How To Write An 'Indie Rock' Song

Combining elements from bands like Arcade Fire, the Lumineers, and Vampire Weekend, this song was written and recorded in two days, and then we made a video that looks like an Urban Outfitters commercial.

Music written and recorded by Jared Sosa

Performed by Jared Sosa and Jamie Renee Williams

This might just be the greatest BuzzFeed video of all.

I hate that 8 years on, I still come back to listen to this absolute banger

[pikachu]

"Love still remains, but it's skin has shed and exposed all it's veins", this sounds like something that Arcade Fire or F.U.N. would legitimetely/ironically write.

[queequegtheater]

I used to be a hipster, but now it's so mainstream...

[whatwhatbob]

Definitely nailed it, considering I fucking loved this song. 

[redjaredits]

I really like this song. In an ironic way of course though...

[VigorMortis]

Is it bad that I really love this song? And that it's actually made me think... a lot of the songs I like are like this.

[hannahjoycheng]

Oh my god it's Wake Up by Arcade Fire!!

[connormaclane]

times like these I realise I am probably a hipster at heart

[claireg]

am i the only one who thinks this was amazing

[mitjakocjancic]

This is a perfect example of a song I would hate.

[EpicRainbowLollipop]

I love how they just use "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire in the end

[tz]

i always come back to this video and it’s more nostalgic than ever. i hope the pals i watched this with are okay

[Upprorr]

The thing that sucks is that I would actually listen to this song.

[reef]

i honestly like the song.. but your video should have that faded film/vsco cam filters..

[dadunckerD]

1:34 did he just actually drop a perfectly good guitar....
#heartbroken

[gwaladrielle]

I hate how accurate the emotional build part is...I'm looking at you Coldplay!

[yaylifeyay]

this is arcade fire's "wake up" with bits of mumford and sons' "the cave", and even a bit of alt-j's breeze blocks

[eichbienyermaw]

Ahaha, brilliant, couldn't stop laughing!!! Loved the little Arcade Fire bit at the end.

[wilob]

"This song was written ironicaly." haha.
Love the song though!
