    Anyone who doesn't like this video, speed it up to 1.25x. Sounds excellent.

    I hope Art knows how much this time affected some of us. This came out when my parents started fighting. A year later, my mom packed the house and snuck us out in the middle of the night. He was on duty in the military. She took everything from my dad, because she couldn’t handle the guilt of realizing that it was all her fault. This shit still makes me cry and I’m almost 34 years old.

      Art, buddy, your first Everclear record is pure genius and one of my all time favorite alternative records but.....Please stop writing Santa Monica over again with different lyrics. You've lost that edgy appeal that makes your music special.

    I’ve listened to this version and the song in general many times and never put two and two together that the na na na na na na chorus is also how little kids tease each other.Art is a master song writer.grateful for his music🤟

    Look at all these wannabe's comments.
    The guy is 52 years old, I wanna see you put all your emotion on stage and give 100% at every show you play at, then have your voice be impeccable 30 years later.
    Idiots.

      These people don't realize this man shared with us a piece of art, and he is reinterpreting it 30 years later, as you said after giving 100% each show. Haters gonna hate, smh.

      and just give it up bitching about art's playing now. This man is an artist that we've been lucky to have in our lifetimes. Children of divorce can turn to a song like this and feel like somebody else out there just gets it. In a way that I've never felt understood before in my life.

    I don't know what people are talking about. It sounds great. Great tone in his voice. Soulful. He wrote some really great songs. I am listening on bose pc speakers that are awesome and i have it cranked full volume. I think if you are a musician grab your guitar and see if you can do a better version. You can't

    He doesn't sound bad this is just how good the song sounds when it's played without a backing band and electric guitars. It's a rock song it's meant to be written on an acoustic in your room and then accentuated with a band!! It's all about the song the voice and the chord progression baby!!! Check out the band Danny Fingers and the Thumbs on youtube

    He's not that bad, it's just that everyone is so used to him singing in another key.

    Art talks in interviews about how he just can't hit the notes he used to. He down tunes his guitar and plays them as bass as possible so he can harmonize.

    I dont want to hear you say that I will understand someday
    I dont want to hear you say you both have grown in a different way
    I dont want to meet your "friend" and I dont want to start over again
    Some days I hate everything, I hate everything.
    Everyone and every thing. Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now.
    I can barely ever think that lyric with out falling to tears. And the emotion he sings that section of the song with - if it doesn't seriously move you, I question if you are a flipping robot or something.

    Some are critical of this rendition, but I think he's muting the chords on the verse on purpose.

    Gotta figure out the chord progression he uses here because its lower than normal and perfect for my vocal range.

  • @smoothbeak

    Very deep sounding guitar, seems to be a standard tuning but detuned a bit?

    • @ianthemoon

    They just released a new album mate. I fucking love it. It's called Invisible Stars. BUY IT. haha. My favorite on the album was Jackie Robinson. But there isn't a bad song on that album.

  • @BigRyGuy04
    @BigRyGuy04 12 років тому +1

    I'm gonna have to agree. I love this song, but it sounds like he hasn't practiced it in a while. It's a simple song on guitar. (G D C D). Oh well, I still miss Everclear lol.
