Wolf Alice - How Can I Make It Okay? Blue Weekend - Out Now - dirtyh.it/bluew... Directed by Jordan Hemingway vevo.ly/qbgJTS #WolfAlice #HowCanIMakeItOk? #BlueWeekend
@@aussie698 You can't be a philosopher without being anxious, Carlos. Just accept your anxiety as a facet of your personality. At least that's what i do, at some point i gave up the battle and now anxiety for me is like a girlfriend i don't really fancy, but we're kind of soulmates...
@@aussie698 No, it isn't. It may seem like that if you compare yourself to others, but only you are you. And our anxiety means we're thoughtful, caring, empathetic, and careful people. This isn't a waste as much as the gaslighters want us to think it is. Take care
Ellie said in an interview recently she wanted to show off her instrument more (her voice). Well she has smashed it out of the park here. Glorious. This song is going to be huge live. They love festivals and I can see this being a massive song in such a setting. One of those "moment" songs you won't forget.
@@chrisd6194 Haven't heard of Julia Holter, I will have to check her out. That's what is great about the comments section, people put you onto other stuff. Cheers.
honestly im just so lucky and grateful to have found this band on spotify. i think moaning lisa smile was the song that caught my interested in the band. its sad how many ppl, who are probably looking for bands like wolf alice to listen to, are missing out
Because there being delibrately kept down (radio air time, youtube views manipulated/pushed down whatever you wanna call it) cause of there support for Palestine which I completely agree with (there support for Palestine). The world is run by an evil Zionist regime that you make enemies of if you go against them. They are my heroes, not just for the music but there bravery in supporting the BDS movement (boycott, divestment and Sanctions) against Israel. They risked there career for there beliefs and no doubt they'd be bigger if they towed the line. Last Man On Earth should've been there biggest hit, there no1 and time to shine. This is the first time I've seen a chance to mention all this cause of your comment. I hope they don't get bumped off one day like the lady from The Cranberries so obviously was
The last time I can recall being this overcome with emotion upon hearing an 80s throwback jam was when I first heard Somebody Else by the 1975. This song may very well be better in my books.. Unreal tune !!!!!
I'm a 65yr old musician who just discovered Wolf Alice a few months ago....it's tracks like this that show their true creativity and understated musicianship.
Right there with you Tony. At 64, I stumbled onto a Wolf Alice video 8 months ago. I just had the whole band sign my Jackson guitar signed in Kansas City. Amazed at the body of work this band has put out. To go big time, and play your own material is incredible!
Really impressive vocals and creative arrangement. Ellie really showcasing the absolute power and dynamic abilities of her vocals, some of it sounds very much next level. Ellie is in a way, a next-gen Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Nicks, Dolores ORiordan, Liz Phair, Kim Deal and even T.swift hybrid all rolled into one- she's really incredible and the band has a brilliant chemistry.
Why does this video/song hit like a ton of bricks? The emotion they can pack into a 5 minute song is mind blowing. This album has been on repeat all day, and is my favorite of 2021 thus far. Cheers, Wolf Alice, and thank you.
Have you ever heard a song that just fits into time and space just perfectly? A song that defines the current moment? Well this song is it. This is what we need for 2021. Thank you WA! You guys are amazing.
@@Ursorion Definitely could hear Haim and Stevie Nicks, I would love to know what the band have been really listening to in between albums for inspiration. On Smile, the band sound like Smashing Pumpkins and Chilli Peppers. I love the diversity and range of songs.
The song is brilliant, and the video clip gives me such a moving and powerful message. As a personal interpretation, it made me think that you shouldn't be afraid of being yourself. If it doesn't affect anyone negatively, you should be brave to do whatever makes you happy. Maybe some people may laugh at you or think you're a fool (e.g., when the crowd rejects to join in), but by showing who you really are, you may lighten up some other people's mood, just like the man who joins in singing. The end is sublime and brought a tear to my eye. We're all human, after all.
I totally agree with you, but I like to see it from the perspective of someone with social anxiety, this song is just so powerful, it's her talking to herself: "I'm not fine here, how can I make it ok? I just want myself to be happy"
im 52, sadly probably have more experience in new bands etc than most but hopefully not all, wolf alice for me are one of the only bands right now pushing any boundaries musically, better live than recorded equals greatness, and that they are...... The "youth" of today deserve a band like this, cos the charts are absolute utter garbage. We can all agree though that this is an outstanding album.
50 here and I totally agree. All I do is search for what can compete with the music from 80’s and 90’s and there is only a handful of bands that are good/ great to listen to. Some of them come from the 90’s and still make music. Tool is above and beyond most groups. This day and age most is crap like mentioned 👆🏻 i am so glad I came across Wolf Alice Their talent wrecks the stuff on charts
Picking best Wolf Alice songs makes Sophie’s Choice look like a walk in the park but I’m going with the holy trinity of Silk, Don’t Delete the Kisses and How Can I Make it Ok? Utterly breathtaking.
The song is so full of details and layers I am in love. The verse reminds me a bit of Evensong by Innocence Mission, which I have listened to again this morning, the first time in ages. The odds:)
Your Love is Cool was reminiscent of early 90's grunge Visions of a Life took a step further in late 90's shoegaze Blue Weekend recapitulates both with 'Smile' and 'No Hard Feelings'... but 'How Can I Make It Ok?' goes backwards to late 80's synthpop. Wolf Alice is so refreshing, yet so deeply rooted in the history of alternative rock
This is absolutely the bands most heart-felt and meticulously produced album. I cant wait to see where Wolf Alice goes. Please, i beg of you... keep it up guys. Thanks.
Which is saying a lot since Visions of a Life is astronomically great. But I think it truly will, this song and The Last Man on Earth have wowed me to no end.
The entire album is lucious. In my nearly 6 decades, I have not anticipated an album more. Wolf Alice never disappoints. I am so glad to be alive to have experienced this one-of-kind band! Thanks, Wolf Alice!
I am not lying at all when I say that this song makes me get all goosebump-y and tear up every. single. time. that I hear it. It is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for bringing it into my life.
"How Can I Make It OK?" A moment to change it all Had life before been so slow? Urgency takes hold But to live in fear, isn't to live at all So how can I make it OK? I just want you to be happy How can I make it OK? I just want you to be happy How can I make it OK? Nothing else is as important as that to me How can I make it OK? Nothing else is as important as that to me Oh, oh, oh How do we sell you the world? Let it in, embrace and uncurl So fierce, so bold Someone like you should not be left unsold So how can I make it OK? I just want you to be happy How can I make it OK? I just want you to be happy How can I make it OK? Nothing else is as important as that to me How can I make it OK? Nothing else is as important as that to me OK OK A moment to change it all Had life before been so slow? Urgency takes hold But to live in fear, isn't to live at all So how can I make it OK?

Nothing else is as important as that to me OK OK
For me... This is one of those songs that take a hold in your mind.. I've been hearing it in my head for a few days now. The words resonate with me and the melody and vocals are beautiful and captivating ❤️
What a song. I feel so connected with it and the melody makes me sway and I want to embrace everyone. Embrace myself and remind everyone that it’s going to be ok. Thank you for this song ❤️
I find the video clip distracting, but also poignant. It's karaoke (or lip synch?) and nobody wants to join in when its a "creepy old guy" doing it but one man doesn't care. He just loves the song so much that he has to jump up and join in, and embrace the man that loves the song as much as he. It takes a surreal turn at the end but it feels like the crowd joins in too. It looks on the surface that they may be suddenly gay for each other, but imo they are attracted to the song. They are connected by love.
this album grows and grows on me as each single is released. i can't wait to listen to it in its entirety and have yet another religious experience delivered to me by such an incredible group of artists
I never heard a song like this in years. Some how I see myself sitting in a empty lunchroom on a rainy day. Just moving my coffee spoon a little and staring at the umbrellas outside. This song is just beautifull and makes me want to think about sad times and giving them a new place to never show up again. I think that's the meaning of making music. Well done Wolf Alice
There's something so beautiful and human about this video. One of the most remarkable videos I've seen in a while. Kind of hits at a sort of nostalgic, once-in-a-lifetime feeling that comes on a night out like this. This sort of ephemeral closeness, where maybe you'll never even see this person again, but it's meaningful enough in that moment. I'm rambling, but maybe some people will get this. Gives me some hope for the future of human connection
You guys opening for Glastonbury was a fucking highlight this year for me. What a song. Will be staying up until 12 am for this album. Incredible job you guys.
This song means a lot to me. It's been 3 months and I'm still moving on from an abrupt break up from my 6 years of relationship with my ex. It sucked and traumatized me. This song helped me cope and managed to make me smile and get up from wallowing in existensial dread, especially when I listen to this song while looking at myself in the mirror bawling my eyes out. This song feels like a pat in the back, it feels like logical me talking sense to emotional me.
Was messing around on a shortwave radio and I picked this up from a station in England . . . Could barely make it out. Luckily I heard the dj say the name of the song at the end. I could hear the melody, but not the words.
I cant see how they wont sweep the brits with this album, it's flawless. I just listen to the songs and think musically every single one is flawless in every way, its a masterpiece. Not every band can work every single song to this level, but they did it and I can't wait to hear it live.
Being alone in your little poorly lit room. Too much amphetamine but at least I'm not drinking. I am trapped inside this song, again and again and again. I want to stay here forever. It's fucking beautiful. I wish someone was here so we could watch and listen to this together. I am afraid of the inevitable sunrise. The sun will destroy everything. But Wolf Alice is amazing.
What a album...ethereal, epic and in parts punky...it not only stretches itself, it works as a singular play with every song complimenting each other...almost dare I say...like a concept album. Please spread the word. In a world where the nature of the charts now don't lead to crossover acts like a decade or so ago, this band deserve to be huge. There is nothing as good as them out there at the moment. Either in pop, alternative or inbetween.
This song evokes something in me I cant even explain. Its hit me harder than any song has in a long time. Her vocals are captivating and angelic right from the start and pure throughout and the emotion in her voice as she sings "I just want you to be happy ! Nothing else is as important as that to me! " gives me chills. The overlap with that refrain is sooo perfectly done. Also the changes in this song and the transitions where the guitar parts come in heavy are fucking amazing. God this song and album are such works of art. I've cried to this song already a couple times
When I first heard this song, I enjoyed the melody & production. Much later I paid more attention to the lyrics. As I listened to the lyrics I just felt a complete wave of emotion. I am presently addressing & healing from childhood trauma. The lyrics of this song are helping me to heal. "to live in fear is not to live at all". This refrain stuck in my head & it was like a switch went, I just knew, now was the time to get the help I so badly needed. I want to make things ok and I want to make myself happy. Thank you Wolf Alice for writing a song that's providing the sound track to my healing ❤
Brilliant artists and the borrowed Fleetwood mac pounding baseline kills makes this a true rocker!!! Hands down best band right now snd for so many years to come!!!
Honestly I'd say 2021 had a whole bunch of great songs by a number of different artists, but this one in particular is most certainly one of the top three of the year.
I'd say this song and the album it's on are proof that good music is still being produced, and I'm a _huge_ fan of '80s music. You just gotta know where to find it these days, 'cause it won't be played on the radio. Thankfully, the internet is a wonderful tool in regards to finding new music that's actually good. Since you like this track, I suggest checking out these modern groups/artists: Pond (their new album, _9,_ is a masterpiece), Tennis, Beach House, GUM, Best Youth, Neon Indian, Cut Copy, Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils, Miami Horror, Stray Fossa, Matt Berry, Sports, Django Django, Small Black, Real Estate, Still Corners, The Zephyr Bones, Drug Store Romeos, Ty Segall, Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, San Cisco, bdrmm, Foster the People, Jay Som, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Hoops, Kevin Krauter, MGMT, Pool Holograph, Great Mountain Fire, Soccer Mommy, and Shiny Joe Ryan. It's all great stuff and there's bound to be a bunch of tunes you'd enjoy.
my favourite Wolf Alice is has always been The Wonderwhy, and I think this song is its partner. The main chorus of The Wonderwhy has the lyrics 'don't leave me here when I'm not sold', and I never understood what that meant. In this song, Ellie sings, 'how do we sell you the world' and 'someone like you should not be left unsold'. I was brought to tears when I made the connection that being 'sold' means being convinced that living in this world is a good thing.
"To live in fear, isn't to live at all" it hit me hard
Yes
Yes , all my anxiety is wasted life...
@@aussie698 You can't be a philosopher without being anxious, Carlos. Just accept your anxiety as a facet of your personality. At least that's what i do, at some point i gave up the battle and now anxiety for me is like a girlfriend i don't really fancy, but we're kind of soulmates...

yes the way she wields her voice is truly amazing and unique. She's showing it off on this song and No Hard Feelings
@@Breadking100 Sounds like she's been listening to alot of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie NIcks.
@@Alpha_7227 Probably listened to Julia Holter too. It almost sounds like Holter is a guest vocalist on the chorus. Beautiful song.
@@chrisd6194 Haven't heard of Julia Holter, I will have to check her out. That's what is great about the comments section, people put you onto other stuff. Cheers.
Moment to change it all
It's a little early for album of the decade already but that's not stopping Wolf Alice from dropping it anyway :)
Your work isn't bad either. Similar feel to an Aussie band we had here in the 80's and 90's, Weddings, Parties, Anything.
I so agree... absolutely amazing every song I've heard from this album so far.
The could honestly not be a better post-Covid album dropped..., this is phenomenal music. Everything is going to be ok 🙂
But it’s shit
Fans of artists are funny
I don't understand how this band isn't HUGE. So talented, every song so poignant and fun and meaningful. Love this band so much.
Young people just don't listen to rock these days
@Firwen . Perfect comment.
Yes. They deserve to be huge. This is unprecedented stuff. I haven't been this excited about a new band in .... yes, literally ... decades.
honestly im just so lucky and grateful to have found this band on spotify. i think moaning lisa smile was the song that caught my interested in the band. its sad how many ppl, who are probably looking for bands like wolf alice to listen to, are missing out

the hold this band has over me is insane
Same sentiment 💯%!!
Same same my favorite band. I’ve never loved every song from a band but they are the perfect mix of grunge and ethereal pop.
I feel you
I only found them 4 years ago but I just can't get enough of them.
Same!!
this song has made everything okay
오 시발 나도!
Would go really well with a couple @pintsofguiness in this lurvely 3rd album day weather !
PLEASE cover this!!!
They just want you to be happy.
Hey, it's you, thanks for Woodstock live
The Best Female Singer in Rock N Roll for the past decade plus
The last time I can recall being this overcome with emotion upon hearing an 80s throwback jam was when I first heard Somebody Else by the 1975. This song may very well be better in my books.. Unreal tune !!!!!
Yes!!!
So much yes
So accurate!!
But Somebody Else is kinda the best song of all time
Matto, lad, you hit the nail on the head.
I'm a 65yr old musician who just discovered Wolf Alice a few months ago....it's tracks like this that show their true creativity and understated musicianship.

61 here and this is my new Led Zeppelin.
it feels so Twin Peaks I love it
Cocteau Twins-ey ❤️❤️❤️ stunningly beautiful
Bang on. Definitely borrowing from the Liz Frazer phrasebook circa 84. Great though.
Yes! I was listening to Cocteau Twins during this quarantine and becoming a fan. And now a band that I love is doing this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It´s like a subtle Cocteau Twins and The Sundays homage.
To me it's like Cocteau Twins meets Fleetwood Mac.
Three albums in and right now they are the greatest band in the world
They're good, but no.
@@testadiradio_ wolf alan are clear
*( "TO~BE SURE" ! ) 🐺 €¥£ ^

Wolf alice are amazing but Tame impala and arctic monkeys are better in my opinion
this really gives me a lot of peace, it's beautiful 🥺💙
same ❤

Blue is cold
Red is warm
Yeah. Hearing it for the first time tonight. So beautiful that it gives me chills.
They're giving off definite Heaven or Las Vegas era Cocteau Twins vibes on this song.
Love that album 👌🏻👍☺️
Righhhttt
High praise
Omg so true
Definately thought Cocteau Twins and also a Siouxsie and the Banshees vibe about it.
Love the modern fleetwood Mac vibes. Great song.
Bruh, it’s enya
Enya with Mick Fleetwood playing the drums 😁

Exactly
Have you ever heard a song that just fits into time and space just perfectly? A song that defines the current moment? Well this song is it. This is what we need for 2021. Thank you WA! You guys are amazing.
Into 'space & time' 😜
my exact thoughts! looking back at 2021 this will sound exactly like this time/era.
@@tORIpeejbJorK I see what you did there😄
I couldn’t agree with you more!

Now i can imagine
HAIM Sisters doing
a cover of this song
This album is gonna be remarkable!!! 💙
I thought that, definitely has that Haim or Fleetwood Mac vibe.
exactly!
When I first heard "how can i --- make it --- okay" I instantly thought of Haim, glad I'm not the only one here
@@Ursorion Definitely could hear Haim and Stevie Nicks, I would love to know what the band have been really listening to in between albums for inspiration. On Smile, the band sound like Smashing Pumpkins and Chilli Peppers. I love the diversity and range of songs.

I'm 66 Yr's Old And I Love This Band.

Very nicely said - from a 57 year old who feels pretty much the same.
Not the biggest fan of Wolf Alice, but this song is hugely underated. So well written and a stunning vocal.
The band are underrated
Picking best Wolf Alice songs makes Sophie’s Choice look like a walk in the park but I’m going with the holy trinity of Silk, Don’t Delete the Kisses and How Can I Make it Ok? Utterly breathtaking.
This song gets better and better everytime I hear it
Fleetwood mac...? No....wolf Alice! A new dream! ❤
This is the band that carries the legacy of the 90’s alternative rock scene the best.
What a musical masterpiece !!! Wolf Alice are alone in their Supremacy. There are no others like them !
The vocals feel like Cocteau Twins to me 🥺❤️
Cocteau Twins are one of Ellies faves
Probably my favorite song from the album. Ellie´s voice is always soothing.
Best song on the album
Agreed its ethereal
Fr 😭
Feel extremely lucky to witness how this band evolves over the years
Not sure if there is a more important band to me right now. These guys just need to keep making music for us....forever.
This song is amazing, But the video to accompany it is on another level. I love this band.
The song is so full of details and layers I am in love. The verse reminds me a bit of Evensong by Innocence Mission, which I have listened to again this morning, the first time in ages. The odds:)
This song feels like a hug that transmits comfort and grace ✨
This song gives me chills. So beautiful.
This song is a fucking miracle. An absolute masterpiece.
Your Love is Cool was reminiscent of early 90's grunge
Visions of a Life took a step further in late 90's shoegaze
Blue Weekend recapitulates both with 'Smile' and 'No Hard Feelings'... but 'How Can I Make It Ok?' goes backwards to late 80's synthpop.
Wolf Alice is so refreshing, yet so deeply rooted in the history of alternative rock
Definite shades of Fleetwood Mac in here too. Mixed with the 80s synth vibes as you say.
I hear some cocteau twins vibes,too

it surprised how little view this video got... what eolf alice are doing is extremely underrated.

"How Can I Make It OK?"
A moment to change it all
Had life before been so slow?
Urgency takes hold
But to live in fear, isn't to live at all
So how can I make it OK?
I just want you to be happy
How can I make it OK?
I just want you to be happy
How can I make it OK?
Nothing else is as important as that to me
How can I make it OK?
Nothing else is as important as that to me
Oh, oh, oh
How do we sell you the world?
Let it in, embrace and uncurl
So fierce, so bold
Someone like you should not be left unsold
So how can I make it OK?
I just want you to be happy
How can I make it OK?
I just want you to be happy
How can I make it OK?
Nothing else is as important as that to me
How can I make it OK?
Nothing else is as important as that to me
OK
OK
A moment to change it all
Had life before been so slow?
Urgency takes hold
But to live in fear, isn't to live at all
So how can I make it OK?
I just want you to be happy
How can I make it OK?
I just want you to be happy
How can I make it OK?
Nothing else is as important as that to me
How can I make it OK?
Nothing else is as important as that to me
OK

Dude in the audience absolutely sells the build up lol
I never heard a song like this in years. Some how I see myself sitting in a empty lunchroom on a rainy day. Just moving my coffee spoon a little and staring at the umbrellas outside.
This song is just beautifull and makes me want to think about sad times and giving them a new place to never show up again. I think that's the meaning of making music.
Well done Wolf Alice
Kate Bush and First Aid Kit had a baby, and it slaps. What a song.
I felt like that black guy at the beginning of the video and ended up singing and crying at the end what a great song 🎤👌🏿
Best song of the album!💖
What an incredible song this is!
There's something so beautiful and human about this video. One of the most remarkable videos I've seen in a while. Kind of hits at a sort of nostalgic, once-in-a-lifetime feeling that comes on a night out like this. This sort of ephemeral closeness, where maybe you'll never even see this person again, but it's meaningful enough in that moment. I'm rambling, but maybe some people will get this. Gives me some hope for the future of human connection
Already booked tickets for 3 of their gigs... cannot wait for the album! Best band on the planet
You guys opening for Glastonbury was a fucking highlight this year for me. What a song. Will be staying up until 12 am for this album. Incredible job you guys.
This song means a lot to me. It's been 3 months and I'm still moving on from an abrupt break up from my 6 years of relationship with my ex. It sucked and traumatized me. This song helped me cope and managed to make me smile and get up from wallowing in existensial dread, especially when I listen to this song while looking at myself in the mirror bawling my eyes out. This song feels like a pat in the back, it feels like logical me talking sense to emotional me.
This is so beautiful and warmhearted, I'm crying so much right now
Was messing around on a shortwave radio and I picked this up from a station in England . . . Could barely make it out. Luckily I heard the dj say the name of the song at the end. I could hear the melody, but not the words.
It was probably BBC radio 1
A hauntingly beautiful song and a brilliantly conceived, produced and performed video.
undoubtedly the most beautiful and powerful song I’ve ever heard
This album's gonna be a classic
Of course this song is sublime and fantastic, but so is the hug at the end of this video!
I think this song will be great!!! Wolf alice had never disappointment me, they have no bad song.
Yeahhh !!!
I love every single one of their songs. It’s unreal.
I cant see how they wont sweep the brits with this album, it's flawless. I just listen to the songs and think musically every single one is flawless in every way, its a masterpiece. Not every band can work every single song to this level, but they did it and I can't wait to hear it live.
Anyone else getting Fleetwood Mac vibes ❤
Being alone in your little poorly lit room. Too much amphetamine but at least I'm not drinking. I am trapped inside this song, again and again and again. I want to stay here forever. It's fucking beautiful. I wish someone was here so we could watch and listen to this together. I am afraid of the inevitable sunrise. The sun will destroy everything. But Wolf Alice is amazing.
Best band right now, hands down! This song gives me Kate Bush vibes, impressed by Ellie's vocals so far on this new songs.
Gives me dreams Fleetwood mac vibes, same notes. Love this song!
What a album...ethereal, epic and in parts punky...it not only stretches itself, it works as a singular play with every song complimenting each other...almost dare I say...like a concept album. Please spread the word. In a world where the nature of the charts now don't lead to crossover acts like a decade or so ago, this band deserve to be huge. There is nothing as good as them out there at the moment. Either in pop, alternative or inbetween.
Oh boy this is a beautiful song. Thank you 🤍🌼
This song evokes something in me I cant even explain. Its hit me harder than any song has in a long time. Her vocals are captivating and angelic right from the start and pure throughout and the emotion in her voice as she sings "I just want you to be happy ! Nothing else is as important as that to me! " gives me chills. The overlap with that refrain is sooo perfectly done. Also the changes in this song and the transitions where the guitar parts come in heavy are fucking amazing. God this song and album are such works of art.
I've cried to this song already a couple times
Love the song. So dreamy. Reminds me a bit of the cocteau Twins
The best ❤
When I first heard this song, I enjoyed the melody & production. Much later I paid more attention to the lyrics. As I listened to the lyrics I just felt a complete wave of emotion.
I am presently addressing & healing from childhood trauma. The lyrics of this song are helping me to heal. "to live in fear is not to live at all". This refrain stuck in my head & it was like a switch went, I just knew, now was the time to get the help I so badly needed. I want to make things ok and I want to make myself happy.
Thank you Wolf Alice for writing a song that's providing the sound track to my healing ❤
I actually can’t stop listening to this song. I’ve tried putting on different music. This song is just hitting all the right frequencies for me lol
Same . Other music just doesnt sound as powerful as this album and this song in particular. It's making me only want to listen to it also
Same for me too. It's sublime. Have a lovely evening 😊
Brilliant artists and the borrowed Fleetwood mac pounding baseline kills makes this a true rocker!!! Hands down best band right now snd for so many years to come!!!
Best song in 2021
Honestly I'd say 2021 had a whole bunch of great songs by a number of different artists, but this one in particular is most certainly one of the top three of the year.
This song gives me Hope! Bless all that read this!!!
Fantastic song, reminds me of stuff from the 80s when music was good
I'd say this song and the album it's on are proof that good music is still being produced, and I'm a _huge_ fan of '80s music. You just gotta know where to find it these days, 'cause it won't be played on the radio. Thankfully, the internet is a wonderful tool in regards to finding new music that's actually good.
Since you like this track, I suggest checking out these modern groups/artists: Pond (their new album, _9,_ is a masterpiece), Tennis, Beach House, GUM, Best Youth, Neon Indian, Cut Copy, Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils, Miami Horror, Stray Fossa, Matt Berry, Sports, Django Django, Small Black, Real Estate, Still Corners, The Zephyr Bones, Drug Store Romeos, Ty Segall, Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, San Cisco, bdrmm, Foster the People, Jay Som, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Hoops, Kevin Krauter, MGMT, Pool Holograph, Great Mountain Fire, Soccer Mommy, and Shiny Joe Ryan. It's all great stuff and there's bound to be a bunch of tunes you'd enjoy.
their best song
I'm loving the feel good vibes of this track! Such a sweet melancholy sound.
I am timing my family dinner round this! I'll cook once I've had my wolf Alice fix xxx
my favourite Wolf Alice is has always been The Wonderwhy, and I think this song is its partner. The main chorus of The Wonderwhy has the lyrics 'don't leave me here when I'm not sold', and I never understood what that meant. In this song, Ellie sings, 'how do we sell you the world' and 'someone like you should not be left unsold'. I was brought to tears when I made the connection that being 'sold' means being convinced that living in this world is a good thing.
