Freelance Whales - Generator ^ Second Floor

[uglyteeto]

This song is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry.

[RHMGubloid]

gotta love a band with a xylophone

[hobbitandwife]

Who is Darren?

[sarahjoy25selenafan]

Darren told me to(: thumbs up if this is the reason you watched(:

[MsGabiiis]

SKINS BRING ME HERE

[whereismylife]

was that supposed to be some sacrifice of a virgin to have things come to fruition? why the fuck are music videos so damn ambiguous these days. why?!

[whereismylife]

why does every good indie song have some creepy ass devil looking ritual video these days?

[liverpool0690]

@whereismylife wow i never noticed that till now

[shemhazai485]

@whereismylife

why does it matter

[katkm9]

My favorite Freelance Whales song. Please make more music soon, you guys are amazing. <3

[KraziiIsMe]

I'm here because Darren suggested it. Does that decrease the worth of the song/video/band? Absolutely not.

[Bubzie96]

Look, I'll admit I started listening to Freelance Whales because of Darren, but now I love them, and I don't think it matters where you came from. Just enjoy the fucking music!

[luvcookies1]

Laika's video made more sense than this one..

[maxrudify]

why dont these guys make more stuff??

[abcdefgeezify]

Don't fix my smile, life is long enough - we will put this flesh into the ground again.

[PeanutBlarg]

I came here because I actually like this band and not because of whoever a members brother is or Glee. Thanks.

[randomlyfresh23]

@PeanutBlarg

Omgizzle, HipsterKitty!

We're so sorry for upsetting you.

[KurtC158]

Eskimo mariachis!

[JustinBandVFC]

THIS IS SO AMAZING. <3

[hitori5gjv]

He has a name, it's not "Darren's Brother."

This band has a name, it's not "Darren's Brother's Band."

And Chuck is not the only member in it.

So stop arguing about the Criss brothers and just watch and enjoy the music quietly.

I'm a fan of both of them, but gosh... they're two different people! Don't just put it all on Darren, saying it's "Darren's(insert whatever here)."

[aish340]

When I grow up, I'm going to play the watering can!

[SomePandaPSN]

Mountain Dew Back to the Boroughs teaser lol

[FoxyKittyDemon92]

I kind of want this song to be played at my own funeral. Although i'm seventeen and I shouldn't be thinking about death, I think this song should be played at my funeral. It's.. just so fantastic.

[scenicsunshine]

I'm so madly in love with this song.

It's brilliant.

[oObadphishOo]

1. I dislike when top comments are replys. maybe its just me but im tired of looking up a comment from months before only to be slightly disapointed.

2. Did any body think of nugs when they saw the beginning of this video?

3. This song is really good. In a time where music has lost touch I want to thank Freelance Whales for giving me hope. Dont let anyone tell you different, you guys are awesome!

[dumbell111]

@oObadphishOo i know because it takes me like 10 mins just to find that comment and then its something retared

[Lauraa4023]

It's awesome that people want to support Chuck and his band as well as Darren, but you don't have to have an argument about him here!

[oneninja8]

This is such a cool song, and SUCH a cool video!! I love it!!!

[rdbowen47]

lol 4:24 random moosesssss



[liamlover77]

great song. mr and mrs criss must be the most awesome people ever to have such awesome, talented chidren :) i want to find and personally thank them.

[meganashleen4]

This song is amazing. One of the best I've heard.

[meerkatgiirl]

My best friend recently passed away, and this was the last song we listened to together.

[adamlambert96]

I watched the first 50 Seconds of this video and went so that's where Darran gets it from...

[adamlambert96]

@adamlambert96 Darren**

[TheWayToTheDawn]

Why do people come here to talk about Darren? He is not in this band, so leave the Darren/GLEE idiocy off the comments and let's talk about a seriously phenomenal band.

[beckydann124]

@TheWayToTheDawn its cause darren's bro is in this band but yeah i agree its so stupid everyone arguing, they should just appreciate good music

[spazz336]

awesome song!



[esticoh1107]

skins ! ♥

[TheTechnoTurtle]

Love the Phineas and Ferb preview ad.

[FindingVickie]

@ohaimarcy , people who discovered this band because of a certain band member's relative have a right to enjoy them like the rest of us. Good music should be appreciated.

[ohaimarcy]

ew anyone and everyone who came here just because they found out one of these guys is related to someone from glee needs to leave.

[AnnabelLloyd]

@ohaimarcy I came here because the 'guy from Glee' who is also from Starkid, not just Glee, supports his brother by telling people to listen to Freelance Whales in every interview he does..

[tatortotgrl]

@AnnabelLloyd Oh yeah, they totally support each other. On twitter and in videos they spread the word about each other. They are just plain awesome! I have crazy respect for them!

[mizzmb1608]

@AnnabelLloyd word

[Fe4rLo4the]

@AnnabelLloyd Fuck Glee! I came here because of skins, WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY BETTER SHOW! Love those British girls! Whoooooo!

[Random0Chick0731]

I love this song so much. Best funeral song ever.

[GentlemannGibls]

This song makes me think of Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Fred had a creepy smile.

[lorenalovesblue]

i saw the tiny dark haired guy buying a burger at a concert, wasnt sure if it was him or else i would have tackled him for an autograph. :D

[SofieOdgaard1]

love his voice <3

[youarestupidxxx]

My life as liz!

[haprochelle]

beautiful song about death. love it.

[harrisonnantz]

[XxherbestnightmarexX]

THEY HAVE THE SAME EYEBROWS NFpubnrpubg&^gd&xgghk*&parsuib­gpuiras438h834h*(&(&TY&wef

[iLost815]

battlemedic345 and yet its about death. just listen to the words. not to say that it isnt happy

[TheVideoVector]

This song mind fucked me so hard my ear hurt for 3 days after first time I listened to it. 9,9

[infinitedork24]

this is perfection.

[TheUltimatesonicfan1]

@FULLGROWNNIGGA You are a disgrace! This is exactly why i dont like black ppl.. And im black as well mind you.. Gucci mane. The hell.. Its music like that get ur black ghettos asses into negative shit, jail, drugs, death!.. One of you are always getting shot. Or killing someone.. its like. Man. Ppl like you give a bad name to all African Americans everywhere. Gtfo.

[TheTennantfan]

@FULLGROWNNIGGA ??????? americans are weird

[TheVideoVector]

@TheTennantfan lulz.

[TheTennantfan]

@TheVideoVector yea, you are

[TheVideoVector]

@TheTennantfan i am what?



[TheVideoVector]

@TheTennantfan ohh lulz...yea yea sorry old comment lol.

[TheTennantfan]

@TheVideoVector :)

[trueidahogangsta]

@FULLGROWNNIGGA

what are you a chef now? theres that huge chance that we live in different states and will never run into one another.

plus your favored music is your choice and your opinion. i cant change the way you think, so if you truly love gucci mane, than so be it. im not like a missionary, i dont care if you convert to indie/folk. Just dont go onto other pages and start talkin shit about songs that us CRACKAs enjoy.

[TheUltimatesonicfan1]

@trueidahogangsta Correction. And us "NIGGAS"..

[trueidahogangsta]

Pandora keeps telling me certain artists sound like Freelance Whales. I think there's a problem with their system, because no one sounds like Freelance Whales.

no one can sound as great, and no other artist makes me as happy as these guys:)

[trueidahogangsta]

@FULLGROWNNIGGA fuck Gucci mane and listen to real music :)

[grungebeatsall]

wait they tied her down and were wearing masks did they rape her

[alyssaxboom]

positively amazing.

[mirageofpants]

can I marry them all??

[marieburton12345]

great song..lovelovelove

[andreashannonyoung]

Just saw them live in concert in Brooklyn, NY....they were amazing. Couldn't love them anymore!!

[panicattthedisco]

I heard this song in an episode of Skins, and now I'm in love.

[tristanalexander27]

who are these guys? ive never really heard of them b4,,.......

[JasonWolfeFL]

Just Kidding, lol

[JasonWolfeFL]

Freelance whales are being compared to Owl City now? ahahahahaha That's what you get for selling out i guess.

[ShanWallas]

@JasonWolfeFL This sounds like Owl City, except I actually like it. =] And the song titles don't sound like they were picked out by a 5 year-old.

[Kerenl123]

love this video, and love this song :)

[xoMusicLIFExo]

Don't fix my smile, life is long enough

We will put this flesh into the ground again.

<3

[SunflowerRu]

I starred in this video

...

as the moose.

<3

[xoMusicLIFExo]

@SunflowerRu This is me starring

In a stranger's nightmare.

[russianspai]

The trees remind me of broccoli.

[girguy101]

Fucking ads.

[D3K1N9]

i love real music not a strong beat with the words party drink and drinking over and over again.

[WellThatSucks96]

SUMMER TUUUNNNEEE :D

[pinkoak157]

what a beautiful song.

[arif019]

2 people were looking for Justin Bieber, instead found some unwanted talent.

[MrDeusebio]

@ChillAsChili Maybe it's just my ear

[MrDeusebio]

I was enjoying the song till I realize the lead singer wasn't a girl.

[melneedsherspace]

How have I not seen this sooner? This is my favorite song! Such an amazing video.

[GoodModeSC]

Friendly Whales?

[WolfWarriorLykos]

lol, owl city

[isitErick]

@WolfWarriorLykos This doesn't sound like Owl City at all... Adam Young doesn't incorporate any acoustic instruments, but rather relies on synth to create music. if you want stuff that sounds more like Owl City, you're looking for The Postal Service or Plushgun.

[TriggerDeadly]

@isitErick ......did you just compare owl city to the postal service....

[isitErick]

@TriggerDeadly I'm just saying that The Postal Service sounds a lot more like Owl City than this. That and that Owl City is somewhat of a more overly pop rip-off of TPS.

[TheUltimatesonicfan1]

@isitErick Actually alot of his songs use acoustic instruments. FAIL :P

[isitErick]

@TheUltimatesonicfan1

I can name a few, but that isn't the point. The synth is the main instrument in his songs, whereas the acoustic guitar is a backing instrument in only a few of his songs

[TheUltimatesonicfan1]

@isitErick And? No need to compare every band is different, i personally love both. And please dont say Owl City isn't a band technically. I know. But calling him a one man band is kind of laborous. Just saying XP

[CHARLOTTEadnams]

They have come soo far. Big fan! So proud! :)

[andybisme]

Spooky masks, great song :-)

[tangy1570]

This is great. They sound a lot like The Format!

[matthewwonderly]

I HATE ADS!

[desireablegrl]

holey eff! this is amazing

[yourmomeatstomatos]

this band makes me so happy

[KateAndOrKatie]

I'm gonna assume the title of this song is pronounced "generator *to the* second floor"...? Anyway, love the song~lyrics, sound, odd little video; all of it :) -Katie

[NinjasxPwn]

Love, love, love. <3

[AwesomeA1010]

this song is kitsch

[Saiskar]

I love how Freelance Whales completely reinvented the banjo.

[ghbetterthanrb648]

@Saiskar Mumford & Sons did

[IAmTheSwordmaster]

@ghbetterthanrb648 Umm... clearly DeYarmond Edison did... ;) We could play this all day. haha

[Ggirder1]

@ghbetterthanrb648 Sufjan Stevens came before Mumford

[EmilayBemilayDisaray]

Two people have lost their ears and need to find them to hear this song.

[MrChristian778]

oh my god i just found out about this band i love them with my life o.o

[chommy]

This epic tune = 11,436 Views.

Rebecca Black Fail - 60million odd views ???

People need there fucking heads checked man.

[MercadoEduardo]

@chommy views doesn't always

equal likes

[boblitts]

Guess who has two thumbs and couldn't give a shit whether Darren is Chuck's brother or not, they just know the band is amazing?!? This guy!!

[destinylilah]

the trees look like broccoli

[starkidislife]

My question is what type of BA parents could produce two kids with such talent! the criss' rock!

[angelgirl1992]

@starkidislife Both of those men need to reproduce at some point. We need more their collective talent/awesome for the next generation.

[tatortotgrl]

@angelgirl1992 Agreed. And preferably with me! :)

[I8RICKROLLERS]

@starkidislife but all the glee actors suck

[starkidislife]

@I8RICKROLLERS Except for Darren.

Actually, I really don't think they suck at all. But Darren's level of suck is like a negative.

[I8RICKROLLERS]

@starkidislife dude it all sucks btw i make fun of my bro all the time his name is finn lol. but i only like first floor hahahahaha finn *tenftmidget's voice*

[starkidislife]

@I8RICKROLLERS I don't care if you like glee or not, I'm not a big fan myself, but Darren, his original songs+starkid= awesome. Of course Chuck and freelance whales are also awesome. So there's no suckishness here.

[eli12196]

This song should have more views

[eli12196]

THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[jemibloodlust]

They need more songs. i love this

[Andrameda7]

Of course Darren's brother Chuck would wear the mask with the pink around the eyes xD

[lzman555]

Love.

[WorldWideFail]

never bother to ruin someones happiness with your own beliefs

if some one is happy with their way.

then leave it at that <3

[Seanalexnutt]

Freelance Whales make me happy

[jmill292]

i didn't know harry potter had a brother. this is awesome.

[thenameiskenzie]

@jmill292 thank you for referring to darren criss as harry potter. we need more people like you in this world.

[08anthonyt]

the song is about death.

[eli12196]

@08anthonyt never realized that

[battlemedic345]

This song is happiness.

[amazingonion]

@battlemedic345 haha the lyrics make it sound like it's about death.

[TheVideoVector]

@amazingonion They're (at least I believe) about a man dieing, and telling his family to leave him die-- he doesn't want to be a burden to them. Hes telling them to just live their lives-- he has lived his-- now just bury him. Let him rest in peace, as they should also. 

[infinitedork24]

@amazingonion i kind of got that idea too. I love this song so much and the fact that there's actually meaning behind it makes me never want to go back to mindless top 40 songs ever again. (:

[69SHOOTINGSTAR]

@battlemedic345 im lovin it :')

[Nokadee]

@paulhasadragon I won't acquiesce to your stupid demand of me killing myself just because of your lack of taste. Grow up.

[BeatlesWooHoo]

Great song.

Also, the banjo player looks like Ben Goldwasser.

[kenichiito]

@paulhasadragon it was on UK skins which doesn't suck. Not US skins. Two of Freelance Whales' songs were on UK skins this series.

[eli12196]

@kenichiito what songs

[kenichiito]

@eli12196 This song in series 5, episode 1 ("Franky"), and "Location," also in series 5, episode 4 ("Liv").

[Smalls]

i fucking hate vevo

[tatortotgrl]

Can't believe that's darren criss's brother! AWESOME! Big fan of both.

[cocopuff4567]

@tatortotgrl Omg are you sure?!

[tatortotgrl]

@cocopuff4567 Yep, Chuck Criss is Darren Crisses brother, check out Darrens twitter he talks about him on there. They are both so talented, and according to Darren, at one point he played the drums for Freelance Whales.

[eli12196]

@tatortotgrl who played the drums chuck or darren

[darrencrissisHOT]

@eli12196 darrens not in the band theyre just brothers :)

[tatortotgrl]

@eli12196 Darren played the drums for a short while, when he was still in the band, it was only for a very short time before the band was popular.

[applefieldd]

@tatortotgrl such a creative family

[tatortotgrl]

@applefieldd I definately agree, they should team up and do something together. That would be amazing!

[Nintenemon]

@tatortotgrl Is he the lead singer or the guy at 2:51 ?

[tatortotgrl]

@Nintenemon He's the one with the pink mask at 2:51, which is hilarious to me because of darren and his obsession with his pink sunglasses.

[tatortotgrl]

@Nintenemon the guy at 2:53 with the pink mask

[NikeSB184]

I fell in love..

[instant991]

Great song, deserves a better music video.

[Nokadee]

Was on Skins! :D

[paulhasadragon]

@Nokadee Kill yourself, that show sucks.

[Celtic8482]

I am in love with Nicole Mourelatos

[OceanAcross]

i do not understnad why this is not on the top 40s.

this is amazing. :D

[lzman555]

i know that I'll listen to this song again and again and again.
