I remember seeing him busk in Powell, Montgomery, and Embarcadero stations some time between 2011-2013 (hard to remember exactly when, anymore). A barefoot, redheaded kid sitting on the dirty floor, he looked like all the other Haight Street runaway kids. But I remember him playing some improvised funny song about people he was seeing in the train station. I didn't have any cash on me and he wasn't very good (yet), but I remember thinking that it was great that this was a busker playing his own original songs. After he grew up and I found his music and I saw his face, I immediately recognized him as the Muni busker kid.
Henna tattoo has become one of my all time favorite songs and vidoes it's just weirdly beautiful and creatively relatable thank you for making this song to give me another song to go to when I need good vibes ✌️
Last true San Francisco musician. He's so close to his emotions and will use painful truth to push the narrative along. "Rolling blackouts in your heart gave you a henna tattoo and it's fading." That's real poetry right there. Something is weak in the love-force. The love disappears at unreliable moments. And this love didn't tattoo itself. It's a henna tattoo and it's fading. It looked pretty, but it's over. Time to inscribe something new. That pain of seeing someone fall out of love, so perfectly captured. It then boggles me how silly the video is for the song. He must really think of himself as a clown--like Pagliacci, or Kafka's Hunger Artist. He tortures himself for our amusement. I truly admire his ability to discard everything else. He has turned himself into a living vessel for his art. As someone who has failed in that path (but who believes in its importance), I feel more faith in humanity when I listen to Field Medic. Even though his latest songs suggest he is getting tired of this path, I appreciate everything he has done. His music is a true tattoo on my heart.
I really love this song by Field Medic! The video treatment is creative and fits perfectly. Fantastic job and thanks for writing such a great track! I have also added it to my Whiskey Child Records Spotify playlist ACOUSTIC GEMS! -Trey:)
so for all the new youtube ads that bands have been putting out, (thanks trump bucks!) this is the only one that i actually listened all the way thru. pickin up a heavy jose gonzalez vibe from this joint here, and that, is a very good thing.
Bah. Goodwill is a fucking corporation hiding behind weak ass contributions to society. He's more the physical form of all the love put into small thrift stores and the treasures one finds in them.
This was wonderful. I'm surprised at some of the negativity in these comments. This was a beautiful song and I found the video to be quite endearing. The simplicity of the lyrics honestly evokes the simplicity of our vulnerabilities. It doesn't take away from meaning, rather it shines a light directly on something so many people can relate with. Fantastic job, Field Medic. (Kev.
@@gardengobin do you remember where you saw that Kevin uses they/them? i think I've only run across people using he/him for Kevin and i want to make sure I'm using the correct pronouns!
Discovering field medic is like hearing a subway busker that you know should be playing stadiums.

Actual lo-fi is a recent discovery for the OP, I guess.
The one and only time I will actively search for a TH-cam ad. This song is crazy!
Club Paradise SAME
Same!!!!!!!
Same haha!
which ad was it?
same. glad this ad found me
This might be the most indie thing I've ever heard, watched, and enjoyed.
Word. Lol
😁
Funny enough too because it was first introduced to me through a sponsored recommended ad on TH-cam.
Facts
retro recordings, mullet, moustache, nail polish this guy could NOT be cooler
a folk-emo artist trying to make a rap music video.
brilliant.
That's what i thought w all the people standing around in the back... so sick
what a time to be alive
It’s such a vibe 🤘
Hipster mafia.
Quite freaky, if you ask me
the one day I turn on the radio on the way to work and I heard this and immediately fell in love ... new favorite thanks 88.1 wknc
Field Medic is soooo amazing. I love the song so much. What an excellent songwriter.
One does not simply play this song once without playing it at least 3 or 4 more times in a row.
*3 or 4 days in a row
Exactly
This just happened live on my stream lol
I listened to this like 6 times at work last night
Such a specific feeling to it.
Nostalgia, angst and honesty.
Henna tattoo has become one of my all time favorite songs and vidoes it's just weirdly beautiful and creatively relatable thank you for making this song to give me another song to go to when I need good vibes ✌️
If you think this song is good now, you should hear it live with the boom box BLASTING. Absolutely transcending experience.
Yess hes amazing live
the girls dance is so beautiful, this video is so sweet and simple. love it
elise what kind of dance would this be called? some sort of free style i like itt
Alot of it is ballet and then mixed with freeform.
this is extreme creative and original why isn’t this bigger
I wish I could unhear this song so I could listen to it again for the first time 💜💜
probably my favorite artist on RFC since the years of superheaven, pity sex, citizen, turnover, etc.
so beautiful :')
RFC? I love turnover so what is this?
@@mmaas117 Look at the name of the TH-cam channel that posted this video you're commenting on. There's your answer.
Pure art. Just beautiful
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard
This is an experience.
saw this man live, rocks the stage as if he's been there his whole life.
Saw this song pop up as an ad. Spent 15 minutes hunting it down. Really sweet song. Goofy video.
What ad was it?
What ad?
@@estebangarcia399 Keyword "as"
True artistry. Telling a story with notes alone
0:17 is this the spot where he did it to em?
1:15
It’s impossible to not love this
discovered this song from my roommates playing it on guitar and singing along. gets me every time

I love this video and song so much, been looking for something just like this for so long
I have seen this ad so many times for what feels like months. Not a bad song, I’ll often stop and listen, so thats a win.
so for all the new youtube ads that bands have been putting out, (thanks trump bucks!) this is the only one that i actually listened all the way thru.
pickin up a heavy jose gonzalez vibe from this joint here, and that, is a very good thing.
There's something so oddly beautiful about this song. I gotta say I'm hooked on you guys. Listened to all your stuff. I love it.
if the goodwill store was a person
Dang what did goodwill do 😅
lmao
Bah. Goodwill is a fucking corporation hiding behind weak ass contributions to society. He's more the physical form of all the love put into small thrift stores and the treasures one finds in them.
this is so platinum ily kev
Ok this is one of my all time fave vids…just after this first viewing.
i enjoy this a lot
This song is so unbelievably good. Absolutely love the songwriting
henNnAa tattOoOo and it's faAaAadin'
Damn I love this song so much.
Love this.
ive watched this at least 20 times
I have been listening to this song all day. It's so good.
Love the connection to Bad Suns, The Neighborhood and Hunny. Great song Field.
If Napoleon Dynamite, Clarissa Explains it All and Dashboard had a child with a mullet it as this song. I love it!
Today's music scene is lacking innovation and creativity. That's why it's great to see something like this. Super unique. Love it.
such a beautiful song dang
I wish this song was longer
The girls got moves
My fave song atm!! This video goes with it perfect & it oozes passion & creatively :-) 💖
