My friend's fiance was a roadie. Pavement PLAYED AT THEIR WEDDING. I'm not even kidding, it was epic. They also sang "Shady Lane," but changed the words for the bride. "The worlds collide, but all that we want is a Tracy Lane." 💜
one of my all time favorite songs ever made. thank you pavement you helped me through my awkward teenage years and are still helping me through my awkward adult years
Damn...it just really takes you back. Like, you can suddenly smell the apartment you were in, see the crappy pier 1 furniture, really just feel that mid-90's feeling. Indescribable if you weren't there.
This song and Carrot Rope make me sad, because they were their final songs from their final album. Such a beautiful way to finish their great career. Pavement is my most favorite band… .
this song and album are really great and have influenced many artists. the fragile and introverted harmonies can be heard in modern day indie bands such as kurt vile and the violators, girlpool et al. but to me, being a pavement fan since being a kid in the 90s, it's a hard listen and this song in particular is the band's swan song. there was a lot of internal conflicts between malkmus and spiral stairs during this time. as you might know, there's not a single spiral song on this album, which makes it feel less pavementy and slightly more pretentious than the others. not taking anything away from terror twilight, it's a great piece of well produced record. however, it's kinda saying goodbye to the whole 90s era of great rock bands. i don't think pavement were ever destined to go into the 2000s and somehow i'm glad they didn't. their legacy is so good they have nothing to prove. in my book they will always be the greatest band of the era.
Stephen Hodson It's just a straightforward, beautiful, and catchy pop song. I wish Pavement did more like it. I don't really care for anything else on Terror Twilight, same with Brighten the Corners, I only really like Date w/ Ikea.
It's always interesting to me how this was the first song on the album. It feels like it should be the last, but it actually works perfectly given the context of the band and how the album plays out. They begin the album with a bittersweet and nostalgic ballad but end with a goofy and upbeat song. It reminds me of the funeral practices in certain cultures where they have a big celebration after or during the laying of the casket in the ground. Much like the passing of a person, we should celebrate the memories and greatness that came with the band and try not to be sad about it. Also, Pavement is currently touring as I'm writing this comment so that's awesome.
'Here' was their final live song played before they split. Brixton, London. I was there as SM came on stage, placed a pair of handcuffs on his microphone and announced "this is what it's like being in a rock band"
Idk, they were arguably the biggest indie band of the 1990s. The fact that they were all able to be full time professional musicians, travel the world and get any meaningful press coverage, is more than 99% of the musicians out there ever experience. I’d say they were very successful. Like many of their influences, Pavement’s legacy will only grow, as time passes.
I've been a Pavement fan every since their first album. I first saw them live supporting Sonic Youth, the last time I saw them live was 30 years later in the same venue. One of my favourite bands of all time
I kinda love seeing Bob wearing a Rice Sweatshirt. I'm a 3rd gen Notherm Californian Massive Anglophile who's been lost/transplanted in Texas for 15 years. It brings me a little joy.
However you feel, Whatever it takes, Whenever it's real, Whatever awaits, Whatever you need, However so slight, Whenever it's real, Whenever it's right. I've been thinking long and hard About the things you said to me, Like a bitter stranger, And now I see the long, The short, the middle and what's inbetween, I could spit on a stranger, (Pour/pull me out) You're a bitter stranger. (Pour me out) Whatever you feel, Whatever it takes, Whenever it's real, Whatever awaits me, Whatever you need, However so slight, Whenever it leads, Whenever it's right. Honey I'm a prize and you're a catch And we're a perfect match, Like two bitter strangers, And now I see the long, The short of it and I can make it last, I could spit on a stranger, (Pour me out) You're a bitter stranger, (Pour me out) I could spit on a stranger, (Pour me out) You're a bitter stranger. (Pour me out) I see the sunshine in your eyes, I'll try the things you'll never try, I'll be the one that leaves You high...high...high
I wish I was obsessed with Pavement back in the 90s the way I am now. Sadly I was a child and didn't know about them...my dream is to hear Pavement live so I am holding out hope for next year's show in Barcelona!
pavement .... possibly the best band of all time? not because they stuck to indie labels or whatever, but because they are just fucking amazing ..... fact!
Heard pavement on Radio 6 music yesterday, while I was doing my homework. Thanks Radio 6 :). I live in the UK, so don't be worried if you've heard of that radio station xD
Is it bad that I think Terror Twilight is Pavement’s best album? The songs on this record are amazing, and the Nigel Godrich production is so warm and stellar! C’mon! 💙💛❤️🖤
I broke up with the love of my life eight months ago, it all ended very badly, he broke my heart into pieces. We met by chance at the pavement concert last weekend after months without speaking, this song expresses exactly how we feel, like two strangers, who still love each other but we can no longer be together.
I love how Pavement chose to include footage of the old King's Cross Thameslink station at the beginning of this video. King's Cross in 1999 was a deeply untrendy area of London, I'd like to think Stephen Malkmus was the catalyst for the huge redevelopments over the last 25 years.
The fact that I want this to be the first dance song at my wedding says allot about why I have never been married.
Need a wife?

@@mgmegt5920 Hi
Feel ya tho
god i love pavement so much
Agreed.
god I love pavement so mush
almost cry when i listen to this :) love it so much
@@mattarmstrong6478 has that effect on me too, but happy tears, pavement is my feel better music
Me too, pal.
one of my all time favorite songs ever made. thank you pavement you helped me through my awkward teenage years and are still helping me through my awkward adult years
You're a bitter stranger.
Damn...it just really takes you back. Like, you can suddenly smell the apartment you were in, see the crappy pier 1 furniture, really just feel that mid-90's feeling. Indescribable if you weren't there.
Wow. Nice description. This is interesting to hear. I’m a teenager so obviously wasn’t there but that somehow made me sad.
This was 1999 but your furniture might have been mid 90s.
The 90s..what a time. So glad I grew up then.
This song and Carrot Rope make me sad, because they were their final songs from their final album. Such a beautiful way to finish their great career. Pavement is my most favorite band… .
To me, when I hear this song, it reminds me of something very important and beautiful ending. Then I remember it was the end of Pavement.
I just now, all these years later, found this band due to reading about the band blur, and how one of the band members listened to 'pavment'
Mike Keith
better late that never
+Mike Keith funny. That's exactly how I found them too!

Great summation. I shall add that, in my book, Pavement art the greatest of any era.
Being a Pavement fan since the age of 13 brought me here. Now 30 and climbing. Stay Cool, folks.
Loved them for 25 years now and I'm 46. Nothing has ever come close. Steve M is a frickin god and I have met the dude. I can die a happy man.
I've loved them longer than both of you.
I found pavement at 13 too and now I’m 42 :)
as someone who constructs pavement thanks ❤
13?? Wow. Thats pretty early for great music.😮
I just found out about this song yesterday and I already can’t stop listening
Welcome to the pavement ,you’ll never leave
What a fucking perfect song.
You don't need a lot of expensive equipment to make great music. Just a soul. Just listen to pavement
What if I don't have a soul?
oh no, here comes the wave of nostalgia
This band is fucking cool.
What is it about this song? easily one of my favorites from both Pavement and straight-up all time...Malkmus captures some serious magic in this tune.
Stephen Hodson It's just a straightforward, beautiful, and catchy pop song. I wish Pavement did more like it. I don't really care for anything else on Terror Twilight, same with Brighten the Corners, I only really like Date w/ Ikea.
They don't suck

I love this so much... What a way to describe it
@martinsmartini44 thx mate
'Here' was their final live song played before they split. Brixton, London. I was there as SM came on stage, placed a pair of handcuffs on his microphone and announced "this is what it's like being in a rock band"
Also, this must be 1 of the greatest songs ever written. These guys are so underrated its unbelievable
I must say, HIMYM does have great music!
agree!! how are you though hows life these past 9 years??
Hahahaha ive just recently started Himym and I can totally agree with your comment. But out of curiosity, hows life 9years later? Hahahahaha
@@amangoyal923 can you make a playlist?
This is pretty good
This should be taught in the class- "How to perfectly accompany vocals with a backing guitar lick 101..."
that is a very specific class
Pavement helped me make it thru the 90's... I played their music in my car... on cassettes! (and they still work today!)
how about now??
@@mcbanie he has a pencil hes good
“however…whatever…whenever…whatever…whatever…however…whenever…whenever”: beginning lines in parallel is just brilliant songwriting
Apparently "Something" was the first song that SM learned on guitar, and that really shows in this tune.
interesting trivium!
Hah! the little echoing drum sample in the beginning even sounds a bit like the fill at the start of Something
one of the best songs ever.....wish more people were enlightened

One of my favourites of all time
Pre corona looks weird
Never stops to amaze me what a masterpiece this song is.
one of the best bands ever on the plane earth! Thanks Pavement
Such a great band. Underappreciated. But beloved by those with great taste in music. 😮
all their songs make me so happy!
One of my favorite songs, no joke.
Was a parting gift in my eyes before the long hiatus.
I kinda love seeing Bob wearing a Rice Sweatshirt. I'm a 3rd gen Notherm Californian Massive Anglophile who's been lost/transplanted in Texas for 15 years. It brings me a little joy.
Most underrated band in music history
Just watched their set at Primavera '22 and it reminded me of all this band's beautiful melodies and the feelings they conjure... warm golden feelz
Found out about Pavement this year before i turned 18 and this song makes me so emo it literally feels like growing up Lmaoo love pavement
However you feel,
Whatever it takes,
Whenever it's real,
Whatever awaits,
Whatever you need,
However so slight,
Whenever it's real,
Whenever it's right.
I've been thinking long and hard
About the things you said to me,
Like a bitter stranger,
And now I see the long,
The short, the middle and what's inbetween,
I could spit on a stranger,
(Pour/pull me out)
You're a bitter stranger.
(Pour me out)
Whatever you feel,
Whatever it takes,
Whenever it's real,
Whatever awaits me,
Whatever you need,
However so slight,
Whenever it leads,
Whenever it's right.
Honey I'm a prize and you're a catch
And we're a perfect match,
Like two bitter strangers,
And now I see the long,
The short of it and I can make it last,
I could spit on a stranger,
(Pour me out)
You're a bitter stranger,
(Pour me out)
I could spit on a stranger,
(Pour me out)
You're a bitter stranger.
(Pour me out)
I see the sunshine in your eyes,
I'll try the things you'll never try,
I'll be the one that leaves
You high...high...high
감사합니다~
gracias amiga

I will never stop listening to pavement
Love 90's Music. Just a great feel
pavement .... possibly the best band of all time? not because they stuck to indie labels or whatever, but because they are just fucking amazing ..... fact!
Pavement is an absolutely amazing band.
It's great to be young and be in a band.
Pavement forever.great song
Jesus Christ, I’m so stoked about seeing them next year
Pavement is the greatest band of their decade, Malkmus is a genious!
This should be played in the 3 Minutes before apocalypse. It makes me sad in a good way.
Captured the description of it perfectly
And carrot rope
Hermosa canción. Escuchandola ahora, a las 16:33hs. en algún lugar recóndito de Buenos Aires.
love his voice sm
i hope i dont forget this song.
i'll see the sunshine in your eyes
Serious Velvet Underground Vibes. Love!!
If I could just write and perform a song a tenth this great I'd be like I channeled some kind of Paul McCartney greatness. A classic.
Omg the M40 sign in the UK, at the beginning... Class 🙊
this sound is perfect for a tour song.. they are amazing!
I forgot how amazing these guys are
Heard pavement on Radio 6 music yesterday, while I was doing my homework. Thanks Radio 6 :).
I live in the UK, so don't be worried if you've heard of that radio station xD
My old school love of Pavement brought me here.
sair na capa da dazed era um evento tao importante na vida deles q eles gravaram um video clipe. q bunito
I'll be the one that leaves you high, high, hiiigghh.. so beautiful.
Pavement and London. Pure perfection
I kinda addicted to this song.
JEW, modest mouse, weezer, slight death cab is what i hear. Love it.
Is it bad that I think Terror Twilight is Pavement’s best album? The songs on this record are amazing, and the Nigel Godrich production is so warm and stellar! C’mon! 💙💛❤️🖤
I've been listening long and hard to Pavement, Guided By Voices, The Replacements.
pavement makes me feel like everything is gonna be okay!
a goosebumps song- can literally feel it chilling me up.
not really into music videos but this one really got me.
Bought this album in a thrift store and haven't stopped playing it.
Bwing bwing bwing bwang bwing bwing bwing bwing! Pavement are based.
May 2022 and I’m just discovering this song and album❤️
This is the band everybody should know about. But just I do here in Austria.
I broke up with the love of my life eight months ago, it all ended very badly, he broke my heart into pieces. We met by chance at the pavement concert last weekend after months without speaking, this song expresses exactly how we feel, like two strangers, who still love each other but we can no longer be together.
So laid back I love it

It’s been 23 years since the first time I saw this video. Only now did I notice that the blue plastic ring Scott holds up has the Ween logo on it.
Loved them then and now. So underrated
La librairie du Botanique rue royale a Bruxelles!! J'ai marché au même endroit que Malkmus!!!! I have walked on the steps au Stephen
There is a tile on the floor of the Botanique corridor commemorating their concert there. Steven has come back with the Jicks to the same venue.
Always loved this little ditty.
I LOVE PAVEMENT SO MUCH
If you don't love Pavement you ain't got no soul.
my fucking good taste for music brought me here
amen brothers. pavement.
Belíssima canção!
❤😊❤
Congrats from Brasil
I'm in love.
Essa música tocava em alguma propaganda aqui no Brasil, lá nós anos 90 hehehehe muita nostalgia
tocou na série "a menina sem qualidades" e talvez nos drops que a MTV fazia pra promover ela
Pavement is one of those only bands that can make nonsensical lyrics sound so pretty
Maybe the greatest band ever. I don’t even care that Mark E Smith despised them.
To be fair, Mark E. Smith was madly talented, but he was what we could call a "chronical hater" nowadays.
Happy 50th birthday to Stephen Malkmus !
Pavement forever!!!
Thank You Pavement
They went out on top...
this song makes me want to cry...not sure why
Underrated
This song makes me extremely sad. Especially on a rainy day like today.
Nothing, no series or anything else brought me here. I came only because I've been listening to her for years. 😉
Who is her lol
@@FMurdaBIllz I assume he’s not a native English speaker and hasn’t quite gotten the pronoun thing down yet
Nice just heard this on the new show Paper Girls-killer soundtrack.
thank you for saving my life
I dunno why but I would like to see Pavement react to this video nowadays. Such a nostalgic song
Watching this during Covid
That’s fucking brilliant.
Himym brought me here
dude i love that film :" so in love
