?
I just wanna see the whole movie now!
halfway through, I was gonna say I always feel like wavves videos can turn into snuff films at any moment. and then at the end the vid proved my point :)
beautiful song with a hilarious video. cant get much better than that.
Message of this video fits the song so well! It's all beautiful. Some people dislike anything that makes them feel out of the norm, or gives me a little discomfort ;) open ya eyeballs
This is probably the greatest music video I have ever seen.
I feel like Wavves are the next Nirvana, but as Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins said, it would be really hard for alternative bands to reach mainstream success nowadays and that makes me sad, cause Wavves are so relatable and awesome right now.
this is gold
How cool is this video!
Its dripping everywhere
Wavves being Wavves
Saw this live yesterday at 80/35 in Des Moines and they killed it. SORAW.
another music GEM!
live the wavves
Anyone know of any cameras that shoot this type of quality?
im a creep you drain me me is like an exact quote of nirvana almost... haha how come no one pointed that out yet
a piece of art, it is what it is.
Do somebody has the chords for the last outro
I'm into a lot of out there, dark, powerful stuff but the way this video is put together leaves me wondering what the heck I feel.
"sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets, looking for soul food and a place to eat."
Who gets the reference, gets a cookie.
***** Yes. Thank you. I was beginning to feel worried.
Edit: rip louie
Hopefully I'm not wrong, but is that "Walk on the Wildside" by Lou Reed?
Me gusta el vídeo, pero extraño el crudo sonido de los dos primeros discos...
This song is so underrated
nice
0:45 Feat. Jeff Mangum!
these guys are pretty sick
Jesus, this is fantastic
more COPS music videos please
Nathan and Stephan look so cute when they are dancing, best budzzz
Feel so good to be in the first 300 viewers of this.
I love that Stephen got super into character!
2:16 LOL
insane
YASSS. This was perfect.
what path?
which lyrics?
i love nathan!!!
I wish Kurt Cobain was here to make a cover of this, it seems like something he'd right.
Write
I’m a creep, you drain me
👌👌
1:21 That face
What a love story
So for now, I'll appreciate a familiar sound. Thanks, Wavves.
That ending tho lmao
That one girl dude looks like a chubby version of Dexter 🤣
Nice twist. I like creepy music at the end.
"I'm ugly,
You're boring" used this on a chick once, she had no comeback
Nice
Enrico Pucci genius !
Lmao
Cuz your lame 😊 , duh ... Would have been my response .
Cece sublimesmary ho
that never happened
10/10 gj wavves
THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!! akin to Nirvana genius. I love everyone!
Wooooo
Just another typical Saturday night.
This song slept on
The Wavves are coming 2morrow to my town (phoenix, AZ) for the biggest event of the year 4-20 and it turns out the tickets are sold out v.v FML
I love how the quality of the video looks like a 90's episode of cops.
the lyrics to this song really remind me of something kurt cobain would have come up with
I love Wavves, they're kinda Nirvana-esque in general
Mags O no they aren't holly shit just because they sing about hating life and is a punk-ish band doesnt mean theyre nirvana-esque at all
Nathan Williams is a huge nirvana fan, that would explain why. And the comparison of wavves to nirvana is very cliche at this point. They both have very simple song structure, and they have common roots with punk rock, but other than that, there's really nothing that obviously similar.
FlowerMonk this song has an allusion to radiohead and nirvana lyrics in it at least, and wavves' seems to enjoy cliches to me.
***** he was probably joking man lol
Goat 🐐
Why is this album not on iTunes? DAMMIT!
well, that was awesome
Bit of a nod to Foo Fighters Low video, jables and dave whats not to love with this too?
Ha ha great video really funny
I've yet to hear anyone mention both of them in the same day, but whatevsss
Always be on my own
Siiiiiick
PUUAAAGG!!!!!!!
@callodehacha: Como me probaron que se puede ser feliz haciendo lo que más amas. Cómo los sueños se vuelven realidad.
WAVVES FOEVAAAHHHHHH
well that escalated quickly
it puts the lotion on its' skin
