[pepenores2]

what's the song called at the end?

[MusicalMi]

One of my favorite songs of all time!!

[bodysnatchers324]

stictly speaking as a musician, i would give both testicles to simply sit and have a conversation with you, you have inspired me in so many ways, and my friend are going to start trying to make some videosongs of our own thanks to you jack!!!!! any pointers however would be much appreciated.......we're very new to recording in the way you do!

[retropianogirl]

I listen to a few youtube musicians and you are the only one that I actually enjoy listening to when I'm not on youtube. You are a frequent play on my IPOD.

[tahitiancookie]

come. to. california. and. give. me. your. freakin. autograph.

[jacob97701]

jack was in oregon?!?! why did i have to dicover YOUR specific music this year. :( i new pomplamoose for a long while now tho. ha

[tf5bassist]

Hey Jack, what song is it at the end of this video? I can't seem to recall or place it.... Anything published out somewhere yet? Or am I just being spacey?

[TheSubZeroJAM]

i bet if this guy came to maine everyone would think he was Jesus in a new soul...everything is treated way bigger here, like if travis barker actually did had a discoordinated little brother, he would be big around them parts, <reference to Fantasy Factory!!!! yeah thumbs up for RD'sFF!!!

[sSereth]

Come to chicago :3

[PhotogenicKid]

Do you have an instrumental to this? If not, then what are the guitar chords? Id like to cover this!

[martinbeco]

You're great!!! Love the tune and the lyrics. I wish you the best of luck!!!

[wordsareweapons90]

I didn't know this existed.  A song I will listen to 50 times for the next week. Sweet.

[ashwalk85]

man do you know gavin castleton?! you remind me so much of him, talentwise

[maikeru01]

man that ending is so so good. wtf is that weird piano horn contraption? it rawx

[Simplepeepee]

I've bought all of jacks CDs and i haven't bought a CD in years~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joju]

oh jack could you please make a video showing your left hand closely playing this? i would love to play this, but cant figure it out 100 % this way.

it would be sooo sweet, i bought all your songs btw :) amazing work dude

[nuttyboy007]

Check his myspace - Jeff Buckley, Incubus etc, apparently.

[michalkooz33]

help me, please. :)

what's the song at the end?

thanks

[SeveredHeadsUnite]

This is my favorite song, Jack. <3

I can listen to this a million times, interpret it a million ways, and I'll always love it. :D

[joshyboy152]

Awesome!

[jerein70]

how does this video only have 7,000 views? It's far too good for that.

[gezusmofo]

No shit, man. Jack Conte is the first artist in a long time that has actually made me contemplate buying their music.

[joshyboy152]

He doesn't have the advertising of mainstream bands, mainstream bands pay to get played and advertised everywhere. because he does it all from home and just online. he is not viewed as much. but he is up there with the best.

[alturnatx]

Jack! I'd love to obtain the chords for this song!

For music finals we have to analyze a song and play a recording of it. Id love to actually play it live for a little bonus!

If you could PM me the chords and or finger placement that would be awesome!

[1cycle101]

Sameeee chords would be amazing

This song is so good!

Did he PM them to you yet?

[alturnatx]

Nah not yet, but im working on tabbing it by ear and looking at this vid.

[1cycle101]

Haha me too

its pretty tough though yeah?

or maybe im just incompetent :P

[alturnatx]

Yeah its pretty tough.

But I eventually got it.

[diamonddustmusic]

same again!

yeah its hard cos the mics in the way. got most of it but i cant work out the chorus, grrr arg

[JoshIsNumber3]

Why don't you just analyze them?

[alturnatx]

I eventually did

[likethewater]

you not just an awesome musician but you're an amazing and very talented song writer as well

[IndIka024]

fuck I just discovered your music, and come to find you were in Portland march 8th.. just missed ya.. you comming back?

[SamuraiCab]

I really wanna hear the little part at the end as a full song

[yousnasserous]

you could add some "darbuka" drums to this track and it'ld give a whole different feel to the song ..

well done! (:

[TamboraMusik]

Come to Bregenz in Austria!!!!!! :)

[severedneed]

Definitely come East, PLEASE. I've been following you for a very long time, and was so happy to see that you were touring, but can't go to any of the shows D:

[Isosyth]

is there any instrument you cant play? Once again im blown away by your music! And also, come to the damn (north) east coast, I wanna see you live!

[SeveredHeadsUnite]

Come to Ohio?

I'd love you forever, Jack..

Of course, it's because you seem to have grasped the concept of life being confusing very well..

lawl

[jaguar5925]

Dude Jack you need to come tour in the East!! I have been pushing your YouTube and MySpace pages around and I get nothing but awesome responses!!

[tweek913]

Hey Jack, thank you so much for signing my acoustic guitar when I came up to Bellingham, WA to see you last weekend. I can't believe I was the first person to request that from you, I feel honored.

Also, I love your new "Freaks and Clowns" song; it's just so simple and beautiful.

[whitespaniards]

ahhh i see your theremin!!!!

[takingovermexx3]

wow amazing. i'm so impressed i'll even bother opening an itunes account to buy this song on there. first i thought it might be a cover of a radiohead song. and amazing lyrics too.

[madamdebris]

Eternally impressed.

[deadhope]

Mindblowing, you're one of the very few artists that sends chills down my spine.

[Gordieiati]

Very Cool Tune Jack!!

[garethwitte]

Love it. Nice work with the one sustained note in all the guitar chords, it ties it together really well. Great lyrics and powerful vocals as usual. Another winner!

Oh and melodicas are awesome!

[tuden]

who says there's no God??.......i did,now i'm not so sure.:)

[SpiderCandy00]

I think you're fantastic! I love your voice and all your songs are so unique. COME TO UTAH!! PLEASE!!!!

[BleedingxBliss]

[jackcontemusic]

[BleedingxBliss]

[jcvanluyn]

[SaintDre7]

Can't wait to see you in LA jack! I'm most definitely looking forward to it <33!

[mrbucketface]

Awesome again Jack. It all keeps spilling out... beautiful words from a true artist.

Consider Ventura, CA on your next tour.

I will promote and help out however I can.

We have a jazz band locally and know everybody.

My wife and I love your tunes. She sings in our band too.

We'll try to make the L.A. show..

[bboyslowmo]

no way! i'm totally coveting that melodica. where did you find it?  how much did it cost?

[dornpalor]

Well! Good luck on your tour, I'm really sad I won't be home in Bellingham when you head through that area, but I think Boundary Bay shows are 21+ anyways. I'll try to make my brother come by and see you. :)

[XxShadicxX]

You should be playing live right about now. Good luck.

I'd see you in Portland if it wasn't a bar you were performing at. :(

[dynamis57]

The part of the song where the melodica comes in has to be one of my favorite moments in any musical piece.

[jackcontemusic]

dudes!! i'm in grants pass, Oregon right now. we have a show in one hour! it's at a costume shop!!! it's so cool!! see you soon!

[ChlorophormPerfume]

The lyrics to this song are so deep and it has such great flow to it. I hope you have an amazing time on tour sir! :)

[Shaxspear]

Stellar tune. See you on the 3rd!!

[lilbits]

Blessings and safe journey. You're great. I like this one .

[daylightdude]

T SHIRT IS GOING ON THE MAIL

[mijnnaamisramon]

So when are you coming to the Netherlands? ;)

[thingthingy]

What no Kansas? DAMN YOU

[ubik8]

You can come clean now Jack- I've discovered your big secret!! You've got Thom Yorke locked up behind one of those doors behind you and you're forcing him to churn out fantastic songs like a manic dwarf working overtime for Santa. Either that or you're a genius of the musical variety.....

Ahh, musical variety.. them were the days!!

God bless ya on your tour, knock 'em dead.

[ddudioo]

Loved it Jack .. freakin great tune man !

You're truly inspiring, and I love your passion.

I'm bringing my drums over, and 12 beer

[MoxxyPrime]

Thanks for the goin away video! Good luck on the road! Hope to see you live!

Remember the rules of the road when touring:

1. Keep an empty 2 liter bottle in the van

2. Driving breaks are determined by the person with the STRONGEST bladder.

3. Sticking your head out the window with your tongue flapping in the wind like a dog is AWESOME!!

4. No matter how much you try, you can not use your arms as wings and make the car fly... I've tried.

Do you have any secret songs in store for live shows?

[jackcontemusic]

I LOVE your advice, and yes!  a couple secret songs.... woohoo!!

[kthxrae]

I'm pretty sure I already commented, but Jack, you are so truly talented. You are such an inspiration and influence to other musicians, I'm sure. Never stop making music <3

[jackcontemusic]

thank you! thank you!

[kthxrae]

You are very welcome. I hope you have a great tour :)

[skateordi3]

I have to listen a second time. THE EAST COAST LOVES YOU.

[Bastardozer]

i love his music. i'm from the east coast. you love his music and i can only assume you're also from the east coast. this doesn't mean that "the east coast" as a whole loves jack.

[skateordi3]

hearing your music. this video is just a live version. Best wishes on your tour. I wish I lived in the right places to go see you. I would give me left pinky toe to anyone to go. Good luck, good tunes, goof memories Mr. Conte.

Best Wishes, Jeff

[dynamis57]

I really enjoyed this.  I love acoustic guitar and you pulled it off wonderfully.

[vulcanbirdbrain]

oh, don't mind me, I'm just COMPLETELY OGGLING at the last two lines of that song. LovE!

and yes, oggling.

awesome-o-possom-ness

[BenTheWriter]

More greatness!  Best luck with the tour.

[StarSeekingGuitar]

[InhaleTheFlame]

[Spintown7]

Great work Jack, and have fun on tour.

[dshep04]

i was your 100th 5 star rating...

[loooiz]

[PrivateBuckwheat]

Hmmm... a melodica, eh? Thanks, I'm gonna have to look that up. Awesome song, by the way!

[ShatboxProductions]

Ah! You rock so much!!

I wish you were coming to Arizona!

You're pretty much the coolest person ever

[LemonOperations]

Man, I love this song... I think I like this version just the way it is, even w/o the drums and other instruments ^_^

Congratz on the tour! I wish you all the best =P

[afranzzy]

i wish your show in la was on the weekend!

[aarlarkyn]

I desperately wish that I lived in the West Coast so I can see you live :(

[artvandelay13]

[jackcontemusic]

HAHAHAHHA, freudian slip. just changed that. hahah, that's hilarious.

[pilocrates]

you sir, inspire me

[kthxrae]

amazingamazingamazing

[AshleySmolnik]

jack.. i look up to you so much.

[TheZombieFlanders]

Dude, this was epic. I'm assuming you'll be playing it on the tour, too?

I've gotta learn this. I figured out Eat after a while, but I can't sing with the fingerpicking just yet. This is more trad strumming, so I think I can work it out. You'll be seeing a cover sometime soon.

Cheers, Jack. Good luck on the tour!

~Trevor

[jackcontemusic]

dude, sweeeet! I can't wait! send me a link when you're done!

[mgphenom]

Jack dude you are epic... when you stop in San Fransisco please say hi to it for me... I wish I could help with the tour but I haven't moved out there yet... when I have I'll be begging to help with the shows :P

btw sent a couple people your way with my next to last video "MG recommends" not like it'll send a thousand but I hope it sent a couple at least... your stuff is seriously one of my favorite channels and this song is prolly my new favorite jack conte song. okay enough brown nosing :P

[RockingJamboree]

I don't know what makes this any less of a video song than your others. Less instrumentation? this seems like a fully realized arrangement

[Kijanawazhere]

AWESOMMEE!!

[Twist9]

I love this one! And this style is just as good as your other stuff! More!

[PrivateBuckwheat]

Wow, what is that instrument that starts playing around 4:36?

[terick]

Melodión

[brokenarmor]

melodica

[jackcontemusic]

yup! it's a melodica! honer melodica.

[CognosSquare]

[Cameragirl803]

Very cool! Good Luck with the Tour:) 5*****

[SeveredHeadsUnite]

Amazing, Jack! Please come to Oklahoma City soon. I'll print fliers, look into advertising in local art papers, on the net, etc...make sure you have a good OKC welcome. It'd make my year to see you live. Just be sure to Bring Nataly and do a Pomplamoose encore. :-)

[Mawfu]
