Molly Rankin said on a recent (2022) interview that Alvvays music is designed to be timeless and evoke memories of a time before we were glued to screens. They have clearly achieved this in a brilliant way.

Sitting alone in your bedroom at 3 am watching a video of people having fun and imagining how it'd be like if you had friends

I love her voice so much it's so naturally indie

man I love this song

Just trying to figure out why my friends that like this stuff don't exist...

This is a ridiculously good song.

I'm a 40 year old who never got to live a young hipster lifestyle with friends, so I watch stuff like this to feel the feelings.

Loving the mix of traditional 50s surf 80s college rock and 2010 indie noise.

People criticize this era's music generation, but bands like this (and there are plenty of them that are this solid) make me feel like this is the time music is at its best. There is some sort of combination of the past 5 decades mingled into groups like Alvvays, Tobias Jesso Jr., DIIV, even Perfect Pussy for that matter. Unlike the film industry which is running out of ideas, music is thriving harder than ever. The common folk just hasn't found it yet.

Honestly it's such an old aesthetic sounding song and it's not even that old and I love it

This was one of the first indie bands I discovered. I was 12 years old and at that really awkward phase of pre-teenagehood, but bands like this one and TOPS made it a lot more bearable and helped me shape my personality. Now i'm 17 and about to graduate, and I can say that i'm happy with who I turned out to be. Time really does fly.

Found a new favorite indie band

Warning: This contains high levels of good vibes. Watch at your own risk.

WE WANT A ALBUM ITS BEEN YEARS

Been finding Indy music from the past 2-10 years ago, and it sounds enough like it fits in the late 90's that I'm here for all of it.

aren't these guys like a new scooby doo?

Kerri is so outrageously adorable.

I've had this song on my ipod for 6 years and this is the first time seeing this video.

Really starting to love this band. Heard "Archie, Marry Me" a while ago and loved it. This is even better. Listening to it on repeat all day.

This song really helps when life is getting to you.

I love how they associated the song with summer through a music video. It really cements how the song makes me feel like time is fleeting.

I swear, every song that I've listened from this band gives me a melancholic 90's feeling.

曲から映像まで全てが最高😍😍

such a cute song

modern but retro this song makes me feel really calm for some reason loool😁

These videos are so much better than what we had back in the day on MTV, and the feeling this band and others gives me same feeling I had early 80s when all the New-Wave stuff was coming out.

She is so beautiful, her face, her voice, her smile. Just everything.

I always come back to this band every now and then. Always hits the spot too. The singer is a total babe.

my favorite band....I can't stop listening to them....I dream about them.....I'm a 53 year old musician who has worshipped the JAM my whole life. Molly has woken me up. This girl has more talent in her pinky than all who appear to be real. This band is a gift....a good toke....a friend's pat......Alvvvays has reminded me that rock n' roll can never die.

this whole album is just an absolute masterpiece. some of the best indie songs of all time

Why am I Just seeing this . 7yrs too late wtf KZfaq

KZfaq recommendations have been Gold lately

2:14 IT SO FUCKING PERFECT IM CRYING

Being on holidays in another city, I heard this today on the bus, going back home after a long and amazing day out with my girlfriend, as the sun was getting low on the sea. It felt amazing. I was hoping there would be a video of it and this it's funny because it is 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 the mood/style I was hoping for this song. Thanks a lot for making and sharing this ❤️

0:03 the way Molly smiles and looks at me just freezes my heart

This video makes you feel closer to the band, and I love that, they feel so natural. I think this is more of a "Document" about the band, than a "Music Video", I'll keep this as a very personal recording, I'm just loving them.

So in love with this entire album! Also very excited to see what's next...

I seriously love everything about this song. The lyrics, clip, how it makes me feel... Awesome.

She's gorgeous.

Listening to this song early in the morning, kinda tired, almost falling asleep again. Perfect sensations.

I love this band's videos. I've always loved it when music videos just showed bands playing in exceptionally cool ways, like at some big, raucous party ("DJ DJ", "Duality") or otherwise cool places ("Amsterdam"), or even just photographed in a flattering way like the shots on stage here (I love the candid image of the singer turning to the band at the end; really shows, in a brief moment, the key ingredient of playing music together: listening. You can't produce that in a bedroom!) or standing in a circle like in "In Undertow." Images of the band not just playing the song but complimenting it!

I bought your album years ago and it's great to see this video.

I really enjoy listening to them they have such a really mellow sound :) great band!

Quite possibly the best song I've heard in the past year.

This band rocks. I’m trying to figure out if it’s unfortunate or fortunate that it has taken me so long to find them. At least now there are years worth of songs to go through. Let’s gooo

These guys rock!! Every song a tune. I always feel nostalgic listening to them too.

cara, ouvir essa música com o tempo nublado uma chuva bem "fininha" no frio tomando um chocolate quente não tem melhor essa música é foda nostalgia pura.

I will Alvvays love Alvvays

No matter what, I always come back to this song ever since I came across it. Very thankful I did. It's a lovely and tasty jam.

Me encontré con esta canción ésta noche, y quedé fascinado. Me pregunto cómo no las conocí antes, son lo máximo. Cx

What a bunch of wonderful nerds.

Man, Kerri is such a babe

I just found this band and the fact that this song was published ON MY BIRTHDAY! Can’t get enough of this song and band oh god

grew up listening to the rankins but never saw them live. saw these dudes live in Calgary in 2018 with my mom and they kicked ass. one of my fav bands!!

Should be approaching i billion views

I love the camera this is filmed with

I checked the year this came out before clicking on it, saw that it was from a time BEFORE countless low-fi remixes paired with nostalgic stock home footage. This is great, real music, from a better time. 6 years ago.

Brings back many memories of younger days. To me, it specifically reminds me of the year i was transitioning from a teenager to a young adult (2014). Hanging around with lots of "friends" and a hella lot of strangers. Getting drunk and high af... All those parties, all those nights, all those hangovers... I had a pretty good time tbh. Nowadays, I don't drink anymore, and I rarely go outside or hang around. But when I do it's usually with 2 or 3 people, inside somebody's house.

Just found these guys on CBC radio... great stuff. Detroit used to be great at finding out new acts... so was 89.X and the BBC. They all dropped the ball on this one... Great band.

The stop sign made me laugh more than it should have

Yeah! Super melodic and euphoric song! Love it !!!

My favourite band of all time ❤ 🎸

Love these hidden gems!!!

Just found this song, instantly feel in love

Played this song a lot during art school. Listening to it sends me back to those happier times...

Love Molly Rankin and the band! great artists great vibe and every song has something very good about them! one of my personal favorites!

I STILL GO BACK TO THIS ONE

Why don't us fellow introverts gather somewhere like a place we're all comfortable ❤

love love love!!!

This song takes me back to one of my boyfriend and I’s first dates, probably because I listened to it a couple of times that day and it fit my mood perfectly. It was a very sunny day despite it being November and we were on a beach, but before then, we had been wandering around the downtown area surrounding it and eventually explored nearby paths filled with greenery. Getting to know him was amazing, and getting to kiss him a couple of times when that all felt so new was magical. I already feel this warm and fuzzy nostalgic feeling thinking about it even though it just happened last year.

i just found this song and it's awesome

This song is tied to some special memories it brings me to 2017

This was like the last album I discovered while I still had hope for the future.

Seriously i love every song from them💜

From Toronto? Even better!!! My summer song!

All their songs are so catchy.

i can’t get enough of them
