Jeremy Messersmith - "A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard" (Live on 89.3 The Current)

[allenjoseph5]

Just stumbled across this and I really like it. He sounds a little like Paul Simon at parts

[Axion3812]

Am, C/B- C... F... G, to an Am transition by hitting the 2nd string first fret then pull off, chorus is.. Am, G, F, C - C/B twice then Am, G, F when its the "lighttning to strike"

LOVE THIS SONG

so you guitarists dont have to go find the chords

[2girlz10personalitie]

He's so amazing live.

[kiki2w]

love this song, heard it on united states of tara and now I want to learn how to play it

[MistaTheDTrain]

I love this song and am learning how to play it myself. He is so talented both in his writing and musicality. His lyrics are kinda depressing but he's so good.

[kferrier88]

10 people don't mind waiting.

[dme257]

this cat looks just like buddy holly. which isn't necessarily a bad thing. this dude's got talent, though. great voice, catchy tunes, and great arrangements on his songs. good on ya, mate.

[ohwatermelonninja]

I'm sitting here listening to this song and in the other room, a snotty girl is freaking out over The Black Eyed Peas... Funny how everyone is different...

But I still think I have the best taste ♥

LOL and I'm a girl too btw (:

[shofan09]

[afixrocks]

[lemonaid890]

What kind of guitar is that?

[scottbrotify]

@lemonaid890

an acoustic one?

or if you're talking about the other one, a cello.

[JazmineTCat]

Either he*s reincarnation of Buddy Holly or else he*s Chuck*s long lost twin brother...just with a better voice ...lol. Love the song...

[49hoff]

lol wtf hipsters

[XxInuKagomexX]

Chuck always has the greatest songs!

So glad it brought me here <3

[Raynwoke]

[sulaimanswaleh]

@icebear727 just like william fitzsimmons? ^^

[imcori4]

@dmxclassic9646 I found this song because of "i will follow you into the dark"!

[TheJimAndBob]

[atreyu712]

@TheJimAndBob looks like a gibson.

[ikklecallie]

Wait, which Jonas is that?

[raulik20]

[Villeishott]

[mindlessmistro]

@Villeishott a tv show with really good music

[mindlessmistro]

@Villeishott a tv show with really good music you should check it out. its a good show

[love2day13]

He looks kind of like Joe Jonas from the side

[boredness6789]

@love2day13 but Jeremy is much cooler.

[dawnlinnell]

His voice reminds me of sweet kool-aid on a sizzling summer day.

[maggster413101]

Saw him in concert last night at the Varsity!!! Sooo goood! He looks a lot like Topher Grace, too!

[toastybagoo]

Haha, this is at the state fair! gotta love minnesota!

[1995bobbygirl]

i love his glasses<3 :)

[Lolleee13]

Chuck brought me here :D !! <3

[h2oly]

Chuck has introduced us to a lot of cool music. This one is no exception.

[soofyyhy]

Chuck brought me here too... :-)



[Pizzaslice5]

Is it kinda cool that there are 893 likes, and its 893 current?

[hugorr81]

Unbelievable song and artist. Chuck brought me here...

[pagansrpeople2]

beautiful minneapolis

[kevwillmiles]

lookin' good up there, dano!

[tgrnus4]

So beautiful...beautiful voice! Thank you NPR for showing me this artist!

[ioNNNic]

All these chuck things i wanted to flag them as spam - what does it have to do with this. I haven't seen the episode of chuck with this song, but I've loved this local artist for quite a while now. was surprised of the comments when i watched this

[daxsa]

@ioNNNic It was in the ending of "Chuck vs the Suitcase"...

[iTsAmy93]

@ioNNNic

It introduced people to Jeremy Messersmith, so why are you wanting their comments to be flagged as spam? They're just telling everyone how they found this artist. Don't be such a bitch.

kthxbai

[ioNNNic]

@iTsAmy93 you're welcome, bye.

[nickg90]

I too found this song thanks to Chuck. That show has an AMAZING soundtrack.

[Absynth616]

this is truly beautiful

[ChuckVsTheMusic]

I love Chuck and this song!

As much as I'd like Chuck to stay on Forever, but I know, that it's not possible.

All good things come to an end but that doesnt mean it has to end after only 4 seasons. I hope, that we get at least one more season :)

[jenlovessinging]

6 people don't know the definition of "Epic"/

[iReallyHateBees]

BEST SONG EVER! LOVE CHUCK, OTHERWISE I WOULD NEVER FIND SONGS LIKE THIS!

[dmxclassic9646]

This song reminds me of "I will follow you into the dark"

[scotthompson842]

@dmxclassic9646 It's a similar chord progression- but keep in mind that ben gibbard didn't use them first either.

[TheMaroon5addict]

@dmxclassic9646 Yeah, me too! Same XD

[margittarget]

@dmxclassic9646 it's in the same key, and it starts similarly. I noticed that too the first time I heard it

[janjiraiya]

@dmxclassic9646 yeah, I heard this song on Chuck, and I thought it was one of the Death Cab for Cutie's song..

[cupiiid]

This song is underrated ! ;< Need more of these songs

[MrTimefora187]

this song is beautiful, plain and simple

[0neiLy]

Amazing live performance!

[maalox601]

The soundtrack of Chuck is so great...

[GU1TARD3MON]

Dude looks like Buddy Holly :) Amazing amazing song! Thank you Chuck!!!! Wow... Now I feel so sad about my breakup... Was so happy about it but I guess the honeymoon period is over...

[orginallos]

Right now I am in love, its brittle. This song makes me think of her. Even though it's about a really sad subject. One day, we will live forever. Though love never is forever.

Hihe :)

[GU1TARD3MON]

@orginallos Same here man... Same her...

[dermotbuckley]

The instrument that the other musician is playing... Whats it called?

[orginallos]

@dermotbuckley

I think it's a Cello, else a contrabass.

[crunbinklins]

I'm sick of hearing about chuck in the comments for this video. It makes it seem like everyone thinks Jeremy Messersmith has no merit or if he doesn't exist without chuck.

[laughykid123]

@crunbinklins Why are you angry about a show that brings popularity to a song you like? No one said that he wouldn't exist without Chuck, just that they were happy that Chuck brought them here. Go to any other song that has been on Chuck, it's the same way.

[LooseFalcon]

@crunbinklins Get over yourself. You're just an angsty hipster who is upset that other people know about your favorite artist... :P

[blahblahblaha1a2a3]

how can u possibility dislike this song? only emos will

[matthewslfarley]

This is a beautiful piece of music. Simple as that.

[blahblahblaha1a2a3]

this song makes me jizz

[girlguitare]

[ar1odante]

[darksniper058]

[nomadicification]

@mnstrgurl you really have no idea of what this song is about.

[anobar]

I wish I could click "like" one million times...

[1Sh4d0W]

Chuck!!

[LlamaPhenomena]

HE IS SO CUTE! And this song is ADORABLE. His smile at the end just lit up his face. AAAAH!!! :)

[jorgito03]

I love this song.....

[rosmonic17]

Ever since this song was on chuck... I can't not lsiten to it... i prolly listen to this song atleat 10 times a day

[tannerivy]

I like to imagine that at 2:55 some random hot chick flashes her ta-ta's.

[DanceLover995]

I bought IWFYITD and this song (which I am so happy Chuck brought to my attention) at the same time, so I ended up listening to them back-to-back a couple times. Yes, they do sound somewhat similar. No, that most definitely does not change how much I love this song.

[tacopaco0916]

the best music is always played on chuck. people shouldn't get mad when people watch these videos and say "chuck brought them here..etc" Be happy. Bands that deserve to be noticed, are. finally

[youthbokeh]

Chuck , the TV-Show with wonderful songs!

[AnGeLdArK085]

this guy is good but not as good as chuck and sarah

[hypemachine1]

he's got a new animated video for this song, make sure to check it out!

[rosie14041992]

what a beautiful voice... Wow! made my day

[phearennadda]

Beautiful......

[BSKProductionz]

Chuck Sent me here....I love this song.. coming from the UK, I don't know why i feel so related to it...fml

[speshojk1]

the similarity in chords/ vocal range really does put the song pretty close to IWFYITD; it was actually the first thing that popped into my mind. But I think overall there are way too much originality in this song to just write it off as a copy.

[Alanplou]

Bright Eyes-like!

[linuxpenguin7]

go chuck!!

[Riisuandjosh]

this is a lush song

[brentracer]

Buddy Holly!

[BeeTooZinnHoo]

CHUCKK :P

[Th3NakedMan]

CHUUCK !!!

[jjmanutd]

its a great song but sounds a lot like radins song winter ? it could be me lol

[billydkidx]

@jjmanutd

It does, i noticed it too, great songs both

[ruvio00]

@jjmanutd It's an almost direct copy of "I will follow you into the dark" by Death Cab for Cutie

[ashleighthatsme]

Jeremy Messersmith is amazing live!!!!

Saw him at Sophia's in Davis and was hooked!

He did a great version of norweigian wood!

[Queeg928]

anyone know where to get a guitar tab of this song? been trying to find one but have only found wrong tabs, and this song is so awesome that i really want to learn how to play it right

[kerlazinho]

j'ai galéré pour retrouver cette chanson, je viens de l'entendre dans l'épisode 2 de la saison 4 de Chuck :) j'adore!!

[mcooper017]

we don't have enough of this pure talent anymore.

[VERGiiiSSES]

Woow *__*

[IlaughedIcried]

I love this song SO much. I imagine it taking place in the graveyard on Lake and Cedar, on a rainy day.

[ponabby1234]

This is only my second exposure to Jeremy Messersmith (the first, tatooine, rocked my world!) I already love him. He should go sing with ingrid michaelson.

[ziolodo]

any other amazing tracks like this one?

not from chuck though cause i've got them all already :)

[andr3ynh0]

i agree.

[Chriss22222]

most of the "unkwnon" song get popular throw series and s.o.

[g8kpr3000]

I like the song... however FYI: Frankenstein was the Doctor. The Monster was only referred to as "the Monster"

[anobar]

@g8kpr3000...........way to take it way to literal. Show 100 people a drawing of

Frankenstein's monster, and 100 people will identify it as "Frankenstein". He was just relating to the masses identification/perception of "Frankenstein" (the monster).

[HippieChic1970]

Very nice song.Interesting title.

[Bananatastic]

YOU are good !!

[filbertbrian]

Does he not realise Frankenstein was the creator, not the monster?

Why would a scientist need a shock to bring him back to life...

I love this though. And Chuck.

[jeremymessersmith]

@filbertbrian Being a horror fan, I'm well aware. Lucy, the character singing in the song... not so much. Glad you like it though!

[tenn3262]

I think I'm falling in love with you, Jeremy Messersmith.

[zombiesatesarahh]

I love you.

[mouthfulofwatermelon]

I LOVE CHUCKKKK!!!!!

[bobbyliiite]

shazam app + chuck = great music in your life

[TkN94pt]

AMAZING +.+

[jessaloveadams]

i love this. a lot.

[insidethecourt]

actually Covert Affairs brought me here. Thumbs Up??!

[DerNumenor]

Am I the only person who knows this song without seeing chuck or another show?

[taraflo94]

@DerNumenor yupp. who's chuck?....O.o

[fireinthehoe]

@taraflo94 Chuck is an awesome spy comedy NBC show. The main character's name is chuck

[mikkcee]

@taraflo94 You should watch the show it pretty awesome! it start at 8 pm est every monday

[monkey001122]

Hopefully tomorrow, Chuck will give another good song to look up :)
