My Morning Jacket - Librarian Live 2008

[seaperu1]

l waana see what the female librarian looks like!

[2941justin]

"When God gave us mirrors, he had no idea."

Awesome.

[xTaeddyLove]

American Dad :DD !

[Audiofreund2]

american dad brought me here :)

[Georg5555]

@Audiofreund2 yes the makers from american das are big fans of them

[ickaru]

This song is sexist, juvenile and insulting. Who ever wrote this has obviously never set foot in a library. It's not a librarian's job to look sexy. Being a librarian is sexy enough. This song is just based off an ignorant stereotype.

Not to mention it's also really dull and repetitive. It's lyrics are insipid and it's just difficult to listen to.

[DaJoshXT]

@ickaru I bet your one of those pretentious dipshits who dislike EVERY FUCKING VIDEO ON YOUTUBE! Seriously though...fuck off.

[blaine22gp]

@ickaru Did you listen to the song? It tells a story of how he wants to be with the Librarian. Its a compliment to her. On top ot not understanding the song. You are a fuck face that does not know anything about music or talent.

[122457]

@ickaru Who ever wrote this comment obviously has a mind so narrow you can slip it under a door. The song is sexist, juvenile and insulting? Not in this universe. It's just a touching, simple tale of a man's attraction to a woman.

But this post doesn't surprise me. YouTube is littered with comments written by people who will use any opportunity to push their agendas.

[steveshort4steven]

This is my camping/hiking song

[xTaeddyLove]

I know that song from American Dad. But it is not the same somehow.

I loved the song from American Dad but I do not think ...

pity

:(

[lionsbeardmane]

@xTaeddyLove dont remember this on the American Dad! episode

[AnonymousUbiquity]

Seventy five thousand views. Two dislikes.

Yep. Sounds about right.

[DerGeckoTV]

Whats wrong with the 2 guys who dislike this song?

I can´t understand... :/

[MegaSeth01]

Amazing!

[ck675]

So so so so so so ready to see them at ACL.

[westernkypika]

I dont see how there could be anyone who put a thumbs down to this video. Love me some MMJ.

[piercecentral]

Very underated band. This is a great song in a great venue.



[billabongboy]

this song reminds me of moody blues a lot

[TheGtender]

its kind of scary how good he is.... well i guess how good they are but ya know what i mean.... unreal !

[supersandwitch14]

incredible... I do see the resemblence to neil young, also....

[seth2186]

Bermuday highway by far the best song he made

[pushthepiggies]

@seth2186 Impossible, sir. Dondante is by far the best song EVER, much less just written by Jim James. Bermuda Highway is definitely in my top 5 favorite MMJ songs though.

[CrazyShip42]

One Word. WOW

[funnyguy294]

@CrazyShip42 Hey!..thats tree letters...ohh whait..nvm ik..wowz

[steveshort4steven]

shit i need to see these guys live

[indifferentdrummer2]

Gorgeous.

If you love this, try "Love and Affection" by Joan Armatrading.

Both joys forever.

[tommyrock69]

Jim James is all that is Louisville- familiar, established, yet so undefinable. 

[ZeDollyDots]

so beautiful i could cry.

and this while my local librarian is ugly as hekk

[specialeeffexx]

My fav lines of this song! Pure genius!

"What is it inside our heads

That makes us do the opposite,

Makes us do the opposite

Of what’s right for us.

‘Cause everything be great,

And everything'd be good,

If everybody gave,

Like everybody could."

[mswenson21]

@specialeeffexx agreed :) 

[dj30harw]

Jim James is his own genre.

[rockstarofredondo]

All amazing music is underrated.

[moreofisscience]

Really though, they used to be more or less a straight country band, but their sound has absolutely evolved. When you're writing country albums then playing prince covers live, you're a sufficiently eclectic band.

[felixagnes87]

:{)

[freshiebee5]

Im completely obsessed with this amazing song

[proj3ctwar]

whats his Genre?

[RedRoosterbabam]

@proj3ctwar My Morning Jacket? Rock, Indie-rock more specifically.

[dudemanthetodd]

@proj3ctwar

who cares about genres - there is no such thing as genre

[M3lloW55]

@dudemanthetodd no such thing as genre... i dig it lol

[mathewsbows69]

they have such a rich "70's" kind of sound. terrific unique band for sure!!

[jamesrayment]

simply amazing...

[j3nz3r]

this dude has the best singing voice i've ever heared, so damn relaxing

[FfmUniversal]

i discovered this band thanks to american dad

they are awesome *THUMBS UP!

[JMRCProductions]

@FfmUniversal same here! I didn't think it was a real band until I actually saw the ending of the episode. Love this music

[runningonempty50]

ARGhhhh. Librarians don't put pencils in their hair, etc. and many of us are male....

[Melllvaaaaarg]

@runningonempty50 so? this song is about a female librarian that DOES put a pencil in her hair, so STFU and enjoy :)

[eman646]

Saw these guy's in Cary N.C. ,AWESOME!!!!!!

[bitterapplemark]

In my all time Top Ten. I thought the album version couldn't be bettered, but this is just beautiful, so beautiful it extracts tears from my eyes ...

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Whew! Fucking brilliant! Gorgeous song!

[guitarjerry1126]

You know I never listened to" Morning Jacket" before but a friend just sent me this video and I'm liking this song a lot.

Beautiful! Nice post!

Thank you Roses! xo

[onewink]

I've listened to this song before, but never REALLY listened to the lyrics. I'm so glad I did.

Thanks Christine for sending me here : )

[superboredteenager]

[EliteBeave]

[Melllvaaaaarg]

@superboredteenager someones been watching american dad ;)

[rosesredvioletsblue]

So beautiful. Thanks to my

friend for sharing this with me.

[YThemertY]

Stunning performace!!!

[losglez]

One of my favorite MMJ songs! Thank you very much for posting!

[brewskhee]

I know this is a late post, but....

When MMJ first started coming around (particularly in Kentucky) he was interviewed by a local radio station and Jim James said that he did base a lot of his sound from Neil Young. He said that before the band was started, he and a couple of members watched the sun rise while listening to Neil Young's Harvest Moon, and it inspired them to pick their sound and start a band.

Pretty awesome you hear it too :)

[isoquant1988]

love my morning jacket! so much!

[forgotenviro]

poetic perfection

[deepjew]

simple and good :)

[decapitatedxflowers]

i just love the pure poetry of this song.

it's fucking brilliant.

[4clearskies]

Oh man. the lyrics, the entire song, such a gem.

[james06241974]

You try singing Old Man or Harvest. Sheesh.

[sigmondtheseamonster]

I listen to this everyday...Yes Neil Young !!

[theSOUNDinterpreter]

underrated.

[DrMantecol]

@theSOUNDinterpreter shut the fuck up

[theSOUNDinterpreter]

@DrMantecol lmao?

[ngbcuriel]

what's the venue?

[wittchar198923]

can't get enough

[bitzky77]

Excellence! Loving this song.

MMJ is a band that also sounds great in the studio. Many don't. Love the orchestral parts in the studio version too.

[JackRusselTerrorist]

There are very few good live recordings of MMJ

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[Totalmachine09]

I really overplay this song on my phone but i cant get enough of it.

[ruulw]

nice little lovesong, beautifully recorded in Paradiso

[ButchPetty]

What a beautiful song. :)

[maynewal]

It's pure love! :) <3

[jabob4444]

just proves that folk, rock, and blues, are all still alive and well inside MMJ. Jim James and the gang are geniuses, and Jim kinda reminds me of a new David Crosby in a way

[rosesredvioletsblue]

merci

[dd31406]

the album version is way better i think...

[rpm23]

This song is amazing! So personal, it really gets to me. Hands down the best track of 2008.

[KYBluesKY]

I'm amazed by this masterpiece. I feel like Jim James & MMJ channeled me.

[wholewheatbagel]

haha i feel the same

[mollybraetten]

this is a sexy lil song;]

[sarahhamrick]

fucking OMG beautiful

[mariaedge]

OMG beautiful
