heard these guys when i was playing RDR2 online with some friends. one of the guys was playing songs on his mic and one of the ladies requested this one. and man did i fall in love with this noise, its such a vibe!
I see what you mean, but I think the pacing and inflections are all so spot on for a Tom Waits impression I'd probably believe someone if they told me he was doing it intentionally.
I had the chance to see them, FOR FREE, in Grande Prairie.... I passed it off thinking 'ahh its all good' that's when I started really listening, and iv been kicking myself ever since, this band is genuinely good!, give them a shot listen to their music, enjoy it!
if any of you are around kingston, ON on saturday october 3rd, they're playing a show at The Underground on Queen's university campus!! Fully student run show and part of a university music festival, gonna be a wild time!
It's unprecedented. Leah and Peter are genius. So much innuendo, intelligence and such a sexy band. I remember Madonna with her virgin video and thinking wtf? This woman's really big on herself and why has she created a short film of herself lip synching? Some artists nailed it (Kate Bush of course) but most didn't until July Talk. Can't get enough of this band - wow!
It's so funny to me to read how many pictured a lumber jack singing, I first heard july talk on TH-cam so I knew what they looked like as I heard them and I can't picture anything different. Perfect they way they are and AMAZING live
Tell me I'm not the only one who pictured someone entirely different when first hearing the lead singer... My mind told me he would be a 6'7'' Lumberjack, kinda shocked O_o
These guys always have so much fun in their music videos. Love this band. So proud to have them being one of the many bands representing the great country of Canada.
I have to say... I have never listened to this song before... I heard a song by July Talk while looking for this song and was quite disappointed... I was hoping this song would not make me feel that way, since I was born in July and my name is Summer.... I may be bias, but this song rocks! Good job guys!
I discovered them thanks to Spotify! I was tired to listen to the same songs and albums so one day, i choose to listen randomly in popular releases music until.... 'Picturing Love' played! I remember saying: What? Who sings with that low pitch voice and a high pitch voice in the same song? And what about the chords, rythm? I fell in love with them and listen to all their song over and over again! Non stop!!!
I never thought of the Louis Armstrong connection, but once I read it I was like "shit yeah, that's dead on". I'm 60 and I can't stop listening to this group. They are awesome musicians!
I've seen them live and I just have to say they are freaking awsome! The sounds was amazing and Peter and Leah sing insanely good on stage! If you ever get the chance to see them live, go for it!
FUCKIN' AYE MAN!, Thank you for sharing. This kicks ass. The singers voice is way cool. Wasn't expecting what I heard. It's like a Tom waits that has mastered his voice early. How'd you find them?
I just saw JULY TALK at SXSW 2015 at Whole Foods. And I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM! I love Peter's voice and the sound of the band is GREAT! I cannot wait to see them again. Hope they come back to Austin, Texas soon. :-)
I think this is my fav July Talk song, I mean Paper Girl is awesome, and G+A is what got me into these guys and, wow, over 1/2 million hits on Paper Girl, these guys are going places ... whoo hoo !!!! :)
I know I'm late to this party but this song just came up on my Spotify discover weekly and WOW!!! I might piss some people off but I 1st thought Everlast was doing guest vocals on this till I looked up the video!!!
Peter makes amazing videos. This is one of his best yet. Please share it as much a possible. They are such an awesome band, especially live . I have experienced their live show 10 times. Absolutely Love July Talk!!! Go see them when they come to a city near you.
[Verse 1: Peter] HOO I ain't no man, go back to the king Tied up my suitcase, gonna see what trouble brings All the sheep are black, said I ain't convinced Took a trip to the smoke, and she hasn't been back since. HOO [Verse 2:Leah] Barely dressed, looking for love along the plateau The girls are young, a little dumb and they're going it alone My boys it's all the same tonight, you've got to make a choice No need to serenade her now, don't waste that pretty voice [Chorus: Peter] Yea but this is life we're living Life ain't always 'bout forgiving She's my lady in a summer dress This is life we're living Life ain't always bout forgiving [Verse 3: Peter] Up and to the station, I took her on back home I hadn't seen the bed in months but, I hadn't been alone I got pulled over, whiskey at my feet Bumped it to the hospital, blood came pouring out of me. HOO [Chorus: Peter and Leah] Yea but this is life we're living Life ain't always 'bout forgiving She's my lady in a summer dress The last thing that you'll see She come looking for me She come looking for me She gonna find me on the floor She'll find me on the floor And this is life we're living Life ain't always 'bout forgiving She's my lady in a summer dress She'll find me on the floor [x3]
One of the best Bands. Great band concept with dueling singers, delving into relationships and the differing views of both sexes in a relationship. Filled with feelings of worthlessness and greed, contradictions and great bed partners. I feel bad for ANY and EVERY human that doesn’t hear them the way I do. Their writing is great, and I love when a simple line delivered actually has differing meanings than intended. The backing band of Ian’s, Josh and …omfg -> Dannys drums!! Wow! Ian got some great guitar drops, the licks build the entire music up into a immovable beast…Josh knows how to roll the bass along like a train track, that Danny chugs! Fricking intense. Leah and Peter, just spitting words and yells! Leah shouldn’t fit, but it’s perfect! What else can you say about the voice…Peter. Damn that gravel is gonna do some damage to those vocal cords! They just have such a new sound to offer, solid pop songs, that ride on fat blues and rock sounds. Sooo good.
they were freaking incredible on last Tuesday but then again when are they not??? they seem to genuinely enjoy making music, which is AMAZING! :) hopefully they will play at least one gig during NXNE!
Absolutely instant love and download on iTunes.. just cant stop listening to this tune and others and watching this song :) Exactly what I was looking for new music!!
Why isn't this more popular? It's amazing!
Apparently God Canadian
Shawn Bordoff I resent that
Not simple enough. The masses need simplicity as dave grohl pointed out. July talk like a message in their songs. No room for messages these days
kroos39 ...and what a pity though, I can't help listening to it. :/
kroos39 this picture is clear in my head
never been prouder of being canadian
+Nick Smith The more you know!
Yeah, because you can say someone is proudest, therefore by default, prouder is a word, it's just less common.
He's from Edmonton and so am I!!
When I saw them live, Peter kept going on about how awesome our city was. It made me so happy.
Kiara Mackenzie holy shit same
The contact is perfect with his raspy voice and her smooth voice it just makes it lovely to hear
it's like a ying yang
Crystal and concrete ;)
Salty and sweet. the only other way i can describe it, is that it hurts so good
Leah and Peter have the best chemistry of any band I've seen
I just heard this song for the first time today on the radio. 2023.😂😊
What station 😂
I just flogged this to all South America, watch this become VERY popular
the scream at the beginning is my fav
jk it's all my fav, I love this song sm
Randomly thought about this song this morning. Still great in 2024.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I LOL everytime I hear that WHOOO!!
+Sleepless Group You seem a bit hyper, like a gathering of folks who are unable to slumber.
Can you reupload this in better quality? The audio is weird even at 1080p.
Im proud to be Canadian. We have the best music artists.
I heard this on CHOM in Montreal while avoiding work, and was like "Shazam app, tell me your secrets!" And here I am.
Same story there!!! Instant fan!
lol I was threatening my phone to listen. FASTer. it wasn't listening yet and the song's almost over!
same
Illustrated History of Life same exactly. Three years ago. We might have heard it at the same time haha
CHOM is the best
My God music has saved me from doing an ununforgiavble thing. Thank you for being a part of my life
LIFE AINT ALWAYS BOUT FORGIVIN
they played this song for me 3 nights ago ! 😭❤ i spent a whole day with Peter & Leah, it was the best!
WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE FINDING THESE GUYS?! they are waaaay too good to not be huge
MegaCheesePants1 You can thank my Canadian friend for bringing me here lol. F’king amazing.
heard these guys when i was playing RDR2 online with some friends. one of the guys was playing songs on his mic and one of the ladies requested this one. and man did i fall in love with this noise, its such a vibe!
I miss my brother who went to heaven and he loved this song he said that little guy with a big voice. This song is da bomb com
This is really cool. And If you're wondering where he got that vocal style from, check out Tom Waits, especially an album like Blue Valentine.
I think he sounds more like Louis Armstrong.
I see what you mean, but I think the pacing and inflections are all so spot on for a Tom Waits impression I'd probably believe someone if they told me he was doing it intentionally.
HaveCarapace oh Tom Waits ♥️
Sounds more lot like Mojo Nixon- certainly a Rock a Billy influence.
I had the chance to see them, FOR FREE, in Grande Prairie.... I passed it off thinking 'ahh its all good' that's when I started really listening, and iv been kicking myself ever since, this band is genuinely good!, give them a shot listen to their music, enjoy it!
Kinda unique blend, not for everyone, but it is beautiful music. These guys gonna be famous.
Saw them in Squamish and they were absolutely amazing! Completely blown away by their stage presence
July talk and Monster Truck. Makes a canuck proud !
Bring on the Jubilee...tickets are purchased ...HAPPY CANADA DAY 💥👊💥
I saw them and the Sam Roberts band live, and they are amazing
Both of those bands are on my must watch list for Osheaga!!!!
Were they at Bluesfest?
Halifax Canada Day is usually pretty sweet like that.
Where have you been all my life!!!
I had this song stuck in my head for at least a week. Who else?
Como eu não conheci essa banda antes????? OMG!
One of the best tunes I have heard
Was not expecting his voice when I first saw him. But amazing band, can't wait to see them next month!
My new obsession. So glad I got to see them live at Alderney.
and that ladies and gents is how good music is performed!
if any of you are around kingston, ON on saturday october 3rd, they're playing a show at The Underground on Queen's university campus!! Fully student run show and part of a university music festival, gonna be a wild time!

It's so funny to me to read how many pictured a lumber jack singing, I first heard july talk on TH-cam so I knew what they looked like as I heard them and I can't picture anything different. Perfect they way they are and AMAZING live
My first thought was Billy from IT Got hit with puberty like a bus! XD
Tell me I'm not the only one who pictured someone entirely different when first hearing the lead singer... My mind told me he would be a 6'7'' Lumberjack, kinda shocked O_o
+Jesse Kinch I EXACTLY pictured a lumberjack. I'm in shock.
+Jesse Kinch I pictured a biker, and a lady biker.
+Jesse Kinch Pictured a 50-year-old black guy who was singing Blues/Rock in the 70s out of New Orleans. LOL
+Jesse Kinch I think most people pictured the drummer.
Yeah my sentiments exactly. I was expecting a mammoth of a man with a huge beard. And I'm still not convinced it's not
These guys always have so much fun in their music videos. Love this band. So proud to have them being one of the many bands representing the great country of Canada.

I fell in love with them and listen to all their song over and over again! Non stop!!!
They opened for Zoe and Metric this weekend and they definitely stoled the show!! I love them!
It's like Louis Armstrong's voice had Steve Buscemi's love child.
+offwithurhead I can't imagine a more accurate description
I never thought of the Louis Armstrong connection, but once I read it I was like "shit yeah, that's dead on". I'm 60 and I can't stop listening to this group. They are awesome musicians!
offwithurhead LOL
Damnit I will never not think that now!
Lmao
mosh pit generators...this band pulls the crowd in like magnets
They just keep getting better and better. Can't wait to see them twice this summer!
Just saw them in concert, they are even better live!
With the voice of Tom Waits and the looks of Steve Buscemi ... move over Justin Bieber we have a new Canadian heart throb
Wat
this is awesome
love this group
great sounds, great voices
I've seen them live and I just have to say they are freaking awsome! The sounds was amazing and Peter and Leah sing insanely good on stage! If you ever get the chance to see them live, go for it!
Tom Waits support gig would be perfect. Love finding new music this good!
I love that my ears were able to experience this. Fantastic!
FUCKIN' AYE MAN!, Thank you for sharing. This kicks ass. The singers voice is way cool. Wasn't expecting what I heard. It's like a Tom waits that has mastered his voice early. How'd you find them?
I was watching The Following and heard a song that was intense. Searched to see who it was and found that this band makes great stuff.

They're bad ass LIVE!
This song sure warms up the coldest of winter days!

I heard this on Max FM in Orillia and loved it. Making my way through their channel now.
I wish they would come to Saskatoon...
They did earlier this winter
Jesse Webb A friend from Saskatoon just recommended them to me! They’re f’king amazing!
I'm seeing them this summer, and I only knew one song. So I searched up other songs, and I'm now in love. Can't wait for Rock The Shores.
I just saw JULY TALK at SXSW 2015 at Whole Foods. And I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM! I love Peter's voice and the sound of the band is GREAT! I cannot wait to see them again. Hope they come back to Austin, Texas soon. :-)
I like that you got a distinctly guy voice it is refreshing after so many years of ambigous voices, not that they are bad of course
I love both Peter and Leahs voice. Makes me so proud to be canadian. Also, everytime i watch Leah perform i feel like my dorkiness is not alone.
Old school, sound, canada brining it hard, them and alvvays
Going to see them August 1st :)
Whooo hoooo! 👌🏽👌🏽 amazing cavalier ✌🏼️🐝

So excited for the future of this band
Wow - Only just come across this group a couple of minutes ago accidently while viewing BIG WRECKS new video. Very refreshing and catchy. Great stuff
thats some rock n roll there!!!.
[Verse 1: Peter]
HOO
I ain't no man, go back to the king
Tied up my suitcase, gonna see what trouble brings
All the sheep are black, said I ain't convinced
Took a trip to the smoke, and she hasn't been back since. HOO
[Verse 2:Leah]
Barely dressed, looking for love along the plateau
The girls are young, a little dumb and they're going it alone
My boys it's all the same tonight, you've got to make a choice
No need to serenade her now, don't waste that pretty voice
[Chorus: Peter]
Yea but this is life we're living
Life ain't always 'bout forgiving
She's my lady in a summer dress
This is life we're living
Life ain't always bout forgiving
[Verse 3: Peter]
Up and to the station, I took her on back home
I hadn't seen the bed in months but, I hadn't been alone
I got pulled over, whiskey at my feet
Bumped it to the hospital, blood came pouring out of me. HOO
[Chorus: Peter and Leah]
Yea but this is life we're living
Life ain't always 'bout forgiving
She's my lady in a summer dress
The last thing that you'll see
She come looking for me
She come looking for me
She gonna find me on the floor
She'll find me on the floor
And this is life we're living
Life ain't always 'bout forgiving
She's my lady in a summer dress
She'll find me on the floor [x3]
Congratulations July! You've got an absolutely amazing dress!
I love them so much. I saw them live this passed summer, they bring the same energy live too

Hooked on this band, can't stop listening. Look forward to hear them live.
I really want to see them live!! It's sad I haven't since I'm only a couple hours away from them
they were freaking incredible on last Tuesday but then again when are they not??? they seem to genuinely enjoy making music, which is AMAZING! :) hopefully they will play at least one gig during NXNE!
Absolutely instant love and download on iTunes.. just cant stop listening to this tune and others and watching this song :) Exactly what I was looking for new music!!
