Buddy's been gone for more than 60 years but his music still lives on!!

[ZackBlackMusic]

Matt never ceases to amaze me, thanks for sharing that awesome video with ALL of US! I love the animation. such patience and skill.

[xrockangelx]

This version is constantly getting stuck in my head.

[RunOfTheHind]

I just woke up from a dream where I was listening to Poison Cup by M.Ward and in the dream it morphed intoBuddy's Rave On. So, I wake up, listen to Poison Cup and then search for Rave On, only to find M.Ward has done a cover!

[Ripster]

Don't worry, we're still listening.

[HenkeStrummer]

Wicked video! Best thing I've seen this week. Fab song!

[Temumimi]

Just heard this in a bar and am
A big fan of Buddy and the Crickets, then realized it was Zoey?! And now I’ve learned of M. Good day!

i love how the tv anchor shakes when the dude plucks the cable wire haha

[NaomiLovesDifferent]

i dont really understand the video O.o
but love the song :D

i'm so glad i discovered mr.Ward

[tlrmcknnn]

I really want to know how at the end they film stopmotion outside without the light moving. If it is not actually outside it looks freaking real. And i love the whole message where the T.V.s are being thrown out the window and they are all coming out on their bikes instead of being couch potatoes and closing the curtains.

I wish this was the kind of music that played at parties...

[Houdini]

This has to be my in my top 10 favorite songs. Does anyone have any other really awesome/moving songs like this one?

[nhf]

Did he forget that this is supposed to be a rock and roll song? Where's the feeling? Where's the power?

[CarlGorn]

Zooey did background vocals here. Her voice is part of the chorus.

[RonNeijmanIndo]

the voice of the leadsinger reminds me of the late Gram Parsons

[lyon]

What goes
Buddy took old songs and made them "modern"
This is a great "modern" cover of a great Holly song..
Good work
