R.I.P. Carey Lander (1982-2015)
+MrBfg586 Does she appear in this incredible video?
+Mitch Doran Yes, as Grafunkel with the afro wig.
Mitch Doran yeah I think that she is playing Art G.
we still missing her
😭😭😓
I’ve loved this band since I was a teenager here in Tempe AZ; I’m 40 now. I still can’t believe she died. I’ve lost my folks & my entire family, but her voice will always carry me…coincidence that her name is Carey?! Love from Aidan in AZ TO ALL who appreciate this lovely Scottish ensemble! Rip Carey.
It's bands like these that make me want to be in love.
Ingrid Rodriguez Sé a lo que te refieres, estos temas enamoran y ruborizan tu corazón de pasión. Una tarde de otoño, acurrucados en la cama después de hacer el amor, mientras el té hierve y la noche te acaricia al caer sin incidentes.
Same this song and ready to go steady by The Go Team
ha, gaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy
im jus foolin, alessis ark and elliott smith make me wish i could want to be in love/ fkitall
But ARE YOU ready to be heartbroken?
I fell in love with Tracyanne's songwritting when I first bought their first album, and with the light and honey and sadness in her voice. Wonderful band. I hope they will record together again.
I love her writing. It's so incredible and captures so much.
They have a new band. Tracyanne & Danny. Great album!
new record in May!
@@owenpattaylor Seeing in a few days!!! A month after finally seeing ALVVAYS, an awesome band they had a big influence on.
Discovering this band has been the sweetest thing...
Don't understand why this band don't get more air-time.All their songs and videos are brilliant
I would agree with you. They probably weren't ass kissers, which would explain why.
you said "air time" lol. I wish!
They were played all the time at a local radio station to Seattle WA called KEXP. It's how I found them.
I agree it's the under-rated songs that are the best. Society doesn't like them because they go against the trend. Shameful if you ask me.
R.I.P Carey love from Brazil ♥♫♥♫♥
+Gi Silva brasil porrraaaaa
+rike94 VAI CURINTCHIAAA UEHUEHUEHUEHUE
I found this song by accident. I was looking for U2 sweetest thing.
BEST ACCIDENT EVER.
+No Name No Face Sweetest thing by U2 is probably their only decent song.This is far better though.
No Name No Face All a matter of taste I suppose.
Fuckk your. Monitering systems me too, after that song, it played this on Spotify and I was definitely not disappointed.
Fuckk your. Monitering systems no it wasn't an accident😀
Fuckk your. Monitering systems same
Can't stop crying/smiling. RIP Carey. You made a brilliant Garfunkel.
R.I.P. Carey, we will always love you
This song is so bittersweet to me and can sometimes make me incredibly sad, for no particular reason. I love it for that.
Feel exactly the same my friend
But theres always a reason..
Well there is a reason.... Carrey died in 2015 of cancer... Her and Tracey always saw themselves as Simon and Garfunkel. And if you know Tracey you could imagine how much she must miss her partner in crime...
This group helped us hang on to the groovy feelings of the 90s for just a little bit longer...
Beautifully stated and, oh, so true! Peace, Sandy.
2010 unforgetable moment. This music video was played at the big screen of Sabuga, Bandung, Indonesia. Then one by one the member of CO came into the stage and the rest was a great history. I could watched one of my fave Glaswegian band in my hometown with only paid Rp 50.000 something that are very hard to happen again at today situation.
buset gocap 😭
@@fajarjarjarbinks1946 aslina dan itu termasuk band2 seperti pure saturday, dkk pokonya mah acara musik sponsor rokok mah moal gagal🤭
listen to this bands entire discography and youll fall in love, it happened to me
it usually takes time to digest and like their songs
Fernie Otis this is true.
I wonder how's that going 4 years later
this is one of my most favorite songs ever
im not going to write how im the biggest fan of the band when im not. but i can truly say that THE SWEETEST THING is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Carey Lander R.I.P
You can only imagine my sheerest delight in discovering this floating, surreal aural gem in a Target Store in Boston more than a year ago...
The Fleetwood Mac reference was good to see! There's this 70's kind of vibe to their music and video, I love it.
Ive been inlove with this band since 2005. I found them on myspace lol. And i was hooked.
Today makes it a year since she passed. Still can't believe she's gone. :(
Wow after hearing just three songs, this band has really grabbed me! Overall the sound strikes me as being similar to the Phil Spector "Wall of Sound". Musically it makes me think of The Association and other groups with soft sounds from around 1966 and 67. Keep up gang!
camera obscura will always remind me of freshman year of college. bike rides and picnics with my first love.
came back here to reminisce. i think it was 6 years ago when a person i met on an app introduced me to this song and mv when i was talking abt an ideal kitschy costume party that i always fantasize going to. we'd go to music gigs and even went on a trip for several days lol those were the times, i'm grateful i've met them at some point in my life and would wonder where they are now... but yeah i'll always think fondly of this song and band because of them. 💌
Watched this video for years. Still enjoy the music and appreciate the references to musicians & characters. ☕️☕️🎶🎵🎶
back again after six days. this is why music was invented, to let us live through such melodies
I love optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen.
This song reminds me of a very intense, fun and sad year of my life. Recalls a whole spectrum of feelings. I haven't been listening to them for years but it's still a fantastic song and album. I just learned that Carey Lander died in 2015. So sad! :(
the great season 2 soundtrack brought me here again 💛
I am thrilled that one of my favorite songs was on The Great soundtrack (season 2, ep 4)
It's amazing how her pain and heartbreak lead to such beautiful songs that always make me smile...thanks Tracyanne :)
sweetest thing is definitely one of the best songs
Heard this for the first time on radio 2 one eve about 5yrs ago and thought wow, haven’t stopped playing it since 🙂
Lyrics
I'm going on a date tonight
To try to fall out of love with you
I know, I know this is a crime
But I don't know what else to do
My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away
From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
You leave me pain
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
I laughed at the irony
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
It got lost on me
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much to write and sing
Oh, it was not a nice incentive
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my other to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my other to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
But she don't know just how far I'd go
Would I walk for a hundred miles for a glimpse of your northern smile?
I've never been so confused, dazed, made to smile, or charmed by a folksy music video.
Just now discovering them and I love her voice 😊
Love this song, just discovered it by accident. Simply love it,
Not quite sure how I surfed my way to this vid cause I am mostly an 80's hair and hard rock fan. That being said, I will check out some more music by this band...Have a good day peeps !
우연히 만난 이노래를 어렵게 찾아 하루종일 듣고 있네요 늠나 좋아요
First song I listened to from Camera Obscura. Great band, great music and Tracyanne's voice is so beautiful.
Okay, having checked out "Lloyd" because I hear it at work occasionally, I'm now on my third song by this band I've never heard of and they have scored every time. Very cool.
Don't let this group fall into the wrong hands.
I'm going on a date tonight
To try to fall out of love with you
I know, I know this is a crime
But I don't know what else to do
My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away
From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
You leave me pain
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
I laughed at the irony
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
It got lost on me
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much to write and sing
Oh, it was not a nice incentive
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my other to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my other to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
But she don't know just how far I'd go
Would I walk for a hundred miles for a glimpse of your northern smile
My anxiety has been cured
😂 👍😘
I love them! Especially her. She reminds me of my sister and her friends, they all wear mustaches to school lol. It takes balls to do that sort of silly but wonderful thing, I think lol.
Rest In Peace babe. Always love you
What a beautiful song. Now I am going to look up the lyrics.
R.I.P Carey Lander
also Doctor Who is life
I like the band and their music very good and her voice is beautiful
Her eyes are so soulful 💕💔💕💕
I always heard this song playing at the store I worked at inside Cesar’s Palace Forum Shops
I love Tracyanne even with a mustache! jaja... Those eyes ...
They're fantastic.
Fantastically beautiful to listen to.
I absolutely love her! her voice puts me in a dream state!
As a huge Simon & Garfunkel fan I love this video - great song too.
Wonderfully beautiful song.
What a superb voice she has , it melts your heart .
Love them.
Big kiss from Bangkok ;-)
Those first four lines, chills
this song is stuck in my head..... and i neverrr want it to leave! EVERRRR! thumbs up if you agree! XxXx
I love them.
This songs starts every morning with a smile.
Great video and song.I love this group.
Love the subtle mention of my hometown in this song.
Amazing!!!!
Well, just so you know, I love the video, and the French Navy video too. I think they work really well with the songs and Camera's Style. The montage of tiny clips creating a large overwhelming piece is brilliant. I find they have little gems of clips hidden that can grab you and tell the story of the song so well. Love them.
I'm in love with her voice :)
love the song! the beach boys beginning. This reminds me of a modern version of "Everything But the Girl"
I like this song!
Whether or not you like the video, you can't deny the song itself is glorious
I luv this song and these are great, great talented singers. I cannot get it out of my head! SO COOL. I shared it with everyone I know!
omg i am in love with this song
i love camera obscura♥️
this is on my fave bar...listen to it getting ready in the morning......I love her voice
I totally agree.
'your cousin'.... Touché! What a put-down. Will be nursing the wounds from that one for weeks.
Heard this eating At Boston market had to Shazam it love the melody 🎤🎼💯
Just come across this band as background music in my work , & now can't stop listening to their music
They are one of my favorite bands. loved them on first listen
Descansa en paz querida Carey
+Louis de Balzac porqué moreu?
+karateka381 ela tinha um tipo raro de cancer
Love this song S2
The Nordstrom Rack store I work at in Utah has the audio version of this song as part of the stores overhead sound track that plays each day. I assume it's on Rack stores nationwide. It's a tune that makes me smile every time it plays.
I love this song.. It makes me smile thinking of someone =)
de mis bandas favoritas, sin duda la banda sonora de mi vida
so good they should be massive but its great to love them while there so under appreciated
LOVE THIS SONG!!
50 dislikes? Those 50 must not like the sound of a angel's voice.
i love this song!
Beautiful and wholesome. Feelgood video for a feelgood song. Only shadowed by the fact Carey Lander's no longer with us. RIP
RIP Carey :(
i reeeeally love thissssss...soooooo much!!
It's nice to discover MV's like this.
Best accidental finding for a long time , love it ,
Soothing and playful music such as this makes me wanna fall in love.
What a great video...
Now, Sveta, I recall back in an email back in 2004 you had written your distaste, no contempt, for any man who calls you "sweet." Well, that was then and this is Now, dear...and I would love to show you just how sweet I regard you...you are the "sweetest..." 16 years later I have earned the right to say it
...SIXTEEN YEARS LATER I AM CONVINCED IT IS TRUE.
Another wonderful representative Wall of Sound...
@alepunk Actually, that individual is dressed as the fourth incarnation of the eponymous character of another British institution: 1970s Doctor Who. Identifiable by the iconic scarf. This is further supported by the drawing of a blue phone box, labeled "my house"
take me back to glasgow 2009
Im here because of “The Great”. Love it. ❤
Me too!
Great song btw❤
