Flavors (Acoustic) - Jack Conte

[herodot47]

i like this sound so much . !

radiohead meets incubus meets jacks genius

[steeeeeeeeeeeel]

lyrics please

[scotter140]

i like this version better

[brandonwrightmusic]

go on tour already

[BlackTurtwig]

This is beautiful.

[parazetamon911]

I like your stile so much can we be friend :)

[SuperMegaPeanut]

MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR THE PIANO!!!

[simiamens]

Jack Conte, man. Way better musicality - actually, even better instrumentation, too - than Muse, despite similar vocal feel. Still more Muse than Thom Yorke, musicality-wise, but it's in that wonderful little post-Muse pre-radiohead sweet-spot with Regina Spektor and Joanna Newsom. sweet.

[UtBDan]

what are the chords on this? you're awesome man.

[mhstofman]

Thom Yorke NEEDS to hear this. and then collab

[EvilKris]

man, i wish you'd let me use your music for my games...could be some nice exposure for you?

[danakerman]

Love the keyboard part -- sounds like Debussy or Saint-Saens. Wonderful paired with your vocal line.

[VLTV]

it's like it began snowing inside my house. just like on those little crystal balls: when you shake it, it begins snowing. then you know Jack Conte started playing piano and singing this smoothly

[danmusicovers]

i want a tutorial for this... i know you don't make tutorials.. but someone please... i was trying to play this by ear but its kind hard

[MrChameleon95]

@danmusicovers he actually DOES tutorials on his second channel called "jackconteextras". And I also think a tutorial for this song was announced but I'm still waiting, too :/

[Water93Phoenix]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDD

[jacob97701]

320 likes! ... 6 dislikes. jack you have the majority [: and dont worry the other six slipped and got the wrong button. silly kids.. haha

[AuroraSunset]

amazing, makes me want to spill m and m's all over the ground and clean them up with a spoon naked with only socks on a tuesday.

[tophlovr]

Sounds like 8 - bit legends zelda music lol

[OhAnnaVapours]

Oh my God, this is AMAZING! I first discovered you along with Nat in Pomplamoose. Please don't give up Pomplamoose, because you guys are fabulous together, but you're amazing on your own as well. I'm trying to come up with some sort of advice to give you, but I don't think it's necessary since you and Natalie obviously know exactly what you're doing and no matter what musical decisions you make, you know best. I'm just a humble fan :)

[irishmangoeswild]

sounds very musey, but that's amazing

[matanoga]

Sigh.

When I saw this - "Acoustic", I thought to myself

"Argh. this is gonna be shitty and this is how he's goin to ruin this song!"

Guess who turned out to be the fool in the end... :|

[Skullheadnopants]

One of the closest things to a religious experience that I have ever had.

[justanower47]

if u watch the video on my channel you might likeeeeee haha its rocky! like your stuff..lol i love your videossss

reminds me of the movie Caroline

[africanemo85]

love the dissonance, even vocally.

This was incredible.

[westgarth2005]

you have amazing ears, you hear things so well, and then bring out the best in them.

[pepenores2]

cheater! i can hear guitar and some minor over dubbing stuff in the back

[ImStereotype]

Holy mother of cat petting, dog loving, people avoiding greatness! That was the epitome of beautiful noise. I love the original, but for me an acoustic version seems so much more from the soul. That was great and thank you.

[Cadence55]

gosh i really like your playing

[perfectupper90]

Absolutely beautiful. And I agree with ReggieRawls. More acoustic, or just wurlitzer songs would be awesome.

[schmargle]

Great stuff, dude. Really excellent musicianship. Keep it coming.

[sSereth]

it's like a one-man muse/radiohead. which is un freaking believable.

[ReggieRawls]

a whole acoustic ep or album would kill.

[Audiob0x]

5*s I think ive officially played ever one of your vids, lol more then once!

[ommy44]

your intonation is disturbingly perfect.

[emalaran]

bittersweet haunting brilliance

[TheQuidProQuo]

This is still my favorite.

[ekacangel]

love the piece... can you give me a piano sheet of your song...

[LordddVincent]

You are amazingly talented, you should be known. I haven't heard anything vocally akin to this since Dream Theater. May whatever deity you pray to bless your career.

[bassetts1899]

dream theater hasn't got shit on jack. radiohead dude! radiohead!

[SeveredHeadsUnite]

So so so so agreed:D

[BagheeraRomeo]

he sings like Brandon Boyd of Incubus (with a bit of Connor Oberst of Bright Eyes)

[TheDoubtingThomas]

and a bit of thom yorke from radiohead. :P

[emmay00]

You are so amazing.

[tuckerWORLD]

triplet at 1:47 is great

[faireset]

thank you so much for this accoustic version

I love this song !!

[camraman206]

The chord changes in this song are unreal.

[OverrunD]

I'm enthralled with this song,

I don't know why but in this video his face reminds me of freddy mercury... The teeth mostly.

[Nannigan]

You have amazing control on your voice.

Really Incredible.

[lykeohmahgah]

thank you for this :)

[Schulz372]

you are awesome.

[ganglydude42]

So, I've seen your theremin peeking out in the background of your new videos just waiting to be played!! I can't wait to see it in action.

[Pixelbuddy]

I know its a modern song and people will hate me for saying this, but Jack should do a cover of MGMT's (boos from audience) song "Kids" with the theremin.

[gobeco]

Yeah....no effects.

Pure and direct!!!

[ddudioo]

I love this son Jack, and the harmonies really stand out in the acoustic version.

Keep up the good work man !

[phasA100]

amazing

[alissadanielle]

so inspiring.

keep up the good work

xx

[DrFeelgood38]

This is fantastic! Spreading it around in 3... 2... 1... Go!

[doobiesnax]

this is brilliant.

the piano sounds remind me of Zelda

[jaybird1905]

Yet another ridiculously amazing piece of music. Brilliant Jack!!!!!

[BleedingxBliss]

It's incredible that you've given me chills. Even MORE amazing second time 'round!

Your voice is epic.. I find myself closing my eyes and walking into a dream you've created with this song.

Charming, brilliant, incredible!

[CoreyRobertson2]

I would love it if I had a voice as good as Jack's.

[olicc]

Musical genius, seriously. You are amazing both by yourself and with Natalie. I hope Pomplamoose gets signed to a lucreative deal so you two can get the recognition you deserve and can travel around sharing your telent with everyone instead of just us on the West Coast.

[OMFGITSVIKKI]

I agree 100%.

I would love for them to be successfull in everything they do.

And I would love it even more if they would come tour in NJ.

Us east coastians enjoy you just as much as the west coast kids.

[meagansxfamous]

i love film, and you make the BEST songs to set different moods. you really have no idea how much of an inspiration you've been to me.

[marshmellowgazelle]

yeah i always thought you sounded like a radiohead-muse hybrid. aka absolute genius.

[ConditionallyUsed]

Amazing how nicely this translates into an acoustic/solo piece without the overlays since it sounds great!

on a side note:

Please bring back the jack/pomplemouse usb dongle deal..

[ryanisflyboy]

I love the lyrics. Thank you for sharing with us.

[lilbits]

love it.

[tomwildun]

i saw it live :) awesome

[beautifulbreakdown3]

once again, you blow everyone out of the water with this little number. :]

[BambiBoiz]

Very nice piano, very original!

[Renulph]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[JulOyt]

The original sounds great. This one is good too.

[Stampy398]

This has a very Muse feel... just better :).

[cheeezon]

very genuine, love it :)

[TheBrooklynRadio]

This is wicked! -Keep it up Jack.

Peace

BkRadio

[SliceyPete]

Amazing as all ways ^_^

[paradeproductions]

You truly are Blessed Jack!...dont ever stop doing what you do.

[flamekid220]

don't worry, i didn't notice the autotone at all.

[XVeriandomNess]

Better then the original in my sincere opinion, theres a clarity and simpleness that the original doesnt have, (the original is great too), Merely Vocals and ... Piano?, good job, loved it :)

[zenobiastar]

Gosh, I honestly don't think I will ever be unimpressed with one of your videos. Love it lots and lots!

[kaliazzura]

This is unreal!

[LanaRaeMusic]

forever and ever impressed.

[Jangofett56]

This is so amazing

[lovepencils]

absolutely beautiful.

[crimsong19]

Awesome, Jack!

[GodHandPresents]

YES JACK FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR OH HELL IN A GOOD VERSION FOR SOO LONG XD

love you for planning to put it up for us :)

[thomxxx]

The webcast was great, I just hate my place @work for its stupid proxy that can't let me use the IRC chat properly. GRR.

Hope the next one is soon !

Oh, and I'm proud to say that your next morning breakfast or whatever will be sponsored by my purchase of the Pomplamoose album on iTunes ! \o/

And I urge you to come to my house ! French Riviera is great : we can just go by the sea and spend the night on the beach playing music & singing songs !

PLUS, I'll bring cookies. Now how great is that ?

[revengerste]

this song should be on the fifth element movie

[Flashmaster88]

I really love your music, Mr. Conte.

[Sanchez350]

Jack, I sincerely wish I could tell you how much I love this song. How much it haunts me all the time; during my sleep, at school... This version seems to me no less delicious than the other. From the bottom of heart, thank you.

[pnoygh3]

[terick]

[sweetnessonice]

PLEASE PLEASE ACOUSTIC LONELY GHOST!!! That's my favorite of yours.

[Dejital]

Jack you need to do more acoustic songs, I bet it takes a lot less effort on your part, and you still get a very good video performance and video.

STILL WAITING FOR OH HELL VIDEO SONG THOUGH :)

[jackcontemusic]

dude, Oh Hell is on the way!! i like to acoustic songs as well, it's a different kind of thing, but still fun. i'll post oh hell soon. A couple more are coming soon, and then oh hell, i promise!

[SanctifiedReunion]

@jackcontemusic You promised! Where is it? Jack....you've gathered such an enormous following and then abandoned us! :-p

[tophlovr]

@SanctifiedReunion OR.... he is just really busy making both his music and the music for pomplamoose. Just a thought.

[AndThePartner]

@jackcontemusic JACK! Oh hell?!?! The videosong! Where is it?!!? It'd be SO bomb to hear a studio version, even though just you and the accordion is powerful enough. Me and my girlfriend are gonna be covering Oh hell tonight and posting it! :D

Much love,

Peru and Natalie

[TannerGr8rix]

It's STILL 666??? NOW it's devil man time!!!! ahaha...stupid youtube counters:P

[IronMan360]

[kreton420]

[kohlcass]

[jeenyus42484]

Fascinatingly haunting.

[alvarolaguna]

Bravo!

[FuriousGopher]

I love that sound

[b4u68k]

moar

[BRAMSHILOH]

awesome!! This is really impressive!! Bless

[Michigan1985]

This one was always my favorite.

[jerein70]

Sennheiser HD 280 pros. I own a pair, and the sound quality on them is superb.

[Skitkat101]

What a way to wake up.

... Man, now the "muffin and tea" routine seems kindof boring.

[jackcontemusic]

hahha!! i love muffins!

[firefly09td]

@jackcontemusic I must say, the way the new page is set up this looks completely random... xD..... and as a side note, muffins are tasty.

[XxShadicxX]

What type of headphones are those?

[GermanPornMaster]

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro

They cost 95 EUR (thomann) in Europe. Excellent sound isolation, but lack in the basses.

Perfect for monitoring and keeping the playback out of the recording. Highly suggested.

[BrianJunglist]

you rock my socks jack

[CelphaFiael]

you know I like this

[gvargo545]

....wow! awsome :) :) inspiring

[Giarknot]

The webcast was awesome! Definitely worth staying up till 3am for! Although my tired eyes would beg to differ...

[loki1200]

Autotune! Tut tut :)

Love this song.

[xxc3lld4m4gexx]

BRILLIANT...i wish i hadn't had to work so i could have seen the live show :*(

[Shisho2k]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I like how messy his instrument room is in these videos.

[jackcontemusic]

hahaha, thank you! i try to keep it clean....

[OnEye]

you ooze passion jack ..

truly happy this planet has you on it.

much luv.

[brentoned]

[pappachook]

Amazing voice and jack and great composition

[treehamallama]

your a amazing, i love singing along to this one.

[MobileMediaProducts]

This is truly one of my most favorite songs ever! Terrific work, Jack. This one song could make you rich, I think. As a gift to human beings, this is a diamond, pure and sparkling and beautiful in every light. Marius

[jeffreywooten]

[conrw12]

Fantástico

[likethewater]

I'm so bummed I missed it! it was at 1:00 AM my time and I had class the next morning..

anyway this is great! I love it - brilliant as always..

[robotturkey2929]

I caught the end of it, missed this song though I like it, it is haunting and has a surreal quality. Hope that guy sends the cymbals and is that a Fender Rhodes you are playing?

[whiteknives]

Another video of awesomeness :) -Ky

[noleyone]

Dam I missed the live show! When will you do another???? This song is great just another in am amazing line up of songs. You need to take a big long trip over here to PA.

[Flangel66]

Bah, I started to watch, but it was all laggy, so I gave up and went to watch Bill.

Hopefully I'll catch one in future. Thanks for the free mp3! :]

[ignaci0bosch]

really grat, i regret i missed the live thing, hope to catch it next time =)

[tuden]

GOD!!!i love it,it's so expressive.

[NeedsSemicolon]

What does he mean by autotuned at 2:30?

[PopcOrnDeVilPD]

He used software to make the pitch perfect.

Might have just been a little off pitch, I wouldn't have noticed if he didn't put the annotation in, lol.

[doctornoise]

still my fav. song. I wanted to watch your webcast, but I was doing my own at almost the exact same time. haha. Some of my regular viewers were switching between us ;)

[Evilhamster95]

Great job!

[unlucky13tattoo]

the webcast was really fun, thanks for taking the time to actually really try and answer as many questions that you possibly could. I can't believe you were even able to keep up, but that went pretty smooth. I'm going to see about some used broken cymbals for you tomorrow. Later

A+

[Coloredsand]

I saw your webcast!

You're an amazing artist Jack Conte. :-]

[EirosNevermore]

HOORAY! you are the sooper coolest!

[kthxrae]

...God, I love you.

[gogomint77]
