    reading through these comments gets me frustrated so i have to speak up. i've known sam and rado since jr. high. they haven't changed in the slightest over the years. still very grounded and have endless creativity. contrary to speculation, sam nor anyone in the band does any drugs. except the pot. sam has always been a very skinny guy. the band tours for months on end in a van. vegas one night, san diego the next, etc. they work very hard to bring joy to your ears. appreciate it.

      Thanks for this comment! I probably saw them five years ago as an opener for another band I was seeing. Didn't know them at all, but my pal told me we should go early and see them. They put on an awesome show! Music aside, it was an honest-to-goodness Rock Show. I could dig it.
      Last night ended up watching Tim Heidecker and Rado on What's in My Bag? And I was like "Oh yeah, Foxygen!" Had forgotten about them. Rado seemed very genuine, like a good dude.
      So, thanks for sharing your comment. No time for negative energy comments and I'm glad I haven't seen them. But when I saw them live, they seemed anything but put on. Sure, they have clear influences, but that doesn't mean they aren't solid and hard working and fun musicians.

      Who does the mixing for them? Do they oversee it themselves? This song is masterfully orchestrated and mixed. I LOVE how there is a barely audible bass and, I think, the bass string on the guitar, playing throughout. It's such a subtle touch --- subtle undertones. Reminds me of some of Fleetwood Mac's songs. You can listen to some of their songs for years, and then listen for the first time with headphones and you hear faint, subtle undertones you NEVER had noticed before.

    Sam and Rado are the most underrated geniuses of their time. I see them more as cinematic musical hyper-creative directors rather than a band. Everything they put into the public is very well thought out aesthetically. I wish they got more widespread appreciation.

      I agree but star power was supposed to be the album they were supposed to get even better then 21st ambassadors but instead they regressed into their old recording style and it really hurt them. Instead of progressing they just kept doing what they did when they were kids and most people expect bands to get better but not here

      30 seconds into this song, I was convinced that this was a cover but with original lyrics. But I guess not? At least the group admitted in a Pitchfork interview that they often lift stuff from other artists' songs.

    And how you thought that I would make it
    Now you were the one for me, yeah
    [Chorus]
    How can you really love someone who can't love you
    How can you love someone you can't leave
    It's my fault, it's your fault too
    How 'bout you go and find somebody who can love you
    When I wake up in the morning
    How long until you roll in my dreams
    But how I learned not to care
    If you're not the story that's easily seized
    And how can you treat me so badly
    If you love me don't treat me so mean
    Cause I'm... darlin', politely asking
    Can't you see all the pain that I'm in
    It's gettin' pretty hard to make it
    That's all the time for me, and for you

    Can't you see all the pain that I'm in
    It's gettin' pretty hard to make it
    That's all the time for me, and for you
    How can you really love someone who can't love you
    How can you love someone you can't leave
    It's my fault, it's your fault too
    How 'bout you go and find somebody who can love you
    How can you really love someone who can't love you
    How can you love someone you can't leave
    It's my fault, it's your fault too
    How 'bout you go and find somebody who can love you
    How can you really love someone who can't love you
    How can you love someone you can't leave
    It's my fault, it's your fault too
    How 'bout you go and find somebody who can love you
    How can you really love someone who can't love you
    How can you love someone you can't leave
    It's my fault, it's your fault too
    How 'bout you go and find somebody who can love you

    Fantastic song! The track sounds like it's been recorded straight outta the 60s. I just wish the vocals were a little louder. Either way, I can't wait to get the album and see these dudes live in October!!

      This was basically recorded in 1972 by Todd Rundgren with a slower tempo

    I couldn't help but think that Sam looks like Christopher Owens in this video. Especially with the cropped top
