Months ago I bought this album because I find the album cover so beautiful. I swear I never heard of this band before I bought the CD. I thought it's one of the best albums I have ever bought so far.
YES! and it could've been 4x as long, a great history of the making of yeahwedidthat.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-uncomfortable-legacy-of-girls-album.html?m=1
you found a treasure. This album stays in my head rent free
RIP in peace Girls, you were my favorite band ever for a while.
I haven't enjoyed being sad this much since Psychocandy.
+Crocmaster McGeezax "RIP in peace" wat
RIP in peace is a meme. it's funny because it's redundant, obviously.
Great band. . .ahead of their time. . .I'll always love their early 60s vibe
@chihuahuainacone They are no longer a band, and the bass player died some years back. RIP seems appropriate to me.
@user-do7yz6sf8j I think this still sounds fresh because they echoed music from an unforgettable bygone era, yet also introduced something new. They weren't concerned about sounding like fags either; much like Bowie, Morrisey, and Bret Anderson, and that must take courage and self belief. I only wish they'd been able to continue with the original members:( The singer's solo stuff hasn't yet grabbed me in the same way. Maybe it's a little too faggy for my tastes. which was always a line they were close to crossing, in my humble opinion.
How many lives has this song saved. This song is so powerful.

Me, in this right moment.
I've been in and out of hospital, at some points under the mental health act. Last week I was admitted by my psychologist: I had no life left in me, my heart still beat but surviving isn't living and I was simply surviving at that point. I'm so glad, I remembered about this song from a short film I adore, I'm Here (dir. Spike Jonze).
it helped me no longer survive. But live.
This girl hated me and I loved her, she cheated on me and I tried to hang myself but then this appeared and now I’m into a 2 years relationship with an angel haha.
I wish this genre/era would come back
Yeah when this album came out it was the perfect time in my life I bumped it a lot then
Goood times. Can’t keep living like that for long periods though. Chet died and last I heard Chris Owens was living in a car. Still loved Girls full sound track to some epic times !
@@raff23ableWho did you hear that from he is happily married living in LA
@@Saintdream3 who are you talking about ? I haven’t heard anything about Chris in years last thing I heard he was living in his car ? If he’s happily married that’s awesome to hear.
@@raff23able He has an Instagram account active. Him & his wife pose all the time. They are def not homeless
On a car ride home my best friend was telling me how close he was unaliveing himself, we discussed without getting into details. Had a heart to heart and after that we both love Girls and played HellHole Ratrace, On full volume we sang that song together all the way home. That was 5 years ago, I want to believe this song saved both of our lives, this song holds a special place in my heart. Thank you Girls, I bet you saved so many of us with your music
Not having friends has brought me here, since the song was first released.
Some walk the journey alone
I do by choice and it’s music like this helps
brings me back to the summer of 2009. wish i could go back.
i second that
2020, oh my.
Good stuff.
The second summer of love in uk
@@FrenchBalmyNight & i'm still here :)
every time i broke up, i will listen to this.. give me some weird calm and clarity
Listening to this all night until I fall asleep. "I don't wanna cry my whole life through.."
The truth is once you look past societal conditioning we can actually all be friends. We're forced to separate and be part of groups different from one another. In our rawest form we are the same and want to love and be loved. It's simple really.
I remember when I heard this song for the first time, I was too young and I felt exactly like this, things were going sadly, this lyric made so much sense.
this is one of the best songs i've ever heard in the last year..
I can relate to this song so much it sounds like it was written for me
Kendall F you are white, you dont know what pain is
SirVladHarkonen race doesn't have anything to do with the amount of emotional pain one feels. We're all the same on the inside
SirVladHarkonen You're a dumbass (as is the idiot who gave your asinine comment a thumbs up).
@@sirvladharkonen6200 sjw
I looked in the mirror today. Damn I’m old lol. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. As I age there’s this graceful aura about it that I can’t put my finger on. It’s like I’m grateful for having the chance to witness the growth, failures, opportunities, pain, loss, of those I love near and dear. But also of myself.
I want everyone to know that you are an infinite project unto yourself. There is no road you cannot take, no obstacle you cannot face. You are endowed with the bravery and courage of being human. And this strength alone can lead to things you have never thought of. But has been inside you nonetheless. The movement of time and the universe is within us and is not separate from us. We are the universe. We are it.
So do not shy away from doing what you love. Do the things that make you uncomfortable and that challenge you. You can do it. I believe in you. And I’ll always be with you.
So many memories about this song....
9 years ago i broke up with my ex,and i play this all day in the winter of 2010,this song really save my life in that time.
Now i get married and had 1 daughter,time will change everything and everyone,i don't miss my ex and past,life will goes on,still love this song.
💔 Rest in peace JR...your ears and musical input will always be appreciated and remembered
Chet was such a good man and one of the coolest peeps in the SF scene. Seeing him in this video makes me cry
Well, clearly people just moved on and didn't do a single thing whatsoever, and now we don't have one of the greatest producers of my life. People find it easy to let go and move on, and I get it when it's just regular old depressives or relapsing old friends - but when it's someone that was able to produce this shit so proper you just let the world down and are merely letting yourself move on and not recognize how unethical it is to let people you love just not be here anymore. I've been sober for over a decade but I'm an anomaly, and everyone that loved him should've been trained in administering narcan - simple as fuck.
I'm sick and tired of the way that I feel
I'm always dreaming and it's never for real
I'm all alone with my deep thoughts
I'm all alone with my heart ache and my good intentions
I work to eat and drink, and sleep just to live
Feels like I'm never getting back what I give
I got a sad song in my sweet heart
And all I'll really ever need is some love and attention
And I don't want to cry my whole life through
I want to do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and laugh with me
And I don't want to die without shaking up a leg or two
Yeah I want to do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Sometimes you just gotta make it for yourself
And sometimes, sugar, it just takes someone else
Sometimes you just gotta make it for yourself
And sometimes, baby, you just need someone else
And I don't want to cry my whole life through
No, I wanna do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and laugh with me
And I don't want to die without shaking up a leg or two
Yeah I wanna do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Sometimes you just gotta make it for yourself
And sometimes, honey, you just need someone else
And sometimes you just gotta make it for yourself
And sometimes, darling, you just need someone else
But I don't want to cry my whole life through
Yeah I wanna do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and laugh with me
And I don't want to die without shaking up a leg or two
Yeah I wanna do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
But I don't want to cry my whole life through
Yeah I wanna do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and laugh with me
And I don't want to die without shaking up a leg or two
Yeah I wanna do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
But I don't want to cry my whole life through
Yeah I wanna do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and laugh with me
And I don't want to die without shaking up a leg or two
Yeah I wanna do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
But I don't want to cry my whole life through
Yeah I wanna do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and laugh with me
And I don't want to die without shaking up a leg or two
Yeah I wanna do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
It's such a bittersweet song. Very powerful lyrics, it really does help you get through any day.
You don't really get this song until you find yourself at rock bottom.
I have never related more to a comment in my life!
yes
25 years after the Jesus and Mary Chain.... This song reminds me of the magic of 'Just Like Honey' and that's high praise indeed. It may even be better all I know is that I love and needed this song!

I found this at a perfect time in my life. Now I'm finding it again in a harder time. Saving my life honestly.
I discovered this song yesterday and this is beautiful
all my friends are coming back from a trip on friday. this song just embodies the image i have in my head of the night we will have. just us all together, again. smoking drinking laughing, passing around joints and celebrating in eachothers happiness. living in the moment, completely. beautiful image. cannot wait till friday
God, I miss Girls. I love Christopher's solo stuff but it's just not the same, you know?
Wait...............did they break up??
lurch321 Unfortunately :(
i kno
If my life had a theme song this would be it.
This song is six years old jesus I'm not supposed to feel this old.
+Jake Hallford Just you wait. Enjoy yourself.
10 years now, how ya holding up
@@lovecomesbutonce still here !
This is pure brilliance in my book. Powerful doesnt even begin to explain it.
A genius. Andrew x x
When I heard this play in 'I'm Here' I was like HOLY SHIT I never thought i'd hear Girls in a movie
this is just f***ing great. they have something special going on.
How the fuck does this not have a million views
right?!
Almost there
+matthew woodall wowzas it's almost as if...a million distinct clicks didn't happen on this video!
made it :')
Good news bud :)
i like their sound in general and especially this song...we'll see if they are still around in a year or two. lately there have been a lot of bands like this and they come and go in a year
Listening to this a decade later... wow I feel old.
same ... was 20. teenage time oh my, where are you
Found this song on an Apple Music playlist a few months ago and wow- it’s become one of my all time favorites
best band i discovered in 2010.
Ah...youth. I miss those joyful/sad days of disposable (but not wasted) time. La dolce vita.
Great band.
christopher owens lyrics and voice paired with their music is PERFECT. simply heartfelt and emotional. i love everything he does, what a beautiful mind...
Rest in peace, thank you for this masterpiece.
listen to this song make me thing that life is not a waste of time and i have no reason to be sad! i have so much live, laugh, love and enjoy
The drummer for this band is actually my brother. Also I think that they are a really cool band. I put their entire album on my iPod!!!!
come on almost 1 million views they deserve it, this is and will be my number one group
This was the best part of my trip, when thia song same on randomly. God that was such a fun night
2020 anyone?
2023
2023 my friend

This song is awesome.
Girls en mexico no ahí muchas personas q conozcan su musica, soy de los pocos afortunados y eso es un gusto y privilegio forever girls.
I miss you.
I love this song forever!!!
I listen this song when i wake up hangover
I love this video, this song.
All time fav band.
i will forever love this song.
wonderful song .
interesting video...its like they're all stuck without any way out so they dissolve the memories of that feeling each day with some pbr's and other indulgences and at the end strive to turn that night into day.
this is a beautiful song some day we will all meet the right path to our lifes
name one band they sound exactly alike
and i find their drug-addled lyrics quite refreshing
@fantasytrashcan not over indulgent, beautifully done. thank you for this.
Como eu amo essa música
I'm obsessed 😩✨
watching this video has become my new drug for the past month
i credit this one song with helping me break out of my depression and granting me the grace to excel at school
just this past friday (two days ago) that I listened to this song for the first time, where have I been?
this is wonderful.
For the lonely.
1 million lonely people. It's right in front of our faces but still hard to believe. But there's the proof you're not alone
is that a giles corey pfp? I love his work
allways love life and we can make great music like this, love the band i got the lp.
song is growing on me. glad I discovered this band on pitchfork
Silver Crest Donuts rule!. A SF hidden gem.
mmmm love this song. so sad and sweet.
very sophisticated music for a new generation of human people.
A classic!
RIP them GIRLS
FYF 2011
First&Last
@ least i witnessed..
find new artist and music everyday..
and i must say this is one of the better finds that i've had..
good stuff...
lol at ppl saying its boring...i suppose in this age of fast food musical production anything that deviates from the norm of naked chicks and lack of creativity is considered boring...
amazing.i love wen new artist r original
Favorite band
crying screaming throwing up
Oh man I miss this band so much
it truly is heartbreaking that this band, this exquisite sound, is no more. get the (expletive) back together, men. Shit is eeak without yous!
:) but also :(
:(:
great song guys... come to El Paso!
This was SPIN's #4 best song of 2009
holy heck this song makes my life complete.
i am in love with this video.
it reminds me of when my close friends and i get together.... which is almost everyday. haha.
but really its an amazing song
perfeitaaaaaa....
...Demais
Love these guys...btw
I agree this one's one of the best from 2009.
As for me, I would say Grizzly Bear's All We Ask is also one of the best.
this song was played at my best friends funeral. thumbs up if youve lost a best friend...
¡A los tiempos que escucho esta canción! 😭
Every awesome band exists 8 to 10 years ago. Fuck im late 😫😢😢😢
That video is amazing!
i've got a sad song in my sweet heart.
If someone could just lend me like $7 or even $10 million, I could make a really nice film whose final 7 minutes were this song.
imagine youre alone in a train with many happy couples and this song starts to play.
god, im really a lonely person :(
does anyone else notice that they use their friends that are girls in all the videos? thats cooooool :)
beautiful high people
Amazing video, great song... just great!
great life .
and i don't want to cry my whole life through
Happy 15th anniversary rip JR
