For SoundCheckers old and new, here is one from back in 2007 from Silversun Pickups entitled “Lazy Eye” off their debut album Carnavas. The music video is believed to be a cliff note of the Swedish film ‘A Swedish Love Story’.

It takes place in a club, possibly in the 1970s or 1980s judging by the hairstyles and clothing, brimming with teenagers dancing to the song as the band plays live on stage. The video alternates between the band playing, and a young girl with short hair.

The girl notices a boy that shows up, she first ignores him and dances with another guy, notably when the song takes an angrier tone. The boy sits down for a while, looking very depressed, then waits outside, talking with friends. The girl eventually leaves the club, and sees him outside waiting, just like she waited for him. This reveals to her that he really does care about her, and they leave in good temper.” (Wikipedia)

If you have never heard this before I ensure you that it is a great listen.

Also, if you are into the Guitar Hero franchise you can find this song on Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour.

Happy Friday!
