The Morning Benders - Excuses (Yours Truly session)

[Azazel368]

Actually thought it was "At Last" by Etta James when I heard the part just before he starts singing.

[NATASHAHAHAHA]

so incredibly beautiful and heartfelt! 

[dlax833]

For some reason, some parts of this remind me of The Beatles.

[JDAWGOFDREAD]

@dlax833 yeahhh i know right? :D



[BoarderGreen]

Love his voice yeees

[ForbiddenVegetable]

If you mute it, it looks like he's mentally challenged and the people in the room are singing with him to try and get him through the rest of the sentence.

[mcnuggetter]

@ForbiddenVegetable and if you only listen to it, it sounds like a musical genius surrounded by noobs

[cokerainbows]

@ForbiddenVegetable lmao

[WaywardWinds]

Great song, rip Etta James.

[etomkinson]

anyone hear a resemblance to etta james' song "At Last"??

[TheKebin88]

[Ryandalionbitch]

[CultofAdonis]

[NastyNateHB]

@CultofAdonis Just a little odd....

[PipPipBagina]

this was posted on my birthday!!!!!

[skatermsteryeah]

I remember watching this since it merely had 200k views. I'm glad to see so many more people liking it, yet I think it deserves millions of more views.

[vazquelily]

The gentleman that plays guitar with the beard and black shirt is extremely attractive :)

[Chrischutube]

[RafaelDelgadoGarcia]

who else came here because of tPuds part?

[obimeowz]

oh Chris.

[ampmtask]

there are some hot girls in this vid. the music is hot too.

[djrobo73]

Its like a musical version of Apple Pie and Ice Cream. And then the ice cream runs out before the pie....but then someone gives you a whole new scoop of ice cream to finish. Its that good!

[handmethemike]

The most beautifully written song about sex ever made.

[schizoidhaus]

[neeks0222]

does anyone else notice the lead singer for girls playing the guitar in the back at 2:33

[TheCemeteria]

Could someone by any chance write down what he said at the beginning and in the end? I don't understand a word. :D Anyways, beautiful song. :)

[hadamajita456]

I love it!

[Wolfibebeca]

Chuck 

[Canes669]

[CollaborationSeries]

It's like....a church of hipsters.

[itsstillfriday]

I feel intimidated... these people look smarter than me... I bet they all read books!! :-P

[AlexjDevor]

For some reason, the lead singer reminds me of a young Paul McCartney. 

[itsstillfriday]

@AlexjDevor Yeah.. reminds me of a young Steve Winwood... :-)

[fasdfwqeasasdf]

look at the guy at 2:24....

[IcyScythe]

[Heck996]

[sk8ersforlife1]

[yemisichemistry]

A year and a half later and I'm still in love

[Ginsoakedman]

@yemisichemistry likewise:)

[NotYourAverageMoron]

@yemisichemistry A year and a half later and I still don't give a fuck.

[EMILOOBROWN]

@Projukaha Hipster is an apt description of the people in the room, the song is beautiful and I chose an accurate adjective to describe the people who contributed to the creation of it. Its not a bad word, its descriptive.

[Arrustyblade]

Haha bent

[LordHaveMercy2]

This is something very special

[VittoriaDusseau]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a little brother. And he's a cuter.

[FlyingCow777]

poop

[thekarlyjade]

I think that the method of recording with a large group of people is BEAUTIFUL. It must be so uniting and exhilarating being all scrunched into a smallish recording studio with all those people making music.

Thank you, The Morning Benders, for your beautiful music and words :) Your music fills my whole being with joy!

[rajat633]

touching song

[FreakExceptionale]

2:32 It's the lead singer for Girls!

[MissNatalonga]

Squatty guy looks like a friend of mine, the cool thing about this video is that I feel like I know these people.

[athuzand0thu9]

I was about to download this song illegally. then i watched this video and it made me smile. So i went to iTunes and bought the song. Keep up the good work. I love when music is communal

[staygold12368]

T-Pud brought me here!!!

[iansarza18]

How can this possibly have dislikes?

[alberito93]

Thumb this up so everyone can read the lyrics! You tried to taste me, And I taped my tongue to the southern tip of your body. Our bones are too heavy to come up, Squished into a single cell of wood. I made an excuse. You found another way to tell the truth. I put no one else above us. We'll still be best friends when all turns to dust. We are so smooth now. Our edges are beaten, drift wood whittled down. Old bodies slip when they make love. We'll mine our sparks to shoot us above!

[contraversalshit]

@alberito93  its not taped my tounge.

[alberito93]

@contraversalshit take my tongue?

[TheKarlAnthonyyy]

I will get married to this song.

[FakeMusicSnob]

Dude is on crutches at 5:25 and still managed to come record. what a champ! lol

[VittoriaDusseau]

This is pure amazement.

[ellye73]

i heard this on the reese's cup commercial...

[featclover]

Chris Chu's voice is lovely.

[coffeewithaudrey]

I listen to this song once a day...I have for the past year. It keeps me sane, gives me hope, reminds me of the beautiful things left in this world. Love everything about this masterpiece.

[turdass71]

[Xxsk8musexX]

torey pudwill <3

[sk8ersforlife1]

backside lip master <3

[ntgufe]

this song is so incredibly beautiful and touching, that i want the whole world to know about it, but i don't want to share it with anyone else at the same time! i want to listen to it by myself for the rest of my existence...

[gleglegl0]

@ntgufe what a hipster response, haha

[coffeewithaudrey]

@ntgufe You perfectly described how I feel about it too.

[karla2011384]

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG! <3.

[microscepter]

nothing hipster or progressive about what I'm going to say; Nothing 'in' or trendy, or that would really stand out too much amongst this fabulous Youtube world of quips and witty puns; Nothing really relevant even, at least not to take up a stanzas worth of comment space... clears throat.. urm urM!! .. This.. is fucking beautiful. :>)

[alexavizc]

Reminds me of 'At Last' by Etta James

[ramunesin]

2:10 that guy bobbing is just too much. I can't help but smile every time I see him do that.

[triviumatic17]

i swear the melody was taken from another older song. i just dont know where. anyone have an idea?

a great song nonetheless.

[CameronTheCannibal]

HEY! Thats Christopher Owens From Girls (3:51) AHH!!!! I love San Fran bands....

[SesenM]

@CameronTheCannibal Gaaaah, noticed that to!! :D

[yogabbashaina]

[yogabbashaina]

[liraple]

[imsavinupforjesus]

Such an even number of dislikes, its so perfect... but i hate it

[jerinawan]

[soNOTkelseyy]

I keep trying to just listen to this song and do other things but I can't look away from the music video.

[Jawn91]

[ohyeamanishere]

[papitascrujientes]

God, his voice.



[ossiethegreat]

seriously, what is a hipster ? Anyone who seems to produce good folk/alternative music seems to gets called it.

[LennoxBrigade]

@ossiethegreat you have the entire fucking internet at your finger tips, why waste space with a silly question on a good music video.

[ossiethegreat]

@LennoxBrigade Is this supposed to be Irony ?

[kiahleighbyrne]

It is beautiful and I'm repeating the crap out of it... but I just love how he acts like he's all that bringing back the wall of sound thing.. SO MANY PEOPLE DO THAT

[chinkybenito]

I love the guitar sections! They seem to have the most enthusiasm!

[ryan473]

i like his droopy eye. i have asian eyes myself, and one is in fact droopy.

[ntgufe]

@AdolescentTheory The lyrics are beautiful. Literally.

[javierlikesmusic]

[zXLIFESILLXz]

Great song, I cant deny it. But it saddens me that they don't have more songs like this. I only like 1 or 2 of their other songs...and Ive given all of them a listen :/.

[Jacketman42]

This is what music is all about. F'n AMAZING!!!!

[MBSSTony]

It's like the first time i heard the Beatles!! :D

[ragininagu90]

@L3GITXBMX Haha! I love that guy! Makes me laugh every time!

[theisenator]

Probably the coolest thing I've seen any band today do

[lexiUHMAYZEENG]

isnt that the guy from 3rd rock from the son?

[Prieztiano]

Just Beautiful.

[flipass1]

the violin piece in this song sounds so familiar to a classic piano solo of a classical sing. Anybody know what it sounds like?

[bxbobable]

@flipass1 It's from "At Last" by Etta James

[EMILOOBROWN]

What a spectatcularly beautiful symphony of hipsters! This song is seriously amazing...

[Porojukaha]

@EMILOOBROWN please dont call them hipsters. Just call them musicians with good taste in music. Because thats all they are.

[watershedify]

Musical Genius!!...this will never get old. Well done by everyone and the video was done well too. Speaking of Reeses gears together spinning in harmony..give this young girl a shot! She has an awesome voice that would make a great duet with Chris Chu. The post was a playful"Happy Birthday Justin "gift start @ 2:06 and she plays the ukulele. I was listening to the various covers and she is light years ahead of them all.

[floralflowersz]

its all christmassy :)

[shazzamitsbj]

Gotta love the oompa loompa in the background from 2:10-2:15 ^ ^

[natethegreat248]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt can sing?!?



[nonnahsbackwards]

@natethegreat248 thats exactly what i thought!

[teaandthesea]

oh goodness, that singer is so attractive.

[bellabel53]

[theadulterybrothers]

They wanted to do it like Phil Spector, and in true Phil Spector fashion....they killed it.

[BMCumz]
