I've listened to this song so many times but it hits the same every single time. It really is beautiful .
I'd say Surf Curse's early work, while very enjoyable, is very rudimentary surf punk music with a lot of distortion. I loved it as a teenager but a lot of their songs as I've grown old I've moved away from, I see them as very raw and not methodical expressions of emotion. Some where capsulated very well but others missed the mark. I've been listening to them for a while and gotten to see them grow and develop as artists. Freaks and Heathers are 2 songs that I don't think I will ever get over. I cherish them heavily and go back to them when ever im down or hurting. All around I love there work and their influences being bands like the Cure really show. Thanks for making the video though, keep up the good work. This a great video and had very high quality production done for a channel as small as yours. You've earned a subscriber.

Completely felt this. Their last two records especially Magic Hour, really reflect how much growth they’ve experienced in the last decade. All that said, much like yourself I play freaks, Im not making out with you, heathers, etc all the time! Just good music man. Thank you so much for the comment and sub, means a lot !!

I'm just saying this But it feels so good to see a black person reviewing indie music😭 like it just feels so good to see someone like me just sharing the same opinion. I know there's other reviewers out there but I also just love your editing style and the way you describe certain things

I really preciate that!! Definitely into creating a safe space for us to enjoy what we enjoy and not feel like its weird or off kilter. This comment made me smile fr, love ! 🤞🏿
Nice video. I wondered where their inspiration for Freaks came from. Seeing they do so many songs based off of shows and movies and books.
This is one of the best videos I've watched in a while, could also be the most underrated one. I hope the second part of that sentence gets old quickly.

Yeah it’s an early demo version that I used for copy right purposes (and I honestly kind of like it a little better than the studio version most days haha).Here’s a link for yah tho ! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKJ505SnnrDXo7w.htmlsi=aRFPwEQ3cYew_Urv

I think the demo version is better cause you can hear how young they were when they made this indie song that a couple years later would become a smash hit 🎸🎶
great video my dude
