Nada Surf – Always Love
“Always Love” was the first song I heard by indie rock band Nada Surf. I was living in Russia for the summer with no TV, having to buy internet cards to get my fix of music and entertainment. A friend sent a link to Nada Surf music videos on YouTube, encouraging me to check them out. “Always Love” was the top video on the page and within seconds of the song, Matthew Caws’ voice and lyrics impressed me:
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that said
Always love Hate will get you every time
Always love Don’t wait til the finish line
Overall, I really like Nada Surf’s lyrics, and this one definitely stands out amongst the other songs for me. The music video isn’t bad either… Filmed in a TV graveyard somewhere in Eastern Europe, my favorite region, Nada Surf pulls off a great music video for “Always Love” (see below).
I was able to see Nada Surf in concert for the first time this past spring at The Filmore, my first show at the famous venue, right here in San Francisco. They were joined by another great indie artist who I had the pleasure seeing, Sea Wolf. As always, I loved the show, as I do most of the time. They’re in Europe touring right now for all your Europeans and vacationers, but I highly recommend you look for them when Nada Surf returns this fall to the U.S.
