The Walkmen The Rat 

You need to see king gizzard and the lizard wizard, 2 drummers doing this in synchronization

That dude has some David Eric Grohl energy in this one...

You just beat me to that, only by a year

Dude is a human metronome. Fantastic live

right??

demanoth Damn.

@demanoth. Yeah really

What is this song about? Getting old? Breaking up?

both

I get chills from this song no matter what. Perfect melody, loud guitars freaking brilliant.

With a doubt

@@unscreened Cheers. Just noticed my mistake.

agreed...good solid 5 piece band goin for it...the drummer is total class btw...too many fills imo but still he's rockin hard on those tubs ^^

I genuinely believe this to be my favourite song of all time

@Patrick McKenna to be asking a favour

cool supportive nana

Wish Keith Moon had the chance to watch him playing the drums.. genius

It is very Stephen Morris from Joy Division days!

Too many of those memories! I must have made a thousand friends for just a few hours.

Reach out to them with the memory and catch up. I’ve lost enough people to know I wish I’d kept in touch more. “When I used to go out I’d know everyone I saw, now I go out alone, if I go out at all.”

@@bigpierreinnit4988 Sadly coincidental when you quote the lyric. Such is life now. Everyone moves on and that’s good I guess. I wonder if they’d even remember it with the same fondness. People hang on to moments that others do not.

For us it was a Dismemberment Plan tune, but I completely get it and understand.

@@jonathanbishop6996 you’ll wonder forever if you don’t find out for yourself.

You nailed it. Urgency. I have always gravitated to the bombast or propulsion in a song. This has frenetic urgency like no other of the era.

@@jb8280 totally agree with your statement, and just to let you know I thought what a great name for a band - Frenetic Urgency, and then I chuckled because I hate how people abbreviate modern band names like OMAM( Of Monsters and Men) etc., but their's would be FU!! Ha ha

@@jb8280 eespecially the drums! Utter chaos.

Nevermind the wave, just do your own thing. That's what music is all about.

Well put

Completely agree

Its one of my classics now. 15 years and I still haven't gotten enough of it.

There just needs to be a movie that features it and finally the world can appreciate it!!! They wouldn’t be OG’s like us tho!

Amen! I couldn't agree more, I feel like The Walkmen aren't as well known as they should be for how great of a band they are, I'm not even sure many people know their song "Heaven" is the theme song to the tv show How I met your mother, I was hooked the first time I heard this song ;)

@@TheProdigyAccordion lool nah they wouldn't

I remember sitting on the couch when this video first came out with my girlfriend and another couple- flipping through music videos. This video came on and all three said to change it. I couldn’t. I was hooked. I know the feeling. To this day still like the first time.

My kinda music plenty of depth 👍

Not too often this kind of energy and commitment make it to a recording, and it's what every band that has a heart tries for. Closest I have seen -- Afghan Whigs live "Debonair," -- on Conan O'Brien here on yew tewb. And also, Jawbox "Savory" on Letterman or Conan.

@@seanoneil277 Hey man, thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out soon. I've found some really good bands thanks to suggestions like yours. Appreciate you taking the time!

@@seanoneil277 Hey man, I just listened. Very strange vocals... not what you expect to accompany the music. Original and compelling. Thanks again!!

@@robertmcmanus9185 Which one did you think had "strange" vocals? Each of those songs is on a very good album worth listening to. Probably the best album either band ever did. Jawbox, a band from my hometown after I'd left my hometown, never saw them live. J Robbins from Jawbox later had a band called Burning Airlines, poor choice of name as the band debuted right around the time the Twin Towers were hit by airliner. Afghan Whigs - OH origins, like Devo or Pere Ubu or The Amps / The Breeders. Dulli apparently fascinated by soul singers of the 60s and 70s, almost like a Hall & Oates gone rock. But less "Philly Soul" and more like what you hear on Debonair. One internet resource you can use to find new music -- these days it's really a CF with so many ads, but they have album and band reviews, and for each artist or band there is a tab called "Related" and one called "Similar Artist" or "Similar Album." The website is allmusic dot com. Back in the early-mid 00s I found quite a few interesting bands through those similar or related tab lists.

Omg lol well at least you did

Fucking great, isn't it?

It's ok. Now that you know it, it will never leave your side.

I’m late to it too....beautiful , don’t know how I missed it.

Welcome.

I'd listen to the album Joy As An Act of Resistance by IDLES if i were you

Just got out of the Asbury Park show and, yup, third song

+lloyd armstrong twisted wheel - she's a weapon

lloyd armstrong haha weapon

"Absolute weapon of a tune"..now that's an epic use of words to describe a song! Totally unique word play, love it!

THAT, that IS the perfect description!

Great way to put it

me too! 🐮🍀🖤🎶

I'd completely forgotten about it and it was played during the credits of a series I was watching. My mind was blown and immediately googled "you've got a nerve..."

same here, i cannot believe i missed this, cuz it is exactly what i listened to back then (and oc still like

Me too. 😔.

welcome! this song is such a stand out, epic adventure. I just keep coming back to it.

I still only howl.

I scowl at the moon,a mix of scream and howl,then it looks at me perplexed and i just smile

This band gets no credits that it deserves. They are very underrated compared to their bunch of peers and comrades like The National. Though they have very. consistent and decent discography.

Davit beliashvili Totally agree

No, it's not. This song is almost 13 years old.

John Solo 13 years old precisely means that is from the past decade, 2000's

Nice try, but when "past decade" is used (properly), it refers to within the last ten years from that point. If you wish to refer to a specific decade you need to do that, i.e. 80s, 90, 00's. The 00s aren't any more "the past decade" than the 80s are. But yeah, great song.

AWESOME BROTHER, I LOVE HOW MUSIC CAN GET US THROUGH THE TUFFEST OF TIMES! I hope your in good spirits these mate...

Keep fighting man🙏✊I'm glad to hear

What is this song about? Getting old? Breaking up?

I can't explain, but I feel the same way man !

thats life man

What genre is it? I mean i know its guitar indie/rock and that but is there a specific one?

mrbtapir Just called it Rock Music, the end.

Pretty sure the song came out in 2004 lol

This entire record is amazing. Their overall catalog is one that does not disappoint, but the bar is set high on Bows and Arrows.

Also check out hamilton's new record he did with Rostam (of Vampire Weekend) - also very good.

Nicely put.

the drummer is in a new band with interpol's singer, lets see how that turns out

Muzz just released their debut album. Its pretty good check it out

more of a chill album

I thought it reminds me of Arcade Fire.

Foda de mais esse som

@@fernandobento1403 F-ck your comment.

"now i go out alone if i go out at all..." Cuts. Every. Time. Pure Genius.

So much anger. I love it!!!

same.

Same bro

Me too in 2024. This coming from a Radiohead fan for years, and to a lesser extent, a Muse fan.

Dude's in Fleet Foxes now which just makes both parties even cooler

omg!, everyone

I love u Vicky

Now I have a reason to play the drums!!!

Dude is working his a** off.

Vicky JM take a listen to Angela Surf City. Drums are awesome in that song too.

best bit awesome track fell in love with it the 1st time i heard it

lol pun for rat !😢😢😢

Only true fans and supporters know wassup

🗣 *What you mean ‘Television’, ‘Joy division’ ,’Gang of four’ ‘Bauhaus’ ‘The Modern lovers’ etc?* *The ‘Walkman’ are a great band live but an influence on ‘Interpol’ na…you’d have to travel to Manchester in the UK & what was going on in post punk!* *Cracking tune though!*

I'm familiar to all of those bands and I travelled a lot to Manchester in the 90s and yeah - you got a point, these were all influencial m8.

@@tyronewarren6662 Totally agree..Still think Joy Division are the main inspiration for most tho..Incomparable band.

Your opinion

They were all part of the NY scene with the Strokes, Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, etc. Great time for music.

@@MrShahid0072 of course it's their opinion but as much as I love the Strokes, The Walkmen has more depth. IMHO

@@Collins1118 perhaps but they don't have the tunes. Most of their songs are pretty boring and no have nothing going on when it comes to vocal melody.

@@MrShahid0072 I suppose it's just subjective. A matter of preference. I love both bands. Maybe I'm more emo than I realized:)

You have been blessed

what a way to go!!!!! R.I.P.

killer comment

Cheers, having a good laugh now. Hope you're fine though

Best comment ever... and I love Modern Lovers

Oh my God you nailed it. Road Runner has that same abandon and wildness. It's a rare sound.

Zex Nynex so true

Now that I study in the city, that happens to me when I visit my town

That or either being in a relationship with someone who’s a super jealous controlling person 😞 these lyrics resonate so much

Very Stephen Morris

@@rabmckirdy246 Copying the best then...Joy Division are my favourite band by a long long way.
