The way she sings "I was fine on my own" is captivating. I heard this on the radio for the first time right before a marathon and it was in my head the whole time.
@@carljanssens8458 i think i was listening to them one day. i was looking for fans also like on spotify ....i also came across Jetstream Pony...i think they are related.
This particular song from the Beths was my instant first love for the band. Love this band, i hope they always move forward and be ever more successful in their careers. Thank u for making beautiful songs, life becomes much easy to go through with your songs. Big love from Indonesia.
The more I listen to this record, the more I'm convinced that it's one of the all-time great power pop debuts. Five of the songs are flat-out, fall down brilliant pop masterpieces and the other five are merely really really forking good. This is up there with the first Fountains of Wayne record in terms of instant mood enhancement.
@@HaxorSerialKiller I put Great No One, Future Me, Whatever, & Happy Unhappy in the brilliant, little-hairs-stood-at-attention category with the fifth slot occupied by a rotation of the other six songs on the record. That lost spot is currently inhabited by Not Running, which rocks deliciously hard for a bunch of affable jazz students from NZ. I think what makes this album so special is you can make a convincing "best song" argument for any of them.
@@TripFontaine1976 I agree with your assessment of the best 5. 2nd album doesn't seem to have as many outright bangers cause they went a bit slower, but is still good.
@@HawkOfGP Yeah, from what I've heard of the new one (roughly half the songs) it does sound gentler in sonic approach. I read somewhere that Liz and Jonathan are a couple now. Perhaps that accounts for the recent softer edges!
such good lyrics too. thats a really big mug of beer. this is a great power pop band...very much like juliana hatfield bands...uptempo happy sounding music with meloncoly lyrics.
I heard this song last week at a pizza restaurant. I immediately had to Shazam it. Fell in love immediately with the EP and album. I'm so happy I've found this band.
The Beths "Happy Unhappy" I was higher than a biplane Then you hit me like a hurricane I bailed out, hit the ground Washed up in a storm drain Stumbled up the driveway With a handshake and a slow wave Now I'm crashed out on the couch Wondering if you feel the same 'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need For remembering pins and to take out the bins And that one particular film that that actor was in I see your face superimposed over everything It ain't right 'Cause I was fine on my own Tolling steady like a dial tone Couldn’t you leave me? I was happy unhappy But now I'm overthrown Wish my heart were really made of stone And I could forget you Like I really want to I was living with your spare change In the pocket of your cutaways And I get so spent Waiting on your lunch break Broke every window pane So I can feel the cold rain When I lie in bed catching death Trying to wash it all away 'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need For delivering lies and suppressing the sighs And for navigating escape when I get lost in your eyes It's taking up all of my time just to keep it in line It ain't right 'Cause I was fine on my own Tolling steady like a dial tone Couldn’t you leave me? I was happy unhappy But now I'm overthrown Wish my heart were really made of stone And I could forget you Like I really want to I was fine on my own Tolling steady like a dial tone Couldn’t you leave me? I was happy unhappy But now I'm overthrown Wish my heart were really made of stone And I could forget you Like I really want to I could forget you I could forget you I could forget you
I discovered this song 10 months ago while i was buying a t-shirt in American Eagle, they play this song in the speakers and i instantly shazamed it. I just love this song
whis was exactly what I wanted to write out of my heart in a song today and now I'm overthrown too because the lyrics matched the feelings I had lately so well...I guess I can't tell anything that hasn't been said
Hearing The Beth's debut album Future Me Hates Me is like when I first heard Weezer's The Blue Album, or Teenage Fanclub's Bandwahonesque. Each song is an absolute winner.
Last seen (by me) supporting Death Cab for Cutie in Bristol (Wed 30th). Only recognised one track from hearing it on 6Music, but really enjoyed and will definitely be following! You remind me of Lauren Laverne/Kenicke/early Britpop. Love it! X

This song is in my head taking up space I need for that one particular film that that actor was in
Not heard a song I’ve instantly liked this much in years
I felt the same way about the album!
👍
It's crazy how consistent their quality is. Liz is a world-class power pop songwriter, in my top 10 ever.
The way she sings "I was fine on my own" is captivating. I heard this on the radio for the first time right before a marathon and it was in my head the whole time.
If you could hear sunshine it would sound like the beths
💛💛💛💛
check out the blake babies...juliana hatfield and the same kind of clever lyrics...thats why i love the beths...
what a great comment. 1 year ago...you won the internet :)
@@miked4309 And check Allo Darlin'...

I just find myself listening to this while in Indonesia. I just broke up with someone I had really fallen for and this song is helping.
Holy crap, this band is great. I can't wait until it's top-down convertible weather in Chicago so I can crank this up for everybody to hear
Convertible weather this past weekend, looking forward to more of it soon - the Beths will be blasting from my speakers regardless 🤘

What five do you consider really good? Happy unhappy, Future me hates me, Not running, Little death, whatever?

I have no idea how i just found this song, but im so glad i did.
めっちゃ好きになった！！！
Haha, my English teacher talked about this song. Thought I’d give it a listen. No regrets.
Theres a haiku in there somewhere. trying to get out...
At the moment: the worlds best popband
This really deserves more recognition.
Usually when someone says "check out this band" I listen to one song and then forget they exist. Dad... you were right, this was a good one.
You ever just feel like your head is a pineapple? I found this video to be very relateable.
What I love is when she sings the high notes. Such a beautiful soprano voice! Love it!
seriously the chords in combination with the melody in the chorus wow
Awesome!
such good lyrics too. thats a really big mug of beer.
this is a great power pop band...very much like juliana hatfield bands...uptempo happy sounding music with meloncoly lyrics.
@@miked4309 this is literally my fav thing. happy instrumentals with sad and deep lyrics. Paramore's latest album nailed this
@@reesh7550 check out beach bunny. prom queen is an amazing song.
I just found this from a Lyric video, and I'm happy af.
same!!!
literally found out about this band from lyr1c's video, and now it's one of my most favorite bands, I absolutely love all of their songs
I heard this song over the muzak at a restaurant I was eating dinner at it caught me instantly. I'm so glad I managed to shazam it!
Drummer absolutely nails it
There should be a sitcom about y'all. and this could be your theme. LOVE it.
It takes a lot to excite this middle aged indie kid. I fucking love The Beths.
3年半前にApple musicのオススメでこの曲に出会いthe bethsを知りました。 いつの日か日本でのライブを楽しみにしています！
OMG that jangle that starts at about :30. I LOVE YOU. I need this music in my life.
ちょーカッコ良い！ライブ見たい
Absolutely brilliant! How can a song be so perfect??
Man, I'm late to this really wonderful party, would love to see a collab with Mono Neon!
This song and video are everything that's good about pop music.
Got to this from the Johanna Warren cover and it's insane how different the tone is between the two! Really like both
The wonderful radio show UKNY on WFUV, just played this last night; love it!
Seen the Beth's in Dublin last night, they are fucking awesome .So tight and full of energy and Liz is a peach of a human being .
Power-pop perfection, This should be a hit record. Come to San Francisco soon!
According to their site they will be there 29th September at The Independent. I saw them in Chch NZ two nights ago, they were great.
Thanks so much!! Getting tix now
I was so enthralled watching the pineapple person i didnt even realize the lyrics were there.
Thanks for highlighting pineapple dyspraxia. With our patience and support pineapples can catch a ball too
this is the first time a youtube comment made me actually laugh out loud
This song is so good. I NEED to make an animation out of this
This is my new favorite music video
I keep coming back to this
I just found this and it’s already my favorite song ❤️
why do i love this video so much
I heard this song last week at a pizza restaurant. I immediately had to Shazam it. Fell in love immediately with the EP and album. I'm so happy I've found this band.
Beths bets are dead certs!
The Beths
"Happy Unhappy"
I was higher than a biplane
Then you hit me like a hurricane
I bailed out, hit the ground
Washed up in a storm drain
Stumbled up the driveway
With a handshake and a slow wave
Now I'm crashed out on the couch
Wondering if you feel the same
'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need
For remembering pins and to take out the bins
And that one particular film that that actor was in
I see your face superimposed over everything
It ain't right
'Cause I was fine on my own
Tolling steady like a dial tone
Couldn’t you leave me?
I was happy unhappy
But now I'm overthrown
Wish my heart were really made of stone
And I could forget you
Like I really want to
I was living with your spare change
In the pocket of your cutaways
And I get so spent
Waiting on your lunch break
Broke every window pane
So I can feel the cold rain
When I lie in bed catching death
Trying to wash it all away
'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need
For delivering lies and suppressing the sighs
And for navigating escape when I get lost in your eyes
It's taking up all of my time just to keep it in line
It ain't right
'Cause I was fine on my own
Tolling steady like a dial tone
Couldn’t you leave me?
I was happy unhappy
But now I'm overthrown
Wish my heart were really made of stone
And I could forget you
Like I really want to
I was fine on my own
Tolling steady like a dial tone
Couldn’t you leave me?
I was happy unhappy
But now I'm overthrown
Wish my heart were really made of stone
And I could forget you
Like I really want to
I could forget you
I could forget you
I could forget you
Christ! This in nothing short of a pop rock masterpiece. Wow!!
my fav song ever right now
This is the best song I've heard in ages
I love it how its filmed in auckland!!!
space i need for delivering lies lol. this band is so awesome, so glad NPR told me abut them

The song is bliss mate x
I love it so much
Absolutely proud of The Beths in my #KIWIBROCREW!! Thank you Carpark Records for having them on your label!!

Best song of 2019
I don't have the heart to tell him.
i think it’ll be really very hard for me to get tired of this song
Very catchy.
I heard that song at an H&M store and I'm sooo glad I shazamed it!
H&M have the best songs on!
This is a killer song.
Included in my indie playlist
You had me @ The Beths
