Anyone who likes these guys (most people listening to this, seemingly), go buy and listen to their albums- No spoilers, but if you haven't heard them yet, each song gets a whole other meaning when coupled with the other songs that they've been put with. The sticks, in particular, is very interesting in terms of composition - it's arguably a concept album, and quite an excellent piece, artistically.
I haven't heard this song or this band in years. Pisses me off greatly that the commercial music industry would keep people from listening to such talent.
Ironically tiktok gave them a lot of visibility, I hate TikTok, but when verbatim got popular there it was impossible to not listen to that song, so after somer research I'm now a big fan xD

Eh perdido valiosos años de mi vida sin haberlos escuchado antes, por lo menos ya los conozco Saludos desde México!! que más herman@s escuchen esta banda por favor.
I met some of my greatest friends by going to a concert of theirs alone and tagging along with the first two people I saw. A lot of joy and zero regrets. thanks, mother mother
Omg, this band and especially this song are so awesome!. The chorus when they all harmonize together is just AMAZING! oh yeah, Ryan Guldemond on lead guitar and Mike Young on bass are kick ass!
Love love that you are commenting on this video 8 years after I made my comment. They have blown up! Cool to see how much they have grown over this time period
For 10 years I always assumed a woman sang this song. They must have tweaked his voice or something in post, no? Doesn't sound like the way he sings in most other songs I've heard...
@@evanwakelin7944I think it might be because in the chorus with the "oooold soul" bits, that's mostly the girls singing and then Ryan just has a quieter lower harmony? You're right, I think you can hear the girls more in this one, which is fab cause they get a chance to shine. I also think any differences in his pitch throughout is probably just because this is from when he was much younger 😄
@@jeffblimsfalcetto3748 maybe because there are three voices, Ryan, Molly and one from Debra Jean Creelman, who is no longer in the band, that’s the diferent voice there.
@Mirko B Hoble that doesn't change the fact that they do curse. Not a bad thing, but OP was implying it was a bad thing and how they were happy that they don't, when they do.
I seen them at a calgary casino. Best show of my fucking life. They played everything. Complete with a cover of Creep in the middle of body of years. I have no idea why they aren't a list
The craziest thing is that while this is a catchy song for sure, the whole album is even more AWESOME!!! As a huge new music junkie, I can say with confidence that "O My Heart" may be one of the best North American efforts in four or five years. It will be one of only a handful that I actually go out and buy on CD, which says a lot!!!
3:40 the buildup of this outro gets me every time. The first two notes from the guitar. Then the groovy riff.. the few piano notes.. then the arpeggio.. it finally explodes to a synth solo then the song ends.. damn
Talented, intelligent, song-writer, musician, charismatic, speaks with an actual wide vocabulary and we can't forget wonderfully attractive. More men need to be like Ryan Guldemond.
I discovered this group a few months ago, on the XM radio station, ' The Verge ' . They play a lot of good music and a lot of Mother Mother. I've purchased 3 of their cds. I never get tired of them. I'm still in awe of how immensely talented they are. If I told you how old I am, you probably wouldn't believe me. Let's just say that I remember sitting on the living room floor, watching The Beatles make their American debut. I can't till they return to SF.
How am I just now finding this awesome band?! I freaking love this song and this whole album! I’m so sad I didn’t discover them sooner but so happy I found them now!!! I’ve been so starved for good music and this is just what I needed! I’m listening to this whole album on repeat!!! I love this band!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I had been walking all over Milan while listening repeatedly to this song, still really can't get this out of my head, so infectuous.... Mother Mother to me is the best band ever in engineering the different levels and layers of voices to turn it into pleasing complicated twisted Acapella like choruses sometimes
All the remains of a cadaver of days I keep hidden away Keep them there just in case I wanna visit that place Blow the dust from the bones Off a body of years That I leave all alone Just a body of years See the skin disappears And the blood turns to stone In a body of years, now a pile of bones Like a sheet of veneer Each a piece of my soul It's a body of years, that I leave all alone It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones You know Old soul who falls down Can't stop trippin' on these Old roads I go down Get back up and Get my foot in the door And my face on the page Make my mark in the world With a bat and a blade It's a body of work That you can't ever change Like a body of years That you take to your grave It's just a body of years that I leave all alone It's…
Watching this for the nostalgia. I remember the first time I saw Mother Mother live would have been a Peak Performance Project event in 2010? (or 2009... it was whatever the first year that they did it). Damn, I am right in my bedroom again listening to the radio and listening.
So freaking happy they finally are getting some air time. This band is by far the best I've heard. So effin quirky, and Canadian to boot. Everyone in the band makes it perfect sounding.
11 years ago! Such a long time ago, it's great how much mother mother has grown, especially now that it's getting more popular on social media. Makes me very happy
I was stoked to watch this until I saw it was directed by Colin Minihan. He used to date a good friend of mine and he smacked her around quite a bit, and now all popular music videos directed by him piss me off for some reason :/ Still love the song to death
indeed. I find this song more remarkable each time I listen to it. I'm at the age where videos tend to bore me to tears (been there, done that), but this video has some unique elements and fits with the song. The side shots and zooms are quite remarkable. Simple, effective. Fish heads, sure.
I know! I just discovered this band like 3 weeks ago and this song that one part is like an orgasm to my ears. I close my eyes and just enjoy it I love it!
I wish that America was cool enough to have Mother Mother. The one time they came to my town (Phoenix) I was seventeen and couldn't get into the bar they were playing at. I basically died as I sat in my car and tried to listen from outside.
ive been a mm fan for a bit now but i just heard this song for the first time a few days ago and omg its amazing!!! im surprised it's not more popular considering it's from their O my heart album which is one of their more popular albums. anywayz this song is ammmmaaaazzzzinnngggg

To be fair Canadian musicians don't make it outside Canada very often,and when they do it isn't a tragically hip,or mother mother.

For someone with a pretty deep voice, he sure can sing high.

By far my favourite Mother Mother song.
Eyo nice pfp
Omg, this band and especially this song are so awesome!. The chorus when they all harmonize together is just AMAZING! oh yeah, Ryan Guldemond on lead guitar and Mike Young on bass are kick ass!
Actually until No Culture, it was Jeremy Page as bassist.
It's a real shame that you never get the full play of this magnificent tune on the radio.
Bravo Mother Mother, this album will always be a killer
In Alberta and bc you can when they came out. Not sure now as I reside in shitario
Normally I listen to a lot of Death Metal, but when I don't I listen to Mother Mother.
I can't believe how underrated this band is
If only this person saw it now..
They would be shocked!
