Lyrics:
For how long and how high do we ride
While we wait for the shade to reply
Up above the world again
Gone up above the world again
Who can blame you
All we gain isn’t there for us to keep
So we howl in our sleep
Up above the world again
Up above a world again
Who could blame you
Rio left New Orleans
Do you know what that means

God this is good.
Thank you, Tim.
Our values are under attack.
5 bags of popcorn, 5 bags of soda
Great job!
Thanks Tim, God is good
I dont know why, but my twin 7 year old daughters are obsessed with this video...and I am not complaining at all. We've watched it every morning before school since it appeared it my feed.
it cracks me up to hear about kids seeing through irony, appreciating an art product with no cultural context whatsoever, and liking it merely because it's fun and interesting and cool!
Ibold tending bar. Hell yeah.
This is truly perfect!
Amazing to notice
Matt Sweeney is such an underrated vocalist!
White's drumming just keeps this tugging forward from beginning to end
Supposedly Jim “cannot drum” according to some ding-dong in the comments on the other Hard Quartet video
Jim's drumming is vital to this song!
@@slacktoryrecords4193 He is the drummer! Drummer of drummers, dancer of dancers. And style for miles and miles.
I'd heard of Jim for a while (Smog, etc) but his skills never actually registered with me until this song. He's the secret ingredient here.
Wild that our lads are older now than Mick and Keith were when they shot the video this is winking at.
Pavement and Chavez were easily my two favourite bands in the 90s... this is mind-blowing.
And Skunk, I think Skunk was one of Sweeney's first bands.
I don't know Chavez, but Yo La Tengo was at its peak in the 1990s (Electro-Pura). And Pavement was transcendently good. Malkmus sounded like a young Lou Reed. And if you can expand your count of favourites (are you British? Or Canadian?), there were Soundgarden and Nirvana. And Phish. And, of course, Superchunk in the 90s as well. Smashing Pumpkins. Sonic Youth. Sleater-Kinney. Pearl Jam. The 90s were a pretty decent decade for rock and its offshoots. Stone Temple Pilots.
Stephen Malkmus always has such economical, purposeful solos. It's very inspiring honestly as a songwriter...Another great example is with the late great David Berman with "In the Wild Kindness" on American Water.
maybe not true economy ala Neil Young on Cinnamon Girl, but definitely tasteful and not overthought
Malkmus checking out the trash bags for a second is maybe the best part of the spoof (Keef does the same in the original video, hilarious).
Going to be listening to this about 347 times today
it will only take 13 hours so that's a very reasonable goal !
Giving me wistful mid-tempo Faces vibes, one of my fave genres
this song just saved my summer
This song shouldn’t ever end.
Río Hackford will live forever in our hearts. What a beautiful sentiment to him from this talented bunch and now the whole world gets to feel it. Wonderful work, gentlemen.
The band we didn't know we needed.
This is my 'Espresso'
So great to hear Sweeney singing. Wonderful tune and lovely tribute to Rio. ❤
Best thing since waiting on a friend
The idea you guys did a shot for shot remake of waiting on a friend on the same stoop is iconic.
SM and JK Simmons are in a rock and roll band together? This truly is the greatest timeline.
This makes me really, really happy
This is giving off The Band vibes.
Waiting on a Malkmus
Shades of Big Star. Nice.
❤️🥰🌟🌟🌟
“Thirteen”? I saw that on another social media platform. I don’t hear it at all. What Big Star song? And what part of this song sounds like which part of whatever Big Star song y’all are hearing?
Some other dude said this just sounds like Pavement
@@slacktoryrecords4193So tense
I suddenly like new music again
Great to hear Matt's voice again, and a great stones reference
Fuck this is the best new song ive heard in years
This song makes me super excited to hear the rest of the songs. So good.
Such mellow soulful vocals this Sweeney guy rocks. Love the riff too. Wonderful tune
So catchy!
such an instantly easy tune to listen to
Song of the summer
"All We Gain, Isn't There For Us To Keep..."
“So We Howl In Our Sleep”
Great !
The coolest dudes in the world right here!
I had never heard of these guys, and the video came up in my YT feed. I thought it was David Cross and Bob Odenkirk for a hot second.
Because it's comically whoreable?
Malkmus and Sweeney could be brilliant together. Plenty more please
This needs to be at least two jammy minutes longer…gotta let it breathe
This is nice!! Iove all of it but matt is the coolest guitarist. His solos are emotional
Sounds like Malkmus takes the solo. It has that Church on White feel.
Instant hit
Waitin’ on an album
Wonderful song. Beautiful lyrics. Thanks fellas.
I'm old and this short and sweet tune is solid gold !
I love that bar.
I love this song, everything about it.
This is premium
Waiting on a friend tribute!!! Well done guys!!! What a riot!!!! So so cool!!!
How wonderful.
Enjoying this one a lot more than Earth Hater
Sublime stuff is happening here.
Beautiful, greetings from Colombia
Matt Sweeney is so fucking dope.
Fantastic.
Love it, great song fellas.
This video is really fun to watch at half speed
Whatta vibe
Love the I-Bar! Time to swing by again!!
Waiting for a Friend
The perfect life❤
Sully and Efron! Repping some dope skaters!
really really enjoyed this one, gents. What a great tune and a fun video. The vibes are gold.
Just read about this new band on my feel presents email subscription- Dirty 3 ams Pavement have been two of my fave bands since mid 90s! This band is truly exciting for this day and age!! Song sounds great guys!! Come and play the Gold Coast this summer
Stephen Malkmus be that Keith Richards of indie rock on one song's video. Never thought I would think or think to type that ever.
Haha! Yes Waiting On a Friend shot for shot! And great song. I love it
Actually amazing! 🖤
This song is so fucking cool man
Come out, come out wherever you are.
The Grateful Dead vibe is strong here and I'm digging it.
i wouldn't have picked that but now you mention it i can kinda hear some dead in there how beautiful!! Someone else said big star which yeah wouldn't have thought it unless someone mentioned it i hear pavement with new overtones and shades if big star and dead now ❤️ it
This video reminds me Waiting On a friend by the Stones
oh really
Incredible ❤❤❤
Love this a lot
All we need now is Uncle Bob (Pollard) doing some guest vox too since Sweeney played with GbV some time ago too..
This is giving me really rad Pavement vibes. Oh, man. I can feel the nostalgia washing over me now.
@@oyemimelaza Wtf. How?
@@BenjaminDaniels-c9q Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are ya?
@@oyemimelaza This is nothing like Pavement. You're a wannabe.
@@BenjaminDaniels-c9q LMAO. You're pathetic.
Sweeney wrote it and supposedly it sounds like Big Star. Whatever
The coolest dudes in the world in the same band??!!!??? Omg so good!
This is great!
Bravo Fine Fellas!👏🏻🖤🐺
Storm's a-brewin
It’s on my Americana playlist. Which I redefining that genre name to not just mean the Allman brothers… but as anything that feels like THEE great American road trip OR the 4th of July! 🇺🇸
Oh boy, this makes me ultra happy.
I didn’t know the Barre Internationale was still open! And I walk through the damn EV every day. (And see Matt & his lady a lot.)
Pure uncut charm, by gum
Damn good y'all.
It's too short. I always have to play it at least twice.
It could last 10 min!! Loveley video Stones tribute!! 10 out of 10 for this tune!
The kid with the miller lite is the best!!!
If you haven't heard Skunk they were Sweeney's first band or one of the first, i think they only recorded two albums the first was called Last American Virgin and the second and last one was titled Laid.
If there is a better song and / or video this year I will eat my Mudhoney baseball cap
:)
Just Waiting on a Friend©
Love it! Homage to the greatest video ever made!👍 Malkmus as Keith is the best!
Thank f*****g god, it's amazing
Isn't it!!
If you think Pavement is amazing, sure. Sounds exactly like Pavement.
@@marshall0814 doesn't really sound like Pavement to me at all. Maybe some of the guitar playing and background vocals
@@marshall0814It doesn’t sound like Pavement. Matt Sweeney wrote the song
It sounds like the lovechild of pavement and chavez
That beer clink was so aggressive but so friendly at the same time. These are some good dudes. 1:41
This is one great tune!
The Good shit
Very much makes me think of the byrds.
Sounds awesome!Two great songs,two videos.So far so good.Can’t wait for the album.
amazing ❤
Brilliant. Waiting on a friend...
