Never Get to Know - Paul Baribeau

[ChristopherHeynig]

I have been let down by the people that I love, but I will not let down the people that love me.

That line gets me every time I hear this song.

[thefreetimedude]

paul is far from hipster, hes one of the most honest and raw punk songwritters ever

[musicfreakology]

Paul Baribeau can literally sing to me every single second of every single day and everything would be fine.

[FirePenguin731]

There is nothing like Paul B. live. No recording compares.

[riseagainst8934]

This song.....

[FromMuToYou]

jesus christ this is pretentious hipster bullshit

[MrSantiagoandDunbar]

@FromMuToYou shut up faggot go listen to neutral milk hotel

[kmorley111]

@MrSantiagoandDunbar You aren't making anything better. Honestly, shame on you. That's all I have to say.

[wortwortwort343]

@FromMuToYou do you actually know what pretentious means or is that just a big word you like to throw around?

[FromMuToYou]

@wortwortwort343

Bro, this shit is try-hard hipsterdom at its finest.

I'm sorry you don't like words over eight letters.

[wortwortwort343]

@FromMuToYou

pretentious [prɪˈtɛnʃəs]

adj

1. making claim to distinction or importance, esp undeservedly

2. having or creating a deceptive outer appearance of great worth; ostentatious

[asskickatron]

@FromMuToYou He's on a DIY punk label, along with other folk-punx including Ghost Mice. this was when this album came out. far from a hipster breh

[timmytits666]

this sux, i can c why so many ppl fuckin disliked this bullshit

[zachsurprenant]

@timmytits666 Just from your name on youtube i can tell your way to immature to even realize how sad this song is. All this song is a great artist pouring his heart out, And honestly i think you should consider breating water instead of oxygen, itll work better for you.

[ellenkehoe420]

fuck the 8 people who disliked this song, they obviously don't know what good music is

[xfrenchiexD]

Paul is just.. perfection. c:

[RandomEllz]

Yes, he's not the best singer but he is my favourite. His voice is beautiful and tells the truth and that is why Paul is amazing. He speaks his mind and because of that everyone can relate to him. He is better than any other person in the world.

[TheGncGuru]

Paul, live your life with no regrets you deserve it man! Its sad to watch people lose the spiritual war with themselves=(

[AwenShirazi]

Steven, Melissa, Bonnie, Harry, Paul's Dad and Mom account for the six people who disliked this video. Paul's sister said, "I deserved it."

[hitch23213]

@AwenShirazi pretty beat comment.

[chillerpilla]

great piece. <3 u for this song

[superrceci]

I swear, the first 8 times I heard this song, I cried.

[00Yahiko]

I can listen to this song over and over and it doesn't get old.

[obliviouspoo]

Paul Baribeau, beautiful person

[FolkingBrilliant]

Jesus, this is really intense. Great song.

[dontcallmepeanutt]

so.much.passion

[WTFraven2]

Chords????

[ComicsAndCigarettes]

:'(

[TheBerret50]

great song hits home in a lot of ways



[SenorSlopez]

Hearing this song live at Plan It X Fest with everybody singing along almost brought a tear to my eye, I swear.

[displacedcheesehead]

So intensely personal. Like he's singing his diary.

[stickroll]

My moms an alchoholic too.

[dajkil]

@stickroll My moms a crack addict.

[stickroll]

@dajkil Im sorry to hear that. Kids like us dont deserve that shit.

[MRSICKYNARNAR]

Wow... Two people really have no idea..



[G0BSRMFE]

This shit is FUCKING gay!! Bahahahahahahaha mother of all fucking douches!!!!!!

[happygnocchi]

@G0BSRMFE Go to hell.

[MrSantiagoandDunbar]

@G0BSRMFE

your gay that is all

[mollythesard]

@G0BSRMFE Gays have rather a lot of fun, y'know.

[EnigmaButterfly]

I was driving alone and listening to this for the first time, and when it reached the line "my mom is an alcoholic' I started crying it was like listening to my life unfold in a song. I adore him for this song :) and this is real music to me

[KingoftheBeach90]

I just want him to take me to the giant tire swing...

[jellyb0ness]

This is my favorite song in the entire world.

[rachelshakedown]

beautiful

[HorribleCakeMakers]

two people will never get to know :)

[stumpyman101]

tbh, he cant sing for shit

[Anikazam]

@stumpyman101 That's too subjective.

I adore his voice.

[aswhiterunsblack]

Too good. Too good. Too good. My brain is overloading with pure beauty.

[AbuZe14]

this song is so beautiful.

[Unicorns4eva77]

So Good

[BloodofErin1798]

thank god i remember when we were kids, before i lost you all to drugs

[groar92skatrdinasour]

Venting dude, Venting.

[lespaulnasty31]

is the real title to this reasons to stay sober?

[sieannalovesyou]

@lespaulnasty31 No, it's call never get to know.

[ForgedAlliance]

I really don't see why his voice cracking matters at all.

[luvveyduvvey]

This actually makes me really worried that in the future I'll be able to relate to this more than I do now.

[EliteShadowQR]

I played this song at my High School Reunion.

I got 4 hugs :)

[DirtyMidgetStudios]

A song I can relate to.

[laurenLaurenLAURENx3]

This is my favorite.

[david6netzero]

music at its best

[rottenvikingshark]

wow, i want to cry, and men don't cry - they work out.

[bikegeek6666]

@rottenvikingshark bullshit

[rottenvikingshark]

@bikegeek6666 haha yeah, i've never worked a day in my life..

[DirtyMidgetStudios]

@rottenvikingshark

Real men cry.

[Raidersfreakal]

that one person who dilikes this song probably relates to him/her more then we can imagine

[obliviouspoo]

raw, fabulous

[baspkillsthedank707]

if you want to find this music go to planitx records online. you can torrent all there music for free. because there all real musicians

[Smoothcriminel]

i bet that one person feels real bad right now

[beatnikmichelle]

wow sounds so real. like his voice is so heartbreaking. i hate those songs that are covered by a bunch of shit. this is just very simple. i love it.

[IzWhackAndTrip]

I hate that you can't buy this anywhere...

[Clydelishes]

@IzWhackAndTrip

You can buy it from him...

[randomnessiscool]

@IzWhackAndTrip What are you talking about? I own 2 CDs of his, and one includes this track...

[IzWhackAndTrip]

@randomnessiscool Well, I checked last week at all our entertainment stores, and we don't have anything from Paul Baribeau, Jeffrey Lewis or Kimya Dawson...

[randomnessiscool]

@IzWhackAndTrip ....not all CDs are available at big entertainment stores. Actually, a lot of good CDs aren't.

All three of those artists have their CDs available through Amazon.com, though. learn2internet.

[aLaughingPenguin]

The last verse is the story of my life. "You might wonder why I'm an asshole,

Or wonder why I'm so uptight,

Or wonder why I don't just chill out,

Or learn how to have a good time.

Because sometimes I'm scared right out of my mind

and sometimes I'm angry.

Because I've been let down by the people that loved me.

I will not let down the people I love."

[JsbJsbJsbmager]

@aLaughingPenguin Umm, you got that last part wrong...

It's

Because I've been let down by the people I loved

I will not let down the people that love me.

[breakfastroute]

I was playing with the idé that it would be nice to produce Paul Baribeau's music for him, and that you could do so much with it. But whenever I hear him sing and play I change my mind. Paul is one of the few who does it best with just a guitar and his voice, and you should probably not mess with that. This is pure and awsome.

[JuliaJeanxo]

I had never heard of this guy until my friend took me to one of his shows, watching him sing this live, is life changing.

[Deadlypolaroids]

I bet everyone can relate to this song.

[G0D666]

I relate to this song in far more ways than I'm comfortable with.

[Sladethetermanater87]

Cried myself to sleep after hearing this

[Danielleeestarrr]

Thank you.

[piketyl000]

cool song

[jokeistman]

the way the world is run these days and the way nature works as well a lot of people will have very unfair and sad lives so it's understandable why some people are mean and angry. it's all just an equation really.

[SerendipitalAmity]

This song is just...awesome. No other words come to mind.

[UrPostOfficeBuddy]

i saw this man yesterday, shook his hand, and had a great conversation with him. what an amazing fellow.

[dannestor1]

That is MUSIC. I luckily got to see him live in Galway at a gig a few years ago, when I was a lot younger and immature than I am now, but he still left such a profound effect on me. What a nice guy.

[jozigrozi]

This song gives me the chills.

[dancer4lifeduh]

sick, brilliant. i cant wait to see him!!!!

[stuge234]

wonder why i'm an asshole lol

[tacitern]

my boyfriend does a really excellent cover of this song :)

[zerotolerance200]

The last line is perfect.

[cosbine]

This is really intense-- it's not as intense live, it's just this recording in particular that's very savage.

[yunnii]

This song makes me cry,. soo beautiful.

[fishinfool123]

I like it

[micahwaful]

paul baribeau can write music. his music is real. it's everyday life stuff. its not fantasy crap some ppl write about. its beautiful

[camtisler]

@micahwaful yeah he write about the crap thats real

[ohyouvegotgreeneyes]

love this. cried the first time i heard it live.

[molassesfeet]

my name's melissa, and I had a baby when I was 16 LOL

[soupXorXcritic]

@molassesfeet man that sucks

[Ozzymason123]

wow that song is good writting but wat the fuck is wrong with his voice i know its unique but dude come on man

[SkyblueX10]

Wow, I only just discovered this guy. What a fantastic song writer.

[cosbine]

This is pretty fucking raw

[m4gnutz]

Holy fucking tits I love this song. Amazing.

[Brighteyedsammy]

It can relate to anyone in a way. That's why it's so good. Thats the whole purpose of music

[CapoeiraPiper]

what a beauty.

feelings so pure and bursting out.

[sittm2]

Despite having semi-depressing lyrics... Everytime I listen to this song I hook it up to my stereo and then dance around my house with my dogs.

Pure-unadulterated bliss

[abercutiiiex3]

if only it was my mom's a crackhead, and my sister had the baby. gah, still this song makes me feel better about my life. least i'm not alone. almost brings tears to my eyes.

[jh4124]

The song is great, the performance is weak.

[JonathanWZ]

Never get to know my Dad

[thisisryanblood]

This song is perfection. I can relate to him so much.

[superduper655]

@thisisryanblood i'm with you, on point with dad, mom, friends. myself. paul baribeau is great, i listen to him, defiance ohio, kimya dawson, elliott smith, jeffery lewis, and bright eyes when i work scrubbing toilets all night and it somewhat uplifts me while i'm uplifting fecies off the sides of toilets of a airport. lol

[Oliviacatkitty87]

He'd sing "make me an angel that flies from Montgomery"

You wouldn't be able to fathom how i feel right now.

[LiveFastDieFaster13]

I relate to this song a lot. My sister's a crackhead and it'll be nearly impossible to get to know her.

[senser1080]

Drugs r bad, cept I love mary jane.

[faint52lp]

I love Paul. His songs are so out right, no hidden messages, just flat what he says is what he means.

It makes me want to get closer to the people I have in my life right now, because I could look back like he is and realize I never truly knew that person.

I like that his voice isn't the best voice. It just adds to the whole feeling of his songs.

[nalgo]

I cried the first time I heard this.

Every couple of months I'll come back and listen to it.

Paul Baribeau still makes me cry.

[quinnofearth]

this song always almost brings tears to my eyes

[thehun184]

So what Paul...you're better than everyone. What's wrong with working in a mall?

[kreisveldd]

but this is depressing

[PeripheralSenses]

Paul's lyrics are so relatable.... well, at least they are to me.

[erasemeaway]

Pretty much in love with Paul.

[Clemyntine]

This deserves way more than 10,715 views.

I love this.

[kioskia1]

Paul Bearibeau makes me jizz in my pants!

[ThePlanetSmasher]

Amazing. I'm in love with this.

[kr3wd1228]

paul baribeau is one of my new favorite songwriters

[WeWereWhenWeWere]

im legit in love with this song. its so heartfelt and raw. <3

[15twentyLTD]

This makes me smile. And shouting has been so much fun!

[thegetupkid330]

Oh, and smartestchild, to make you look like an ass, i would just like to let you know that your name "smartestchild" gives off a sense of you being pretentious, and I'm not sure how much Paul Baribeau would enjoy that. But go on and preach your heart out.

[dinarchus]

I love his music, but I have to point out here that Baribeau is TOTALLY pretentious.

[jabbafo]

i hope you learn

[jabbafo]

this song makes me want to cry alot

[XcontemplatingropeX]

I cry in sadness at this song, but it still is amazing.... It shows emotion, something that Lady GaGa will NEVER achieve!

[peaceandphlover]

dude its no homo -__- if u understood it u wuldnt b all offended by it. its harmelss..and i love the homos. more power 2 them. chillax

[smartestchild180]

Paul Baribeau wouldn't appreciate people saying no homo. That shows contempt and distaste for homosexuals. Something that artists like him do not condone. Love is love.

[totti724]

how do you know what paul baribeau would or would not condone. Shut the hell up.

[spoonforleg]

@smartestchild180 and also if someone really feels the need to put "no homo" at the end of a sentence, they're a homo and trying desperatly to hide it.

[Robusticity]

@smartestchild180 Saying "no homo" implies that what you're saying isn't homosexual. It has nothing to do with "contempt and distaste".

[TheColdWeatherPilots]

@Robusticity it's' distasteful. Especially since Paul's gay.

[hagur]

this song is so sad it makes me want to cry

[SlapsterMcPhlash]

i love this no homo haha

[MattMacedo85]

Perfection.

[DJD3SS]

Paul (L)

No homo.

Ha I feel like such a G saying that.

[MeepRRDied]

he's ok at the beginning but then his voice sorta starts breaking especially when he was singing about his mom.....

[hamsandwhich25]

I like that about the song, it shows emotion..

[HEYMYNAMEISCARL]

I think his voice is breaking because he's crying.

[IPunchBabiesPl0x]

@HEYMYNAMEISCARL He says only babies cry ;o

[allaboutkreutzer]

because a sold voice throughout constitutes good music...

[Itsenoughtosay]

I love Paul Baribeau.

It's such a sad song.

[MIkeyBlane]

If you're gonna but a paul baribeau cd get it from plan-it-x records

i creid the first time i heard this song, great music.

[grease342]

i know about his old dot same ere ! i was going the same way but got in shit wid the police and am repaying to the commuinty still drinking now and agsin tho

[jagertime420]

great song

[revolution889]

wow this song is amazing! im so happy i found this guy!

[202zach202]

why would u listen to the song if u did'nt like his music, blacklamb5 is a douch!

[twigbark]

You just can't appreciate anti-folk music.

[202invaderzim202]

i hate people like that

[202invaderzim202]

fuck you , hes amazing, hes deep but playful, if that doesnt sound gay

[homsar1988]

It doesn't at all, dude. No shame in being honest.

Paul Baribeau is beautiful.
