Oh dear...I had SUCH a crush on this woman back in the 90's(well, her and Nina Gordon.) I lived in Chicago at the time and just had a waking dream that I'd bump into her somewhere on the Northside...probably in the Belmont area. This song so easily pinpoints a time and place when were were all young GenXers and we had no idea what to do in life. So, we existed, scoured record stores and somehow made ends meet. Exile in Guyville was a great soundtrack to that wee movie. Thanks, Liz!!!

It's cool that Matador decided to reissue the music videos from "Exile In Guyville" for the 25th Anniversary. They existed on UA-cam before, but only in really low-quality from random users. It's nice that there are HQ videos now when you search for Liz Phair and not just VHS type quality.
Daryn Wiseman - I suspect there will be so many 25th anniversary reissue / remastered in 2019 with 1994 being probably the greatest ever year for alternative
I remember having Exile in Guyville on cassette.. Listening to it reminds me of the long drives from Joplin, Mo. down route 66 to see a girl in Baxter Springs, Ks. in the mid 90's. I was 18 or 19 at the time. It was a 25-30 minute drive just listening to that first half of the album, and then the second half on the way back. Not a romantic album at all, but I romanticize the memory looking back! A really nice memory I have had to myself all these years.. The excitement of going to see my girl made it perfect!
So weird how I never knew this song or the artist Liz Fair back in the 1990s but this song is such a perfect slice of the 90s ! It takes me right back to my not misspent enough youth!
My hero!! I could - can so relate. As a female in financial planning I was definitely in guysville, still am. The whole album was my anthem. Love you Liz- I put my vote in at the R & R Hall of fame, you are a trendsetter! Australian Courtney Barnett carry’s your torch!
I saw her for the first time during my university days. I was 19 years old. I felt in love her by this video. I wanted to get married with her. But, Life was tough. Thank you for upload this video.
Well this takes me back to high school! I did and still do have a crush on Liz Phair. I'm glad we finally have a higher quality version of this music video. Classic song!
I'm primarily a heavy metal kind of guy in general but I certainly like and can appreciate a talented artist like her. I'd go see her if she came to town
The nineties were SO much better than the sixties. No Vietnam, no riots (after LA), no Soviet Union and nuclear war lurking around the corner. The 90s may have been the best decade ever in many ways.
Yup. This was what hooked me. I remember seeing this video on MTV and immediately falling bigtime for this vixen. Been crushing hard on Liz ever since then.
I interned at the place where they cut this video. Someone one time showed me some of the dailies. She actually married the editor who is a very nice guy.
gbluecheez This is actually from 1993, where she debut her iconic debut album, Exile In Guyville, so she's new at the time and it's released in the 1990s, and now she's been here for two decades.
All of a sudden this song made me sad. thinking back about how cool and fascinating the world seemed. Traveling to college towns and cities and to check out the bands there. And all the good bands and music that just kept coming and coming. Meeting cool girls that and developing crushes and turning a few into girlfriends. I don't think my kids world will be like that for them when they are in their early 20s' 😩
I couldn't agree with you more, or have said it any better my d**n self. These songs, and these videos especially, make me so sad, mainly because of how happy I was back then, how much better everything was back then, and that all of my Family were still alive during that Decade, too. I've never been more thankful, as I am now, and have been, during the last 4-5 years, to have had the luxury, and the privilege, to have spent my childhood during the 1980s, and my teen years throughout the 1990s. The music, though, throughout the 1990s, it just can't be beat.
Ah... Liz's wardrobe must have been by far the most expensive thing in the whole video! Still, so much more fun and personable than many a big budget video. Nice teaser for the Exile in Guyville reissue as well... works for me.
@@hogansavoy6525 spot on Hogan! When I was a young lad, redheads really disturbed me lol. My dad, who actually turned out to be way cooler than I thought he was lol had a major crush on Ann-Margret, Good taste too! As I think Ann and Shirley are two of the hottest redheads ever
This list is a little bit, dare i say, America-Centric.. not that I have any issue with America, there's a lot to love! So hear me out, back in the 90s before social media made the role of A&R redundant, the US was deprived of many of the great international musicians from that decade, particularly from across the pond and Europe in general, i.e Björk, Cocteau Twins, Portishesd, PJ Harvey, Neneh Cherry, Sia and even Kylie Minogue (lol) why? Because the gatekeepers back then manufactured the American market to be in a league of its own, while only they authorised the select few to "crack the US market".. Sure, you may very well be familiar with artists like Bjork today, but many Americans I know who are around my age, only really discovered a lot of these artists till much later.. their music careers just never quite took off in the way they should've.. the same is true with the EU, deprived of a lot of rnb / hip hop music from the states.. Growing up in Australia, we had the best of both worlds, we got all the American hip hop and rnb europe missed, and all the camp euro dance Brit pop, trip hop the US missed. Plus we has our own local scene. Aussie 90s alternative rock is a genre in itself . Kinda daggy and still a lil bit impressionable from outside influences..still keeping a dose of national identity with remincents of very Australiana blue collar rock of the 80s ..
I believe this video was filmed in Chicago at Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier where they have an indoor flower arboretum. At least I think that's where it is. It could also be the Garfield Park Conservatory.
i don't remember this song from the 90's & when i was a kid, but it was on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs Of The 90's not a bad song either. Supernova is cool too
Ahh yes, the famous Garfield Park Conservatory, the gardens are misty and mystical. Perfect backdrop for a Phair song? Yeah not so much. But I am happy with watching this over and over because of her and all the great memories of that place. She certainly captured a portion of the 90's Chicago woman zeitgeist that had emerged then.
Huh. Got recommended this by YT over the other Liz Phair songs I remember as a kid, but I actually heard this one occasionally on my local radio staton too. Never heard it played anywhere else. Not sure what to make of that...
She’s simply incredible. The coolest lady to ever pick up a guitar.
and her playing is great! So unique.
The 90's was such a good time!
They weren't? Didn't the '90s give birth to emo music, and had both Trent Reznor and Billy Corgan whining all over the place?
halo hunter but Trent and Billie made some of the best music of all time. Every pop punk / emo band of the 2000s era were just ripping off and regurgitating melodies and hooks from Dookie
wow you all remember the 90's??? ya'all defn needed better parties!!! Rock On!
We had everything and we didnt know
Pretty trash decade. But some people were into that.

@johnbharris I lived in Chicago at the time too. Saw her outside the Tower Records on Clark St. in Lincoln Park. 😍
@@acefaces YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!
I worshiped that store.

Thanks for posting this video.
Cruising in my new car, blasting this into a world filled with hope. I miss the 90s, sort of.
Liz Phair will forever and always be The First Lady- The Queen of 90s Indie🤎

Dont be one of the guys. Be yourself. Run from equality. its a trap
@@joshwalls9923 this song isn't something you will ever understand, Josh :(
It´s always such a sight for sore eyes just seeing Liz happy and smiling😍❤
she's like if cher from clueless had a cooler older sister
Or Alison Brie
More like a young twin of Sheryl Crow
@@duncan3998 not this comparison again🤡💁🏼♂️
Great observation! 👏
Nailed it
I like when song kicks even more butt at the part where she sings, "don't look at me sideways, don't even look me straight on...".
That's a great lyric.
I saw her for the first time during my university days. I was 19 years old. I felt in love her by this video. I wanted to get married with her. But, Life was tough. Thank you for upload this video.
Has it been 25 years, where has the time gone.
That's a great question!

I have now been a fan for 26 years. What a goddess.

Do the 90's seem like the 60's to anyone else? What a happyish time.
No. the 90's seem more like the 50's. What we're experiencing currenty seems like the '60's on crack.
@@meme-gg3xe You definitely didn’t live through the same 90s that I barely survived

I bought her tape back in the day and LOVED IT!!!!!!!!
One of the most 90s music videos Ive seen 😂 Love the 90s and Liz, so talented and gorgeous!! 😍😍
It's up there, for me slow dog by belly is as 90s as it gets
Oh, brilliant song! My new musical crush - I've only been into it three days.
Wait till you get to Funstyle.
@@shantanukhandkar Todd in the Shadows?
Liz Phair is the best thing to happen to Matador Records.
Guyville..what a record. Forver in my top 10. Love you Liz!
Mad crushin on this girl back in the day
Dont blame you
I just got a squire mustang as my first guitar and I didn’t even realize Liz played one but she’s like my biggest inspo
It's 2019 and I JUST got the cleverness of the wordplay in the title/chorus. Holy crap, Liz.
2024
Liz you have rocked my world for 20 years, and schooled us with brilliant song writing. Thank you!
Is she having fun?? I love her.
This album changed my life and I'm Male!
sonicgrub probably gay male
Thank you for the compliment but I can't take credit for such an accolade.
I am not gay but keep up the solid and flattering characterizations.
How'd you end up here tho?
congratulations, you're incridble
Gay
She rocks... she always says something... great lyrics and ripper guitar chords!!!!
She is probably my loved artist over the years. I love this song, it’s crazily catchy but her slightly cool understated vocals fit perfectly!
Brilliant
Goddamn she's awesome and what an album
Not seen this for an age !
I interned at the place where they cut this video. Someone one time showed me some of the dailies. She actually married the editor who is a very nice guy.
One of the best albums ever.. period.
She's beautiful
With videos like these I can almost hear the Beavis & Butthead commentary popping up in the corner! Haha!
This album was my 1993 soundtrack
I don’t think I saw this video before, but her great voice, so low, and those harmonies in this hook-filled track kept haunting today.
Her music saved my life.
29 years old and still a certified earworm!
definitely liking this new artist :) love the 90s aesthetic
Are you being meta here? :P

Nice teaser for the Exile in Guyville reissue as well... works for me.
Pitchfork has a double interview with Liz and Lindsey Jordan from Snail Mail, where they also talk about their approach to guitar!

OperationPhantom definitely the film and rented cameras used to create this footage was. Film was $$$$$$$$$$$$$
@@unchboy pretty sure it's Garfield Park ;)
I LOVE Liz Phair! I think we had a similar life.
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH IM SO HAPPY TO SEE IT IN SUCH HIGH QUALITY! THANK YOU MATADOR AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!
Amazing call. It feels great to see this in well deserved quality. Thanks a lot.
so classic so dedicated...
Real talent
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MY BELOVED QUEEN 👑! Liz is turning 56 today [Apr 17, 2023] 🎂🎁🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the remaster! Went looking for this video last month and all the copies were pixelated crap!
Man that takes me back. Such a beautiful woman, that Liz.
I was hoping this would be released about a month ago, thank you Matador Records!
I see you everywhere
@@Techdeckshawty ;)
Guyville Phair is the best Phair. She never quite captured this vibe again.
Sadly.
Liz Phair, Lauryn Hill, and, yes, Tori Amos are my three favorite female singers of the 90s. Talent is more important than genre.
Can't leave Shirley off that list.

not a bad song either. Supernova is cool too
I fell in love with this song on Napster.
This video and song are perfect we all know that part but this woman is beautiful. I can't not look in her eyes.
How is it that almost 30 years later I still have crush on her?
I’m with you. Saw her in LA in 96 and almost went back stage and embarrassed myself. Now I wish I had done it.
because this video's 30 years old?
Hot women are hot
I'm crushing right now.
I love her
and she’s super gorgeous ❤️❤️
Can I just give a shout out to Garfield Park Conservatory!
@Dominic Brady its like one of those diamond-in-the-rough situations.
This song had that early 90s vibe of Gen X optimism, I think its time it comes back...
Yup, I had a crush on Liz Phair back in the day
Can't believe this girl didn't become HUGE. I mean, she was on MTV a lot, but she never got quite as big as she should've, IMHO.
She was what we called a "fly honey" in the 90s 😘
This type of raw talent came so naturally back then. A lot of indie music today feels forced and lacks something I can't quite put my finger on..
Happy birthday Guyville!
popartclips its Anniversary
So brilliant at the time and still so relevant 25 years later. "It wasn't me, babe." Yeah, sure!
Só cool video and song
these my-so-called life soundtracks…..
I liked the part where she said "IIIIIIIIIIIII never said nothing"
That's funny shit!
Lol
Me too.
hahaha!!
lmao
Good ol 90s 😊
Thank you so much for releasing this in good quality!
holds up. so good.
Love you Liz. You still look amazing.
This video was shot at the Garfield Park Conservatory on the West Side of Chicago.
This is what talent looks like!!!
Liz is amazing!
What an amazing creature !!!

@@mattmccaw7924 Thanks for making that call, I wasn't sure! Look at those waves! No doubt, filmed on a Tuesday in April...
Ever notice this is the same progression as "my girl". I was playing along last night. Still a good song.

Well everything changed in 2003 when the world caught her eye with Why Can’t I
Craig Miller A change from an indie label (albeit one owned by Madonna) to a major label will do that for an artist.
She looks like a hot mean girl... Great tune!
