I hope someone responds to me, but i pay attention to his expressions and the look on his face, ya know sometimes when he sings he looks zoned out and manipulized
It's amazing how there's 3 minutes of playing the same chords over and over but you wouldn't necessarily know that from the way he's written the song so well.
Couldn't have said it better myself that's spot on mate. Unbelievable how three chords here keeps us yearning for more in a 4+ minute song. I covered Aphasia yesterday and would love it you guys checked it out! :-) Thank you and have a lovely day watch?v=cMPC0_pdSec
my left earbud died with the strum of the last chord. oh how i'll miss you, earbuds that i've had since middle school. i mixed all my music on you, and you died listening to what i love. five years young.
I'm writing a 20-25 page research paper on aphasia and like I just want to say thank you for making this song and titling it aphasia because it's truly relieving my stress
Is it just me or does he start feeling the song and get teary eyed, he changes his tone and sound super sad towards the end unlike the studio version, honestly this is the best version
this song is so fucking special to me. It was really weird because I got in a traumatic accident about a month ago and had to be sedated in the ER. They gave me a bunch of ketamine and I remember having this completely dissociative near-death trip thing where I was floating away from life on this earth as I knew it, but this song was playing start to finish in my K-hole. at the time, my relationship was falling apart and I realized I was losing someone i loved so deeply and didn’t quite know why. so my polo team was the only thing i had to keep me busy, but during a game in this huge tournament where I was playing the best i’d ever played, I fell and broke my arm super bad and h it my head. so it was pretty surreal, losing this girl i loved and losing the ability to do the other things that kept me sane-playing sports and school. after the hospital, like literally 2 weeks after, pinegrove was playing in sacramento so i went to go see them. i couldn’t figure out why the fuck this song had played very clearly in my k-hole. Then, I finally got sat down and kind of analyzed it. in my very biased opinion, Aphasia is this bittersweet anthem to moving on from a deep attachment (there are both references to a relationship and the idea of moving thru life quietly and blindly) and finding a deep peace. it’s introspective and wistful, but ultimately rejoices in the absurdity and impermanence of life and love. i’m so grateful this song exists because I didn’t think anyone could ever put words to all of these feelings i’ve been having. it’s helped me process my breakup and injuries better than my therapist has 😂
Wait a minute. I clicked on this video months ago thinking this was a cover of a song I had never heard of and have since added this song to a playlist on Spotify and listen to it all the time. Is this not a cover!? It’s an original!? Amazing. So lovely.
So satisfied I said a lot of things tonight So long aphasia and the ways it kept me hiding It's not so much exactly all the words I used It's more that I was somehow down to let them loose So complicated I cant wait to get explaining Your listening distended out since I've been crying So long aphasia and the ways it kept me hidden So long to silent nerves and hesitant oblivion You came and sent me out unfurling in the street And I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking Stick around I'm thinking things'll be alright Newly delivered wont you live with me tonight Something tonight was such a letdown on my pride It takes a part of me I don't got to take some things in stride I'd pace around the place so quiet in myself I'd wake the next and see my silence went unfelt Just when I thought I had this pattern sorted out Apparently my ventricles are full of doubt Now Nah things go wrong sometimes don't let it freak you out But if I don't have you by me then I'll go underground! Nah but what you've got was in your reaches all along Plus one day you'll be reaching for me and I'll be gone To help remind myself I wrote this little song One day I won't need your love One day I won't define myself by the one I'm thinking of And if one day I won't need it One day you won't need it
this song has helped me so much since I found it. I listen to it every single day like medication. it helps me realize how little the things I say matter but at the same time if I don't say what im thinking it makes a huge difference on my self. I think way too much and say way too little wich mostly is a good thing but I am super awkward around people and this song explains how I feel perfectly I have been trying to put it into words forever and I've looked up aphasia and that's not me but I think he's using that as a way to describe how he is not saying he has it but idk maybe. anyway I love pine Grove I heard this song in cardinal and fell in love and the way he sings and plays is mezmerizing you can SEE the feeling in his music. I hope you all find yourself. im definitely on the way. more than I was before I found this song. love you all (:
I'm also pretty terrible at explaining at myself. Pretty socially inept and that's why this song has also resonated with me :) But it's also a really beautiful and meditative song, which is why I loved it even before I knew what the words meant.
im slowly realizing he looks like my therapist whoa okay this is trippy this music calms down and therapy relieves stress and let's me rant this is cOOL I DIG IT
idk what it is, but one of my professors suffered from prosopagnosia (couldn't remember specific faces) , but despite being a quiet nobody she remmebered me for many years. somehow this song hits me and makes me think of the impact she had on my life :)
just gotta say im glad theres more female videographers and photographers for live music, i want to be a videographer when im an adult and this is beautiful you captured the softness of the song perfectly
Chris Mejia fstoppers.com/video/editorial-photography-it-still-mans-world-6793 i know this article about photography, but it truly is. i wasnt trying to say anything about how men are shit at videography or whatever but it just makes me happy to see that there are women videographers out there :-)

I'm 37 years old, am a huge fan of music... no ego attached, but have a very versatile knowledge of various music genres and about 2 months ago this became my favorite song ever. I'm in awe of the song writing, which I've never been that good at. Everything about this song is untraditional and that's what makes it shine. You can tell this is from the heart. If that ends up not being the case, please don't tell me, because I can't tell and I like where my music life is at the moment. Thank you for this song and Old Friends.
You’re a national treasure bro. Up there with the likes of Jason Isbell. Your song writing is amazing beautiful relatable raw...thanks for making me a fan
Came across this video randomly late one night in 2017 and had never heard of this band... 5 years later and they are STILL my favourite band and have got me through some hard times, thank you :')
ficking kill me they were so good, I went to Birmingham and then to london, sounded beautiful live and the interactions with the crowd were great, they were delightful to chat to afterward also
Coming back again in Feb!! Coming to bham again too, absolute result I hadn't listened to them last time they were here but now I'm hooked on 'em so will definitely catch them this time
I thought i was stuck in my ways of favourite bands from 20 years ago... Thankyou for this amazing band giving me a new top 3 in the mix. Thinking Seven Mary Three meets Decembersists meets Built to Spill - thankyou for greatness!
This was the first song I ever listened to by Evan (pinegrove). I just went to see them live for the first time three days ago and they played this and I was so happy ❤️
This guy has 5000x the talent I wish I had lol. His voice is great This song hits deep for me too, pretty much encapsulates my whole world the past year
That’s because he records all of his vocals live in the studio. He does everything in one take and keeps it as a performance instead of trying to create the perfect vocal
