    I didn't know these people until 4 hours ago, and now, fortuitously, I shall go and see them live in Auckland in a few weeks. As a 50-year old, it warms the cockles to see younger folk do baggier clothes and jangly guitars so well.

      It’s insane. My best friend introduced me to just this song 1 and a half years ago. I loved it but I forgot about it. Nearly a year later, they were having a concert in my city and I decided to go for the first concert of my life to their band, which kind of made me listen to all 3 of their albums. And wow. This is one of the best modern bands I have heard. I hope you have a similar experience

As a milennial it's funny to see everyone I know watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Star Trek:DS9, and singing along to They Might Be Giants, as if we weren't all babies when this stuff was actually in the public consciousness. It's good to know the generation we were born into.

      This song in particular really has her Cape Breton accent showing. I've heard these guys' music before but honestly didn't know much about their background. Turns out the singer is the daughter of one of the Rankin Family members. They were HUGE back in the 90s. And the chorus maaarry me aaaarchie is just Rankin Family af. edit: Molly is John Morris Rankin's (RIP) daughter. TIL.

    Heard this song on KDVS 90.3 while driving and it was just one of those perfectly timed moments I like to call "movie soundtrack" moments. The driving speed, the volume level, the time and color of the day, the blur of what's been past on the drive, the head space, the smells, the thoughts and emotions, the vibe the universe was on that very second.. with just me.. and just like that- an ordinary moment with ordinary being. This ..is how memories are made

    My husband and I walked down the aisle to this song. As soon as we heard its opening line “you expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony” we just knew. We were always both so adamantly opposed to marriage when we were in our 20s. Flush with the arrogance and certainty of youth. The coy, tongue in cheek tone of the song struck a cord.

    You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
    You've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
    We spend our days locked in a room contained inside a bubble
    And in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    During the summer take me sailing out on the Atlantic
    I won't set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic
    So honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
    Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Too late to go out, too young to stay in
    They're talking about us living in sin
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie

    The visuals in this song remind me of my childhood. Goofing around and having fun, around the water. Now even the opening guitar line sounds like youth to me. And that wishful dreamy echo on the vocals. :)

    I haven’t heard this song in years, and now I’m crying as my mind ties it to the last two. We never listened to this song together, but hearing this now I can only think of her.
    I broke up with her months ago, and did so because I knew it was best for me and believed it was best for her. I still believe this, and yet the pain seems no less for being the one who chose to leave.
    Although I know she cannot see it now, I believe a happiness awaits her that is far greater than what I could give. Such a gentle soul deserves no less, and I pray she finds it soon.
    Love you still, Samara.
