Mat looks like a cute little penguin in this video I love it
Lol
Brian looks like he just got out of bed and Mat looks like he just came home from school 💕
considering the age gap and mat’s backpack i wouldn’t be surprised if this was the case
Not sure if it's hot outside because of how Brian's dressed or cool because of how Matt is dressed
+Poilkjmnb20 i'm assuming from the nice rosy hue covering Brain's entire body that it's probably pretty chilly
Brian stays hella hot so probably cold
I'm a sweater.
god damned new jersey people
Hot like a spicy chips
1:22 That girl is amazed and that guy she came with is like, 'oh great you can play the guitar, good for you'
dudes just moving to the music lol
Matt's back up vocals are so sweet sounding :) sweet like sugar
matt's background vocals in this make me so happy he's so cute oml
"my great great great great grandfather took something that did not belong to him and that is why today i have eagle in my veins i am part native american" fuck
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Is that a reference to defenders of the confederacy claiming to be partially Native American. Perhaps the something that didn’t belong to him is another human being?
@@johnkelly5152no, but the great great great great grandfather raping a native American woman
@@johnkelly5152no, but instead the grandfather r*ping a Native American woman, thus taking something that was not his
literally okay fuck everything about this is damn iconic. brians shorts, him not even wearing shoes, the confused two people there, mats long ass sleeves, christ i love my gay dads.
sighs deeply can we talk about matt? do you see him with his long fluffy flannel that reaches down his fingertips and the way he just thumps on that beatbox LIKE LOOK AT HIS HAND AND ARMS GO AT IT MY TINY PENGUIN SON YOU ARE TOO CUTE FOR THIS WORLD TOO PRECIOUS TOO PURE TRULY A CINNAMON ROLL
And then you realize, Matt's not playing an instrument. He's playing on HVAC ductwork. Perfect.
i love watching front bottoms acoustic performances because matt always drums on the most random objects
sure, Brian. but can we talk about how cute Matt looks in this?
RIGHTTTTTT
Karma Jade happy feet little nugget
3:37 my favorite part of the song that follows my mind everywhere 🤩
i love this band so much, and the lyrics are amazing, it is a freaking shame they arent extremely famous , they deserve it
Emily Papineau look at them go nowww! 🖤
mat uychich is so small and i will die for him
Matt is having so much fun there in the beginning 🙈 I love this
he changes the tune and so many god damn words but I love this song so much I guess that's what's cute about him, he can hardly remember his own lines
i am so happy right now
2 beautiful baby boys
Can we talk about how cute Matt was in the beginning and how great Brian was during the whole thing
his voice is so raw I love it
Love the old ver
It's so magical finding new bands like this
This is my favorite Front Bottoms Acoustic Alley
I live for these videos
I love this song. I've always wondered what the lyrics "But I was more like his wife" meant. I think it refers to domestic violence since he (the character of the song I mean) wants to hit his dad with a baseball bat (and I think that is irony in that in the US culture fathers and sons bond over sports, particularly baseball). Someone tell me if I am wrong
The1DGaga ik i'm like an entire year late but i think it's most likely in reference to domestic abuse yeah, both physical and the father figure being demanding of the son. but i've also always personally kind of tied it to sexual abuse as well? i just also feel there's a fair chance that's not what brian intended and the former is more likely.
This is a pretty valid reading of the song’s meaning.
Zerrin Chase no I think this song is heavily hinting at sexual assault. It has a lot of sexual references besides that and the whole thing about his great great grandfather raping a Native American only really makes sense in the scope of it being about sexual assault.
Very late here, but I have a personal take on this song thats different from what you guys said. First few times I heard it I loved it without really thinking. Just a few days ago I realized that I related to it alot. Growing up with divorced parents I lived with my dad, I did everything I could to make him happy and to make him feel better after divorce, military service & PTSD, raising kids etc. But a lot of times I would take on his problems too, I'd internalize his fears and biases. I'd let him blame me as a kid for spending money, leaving lights on, all that fun stuff parents remind you about. But I took all these as my fault and that I had to take the blame to make him feel better. I felt like if anything, he could vent to me and I could try to let them roll off me. But like I said, I internalized them and did everything to try to make him feel better since I thought everything was always horrible in life and always my fault.
When I went to college and he started dating, I was happy for him. When he got married to my now step mom and gave me a one-day notice, I sort of felt like this song. Like I spent my whole like trying to help him and make him feel better and understood and loved, and that while I had been emotionally manipulated just like he had done to my mom, she barely knew the kind of person he was nor had she provided support for him when he needed it. It was like she was like his "girlfriend" in that they'd never gone through anything difficult together whereas in some ways "I was more like his wife" because we had fights, we went through financial and emotional struggles together.
Just to clarify also, nothing sexual ever happened with me. That could also very well be what this song is about, but thats not why it spoke to me. Father - child relationships are difficult to quantify no matter what, and this one sort of spoke to me more than I realized on the first few listens. Just something to be said about raw, bitter anger and misunderstanding as children that can shape and influence our future realtionships and outlook on life.
@@victoriaheller574 damn that sucks I hope things start to look up soon
My favorite song. I'm sure a lot of people love the intro.
I love Matt
Matt is so adorable!
Mat is so pretty!

Happy Father's Day everyone lmao
lmao
A++ for Brian's stylish shorts
lyrics:
I have this dream that I am hitting my dad with a baseball bat
and he is screaming and crying for help.
And maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him than it ever did protecting myself
And I believe, yeah dad, no one is perfect
But I believe that you were pushing your luck
it just sucks it played out like this, A terrible movie none of the actors even gave a fuck.
But you look good tonight, girlfriend. Could I sleep in your bed? And when I crawl out in the morning, could I stay inside your head?
Cuz you were highschool, and I was just more like real life.
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend
but I was just more like his wife.
And it is okay, I will wear the makeup
I will do whatever he wants all night.
Cuz you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend
I was just more like his wife.
A long, long, long, long, long, long time ago my great great great great grandfather took something that did not belong to him.
And that is why today I have eagle in my veins, I am part Native American
and I am leaving as soon as I come, as soon as I come you will probably forget my name
And I hope I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car on the ride home, on the ride home.
But you look good tonight girlfriend can I sleep in your bed?
And when I crawl out in the morning, Could I stay inside of your head?
Cuz you were highschool, and I was just more like real life
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend. But I was just more like his wife
And it is okay, I will do the push-ups
I’ll do whatever he wants all night.
Cuz you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend. But I was just more like his wife.
More like real life
More like real life
More like real life
More like real, more like real, more like real, more like real
Cuz you were highschool, and I was just more like real life
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend
I was just more like his wife
And it is okay, I’ll wear the makeup, do the pushups
Whatever he wants all night
Cuz you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend
And I was just more like his wife, more like real life.
I love Matt's drumming
Matt is Awesome
his little sleeves omg
I really actually prefer this over the studio version. Not to say the other isn't amazing.
Are those Supersonic shorts on Brian? Whatta legend
That look that Brian gets from 1:21 to 1:25... a look any musician strives for.
This guys are awesome by the way, and I really like your channel Mr. Haun. Do you do this for fun or do bands pay you?
