Your comment was one of those fabled moments where I was *literally* hearing those lyrics as I was scrolling and read your words. Upvoted you for your sorcery alone.
Pinegrove gives me a feeling I haven't had in years. After Her's passed away, I found myself gravitating back towards Pinegrove and Henry Jamison. Their voices, their music, the lyrics, everything. It all speaks something, some kind of pain and grief yet self peace and happiness that I could never put into words in times I can't go on anymore. Thank you, guys. You don't know that your music is powerful enough to keep someone alive. We love you!!!!!
"Old friends" and "New friends" have significantly changed the trajectory of my month. Such a fucking good band. All I wanna do is get stoned and listen to pinegrove in a forrest.
Hunter Billingsley Yeah actually, it's really funny. I've been watching Little Elephant for over a year and I think every session had been suggested to me except for the Pinegrove one, so I was really surprised when I saw it after seatching for New Friends.
The setting where they were recording this song is exactly how I imagine the song looks like whenever I picture it while hearing “Old friends” if this makes sense
I feel like the vocal melody is following a sorta gallop/shuffle rhythm that's maybe dragging just a little behind the beat. Gives the song an off kilter vibe.
does anyone think the E to A chord progression will EVER get old? i mean seriously i can't bring myself to writing an emo song without it. it's just too fucking perfect.
So weird I’m from PA and my town is called pine grove. School mascot is a cardinal. This was posted by Schuylkill sessions. And the county pine grove is in is called schuylkill county..
My friend Leah passed away a few months ago and I wish I saw her on a bus beforehand. I did see old friends, she brought so many people back together. Just miss her so much.
They don't get any better. I try and song write and end up with garbage, but Evan is mind boggling. He has an incredible talent and its a devastating shame if we don't hear more from him.
This is how I found pinegrove 7 years ago… why I learned guitar, why I love to sing… sure does make me feel so many things to pop back in and listen as I get older
The first song/video I heard/watched like five years ago. Since then I've listened to hours of their stuff and now I'm back here. Their early work is their best i am afraid to say as the bore I am. Will send my dad an email too since he don't pick up the phone anymore.

This is the first pinegrove thing my friend Suzanne sent me in 2016! They said they thought of me right away and they really nailed it. I'm really sad to hear that Zack is leaving, thanks for everything
UA-cam insisted I listen to this. Saw the name Schuylkill. Clicked, curious - I know this name. Internet checked band name, as song played. Internally screamed, JERSEY. Not disappointed. Glad to share a state with you. Great song.
Flew to NYC for the panorama festival yesterday, literally just to see Tame Impala and Pine Grove was the first act we watched. I can't believe I've never heard of them.
This needed lyrics and I had to. I've got this song on repeat for the past two days now.

I believe its "my steps iterate my shame." instead of "my step-sitter ate my shame." Now I cant stop hearing it your way though haha. Thanks for typing this up!
I love this song. The simplicity of this song amazes me because of the melody and lyrics are fucking sick. Keep up the good work you guys inspire me to write great music like this.
+Press1ToParty It's mostly E & A but I'd be more than happy if someone took out the guess work and helped me figure out these chord shapes he's rockin'.
+Press1ToParty when i play it i just bar E & A on the E String, and during the bridge he jumps up to single notes of B and C# at one point. I feel like for the acoustic version he shapes the chords a bit different.

"I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago

Hits me so fucking hard every time
Your comment was one of those fabled moments where I was *literally* hearing those lyrics as I was scrolling and read your words.
Upvoted you for your sorcery alone.
absolutely one of the best, hardest hitting lines.
@@jaerivus just happened to me too
AMEN
I always hear this lyric as “a funeral” finding out it’s actually “her funeral” makes it hit so much harder.
this song really has encouraged me to call my parents more often...and shamelessly adore my friends.
+kaitlin moen This comment alone is a life well lived :)
+Helen McG grinning ear to ear. so true.
Can I have your last name please?
Friends are bullshit
Almost every time I think about them.

Me too
Henry is great. Vermont represent!

Right on, man. Right of

his voice sounds so nostalgic... like greeting an old friend
Jason Mangantulao reminds me of decemberists
well he says his inspiration for songwriting is the flow and rhythms of the way people talk and conversate
@@CursedSportsEntertainment Just what I wanted to say!
I thought it was impossible to sound good using the drum sounds on a piano but apparently this man does what he wants and sounds good doing it
Not to be a jerk but that's a keyboard, not a piano

I've watch this at least 8 times....today.
+Little Elephant
I know this was 2 years ago but when are you guys doing a session with Pinegrove? (New Friends?)
Spencer McKay Good news, they've already done a session with Little Elephant! Did you happen to find it for yourself in the last month?
Hunter Billingsley Yeah actually, it's really funny. I've been watching Little Elephant for over a year and I think every session had been suggested to me except for the Pinegrove one, so I was really surprised when I saw it after seatching for New Friends.
Same...same...
awesome song
+runforcovertube hahah, i actually found these guys via jake from modern baseball.
+runforcovertube awesome record label
Thank you for signing these guys
yall really know how to find em
Beautiful songwriting
The setting where they were recording this song is exactly how I imagine the song looks like whenever I picture it while hearing “Old friends” if this makes sense
yo same, its wild
i love the weird pacing of this song
Exactly.
4/4? lol
I feel like the vocal melody is following a sorta gallop/shuffle rhythm that's maybe dragging just a little behind the beat. Gives the song an off kilter vibe.
evan says all of his melodies/ rhythms are just based on conversations or talking, which you can really hear. its sick
When I tell you I listen to this song once a day, I'm not joking.
Same, I’ve been absolutely obsessed with this song, and pinegrove as a whole, for so long now.
like a prescription
great pants, great song
one of my favorites.
Bailey Murphy Would you happen to know what pants those are?
does anyone think the E to A chord progression will EVER get old? i mean seriously i can't bring myself to writing an emo song without it. it's just too fucking perfect.
a I (E) to IV (A) change is almost where the music 'wants' to go.
the accuracy haha
It is objectively the happiest switch that can be made.
@joeis18 thats not true emotional objectivity does not exist in music nor most things
the colors in this video
pleasing and nostalgic
It's from the 1981 pallet
SO GOOD
this guy can freakin sing man
I dont know why but this is one of the most inspiring songs Ive ever heard. So damn good.
Pinegrove is just an amazing band. This is one of the songs that makes you so happy, but you cry at the same time.
Soo good.
I'm old...47 (don't believe it, my soul is like 15) love your music so much! don't stop!
amazing:)
So weird I’m from PA and my town is called pine grove. School mascot is a cardinal. This was posted by Schuylkill sessions. And the county pine grove is in is called schuylkill county..
Barnesville right here lol
I only started listening to these dudes like 2 months ago. Can’t get enough of them😪❤️
Same. Youtoobs algorithm blessed me with Amperland NY and I haven't been the same since!! Obsessed!
*I knew happiness when I saw this*
[ I just accidentally clicked this video in the recommendations but now I'm loving it ]
My friend Leah passed away a few months ago and I wish I saw her on a bus beforehand. I did see old friends, she brought so many people back together. Just miss her so much.
Litterally my new favorite band, i never thought i could melt so hard.
Are you still a fan
With a culture spinning, you've found your voice to sing. Life not to your liking but you made a happy ending. Thanks for singing your song.
this brought me to tears instantly honestly this music means so much
Man... These lyrics are SOOOO good... Like fuck.
I know man. Sheesh
Michael Callahan Jr. Dudes. For real. So good.
They don't get any better. I try and song write and end up with garbage, but Evan is mind boggling. He has an incredible talent and its a devastating shame if we don't hear more from him.
This is how I found pinegrove 7 years ago… why I learned guitar, why I love to sing… sure does make me feel so many things to pop back in and listen as I get older
I found this song and aphasia a week before Christmas. Pinegrove saved me. Music is magic.
fo real, this band gives me chills. I listened to this song seriously 30 times yesterday. deff buying the album
do u stilll listen in this ?
@@mojojojo33699 years later and i’m still listening - oh how time flies. This song feels like the summer of 2017
Seen these live tonight, we're great. One of the best bands I have seen.
This is my favorite pinegrove recording ever.
I like how they look at each other staying in sync. Such a great song, my goodness.
The first song/video I heard/watched like five years ago. Since then I've listened to hours of their stuff and now I'm back here. Their early work is their best i am afraid to say as the bore I am. Will send my dad an email too since he don't pick up the phone anymore.

Walking outside labyrinthine
Over cracks along under the trees
I know this town grounded in a compass
Cardinal landed in the dogwood
I keep going over it, over and over
My steps iterate my shame
How come every outcome is such a comedown?
Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
I kept saying I just wanted to see it
Saying, "What's wrong with that?"
Needle shaking out lines in the compass
Every outcome is such a comedown
I knew it when I saw it
So I did just what I wanted
So I go through with this
I knew happiness when I saw it
I saw your boyfriend at the port authority
It's a sort of fucked up place
Well, so I averted my stride on a quick one
He's coming back from going over to your place, huh?
I feel like I could forget about it
I feel like I can mellow out
I don't feel undone in a big way
There's nothing really bad to be upset about
But when I thought I was getting better
I woke up on the ground
An appointment, oh disappointment
A set back, oh another comedown
As if I needed a reminder
I do only what I wanna
So I go through with this
Walking out in the night-time springtime
Needling my way home
I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago
I saw some old friends at her funeral
My steps keep splitting my grief
Through these solipsistic moods
I should call my parents when I think of them
Should tell my friends when I love them
Maybe I should have gone out a bit more
And you guys are still in town
I got too caught up in my own shit
It's how every outcome is such a comedown
I knew it when I saw it
Oh, I did just what I wanted
So I go through with this
I knew happiness when I saw it
I saw it
Damn I've been listening since I was 20 eight years ago yall are stil so touching every time
i come back to this song so often. 🖤
This is the first pinegrove thing my friend Suzanne sent me in 2016! They said they thought of me right away and they really nailed it. I'm really sad to hear that Zack is leaving, thanks for everything
ua-cam.com/video/sSnfS2Ls2Hk/v-deo.html Cover song
What a wonderful song. It just goes so beautifully. It makes you stop feeling bad
just wanna stop by and say : the album is amazing.
You can see them age as the song goes on. Still one of the best performances I’ve seen.
why have I never heard this, what a cool sound. Dang.
i love how he can sing so well but also cant at the same time makes his voice sooo unique i love it
Lol
Jeez this song reminds me of Okinawa. I had it on repeat. Now everytime it pops up it transports me back to a whole different time of my life.
will forever be one of my favorite songs ever to exist
Always come back to this for clearing my head
u still comng back?
first time listening to this band. I'm in love
This is shot and cut so perfectly. Incredible session from both a music and production standpoint.
Felt like watching a song being created in a Wes Anderson song except, somehow somehow it kept its sincerity and showed a lot of heart. What a treat
UA-cam insisted I listen to this. Saw the name Schuylkill. Clicked, curious - I know this name. Internet checked band name, as song played. Internally screamed, JERSEY.
Not disappointed. Glad to share a state with you. Great song.
Also happy to not be the only person who noticed your great pants. I love how they coordinate with your guitar.
Actual Pine Grove, schuylkill county resident here. Came across this by random. Good job guys!
Can't believe this is almost to 200k views, feels like I've contributed about 25k by myself. Love PG
This is great! That voice fits the vibe perfectly.
Amazing song. Great video. Spectacular version, My favorite by far.
In perfect world this is what I would be daily... playing music outside under the trees... I knew happiness when I saw it
I would join that world
1:17 when someone asks if you and your friend wanna go get tacos and you look at your friend like yeah
LOL quality
Duuudddeee, that was legendary 😜😂
Love listening to music while I work and very few times do I stop to just listen to a song. This one stopped me in my tracks. I.love.this.song!!
I want his pants, & I also want to be in his pants.
i think he is gay
Purp Flop i don't think so, we shouldn't assume others sexualities
I high key hope he is. He always paints his nails purple. Im very much into that boy
I don't. Girl, contain yourself
And how exactly does that automatically make the dude gay? Get your head out of your ass.
for real: this version has extra magic in it
He reminds me of Ky in American Horror story “Murder House”...In the ABSOLUTE BEST way imaginable!! Love this so much!
this song absolutely kills me every time i hear it it’s so perfect
this song fffs me up in a good way
This is what first introduced me to Pinegrove. I really wish I’d written this.
Flew to NYC for the panorama festival yesterday, literally just to see Tame Impala and Pine Grove was the first act we watched. I can't believe I've never heard of them.
That song has got me through some very tough times
Love this! Huw Stephens on BBC R1, thank you xx
9 in evening, one of my friend told me about this song. Why I haven't heard it!? This is so fuckinh amazing. ❤
These guys needs to be huge. Period.
This needed lyrics and I had to. I've got this song on repeat for the past two days now. Please
correct anything that is wrong as I just went off what I could make out from the video.

Fuck this songwriting is so good, every pinegrove track captures such a specific mood. I love this band so much
Ya it’s so good. It’s basically talking over guitar but I love it.
Love this! Such talent! Raw and REAL!

Still in love with this song ^^
This is my favorite music video! I love it. So real and also he mentions my daughter's name. Lol!
this song just explains life
GEZZ! I've never loved "Lo-FI" so much! ...and the look on your face at 3:42-3:43 made me laugh. Great Job, I'm fan!
Still so in love with this band
I cry every time
This song is so great.
sounds great! can't wait for it to hit bandcamp/renumerative methods
Fucking blown away by this band
Totally love this man/band!!!!
Not to be dramatic or anything, but I think I’m in love with the singer.
ugh, i wish i could get the tab for this song
+Press1ToParty It's mostly E & A but I'd be more than happy if someone took out the guess work and helped me figure out these chord shapes he's rockin'.
aghostisaghost Yeah, I started to figure that out finally, but those chord shapes are something else.
+Press1ToParty when i play it i just bar E & A on the E String, and during the bridge he jumps up to single notes of B and C# at one point. I feel like for the acoustic version he shapes the chords a bit different.

I LOVE THIS
This is so wonderful
We’re all going to be okay

This song is too good
Wanna find out what kind of a casio is that? :)
Casio MT 520 (:
this is a great session! keep it up.
There is no reason why this song doesnt become a massive Indie Anthem
so much talent.
this is beautiful omg
This is fucking awesome. I'm new to Runforcover records, but they haven't ditched emo when it's as amazing at it's ever been.
Well done. I'm a fan of the calling the parents thing! :)
