Brett Dennen - Sydney (I'll Come Running) Live in the Bing Lounge

[shimokita2]

What's this song about?

[longtimegone55]

Other than the fact that he can't sing or play guitar, he's pretty amusing. The hat suits him. Isn't he a character on Portlandia?

[shimokita2]

So, does he have a friend that is - from my understanding - a heroin addict and has been in trouble with the courts?

[bornduringrainstorm]

Wish I could knit and I'd make you a hat smothered in ten million kisses. You are a fuckin guru. You have never looked better than in this video...skinny. Hot. Your antics come from the gut...love and gasp at your music and your realness...oh, yeah, your looks...I'd die to see you.

[Mangoonism]

lol at 3:13 he is just going through a stage.

[quinsedlethorpid]

Van Morrison anyone??

[Daboppr]

like most of his age group,"can't sing to save his life" he would not know "On key" if it hit him in the ass... really,

[DebsterW]

@Daboppr funny, he goes on tour SINGING.. do you? point made!

[taterberryman]

@Daboppr Let's see if we can think of some in the older "age group" who could really sing. Pure vocalists like Bob Dylan or George Thorogood or Willie Nelson or John Fogerty. Oh wait a minute, those guys can't sing worth shit! But they've made millions SINGING and so has this guy. If everybody's voice sounded the same music would be boring. So get off your high horse and enjoy the tunes!

[radeon110]

how do you listen to this? give me a bottle of scotch and a handgun

[born2golf1221]

@radeon110 this song is beautiful.

[TheGeoGeneration]

@radeon110 physcooo

[grrawritsjordi]

I absolutely love him and his talent makes him oddly attractive...

[ilovepjysomuch]

he has an awesome sound and gives off lots of good vibes.

[thisiswilson2]

Holy he lost weight since I saw him at the Edmonton Folk Fest 2009

[Ruthelise96]

this is a tough song, and he is awesome! dont hate, congradulate!

[songs4film]

I'm an instant fan. Man, it's great to have an oasis away from all the cookie-cutter-shallow-pretty-f­aced-plastic-music-manufacturi­ng-horses#!t that's being offered today. Brett, long may you live, play, sing & prosper.

You're a true artist.

Sorry 'bout the venting....

[andrewschwarzenegger]

A young Ron Howard?? 

[MusicEqualsLife011]

MY NAME IS SYDNEY!!!!!!!!

[turoniner]

God his voice sounds bad, especially at the beginning when he's showing the crowd how to sing along. It's hard to be a singer. I'll bet he takes it for granted and doesn't train it.

[MarkDoesWork]

@turoniner His voice is dope dude. He sings like a Bob Dylan. He hits most of his notes awesomely.

[turoniner]

@MarkDoesWork Ha okay. It's funny how people can have such different perspectives. Enjoy.

[MarkDoesWork]

@turoniner Yeah, that's the truth. From my point of view, it takes talent to be so consistent the way that he is. It's surely abnormal, but artistic. :)

No matter how you hear it, you have a great day/night and thank you.

[turoniner]

@MarkDoesWork Plus the crowd is clearly not interested in singing along, he pushes that shit way too hard. Oh well, being a singer is hard!!

[smithmackay]

This song KICKS ASS!! DON"T HATE ON BRETT!!

[Friend171513]

has he lost a lot of weight?

[JJSwank100]

@Friend171513 YES he was like 400 pounds in his interview 2 years ago

[chocolateboy0115]

SHY RONNIE! lol but this guys seriously really good!

[gwinnaveir]

how many times i played this song in a row i have no clue! and then i went and learned to play it.... god i love brett dennon! and he was home schooled which i love!

[bugietube]

I wish Brett much success and hope he and keeps bringing these songs out of his heart for as long as that has purpose for him. I know I'm going to keep listening...

[LiberTBo]

@bugietube How many Brett Dennen and Matt Nathanson albums are in your collection? How about Dawes and Middle Brother, possibly Deer Tick? There is some great indie music zooming around the cosmos, the great thing is we can be cool and treat each other respectfully and share all this wonder, or argue. Step On man, glad to know you...

[scoundr3l]

@bugietube wish there were an easier way to put this, but it's comments like that which keep mainstream America away from this kind of music. People aren't shallow or stupid, they just don't have to put up with condescending hipsters at a Black Eyed Peas concert.

[Squall95138]

@bugietube WTF is this shit Supposed to mean? I agree he's good but you make him sound like jesus.

[VideoDocR]

guy or girl???!

[straydogg13]

@VideoDocR thats what im saying---reminds me of that movie i think its called "pat"

[VideoDocR]

@straydogg13 Yeah. I think he/she looks more kind of a 70's style.

[JWhitePhotography]

@VideoDocR HIS name is brett. When have you ever seen a girl that looks like he does?

[supermanben123]

great song

[damduck73]

sounds like a mixture of Bob Dylan and Tom Petty not a bad thing at all

[mattsides734]

Really interesting to watch, i have to imagine this is about the hardest thing for a musician to do is preform an upbeat band song solo to a stuffy uninterested crowed. Cool to see he really put some heart into it.

[LopsidedCircle]

looooveeee

[33ytram]

ginger's still got soul!
