I just fully realized what this song means. It's the torture someone goes through when they believe they are going to be hurt by someone. When they have been hurt before and don't want to be hurt again. When they are expecting the person that they love to find a substitution for them, a replacement. The battle of the self, the negative inner voice, the feeling of being out of control. This song to me is about a person who fully expects to be hurt and let down. Such a good song, and so important that we have art like this to encapsulate such a specific emotion that a lot of people deal with.

One of the most under appreciated alternative bands of all time.

"When reactions turn into hurricanes" gets me everytime

[chrisclancy]

90's alt fan here and these guys are one of a handful keeping the genre alive.

The dirty looks, the sass, the straight faces after every round, so fun lol. Would love to see the bloopers.

[Marsolene]

I'm in awe of this background singer. She does her job so well you can almost forget his voice is enhanced because of hers- it blends so subtly <3

Just 3 bars in you can always recognize this band. They are amazing

One of the most under appreciated alternative bands of all time, only has 9 million views, must be 9 billion views

chick bass player, left handed drummer, unique singing, this band is officially BOSS

[renmagadia]

Hearing this song reminds me of how chill and laid-back the summer of 2009 was. 

[jeffcutsforth]

This is one of the most incredible bands ever to exist. Every song is perfection

[mynameamike]

I had the honor of seeing these guys back in 2010 when they opened for Muse. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life

[Chubzdoomer]

This tune has such a smooth flow. This band is so underrated it's not even funny.

[waySaline]

One of those bands where each member is absolutely vital. They're just brilliant, in studio and live.

[searcherT]

This is one of those rare bands where talent is spread throughout the band. No lack of originality Definitely Rock!!!

I didn't realize how amazing the drummer is....he makes this song

[JKaiserable]

Gives me 2009 Nostalgia... 2007-2011 was such an awesome time for indie.

[haydenr]

This is honestly probably one of the better rythmic alternative song I've heard in my life. How is this song/band not so much bigger?!

[MrSlayingsanta]

honestly I think the drummer is the coolest out of all of them. In every one of their videos he's always just destroying those drums and doing his own thing. Dude's a badass.
