The Whitest Boy Alive - Don't Give Up

[sartreismartre]

reminds me of the band The Ocean Blue and maybe Al Stewart a little. Nice sound.

[TheSkateJoy]

Sick

[TheRabidMonky]

This song is amazing, it kind of has a trance feel to it while also mixing in a healthy dose of indie. Really subtle, but it hits hard and is very beautiful.

[Nomisyahu]

@DrawnProject both

[adelRX7]

Dis music's tasty

[izaphunk]

muy buena

[Stevelogical]

9 people scroll thru random songs and let you know they don't like what you like.

[adelRX7]

I think psychologists could save a lot of effort by just lettin clients listen to this.

[mjjaney]

@adelRX7 Yep. I totally would. Thanks for the suggestion. Today, I am using this song in class while they work on a reflection activity.

[adelRX7]

Is it OK if I cry ? Well, all alone with these lyrics... I know you feel it too :) Thanks WBA!!!

[adelRX7]

These  Scandinavians really deserve more credit, more success. Mellow & smart, deep...

[doomedarkness]

@adelRX7 Word.

[HarlowJammy]

the first 45 seconds sound similiar to Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap :)

[TJoel15]

@HarlowJammy *the first 45 seconds of Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap sound similar to this :)

[noammanri]

@TJoel15 good answer

[cultmountain]

Everywhere Erlend Øye is has beautiful lyrics, Kings of Convenience, Whitest Boy Alive ♥ I'm in looooove. He's my favorite person in the world.

[mydirtyundiesdude]

shocking how a band can make songs like this and borders and then release shit like that second album. average band with a couple of absolute gems.

[chaseroo]

"lyric from the song"

[IVIuFFin1]

[schreibmichab]

@schreibmichab

U made my day !

[OGEOBD]

Très bon groupe, je l'ai écouté en concert. Très raffiné, soft, musique intelligente, les instruments sonnent a damner... Trop mal connu malheureusement. J'aimerais bien les voir sur scène avec Daft Punk.

The Whitest Boy FOREVER!!! love you

[therealparanormale]

pure pop!

[ArmagedBUSH84]

yeah so amazing!!!so beautiful this song ...i dreamed away... mfg german guy ;)

[strangefacekid]

Such a sad and beautiful song about relationships. Sad in the way that it perfectly describes the role play of a one sided relationship and all the horrible feelings of rejection, but still you can't listen to it and not feel happy that there is always tomorrow, maybie not now, but it's just around the corner, amazing stuff.

Don't give up X

[sizqster]

[corinavalentina25]

[InfektedSquirrel]

[edwinslim]

[o0debs]

the lyrics are mind blowing

[21stcenturyromantic]

Hey guis. Seems like you know what is this about. OR at least we are tohether in this.

[MrPatience41]

this is one of my favorite song

[DJDVNO]

I dedicated this song to a girlfriend of mine. She cried but it made her get even more strength to get through a part in her life that was very difficult for her and me. She really wanted to give up but I didn't and I ave her this song one day and well shes still here today :)

[pokeamaan]

AWESOME! : )

[davebnrg]

did royksopp just do a cover or is their version the original???

[dingozipper]

Röyksopp did a cover of this in concert using the melody which would later become "49%," another amazing song of theirs.

See, Whitest Boy Alive was once just the same as Röyksopp, that is, an electro-pop band. It was kind of a homage to cover this song.

[Rooster128]

I can relate completely, this song is so beautiful. I love Whitest Boy Alive!

[lalalalawoo3]

awesome song!!

[Pinselfarbe]

Don't know what to say, really. Just so...perfect.

[Jonilj]

Love this tune. It doesn't get any worse that I always associate the backbeat with Paul Simon's music. Truly perfection.

[Matze23SE]

my favourite song ... im gonna do a better video for that ... it deserves more than two pictures

[stopplaycue]

it deserves an official video actually.. it's my fav too.. I just put two pics because I wanted to send it to someone ;-)

[Jikel7Bob224]

when you do post it as a video response- btw yea thanks for putting this up cuz it cant be found on youtube but it does deserve a better video

[frznbxy]

@Matze23SE so? did you ever make it? :D

[marcusweee]

@Matze23SE It's the song that counts, not the video. Even if you upload this song on youtube with just black throughout the whole song people will still love it. It's the song ;)

[drewj12]

@Matze23SE I think the video/picture mix is sublime here.

[walklb]

@Matze23SE well.. one year passed.. where's that vid response? :D
