    Most listened song in 2023, and i still cannot get enough of this song. Everything in this song is charming, even the video is mysterious. I sincerely love this song and obsessed with it.

    The use of Valarie and Her Week Of Wonders as a theme was so well done in the context for the meaning of the lyrics in the song! This was such a well shot video! How is this band not talked about more??!

    • @David-sp9vd
      @David-sp9vd 8 лет назад

      +miked4309 Dunno sounds like New Romantics to me, but I guess it depends on how wide you define New Wave.

    • @David-sp9vd

      *****
      I thought they were largely UK references I was thinking of but okay, which region again?

    • @David-sp9vd
      @David-sp9vd 8 лет назад

      But I was wrong on the New Romantic line (apparently that describe the kind of new wave in the american eyes), I was thinking that was the description for Johnny Marr like guitar that you hear from many different bands these days, by DIIV and Wild Nothing (Both Brooklyn affiliated like Sun Flower Bean) But those are american bands taking shoegaze, dreampop and okay New Wave? Then again New Wave as a genre was used to describe American bands like the Velvet Underground. But yeah, MTV changed that definition as it was only UK artists that made videos and they needed something to describe the next wave of punk.

    • @miked4309
      @miked4309 8 лет назад

      sunflower bean has lots of sounds. this song sounds new wave to me...like flock of seagulls. but other songs sound like psychedelic 70 sounds...when i saw them some parts of songs sounded like black sabbath.
      how would you describe the wonderful band Wolf Alice? there's another complex sounding band.

  • @richarddavis6509
    @richarddavis6509 8 лет назад +78

    There is something inherently perfect about this song and video. The jangly guitar. The fall setting. I can't pinpoint it. Perhaps it is the combination of so many wonderful things. Thank you for this unique combination of sound, video, and atmosphere... I'm going to watch it again.

    Jangling guitars and soft-spoken vocals.
    All shot on vintage film.

    You try hard to see but I am on the outside
    Give me one more chance to see that I'm in the right mind
    Act so tough, make it cool
    Don't be afraid to see It through
    But I'm not scared to take the blame
    It's not your fault and that's okay
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time
    Trying to run but I can't when it's in my head
    Should have just stayed home when I'd rather be alone instead
    You're getting old, so act your age
    It isn't fun to make the same mistakes
    Give it up, it's getting late
    Make those words, I'm not afraid
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time
    Easier said than done, I heard you right the first time

    Act so tough, make you prove
    Don't be afraid to see it through
    And I'm not scared to take your place

    Easier said than done

    Be alone instead
    You're getting old
    So act your age
    It isn't fun
    To make the same mistakes
    So give it up, it's getting late
    Make those moves

    Kinda sounds like a mix of Blondie and the Cranberries... which is an awesome mix.
    Hell, Julia Cumming's voice is soothing like Debbie Harry's and it has that Dolores O'Riordan edge to it.

      I would have said the other way round Dolores soothing lilt and Debbie's edge.

    What a refreshing sound it reminds me very much of Sixpence None the Richer, 10,000 Maniacs and the Sundays .
    Beautiful vocals and wonderful composition Sunflower Bean is some amazing stuff.
