Ben Kweller - In Other Words

[imsober69]

FUCK DIS GUY STOLE TALIBS SONG!!!!!

[iloveAndrewwv]

@imsober69 youre an idiot.

[spinalchords21]

until a few minutes ago had not heard of Ben Kweller. 1st half reminded me of my style of songwriter pianst. me as a boy.

[iloveAndrewwv]

One amazing man.

[thenextR9]

THUMBS UP IF UR FAVORITE PART WAS EVERYTHING AFTER 4:00

[imsober69]

@thenextR9 my favorite part was after 5:47

[JesterfaceBassplayer]

Well, it would have been much nicer for everyone if mr Kweli asked before he sampled it.

[fluffikinz]

"551" by Dessa is how I found out about this wonderful song. Thank you to both her and Talib Kweli, for now I am now in love with Ben Kweller's music.

[xodance8316]

this was the tune of my camp alma mater <3

[joshisnot11]

Lol at everyone complaining about Talib sampling this. I heard Talib's first, then was interested in finding out more about the song, to find that Kweller had originally written it. It gave me a deeper appreciation for both artists. Kweller for writing it, and Talib for having brilliance to sample it for a hip-hop song. Not everyone is a mindless consumer, and Ben Kweller has received more attention because of the sampling. THINK.

[Dsdelitesniper]

Best song ever

[imflacid]

Too bad this isnt more like Talibs song...

[faeryfirefly]

Thanks so much for sharing this beautifully filmed video :)

[faeryfirefly]

It's a shame that some people don't know him for his own merits but because some guy stole portions of this song. -___-

[Devizier]

@faeryfirefly it's called sampling. get over it.

[faeryfirefly]

@Devizier If that makes you feel better to call it by something else. :) Theft is theft. :)

[69stilettos]

@faeryfirefly It wasn't necessarily "stolen". Besides, isn't it better though that because of the fact that it was sampled in other songs, the original song is more known? Share and love music, man. That's what it's for.

[brickcity487]

@faeryfirefly Doesn't that speak to his merits, not distract from them? Obviously if people were interested enough in that song to find the original then it speaks volumes to his own ability.

[tooyoungtoburn]

those hair on his face <3

[auditoryarmory]

I've loved this song for a long time...

[highflyer7337]

Ben Kweller is one of few artist who actually sound better live than recorded. I wish he sold live concert cd's that would be a deal there :)

[remymartinextra2]

@highflyer7337 You can download a lot of his live stuff free at archive.org booooyyyaaaa

[theetemptress666]

Its so rad to see how much this kid has grown since '97. Much respect old pal.

[allen63b]

Thumbs up if Talib Kweli didn't bring you here, wtf is he anyway?

[yuppcj]

@allen63b Well at least you capitalized his name. That shows respect.. nuff said ;]

[EastBeast91]

@allen63b He's a Hip Hop artist. i think its good he sampled it. Opens the door for people who come from different musical backgrounds to discover new artists.

[LifeIsGoodies]

What's up with the crowd?  They should be listening!!

[BuckeyeExpat]

One of my absolute favorite tunes! Brilliant filming! Thanks for this

[codyenglish]

2nd the retarded crowd comment

[EDGE1LB]

talib kweli did this great on the sampler

[BoxOfOranges84]

Thumbs up in Talib Kweli "Ms Hill" brought you here

[eross9]

@BoxOfOranges84  yuuuuup

[MMMBopYoFace]

Holy shit that was beautiful!

[CarolinaIzaZombie]

i saw this song accidently and now that ive heard it ive fell in love with it<3

[deadweighthate]

excellent....reminds me, somehow, of a reincarnated harry nilsson

[OfficialyME101]

Yurp...... <3

[pedroanjos]

É... muito obrigado Talib Kweli por samplear essa musica em Ms. Hill.

[LiziGee]

This crowd needed to shut the fuck up. Can't they tell when they're being preached to?

[f1HIGHBREEDS]

where can I find more ben kweller? Anything cut in a studio?

My fucking ex gave me this CD with a bunch of Ben Kweller, Atmosphere, Deltron 30-30... but I don't know the names of any of the songs :(

[oxygeninduced]

@f1HIGHBREEDS

Google is your friend.

[flekt]

anyone else think that kweller kinda looks like neil young here?

[tHiNeS8888]

I feel like he wanted to write "the only thing that's real are the kids that KILL themselves" and was advised to change it. Woulda made more sense, tho! I mean "the demise of the beautiful"?

[ProFlyingMachine]

wow the French can eat shit how dare they be so rude to ben

[kevinlongmusic]

i cant believe people are talking through this

[djduckie]

There is not a single bad song on Sha Sha. BK Para SIempre!

[mrscristoferdrew9]

this song is insanely amazing!!!!! i wish i could get it on itunes, but i cant find it :(

[mrscristoferdrew9]

@mrscristoferdrew9 I FOUND IT IT'S OK

[Babsbabet]

I love the thought of passive agressive butterflies. They'll leave sarcastic post-it notes around if you don't clean the kitchen.

[carsonkent]

talib kweli....

[MrsPomme]

Magnifique *o* <3

[excelhiphop]

Thank you Dessa for sampling this song before Talin Kweli haha

[deppswife1]

ben kweller is beautiful in every freaking way. And, this is a wonderful recording.

[kellyfortune]

This is a great song

[lepopnoir]

I miss him.

Man, why wasn't he absolutely HUGE?

[shoobedoobewaa]

i love how the crowd joins in at just the right moment rocky steady beat to help ben along there. good work crowd, and good work camera person. and good work Ben!

[kristinangelique]

thank you!

[ihrtincubus]

Thank you Talib Kweli for sampling this song.

[kupambazua]

@ihrtincubus seriously! without his heart-felt music devotion to lauren, i'd a never found this other great vessel of insight named Ben Kweller!!!

[imsober69]

@ihrtincubus r u dum he stol it!!!!!

[therannmann2000]

This is the best live recording I've seen of this song. Very nice.

[snowprincess90]

amazing!

he is one of the best artists i know!!

i can't stop hearing this

[gmila84]

@snowprincess90 fanboy...

[philipfloyd01]

[rennschnuller3]

der kerl is sooo hamma. <3

[mgrubbs340]

i was lookin for the song fly me to the moon by frank sinatra and i used "in other words" and this came up so i listened and now im addicted lolz i listen to this song like 50 times a day

[Goulias7]

@mgrubbs340 heh it happened to me too!!;D

[jakejawsmusic]

@mgrubbs340 Called "Destiny" :)

[imsober69]

@mgrubbs340 are you retarded? or do you just have no life?

[davedcp64]

heard this song on college radio here in the SF bay area about 2 years ago.........it was one of those diamond in the rough tracks, that couldn't go unnoticed by many. Kweller's vocal stylings and dramatic piano arragements, are what sets him apart. Thanks for the post!

[fridistidis]

He is so beautiful and talented. I get goosebumps everytime!

[Orsley]

Good job w/ the cam, jey!

[faeryfirefly]

i just found out today that i love ben kweller. i'm amazed that though i've known about him for a few year that i haven't bother to take the time to listen. he is amazing. :D i hope to makes a least 3 more albums.

[1251alexRR]

i'd prefer not to think about how many more albums he is gonna make. haha.

[Sezzera]

Perfect video recording, thank you! :)

Kweller love.

x

[psykoosi]

I love this. He's amazing

[Fluffgelstat]

F*** ! i would so want to see him live and i missed this opportunity...not often he comes in France ;/ maybe next time. great artist anyway

[bellissima032]

The song is called "In Other Words"

[polo339]

Nice.

What song is this ?

[chaniriiell]

he's just as good live as he is on his albums. The mark of a remarkable artist. I love this.

[VouLoIrEx3]

this is one of mii favorites of his....hes amazingg

[letsfaceit3]

a shame that people talk so much...

[LeaheyHoo]

Ben Kweller rocks! We shot his show in NYC last summer. Check out my profile to watch the video!

[flyingpigs4hannah]

calming*

[flyingpigs4hannah]

i love this. i love his voice! it is so calming. anyone second me? oh and calmingin a good way!

[MartyPartyFartyMan]

agreed, i got to speak to him on the phone and he was even so calming then =P

[phatkane691]

This song is fantastic.

[MadDemoiselle]

Un pur bonheur tt simplement...

[ecaths]

I love this song. Just not the lyrics.

[alexjeffers]

What's wrong with the lyrics?

[ecaths]

"the butterflies are passive aggressive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful"? I mean, I get that it's a metaphor or whatever, and it's probably really profound... It just sounds silly. Plus, it's a run-on sentence. I know a lot of people find them poetic. I find them rather annoying. The lyrics just bother me is all.

[higherness]

"Plus, it's a run-on sentence. I know a lot of people find them poetic. I find them rather annoying. The lyrics just bother me is all."

It's not a run-on sentence, you just don't know how to properly punctuate (see above quoted comment.)

[ecaths]

He sings it like a run-on sentence. I realize that's not the same as writing it, but it's still a run-on sentence in my book.

[kLafied]

Yeah..that's kind of dumb of you. Most music must bother you.

[ecaths]

Not really. I'm just really picky about lyrics. To each his own, though. This has nothing to do with being dumb, it's merely about preference.

[kLafied]

I suppose you're right. I apologize.

[mahateshearts]

in other words..  beautiful song. <3

[gl0rybox]

What's the name of this song ? I looove !

[marc0885]

sooo beautiful...

[SoloCarbonated]

Beautiful, beautiful, song.

[chaniriiell]

my oh my, I am spent. I would marry this boy twelve times.

[ofpressure]

i just saw him live tonight, and he was so amazing.

[ohhariel]

this is by far the sexiest video i've ever seen.
