James fuckin Mercer

[TheBSLevin]

When they toured, this was the first concert I ever went to in 8th grade, still love em.

[0NLYUSEmeTROLL]

Sounds exactly like the shins

[0NLYUSEmeTROLL]

[423musicfan]

James Mercer honestly has one of the coolest voices you could have in my opinion

[JullianaAnna]

these guys are so cool!

[dudeinthacanoe]

Vevo sucks balls. Dirty hairy monkey balls.

[KittyClawson]

The only band I went on itunes and bought there album so I could support them.

[4316rodney]

[PoleCat410]

[MrPeck3r]

best song of 2010...

[bridlingtonengland75]

nice to see them do it like this.

[Teromi]

James Mercer is AMAZING.

[TheItalian42]

Is one of those other guitarists Josh Klinghoffer?

[phillramirez]

@TheItalian42 No.

[Lutoniro]

@TheItalian42 I don't see him here anywhere.

[rodneyj2]

Sometimes I wish people would just shut the fuck up and let me enjoy the music keep your personal opinions to yourself about well anything.

[purerider]

@rodneyj2 you do realize that reading the comments is entirely your choice, right?

[rodneyj2]

@purerider

No kidding ya know just never really crossed my mind I could actually be doing something more productive than wasting time responding back to this...

[pdpdrummer4]

one of the best songwriters of our time.. thank you..

[ThePlaydodog]

soo good. live

[ClassifyMyLife]

@clarkkkent69xxx umm put a cover on and we'll see how you do? no? then shut the f*ck up.

[OutFlowProductions]

LOL i'm going to take the low road... OF COURSE the black guy is the drummer haha jk... FUCK this is PERFECT MUSIC.. ahhhh!!!

[aemerson0425]

@OutFlowProductions...that's brian burton, the guy who put this whole band together, and also produced this whole album...

[NotaRussian]

@OutFlowProductions uhh, that's a white guy...

[zomgseriosuly]

I enjoy his beard

[lisascarboro]

I am in love!!!

[bilvytheelephwant]

gbkwje,rvirutgkjwej best song.

[terriblelove1]

I wish I could be Mercer's microphone.

[zomgseriosuly]

How he sings in the beginning - It's impossible for me to sing that low >:( And I enjoy singing along to good songs!!!! :(

[doughboycod2]

@zomgseriosuly damn you must have thin vocal chords lol.

[zomgseriosuly]

@doughboycod2 lol not that thin, he just sings it really weirdly deep. Like in the beginning of You Found Me

[11ydna]

at :52 smoke comes out of his mouth

[pinkzoso1]

@11ydna That's so weird before reading your comment I noticed that myself and was about to ask if anyone else had caught that. Strange haha.

[Intheflesh44]

@pinkzoso1 haha yea how the hell did he do that? o_O

[zomgseriosuly]

@Intheflesh44 lol he was probably in air conditioning

[jurgostuff]

12 people prefer the low road.

[doro69]

only 200k views?!? this world is SO FUCKED UP!

[sypha0x]

#OccupyWallStreet !

[JackWhiteismyhero14]

does anybody know what guitar he is using?

[clearwires]

@JackWhiteismyhero14 its a vox wildcat. If you watch the very end of the video its vox on the guitar pick guard.

[IngvarDude]

@JackWhiteismyhero14 I'm pretty sure that's a VOX.

[dynamitedon1955]

VEVO sucks.

[MatthiasSomers]

@dynamitedon1955 Why?

[sillyearthling]

advertisements are visual pollution. i don't need.

[nesnejls]

@sillyearthling Yeah you don't, but the artist does.

[WhitikerForest]

STILL AWESOME!!!

[badbrotherdog]

This is freakin magical,these guys are amazing musicians and the harmonies...this is starting to sound like ass kissin. Buy the music they deserve it!

[Snuffleupa]

The dawn to end all nights

That's all we hoped it was

A break from the warfare in your house.

Game of Thrones?

[MrCh3]

What guitar is the singer playing?

[Aleksand89]

@MrCh3 usually he uses a Les Paul Double Cutaway, but i don't know what kind of guitar he uses in this video.

[yesmissfrancon]

Jim Mercer reminds me of Burt Reynolds, physically.

Delicious voice.



[shanpowar]

@yesmissfrancon lol. He looks like kevin spacey though

[Aleksand89]

does he have a tooth pick in his mouth at 00:16?

[kcnirvana6794]

@Aleksand89 i think it's his guitar pick! what a beautiful song...god i have no words to describe what i feel while listening to it....

[Aleksand89]

@kcnirvana6794 it makes me always happy whenever i'm down, and makes me wanna sit in my car and go for a late night drive ^^

[tarhodes38]

you know the sound is amazing

[kimbrodeu]

this guys voice is amazing

[OftenLofton]

Love ....

[MsBradc]

seductive voice great lyrics

[NickDaSith2]

James Mercer makes me want to be a better person.

[raco010891]

For those who like this video, Vaporize (live) : v=bvuAeni13L4

[tjhowe123]

such an amazing group of musicians

[BitterSweetBleu]

played this song every morning while I got ready for school last year, great music

[tanner87]

9 people would rather watch a DJ just play a CD live......

[nick0780]

Great Song. Pretty Chill IMO

[clarkkent69xxx]

the mic is making his shitty voice sound acceptable

[StripesOnMyPants]

@clarkkent69xxx on what standard is his voice shitty?

[TheApplescout]

@clarkkent69xxx screw you man broken bells are amazing. I don't know where you got the term "shitty" to describe his great vocals because apparently you've never herd them live so fuck you

[YouShouldTryMeInBed]

@clarkkent69xxx aww a super-man fanboy, dissing one of my favorite singers! How cute <3

[RobotMummies]

such a sweet beard. I mean song!

[xxblksabbathxx]

what a KICKASS SONG

[petermccoid]

:50 there is smoke come out of his mouth...wtf

[aronjmatthews]

@petermccoid it's just cold. I seriously doubt studios aren't air conditioned, so it's probably just condensation.

[aronjmatthews]

@aronjmatthews that or he's a dragon. Comparably badass enough to be one so I guess it could go either way.

[GabrielSchaefferBMW]

is it me or is james mercer the new phil collins?

[primus328]

Danger Mouse!

[NateyG1]

Damn it these guys are awesome.

[theredmars]

i like this but i can't stand the shins...ironic

[MrNatethegreat34]

danger mouse is a musical genius

[NeemaHmzd]

Religious View: Danger Mousian

[rdyohad14]

danger mouse is a g

[tanner87]

They need to release a 'live at the boat' LP!

[jim80NES]

the shizznit

[scyth118]

If you can't play your music live like it is on your CD, or on Itunes, you aren't worth a damn.

Hats off to Broken Bells for being true.

[bubbamackdaddy69]

@scyth118 good both ways though.... I like it when bands at times play and sound different live though ... if that was the case all the time why spend money to see a concert, stay home and listen to the CD.. I know what you mean but sometimes the live fuck ups, or more intense or whatever "Live" is awesome..

[meatvision22]

what kind of guitar is james mercer playing!!! its awesome and i can't find it anywhere!

[swanizback]

@meatvision22 it's a Vox Wildcat, a guitar produced for Vox in Italy by Eko during the sixties

[gingerman6000]

Also Danger Mouse is made of zombies.

[gingerman6000]

james mercer can go fuck himself

[2melater]

this is what i needed. broken bells.

[dvt1393]

James... why is everything you do amazing? Danger Mouse... why do you have so many fucking talents? Please, let me know ASAP.

[The4pinks]

At 3:22 the lyrics are so good. Wish this was on the album. Just a credit to the creativity of this band to never stop making wonderful music better!

[RadioDJBorton]

James Mercaer please go back to the Shins! PLEASE!

[heafy103]

I wish this version was available for download

[mrtropicalpuppy]

@heafy103 if you buy the cd just place it in your computer and you can coppy it on you iPod if that's what you wanted to do...

[tanner87]

i got this song on Single of the Week on itunes, but would have paid 99p plus for it, brilliant song

[Lordpet8]

You can see "The Ghost inside" 0:50

[92fonz]

wth is wrong! this song should have millions of views!

[nerf451]

I'm glad they're finally getting some attention. though, ~200,000k isn't enough

[CatastrophicDisease]

Is that . . . Danger Mouse?

[cheeseman991]

@CatastrophicDisease Yep!

[MrToyFrisbee]

This blows the doors off the album version.

[oleole52]

The chords and arrangement sound like the Beegees.And I mean that as a compliment.

[crockett5]

No wonder these guys are good.. the lead is one half of the Gnarls Barkley duo and he also produced the second Gorillaz album as well as a lot of other stuff. He knows his shit in other words. 8P

[crockett5]

@crockett5 edit.. the Drummer not the lead. (aka Danger Mouse)

[carekatt23]

can't get enough



[teacrazymama]

ok i am sorry but i have to say that james mercer looks exactly like a muppet character here...but the best singing muppet i ever heard!

[multimediamakemusic]

@SorenHume it's about suicide/depression

[multimediamakemusic]

@SorenHume it's about suicide/depression

[jdahm17]

I thought this was the shins the first time i heard it too...

[kenneth1lian]

@jdahm17

yeah the singer is james mercer from the shins

[SIONE121]

great song. 

[jernov91]

unfortunately not my cup of tea.....

[ConfucianScholar]

Damn, these guys are goood!!

[DoubtfulSceptic]

The sign of a true artist...sounds just as beautiful live as he does in the studio.

[thefruitleather]

my generation must realize that there is great music out. dig deep, my fellow peers.

[tarhodes38]

would love to sit in and watch them create this music,geat stuff

[sucker4life09]

i want to cry. this so beautiful.

[Binaural0504]

heard them on the sirius..this is "real" music

[wanxvii]

awesome!!!

[blahuga]

Vocals in the end are so amazing in this version.

[Impostor82]

@blahuga true

[cuddypyne]

@Impostor82 instant classic

[MrBlemph]

Not many bands sound better live than on recordings anymore. These guys are definitely one that sound awesome either way.

[DrumminBird]

Finally something interesting to listen to that isn't Tool. One of the greatest bands I've heard in a good while.

[STskittz]

Vevo- if you want to make us watch commercials, please pick ones that aren't shitty or annoying...AKA progressive commercials. Damn you Flo.

[duvalle814]

Mr. Mercer is my new boyfriend :)

[EmmyCupcake98]

@duvalle814 skank

[MrDuster20]

This guy has an amazing voice. Such a good song.

[xjakemarinx]

did anyone else see the carbon dioxide coming out of james's mouth?

[segroves]

@xjakemarinx yes! hah 

[RockVolv740]

@xjakemarinx yeah what the hell was that? ..a ghost

[xRA1D32x]

Everything James Mercer touches is golden.

[EllenMcDonald1]

@xRA1D32x i could not agree more!~

[mozo25]

the lead singer looks like skiny wizzywaiter. am i right?

[EMILIUSification]

any music with danger mouse's hands is good music...period

[WFC1972]

This beat is so tired!

[boomboom23]

Why are you guys hating on Vevo? They are the ones that shared this great video with us.

[ironcntry]

I'll stick with bleak, where are the artists like the Talking Heads, REM, The Tragically Hip to name a few. Having to hunt was never an issue, today it seems to be the case.

[thefruitleather]

@ironcntry try harder.

[randomkrimez]

why does smoke come out of his mouth at 0:51 - 0:53

[valor423]

@randomkrimez chilly in there

[regg94]

@randomkrimez it might be cold

[christyj1978]

@randomkrimez maybe it is cold in there!

[EZtrollin]

can danger mouse back up music that doesn't end up rocking?

i think not

[malaverde13]

wheb i was stoned i thought they said "cause we like to smoke and ride"XD

[foryourlove89]

Steve Miller in the begining...YES, love that.

[dillinger9999]

FUCK VEVO

[AwshomeneshShquared]

These guys are amazing live.

[minerva28]

Gran versión!

[nk6970]

Fuck you vevo

[Avatarxz]

It's ironic that after Danger Mouse's "Gray album" masterpiece.

And Capitol's sease and desist order...Broken Bells is a kick in their corporate p-p's.

The whole album is screaming...Meet The Beatles..er, I mean The Beatles Meet Icehouse and Pink Floyd.

I Love It!

It's the summer of '69 revisited.

Avatarxz

d;o)

[youfan89]

this is what real artists sound like

[analogWeapon]

@youfan89 real artists also sound like other things too.

[jeannebug1]

They deserve to win the grammy

[Treadwell61]

It's taken at least a year for me to find this song...it's haunting...it's cool...it's a nice throw back...big ups to DANGER MOUSE (Crazy ft. Cee-Lo fame)...Check out the The other High Road "video"...Deep is good!
