+Von Milash The problem is. . a great song like this one has limited outlets to be heard. Independent stations. College radio. Hard to build a following anymore. Not like it used to be when clubs flourished in just about every city around. That's how I learned of Pete Yorn. Indy radio. Still. . artists will pursue their dreams. This song beats the crap on radio now by a long shot.
I found a CD in a Goodwill store, it was some music industry demo of promising songs of, I don’t remember, October 2003? And this was the only one on there that I actually liked. Ok 2006
I wish I could decipher what the subjects are in the report card Bird Dad holds up, mostly because this video is amazing and I'd love to see what subjects the creator made for Bird School.
this is a comment about looking for this song for the last few days, and finally finding it again. further context places me around the time of this videos release on cable television. cable television might even exist now - but no one knows for sure.
----- Ditto the comparison with Bowie and Bono... But Pete may have BOTH 'tricks' in the deck covered with his songwriting... He's at least as good as the other two--and he's a pretty fair arranger of his material, not to mention performer... Pete Yorn is the real deal..
Loved the song. But why did you have to make the video so emotionally disturbing?! Even though the teenage chick was just a fake bird. What she personified made me cry! As I saw so much of what she was portraying when I was a teenager! Being hopelessly lovesick over a guy that was out of her league and was never going to notice her, and getting hurt over it! Getting hurt in school due to losing interest in education because of a guy! Getting hurt at home by parents screaming at her over a failing report card! Being hurt and running away to nowhere! Waiting all kinds of weather conditions and looking around to see if the guy she wants is there. And then to break down and cry to see him be all affectionate with a pretty girl that's out of her league. And to go through all that hurting after wanting to be in that girl's place!
This song was so far ahead of its time that sadly it only has 21 thousand views. What a shame.

Awesome song! ^-^
This sounds like David Bowie, did you know that? Pete Yorn sounds like a beautiful mix between David Bowie and Bono from U2.
Very profound. I like it.
Bono Voce
This sounds nothing like Bowie..get your ears checked. It does sound like Bono, however.
9/5/2023...still works
Pete, you look like Ridge from Bold And The Beautful on the still of this video.
Great song.
Love it!!!
Little known fact: Dave Grohl played drums on this track.
But that wasn't Dave Grol in this video
Killer.
