Because of this music video I traveled from Germany to Montreal, Canada in Nov 2019 to visit this place. I listened to this song while walking through the Expo 67 island...yes, it was pure magic.

This track is like the first hapiness after a depression

“Who starts a fire just to let it go out” love that line

I feel like sometimes the comments make me love the songs even more , It makes me kinda connected to many other people I'll never see

I WANT TO LIVE INSIDE THIS VIDEO

Heard this amazing piece during my shift at Starbucks. Usually I can’t hear anything when I am busy working....but this made the world stopped all the sudden

This song makes me feel weird, like nostalgic to a point in my life that never existed.

I am currently grieving my mom and something about this song is making the process easier. Thank you to the band!

I think I recognize this footage, if anyone's curious it’s from an event called “Expo 67” hosted on an island in Montreal that happened for one year in 1967 hence the title, where a bunch of nations participated in showcasing different parts of their culture. Many of the buildings and structures were very futuristic looking, designed to show off the peak of architecture and technology, including the monorail transportation you see in the video, and a few films even used it for a sci-fi setting. I think the setting works perfectly for the dream like quality of the music :) (Edit: forgot to include that the editing of the band into the old footage is wonderfully done with the film grain and the matching of the locations, it's seems like they're almost really there! Kudos to the editors)

this almost alternate vintage universe of nostalgia is the exact place i go to everytime i listen to one of their songs

This music makes me cry, but make me smile too. It is kind a happy-sad music. I love it!

This is one of those songs that hurts my heart to hear, but it’s just too damn good to ignore.

This band,Cigarettes After Sex,Beach House,Slowdive, DIIV,Fazerdaze, Ducktails,Men I Trust, Beach Fossils, Wild Nothing,Real Estate are bringing back dream-pop dynasty

this deserves an award for most beautiful song and video ever made.

This is the song I always come back to, I’ll never get tired of it. It shall be playing at ever major event in my life.

I met a stranger on a site, talked abt our fav music and stuff. He told me about this song, and the very first time I listen to this song, I fell in love with it. So, whoever you are, thanks :) been repeating this song all day.

LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH. THIS ALBUM IS TOO PERFECT.

this is so calming wtf

it's like a lullaby. i'll definately sing this to my children in the future.

Easily the greatest song in human history. Alv-vays combines perfectly literalism with irony. Unfettered genius.

Saw Alvvays live last night in Central Park. Will never forget Molly Rankin smiling at me and singing

Her voice is a lovely, gentle hug.

Ugh, the bridge 1:58-2:56 is just transcendentally ethereal. I love this band.

Omg i miss those days when I used to played this song while going to classes in the cold early morning

all i can think about when i hear this song is how i drove down the highway with my left hand out the window, screaming into the wind because i had my first kiss the day before with a girl that i knew i would be in love with for the rest of my life. I heard this song on the radio and it had the same feeling of nostalgia yet joy that I still feel when i think about her, and how young we both were and how excited and happy we were to be with eachother. so thank you alvvays for an amazing song trapped in an amazing memory

I have been fortunate to have visited over a dozen countries in my life so far, but no city in the world has captured my heart like Montreal. I can’t explain why, but its history is part of it. Walking the grounds of the World’s Fair was a special moment for me and this brought me to tears thinking of the optimism that existed in 1967.

I thanked god thousands of times that I found this song. So underrated, but that is why it feels so close to heart!

Never heard of Alvvays until I saw them live open for The Strokes back last March in Seattle. The day before the state of Washington shut down I feel so lucky to have discovered this band.

This was footage from the World's Fair 67 in Montreal.

Such a calming tune.

I listen to this song every day in Japan. I love Alvvays!!

It's like a sad person singing a dreamy happy memory Awesome❤️

What do you call nostalgia for a time you never experienced?

"Don't let motion..... distort everything....." so beautiful.

Completely obsessed over this song rn.

I remember Alvvays playing Expo in ‘67...what’s stranger still is that I saw this show, and I was born in 1980.

[Verse 1] Rode here on the bus Now you're one of us It was magic hour Counting motorbikes on the turnpike One of Eisenhower's [Pre-Chorus 1] Live your life on a merry-go-round Who starts a fire just to let it go out? [Chorus] If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight? If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight? [Verse 2] On the lead guitar Said you'd go to work In the waking hour In fluorescent light Antisocialites watch a wilting flower [Pre-Chorus 2] Live your life on a merry-go-round Who builds a wall just to let it fall down? [Chorus] If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight? If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight? If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight? If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight? [Bridge] Don't sit by the phone for me Wait at home for me, all alone for me Your face was supposed to be hanging over me like a rosary So morose for me; seeing ghosts of me; writing oaths to me Is it so naive to wonder... [Chorus] If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight? If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight? If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight? If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

Expo 67!!! This footage has been updated so expertly that it had me doubting it was original. Fantastic!

I am so depressed right now, my world is like falling apart. Girlfriend left, my dog died and everything feels like a bad dream. But this band helps me i dont know why, but i love them.

The one song I keep returning to no matter how much time has passed

I alvvays smash that like button

This video is dreamlike. Trance enducing. What a magical lil bubble world Alvvays made w the stock footage & incorporating those prime colors. Song is indie pop candy

Who still here listening to this and will keep on listening?

Reminds me of summer camp 2 years ago. That was the happiest week of my life and always brings back vivid memories. This song makes it feel good to cry.

People say they want to live inside this video but they are too blind to see that this is our reality. Be happy because you live in a beautiful world.

most beautiful song of 2017!

He recommended me this song and this band, I fell in love with it as much as I love him... He one day told me this song, together with the other songs he recommended me, reminds him of her and for a moment, hearing this song hurts. Even if we don't end up like how I want it to be, I will treasure your playlist like how I treasure you and our memories and dream of how it all be different if one thing was different.

The "tonight" at 1:45 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

This record represents a gigantic evolution from the self-titled.

Incredible album, you guys.

What an outstanding and beautiful vocal performance.

The fact that they haven't uploaded anything in 3 years shattered my fragile little heart into pieces.

Such a visually stunning video.

This song is like an emotional conversation.

When I start daydreaming this song starts playing in my mind... It brings with it both happiness and sadness; I love every second of this song. On an endless loop in my soul❤️

I tell people that the Universal loves us and we are all tripping over the signs everyday. THIS is another sign. What a dream this band made......I'm jumping in.....you can too!

How am I just now finding this. So good. Reminds me of the 90s band "The Cardigans" anyone remember them?

It's official. I declare this one of the best songs in history. Same goes for the music video. Good job, Alvvays

Damn, the video is perfectly crafted. Looked at it so often and thought it was just original footage, until i saw that she is in almost every shot. So amazing...

I have been with this girl for almost 3years now and now we seem to be growing distant from each other slowly. The love we felt once for each other isn't there anymore. But I still love her. I come back here every night to listen to this song while thinking about the memories we made together. Maybe this will fall apart someday, but I'll always love her. I just don't want to let out the fire we have in between us. I wish I can dream of her every night when I go to sleep.

If there was ever a video that complimented the song.......this is it

Heard this song last night on the train in Japan. I was mesmerized by the singer's voice. Looked up the band (Alvvays) on KZfaq and was mesmerized once again by singer Molly Rankin and this video. They spliced the band into footage from Expo '67 in Montreal like something out of Forrest Gump and it all just fits so beautifully.

This was the first song of theirs that I listen to back in 2018. I fell in love with her voice and music style. It still going strong and I will always have a place for them in my heart.

The song is too good that it hurts

Makes me nostalgic for a time I was too young to appreciate. Captures the vibe of the song so perfectly.

This song is timeless. It can never grow old(:

Just when you think there is no more good music, you find the perfect song.

such an incredible video. this album and their entire discography has helped me sm in times of need!

I’ll always come back to this song whenever I feel sad

This is it, the song I've been listening on repeat for three months, my summer song

That is one of the most perfect songs ever written.

Was in the city a while ago and briefly talked with a guy who had just gotten finished playing guitar and singing. He was so beautiful and eloquent that it almost felt like I had just dreamed him up, but I couldn't stay for too long because I had to catch up with my family. Then in the next store I stopped at, this song was playing. I feel love for strangers way more than I do for people I actually know, I swear.

There are no words to express how nostalgic and hopeful this song makes me feel

Love the first album and this album too. Not listening to the genre currently but this album is the only exception. Hope can see you live one day.

So glad im not the only one feeling these unexplainable things whenever i hear this song 🥺🥺🥺

Band of the decade. Absolutely love their sound

It's so great they don't make those HD videos, this quality fits perfect with the vibe of the music ❤️

Great tune + expo 67 visuals. That’s a yes in my book!

I first heard this song 2-3 years ago by chance, and I’ve been obsessed with Alvvays ever since. The serotonin produced from their music is unmatched.

i feel the need to travel with stranger who has the same taste in music like mine

Is the archival footage from the 1967 Montreal World Fair? Man, I love that flavor of futurism. I was born not too long after that, and that was still very much my childhood aesthetic and what we imagined the world’s utopian near-future would look like. In a sense, to this day I’m still shell-shocked by how abruptly the Thatcher/Reagan ‘80s were imposed on us … how quickly corporate media put a halt to anyone talking about community, or social change, or shared aspirations. The kids are alright, though … maybe they’ll still realize that future for us all, one way or another!

The early to mid 90s was such a special time for music. This brings me back to the shoegaze era. I miss my Gen X youth

Happy-sad. Perhaps that’s the best way to describe the emotions that come with nostalgia. I love happy-sad music

This song makes me so happy I want to cry.

I went on Wikipedia to read about Expo 67 and when I read about this video I just had to see it. I was NOT disappointed! Amazing!

For me, this is the best song. No one's gonna change my mind.

Listening & watching this in lockdown 2021 breaks my heart.

J U S T A M A Z I N G

Love this song & video, therapeutic song after a stressfull day at work

Her voice is so soothing

Omg I love this! So similar to Cannons. An awesome dude introduced me to this. 🥰

I know! This record has so many layers it's unreal how "better" the songwriting got. And I mean that in all respect to the first album...that first album was just amazing in itself, but this record is just another universe. I can't believe some of the reviews of this record that just aren't getting it. They want all the songs to be "Archie" and it just can't happen with a band like this. Plimsoll Punks is one of the best songs I've ever heard, PERIOD! When I first heard this song I could not get it out of my head.

Hearing this wonderful song makes you feel like you're floating in a beautiful dream :) Love Alvvays

70's Canadian retro-futurism is such a delightful aesthetic.

I remember listening to this on my middle school school trip

I m so thankful to Selena that she send me here. I love this music and video❤️❤️❤️

Props to the whole production teams at Shy Kids & Zapruder... This is a visual masterpiece. Better splice job than the ones in Rogue One.

This is so beautiful. It just lifted my spirits instantaneously. I want to introduce more people to this band.

Someone did an amazing job blending them into this footage.

Was at their show in Toronto last weekend. They're really great to listen to live!
