Benjamin Bloom - Brainwashed (Official Video)

[playingmyGib]

Love the lyrics! And the music. Great composition!

[BenjaminBloom]

@playingmyGib Thank you - new updated version on Facebook too! x

[Hasher101]

intelligent music

[BenjaminBloom]

@Hasher101 Hey - we have actually got a new version with big rocking electric guitar, go to either SoundCloud or FaceBook and it's there for you to listen to! x

[CarylCake]

@MrTrailhound Having been to a great many dying churches, it would appear these brainwashing powers you speak of don't exist. And congratulations on being awake. You told me more about yourself with that than I asked to know.

[blearghp]

the song is actually good. enjoyed it. keep it up.

[BenjaminBloom]

@blearghp Thankyou - glad you tuned in! x

[Belphegor82]

At first I kinda thought this was a cover of George Harrison's "Brainwashed" :o) Very nice thought-provoking song, very well interpreted and the video fits it like a glove. Great work :o)

[BenjaminBloom]

@Belphegor82 Thanks - I didn't realise until after i'd written this that George Harrison had a song of the same name, I think he got Brainwashed by John and Paul into becoming a great songwriter too! x

[stramayne]

Interesting music. Style, talent, no doubt. Video? Odd. Though it does seem to make a point on hypocracy. Unlike a certain GaGa lady whose videos make no sense whatsoever. I like the song.

[BenjaminBloom]

@stramayne Thankyou....we were trying to make a point about how people should think for themselves, didn't want to get too preachy though!! x

[CarylCake]

So... this vicar is moonlighting as a hypnotist? Interesting career choice.

[BenjaminBloom]

@CarylCake Yes - he should've listened to the careers advisor at school! x

[HeadGirl]

love it.. tks for the invite, excellent channel faved. x

[MrBlindskunk]

unusual dude...cool !!! The Russell Brand of the Piano !

[BenjaminBloom]

@MrBlindskunk Haha cool - I think Tim Minchin's got that covered though! x

[BenjaminBloom]

@2LIVEdonTmeanURaLIVE Well hopefully the most creepy bit is the ending, which would mean you did.....fingers crossed?! x

[BenjaminBloom]

@2LIVEdonTmeanURaLIVE Hehe hope you weren't too creeped out to listen to the whole song! x

[MrPimpinhard]

HEY COOL VID, VERY CREATIVE! THUMBS UP

[BenjaminBloom]

@MrPimpinhard Thankyou very much, glad you enjoyed! x

[maxredbin]

I was expecting a comedy skectch at 1st so I was surprised its a music vid...anyway I thought the song was good and enjoyed the vid also

[BenjaminBloom]

@maxredbin Haha...well we try to be a bit tongue in cheek and not take it too seriously! Thanks for the kind comment though! x

[smilefellas]

Fantastic! This sounds like something that could've been a wacky John Lennon/George Harrison collaboration.

[BenjaminBloom]

@smilefellas High praise indeed!! I think George Harrison had a song called Brainwashed didn't he? x

[smilefellas]

@BenjaminBloom Actually I did not know that. I had to go have a listen though. I like your song more ;)

[BenjaminBloom]

@smilefellas Lol....flattered beyond belief! x

[smilefellas]

@BenjaminBloom Why does this video have so few views? Too bad every time I watch it doesn't count as another. If you ever plan a visit to NY please let me know. I'll be at your show.

[BenjaminBloom]

@smilefellas It's my most viewed video too...what am I doing wrong eh?! x

[spongebob12345]

Saw this guy at The Hermit! very good music, enjoyed it muchly I recommend buying his songs. :)

[BenjaminBloom]

@spongebob12345 Thankyou very much, do you want a job as my PR guru after a comment like that?! x

[Melodeon100]

Very Happy Bunny - I'm afraid we are baby boomers and not clued up on latest text speak etc. Regret to say I qualify for bus pass next year and herself, although avid fan of Linkin Park, is not far behind. Hope no damage to yr street cred? Just off to iTunes.

[BenjaminBloom]

@Melodeon100 Street cred?! I never had any of that in my life so don't be worrying and such things! x

[Melodeon100]

Heard this on Sue Marchant the other night and finally tracked you down while management was out on the town. Now if I can buy it and get it on to her ipod I'm laughing. Registered just for this, it's worth it.

Great track, looking for more.

[BenjaminBloom]

@Melodeon100 Ah it was a free download until a couple of days ago but now it's going on iTunes....did you manage to get to the facebook site in time ?x

[Melodeon100]

@BenjaminBloom Thought I was too late as It ran out at midnight but perhaps the clocks hadn't gone back yet as it still downloaded. Managed to get it on to management's ancient ipod and now VHB. More of same please.

[BenjaminBloom]

@Melodeon100 Ah fantastico - there is indeed more of the same on iTunes, what's VHB? x

[geogreg27]

[BenjaminBloom]

[13demayorobcumple]

[BenjaminBloom]

@13demayorobcumple Hey thanks so much....did you put it up in your faves??? x

[BmeAngel]

great job, love the video, keep up the good work,looking forward to seeing more from you.........Angel

[BenjaminBloom]

@BmeAngel Hey thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it! x

[vonki93]

Love the video :3

And the starting is epic!

[BenjaminBloom]

@vonki93 Thanks so much, we tried our best so 'epic' is a lovely compliment x

[dazzbrown]

@AliceMaryHale Is your name really Alice Mary Hale? Or is it a Twilight reference? Sorry haha, just saw your name and thought it would be kinda coincidental if it is your real name :)

[dazzbrown]

Ok, now you've outdone yourself. The song is awesome, the video is awesome, different and oldfashioned which I reckon is cool. Makes it interesting, and then it is a bit of a story of the song too which again makes it even more interesting. How long did it take you to get all the filming and recording done for this? Anyways, looks awesome Benjamin, keep up the hard work. :)

[BenjaminBloom]

@dazzbrown Hey Dazz, took us about 3 days on precisely zero budget so i'm really really pleased with it. Glad you picked up on the old fashioned angle at the start, it's nice when ppl get what you're trying to do! x

[dazzbrown]

@BenjaminBloom Haha it actually kinda brings it back to that whole 'Edward Scissorhands' feeling again actually. That whole movie was a little bit like that, the old fashioned and ordered America where men went to work while the women stayed at home mostly.

Zero budget? Impressive, especially considering it's really good quality and all.

[BenjaminBloom]

@dazzbrown Haha not too sure about the men going to work bit, i'd like to be looked after like I lady - I loved Edward Scissorhands, I saw it on a ferry when I was like 9 years old and never forgotten it! x

[dazzbrown]

@BenjaminBloom Haha fair enough. Yea it's a genius movie. Wynona Ryder is real young and gorgeous in it too :)

[rorrykeys]

startin is brilliant....just love it!!!! how long did it take??!?? :o

[BenjaminBloom]

@rorrykeys @rorrykeys Hey man, I can't take credit for the script or the voiceover at the start....all in all took about 3 days, although I don't know how long Jenny the director edited it for after that too..... x

[rorrykeys]

@BenjaminBloom he did a gr8 job of editin :) reallyy.. too good :)

[BenjaminBloom]

@AliceMaryHale Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it, tell your friends and to favourites.... x

[JayTee461]

Oops.. accidentally deleted my comment!! thought it had posted twice but when i deleted it removed both. silly thing.

[BenjaminBloom]

@JayTee461 Lol youtube has a mind of its own, I usually press post and nothing happens and then when I try again my comment gets posted multiple times....oh joy! x

[BenjaminBloom]

@JayTee461 Hey Jess, yeah bit of a wierd one when you're used to actually performing the song live! Give us the thumbs up on here if you likes it! x
