Weakerthans - Gifts (Propaghandi)

[s4wy3rsguitars]

Who's that lonely fucker who keeps disliking all the videos of "Gifts"?

[SongToFanFlames]

awesome voice

[SongToFanFlames]

capacity!

[anotheradict]

i actually like this, of course its far off from the original but a great adaptation.

[cashewsoul]

@anotheradict He wrote this song. How could he possibly adapt it?

[shananiganxo]

i liked this version alot

[bakednfried]

i dunno about their version

but i love this song

[codenamedav]

wow - so good. props is still the best fat records band. i hope they get more credit and more famous someday.

[tttooommm111222333]

yeah maybe when they're all dead and it's all outdated they will get the recognition they deserve, at which point it will mean absolutely nothing.

[505alex505]

they are good but they are Gay

[gdrugg2006]

John's married.

Even if they were, what does it matter? Get the fuck off my internet.

[leftovercrack13]

[leftovercrack13]

@Pugnacio

Choky V, Morning G LOC WE NEVA STOP. But Your death will be sweet if you wanna be a cop.

[WittedBastard]

Rips regardless. But still love Propaghandi better.

[robjg23]

WOW! just amazing! can you even imagine writing songs so complex with seemingly no effort.

[joshsowords]

Would be great to see the original Propaghandi get back to together and tour Canada so I could finally sastify the last hunger pains of my youthful idealism.

[EvanJudd]

I just happened to be in London for this show... very lucky since they never play the southern U.S.

[dtrom4]

Me too. I'm from Ohio, and I was staying just two days in London, and I was lucky enough to see them. Fantastic show.

[boogada]

This is great, it just made my day.

[b20apache]

oops, i just noticed this isn't propaghandi, oh well it's still a good band. haha i listen to another version of this song all the time but its on a random burnt cd i found in my car...my music hunt continues...

[b20apache]

I haven't listened to Propaghandi in years...they sound soooo much different now...i like it.

[79nine]

goosebumps through an entire song...hard to accomplish...

[nufan3303]

John played this song when i saw them in Philly a year ago...I had goosebumps on the first chord. The "capacity" part was unforgettable.

[aquamammal]

This is the Weakerthans, not Propagandhi. They singer is Prop's old bassist, the band his new one. They are still Vegetarian.

Peace.

[chearn73]

I don't care what anyone wants to label it is...I think John K. is amazing...the weakerthans are amazing...just a good band...whatever genre they are.

[harmonicsilence]

To all the idiot punx saying "THIS AINT PUNK, DAHHHH" HE wrote the fucking song for Propagandhi, he played the fucking bassline originally, and therefore he has played this song punk as hell. Therefore he reserves the right to play it however the hell he wants. Just proves you punks don't give a shit about half of music, the fucking songwriting. And for the record the lyrics to this song are amazing. Rock on JKS.

[Freddy742]

exactly

[iangoescrunch]

I remember reading somewhere that he took 80k for his rights to the prop songs...but then again they recorded anchorless...it could use some drums and strums for sure =)

[Ebonynights]

I need this version. Does anyone have a recording by any chance?

[mjd612]

you can get the audio by converting the flash file to mp3 at vixy (dot) net

[termoose]

this is amazing, hope they put it on their new album

[Phukedcunt]

The album version is far better - this ain't punk !!!

[greatbigcanadiana]

it's punk as fuck.

[gomandrews]

originally writen for propagandhi's less talk more rock. wich JKS was in.

[shelby1234veggie]

does anyone know where i could find this version or Gifts? the faster version doesnt tickle my pickle..:)

i love this song, so beautiful.

[nouseforaname30]

Wasn't at this show, but John played it in Philly last year...without a doubt the greatest song I've ever heard live

[rh7rh7rh7]

Yes! I've been looking for this song forever! It was amazing when John played it last summer.

[xVirtuteX]

Man, that entire gig was one of the happiest moments of my life with a gorgeous soundtrack

[Zarellamitzett]

I didn't know this song... Thank you for uploading!

[tanknillo]

wow that was sweet, i hadnt heard that song played that way. Man the internet is cool.

[starsheart]

great video thanks for uploading! :)

[Onetinsoldier]

Awesome, thanks!

[jr20lax]

always wondered why they didn't rerelease it, beautiful

[phukovsky]

because he recorded this song while with Propagandhi. You can find that much faster version on thier album "Less Talk More RocK". put out on G-7 Welcoming Commitee.

[jr20lax]

i know, but so is "anchorless", to me gifts almways felt like more if a weakerthans song

[pianoomg]

Thanks for this pearl of rockmusic!
