Last Straw-Jack's Mannequin

[MelanieEtc]

andrew mcmahon said in toronto on january 31, 2012 that we have permission to illegally download this song ;D take that sopa

[katty81690]

what the fuck is wrong with this font

[white23demon]

are you guys positive this is not something corporate?

[ailsamairi]

@white23demon it has some of the same members , so it is quite similar :L

[hellomarsxx]

@white23demon Andrew McMahon is the lead singer in both bands, he also writes a lot of the songs for both Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, but this song is a Jack's Mannequin song.

[daazninvazn131]

why does a woman need a man? I have a plethora of thoughts on this too O_O btw why are there only 296 likes?  im gonna have a plethora of worries about ppl not knowing good music anymore...

[hjf11393]

@daazninvazn131 you just learn that word or somethin?

[daazninvazn131]

@hjf11393 more like remember than learn :D I should start using grade school vocabulary again; the vocabulary taught in middle and high school are often forgotten and replaced with words and slang that makes you sound like someone with Tourette syndrome

[Ricchalen]

Repeat = Replay -face palm- I didn't know that! ... >_>

[SparklyTwinklyShiny]

are those elephants at 1:20?

[XDDuckie]

@SparklyTwinklyShiny Horses

[Glong09]

@malygoat its by jacks mannequin.

[XxDrummiinxX]

[hungrysoap]

@XxDrummiinxX FREE REPEAT BUTTON------> 0:00

[newsgirlamy]

[zome10]

@newsgirlamy no... XD

[simonart06]

@newsgirlamy your Dyslexic or collor blind.:)

[Archaos92]

@simonart06 If you're going to insult him *** You're either dyslexic or colour blind.**

[chrissyski925]

so sad

[gingerkazam]

He never got his sweaters.... :(

[erikaavilees]

@gingerkazam and she never wrote him letters :(

[gingerkazam]

@erikaavilees Sweaters are very expensive these days. :(

[ingzingaingi]

I'm so damn glad he got through the cancer.. It's so good to know, that there's more of this to come; the stuff that makes you realise life is worth living...

..that you can be alone, but we're together in that too....

[Midna333]

Sleep is obviously punctuated by zebras.

:D

Enjoy and check out their other stuff!

Peace,

<3

[CoalmineXIII]

For the record...This song never fails to make me appreciate life, and cry...I don't care if you think I'm dumb or whatever, but just saying, as much SHIT as I've been through, this is true beauty, and this is the world we live in. I digress,

[tiffylikesjiffy]

"I see Arizona stars from here.."

[itscooltobecool01]

I can´t believe all Jack´s Mannequins songs are this amazing. Andrew really is a genius! But why the hell do people watch this video just to thumb it down? Just wondering :P

[marinoxx93]

love the font. oh yeah and the SONG!! <3

[cocoandzoe]

"at least he had cancer"?

fuck you.

andrew mcmahon is fucking amazing.

[Jessica1017Leigh]

So.

Fucking.

GOOD. :D

[emmagine15]

this is such a great song. :) :)

[SomeIncredibleDude]

I wish people around me heard or knew about this band, no one knows who they are so I can't ever talk about them xD but theyre so good?!

[xtpinkgoddessx]

@SomeIncredibleDude You should move.

[adtrfan4l]

when he talks about the president he is not talking politically "how did he become the president he is talking about the general way that men or people become controlling in others peoples life. he may mean it politically but he has so many hidden messages in his songs that i think its a possibility

[jkonu2]

@adtrfan4l 99% right but it is a slight bush bash, it was the cool thing to do in the early 00's lol

[JordanOverkamp]

WTF

[KlikDavid]

i love arizona...i miss it, its got the most beautiful night sky ^.^

[k95mason]

What does this even mean? "I see Arizona stars from here, but Peter Pan is miles away."

My favorite part: "I won't wait for you forever, while you run around like JFK. You watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life. I'll be damned if I am going out, I will not go out that way."

Mm, Jack's Mannequin! <3

[BerlinerWest]

don't ignore song's intentions, i think they sometimes are most important. this is speaking through art

[blurry0908]

Jacks Mannequin is all about not taking life for granted.

[jkonu2]

@blurry0908 yep , this dude was dying while he wrote this er he atleast had cancer

[HappyEmo1000000]

Holy crap when it said JFK I was on a different tab doing my history homework on John F. Kennedy. O.O

[HarmlessHuman]

i love this song♥

[fallinbbyangel888]

gosh, this speaks to me <3

[boyslikegirlsthunder]

I have been a fan of Jack's for four years. I love Andrew and his music more than anything. It helps me through so much in my life and I just...rely on it for so much. I don't care about his political opinions, it's his life. I think he's a truly beautiful person, inside and out. That's all there is to say.

[sanne120496]

YAY :D

[dover166]

ha-ha look at all the long comments ima end this short to be different

-later

[vlippy]

who cares if other people like them? its not about being different, its about the music. its really selfish and impossible to explain why you'd want them to be less successful with their music career if you really appreciate the music.

[shadowspiritghost]

i feel like this vid is so awesome. I love this vid and the lyrics. Jack's mannequin is by far my favorite band. I love their vocals

[kayladawnxo515]

When he did it live during Bush's terms he would say:

"How did that mother fucker become the president?!"

It was towards Bush at that time but not written about Bush =)

[meowmixza]

um, definitely Bush...

[skatecanoreo]

was this written for obama or bush idk when it was written

[Sody222]

@skatecanoreo well it was written during bush but i think its more about the general corruption and poblems with government...or maybe im just reading into it to much but yeah bush

[1111forever]

@Sody222 You are right in your interpretation sody. Andrew has said its not meant towards any one president and that its him more so wondering how does one become the president

[crazybri95]

i hate how nobody i know knows these guys! jack's manniqiun is by far my fav band and i love their lyrics they mean something and they play there own music and andrew mcmahon has an amasing voice! they arn"t one of those bands that add a bunch of bs to there songs! <3

[miggypufc]

@crazybri95 same here! its so crap.

[musiclover848]

you are awesome I feel the exact same way and Jack's Mannequin is my favorite band too and hardly anyone I know knows them and I never hear them on the radio:( And ya they don't add alot of bs to their songs which is great :)

[DevinGoesBARKx31]

Why would yo want a bunch of people knowing about them? I feel the less people that know a band I like the better. Because then you get all these new fans that claim to be fans for years but in reality don't know what the fuck they are talking about. And Jack's Mannequin doesn't belong with the shit on the radio.

[fetterStern]

Well, there's that, but if more people know them they could probably make more money - right? They could reach more people with their music, and I simply can't see how that's supposed to be a bad thing. Sorry for that.

xo

[ChaseDisgrace]

I'm in a band, and you have to understand that reaching more people is a HUGE part of it. Touching lives is one of the best parts of music. Besides, people can claim to be huge fans of any band, popular or not. that's irrelevant.

[DevinGoesBARKx31]

I'm all for a band getting bigger. I have no animosity towards any band gaining exposure. It's the fans come along for the moment but throw the band to the side after a few years. It's the ones that aren't true fans and i'd hate to see people crowd Jack's Mannequin concerts who only know a few songs. I think as a band they should always want to do it for the diehards

[ColeeBeth]

I love rescued.

[ocbaby7]

hey sry but can we maybe not turn jacks mannequin videos into political debates? just enjoy the songgggg

[WhatTheBrittany]

darn right!

[BasketballMusic13]

@ocbaby7 lol srry

[HannahMileyhater1496]

good song. begging is kinda weird. but still good.

[alltimehighmusic13]

this is random but i love ur name...

[moonlitstrike]

I'm trying to decide what my favorite song by Jack's Mannequin is. It's either Caves, Last Straw, Orphans, Dark Blue, or Hammers and Strings. Maybe Cellular Phone....He has too many good songs.

[flameboy235]

im casting a vote for dark blue

[moonlitstrike]

hmm...it's so hard to chose! XD

[7xXwhysoseriousXx7]

caves is epic, hammers and strings is just an amazing melody, and also kill the messanger is one of my favorite ones

[moonlitstrike]

yes, caves is very epic :)

[ocbaby7]

caves is epic. its so complex, lyrics and melody- in a good way.

[crazybri95]

haha those are all my favorites too and bruised! all really depressing ones!

[singlobloopityblop]

How the hell did Bush become president?

[Pinch002]

The American public voted him in, most people learn this in a basic high school civics class. Dont knock democracy.

[jadonjadon1515]

Actually the American people didnt vote him into office in 2000 since he lost the popular vote.

[babiballa82]

For everyone commenting about Obama! This was about President Bush. Nice try though republicans :p

[BasketballMusic13]

yeah but obama aint doin a fancy job u know

[mrawesome15]

damn right he's not. anyone with a fuckin brain knows that. but most people just like to watch desperate housewives and Cnn these days so go figure.

[chainswimmer]

download?

amazing song (:

[wexknowxuxluvxus]

howd you get this song pleez give it to me

[danceandski4ever]

i love this song!!

[aquiredude]

ahhhhhhhh, so good

[809marco]

what´s vicodin?

[oOFamousLastWordsOo]

very strong, but addictive, pain medication

[jillianau08]

not "very strong" you dont know what youre talking about

[oOFamousLastWordsOo]

it is strong, you don't know what your talking about. (lets just say it certainly isn't like advil or tylenol. lmao)

[bmxjouster]

Diazepam (y) lol

[Renozo912]

a type of medicine

[IHeartTipees]

a pain medication

[Andri1222]

it's a painkiller

[bmxjouster]

a strong antidepressant

[WithoutxFate]

If you want an addicts definition. It's an amazing pill that contains the addictive substance, hydrocodone, it makes you feel like a king, but as you come down you realize the reality of it all and nothing has gotten better. Don't fuck around with prescriptions. Seriously, trying to kick an addiction is horrid.

[orangecolors]

you are so right its not even funny

[Anim3Fann]

Jack's Mannequin is the best !!!

MAN, i love his songs :D

[ILyssaaa]

where did you get this song? i want it.

[spazdog27]

I LOVE Jack's Mannequin!!! x)

[JBloverFiona]

"i thought about the president, how did he become the president"

Ali: "WHO OBAMA?"

lmao

[oOFamousLastWordsOo]

(JBloverFiona) Actually this was written when Bush was president, but whatever. :P

[MrBlueTangerine]

"When I think about the president.... How did he become the president."

LMAO

[Kayla40103]

What font did you use on this video?

[GollyGeeCece]

The song makes total sense to me.

"without you i don't have a place that's safe from all the monsters that hide in my head and sing me to sleep"<3

[sonicemi]

Great song! I hadn't heard it before, but it's awesome =)

[hdogggie009]

i would be glad to mark down your comment =). and ask how you think they are talentless when you should read the other comments posted on here and for their other songs. first of all, why were you listening to this if you think they're awful? and also, i would like to hear your song and see if it's really better.

think before you speak.

[belsoccerlover9]

"i see arizona stars from here

but peter pan is miles away."

i lovee that line and this song :)

[BunchiesLuveBanjos]

OMG I love that line too! Very well written, this song. As is all of their songs. I loove JM

[TheCullenProduction]

Lol.

"How did he become the President?"

I *love* this song.

[CupcakeLove16]

What was the text that was used?

[kellydog88]

anyone know what font this is?

[notyourmartyr]

I wish I did.

[missxcaliforniaa]

HAHA andrew hates bush too. :D

"sometimes its all that i can do when i think about the president. how did he become the president?"

lmao (:

thats like the funniest line ever.

amazing song, should have been on eit

[dancinlilchikita]

thank you for this video

ive been looking for a simple one of this song with the lyrics

=]

[JMluv33NickJluv]

do you think this was about kelly? cuz they were broken up at that time. and now there married.

[rasberry43]

HES MARRIED!??!

[JMluv33NickJluv]

no really?? yes a lucky girl named kelly.

i like that line: without you i dont sleep,just dream :)

[BunchiesLuveBanjos]

?! HES MARRIED?!

[JMluv33NickJluv]

lets go over it one last time. YES HES MARRIED. like 5 people sed that. yes, he is. to a girl named kelly.

[BunchiesLuveBanjos]

Yeah I looked it up. They are SO cute together! It's so nice that through everything bothe of them had to endure as a couple, they make it through they make it work. Aww

[JMluv33NickJluv]

yes, they are such a cute couple. i used to be like NO ANDREW MINE!! now i respect there amrriage

[Ranyx55]

Did they actually go through anything? I'm not an expert on him but I don't know that they went through anything too extreme...

[BunchiesLuveBanjos]

Well, I mean he had leukimia, and with her worries for him and his struggle to survive, that would seem enough for me. There were other things, I believe, but that was most major.

[Ranyx55]

Oh ok... see I didn't know that. Yes that would be enough for me too... thanks for the info :]

[BunchiesLuveBanjos]

No problemo :)

[AllieLuvsTwilight]

yea her name is Kelly Hansch-McMahon i did a 6 page report for english on him!

[BunchiesLuveBanjos]

Impressssive. Nice Heeh

[iluvjah2]

i stayed home, took a vicodin. sometimes it's all that i can do when i think about the president.

xx

somethings i will never understand

why a country needs a god and a woman needs a man?

xx

"this is the last straw," she said. "i will not wait for you forever."

-best lines ever :D

[DRAMAAAAKWEEN]

i looooooovvvee this song!!!

[jmonta21]

Actorchild, Andrew wrote this song right after the 2004 elections. (=

[freesamples4life]

I love that. Where can you get this song?

[actorchild]

HAHA

"Sometimes it's all I can do when I think about the president"

[mesayhi999]

omg ive been lookin 4 this song. i luv it. i happy now!!

XD

[amyinarms]

lyrical average, but since they are lyrics and not words fixed to fit a rhythm they stand out as positive in an increasingly meaningless forum of art.

[BreakMyHeart13]

this is one of my favorite songs by them, thank youuu =D

[cmalvs25]

lol @ the zebras.

great song (L)

[bumpsetspike13]

what are those things that show up between verses? are they zebras or something? great song by the way.

[bob1the2bigg3]

omg i love the song

[rossxglue]

"without you i don't sleep, just dream"

one of the greatest lines i've ever heard
