Saosin - Penelope (Acoustic)

[mackroh]

oooh man, my mind just floats away everytime the song gets to 0:35

[kgabik]

if you don't like the song, don't comment (if you do, it will be deleted). people who like it don't fucking care about your opinion.

[sexDRUGSrocknroll3]

cant beat pinbacks original version but they do a good job of covering it

[xAxMxAxNxDxA]

And I love how people say that the kids who like Saosin are emo. Last I checked, Pinback actually wrote the song, Saosin just covered it and blew it out of the fucking water.

[xAxMxAxNxDxA]

I like this version better than the original! Been listening to Saosin since I was a teenager. I'm 22 now and I actually just recently heard about Pinback. So they couldn't have been that good back when I was listening to Saosin or else I would have heard about them and the original song instead of the cover. :D

[JenniHatMineLieb]

Love, Love, Love, Love. <3

[ambientSoundscapes]

omg... they stole this from pinback, I've lost some respect for Saosin. if your gonna steal something, at least do it better than the orignial.

[Dirtyliltoaster]

@ambientSoundscapes It's a cover song, the poster just didn't put that in the description.

[ghost2694]

original is better

the one by pinback

[benmoser11]

this isn't acoustic. the edited sounds the same, and this doesn't sound acoustic. it sounds very close to acoustic but you can tell there's editing. still really good though

[EvulAtreyuGrl]

"It's depressing me to see you struggle." I never thought a song about a fish could actually depress me, lmao.

[xCelestius]

1:26 - 2:09 = best part I'm treading water with my oars Glass galleons anchored, oceans floor I'm diving down with all my gear In search of treasure, para mi corazon Take you to the forest Let you feel the raindrops falling down Seeping through your redscales Eliminate the faucet Eliminate the need for water Replace it with a safe shell

[LyricProductions1000]

The pic at 1:25 the guy with the hoodie on looks like Justin Bieber..

[hypnotiqfilth420666]

@LyricProductions1000 You belong in a garbage can. He does not look like Justin Bieber.

[muzakism]

from now on i will never go fishing again.. lol

[HaiCourtney]

my fish died today :/ should've sang this to him :O

[rileypaige1958]

@HaiCourtney hahaahhaha

[xxmortimerxx]

The song was originally written/sung by Pinback. And it IS about their pet goldfish.

Saosin version is just a cover (good nonetheless).

[kipzeiyf]

how touching

[tylerssoclutch]

@drumslyce yeah its definitely about a fish called penelope that died

[iSayFilmitFilms]

penelope is a fish <3

[fuzzytwilight045]

it really bothers me how 22,922 people have watched this video...but only 49 people rated this video....like you didn't have 5 seconds to rate the video?? but you had time to watch it....wth?!?!?!

[jordy2287]

@fuzzytwilight045 maybe the majority of people that saw this vid did so prior to the update with the thumbs up/ thumbs down. compared to how long youtube has been around, that action is relatively new

[xMonsterbationx]

ITS A FISH DAMMIT

[drumslyce]

dont you know Penelope?? the wife of Odysseus??? she yearning for his husband... at least thats my interpretation :))

[taybeatdown]

is this song about a fish?..i just read the lyrics and thats what i got from it lol

[x3pwnage3x]

@taybeatdown hahahaha now you got me thinkin xD

[iSayFilmitFilms]

@taybeatdown yea the song is orginally by pinback

[taybeatdown]

@iSayFilmitFilms oh i didnt even know it was a cover..im fixing to look up the original now.

[thomasbaron06]

i love this song! =D

[slakerkid]

Can't find this version anywhere. Must own it...

[fwcprodutions]

@slakerkid just go to media converter and put the link of this video in and then convert it to an mp3 and download it. Thats how i get all my saosin songs that are not sold

[vaglicker420]

i love this song , and it confuses me. :/

[royalavon]

def dropsy! this has been my all time fav song ever since this version came out in 2005. it also got me into pinback, which was a bonus! i'm getting "para mi corazon" tattooed on my inner wrist. this song has changed my life :)

[stepinnoutdanceco]

@royalavon oh yea buddy thats really cool i totally get where your comin from how you love a song so much it changes you life i never tell people that:) im also gettin lyrics tattooed in me from this song called river by natalie merchant!

[royalavon]

@stepinnoutdanceco 5 years later and it still my fav song...it must mean something!! which lyric are you getting?

[xXLITAXxD]

i Love this song...............(=

[bucketsaremyfriend]

not a big saosin fan but this cover is epic, i love acoustic stuff. this is better than the original. though, pinback is amazing. just saying. its just an opinion, dont hate.

[yazmeenascreamer]

love how this song is about a goldfish, yet still so sweet haha!

[krisXmaggot]

It's definitely Dropsy.

[friendsandalibis13]

its not dropsy its travesty

[Marksmanspec73]

I wish they would do more songs like this in their next album: catchy but sincere, unique not just from effects, and not just faintly eerie but honestly emotion-building.

[fattboy123456]

Pinback wrote this song about a girl..

and she drank a lot.

and she was a Pisces.

he just compared her to a goldfish.

it really does make sense.

[TrixxSpiritCatcher]

@fattboy123456 Wrong bud. Pinback wrote this song about Armistead Burwell Smith IV's (band member) fish who might have drank water but nothing else and for all I know she might have been a pisces. I LOVE the people who over think this song and of course most of this blasphemy is coming from non other than the saosin emo kids who love this song and relate to it because they suffer from alcoholism when they are in fact trying to relate to a fish who has dropsy.

[Yuki8442]

<3 amazing ..

[xvampiremariahx]

poor fishy :'(

i love this song its very deep

[foodstamp73]

Best Saosin cover...EVER

[nikki10111]

i love acoustic i think it sounds the best

[burtonbro417]

@nikki10111 saosin in general sounds great studio......live on the other hand i think otherwise. they blow

[benmoser11]

@burtonbro417 depends on the concerts that you go to. i found some really good videos of their concerts.

[benmoser11]

@nikki10111 it's not acoustic. i don't know if i already commented on this one but it's not acoustic. it's the same as the orignal

[xxTheduke]

great song love it

[CTMarie11]

Luv this song

[guitarist676]

[Shadowsangel92]

[metalridley388]
