I think I get what you mean. His voice may not be completely hitting every note perfectly, but it's unique, and wouldn't truly sound like his voice if it didn't have those little nicks in it. And it also makes the song what it is. It adds a lot of emotional quality to it.
NaughtyNickers his voice is awful in this video. he is barely hitting any notes. so you are saying if this recording was put on the actual album - instead of the perfect recording that probably took many, many takes to accomplish - you would enjoy? if you say yes you are 100% not giving a truthful answer.
Everything about this video is perfect. The camera feedback when he screams in the second verse, his falsettos, his Weezer shirt, and even how wobbly the low e string is when he his that e minor chord.
My girlfriend and I went to a show in the basement of a dirty VFW in Minneapolis to go see Seahaven with a bunch of openers we didn't know. While standing outside waiting for the doors to open, we look down the alley and see 3 people standing in an abandoned field. One was playing the trumpet but that's all we could hear. We didn't think much of it and proceeded to have our minds blown at the show. The way that this band captured the whole crowd of 50-75 people in a packed basement and held their attention was something I had not seen the likes of. 2 years later and I still re-watch this video and think about how much this band has influenced me.
you guys i just drarnk an entire bottle of wine in the shower and im back. i juist want someone to cuddle with :( i still love each and every one of you
One of the last memories I have with one of my best friends, tony… who left us in 2018… chilling at the playground at the elementary school we went to many years ago.. drinking wine and beer.. screaming this song at 3 am. Where’d you guys go? We’d love some new music. @foxing.
I wrote you a letter Asked your best friend to send it But took to the sea before you could have read it Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown Extracted my heart while it was still beating But glowing and red And I swear that sweat would Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it [Chorus:] I swear I'm a good man So why don't you love me back? Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest My head made a home for the hum of the insects But my hands shake and shudder at the mention Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends
The past year I was getting out of a long distance relationship, when I met this girl. She really liked me and openly used to say it out loud. "I want to be alone, I'm emotionally disabled" was always my feedback. We used to cuddle at the cinema and spend hours together in her car through tarnished glasses. A year of doubts had passed and she thought I'd always be like that. I realized too late that I also like and even love her. She was a really good girl even tho I projected bad experiences over her. You get it? This feels more like her pain that mine's, then the pain is doubled. Bad timing. I learned to respect the space between personal events, there's no need to rush and fuck up wonderful things.
"Frank fails to see the humor in my sad attempts at breakdancing in every bar along Lyndale Avenue" Cool to see Foxing paying homage to MCS by playing on Lyndale Ave.
i'm just going to vent here: i miss him so so much, he's became so distant and feels like he doesn't even care about me as a friend anymore. we used to talk for hours, now it takes him hours to even respond. I try to distract myself from him but my eyes follow him around and everytime i think of things that make me happy, i imagine him doing them with with me and it makes me so sad. he's so perfect in every way and i just want to be with him and make him happy, but it (now more than ever) feels like this goal is unachievable.
666 rat I relate so much I've had an ongoing obsession with a guy I thought I would spend my life with and now lost all contact and it's honestly the worst pain I've ever felt
I had never heard of them until I went to see Manchester Orchestra at the house of the blues in Dallas and they were one of the opening acts and I instantly became a fan lol
They’re incredible live. I had the reverse happen to me; I went to see Foxing open up for Manchester Orchestra, who I never listened to prior, and instantly became a fan. Now Foxing and Manchester Orchestra are two of my favorite bands.
I saw them in a basement in Milwaukee in December 2013, just a few months before their first album came out. 10 months later they were opening for Brand New.
Hi Alison, it's been a long time since we truly spoke to each other and I miss You but, perhaps, i was not that good man if i wasn't able to keep you (a friend, or what we were) closer, and instead i pushed you away. I hope you're doing good with your life.
Friend: Whats your favorite genre?
Me: Watching someone have a surprisingly rhythmic mental break down
Love this comment so much
Aka Emo
This
You would like Carseat Headrest
Even the trumpet sounds sad.
Aw no
me and my friend laughed at this before we heard the trumpet. then we laughed again because you are correct.
lol don't get me wrong, i really do love this band and song but the trumpet sounds like it has an undiagnosed mental condition. so fucking sad.
youtubeyoutubeyoutube yesssss!!! It’s my favorite part
The imperfection of his voice is perfect. If that makes any sense
Pure passion.
I think I get what you mean. His voice may not be completely hitting every note perfectly, but it's unique, and wouldn't truly sound like his voice if it didn't have those little nicks in it. And it also makes the song what it is. It adds a lot of emotional quality to it.
Silent Soul Wikipedia says the definition of a "perfect" voice is if it sounds sexy.
jk, but seriously...
NaughtyNickers his voice is awful in this video. he is barely hitting any notes. so you are saying if this recording was put on the actual album - instead of the perfect recording that probably took many, many takes to accomplish - you would enjoy? if you say yes you are 100% not giving a truthful answer.
poopy_fingers Strawman, lol
the pain in his voice...I feel you man
Makes me tear up Everytime literally could feel his pain I hope he gets through everything
extra stingy
Everything about this video is perfect. The camera feedback when he screams in the second verse, his falsettos, his Weezer shirt, and even how wobbly the low e string is when he his that e minor chord.
I know this comment is four years old, but that's an E major.
Strung Along why doesn’t this comment have more likes than the actual comment I laughed
Back in my day Cartoons! why doesn’t this comment have more likes than Strung Along’s comment I laughed
You forgot the mustache
@@strungalong9081 killed him
Whoever lives in that apartment behind them is so blessed.

Does anyone else consistently come back to this video only while drunk? i am very drunk right now i love all of you :(
You're not alone, brother.
you guys i just drarnk an entire bottle of wine in the shower and im back. i juist want someone to cuddle with :( i still love each and every one of you
A full bottle of wine is like the minimum each time being drunk for me. I think I've got a problem
this is so cute haha
It's good to know I'm not alone in this.
I was seriously taking an public pee about a block away watching this being filmed
Hahaha u shithead. Are u being u serious or what
+TalkingOcean8 you piss for 3 & a half minutes :o
Weird flex but ok
@@wiggles66 no he saw it, left he pp out and then watched.
The whole time?
This is the first I've heard of Foxing. Instantly hooked, I love his voice, the guitar, and the trumpet especially. Reminds me of American Football.
So WHYYYYYYYYY DON'T YOU LOVE ME BACK
idk im sorry :(
One of the last memories I have with one of my best friends, tony… who left us in 2018… chilling at the playground at the elementary school we went to many years ago.. drinking wine and beer.. screaming this song at 3 am. Where’d you guys go? We’d love some new music. @foxing.
This is what live music should sound like holy shit this is amazing
She needs to love him back. :(
she does. :c
Definitely, he looks like a good man
But if she does....we wouldnt have such beauty of these songs
That's not how love works
maybe if he didn't give off such a " Rapey Vibe "
This song changed lives
Just watched them live last night. When they played this song, everyone went crazy, you could feel his emotions as he sung it.
Somehow made her love me back... not forever though... here I am again after 5 years :)
Had this on repeat for hours
I remember using the phrase "half hearted" in a poetry class creative writing class in college and got jacked up by my prof
Nothing gets me off like a sad trumpet... I fucking love Conor...
tears to my eyes every time.
Been here since this was released. Never disappoints. Makes me very sad every single damn time. I love it.
If you’re coming back to this in 2021, you’re a real one ☝️
I wrote you a letter
Asked your best friend to send it
But took to the sea before you could have read it
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
But glowing and red
And I swear that sweat would
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it
[Chorus:]
I swear I'm a good man
So why don't you love me back?
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends
+page1234567 Thanks!!
+dYrOiUs no problem! the lyrics are super good.
I prefer to say you swear I'm a good man
That trumpet at the end was pretty touching. Even the guitarist had to stop towards the end lol. ;P
this is the first time I heard this song and actually listened to what he was saying. such a beautiful man.
shit... just when i thought foxing couldn't get any better.
I hear all the pain and sadness in his voice..these lyrics are so relevant
still here

Foxing is everything. Love you guys.
His voice had me goosebumps, what a beautiful voice
this was one of the first songs i listened too from foxing, i miss this generation of music
ah, nostalgia... thanks for reopening a wound a buried long ago.
It reminds me listener
"Frank fails to see the humor in my sad attempts at breakdancing in every bar along Lyndale Avenue"
Cool to see Foxing paying homage to MCS by playing on Lyndale Ave.
I love this, it makes me happier and sadder then a lot of things ever could
glad to see another minnesotan enjoying this song
This is making me miss being 19 and not caring about anything other than loving the fuck out of people.
i'm just going to vent here: i miss him so so much, he's became so distant and feels like he doesn't even care about me as a friend anymore. we used to talk for hours, now it takes him hours to even respond.

666 rat I relate so much I've had an ongoing obsession with a guy I thought I would spend my life with and now lost all contact and it's honestly the worst pain I've ever felt
i understand, going through the same thing now.
Same thing but with a girl
I saw them live back in July they were so good
Holy shit. That made this incredible song sound even more incredible.
This is one of my favorite recordings of Foxing. You guys are spectacular and I can't wait for the sophomore album. :)
I am inlove of these guys, seriously.
this version is my favorite.
Just bc he's wearing a weezer shirt i'll listen to them right now
Tryin not to cry in public while every time i hear his voice
Couch King sessions are so good.
absolutely love his vocals 💕
I wonder if the wind was intentional... the affect on the beginning is really cool.
+Roads To Liberty How would the wind be intentional? It just happens in nature. It's not like they ordered a gust of wind
well they did choose to film it outside in that environment knowing about the wind n stuff, so maybe he has a point?
lmao
Fan off to the side lol
effect
This is a great spontaneous live performance. I lost this video for a minute then I found it and put it on playlists so as to never lose it again!!
+RJ Parker glad you found it again :)
I had never heard of them until I went to see Manchester Orchestra at the house of the blues in Dallas and they were one of the opening acts and I instantly became a fan lol

I love his voice so much it sounds so good even tho he strains it so much by singing in such high notes
Lyndale Ave is a wonderful place to film a session. Come back to MN soon please :)
Still a holy moly moment watching this.. well done Eric & Murph
This is incredibly sincere
Incredibly awesome
I'll love him back
Shivers... Like!!!
He's wearing a Weezer shirt!!
You're telling me there are no comments. This song is beautiful.

imagine waking up to the sound of trumpet and you look out the window and foxing is playing on the side of the road acrosst the street from you
I'd be so happy
This is amazing
THIS SONG DESERVES SO MUCH MORE LOVE

Hi Alison, it's been a long time since we truly spoke to each other and I miss You but, perhaps, i was not that good man if i wasn't able to keep you (a friend, or what we were) closer, and instead i pushed you away.
I hope you're doing good with your life.
Foxing is under appreciated
Omfg yes
Hipster Jimmy Fallon lookin’ dude
