Lyrics:
[Hook]
If she don't love me, what can I do?
Just put on my best pair of shoes
Because I'm me
Because she said, "He's the one that drill the charms
Honey let's go wrong"
I just want to know
What's wrong with me?
Being in love with you
[Verse 1: Sonny Cheeba]
Yeah
9th grade had the jingles of the swinging rainbow jacket
Lost lingo, Bronx's only Django
Snap, he'd got less tougher
That's where my props go
That's where my pops went
See my percentage is a pennant to the planet
Knock it out the ball park, Frankie
I should not tire this tire
To a better love, let the wings spread
It'll always come back, baby
Come back, shellac black, baby
A come back, flat black paint on a Chevy
[Hook]
If she don't love me, what can I do?
Just put on my best pair of shoes
Because, I'm, I'm me
Because I'm me
Because I'm me
Because I'm me, I'm me
[Verse 2: Sonny Cheeba]
Never mind my tone when I told Pretty Tony
Listen to my tone, you ain't catchin' you a Tony
Award-winning walk when you running with a shottie
Why you running from us?
Why you messing with us?
We ain't got no guns, we just let the bears witness
The Grizzly, maybe Polar
You ain't ready, you ain't ready 'ready rolled up
Pulling a machete, cut the bamboo paper
And let's roll out baby
[Hook]
I just want to know
What's wrong with me?
[Instrumental]

Whenever I stumble across a good new tune like this, it encourages me to keep living just to see what else people can come up with
'since i left you' is one of my favorite albums of all time. check it out
My thoughts exactly. Makes me wonder how many more hidden gems there are out there.
please listen to both avalanches albums if u like this
Don't make me tear up Zeek.
OOOOOOR try something yourself? Find motivation to lead not to follow...
To all the people who found this by accident I hope you know that the Avalanches make all oh their songs with nothing but samples, which is dope in my opinion
So you're saying they got their style from literally everyone in the 90s? Awesome 😂
Yeah now I gotta check these guys out
@@GaryMillyz I think what he finds dope is that they can make a complete song out of only samples and beats, that's what's dope.
@@GaryMillyz yeah thats not it. Their album Since I Left You literally has upwards of 3500 samples. Theres a huge difference between playing or singing over ONE sample (basically a backing track) and composing with samples. All the nuances of what can (or can't) be done with instruments or voices that you're trying to use now have to be found elsewhere. It's very tedious work since youre constantly listening to more and more new music for inspiration, but the end result is this weird marriage of different musical periods forming something real instruments or voices by themselves could ever accomplish (not that its objectively better, but there is a lot of merit to this kind of art)
I did; Its great. Camplo?
*That rap segment is easily among the hardest flows I've heard, goddamn.* Love finding gems like this, wish I caught onto it in 2016!
My head hurts from how bursting with pride this song is.
Its Jay but what song?
@@bazglsgw1208 Nah it's Sonny Cheeba. It does sound extremely like hova though you're right
@@gamemeister27 Sonny Cheeba im a hip hip junky n im embarresed to say ive never heard of Sonny Cheeba. Ill check him out. He sounds v like Hov 🎤
@@gamemeister27 I checked out Sonny Cheeba and Camp Lo fan already.🎤 Jay used to do the fast shiit sounds 2 me as if he bit Sonnys flow.
@@bazglsgw1208 Bingo🔥🔥🔥🔥🥃🕶If ya Know U Know...
man, these guys are the kings of sampling!! I went down the rabbit hole with this one... LOVE the way they incorporate other songs. Eye in the Sky is another great one!
What are they sampling ?
@@Andrea-qx9vgThe main beat is lifted from "Want Ads" by Honey Cone, while the chorus is taken from "Why Can't I Get It Too" by Six Boys In Trouble. WhoSampled lists all the other ones
@@Andrea-qx9vg wines
@@Andrea-qx9vg Also the Honey Cones song "the want ads"
For those saying "why was a 10yo boy hitting on a grown woman",
He was NOT a boy. The boy does not exist.
The man on the BENCH was the one hitting on the ticket lady! The boy was the beautiful, loveable , childish and talented person the "subway bum" imagined himself to be. But the ticket woman can only see a "subway bum" singing for pennies. Get it? Brilliant writing and heart-warming song! A+
what a heart-warming interpretation... You really hit the spot. And I kinda always see myself in this song, all the one-way passions slowly running me over...
The hint is the hat!
Oh the hat....oh ok yeah I get it now
Woooooowwwww never knew that THX KNOW I LOVE THE VIDEO EVEN MORE
I love that the boy's voice is so out of key, showing how imperfectly perfect he is, as he's pouring his heart out - and the woman just callously says, "really?"
I love finding songs on accident
Thanh Ngo it has 20M views
its the best surprise
Thanh Ngo I was just thinking the same thing. It just happened.. 😁
Same
Lol yeah, it was in my recommendation 😀
I don't know what it is, but no other song makes me feel this way. I think this song is absolutely beautiful, but I can't bring myself to listen to it, because it makes me want to cry. It makes me think of life, all the years behind me that I will never be able to get back, but also all the years ahead of me that I can look forward to. This song brings me both sadness, but also hope, and an encouragement to keep living.
I cried 🥹
Shout out to Sonny Cheeba with the bars on this record and being in the video. He from the Legendary Camp Lo Group.
Holy F*** that's who that is!?!? I feel soooo dumb.
Still got that tooth pick
@tonystarks4400 The tooth pic should have have it away😂 Nobody in life can spit with a tooth pic in his mouth like Sonny, and your always forgiven. 🤜🏽🤛🏾
the dada man himself
WOW!!!!!
My boy left his whole heart on the platform, and she says “really”
I know right!!!
she ain't had to do him so dirty smh 👎🏾😄
Typical woman
Another day another girl.
Like she don't have a choice, typical man.
4 years later i'm still extremely impressed how this song manages to be about unrequited love and one of the most joyous songs in existence at the same time. Love it.
that'z the fun of falling in love anyway
💯💯
@@giuseppechiarelli8675 love being unrequited is fun?. And 24 people agree?! Lol
@@marvinthemartian4044 you should try
@@giuseppechiarelli8675 lol I 'should try' unrequited Love? Oh, I've been there and been the one not to requite a woman's love (personally, I didnt like that, either), Hasn't every man? What is enjoyable about loving someone that doesn't love you back, exactly? Your own self-delusion and denial?? I'm genuinely asking...for real.
Because, for me, it was utter heartbreak and it destroyed my 20s by marrying a woman who fell out of love with me... So, you were saying??
I'm going to assume you don't know what unrequited means, like most people, nor have actual experiences with love. F'ing sad bro...but You're probably young, so here's some advice for when you get the courage to speak to a real, live woman: don't bother and focus on yourself, First. Period. Learning to love yourself is ridiculously more important than anything else. 'maybe you should try it'...
The young man in this video is so talented and cute.❤❤❤
I love how the boy suddenly has a corded microphone in the subway!! Awesome ending with the heart!
nothing hits harder than listening to a song for the first time
Try this if you haven't heard it. The Avalanches produce truly meaningful music to goes so deep - th-cam.com/video/wpqm-05R2Jk/w-d-xo.html
Try listening again
They say heroin hits harder the first time
hit by a car on my bike, can confirm, they hit harder than songs.
Agreed. Every time I listen. Better when shared!
this album deserves the movie treatment. I love its retro inner city concept.
Rych3rInLyf3 GOOGLE The Was Soda Jerk and you'll get your wish
Go watch "The Get Down" on Netflix. It's hip-hop based but it's also very retro inner city.
Also on Gran Turismo movie on Netflix
Wish I could give this song a Thumbs-Up again and again and again...every time my broken heart needs a reminder
How tf I’m a hip hop historian, a 80’s baby from Ny and never heard this til today? This Heatmakers and dipset, this Alchemist...This is that late golden era of Rap
BECAUSE YOU NEVER HEARDA CAMP LO
I had that same feeling a couple years ago when I found this, it’s cause you old now, you starting to appreciate the art with a different view of the world!
This song literally changed my music preferences, I’m an old head now 😂
Just a great sample and plunderphonics band as The Avalanches...hope you keep enjoying them, I discovered them 10 years ago while working on a radio station with this song ....just love them❤
Whoever paid to have this moved up the TH-cam algorithms... Thank you..
Amanda Mashinini no joke been getting on my recommended for years keep coming back cause I’ve saved it since it seemed like it wanted to be saved in a playlist
Youre welcome young man
@@bigpimpin9010 right sure
FACTS!
Totally
I like that there is always a band ready to help a brother out
Love this comment!!😃🥰
and a group of breakdancers
LMAOOOO
...and she still shoots him down.
he puts his heart on a plate and she dismisses it. she isn't the one my little brother
absolute fkn genius
Incredible! The Honey Cone/Want Ads sample, the kid singing & dancing his heart out and of corse the legendary Sonny Cheeba droppin' bars!
This was on my recommended video . Damn I'm glad I clicked on it . This is dope .
Check out their first album - it's SICK.
O. gwap Same! I was on Tom Misch and a U.K. Rapper he works with, this came up next
Yessss! 👏
SAME! Way to go TH-cam recommendations!
same, I wasnt going to click but Im glad I did
The first part where the boy sings is from a 1950s album by Six Boys in Trouble which could be considered the first hiphop sort of on record. The Avalanches are like, a portal opening to entirely different kinds of music.
But...he isn't......rapping. He is singing.
Thank you for that nugget of info..
They do have some nice obscure oldies samples.
Thank you for that, i knew i had heard it before
thanks bro, its have been 2 years im looking for this ask. love u man
I came here to say, I love when rappers go outside of the box with music videos. It shows a true artist
The Avalanches aren't rappers. Their entire discography consists of songs made entirely of samples.
Hate the rapping.
From Thailand listen everyday.
The music, acting, writing, cinematography, truly a work of art.
the set and chereo pretty damn good as well
The Avalanches consistently put out amazing music videos.
The boy, his courage!
When it comes to visuals no one comes close to The Avalanches.
run the jewels, yeasayer, tyler, asap rocky/mob, ok go, ...
elmo olmen ...like i said, nobody comes close.
elmo you're absolutely right, except for maybe ASAP mob.
what about yamborghini high then?
but ja, i would put them together, i think rocky is the head of the visual ideas. so you right
i also like videos of the following artists: jungle, mick jenkins, fishing, fka twigs, die antwoord, lil yachti,
This video gives me a highly specific sense of longing to reminisce over a place I’ve never lived, a time I wasn’t around for, and emotional combinations I’ve never felt before.
This!
I know exactly how you feel, nostalgia for a time and place you never lived in and that maybe never existed in the first place.
The Avalanches and their works are dripping with this emotion.
Video is perfect. Dance choreography is perfect. Song is perfect. 1/2 of Camp Lo on the mic: Legendary.
.
It's a shame stuff like this doesn't get radio play.
In Australia it does
Radio is dying anyway
The reason it doesn’t get any radio play is because the radio stations only plays stuff that have the same sound as every other song that’s playing and/or very popular. This song is great but if it were to be on the radio it would be ruined by being overplayed by the radio stations just like every song that gets radio play.
KiloCharlieOne too short of a song
My mom just sent me this song thanks mom
Hi ( sorry for my bad english)
lol dude
(cries in Spanish)
Hi ( sorry for my bad english)
Dorian Emin-Jeong (Sneezes in Navajo)
hola! (sorry for my poor awful ninja english)
Not knocking nobody but black love is Beautiful. And the struggle makes it stronger
Thanks Avalanches!
This might be one of my favorites on the album
yeah it's my favorite mainly because I'm a huge Camp Lo Fan
thestonecoldbottom love that luchini
Subways to if I was a Folk Star in the album is the best bit imo
Trumpets rap and a good beat you won me over
😍
And sounds like something from the 50s
th-cam.com/video/c2cQ47VVzU0/w-d-xo.html
that beat is from the song "Want Ads" by the Honeycombs! Great song!
Always bitter-sweet, that's why i love The Avalanches so, so much. Nobody else can hit that subtle feeling with such precision, which means it's genuine.
I just happened to stumble across this song thanks to a Tracklib notification I got this morning and I'm glad I did!! 🔥🔥
her hair does look nice
yeah I wonder what she put in it
@@gian323 peanut butter and glue
Yeah she's a pretty girl
Hard
no it does not
reminds me of a young Michael
Omar war
ovos
I was thinking of young Michael meets Jay-Z :D
I think it was their intent. That place reminds the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets stration from "Bad".
danzer0 ...Yeah or like MJ on the movie Wiz in the subway scene.
im thinking thats the sample, i dont know for sure yet.
Whenever i feel down one play a month keeps me smiling. 😊 stuffs gold.
The kid reminds me of my nephew. He never sang before for me, but he has a great sense of humor that he doesn’t see. Now his voice is deep. When he was ten, he would sound like this guy. He has a good talent in other areas. His is going to be a famous man from the national basketball association. My family loves him. Because I Am Me.
i found this song on accident and i'm so happy about it damn
Karla Tuplano, same thing happened to me
Karla Tuplano I know right me too! It makes me happy, I imagine driving in the back of a cab from Kennedy airport and cruising around manhattan and seeing all the skyscrapers and people walking around in a rush! New favorite music group and he reminds me of Michael Jackson in Jackson 5!
Karla Tuplano tbhh
Same here! And, OMFG is this AMAZING or what? Clearly a buried gem on TH-cam.
fuck yeah me too
What an awesome message, gentlemen, if a lady doesn't love you back, just put on your best pair of shoes because you're not gonna change yourself for her - "If she don't love me, what can I do? / Just put on my best pair of shoes / Because I'm me".
I think shoes is a metaphor for your personality or the best version of yourself and if she doesn't love you for what you are, put a better pair of shoes and find another because you're you.
nono

no no

THERES NO LIMIT
its a sample dude
DynomiteKid65 Listen to "Why can't I get it too"
I love when this comes up in my feed every few months and I discover again how perfect it is in so many ways.
This kid killed it! So did the subway attendant tbh. What an amazing music video.
I fucking love this sound. Finally bringing back the soul that's been missing.
i read it with your voice
Dwight Schrute yes we been waiting....
And we want more
Stupid me, no wonder this has an old soul vibe, "Why Can't I Get It Too" by Six Boys In Trouble came out in '59.
"Michaeeeeeeel!"
Fact. This is dwight schrute
That kid is way cooler than I'll ever be
well to be fair you didn't set the bar very high
I didn't expect to see such savagery in this comment section
agreed
surge same here lol
Visit Skunk River Cycles.
Thank you Bose
this video is the personification of what it means to feel and live music everyday as a part of your being.
For those wondering, the kid singing is just sampled from “Why Can’t I Get It Too” by the Six Boys oF Trouble. The kid in the video is just an actor
Thank you, I was wondering about the kid and the other artists involved. One comment says its from Smithsonian Folkways. Yep, I just checked...here's the album: folkways.si.edu/street-and-gangland-rhythms-beats-and-improvisations-by-six-boys-in-trouble/african-american-music/album/smithsonian
The music samples Want Ads by the Honey Combs
th-cam.com/video/IkJGSnRB9RM/w-d-xo.html
The stuff is from 1955? Damn o_o
DustyRB Welcome to REAL music. :)
He's also the baddest dancer you ever saw ;p
This was better than most movies I've seen in the past couple years.
That's just sad
😁
Bruh, what are movies you've whatced man?
The 1st time I heard this song, it was about 30 minutes before my ex drove over to break up with me, due to her infidelity. This was, like, September 2018, and along with the chorus having eerie relevance to what was to happen, the song comforted me through the night.
Least she was honest and you know the truth.
Still hurts, still sucks, she still less than awesome, but she could have strung you along for longer and done more damage I'm sure.
Im glad you've made it here with us. Going through a messy divorce myself and comments like this on songs help me have hope its been really rough.
@@ghostnappa2311 i hope your doing alright my dude
It gets better, going through my divorce now.
JONNY DOESN'T KNOW!!!!!😀
The way she says " .... really?" at the end!
First thing it's so great to see this filmed in the Bronx. My heart swelled once I saw Fordham Rd. Second as soon as that guy started rapping I was like damn this guy's style sounds like one of them Camp Lo dudes from back in the day. Sure enough check out the credits and it's Sonny Cheeba! Amazing!
animbot I didn't spot it til the credits. He sounds great on this
I thought the same thing!! Good deal!! :)
animbot can't escape that camp lo sound. Too good
animbot who is Sonny Cheeba and camp lo
animbot ii
Rip to whoever is remembering this song and can’t find it
almost me
@@elanaoostinga3237 me too haha
me too!!
Me today at work. I forgot what i googled cuz it was at work but i found it!!!
Spent an hour looking for it cause I had the vocal stuck in my head
I don't always want this song, but when I do, it absolutely nails the spot.
Sonny Cheeba is always 70's cool! Dude is Black Ceaser, Goldie and Blackula all wrapped up in one!
Does anyone else wish this song was longer!? 😭
Belly dancer Jennifer My exact thought.

Honey Cone "Want Ads"
Meeeeeeeeeeee!
Wallace represents how Sonny feels on the inside when he tries to express his feelings to Becky - beneath Sonny's leather jacket you can see he wears a letter jacket similar to the green one Wallace is wearing. Despite sitting on the bench, calmly chewing a toothpick, inside, Sonny feels small and daunted by the challenge of talking to the assertive and commanding Becky. Wallace, his dancing, the band - all metaphors for Sonny baring his heart to Becky... and then getting shot down, deflated in the end, to go sit alone on the bench.
Good song, nice vid.
balthazar011 great observation
👏🤘👍
Something about this video just warms my heart. Adorable.
Bose headphone commercial brought me here, now im vibing to the album
That hook and that kid... MAGIC!
The brass instruments are amazing!
Thank Honey Cone. Stick Up by them was what was sampled.
Fossil Actually it's "Want Ads" not "Stick Up"
That kid was killing it great job👏🏾
Sampled from:
Six Boys In Trouble - Why Can't I Get It Too
The Honey Cone - Want Ads
thnx, alwas nice to remind people for the original artwork
I suspected it was sampled but its still a dope song.
This is so odd. I just found the song Want Ads the other month ago by accident and thought “god this is such a dope ass song, that’s begging to be sampled” then I heard this song and thought “what is that sample? I swear I’ve heard that before.” I didn’t even put two and two together before reading your comment.
@@lr8786 The album that this track is located on features over 3750 samples!
Obrigada, freezer
That kid looks like Michael Jackson when he was a little boy
maybe that's the idea they were going for?
thats why i clicked:D
He's attracted to an adult woman so probably not him.
Nah R Kelly would've tried to piss on her through the hole in the booth.
She's employed working at night so she's definitely an adult woman. So too old for R Kelly.
How can you seriously dislike this song??
This song sealed it for me. The Avalanches are one of the most creative acts that I've seen in my lifetime and we're all lucky to have found them.
THIS SONG IS DOPE!!! BUT I HAVE NEVER HEARD IT ON THE RADIO!?!...30 MILLION VIEWS IT'S A HIT SOME WHERE!!!
i think my ear buds are broken
Yeah, on TH-cam
I heard it in Asda yesterday.
In Australia!
@@barfymann362 I can see why. I heard it like four days ago and keep coming back.
Who knew that combining 9 songs could make one song that sounds better than all of them individually
Which 9 songs are those? From what I remember this song was sampled from one 70s song
@@jesseomollo9405 have a look on whosampled I think they're listed
*chuckle* There may be 9 songs sampled to make this track, but the FOUNDATION of it is The Honey Comb's "Want Ads." Without it, there would be no "Because of Me," at least not this version of it. It sounds just like "Want Ads" with rap added to it. Another thing... there are few things better than the original - this ain't one of them. 🙄
@@TheMercuryProject I will have a listen
@@Happy_Shopper You mean you never listened to the original songs that were sampled before you made that comment? 🤨 😑 😂😂😂
AMAZING! 1979 lives again! THANK YOU!
This song makes me sing and cry at the same time, how’d you all do that to me?
Album of the year, no questions asked.
word
You misspelled decade.
Justin Bolden
100% agree. have it on vinyl
Same here bud. Deluxe edition with a giant Wildflower flag. Without a doubt my most prized possession.
this is so ¨The Get Down¨ ❤
the get down is so 70's
This joint was 🔥🔥
rap part is genius.
I got a Michael Jackson vibe when he was a little kid. ♡ I love this
I don't mean to be overly rude here, but is that before or after the brutal beatings his father received? I would assume that being a young white lass, you would better understand the plight of black children in America, and the constituent racial biases held against themselves and others, furthering the push down poverty and filling more prisons than Northern Korea. I really like asians
Cola Botels what happened to you are you ok?
Cola Botels
Wtf are you talking about and what does that have to do with getting a Michael Jackson feels from this song?
앤투니 lmfao
I don't think that's a coincidence.......far less talented than Michael though.....not even in the same ballpark.
'It would be cuter not here'
You still have a chance kid. Wrong location thats all.
helsinki Excellent location!! 😝 Homesick for the Bronx!!
Just the wrong girl...
especially that he's a _kid_
He has no chance, a 10 year old trying to win a 20 year old girl's heart
jack bone I see what you did there 👏🙌👏
lol srsly
Thank you BOSE for bringing me here
I dedicate this to the 8 women I've been with since I was born in 65 hope I get 1 more.
I love this old school soulful vibe this has! The instrumental is perfect
Anybody else just really love the feeling of this video? Like all these different people/street performers coming together spontaneously for this kid, and then one by one leaving before the girl could realise what happened. It's kinda melancholy, but it's really cool at the same time.
Brennan Sullivan ✨I grew up in the Bronx and Fordham Road was always the area where I either took the bus or train ✨😬
I think it's a metaphor for how you can be so crazy about someone and they don't even know. While all of that was going on (presumably in his head), she's oblivious to it. And of course, the heart inflating and deflating was symbolic.
Brennan Sullivan they got other clip in black and white
I think you will love it to
It’s super old
Brennan Sullivan I only seen almost empty subway
The kid is the rapper inner child or the innocent lover in him....
Dude, got this song years ago and lost it on my old Spotify account, but watching GT made me remind it! Almost driving me crazy cos it ain't in any 'official' playlist. Gotta save it once again this hidden treasure!
They really took a bunch of different songs and audio clips n made a really beautiful song that moves people's hearts make so.wthing outta nothing that's the definition of a survivor
that Jackson 5 vibe though
Me too
Honeycomb vibe you mean
Wtf is vibe
What is wrong with ur mind
where tho
This video is made by a genius.
cinematography is just so good
it's just a regular one.
please bring me back to my childhood... the sampling of songs... epic feelings of joy
I love the vintage vibe I’m getting
That boy needs therapy.
Theodore Bronev He's crazy in the coconut!
He's psychosomatic!

I haven't listened to this track for a couple of years, REALLY still gets me! 😊😊
Heard this cool song on a Bose advert for the first time, six years after its release. I must be getting old.

And it's still not enough for the cow.
I think he's also telling her, however subtly, that she's a dime. If she'd have gotten it, he could have mic-dropped after that, but then this video wouldn't be. This.
It's perfection. 💚
Timeless.
Damn this shit is tight.
I think this is the cutest thing that YT ever recommended to me.
Then check out "Since I left you" - The avalanches. Those chunky miners dancing is the cutest thing.
@@unirod23 thanks man, I loved it too ❤️
Man loves woman
Woman doesn't love man back
in her presence he feels like a child again
But she wont pay him any attention
He wants to show her how amazing he his / how strong he feels
But he cant express himself properly because he's starstruck by her
That's my interpretation of the video.
good analysis ;)
^^ me with the girl I like
headcanon accepted
Me too bro ^_^
OMG true!
Track is still flawless. Everything from the sample to the kid in the video.
The instrumental in this is beyond amazing. I grew up listening to a radio station called CKLW. Although the station was in Windsor, Canada it was known as "The Motor City Station". If I were to sum up the sound of Detroit in the early 1970's I would point to this tune.
That comes randomly on youtube, and i am like what the funk??? my ears are smiling!!! peace.
I'm a 60+ yo (white) granny - and I love this! How dear! Who wouldn't find this young man adorable? Love is hope!
I wish there were more people like you!
