Please Welcome ‘The Cools’

The band is Crush Luther and this is their song ‘The Cools’.

Why do I like this song and the video?

1> I can understand the words.

2> It tells a nostalgic, bittersweet story of a high school boy, his band and his girlfriend.

3> It does not end well, but the boy gets through it. Bittersweetly.

The next day. Like it? Hell, I love it. I watched it five times last night. The more I watch, the more I see.

    And it tells a simple, good story (that is not great art) considering the medium and the context.

    Nice.

  2. Himself Says:

    And to be honest, the last contemporary song/video I liked was Avril Lavigne’s ‘Girlfriend’, but not this much.

    ‘The Cools’ - lotsa fun.

    Hey! I just found out they’re Canadian and Torontonian!

    Coolness.

    I’m going to check out their other songs on youtube.
