  • I love this song more than life itself and its a shame that not even half a million people have watched it. This song changes lives.

  • i love it nu: my android talks for me

  • What kind of bonehead (apparently there are at least 21 of them) would dislike this live performance? I highly recommend that you buy this Live at Ventura DVD!! The entire performance is off the hook!!

  • This song is so fucking epic. I'll listen to this for the rest of my life.

  • Comment removed

  • 6:33-6:45

    Does anybody know how to play that part? I've been wanting to learn that one part because thats not in the piano sheets. I think he made that up as he was playing

  • This song is awesome. Reminds me of a very special night.

  • Omg I listen to this song everyday it's just so effing amazing, it really sums up a relationship that I just got out of!!!

  • green beans

  • That is fantastic for live. Wow.

  • There really are no words for how amazing this one man is.

  • Love Jack's Mannequin, but they don't put out songs like this. Here's hoping for a Something Corparate reunion sometime soon. (i know its not likely)

  • Got an Amazon gift voucher as a gift.... GUESS WHAT I'LL BE GETTING :-)!

  • brings back great memories!

  • THE DEPARTING DISTRICT would go great with these guys!!!

  • how can you not like this?

  • Umm best song of all time? i think so

  • my sisters old boyfriend hooked up with the girl this is about

  • this has been my favorite song for the longest time. A day does not go by where I don't listen to a version of this song at least twice. I hope one day i will get the honor to see this preformed live, although with the reunion tour last year, I don't think that will be anytime so or ever for that matter.

  • Chills. Right to my bones.

  • I just can't even. His voice - his lyrics - his advice - just him...he brought me out of a depression. I owe Andrew my life and so much more. <3

  • I freakin' love this song!!!! I can't stop listening to it!!!!

  • this takes me back to back when i were at school i'll always love this song

  • An amazing way to spend 10 minutes.

  • I have been a Something Corporate fan for years I enjoy both of the two worlds of music and talent even if Andy is now solo in Jack's Mannequins.

  • Perfection.

  • Every time I listen to this song, it tells me new things and gets to me like nothing else can. So truly magnificent and beautiful. I'll never understand how he writes these words.

  • this is my favorite song ever.

  • Best part at 6:25 ...I'm not your STAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR

    that's perfectly beautiful.

  • this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever had the pleasure to listen to. <3

  • nine minutes of pure poetry.. this song is perfect..

  • will always be one of my favorite songs.

  • How the fuck could anyone dislike this?!

  • Beautiful. Most emotional and real song ever written.

  • lulz at the people who screamed when he said "and i'm naked"

  • I feel bad, because I really can't get into SC as a whole, but this song is absolutely fucking amazing, there's no way to deny it. And this version is beautiful.

  • @strawberrygirlxD16 i can only enjoy their live acoustic music and this song

  • "It's to dying in another's arms, sometimes we have to try it" I love that lyric change there, cause it's so fucking true.

  • One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard.

  • Am I the only one who is tired of: (number of dislikes) people are (blank) comments? It's lame and old.

  • @ThirdReelProductions Totally agreed. I also don't seem to figure out how people like those comments.

  • This song makes me cry EVERY time I listen to it. Fave soco song for sure though :)

  • This song is just so beautiful it moves me to tears

  • 14 people will never be your konstantine, andrew

  • I don't know how anyone can dislike this song.

  • most played song on my ipod. 612 plays

  • "I always catch the clock, it's 11:11. Now you wanna talk."

  • makes me cry every time

  • It's amazing how quiet it is while he's playing. Nice to see the fans appreciate it enough to shut up and listen.

  • @kme06d actually everyone is singing but thankfully this recording has most of their voices drowned out.

  • @kme06d It's not actually that quiet, they just edit the crowd out for the dvd o:

  • @aiacospsyko no they don't i was there when he did that performance and it was quiet like dead quiet.

  • haha to the girls who scream when he says naked lol

  • What a amazing song!!

    You have to turn on this song in a night, on full volume, in a dark room, where only the light from the stars and the moon comes in, no other people around and think about you life and love.... you won't regret it....

  • This is poetry of the soul

  • I will never stop loving this song. Something about just strikes a chord in me. :)

  • i'm not your starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr = <3

    this kid's got more than talent.

    (also, when he smiles at 7:00, i fell in love(: )

  • I truly do believe this song changed me. I first heard it years ago when a friend suggested I listen to it. Best 10 minutes of my life.

    Sometimes, this song becomes my lullaby. It soothes me.

    "you say the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past..."

  • who is?

  • 12 people have failed at life

  • This song changed my life. When they played it at their reunion show in Toronto, I was captivated by his voice. I closed my eyes and felt tears build up. It was the most beautiful ten minutes I can recall.

  • I only listen to this when I'm drunk. Thanks she-devil.

  • Such a great song! They're so good live!

  • I kinda want this song at my wedding. Weird, but its a song that has forever changed me. So beautiful.

  • Konstantine has been my favorite song for a couple monthes now. I love it.

  • heard the 11:11 verse.. then glanced at the clock. It was 11:11. Then I heard "DROOOOOIIIIDDDD" .. it was from her <3

  • I just can't stop listening to this. It's too amazing.

  • the most underrated song ever

  • I absolutely love the Jimmy Eat World reference here; I'm close in age to Andrew and can remember being a teenager and the song "For Me This is Heaven" being my theme song. Makes me nostaglic. Also love the 11:11 verse :)

  • KCC

  • This is in my list of top 5 songs!

  • Know that they will never be able to be together and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love. This is the saddest song I've ever heard but I'll never be able to stop listening to it.

  • If there was one thing I could ask this band is how does he do it? How can he manage to live without her without being miserable ever second of the day? This songs breaks my heart thinking about how stupid mistakes could end up ruining everything and how he just wants her to be happy even if it takes away his happiness. I mean if you can right a ten minute song about a girl and about how sorry he is and how he let go of her to make her happy. That's what love is and it's so heartbreaking to kno

  • @TheDeathlyhallows123

    Andrew Mcmahon wrote this song a long time ago. He's married now.

    and he wont play it anymore. he plays other SC songs at JM concerts, but not this song.

    I'm not trying to take away the emotions of the song or anything but im sure he has moved on by now. Although it is hard to believe anyone could truly get rid of emotions like this. They have to be down there somewhere.

    This is my favorite song of all time.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG.

    You know the band is good, when they change the song a little when its live :)

  • Comment removed

  • Why is Bobby Raw there? Was he with Something Corporate too? I'm not really familiar with Something Corporate, I'm more of a Jack's Mannequin fan

  • @imrockin122 That's so sad... I've loved SoCo for over 9 years, so it's just hard to imagine someone being a Jack's Mannequin fan BEFORE being a SoCo fan. lol. you should listen to more of their stuff, cause it's truly amazing.

  • @imrockin122 That's so sad... I've loved SoCo for over 9 years, so it's just hard to imagine someone being a Jack's Mannequin fan BEFORE being a SoCo fan. lol. you should listen to more of their stuff, cause it's truly amazing.

  • same here

  • This is my favourite thing....ever!

  • kinda a depressing song but a great song definately

  • I get goosebumps every time.

  • Oh, hello, Heaven.

    Also, this is one of the reasons I wish I wasn't born in 1995. I was too young to enjoy this music when it came out. But, at least I'm one of the few of my generation who actually likes good music.

  • @katdf123 I love to hear that you appreciate good music. that's amazing man. keep on rocking out in the free world. you will find out that many more your age appreciate good music too.

  • @katdf123 make that two!

  • @katdf123 cool, im not the only one!

  • Oh, hello, Heaven.

  • I can't head into work without listening to this at least 3 times...

  • @StuartWNCarv hope you have a long drive

  • " so afraid to find out all this hope, you had sent into the sky by now had crashed" .. <3 i love the way he says 'crashed'

  • 11 people didn't like this video and you can't change that so shut the fuck up you fucking dumbasses

  • 11 dislikes? 11:11 holey shit O_O!

  • saw them live in Milwaukee, and they left the stage, the crowd started chanting "Konstantine' and they came back out and played it!!! Love em

  • @MynameisMoen greatest show ive ever been to :D

  • The best part of this song is from 0:00 to 9:38

  • saw him live and he litereallllly sounded exactly the same. i just closed my eyes and embraced this song. it's so beautiful.

  • This Song Is So Amazing! :)

    *Teardrop....

  • 11 people are too busy wanking to take notice of what button they press.

  • This song leaves the most wonderful ache in my heart :). God they're amazing Live!

  • 11 people are just pissed because they have no one to think about when listening to this song.

  • I can never stop listening to this song. I love Andrew McMahon <3

  • Hahaha, the people screaming when he sang, "And I'm naked."

    Sorry, that made me giggle.

    But yes, this song is nothing but pure beauty and bliss. <33

  • Around where I live it seems like Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin fans are fairly rare, however when I meet one it seems like they are better people than others in general... Anyone else feel the same way?

  • @CoeXist5  Yes, I agree. :)

  • @CoeXist5 yeah!! lol

  • @CoeXist5 yet to meet another one where I live (Australia)

  • @CoeXist5 Yes I do agree. I think that most of the JM SoCo fans i find are a lot more open to talking to feelings and things.

  • @CoeXist5 I feel you, YouTuber.

  • damn he sings this perfectly!

  • absolutely. fucking. amazing.

  • so beautiful!

  • @TheCanky Hey faggot. Nobody gives a fuck about Justin Bieber. Listen to the music.

  • @TheMippo He means the 11 (now 12) people who disliked the video, as in, they don't appreciate good music. Let's play nice, now.

  • @Michellewthonel It doesn't matter. "omg people hav diffferent tastes in muzic than i do??!?! no waiii!!!!"

    Nobody fucking cares. Listen to the music and quit bitching because other people have opinions.

  • @TheCanky

    16 ;/

  • Pure genius. Everytime I watch this, I'm always smiling ear to ear, amazed at how much feeling he put into this song and how it shows throughout the whole song. It's just amazing.

  • incredible.

  • @ruinedwithregret Wow, way to be a total douche and correct everyone. So you know the whole story behind Konstantine, give yourself a pat on the back. No one really cares.

  • this was beautiful live <3

    thank you for making my dreams come true andrew...twice.

  • My favorite performance of any bit of music of all-time. Simply put, amazing. I know almost all of the meaning behind the lyrics as well.....moving, but sad at the same time...if you know the meaning, you'll know why.

  • i really realllyy reallyyyyy hope they play this next week in KC!!

  • beautiful, i bought the dvd just for this.

  • August 2nd in Minneapolis can't wait!

  • this song means alot to me, its nearly got me my ex back when i covered this song

  • I've never heard of this band before. YouTube is cool. A little soft for me but good song

  • @piggy65321 listen to if you c jordan by this band, this is just one side of them

  • Anyone by chance know how to play the beautiful little piano into he plays for this? :)

  • I really hate most of the angsty emo-ish music like this

    but this is closer to old prog ballads like in the 80's I really love this song it builds into a pretty epic journey even though his voice sounds like a whiny kids to me but the lyrics are just great honestly

  • August 7th, Toronto!! I think I might just cry when I hear this live!

    Finally being a fan for 7 years has paid off!! <3

  • oh my god. my high school self is currently dying. i'm seeing them in august in georgia and i couldn't possibly be more excited.

  • love it!

  • this better be played august 16th in orlando

  • @Sebastianscanes

    he won't play it, the song is painful for him to sing

  • @efs5030 he played it at bamboozle in chicago about a month ago.

  • @efs5030 it doesn't look like it's too painful for him here...

  • @efs5030 he won't play it usually because it's so long and he feels that, especially when he's playing with jack's mannequin, that there's so much more material he can fit into that time. Something Corporate played it at Bamboozle Left this year, and I believe a few more times since they started playing together again. Can't wait to see them August 13th in NYC.

  • What I would give to be at this concert...

  • in my opinion, the greatest love song ever written

  • Who are the 11 idiots who gave this a tumbs down

  • @GetSome200H8 i'm not sure, but they sure are idiots

  • wow...a million times better than the regalr version...answer is always better live..ive seen Jack's Mannequin live 3 months ago..so much better than the CDs =] this song is amazing

  • Im seeing them in concert in boston this summer. never been more excited in my life!

  • actually this song is about a girl andrew dated before his current wife. her name was krystal and she used to spell everything with a K. such as Konfusion. he did a story in spin magazine about the song. you can look it up. his wife now is named kelly.

  • it is a long song... but every time i listen to it, it ends before i want it to.

  • couldn't have said it better myself :')

  • i love me some konstantine.

  • SAW THIS PLAYED AT BAMBOOZLE IN CALI... flew all the way to cali from Minnesota to watch that concert.. and when he started playing Konstantine honest to say that i actually teared up in my eyes.. Best song EVER created

  • @courtneyxcollins You're obviously not a true SoCo/Jacks fan if you're spouting shit like that. Hammers and Strings is about Andrews piano not any fucking girl, it was the last song he wrote on his soco piano before he switched to Grands for Jack's. He doesn't play this song at Jack's shows because if he played it once, he would have to play it all the time. He already played it at the bamboozle show, he's said in interviews that he loves it, and it's a really important song to him.

  • I love how right after Andrew sings the line, "And I'm naked...", you just hear like an eruption of girls screaming. haha

  • just a great song!! cheers!!

  • this is the best time andrew ever performed this song.

  • When are they coming to Belgium?

  • Truly Amazing Song. Truly Amazing performance. I would love to know if it was written for somebody. I get the feeling they way he sings he is remembering at the same time. I think most people remember a certain person when listening to this song. Wonder if he is too

    Also listen to the crowd of girls. he is getting laid tonight

  • This performance ALWAYS brings out so many emotions in me. "When the first star you see may not be a star"

  • you make me dream...

  • he played it last night in Cali, didnt get the chance to see it but my buddy did and he said it was absolutely amazing

  • they ARE touring the east coast this summer!

  • This is so good....

  • wish he still played this

  • i would kill to see them play this in person. sucks they're not touring on the east coast this summer
