I am that girl in the beginning and the end (yes my hair is smaller now). The band never knew me. I was friends with the videographer. Amazing to still be a tiny part of the experience after all these years.

You know what I love in the middle of my favorite song? A nice, loud, atonal _BEEEEEP._

This is my absolute favorite band in the world and nothing will ever change that.

This song makes me nostalgic for a life I never lived.

"Don't worry, we're in no hurry, schools out, what did you expect?" I don't know why those lines hit so hard but they do

in the midst of a global pandemic, I wish so badly that I could live inside this music video

someone once said to me if Nirvana looked into the existential pit and screamed then Pavement shrugged and walked on

I remember watching Pavement in the royal court in Liverpool as a young lad. Weirdly enough we spotted John Peel alone in the crowd looking like someone's lost dad. It wasn't until many years later I realised the significance of that moment. Great band, liked by great people.

This album changed my life no lie. It came out in my senior year in high school and suddenly I was an “indie kid”. I was o seeded with Pavement and Guided By Voices and it felt like they were my own little secret.

I remember the first time I heard this song. It was only about four years ago- I was a junior in high school. I'd never really given "indie" a chance, and Pavement had always been that fringe band in the back of my mind that I always meant to check out. I stumbled across this video one day and was just like, damn, I've never heard vibes like this before. It just resonated on such an easy level. Opened up so many doors. Probably the most important moment in my musical development over the years

I grew up in the nineties but only now realize how great Pavement is.

Wow. Never realized how amazing that starting riff is. The intentional dissonance is so peripheral , it's awesome. Great tune

I made a mix CD with this song on it and put "1979" by Smashing Pumpkins right before it. Ha.

I think it's foolish to have a favourite song by a band, particularly in the case of such a strong one, but this one gives me smiles wider than any else. it's a delicate country song, and very precious. indeed, a very precious song.

"Out on my skateboard the night is just humming And the gum smacks are the pulse I'll follow if my walkman fades" These damn slackers could write some real poetry when they could, y'know, be bothered

After the glow, the scene, the stage The sad talk becomes slow but there's one thing I'll never forget Hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent Over the turnstiles and out in the traffic There's ways of living, it's the way I'm living, right or wrong It's all that I can do and I wouldn't want to let you be I want a range life if I could settle down If I could settle down then I would settle down I want a range life if I could settle down If I could settle down then I would settle down Run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat Pass me your gloves, this crime it is never complete Until you snort it up or shoot it down, you're never going to feel free Out on my skateboard the night is just humming And the gum smacks are the pulse I'll follow if my walkman fades Well, I got absolutely no one, no one but myself to blame Don't worry, we're in no hurry, school's out, what did you expect? I want a range life if I could settle down If I could settle down then I would settle down I want a range life if I could settle down If I could settle down then I would settle down, yeah Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins Nature kids, I, they don't have no function I don't understand what they mean and I could really give a fuck Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you? I will agree they deserve absolutely nothing, nothing more than me Dreaming, dream, dream, dream, dream

It's really nice seeing all these good comments about pavement, makes me think my dad was actually a cool person lol

this makes me long for the early nineties... great music, great clothes... late teens... wore my "Dirty"-t shirt, knee long black shorts +docs, and just walking around with my friends, giggling, quoting movies and books and the future was ahead of you....

I’m 56 and somehow I missed out on this band. I don’t know how, they are AMAZING!!!

One day we will pass but rock and roll is forever

Pavement is definitely on the soundtrack of my youth! Still have a concert tee from 1995

Wow. This really brings back a flood of smiles, tears, pains, loves, apathy, motivation, and confusion.

This should have 248 billion views

-listen to Pavement -wear cardigans -watch MST3K and Space Ghost 90s life hack

Realizing the original lyric was "I won't arrange life" and they just changed the title is pretty cool and makes perfect sense..

After the glow, the scene, the stage The sad talk becomes slow But there's one thing I'll never forget Hey, you gotta pay your dues Before you pay the rent Over the turnstiles and out in the traffic There's ways of livin', it's the way I'm livin' right or wrong It's all that I can do and I wouldn't wanna let you be I wanna range life If I could settle down If I could settle down Then I would settle down I wanna range life If I could settle down If I could settle down Then I would settle down Run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat Pass me your gloves This crime, it is never complete Until you snort it up or shoot it down You're never gonna feel free Out on my skateboard the night is just humming And the gumsmacks are the pulse I'll follow If my walkman fades Well, I got absolutely no one No one but myself to blame Don't worry, we're in no hurry Schools out What did you expect? I wanna range life If I could settle down If I could settle down Then I would settle down I wanna range life If I could settle down If I could setle down Then I would settle down Yeah Out on tour with Smashing Pumpkins Nature kids I, they don't have no function I don't understand what they mean And I could really give a fuck Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you? I will agree they deserve absolutely nothin' Nothin' more than me Dreamin' dream, dream, dream, dream, dream So alive

This song makes me want to travel back to the 90s

all my favourite singers couldn't sing.

God Damn i miss being a teen in the 90's..

… if I could settle down .. if I could settle down.. then I would settle down …My personal anthem .. MASTERPIECE…

Glad to see the Scott Weiland tributes are pouring in. He was one hell of an elegant bachelor.

Just discovered this song by using Apple Music and I really love this. Im from 1976 and I really never heard this song. I need to listen more of them.

Was there anything that these guys COULDN'T do? What a great rollicking mess of a song. And who would know that Stephen Malkmus was to go on from Pavement to such a prolific and spectacular career? Breathless excitement at each new release, always full of surprise and wonder...

the first time I listen to them, I have already fallen in love with this song

tears in my eyes, I really wanna go back to 90’s

i remember being half stoned in a car with this playing and it was perfection

If angels made music. THIS is what it would sound like, beautiful

I first heard this song when I was 19, and I wanted a range life. Now I am 47 and I have settled down, and it is quite nice. But sometimes can be a little sad, just like this song....

One of my favorites songs really. It goes beyound the video, this song is among my absoulute best of my lifetime. So long Pavement and Malkmus!

Man I get nostalgic watching these songs, saw them at Reading not the festival, England with their old drummer handing out playing cards to the crowd coming in, I didn't even know he was part of the band as I had just heard their music on records! sigh

1:30 the walking bass line I always looks forward to. Just a brilliant song and man does this video trigger some memories.

One of the best songs of all time

Pavement are brilliant..'brighten the corners' is a superb old album too..give it a go people

A loud piercing beep is more offensive than the word "fuck" to me

Slacker anthem of ALL TIME !

Stephan Malkmus - the god of slackness!!! Buddy, he'll never outdo this - his finest moment!

josh klinghoffer brought me here and i’m so happy he did!

Discovered Pavement yesterday and all the comments beneath these videos just make me so happy.. this band is so great

esta canción se siente como caminar sin ganas una tardecita de verano y decir que paja caminar pero en el fondo la estás pasando bien

Love this , reminds me of a Lou Reed song .

Amo essa música ,escutava nos meus 13 anos idade ,voltando aqui nos 32❤❤

the reluctant leaders of the alt rock school of indie music in the 90s.

This song makes me wanna break lockdown curfew and skate to the beach, on the empty roads in the middle of the night.

I love this song and Pavement and i am pretty much sure i am in this video albeit in the crowd at the UK festival gigs. Very very happy memories

Best band of the 90's.

Pavement might just be the perfect band.

I floated over here on Billy Corgan's tears. Hi!

Probably one of my favourite pavement songs.

The 90s truly had the best tunes and lifestyle. Fuckin beautiful carefree life...i would kill to have the chance to live it

Such a pretty song . 👍

It makes me smile a warm smile that Billy Corgan is STILL peed off he is name checked in this song, and it's been like 20 something years.

They just played this on the Australian tour. Was fantastic. First saw them in 1993

One of the best bands to ever grace this planet.. thank you Mr Black... x. You know who you arex

My life wasnt the same after I listened to this

Steven Malkmus grew up in the age of cynicism and irony, so it's hard to tell when he's being sincere. He is sometimes.

I always cry when this song comes up in my player.

This is probably their best song

I remember playing the SHIT out of this tape when it came out. I had to buy it THREE times!

During my visits to Vancouver, BC, I always felt like a character in a Pavement video.

This is a great band definitely in my top 20 favorite bands

the whole effect is miraculous

Shark boy got the "dream dream dream dream dream" inspiration from this song

That bleep was totally... totally... nonintrusive... yeah.

Wonderful

The best rock and roll song ever recorded? Maybe.

some of the best sets of lyrics in here!! and I love the length too- it goes for just the right amount of time

my life wouldnt be complete without Pavement music vids

This is the ultimate Festival song from the ultimate festival band.Just get wasted with the crowd,then go on stage and have fun.I could happily sit on the grass,smoking weed in the sunshine,listening to these guys,all day.

Watching "Flaked" fade out it's final episode with this song playing was so perfect. Malkmus did the OST for that show and kills it. If you've not heard his snippet of "Margaritaville" then do yourself a favor and search for it.

Smoking on a Tuesday afternoon - cheers.

How such an amazingly awesome song only has 100k views I will never understand.

If you guys like this, Stephen Malkus was also a member of The Silver Jews and The Jicks.

I remember pavement having two drummers. In Barrie at Lolapalooza. They were very trippy.

I'm offended by the censorship

eu quero abraçar todo mundo que ta ouvindo essa música agora eh isto

pavement ist rad

i think this video, this compilation of moving images, probably has an emotional core with a very particular someone and that alone is a human experience.

I am 100% sure i am in this video, well somewhere in the crowd :)

Probably one of the finest songs ever written.

From the Shawshank open to girl with the purple lipstick, this gets me every time

I dont have time to look it up to know what STP were like back then, but I do remember reading the STP brothers like Pavement.

these vocals remind me so much of "The Thrills" especially the first album. Another great band

the most relaxed Pavement ever

listening to this on my cd player is always such a vibe.....

The early 90s were my favourite time being alive. . 80s was ok, 00s- meh? 92 to 2000... jeez some good times were had... i miss it, i hate knowing itll never be that great to be alive for me... shit happens i guess

I'm floating as I listen to this and didn't need any drugs.

This song reminds me of the days when I could stay awake for a week and feel OK after a couple of hours sleep and beans on toast! ☠️

I can listen to this song all day. Wake up people.

College days memories 94-97 LHU...💙
