Looking At The World From The Bottom Of A Well

[pvoss92]

long live Mike Doughty!

[IkotheSwarm]

This song makes you beat loneliness in so many ways! The only way to beat it is to bat it down!

[GivenchyParisFr]

Bones 1st Season. Ep04 ''The Man in The Bear'' :D

[MFiebig]

Heard this on NPR... Thought to myself "This sounds like Soul Coughing" Then they said it was Mike Doughty .... I love it!!!! I honestly thought Mike was dead lol.

[Pankulives]

Amazing how a good video can make a good song better. damn!

[ikravchik]

Amazing how a bad video can ruin a good song. damn!

[BoscoBurckhardt]

"Look here, you mess with me, you get the horns."

[unvorsum]

Is it me or does he look like he's masturbating at 2:45?

[michaeljamesmccabe]

I suppose that, "Umm nnnaaa", isn't an actual lyric, but I love it just the same.

[tjunicyclist]

only one wors can describe him. "God"

[cenayoucantseeme]

saw him for the first time at the press room tonight...he was amazing!

[krispyfry023]

his voice is great and he is soulful! love him

[xibjulous1]

do you think he knows that that's not how you plank?

[bilethezombie]

I want to dedicate this to you, Ashley. Love Always!

[xxcaroe4xx]

Grey's anatomy <3

[laswellale]

@xxcaroe4xx

[XristineL22]

[xxcaroe4xx]

@laswellale 3

[bdecampc]

I only heard this song for the first time the other day and now I can not stop playing it...it is so goddamn good

[Peacenrespect]

Damm !,,Gotta work ,but I can recommend this cool dude from Soul Coughing at Club Helsinki Hudson Ny Friday March 11'th 9PM

[TheVatlas]

MIKE DAUGHTY 4 FREEKIN EVA ALL WHO AGREE U ARE OFFICIAL NOT SEVERLY RETARDED... UGH SORRY "MENTALLY DECLINED"

[TheXmas50]

@TheVatlas What are you, 7?

I mean sure, he's great, but that's no reason to be stupid about it.

[Scraight]

I still want to know what decathecting means.

[Maxables]

@Scraight To decathect means "to withdraw one's feelings of attachment from a person, idea, or object, in anticipation of a future loss."

[MrAngerybanana]

i remember siting around with my dad and mike when i was little just watching them play music together.

[beatchef]

Reminds me of the video to Just by Radiohead where a guy spends the whole video laying on the floor....

[broski1993]

Honestly, Soul Coughing was the shit back in the day and now his solo stuff, pure genius

[Drhlony]

First time heard it at Grey's anatomy - the Show , it was awesome !

[MegaTenant]

 his voice always unique-- but the music... not soo good,, compare to other things he did-

[yepitsbrian]

I didn't even know that there was a video for this song. I still prefer the demo version that was released on mp3.com when it was a VERY different kind of website. Keep it up and come back to Athens.

[rogerlux]

i'm 36. i had had kinda forgotten about soul coughing until our drummer gave me an old bootleg. did some digging and wound up here...i'm FLOORED. m. doughty is mighty.

[kwa8591]

sometimes i feel like just lying down in the middle of the road yano.

[annetteburns67]

Saw Mike perform this in Rockland, ME last night! Holy Sh*t, what a show! Thanks Mike & Andrew

[Dagger33]

@annetteburns67 He must have been there around the time he did the Freeport show. Which was also awesome.

[oblivion31]

@annetteburns67

Where in Rockland? My mom lives there.

[annetteburns67]

@oblivion31 Grew up here, know lots of people. Now live in Owls Head.

[oblivion31]

@annetteburns67

Cool, I lived in Rockville up the road from Lake Chickawakee for a few years. Where did you see M. Doughty play in Rockland?

[garymarksmusic]

I love the song. The arrangement is unbelievable. It's got incredible energy.

[NutterCalledJinxie]

Blinking. Epic. Song.

[tkj007]

Poetic savant + harmonious talent = pure gold!

[cheezymouseful]

for some reason i just thought about this song out of the blue. i haven't heardt this song in years. what a great song!

[isaiaheaton]

It pisses me off that this song got infected by greys anatomy. My ex used to watch that mindless orgy garbage and I believe that they should all have worked in a ghetto-ass std clinic to treat the syphilis, hiv and herpes outbreaks that they all keep sharing with each other in the incestuous F**K circle of an office set that they poorly put together with cardboard and crayola watercolors.

[ericpaci]

@isaiaheaton tell us how you really feel?

[Pouscat]

I think he has gotten better since the Soul Coughing days. He has one of the most original sounds I have ever heard. All you need to hear is a couple of riffs from one of his songs and you know its him.

[jessicajh]

I wish Itunes would let me buy this.

Stupid 'Album Only' Crap.

[Galifett]

@jessicajh That's why you need limewire. lol

[PrivatePwnage]

@jessicajh buy the whole album, I'm certain you won't be disappointed

[atasteformusic]

soul coughing was the bomb

[simplethunder]

That solo is sooo fine. So laid back and relaxed, that's always what I feel when I'm listening to Soul Coughing / Mike Doughty

[legendarysuperfreak]

Nice!

[Almosvok]

GREY'S ANATOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[palomaortiz]

Tht´s amazing!!! I heard it in Grey's, and I love it. <3

[OriginalRyanitus]

So different from Soul Coughing. Yet still so good.

[dudelikesWoW]

Looking at the world from the bottom from a well, eh? Sounds like Samara's theme song. Just kidding. Mike Doughty's great.

[ikopiko909]

I know for a fact he got high when thinking of making a song like this.... It's fucking cool.

[ak7wyf]

for a fact uh? how's that?

[ikopiko909]

Go get high faggot.

[ak7wyf]

i did bitch! so now what?

[ikopiko909]

GET HIGH WITH ME THEN BITCH!

:D

[ikopiko909]

p.s i said when THINKING OF MAKING a song like this, not when he wrote the song, so you fail.

[OffRobert]

I agree, ikopiko999.

[cheeseburger10101]

who gives a fuck if he was high or not!?!?!? just listen t o the goddamn music!!!!

[geeb310]

a great alltime song folks!!!

[blackuscatus211]

i heard this song on grey's anatomy and looked it up. now i can't stop thinking about it!!! it is awesome!!!! this song has been stuck in my head (in a good way) for two days now!!!! i love it sooooo much!!

[swirlcrop]

I love this song.

[videostrategies]

Very cool song, very tuneful and his lyrics and singing style are sly in a way that I really like. Some of the people in the video look totally unrealistic, which doesn't fit the song, but that's a minor thing.

[elrhiarhodan]

How the HELLS did I miss this song when it came out? BOO!

Love love love it.

[sethric56]

Long live Soul Coughing!

[Apostate101]

Hell yeah bro.

[JimFlows]

I used to listen to this song every day when it came out..forgot about it until two days ago when they were playing it at the record store I was in..awesome. gonna check more of his stuff out.

My favorite part was always the end where he does the chorus and the bridge at the same time

[JohnnyQBlaze]

thanks for your detailed description of your interest in this song

[loesje08]

lol xD

[OffRobert]

Your music makes me smile, Mike.

[houseofweirdos]

he reminds me of a little kid haha i love his music

[videojudge01]

so original, and much better than the album version. didnt really like the saxophone. but either way cool frickin song

never forget the first time i heard this song one morning on MTV before i went to school in 8th grade. they dont play ANYTHING like this anymore. its bullshit

[FreaxEntertainment]

@videojudge01

Actually, surprisingly, this past year when I was in 8th grade, they played this song called 'Wait Up (Boots of Danger)' By Tokyo Police Club. Since then, I've been obsessing with this band -- it's not some shitty rap or pop band. And it's local for my area. I mean, indie rock shouldn't be aloud to die! It's amazing. And personally, stumbling upon this video was just amazing! I love this song!

[92soothsayer]

@FreaxEntertainment sup. i'm videojudge just on a new account. yea i'v been also getting into music of this guy's old band Soul Coughing. It's awesome. it's like a bassy jazz music with rock EQ. favorite discovered song so far is 'soft serve'

speaking also of indie rock. yea glad it exists. givs u wut u need musically. ever heard the stuff that Modest Mouse wrote in the 90s? lemme tell u, many more synonyms for amazing! not to mention i didnt even know they wrote that far back until 2 years ago

[TheAdeodato]

@92soothsayer If u liked "soft serve" u have to listen to "super bon bon" It's just amazing! Great Indie times those of the early 90's!

[92soothsayer]

@TheAdeodato oh i'v heard 'super bon bon'. yea its not bad. though to me, 'soft serve' sticks out much clearer. gotta say, its like THE perfect song for springtime. i can feel the breeze that it's wrote about when i listen to it :D

i believe that whole scene of great listenable 'indie' music was pretty short-lived on this earth. it appears by research to hav started in the early 90s and got even better through mid 90s and ended about 2005 :/ sucks. young as i am i feel like i'v missed so much

[TheNinthDoctor]

Pretty darn awesome.

[astavros51391]

i listened to this song in my journalism class and liked it on the spot; can't say the same for my other classmates

[Tflash13]

He loves MN!

[Deanbass77]

Well who wouldn't? We are the best state. :P

[Xiscoinho]

FB song

[freakyobsessed]

god i love this song!! def his best!!cant we all relate to it now & then

[ehc333]

I feel old, as if I am looking at the world from the bottom of a well...

[TheRubikzCube]

Amazing song...

[emoette1]

WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK!!! they killed the fountain.

[Mackeymom]

This song makes me happy & my 4 year old loves it too!

[kimmxx7]

101.9*

my apologies

(:

[kimmxx7]

I heard this song today on the radio, 105.9 I think it was, in my dad's car

and I instantly liked it

so as soon as I got home I googled it then downloaded it

so yeah

it's a great song :DD

[bratlien]

if you like it, BUY it don't download it!!

you don't buy the song, Mike doesn't make any money, Mike stops making rockin tunes, we all lose. cough up a buck!

[lobsterqueen45]

I love this song. I never knew he was in Soul Coughing.

[deckard9011]

I love this sonng!!! The best :*

[cherry2rock]

i looove this song! discovered it recently, beaing featured on one of the grey's anatomy cds.. Love it! cheers me up instantly.

[ellomynameisjohnny]

oldboy there was my favorite musician when i was two or three. I know because there was a copy of EL oso in ab old box with my name on it.

[michaeljamesmccabe]

Doughty is an underappreciated genius.

His lyrics and music are always interesting, compelling, and extremely listenable.

I basically enjoy everything that he has ever done. Some of his stuff I love. This song is a great example of that!

[musicfreak1230]

The beginning of the song reminds me of Dave Matthews a bit.

[xomara28ox]

i thought the same thing when i first heard this song years ago

[musicfreak1230]

I could listen to this song 23863265296695276 times and never get sick of it.lolz

[Moneykid152]

i love this song

[milosz911]

Yeah...!!!

"it's so fuckn great." :D

[NEENJAMAN]

agreed.

[lumsh]

i heard this song when i downloaded grey's anatomy sound track original.... it's so fuckn great... isn't it? btw, check my channel...

[sun0sand0music]

i saw him in south padre last year at the international music fest. awesome!!! its halloween wknd this year so i hope mike can make it again!

[BNLMUS]

just saw him a few weeks ago he is my favorite artist and I am so glad he sang this song it is my fav

[boxofwang]

sick. That's washington square park. i'm happy to say i was ther about 3 months ago.

[kalarit]

whats "decathecting"?

[gandalf802]

the act of removing a catheter?

[clevelandohcd]

the act of removing caring and feeling for something when you know it's leaving, so as not to feel as much pain when it is gone.

[Georgetownguy]

Fantastic. Mike - Go for broke. Keep up the passion. You are awesome and I am here to tell you to do the next album because we love you!

[omshantipeace]

Reminds me of freshman year of college. Good times.

[kayner3222]

i love this sony yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[riotgrl40]

He's comming to DC Sat night! I can't wait to see him! I love this man! (But yeah, I kinda miss the Soul Coughing days a bit sometimes...amazin music there...)

[TheResource1976]

quality entertainment right there

[JimRockXXX]

E as british teefs!

[videojudge01]

this version of this song sounds a bit different from the one i downloaded. wuts the other version called. who knows wut i'm talking about?

[videojudge01]

yea now i know the difference. the one i downloaded used jazz instruments like the oboe. i like this version better cuz it replaces the jazz instruments with the electric guitar. i wonder if where i got the one i hav now has this one too

[shadowenglish]

This is a very cool song.

[McFrosty2014]

This is slightly different from the version i have and the version that was grey's anatomy...

[ghostking78]

What Doughty is doing is fine, but I still remember "Sugar Free Jazz" and it's just not the same anymore.

[apt1]

i have said it before and i will say it again:

this song and video are INCREDIBLE!!!

[hoodrichGMP]

who is this dude son ? i mean cuz the song is fuckin dope man !

[JesusKrispies]

This dude is M Doughty, formerly of Soul Coughing. If you don't know Soul Coughing...well, you've got three CDs of amazing fuckin' music waiting for you to discover 'em.

[chasebizzy]

Haughty Melodic is a perfect album. There isn't a weak track.

[Uchihamadara]

Almost as good as "I hear the bells" :)

Very good song!

[canyousayOHYEAH]

ahh i hear the bells is my favorite mike doughty song :]

[seckles]

I agree! He's got an even newer album out called GOLDEN DELICIOUS (I Think), but I haven't heard it yet.

[mattb7900]

this is awesome i really enjoy it. thank god he is dooing another album. he has really made something of himself since soul coughing

[missa29]

I agree, the best song ever, and he's finally coming to Texas. Check out how cool the lineup is for the South Padre International Music Festival. I can't wait for November to get here!

[2Fast4U0921]

This IS the best song ever. End of story.

[chipedge]

fuck u- listen to u

[2Fast4U0921]

1) I didn't SAY anything, so that makes YOU an idiot.

2) This is a really good song.

3) You are a fucking idiot. Go fuck your boyfriend, asshole.

[DollyMausDeux]

i hear the bells is the best song ever

[adibou12]

[BritskiTube]

Mike Doughty, you rule. 'Nuff said.
