@@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
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.
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
@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.
Lemme do an HD remaster of this video. Blow this 200p video up to 4K and keep the sharp pixels. A Pixel Remaster, if you will. (It's a Final Fantasy reference)
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.
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. 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 don't know why I never knew that Zooey sang in a band! I'm only just now finding this out! As if she couldn't be even more of a perfect relatable crush.
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.
@@kawaiilotusright, I was thinking 60s-70s, really.

Can we talk about how underrated She & Him are? Love their work!!
500 days od summer :)
Not as underrated as M. Ward is though
Like totally forgotten. Sad.
I wonder so
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.
i knew this was her

I got to get your presence
Let's make it known
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own
Why don't you sit right down and make me smile
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you end it?
Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf
zooey is the mother of twee pop and twee fashion!!!
Not to mention all the amazing twee martial arts!
I still remember getting ready for school in the summertime going to high school and they would play this on mtv in their morning playlist.
Ah the 60s...I remember them too.
@@somkeve You haven't heard the original song then. It's a remake.
Are you schizophrenic sir
She couldn't be more adorable.

She & Him started at the top, this is their 'Citizen Kane' musically speaking. A great song, beautifully arranged & produced.
Perfection !
That's a very, very poor analogy.

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.
Such a catchy little tune

She couldn't stop being cute if she tried
This song is so good, why it had been recorded with a potato?
Well it's better than nothing :P
Was recorded probably in 1080p resolution but was uploaded to youtube when the highest resolution for videos was 240p..
AHAHAHAHAAH
what are you saying about the quality of potato filming?!?!?!?!!?
zooey is way too beautiful for 240p take this down
I love this song.
I am just storing on a shelf :)
this song sounds great
Queen of MPDG and i love her ❤
I love the Deschanels! Bones is my favorite tv show. Emily and Zooey both are very talented.
✨💞 listening in 2020
Recuerdos de mi juventud. Memories of my teen years
zooey is always LOVEABLE !!!
very good vid!!! She and Him is one of the best thinks that is happening at this time!!! very good kind of music!!!
Budget for this video : Five Dollars
The Video itself : Priceless
my friends tell me that she reminds them of me. its the absolute best compliment.
eu nunca me canso desse vídeo! marcou minha adolescência!
zooey, m ward
Why do you have to be so amazing!?!?!
She's so adorable!
this song is sooo freakin badass
i love it
her voice is just classical/soothing yet familiar
great song
"Badass" really doesn't seem the best description.

Why that just appear for me 16 years later?
Fr
it's like a video straight out of the 80's. i love it hahaha!
It's more 1960s
i cant stop binge watching zooey's past videos help!!!
Saudades de assistir esse clipe no MTV Lab de manhãzinha antes de ir pra escola, lá nos idos de 2008 😍🥲
im just discovering this music now but wowee wowee
Saw this as a 13 year old on television I was like... how weird is this but I like it 😂 thought it was like the carpenters and all hahaha
Her voice is amazing and fits for how cute she is.
This song mean so much to me. And Zooey is just cute and lovable.
DIOS esa sonrisa esos ojos azules esa personalidad tan femenina y espectacular que mujer tan perfecta
jajajajaja otro enamorado!!! me mata sus ojos
+Chris Mendoza M Pensé que era el único enamorado de Zooey en pleno 2016 jajaja
16 years ago?!
This music is awesome!! Zoey is that hollywood actress right?? Too think she can make music like this is just unbelievable....
Holy smokes, I just can't get enough of this song. Like the seventeenth time I've replayed it this morning.
So soothing! Love it
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.
Zooey is so quirky. I love it. She's perfect.
Wow...I love Zooey and this is brilliant
Always 1 of our faves.
Lovely song!!!

eu te amo Zooey
She is such a girl everyone falls in love with.
Facts
And then she complains she's sitting on the shelf!
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.
If we go on like this there will be a nice list of all her films here.
This video is FANTASTIC!
It doesn't get much more indie hipster than this.
240p? Really? That's the best you could upload?!
When she says "all by my self" I hear "obama self"
omigosh!! same little birds as 500 days of summer you make my dreams come true scene!!!
this songs clip is so underrated tbh the song is kinda famous now but still ToT
I love how the dude walks up and sees her dead body and he's like "Uhh wtf?"
Good lord how is this 16 years old.
Pov you scrolled through the comments, checked the commenter's channel, and realize theyre all dead.
Love This!
Back here after at least 14 yrs! still lovin the sound!
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

She has a Tracy Ullman vibe to her!
I have a request... could my fellow fans of this song praise it without slagging off other artists?
I don't know why I never knew that Zooey sang in a band! I'm only just now finding this out!
As if she couldn't be even more of a perfect relatable crush.
this is like the best thing I've ever seen.
I remember her from Weeds... she was Andy's crazy stalker ex-girlfriend. She's so cute
She could stalk me any day..!
shes the reason i want bangs
OMG Same here!
Is it just me but this sounds like it'd be in adventure time
