@@gsam3461 yeah thats not it. Their album Since I Left You literally has upwards of 3500 samples. Theres a huge difference between playing or singing over ONE sample (basically a backing track) and composing with samples. All the nuances of what can (or can't) be done with instruments or voices that you're trying to use now have to be found elsewhere. It's very tedious work since youre constantly listening to more and more new music for inspiration, but the end result is this weird marriage of different musical periods forming something real instruments or voices by themselves could ever accomplish (not that its objectively better, but there is a lot of merit to this kind of art)

It makes me think of life, all the years behind me that I will never be able to get back, but also all the years ahead of me that I can look forward to.

Because, for me, it was utter heartbreak and it destroyed my 20s by marrying a woman who fell out of love with me... So, you were saying?? I'm going to assume you don't know what unrequited means, like most people, nor have actual experiences with love. F'ing sad bro...but You're probably young, so here's some advice for when you get the courage to speak to a real, live woman: don't bother and focus on yourself, First. Period.

What an awesome message, gentlemen, if a lady doesn't love you back, just put on your best pair of shoes because you're not gonna change yourself for her - "If she don't love me, what can I do? / Just put on my best pair of shoes / Because I'm me". I think shoes is a metaphor for your personality or the best version of yourself and if she doesn't love you for what you are, put a better pair of shoes and find another because you're you.

Wallace represents how Sonny feels on the inside when he tries to express his feelings to Becky - beneath Sonny's leather jacket you can see he wears a letter jacket similar to the green one Wallace is wearing. Despite sitting on the bench, calmly chewing a toothpick, inside, Sonny feels small and daunted by the challenge of talking to the assertive and commanding Becky. Wallace, his dancing, the band - all metaphors for Sonny baring his heart to Becky... and then getting shot down, deflated in the end, to go sit alone on the bench. Good song, nice vid.

This is so odd. I just found the song Want Ads the other month ago by accident and thought “god this is such a dope ass song, that’s begging to be sampled” then I heard this song and thought “what is that sample? I swear I’ve heard that before.” I didn’t even put two and two together before reading your comment.

I love when this comes up in my feed every few months and I discover again how perfect it is in so many ways.

Dude, got this song years ago and lost it on my old Spotify account, but watching GT made me remind it! Almost driving me crazy cos it ain't in any 'official' playlist. Gotta save it once again this hidden treasure!

I think this is the cutest thing that YT ever recommended to me.

Because she said, he's the one That thrill her charms Honey lets go wrong I just want to know! Whats, wrong with me Be in love with you... Yeaaaaah... 9th grade had the jingles of the swinging rainbow jacket Law slain go only Django Snap he accomplished That's where my props go That's where my pops went See my percentage is a pennant to the planet Knock it out the ball park, Frankie I should not tire this tire To a better love, let the wings spread It'll always come back, baby Come back, shellac black, baby A come back, flat black paint on a Chevy If she don't love me What can I do? Just put on my best pair of shoes Because, oh! I'm me Because, oh! I'm me Because, oh! I'm me Never mind my tone when I told Pretty Tony Listen to my tone, you ain't catchin' you a Tony Award-winning walk when you running with a shottie Why you running from us? Why you messing with us? We ain't got no guns, we just let the bears witness The Grizzly, maybe Polar You ain't ready, you ain't ready 'ready rolled up Pulling a machete, cut the bamboo paper And let's roll out baby I just want to know What's wrong with me?

Track is still flawless. Everything from the sample to the kid in the video.

The instrumental in this is beyond amazing. I grew up listening to a radio station called CKLW. Although the station was in Windsor, Canada it was known as "The Motor City Station". If I were to sum up the sound of Detroit in the early 1970's I would point to this tune.

this is just too cute, KZread recommendations really did a good job!

Never give up son, if she's meant to be yours, she will be

This song sealed it for me. The Avalanches are one of the most creative acts that I've seen in my lifetime and we're all lucky to have found them.

Man loves woman Woman doesn't love man back in her presence he feels like a child again But she wont pay him any attention He wants to show her how amazing he his / how strong he feels But he cant express himself properly because he's starstruck by her That's my interpretation of the video.
