Big Black Car

[zXBrainsXz]

It all makes sense now! McDonald's slogan(I'm lovin' it) wasn't referring to the food, it was referring to this song!

[LukeyLoo22]

I can't get into the chorus but the rest is grrrrrreat!

[SMITTSBEATS]

Blah Bah Blah thanks mcdick's

[pepsiman0215]

how can someone dislike this song?!? there is not one thing wrong with this song

[illwatchifitsgood]

I want to thank this song for bringing me to the McDonalds commercial

[jadorelaur1]

wow, im in love.

[beccatostitos]

"You know that McDonalds commercial with the couple eating dinner in front of the christmas tree, but you don't pay attention to the commercial because the song in the background is just SO GOOD? My friend found the artist!" <-- instant popularity

[oOTheLastDinosaurOo]

FRENCH FRIES

[XxTimelessMomentxX]

Lol at the hipsters who all "loved this song before the McDonalds commercial". Who cares when or where you heard it? It's a great song, just love it for what it is.

[jessieread2]

this was my one of my favourite songs before the mcdonalds commercial.

[lovethedeathmachine]

@saskatoonsistars that was a little bit rude....

[MJlove89]

I love you

[joeylarin]

well time has a way of throwing it all in your face.. the past she is haunted, the future is laced

[XWarthongX]

As much as I hate McDonalds I still have to thank them for giving me this

[TheStrongSurvive42]

This song is on a McDonalds commercial?

[JustBoostThis]

lol

[srhskndrpr]

Oh no, 7 people have fainted while listening to this heavenly song and have pressed the dislike button by accident!! Someone call 911 so they can fix that

[nikkiruthie]

I just love that Gregory took the money he made from this commercial and donated it to some great non-profits. Check out the post in the notes section of his website. Pretty generous of him!

[pjandlaurashow]

the awkward moment when you didn't find this song from a McDonalds commercial...

[JRudolph86]

Please, tell me it's not true. McDonalds did not use this song in a commercial, right? :/

[zXBrainsXz]

McDonalds gave me two things. This song, and diabetes.

[0011010101100]

@angeliquefrancais Someone wants a fucken medal.

[angeliquefrancis]

Loved this song,even before the McDonalds commercial..

[SteveJawbs]

@angeliquefrancis No one gives a shit.

[snosdnadrofmum]

McDonalds <3

[SirSerene]

Great song detailing the life of a young man in a hopeless position where life has past him by and now, he has little of a future. Intertwined with a love song about how this man woos a beautiful woman threw romantic escapades. This song tells quite a story of life and love.

[meganandmark1]

beautiiifulll <3



[gillianb263]

Just ordered this album today, can't wait to get it!

[KeepItReal13579]

THE McDONALDS COMMERCIAL BROUGHT ME HERE! -3 yeahbudddie!

[nathanieltopacio1]

Love this song, addicted since I saw the Mcdonalds commercial... :D

[oohmyclumsyheart]

@court4326 AGREED

[3weirdosnababy]

the song sucks its my opinion and i have my reasons :) so im allowed to have an opinion

[suline12]

@3weirdosnababy Well, why are you here? Gtfo.

[court4362]

@suline12 LOLOLOLOLOLOL agreed

[ZachLaughs]

@3weirdosnababy your opinion sucks.

[IceColdShine]

@3weirdosnababy if you think the song sucks then why come here just to comment on it... what are you 10

[PwincessSavannah]

@3weirdosnababy I have my reasons why you suck too :)

[AWDracer]

@3weirdosnababy You may have an opinion but it would be nice to state why you think the song sucks.

It is a simple sounding song but for a song with its lyrics, a "busy" song would be inappropriate.

Anyway, I could have just said "your comment sucks and i have my reasons, so I'm allowed to have an opinion" but I didn't. Now you know why your post is dumb.

[NecroFilmz]

@AWDracer Freedom of speech?

[edoghogho100]

Though this is kind of boring to listen to in a way; but at the same time, if you listen carefully to the music layrics actually past the banjo playing; this music is good, inspirational, very classic and cool to listen to. But McDonald's does alot of food drive to help people in need, they also provide less priviledge children with shelter, food and other basic necessities. But at the same time McDonald's unhealthy, and at the same time very tempting.  Comment written by: Joy Omonoyan (GNED)

[Bliza139]

this is soo goood.

[giomsnvirjin]

song*

[giomsnvirjin]

Put a thumbs up if you first saw this sing on a Mcdonalds commercial :)

[cdjk123]

2:42 sounds like the melody from the shins-new slang. It's in the bass, then in the banjo...



[cdjk123]

This is a "wanna drive down the coast for a while?" kinda a song.

[somehockeybro]

beautiful lyrics

[NoNeedforTears]

I'd never think I'd thank McDonalds in my life, until they let me find this soul-touching song!

[3weirdosnababy]

this song sucks :(

[04mxz440]

@3weirdosnababy wtf. 

[PwincessSavannah]

@3weirdosnababy you suck :(

[JugglingUnicycler]

@3weirdosnababy Troll-olo-olo-lo-lolo-lo, huhuhuhah!

[Versus0Terminus]

Was this really in a McDonald's commercial? It is nice to see underground artists like Gregory becoming more popular. Great Song!

[franksinop]

Wheres my post?

[franksinop]

Thanks mcdonalds.. For big macs... And this song!

[freeskispirit]

Never thought I'd be thanking McDonalds for anything, but allowing me to discover this artist is the best thing that they've ever done

[1337Higgins]

@freeskispirit Agreed in full

[donchaknoweh]

@freeskispirit surprisingly enough they use some pretty great music on their commercials.

[ikamts2]

whats Mcdonalds

[k1lty]

I hate this song but love mcdonalds

[IceColdShine]

@k1lty why would you come to the video just to comment that?

[wickeddrummer13]

@IceColdShine Because fat people need attention too.

[NativeMjxo]

Now I wants a bigmac...

[MrJrMcLovin]

McDonald's brought me here

[fibrodude71]

Song good, Mcdonald's bad! I much prefer A&W! Their new Prime Rib Grandma burger is quite frankly...HEAVEN! They make me wanna be a better man...

[Burnabus]

@fibrodude71 i love there hambagars. im goin right now to get one thanks

[fleudian]

oh my god.

[tobomind]

I didn't think Mcdonalds had enough class to use a good song like this haha, nice one

[BluejayJones]

Love it. Nuff said.

[OwlCityisAmazing18]

Well, this it incredible.. I think my favourite part has to be when it goes, "Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face, The past she is haunted the future is laced". ♥ Beautiful. Though, it was hard to choose because the whole song is perfect. Happy New Year everyone, may it be a good one ♥

[mayerfan09]

Finally found this song...went nuts after heard it on tv from Mcdonalds :)

[dutcheroonie789]

<3 good song

[totalsingergrl]

Okay, guys, geez. It's a great song and one stupid comment. Get over it.

[fallingorfloating]

@GirlRox1208 I really dislike people like you. People that say that did this first or liked that first. Nobody cares. So shut up, turn the volume up, and enjoy the goddamn music. Thanks :)

[AbbeyB2002]

love this song

[camprose26]

Beautiful song, and even more beautiful that he donated all the proceeds to non-profits that support community and sustainable farming practices. I think I love this man.

gregoryalanisakov (dot) com/notes/organizations-that-r­ule-13-december-2011

[annieoakley645]

@camprose26 A lot of families in need were provided healthy meals this Christmas, because of his donation. Pretty amazing.

[idontknowuppl]

It's great that McDonalds promo'd Gregory Alan Isakov. He really deserved it.

[MrDrewbious]

I just want to buy the cd. Like no where sells it i've checked.

[MackEffects]

@MrDrewbious download the song then burn it to cd...

[zizesman]

Totally expected that McDonalds commercial to be an insurance commercial of sorts. Young couple. Whole future lying in front of them. Why not protect it with [insert company here]? Oh well. Beautiful song. Cheers, everyone.

[PwincessSavannah]

Mcdonalds commercial.... my favourite commercial ever :) <3

[Acoustictears]

This song is awesome! I'd love to know how McDonald's came across this amazing artist! He must be making big money from this commercial I see it all the time and it made me search for this song. Gotta love google!

[melbergeron123]

Finally found this beautiful song ! :)

[musicD25]

Where ever you got it, ain't it beautiful?

[redeyewill100]

i hate to say it but i kept seeing that damn Mcdonalds commercial and the first time i heard it i was saying this is amazing....

[msgingergilmore]

Sorry to all the hipsters out there who "discovered" this song, but you know the artist has to agree to allow their music to be used in a McDonald's commercial, right? McD's isn't just stealing it.  And I'm sure that Mr. Isakov will be seeing royalties for many years to come. Lovely song :)

[blurrybigfoot74]

*Insert standard comment about how I love this song but hate Mcdonald's when in reality I eat that shit all the time but saying you hate Mcdonald's looks hip and I can't risk not looking cool on the internets*

[dimabreakkar]

@blurrybigfoot74 Haha but i really do hate mcdonald's and love this song!

[ShellyPhD]

I saw this in the mcdonalds commercial, and have been searching endlessly for the song for about 3 weeks. So glad I finally found it.

[mcrockafelladragon]

@ShellyPhD haha i just saw the commercial and found it in literally two minutes..

[turdsandwicher]

@ShellyPhD 3 weeks lol took me 1 min

[DecapitatedDoctor]

@ShellyPhD Wow your computer must be slow as fuck, I typed "McDonald's commercial 2011" and found this song in seconds

[meaghanwright]

I'm confused as to why this doesn't have more views. Unreal

[fabfauna]

This song is fab, i can't wait to listen to it all now, possibly on repeat. Thanks to the musician for this beautiful tune.

Cheers.

[DanOConnell79]

This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time, to celebrate I had a boatload of McNuggets

[522waterboy]

tumbs up if Mcdonalds brought you here.

[GirlRox1308]

Am I the only one that liked this song before the McDonald's Commercial?

[PandaBearJelly]

@GirlRox1308 What a hipster thing to say :P who cares if you knew about it before or after the add. All that matters us that everyone here is here because they have great taste in music. Happy listening :D

[GirlRox1308]

@PandaBearJelly Your such a piss off. Stop ruining the vibe.

[JugglingUnicycler]

@GirlRox1308 Who's the white trash now?

[pierpaoloGT]

@GirlRox1308 Oh wow. Oh that's so cool of you.

You and all the other hipsters, dear.

[GirlRox1308]

@pierpaoloGT Eww, Can someone please tell me why this ugly piece of shit dare try and talk up to me?

[TheXrizz]

@GirlRox1308 (That comment was actually me using my brother's account, so let me continue here) Grow up. You're a giant hipster who's just vying for attention. Example- right now. And by the way, that would be talking "down", since I was referring to you in a condescending tone. Try English class again? And before you call someone an ugly shit, post a few videos of yourself. :) Bye honeybunch. <3

[GirlRox1308]

@TheXrizz Damn, You are one ugly mother fucker.

[iOvereat]

@GirlRox1308 I dunno, she is pretty cute actually.

[TheXrizz]

@GirlRox1308 Hot damn, that one cut deep. I'm sorry, gorgeous- I couldn't quite hear you over the sound of your obvious case of Hipsteritis. Get a real insult to hurl at me sweetheart, and graduate from the third grade. Has mommy stopped putting notes in your lunchbox yet or am I just hearing huge amounts of insecurity coming through? Hugs and kisses, honeybunch. <3 :) Have a fantastic new year. (P.S. change your diaper. I'm smelling shitty replies coming this way.)

[JG129]

@GirlRox1308 Please just stop talking, Your embarrassing yourself......

[GirlRox1308]

@JG129 Im not embarrassed though... I really just don't care about what some white trash has to say about me on youtube. 

[TheXrizz]

@GirlRox1308 Of course you wouldn't- that's why you're replying, right? Because you don't care? Is that it?

[GirlRox1308]

@TheXrizz Get over yourself honey.

[TheXrizz]

@GirlRox1308 I've no reason to get over myself. You, on the other hand, need to stop being a whiny, self-righteous bitch and enjoy the god damn music. Moral of the story is that nobody but your hipster self really gives a shit if you heard it first because we're all supposed to be here enjoying the music. If all you care about is someone's opinion (which you "don't care about", but that's bullshit) then go argue it elsewhere. This is a beautiful, calming song and you're ruining the atmosphere.

[GirlRox1308]

@TheXrizz Hey, I wasn't the one who decided to pick a fight. I was just a little annoyed with all these Mc Donalds this and that bullshit.

[diego19214]

@GirlRox1308 wow that comment to @pierpaoloGT just showed how much of an ugly personality you have girl, you gotta get that fixed.

[gleefan4eva]

thanks McDonalds <3 ps i love the song not your food

[Shartasticly]

I found this using SoundHound on the McDonald's commercial !

[JAGVIR3399]

Hahahhahaha fukin mcdonalds ad gotta live em i used an app on my ipod called soundhound to figure it out took me 2 minutes muhhfukazz

[detroitgurl3059]

best song i've heard in awhile...

[Paulmartino03]

@EasyCompanyable thats exactly what i was thinking lol love this song!!!

[CeceliaRudeface]

Took me so long to find this song, dear god.

[illestgyal]

@CeceliaRudeface I think it took me even longer. LOL

[FutureFamous95]

when i saw the Mcdonalds commercial, i was like, "wow. thet is so dumb." but then i gtot his song stuck in my head, finally I have found it!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! for their good taste in music, i can forgive mcdonalds for the stupid ad.

[AGW626]

Ya, I was surprised to hear this great song on a McDonalds commercial and then the "bada ba ba ba" - should have just let that go for once...

[MackEffects]

FUCK MCDONALDS, KICK AZZ SONG

[Soldier0Cross]

Coulda sworn this guy was Oren Lavie when I saw it on the commercial. Awesome song though.

[MYLonelyWords]

@easycpmpanyable: The couple in the commerical obviously did not have a lot of money...

[Ringo95Starr]

He sounds like/reminds me of Aidan Knight. Greaaattt stuff.

[mstherani]

Hey elitist jerks, who cares how anyone came to find this music... this guy now has even more people appreciating his music... whats the problem with that exactly?

[SteveJawbs]

@mstherani The problem is that he's a sellout. Last time I checked, that's a real shitty thing to do.

[69cooolbeans]

did anybody else not come here from a stupid ass mcdonalds commercial or greys anatomy? fuck sakes

[Devox313]

Thumbs up if Mcdonalds DIDN'T bring you here

[SmiIeAndWave]

LOL mcdonalds brought me here , awesome song .

[rainbowshoester]

I have a new respect for mcdonalds

[murmurp]

Thumbs up if Mcdonalds brought you here.

[bs4e]

mcdonalds commercials feature really good songs, too bad their product isn't good. taste fucking great but a potential heart attack with every bite.

[emm1004]

i found this song on greys anatomy l o l. i have no idea what all you mcdonalds commercial people are talking about

[MrSkinnynerd03]

@emm1004 it's a canadian christmas commercial lol

[LukesVideoSpot]

commercial made perfect sense! they just bought a my home, and were going through a tough time financially! I just get things I dunno how I do it! Also this song is quite phenomenal, and mcdonalds gift cards are not ok gifts, but thats ok.

[arialdrones]

Can't say I really eat or like McDonalds much but I have to thank them for promoting this beautiful song! Cheers Ronald lol

[castratephilanderers]

@arialdrones

Cheers! I've been boycotting McDonald's Corporation for very good reasons since 1988 BUT this song by G.A.Isakov is beautiful & catchy! Being a difficult-to-impress music industry veteran I have to admit that I AM INDEED impressed! I appreciate hearing it recently via their TV commercial aired in Canada during 12.11. : )

[shogun506]

that commercial made no sense but the song is so good, never heard it before

[ReelsOnWheels88]

just demolished a bacon n' egg breakfast biscuit meal with hashbrown and coffee. now there's a commercial for ya

[hellobeautifulyou]

New Favourite song, thanks McDonalds!

[slowhand531]

I realize this is probably not the place to comment on the commerical, but since EasyCompanyable opened the door. Watch at the end how she looks at him. Now if that's not true love, I don't know what is! I do realize it's a commerical, but still...

[TheXrizz]

YouTube needs a loop button.

[riguytime]

@TheXrizz Highlight the URL and change "youtube" to "yourepeat"

[TheXrizz]

@riguytime YOU HAVE JUST CHANGED MY LIFE. THANK YOU.

[SuperRoflstudios]

dear youtube, take the dislike button off because it is pointless unless u meant for it to be for trolling people who wont just click away from a vid they need to dislike it first because they think the world actually cares that your among 3 people who dislike this song. tyvm

[Giulianaloves]

This video deserves SO many more views.

[ugliguy]

only good thing mcdees ever did for me

[SKID0032]

It's like Josh Ritter and Ryan Adams had a baby and then McDonalds delivered him to me.

[metal1ism]

Without that commercial I never would have found this awesome!! SONG!! gives me the chills, been so long since music has done that!

[Gorboror]

@metal1ism man, if you want music to give you the chills hit me up, there's a lot of good, good music out there.

[Panzer883]

the song is amazing... McDonalds not so much

[strictlyhylian]

Beautiful.
