Some day, when one guy in the world
Finally owns everything and when
I'm sure that he's not thinking of me
When he says, 'Hi there,
I really am your friend
Sorry, I'm doing all I can
For you and I really mean that!'
Nobody ever asked me what I wanted from them and then
Listened to me say, they only ask me again
That's about the time I'll be going to the moon
And then that's where I'll stay, far away, from here
Someday, when I can't take this place
I'll take a trip out into space
I think I mean it!

Perhaps the most under appreciated band from Seattle? This is SO good.
@startervisions
Yup...a perfect pop band with perfect pop songs
@marcgrossman980
Also the best band from Seattle.

I discovered this band about eight years ago, whilst watching the movie Hype! I was about 27. I couldn't believe I had never heard them before. I've loved them ever since. I'm addicted. Every album is amazing. Some songs are better than others but ALL are good. I don't know whether to be happy as one of the enlightened to discover their brilliance or sad because they really do not get the recognition, exposure or appreciation they deserve. I'll stay positive and stick with the former for now.
@ExplodingTacoCat
hell yeah this band rules. you should listen to the band “ovens” they sound a lot like the Fastbacks
@dannyspelman1468
@@ExplodingTacoCat I'll definitely check them out.
@ExplodingTacoCat
@@dannyspelman1468 https://youtu.be/ea5LfrFuOBU here they are man, their lead singer claimed that the fastbacks are the whole reason he began this band, you can also see a lot of early weezer influence
@dannyspelman1468
@@ExplodingTacoCat Excellent! I love early Weezer!
@ExplodingTacoCat
Danny Spelman yeah weezer was tight, also if you dig the ovens sound their lead singer tony Molina does solo work which is just as great, check out his albums “dissed and dismissed” and “songs from Mateo county” those are two great albums that literally sound so much like Fastbacks/Pinkerton and blue
@marcgrossman980
What a great song! Excellent band. KB is a great songwriter.
