The Freshman - Jay Brannan

[werty5551]

Found on pandora.. im a freshman... pandora reads minds

[TheCrimsonWasp]

Does anyone else think Jay Brannan could be Commander Shepherd in a Mass Effect movie? He's definitely got the look!

[gizzie0716]

Beautiful song. LOVE this cover.

[Goliathjumper1]

I haven't heard this song in forever, but I immediatley knew what song it was <3

[RIPCityBeav]

Not bad, but this doesn't even come close to the original because its missing the raw emotion of Verve Pipe.

[CarieM92]

This is amazingly beautiful. :)

[ijusthadcereal]

thank you pandora<3 i love this guy already. perfect crying/chilling/nightowling/sl­eeping/makingout/cuddling song.

[CandiaseRogers]

I love this song always have and as good as this version is I think I will always prefer The Verve Pipe version since that's what I grew up with but ty pandora for introducing me to an artist I hadn't heard of before who was def worth the listen

[MissAmberlee1]

thank you PANDORA for introducing me to this amazing cover.....:D

[greenday15625]

got this from a Pandora AFI station.... may not understand it but y'know what? it lead me to a beautiful song and singer!

[Miles9305]

Pandora lead me to this guy, which means Pandora= pure awesomeness!

[ChaoticGleek]

Pandora- Coldplay Station :)

[MaximusDrillur]

@ChaoticGleek same

[imshinycaptain]

Pandora also, on the Dresden Dolls channel! Along with Rasputina, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and lots of artists that I already love. Who cares how you found it? The fact that someone beside me still loves this song is more than enough for me.

[lalalandslide]

the piano in the beginning reminds me of the piano in the beginning of finding nemo.

[3GsCarVideos]

@lalalandslide yeah thomas newman FTW!

[ReflexDesigning]

Brand New station ;P

[psychout1240]

Pandora on Ronnie Day station.. loving every bit of it....

[SJIvy1408]

I found him after watching Shortbus and loving the bit of Soda Shop he sings in it.

[slowfoghat]

I don't know why but this has a Gary Jules "Mad World" like melody...maybe thats why i like this song

[ChuckyTufler]

Pandora- Lonely Forest station

[mike16h5]

This version is awful! Jay Brennan has one good song....Goddamned. The rest is very amateur.

[mike3667]

@mike16h5

I quite enjoy how you don't give valid reasoning to why it's awful.

[Loleezy808]

one of the best covers ever, to any song

[RicketsXXII]

I found him and this song when a girl in my creative writing class used the lyrics for an Oral Interpritation. It really impacted me during my freshman year.

[WTFproz]

Pandora- Hallelujah station(:

[dancer1700]

ive looked up the lyrics and listened to the song 12354523 times and i stil cant figure out what its about? Anybody know?

[lisuhgorawr]

@dancer1700

its about how young and stupid we can be, making choices and saying things we dont mean that can hurt others and can even result in deaths and think its not our fault but in reality we were part of the result, but thats just my interpretation of it :P

[SinginSarahB]

Pandora- We Might Fall :) station

[trippinrooster]

Pandora, Incubus station.

[dancer1700]

Found this on the Boyce Avenue station on Pandora, and i cannot stop listening to it.. (:

[Phabieau42]

Wow, so many different stations. Ingrid Michaelson. I have heard this song before, but not this version. Gorgeous.

[97lexilou]

when i heard this song it made me cry to know someone is going though what i am.you know what i mean?its amazing! thank you so much!please keep writeing!never stop!!!! forever you fan!

[colleenieness]

@97lexilou this song is definitely amazing, but it's a cover haha. the original is by the verve pipe :)

[xStarlyn101x]

found this song when i was a freshman in high school. ironic huh? lol

[Drillur]

Wow. Nobody gives a shit how you heard of this song. The only important thing is that you heard it. More people need to hear this cover.

[SuperStuffToDo]

pandora- David Choi

[Thehijosh]

Pandora- Mumford and Sons

[ToxicPopsicle]

[YUPimBrandy]

I love the melody of this song. Especially at the "for the life of me.. " part.

<3

[thewaller09]

I found him through Pandora and I'm not embarrassed at all. That's how I've found many of my favorite artists. I don't think how you find someone should matter, just that you do find them.

[jesse4848]

@thewaller09 thank goodness theres someone other than me thats not like "what a bitch he found his music on pandora"

[nonstoptrouble2]

@thewaller09 I found him on Pandora too!

[freddiemerc4eva]

@thewaller09

that's how i found this song and i'm glad i did :D

[JAODdancer411]

@thewaller09 sameeeee!

[simplicity240]

what does it matter how people heard his music? why cant everyone just be happy he is being heard? I found him through my sister a couple of years ago, forgot about him in the many other great artists that I have been listening to, then heard him on Pandora and have come back for his amazing voice. Love the music no matter how its heard, after all that's what its all about. The Music.

[calmyoshiz]

@simplicity240 It doesn't matter where people found him. Though it's not like people are saying "I found him I'm Pandora wtf he sucks giant cocks." They are saying it because they are happy they found him. So they are happy he is being heard. Idk how this got top comment.

[xThisFinalDarkangelx]

Screw PANDORA... I love this guy, his voice is gentle... Yeah I think his voice needs to be turned up and the piano down. but its still beautiful

[XHighestEliteX]

I bet I'm at least 2000 of the views for this song :)

[ayamemousy]

i used to listen to this song when i was younger on the radio. i found it again on pandora :P

[Arthurgazula]

Demais o som do Jay! :)

[neugoof]

Loved this song when Verve Pipe did it way back, I like this version I think he missed by a smidge, but a good version. I guess it was the crescendos that hooked me.

Oh and I caught it on Pandora via 311. Go figure.

[PrincessBudenskya]

Apparently Verve Pipe did this song too, but I like this version better. Does anyone know whose it is originally?

[UmairZ7]

@PrincessBudenskya im pretty sure it was originally the verve pies

[baadshepherd]

@UmairZ7 Or Verve Pipe. But yes, originally verve pipe in 1996.

[wrv993]

@PrincessBudenskya the verve pipe.........

[bravo0404]

hahaha go pandora

[Siezevitalregions]

Thank God for Pandora and my Death Cab for Cutie station <3

[subarusumeragi]

Amazing, brilliant and talented as hell! This brings back strange memories of beer cans piling up in the sink, a strange feeling of loneliness that could never be filled and a softly broken youth. Jay Brannan's voice is utter gold!

I hope you all enjoy this deeply as much as I have!

[lawsons2552]

9 people probably took a weeks worth of valium

[synbin24]

9 people suck at life...

[Suicidalpsychic]

I knew this song before everyone was like, "PANDORA IS SO AMAZING ZOMG." .-.

But..I do give credit to Pandora for reminding me of this song.

You know a song is great when it makes you cry even if it has nothing to do with you.

[LeahJuliett]

pandora matt nathanson station:) gotta love it

[melissahowe80]

[UkuleleLoverKatie]

I can't be held responsible for hitting repeat over and over..... and over.

[TheCritics1011]

I cried listening to this song on the afterhours of school waiting outside in the rain. Spring brings back memories.

[mAwesome334]

Wow... it's pretty funny because this song brought me to Pandora... not the other way around haha. :)

[jvlove14]

Pandora u r amazing for introducing me to my lov!

[XxEyelinerHeartsxX]

Wow... His voice is beautiful... It literally made me melt... <3

[tweedpantsmv]

I have always loved this song, but this version for the first time genuinely brought me to tears. Beautiful.

[s0nicfan]

Great song, and this guy has the vocal chops, but there's something missing. It's like he's singing the words but he doesn't understand them. I don't feel the raw emotion that Brian Vander Ark has performing it. Then again, he did write it about his own personal demons. As such, the song feels empty, a shell with no soul.

[oYoYebutu]

This is slightly too soft. He needs to breathe some life into it. Just like The Verve Pipe.
