Aloe Blacc | You Make Me Smile | A Take Away Show | Part 2

[mkeii]

why'd you guys serve a copyright takedown on the other, abbreviated version of this video that was on youtube, have to skip through the preample everytime i listen to this now. #fail

[jakemo4242]

I just watched Aloe Blacc's "Official" Video for 'You Make Me Smile' and it is almost disrespectful to this video and live music. just saying. Sooooooo much better live. No justice done here at all.This is THE OFFICIAL VIDEO! You can't recreate the blonde lady @3:55 swinging back and forth with her baby in her arms.

[ThatHippieVante]

Aloe Blacc is cool as fuck ! 

[Romagneto]

So Beautiful songs, voice, music, and work for the sound in the middle of the crowd in Saint Michel ! It must have been a lot of background sound around ! Beautiful work ! Bravo !

[Klimseven]

The Bill Withers cover is one of the best things I'ver ever seen. And I've seen a lot of good things.

[lolookphor]

hahaha. "so... how rich are you now"?

[ladylovelace61]

@lolookphor Well, he got that dollar he needed, and a little extra. *is shot for corny song reference*

[lolookphor]

@ladylovelace61 :| a slap is sufficient.

[FernsVideoArchive]

Oh, that's just lovely good.

[agnespires]

just loved this version, has become an addiction to hear

[misslucyfelix]

voice of an angel if i ever heard one, he's so effortlessly good, always puts a smile on my face

[Hazellarack]

You made me smile! Whoooa what a voice, kudos to you young man!

[wujifuji8]

i want to be the clap guy!

[d1mos]

the routine just smiled

[studentben]

@ LaBlogotheque  what was this filmed on?

[LaBlogotheque]

@studentben on drugs. oh, man

[WillyJacobsExpress]

take your headphones off you burke

[encipencii]

this is the music. with people and musical instruments :)♥

[EdwinM1211]

I downloaded this album for free just to listen to it, and even though I already have it, I'm going to purchase it bc I want this talented man to continue making music for us.

[meon11]

very good song

[jamosensei]

Lyrically, artistically, musically and Soulfully awesome!!!  Hard times never sounded so good!

[DebtROC]

Oh man I got goosebumps when they started playing Use Me.  Real nice.

[stateofmind111]

thank u for doing it

[RoseGCapina]

A Take YOUR BREATH Away show

[RoseGCapina]

I can't stop watching this.

[Capretta20]

2:26 that blonde lady has the best WTF face lol

[Dakine09ify]

4:30 its steve jobs

[Dakine09ify]

aloe has his own genre of music its called inspirational music 

[broxa69]

17 people stepped into shit when they're hearing his voice, forvige them

[CkEOdimen]

why is Aloe so serious singing about being happy?

[ImTheAsianChick13]

@CkEOdimen At the beginning of "You Make Me Smile"? That's because he's talking about how he's having a hard time with life and then he starts to smile when he sings about you make me smile!!! lol.

[GorgonDrageil]

I just watched both parts... They changed my life. Made me wonder: how many of us are living in a daze and missing out on the beauty of life?

[ArohaFetuisLOVE]

Amazing! Can't wait for Aloe to Come to New Zealand in FEB!!!!

[IPesmerga]

@ArohaFetuisLOVE HES COMING TO NZ?????????? WHEN AND WHERE????

[mikeymikums]

great video..the base is shredin love, the soul coming from these jiving sounds on the bill withers cover!

[NeoSync05]

How did I miss this?! What a song, and what I singer! Clearly 17 people don't know what real talent is!

[NateStona]

you know what i dont get...why dislike a video? unless its really really bad, why not just leave the video and not have to post that you dont like it. makes no sense to me...

[thesoup07]

the most soulful guy ive heard in a long time

[antalogia506]

i still don't ge it how can the people still walking around, if they are playing o.o

[bykp]

@antalogia506 maybe they should fast until the destination :)

[SteveHughesful]

He has the lyrics wrong for the first verse, but wow.

[rhaivaen]

@SteveHughesful Maybe he did that on purpose, life music does not always conform the original written piece of music, even if it is by the same artist.

[SteveHughesful]

@rhaivaen Maybe, but maybe he just didn't know the words... I'm not saying artists don't change things, nor am I berating the performance! It's a really nice version of 'use me'

[rhaivaen]

@SteveHughesful Sure, no worries :+)

[rhaivaen]

@SteveHughesful Sure, no worries :+)

[rhaivaen]

@SteveHughesful Sure, no worries :+)

[21warnabrother]

one word > awesome*

[unnamedminor]

you make me smile :)

[AvatarHigh]

I love how he's singing about smiling and his face is so straight. Perfect.

[bonniegbonbon]

He sings so incredibly effortless

[patricklus77]

That little lick in the beginning sets the tone for the whole vid. So tasty. Please make more like that

[pepperoniseas]

Girl with a red scarf, what's up with the pokerface? Aloe Blacc is standing right next to you, giving you a free concert. Geez. Haha

[JayWalk7]

I Have the CD version and a download link on my page. :)

/watch?v=xsAsbcioYd4

[sjfromlv]

I dig this song soooooo hardcore...

[lowfat422]

The guy in the headphones @11:25 needs to take off his headphones and listen to Aloe Blacc.

[ElizaMogha]

So, you make me smile is an original song of Aloe's??? Man, it has the quality of the real soul era!!! I got a bit confused on the desscription with the cover and all. Could someone help me, please? ("You make me smile" is an original Aloe song and "Use me" is by Bill Withers, got it right?)

[t000000x6]

@ElizaMogha You got it. Aloe Blacc did "You Make Me Smile" and Bill Withers did "Use Me"

[DubInACup]

Somewhere Marvin Gaye is smiling

[sulouh]

amazing music but shot in some poor attempt to look stylish, poor focusing etc

[xMPCxx]

Aloe Blacc looks like Candyman lmao but I love his soulful sound!

[babismos]

Perfect voice and soul...Touch my heart!! Thank you!!

[deejaygrub]

how do they get the sound so clear on such a busy and windy street?

[filistar]

So cool and effortless

[1JustinBurkett1]

Ah yes... REAL music.... everybody listen

[TheSdzephyr]

[elliottlaurens]

Did anyone else notice @4:21 the guy with the camera turning to take a picture of the father and son, then the dad turns around and there's an awkward moment? xD

[MC21ification]

I like the momma holding her baby and singing to him. so sweet and such a good mom.

[betawicupu]

I love how people actually smiled in this video.LOVE.

[OCCounts]

Aloe Blacc - Would you like to come to Steamboat Springs, Colo. and perform?

[xKaiKanEx]

Brotha, you made my day.

[schugs99]

This is my favorite video on youtube. I wish there was a way to learn this on guitar.

[Jah044445]

@schugs99 F, Fm, Cmaj7

[schugs99]

@Jah044445 thanks a lot

[Jah044445]

@schugs99 @schugs99 Actually, I think Dm-Fm-Cmaj7-C sounds a lot better.

[schugs99]

@Jah044445 wow awesome thanks man

[arktikaantarktika]

Love the concept. Great job

[CardosofRed]

magnificent

[salmamang]

15 dislikes??

[ArchieGe]

Superbe Channel Merci Beaucoup !!!

[Shaowolf247]

is there a part 3 of this?

[mainforce88]

WOW, I LOVE THE EASY GOING VIBES...THE DIRECTOR IS BRILLIANT.

[colinsolalcardo]

@mainforce88 thank you !

[bogavis5]

u maaake mee smiiiiille..

[Diamond1809able]

AWESOME

[uptightkid]

Great performance. Great production. The key effect ot this video is the natural reactions of the passers-by to the band's performance. I suspect that some (or all) of the camera work was done on the sly. Cinéma vérité.

[we3andhe]

amazing! what a voice!



[littleangel1991]

FXJSHXBGCVJBJHVVX!!! He is so incredible

[mattharthello]

im a giant bumder

[spikeonaseat]

so glad he's done 'use me'...

[Exhume2Consume]

can some one get me the chords the guitarist playing on this.

i tried to pull them out of this video but to no avail.

it would be greatly appreciated! i will ship you a painting in exchange!

[JohnFenomenon]

damn where can i get chords for this song?

[htmlst]

he stand there as if he is one of the crowd.. it looks fun and natural

[FightingTheWitness]

what kind of camera did you use to shoot his? i love the effect

[INT3RNAUT]

@FightingTheWitness I think the effect is done in editing, but I too would love to know what they did, I really like the look. Hopefully someone tells us lol.

[colinsolalcardo]

@INT3RNAUT yes, I have a special technique ;) no digital effect though, it's a camera trick. I might explain than further later but I'll keep it "secret" for now, until I can perfect it.

[loganmarks89]

Brotha got mad soul....

[b455ybw0i]

15 people clearly have no one that makes them smile

[sloga123]

in my opinion, Aloe Blacc is one of the best artists captured by LaBlogotheque. Couldn't watch all of the videos - most of them are simply kitsch.

[alkatim77]

simply amazing... it is as it should be.. both the story and the artist. Fantastico!

[tankmillard]

He really shined on his cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come".. look it up. You'll appreciate him greater.

[twinoak170]

This is the best thing I've heard in a long time.

[twinoak170]

I could listen to this all day.

[11unfortunately]

YOU make me smile, Aloe Blacc. YOU along with your constituents Blue and Exile

[paddyhayes82]

Journies begin, journies end. People living their everyday lives. And it all makes me smile

[hiredmusclemen]

I bet a brother gets so much nani

[sereneking]

Does this videography remind anyone else of an Edward Hopper painting? It's kind of surreal especially from 9:40-9:50 ish. Or does it remind anyone of a different painter?

[overgronE]

haha bassist looks like a youthful hipster geddy lee

[melimelo0602]

goosebumps, havent heard such a voice in ages, so naturally talented

[keysersozeh]

you make me smell?

[phishboy93]

3:48-3:59 couldn't have happened at a better time

[VinylAthletes]

You Make Me Smile is one of teh best songs I've ever heard! Simply beautiful! It's on heavy rotation and I just sent it to my girl. Thanks Aloe!

[hunterthemanvox]

slapa da bassss. hes a badass bass player. Love this band.

[paddyhayes82]

The blond milf made me smile.

But this song is fucking beautiful, really is.

[alrf48]

If I was there, I would stop and listen. All those people had somewhere to be and that is the saddest thing.

[040youth]

So much soul in his voice, loveit

[hhoeflich]

Coming to New Zealand! Fuck Yeah!

[theMaj0r1337]

so beautiful, i wish i had the tabs for you make me smile :(

[Klangemotion]

i really like the overdriven bass.

[edgaristtod]

la blogotheque dvd box set with everything you've recorded by now. and with every half a year or so a new edition comes out. i'll so be buying it.

it's quite impossible to do that i guess, but in a perfect world...

thank you so much for your work. ♥

[useitmUsic]

its so amazing how he makes it seem so effortless for someone to sound that beautiful.

[orangeorphan]

wow, what a voice!

[YOUENNNN]

Aloe blacc in Paris. That's pretty awesome.

[gustavocovarrubias1]

those are the talented people that are not seen only in the shadows of the celebs

[MelleB90]

Oh my fucking freep!

That Bill Withers cover! Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iilliant!

[dos21977]

THAT was amazing.

[stbrockz]

the guy at 9.35 does not feel comfortable :O

[JcGrubbsFilms]

The shot of his face as the camera follows him from 9:45 - 9:58, is an amazing shot. Him just scanning the crowd until he finally turns his back. Gave me chills

[HereToFav]

Liked "You make me smile". Seems like singing is so easy for him.

[xsvflow]

The guy @ 11:24 with the headphones pisses me off so much. Who wears headphones while he's singing his ass off right in front of him??????

[ChristiaanGrammer]

i am a fan, love the live jamsessions

[snioool]

really amazing......so disappointing that his first single is such bullshit

Suelem wants Aloe for a sweet serenade, blogotheque! If you could do her that favor, she's a future visual artist, she wants to paint an oleo of Aloe while he sings for her!
