Like a Match - Jack Conte

[acountsandsuch1]

black and white full screen, very classy

[HEXSPET]

jack. the editing would be cool to watch.

[ax5645]

I WOULD BE HONORED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH YOU!

[ax5645]

Jack, you are an example for every musikal soul out there. Im very inspired by youre production, youre musical accuracy and you incredible timing! I belive in you for you the life i always wanted to live. I am in pro of youre music, because it is real musik.I really cant belive how almost every bit of musik "listened" to around me is so crappy. Of course there are little excpetions, because even in dark times of musik like this one there is a glitter of light, of taste and of real knoledge!

[DanSypher]

OH yeah very good production thx for post ur compo.. ^^

[SuperMegaPeanut]

LOVE the time signature!

4/4 4/4 7/4. Or 15/4.

[yemrots]

Hey I love your chucks and I loves listening to you and your girl while I am working!! I work for Zappos!! And we have loads of cool chucks! When you want your next pair msg me I will send you a 20% off coupon:) thanks for rockin it out:)

[mskudlarek]

This is what I wish dubstep sounded like.

[xuank]

Excelent, who where your influence for this track?

[loudspeaker003]

sounds like The Mars Volta.

[hatmanmedia]

You have such an odd way of moving your mouth when you sing...

[anava84]

Don't do it Jack leave the tweets alone!

[uiop60]

15/4

[pepachet]

Don't do Twitter Jack, you are better than that!

[Evilhamster95]

@pepachet Wow, he's been doing twitter for years now.

[pepachet]

@Evilhamster95 Wow, Twitter is bollocks! :-)

[Evilhamster95]

@pepachet You'd think that but if you start using it you'd realize how cool it is.

[McKieOfficial]

@Evilhamster95 - This. I thought twitter was a bag of balls until my friend introduced me to it and got me a few followers, now I'm hooked...

[RevJoshua]

I think I need to buy Sleep in Color...

[tapetedepadaria]

you lost almost all the footage of the videosong, didn't you?

[animalihavebecomeII]

i seen yer video song commercial thing...x3...i was like omj! i've seen that dude and gal on youtube :P lol

[ReliableInsider]

I think it may actually be technically impossible to have "too much" Jack Conte in your life.

[Shornaidaida]

YOU LOOOK A LOOOOOT LIKE BEN AFLECK.

[JamesMajdali]

@Shornaidaida THUMBS DOWN

[1taz535]

@Shornaidaida I was thinking the same thing! I've heard that Nataly looks like Justin Beiber(september video). I always thought Jack resembled Ben. Nice

[FBWillie]

You probably wont be reading this because of how old this video post is, but have you seen "Wristcutters" If not, you should watch it. I think you would like it... I think. It's not about a bunch of emo kids or anything, just a really different movie. I watched it last night and really enjoyed it. I don't want to build it up, because its not my favorite movie of all time or anything, but it was really good. Anyone else reading should watch as well. It's on nextflix streaming. Watch!

[pianomatteo]

@FBWillie My brother forced me to watch Wristcutters last summer. Fantastic movie! It used to be free on Hulu too.

[airickahkoryana]

Jack pomplamoose is good. come to south dakota

[viewitmytube]

Cool, ... great great & great!

[MrGariac]

Congratulations from France! You're just amazing! Love your voice, love your song and your attitude. Thanks and see you.

[VLTV]

Funny: He melts everytime Nataly comes around the subject.

[loketron]

what is the song that plays at the very last second????????

[JazzHands122]

OH YEAH!

[thenameiwantedwasnta]

Come to Sweden!

[VLTV]

You can count me as an obcessive fan of yours. Just come to Portugal and I'll invade the stage

[juandiegoborda]

genial nunca habia visto este loco

[NarutoMaster016]

you should win the vma

[KittensGotTalent]

Too freaking adorable!!!

[Water93Phoenix]

have I comment on this?? ?.? LOL~ hahaha! Go Facebook~ XD

[JennVOGUE]

best thing i've heard in awhile. especially a one-man band.

fuck.

[Stewerrvideos]

Omg, you're gf and bf.... Music couple O.o?!

[aipdragon]

I know I heard Nataly on a Toyota Avalon. No one knew who I was talking about. You guys rock. And I just Humboldt County like a month ago, good it was. Hope you guys make it to Pittsburgh sometime! Woot

[MusicMasterNo1]

6 idiots

[Acinemod]

It must be so amazing to be your neighbor.

[linkmaster50]

I am leaving for college in August and for some reason, this just makes me very good about all of it. Thanks.

[tophlovr]

Your music always creeps me out but i love it DARN YOU JACK CONTE your more addicting than chocolate milk

[BigNathan2008]

Jack has so much passion in his music! thumbs up if you agree.

[Mr10Lap]

jack=Radiohead+jaga jazzist

[IkeProductions89]

also... you should check out modlife.com- its an easier way to connect with fans if you want to start getting into that.

[IkeProductions89]

you need to hook up with radio head or something

[igiveupigiveup]

Jack is: - perhaps a genius developing before our very eyes - passionate - spontaneous - unpretentious - truly innovative - musical! - a nice guy - generous - creatively honest and undiluted - a guy I would want to work with - living in the present tense Pomplamoose = Komeda+Sugarplastic? Jack = Radiohead+Rundgren? Wow.

[kennyboiih]

whats up with the drums?

i think they don't fit

but the vocals are amazing though :>

[Tyndan]

@kennyboiih Syncopation and Polyrhythms bro. It certainly fits the song, you just need to expand your acceptance of what is considered musical. Listen to Aphex Twin and just spaz out to the beat, or imagine yourself spazzing out if you're embarrassed. It's freeing, and not the same 4/4 beat you hear in EVERY song EVER.

[johntsunami]

this remind anyone of the used?

[dalodeper]

It would be awesome to see all the ideas you had. Seeing how you edit the video songs would be rad.

[lovesGenet]

brilliant. somuch he does  speaks. Inspired me to do something.

[Kemorowolf]

3rd time this week listening to this song with i had an i store account to buy it :'( to bad no physical c.d. is available but somethings just can never be

[darbsllim]

yikes, listening to the Pamplamoose Mix, this is not my kinda of thing, doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the tunes - I'm sure people enjoy it though!

[VampireOutCast]

Beautiful. :)

Definitely a MUSE + Bright Eyes sound. Loving it oh-so much. Thanks for bringing some more great music to my lighter tastes. :)

PS- Ever heard of Steve Conte? My bandmate told me about you today, Jack, and I had thought that's who he meant. If you haven't heard of him before, search up the song "Heaven's Not Enough" by him and it'd be so wickedly amazing if you could find some way to do a mash/ mix/ cover of that song with something like Aphex Twin or . . . Muse.

[butterbugs1234]

well since this was like 2 years ago... can you tell us what commercial you did this for?

[maikeru01]

beautiful chorus jacky.

[baconflavoredgum]

Wow, I think he sounds like Bright Eyes meets MUSE. I dig.

[perfectupper90]

This EP is great.

[peepyourpants]

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRAAAAA

[Skully0585]

I don't know if you have or if you still plan on doing the video of your computer screen as you edit the music etc (I'm a new fan :D ) but if you would like to do that I know of a couple programs that do that in excellent quality.

1. Camtasia

2.Jing (has a free version)

[AidenMcKee]

The editing of videosongs. live stream. awesome idea.

[midgetlovespeace]

wow, you are such a dork! i mean that in a good way...lol...i couldnt stop laughing because you are so random...its perfect...keep on singing and playing...you are very talented

[christaylorwashere]

i can almost hear how you put your songs together. from vs. to chorus

[yenery4]

freaking great man...love it

[aBlastedMassFiasco]

you definitely have an ear for progression, and a range not unlike mine. And a matching first name at that.

I fancy your brain sir.

[EvilKris]

man, the chorus on this song ROCKS.

Totally on par with any Radiohead song.

You and you're girl are like, two gods of music who somehow found each-other. Just a blessing to any of us on YouTube to watch.

Never give it up man, you two are gonna make it.

[chicelias]

i know! i wanna see them everywhere...

[ElPayasete]

Gracias Jack!!!..en España TAMBIÉN te queremos!!!

We love you music!

[disgawsome]

I'm officially a fan. Thanks for loving music enough to give us these songs Jack! Never stop!

[MattGilroy]

Hey, little old on the comment here, but, yes, all of those things are good ideas. I would love to see how you edit your video songs.

[tfcdan08]

damn brotha.... youre WICKED fucking good.... props homie...

[nightmary18]

Fantastic..

[86juanita]

love gives hope and life to this chaotic society....

[ReggieRawls]

I still believe in love, and I believe in keeping my chin up. And though we light like a match and burn only an inch, Ill take it, yes I will. Ill take it!

Those lyrics REALLY hit me. especially the way you delivered it. you are the definition of the word musician.

[urbanescimo]

u should start a band

[Fwixeh]

He is his band.

[mcj3691]

no DO NOT do twitter.

[kaz02648]

hey can anyone tell me the name for the song that is played at the end?

i cant find it anywhere

[mirandaaa1646]

this is painfully brilliant.

[yellowflyingthing]

JULIA NUNES REFERENCE! heck yes.

[katiewhooo]

you guys inspire me to pick up my guitar again and create something extrordinary.

[tonskiimusic]

a tiny tiny tiny hint of radiohead....neverthesless original and fresh....also the chorus BLEW MY FUCKING MIND!

[michalkooz33]

songs from 'sleep in color' are so chaotic, but theres much beauty in the chaos Jack makes ;)

[tracyapps]

1) yes, you should be on twitter. but not just to tell people you had milk. it's great for connecting with people. :) (also good for a quick answer to a question when i'm too lazy to google it)

2) i would *love* a live stream. i'd love to see a day of recording, and the editing as well. :)

[aimster911]

Oh HECK YEAH!!!

You're stuff is AMAZING!

Just discovered Pomplamoose music, you and Natalie in the last few days.... kicking myself for not finding you earlier... making up for lost time!

(little weird?) No not really... just another muso who loves hearing something fresh and creative. Love the inspiration.

ps.... don't give into the Twitter obsession! Stay free! = ]

[RicardoFIyer]

im in to this!!!! Show me the software!! :D

[zacknaaron]

I like it when you do stuff with Nataly. Not a fan of this one. Your grill scares me and it looks like you are painfully trying to push out a hard turd.

[Staydol]

Hi Jack, Twitter would be helpful to keep track of your video songs..just put up a link! I would LOVE to sing with you---maybe someday!

[Reaper478]

2:56 to 3:07. So beautiful T_T I've never heard anything like it.

[Reaper478]

By far my favorite Jack Conte song. His voice is so powerful and so awe inspiring. Just.....wow

[Schepsel]

A girl in a diffrent class of my school always steals my iPod to listen to this song during my sigarette break. xd

She's always like: 'this sounds like.. something you can dream.'

I'd say that's a compliment, your music isn't that familliar. You have an unique style.

[trav4guitar]

OMG, Cigarette,., C-I-G not S-I-G.  When did they let 3rd graders smoke anyway!

[Schepsel]

I'm not a third grade student, but thanks for the compliment.

And excuse my typo, It's spelled 'sigaret' in the Netherlands so I just got used to it.

[1957Stratman]

Jack, your technical and musical abillities simply astound me. I'm 52, and I simply love your music and your videos; You sir are amazingly brilliant.

[rman1994]

hahahah this was posted on my birthday. great song.

[Tyndan]

Sometimes your music sounds like the future.

[NeutralNewt]

@Tyndan I lol'd. It's so true. :D

[Chainsaw20x7]

@Tyndan The future is just ripping off him.

[GUILLEHORUS]

nice! it take me some time to find that the begining is in 5 bits (and i`m a musician too). sorry my english, i`m from Uruguay

[TheNocensors]

gordons jewelers

[LittleBrinnieeeeGG]

"So Ill love her like I loved my first, Ill laugh until my stomach bursts, Ill dream until I turn to clay, and Ill be okay. Okay, okay? Okay. Okay? Okay."

you sir, are an excellent writer.

[pocalujmniewdupe]

this is so fresh and unusual. wow... i'm going to watch more :)

[RandyCreates]

Wow! I was searching and reviewing guitar and vocal pedals, came across this dude doing a demo. Love this stuff! Why in hell don't you have a recording contract? Dude, seriously, you remind me of the fact that a new artist comes along that is not mainstream, yet its popular, and we humans love it! If we lived near each other, we would have to hang (Seattle here). Love it! Love it! Love it! ps your gals voice is awsome too!

[TamaraVitch]

LOL, by the way you're adorable hhaah

[TamaraVitch]

Why is that? Is it because he's dedicated and passionate about his music?

Yeah your comment makes so much sense, douche bag.

[01Nikolai]

The studio i work at did the audio for that movie

[Matrix29bear]

You are a painter with audio.  You see a big picture, composite-mix in the overall and lesser running themes and create a wonderful result.

[yourlippy]

That is being posted on my fridge.

very nice choice of words my friend.

[SpaRroWzim]

@Matrix29bear Couldn't have said it better... audiographic music!

[jaybird1905]

Still my absolute favorite by Jack.

You'll be huge one day bud, keep it up.

[gonztastic]

No! Stop it with the All-Stars! Those shoes are too cruel to your feet, then you went and got 'em in GREEN?!? Remember cool points, Jack? Well, I hope you enjoy your shoes and your plantar fasciitis. ;) I kid...-G.

[djh3mp]

REALLY cool!

Reminds me a little of "Climbing up the walls" by Radiohead, at least the first verse.

[myownfreeworld]

that high note at the end was intense

[noleyone]

Jack. All of your songs are amazing!

[oldmajor22]

That movie was gorgeous! Thank you.

[Sanchez350]

As of this comment, this video has 14,466 view. About 13,000 of those are mine. =)

[Reaper478]

I say about 7,000 are yours. 8,000 are mine.

Best song ever!!!

[jconnell17]

anyone think he sounds like conor oberst?

[boitelle12]

His lyrics yes, but his sound no.

[sweetnessonice]

Lyrics, yeah kinda. His voice i s like Conor's, but better. That's the only way i can think of wording it, so nobody get offended.

[dudette1650]

"OH! I got new shoes!"

I think you and I should be friends :]

[Sanchez350]

Wow, this is genius. Every single sound belongs and they just all combine to make ear heaven.

[tmv91]

dude looks like paul giamatti.

i like the music.

[uraniumgrenade]

Very Radiohead-esque, I love it.

[Zoltan411]

yeah, sounds a bit like climbing up the walls.

[Evilhamster95]

Haha, it's like, impossible to sing along with your songs.

[cosmicknight]

heh I know what you mean but there is a part that wants to

[hippiegirl2789]

god i love you! all i can say is GENIUS!

[lukeyboy5]

Brilliant, so different.

[idiotfangirl]

you are as of now my favourite artist

[johnbriggsmusic]

I'm assuming you're asking about the verse. It's a measure of 7 followed by a measure of 8. 15/8, if you will.

[yer0c]

This is hurting my brain because I can't figure it out: what is the meter in this song? The chorus seems to be in 8, but I can't figure out the rest!

[jizzy00jarsh]

i think the web cast things were good ideas

if you keep the commentary going so we can know whats going on :]

[AzureHvn]

EXCELLENT! The music just comes and hits you from everywhere then the lyrics touch you, even harshly caress you. Great, great, great!!

[helenbrook]

i love your teeth=]

[AnitaCal]

I live in Humboldt. Humboldt street in Buenos Aires. Is that a movie about my street? :P

[daspinmonkey]

YES!!!!!! to all of the above on the streaming things!!

[WaffleFrie]

"So I'll love her like I loved my first, I'll laugh until my stomach bursts, I'll dream until I turn to clay, and I'll be okay."

Those are possibly the greatest lyrics to any song I've ever heard. By far.

[cranie4]

Jack, Live webcam during recording a song is always cool to see. Just let us know in advance so we can plan for the time difference and all that ;)

Twitter: Really seems to devolve into the "I'm drinking milk now" type stuff after a while of using it. However I have found people use it to immediately send out stuff like "I'm going to go to the Starbucks on such and such now if anyone wants to meet and talk about stuff"

Anyway you're a media artist...so more media is more gooder right? ;)

[diberch]

mr. conte you got the guts and the skill.

cant get enough of your music and videosongs!

keep it up!

[TannersRoomLive]

amazing mr conte

[bentrece]

i love you musica. thanks jack!

[ThisPerfectSeason]

I love your music and singing so much emotion and i love how you get into your music, i can see how much you love making and writing your music, ill post some of mine soon.

[BleedingxBliss]

jack.

this song is AMAZING. and the lyrics are awesome! such imagery, i've fallen in love with more of your music.

[blarfgaincentral]

Ach! New Music!

You make my brain receptor go fuzzy with happiness.

[vasp99]

I love this music and am really glad I subscribed.

[LOSSWOOD]

Shame, I missed it too!

[greenpurpleorangesod]

ahhh. im one day too late for the webcast.

[inflames07]

I think vocals should be turned up a notch. Amazing song, as expected from the great Jack Conte :D

[Renulph]

I'd very much like for you to edit songs while on video and explain what you're doing and the effects you're applying. That's just me!

[RedRobster]

I haven't used Twitter but at first blush it seems like a waste of your time & energy. I know and I don't need yet another web site to monitor and take care of. Regarding all the other video ideas, I think 'all of the above' is cool.

[MoxxyPrime]

Haha! I loved the look on her face when she walked in the door.

I think you should definitely have a video showing you putting together a videosong.

IMO you shouldn't twitter. I think if we start to see too much of you, it might get creepy. Like that movie: The Truman Show.

I really enjoy your music and purchased your album as well as 1 for my brother and 1 for my parents. Please continue to produce fresh and original work.

Unf. 3pm CA time is 5am Tokyo, so we can't watch you live :*(

[saymawa]

TWITTER PLEASE. :)

[ChlorophormPerfume]

Man. So many musicians could learn a lot from you. You're so modest too!!

Congrats to you and your girlfriend on the commercial. That's awesome! :D

Twitter seems bleh.

[soulpumpkin]

really great stuff man...your music is freakin' awesome!

[mtdecker00]

could you be more fucking amazing?? I just sit here in awe

[blizzrd578]

Wow, stellar song. I still think you should play Oh Hell for the webcast, however.

[UpthereMusic]

DO A TUTORIAL!

plz jack?

[JUMMMMMMM]

LOVEEEE this song so much

holy crappp

i sorta forgot about how amazing your music is after listening to so much pomplamoose... i mean i love pomplamoose too, it's so great, and nataly's voice is pure bliss :D

but there's definitely a few awesome elements that your music has more of; such as your VOICE. can't believe i almost forgot how amazing your voice is.

and you have the similar kind of tone as muse which i am digging SO much

don't ever ever ever stop being a musician

:)

[WaffleFrie]

for the record, this is my favorite song from Sleep in Color

[bigblink]

Twitter and the like are lame.

[xxkarate]

That beat the drums are making...it's pretty strange, but it's good. Your song is growing on me for some reason. At first I didn't like it because of the beat, I thought it was weird, but now I think its good. Your voice is amazing.

[infamouswriter]

I love the gestures accompanying the "oohs"

[RurouniRuss]

You rock man.

[doobiesnax]

i have green shoes as well

[TheRemon]

i liked your vids and your music a lot. but now i think, they all sound too similar.

[TheMightyGastronaut]

Conte '08!

[whiteknives]

Get Twitter! It's great if you want to broadcast about a new song or video.

[Octosemi]

Your probably going to get clobbered with traffic because your work got mentioned on Wired today. In fact, that be how I finded you. Glad I did 'cause not only is your stuff really @#$%ing good, but your girlfriend's is as well. I know a lot of people would love to see your editing process, so gabba go go on casting a whole day. keep it goin full st(r)eam...

[donLassito]

The new album is awesome. thanks jack.

[brentoned]

A webcast of an entire recording session?!?

That would be AWESOME!

Of course I would get absolutely no work done that day, but hey... there's more important things in life than work right.

Do it! Do it!, I dare ya!
