lyrics:
How’d I ever know you
Quite like I was told to?
Make sure you love each other nice now
Oh, I was hypnotized
Caught up in the northern lights
Driving around in circles
Singin’ hey now
What was that sound?
Lighting a match
Just to f-freak you out
Oo, then on the other side
I saw fifty yellow lines
Pushing up against the window
And with one almighty lightning strike
The Great Lake rose up behind
Said, “Baby, you best turn around”
So I went back
I went back to the shore
To follow Her pathway
Forevermore
Crushin’ the blades, great freight train
Make the wind go away
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Watch her do the twist again
And if she’s twisted up too tight
Let the dawn cut through the night
And if that day do slowly break
Make your way down to the lake - เพลง
Perfection. Longing, driving, feeling, nostalgic, familiar, believed every word and note, could loop this infinitely on a road trip.
Good Lord, I just heard this for the first time. Mesmerizing. I'm a 55-60 yr old dude who thought I had already seen the extent of rock genius. I was wrong.
idk about where you live but near where i live tickets for ratboys are only about $20 so definitely recommend seeing them live
Same here , 54 year old dude just discovered this amazing band!
only ratboys can make an 8.5min long song that feels like it goes by in a blink. love the new track. excited for RB2023!
This song is great, never thought my hometown would be the title of a cool song like this.
Loved the song, loved the video - and together they were amazing. Made my heart race... Really wonderful and memorable!
I was like 8 minutes?! Did they edit it wrong and loop it twice?! What a satisfying, strolling, fuzzed-out, pleasantly meandering jam of a friggin' song. This is just gorgeous. And I LOVE the lo-fi video. Often I find videos to songs I like almost distracting, but the imagery here enhances the track. I can't say enough about it. Beautiful. And when are you fuggers coming back to Cleveland?!?!? Was it something we said?!? We miss youuuuu!!
It's very rare that my home state gets a shout out in a song, so the fact that a song shouting out my home state is so lovely makes my heart so happy! ❤❤❤
Best song by this band
And here's the winner for Indie Rock Guitar Solo of the Year.
Love it!! Can’t wait for the new album.
Just discovered this band, amazing
this is the song that got me into ratboys and now i cant stop listening fr
You guys sound so good. Keep em comin. Looking forward to hearing this jam at the next Portland show.
I went to college in the driftless area of WI and the vibe of this song so perfectly represents the feeling you get being outside on a stormy day there. I listen to this song at least once a day and it has become my favorite backing track to jam guitar to.
Outstanding!
Was shocked when I played this on spotify without looking at the length, and that second verse just starts after a 5 minute guitar solo!
Acabo de escucharla en spotify y me voló la cabeza.
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Watch her do the twist again
And if she’s twisted up too tight
Let the dawn cut through the night 🌪🏆
I cannot say enough about your music, it hits my grove. The way your sound is paired with the storm chasers imagery is kind of mad genius. Many of us grew up during the birth of the Weather channel and Storm Chasers. This Gen Xer chic is hooked. keep it coming. Thank you!
This is fantastic, top to bottom
Holy mackerel, Ratboys. This is amazing
Just watched Twister a couple of weeks ago as well! This is great.
La escuché anoche en Reactor y super chido estoy aquí....saludos desde CDMX
Love this band. ❤️
An absolute powerhouse track
After being born, and now, retiring into Black Earth, WI I love this song. I probably would regardless, I just never would have found it. Play the Sylvie in Madison please.
I bet you and Built to Spill could make things happen...
Cool tune. love the guitar and vocals.
oh sweet i live like 20 mins from there.
Can't wait to hear this live
it is totally worth it...watched them live yesterday in Cologne (Germany)..strongly considering to gonna drive to Darmstadt next thursday to see them another time.
Sadly it was a small crowd. Good music like this rarely gets the audience it deserves.
Why these guys are so goooooooooooood
just know that dave freakin' kills the guitar on this track live. got to see them a couple times at SXSW and now have some rat fever (but the kind you'd actually want to have). new album will be sick! love this video, to
love the new tune! expect to see y'all chasing twisters on your next tour :)
Crazy Horse approves
Awesome
5:55 is when you won me over completely.
love that The Window came out august 25, 2023 (3:30)
Hey guys this randomly showed up in my suggested and I love it. I never heard of these guys before but this song just *hit* me right. Can you suggest other songs by this band that have the same kind of vibe or feel?
U should listen to their Birthday album
@@panjulpanjul123 yep definitely happy birthday ratboys, then go backwards from there, I think Printer's Devil is amazing too
I hope they will come back to japan again so bad...this song is very long but this is not bored at all. great!!
Song: called Black Earth, Wisconsin, an actual town that exists
Video: shows the Southwest, presumably Oklahoma
❤
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i hope that this is the only thing left for future civilisations to find
Dana Scully sighted!
Damn
🐀 ratboy season 🐀 ratboy season 🐀 ratboy season 🐀 ratboy season 🐀
The part starting at 4:57 is amazing, especially 5:50.
wowww teach me how to play this on guitar
first
worst
my name is eugene
I'm a rat lover
lfg
There are more advertisements in and around the song that just totally turns me off anymore. Won't bother you.
I expected a hard rock male vocal. Try it next time Ratboy
Real cool of @TH-cam to put an ad in the middle of the song
LMAO they just did this
Edit I'm taking credit for them not doing this in my most recent listen
