[randy29]

Ana un tango aprendió! 0:59 XD

[dawzy17]

justin beiber should take notes!!!

[brarcadia]

I think he says "Give him love, from the bottom. Open now. Yeah yeah.

[Pesper85]

@brarcadia that sounds dirty.....

[AVFCotterill]

@brarcadia I think he says Give them love, followed by, open arms.

[dadivas1967]

Yeah, great version. What is he saying at the end??? Anyone have a clue?

[dcrusader123]

AMAZING .... WHEW ...

[me2che2]

i love this song so much...i love u howie...

[MichaelJDowney2]

I can't believe it's taken me 8 years to discover this. Thank you, Pandora...

[010295k]

Whats he saying towards the end?

[mrjdgibbs]

That was soulful.

[doomzkie90]

classic! this song will never get old... :)

[silenteyesspy]

it's really sad that he's not that well known, I really love Howie Day..his new EP is out

[arvgail]

SPEECHLESS



[shinkowsky]

wow.. ganda naman ng song. live pa . hehe

[78ecks]

@shinkowsky korek :)

[MESS1492]

Someone needs to shut Paul Shaffer up. He's really annoying.

[lookingood25]

@MESS1492 I never understood why David Letterman keeps Shaffer on the show. I never liked him and he is soooo annoying and stupid. He's a musician, he should know what a rerelase is.

[MESS1492]

@lookingood25 I have a feeling they're secretly best friends or something. He's not very good for ratings, why do they keep him there? ....and I don't think a Paul Shaffer music CD would be very popular. For all we know it might be 30 minutes of his idiotic, interruptive comments.

Bottomline is that Letterman is losing points having him on there. Jay Leno ftw.

[lookingood25]

@MESS1492 Maybe they've known each other since childhood. I think you're right about Letterman losing points because of Shaffer. I heard Shaffer was a very talented musician but when he does anything for the show it all sounds the same.

[MESS1492]

@lookingood25 I think they should rename it : The Late Show with David Letterman featuring irritating comments from Paul Shaffer!!!

[karlg182]

thats a lot of pedals lol i want some of them lol

[kodakansessions]

he kinda looks a little like sid vicious, don't you think?



[24TheBasketball]

@kodakansessions I can see where u would think that lol

[openlid45]

felt like this, this morning for some odd reason i had this song in mind :)

[iluvcokeandsprite]

this song is so good and i like the live version better than the recorded version

[JessicaFan90]

Note Rob Pattinson on the piano.

[benzackry]

@JessicaFan90 really?

[jpm61872]

song is very nice, deep and serious...

[3377spiderman]

this song reminds me back when i starting my barista life.im glad to see this one.

[johnsondo]

sooooo goood!!! XD

[oilHlio]

his one of the best singers who sing songs way better in live..

[1023collide]

 ^_^ love it!!

[MionieEvo]

Wow.. one of the BEST live performances of a song, period.

[ReadyInAMinuteMusic]

Dang, Howies sick! Check out our cover of this song if you've got time!

[TheHuntergoff]

whatever happend to howie day? he was a amazing artist..i havent heard of him being on tour or coming out with a song since a couple years agoo.

[MelPadz]

nice gyud!

[xfajter]

Such a beautiful performance! I think I'm in love :)

[ytxcg]

original is harder to sing but better. lots of studio recorded songs are really hard to sing live. thats why most live performances are different from the original recorded songs.

[reix25]

Great song indeed!!

[bombutt]

beautiful!

[Soxfan1452]

LOVE IT! Such a romantic!

[PerfectPride]

There are so many different versions of this song o_o I cant keep up. >.>;

[musicboxer1]

so great live... i love this song so much, makes me cry sometimes :(

[LiesOnBarnett]

Come check out our cover! My friend and I love this song, we put our own spin on it. give it a listen :)

-Lies on Barnett

[yeahitsspaige]

I go to the same high school he went to, and I know his family really well. I wish he was more successful. He deserves it.

[MrsSweetbubble]

@yeahitsspaige you know his familiy :o? so you know him as well??

[iloverocknroll47]

hes amazing!!

[linsemann1]

good version .....very very better than the ofiicial version :D:D:D

[dtangerine]

guilty pleasure :3

[lillover5665]

I love you Howie day I love everyone of your songs.

[nHUreNa]

im in love with you howie!

[KUKIDOCLUBBING]

Although i liked it...couldn't really hear his strumming and guitar tho :( wonder if it was soundchecked right? wouldn't have thought a live guitarist would want to be totally overpowered.

[TheMangasm]

@KUKIDOCLUBBING It's a perfect mix. The guitar's only minor rhythm and fits in well with the strings. Honestly i believe louder guitar would ruin the subtelty of the song. As hard as that is to say coming from a lead guitarist.

[KUKIDOCLUBBING]

@TheMangasm Not really sure what i was thinking when i wrote this actually?? I think i had listened to loads of other versions where you could hear the guitar strumming.. listening again now you are right it is a nice blend?! haha i must of had a moment! lol

[TheMangasm]

@KUKIDOCLUBBING Hah you have a good point though, us guitarists do hate being overpowered. :P

[KUKIDOCLUBBING]

couldn't hardly hear his strumming!? was their a sound check!

[winter395]

How the hell did 3 people thumbs down this?

[IntoOblivion1693]

@winter395 they mustve missed the thumbs up button. fucking idiots.

[themisplaced]

@IntoOblivion1693 maybe because of his 'awesome' hair?

[MagicTwilightSaga]

@winter395 We can blame it on David Lettermans voice ;-)

[kevinkrouglow]

Love this song! Check out the recent cover of it that I did on my page!!

[971nelson]

It's my favorite song

[OZAWAMUSIC]

One of our favorite songs of ALL time... our band can only hope to compose a song even half as great as this one :)

[lalaa9000]

Howie Kills on this live version of an already great song!

[danawilli05]

I think that it's really neat how the mini orchestra comes in, in the middle of the song. It looks and sounds AWESOME!

[JessicaFan90]

At the 3:25 mark is that Robert Pattinson playing the piano?

[sweetest4life]

@JessicaFan90 no its not. its the pianist that travels with him

[wiesia61167]

Zajebisty !!!!!!

[roncology]

fantastico !

[wachamoviena]

i agree...so much more beautiful than the original version....he's got great voice....the string instruments are also terrific!

[xFreebird13]

what is he singing after the bridge? i cant understand it.

fantastic song though

[jared52]

Yeah, it's a Takamine. Can't post a link but Google Howie Day Takamine and you'll see.

[jared52]

It looks like a Takamine but it's not real clear in the video.

[RunAwayNow26]

amazing song and performance ....please can someone tell me which brand is howie's guitar????please!

[MichaelDaeche]

I love that "I suppose so.."

Fantastic performance. Love his music.

[ArgonautOne]

Awesome!!Love this song and Howie performs much better in this live version of the song.

[danawilli05]

When I first saw this video and heard the song, I got the chills. And the minature orchestra sounded amazingly awesome! How they did that, I will never have any idea. I'm clueless.

[SmileX10]

this song is better live

howie is amazing

[hellagun]

GREAT SONG!!!!!

[iRyanification]

I laughed so hard at his reply to whether his album was re-released. He actually seems like like a chill guy

I wish he'd have put this version on his album

[sarahrules336]

so good, he's great live, I didn't expect that. love this song

[Hirek5555]

zajefajny kawałek...

[saousen888]

the best version!! love it

[marqueshouston93]

Hundred better than the original

[jetscan2nl]

@marqueshouston93 I like both :-))

[jetscan2nl]

@marqueshouston93 The musical arrangement for this performance is just beautiful, yes better than the original. BUT, the shouting in the 3:40 range is a major bummer. Aaaargh ;-))

[MsKaratek1d]

@marqueshouston93 this is the original

[kamilahfernandez]

I love himmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[nigaplzitzron]

best version!!!!

[lsvtec]

this is a great live version.... he came to town once.. gotta see him play it on the same acoustic... awesome dude...... calm...

[karlingen]

Yeah, it's a Takamine EF341DLX :) I also have one. Check it out :P

[Tarasepp]

Please do yourself a favor and buy a guitar that fits your play style not what someone else plays. If your reasoning is that you think it sounds really good well. again mics, peramps, effects etc can easily distort what you are hearing. go to the store. look, play, enjoy. Guitar shopping is the funnest thing to do.

[lponginibio]

is it really??

[DontCropDustMe]

I just love his voice. Another underrated singer. He just sings so effortlessly.

[cmwmusic94]

the guitar he's playing is a takamine santa fe

[ShawnRyan11]

This dude if freaking AMAZING!!!! His new CD is just as awesome as "Stop All The World Now"!!!

[siskandar11]

he's good but not that talented

[mattegins24]

not talented? he writes his own songs

[dmbfannh]

REMARKABLE! Howie reminds me of Dave Matthews. Better live then in the studio

[RestTonight]

he's fantastic live!

[WeynWild]

gosh he's amazing!!! awesome live performance xD

[Mouaronian]

Beautifully Done. =]

[nicklim123]

what does the dude sing at the end really lloud like at 3:32

[vvanill]

the song reminds me the first time we met......

[beefymoo331]

i love this songh cause he sings good and i even wish i could sing like that but i cant hehe

[redxet11]

i really love the song... you hve a powerful voice.. its killing me,Godbless and more power!!!

[redxet11]

i really love the song,powerful voice within.. and its killing me...Godbless and more power!!!

[gtee91]

what does he say at the end? anyone know?

[bluestone431]

He says "Thanks for having us back."

[sarahpod]

wow, he sounds really good live

[0187HYE]

Heard this song for the first time @ coldcase.

After a couple of month I finally found this amazing song!

I could hear this song for hours

[beefymoo331]

i wish i seen howie day in consert i woulda like to talk to him and tell him good job on music

[wildhorses1000]

my favorite song in the entire world, always has been, always will be <3

[jepc92003]

he always look from the side is funny when he look like that, great singer and musician I hear him yesterday at Golden Gate park concert

[jonjoseph90]

love this song...i played it for my lc music practical, nowhere near as good as this obviously, still enloyed playin it though, amazin song

[nickswardsonfan]

He has a beautiful voice - I forgot how good he is. So many singers out there can't hold their own in live situations. Really great

[arrowheadss]

so true!

[bluestone431]

Thank you so much for posting this!  Absolute perfection the way the entire band and string quartet played and the sound quality on this vid is so clear! (I can hear how every instrument can be heard alone and completely merged together). Soooooo good!

[v3rn3n]

His live versions always seem to have so much more passion than his studio stuff.

[muzglimy]

HAHAHA.........flux capacitors.

[DansBandsCaravan]

if you couldn't see the blatantly obvious sarcasm in his comment you are a flaming idiot.

the only dumb ass here is you and the person who asked what picks are.

[smithbunny1]

they're guitar picks, people.

[kolasom]

I think they're 22.5 GHz flux capacitors. Verrrrry Important stuff, that.

[090193k]

haha sounds like back to the future

[herny111]

What are the yellow things on the mic?

[swebbo]

they're plectrums for the guitar,if he drops one its easy to grab another.

[schokobear92]

those are the plectrons for playing the guitar

[allelujah33]

that was reaaaaaallllllllyyyyy good!!!!i hope i could play that in the Cello!! XP

[GoldMageAce]

The string quartet really helped and made the song more beautiful; but overall, you've just gotta love the emotion and the feeling of the piece.

It's just chill and almost feel-good, despite the message cloaked inside of it.

[rcm2469]

If i one day win the lottery, i will hire Howie Day to sing this song at my wedding or b-day!! Name your price, Mr. Day!

[myster4111]

glad to see the real howie day. All i was seeing is that Asian guy. people may think he is the one lol But he can do his thing. Where is Bangor Maine

[rennie1992]

best song ever!

[MattDC06]

[sh2593]

[lmckeel1983]

[JennMandaVids]

[Fingolfin215]

awesome performance by an awesome musician

[JennMandaVids]

how i love this song, cant wait for the new alum!

YAAY!

[xx1420]

Just curious, do any of you guys think he is cute?

[faschen28]

He's not hard on the eyes. He doesn't provoke any physical adoration, personally.

[xx1420]

I see. He's not ugly though right?

[hulahoop87]

sorry I got bored and started reading older comments lol. But I find him to be very attractive. His talent adds profoundly to his good looks.

[serayfoo]
