@whenbbkingcametotown + @acrookednose u both used terms tht would offend many people and your argument was absolutely pointless... way to go, you two killed this vid for me
LMAOROFLAGAIN, what a couple of kids you all are. The point isn't how hard it is to play. It is a love song. One of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heard. Until you have been in love this much you will never understand. It's about dying for someone because you can't live without them. It's about killing yourself if the love of your life killed themself or died. It's about the ultimate sacrifice. It's one of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heard. It's in my top 5 of alltime
This song is easy to play he is just lazy and using a banjo pick. Music just isn't what it used to be. Good song for the era just wish people would but a little more heart and talent into what they write
@sho5spd I doubt he chose that strum because he was too lazy. In my opinion it's a beautiful choice for the song, and the simplicity of the guitar aspect of it perfectly fits the song. Intricate play doesn't necessarily beget a good song. Don't be so cut-and-dry.

what's wrong with this music? guy sounds like mr. rogers singing, there's no emotion, soul, passion, fire or anything in this music, in other words, it's BLAND. people themselves are DISTORTED today, so it's no wonder they listen to so-called music like this that's also DISTORTED, it's not even good enough to be called GENERIC, it's a TRAINWRECK, the singer is like some bizarre PUPPET.
@whenbbkingcametotown Dude, get the hell off this video if you don't like it. Nobody wants to listen to you complain. I'd ask if you had something better to do, but clearly you have nothing else in your life besides complaining on Youtube.
@acrookednose the only reason he is singing this fucking retarded song is because he's fucking retarded and the crowd is fucking retarded, you take one fucking retarded person then soon you got a whole lot of fucking retarded people listening to this shit, you little fucking punk, eat shit and stuff a pickle up your ass, did your mama ever teach you the alphabet, you're so much of a fucking moron i can't even begin to think of what to say to you, go play with a boy band, go suck ben gibbard
@whenbbkingcametotown Moan whine bitch moan. Dude, all you did was repeat yourself about 10 times. That was absolutely pointless, besides the fact that you made remarks about homosexuality, which I suppose is just what you want to watch. Shit dude, you must have major mental disabilities, you just made yourself look like both a douche, faggot, and moron, all in one post. Congratulations, you must be so proud. Shame your mother couldn't feel the same about you. Fucking fag, music is selective.
@whenbbkingcametotown Since you know so much about music. Listen, everyone has their own interpretation of music and their own threshold of when music is considered an art, and when it is considered a craft. When Ben Gibbard developed his singing style, and when he wrote this song, he developed them in such a way that he felt appropriately conveyed the emotion he wanted to share. Who are you to tell someone that the way they want to express themselves is wrong?
@whenbbkingcametotown Umm.......distorted solos(nowadays) tend to be soulless shredding piece of crap solos...back when Hendrix and them played then ya distortion could come into part of the soul...but now it's more of a competition of who can play the fastest. Then you have musicians like him that white completely on soul and feeling and that write beautiful music. It's rare...and trust me, playing this gets you more girls..XP...don't bomb on him for being depressed and writing based on that.
@rayge2 he's scratching the strings with his nails, it's Ben's unique strumming technique, that sounds really different to normal strumming on a steel string guitar.
great job guys keep up this great work maybe one day i could find a band thats just flows so smooth as yours i enjoy all your sounds and still waiting to hear more
i love him so much!!
