Ben sings this song sadly - different take than Alvvays! Nice contrast! Glad I found it.
On first glance, thought you said "Ben sings this song badly". Was getting ready to fight you.
@@CallMeTyroooone a comment made 1 year after the video upload, a reply made 2 years after that comment, and mr replying to that 2 years after... RUclips its cool 😎
And now 2 years later for me! :o
Words cannot express how happy I am that this exists.
Those first few lines probably hit him close to home. You can tell he connects to this song
SirThomasPicklesXXIX It's almost like something ben would have written...
Also, Alvvays is a girl-fronted twee pop band, kind of like Zooey's She & Him.
The first few lines of the piano part sound like Different Namrs for the Same Thing
Wow, beautiful but felt like the opposite direction of Alvvays - whereas the lyrics themselves ride a line of heartache and longing, Alvvays' music gives it a playful lift. Gibbard rides out the melancholy of those lyrics. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
+Kyle Wiley Good ol' Ben! I'm sure Mark Kozolek would heartily agree with you and probably sing it the same way
I usually love bands who produce "happy sad" songs because, in my mind, that's just life: a happy sad thing
Kyle Wiley yeah... It's perfect for my situation. It sucks in a really beautiful and heart wrenching way.
Ugghhhhh
That shits deep man
Very well said!
Ben is phenomenal. Loved this song when it came out and still do, but only discovered this cover last week. His interpretation of it is melancholy and full of hope and defeat and it’s just perfect. If anyone hasn’t seen it, seek out Ben playing Cath but solo acoustic. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.
I fail to realise how sad Alvvays' lyrics are until someone else covers it. The same thing happened when Choir! covered In Undertow
Next of kin is also a sad one
Red planet also
Another stunning reimagination by Ben Gibbard, I saw this in my timeline and was wondering how the hell a male piano/vocal version of this song could work but he kills it.
He sounds so much like the death cab for cutie guy omg
I think he sounds more like the guy from The Postal Service
Are you kidding?
Michael and Keegan please say You’re both kidding and if you’re not you both have a really good ear
@@helena21ism no.
They’re not kidding. Sounds like both those guys. Also sounds like that Ben folds guy too. More like the death cab and postal service guys tho
Maaaaaaan anyone else get goosebumps?
I gotta say this really touched my soul. Like I don’t have any other words to describe it. Gibbard is so talented.
Excellent, Excellent.Thanks for your reimagining of the "Canadian National Anthem." Mr.Gibbard does an excellent job with his phrasing. His solo piano adds a starkness to a an already minalmist song.
who put these onions here
nice! it highlights the understated excellence of Alvvays lyrics
It like what iron and wine did with his song from the postal service...such great heights...slowed it down and made it his own... brilliant 🍷🤙
trying to figure out how to repeatedly loop this song everywhere I go for the rest of my life thx
Caroline Foyle put it on your player
This is simply an amazing cover! His voice is so mellow and I love the slowed down, after hours take on this song. I could listen to this on repeat all day. It's become one of my favorite videos here.
I love the little tapping of his foot during the bridge. I've performed originals on piano, and that intimate detail as well as the personalization of it instantly transports me to heartfelt talent show performances. I love the interpretation of this otherwise heavily-prodiced song, especially by a favorite.❤🧡💛
My fiance sent me a link to this vid. and yes, my name is Archie.
to Pearl, my baby, yes! I will marry you!
Archie Nytmare woohoo! Happiest girl! I love you
theblank9 the fact that you proposed to me through Ben Gibbard warrants a definite "yes" from me. You are a keeper baby. I love you.
Archie Nytmare lucky you lol
mark beard i know.
theblank9 baby
Oh god i wish i could feel something like he does
The artist is a prism through which light separates into colors. If you listen to Alvvays' version you get happiness and joy, a vast, cool, sunny experience.
If you listen to this guy's you get depression, misery, great grief and despair.
the addition of the o yeh at the end is just :chefskiss:
I appreciate this cover more and more the more I listen to it.
Love the orig - this is a really great version - thank you so much for sharing 🌞
how am I only seeing this now!!! love this song and BEN
This cover reinforces my opinion that this a truly great song, though that opinion needed no such reinforcement.
Beautiful
Alvvays is awesome! This makes me so happy.
Alvvays. Maravilloso.
This video is how I discovered alvvays. Thanks Ben! And of course KEXP ❤️
This is fantastic! Great song and great version!
I don’t know why, but I’ve always interpreted this song tragically.
Like a divorced wife recalling when she married her husband in the days when they were young.
Or a widow who is recalling the days when her husband was alive and asked to marry her. Now he’s dead and she mourns.
Very lovely cover! Low key and mellow.
I love this Postal Service version
This was on the first mixtape that quite possibly the love of my life sent me... Recently, I decided we should just be friends because of our situation... But we are both so in love with one another... we always talked about how we always had to keep contact... We couldn't completely break contact. We're best friends. We always would be.
He essentially broke off our friendship yesterday... Or at least said he wouldn't text me for a while... Because of the situations we are both in... he felt like he was holding me back from being with someone who could completely be there for me...
We knew each other for 3 months... What an insignificant amount of time... Amazing how in my life span of almost 431 months, 3 months will forever be engrained in my being... deep into my soul...
I remember hearing this song for the first time on the mixtape he sent me... My heart swelled as I realized that this guy that I was so into, did infact feel the same... I couldn't believe my luck... How did I get so lucky to meet him?
He feels so deeply for me... How can someone so beautiful feel this deeply for me?
I have no idea how I'm going to get over him, and quite honestly I don't want to...
I hope he really meant it when he said I wouldn't hear from in a while and hopefully that means not forever, and we can be friends again...
All these years of searching... And I found you... I finally felt complete... But it was more than that. You made me see the beauty in myself. It wasn't this obsession with trying to please you. It was more I liked who I was when I was with you. I looked into your eyes, and I saw my reflection and through your viewpoint, I could see my own beauty.
We met at the wrong time in our lives... Perfectly matched puzzle pieces... With the rest of the puzzle gone missing...
Regardless, I am happy you came into my life... You will always be in my heart, mind and soul.
I heart you...
I will always love you.
I will never forget you.
😍😘❤️💙💜💋💔
I'm 3 years late but wherever you are,I hope you've found the one for you now.
oh shit this is beautiful
maan you're the best. you really are the best.
So cool when an Artist with a spotlight shines some light on those in the dark.
I was there and wish I could be there again.
beautiful x
A-R-C-H-I-O
Archio
Herman Gummesson lol
it actually was A-R-C-H-I-E 𝑜𝒽 𝓎𝑒𝒶𝒽, listen closely :p
his voice amazing
My girl died before I could marry her. This melancholy arrangement is It. Happy songs are so false.
Im sorry about that, my girl (ex) dumped me before I could propose. 3 years I spend dating her and she simply walked away from me. So I rest my case and agree with you and I will say and conclude that happy songs are so false.
LOVE this song ee yay
Love the cover
Unexpected but nice pairing!
its a good take! ❤️
This makes me wish I was gay and had a boyfriend named Archie who I could propose to playing this
I kinda feel the same way! And Ben is too good, tooo goood.
Hehe. I'm gay , and kinda wanna play this for my boyfriend eventually... (I also live in the same city Alvvays is from!)
No one's named Archie in my arrangement, but fuck it. God I love this song and that boy...!
just change it to marry me arbys
I think you can change the name jajajajaj
Pete Shylenko ikr archie definitely don't want to commit to marriage
So well done.
Love the song, and Gibbard too, he's alright :)
my favorite song too. i like this guy
I remember when i covered this song coz I was crushing so hard
Fabulous!!
Awesome
Great band to cover, good cover, cheers.
Interestingly, on the 2nd "hey" of the chorus, Ben is singing half a step down from the original, which gives it its much more meloncholy vibes. He sings E - B (in whatever key this is) while the original is B - G (in A major). If the original matched Ben, then it would be B - F# !
So if you hear it clearly could u pls tell me that whole chord progression? Greets)
this was played on shuffle and i stopped whatever i was doing because of how good it sounded
I love this in exactly the way I love Julien Baker's covers (which is quite a lot, but specifically: taking melancholy lyrics that are generally sung upbeat and doing it in a way that really draws attention to the melancholy). Which -- I know they've collabed and it makes sense.
beautiful
If a guy sang this to me ❤️
come ere i'll sing it to ya babe
shouldn't this song the other way around?
I'm straight and I'd give a guy a shot if he sang this to me.lol
Love.
cool
i also highly recommend the flyte cover, too.
Holy shit that was amazing
Fantastic
Wow wow wow
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. It's alright I suppose. Whatever....
the beginning kind of sounds like different names for the same things
You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
You've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
We spend our days locked in a room, content inside a bubble
And in the nighttime we go out and scour the streets for trouble
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
During the summer, take me sailing out on the Atlantic
I won't set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic
So honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Too late to go out, too young to stay in
They're talking about us living in sin
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, A-R-C-H-I-E, hey
the guitar chord progression is C G Dm F I think
If you think this is the saddest version you haven't heard Flyte's cover of Marry Me Archie yet
Alvvays hit regresses into "Wedding Bell Blues".
..when artists do art
excuse me where can i get the piano sheet music to this thanks
Getting some Neil Young vibes
Anybody have the chord progression to this? Sounds like he uses a different than the original version.
Love his interpretation, better than the original IMO!
apa aja bisa dibikin sedih ya bang
С кайфом!
I thought it was,tea leaves on a bubble lo
Any song gibbard touches, his version is immediately superior.
I would love to learn this song on the piano, but I can't find the sheet music for it anywhere!
d, a, em, g, that's basically the whole song minus the bridge which just goes between em and g.
This is great.. Ben gibbard is a talented musician. Not like the famous artists nowadays who only have good looks
Haha what? Yeah if your talking about famouse Pop artists.. then yeah, i suppose..
Ben is great. He s no Molly. No likey.
Did a cover of this on my sound cloud, it is rachweeks. You guys might like it:) bye
I actually looked you up! You're really good! Solid cover! I love what you did with the bridge.
Hey! Wow really? Thanks!
You're quite good, Rachel! Great cover.
thank you so much for checking it out:) really appreciate it
Could you be a sport and post a reply if you do any more cool songs?
Really takes the joy out of the original
insIIOEIDe
what chords is he using
Solo moly tiene voz para cantar a la perfección esta canción
geovani santillan pues el lo hace perfecto tambien
Shoulda been "Marry Me, Molly"
There's always some 'douche' guy in the crowd who has to yell out some weird screech or scowl of appreciation... Freaks
He's managed to take all the emotion in the original, and leave it out.
I love this sing too but face it guys, Alvvways does a better job. Plus it’s a girl who needs to sing it mainly because the melody is lost.
dude is gunna have a hunchback by age 60. yikes.
These melancholic covers are the worst and they all sound the same.... Not an art at all to meke a great song sound this bad
Just reported this as a hate crime
Boring.
its weird to see a guy sing this in a conservative country... i dont mean anything in offense but i just feel awkward... thats just my opinion
Von Biay True, but this is just a song talking about love instead of explicit sexual situations so anybody can really sing this song because it's meaning is of true importance, Archie is a guy but it's more of a "person".
potvwsyrup 93 thanks for the reply now I learned something new about this beautiful song ;)
This sucks
