[TheOGRett]

The drummer has great vocals. Especially having that control while drumming. Great addition to the band

[ShikariHybryd]

When you find a new song you love and pray it sounds just as good live...then it does. Colour me impressed

[awesomeat]

It's always better when they have three female voices on this song at 2:50 to the end. Sheridan to continue the chorus for Molly. Kerri to sing "don't let motion distort everything". And of course Molly to do that mesmerizing gentle angelic wail.

[francoisbergeron]

Solid, strong, emotional, conveying, balanced, harmonious, longing, melancholy, vulnerable....all things human and beautiful.

[BroderHugos]

Oh this is too much for tiny little me. The chorus gets me every time. Lovely tune.

[beewcar]

Sheridan killing it on the vocals! What a wonderful addition to an already awesome band.

[Wolf.and.Wander]

The best song The Smiths never wrote! So good.

[spillsndebris]

This song is so beautiful. The backing vocals are amazing.

Alvvays - Dream Tonite

Rode here on the bus
Now you're one of us
It was magic hour
Counting motorbikes on the turnpike
One of Eisenhower's

Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

On the lead guitar
Said you'd go to work
In the waking hour
In fluorescent light
Antisocialites watch a wilting flower

Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

Don't sit by the phone for me
Wait at home for me, all alone for me
Your face was supposed to be hanging over me like a rosary
So morose for me; seeing ghosts of me; writing oaths to me
Is it so naive to wonder

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

I heard this song on the radio today and I came home and have listened to it a dozen times in various versions tonight. What a needed piece of music

[jesse]

I tell you what, Antisocialites is one of the best albums of the decade. I can listen to every song on the album over and over and never tire of it. They do such a great job live on KEXP too!

[friedspam]

wooow somehow this is even better than the album version??!!!!

[gustavosousa]

Superb as alvvays!! I love the bridge of this song

[nacrevoit]

Met a new friend while singing this song to myself... Thank you for the perfect soundtrack to the nightmare I call living

[ThexMaNGoZ]

Seeing them tonight and this get uploaded same day

[patg]

Wow they sound exactly like the studio ver…we don’t get these very often in modern days with all the post auto tunes. Really glad I found them

[ifoundmypurposeifoundmyp]
