I'm 71 and I like this whole lot.
U know these are his mom an dad's home movies from the 70s , the pregnant girl at the beginning is his mom, he's in her belly , those were the times ,ehh?
@@johnkuipers8625 very cool!
Yeeeeaaa you do
Any connection with the Fleshtones?
I love this; everyone looks so happy.
I stumbled on this video by pure happenstance...i just heard pretty pimpin on the radio and i wanted to show my buddy the video, then he asks me if kurts got any other cool music, just happen to pick this one maybe because of the title ? who knows. so i start watching it and i immediately recognized where all of this footage was from ! it's circa 71-73 ish mostly all filmed at a so cal beach by the name of topanga point, just north of santa monica. at the time, this spot was very private and very local and the residents didn't take kindly to strangers hence if you didn't know anyone who didn't live there or weren't invited to surf there by a resident, you weren't getting in. i was friends with a kid who's in some of this footage and i recognize many of the people shown here, some of them i knew very well. some are not here any longer. there is also footage from santa monica canyon which is south of topanga. i was the same age as most of the youngsters, we all looked the same back then, surf/skate rats with long blond hair (that's actually me sitting with a group of girls at 4:37 i'm in the red striped shirt). seeing all of our young faces is very strange, like being in a time a capsule. it was a very magical time. all any of us wanted to do or really cared about was surfing, skating and partying as shown in the footage. soon after this was filmed the state evicted all of the residences from topanga point. all the houses were torn down and today it's a state beach open to the public which is good i guess. but seeing this footage really brings me back to a time in my life that i'll never forget. i have no idea how or why kurt picked this footage for this song but i think he made a very good choice, thanks kurt!
That's such an awesome story man seriously I'm glad I read that
Awesome man. Thanks for sharing
Cool thanks for the story.
Love it 😻😻😻 thanx for sharing 👍
Thank you for sharing your memories of this place with us.
I appreciate this to the utmost degree
I read this while i heard this in the song :o
Lol
Lol hell yeah
Hahaha yes
Well i am fucked and love him.
I remember 1974 , I had just moved from Marin county down to LosAngeLes ! Surfing , MotoCross, SkateBoarding, BMX , Hot Rods , RoLLerRinks, Drive-Inn movies , BackYard Parties , Westwood ViLLage nights , Van Nuys cruise nights , aLL the fun and WiLd Kids , FamiLies enjoying the Sunshine . . .
Why do I feel so joyful but yet get all teary eyed and nostalgic and sad every time I hear this song? It's a mystery. But thank you Kurt. It's a masterpiece.

Is there something in particular about the song that makes you feel that way? For me, it has an easy, breezy feel. Comfortable and no frills, like putting on an old pair of your favorite jeans.
Kurt writes long jams. Nobody does that anymore. He is so good.
I think we've listened to this song well over 100 times since it was released. Sometimes we just loop it. Perfect song. Perfect vibe. Upbeat and melancholy at the exact same time, like most of his catalog.
Last summer's vibes. Hopefully this summer as well. Lake Erie watching the Sun go down. Private beaches, bonfires and parties in hop fields. Tree visualizations with lights. What a summer.
:) In other words, a"high functioning STONE ".
This summers vibes ❤
Kurt Vile is the voice of all the airheads and the dreamers out there!!! Keep your head in the clouds, the view up there is something else :))
:) YOURE RIGHT!
Kurt is such a chill human being.
Crazy world we live in. This music is so down to earth. Bless Kurt my dearest friend
Cold miserable day lockdown in Bristol England so listening to Kurt to warm me up
There's such a natural flow of consciousness in his lyrics that I find really refreshing and honest. I'm more amazed he's remembering these lyrics during live sets, lol.

I listen to Kurt on my long-distance bike rides and the experience is nothing short of euphoric. Drifting through different towns, rain & shine, with my head phones blasting Kurt Vile. His music is sort of the soundtrack to my life. I mean, Pretty Daze changed my life. So above all else I think I look forward to new Vile material the most. So I can’t wait for October
same here man, the war on drugs, Kurt Vile, Smashing Pumpkins, Bonobo, Mogwai, Ryan Adams, Toro y Moi, Jon Hopkins... great music for touring !!
Mr. H. - Kurt Vile and Smashing Pumpkins are two of all time favs. Never realized there was any spiritual connection between the artists, but there must be somethin similar. modest mouse and deftones for me as well
you should try tiny cities by Sun Kil Moon, the album is composed of covers of songs by Modest Mouse.
I pressume I've got exactly the same feelings like you riding on my bike :)
Yeah! Me too :-D Vile's tunes are perfect for bike rides. Cheers from Porto Alegre, Brazil!
One of the best songs of all time. Listened about a million times and never get bored of it.
I just heard this for the first time playing on the speaker at Macy's. I was alone in the Home department. For some reason, there was something poignant about that moment standing there alone in a dying department store listening to this calming music.
Which macys?
Wow man that’s fucking 😎 cool
What at a trip
Wow! He's really arrived if he's on dept. Store muzak ! In Calif. We got 1 station that only plays his duet with the late John Prime. Hope that's gonna change!! I actually discovered a CD of his in the library couple years ago. Wondered where he'd been so long .
John Prine
The feeling of this song is a blissful, resigned contentment. Yet, so beautifully soul-enriching.
,
oh my God. kurt. thank you!
The most healing music I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Please don’t stop. You give me hope and confidence. I don’t want to crush anything or anybody I just want to fight for the nature, beauty, all the old stuff that I grew up believing mattered even at our own human expense thanks You tube. Just lets me down my self into the where I am at now. Oh maybe too difficult for you to understand. Never Mind was what I was always taught.
No, I totally understand. How does he do it, I wonder? It's magic. I know of no other artist like him. Music is an expression of one's spirit.....I'd sure like to know him to try and understand better.
.
I appreciate this song, and everyone, to the utmost degree. This song brings my tribe right to me. What a joy. A truly uplifting, nostalgic song, with a bittersweetness and soul. I can’t imagine a world without this song.
I appreciate this comment to the utmost degree. Couldn't have been expressed better. I love you whoever you are.
Beautiful Comment
This is one of my favourite songs. I love your music Kurt.
This already feels like a timeless classic. Man he's so good.
@Paul Hermes I agree with you! Sounds already a classic.
true
Stoned, think I'll sit here for a while
the point of euphoria with his music, for me, comes when you realize he can fixate on a melody and explore it with different strings with different textures. it'll be the same chords and pattern but it's like he looks at it from 50 different angles and takes you through every iteration of that theme.
animal collective are the masters of this…. Check out Sung Tongs

@Name Face lol why are you posting your stuff on every comment

Great comment
This make me cry. Remembering my lovely dog...
This song is so good. And it gets better and more emotionally powerful the more you listen to it.
I was typing on my laptop and thinking about this song when a bug crawled up the power cord. I can't squish a cute little bug, so I scooped it up to take it outside. I went downstairs, opened up the front door and let the bug fly away ... then I looked down on my front steps and there was a delivery package ... and this CD was inside :)
i read it in Kurts voice and to the meody of this song. It fits
Thank You Jeanne, I will pay it forward. signed one happy bug. Bugs are misunderstood says the bug.
Beautiful, auspicious. 🌈🪐
This was the best thread I've seen all day. It hits. 🙌
You my friend are a good human and the galaxy rewards good humans, usually. Great lil story. Thanks for sharing.
This makes me feel nostalgia for a time that never existed... I dont know how to explain it.
it's nostalgia of a time when things felt possible. its not nostalgia of a specific time per se
Listen to Boards of Canada
I know that feeling
it's called "the 70's"
@Mark Tito Me too... 💗
La canción más relajante que he escuchado en años, preciosa, aun durando casi 10 minutos no te cansas , al contrario, podría seguir otros 10 más.
This song & video hit me right in the heart. Early 70's counter culture. No cares in the world. I was there.
Reminds me of Lou Reed. Thank you TH-cam algorithm ~
An absolutely charming atmosphere, a tune which takes you by the hand for a ride and you want it to never stop. Just discovering.
just listened to this on the local radio.. No idea whos Vile Kurt but I am a fan of him now.. Goosbums ... what a song
Gotta love 10-minute songs that don't outstay their welcome. Stoked for the new record.
Im feeling this song so much...and i just wonder what happend with those young people in the video...and how they had their own problems and weight of being alive and i reflect on myself and people around me...how we are soo small...all those problems fade with our existence and in the end there comes another people with similar problems and thoughts...so people dont worry...fact is that we are here just temporary...so enjoy in little things...and dont forget to hug your dog on your way out...
A song hasn't got me this chilled in a long time
On fuckin ice bruh
Recommend after this to feel the void and past the mourning into dope lemon afffterwards
this song played, a lot, over Labour Day weekend, as my old dog became paralysed in old age, and we waited for Tuesday and the Vet's final visit. No direct lyrical connection. But the melancholy sound made time go 'bassackwards' as I recalled the 15 years of changes he had helped me through. I will always think of Boz when I hear this
Stuart, your comments made me melancholy too... I’ve known of this song for awhile but hadn’t ever seen this video until this moment. I was thinking the sweet pups and cat, and probably some of the people, have long passed. I lost my 84 year old Dad to dementia last May, then my best buddy Rocky ( 10 year old Newfie Black lab mix) to a stomach tumor in August…To this day I hear him breathing comfortably at night as I sleep, and his nails clicking on the wood floors…plus I dream he kisses my face as I sleep. A coworker told me, “Hey, your Dad called him home to keep him company.”
I was pretty taken aback by that…A neighbor (a very cool hippie like woman) told me that like humans, an animal’s spirit ( the animals with emotion intelligence) NEVER dies;It simply cannot, and the spirit lives openly within us….Another fellow whom with I chatted said when we all pass, we are going to see all of our beloved human and animal friends in the setting similar of “a beautiful stream on a grassy path” where we will all be in our peak of health , happy, and enjoying each other’s company in a perpetual state of joy….like being on vacation at the lake…..I miss my beloved ones often, but they are my guardian angels for the time being, until I get to see them again. May you have comfort and peace too my friend….Be well, Shawn in California 🙏🏻🤙🏼😎
@@FIGGY65 thank you Shawn. Your dream of Rocky kissing your face as you sleep, cut deep. I slept on the floor beside Boz on what was his last night on Earth. At one point in the night I woke with a start, or felt I did, to see Boz sitting up and looking down into my face. He was paralyzed by then and incapable of sitting up. But I felt he was. He saw me through the breakdown of my marriage, divorce, healing, and eventual move cross country to a new life. All with such a calm grace, and giving me a purpose to move on. I sure ly hope to see him again.
Hello Stuart,
My sincerest apologies for not replying in kind to you immediately after you replied to me-somehow this feed was overlooked. Anyhoo, I’m just seeing it now as I went on a KV rampage in the last few days!
This video popped up and I started scrolling through the comments and saw what I’d written 9 months ago!
I so appreciate you sharing your thoughts and perspective with me here; your story touched my heart. Boz and Rocky are probably romping around in the snow or woods, having great times with all of the other great furry friends of us humans.
I hope this finds you well. Be blessed and stay safe! Shawn
Been listening since KEXP started playing him years ago, God bless this man.
Found this song lying in a hammock on an acid trip. Wow is about all I can say.
How does it sound with out the trip to you? I’ve never tripped and listened to it. It is fantastic while enjoying a refer, so I’m curious
Kurts stuff definately suits! Like a time travelling trip sitter.
@jeremybaca9619 listening to it normally, it gives me a more melancholic, nostalgic feeling. But during the trip, the sound of the reversed guitars and the synths that come in, idk they just do something man. But the first time I heard it and listened to lyrics, I honestly thought it was about how it feels to be tripping. Lol.
I was standing down but I was also on the run.. in my mind. Felt that right there
KV = way to be melancholic without being depressing
explain
Nailed it. He hits such a sweet spot of the soul.
That's impossible both those words mean the same thing
Yeah they kind of do according to the dictionary, but I think a melancholic state has a somewhat calmness and contentment with your feelings, but a state of depression has more darkness and despair.
I know and feel the difference. Seems like 47 others currently do too.
This song sparks feelings of nostalgia within me, both happy and sad, and so beautifully well. Thank You Kurt Vile.
Amo tu música Kurt❤, hace que me sumerja en un vibra hermosa, siento que estoy en la playa, con el sol de California dónde todo está bien 🙌🙏 Gracias
A brilliant blend of ambient drone and bluegrass set against a wistful contemplation of time in and out of mind. KV makes this world a better place, and I am thankful.
Glenn Ezard , with those beautiful baroque style progressions and melodies. Almost Broken Social Scene tinged.
“And I appreciate [you] to the utmost degree,” based on the thoughtfulness of your words alone, my distant friend.
Tarah Griffith, completely. Agreed!
life was so much better without cell phones, iphones, and the internet - i feel very bad for folks who grew up never experiencing life without cell phones and the internet - imagine interacting with others directly - imagine going to concerts without corporate sponsorship at venues without corporate pay for names - now, it's a matter of balance between the new and the old - i first heard this song listening on the radio (old tech), but then here i am with new technology - thanks god we still have good music!
*Constant Hitmaker* brought me here 10 years ago.
Love seeing this guy evolve.
YES!! Love seeing old school Vile fans!
I love seeing an amazing musician I've been following for so long getting the succes he deserves.
Anthony Poschet Absolutely! What a journey man.
One of the greatest songs ever written 🙌
Absolutely euphoric tune
this makes me nostalgic for a place and time that ive never been...
Your music gives me hope. Recall just this evening when an unknown man smashed in our windows due to a Heroin addiction my partner had that I wasn’t aware of. Why? Because he led me to believe everyone else was wrong. I recall standing alone with an extreme threat as a guy smashed our windows and I I said ‘what in gods name do you think you’re doing’ even as he stood with his hammer through the window he looked startled at my response. Me. A weak disabled woman. Where does our strength come from at times like that I’ll never know
@nameface6934 What's with the spamming of the same message over and over?
.
Because standing for something is better than standing for nothing. If not, why are we even here? Hope things are better now or a least stabilized for you!
.
This is UTTERLY Brilliant in Every WAYYYYY!!!! Just Amazing!!!
One of the best songs of all time. Listen to it all the time.
What a beat and a groove, incredible!! Could just listen to this all day.
Dreamy.............. where did I put my beer?
Seriously, dreamy, sureal, my top ten for the decade, listen often, thank you.
I'll never understand how its possible to create something so perfect.
The idea of the song, the song, the video, that it lasts so long. just genius.
Maybe its the Gin talking but its in the top ten ever right now.
So much so my friend.
It’s been on-loop for the last hour. Will be in my playlist for my lifetime.
My tequila said the exact same thing, huh.
Kurt Vile you are the man!
Honestly never noticed how long this song is until now, that’s how good it is
How wonderfull and cool vibe this music has! So nostalgic.. How I miss my old youth...
a 9 minute song but not a second wasted.
Agreed 100%
or...9 minutes that felt like a cross between a few moments and eternity
Thirty One love it.. First time I listened to this song.
@Thirty One Absolutely!
Kurt Vile’s music saved my life and continues to do so as time wears on and he releases new material. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for KV.
We need to stay awhile. Perhaps, a long while. Share it.
Yeah, glad you're still around. Stay awhile. 😊
its so beautiful.Makes me cry
9 minutes and 46 seconds of pure bliss.
I appreciate him....to the utmost degree
Heard this yesterday in my favorite bar in Tucson. It’s so damn beautiful.XX
Yes. So beautiful.
Literally just sitting at a pizza parlor with my family when we heard this. This isn't even our preferred genre yet we're hooked. 🤣
Your lucky to have a family much love to y’all❤️
Not the first to say this by any means, but...seriously Kurt is our generation's Bob Dylan. And that's meant as a huge compliment.
Of all the Kurt Viles in the world, Kurt Vile is the Kurt Viliest. :-)
Such a great song. Just discovered this guy last night, I think i need to get out more.
I am jealous that you just discovered him. You have so much to enjoy. Go check out the war on drugs as well.
@@nathanadkins5288 will do thanks for the tip.
Not right now, matey..
The only 10 minute song where I thought it's too short. Cos appreciate it to the up most degree.
I think you’d like one Sunday morning I Wilco
I'm 22 years old I have a friend online that recommended this song to me who is 36 he said this song spoke to him like no other and you know what that is absolutely true I would kill to be alive back then people back then just had more opportunities than what we have now this technologie really hit us hard But you could also say that we have more opportunities than ever because of technology But I truly believe that the cones outweigh the pros
this man is my comfort blanket. feel like I am always somewhere sunny or a cozy cabin with a bunch of your good old time friends.
Amazing takes me back to those Topanga days ✌️ ☮️
Loved this more than anything ... can’t get enough watched it 5 times!!
Love the song 🎶!! Loved all the familiar faces 🌈🌞
It made me feel so happy ...Just so perfect..🏄🏽🌸 take me back!!!
Kurt Vile is single handedly saving Rock n Roll for an Entire generation.... His melodies, overlays, progressions and arrangements are as legendary as the all time rock n roll greats. Bassackwards is easily a song that could have been on The Beatles Sargent Peppers or Magical Mystery Tour albums.... KV is going where The Beatles could have gone.......or it could be Lou Reed, or Tom Petty.. These guys are not dead, they are alive inside of Kurt Vile. PURE GENIUS.
Are you sure?
Colin-- Yes Yes, that's the beauty of KV's music.... You can hear his influences in his own sound.... It's Beautiful Man...
Fuck off
As a fan of all the bands you just mentioned I would have to disagree with you. I appreciate how much you like Kurt but he's not on the same level as The Beatles. Maybe the others, okay. But to say he's single handedly saving rock is a strong statement. I'd say more opinion rather than fact. There are lots of good bands still putting out Rock. You just have to look a little deeper. Of course this is just my own opinion. Have a good day
@@Cosmikwheels you clearly have no knowledge about modern music. They changed the very face of music. Everything from writing and recording to merchandising, music videos. They were the first to us guitars being played backwards and having to use arenas to play in. You sir are either stupid as fuck or just a sad attempt of trolling. Oh well either way your opinion is wrong and history has already proved you wrong. Good day
Saw this one live tonight, looooved it ❣️❣️❣️
@Name Face quit it bro 😂
This video is an emotional roller coaster, thanks Kurt. RIP to the pups and the kitty.
I love listening to this with my dad and family this is the perfect song to relax to and have fun
I just discovered his music today 🙂 I feel so lucky ☺️
His best tune for ages. I like it when he just wanders along.
Wish someone appreciated me just now. But it’s just the way things are these days. Bless you for the pleasure you’ve given while I’m still alive x
Hang in there.....life is tough. I appreciate you, even though I don't know you. My appreciation is partially because of your candor. It takes guts to say what you said. Never forget that life is worth living even if it does not seem like it at times.
God bless you!
.
The boy in the meeeerrrror delivers yet again. Kurt Vile is the epitome of talent that is sadly missing from most music today
This could be his best album to date....
Digging the vibes man
in my opinion its nowhere near as good as smoke ring for my halo but still really fucking great
@shaman's flight agree
Very impressive!
To the utmost degree
Groovy and fresh ... the combination of the melody and video takes me places I haven't been in a while. Well done ...
Wow. This song brought me to tears.
it's not that bad
Just realised that there is the outline of a vinyl on the screen. Totally missed that until recently. Nice touch!
He’s a great producer. He knows what arrangements sound good
Beau rappel des vacances d'une autre époque pour tous dans les années 80, même un français comme moi....❤
This is like a time capsule enriched with beautiful music.
Kurt takes away the hurt.
🌤🪐🚀
Me encanta leer los comentarios y darme cuenta que las sensaciones y opiniones también las comparto. Lloro y siento nostalgia no sé de qué. Amo la voz y la guitarra de Kurt. Cambió mi vida musical. Yo crecí entre finales de los setenta y principios de los ochenta y vaya que Kurt tiene un refinado estilo que rescata lo que yo escuchaba de pequeña.
Arriba la música que mueve las entrañas!!
Me pasa igual, saludos 🙂
A mi me encanta que siga habiendo comentarios en español en videos donde usualmente comenta gente en el idioma de la canción 💝
Beautiful...
Looks like paradise - lots of doggos, the beach, boards, music and girls... all that a man needs.
The definition on a vibe
One of the things I love most about KV is his use of repetition. And I mean that in a positive way. Sometimes it sounds like acoustic loops. The War on Drugs sometimes do the same.....and yes I do know the connection.
I don’t like to use the word ‘genius’ very often as it’s so often misused but I think KV deserves the title.
@keith-leecastle6700 Like the droning of the tambura in some chill raga . you are transported away from where you are only to find the place is within yourself.
LOVE this.
An amazing song, wonderful insightful lyrics, and a film that captivates and fills me with memories. I truly love Bassackwards. Thank You Kurt.
Ive been playing this song on repeat all day. Great tune.
Best singer and best songs I've heard so far. Keep making them good song.
Kurt Vile and The War on Drugs are single handedly saving Rock 'n Roll.
The two together have only one hand?
@@babblebapp9887 no, kurt vile isn't with The War on Drugs. He was but only for their first album
This isn’t Rock & Roll man. Love Kurt but know your genres.
@@zeissvc1 Listen to the Ghost of Freddie Roach and come back when you're done.

Recently heard this song for the first time last year when I went camping by Santa Barbra. Very fitting for the setting
