Not only is this song a banger 40 years on but this music video with its raw, unedited, candid footage doesn't look at all out of place in today's world of spontaneous smart phone recordings. R. Stevie Moore is a cultural prophet.
I'm just discovering r stevie moore, and i am in amazement at his genius. he breezes from one genre to another, all while having his own distinct sound. i'm not outraged that he's not more famous, I'm just glad i found him!
When I went to Mortville in Chicago a few years ago to see an R. Stevie Moore show, I walked in to find him sprawled out on the floor, rolling around on top of a cardboard box speaking gibberish.
@@WoahthereIan It's like Ariel doesn't understand that the people at these dumb rallies he goes to are purposefully looking for people who look like him to beat up.
Love how R. Stevie never seemed to have really left his childhood. I also still run around at playgrounds and would be proud to do so until I die. This world got enough serious and sour people already.
R. Stevie Moore if only you knew how much of an influence youv'e been for some of us fellow musicians... I had a gig some weeks ago and the versions where all songs of yours. Much love from Barcelona. I played Colliding circles, Thank Hank, Part of the problem, Pow wow, Norway and Take back. i made sure to quote you. How you come up with those songs with those chords is beyond me, Youv'e easily become my favorite artist
U wouldnt want to put stevie in this mindset nowadays but this is a great song. Thank you Stevie. It’s possible impossible, probable improbable, possible now
Everytime I listen to this song it just gives me an overwhelmingly fresh spring feel. Glad Music is a great album as well, I’m really happy I found that essay.
If this song had been recorded on higher grade equipment for the time, I'm sure this would've been on the radio. Hell it probably wouldn't have needed much to "improve", it just that solid of a song. Very great!

really makes you ask how much changed from then to now. makes me appreciate the little things
@@bigtuffgulchfan408 You know what they say: the more things change the more they stay the same 😄
this dude nailed Soundcloud and RUclips aesthetic almost forty years before their inception.
What an absolute dude.
He's a low key neighbourhood rockstar.

Big Ween fan here that was just directed to this performer and 2 am glad I found him.
@@djC653 I love Ween, though, I was listening to Captain Beefheart and this was recommended after.
"You're wonderful!"
"Thank you, I'm aware of that!"
Made me giggle.
where is that?

This song is making me rethink my life a little bit.
How’s life going now?

that's what he does to get in the mood to sing. tried and true ritual that works for him.
I am smoking a blunt and reading this made me cackle...this made me rethink my artistry entirely
iyxw35tsdhjklhjkgkjbjvbvbmbiiiyyy
the "Impossible impossible" part is such a fucking JAMMER dude
hell yeah
i be rolling in my fucking boots during that part
This whole song is a banger.
@@Schlagageul yes
All of a sudden Ariel Pink doesn’t seem so original, I find myself speechless at how amazing this is
Screw that clown! I’m in love with this track
@@WoahthereIan you know ariel and R Stevie are good friends right?
@@trevorlemon9006 I know. I’ve just been disheartened from finding out that Ariel is a neo-fascist. Now I can enjoy the original inspiration
@@WoahthereIan lmao. Fair enough fellow human
@@WoahthereIan It's like Ariel doesn't understand that the people at these dumb rallies he goes to are purposefully looking for people who look like him to beat up.
Back when taping was the way to do it

Lucky lady, men can't do that without being framed as evil.
@@elinope4745 well, take R. Stevie Moore as inspiration and stick it to those people!
How the fuck was this recorded in 1978? Moore is so influential that his early material sounds like a modern indie record.
Exactly!!
Maybe the best song I’ve ever heard in my life
R Stevie Moore is a transcendental soul
Outrageous that this sounds so relevant almost 40 years later... Stevie you're an inspiration!!
Great song - R. Stevie is a genius. Though if I were a parent, I'd be worried about the strange man on the merry-go-round ...
Man, this song is catchy asf. I'm new to his music but man, I'm excited to listen to all of his stuff. This deserves recognition.
This is one of the best songs I have ever listened to
everything about this is iconic.
This song song speaks to me on all kinds of levels. R. Stevie is my spirit animal.
I'm so glad R. Stevie Moore is in my life.
What a genius! It must be one of the best songs I heard in my life!
Current music owes so much to this genius
My whole childhood. Tape it all...and we did
Such a great track. One of the first I ever heard. Got me hooked.
Wow, I'm surprised I've never heard this. Gonna listen again right now.
I've never heard this guys name thrown around.. why?? I just found this and this is amazing, just the time of when his stuff came out if crazy.
It was way ahead of it's time.
Chef d'oeuvre pour l'éternité 🎉❤😊
nothing short of a LEGEND!
1978!!! jesus.
Exactly
At oldest, this sounds like something from 1998.
this is all 1 shot no editing. So impressive now people cant handle
This would be an indie lofi hit if released today

This song is so gorgeous
He is a great musician
I had a headache and as soon as I put this on it went away
Holy shit, where has this song been all my life 😮
Discovering this guy and a bunch of other underground recording legends through Emil Amos drifters sympathy podcast . Freaking amazing podcast !
Cheers for the heads up on this podcast... great stuff!

This fellow popped up on my Discover Weekly on Spotify and I am now OBSESSED.
Oh man I just figure out about this guy. Can't believe with all my underground musical tastes I'm just now running into him.
This is such an awesome song/album/artist. Love that there is always more R Stevie Moore out there for me to find.
This is sick as fuck. Why have I never heard of it before? Dear God, it's really quite fantastic.
This song absolutely slaps! Wow
Still so good
Stevie's chuckle at the end of this song is great
What a masterpiece i havnt heard anything quite like this
addictive
One of my new favorite songs
Love this song forever and if you're here, I love you!
Very unique and inspiring, great song
Great video. As the rest have noted, rsm is a musical genius.
i really love his songs
Yeahhh!!! Stevie Moore kick's ass
Great musician!
I blame R Stevie Moore for my alcoholic relapse. I’ve never been happier.
i wasnt drinking i was just tired
Heard a dude call this bad, he must be dumb this is amazing
He is just part of the problem
😉
@@tessarae9127 😉
@@tessarae9127 most of the problem
@@tessarae9127 What an ignorant opinion lmao. Let people enjoy what they want, you're not intellectually superior because you like this music.
jangle moment 1:07 - 1:20 is a genre by itself 🤤
great great great song.
I love this song
now that´s "a free spirit"!
One of his best
This is a really good song.
Redolent of early Zappa - a joy
Some of the vocals, yeah.
Amazing find!!!
Found this after listening to "Ella Guru" by Captain Beefheart. Lol
His voice reminds me of the deep, smooth tones of Kevin Ayers.
unironically fire.
wow, wtf, this is straight up good
I can only dream of being one day as prolific as R. Stevie Moore...
Anyone else get a strong Pete & Pete vibe here? Love R. Stevie!
Wasn't this filmed and made before that?
But yeah, you're right.
This is amazing 🤩
THIS IS A BOP!
Another cool and excellent song from RSM.
I love hearing this song on 2x Velocity, it gives too much energy
I've never heard/seen anything better than this
this is fantastic
amazing!
Yes ! YES YES
Found this on my discovery page on spotify
My favourite.
Definitivamente fiquei tonto 😵 . Go Steve! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
If this song had been recorded on higher grade equipment for the time, I'm sure this would've been on the radio. Hell it probably wouldn't have needed much to "improve", it just that solid of a song. Very great!
It's actually such a great song, even beyond what weirdos like us like it for!
Underrated
I love this!!! It reminds me of Kevin Ayers.
So good
sounds like a smiths song at the beginning, cool!
Here before he becomes post death famous
He's already more popular than he's ever been. Kinda like Ween. People only started really appreciating his music until quite recently.
Love it
10 more times!
Still fucking great !
Perfect!
This is damn good!!
Shit this would’ve blown up nowadays as it sounds kinda cool and lofi.
This speaks to me
Certified banger!
wow, nice
The best.
art . this is fucking art
R.Stevie Moore Genius
This slappps!
i think r stevie moore's ''problem'' is he is not married to me.
Then you're part of the problem...
