Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down

[JrJvn10r]

My hopes are so high,

That your kiss might kill me.

So won't you kill me,

So I die happy.

My heart is yours to fill or burst,

To break or bury,

Or wear as jewellery,

Whichever you prefer.

[rony042]

2:11 is when it all gets down! Especially at 3:08

[drumnifty]

[TheBakerFamily10]

@greapfer717 Well I've never heard a responce like that. My husband sings me this sond when I'm mad at him <3



[goldenhiro]

<3 the only way I can actually describe this song.

[JohnFrushaunty]

@greapfer717 that would be a broner.

[kajalyons85]

After all these years its great to come back to the song that still pulls your heart. To remember the summer of '03 is just great. Got out of high school frist love just good times. Thumbs up if you love this song when it first came out

[Acoustic4182]

love this song, it never get's old

[alainaccount]

dashboard my #1 idol!

[lovez2eat]

Could someone tell me where I may find the beautiful beautiful live version of this song feat. Michael Stipe? I loved it, but I'm afraid it got deleted...YouTube's a bitch. -.-

[conkerbine]

[Hellsing691000]

[DP1026]

That would be funny, if she told him I DIDN'T mean it, stop yelling.



[prange7165]

OH SHIT PLEASE TELL ME I CAN BUY THIS VERSION?

[kealohalaula]

@prange7165 Donʻt have to. Just download Audio Hijack. =]



[rossmorris]

@kealohalaula Buy it you thief! If you cant affort it then tough titties you cant have it.

[kealohalaula]

@rossmorris Thank you Ross for your kind words. Is this version available for purchase? Because I couldnʻt find it. If you do, please post it here. On a side note, I purchased all of their albums. Thank you again for your help.

[pleasedontsplitmax]

I love Dashboard acoustic so much its incredible lol.Im a guy and he makes me melt.But i have to be honest in that i really like the old stuff better.Not saying i dont love the new stuff,its just theres alot of emotion here.Also I dont want to make anyone mad at me and if you are i completely understand,but I think dashboard has deep fans so if anyone has the time try and search"THE ELECTRIC SHOES YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND"its my band and were just starting off and i would love for you to hear it.

[YummyYamamoto]

Beautiful

[PedalToFuckinMetal]

yeah.. she meant it. i believe you.. yes..

[MasterMoshify]

he puts so much emotion into any song he sings. i love it

[20jaj]

I love the intro

[elizabethgaskelfan]

'my heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury, or wear as jewelery, whichever you prefer!' LOVE THAT!

[koolerthanapolarbear]

srsly tho, hands down is DC's ONE and ONLY good song



[unplugged182]

[PsUncles]

I started listening to this song in summer 2007. I fell in love with a girl on the beach and this song makes me always think of her.

[geldofpunk32]

Chills.

[excellerateurbreath]

my favorite band for life. This man is amazing, this song is the best, this performance is fucking awesome

[RickyBarrera100]

Holy Crap The Ending Gave Me Chills

[somefilipinoisme]

This song still blows me away, since the day I myself covered and played over and over again. Especially love the ending it's fucking phenomenal, hands down one of my favorite songs.

[IsThisEvenEdible]

I was craving acoustic guitar songs and decided to give Dashboard Confessional a chance.. he disappointed me, this is lame

[SesayyElliei318]

[megalita3890]

[ukjames87]

[howenbonzox]

@ukjames87 frostwire (:

[LilaFreakk]

hi carissa

[hotpinkgrl08]

wow... just the emotion he put into the whole song, just wow! <3

[MrCrazyman854]

hes either jewish or itialian cause thats one big nose o.O

[chokedonpride]

@MrCrazyman854 yes, his forefathers decided to celebrate hannukah and disregard Jesus, and in return, the great spirit blessed them with big noses.

[FS7able]

@MrCrazyman854 He's Italian. I know this for two reasons: 1. Carraba is definitely derived from latin, and so you can narrow it down to number two on the list. 2. Wikipedia says he is :)

[Tweetyiskool]

@FS7able Wikipedia Says he is JAJAJAJAJJAJAJJAJJAJ

[chizdawan]

wtf.. this is turning you guys gay? i'm sorry, if this vid gave you a boner.. but me I just remembered my lost love and my love of my life now.. this is a great song.. but man, if this give you a boner, then you're probably just gay.. :)

[greapfer717]

Damn.....that left me speechless.....

[xxNinjaBean]

So much emotion... gets me every time. ♥

[tr0mb3ls]

LOVE IT!

[na3x]

anyone who watches this would believe that he really experienced the lyrics. :"> look how hypnotizing his look is at 03:11, it made me fall in love with him. T.T <3

[FS7able]

@na3x From what I hear, he really did. It's supposedly about the "greatest date (or day, I've heard both) he's ever had".

[TheRusso008]

@FS7able it more about the first time he passed the night with his girlfriend, that means when he lost his virginity

[FS7able]

@TheRusso008 Yeah, that's what I thought too. Either that or he had already lost his virginity and that was just the best night of sex he's ever had.

[SoloDrPepper]

the best song of all time

[snyderfootball12]

this sucks

[joelzon]

@snyderfootball12 wow really... cuz for what i think, this is a nice song and a nice version...

[ladyhiiragizawa]

ppl were saying that he was sexy on a white T in the other video... they definetly havenst seen him on this vid =D

[dimewylde28]

dudes, he uses his guitar as an instrument to go along with his voice, hes the rhythm player for a reason, how about instead of trying to sound awesome because you can say someone sucks at guitar try to understand the skill needed to sing the way he does and play as well

[escaflowne3]

@blahhayden

that's idiotic. his voice has nothing to do with the guitar, if someone wants to critique his playing they can do so if they want

[blahhayden]

@escaflowne3 Okay okay, yeah good point. Clearly nobody agrees with me. Just like your lack of punctuation has nothing to do with the English language, so by your standards I'm completely entitled to critique you? Dude shoo, I'm saying he is a SINGER not a guitar player, you wouldn't poke fun at Ray Charles because he isn't the best at putting on a lively show. Just stop being so negative and listen to Chris sing! (:

[chokedonpride]

@blahhayden actually you are mistaken sir, he is clearly a guitar player hence why he seems to be producing sound via the wooden box with strings attached sitting in his lap in the video.

[blahhayden]

@chokedonpride

Okay, yes, but what is he better known for? That's my point. He is a lead singer. But I'm not going to argue on this video, it's made to enjoy. Dealio?

[Psykoticmaniac]

i love this dude, i love all there songs. His songs are so meaningful

[daisycrls]

@blahhayden LOL! 

[ticeh42200]

im the same way with my guitar playing after awhile of playing a song you get lazy,

HE wrote it... and plays it all fast like when he needs to..

[phiten40]

this could be the single greatest performance I've ever seen on youtube or anywhere else for that matter. absolutely incredible

[ConnorRayDavisWorld]

he sucks at guitar

[lespaul770]

@ConnorRayDavisWorld better than youll ever be

[ConnorRayDavisWorld]

@lespaul770 take me up on that? bet im better than him,

[francoalva1000]

the end is fucken sick. i used to sing and play this song to an ex, that's how I finally got her to love me haha .. she loved this one more than any other song ever. good memories of my life thanks to this song..

[nikkiprincess11]

beautiful and sensational voice

[poio1982]

Chris... you do not know me and i do not know you... but i just want to say THANK YOU. your lirics really saved my Life, God bless.

[mokaszin]

maybe i wasnt paying enough attention but whats the problem with his guitar playing? get over yourself.

[Doug3790]

ist die partitur von diesem lied als .pdf datei o.Ä. erhältlich?

is the score of this song available as a .pdf or so?

[beginningtheacoustic]

amazing singers don't write their own material, so when you can find a halfway decent guy who writes/sings and has talent oozing out his ass like chris, cherish it, don't bash.

[abckrazy]

@blahhayden The people getting mad about the guitar playing are probably musicians trying to find the right chords like myself Mr/Mrs. Judgemental !

[awsomeman1]

This Is A Great Performance..He Plays Great Sings Better..No One Does What he does..When you can sell out shows with just your voice and an acoustic guitar..you know your great

[cartmen73]

The vocal degree of difficulty for this song, especially acoustic and solo, is off the charts. Awesome performance that really can't be duplicated by 99.99% of the population. (Spoken by a 20+ year performing musician)

[metalcorejoe]

intro guitar fail...lol

[Jrobertsmusickid]

Another side note... This was a solo special. How many songs do you think he sang before this one? The fact that he can still talk is amazing, let alone sing. I'm a guitar player myself for 6 years, I've made lots of mistakes... yes, even playing my own songs. He's done some great song writing, that we can all agree on.

[HatheMsx]

amazing

[nikkiprincess11]

sensational voice.. i could listen to him singing forevrr (L)

[monea3173]

she didn't kiss me like she meant it... she totally meant it...

[DemonicSolider]

He always goes crazy at the end haha

[Jteether]

So much respect for Chris. His songs mean a lot to him and it clearly shows when he performs like this.

[mariaviolette]

WOW!...he really meant it!..

[onlygiveyourlove]

que excelente artista y que buena cancion me gusta mucho...puedo escucharla y escuchar todo el dia...

[onlinedude15]

this song is amazing. i agree with jrodc. the feeling he puts into this song, especially towards the end is amazing. i sing a cover of this for my band. its a really amazing song, and i dont see why anyone would dislike it.

[Hellsing691000]

need 56 bullets. . . .

[Jteether]

@Hellsing691000 No kidding

[Hellsing691000]

@Jteether yup no kidding . . . 56 bieber fans still hates it and no counting . . . threaten by me . . .well good!!!

[ItsGettingColder1]

@Hellsing691000 g1

[irierastafari420]

@Hellsing691000

[Hellsing691000]

@irierastafari420 ok.

[irierastafari420]

@Hellsing691000

[legendario227]

@Hellsing691000  you need more bullets... wuajajajja

[vendweler]

@Hellsing691000 you need 62 bullets now there are 62 dislikes wew i wonder why those people dislikes, maybe they are deaf!

[XxAdTrFrEaKiNrOcKsXx]

it takes a souless person to dislike this

[BAIRDMLG2]

wooh 100% rockband 2 on vocals expert im god hahahah

[january1030]

@BAIRDMLG2 well you could actually hit a note with the same pitch, one octave lower, in rock band. :))

[squishygaara]

He's so passionate, its amazing, this is one of my favorite songs. It fits a lot of the way things are between me and my fiance, its just and amazing song. Screw u 55.

[FelsGc]

I'm Like 1278!

[chreezrockz]

wow. i like the stats. there are only 55 pussies in the world.

[Hellsing691000]

Fuck you 55 people who dislike this video i hope you all die soon!! I bet you like Justine Bieber. listen to the real music. Christoper Ender Carrabba is one of the best musician in the world! he can sing so fucking amazing and the the lyrics its Imbalance ,, i bet n0o one can match Chris Carrabba in writing a song, just listen to all his song you'll see what i mean!

[silversundash]

@awsumpersonx3 yeah you should the vindicated version he does, poor guy's screaming at the end, surprised if he was able to talk at all at the end of the day

[benbonigan]

this is fucking amazing

[TheBenWelch]

To everyone who is criticizing his guitar playing (I can't stop you from doing it; go right ahead): Show me a guitarist who has never messed up.

[Elementer93]

its really bad live

[chrisman090]

@Elementer93 he is sick lol.

[Elementer93]

@chrisman090 are you a musican yourself?

[awsomeman1]

@Elementer93 hey man you suck live..i have seen it live and it owns your face. and im a musician.

[Elementer93]

@awsomeman1 and i guess you are an awsome one to lol

[einsamste]

shame he cant play guitar worth shit

[edventurekid]

@einsamste Don't hate people make mistakes especially people who sing and play guitar.

[silversundash]

@einsamste you idiot hes on vh1, he has his own mtv unplugged cd and 6 albums over the decade, how can he play guitar then?

[awsomeman1]

@einsamste i bet chris will own your face at guitar..

[ortizmi]

This is got to be my favorite song of all time. I love it.  I've seen them three times in concert and they are just as amazing. They write their own songs and play their own music. They're real artists.

[ewoyo]

Amazing... I don't know what to say...

[misspimpinprincesse]

52 people out there with ucky music tastes >.<

[stayaliveplayer1]

[2taggs2]

Lazy performance

[gavins13]

amazing!!!!!

[izdajalec]

OMG, my brother could play the guitar like this when he was 14. Laughable comments by people who think this is good. He just strums the string down and up. Singing is catastrophic too, where did this guy his fame? People actually listen to this??? hahahaha

[UchIhAYuMi123]

@izdajalec This is one opinion that I DEFINITELY disagree on

[gogreenranger87]

@izdajalec i hope you get hit by a bus!

[laxedskater009]

@izdajalec your just jealous, i feel sorry for you...

[animedude107]

@izdajalec what the hell?! you're judging him on how he strums? and i liked his vocals. You're not a very nice person are you? lol

[vayne6]

@izdajalec What do you want him to strum sideways? Douche.

[mylahrose]

3:14 His eyes! so much emotions chris and I love it.

[mylahrose]

3:14 His eyes! so much emotions Chris and I love it.
