its a scary thought, but it's also kind of wonderful. a butterfly flaps its wings and it starts to rain. all these little parts of the machine constantly working, making sure you end up exactly where youre supposed to be there. the right place, at the right time.
I think one of the interesting and energizing things about this song is that it begins by bursting into the chorus at full steam ahead without pittering around something else first.
Daniel Cropp I’m not, I actually am not a very good writer, ha. But I occasionally can identify why a song evokes something for me. Glad it resonated with some others.
I had sort of the opposite reaction to others in the comments. I'm a huge GBV fan and was incredibly and pleasantly surprised to hear this song on How I Met Your Mother. It's a fantastic song and I'm glad it's been exposed to the rest of the world.
Hey, glad girls only want to get you high And they're alright There will be no coronation There will be no flowers flowing In the light that passes though me Hey, glad girls only want to get you high And they're alright There will be no graduation There will be no trumpets blowing In the light that passes through me With the sinking of the sun I've come to greet you Clean your hands and go to sleep Confess the dreams Of good and bad men all around Some are lost And some have found The light that passes though me
i was looking for this song! i just love the part in himym where Ted goes to hug everyone during this song. he's just so happy and grateful for being in the right place at the right time.
saw them on this tour at The Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon . The dancefloor is on springs. I got Five Feet of Air during the show. There was literally 3 feet deep snow drifts of plastic beer cups at the end of the night.
Some bands are just too good to achieve mainstream success. There's just no way that the general public can get their heads around something so brilliant as GBV.
ThinLynottFan It took my girlfriend a few tries to get into them. The have a gigantic pool of material to sort through but yeah, not everyone's cup of tea.
This song is a timeless 3 1/2 minute rock opera & the finest kaleidoscope. Blow me away, never saw the video until this morning, what a work of art just like the music, the vocals & the lyrics ! 🍻🌟🍻👍🍻🌈🍻💖🍻🔥🍻💣🍻🎉🍻💥🍻✨
GBV and Robert Pollard brought me here...forget TV show that brought you here..listen to his entire catalog, the man is a pure rock god and best writer
How I Met Your Mother Season 4 Episode 22 "Right Place,Right Time" Don't forget kids,things that you think little and tiny can cause big results. Thanks HIMYM :)
the greatest moments in your life wont necessarily be the things you do, theyll also be the things that happen to you. now im not saying you can't take action to affect the outcome of your life, you have to take action, and you will. but never forget that on any day you can step out the front door and your whole life can change forever. you see, the universe has a plan kids, and that plan is always in motion.
I always thought this song was a tribute to The Who (I understand, Cheap Trick as well). Hear the Pete Townsend influence? And the background vocals in the bridge, "Whoo ooh ooh"!
All these little parts of the machine... constantly working making sure that you end up exactly where you're supposed be, exactly when you're supposed be there. The right place at right time
I've been thinking about a story for these lyrics for like a year now. The best thing I've come up with is the person who is the focus of this song is a serial killer, we're hearing his internal monologue and his narrating to the girl he's murdering all the things she's going to miss out on, and his reasoning why. "Clean your hands and go to sleep confess the dreams of good and bad men..." sounds like part of his ritual. This says more about me than the lyrics. I probably watched too much Dexter.

When Pollard gets it right, he really gets it right.
He rarely gets it wrong
Whoever was in charge of picking music for How I Met Your Mother, did an amazing job.
Right place, right time
MechanoMan The music style looks a bit like Nada Surf
I just watched the episode with this song and I was almost convinced this song was called 'Black girls'.
i thought it was 'clad girls' im not even sure if its word xD
ItsMikka GBV & Nada Surf share a band member in Doug Gilliard. 🤷🏻♀️
The light that passes through me brought me here...
When i'm angry, when i'm sad, when i'm happy, when i'm depressed I put on Guided By Voices and turn that shit all the way up.
Yes.
Song does not get old.

GBV are great at making insanely catchy and seemingly-upbeat songs that have a cryptic undercurrent of melancholy or darkness.
I think one of the interesting and energizing things about this song is that it begins by bursting into the chorus at full steam ahead without pittering around something else first.
very true. nice observation. are you a songwriter yourself? i've been writing for about a year and a half.
"Don't bore us, get to the chorus"
Thats great songwriting. A trick The Beatles used quite frequently.

I love the glam rock sound of this
Perfect Power Pop! Shudda binna hit. Everybody aged 5 to 105 would surely love this. Hook after hook after hook. My hat is off.
man, they manage to pack 5 or 6 distinct musical parts into this song, in under 3:30, and still leave you with the chorus stuck in your head. amazing.
Bob Pollard is an unearthly songwriting cyborg. No one else like him, especially in our shared hometown of Dayton, OH.
Hey, glad girls only want to get you high
And they're alright
There will be no coronation
There will be no flowers flowing
In the light that passes though me
Hey, glad girls only want to get you high
And they're alright
There will be no graduation
There will be no trumpets blowing
In the light that passes through me
With the sinking of the sun
I've come to greet you
Clean your hands and go to sleep
Confess the dreams
Of good and bad men all around
Some are lost
And some have found
The light that passes though me
Greatest song ever
The greatest power pop song of all time.
...is September Gurls. But this really IS number two, and that's saying something.
It’s up there for sure...
Top 5, definitely, but Nick Lowe would like a word…
This and Nick Lowe's So It Goes
Surrender, and this might be up there too
There was no graduation for the class of 2020. I miss cruising on the highway to this song back then, the good times just had to roll.
Guided by Voices brought me here.
who?
Arthur W. Pilla bad joke men
Drunk Uncle Bob brought me here 😁
for years i could never get into these guys, but this year the light finally came on. i'm so glad it did. brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
This is something around R.E.M.
Awesome song
legendary
super late to the bandwagon. i'm so glad i have friends who have great taste in music
One of the greatest music vids ever.
i was looking for this song! i just love the part in himym where Ted goes to hug everyone during this song. he's just so happy and grateful for being in the right place at the right time.
I had this on a mixtape at work once and one of my co-workers thought Pollard was singing "hey, hey, black girls!" That's right, a mixtape.
To be played at max volume in a ‘97 Sentra with no power steering at 89 mph
Verdade
Is there any other way to do it?
spot on hahaha
Best driving with windows down volume up song?
i think this is their best song, and ive pretty much heard them all multiple times. great video too. i was so proud of them when it was on himym!!
I need my charts!
Stellar

I heard of them through a Julian Casablancas interview. They're a bit meh IMO

ThinLynottFan I dig your screen name! I love Thin Lizzy!
Billingsley, Barbara. That's who you're thinking of. And that dolphin guy, right? Batman.

Their show in Philly, 2002 still gives me chills

Right place, Right time. 2020 has been pretty tough, HIMYM has helped me keep myself sane.
I know bro.
Alex Chiltonfluenced!
I LOVE U GUYS GBV FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!
I've been a fan since I was young, but when I heard them on HIMYM I was jumping up and down. Hopefully it will make them gain new fans.
Just did
There will be no coronation
There will be no flowers flowing in the light
Why is that the best part of any song ever?
Yes, he used to be a school teacher in Dayton, so probably was.
Super talented.
Buckeye Bob...... great song, cool video.
Glad girls in Dayton, Ohio! ❤️
Any money GBV make.. they 100% deserve it.
I love all the curvy women in this video!!! I heard this song on HBO's "Reverb", and I've been "Guided" ever since!!! "Glad Girls" = REAL GIRLS!!!
🎤Nothin Suits Me Like A Suit!🎼
one of the great unknown pophits of Indierock
awwwwwwsommmmmmmmeeeeee
This song resembles so much like a Teenage Fanclub tune at some point
May The Mighty GBV And Robert Pollard Rock Forever!
I'm pretty sure Nada Surf got some inspiration for their sound from GBV! This song is amazing.
Right place,right time
Dick, I give it a 94 ..... it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
Amazing power pop song!
Trippy

Fact’s
recently got to meet the drummer also a founding member of the band.

Watching the show "The IT Crowd" brought me to this.

Pollard is great writer, love this shit
what's the song playing in right place right time, that the narrator talks over
HIYMYM has good songs. Pavement, Guided by Voices, what else?
@999JAMES999 Yes!!!
Reminds me of Matthew Sweet.
Dammit How I Met Your Mother! Now, I'm one of those people who search for the songs because it wouldn't get out of their head.
Me too. Lol
