"Get Better" from Mates Of State's album Rearrange Us, out on Barsuk Records: www.barsuk.com... Directed by Daniel Garcia Produced by Steve Choo and My Active Driveway
This played for a while on our in-store music at Bath & Body Works when I worked there back in '08... The best thing that came out of working there. xD
I love that this band is just two people and they happen to be married. That would be awesome in my opinion to make music like this with someone you're in love with.
"Forget your politics for a while. Let the color schemes arrive." This song speaks on my thoughts lately. People are always gonna disagree, but we could compromise, or if not, just all be the same for a while. We're not so different at all from one another. Listen to this song live. YES
Stephenie Meyer loves the songs from this group. Actually, on her myspace's page she used to have Mates of State - My Only Offer playing at the background.
Forget all your politics for a while Let the color schemes arrive Come onboard, it's a curious sight Absorbing sound that's never been right Never ahead of, never behind it Occasionally guarded, just keeps us surrounded It's luck Everything's gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better Ah I propose a less serious boat But don't mistake it for a party of jokes, who are never ahead of, never behind us Floating in circles there's more to remind them of less Everything's gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better Done I'm done I'm done
I just saw therm a few hours ago, and they were absolutely fantastic. I'd never even heard of them before, but now I'm definitely a fan. The Postal Service was great too, as expected :)
My teacher showed me this band, mogwai, iron and wine, and Thunderbirds are now!. I am so glad he did._____ Mr. Morley, saving teenagers from shitty music since 2001
I'm really into Mates of State even as they have transitioned to where they presently are, but I will always miss the callbacks that was always present in their earlier albums, even Team Boo. Bring it Back was sorta the end of that era, marking the beginning for the wifey to kinda take over on vocals, which is a bit disappointing. I still love their sound though.

Came back here after 15 years.
Brought me to tears, so beautiful.
I have been looking for this video for 3 years, and it didn't disappoint.

I really have a passion for this bands music now. This song really helped me through some tough times I had.
Still one of my favorite songs, even after all these years!
even after all *these* years!
That show was AMAZING! The first show I've ever seen where I loved all the bands!
I was reminded of this band on a "greatest 2 perdon bands of all tine" blog. Damn, these sounds bring me back
This is my favorite song by my favorite band. Way to go Mates of State! It is amazing how much their sound has evolved since their last album!
15 years later, how you feel now? Goes so fast...
that drummer is one lucky dude.
His wife is absolutely adorable, gorgous and a greatsinger.
I loveMOS
I love that this band is just two people and they happen to be married. That would be awesome in my opinion to make music like this with someone you're in love with.
God this song is amazing on so many levels.
Just saw them last night and I got to say that they sounded very good live. I recommend seeing them in person.
I've loved these guys for years,
I heard them on the radio yesterday
it was a trip
maybe they're not indie anymore
The singing rabbit on the scooter is irresistibly charming. I just keep watching the first 25 seconds repeatedly.
Uhh, went to the Mates of State show last night... Amazing! Such an under rated and under appreciated band!
MATES OF STATE RULES ALL!!!!
everything's gunna get better even if it never gets better
*lighter
Arrived here by accident. I love this video. Can't stop watching.
this is one of the best videos and tracks I've heard in a long time -- and I listen to trance...
i love this song so much. it just makes me happy.

Let’s look for commonalities, not at all our differences all the time. Value differences for the different perspectives that keep us all in check.
Another triumph by a very underrated band
The singing rabbit on the scooter is irresistibly charming.
M.O.S!! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
havent listend for a while
still dope
Great song. The video reminds me of the movie Eagle vs. Shark. :)
Very good song, best I've heard by them. Superb video too pretty much sells the song.
Excellence in audio stimulation
I'm here again in 2021
this song is so amazing !!!! I had never heard this band until I read stephenie meyer's books

Mates Of State
"Get Better"
Re-Arrange Us

dir.: Daniel Garcia
It's weird how similar this video is to "what does the fox say". even though this came out before that did.
Love this song!!!!!
Forget all your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive
Come onboard, it's a curious sight
Absorbing sound that's never been right
Never ahead of, never behind it
Occasionally guarded, just keeps us surrounded
It's luck
Everything's gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better
Ah
I propose a less serious boat
But don't mistake it for a party of jokes, who are never ahead of, never behind us
Floating in circles there's more to remind them of less
Everything's gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better
Done
I'm done
I'm done
Can't wait the whole album!
They will be at Warehouse live in Houston this Wednesday I can't wait!
I just saw therm a few hours ago, and they were absolutely fantastic. I'd never even heard of them before, but now I'm definitely a fan. The Postal Service was great too, as expected :)

Heard about these guys on NPR today.
Amazing song.

The video is...I don't know. But I'll pretty much give MOS the benefit of the doubt for anything they do. They're fantastic.
This is soooo awesome!

Nice!
If the rest of the record sounds like this it's a definite buy for me ^^
This song is the freakin bomb!
Her voice reminds me of the girl in The Weepies. They have a similar singing voice, very pretty voices I might add
They have added 2 people to their band for instruments. They play guitar, violin, trombone, cello, ect...
oooooooo yay.

Everything's gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better!!!!
Agreed.

Come on board, it's a curious sight.
I'm really into Mates of State even as they have transitioned to where they presently are, but I will always miss the callbacks that was always present in their earlier albums, even Team Boo. Bring it Back was sorta the end of that era, marking the beginning for the wifey to kinda take over on vocals, which is a bit disappointing. I still love their sound though.
What appears in google is a fucking wrong video with the title
