This song is in LAKAI NICK JENSEN COMMERCIAL 2010 & makes a mutch better video for this song. (It's a skateboarding commercial but features the full song)
Whitest Boy Alive is one of those bands that really hit home for me in the way that they actually have basslines that aren't just the same few notes played ad nauseum. So good.
@gustragus si te gustan mucho los the whitest boy alive tengo un disco de ellos nuka visto fue hecho en paris del 2007 tiene varios temas como burning,24k,golden cage y mas si lo keires te dejo mi correo
OK seriously I just started to love these guys and I love the bass lines. If a song doesnt have a decent bass line I don't like it too much. I love this song's bass line and i can't find the music for it! Just goes to show more people need to fan these guys!
The bassist from this band makes me wanna play the bass, the drummer makes me wanna play the drums, the guitarist and singer makes me wanna play my guitar and sing along, and the music always make me wanna dance!
Erlend was famous in beforehand with Kings of convenience, which is even more famous, this is his new gig. He has a very characteristic voice and appearance, and he always puts on a big stage act with dancing e.g.
He writes most of the songs and he's the lead vocalist.
Would just not be right calling this band just: German.
Its German-Norwegian
The band was not founded in Germany, it was founded in Jakarta.
can someone please explain what is this song about? I'm not sure but it seems to me like the song tells a story about love that was growing slowly and was real but finished unexpectadly. Someone interprete the lyric differently?
crap, does anyone know where I can get the guitar tabs for this? I can only find bass. I don't mind doing it by ear, but I just wanted to know if there were any out there.
it sounds like he has more treble than bass on is amp...yeah it sounds so clean, reproducing the sound is difficult. And his pickups aren't stock, either. he changed them, so that may be another thing affecting the sound. None if this I know for sure, but i still love the way it sounds!
este video esta excelente el cuate que es vocalista de este grupo se llama "Erlend Oye" y tambien canta en "King Of Convenience" y en "Phonique" y en "Plais"....
y todas esas recomendaciones estan buenas escuchenlas se las recomiendo....
