@@sunnyjim1355While that's true for the most part, she reminds me of Skeeter Davis and Lesley Gore. Though, I don't know whether they were exclusive to the 50s or not 🥲 (this is meant nicely.)
Why is she not more famous as a singer? She is so unique and uber talented. I have loved her ever since I heard her sing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" on the movie "Elf". She should be all over the radio channels. She is amazing!
People are talking about She & Him not getting all this recognition and how sad it is. Did you ever think, maybe it’s not for the world but very few souls living in a rare moment. How lucky you are to find it.

As a former concert producer, music business manager, and entertainment Website publisher, I am thoroughly impressed with Zooey and Matt's work on this album. Not only is Matt WAAAAAY talented, he's also the perfect compliment to Zooey's fun personality, equally brilliant stage presence, refreshing vocals, and heritage-infused melodies. Thanks to Merge/Domino for supporting this talented duo (and their band). I will certainly be buying this CD for my 9 yr. old daughter (errr...and myself!). -

you know i'm suprised that there are trolls on her music, I think she's actually talented with coming up with music that doesn't sound overly mainstream. Good stuff
They really are talented. I even hate listening to the live versions of songs but when it comes to she and him it's totally different, she has such a powerful voice
Can;t believe I’vecbeen listening to She & Him for 16 years already! Came acroos their CD - actual disc - in a coffee shop waiting for a friend’s cup of joe.
@c murray why come here at all when you don't like this kinda music? a person can be a fan of Phil Spector's productions and can also enjoy a bit of indie pop/folk. do yourself a favor and stop passing judgements on people without knowing anything about them, cause it won't get you very far. good day sir.
Her music is very diffrent from the main streams we hear today, it's unique and adorable just like her. She has a beauty that both female and male could find attractive. Most of all I love the music video, it goes well with the song=)
zooey is from super fame family.... good to see her doing shit other than movies. She gives free concerts here in L.A. all the time and donates the money to charity. Zooey is a goodness.
Great song. She's describing a pretty common situation which is straightforwardly explained by manosphere/redpill types. She's gotten involved with a man that she's really excited about, but she's wondering why their relationship seems to be a bit stalled, it isn't progressing into something more serious. It sounds like she hasn't met his friends ("It's not a secret; why do you keep it?" "Let's make it known ..."). She asks, why not turn this casual affair-since it seems like it's going so wonderfully-into something more serious, make a commitment to each other, maybe get married eventually. The answer to her musical question is that he has other girlfriends. Turns out that the things she finds exciting about him are also attractive to other women. Dude's getting a lot of milk for free.
You didn't mention the most important part - the reason he doesn't want to turn it into a serious commitment is because she's demonstrating that she's not worth committing to. A woman that is willing to sleep in your bed / have sex with you without being married to you (or even DATING you in this song!) is a terrible choice for a serious commitment.
I’m discovering all these musical artists now who were really active back around 2008. It’s a shame cause I was in my early 20’s and would’ve liked to see them live. Now I’m old, they’re old, and they won’t bother with the stress of coming to NYC if there’s not a big enough draw for the style of music here.

His name is Matt (M.) Ward. He is part of a supergroup called Monsters of Folk and is an exceptional artist. Zoo(ey) is talented and popular, but it would be hard to forget Matt if you are a musician or lover of all things folk. ;)
Great song. Love hearing Zooey Deschanel sing. She just sings the song nicely with a greta voice and doesn't need to make loads of weird noises to try and make it sound better, like other singers seem to do now. o.o The comments for this video are so pointless. -_- How many of the people who posted even listened to the song, and how many just came to write pointless crap somewhat related to Zooey Deschanel?

I love Zooey's voice! She sounds like a classic 50s singer.
I was thinking 70s in some parts.
....and I hope it was a good 13 years for you 😕
Nobody sang like this in the 50s. 😂
It's more 1960's tbh.

Can we talk about how underrated She & Him are? Love their work!!

Not as underrated as M. Ward is though
Like totally forgotten. Sad.

We could, but the word "underrated" tends to lead to overrated conversations.

Right? Stupid artists like Justin Biber and Miley Cyrus are getting tons of recognition but Zooey and her amazingly unique voice get almost no love.

It's the stuff MTV was made of. I just discovered these duo a moment ago on iTunes. Am glad to make a find.
Dude, this video is totally awesome. Plus, she can really sing.
this song is so good. I love Zooey's voice. Beautiful woman and voice.
Such a catchy little tune
their songs sound like it came from the 60s, WHICH is very refreshing to hear nowadays, even the arrangement is very quirky, and bucket loads of fun
I love zooeys sound..she and him, a very amazing band, boggled.
Every time she sings on New Girl I get giddy and kick my feet because she has the voice of an ANGEL!!!
I always felt like I’ve heard this song before, and I finally found the song from my childhood ❤
Gosh I love her personality!!!!
my friends tell me that she reminds them of me. its the absolute best compliment.
I FINALLY FOUND IT. YESSS
I love the Deschanels! Bones is my favorite tv show. Emily and Zooey both are very talented.
This is so 60's! LOVE IT.
Her voice is amazing and fits for how cute she is.
I swear it's a time machine back to early high school for me and I love it
I love this song.
I am just storing on a shelf :)
Can’t explain it but this reminds me of this childrens book I used to read
Recuerdos de mi juventud. Memories of my teen years
it's like a video straight out of the 80's. i love it hahaha!
It's more 1960s

Yeah, it is very 60's! All of their influences are from 50's, 60's and 70's. She & Him makes this bridge from here to there beautifully.
she is a wonderful inspiration, I was already in love with Zooey, (&sister) but i just found her music videos.....wow soo f**king pretty and confident
Queen of MPDG and i love her ❤
this song is sooo freakin badass
