  • to quote bernard fanning, "ben lee is a precocious little cunt"

    thank you very much.

  • I heard this on Life Unexpected. haha boo yah.

  • I was bought here by my ability to follow amazing artists like this one and find good music, not by some pathetic franchise about a girl's choice between necrophilia and beastiality.

  • @coyoteskylarker Wait did they really put this amazing song in a disgrace like Twilight?

  • see Ben Lee throw like a girl! 2:48

  • like if you heard of this song from sarah dessen's book "along for the ride"

  • whose this fag in the white suit?

  • This song just makes me feel like I'm a fool!

  • OMFG I LOVE YOU BEN LEE <3 <3 This Song IS The Best I Can't Stop SInging It

  • this is just a great song.

  • My sister will hate it, mind you, she loves Twilight but she hates Ben Lee!

  • I'm not a massive Twilighter (have read the books and seen the movies though), but I'm glad this is on the Breaking Dawn soundtrack as it'll bring more popularity to this amazing singer. This song is among my very favourites.

  • Thank god Graham Colton brought me here and not some gay movie.

  • Thumbs up if Breaking Dawn was better because of this song, because deep down, we all know everyone on Twilight cannot act if their life depended on it :P

  • the first time i heard this song, it was one packed to the rafters, and since the, it has been one of my favourite songs :) i'm so glad that it will be in breaking dawn, but i'm glad that i knew it before the movie :3

  • I miss the guy who sent me this song. Dave.. message me please!

  • global warming bitch!

  • Contunuity: When the guy throws the water bomb he's throwing an orange one, but when it hits Ben the bomb is blue.

  • @LittleMissLozenge Not "continuity" but "continuity error" actually.

  • Comment removed

  • Water balloons are fun!

  • Not a bad song,better than most crap on the radio.

  • lol, Miley Cyrus @ 0:57

  • This is my favourite song to sing. I just wish I was better at playing it.

  • Life Unexpected loves Ben Lee...and he performed on 2.05 <3

  • dont get me wrong, i love this song..its beautiful...but it doesnt make sence when u listen to lyrics lol.... i meen i get hes usuing metophores and romatisism but couldnt he have worded it didfrent? lol still a great song though :)

  • @ImTheLlama couldn't you have worded your comment a little differently? And by that I mean using coherent English?

  • @kaaatederksen couldn't you not be completely rude? FYI that was coherent english tyvm, i happen to know english verry well so if you didnt understand that, im sorry for your inconvenience but thats your problem, not mine. please keep ruse commentarys to yourself.

  • my boyfriend sung me this song....i honestly cried.  :D

  • ...

    They play him.. on the radio.

    And that's the way he likes it.

  • amzing song..and meaning too...love it!

  • @iammadedeath *cough cough* judging by your name I'm guessing not much goes into your ears that is alike to ben lee but i believe that music that you call "mindless strumming" is what most would call peaceful music again I'm guess someone that calls themself iammadedeath doesn't catch that to often but i have a feeling that you may want to :) just a thought

  • @serpant242000 Peaceful music?

    Save it for my funeral.

    On second thoughts: don't.

  • @iammadedeath You shouldn't let it bother you that one guy is making lots of people happy with his music, whether it's your thing or not.

  • @ProfessorPooglet It bothers me that so many people like his music because he treats his audience with contempt. I've seen him perform, and it's an insult to music fans.

    Seriously, liking Ben Lee is the music fan equivalent of being a Scientologist (without the chance to fuck Katie Holmes).

    If you like Ben Lee you don't like music. Full stop.

  • @iammadedeath I've seen him perform too, and seen him in interviews, and he always seemed lovely to me.

    I can prove your final statement wrong right now: I love Ben Lee and I love music. All kinds of music.

  • @ProfessorPooglet I'm sure he's a nice person, but his shows themselves are an insult. I saw him five years ago in London: the crowd was 99% smug, suburban professional dullard expats. And he played a 1000 capacity room with an acoustic guitar and some girl on a casio keyboard.

    Seriously, you don't come to London with just an acoustic guitar. Unless you're Michael Gira. But he gets a pass for not sucking.

    And I don't think you like all kinds of music. I think you think you do.

  • @iammadedeath I just don't understand how that's insulting or worthy of your anger. You don't seem like a very happy person overall, which kinda saddens me because it means this conversation will probably going nowhere. I just want to ask, do you really think he is worthy of a deathwish just for playing music you don't like? How exactly can such a thing drive you to want someone to die?

    Gonna reply again 'cause I can't fit everything in one comment.

  • It seems illogical and unfair to judge someone by their fans, imho. I believe it's best to judge an artist by their art alone.

    Heh, well, you're free to think that, but I don't think you quite understand my meaning. I love music as an art form because it is a free and beautiful form of expression. I love all kinds of music on the principle that they are music. I don't necessarily like of listen to every kind of song there is.

    However, I do love a wide range different kinds of music.

  • @ProfessorPooglet I'm a perfectly happy person most of the time. When I hear Ben Lee it makes me want to put a gun in my mouth.

    Good music makes you feel alive, Ben Lee makes you feel dead inside.

    Good music is like vindaloo, or peppercorn sauce on a sirloin rare steak or taramasalata on wholemeal pitta bread. Ben Lee is like a whitebread sawdust sandwich.

    When there are so many people going all out to make great music, why does Ben Lee get rewarded for being so smug and mediocre?

  • @iammadedeath Your use of the second pronoun makes me uncomfortable. I feel as if you are telling me how I feel. Don't.

    I don't understand why you seem to think Ben Lee has set out to personally insult you. He's doing something that makes him happy. Whether he's smug about it or not is really his own business.

    I didn't set out to argue with you about whether or not he's a good musician. That's the complete opposite of the point of this conversation. I was offering you some friendly advice...

  • @ProfessorPooglet I was using the General You (like 'tu' in French), to indicate not one person but people in general. If that makes you feel uncomfortable, you kinda need to get over yourself (Specific You in this case, see the difference?).

    Ben Lee didn't set out to personally insult me. I doubt he would even if he knew me. Because Ben Lee is such an egotist happy to indulge his messiah complex through the medium of mediocre song I really don't think it would occur to him.

    That's *my* point.

  • @iammadedeath Hah. If Ben Lee's music makes you want him to die, and you think that you have a right to tell him how you think he should act or play, then I think you need to get over yourself.

    We'e definitely at an impasse here. You've shown yourself to me to be a violent-minded person and if I come across you again I will make a point not to make myself unhappy by speaking to you. Much as I do love to have the last word, I consider this conversation over from my point of view.

  • @iammadedeath Just for reference ... "vous" is actually the general you. "Tu" is the specific one. Might help your credibility in any future arguments.

  • @Elelwyn Well pardon my High School French. My fine detail was wrong, but the big illustration was correct. But I will remember the difference.

    Because when I'm wrong, I'll always accept correction.

    But we weren't arguing about French Grammar, we were talking about Ben Lee. And when it comes to Ben Lee, I stand by my statements. Because I know that I am 100% correct.

  • ...live and let live. Ben Lee isn't doing anything to harm or insult you. It's okay to let other people like what they like, even if you can't comprehend why they do.

    Good music is to the ear of the beholder as beauty is to the eye.

  • @ProfessorPooglet As someone who has paid money to see him play, Ben Lee should listen to what I have to say. Because when you stop listening to customers you start being irrelevant.

    As for being violent minded: I'm not advocating breaking his hands with a clawhammer so he can't play any more boring, overpriced acoustic shows. More suggesting he do the decent thing and die of shame.

    One day you'll realise you've hitched your wagon to a wooden horse. Good luck 'til then and have a nice life.

  • Whoa.. I never knew this was by Ben Lee O_o

  • jews are the best

  • found ben lee song in movie dinner for schmucks so posting his tunes on my writers blogs for typing.. the idea girl says word press :)

  • @robinmlcruz why would you look it up then?

  • Vote up for 'epic nut shot' at 2:18 xD.

  • Brilliantly crafted guitar pop song. So many bands and artists are busy trying to push back boundries or change people. Not that there's anything wrong with that 'per se', but sometimes they forget that the song is the most important thing! Ben Lee knows the importance of a great tune, and he delivers it well.

  • a feel good video. Ben is a great srtist...
