  • Not sure if anyone notices this but, Washington State has been exploding with music and talent since like 2007, especially out of Seattle. I'm a Washitonian and proud!

  • @xLnHxBlo0dLusT Not sure if you noticed but great talent has been coming out of Washington for many years now. It didn't just begin in 2007. The 90s have brought a lot of great bands out of Washington.

  • @squishymadness I only know of few, sorry, I was born in Washington but I haven't lived here since 1997 lol, It's all new and it looks like the state is doing good in entertainment.

  • I sure do hope Washington get's noticed for it's amazing talent it brings, just like John. :)

  • @keyann86 what are you talkin about that was sick

  • @2:43.... butchered

  • he is so incredibly handsome. if i could marry one man and have him sing to me everyday, it would without a doubt be John Van Deusen.

  • This is impossible to just listen to once.

  • @BOOMPOWbethany Ditto

    

  • I just found this band today and...Ah! I love it!

  • @BOOMPOWbethany they just released a new video for this song on MTV. I've done sound for these guys at some shows in Anacortes, and this song has always been one of my favorites. I have shot a few live videos with the flip-cam, the audio from the cam doesn't always capture the sound well, but they live performance shows through.

  • @BOOMPOWbethany - this song is now on MTV. Check out some of my live videos of the band. They are opening for Death Cab for Cutie on a short tour of the Nation; Unfortunately it's all sold-out except for Minneapolis I think. But check out their tour schedule, spread the word, and get their new CD!

  • Fuckin Dope,.

  • Anyone have a tab for this?

  • @CheckenBake its about 5 chords with a capo on the 5th fret thats about it

  • @EJI253 and it fuckin rocks!

    

  • Amazing song. The lyrics, the music, everything. definitely deserves to be on iTunes. they have an EP up on iTunes but unfortunately this song is not on it :/

  • @macaronilord they have just realeased a new music video for this on MTV. Also, check out my live video of this song from a March 5th show in Anacortes. :)

  • itunes please?

  • best song , i dig your message dude . though you wont check this

    ,. FTW is right , hes gagging because of the sickness our world is under ,. we live in a fucking plague . lets just hope this new breathe is that of pure lgith.and beauty

  • I'm in love with his lyrics...This melts me : )

  • anyone else catch the gag at 0:26?

    His voice is so great, it's sickening to him!

  • dude, you seriously need to release this recording as an mp3. i'm tired of having to play the video to listen to this!

  • hahahahahahahaha!!! 2:44

  • I'm in love with this song, and his voice is amazing ! <3

  • I have the shirt for this song. :) <3 Mmmm.

  • Great songwriting and guitar/vocal performance. I also like these solo versions better than with the band.

  • 0:26 :D but i lalalalaalooooooooove this song :)

  • 2:43 is the best part.

  • @MrMunkwarrz1 hell yeah

  • @MrMunkwarrz1 You read my mind. I have been looking for an acoustic set where he keeps the scream. I knew John could pull it off.

  • TABS TABS TABS??

  • first saw the band at the jorge town music festival, been in love since. got a pic with the band (or it was the organ donors) when i was like 7.

  • @FionaDaAwesomest oops, i mean it might have been the band "the organ donor". sorry.

  • i think i love you.

  • Great Lyrics.

  • The Lonely Forest is amazing, love seeing you guys and every performance I have seen is great. John stick together, the journey is better with friends!

  • wow, i freaking love this version of the song.

  • 4 people are sadly mistaken...

  • 2:43 .... holy mother of fu---------- 8 |

  • :-o That was beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • did you know the elephant is the largest land mammal? now you do. bitch.

  • @skinnyjeansx235 Whales, idiot.

  • @ohboyjeffy7 They said land mammal. I am no marine biologist, but I am pretty sure that whales live in the ocean...not a land mammal.

  • @macaronilord 'twas a lul

  • @skinnyjeansx235 Did you know they can't jump? Now you do. Male dog.

  • Comment removed

  • @CaptainOmarful I love you<3

  • @kangaimRoo who r u...?

  • @CaptainOmarful I are guy who are guy who are gunna show u luvz!!!

  • @skinnyjeansx235 I've seen a whale walk on land so screw you.

    Btw, it's true. Really.

  • @skinnyjeansx235 how about you comment on the song idiot

  • You can find this song on iTunes for Free. So you dont need to copy it from Youtube ;D. Btw The song is awesome!

  • @EntyceStar

    I can't find the music on itunes... are you sure that's available?

  • 0:27 lol

  • such a heartwarming tune

  • solid. just solid.

  • His voice is a mixture between fergie and Jesus!

  • @Jesrockr what?

  • @darwinbc Stepbrothers...

  • Super cool. They're following me on twitter.. but I hate the music.

  • i want to play this, where can i find the tabs for the finger picking in the beginning of the song?

  • heres the non live version of the song youtube .com / wa tch?v=pU_j0c6qW04 (no spaces)

  • this is way better than the actual version

  • I like the first verse and all but in the second verse it sounds like a poem by an emotionally disturbed child. Good song and all but it just sounds like he's a draftdodger who has no idea what he's talking about.

  • Comment removed

  • @damoniss settle, everyone is aloud to express there feelings...dont take that away from anyone.

  • ever body should save the enviorment so we can live

  • if jesus was still alive (ps im not a christian ) this is what he would sound like, spreading a true message.

  • @Scottydoo69 I'm pretty damn sure His message and johns are one and the same...new breath, new life, love....just saying. Not like Jesus didn't hit this up a long time ago. I could be wrong.

  • John is a GREAT guy i actually had the chance to run monitors for him at the Skagit County Fair (not picky at ALL) The power on stage is 5 time greater than off :) it has become my favorite live experience and i'm fairly certain it will stay so! I'm SUPER excited for they're album coming out soon cause it's with Walla of DEATH CAB! they're gonna make it big and they DESERVE it and Brayden is the sickest drummer EVER!...that's all haha

  • This band reminds me of Dying Fetus!

  • @IronBlindfold how does it remind you of dying fetus?
