This song is like a love letter I've been waiting for but when I get it it's written better than I ever dreamed and it's from someone way better than I thought I was waiting for. So it's a surprise love letter from a surprise person that I didn't expect but I'm absolutely happy it's them and it makes total sense.
To me they seem to be the Canadian Pop-ish version of Glasgow's Camera Obscura that in they absence are filling the void. With Tracyann on guitars and vocals, Carey on keyboards, Kenny on guitars, Gavin on Bass and Lee on drums. Of course, back in the late 90's. It fits perfectly.
Rode here on the bus Now you're one of us It was magic hour Counting motorbikes On the turnpike One of Eisenhower's Live your life on a merry-go-round Who starts a fire just to let it go out? If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight On the weird guitar Said you wrote a while In the waking hour In fluorescent light Antisocialites Watch a wilting flower Live your life on a merry-go-round Who builds a wall just to let it fall down? If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight Don't sit by the phone for me Wait at home for me, all alone for me Your face was supposed to be Hanging over me like a rosary So morose for me, seeing ghosts of me Writing oaths to me, is it so naive to wonder If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight If I saw you on the street Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
At about 2:46 is Kerri picking up "If I saw you on the streets......" while Molly wails or do you think they looped Molly? Kerri seems to be able to overlay Molly so delicately I can't decide what I'm hearing. I'll be seeing them this coming May, very excited!
Such a great observation! The keyboardist Kerri is picking up the chorus and Molly does the background wailing/humming(?). Also, the background lyrics, to me, on what Kerri sings sound like "Don't let emotion, destroy everything." Not sure, maybe that's just my ears.
OMG, tonight hey played to a full house and what a sound. They were so tight and sounded spot on. They hit everything I could have asked for and one that was either new or a cover. It was a stand-up music hall so there was a lot of jockeying for line of sight. Hopefully next time they are in a theater setting. We may have been the seniors in the house So cool to see young people moving to music that turns me on too.

bassist with that "did i lock the door?" look
dontletmebringoutmy main lol.. yupp, he’s looks confusing
hahahaha
LOL
At 1:27 he realized he did in fact lock the door.
lmao
that keyboard / synth girl really killin it
Kerri MacLellan
Really though.
After a 3rd studio album from Alvvays she should start her on own band.
Haha yea she was multitasking like a boss. Really carried the song
keyboardist just like betty lafea x velma
The keyboardist looks like an adorable nerd from 80's sitcom
I could see her in Stranger Things :)
keyboardist just like betty lafea x velma
I'm always impressed when a band's live performance is nearly identical to their studio work.
or sometimes not, but somehow different in a good way or good in a different way....usually it's best to not try different but just be acceptable.
The way it used to be.
Bands are under no obligation whatsoever to sound like the record. If you are older and grew up with lots of live music you understand this attitude.
@@quininde I'm saying when a band didn't use tricks to sound better on a recording than they actually are.
@@quininde I think they were partially referring to a band's ability to actually perform live.
why is my history teacher on drums?
Ian Ruhala Eric Wareheim? Lol
jjajajajaa! on kexp there was no drummer! :-P
Eric Wareheim yes.
And why is my chemistry teacher on synth?
Odic *bass
I wanna be in a band like this and make music like this
Bazly Rahman same
Bazly Rahman u can join my band
Bazly Rahman 🖐🏻 Me too!
Bazly Rahman me too where u from?
Me too, I make music that tiesto and Paul oakenfold played but I want create a different style like this song. :)
her vocals are so perfect
Alvvays are pretty much everything I want from a band.
Alvvays looks like if your local community college's humanities department started an indie rock band
This is my favorite song from the last 5 years . I've played it at least a hundred times or more . In love with this song .
Bunch of serious nerd playing a most beautiful song I've ever heard
I love this song.

she sounds so beautiful
I'm amazed that Molly can stay in key with all the bent MBV stuff going on with the guitars (not so much on this song) . Outstanding performance
One of the best tunes of the year
this is the scooby doo gang doing their indie gig
keyboardist just like betty lafea x velma
Dumb ass question
one of the best pop songs of 2017!
Masterpiece!
Couldn't agreed more
pop?
sorry it´s heavy metal!
xD
this song is so beautiful. it should've won a grammy
She has a beautiful Celtic sounding type voice. I love this song - very dreamscape
This song is ridiculously beautiful.
Ferris Bueller on the bass
Hahahah exactly, thought I was the only one who thought that
God this is so good. One of the best of 2017
Perfect performance of a perfect song. Wow.
molly got them vocals on deck.
I'm getting eargasms listening to Molly's angelic voice.
I just found out this band, they are amazing! =)
Sounds even more beautiful with the cleaner vocals here....so lovely 💓
I swear I’m stuck with this song and only using 10 seconds from the start. It literally hits straight into my heart. Very comfortable.
This song is stuck in my head all day. Never get tired of listening to it. ❤❤❤
gasabar gue nunggu july alvvays kejakarta👽
Whoa. I've never heard sing up that high like she does at the end. Gorgeous tone, I hope they use that side of her range more often.
I wish this song could last forever....

migulrocks I'm going to be seeing them for the first time in February, I'm so excited!

Great live performance! Her voice is the real deal

Alvvays covers Camera Obscura, it's on You Tube
I saw that video. Thank you.
RIP carey
Amazing live version!!!
Roh Roh ( Scooby Doo voice) . This tune will be stuck in my brain all day !
I think Kerri should take lead vocals for at least one song!
got a master of none's Arnold vibe from the drummer. amazing song
I love harmony with music that is tonal & no syncopation.
They sound amazing live ✌🏽😻🙏🏼
Such a pretty song. They are so good!
my favourite canadian band !!!
Rode here on the bus
Now you're one of us
It was magic hour
Counting motorbikes
On the turnpike
One of Eisenhower's
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
On the weird guitar
Said you wrote a while
In the waking hour
In fluorescent light
Antisocialites
Watch a wilting flower
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
Don't sit by the phone for me
Wait at home for me, all alone for me
Your face was supposed to be
Hanging over me like a rosary
So morose for me, seeing ghosts of me
Writing oaths to me, is it so naive to wonder
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
Que grande la tecladista, y la cantante, son unas genias

Keyboard works so beautiful

Wow she sings like an angel!!! 😭😍😭😍
My soul thanks you for the music
The singer looks like the kid who did the "ordinary" Slayer Raining Blood cover (with the 8-string) and the "metal" Beatles cover... can't unsee this.
Mix was perfect!
So good, always enjoyed their tunes
This is perfect. Keyboard on point 🎹

It should all be apparent in 90 minutes. Alvvays is in the house ❗️❤️

Te amo vocalista
I thought she is old now, because the music video looks like it was taken about 30years ago.
They used archival footage from 1967 and superimposed the band members over it.
+Turnmeon Thanks for the reply, now I get it. ;)
