The Spill Canvas - Sunsets and Carcrashes (acoustic)

[666thehazard]

Anyone else think that the train adds to the song perfectly?

[superiorLifeForm]

something about nick feels different in this video...

[sagesbball33]

unreal acoustic majesty

[Fandangous]

where the fuck can i get the tabs for this!?!

[DanB4004]

best street music ever

[smevluva1]

chubby nick was the best.

[cuddlybear04]

holy shit thats good

[WinChronic21]

Always cover this song for the girls, gets them everytime

[Blasianlovee]

how the hell does he play that! :|

[lizzynb1]

the most talented artist ive probly ever heard of

[WessTrevor]

Nick Thomas!?? WTF talk about some of the cleanest coolest acoustic guitarist in the modern contemporary alternative rock/punk/indie/emo.....i swear its like he is playing didles on a guitar fucking awesome!!!

[ABoyWhoLovesTwilight]

I like these videos he shoots just outside in the city and such...not actual music video productions. it just shows how much he loves the music he makes.

[parkourpete]

@rpblaha

BOSS!!! <3

[ind0says]

tab me please!

[RaelynnM]

I love the look he gives the people walking through. SO CUTE<3

[Teresa2493]

That Guy Deserves To Fall Down The Stairs XD

[STIKYDAFawQ03]

this band inspired my band to start playing *SHOUTIN SILENCE*...THE SPILL CANVAS this is by far the one of the best bands ive ever heard

[thsPLCEisAnENEMY]

By far my favorite version of this song.

[silentg1211]

wow, i hope those people were suppose to be rude!

[italllies]

3 years later and I still love this fucking song !

[imEMOsoLUVme]

i like the fact that he isn't making it a big deal of the song hes just playing it outside with everyday interruptions.

[FrayFlip]

A masterpiece.

[716comedy]

yeah wow i never realized how good he was at guitar..the stuff he does with the guitar in this song is insane

[tabeezyy]

FUCK THAT GUY AT 1:03!

[DanB4004]

thank god that piercing is gone now, he looks like an idiot with it

[krosy9]

@residentemojacob haha I agree.. he sees someone singing a song and a guy with a camera recording... some people just don't care.. I hope he sees on youtube how big of a douche canoe he is.. lol

[Darriennj]

he looks better without the facial hair lol!! but really love this song!!

[Tlynch17]

First video of him that ive seen where he doesnt have a bracelet on his right wrist, idk why

[nylonsnake]

Nice sound, have this band been to the uk yet? Sure they are set for big things. Love them to play Manchester uk.

[TheSupremeCommentor]

@nylonsnake Not sure about the UK. I know they were in Europe a few years ago. They just got off a headlining tour in the US and Canada, and are currently touring in the US with the goo goo dolls and switchfoot

[granbergexperiment09]

nick is such a nice down to earth guy, he even remembers you when you meet him again..he's also a great musician its so hard to imitate how he plays.. especially acoustically

[imafanaticable]

i think those background interuptions are kinda cheesy..especially when the guy walks down the stairs with the suitcase. its obviously staged. idk great song great singer but i dont like how they played out the enviroment..

[Tommm20]

In case you were wondering, you look like a sunset to me.

TSC old music was awesome, I hate when a bunch of people start to like a band, that you knew about when they first started :/

[letsplaydoctorplease]

@Tommm20 O my gosh, that is my biggest pet peeve.

i show people bands that i think would fit other music they like and they complain about how the music sucks and then a month later the song is on their radio and in their facebook status.

[crissxangelxloverx]

hes so cute. he makes me think of a teddy bear. i just want to hug him! lmao

[666thehazard]

I actually like this version a lot more than the original, one of my favorite songs on the face of the earth :). 

[xMissChristinax]

he is sooo dreamy. i am going to marry him!

[MarieMisty1997]

I love his voice, it's peaceful.

[rozy2cool]

i miss when this was tsc music <3

[newmoongal17]

Ive met him twice and saw him at a starbucks once in philly with joe. Hes one awesome guy and he kind of looks like my sisters boyfriend lol

[Stephtastic17]

Nick smokes btw. Just sayin.

[livefortomorrowtbc]

Check out our attempt to cover this amazing version of Sunsets and Car Crashes!

[Din0Pancak3]

I love the band, and I really love Nick's solo work, but what I don't like is that they're getting dangerously close to the mediocrasy that is modern music these days. It's not that the pop sounds bad really, it's just not them. And their old stuff is the reason I got into them.

[cjsk8boy]

lol when the random guy walks down the staris

[SamiorIsis]

Shit! I l thought this was just a cover haha I have been watching this video for about a year now and I had no idea this was the actual band XD

[liveloveburndie69]

Ha. Loud Speaker goes off halfway through the song, good tho :)

[madifu]

love this song :]

[xHarlequin]

I miss old-school spill <3 =(

[firecr0tch07]

i agree sooo much with you... the new shit is just weak in comparison

[xRoBBiExRoOx]

@xHarlequin this is old school spill canvas. lol

[xHarlequin]

@xRoBBiExRoOx I know. I meant I prefer this TSC, opposed to their new stuff.

[mmcmillan564]

bahaha who was that random guy to walk through him playing?? lol. He's so good.... ♥

[dark925a]

STUPID TRAIN!!! lol

[MrGanjafarmah]

@dark925a tbh i think the train adds to it... but that is just me more than likely

[fruitcake182]

Hey Nick ditch the band and go solo again! They're only slowing you down and poping the shit out of ur tunes! Your new stuff sounds like Fallout Boy!!!

[lxxcoyotexxl]

@fruitcake182 does not..... they cant keep the same sound forever. people will get tired of them. evolve, or die!

[FretsFearMe0401]

Can anyone tell me where he is sitting? This looks like the stairs at the Pepsi Center in Denver, that go right over the lightrail train.... that would be sick to just be walkin somewhere random and see this guy jammin

[amontelbano]

its got to be open..because all the other tabs are capoed on the first fret

[Nikiavenue]

anyone know if hes in standard tuning or an open tuning ?

[UnderBlessed]

standard i am pretty sure. Don't know for sure though. :P

[fruitcake182]

Nick is just an unbeleivably talented song writer. I love how he throws all the tripple picking in there on this version.

[kaylacampa]

Damm he's really good...Im in love lol

(:

[dawley84]

1:40 i mean

[dawley84]

the brakes on the train fits in nice at 2:40. lol

[xxcocojoexx]

i am actually in love with this guy. He sings exactly what i feel. Love it. Cant wait to play it on guitar xxx

[Acoustic1oh1]

How do you do all the camera angles like they do when you make music videos ?

[PopsicleTongue]

they use more than one camera and put em all together

[khriistabrewsterr]

omg.. i'm so in love with him.

[Ashasmee]

His songs are devinely sexy.

[Baker3939]

this song isn't that hard to play.... its only hard if your trying to play exactly like how nick plays it.

[onelaststand1]

lmao well 350 , ive been playing for about that , and i think its one of the easiest songs to play and sing ive ever learnt.

-onelaststands older brother

[350drifting]

Alright if it's really that easy post a vid of how to play through the whole song including all the little flare he adds to it. Or make a guitar pro file or a tux guitar file

If you can do it you have my respect and thanks.

[lxlheathenlxl]

Creepy men walk by at the most awkward parts.

[350drifting]

my god, i wanna scream at him to post a video with tabs showing how to play it. I've been playing for 5 years and have never had this much trouble.

[chenischick]

he's my idol. i love him so much. <3

[350drifting]

If i could play and sing one song for the rest of my life, it would definitely be this song.

I wish i could sing, it's just a huge put down for my whole life that i can't sing even if i really try or get lessons. I want to play and sing this for my girlfriend but i guess all she'll get is the playing...

[angelfck696]

It takes Practice and maybe a few lessons. and if you smoke, stop.

[350drifting]

i try all the time but i just can't sing.

I don't smoke cigarettes and in fact iv never done any drugs or drinking, and don't plan on it. Which would be surprising for a lot of people that don't know me well because of the friends i have.

I just wish for in return of not doing that stuff i could sing dammit.

[Mustaldo]

how old is he here?

[MrNicktw]

dude this guy is a crazy guitarist

[24xxovertheedgexx24]

haha defff love the random guy that walks by at 1:02

hahahahahahahaa

i love the spill canvas, and this is amazing =)

[MiggyCon]

I agree with the train screeching haha

[Biga50150]

i been tryin to get this strumming down on this song for a while haha...his hands move crazy

[arky1]

niceee

i couldnt have noticed hes quiet chubby there and looks very young

he has changed a lot in 3 years =o

[kevinmichaelcastillo]

0:49 and 1:53. Oh my word, that's tight!! I hope to be able to strum as fast someday...better start practicing though.

Absolutely love this song, and this performance is almost too perfect - especially with the train noises.

[VampireSoccerLove]

dude, he is an AMAZING guitar player!

I can only imagine how hard it was to have to remember how to play it on guitar,and sing so beautifully.

[crunchycar]

damn all those people who are just walking pass

[rcwarner08]

this is probably the best acoustic performance i've ever watched....awsome job nick

[megmyatt]

the train screeching at 1.42 is the perfect pitch for the song!

immense singing/guitar

keep the beard though!!

[Zougeiro]

I just stummbed onto these guys today and I have to say I'm really impressed.

[alternativefreak101]

wow that was awesome! =D

[catweasel457]

where was this one recorded?

how came it to this situation? i mean sitting on the stairway to a station and performing a song is not so common. can anyone tell me a bit of the background of this video?

thx a lot.

p.s. great song and great performer!

[350drifting]

i dont know if its just me, but i like the background interruptions, it just adds to the song.

[AznBaller4Life]

agreed

[666thehazard]

@350drifting Yeah I thought the same thing :).

[666thehazard]

@350drifting I actually agree with you. When the train puts its breaks on it just adds this this really mystic effect to the guitar. Amazing song though, they are now one of my favorite bands of all time :).

[deathbyemos]

@350drifting i second that

[realuser2themax]

@350drifting Yeah it adds annoying background noises to the song. Nice job figuring that out bud.

[theredletterdays]

@realuser2themax he didn't figure anything out bro, it was an opinion.

[350drifting]

@realuser2themax

With 71 thumbs up, I'm not alone on this. Nice job being an arrogant asshole, arrogant asshole.

Maybe you just don't have the ears for it.

[rcwarner08]

amazing guitar playing ...and nicks voice is simply outstanding

[meteu41]

keep the beard nick

[HannahMoran]

ilovethisguy :)

ive hugged him :) hes sooo nice :)

[shadowyravenous]

@HannahMoran you've hugged him, I'm internally jealous of you.

[newmoongal17]

@shadowyravenous Ive met him twice and talked to him on the phone before. Hes one awesome guy.

[Biga50150]

i agree with everly...i mean their electric side is amazing..but this guy rapes the acoustic...in the most clean way

[SeptemberDawnBand]

haha some random guy walks through at 1:03 and singers like "what the...?"

[xxcorekidxx]

Hahaha I had to go back and watch it because I missed that and it did make me laugh, like "Oh dear that dude might laugh at me". Aww nick =]

[pm2702]

lovely <3

[everlydc5]

this is the best side of the spill canvas! i wish there was more solo acoustic performances like this!

[smevluva1]

it's crazy how much his appearance and voice has changed. some for the better. his voice for the better. well, since his hxc metal band days.

[residentemojacob]

DOUCHEBAG at 1:03

[sianyowarnio]

This was mine and an ex's song

It's beautiful and always makes me smile :)

[SurviveTheLabyrinth]

anyone have the accurate tab for this? all tabs include a 1st fret capo, but there clearly isn't one here.

[watchmebscene]

its because he's playing it half a step down, thats why it doesnt sound as high as the recording

[LindeLioneye]

what I did was combine alot of the tabs from ultimate-guitar till it sounds right. the chorus and alot of the fills are on UT under sunsets and carcrashes and its the only tab that has an advanced rating. as for the other stuff, just look for the tab that has powerchords that match his hand placement. combine that together and see what you get. itlll work

[TeresaIsForLovers]

this is such an amazing song. one of my favorites.

[mistaalig]

damn,,,,,Great guitarist.

[BigJewfro94]

dude yo tha guitar for dis song is ridickolous!! lol yo need tha tabs

[afetters]

this guy on guitar.. is the kitties titties

[sentharia]

*snorts at wording*

He sounds like his guitar is heavily influenced by Ani DiFranco to me.

[1RandomOne]

The I only thing I can think about while watching this a thank goodness he got rid of the piercings and grew out a beard.

It is MUCH more suiting. He looks scarily like an old friend of mine here and it kinds weirds me out.

[corby348]

love <3

[bradymoss50]

This guy sounds like the lead singer of trapt

[1RandomOne]

He looks so diiferent here.

BUT it is old so...

[rekowskiwhat]

the sound of the subway in the background just adds so much more feeling into this video. its great

[Baker3939]

jeez its about impossible to play a cover exactly like him.. hes a amazing guitarist.

[fruitcake182]

No it isn't keep practicing. The Bridge is the tricky part but it's just learning how to sweep with your pick.

[BlessedinContempt]

he can strum frickin fast!

he's fantastic :)

[ellvenand]

Nick, I am in love with you.

Haha just thought I'd let you know ;)

You are TOO amazing at guitar.

The only thing I can fathom playing is "The Tide."

[chocolatefk]

his voice makes me melt like a slice of butter on a freshly made pancake....

[bnash2002]

amazing on guitar!

[julivuela]

the spill canvas are great!! I love his voice!!:-) <3

[annaroxanadenial]

[jkube77]

[chRiSouLiX]

[YourOwnDisasters]

[pinkblushxx]

[jkube77]

OMG this is beautiful.

[Simmonct]

Great guitar player...no doubt

[shakebakeandbang1269]

lol, i love the songs!

& the random guy walking through made me laugh(:

[superrtubes]

great video but it needed a better location. too many distractions like the train in the background and the guy walking through it.

great performance though:)

[ChrisxChaos]

Idk, I think that may have been the point they were going for. Make it like a random guy that just sat down to play some music and pass time.

[XxCullenismxX]

*random guy walks through the video*

lmfao.

xD

Awesome video.

<3's TSC.

[trishfoxy]

he is beautiful.

[vanessa2492]

i wish my fingers worked as beautifully as his. damn

[sas1ni69]

awesome playing

[guitarrocker992]

Wow this is like ancient footage...he doesn't even have his beard here.

But this dude is so talented.

[0VideoWatcher0]

Absolutely beautiful <3

[acousticrik91]

xxx<3xxx

[MCRjackie4]

Amazing..the lyrics are so beautiful..hes very talented..i love this song!!<3 xx <3

[quickxl3]

Dont you just want to punch that guy that just walks right through the video?!

[DarkCitadelGuard]

Maybe he wanted something from taco bell or something, and couldnt wait?

[12AustinJohnson12]

is that a D10 guitar? or what does he use?

[MagicalLemonz]

<3:D

[chelslynn086]

wow all i have to say is WOW that was amazing

[FF10code]

hes very talented and such a good song writer. he just grilled that guy as he walked by and still played perfect hah. same with the train

[gpg001]

****ing epic

[Acobs22]

Amazing :)

very, VERY talented!

[xBrokenHeartedx]

can you like.... never delete this

[cynthiacouto]

fucking raw man.. fucking raw <3

seal the deal in the parking lot with a kiss.

[SwiftBlade769]

my favorite part is where that one guy walks by him on the stairwell and they just kinda look at each other as he keeps playing...

[Kort3]

WOW it doesnt even look like him!! but i love your music!!

[Eeclipse7]

awkward fat kid. but i love the song

[ChuckleDemPickles]

I love the spill canvas <3 <3 he is breathtaking.. i wish someone would write me a song like this..he is soo deep and his voice wow .

[armorforsleepbecky]

Agreed! :o)

[Maiafly]

he's really young here.

wow;

like it doesnt even really look like him.
