It's defo his best album.....brilliant start to finish. So pleased to have finally seen him on that tour.....and laughed that his tour bus got a ticket (loading zone)
The Wissahickon is one of my favorite places in the world. So glad Kurt Vile is not just staying true to his Philly roots but also featuring the Wissahickon in this video.
Hi Austin, do you happen to know whereabouts in the Wiss these shots are taken, streets he is skating? Thanks! Loved my time in Philly visiting from the UK, it felt like England in its architecture. Can't wait to go back someday! Thank you for your help
@@fortyyards1397 they neighborhood is Mt Airy (hence the title). The school where he's skating is CW Henry, and I think the shots are taken right off of the Blue Bell Hill area.
I was thinking the same thing. He filmed the video in Carpenters Woods (Carpenter Lane @ Ellet Street)/ The Wissahickon and the school is definitely Henry. I recognize the schoolyard. The title "Mount Airy Hill" made me play close attention to the scenery. I grew up in Mount Airy. Nice to see it immortalized.
I must say, the 3 recent singles are getting me through what has turned out to be a very challenging year so far. These new songs are such a delight and a comfort... I'm getting some real On the Beach Neil Young vibes... the kind of music you just want to cruise and be mellow to, content, reflective, peaceful. Thank you.
Funny you say that because I’ve found the same, reminds me of the time in my life when I first heard Wild Imagination.. Happened to be a nice sunny day in England, good memories. His lyrics are simlar to the thoughts in my head, as I wander around.. nice soundtrack for not the easiest of times.
I went through a really difficult time in my life and couldn't find any comfort for anything until I found a mountain/cliff to just sit by and look out. I went there everyday and eventually I found healing. Ive moved since then, but the area it looked so much like the place in this video. Watching this made me tear up. Thank you, for the music but also for connecting me with some of those memories today. I appreciate all of it. ❤
this is the most KV song and video ever that it could almost be a parody. "but i was gone if you know what i mean" lmao... i appreciate this to the utmost degree. i'm loving every song released from the album so far.
I think this is the kind of music I would like at my funeral. It is very beautiful. This is magic. Like a rotating wheel of pure joy and sorrow. A spinning slowly around in the heart like a squirling whirling dervishish thang tango machine.
Kurt. Some of my favourite artists started with great albums and overtime they lost that magic. You started with great music that I still listen today, but, this music you just released is on another level. You somehow kept the magic that you had in the beginning and just made it stronger.
It's coming the autumn/winter season here in south hemisphere. Can't hardly wait to hear this on a bike ride in the sun w/ the cold air hittin my nose 😍
Every single off the new record has been absolutely incredible. I didn't think it couldn't get better than Hey Like a Child but this song is special: it's a song I've heard all my life and yet it just came out. If y'know... what I mean.
This song feels like walking through a forest in high summer, the sun glancing through the canopy, the dirt golden brown, the trees greenish orange, you can see dust floating in the beams of light, even the sweat on your brow feels good, right, and true. KV is a real blessing.
I saw Kurt's music described like floating around on a sun beam.. I believe this is right on it.. I feel nothing but peace around him.. I'm so glad to have run into a boy named Kurt Vile.. he's changed the way I see the world 🌈
My favorite description of Kurt Vile, which I think is somewhere in the comments of the Like Exploding Stones MV, is that he's a little singing Tibetan bowl that sprouted arms and legs and started strumming. LOL
Hey, I hope you are well. Do you happen to know the street(s) he is skating and where in the Wiss this was shot. Looks an amazing place. Thanks for your help, Matt, London, UK - Loved my time in Philly in 2008. Would love to go back someday soon.
Thank you so much for your kind reply. I've been to Philly and loved our time there, wish I knew abiut this area, looks amazing. Cam really see the English/European influence I the areas buildings. Thanks, Matt, London.
Sun Ra shirt represent 🙏. Kurt Vile is the most wholesome music I think I've ever encountered. So unbelievably wholesome. Its like a big, warm, loving hug.
Just listened to the Square Shells EP after listening to this one, and Kurt has always been such a journeyman musician in tune with his craft and his influences... His attitude is one of deep appreciation. For music. For community. For family. For being. His music exists somewhere in-between the gritty mortality of the world, and a comfortable dream world re-imagined and personalized. Perhaps, this is what gives some of his tunes a nostalgic and hopeful quality. Kurt's world is coming alive more and more with each new album, transforming from the lonely, wandering savant of Philadelphia to the beloved family man with collabs and projects under his belt (TWOD); it's a playful and cozy existence that's both inclusive and contagious. I really see him honing in onto his own self-assured wisdom with these new singles and videos, similar to the trajectory of Wakin' on a Pretty Daze. Will this album be another shelter (mansion) from the world's woes?
I’ve been listing to KV for some time now and I must say that his music just hits me so hard. Glad to know he’s out there doing his thing because I appreciate it.
He taught me how to relax again. He made me stop and realize what I already knew but forgot : There's still beauty in simple things like water moving through a creek or wind in the trees. Life is not all about fighting over politics, non-stop worry over the Deep State. We must take a break and have a real life and love or before it all ends.....and it will end. There really is nobody like Kurt -- he's Mr. Mellow. Not sure this was his intent for me/us/you, but it's how I was affected. .
Kurt's music really reminds me of an era when music was still pure/organic/real and came from the heart. this is why i dig the man and buy his records.
@@TwitchyCake - i miss the days when you could throw a dart and find something new, cool, & interesting. sadly - it's seemingly become much more rare to find these days over the past 10 years or so.
Best video ever!! That's me with the hats!!! Love everything from the Alligator chase, little E.T to the boom box in the street( i use to have one of those we called it a getto blaster) ❤❤❤
I was feeling down and came across this. Had no idea who Kurt Vile was. Clicked on the video and it instantly cheered me up. Thank you Kurt. You have a new fan.
Wow, when Kurt meets alligator Kurt (brother IRL?) and gives him back his alligator face and let him go on his way. That meant something. Be yourself and be not afraid y'all.
I heard this randomly on vinyl junkies yesterday and haven't stopped listening since. Never heard of Kurt but i'm addicted already. This song is unbelievably good
This is the Kurt Vilest video that Kurt Vile ever Kurt Viled.
You win the internet
so viley
That says it all. Great job Zak.
had to read it 3 times. true.
Close the comments.
Listen to Kurt when you're hurt...or when you're happy. Works either way.
He's in a league of his own, nobody else out there like him.
He certainly is. Big influence on my music :)
hell yeah

Yeah noone else can sing that shitty.
This entire album is a amazing. Kurt's free thought form of songwriting and playing is unique and nobody else can do it like him.

@@Mauruud Hey 👋 the Neil Young album is called ‘On the Beach’. Great album!
@@youngdylan5083 im gonna check it out. I hope i love it, best feeling in the world is finding a bunch of new music heh, thanks m8!

Always loved this episode of twin peaks.
Mt. Airy in the house
Kurt’s music always makes me feel warm and safe it’s like child hood and feeling the sun on my face or a nice drive at sunset
Kurt never fails to deliver the sweet sweet vibez. Also that ET patch on his shirt is a FLEX. Favorite song on the record so far!
he really doesn't miss, love that hes here while I'm here
@@jahlel.5291 absolutely
I saw the patch at the same time I read your comment. :-)
I think this is the kind of music I would like at my funeral. It is very beautiful. This is magic. Like a rotating wheel of pure joy and sorrow. A spinning slowly around in the heart like a squirling whirling dervishish thang tango machine.
KV is high on life - it’s very contagious when listening to his music. Awesome stuff
I love Kurt's laid back style.🎸
New Kurt Vile, a reason to be cheerful

I agree w/ u but the album Halo still the best. I miss Kurt's vibe from Halo's era so so much. Sorry about my English.
@@flightoftheshaman6785 ahhh yeah Halo is a masterpiece. I mean most of those first ones are. You're English is great 👍
It's coming the autumn/winter season here in south hemisphere. Can't hardly wait to hear this on a bike ride in the sun w/ the cold air hittin my nose 😍
Was not expecting that high note! I am so dang excited for this album to come out 💜

Just discovered this human less than a minute ago... immediately subbed. This is just....perfect. Everything about it, I feel so at peace!
Welcome! You’ve been “Vileolated!”
He’s got a great catalogue of music to enjoy. Definitely catch him live if you can.
Enjoy fellow human!
Same! I'm currently listening to him being interviewed on NPR. I'm hooked!
A walk in the Wiss, a steak at D'Allesandro's, a beer in Manayunk. That's a Sunday.
Steak at Chubbys. No line.
Hey, I hope you are well. Do you happen to know the street(s) he is skating and where in the Wiss this was shot. Looks an amazing place. Thanks for your help, Matt, London, UK - Loved my time in Philly in 2008. Would love to go back someday soon.
@@fortyyards1397 The streets look to be around the area known as Carpenter's Woods. The school yard scene is at the Charles W. Henry School.

this one made me touchy feely. I know I'll be nostalgically watching this video for the next 20 years. Well done Kurt.

Excellent comment, thank you.
Nice summary!
Very similar to his friend in The War On Drugs.
christ almighty you talk good bro, think good bro
This read like a Pitchfork review 😂
This is the record I love to play on the weekends on my record player in my den. It always makes me feel better 😌
Saw him live last night and this song (and every other) sounded SO good. He and the band are so talented! What a gift!
Thinking bout flying!

He be doing his thing and I’m here for it
Thank you musical gods 4 this.
I'll never be the same again.
So. So. Vile!
Thinkn about flyin ❤
kurt taught me a lot, im not sure what he taught me but it was a lot
He taught me how to relax again. He made me stop and realize what I already knew but forgot : There's still beauty in simple things like water moving through a creek or wind in the trees.

me too man. me too. @@lanier1000
Love to see Kurt experiment with his vocal range
Somehow, this came up on my fb and I can’t rid of it
Love the Sly Stallone as Rocky scowl accompanying the "Going down"..
I can’t describe it but there is just something so beautiful about this song.
Sun Ra shirt !
Kurt doing Philly and PA proud.
Thank you sir. You're a mighty fine dude.
Intro gives early Beach House vibes! :) Cant wait for the full album.
1 of my top fav albums of the Covid era!!
Kurt just brings a gentleness to our lives that we all need.
this dude is just the best
For some reason I tear'd up, beautiful tune
Damn this album is good
I love how mellow and careless this sound is
Half the time he isn’t even rhyming to the song
He just vibin
I'm ashamed to say I hadn't heard of Vile before 'Wakin' but I've loved everything before, since, or including. What a talent
Real music.
I thought I was dreaming, turns out I was just really into a Kurt Vile song
KV’s sense of melody across all of these singles has been excellent
Some of my favourites so far
I have a feeling I'll be listening to these songs my whole life
well balanced music, poetry and inspiration ... no words to explain ... God Bless You ... keep singing and surprising us
My favorite off the album so far! Huge fan of all 3 songs that have dropped so far though, reminds me of Wakin on a pretty daze.
Almost crying. This is so good, and needed.
i was happy crying on the bus to this earlier
There are no words to express how cool this song is 🎶 🎸 😎
I'll take two of what he's taking. Love the Sun Ra t-shirt too ✌
MORE FROM THE MUSIC MAESTRO ! BRAVO, MR. VILE !
Thanks for making me cry. I needed that.
Kurt's music really reminds me of an era when music was still pure/organic/real and came from the heart. this is why i dig the man and buy his records.
Good take. Couldn't have said my feelings on it better
kinda odd to say that when this music is from the current era and feels pure/organic/real to you 🤔
@@TwitchyCake - i miss the days when you could throw a dart and find something new, cool, & interesting. sadly - it's seemingly become much more rare to find these days over the past 10 years or so.
Thanks for making good music. I am telling everyone, about you. Guitar man.
Literally my favorite person and this last album was amazing.
Kurt, you're a genius. Thank you so much.
gotta love Kurt
I love his facial expressions.
I can always count on KV's music to put me in a peaceful place.
Vilin' to this all sunny sunday! Keeps the glowy feeling inside.
thank you
god I love this. Pure magic
Kurt plays the guitar ... and he rocks most righteously
Best video ever!! That's me with the hats!!! Love everything from the Alligator chase, little E.T to the boom box in the street( i use to have one of those we called it a getto blaster) ❤❤❤
this song blows my mind!
The sound on this song is amazing. Reminds me of the good times.
Trust me. You’re not alone
Kurt,
I get what you said, this is the anthem for the new LP. Listened at least 20 times now. Love it! Can't wait to see y'all at in Norfolk soon!
kurt vile big skaterad fan
This album is going to be epic, thanks.
This guy has an awesome voice. This mount airy hill tune is the best hes done so far
The silly video and whimsical lyrics belie the emotional power contained in this song. The final minute shimmers.
You are a treasure, Kurt. 💥👍🏼✨😊🎨🤘🏼
Ed Templetons first board graphic! You have good taste sir. Love your music Kurt. Thank you
kurt is such an angel
He's got it figured out.
Nice Meow Wolf hat! Just visited all 3 of them

I was having an absolute shit day until I watched this. Thanks, Kurt.
Not even 9 AM and I'm having a great day thanks to this chill goofy video. Thanks KV!
I know I can’t wait for the album
All this time, I didn't realize Kurt had a face; I'm into it.
Love it. Love him. Looking forward to full album release. My go-to snowshoeing music!!
Being gone this is a perfect song for me. Thank you Kurt.
I heard this randomly on vinyl junkies yesterday and haven't stopped listening since. Never heard of Kurt but i'm addicted already. This song is unbelievably good
This video is like a big ol bowl of Gen X comfort food. ❤

Great song!
There is one legendary hat... 😂🤣 Way gone brah 🤙 Please never stop playing and singing your soothing songs. ❤
