My #1 vote in TripleJ hottest 100. What a dreamy voice and sweet guitar hooks. Takes you away to California. Instant Classic, very high up on my list of greatest songs of all time
Found this one recently and can’t stop playing it. It instantly puts a smile on my face. Legit had the same thought that it may be one of the best songs of all time
Rollin' in the pretty cars, he's fallen behind Chandeliers and cigarettes, you mays well be mine I am waiting slowly for these times not to end He is looking back at me to make sweet amends I won't know where to go if your love hurts me I don't know where to go We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies "Was she a star?" You're only asking me now Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time? Weren't you watching her the whole damn time? I don't know where to go if your love hurts me I don't know where to go I don't know where to go if your love hurts me I don't know where to go Carnivals and honey bees, it's just what I liked Hangin' by the glassy ties when the dreamer was quiet You're the kind that walks behind 'til you find what you need And if the shells aren't perfect, throw them back to the sea I don't know where to go if your love hurts me I don't know where to go We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies "Was she a star?" You're only asking me now Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time? Weren't you watching her the whole damn time? Is there a place you know where we can stop? Is there a place you know? It's just how you talk to me that way It's just how you talk We were driving to Mexico, cruising past the fast cars And they'll be saying to you "Was she a star?" You're only asking me now Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time? Weren't you watching her the whole damn time?

As a man who normally gravitates (though not consciously) to male artists and male fronted bands, 2018 has shaped up to be an amazing year for female artists and female bands. This girl’s LP might make my year end list. Might even have a top 10 of all female artists- a definite first for me!
Saluer le gardien, une dernière fois, puis franchir les portes du pénitencier. Près du motel, récupérer la moto, démarrer sans penser à rien et, une fois sur l'autoroute, le regard vers l'azur, écouter _Palo Alto_, de l'Australienne Holly Rankin, alias *Jack River*, extrait d'un premier EP (_Highway Songs n°2_, 07/10), qui fait crépiter des harmonies impétueuses comme on n'en avait pas écrit depuis Sharon Von Etten ou Cat Power. Une chanson comme un coup de poing. Comme un souffle. Comme une libération.
Picking up Nirvana here but also hints of a John Frusciante track too (although the name slips me). Anyway, cant believe I'm only finding this in 2019. Awesome track.
I need an easy friend I do, with an ear to lend I do think you fit this shoe I do, but you have a clue I'll take advantage while You hang me out to dry But I can't see you every night Free (I do, I do) I'm standing in your line I do hope you have the time I do pick a number too I do keep a date with you I'll take advantage while You hang me out to dry But I can't see you every night Free I need an easy friend I do, with an ear to lend I do think you fit this shoe I do, but you have a clue I'll take advantage while You hang me out to dry But I can't see you every night No, I can't see you every night Free I do I do I do I do
it would just perfect if you could record accoustic sessions of your songs, or simply some high quality live acoustic performances :) the music is perfect already..

Old school indie vibes
This popped up on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist, and I'm so thrilled. What a phenomenal track!
Same for me this week. Good way to start 2021!

Underrated song
I like how she combines everyone else’s talent into her own
I love when a music video is exactly what you envisioned and more
Get this clear...Jack River is a Great Talent..
Rollin' in the pretty cars, he's fallen behind
Chandeliers and cigarettes, you mays well be mine

The whole EP is awesome. Deserves to blow up. Great album

Ugh her smile @ 1:02. Such a qt
What an absolute banger
I love this tune
This is so so good and I always remember it and come back to give it a listen
It's a special mix of vulnerable and artful
Been listening to your music awhile. Such a sound and vibe I dig. Never stop! 😀

Saw her live at undertone GC 🤙🏻
Wow the beginning chords - shades of About a Girl by Nirvana
I noticed that too! I came to the video to see if anyone else had noticed :)
Same chords just without the treble and slightly slower bpm.
Exactly the same!
I found this comment 6 years later, and I came here for the same exact reason.
catchiest song !!
needs more views, such a good song
First time hearing this tune on jjj this morning - perfect road trip track for the mixtape 😍
such a beautiful song
I love love your music Jack River! keep it up always
Beautiful music jack river❤❤
LOVE this song!!
i love your song, album cover and this video. I like you so much!!
Picking up Nirvana here but also hints of a John Frusciante track too (although the name slips me).
Anyway, cant believe I'm only finding this in 2019. Awesome track.
What part of the song reminds you of JF?
I'm only finding this in 2021... And now I'm going to search for this Frusciante influence in the song...
The backing vocals are so Frusciante! Especially around 1:17
John fru is life
So good!
Soo go to see you in Australia
Recognized those first 2 chords instantly, sounds like About A Girl, Nirvana
That Crazy Taxi clip isn't gonna slide past me
Me encantó esta canción!
I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do, but you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free (I do, I do)
I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do, but you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
No, I can't see you every night
Free
I do
I do
I do
I do
Was trying to see if I could spot anywhere I know. I think I made out market from twin peaks, but not sure :D.
Enjoyed the song of course. Well done.
it would just perfect if you could record accoustic sessions of your songs, or simply some high quality live acoustic performances :) the music is perfect already..
Saf there are some on spotify
Lana del Rey meets No Doubt meets the Raveonettes
man i love lana del rey
I thought about Lana too...
Cool
Brazil 🇧🇷 I loved the music
any similar songs to Palo Alto 'aside from the Nirvana one) ? thanks
The last four bars of the chorus are pretty similar to The Past Recedes (John Frusciante).
@@sc2057l Thank you Steven !
the aesthetic tho
This song is the shit! Listening from NZ X
Does anybody have the lyrics? Can't seem to find them anywhere 😔
Might not be 100% correct but:
Rollin' in the pretty cars
he's fallen behind
Chandeliers and cigarettes
you mays well be mine
I am waiting slowly for these times not to end
He is looking back at me to make sweet amends
I won't know where to go
if your love hurts me
I won't know where to go...
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
Was she a star
You're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time
I won't know where to go
if your love hurts me
I won't know where to go.
Carnivals and honey bees
It's just what I liked
Hangin' by the glassy ties
When the dreamer was quiet
You're the kind that walks behind
Till you find what you need
And if the shells aren't perfect
Throw them back to the sea
I won't know where to go
if your love hurts me
I won't know where to go.
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
Was she a star
You're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time
Is there a place you know
Where we can stop
Is there a place you know?
It's just how you talk to me that way
it's just how you talk...
We were driving to Mexico
Cruising past the fast cars
And they'll be saying to you
Was she a star you're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
Was she a star
You're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time
I won't know where to go
If your love hurts me
I won't know where to go.
have you got the lyrics to Fool's Gold?
Literally came to the comments to see if anyone noticed about a girl by nirvana and I was not wrong
does ANYONE know the lyrics to this
does anyone know the lyrics to this song ??

3ree6ixty270 FUCK YOU! I don't want ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DISGUSTING SELF!
And here I thought this might be a song about Stanford.
Are we agree, the beginning of the song sounds like About a Girl from Nirvana?
Nirvana - About A Girl.... Anyone?
Yeah ... it's pretty blatant
crazy taxi
"it's just how you talk to me that way..." mmmm mm
Anyone getting John Frusciante vibes here ?
This song would be perfect with a guitar lead break.
About a girl
Love this song, i dont rate the video
Ummm, Am I the only one who thinks she's ripped of "About a Girl"
Why have I only heard this song now?
I remember my first trust fund song...
