@Adderon great comparison! I remember seeing the Motivation Music video back in 2005 or 2006. I thought Delta Spirit would be huge. There were so many of those early indie 2000s bands that couldn't figure out how to break out. The main difference with White Reaper is, theres not that many bands like them, compared to the rock rival indie boom of the early 2000s. Some people say, "they're generic." But that's over-simplify. They channel sounds from 70s power pop, 90s alternative and early 2000s bands on a way that they sound familiar, not generic. It reminds me of Free Energy's "Stuck on Nothing." Imo, that's one of the greatest power pop albums of the last 30 years. Yeah, Free Energy's follow-up album is missed in a big way. But i think they were also oversimplified as generic by music critics. It was misrepresented because of its familiarity with other great bands.
it's basically power-pop, which is a subgenre which has featured some of the catchiest, most satisfying rock music ever but for some strange reason hasn't produced tons of real big hits.
It’s because the production on power pop lacks an authenticity vibe. It’s slickly produced. Layered vocals, perfect harmonies. Imagine a late 70s Tom Petty production level, and I think they might resonate with more people.
What a hidden gem in this day and age, just two guitars keyboard, bass and drums..no computers, auto tune ect..it’s like the late 90’s early 2000’, back when we still had real music. Bands like these are hard to find over the past 15-20 years.
Whilst I agree with you here about music like this being hard to find today, I hate to burst your bubble, but auto tune is used on everything you listen to music wise. I used to record a ton, had 2 bands signed to some pretty big indie labels back in the early 2000’s. Every singer, band, and album uses auto tune. No one is ever 100% on pitch with their vocals unless you’re Celine Deon or Mariah Carrey, and even they use it. But Cher introduced using auto tune where they pitch the vocals up and down and gives that stupid effect that I assume you’re talking about. And plenty of bands back then also used computers to play backing tracks and click tracks to keep on time live. Just because you use these things doesn’t mean you’re not real musicians. Sorry for the long reply, no way to say it in a short sentence.
You don’t have to apologize for your response being long, just being asinine. I’m not talking about using auto tune to edit and produce the music. I’m referring to individual artist whom just use computers to generate their music. They provide the vocals there is no actual real music being played with their lyrics. Every song uses auto tune to some extent but a lot of modern music is just computer generated. You missed the point I was conveying.
Heard this on the radio. It seemed so familiar like an early 2000 classic. Looked it up to be shocked its from 2022 and less than 1M views. This song definitely deserves at least 10M its so good
God I LOVE playing my violin 🎻 to this masterpiece while it's blasted on my speakers 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇨🇦it has such a posh American/ Brit Canadian vibe and I'm so here for it!! My fiance loves it while we're driving through the western Oregon country side 🏳️🌈
Lyrics I took a walk back then I had a moment thinking how it's been Between you and me, my dear And we can make it for another year I guess maybe I don't care I wrote it in my diary And all my word is true I even tore out all the pages about you And now I pass 'em out To every stranger on the street that walks on by So I can move along And maybe sleep tonight without me wondering Why are things so complicated? Sensitive and intricate I can't wake up, now I'm feeling petty So I tore them all out And things are colder here Another night that I can walk into alone It makes so much sense The kind of weather you can feel it in your bones And now I'm cracking a smile To every stranger on the street that walks on by So I can move along I get to bed tonight without me wondering Why were things so complicated Sensitive and intricate I can't believe how long I've waited I can't believe how long I've waited I tore out all the pages I tore out all the pages I tore out all the pages I tore them all out I tore them all out I tore them all out
I'm early Gen X and this is a welcome bit of modern rock that will make it into my rotation while working out. I wish these guys the greatest of good fortune.
Mid gen x'er here myself (born in 78) and the first time I heard this song it made me think of Nirvana and early Blue album Weezer. Great fuckin cut for sure.
Been on replay since it dropped. Simply love listening to your stuff and it always gets me hyped, especially before gigs. Probably my favorite band right now. It’s got a perfect mix of tidiness and chaos, rawness with pop sensibility…to top it off you have the catchy melody and lyrics. Everything is on point. It all adds up to produce that classic, undeniable White Reaper energy. We’re all very lucky as rock fans to have such an awesome band around. A joy to hear and see a new song with accompanying video. Stoked for this album!
This song is so good I’m going to have it played at my funeral as my final statement. Which I hope is a long time from now, but whatever. God, what a song.
I turned 60 this past year. I guess I'm officially an old man now. I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Rush...among others. (Played drums in a band you've never heard of) Anyway... I fucking LOVE this song. There's something about the combination of musicianship, energy, and simplistically honest lyrics that shoots this song into that timeless universe of great songs. Also...harmonizing in rock songs is a lost and precious art. And when it's done well, it's a gift from the gods. Have I mentioned I fucking LOVE this song? I've listened to it 8 times in the past half hour. The energy reminds me a little of the The Romantics. It's also slightly reminiscent of Third Eye Blind. But it's definitely original. Fucking love this song.
The coolest thing is that I don't quite get why it's cool, it just is. Thanks to my local station 92.5 The River in Boston area for picking up on you guys, a very welcome addition to the scene!
Been hearing this on the radio. Been cranking it up. Couldn't for the life of me find the name/band. I went to my radio stations Playlist when I got home and went to the time frame and finally found it ! This brings back 2004-2007 high school year!
Oh.. HELL yeah!..... Absolutely love this band. I didn't even realize they had a new song out... was pleasantly surprised. The last album was so good, I was almost afraid to click on this, dreading that the new stuff wouldn't measure up ( like so many other bands lately, unfortunately). Well, sounds like my fears are totally unfounded! Wow, what a GREAT song.. If this is any indication, this new album might be even better .. 🙂 I can't wait

This band is criminally underrated.
100000000% agree with you
When you hear a song for the first time and you immediately love it
Exactly
Definitely
Exactlyyyyy I heard it on the radio for the first time and I had to find out the name of it
Why hasn't White Reaper broken into the top 40? It's criminal. Their mix of pop and rock is unheard of these days.
"Might Be Right" definitely broke pretty big, I've heard it in at least a couple public space mix soundtracks
They're like Delta Spirit, great songwriting but they're a rock band, not pop or trap or whatever's more popular these days

Love this. Late 90’s are due for a comeback
This gives me an early 2000s vibe, I love it
90s
@@zacharypage6164 I Kno right!? Garage is coming back
Best band in the cheap trick pop rock gendre
@mysticstrider late 90s early 00s MAXIMUM NO TAKE BACKS
If I may be precise it’s because they’re channeling Jimmy Eat World, New Politics and Cage the Elephant. It’s a wonderful sound !
White Reaper bringing us ACTUAL MUSIC in 2022 / 2023. 🤘
Gorgeous! Perfected alt sound and rockabilly song structure. Sheer perfection. 🤩

are we listening to the same song? there's so much autotune. I mean I love it & wouldn't change a thing, but it's definitely there.

Every time a new White Reaper song comes out, another classic is forged. This is no exception. Timeless. Well beyond their years. Thanks dudes!
U don’t decide when another classic is forged. I do
Hoy se estrenó una nueva canción :)
Well said brother.
When I first heard this song I had this impression it was from the late 90s or early 2000s. I had no idea how new it was!! Love it!! 🤘
Heard this on the radio. It seemed so familiar like an early 2000 classic. Looked it up to be shocked its from 2022 and less than 1M views. This song definitely deserves at least 10M its so good
We needed this so bad thank you
How did a song from 2023 capture the sound of 90's music so well??? Love this song. Can't wait to hear it live.
God I LOVE playing my violin 🎻 to this masterpiece while it's blasted on my speakers 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇨🇦it has such a posh American/ Brit Canadian vibe and I'm so here for it!!
My fiance loves it while we're driving through the western Oregon country side 🏳️🌈
Has a classic 70s power pop sound, ala Big Star! Great track!
My thoughts exactly!
Lyrics
I took a walk back then
I had a moment thinking how it's been
Between you and me, my dear
And we can make it for another year
I guess maybe I don't care
I wrote it in my diary
And all my word is true
I even tore out all the pages about you
And now I pass 'em out
To every stranger on the street that walks on by
So I can move along
And maybe sleep tonight without me wondering
Why are things so complicated?
Sensitive and intricate
I can't wake up, now I'm feeling petty
So I tore them all out
And things are colder here
Another night that I can walk into alone
It makes so much sense
The kind of weather you can feel it in your bones
And now I'm cracking a smile
To every stranger on the street that walks on by
So I can move along
I get to bed tonight without me wondering
Why were things so complicated
Sensitive and intricate
I can't believe how long I've waited
I can't believe how long I've waited
I tore out all the pages
I tore out all the pages
I tore out all the pages
I tore them all out
I tore them all out
I tore them all out
Heard this on the radio and immediately Shazammed it
DAYUM
Only 1.7k views?! Nah this song needs millions of views 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'm early Gen X and this is a welcome bit of modern rock that will make it into my rotation while working out. I wish these guys the greatest of good fortune.

I’ve been listening to this on repeat for almost 2 hours now
real
I’ve been going on 6 months on repeat
Listening to this on repeat too. Happy OCD, anyone else?
It’s like if Ok Go and Weezer had a little baby alt rock kid! 🙃❤️🤘🏻
Absolutely devastating ending to a tight and perfect pop song. I have missed this band.

Well said. Can't get enough of this song. LOVE. IT.♥️
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!🎉
Sounds like a natural progression from the last album! Super stoked for new material
The only ad I've been grateful for:
Taco Bell
🤘😌🤘
I can't wait for the whole album in January!
This song is so good I’m going to have it played at my funeral as my final statement. Which I hope is a long time from now, but whatever. God, what a song.
Everytime I hear some knob say Rock n Roll is dead I just direct them to White Reaper. 🤘🎸🤘
I found White Reaper in 2016 and each year they get better. They should be a household name
Power pop lives on ❤❤❤
Awesome song, glad you guys are back.
Underrated.
why are things so complicated. sensitive and intricata!
Reminds me of an early 2000s punk teenager movie
That's a delicious LP junior, welcome back!!!
I love this song💥👍♥️
Brooo. I just seen the advertisement video too this song, marking this date and time @ 12:56 AM February/12/2023. Beautiful song.
Might be right . Deserve love . Real long time . 1F , Among a few great hits . Criminally underrated band who actually sings
I can’t stop playing this song
same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same
Can’t believe I discovered this band through a store in the mall while buying something. So underrated
I’m forever grateful for tv music channels that lead me to this golden song
I found the same way on "Indie" channel
SAME
Just discovered this band and my god I can’t stop listening
This is exactly what I pictured these dudes to look like. Rock on!
I can’t believe how long I’ve waited this song!!
@White Reaper 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Thank you UA-cam algorithm for recommending this. Never heard of them. This song blew me away.
Key board guy is a vibe!
Just heard this song on the radio last weekend and I'm already obsessed
Same. Had to go to my radio stations website Playlist to get the name haha. I miss when they told u the name and band after the song
Absolutely loving the new single ❤ Really hope you guys can make it to Scotland when you're touring the new album ❤
Most underrated band.
The coolest thing is that I don't quite get why it's cool, it just is. Thanks to my local station 92.5 The River in Boston area for picking up on you guys, a very welcome addition to the scene!
This song definitely hits the spot. I never skip it when it comes on the radio.
Just instruments and talent. What a great band.
Recently heard this song on radio glad I found it
The best band in many years are finally back
LET’S GO!!!
Been hearing this on the radio. Been cranking it up. Couldn't for the life of me find the name/band. I went to my radio stations Playlist when I got home and went to the time frame and finally found it ! This brings back 2004-2007 high school year!
The sound and feel I get take me back to my teens. 90's 💙
Much Love~
This been stuck in my head for weeks.
I missed you guys so much 😭 ily
Why have I never heard this before. Wow new music that’s actually good ❤❤❤
I am convinced if Jimmy Eat World and Fountains of Wayne ever had a baby, White Reaper is it.
Just heard this on the radio…sick as hell
Instantly obsessed. The beginning of the song sounds so much like Eyes of Green by The Anyway Gang which I’m also obsessed with.
Modern masters of the power ballad!!...
their voice harmony is on point. damn
This one of the best songs of 2022.
This reminds me of when I first heard Fell in Love with a Girl by the White Stripes.
Yes, gentlemen. Y’all rule.👊🏼
Love love love the Jangly Garage Sound!
Makes my Old Broad Body want to jump up and dance!
Speaking as a child of the 60s, these guys are great rockers. Straight raw rock without lots of gimmicks. well done!
THEYRE BACK
Takes me back to the 90's.....sho this is good
I’m so beyond excited for this
I just can't stop listening to this song. 🔄
Iconic as always!! 🎉
My new favorite band.
I hope to hear this live one day!
Glad to see some classic power pop still being made!
Man, what a great song/melody. The harmony on the downs. Awesome.
💪💪💪
So vicious!!!!
this song healed me
Heard this song on the radio today..The band kicks ass!!..continue success..🙏
It's on SiriusXM's Spectrum channel
You can hear them go from 80's to 90's to Early 00's rock all in a single chord..... its incredible
Just heard this on the radio and I love it!
Cant wait for the show in indy tomorrow! LFG!
Hey, that's Portland, Oregon! We don't completely suck after all.
These guys should be the biggest band in the world right now
I'm here from spotify.....soooo... all you original fans I can confirm they are blowing up
Good song!
this is wonderful, good job guys!
So stoked to see these dudes play Feb 19th in San Diego!
YEAH!!!
Yeah i fux with this
Oh.. HELL yeah!..... Absolutely love this band. I didn't even realize they had a new song out... was pleasantly surprised.
The last album was so good, I was almost afraid to click on this, dreading that the new stuff wouldn't measure up ( like so many other bands lately, unfortunately). Well, sounds like my fears are totally unfounded! Wow, what a GREAT song..
If this is any indication, this new album might be even better ..
🙂
I can't wait
