The Raconteurs Many shades of black

[Shika568]

Any credit for Brendan Benson? D:

[donnemoiunnom]

@Shika568 I hear you man. A lot of people seem to mistake his voice for Jack's or just forget him completely when he has a huge part in the band. The true fans know.

[JakelittleOfficialYT]

Did it before Adele. And better.

[littlegrllost]

I bought their cd because of this song....true talent...brilliant lyrics

[UnicornPowers3]

adele is better

[GleBanana]

@UnicornPowers3 O.o

[UnicornPowers3]

@GleBanana

adele did a cover of this song shes better

[bridgetalaine7]

@UnicornPowers3 get out.

[UnicornPowers3]

@bridgetalaine7

get out of where?

[fireman100010]

Jack White ........ Jack White ....Jack White.... nope still cant make more of one of that guy..............history books will have his name in it ......or respectfully should.

[roqueofspades]

Somehow.... I was always able to tell their voices apart.... =P

[OiScumies]

Joseph Morgan recommended this song and I love it <3

[Emalyz48]

This singer has the same voice as jack white, I love both of their voices, they're amazing.

[transfrmpnguinz]

So happy you uploaded this, but... how hard is it to capitalize the title correctly???

[trumpetpeacesigngurl]

I LOVE THIS SONG. And I'm a 13 year old girl. See, this generation isn't completely hopeless!

[geoffwoade]

Well, everyone here at Youtube is very proud of you, have a cookie!

[trumpetpeacesigngurl]

@geoffwoade I sense sarcasm.. 

[geoffwoade]

@trumpetpeacesigngurl perceptiveness is a great asset to have

[screener545]

@trumpetpeacesigngurl Good, Someone chick under the age of 20 or so likes real good music :P

[Elieesia]

@trumpetpeacesigngurl Same! Haha, it's funny how most of my friends have never heard of Jack White, because they're too busy listening to that bieber junk.

[bridgetalaine7]

@Elieesia =my life storyyyyyyyyy!

[fabhomer]

A VERY VERY AWESOME ALBUM. I DON'T LISTEN TO IT AS OFTEN AS I SHOULD ;

SEEING THE QUALITY OF ALL THEIR SONGS

[russianfantastico]

I love the sound of his voice.

[LuisWahWah]

the chorus kind of reminds me of the billy joel song "moving up/moving out" I don't remember what it's called

[MercyToAGrindingHalt]

@LuisWahWah It's called 'Anthony's Song', I think. 'Fraid I don't hear the similarity though.

[LuisWahWah]

@MercyToAGrindingHalt Ah there it is, thank you. listen to them both side by side, I'm not saying that they ripped off billy joel, and Anthony's song has different accents of the beat as well as a much slower tempo, but if you listen the part in Anothony's song that says "And it seems such a waste of time, if that's what it's all about" there is a similar melodic movement of the vocals as the part in this song that says " everybody sees and everyone agrees..."

[jmcieslak0]

Goddam they're playing MI Fest Sept 17 and I want to go so bad but it's $79.....someone reassure me that it's worth the money!!

[NChorseluvr]

@jmcieslak0 - DEFINITELY worth the money!! Traveling over 700 miles to see them there... I'd pay that much just to see The Raconteurs, but there are many others playing too. It'll be a great time!

[jmcieslak0]

@NChorseluvr welp it just dropped to $59 so that'll seal the deal!! Thanks. So pumped......5 more days!!

[jmcieslak0]

@jmcieslak0 ...and now I've just won 2 tickets to MI Fest! hahaha. I didn't need to whine about the price after all lol.

[SneakyBastard5]

@jmcieslak0 well add a couple of hundred dollars i 'd spend to get the airplane all the way from Greece...

You get the point dude but if u don't, there so many shades of black.. ;) relax it is worth the money

[sosweetnsassy]

I love their version and the adele version equally.

[ekskates]

Raconteurs= Awesome and Talent

[rocketloopz]

Is it possible for Jack White do do something wrong? I think not!

[dudamonnerat]

@rocketloopz Maybe finish with White Stripes.

[lithium2370]

@dudamonnerat he didn't finish with white stripes. dead weather

[dudamonnerat]

@lithium2370 ok. I like all his projects and I'm totally with you about his talent and stuff, but there are too many projects for only one Jack White.

[crazytanya4ya]

This is my all time favorite song. yeah.

[Calib3r357]

the dislike bar is the size of justin biebers penis

[SoothsayerXAngel]

@Calib3r357 hahahahahahahahahahaha NO, NOT FUNNY go make up your own joke, your the most unoriginal person ever, so silence

[bunnykingIII]

not the typical raconteurs song.

BUT IT'S PRETTY DAMN AWSOME!

[92gaby841]

this has always been one of my favorite songs, i love his voice and the music is amazing :)

[jsw22289]

absolutely incredible...got an old school feel to it... i love how you can't put The Raconteurs in a box and slap a specific label on them. they are the one and only of their kind.

THIS SONG MAKES ME WANNA SING

[nvapors]

see if i cryyyy bitch!!!! haha

[ikerpolo]

aunque no cante jack, la cancion mola mucho!

[Sadie121304]

adele sucks nuts

jack white wrote this song thats who should get credit

[JNovak92]

@Sadie121304 But not ONLY Jack White. The White Stripes was often the Jack White show, yet the Raconteurs contains at least four fantastic musicians, who should all get equal credit for the songs they write.

[mussman717word]

@JNovak92

True, but the Jack White show was better, lol. No disrespect to the other guys.

[Sadie121304]

adele sucks nuts

[kazs312]

i know jack doesn't sing this song but brandon's voice sounds so similar to jack

[LzN16]

@kazs312 with a lot of fantasy that may be

[kazs312]

@LzN16 hahahaha i guess so 

[ZamSolo]

I like both Jack White and Adele, besides, why the rivalry? They are in the same band. Although, besides from just singing this song, I love Jack White's bluesy influences and etc.

[lbstumph]

Adele does NOT do it better.....sorry

[ooosteve]

Adele does in a million times better!

[onda42]

@ooosteve who?

[thebestpathetic]

And that is how it should be sung

[BlueEyedHippie517]

This was the first time I listened to this song today, And let me tell you, I am already in love. ;)

Thanks Pretty Boy,

[BlueEyedHippie517]

This was the first time I listened to this song today, And well, I think I have just feel in love already. ;)

[WMSization]

jack white is a musical genius. The raconteurs are insane. the white stripes suck. i guess thts what happens when u put ur ex wife at drums....but i love the raconteurs, their legendary

[PhoneHomeProduction]

@WMSization Haha.. No. Shut the fuck up, your opinion has been disregarded.

[WMSization]

@PhoneHomeProduction haha...um no u shut the fuck up, u actually spend time replying to other peoples comments on youtube to make yourself appear right, when your not. So how bout you take a seat

[PhoneHomeProduction]

@WMSization And you spend your time writing totally unrelated comments about how other bands suck. o.O What makes it even worse is the fact that the band you listed ISN'T bad.

[WMSization]

@PhoneHomeProduction what makes it even worse is.......ur probably a lonely old ginger sittin on youtube tryna make friends

[PhoneHomeProduction]

@WMSization Wow. You are a genuinely stupid person. That may be the stupidest thing I've read all day.

[WMSization]

@PhoneHomeProduction lol ok

[lacortina1]

@WMSization

You don't seem to realize you've made a complete asshat of yourself.

[sallycheecha]

@WMSization The white stripes are Fkn AMAZING... his "ex wife on drums" doesnt have shit to do w your lame comment. You just sound sexist. If they really sucked so bad then why the hell were they so famous and so well liked? Exactly...

[xxqcwaslukxx]

@sallycheecha

Ex wife? LOOL

It's his sister dude... his sister

[sallycheecha]

@xxqcwaslukxx umm no "dude" they were married. when the white stripes first came out he said she was his sister. but it was later revealed that they were married. he still refers to her as his sibling tho and that "siblings are mated in life" They got married and he took her last name. he was born John Anthony Gillis.

[xxqcwaslukxx]

@sallycheecha

Yea I know sorry man, I made a research just after I posted my comment and few minutes later ended up knowing that they are divorced.

Sorry lol, I will get my facts right before talking next time :)

Have a nice day buddy

[Wlycoyote14]

@xxqcwaslukxx yerpppp they said he was her big brother to get people off their case but when people found out she was older it forced them to say they were married

[xxqcwaslukxx]

@Wlycoyote14

And why did it was obvious that it was not his sister since she was older?

She needed to be younger? Why?

[Wlycoyote14]

@xxqcwaslukxx because they said he was her big brother. that doesn’t work if she’s older than him.

[LzN16]

@xxqcwaslukxx the point obviously is that its been said that she is his LITTLE sister. but hey, my name is odin and i have absolutely no idea

[amanda496]

great song!

[kapotestinagriadisi]

why isn't this song more popular? :O

[eleneinu]

you really can listen this song for hours and not get bored! it's more than brilliant.

[thatzookid]

So. As much as I love this song.....I actually prefer Adele's version. Just sayin'.

[egoexitosus]

So, how many shades of black are there?

[aoffan23]

@egoexitosus Many.

[deadxxxxx]

@egoexitosus 7

[thatguyalldetime]

what would be really cool is if the bands commented on what we say like once a year.....heck thats a new web site cause i wonder if jack has the balls to say which is his fav. band

[Funnypotatosac]

@rtpiink Your spelling isn't though

[runaway6]

I cant get enough of this song.

and what makes it even more amazing

is that its not predictable, they actually touch

base on feelings and emotion with out making

it so dramatic. its simple yet a fantastic song!

they have my money for their next album. <3

[LittyBitt]

my gym teacher gave me this CD :)

[mrmojohasrisen]

@LittyBitt he's grooming you lol next he'll be givin you some sausage lol

[madundy]

@LittyBitt after or before he touched you?

[lakajd]

@LittyBitt +9001

[LiquidSwordsman313]

this is music!

[rtpiink]

awesome

it's perfec!

[hipaulette]

JACK WHITE DOESN'T SING THIS SONG..

[joshuacaswe11]

@hipaulette yes he does

[gillmengreen]

@hipaulette yea its the guitarist that singing, right?

[yanawa7]

@gillmengreen Brendan Jenson

[LucyIsntANipple]

@hipaulette Who does then?

[TheBeatleDrummer]

@LucyIsntANipple =-O Brenden Benson!!!

[LucyIsntANipple]

@TheBeatleDrummer Yeah I thought that but other Youtubers were confusing me -.-

[snowyDec0713]

@hipaulette I know..............

[transfrmpnguinz]

@hipaulette Jack White and Brendan Benson have such similar voices. It took me a few listens to tell their voices apart. For the longest time I thought that Jack White sung most everything in the Raconteurs. BOY was I wrong XD...

[danboom01]

@transfrmpnguinz ya it takes a while but ya brendan actually sings most while jack is lead guitar. but only some (switch and the spur for example) he sings.

[screener545]

@hipaulette yes he does

[stewartakaryan]

bredan benson is good...but not jack white good

[noobcake300]

Chorus of this song is perfect

[xpabli]

easy comparable with queen, awesome sound !!!!

[217jmw]

simply brilliant!

[adaraquel]

"So take it as it comes

And be thankful when it's done

There's so many ways to act

And you cannot take it back"

Man, these guys are brilliant and so f-ing amazing! This song makes me realize what an idiot I was by being ignorant to the cheating bastard that my ex was all along. I am so thankful it's done and I'm moving on happily with my life.

Everything about this song is perfect. ^_^

[joshuacaswe11]

@adaraquel fair play man

[clowneska]

omg I love this song!

[electricpub]

This is my happy song.

[jcgamer107]

2:40 it's like his guitar screams and then has to inhale at 2:44. Like you can feel the guitar as a living entity with emotions. Amazing, not many people can make their guitar do that.

[Patriotsfan346]

@jcgamer107 u high?

[jcgamer107]

@Patriotsfan346 High on music

[StarFaukes]

@jcgamer107 LOL no, that sounds corny as fuck

[ibrozdemir]

@jcgamer107 wow that's a realy nice and strong perception, you realy have a talented ear.

[vertigorobotfilms]

WHITE AND BENSON MAKE AN AWESOME TEAM!

[CrashChloride]

That opening riff is completely "It'll Get Ya" from Goober and the Peas but that is not surprising

[Valkodu]

@CrashChloride Considering Jack White was in that band....

[CrashChloride]

@Valkodu thanks for completing my sentence, LOL

Long life Detroit

[risethehiss]

im starting to realy like this band

[hut173]

This is such a masterpiece.. makes me think of all of my life so far and wish I could have known this ong a lot, lot earlier...

[ladysaane]

friggin brilliant, God so good...blah love this band

[ladysaane]

friggin brilliant, God so good...blah

[jennheartsmusicful]

my bf introduced me to the raconteurs!:) he saved my life i dont no how i went without them!XD

[JagW123]

the guitar solo gives me goosebumps

[adaraquel]

Truly a brilliant song!

^_^

[john38127]

great song

[CAMF628]

Anyone else think the corus sounds like a song from Grease? What song does this sound like? i cant place it

[jcgamer107]

@CAMF628 I always thought the verse & chorus had a sort of 50's/motown style to it, like the way the bass line is and the vocal notes.

[StillwaterEnemies]

@CAMF628 sounds pretty beatles style..

[thepinkberry]

that's real music! i like most of all the part from 2:37 to 3:10 ♥great song♥

[misaozee]

@thepinkberry Agreed! That part rocks!!

[arbitraitor621]

there needs to be more albums and sings like this and the switch and the spur!!

[SuperRondalee]

this song sums up my relationship status...

[Gliferz]

He makes his guitar cry...

[jcgamer107]

Does anyone else think this is the best guitar solo ever?? It's been my favorite for a couple months now, so sick. I know it's not the most difficult solo ever, but it's just bleeding through the guitar. It makes me cry almost.

[SuperAlmostfan]

64,000 views thats IT!! meanwhile BS So caalled "impossible" Guitar solos hav like a million

[titaniumdude]

Great song !! Great Melody !! Great Lyrics !!

[Longboardersrule12]

i hate thumbs up whores...

thumbs up this comment if you agree?:]

[deathgun666]

acoustic is better i have to say. still awesome though.

[atwgirl13]

holey shit jack white is amazing..

[heidyblue5306]

luv this since the first time i heard it =)

[gusterguy01826]

Brendan Benson is one of the only people in the music world today that gives me hope in the business.

[frag164]

best band around! for shiz

[7credible]

Saw this on Conan a few years back when he still did Late Night! Just popped into my head a few days back.

[bassmanmb4]

Is it just me or is this the best band to come out since the 90's?

[PepsiGurl93]

My favorite Raconteurs song

[TheMarshallGibson]

C'est pour moi ça !!! Everybody seems, and everyone agrees, that you and I are wrong, and it's been that way too long, take it as it comes, and be thankful as it comes and there's so many shades of black !!

[jcgamer107]

2:38 effing sweet

[icedog141]

Jack White is an incredible musician. I prefer the white stripes though as the white stripes is pretty much Jack's solo career.

[dlm9293]

@icedog141 and where does meg white fit into that??? without her the white stripes would be nothing, am i right?

[McKolivan]

@dlm9293 tell me one group that would be sth without a drummer...

[dlm9293]

@McKolivan no group would be but they both input into lyrics and music and its not fair for you to say its jack whites solo career when they both contribute to the music

[McKolivan]

@dlm9293 when exactly did i say it's jack's solo career?on the contrary I said that meg is essential for the group...

[icedog141]

@dlm9293 her drumming style is very simple. She basically just keeps the beat and lets jack do his thing. I wouldn't be surprised if jack told her exactly what and how to drum either. I do like her drumming style though as it gives the songs a sense of minimalist blues

[attackoftherandom]

why do the chicks always think jack white is hot? im a straight so i guess thats why i dont understand it. lol

[aprilaeries]

@attackoftherandom Every girl loves a passionate, crazy, genius musician...plus, it helps if he's holding a guitar. ; )

[ErickMustaine7]

is jack singing in this song?

[cyberfruit]

@ErickMustaine7 No, Brendan sings this one.

[remcohendrix]

Awesome SOLO!!!

[repsoner]

and theres many shades of black!

[misstwinkletoes96]

go raconteurs!!!!!!!! good song!

[Dancolehawk]

they have this knack for communicating their message so well. make the listener feel it so well. a truly once-in-a-lifetime band.

[hipaulette]

i love this song.. its just for my ex boyfriend who hates me haha xD

[Regvids]

its funny cause this is like the opposite kind of thing jack did with the stripes yet hes still amazing with it

[dh777777777777777777]

this is a great song and thanks to my French class, I know that Raconteurs means like storytellers or something like a storyteller.

[sexyEmma4u]

Its only bands like the RACONTEURS and EARTH CULTURE that have restored my faith in music.

[phillipejones11]

anyone know what key this song is in?

[DJIainK]

This is a nice tune.

[cailey365]

in love with this song right now! the original is better than adeles version in my opinion for suree :)

[KathrynAmy14]

gr8 song :D
