The lead guitar is flawless. The bass is flawless. The dummer perfect. The keyboard buried in the heaven of this "Lazy Eye." I was at a gas station in North Texas last night, close to Oklahoma. A sour young punk was in there working. 2:00 AM. For the heck of it, I asked him if he'd ever heard of Silversun Pickup. He didn't smile but said, "Man, 'Lazy Eye' is perfect. I love that band."
No, thanks for trying to tell me what I meant, but I said it right the first time. Nothing about this rocks. Great song, one of my favorite bands, but not rock.
The emotions this song makes me feel are like nothing before. It's a mix of knowing true love, extreme loss(specifically the happiness you once felt and can't find again), and pain from any sort of abuse. All this leads together to form a soothing inner peace.
Same, for me it's the feeling of youth and moving on from the comfort of childhood and adolescence into "the real world." Just very powerful, bittersweet, reminds me of nostalgic times as a kid and also saudade. Longing for memories that never were
this song is way harder to play on acoustic than electric, i noticed he omits a lot of the slides and hammer-ons with actual note plucking, and at the speed he is playing that is amazing
@@StanleyKubick1 this song imo is not simple to play. Iv been playing for thirty years and I'm not the best or the worst...and this song is difficult to get all the small shit he puts in.
I know everyone will say this is the easiest song in the world to play..but I had a hard time learning it also and Im not the best or worst guitar player in the world, average, started playing when I was about thirteen and I'm forty now...not sure if it was the tempo or what but I found it challenging so your not alone if you had a hard time learning it also..
@@StanleyKubick1 everyone is different though, not everyone who plays guitar finds it easy...some people it comes natural and others have to put in a lot of work
@@delilasloan8914 the way it's played is very intuitive to anyone who can play power chords. i'm an intermediate player at best and I find it incredibly easy. Don't take my word for it, check out his own tutorial on playing it. It's called "91X Riffs Lazy Eye"
It's an easy to play song, until you add the fills and the singing and the tempo and all the other stuff. The fact he can sing and play it so well at such a speed with all the intricacies on an acoustic guitar with such energy is like dam
Why why why has this not cracked 1,000,000 views? I am 826,297. Brilliant... Sad. ... Beautiful.... My world is more complete with this song in it.... Thank you all for creating this piece of art.
Silversun Pickups are freaking awesome! I don't like a lot of music live because they don't sound the same but this group sounds better live and acoustically. I could listen to them over and over.
I listen to this everyday just to feel that rage and love and quietness all at once and it feels like the first time everytime it plays. Can't get enough!
RU-vid commentors "lets make sure to find something to criticize on every video, even the most mundane detail about the editing". The day a video can be watched and just enjoyed without comments, the internet will have come full circle. Or the world will end. Either one..
I’ve been trying to learn this song on guitar for literally the last 10+ years and sing it at the same time. I can play the intro but I cannot play and sing as well as he does, with the passion he does. Hopefully one day
It's unbelievable how hearing this today took me back to that exact moment when I first listened to it & I'm still awestruck. My heart is pounding my emotions are raw. Everything about it is sexy & new. ❤
This song strips away everything ive tried to hide emotionally & throws it on the floor and stomps the hell out of it. And now I'm vulnerable & scared. I dont know if i should cry, scream, or just run away. Silversun pickups! What have you done to me?
