The Format: Swans (live)

[fullerd95]

found this song from watching the movie moving mcallister

[lewidogg11]

This is such an amazing "Jimmy Jam"

[seanmorgancr7]

This song is gold! I heard it years ago and I was so excited for a new album and then they announced the format was finished ;( ;( ;(

[xXxSuperCupcakexXx]

*sigh* why couldn't this be on an album so I could buy it? :(

[DylanNes]

@xXxSuperCupcakexXx Just download it..

[ShallowImpressions]

check out my cover of this! i love this song.

[iamasecretnerd]

Sounds like the lead singer for fun.

[NiniBunny15]

@iamasecretnerd It's the same guy.

[Caitlin232323]

@iamasecretnerd YOU A GOD DAMN RETARD FAKE ASS FAN FOR NOT KNOWING THAT THAT SHIT IS THE SAME DUDE.

[iamasecretnerd]

@Caitlin232323 FAKE AND GAY.

[emycoke1]

@iamasecretnerd it is:)

[wehaveamap]

3 people are as ugly as they think they are.

[drissiboy11]

His voice is equally as amazing in his newer band 'Fun'.....Soooo good.

[tabita9956]

How come this video doesn't have 1million+ views >.<!

[tabita9956]

This song is so relaxing ;)

[namimi1412]

This is probably my favourite The Format song.. it has everything and goddamn Nate's voice is incredibly awesome! *-*

[bombthrower77]

Not bad for American shoegazing.

[DkntyTV]

@bombthrower77 how is this shoegazing? its acoustic lol

[soaringyak]

HE IS SO GOOD. 

[hstg98]

So much talent between the 2 of them!! I love this song- the lyrics, the music, the vocals, everything!! This one got me hooked on both of them for life!! Amazing!!

[cu113nd3an]

Not as good as live at Mayan... :c But still awsome :P

[rockgirl236]

amazing voice. so intense

[jihadpizza]

i can tell that Nate got mad right there at the end.. dont blame him.

[yousukcheese]

@jihadpizza why did he get angry?

[CoffeeBeatsTea]

when i first heard this song i thought it was a woman singing. man or woman, great voice!

[scamh8ter]

[pikuL10x]

so uplifting

[dallingonzales]

no man can make me cry, save these two.

[midligh3]

Best song ever.

[TheTaylorDanielle95]

Beautiful. :)

[indiepunkkid]

they need to release the studio version!!!!!!!!!!! an amazing song going to waste not on my mp3 player.

[mmanin91]

@indiepunkkid i have an mp3

[sjohns111]

@mmanin91 is there anyway you could send me the MP3. my friend committed suicide Friday night. and this was the song she wanted played at her funeral. it would mean the world to me and her family.

[tsackrider]

One of my all time faves- Wish they were still together :(

[CodyDylanSewell]

I just learned to play this song! I love Nate's voice. I am trying to sound like him

[CrapWhatsThat]

I agree woodia

[Woodla1987]

what a beeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful song!!!! every time when i listen to i have tears in my eyes

[dreamwildly]

Such a beautiful song..... just beautiful.

[motley14u]

I just downloaded this song from limewire pro on 12/16/09 in mp3 format. It's there and the quality is very good. Song is awesome... live and recorded, thanks for posting

[jrmcanine]

Achilles007....I purchased it last week from ITunes for my IPOD after hearing it on Moving McAlliter too. I think it was like $1.50 or so.

[betteroffinmyhead]

tears to my eyes EVERY time

[shelbeenie88]

@betteroffinmyhead me too

[dwinn13]

I like the format but they are definitely NOT my favorite band. BUT i've probably watched this video 100 times and I wouldn't be surprise if i watch it another 100. Amazing performance.

[Achilles007]

I remember this song from "Moving Mcallister," in fact im watching it right now and 20 mins away from the ending/song. Can someone tell me how to find this song? I've looked through every sites out there and I can't find it. Even torrents don't have it. They don't even have a soundtrack... Please helppppp me find the song to download.

[barker4bluoct1]

oh and yeah, he's kinda 'beautiful' too lol :)

[barker4bluoct1]

this is a beautiful song...i love it :)

[samuelcallahan]

it has been recorded, its featured in the movie "Moving McCallister" ive tryed everything to find this version, no luck :(

[tec2012]

i love this song. but i hate that it reminds me of one of me ex-girlfriends, with whom i think i still like.. crap

[calley932]

Ah they're so amazing.

[heylookitsmatty]

its a shame they broke up.

[hasun3]

he is the lead singer of the band fun ....look up fun walking the dog

[BrittleMoonShine]

psh walking the dog is fun's worst song try looking up the gambler or at least im not as sad (as i used to be)

[hasun3]

i didnt say it was there best song i was using an example

[BrittleMoonShine]

yeah i know im just saying you could give a better example

[hasun3]

it doesnt matter i was replying to sum1 else

[kyokitty4]

I'm a girl and all, but god I would LOVE a voice like his...I could listen to this all day long.

[DonGooked]

@kyokitty4 he is awsome.. i think i jus feel in love wit u lol

[dannytucci]

This song is amazing and they're so good live, and Nate fun. is awesome!

[yoursupercool1]

i love fun.

:D

[timgotta]

the singer has the same haircut as my mom

[chichick99]

but is that really an actual haircut? it seems more like the lack of one...

[aznfatboii]

what genre of music is this? not insulting or anything just curious

[repillmatic]

rock/indie/pop

[chickenmonger]

God, I really wanted fun. to put this on their album in some way or another. Hey, they did it with Benson Hedges, and this song is at least as awesome as that one. B-side anyone? Maybe on the next album? Please?

[TooTiredProductions]

I was hoping the same thing. But The Format kindof released the song AS a THE FORMAT song. like its on a DVD they sold and theyre selling it as a music video on the THE FORMAT section on iTunes. So by now it'd be like them trying to push "She Doesn't Get It" as a fun. song.

I really wish they would record it and release it also. But i dont think fun. will. hopefully THE FORMAT will someday.

[lilgayme101]

damn it i love this song. best part of the movie :D :D

[soniajunk]

this is my absolute favorite song by them, AND I CANT GET IT ANYWHERE!

>.> the humanity.

[TooTiredProductions]

its on their iTunes, as a music video.

it hasnt been recorded. only in concert :(

[diegandre]

I'm pretty sure this song was recorded. It was just not released! it's sad because it's a really good song, don't you think?

[bigstereo]

This "Jimmy-Jam"? Wtf?

[deadboltman]

*sigh* i love this song.

[christo1515]

This song is awesome and I cannot stop listening to it!

[rossevil]

Someone might try to get ahold of the person that did the audio for the movie and see about releasing the song. I love this song so much.

[PokemonTrainer83]

what movie is this song from?

[quasirachel]

Moving McCallister I think it's called. I watched it, but really this song was the best part of the movie. Have you seen it?

[PokemonTrainer83]

no, i haven't, thats why i asked. i will.

thanks :D

[ibrahiimo]

Sure !! the bes part of the movie , the last part I think ! Awsome !

[PokemonTrainer83]

i looooooooooooooove his voice!

[letsmakeacd5]

Where can u find this song

[WHACAFAN]

you can't

[ultrapimp]

like seriously, you can't lol

[MistuhCoolio]

no, seriously.... you can't

[letsmakeacd5]

[MistuhCoolio]

nothin haha

[stillmakinitinlife93]

omg this is like one of my favorite songs!

haha but the guitarist looks like seth rogen xD

[PokemonTrainer83]

lol, yeah, he does a little. haha

[drugadecal]

this song is my favourite song ever, along with "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd and "Rotten Apple" by Alice in Chains... yup, that's my top 3 :->

[derek0660]

sam is the one who is musically learned, writing all the complex chord progressions and such.

nate is the emotional one who turns a simple and brilliant part into something amazing with mindblowing lyrics and a sweet voice.

i got this shit figured out.

[missygoldfish]

Ahhah Nates hair tuft.... sooo cute

but his voice... soooohooooo beautiful and incredible.

I totally fell in love with him first time I saw this... <3

[Luluxgx]

I lovet his song and the movie~<333

:]]]

[blagaz]

i'm still have to wait for a few minutes...to finish download this song...haha... jealous??

[soulcentral33]

this song made the good ending of moving mcallister

[soulcentral33]

i meant added to LoL

[adzik26]

OMG !! what a voise! gr8... Jesus rly gr8 voise and sound!

[azkz1]

i looked for the moving mcallister record and i couldn't find it on itunes...so if anyone finds it contact me! this song is amazing and i really hope they will someday make a new record because they ahve so much potential..but for now i guess their done and this is their last song : (

[323Farror]

very well executed, as the others i wish there was a studio version though.

[bookswise]

They recorded it especially for Moving McAllister, so its on the movies sound track CD

[cheatmaster123]

LIVE YEAH... if you think about it if this says live shouldnt every video on youtube because at one point yes it was live. EVERY THING WAS.

[samastarr]

Ah, that voice...

[leslie1929]

Hey Darkzero245 if you find the one from the movie can you let me know where to get it?

TY

[ironman9]

good until he kicks and screams about swams....loud and irratating

[ahschica33]

is one of their songs?? i love it!

whats the whole jimi jam at the beginning?

[Ajiyana]

great voice.

[searenee]

It would be an absolute crime not to put this song on an album. By far their best work in my opinion.

Either way I can't wait for Fun's album.

[DarkZero245]

The one in Moving McAllister is SO MUCH BETTER! I WANT THAT ONE! :(

[bumpin8er]

do you know where you can find that version? i've been looking all over for it.

[iPandaness]

i have too! i saw that movie a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with this song.

i can't find it anywhere, though.

D:

it's not on any of their albums (from what i've seen, anyways).

[bettylou4444]

i love this jimijam! hehe i love nate!

[evenstarsbreak2]

love it.

[xanderross]

She's simply perfect; the best song i ever heard. I heard this song in moving mcallister (i love this movie ans Mila)

[IndianRiverAFJROTC]

I heard this song in moving mcallister

[dance689]

hey me too

[Starsxboulevards]

I adoreee this song. <3

It makes me accept that I'm not perfect with contentment.

No, we're not swans

Nor are we as ugly as we think we are.

We don't take to compliments but please don't stop.

[biglefty14]

hey thanx a lot.. i tell you what.. this is a sweet song.. Moving McAllister is thirty times better w/ this song at the end

[carpexdiemx27]

i need this video. does anyone know how i can get it?

[biglefty14]

say.. does anyone know where i could get the lyrics of this song?

[bookswise]

google

[bookswise]

does he sound like a black chick? or is it jsut me?

[The2ndComingOfCADY2J]

I kinda thought that a little bit while watching the movie cause I didn't know The Format performed it

[The2ndComingOfCADY2J]

what program or website did you use cause everytime i type in "rip audio clip off video" a bunch of nothingness comes up... or can you just send me the clip you ripped

[letitride92885]

download the new realplayer and you can rip any video you want.

[Daniel0889]

This has a studio version! The one thats in the movie "Moving McAllister" Is the original one!

[jammypango]

[The2ndComingOfCADY2J]

[adambro518]

Does anyone know where I can get the studio version of this?

[heartygirl55yahoo]

[sylvanloc]

does anyone know anything more about nates solo carreer? is there a website yet? or any news on when his album comes out?

[swallowtailsland]

I never got to see them live before they quit...I want to badly..

[wishwhisperwonder]

I saw em once....amazing, truly, but once just isn't enough I hope they get back together I miss them.

[inshallah09]

i honestly miss these guys.

it's so upsetting that they decided to call it quits.

<3

[terribletailer]

this song is amazingg <3

[nickeroskong]

its unfortunately not on limewire, i downloaded it just for this song but it turns out limewire sucks a lot and i deleted it.

[january88]

i REALLY want this song does anyone know where i can get it

[kari7385]

its on limewire!

[kari7385]

ME TOO!!!

Everyone wants this song. When can we start hearing it on the radio...?

[jenyouwhine]

I doubt the Format would be on the radio, every radio station where I live is either : Miley Cirus crap 24/7, Country music, or rap, that's why I only listen to my ipod.

[RedBoxBoy]

yea,where can i get a copy?

[nickeroskong]

id really love a copy too, i've been searching for it for months. so if its possible at all, uh hit me up. this song is saving my life.

[hootbaloot]

yeah you think I could get a copy of that song too?

[xizzixchil3y]

I HAVE AN AUDIO COPY

[crashcoincidence]

is there anyway you can send it to me? or post it on yousendit?

[Babababecky]

OH MY

[abeniederhauser]

Where did you get it!?

[kari7385]

plz fill us it

[mattymo744]

send me copy too please

[jcassilloii]

yea, really...if someone knows where an mp3 can be found, please post the link.

[crashcoincidence]

i've been looking everywhere for an audio copy of this song. anybody know where i can get it?

[galacticfates]

yah i can send it to you if you'd like.

[24572457]

it make me sad that they broke up...but i'm excited for nate's solo stuff. anything that boy touches will be amazing.

[Alreadylost20]

His voice is just so soothing....anything from The Format makes me smile.

[cwardius]

I think I watch this video about every day. That's how amazing it is.

[sheen125]

i am not kidding i cry when i hear this song its just to sexy for my ears

[mrmayor92]

R.I.P

[krashdummy39]

I swear half the views of this video have come from me. Nate is so damn good.

[asxl0v3rsxg0]

love<3.

they need to get back together.

[whitejc]

they broke up??

[Babababecky]

they did. saddest thing ever, i cried for about a week, for reals.

but the guy that runs their myspace told me that nate has some really awesome solo stuff coming out.

[GabNShan]

I LOVE IT. But his face is not pleasing.

[whatup590paul]

i don't where to find the studio version yet either i know its moving mcalister but where else?

[BakingWithAdam]

Incredible.

[PinkAndGreenTogether]

nate, why are you so talented? i mean, sam is too don't get me wrong, but nate's vocals are just refreshingly strong and unique

[ZK3525]

i hate how he calls his songs "jimmy jams" really annoying, otherwise good

[stellaismyname]

Wait, there's a studio version? I've only found live recordings, not that they aren't freaking spectacular

[pagerunner11]

You guys were wonderful - I'll miss the music and personalities so much :(

[camsully]

i think this is kinda what it felt like for people when john lennon was killed

[pagerunner11]

luckily its not as bad - nate and sam are still alive and composing - its a shame that they're not doing it together though

[LoveMySpade]

THEY BROKE UP!!?!?? >:'-000

[Cheify789]

I just dont understand why they would break up. Did they have issues within the band. On stage they seemed great.

[LoveMySpade]

THEY BROKE UP?!

[Cheify789]

ya. feb 4, announced it on their website.

[LoveMySpade]

I love his mouth. And what comes out of it.

[FrenchyTimeMovies]

The reason The Format are awesome is that basically they sound as good as they are on records. Not many bands these days can pull that off. Plus their songwriting skills are amazing.

[Daniel0889]

Hey, I'm only wondering if you can tell me where i can get an MP3 version of the original studio version it on the internet (the one which is played in the film moving mcallister)

[Daniel0889]

Hey, I'm only wondering if you can tell me where i can get an MP3 version of the original studio version it on the internet (the one which is played in the film: moving mcallister)

[xizzixchil3y]

i got an mp3 of it

[Daniel0889]

OMG where you got an mp3 of it plz tell... And a question: you got the mp3 that is studio version ?(original, that they play in the movie: moving mcallister?)

[mindyyy]

"our fathers gave us features that we didn't want/our mothers claim those features made them fall in love"

haha, so true! what a great song...

[MattElsarelli]

haha my faveriote line in the song
