  • that "we" are alone @yuffieallcreation

    

  • This video has been up since 2006 WTF....It needs way more fuckin views ya ?

  • i cant believe he played this song -_-

  • ahhh the out of tune bass :(

  • so beautiful :) and i love how when he says 'and im naked' you hear screams in the audience haha!

  • one of my favorite songs. simply beautiful.

  • I wish he would still sing this song live. Its so BEAUTIFUL

  • I NEED to see him live. JM is coming so close to me, in my birthday and I can't see them. I really feel an urge to cry.-.

    He's just amazing<3

  • This song is incredible.

    Andrew sings it so well live.

    Also, I love that he wasn't fazed by the audience, especially when he sings "and I was naked" and all the girls screamed, alot of artists today would have smiled or done something cocky, but he was more into the music. :)

  • Unreal!

    

  • Andrew is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated musicians out there. he is immensely talented and a select group appreciate it. he;s 100X better than the junk on the radio. he has talent. and more important. guts. to bring such a classic instrument into the mainstream. a few people can do that

  • I finally got to see him perform this song live last August in Toronto as part of the Reunion Tour... just perfect.

  • Andrew McMahon is the Jimi Hendrix of piano for sure. When SoCo played this live it was literally the most amazing and beautiful thing ive ever seen.

  • @xheartcorex7 Andrew McMahon is no where near the level that Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar. Jimi completely changed how an electric guitar sounded and was played. Non the less Andrew is an amazing pianist and vocalist. This song brings me to tears almost of how amazing the lyrics are.

  • @xheartcorex7 Jesus Christ- Andy- the JH of piano??? Please pass me the weed you are smoking. MUSE takes a shit on SC.

  • who can dislike this?!? honestly.

  • This is my favorite song ever -3 Andrew preforms it so beautifully, It made me cry.

  • This is one of my boyfriend and I's favorite songs. <3

  • I really like the “ready… break” album version of this song, the way he plays the piano always gives me the chills.

  • I hope he still has that raggedy-ass piano for the reunion

  • @ProjectAlexable i wish... but listen to the song "hammers and strings" it's about him trying to part with his old "hammers and strings been followin me around behind passenger vans, through the snow, dirt, and sand of a thousand american towns." funny coincidence that you commented on this video cuz the other world of that song is talking about "a friend" who calls him because she feels alone. supposedly the friend hes talkin bout is "krystal" with a 'k'... she's also Konstantine... with a k.

  • @atlsocojm22 Wow I never noticed! I could never let go of my first guitar, it has brought me so far through good times and bad. I still play it now :)

  • 1:14 "And you're wrestless, and I'm naked" There's about 4 girls that scream super loud. Bahah!

  • lol i dare you to ask him to play this now...

  • @MiTm4x SoCo actually has a reunion tour starting in august, and he will be playing this. He's played it at numerous shows in the last little while.

    *August 7th- Toronto!* <3

  • Andrew McMahon is a freaking genius. I was lucky to be able to see a SoCo concert on their last tour. When this song came on I about died.

  • this is the best song i have heard my bf loves it i dedicate it to you tyson

  • Such an underated band. Honestly theres not one song Andrews ever written that i didnt love. This song isnt long enough!!!

  • this song makes me cry! listening to it over and over again makes my sadness gone..

  • I love Something Corporate, they're one of my favorite bands, but I'd say this song is overrated. There's at least a dozen songs of theirs, that move me, more than this one does. That's just my opinion, don't bother debating it with me cause I won't bother arguing with anyone.

  • @airhead4423 That's cause it was only released in Japan on Songs for Silent movies.

  • it's always you... in my big dreams. when is this song going to get old?

  • @jasminr70 never, i loved this song since i was in jhs when it first came out n when i had my first true <3 and real <3 break yet i still love it! i still squeal when i hear it!

  • Andrew McMahon is a musical god. Oh my god. I could watch this video over and over again.

  • you can

    its on the internet

  • I realize that. That's why I have continued to watch it.

  • Gotta say, just found this video searching on here, and its one of the best songs that incorporates a piano I've ever head.

  • march 28, 2010 <3

  • lol , love how they scream when he sings "i'm naked" xD

    anyway i reaaaaally love this song! ..goosebumps

  • @writingsintheclouds hahaha it distracted me.

  • This is so beautifull sung live!

  • Staying down here in Malaysia is sad cuz we don't get to see them play live be it Jack's Mannequin or Something Corporate and that sucks. But anyway! From Malaysia with love!

  • Have you ever noticed If you play this an octave down, it's the Charlie Brown theme?

  • hahahahaha! seriously? that is great

  • Actually....they're coming back. march 2010

  • damn right :)

  • Wow, I'd love to still see them live once, probably will never happen though.

  • I adore this man.

  • best song in the world. best sinnger in the world.

  • Love Jack's Mannequin. Miss and love Something Corporate.

  • hearing the best song ever made makes me depressed cuz i know ill never hear a better song. its like whats the point anymore?

  • the song really is perfect in every way.....

  • this song is sooooo amazing

    he looks so young here haha

  • ...he is so amazing... <3

  • the part where he sings "and your restless

    and im naked " you hear people screaming hahaa

  • I would pay to see this band perform this song "live" Simple. If I knew they werent gonna play this song then I would not pay to see them. Best piano song ever!!

  • i his livechat a couple of days ago he said the only two reasons he wont play this is because 1- he has limited time on stage, this song is far tooo long.

    2- this is soco's song. not jack's mannequin.

  • this is one of the most beautiful songs i listen to i love it

  • I've seen Andrew perform as jack's 3 times, and I'm seeing him again in a couple weeks solo and I cannot wait! He puts on a hell of a show and is one of the best live performers I've ever seen. Love him!

  • OMG <3.

  • prob the greatest song of their entire genre. id like to see anyone reccommend a better one

  • Kinda sad we will never hear this live again!

  • Who knows. Andrew's playing a solo show in NYC on the 19th. There's a good possibility he'll play this considering he's not performing as Jack's Mannequin so he probably has a special set list for that night.

  • Sadly, he won't. I went to his solo show last night in Chicago, and he (of course) refused to play it.

    Some girl handed him a letter while he was on stage. He started reading it... "Hi Andrew, I'm guessing you won't play Konstantine...." He interrupts to say, "You guessed right."

    But his solo show was amazing otherwise! He told a lot of stories about his inspirations for certain songs, etc.

  • @lew13lair505

    you might.

  • i swear, if i ever heard this live, i would pass out right then and there

  • same!!!!

  • gah. i love this song.

    ANDREW MCMAHON=LOVE.

  • The most impressive song ever created. The lyrics change throughout the entire song, which is very impressive for a song that sometimes (live) can go as long as 10 minutes. I've never seen SoCo or JM live. I really just want to see an Andrew McMahon concert... him, the piano, and a microphone. That's all I'd want. He's the one that's written all the material for both bands... I'd pay to just see him without anyone else, haha. He's the best piano player alive today, in my opinion.

  • hes working on a documentary called dear jack thats about his battle with cancer and everything. and i think hes going on a solo tour because hes been writing his own music. and i think soco might be getting back too

  • Comment removed

  • @lrodzen Andrew didn't write all the songs for Something Corporate. Josh the guitarist some of the songs too.

  • @lrodzen He's a good piano player, but he's definitely not the best..  Konstantine isn't a very complex piece.

  • @connorherrold complexity isn't everything though :)

  • @lrodzen i've seen this band live when they first came out. This guy is a good solid song writer but.. best piano player alive today? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? 3 words: STEVIE FUCKING WONDER.

    THAT IS ALL...

  • This song is so emotional for me too.I listen to it to often<3

  • Something corporate is may fav band EVER!!!! Get back together soon PLEASE!

  • do you think is better than jack's mannequin?

  • I like this song better than most of theirs, but I like Jack's Mannequin better than Something Corporate.

  • i would love to witness andrew perform konstantine! lol i just saw JM last week and they performed watch the sky.. but not konstantine! ahh

  • best song ever.

  • i want him to come over and sleep in the my bed, i may be a sicko.

  • I can understand why he doesn't want to play it any more if he's in another relationship and perhaps wants to just move away from that part of his life hence leaving the music behind. This song gives me shivers and tears any time I listen, any time, anywhere. He's just amazing. There's something about the piano part that is simple yet so effective because then the vocal part soars over it and captures everyone who is lucky enough to watch it and hear what love was really about in this song.

  • The reason he doesn't want to play it is because he doesn't want to have to play it at every single show. He said in an interview "If I ever play it, Ill have to play it forever, every night. If it werent such a big deal for me to play Konstantine, then I probably would play it. But the truth is, as soon as I bring that song out one time, I will never be able to walk through a venue, no matter what band Im playing with or no matter where Im at, and not have people chant and cheer for it.

  • why is it a big deal for him to play it? someone said it upsets him? i dont get it lol

  • He said in an interview that it doesn't want to have to play it at every single show, and thinks that if he played it at one he'd have to play it at them all. He said if people stopped making such a big deal about it he would probably play it.

  • I don't believe that. I think there is more to it. This song obviously had a special meaning for him at one point with his ex-g/f now he is married with a different woman. How could you go back to playing that?

  • its about one of his ex girl friends and their relationships

  • ya this is one of my favourites by andrew mcmahon. if anybody wants to learn to play it, i figured it out by ear, and posted a tutorial that goes through the song step by step. it's called "how to play konstantine by something corporate pt. 1" and there is also a part two to it as it is a pretty long song. my youtube name is batmanday, so go to that one. the picture is and upside down piano keyboard. enjoy it!

  • "This is about a relationship that is filled with ups and downs, but mostly downs. Lead singer Andrew McMahon wrote it about his ex-girlfriend Krystal, which is why it's Konstantine and not Constantine. The line "I can spell Konfusion with a "k" and I can like it" refers to how "Krystal" usually isn't spelled with a K."

    Also I love how you can't even hear the audience until the part where he sings "I'm naked", which they all sing and then the girls scream. Hahah cute. <3 Gorgeous song.

  • yep, he and konstantine never married. the song is about one of ex girlfriends that he ended up breaking it off with while the band and him was on tour, hence the reference to the "rock star"

  • I just found out last week that he and his 'Konstantine' never married or anything; it almsot broke my heart.

  • Whats your source?

  • The fact that he said in interviews for the past how many years that he was no longer with the girl it was about.

    That is all

  • Fucking Amazing!

  • this song is amazing

  • He doesn't play it cause it's too long and it would take up a good chunk of the set. And him and JM probably haven't rehearsed it. Being in a band, I know you can't just pull songs out of your ass for shits and giggles.

  • Also I know that he said that if he played it for one crowd, he'd have to play it for all of them, and that's not realistic being a heavily touring band.

  • It's a Something Corporate song.

    He's said at shows and gone on record saying he won't play the song because it's a song he'll only ever play with Something Corporate.

    It's not because he got married or any other reason.

    There are songs he will only play with SoCo because they aren't JM's style of songs.

    That's the whole reason he started JM because he wrote a few songs that he knew were not for SoCo.

    That is all

  • A song captures a moment in time. Performing it now would not mean that he hasn't moved on from his first love or be disrespectful to his current wife. I think his refusal to perform this song now is kind of ridiculous - the song is about a time in his past and no one should have to deny the past happened

  • But perhaps this song IS about his current wife...? I dont know, just a thought

  • no it isnt... it's about a youth-love.

  • Ohh ok

  • Love this song. Sick piano.

  • wow.... may be one of the greatest voices live i've ever heard

  • at about 6:30 and 7:30, does anyone else see bobby raw from JM playing piano?

  • that's a synth he's playing on, and yeah he was in something corporate and JM

  • I hope he plays that during the reunion tour. I'm going to be there for sure. He didn't tell me the exact dates though because I only talked with him for a couple minutes and I had a hell of a lot to say, lol.

  • reunion tour?

  • They did in 07 with Coheed and also played boozle left.

    Right now it's kind of a question he avoids or just says maybe to.

    That is all

  • yeah he avoids the song completely. he refuses to play it. it's probably cause the song is about his ex-girlfriend and he is currently with a different girl so maybe he is just respecting his current girlfriend by not playing it..... maybe??

  • It's as I said before it's under that file of SoCo songs he won't play with JM.

    He played it even after he wasn't with her and he married but only with SoCo.

    That is all

  • He doesn't play it because if he played it for one audience, he'd have to play it for all of them. He isn't against playing it. It's just that he doesn't want the song to become so huge when it's not even a Jack's Mannequin song.

    This is what he said in an interview.

  • he's actually married now, his wife is named Kelly

  • this is amazing. andrew is so ridiculously talented.

  • no tsavolde thats wrong, soco broke up because they were tired of touring so he started recordgin everything in transit as a personal thing but then they decided to release it under the name jacks mannequin but the day they finished he found out he has leukima then he recovered and wrote the glass passenger which was recently realeased

  • Thanks for the tutor.

  • that's a really impressive sound for an upright piano....wonder how they did that

  • you and your big ... dreams

    (*-*)

    ÜÜ clap

    It's always you in my big dreams

  • o god. he's hot. dies.

  • This is so much better than the studio version

    I think i could listen to this for days straight

  • iii looooooveeeeeee thiiiisssssss

  • i believe i would die if i ever saw him play this live.

  • Too bad he refuses to sing it now.

  • he does? why?

  • he had to quit Something Corporate because of Leukemia.. and then fortunately he was cured.. but he couldn't go back to SoCo. So he founded a new band called Jacks Mannequin. You gotta understand it's a Something Corporate Song, not a Jacks Mannequin one.. I think he got enough personal reasons not to mix up these bands.. gotta understand & accept that =)

  • Its about a girl. And he's married now to someone else. Why would he play a song he wrote for a girl he loved when he's currently married to someone else?

  • because it is still one of their best songs. you can't just DELETE a song just because things change in your life.. that's what fans want to hear.. get real..

  • Well firstly, yes, of course you can stop playing a song, he wrote it for gods sake. And second, if you've ever written a song yourself with even half the personal level as Konstantine then you would better understand why he might refuse to play it later on in his life. I'll try my best to "get real" if you try your best to Andrew's circumstances and his right to do as he pleases. Thanks.

  • get real...

  • You aren't too smart are you? By the way, people don't really use "get real" anymore...

  • lol okay. call me old fashioned.

    but.. in the end. you're a loser.

  • Buddy, you have yet to say something that either interests me or defends yourself, give it a rest.

  • ahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Yes you can delete a song especially if you're no longer with the band that plays it.

    It's a SoCo song.

    He'll only ever play it with SoCo for that reason.

    The whole reason he started JM is because he wrote songs that he knew weren't SoCo's style.

    I hate to break it to you but starting and playing in a band is only about the fans if you're artists like Brittney Spears which is apparently what you're looking for so go listen to this.

    Idiot.

    That is all

  • it doesn't matter if he's married, and he's in love with someone else now

    the song is beautiful, that's all that's important

  • No one is arguing that it isn't a beautiful song, it is. If it bothers you that he no longer plays it take that up with him; I'm not the one refusing to play it. The only idea I've pushed is that of understanding. If you understand being in love, writing a song wrapped around it, then moving on from it, then it should be understandable. Bottom line, its a great song but Andrew won't sing it for personal reasons. Either accept and understand or cry and be selfish.

  • This song is obviously packed full of emotion.. i can definatly understand why he wouldnt play it. for a while the counting crows wouldn't play "Round here"... thats simply artist preference... btw artists take a huge risk in not playing theyre big songs at concerts... it presents the possibility of disappointing fans...

  • When was this show?

  • may 20th 2004.

    i would also like to add that this song is just amazing, one of the best ever recorded (in my opinion). And this live performance puts it on a whole new level. unbelieveable

  • this is myles favorite song and i love myles so i love this song

  • whose myles?

  • I love this song.

  • this song is so amazing, i dont think any boys i know have ever been so passionate about something in their whole life, plus andrew has a friggin awesome voice

  • Andrew McMahon= Genius, and a music god.

    no way else i can explain it, simply put, he is the best.

  • so co > jm

  • 9min blues ftw.

  • i have never been so obsessed with a song.

    I would listen to this over and over for like a whole year.

    Still one of the beautifulest songs ever.

  • you can obviously tell he still loves the girl he wrote this song for

  • Gahh, this song is beautifull :D

  • i really don't like his voice, but the song is amazing

  • I'm not a huge fan of this song, but it sounds beautiful live.

  • i totally agree, i never knew how good it could be, the cd version didn't grab me, but live it's so emotional.

  • your dumb if u dont like this song sorry

  • Best

    song

    ever.

    EVER.

  • sooo good. I would love to see this live... come to saskatoon PLEASE!!

  • I would pay SO much to see this live...

    SO much!

  • 11:11 A.M.<3

  • One f da best songs eva

  • i love this song and Andrew <3

  • If Jlo or Fergie made a 9 minute song it would be torture. Meanwhile, I don't see how someone like Ali Lohan can refer to herself as an "artist." I wish there were more songs like this on he radio instead of Rihanna's crap.

  • there's not much i wouldn't do to see this song live. (L)

  • I love this Song (l)

  • Ahhhhh this song + singer is amazing :D

  • good song~

  • I love this song... i jus wish Jacks Mannequin got the same recognition as SoCo, because its just as good

  • not even close buddy. SoCo was amazing on an entirely different level than Jack's Mannequin. they didn't care about making pop music back then.

  • I really doubt Jack's Mannequin cares about pop music any
