@@AFistfulOfVinyl 69's now a lost cause. New goal should be 666. Also very interesting. I love your channel, and first saw this video like 10 years ago.
I remember when this video first came out, and now I’m watching it 15 years later. This really brings back an era for me, skateboarding with my friends, breaking into the highschool pool to swim in the summer, going to shows on the weekends. 😢
I love how as soon as the song ends they get super modest. They're so calm, but their fans are off-the-wall insane according to some shows I've been to. When they played at the Fest one year I thought the building was gonna collapse. No joke. The whole time they all had this super worried/exhausted look on their face and kept stopping to ask everybody to "PLEASE be careful." Fortunately nothing shitty happened and it turned out to be.... fun? Definitely memorable. Nah, fuck it, it was super fun also. I swear I will never see a show like that again, ever. Not to mention, a show by anyone even slightly resembling ^^^^ THOSE super mellow, brady bunch looking motherfuckers sitting on that couch.
My favorite show took place under a bridge where I got to play my shitty music then a bunch of super rad dudes who didn't know each other all sang and played survival by Andrew Jackson jihad and fuckin rocked it under a bridge.
discovered Defiance Ohio in high school. Finally saw them live in dtla 2 years after. Years later - one of my greatest memories is catching them b2b days in San Diego then LA, a memory I’ll never forget
Lyrics: I'll tell you in street intersections Cause they give you a place to go Give meanings to lines on maps Tell you how you're gonna get home Now I'm back here in the Mid-West Where everything is familiar and sincere Everything's external and nothing just happens to you here In between coasts Lookin' for what it was you lost on second street Forgot what it was on Washington And you let it go, you let it go, you let it go And you jumped in that pool undone We're still in town, isn't that fun, yeah isn't that fun? Now I know there's been some hard times And I don't mean you and me You're over believing and back to forgetting And you're turning on tv What you see just makes you numb And the headlines all become a blur And the years and lives scroll by The bottom of that screen like desert sand And we're entrenched in a mess Embedded in our beds, sleepin' in What I wouldn't give to wanna live like I once did Lookin' for what it was you lost on second street I'm starin' through the windows of my friends And I can see all their lofted beds Imagining all these lofted dreams and skinny clouds above their heads And we're waiting for the hesitation to end This town is way to small To ever need the bus So meet me at the pool That they keep unlocked all night For us
I think they all look pretty baked to me, especially the cello player and the cartoon looking character top-right. I like how the singer gets happy when he looks at the him.
@beficasita666 far left playing maracas check out his band Nana Grizol with him singing and other members of Neutral Milk Hotel r in it its freaking beautiful
I enjoyed hearing this again, the sort of music you could be close to, and have amnesia, and discover again..uh. A lot of people were part of this music & different versions of words and melodies, exist, contrast, consense... agreeing to make it freely available in a non-physical form (i.e. here on the i-net) is neat and yet hard on musicians, some. I think, there is a true somewhat sad story in this, a surreal phenomena, this old woman seen several occasions (over 20 years), from another country, looking at the ground near 3rd (in various towns, among them portland, oregon) outside the jail. (They changed the street to avoid lawsuit, jk) People visible and invisible suddenly... was one of the non-normal events. She would say she lost a thing but not what. I think was a wedding ring, but maybe it was handcuff key, or a lighter or something. Maybe different things in each recursion, one of those seeming a unique event, many details, but discussed in a crowd it was noted many repeated events that matched up oddly over several years. The thing was not just dropped, it was as though a hidden person under the concrete took it, the same as I lost 3 sewing needles recently. No where they could be. She did not want to give up, and passing folks asked, some offered money, tried to help but she insisted on finding the thing. They get her to give up - and it became evident she needed a place to go and had almost nothing. Teleportation was reported.... she would get irritated and then finally calm, some, with a man's help. I was there at one such instance... sunlight after a lack of it affected memory notable, many reported odd experiences that day. (just got out of jail, just got out of the army, crawled through tunnels and arrived on a boat were four such stories I heard) She was secretive, and wouldn't accept help from me. Someone else did. Everyone present was lonely, seeking a partner, it seemed, and also had no moorings other than their beliefs, or money, the things they carried.. A crowd gathered before she 'let go of it', calmed and a bunch of other stuff happened with the people, weird mood swings, judging and irritable and other oddities reported. The swimming pool no doubt would turn me away. There might be one that you could jump the fence to. I'm disappointed. The 24 hour pool was a great thing, and the houseless as well as everyone benefitted, an example of the TRIUMPH of the commons (as opposed to the 'tragedy'). Aside, there is a reason for towns named stuff like "Defiance" in Ohio - because people were tired of something or other, and in Oregon we have "Independence" tho' these places are so small they are quite boring unless you seek random chance, camping or it's your home, and near enough to some larger place you can bicycle there. Buses are neat when your tired, that's one of the jokes in there. (but sufficiently short distances, less so) if you're carrying stuff matters too. Also there is a "Truth or Consequences" New MExico, and a "Rough 'n' Ready", "Kalamazoo", and "Cascadia" now. Also a town called "Boring".... I'm pretty sure we've met but I'm not going to guess names, other than violinhead, guitar-guy, etc... Also, radicals have a hard time maintaining identity and connecting sometimes over the years because of the need to find new names to go by or place to be less annoyed, which screws up songwriting some, so kudos for getting it out there, again. Lastly, as a kid, I did not realize that musicians have the difficult task to make something that will be 'ok' as well as 'good', because there is a possibility of hearing a song: at the pub, in a car, while having sex, doing work, or from your roommates, for better or worse.
@CodisTheDestroyer i honestly think it's a lot more hipster to label bands as hipster than just listen to them. i listen to this music because it's good, not because it's underground
@DenVaagheid Of course you can, so long as they're the opinions that other people want you to have. Seriously though, I don't see the connection but if you do, that's cool. I don't mind. There are a lot of musical extremists on youtube, and if you compare something they like to something they don't they go ballistic. Don't mind them, your thoughts are your own.

My biggest wish is that teenagers keep finding this and never let DIY die

Hey friend - Just want you to know that my channel probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for this video.
wow! very cool.
This video also influenced my life decisions. Positive!

Ahhhh, still super in love with this video. Folk punk was such a revelation to me as a teenager. Defiance, Ohio were my patron saints.
Me too comrade 😍
@@imgayasheck595 defiance led me to pat the bunny and the anorexic olsen twin. I will always owe a debt to them.
Same boat.

I always watch this if I have a bad day just for the drummer.
might you be the drummer?
He looks so happy!!
He has his own band now called Nana Grizol. He also sings the Defiance, Ohio song 'You Are Loved.'
wait which one is the drummer lol
@@pyuridaeone in the back right in the brown shirt with a maraca :3
I miss Defiance Ohio so much! Such a great bunch of people.
Not exactly the same, but there's always Nana Grizol!
wait, is this the actual band playing?
@@JohnSmith-kt3yy it is
I keep coming back to this after years of listening. So peaceful... "I know there's been some hard times.. and I don't mean you and me."
This is now one of the most special videos of the whole internet for me
Rip Jason. I know you loved this band. Wish I could see you just one more time :(
no wonder theo had to go make his own band he's the cutest thing in this video
I found this band on accident riding back from my friend's house. That was one of the best nights of my life.
Aaaannnd this popped up on my front page again :) Thank you TH-cam algorithm for reminding me how old I am.
I miss these days. So much great music discovered on IYMI.
This is quite possibly the greatest song ever written.
Miss ya Defiance Ohio. Hope you are good wherever you are.

essence of acoustic punk rock
That fest show was amazing
I’m incredibly jealous
Awww!! The drummer looks so happy, he makes me happy!
That's Theo Hilton. He's actually a really talented songwriter and frontman for the band Nana Grizol.
him and Ryan also made some music with the amazing Toby Foster, simply called "Theo Hilton, Toby Foster, and Ryan Woods"
he's the cutest thing i've ever seen
Just dropping a comment to show this video some love
Miss them so much
@@DuffDingle we all do.
I come back to this all the time. THANK YOU
its just so entertaining to watch the guy in the top right. fuck. this is a good song.
Because of the setup I thought this was a cover and was oh, so happy when I realized this is really them.
I've always loved this version so much more than the one on the album.
Truthfully one of the greatest punk bands I've heard in a LONG time, save the classics~
So cool!
Remarkably, no one had tattoos back then! Love it!
Both of my very kind, tattooed arms would like to have a word with you; and give you a hug! ;)

This video keeps getting better and better with time. I miss these folx.
hard to replace for sure, but if youre into them youll like the band that came out of it! nana grizol
omg the guy in the back right is my favorite please give me his vibes.
Lyrics:
I'll tell you in street intersections
Cause they give you a place to go
Give meanings to lines on maps
Tell you how you're gonna get home
Now I'm back here in the Mid-West
Where everything is familiar and sincere
Everything's external and nothing just happens to you here
In between coasts
Lookin' for what it was you lost on second street
Forgot what it was on Washington
And you let it go, you let it go, you let it go
And you jumped in that pool undone
We're still in town, isn't that fun, yeah isn't that fun?
Now I know there's been some hard times
And I don't mean you and me
You're over believing and back to forgetting
And you're turning on tv
What you see just makes you numb
And the headlines all become a blur
And the years and lives scroll by
The bottom of that screen like desert sand
And we're entrenched in a mess
Embedded in our beds, sleepin' in
What I wouldn't give to wanna live like I once did
Lookin' for what it was you lost on second street
I'm starin' through the windows of my friends
And I can see all their lofted beds
Imagining all these lofted dreams and skinny clouds above their heads
And we're waiting for the hesitation to end
This town is way to small
To ever need the bus
So meet me at the pool
That they keep unlocked all night
For us
i owe so much of my life to this video
Still come back to watch this ♥️♥️
Literally only clicked this because it was in my recommended and the thumbnail drew me in, but holy shit that was good.
this song makes me smile the whole way through. and some times makes me tear up. but either way at the end i feel good. positive vibes guys...
This made my day the day it was posted and still does in 2021
I think they all look pretty baked to me, especially the cello player and the cartoon looking character top-right. I like how the singer gets happy when he looks at the him.

@agenttk421 which one? they have two people switch of on drum detail
I'm assuming you mean the red Fender? If so, it's a Musicmaster. I don't think that's the stock pickup, but I can't say for sure.
My fav
@agenttk421 he sort of reminds me of the singer from nana grizol.
lol, what did they say at the end like something about piercing finger webbing to attach a maraca or something?
@DenVaagheid I respect your opinion sir :)...... I don't see the similarities but I will respect the fact that you do...
with only one pickup?
@ifyoumakeit that little string looking thing on the neck?
Love it
This video is so classic
@Omgshoes017 Haha, nice sense of humor. It's DEFIANCE, OHIO! "Sucks" doesn't apply for them.
oh, theo
what kind of guitar is the singer using
i'm wondering b/c i kno theo uses it for nana grizol shows something
Wish I could hear the dude on the acoustic more, but other than that this sounds beautiful!
2:28 LMAO what does she see??? :D
4:02 haha he's so badass!
o my god i just love the whole video, they're so fun and they have fun doing music! :D
@atramentowy i laughed so hard at this because i looked back at the video after i read this...he was freaking
what are you talking about?
Is that a Fender Bronco?
