The lyrics are actually funny once you know the meaning behind them. Eric wrote this as a joke about his wife's obsession with tennis player Roger Federer and her watching his games.
@@AvocadoAddict yeah, that explains why he's smiling his way through the song. And you're right about it being funny, as in: '..when he's playing all his games..'
This deserves soooo many more views!! I am honestly shocked it hasn’t reached the millions! It never gets old!! Definitely one of the most underrated songs imo😕✌️
Hello yall,I think Eric is legit. No he isn't paying me. I'm a 43 yr old has been. His music makes me feel young and promising. We need his music and love in this covid 19 world
My momma told me to keep my fri was close but my enemies closer .. all my friends became my enemies out of jealousy.. I love you and you should know who ya are
I used to clean international flights and every Saturday night Edelweiss flight 4 came in. As I was cleaning the plane I noticed they were playing this song and being really creeped out by it
Hubby and I (late 60s) met a band on a flight from Dublin to Oslo, so we invited them to stay with us for the one night they stayed in Oslo, and as a thank you to us, they sang this song a capella (and quite a few others), and later I heard it in the radio (in Norway), now I put it on when I am washing the floor because it makes me feel like dancing...(lol old dancing queens become like new)...and some times I wonder...were they here and I had no idea whom they where?..Never mind, love the song...lol
I heard this on the radio a long time ago and I have been looking for it everywhere, until it came on the radio for the second time right now today, I heard the lyrics and I searched it up, now I am very happy, I have found one of my favorite songs. This is very good, I absolutely love this, very, very good job!
Eric, please bring your incredible music (and face) up to Canada. Please? Pretty Please? (Victoria, BC, Canada needs your phenomenal soul and talent) See you soon.
I wish to see him at Stubbs BBQ in Austin, Texas on May 15. D: So far,my attempts are in vain. My mom is like "who is he?" and I tell her: "only the best singer in the entire world." Eric Hutchinson is so unappreciated. Sorry Eric. You have a lot of fans in this small town. :)
Me too. It's funny that I came here to leave a comment about how beautiful she is, and the first comment that came up was me, from TEN YEARS AGO. I don't care, I would still love to know who she is. There should be an IMDB for dancers/extras in music videos.
Found this song on Virgin Airlines heading to LA... Great Job Eric , play it at my shows often and people be like " what was that?" ... too bad no more Virgin .. Discovered lots of cool artist while flying.. I guess Branson got out just in time...stay creative..
I just saw you(the first time) on Conan tonight. I'm in Chi-town on business, but l live in Milwaukee... I'll see you at Turner Hall 6/21. I haven't heard music like yours in soooo long.
This song owes an immeasurable debt to the Cat Stevens penned song, 'Here Comes My Baby', made famous by The Tremeloes. I say that with a great deal of admiration for Hutchinson's song and style as it harkens back to a time when the singer/songwriter was properly revered.
a moment of silence for our fallen brothers in arms........now please rise and remove your hats for the National Anthem of the Friendzone, as performed by Eric Hutchinson.
I've seen this music video partially three or four times while watching the pre movie thing at the cinema. Finally broke down and came to see the full video and I'm not disappointed.
No one can say that they have ever not felt this way. At some point someone who was in love is now in pain. watching their once significant other watch their new partner. I'm glad Eric Hutchinson realized this and made a great song out of it. Way to go man. Great song.
I definitely agree that this video needed a storyline... since the song is telling a story already. I have been a fan of Eric for a long time and I do LOVE this song! :)
I have been listening to Eric Hutchison since I was like three and Im still listening to him still now and I'm 11 so I've been with him for a while I really love him. I also went to his easy street concert in phenix

It's amazing how he can do this, the lyrics are sad but the tempo is upbeat. He gives broken hearts something to dance too.
The lyrics are actually funny once you know the meaning behind them.

No worries this is the same tactic Latin music does with its own. Hate it

This deserves soooo many more views!! I am honestly shocked it hasn’t reached the millions! It never gets old!! Definitely one of the most underrated songs imo😕✌️
Its amazing how he can fight in the UFC, and still have time to write music! VERY Talented MAN!!
How does this song not have more views? It's so good. Very well written lyrically and it's so catchy.
Love Eric Hutchinson... I found him a few years ago and he became a favorite.
thanks jonathan! glad you like it.
Eric Hutchinson 8 years later and I still gind myself listening. I miss life.
Fr, finally someone comments about that in a polite manner. Bravooooooo. 👏 Jonathan, you're a Swell Kid. 🤣
@@erichutchinson I'm assuming are hehœl ok zzz ß
The happiness in this video distract from the unfortunate emotions in the song.
He played this at my University a couple years ago. He performs very well live also.
This is perfect. It gives the deep heartbreak of a guy in the lyrics, but the upbeat tempo of the smile he has to put on to hide it.
Sir this is about his wife watching tennis
lol it’s about his wife and how much she loves roger federer the tennis player
I love this song completely!
one of the greatest artists of our time and hes not very well known...tragedy.
This is my dream....dancing in a big room full of books and good-looking people while Eric Hutchinson plays to us!
It’s always so hard to like someone that likes someone else :/ the story of my life still love this song though

First heard this song on Grey's Anatomy. loved it

This is on the music track at the grocery store, shoppers always sing along with this song, we all sing it together in the isle.
Debbie David that honestly sounded beautiful to imagine and aww such a wholesome moment :)
5 years later......just heard it at the grocery store. :)
Haha that’s where I heard it the other day at my local store… I was like I forgot about this song
Do you all dance in the isles as well?
I work at Old Navy and this song comes on the radio about 10 times a day...and every time I hear it, I think of the same person.
Came from Grey's anatomy!! Beautiful 🖤
I heard this on the radio a long time ago and I have been looking for it everywhere, until it came on the radio for the second time right now today, I heard the lyrics and I searched it up, now I am very happy, I have found one of my favorite songs. This is very good, I absolutely love this, very, very good job!
I heard this song at a local Shells gas station. So it brought me here:) and i love the song.
this was ever one most meaningful and cute of "brought me here" what i heard
=)
Now I'm watching you stalk him...
lol - perfect! If I was on facebook, I'd give your comment a thumbs up. But, I'm not.
How is this song not bigger ?! Was everywhere here in New Zealand
Got this song FREE in itunes as their single of the week and love it!!
I love this song,43 yrold dude from worcester Massachusetts. Big fan
44 year old dude from Wareham Massachusetts. (right between Plymouth and the Cape.) Big fan too
Eric, please bring your incredible music (and face) up to Canada. Please? Pretty Please? (Victoria, BC, Canada needs your phenomenal soul and talent)
See you soon.
The girl in the little black dress is completely captivating. I love it. 😭
I wish to see him at Stubbs BBQ in Austin, Texas on May 15. D: So far,my attempts are in vain. My mom is like "who is he?"
and I tell her: "only the best singer in the entire world."
Eric Hutchinson is so unappreciated. Sorry Eric. You have a lot of fans in this small town. :)
How can this not have more views??
He's such a happy singer, even when he's talking about some depressing shit.. i.e. "Watching You Watch Him" and "Ok, It's Alright."
Do it. It's the best song you could ever sing at a school concert. Then tell everyone that Eric Hutchinson is a beast. :D good luck!
My work plays this song and I love it and idk why it's not so popular.
The Blonde Girl in Green Is the Main Character.
When I would listen to this song during High School I would always be mesmerized by her.
Me too. It's funny that I came here to leave a comment about how beautiful she is, and the first comment that came up was me, from TEN YEARS AGO. I don't care, I would still love to know who she is. There should be an IMDB for dancers/extras in music videos.
Ever since discovering song, I cannot stop playing it. And the lyrics always get me.
ikr. He looks happy in the video.
I can't stop watching this video.Eric Hutchinson you are ROCKING!!!!!!!
thanks naomy!
Eric Hutchinson welcome Eric
Hear this everyday at work can't believe it's That underated
I think the video matches the tempo and tone of the song. I think its a better video in this sense than a depressing slow moving one.
I truely love this video. I'm surprised there are not more views than there are...
Found this song on Virgin Airlines heading to LA... Great Job Eric , play it at my shows often and people be like " what was that?" ...
too bad no more Virgin .. Discovered lots of cool artist while flying.. I guess Branson got out just in time...stay creative..
Thanks, feels good to be respected for doing something good, and get it thrown in my face again but I'll live :) anyway I respect you too :D
Love it! Can't wait to see you in may!!
this song is such a toe tapper that if the video were to be depressing it would match the song much less than it does now.
This played on the overhead at my job 10 years ago and its still 🔥🔥
I heard this song when I worked in the store. I remembered most of the songs. This one was from 2014.
I just saw you(the first time) on Conan tonight. I'm in Chi-town on business, but l live in Milwaukee... I'll see you at Turner Hall 6/21. I haven't heard music like yours in soooo long.
Every time I listen to this I remember freshman year in high school
its smthn romantic, smthn makin ppl come closer to each other... n fresh sound! :*
It's so odd that a song that's meant to tell a sad story makes me feel so incredibly happy. I love it. Thanks Eric for being... you :)
Thank God for spotify ads. Glad I found this song.
so this is what you call raw talent, no auto tune nor naked people
This is great! The white girl in the black dress with the green belt was getin it!
This song takes me back to a good time in my life...
I'm creeping you creep him.
I hate the timing of when i heard this sing cause it summed up my life the past week or so
God only knows why you make such sad lyrics happy and upbeat, except you hate to see us cry
That blonde girl in the video freaking killed that dance. Can't stop watching it!
EH. I listen to this daily- thank you for creating one of my favorite songs ever!
The 'Paul Simon--ish' sound caught me quite off guard the first time I heard this in the background on somebody else's radio at work.
Very good tune.
This song owes an immeasurable debt to the Cat Stevens penned song, 'Here Comes My Baby', made famous by The Tremeloes. I say that with a great deal of admiration for Hutchinson's song and style as it harkens back to a time when the singer/songwriter was properly revered.
I WISH I WAS IN THIS VIDEOOOOOO!!!!!!! it looks so much fun!
Barely heard this song today and have played it 13 times ❤️❤️❤️ it's so relatable That's why I love it .
why does this have so FEW hits??? great song!
One of my favorite songs of all time. Eric, you are so talented!
Best song I have heard on the radio for years.
This Audio+Amazing video certifies that America's (definitely) Got Talent! _/\_
This song takes me back.
this deserves more views
why isn't he more famous?
a moment of silence for our fallen brothers in arms........now please rise and remove your hats for the National Anthem of the Friendzone, as performed by Eric Hutchinson.
Can't even explain. Perfect perfect perfect.
First time heard on radio,quickly Google it n found this video,absolutely amazing n uplifting!
Agreed.. It is a real "feel good song".. :-)
I get a feeling that this song is kind of old fashioned, like in the 60's just modernised.
I love this video so much! The sound is so unique and special compared to most of the music on the radio. This will definitely be one I'll remember!!
How could you not love him?!
It’s so sad. But yet so not😕😢🥳 my feelings are conflicted. I’m in a glass box of emotions ❤️❤️❤️.
I see this before the movie in the Santikos movie theaters. I just liked this song after 5 times of seeing it at the movies :D
Friendzone, no one can escape.
I saw it in the morning too, so good to wake up to btw =) Good words too. I agree.
Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only person who sees it.
This song is about a dude watching a girl he loves from a distance, but the video he’s so happy lol
I've seen this music video partially three or four times while watching the pre movie thing at the cinema. Finally broke down and came to see the full video and I'm not disappointed.
OMG!!!! That body roll from the guy in the white shirt at 1:02 was soooo great!!!!!
agreed! :)
Eric Hutchinson Glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed that!!!! LOL!!! Love your music!!!!!!
Eric Hutchinson I'm a huge fan of this I hear this at my job I wish I could do a song with you
Katria Howard The blonde girl throughout this video is waaaayyyy too into it lol
+Eric Hutchinson I love you so much!
Good! He is a great singer and artist. Happy that you know him too!
That tongue flick at :20. Swoon!
He's coming to SMSU on Thursday November 14th! Sooo Excited!!!
No one can say that they have ever not felt this way. At some point someone who was in love is now in pain. watching their once significant other watch their new partner. I'm glad Eric Hutchinson realized this and made a great song out of it. Way to go man. Great song.
That's the point. The video and tone of the song are trying to make something upbeat out of depressing subject matter.
I definitely agree that this video needed a storyline... since the song is telling a story already. I have been a fan of Eric for a long time and I do LOVE this song! :)
what a great song that almost no one has heard of!!
just seeing a small clip in a movie theater (advertisment).. and now i'm watching it everyday=P
.
God dang, he's waaay better live!
I'm seeing him on the 21st I AM SO EXCITED!
bloomingdales 59th street sux... they played this for the last 2 years, and it drives me nutz. good song at first.
I'LL MARRY YOU ANY DAY MR. ERIC HUTCHINSON.
I have been listening to Eric Hutchison since I was like three and Im still listening to him still now and I'm 11 so I've been with him for a while I really love him. I also went to his easy street concert in phenix
If Andrew Garfield got a 3rd Spider-Man movie, I would have loved for this to be in it
Heard this song in Burlington coat and factory and can't stop playing it....whhhhyyyy..Love it
Well he turns a sad experience into a happy rhythm you know?
Agreed. The lyrics sound more sad but it sounds upbeat and happy?
I just heard this walking at Home Goods …..love this song
