Lyrics:
he's a very online guy
he likes to hit reply
he's incredibly vigilant
hair with the feathered wings
he likes to pull the strings
it's incredibly visible
we all know everything that he says and does
leave your location on and just follow the buzz
he's only one filter away
he's only one follow one filter away
he's a very online guy he types his cool replies
he's incredibly animal
front of the wedding trains
he laps up all domains
and he loves a patio
he's only one flicker away
he's only one photo one filter away
like a thinning wave what was it supposed to be?
the truth is i'm afraid of sudden change
but when you're close to me does anyone notice?
life disintegrates what was it supposed to be?
the truth is i'm afraid to turn away
but when you're ghosting me does anyone notice?
he's only one filter away
he's only one photo one flicker away
he's only one photo one follow one filter away
he's a very online guy
This band writes some of the most masterful bridges. You know one's coming, but you have no idea where it's going to take you.
Exactly this
Still miss what to me is their best song, Dreams Tonite.
This made me pay attention and you're very right!
Love them
I love how Alvvays has started becoming more experimental because they're so good at it.
Yes. Please pass the 'shrooms.
I don't like that, i prefer the old sound.
@ We all have different opinions and that's fine!
@ Yeah, that’s just how it goes. Tame Impala was my favorite band for years until the third album, Currents. It’s the most popular one, but I think it sucks lol. Imagine how many people were mad when the Beatles went from writing old love songs to psychedelic drones. Still, this might be my new favorite song of theirs.
@@jaredf6205 The same happend with me and Mac Demarco.
I'm a Japanese high school student and I am a big fan of Alvvays. Their songs make every day wonderful. Thank you very much!
hey firework human (hanabi ningen?)
hi! That's right,hanabi ningen.
ua-cam.com/video/TcMwgZxohak/v-deo.html&ab_channel=EscKey
yeah, I like them too.
So cool! Your English is great! I am half-Japanese and it makes me happy to hear that there are Japanese who like this band too. www
Never buy no weed from the gas station bro
Don’t buy no gas at the gas station
Dang I wish we had weed stations where I live bro. I would be straight dead all day and night tho
Dont ever buy no gas station from the gas station
No, buy the gas station bro, never the weed
You win at commenting!
1:21 the bridge on this is absolutely amazing
It really shows off Molly's vocal range, like damn
Yeah fr it is!
The bridge is absolutely perfect
watching this in 144p in the smallest window possible is an experience.
this track is a liminal space, like an empty supermall at midnight. i can't resist going back time and again.
"this track is a liminal space"
:/
It's cool to see one of my favorite bands write a song about my best friend, Nick Mullen.
😱😲🤣
wondering why you would make this reference until i remembered how i found out about the new album
@@dickdick130 now i feel dumb lol I just found this band
lol
im extremely gay at the moment
Uzi bought me here
I write music about human relationships with technology, and this song is absolutely PERFECT! I wish I wrote it!!! ツ
The entire album... just absolute power/dream pop perfection. This is, without a doubt, one of those VERY rare, seminal/hallmark albums of the genre from the last 50 years. I've been listening to it non-stop since Friday. A simply beautiful achievement. Melodies flying all throughout my head on repeat... THIS ALBUM !!
This.
Ditto, it's so good
THEY SAID I WAS LOSSST
Holy shit the layering and mixing of this track is fucking phenomenal. Synths sound so beautifully ethereal, I adore the drum mixing in this, especially towards the end, whatever they used to create that cymbal sound is crazy, almost sounds like static but I love it, harmonies are great as always. Can't wait for the album!
I think the end sound is a spinning firework like a ground bloom? Heavily processed of course
Damn that album delivered
Shawn Everett is the master of vibe
Love Molly's moves on 1:38 so cool!
first thing on the uzi album 😭😭
Every single song that has been dropped teasing Blue Rev is convincing me this album will be Alvvays' defining masterpiece.
Hard to top Antisocialites tho. I'm still processing this, but this song and Pomeranian Spinter are among their best songs to me already.
masterpiece confirmed. best record of the year.
Cuando saldrá el nuevo álbum?
1:45 alvvays give me chills
Dude I searched "Boys Alvvays Be Boys Memes" and typed the Alvvays cuz my VV keyboard key is broken, then this shovved up:
avvesome
"Archie, marry me" was the first song of this amazing band that I heard back in 2015. All of a sudden after many years, I remembered the song last week when I was feeling nostalgic for that era lol.
Both of their new tracks are great and I'm glad they're always experimenting!
Same here!! Feeling exactly the same
alvvays experimenting
looks like it was animated in a 90s video game. this is fucking awesome. so well done and original. the movements, the background stripes, all of it.
The background has to be a reference to the '87 "Max Headroom" tv broadcast signal hack, right?
It's just reverb/echo with a lot of overdubs. And I love it lol
One of the best Canadian groups ever
I talked to them few years ago... in Sackville... small venue... told them i though the were among the best in Canada already...after one album then!
Check out godspeed you black emperor
the BEST
new contract i read mine !
Insanely cool song insanely cool visuals fuck this is pure crack
True unadulterated creativity
MY favourite part of this video is the fact that if you scrub through the thumbnails on the timeline, the video looks kinda clear
I am so ready for this album, can’t wait to get my vinyl and shirt in the mail!
Vinyl died forty years ago. For proper 1980s vibe get a CD.
@@TinLeadHammer I'd argue CDs are more dead than vinyl these days lol (though saying any medium is "dead" is kinda stupid, anyways)
@@TinLeadHammer or maybe a cassette!
@@kijetesantakaluSokete Cassettes are completely pointless: there are no cassette decks to play them aside of some crappy Chinese boxes that use the same low-end mechanism. A record player is a much simpler device.
@@TinLeadHammer there's a lot of old cassette decks that are still in good condition for sale, at least on where I live. But yeah, if you're going for the value and accessibility, go for records but if you're going for the aesthetic, cassettes and CDs are the way to go.
This is just such a cool video. And the production of this song is really something, the vocal effects and different…technology(?) sounds layered overtop, just fantastic. For a band with such a uniquely identifiable sound, they’ve made a big departure here, and it’s really enjoyable.
they thought i was a dead guy
My love for this band is greater than I can even fathom.
Best track out of the four so far - memorable melody, great chord progressions, peculiar synths and novel audio processing. I would love to see what had gone on behind the scenes for this video.
That bass in the intro was undeniably delicious
Love the 8 bit sprites of the band, Sheridan drumming is level 9 boss.
Probably my favorite track in the entire album. It's like a Still Corners song in an Alvvays album, with nonsensical and barely understandable lyrics but such a moody melody. Gimme more.

Thank the gods this is here, in all honesty I could not make out a single word she said.
"Very Online Guy" Story about my life haha! Can't wait for this whole album to come out!
The vocal processing on the 2nd verse makes this song
Broo that bridge is so beautiful
I hope this is the future of popmusic
So addicting for some reason
thank you lil uzi vert 🗝🛸
This is how you layer a song kids.
Wow, this is a very unique band that writes and records amazing music! Thank you Alvvays!
Really nailed the pixel effect on this, amazing. Banger track too!
Does anybody else thinks just half second of Sheridan's funny dance in that cool shiny jacket is too short!?
Going to see Alvvays in concert this month! I hope to hear this song live.
love this song so much
this is pure ear candy. absolutely love it!
bro, it's kero kero bonito. I like it
Alvvays lyrics are always outstanding!
Nowadays music is devalued, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. THIS is music! thnx Alvvays.
My ears blessed, my eyes cursed
I love the melody and the effects, alvvays forever 😭❤
Instant classic
0:34 this melody
I like how the type of reverb/delay used on the vocals keep changing
Alvvays always never miss to amazed me.
This is absolutely incredible, so glad to discover this artist
While Pharmacist hitted me like a ton of bricks, this one is growing slowly but exponentially on me, I like it more with every listen!
0:28-0.35 just made me think of Napoleon Dynamite's crush in the movie. Spirit hands or whatever with the wave?! Lol
Looks like a lost Sega CD game. Love how this sounds and the overall style combined with the visuals.
Brilliant band. As soon as Molly’s voice comes in it all makes sense 👌🏼🤟
I wonder what this video would look like if we reduced the colour palette to 16 colours. I suspect it would look even more awesome.
I just woke up after a huge party, head hurts and stuff. THE BEST WAY TO START A DAY!!! Greetings from Russia, love you, guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just discovered them. Love their stuff.Totally into the nerdy keyboard player.
Looking forward to getting the 4k version of this someday (it's extra pixelly!)
It will be fun😊
I was shook, I didn’t know there was a music video this whole time!!!! This song is so catchy 🎉
Relationship ended with Sweet Trip, Alvvays is my favorite indie experimental shoegaze-ish band now
Who's sweet trip?
@@lose8447 great band with a shitty abusive frontman.
@@lose8447 don't worry about it
watching in 144p makes no difference lmaoo
love the song
One of the most enjoyable new song experiences I've had in a while, the timing of the lyrics, the effects, the collapsing and colliding waves of sound. Brilliance!
loved it! Easily one of, if not, their most experimental songs yet. Beautifully weird, I adore this band
Saw Alvvays earlier today in Philly, been a fan since the beginning. Keep going! I love your work, you guys never disappoint
Espero verlos pronto en Latinoamérica ❤️
vienen a Argentina en diciembre!!
Vengan a Chileeee
@@mwveliz Ya tienen fecha en Chileeee, es en el Fauna Primavera, aprovecha que creo que aún hay preventa
Amén, a México también 💜
@@Mankeke7 ohh graciasss no tenia idea wnnn que emocionnnn :,)))
I like it a lot. I wanna hear the extended version.
such a dreammy sounding track!
Saw Alvvays for the first time last Monday night at Red Rocks when they opened for The War on Drugs. Liked them a lot before seeing them live, but now I am hooked. Plan on seeing them at The Orange Peel in November. Good times!
I think I can see a Kraftwerk influence here
love it! its a mix between dream and chill waves!
Absolutely addicted this album right now. Especially this song and Many Mirros
Awesome!
Can't wait to see them live in Glasgow this year
Album of the year, no contest.
Seems to be a Texas Instrument TI-99a in the background
One of the computer I wish my parents might buy back in the days, when using the family' Sinclair ZX-81 !
Yeah, black and silver with the slot for a cartridge to the right of the keyboard. Definitely a very pixelated TI-99 4/a in the video. I've got one right next to me in fact.
Loving the early-90s full-motion video PC game aesthetic on this!
2:04 is my favorite part
This album is gonna be wicked nar, can't wait to get my vinyl copy
So good
i like this band
vocals sounds so huuuge!😍😍
So here for the evolution of this band. They made two perfect albums and it seems like they are working on a third
ALVVAYS 4 ALWAYS ♡
Can’t wait!! Love you guys!!😊
I think this is brilliant. My fav of the new songs
I can see this video better with my prescription eyeglasses off and to me that's kinda neat
Can't wait to here this live
I freaking love this song =D also the synths and the interlaced video made me forget this came out recently xD
New fav song in my life. I love you, Alvvays. ❤️❤️🌌💜🔥💕😍🌊
watching this after playing stardew valley will make you think your vision is permanently impaired
cant wait for the new album🥰🥰
I am severely addicted to this song.
Sweet Trip vibes
