Will Toledo is the only man who can make me sit on the edge of my seat for 5 minutes of straight drum beats with eager anticipation

[eigoogg]

car seat headrest is the only band that can make me listen to 10+ minute songs without ever having the urge to skip

[WhaleTime]

Looking back at this and remembering Andrew (the drummer) had diarrhea at the same time as this performance

[justinc.]

Shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah

[nancyboyx]

an AD??? a fckinG AD? RIGHT IN THE LAST 20 SECONDS OF THE BREAKDOWN AT THE END!! ive never felt so blueballed in my life . ANYWAYS this is incredible

[gwendeseminatr]

Its so beautiful that andrew actually had to embody wills born in isolation bullshittery. Like just the same derpy drum beat for two hours. And he just got all up in a suit and had diarrea to do it. Andrew is to car seat what having a child is to a parent. My dad used to always say i gave him a secound life csuse he could do kid shit again

[yousmokemid]

One of the best song intros, quite possibly, of all time...and I must say I like this rendition much better than the original studio version.

[shadielperez]

i listen to this performance about 7 times a day no joke

[allyski]

i love all these boys, but ethan’s movement and performance in this video is nothing short of amazing

[vinnydabird]

Every time I come back to this I’m reminded why I fell in love with car seat headrest

[allyski]

i love the original version as there’s something about the synths, but the guitars are just 👌

[craigwatson]

I just stumbled across this version of a song I love, by what I believe are the best band for many years and it utterly blew me away. This was the band I listened to most last year and it probably will be again this year. Will you are a genius songwriter and damn good on vocals. Been lucky enough to this band live twice, reminds me why I miss live music so much.

[Lellos_]

Love how they 'quoted' Bowie's Station To Station. Love it!

[thisbreadisfine]

if you notice at around the 3:00 mark, will occasionally plays the intro to fill in the blank in the riff

[aldc]

The Ending Of Dramamine if it was recorded for Teens Of Denial

[allyski]

every time i watch this video i earn a year onto my life thank you will, andrew, seth, and ethan

[mryayokay]

MY GODDDDI LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE SO MUCH

[bad_spike]

The drunk's face breaks into sweat
As his friend falls under the wheels
But the headlights don't flinch and the engine doesn't stutter
Oh, yeah
Think about myself, I think about myself
Care about myself, I care about myself
I only care about myself
And other fears too stupid to mention
The ending of 'Dramamine' scared Degnan
The way that you all see me
That's who I am, but not who I need to be
Moving my joke body through the cold November night
Ha-ha
Hate yourself, do you hate yourself?
I don't hate myself, I tolerate myself
I wish I was someone else
But it feels too stupid to mention
I know I'll be ripped in Heaven
I was young, I was thin
I had money, and I loved you
But then came the

I need a name for what I'm feeling
Then, I can start to work on a meaning
Speaking of the
(oh, yeah)
In a crowded room, you will
Hear your own opinion voiced
You can sit back without a word, watch it spread or fall silent
Oh, yeah
If it's too late to speak, I could get out of bed
Find a pencil and write, leave it for you to find
If the moment is gone
To say I figured out what the problem was
I'd been thinking about it earlier
Hey, can you hear me now?
Am I alone in my futile efforts?
Sometimes I get so mad I can't do the few things I usually can
Which is sad
Occupying space, I know I take up space
Will there be a space for my soul in space?
That's Heaven to me

And now, I'm young, and I'm thin
And I have money, and I love you
But here comes the

I need a name for what I'm feeling
Then, I can start to work on a meaning
Speaking of the (thanks for fucking with my head, come again soon)
(thanks for fucking with my head, come again soon)
And in the sky, there is a place where it's warm, and you're there
And I've got the power now
Yeah, I know what to do to make you feel something besides pain
'Cause it's the love that we've come to expect, to deserve
And then we fuck, and it's nice, it's not a complicated mess
And my back doesn't hurt
And your head doesn't tell you to kill yourself
So we smile and embrace until we don't know who we are
I can't hear a thing now
I guess I belong to me now
But when night fell on Montana, I found a rest stop completely deserted
But I still felt the eyes upon me, so I drove away

[breastmilkmotel]

You gotta appreciate Andrews consistency

[justinc.]

I really like the beginning to The Ending Of Dramamine. Great live version
