Ben Folds "Gone" music video

[kk5239]

この曲好きだな～　PVが安っぽくて笑えるけどｗ彼女が死んじゃって（交通事故だっ­たんだね）ギークでナードな男の子は一人でずっと女の子のこと思­ってて・・・ギークでナードな僕は泣いてしまった。　彼女が暗闇からでてくるとこはB級ホラーだけどね(笑）fuck­ingreatsong!!!!



[DaylightRobberyCA]

Forgot the bass, homeboy!

[checkthisjunkout]

Not a bad song, but I like the Street Corner Symphony version from The Sing-Off better.

[ianwwd]

23 people are gone

[cmb8280]

Nicely done, but it doesn't make sense. The song is about a girl breaking up with him. "I know that you went right to someone else, "I really think that you should spend some time alone," etc. It's about a break up and her using other people to get over it while he did it on his own. So, while I enjoyed the video itself, I didn't think it made a whole lot of sense with this song = /

[someonenoticeimdead]

@cmb8280 Yeah he should have done a shot by shot of the lyrics because that isn't boring or overplayed at all...

[thomflint]

@cmb8280 I think you're taking the lyrics a bit too literally. 'I know that you went straight to someone else' could mean God? (Or whoever you think exists in the afterlife). And now she's dead she could well be spending a lot of time alone! (Again, if that's what you believe...). A literal portrayal of lyrics is where I think a lot of music videos go wrong?

[SuPaSaM5198]

I think I cried! Amazing!

[bluecat91me]

Does anyone have this song on mp3? Send me a message!!

[sarahllujah]

Very clever and well done :) Kudos!

[claremaak]

well done :)

[Malisteen]

Nice fan video. I like that you completed the thought of the video with a take on what actually happened. You used what effects you had correctly and I like what you did with it. It had a "feel" of being a music video with a story.

[SuperHELLO1980]

dude this is great

[Ben2DJammin]

good job sir...great concept. a little sadder tone than i expected. gotta work on the drums a bit. but overall good job sir. check out my Not The Same video. lemme know what you think.

[SenorSlopez]

I... REALLY like this. At first I thought it was just gonna be a general music video that summed up the theme of the song by flashing the home videos of the girl who is gone, etc etc. But you REALLY added a new layer to the song by including the death of the girl. With that simple invented plot element, this went from being a pretty cool fan video to a really well-thought-out, awesome fan video. The pan up to the tombstone at the end was hauntingly beautiful. Well done.

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Aww!! She died! :(

[MitchGambino]

This is surprisingly well-made. Although your filmmaking skill is better than your drumming skill.

Nice one, man.

[spacecommander12]

yeah this really isn't great and thats politeness there

[Claudeee1]

Well done

[guidofix]

Gone gone gone gone gone (8)

[jasinski7]

see ben folds five could have performed this better

[oktotx]

ben folds played all the insruments himself

[muriaal]

Niiceeeee vid!

[pb0o6]

julia niles has more views. thats kinda funny.

[beeisawesome]

its julia nunes idiot.

[pb0o6]

you right

[beeisawesome]

i know, thank you for gettin it right

[finallyanunusedname2]

What song was "Gone" inspired by?

[DrCuffalump]

@finallyanunusedname2 his son?

[Kipeur]

this is really nicely done :D i'd love to see a full-quality version rather than youtube pixely business :S but yeah, great job

[phayes2010]

awesome song

[dubooya]

dude love the part when you wreck the room. lulz

[cbleyhl]

sad! omg sad!

[arsenal1486]

ahhahahahah ahilarious!!!!!

[Prophecy23JC]

Awesome video. Good job.

[OmgItsAKittywoww]

this is really good (: i love the part where he's trashed the living room, a really good way of filming (: xx

[MaxsBemisBabe]

its really good. but u should work on ur lip syncing alittle bit. ur stressing the words to much. U can totally tell ur not really singing. other then that, the video is great

[sputnikowns]

it's kind of a random video. O_o

[tehfrog]

i am in love

[qwertydeluxe]

Did you find a random grave for the end??

[drumdude392]

Hey man, Great video! Very original! My only problem, you're clearly not a drummer. : (

[Jdiggity101]

or any other type of musician for that matter.

Good job with editing and everythin, but way more energy is needed in the playing of the instruments.

[nathanieI]

I love 0:32 in were the frikin song starts. lol

[carlyhennessey]

lol, just about to say that.

[allyam12]

i love 1:26

[allyam12]

i love the 1:26 !

[deckthree]

just a fantastic video for a great song, love it

[pierregerard93]

I liked 2:44 - 2:57 . This song's great.

[3jde3]

this is an amazing song, i love it. the other songs in this album are really good too. i love ben folds

[nathanieI]

jesus I had a dream I met ben on that stage. I'd never seen this b4. strange. spooky,

[0161sweetlikehoney]

vwey nice :)

[lophster]

That may be one of the best self made music videos I have ever watched. Nice work dude.

[lauraoldro]

reminds me of "If U C Jordan" by Something Corporate.

Good job, haha.

[doctormark2006]

ya know you really did the self cloning just like ben folds does in a few of his vids. good job

[RyanFtheGREAT]

um its not about dealing with death

[StudPiProductions]

Uh, so?

[shad0h027]

Cool WTG

[robbsclassics]

I like this video, but the drum playing is bothering me. Smash those things and move around!

[mindframe]

wow very impressive lol looks like u guys had a lot of fun making it =D good choice of song btw

[girlygrl389]

i love this song (:

[smalltalkingchicken]

i just want to say that you're very, very lucky to have two twin brothers (aren't triplets the most rare birth outside of multiples by mothers taking hormone therapy?) who are so talented! when did you decide who would do keys, who drums, etc? at a young age, or do you all play everything?

very cool, guys!

but were you all dating the same girl? i'm not sure how i feel about that because the internet has not got any results in google when i ask...

[Jackiesmacks]

...

He used a program to clone himself.

You film doing all of the things, one at a time.

They theres a way to feed them together.

[rauhfrost]

Look at the chickens name ^^ i dont think that the user got it wrong :D But youre both cool ;) Chicken cause youre writing such funny stuff and jackie explaining obvious things :D Guys you both make me laugh :D :D :D

[BacklightProductions]

@smalltalkingchicken it's been a year sinc eoyu posted, but i still have to say this: IT'S ISN'T A COVER IT'S A VIDEO WHERE THEY LIP SYNCH. their talent is being able to reenact and lip synch. no sing or play instruments. at least not in this vid.

[mamamamary1234]

@smalltalkingchicken it's clearly the same guy hahah

[asiandrumr]

@smalltalkingchicken At one point, he had eight twin brothers! AMAZING! I didn't think that was possible.

[vivalahamburglar]

@smalltalkingchicken They aren't actually playing the instruments or singing...

[fairyreadgirl]

great job guys!

[Sis1447]

Awesome video man! I'm a little hurt that you left out a bass player but it was still amazing!

[marialuvsblue]

i love this song and its hard to find. very unique.

[mikaylala26]

beginning without music sucked

but everything else is amazzzing

[yankslibra10]

This was so sick!

[ohhtessuh]

this video is REALLY good! :)

[jasonfiz01]

You did an amazing job with this video... it's awesome!

[rhodesdarcy]

great job, surpassed expectations!

[RyanFtheGREAT]

hm interesting take on it. I always viewed this song as being about Ben breaking up with a girl

[Demon640]

i came in with low expectations but that actualkly wowed me. Nice job brother.

[skittilemnky]

Awesome video! A lot better than most of the videos people make on here

[ShokaAttenborough]

I've not had chance to watch the video yet, but I've gotta ask this, what make is that piano at the beginning of the video? It looks just like a Metzler I've got, but I can't see the manufacturer.

[CRSA20]

Although you probably won't read this I thought you might want to know. I really hate home-made covers of music videos. I really do not want to say this but it was a very nice video.

[masterfulmike]

Every single Ben Folds - Gone video Ive seen, has been really good, I cant decide which one is best, but this one is definatley good, compliments the song very well, good job, :)

[PretendValentine]

super cool, dude! Has Ben seen this? He should.

[animalsrocklol]

This is Brilliant!

[neverfadetogray]

awesome. =] great work.

[ozoneavenger]

I absolutely love your interpretation of this song! Very nicely done! I am trying to get some ideas for a Ben Folds vid that I plan on making sometime soon. You have inspired me greatly.

[tigregirl18]

this was very well made :) thanks

[LIGHTonNEGATIVES]

you're amazing! <3

[BlueSun16]

i just got she was dead like the last second of the film

[cookieguitar]

This song still gets me to thinking - I know the words don't all apply - I love Ben folds - I still miss you Karen who ever you were - You can't truly say goodbye to teh person you know you belong with.

Karen O'donnell Shaneberger - hope Michigan is a good fit for you

[cookieguitar]

Karen - I just watched fatal attraction again - I hope you don't see me liken that

[yowassupbro2]

just remembered how much I like this album

[veluvacruzer]

very cool work dude...keep it up!

[GuitarScream94]

excellent work! really inspirational film clip... totally fit the feel of the album & style ben folds was using at the time. Great twist at the end too. 5/5... p.s. julia nunes rules!!!

[samissar]

[Drugmedog]

[TimeToPretend]

[haveweallgotthebends]

I wish that I could give you more than just five stars.

[kilorooster]

When I clicked the link and realized this wasnt the actual video, I thought it was going to suck. I gave it a chance and was really impressed. Nicely done!

[bolap4]

nice job jonny

[phaseless]

good job man. it's the same style as rockin' the suburbs. this is a great tribute.

[moshiii]

this is really nice. I enjoyed watching it.

[francois71]

I'm impressed. i specially like the ending

[frederine]

I already loved the song and I loved the video. Is it available in full quality format somewhere ?

[kjhkcapn]

Very well done. I'm really impressed. Generally homemade videos bug me.

[theamazingspinboy]

fucking great, you did it justice, fair play to ya

[Johnnymoo]

I love the part you did for "worked through all this shit here by myself". This is one of my favourite songs.

[Dragonrocks]

Yea that was the best

[PossibleOutcome]

nice editing! you did a good job with the mixing of playing the instruments and telling a story. the footage was a little dark during the middle, but other than that this was well made.

[fplusforamy]

Really great!

[Rockerpope101]

DAM YOU JONNY look at all these nice people saying nice things! i'll get you next time ;-)

[forgiveninasong]

This video is so good! Honestly!!

I adore this song so much.

I really love this! xxx

[Stevensmith2006]

I am a very big Ben Folds fan so I am always skeptical of these "home made videos" of Ben Folds. But I think this is one that Ben Folds would be proud of. Nice work.

[Sonic3dx]

very nice video :D

[keytuned]

It's nice...I like it. You need more people to see this.

[starrkid]

This is awesome. Well done!

[charmtrap]

very well done...

[ldb1985]

[wideeyedtroubadour]

Absolutely stunning. Well done Jonny - that was fantastic.

[giarcwoltac]

Well done Jonny this is a brilliant video of a brilliant song. All I can say is that you must have brilliant teachers!

[sonetlumiere12345678]

Very Impressive, great song. You must have put a lot of thought in to this- Pete

[num1fandmb]

Very nice. I applaud you. Ben Folds is the Shit!
