  • Reading The Fault in Our Stars while listening to this makes both of them that much more beautiful.

  • Is it bad that I sort of want this song at my wedding?

    Or, you know, my funeral.

    Wow, that's depressing.

  • HOW OLD IS HE??

  • there should be a song wednesday playlist

  • Can anyone tell me the guitar chords for this song?

  • Out of all of his songs, this is by far my favorite.

  • So I just notice that at the end of the video, he is in a graveyard. Suitable.

  • One I will try to calculate how much time I spend with Nerdfighteria... it will be immense<3

  • there is no darker thought that sadens me as much as the fact that one day hank will sease to be

  • @plantlife1212 thumbs down for such a sad thought

  • @ashipod13 it genraly brings a tear to my eye though

  • when hank dies they need to play this at his funeral

  • Really poignant that the vide ended with Hank in a graveyard. Great song.

  • I hope that by the the end of my life I will have read for more time than a ratio of 5:4 against eating

  • Hank, if It makes you feel better, The average girl spends about 2 years putting on makeup.

  • Thats an awsome song.

  • *rapes replay button*

  • for a nerd hes really cute and im now an adult hell yeah

  • Who is this song about?

  • @sksnaperules no one in particular. He's talking about himself and sometimes to Kathrine (his wife) but I think the stats are from and average male, not for him spesifically

  • i think this song is amazing. DFTBA<3

  • Well! Well. This was really pretty.

  • songs like these make me wanna meet hank

  • My favorite part was the tags(and the song was really good too)

  • @jgfmer how are the tags funny?

  • @MySecretagentman

    Probably just cause it says fu

  • This made me Smile, thanks :)

  • by far my favorite song by hank

  • Hank, you're such an amazing song writer. It's not that I don't absolutely love you comedy and science stuff but I really wish you'd make more songs like this.

  • hank, seriously, 7 years watching television and only 5 years reading?

    you should be ashamed of yourself

  • @TheHannaFactor

    To be fair, television helped me learn to read.

  • this my favourite hank song. 

  • also I have the same headphones as hank. wearing them right now.

  • beautiful :)

  • I would love to be walking around and see a random guy singing to a camera... or even better, see HANK singing to a camera

  • Some things you forgot. How much time did you spend watching YT vids? or making them in your case? ;)

  • I never noticed before that you end in a graveyard. one of my favourite ever songs.

  • i love how you started at the playground and ended at the grave yard but it would have been cooler if you started at the hospital then ended at the graveyard

  • i cry when i hear this.........

  • This has always been my favorite song. it is one of those songs that you always go back to and it always gives you new perspective. this song has gotten me through some hard times.

    Hank- keep singing, and stay cool ;)

    Sincerely,

    Olivia,

    nerdfighter since (pretty damn near) the beginning,

    DFTBA

  • Didn't he submit this song for Masters of Song Fu?

  • what...in a good way...lol

  • This song makes me sad, the thought that we can just sum up entire lives with numbers, almost makes life seem a pointless waste of time.

  • @TommyTheNerdFighter The point of the song is that it all makes sense at the end. Its even in the title

  • @TommyTheNerdFighter Why so?Everything can,to a point,be resumed to numbers or similar mathematical concepts.It shouldn't take away it's(subjective) importance and beauty.

  • Just bought this off of iTunes. (:

  • This is Hanks best song.

  • Only Hank could make a love song where he talks about masturbating and still make it sound beautiful.

  • This is how I introduce many people to Hank and John and Nerdfighteria. I show them how awesome this song. I've had it burned onto a CD in my car since it came out. I love it.

  • I spent 4 years masturbating.

  • i had this awesome song stuck in my head but i forgot what it was called.I remembered "multiply and divide" so i thought who makes awesome nerdy songs.....hank. then google lead me back

  • This song is just beautiful...

    Thank god for auto replay...

  • Hi! New nerdfighter here. I've been watching a bunch of your songs and I think this is my favourite. :)

  • @LaughsAtGravity Welcome to the crew. :) It is a great song, isn't it?

  • @TheWarnerSister Thank you! And yes, it rather is.

  • One of my favorite Hank songs. Probably only second to Nerdfighteria Island.

  • Comment removed

  • CAN'T STOP LISTENING....

  • Way beautiful, Hank! How did I miss this one? Seriously amazing!

  • probably my favorite hank song

  • Do more songs!! you don't make songs anymore

  • im in love with this song

    

  • thats something you really want to hear about your brother (y)

  • 'I've never known any way but numbers and sums'

    Apart from percentages. Hank can't do percentages.

  • @stephanielblaney He's so used to things being 150% since him, John, and the rest of Nerdfighteria are made of 150% awesome. Putting things back to normal seem odd to him.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, guys, guess what? Hank probably took the average statistics for an American male. It's sorta TMI, but it's not his personal statistics.

  • @kikiann11 well it mentions being in love for bout 57 years and working for twenty five so we can assume it not his personal statistics

  • @DaftAnime yea-considering-the-average-pe­rson-sleeps-1/3-of-they-life-a­way-so-27yrsX3-so-it-puts-him-­at-81

  • @deathtouch1218 Yes, but this is Hank Green. He may have been using averages, but he sleeps a lot more than normal people!

  • @deathtouch1218 Well he said he was 80 in the song. "80 years alive and 4 eating food..."

  • @kikiann11 Yeah, he would have to be eighty. He is not eighty.

  • I counted 131.5 years he was alive with all of the things that he said... and he said he was alive for 80 years... LIAR!!!

  • @baroland451 Venn diagram rule. Don't forget that. Combine some of those years.

  • @baroland451 most people are able to multi- task

  • @baroland451 he could've done 2 things at the same time

  • Runs along the edge of TMI a few times, but that lets you know it's from the 'true' heart (rather than the hope one would want everyone to know one has)

  • @VlogBrothers

    ditto.

  • This needs more views

  • This song is sweet in such a strange way. Is it weird that it's one of my favorites? i think it's for Katherine. <3

  • This song makes me cry. For the Katherine?

  • I know I'm a bit late when it comes to watching vlogbrothers, I honestly wish I had discovered Hank and John sooner as I don't think I have met anyone as awesome as they are! This is one of my favourite songs, and I only just realised that it was made on my birthday!! Thanks for making the song Hank and I hope that, thanks to you, I will never ever forget to FTBA x

  • @catcrazy95 erm, you'll never forget to forget to be awesome??

  • I. CANT. STOP. PLAYING. THIS. AGH!!!

  • sounds like MAMD starkid anyone?

  • 104 people are constipated.

  • Who is this about? I mean, u obviously don't LOOK like u r 80 years old.

  • I actually really like this song X3

  • @LikeSoTotallyRandom and masturbating.

  • This is the most beautiful song to ever mention pooping

  • @yasemeocurrioaglo i did cry :') it was happy, but also sad tears

  • NOTICE: how he's singing about his life...

    and then at the TOTAL END of the song,

    He's at a graveyard.

    :D

  • I could seriously cry over how great this song is oh my god.

  • I think this is one of Hank's best songs. EVER.

  • I love this song. It's like a love song, to The Katherine. :)

  • I can't quite explain it, but every time I start singing along to this song I get a lump in my throat and I have to stop and just listen.

  • I can't tell what you're doing in this video. I'm thinking that you're riding a bicycle through a park, probably with a rhinoceros or something chasing you. That's probably why you're singing.

  • i spent 5 years watching this videp

  • @redmenace166

    You spent 5 years watching a video that was only made two years ago? O.O Wooow, epic time traveling.

  • makes you think about how you're living your life

  • "But i dont think i'll ever know how much time

    I did or didn't spend looking into your eyes"

    LOVE THIS HANK.

  • one of the most epic song ever

  • wow theres more likes then comments I think that kinda rare

  • @k5uphz Not anymore...

  • i don't get it....

  • I'm wearing those exact headphones... exactly like that... right now. Okay, not the EXACT ones but the same design and whatnot.

  • so much beauty in this song!

  • I have already arranged to have this played at my funeral.

  • My Mum walked in when he said masturbating.

  • @13CharlieeLouu13 I know, right? You're like, "but, it's a deep, meaningful song." I was watching a comedy routine at my grandmas house. The comedian told most of the joke then PAUSED and looked through the television! When he saw my grandma walk into the room he said, "with a PROSTITUTE!"

  • 103 poor people have never been in love.

  • this is my favourite hank song of them all. Second would be the angler fish song

  • it isnt even about giraffes and i love it.

  • I feel it may be wrong how much I love this song.

  • The cemetary is so fitting.

  • I seriously do not understand why this song isn't more famous. It's effing GORGEOUS.

  • Why, why, WHY doesn't this have the most views of any vlogbrothers video? Favorite Hank song. By far.

  • @Imagimontana No giraffe love in the thumbnail :)

    it really should be the most viewed though.

  • awesome song but he should have started the video outside a hospital or in a hospital for the symbolism and stuff.

  • ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS. Sorry about the accidental caps lock..

  • AMAZing.

  • This song is awesome. It definitely isn't your usual fare. It's much more.... how do I describe it? It's amazing.

  • God, I love this song. It's my favorite one from Hank. That last verse especially, but the entire thing is just beautiful.

  • w8, he spent 1/80 of his life copulating.

    thats a freaking 18 minutes EVERY DAY from the day you are born to the day you die D:

    way to go Hank :D

  • @gogi1000 and that's just to one woman in particular. for all we know he spent even more time with random women he picked up in bars and stuff.

  • Just to make sure everyone knows, humans are animals. So say that doing something degrades you to an animal makes no sense,

  • this make me fall asleep - in a very awesome way.

    dftba

  • I love how it ends in a graveyard.

  • 101 people won't find sense at the end.

  • LOVE

  • dunno why, but this reminds me of 'Under The Bridge' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

  • (number of dislikes)+(derogatory categorization relating to the video above)

  • I heart hank making music.

  • do me a favour hank... never stop singing.

  • I would like to know firstly where the numbers came from? Secondly what inspired such a lovely song?

  • Comment removed

  • It's BEAUTIFUL Hank... beautiful. 

  • Somehow this song has just made me smile :) I've been pretty down recently, but your gorgeous song has just made me smile. Thank you :)

  • I wonder how Hank feels about this beautiful song being used as a medium for a masturbation debate.

  • @aolf1 seriously. i hate all those people who spam this video with their preaching about how you should or shouldnt masturbate.

  • this needs to be on itunes.

  • @hotshot3434 You're lucky, it is :D

  • @jellybeangravy OMG IT IS?

    (looks up)

    YEAH!!!!

    (downloads entire Hank Green Album)

    (listens to it all day)

    ty for telling me!

  • @hotshot3434 Haha no worries, you're welcome. I love helping out other nerdfighters :D

  • @jellybeangravy DFTBA!

  • Hi, Hank. One of my biggest fears is dying before I'm ready, before it all makes sense at the end, but I always keep this song in mind. I hope I feel like this at the end. I hope I look back at my life, realize I've spent 27 years in my bed, and that there isn't much I would've preferred to do instead.

    No regrets.

  • @saphyreXice No it isn't, only people without self control screw themselves. It's pitiful, really.

  • i think it's worth you professionally recording this and getting it out there! and make a proper music video :)

  • I would love to see a video of this song being sung by an actual 80 year old

  • @najahe123 or kinda like flirting. It depends on wat he ment

  • Whenever I listen to this song, my mum will ALWAYS walk in at the 'masturbating' line 

  • @alabalacr2 I understand that it is reasonable for a person to be alive for eighty years. I was asking how this was remotely reasonable for Hank, particularly. He doesn't look EIGHTY. XD

  • whats wooing?

  • @alabalacr2

    AFAIK wooing is shouting "woo" to express enthousiasm.

    Its related to cheering, I think.

    English is not my native language, so don't be mad if I'm wrong.

  • @alabalacr2 Wooing is all the little things you do for someone you like to convince them its worth liking you back.

  • Did he sing he wanted to kill his boss?

  • @najahe123 yes

  • @najahe123 you probably havent had a job before. you'll find out when you get one. :)

  • I listen to this song everyday. I love it!

  • This is my favorite of Hank's songs. It's unlike any of his other songs and I love the emotion behind it. It's an absolutely beautiful song.

  • How did you spend 80 years alive?O_O

  • @lemondrop5578 my grandba is 82,i dont understand your question

  • Someone please tell me why Hank is not as famous (or more) as most mainstream artists??

  • so we're talking about masturbation? Is that what people took out of this video???

  • Everyone shut up and just listen to the song

  • @hotshot3434 agreed

  • how old are you??? Because I was almost certian you were in your thirties.....

  • @pobhopbobinashed

    He is 31, but he speaking from "the average person" point of view

  • @ purelee: then how does fecal waste leave your body!? Are you insane did you ever got to school?! I'm 13 and even I know that you have to poo. And I'm pretty sure you do too, so shut your yap and if you can't do that cuz it's referring to something sexual, then start making some sense!

  • @TheAnimeKitteh

    Hook, line and sinker. Boy, you bit hard on that.

  • @TheAnimeKitteh you might want to look up, because something just went way over your head

  • @TheAnimeKitteh They wern't being serious, you know that right? If you read what the crazy religious person said about masturbation you would get the joke. Purlee's comment was entirely based off that.

  • This is my favorite song that you wrote.

  • Hank and John have this strange gift which is that they can be hilarious and meaningful, sometimes at the same time.

    Hank with his songs and John with his books.

  • Amazing song.
