every day i go through something that makes ne think about how bad my life is. the flaws that are always brought up in my life honestly tear me apart.... this song is what keeps me going
I swear every single one of his songs is perfect. Not a single bad song. His songs just hit me every time, whether I'm sad, happy, or whatever. He just gets it. He knows something we don't.
Actually, "Rave On" wasn't an original Buddy Holly song. It was originally written and recorded by Sonny West on the Atlantic label in the 1950s. Sounded like a jukebox sock hop song originally. Then Buddy Holly COVERED the song later the same year, I believe, and turned it into a Rock & Roll classic. Because Buddy Holly did such an amazing job with "Rave On," everybody thinks he wrote it, everybody gives him credit. But it was Sonny West, originally.
best damn video ive seen in a LONG LONG time... so creative..so good.. my stuff isnt professional like this but its good.. if you want .. checkout some of my videos..(seeds) (softly confined).. and then go throw all your tv's away in a pile on the road and go bike riding
This cover is atrocious. It's an insult to the memory of Buddy Holly. These people must have been on thorazine or something when they recorded it. They have got it all the life out of it!
buddy holly didn't even write that song. It'd be like complaining Dolly Parton's song "I will always love you" sucks because Whitney Houston did a cover of it.
I can't believe this is over 13 years old. This song is what got me to love M. Ward.
M. Ward is one of the most underrated artists alive. I think he likes it that way.
I signed in just to upvote this, i cant be alone in not being able to unhear it! haha
I wish I had gotten to see M. Ward in person. Love his work.. This vid is totally sweet.

bloody brilliant
Too bad they don't play music like this on the radio.
This song is now about Vince Vaughn's older, more fanciful brother Ray Vaughn.
You can't unhear it.
That comment is beautiful comedy poetry
all of his songs on here need automatic replays!!! should we start a petition?
that monsters of folk project is gonna be madness
quality songs by this amazing troubador

Buddy Holly is indeed alive and well. Rave On!!!
let me live inside this song all season long
This is a sweet cover. I dig.
it always makes me smile :)
first time i heard this song, their songs chilled all the time? kinda reminds me of a more upbeat kinda death cab. Good song!
My 2 good friends got married this last saturday.. this song was there first dance as a married couple... it was amazing.
I like this version and the original. They both bring different things to it.
By original you mean Sonny West's, right?
Me, too. It's difficult to reinterpret a song, but M. Ward nails it here. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music

Soothing.

An interesting cover but I still think Buddy Holly's is probably the finest pure rock and roll recording of all time.
How have I gone this long wihtout knowing it was a cover?! Now I need to listen to the original 😂

+PinkFloydrulez when you plug the tele-jack to the guitar while having high level of reverb on the Amp, that is what it sounds like.

Ariel Martin xD I guss you're rigth.

Great version but it's missing the rock n roll energy of the original
