The Rocket Summer - Colors

[EpiclyCourtney]

his smile is contagious.

[shelbypeifer]

genuine, honest, beautiful.. bryce and his music are a breathe of fresh air to the music industry. <3

[whoaitsgrace]

He has a great voice:) I love this song so much.



[getdown8990]

this song reminds me of when i fell in love with my husband cause around that time was when i realized this is the best song in the world and i listened to it like 40x a day (:

[savannahrama94]

He's so beautiful. :3

[superluigi92]

im a guy, rite a very technical and critical person

18yrs

and i can tell from this guy's whole charisma, he is as honest and modest as his lyrics suggest

i can admire and respect that

[souzaalbuquerque]

How coul I live all this time without know this guy??? Bryce Avary is awesome! This song is great! I'm from Brazil!

[jessRAWRmango]

2.04, god damnnnn. haha. i hadnt seen this video in aaaages! :3

[MaddyM38]

P.s. Look at the way he plays that piano!! Barely looking at it!! My hero for life.

[MaddyM38]

Holy hell!!! My favorite song of all time(:

[IGiorniDiJenny]

i love that girl in the back wearing the red dress.

[getcakeeatcakesmile]

@IGiorniDiJenny She is FUCKING HUGE.

[IGiorniDiJenny]

@getcakeeatcakesmile More to love, bro.

[UsagiShika]

@IGiorniDiJenny LMFAO....

[16kn]

Respect ^_^

[easyluckyfree91]

could anyone possibly be more adorable? i don't think so.

and this song is awesome.

bryce you rock!!

[mangos237]

Bryce is my role model. He writes and records every bit of his music, without autotune + completely editing everything. Plus he does in all with PASSION. :D

So glad he got #1 on iTunes.

[CABx3]

@mangos237 I agree! Artists' like this I respect sooo much

[Rush4Life70494]

that's hot :]

[kissmysass609]

their lyrics are so beautiful.

[YouXdontXevenXknow]

@kissmysass609 His .... The Rocket Summer is one guy, Bryce Avary.

[plinkification]

Nice lyrics :D Why don't they have more views :O:O

They should be a lot more popular

[ZagsElite]

"I can play all the instruments as well as Bryce, it's really not as hard as you think. Obviously, don't play any instruments, or you'd know this."

I could learn Hendrix in a day, does that make him a mediocre guitarist?

I was playing Bach and Mozart at the age of 8, does that make them subpar pianists?

[ZagsElite]

this guy isnt even composing for instrumental showmanship, and it wouldn't add anything to his music. you as a musician of all people should know that artists only display a small fraction of their technical ability in their songwriting.

sure some people may be overrating him, but he's good for what he does.

[JiggahBeezay]

damn, he's such an amazing singer! TRS=love<3

[7teC]

@eatpineapples1. It's easy to say you can play all those parts. Hell, most musicians can play eachother's songs etc. It's the fact that he actually created all those parts to go together. I'd like to see you try and write a song on par with Bryce's including lyrics. And since when did the difficulty of a song constitute as to whether it's a good song or not? Have you not seen how successful the Beatles were, and how easy most of their stuff is to play?

[Ultrahuntr]

seriously dude. how hard a song is to play doesnt determine how good it is.

[basicband]

Nice job.... I like this.

[guiitargirlx3]

this is my favorite song of all time, thanks to this video. just look at that emotion being poured into it.

[tink393bell]

:) is ohio considered the east coast?? probably not...oh but! i just started listening to the rocket summer (+.<)

he has a gorgeous voice...amazing lyrics too

[KewlestkidOround]

i got to play with him just recently! its sad how people dont alot about him on the eastcoast

[eatpineapples1]

No, it's sad how many people don't know about 311. Not this guy.

[Aknight292]

311 sucks hairy monkey butt

[eatpineapples1]

You suck hairy monkey dick you mormon faggot.

[Aknight292]

that doesnt really make sense. considering mormons arent gay at all. they do not support the gay community. so how could i be a mormon faggot? have you ever been in an actual conversation with a mormon? (without insulting them) and i'm glad you did enough research to realize that i'm from Utah. but you really are an Ignorant douche, who is not worth my time. thank you for showing me how retarded people, who dont know anything about mormons, can truly be. nice speaking with you douche bag

[eatpineapples1]

One of my best friends is Mormon actually. I wasn't calling Mormons gay, I was calling you a gay mormon.

You're ignorant for thinking 311 suck and for liking this guy.

[Aknight292]

so now you're insulting one of your best friends? wow your a good friend. considering he is mormon it is disrespectful to him also

and dictionary meaning for ignorant-1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.

2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.

3. uninformed; unaware.

4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

you cant even use the word ignorant properly. you lose.

[eatpineapples1]

I know what ignorant means.

You're ignorant for not listening to 311, because if you listened to them, you wouldn't think they sucked.

He is most definitely not even arguably the most talented musician in all of music.

Have you ever heard of Trey Anastasio? Flea? Kirk Hammet? Victor Wooton? Carter Buford? Joel Cummins? Even Jack White? Anyone from a real band?

I can play every instrument Avary plays just as well as he can, so does that put me in consideration for most talented musician by you?

[eatpineapples1]

Hahahaha, If you don't know who ANY of those people are, you REALLY have no say in anything about music.

You're saying that the guys from bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Dave Matthews Band, the White Stripes and Phish are "nobody's" ?????

Now I wouldn't expect you to know Joel Cummins from Umphrey's McGee, but come on, the rest are highly respected musicians from really popular bands.

You obviously know nothing about music, so you have NO argument.

You lose.

[eatpineapples1]

311 is good. And I'm not a stoner.

What do you listen to then? Fucking Owl City and Fall Out Boy?

Dude, you listen to Rocket Summer.

Let me say that again,

ROCKET. SUMMER.

Let it sink in.

You listen to shitty music.

[eatpineapples1]

Because when I hear about a band i haven't heard of, I look them up and listen to a few of their songs.

Phish is one of the best and most popular live bands ever.

And dude, yeah that doesn't really show you have a wide taste in music, you just listen to a wannabe Avenged Sevenfold and the most popular rapper out there today. That's two genres, and two of the most popular acts in their genre, so, I mean It shows you listen to what's on the radio and stuff like that.

[Aknight292]

i was going from one extreme to the other dude! meaning i was going from metalcore to rap, thats all i was doing, not picking two genres specifically, i could have picked someone from country and rap. but that was the first band that came to my head that was fairly opposite of Eminem. oh ya Bullet is a wannabe Avenged Sevenfold. considering that BFMV has been around longer the A.S. has been, i highly doubt that. i dont ever listen to the radio though.......last time i did was like 3 months ago

[Aknight292]

and just for you i'm going to list most of the bands i listen to. just too make you feel better about knowing and dissing what i listen too.

[eatpineapples1]

that would make me feel better, and those really aren't extreme opposites, which was trying to get at, they both are angry-ish (not all of eminem's songs) but yeah bring it on

[Aknight292]

i'm saying i was just talking about Genre (rap-metalcore) which arent much alike at all, occasionally the context of lyrics may be similar. but the actually sound is nothing alike.

[eatpineapples1]

Yeah I know what you mean, but the selection of specifically Bullet for my Valentine and Eminem doesn't really show that much depth, if you know what I mean, because almost everyone knows or has heard of both of them, and I think hardly anyone listens to only, and only one specific genre.

[eatpineapples1]

okay so what do you mostly listen to then?

[chickenhippobutt]

@eatpineapples1 Do you have something against TRS? You already commented on another video of his. I think you've made your point; The Rocket Summer sucks and everyone that listens to him has bad taste in music. Is that about right?

[eatpineapples1]

Nope. and Nope. Just Aknight292. I'm gonna assume that you listen to good stuff, so we don't get into an argument.

[JDruRC4]

i'm sorry eatpineapple, unless you post video proof, im calling your bluff on playing all instruments as well as Bryce Avary. I'd love to watch you play this song or his song "I was so alone" on the piano. Or for you to successfully play the song "hey!" he does live where he plays every instrument in a row with a recording loop.

and stop praising 311 so much, they're nothing special, & jack white is terrible.

oh, and stop watching videos of bands you don't like.

stupid attention whore.

[eatpineapples1]

Dude, do you really want to get me started again?

Any average drummer, piano or guitar player could play the parts in his songs. The song "I was so alone" would be easy as shit on piano.

I can play all the instruments as well as Bryce, it's really not as hard as you think. Obviously, don't play any instruments, or you'd know this.

Oh yeah sure good point about Jack White. He plays all the instruments Bryce Avary does, but is WAY better at ALL of them, and has a better voice too.

[Wafflecakes007]

@eatpineapples1 dude, go play all the instruments and stop arguing on youtube then.

[eatpineapples1]

What the fuck, dude, JDruRC4 started the argument. I don't have to play music 24/7. Why don't you stop watching youtube videos and go back to Waffle House? I mean, come on, seriously?

[JDruRC4]

actually you started the argument by thinking you're actually as good as a professional musician at all instruments he plays. really? once again, you have no valid point til you give video proof. you're just another douche that talks way more shit than he can back up. mainly cause you know you can't back up anything you say. just a little bitch going around dissing on music you don't like. jack white is so boring and one-sided with all things he does, he has no creativity. now go suck-off 311.

[eatpineapples1]

"Professional musician" is a VERY general term. There are tons of musicians in very popular bands who are untalented or below average at best musicians

I've gotten paid for playing music before, do I count?

You obviously know nothing about Jack White. He sings, plays guitar and piano in the White Stripes and Raconteurs, and plays drums in the Dead Weather.

And I'm not a huge Jack White fan or anything, just saying.

I can back it up dude, come to where I live, ask someone who's heard me.

[JDruRC4]

I actually knew all that about Jack White, who doesn't? Doesn't make me feel any differently about him.

And just getting paid to do music doesn't make you a professional. It's embracing it as a lifestyle. Only playing music, and that's it.

You keep fighting the fight on a completely subjective topic. That's why everyone thinks you're a douche. There's no real argument when it's a matter of opinions, yet you still always try to start one.

Good job, I'm sure you're proud.

[JDruRC4]

to add to the other reply i made... half the artists you mentioned earlier wouldn't be able to play ALL the instruments Bryce does, as good as he does. They would even praise his ability if they saw him play.

also, i've been a drummer for 14yrs, i know how hard it is to play various instruments even a little good.. Bryce surpasses "a little good" with everything he does.

also let me say again, Jack White's ability isn't even close to someone with real musical talent.

[eatpineapples1]

I'm calling BS on you playing the drums for 14 years.

You can't back that up.

Are you kidding?

Most if not all of those musicians can probably play all the instruments as well as Bryce. Once you get really good at one instrument, other instruments come much easier. I know. I took piano lessons, then learned the bass, guitar, drums, mandolin, and harmonica on my own. When you're job is to play music, you'll end up playing bandmates' stuff and learning it.

Bryce is average at everything. Period.

[kidzrule2]

@eatpineapples1

i'd like to see you do better kid.

[eatpineapples1]

Alright if you've been playing music for 14 years, you'd know that playing the stuff Bryce plays is not that hard. Unless you really suck.

Or I guess I'm just way more talented than you are. Actually, I'm pretty sure that IS the reason we think this way. I guess to me, doing what Bryce does is easy, but to you, who isn't as good as I am, it seems like it's really difficult.

Oh yeah read the other reply to this comment too.

[JDruRC4]

So, that means you think you're better than Jack White? Since Jack White's ability is inferior to that of Bryce's. Ya, you live that dream of being better than everyone and having an opinion that is always fact, keep arguing over the subjective topic we have here. You do know what subjective means, right? Of course you do, I'm sure you're smarter than everyone too. So, you're a talented musician, why aren't you making big money on stage? Probably cause you're TOO smart & TOO talented, I see.

[dahicaro15]
