Freelance Whales - Hannah

[chirpyfication]

rose tyler and the tardis?

[Slyfan09]

Got this album a few months ago... so obsessed with Freelance Whales now. <3

[JOEYnoJUSTU22]

Had this song stuck in my head for the past week thanks to iheartradio. Just today remembered that this was Chuck Criss's band. Ran to look up the video.

[SearchingforDakota]

This music video is pretty great in theory but I can't get over how the words of the song don't match up with the timing on the mouths of the singers.

[CheckNate22]

3:23... it looks just like... her

[Jasondnga]

The songwriter is without question paying tribute to sufjan stevens with this song. More specifically his song Decatur. With very similar pacing and even the line "...go congratulate her" is mentioned in both songs. Being said, this song is still very fresh and beyond great :)

[lucywa13]

OH my Godric, Darren was right. This band DOES rock. The Criss family is far too talented for their own good. <3

[TrueGoldenArrow]

43 dislikes? what is wrong with people

[rockerckick10]

i love this song not only because my names Hannah but because its just awesome :)

[FunnyLyricss]

Like if your only here because you typed in the name Hannah. (: My names Hannah.

[dewdroppedrose]

This actually reminds me of the music in the Hanna movie...which sucked badly. The only good about it was the music ;D

[TheGodOfMusic88]

@dewdroppedrose That movie was so fucking dissapointing.

[omjitsamy]

gahhh aaadskhfglasdgj they are amazing

[bluerose451]

I love this song! :D

[shoeluver1991]

Darren Criss sent me here <3

[lilyscreams]

<3 Oh my god, I love this song :3

[emily9752]

Supermegafoxyawesomehot+amazin­gtalent must run in the family.

(This video had 666 comments, sorry for ruining it.)

[xhannyxx13]

love this song<3



[hannahatlarge]

I like this song for obvious reasons.

[immaGerardWayaddict]

This music video is beautiful *0*

[xTheKingOfAllCosmos]

How did I find this song? The cinematographer for this video happens to teach a film class at my university. Came across the video when my filmmaker sister was raving about how awesome he is. I dare anyone to beat that. :)

[meedy92]

@FreelancewhalesVEVO Can you guys please do a Christmas Single?

[mOTherFUcken21]

These lyrics are so ingenious:D needs more views!

[BANskatecrew]

my girlfriends name is hannah <3

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

I was assuming that I'd end up liking these guys because Chuck is Darren's brother, but boy was I wrong. They're actually really good. Their music is different and has this incredible vibe to it. I love it!

[ILiveCloseToTheFloor]

I was bored one day, so I looked up my name... Freelance Whales are now one of my favorite bands. XD Of all the luck.

[NoName21234]

1, this sounds like another song but I can't figure out which one. 2, it looks like they're playing the tardis

[SuperQuin2010]

@NoName21234 postal service rip off?

[kandicemariejenkins]

@NoName21234 does it remind you of fireflies by owl city maybe?

[NoName21234]

@kandicemariejenkins you know what it is! (not that you care haha), it reminds me of Noah and the whale! finally figured it out lol :)

[theizzyroad]

Geez. You want to know how I found this song? I looked up my name on youtube. This was the only song I liked. This was a LONG time ago. Darren who? The point is, high five to people who liked them before they were cool.

[timothyjames21]

Cheers freelance, I was at work when i heard this lil number, It came at the right time, I almost quit before hearing this song, didnt understand a word at first, but its a beautiful song. Be well.

[everlasting9292]

Why is everyone talking about how they found this song/band, like it matters? Yeah, I'll admit, I know about Freelance Whales because of Darren's interview with Ellen, but obviously that's what he wanted or he wouldn't be promoting them everywhere. Seems like he's getting the job done! And he's right when he says this is a great band, I want to buy all their music (: Keep it up Lady and Gents (:

[SiriuslyStarkidHP]

Yeah, I'm pretty pumped to finally have an awesome song with my name in it. The pickings were pretty slim until Freelance Whales came along. This song is literally about my life. It's almost creepy. And in case you're unsure about this band, the entire album is amazing.

[hrmusicislife]

@SiriuslyStarkidHP my thoughts exactly! there has never really been a good song with our name in it! LOVE!

[drewbeee86]

That kid is so ugly

[AllTimeLowHJD]

FINALLY! A SONG CALLED HANNAH THAT IS AWESOME!

[holdenhatesphonies]

I was born with this song in my head. I am so original...

[iHannahM]

How I found this song? I typed in Hannah Lyrics because I like listening to songs with my name in them, and than after i sorted through all of the LOVELY. hannah montana songs, i found this <3

[TearsBehindSmiles]

Since everyone else is posting how they found them, Hannah was free on iTunes, like, a year and a half ago, maybe two years ago. I know I was a sophomore and now I'm a senior. I absolutely love this song. :)

[srodd21]

My spanish speaking mother hums this all the time occasionally tries to sing it...<3

[everlasting9292]

@srodd21 That is adorable (:

[PainReliverADVIL]

i found out about this song on my own. not by some one elses video. :)

[MrEtharian]

the song and band popped into your head magically?

[PainReliverADVIL]

@PainReliverADVIL -_- no..it was in the side bar of another video. therefore..i found it my self

[raggedychiaanarchy]

this is a song that will get caught in your head for days, but in a way that you don't mind ;)

[QueenyKay]

PS 22 Chorus video brought me here & I'm glad they did!!!

[oneninja8]

This music is so relaxing...and beautiful!!

[mark95427]

found it on "best indie rock songs"

then i searched for it on youtube.

[LiveFastLoveStronger]

I found it on an internet radio station...

[wijee4]

I found this song because of Youtube, lol k.

[santathewiseone]

the only bad thing about this band is that they only have one album...so far!

[EternallyConfuzled]

this song keeps growing on me more and effing more

[lalaland7407]

i know nobody cares, and this comment is probably going to get spammed, buttttt i dont care(: so here goes:

my name is hannah!!!:D

[SonarStarsofLight]

I was asleep one night and I had the TV on and Jump Start was playing but it was on mute so I couldn't hear the song but I woke up and saw this and was scared as fuck. I thought this was a horror movie because that blonde chick was seriously creeping my ass out. Now that I can hear its tune I'm not scared but when I look at her face too long I get creeped out.

[nologicforemotion098]

hard day...turn on freelance whales...sit back ..smile no matter how ur day went :)

[BeaverfeverJr]

some of the lyrics turn me off

[digimonFTW22456]

Hannah is an alien?! *Gasp!* 0.0

No? ohhhhhh...

[dobbsiancant]

parts of this remind me of parts of 'come on feel the illinoise' by sufjan stevens...

[mbm767]

0:52 Zero from Holes, what are you doing here?

[Shoelessawesome]

@mbm767 haha you mean hector zaroni :)

[falsepretensetrja]

@mbm767 that's not hector.. hector was a cute lil kid.. that guy's eyes were too close together

[immaGerardWayaddict]

@mbm767 Dig it oh, oh, ohh~

[meg19han]

@mbm767 bahahah

[Calgurl10]

so is she from the other side of the looking glass?????

im seriously trying to figure this video out.

Ahh anyway I love this song I've had the "lemon now or later" part stuck in my head for a while.

[enterthroughthedoor]

@Calgurl10 hahaha. the first time i heard this song i wasnt sure what it was called and just kept singing that part over and over and over. its my favorite line!

[bseadip1]

I didnt know Rj Burger was there lead singer?

[Th3Girlz4ever]

My name is Hannah... Lol

[weirdopeople75]

I know a Hannah... Does that count?

[SicklySweet1992]

Its Just So......Groovy XD <3

[Riley5Sully]

ok here r some annoying comments. have u seen this in 2011? i never get any thumbs ups? my favorite part is when they say... and some nonsence about justin beiber.

[MinusRhythm]

My name, well, Ana... Close enough? >.>

[SayHey2TheEarth]

My music teacher's ex is one of the band members!

[mollrox531]

1: Damn. Darren and Chuck are both super hot.

2: This song is freaking amazing

3: I'm not afraid to admit that I came here because Darren Criss talks about them a lot. I'm just happy I did come here, cuz there music is amazing. :D

[HannahMNowell]

My name's Hannah & I was introduced to this band & song by someone fabb<3

[OceanAcross]

I'm vaguely attracted to rooftops..

[zmaster334]

I first heard this song in Chicago at the Hard Rock Cafe'. Ive been in love with it ever since...

Cause I got a Vocoder that day ^_^

[MrTroubleshovel]

this is greater than great

[MrsIndependant09]

Darren Criss is in the band?! Holy crap. This makes them 10x better xD Ive always like their music :)

[OceanAcross]

@MrsIndependant09 His brother Chuck is in it. Not Darren.

[lillop3]

thumbs up for when the music was good, the bands were original, and the lyrics made no sense!

[nabsjoker]

her nose is jacked up XD

[nabsjoker]

[ildchptfjr]

They are amazing! I wish I could have gone to Coachella. But noooo. My mom wont let me go to a 3 day outdoor concert where there was definitely booze and drugs. Loosen up a bit mom! Lol... I just wanted to go to see them because they are never on tour!!!

[HannaJuneAntoinette]

[SexyLovePanda11]

[borostyan707]

like if you dgaf about how people heard of this song and wish people stopped caring about being so hipster ugh.

[josephgrovers]

@borostyan707

You're mad because you found out about freelance whales from starbucks commercials or that car commercial.

[niginai]

Whenever i hear that first line of the song i think of that episode of Regular Show

[Jazzygirl864]

damn commercials.

but it's worth it. Cause it's freelance whales. <3

[goldeyes45]

I Loved this band way before darren criss said it was his brothers band =D Love this song <3<3<3<3

[theamazingina]

the boy who follows the girl looks like the guy who plays "Zero" in the movie Holes with Shia Labeouf

[KekeFrog16]

@theamazingina That is EXACTLY what I thought the first time I saw the music video:)

[GutierheroExpert]

Hm.. I don't know but it kinda does...

[Emerezilion]

If you like the music, why does it matter where you found out about it?

[HannahOverlie21]

Thumbs up if your name is Hannah(:

[itstoofragile]

THEY ARE AMAZING LIVE :D

[AlyssaRenee116]

thumbs up if you dont care where you found out about this song, but are glad you did

[sallyheartjack]

@AlyssaRenee116 EXACTLY how I feel about this song.. found it in the most random place where I usually don't find any songs I like.. but I'm so happy I found this

[3verythingZFunny]

@AlyssaRenee116 where did u found out bout this song im confused? lol

[OGUIEEZY]

Who gives a fuck where you came or didn't come from, just listen.

[SydLyn220]

Seriously thanks to Darren- my-brothers-band-is-awesome-cr­iss, I cant quit listening to this song!:)

[JennaBird981]

This deserves so many more views, it's amazing. (:

[drew324]

thumbs up if u were curious where Fat Trel got the beat and sample for "Freak a Melody"

[parkerbing1]

this is my favorite song now

[09bonita09]

What is the name of the rap song that sampled this?

[drew324]

@09bonita09 fat trel freak a melody

[09bonita09]

@drew324 Thank you love!

[neonasians]

omidam. i was in paris at their hard rock cafe 3 days ago, and this song/music video started playing. i was freaking out because apparently, they know good music.

[missdelta121]

haha 36 people are player haters!!

[rmsoccerchick]

This is the first indie band I've ever heard. I got really excited about indie music after buying their album, and I looked up other indie bands, and I just can't find a single one that is even close to being as good as the Freelance Whales. I'm still searching.

[rr0208487]

@rmsoccerchick I mean really? Local natives for one. Sufjan stevens as well. Grizzly bear is another. Great independent music is not hard to find

[rmsoccerchick]

@rr0208487 Thank you, I will definitely check all of those out! If you have any other recommendations, please let me know!

[suppusan1]

2nd most played song on my ipod :)

[lowercaseification]

would everyone stop talking about darren criss and just enjoy the music? he and his brother are two separate entities, and darren has nothing to do with the freelance whales. listen to them if you like them, not because a celebrity told you to.

[Toms2bomb]

I actually haven't been this impressed by a song in a while.

[olgap35]

This video is brilliant, and the song is amazing. Nothing more to say.

[NeverScreamGoodbye]

36 people got stuck in the elevator or got pushed down the stairs.

[saya4haji]

Had to look up who Darren Chriss was, 'cause everyone was saying he sent them here lol xD

[xohollisterco96]

heard it in hollister never heard of them but now i like :)

reminds me of the fair and the romance of meeting a girl there :)

[MTFoley13]

It also was played in Kohl's...very cool!!

[soccerchic365]

the last two times i passed Hollister...this song was played. i think this is Hollisters favorite song. its not gonna make me go in...but its still cool

[dance2butterfly]

this played in hollister. made my day.

[GutierheroExpert]

This is a Masterpiece.

[futurefairytale89]

I liked this band because I thought that they sounded REALLY unique and pretty. They just seemed more awesome when I found out that it is Darren Criss's brother :D

[Hannah18398]

I lovee this song and the fact that its my name :D I was in hollister one day and heard it for the third time and i kept singing it in my head. 

[JennaBird981]

I can't stop listening to this, its that amazing <3

[something456456]

THAT'S THE KID FROM HEROES

[DarkFallen16]

i got this song on my ipod from the free song from i tunes not how i pictured the songs video but i love the song!!!!!



[Brelovesyou16]

I fell in love with song the first time I heard on Jump Start! Thank you so much Jump Start!!!!!

[tehNarwhals]

hehe. I remember when this song was first put up and none of the comments were about the criss brothers. most were jokes about the singer singing into a glowing robot dick and people saying how their name was hannah....

[acidrespawn]

i heard this song in hollister. i asked the cashier what the name of the song was, then i bought a shirt :D

[wetseal169]

Heard this in Forever 21 and had to find it!

[Jkr4Evr]

Thank you Hollister:)

[Rawrbilynn123]

Forever 21 showed me this song!! (:

[LittleWeapon17]

im pretty disappointed that this is in hollister stores,

i found out about freelance whales from coachellaaaa

[TheRealAchilleZ]

Shazamed this song in a Hollister store. Love it.

[flomobaby12]

i <3 this song!!!! and yes, my name is hannah :)

[Gbazizable]

i think chuck should be the lead singer!

[LuckyFeathers23]

OH MY GOD MY NAME IS...not Hannah.

[That0little0witch]

@LuckyFeathers23 my name is Hannah... =<

[peypey594]

@xo0Hannah0ox Yeaa I work at Hollister and the songs are all on like a cd. Stay in there long enough and you'll hear it ;)

[xo0Hannah0ox]

Thumbs up IF YOUR NAME IS HANNAH and you LOVE this song! <3 (:

[Xnigga13]

@xo0Hannah0ox HA, no one thumbed you, no one cares



[xo0Hannah0ox]

@Xnigga13 HA, you replied to me, and no one cares

[avengedsoulx]

I've had this song on my computer for months but never bothered to upload it to iTunes...can you say stupid? Freelance Whales is the SHIT!

[pinkpensive]

I heard this in hollister today, and woah, I had no idea Darren Criss' brother was in this band. Small world.

[cookiebuddies]

Anyone come here because they just loved the song, and then were given the pleasant suprise of the Criss brothers?

[bjorkismyhomie]

late night boredom on amazon.com listening to new music = discovering awesome shit like this :)

[THEgirlONfiire]

ok i LOVE this song... and i just found out that Darren Criss' brother is in this band... SAY WHAAAT? no wonder this is amazing! Criss bros are so talented

[peypey594]

Thank you Hollister for introducing me to this song! :)

[xo0Hannah0ox]

@peypey594 Shut up! I wish I was in there when they played it.... My name is Hannah. Hahah i would have DIED

[blueblazer52]

Hollister brought me here. I never would have thought one of my most favorite bands did this song! <3

[AgnusObel]

i am glad this is the first thing that comes up when I search Hannah. :)

[xo0Hannah0ox]

@AgnusObel me too! Not Hannah Montana. ew

[kikimoki79]

the Music Video is Insane! haha i love it

[nikcole07]

One of the best shows at Bonnaroo! And they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! I could have talked to them for hours.

[tgmacoubrie]

anybody else think the little kid looks like the main kid from Kazaam with Shaq?

[TheCoreyhlltt]

@tgmacoubrie yeah, after i saw it i looked the kid up cause i thought maybe that's his son... sure does look like him though
