I just LOVE this video - the old footage of the band members as boys and playing together in their early days, followed by video of their children at their concerts. Most of them went to the same high school and have played together for years, and The Walkmen have been a band since 2000. It's so touching to me to see the close friendships of men, perhaps because they usually gloss over such deep feelings. It's a lovely video and song, and the rest of the album is excellent as well.
Our children will always hear
Romantic tales of distant years
Our guilty age may come and go
Our crooked dreams will always glow
Stick with me, oh, you're my best friend
All of my life, you've always been
Remember, remember
All we fight for
Remember, remember
All we fight for
Don't leave me, oh, you're my best friend
All of my life, you've always been
Don't leave me now, you're my best friend
All of my life, you've always been
Remember, remember
All we fight for
Remember, remember
All we fight for
Here's another recent video of them on Jimmy Fallon playing The Love You Love, which is also from their new album, Heaven.
