Sloan - The Other Man Lyrics

Lived this song.... both ways. Love the band and song but brings back not so good memories.

Saw them in Vancouver! Sick show

I used to think Sloan is British . They got Oasis & The Verve mixed in them .

Not sure how this doesn’t have more views... great tune.

perfect under dog song<

Before I Die

Lustrous, textured production. The song and feel is George Harrison/Beatles in many ways. Fantastic.

Come to The Maritimes.Great Hospitality and Seafood.

This song makes me feel dirty.. Or was I feeling dirty so I listened to this song?

I love this song, and have since it came out. Even if I have not heard it in a while, it still pops into my head every so often. So chill, yet badass.

great song

WoW the apple computers that failed really dated this video. 😁

LOL.---------------The Crooked-Will Get Theirs.-----------------Guaranteed.

Views R Disgusting--------------------Some Things R Controlled by The Crooked.

This Band-----Genius------------Been listening to Q104 Halifax Lately-----What an Awesome Radio Station.

Does this bother me?Yes--------------It kills my Innocence.

Look at these Kids.Way ahead of their Time. Just an Awesome Song.And Yes'They Are Canadian.

Awesome Band.Great Song.Love the Video.

Hm, all these years and I had no idea there was a video for this great song. Weird thing is, the song tells such a clear story, yet the video really doesn't depict it at all, unless you think smirking kid violinist somehow equals the romantic manipulator of the lyrics.

0:34 holy shit, I think that's Peter Ostrum from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!

Alberta Strong.

love it

such a great song!

This song reminds me of going to class and all the students stare at you when you walk into the room.

Canadian rock at it’s finest

i feel like a wound - ns0mnby

ns0mnby? Anyone?

*This should have 10+ million views* . It's ridiculous how little visibility Canadian bands have on American radio stations and on YouTube. It borders on censorship. This is as good as anything on the radio. Period.

You basically have to wait until an American band does a cover version of this song before people in America will know about it.

Sounds like a cop off of death note in the beginning

2:28 rockin' the iMac G3s

I'm the other man, that everyone dispises.

I'm the other man,

Best song by Sloan

“We’ve all been in one situation or another we regret...”

the part where he turns his head in slow motion.... I could watch that repeatedly all day.

I used to have a huge crush on Chris Murphy. Loved his songs the most. I met him, and he seemed like such a nice guy. This is such an awesome song, but I must admit, I don't have too much respect for someone who tries to steal what isn't there's

I always feel like I'm the other man

2 weeks 'till I get to see them live finally!!!!!!!!

Some of the greatest vocal harmonizing ever; Sloan are absolutely sublime musicians. Canadian gold.

A great band.

This song is Canadian gold!

This song never gets old. I love Canadian music. 😊

2018 Anyone!

Back in time

some of nova scotia's finest

FUN FACT: the kid in the video was twelve at the time of shooting. And a total dork.

It was yooooou!
😎

Basically the Canadian Beatles.

Saw Sloan Yesterday for Canada Day! They were in Ajax Ontario, and they rocked the hell out of Durham Ontario! LOL Sloan- Keep doing what you do best! Rock!

:) ybnm0sn morf ereh mi

hit like if you found this song through ns0mnby

Who is the Charlie Bucket kid in the video? How adorable! Great band!!

I was going to say the same thing.

I feel like a wound.

this video is not up to the task of representing this amazing songwriting.

hystat comes pretty dang close, though.

I'm going to see these guys tonight in my hometown (Fredericton) !!!!!!!

Kris Bailey how was it?

hey i live in fredericton too

Fredericton represent!

Such a ridiculously underrated band. Living in Detroit, there is a huge kindred spirit with Canada, so, many Canadian artists have found huge audiences here. The crossing from Windsor to Detroit is the virtual and literal gateway for Canadian bands. I constantly laud the artists, and implore friends to check out the incredible music from our neighbor to the North. Actually, if you are standing in downtown Detroit, Canada is our neighbor to the South.

That said, I'm really pissed that I missed Sloan here in Detroit on May 12. Please come back soon!

And in Tecumseh, Canada, we see you guys to the south of us

There's plenty of us enlightened Sloan fans in the USA. Of course, it helped that I grew up in Albany, NY and WEQX actually played Sloan circa '92. Been a lifelong fan of Sloan (and The Hip...and The Odds) ever since!

Outside some of these bands the United States has only heard Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, and some big hits from Three Days Grace.

Hey. Thanks for that. We Canadians do not need approval from Americans, as very many Americans think. Being our large neighbour, we are exposed to a lot of your ways, but are very cognizant of how VERY different we are, and realize most Americans don't know this (nor can fathom anything otherwise). I love the Americans, like you, that are humble people. And I feel bad for you, that some of your countrypeople think (how embarrassing for you), stupidly, that the rest of the world wants to be you! In other words, You are cool and the States should be proud that you represent!

Believe me, there are many of us Americans who would much rather be Canadian right now.

Bullet Proof Daisy YES

when you're related to Chris Murphy

when you make shit up that no one would be impressed by even if it were true

@Jesse Cole I was scrolling through the comments on this video again and I'd forgotten I even made this comment, idk why you'd be so harsh though (especially since I'm not lying either)

@MindReader Oh.my god... you came back two years later to AGAIN claim something that would impress no one even if it were true.

Canada strong baby

dwes49 😎

Having a reunion with my love of Sloan. Got to see them again in Dundas over the weekend, they haven't lost a step, though Patrick had lost his voice that night :(

C A N A D A J A M S

Love this song

This song always gives me chills! I love, love, love it!!! The video is great too.

I remember when this used to be on much music count down in the mornings

One of my favs for sure!!

"I know you got man in the picture but it hasn't stopped me yet"

Jessie Garcia my favorite! Lol

Love it

This songs sick

Still love this

Lmao I remember filming this. Was awesome experience working with them back in the day! Great bunch of guys!

Cool story, thanks for sharing

Prove it

NO KIMBERLEY! STOP IT!

I think this would have been a hit in the 60s.

The kid got the girl .... that's what counts.
Snooze you loose.

So when I filmed this like 16 years ago I was 12 and the girl in the video was 18. I was TERRIFIED and SUPER AWKWARD.

These lyrics though. Oh my. Ahaha

Man, next to the simpering love songs and wannabe heroes on the radio at the time, this was gold.

still good

Hey! It's Centennial College! Near Pape & Danforth, Toronto, Canada.

That's right Count! I know a girl who went there. She said: "Check out this video...Recognize anything ?"  HAHA.

+Count Wolfula Yep, I went there from 1999 to 2003 for night classes. The room with the big glass window that looks into all the computers is where I took a Photoshop course and I was in a few other of the rooms that are highlighted in the video. It was a great campus that has since changed quite a bit!

They should've gotten that little blonde douche to play Joffrey "Baratheon".

Mossad.

~ Love this tune ^0^ ~

one of Canada's greatest bands!!!

FAL r no doubt!

The best example of Canadian alt rock. We don't wanna be Nickelback, Canadians are more suited to humble. When Gord passed, R.I.P. these guys look the torch IMO. Long live Sloan

When I heard this song this summer, It was very nostalgic since i hadn't heard it since 2001.

Tell me about it, this was my jam in high school. I sorta had the same thing going but it didn't look nearly as good. Nerd romance <3 lol

this song was good

@Tony Midnight it was a good song you should listing to some good music 

Your commenting on a canadian video, fuck right off.

Darling Geoff is hardly literate enough to spell his name. Suffice it to say that people will do what they do, and generally for a very good reason. Would I "cheat"? That depends. Are we married? Does he love honour and cherish? Or does he chain smoke when it makes me sick, and run a grow op? NEXT.

fuck you

You, sir, make me proud to be a Canadian

Typical brainwashed dumb fuck American. You think that signing up for Marines/Military makes you a hero because that is what your corrupt Government tells you. I've got news for you, any "Wars" fought in the last 15 years were pointless and all had hidden agenda's to benefit your Government and the Elite. Hope you enjoyed killing to line the pockets of greedy motherfuckers. Take your brainwashed ass out of here and go learn to think for yourself.

I think this is based on Ludwig Van Beethoven. The guy has an uncanny resemblance to him, and Beethoven wrote two famous compositions for his girlfriends, Moonlight Sonata and Fur Elise. (But they both refused his marriage proposals.) To top it off, he was a musical genius! :)
But of course, these are only my thoughts. :)

gotta do what you gotta do sometimes relationships are waiting to end you just gotta be there to put in the KAPOW! not saying go around search for women with boyfriends but fuck, if they are on the way out do what u gotta do !

Yea, you're actually a peice of shit. for all the single ladies to be out there. you got to fuckwith another mans. bad shit you do too others will in time come around in some forum or another. I hope you get kidnapped Hostile style and tortured you ignorant shit.

LOL! That's me. I think you're right. :(

That guitar riff reminds me of deathnote

I'm assuming the 2005 remake?

When your the Taliban, no ones rooting for you....

singer looks a little like Jeffrey Dahlmer!

Someone stole my girlfriend, but i still can't help liking this song

This song helped me feel awesome instead of morally conflicted when i was banging some dudes chick.

That’s pathetic

I hadn't heard this song in over a decade (seriously) until hearing it on the radio last week. Rediscovering great music is awesome!

their best song

Canadian rock will always be the best!

"unbeknownst" and "abhor" ...songwriter has brains!

gmkbelanger Chris writes absolute bangers!
