  • Wait... Do my eyes decieve me?... Playing at Crighton Theatre in Conroe Texas on 06/18/11?! Please tell me this is true! It would be well worth the drive from Cypress to hear you live!

  • Love the way Jack starts to deconstruct the song and starts dropping into the Void at 2:00 in this video. Truly brilliant!

  • Holey Moley!! Playing in Portland! I'll be there for sure. are you aka'd as Root Jack? because I don't see Jack Conte listed.

  • Hey, you just stole content from like, 15 radio stations!

  • 16 people watched this video with the mute button on. It's the only explanation.

  • @bentonhunter that still wouldn't be reason to dislike it...

  • it wasn't heart & soul..... its that song in daffy cartoons... merry go round broke down.

    ROFLMAO .... Immawakenow!

  • *chords... hey it early ... break me a piece. lol

  • the limitations and restraints of the body & mind.... & time?.... just guessing.

    Thank god you did something with these cords.... been playing them for years and driving myself crazy... all started when fooling around with the tune heart & soul.

    This song is beautiful in my eyes!

  • Great song, but does anyone know what these lyrics are supposed to mean?

  • DAMN where and how do you get that much equipment?!

  • so much radiohead in this one

  • Wow, some definite ZRadiohead influence in there but with your own original flavour. Brilliant!

  • DUDE YOU ROCK!!!

  • Turn it to the side and celloooooo, you got a bass!!!!

  • multiple cameras, or a camera moving , maybe still shots

  • does anyone know how he gets that "moving" effect (0:03 - 0:05)?

  • @hammyzor What he does is record it twice at two different minute positions, then it's just some editing after that

  • I can't recall ever seeing somerone play the tamborine, WiITH the sleigh bells, it's so genius. You, sir, are a true, and impressive, artist.

  • hauntingly beautiful...

  • I dig the bo on the bass, I've only ever seen Radiohead do that.

  • 15 dislikes?? hmmm must be Bieber fans

  • @unknownchronicles HAHAHA...that's was good;)

  • @unknownchronicles original.

  • @username102030405 i was going to say that! lol

  • @datejanoheat i meant i was going to say that's original, with the obvious sarcasm

  • @SuperiFox i know what you mean dude haha im just saying, the thing thats "in" now is to make fun of People who make fun of beiber

  • @datejanoheat i know, it's stupid, ain't it?

  • what progam do you use for the music parts of your tunes? pro tools? got know clue but i'm looking to get a program what do you suggest?

  • I WANT THAT ROOM!

  • Wow, genius.. just genius!!!

  • Your univers is awesome. I love it. It feels so free, soft and unrestrained in the same time.

  • MUSE + Radiohead = Jack Conte !

  • @mido1600

    ERRRMMM

    no!

    Muse, Radiohead, and Jack Conte are three differnt shades of crazy talent! :D

  • This stuff is AMAZAZING!!!!!

  • asombroso, un saludo desde méxico:), ojala podamos escuchar tu musica por aca algun dia. mi favorita la de yeah yeah yeah;)

  • You're awesome Jack !

  • Brilliant!

  • I just can't stop to admire your masterpieces!

  • so... much... gear...!!!!!

  • I'd like it if you music picked up more. They always seem to keep the same mood the entire time. There's no epitome of emotion most of the time.

  • Wow you're super talented :)

  • I'd like to know what Jack uses to record his music (software wise). If that Macbook is what he does all of this stuff on, then has someone mix it, or does it all himself, or then takes the tracks to another studio, etc. I'd also love to know just what his story his story is!? In the video, he's sitting on the floor turning guitar pedal knobs, but is that just for the video, or is he actually manipulating sound that way? Cuz he's not playing guitar while he's doing it?

  • Now I remember... the last time I was this blown away was when I heard the first MuteMath record. Then came the live DVD which elevated my blown awayness. And now... Jack Conte has made me yet more blown awayer!

  • @jpoprock yeah, agreed all around!

  • Welp, this was pretty much devastating on every level! Sick sick sick talent!!!! I haven't been this impressed in a LONG time!

  • man... aargh, u just a genius.

    really good.

  • you are very inspired by radiohead , you are great men

  • I love it

  • Jack I listen to this every now and then and it suprises me every time. I salute and admire such a true talent.

  • you should really do a deftones cover someday!

  • Are you ever going to be signed to bring your music to the masses?

  • So Mr. Jack Conte, I think I may possibly be in love with you and your music. No joke. You're amazing, in your vocals, instrumentals, putting it all together, and lyrics! Keep it up!

  • just curious, how much of a radiohead fan are you?

    You've got a great great Thom Yorke sound going!

  • @jvadakel11 oops, nevermind that question, I just found your Radiohead cover seconds after I posted. Guess that answers my question! Keep it up though man, you inspire people like me!

  • man dude your awesome!!!

    keep up the good work

  • very creepy but super epic i love it!

  • Dig this song!!! It is truly Genius !

  • Jack, simply your music makes me feel so freedom. This is what I need now.. thanks a lot!

  • I love this. :)

  • You're a real musician, man.

    Whereas most people you'll hear on the radio, aren't even close.

  • This song is my soul.

  • i'v changed my addiction to your music.

    that is bad for me, cos i need to study :O

    KEEP IT UP!!! :DD

  • Agghhh!!!

    The buildup was intense........

    I was waiting for the drumset beat to drop (at about 1:29)....(there was a beat, but no snare..)

    It never came........but its okay :)

    Song still ruled all.

  • Jack,

    your music makes things sort themselves out in my head. Like it was jumbled up, and then fits itself into the right places. Please, dont ever stop that, 'cause it'd suck.

  • Just the right sound reaching just the right person. Just the right note in just the right ear. Your music makes worlds in my head. Worlds I wish I could pack up and move to. Thanks for being everawesome.

  • On average, I probably listen to this song like ten times a day. Your music is simply wonderful Jack. I can't get enough!

  • How long must one of these take. Incredible.

  • geez,good and great

  • Did you break your own VideoSong rule Jack? There are some (sounds like) shaking bells or small tambourine throughout the song. But I never see you playing that rhythm part?

  • That's the glokenspiel :\

  • @psjohnso The tambourine is in there. Watch it again.

  • @ToddBradley ,

    @CommanderCrisp

    Yes he plays the the tambourine and it shows it several times but not quite the pattern that I hear playing at the beginning of the song. There are at least 3 layers of purcussion jingles and not all are playing the same pattern. What I don't see Jack playing the the initial jingle sound that starts at 0:03 sounds more like sleigh bells.

  • I hear no difference in the pattern, you see him clearly playing it... you hear it? You see it, what more do you want haha, he can clearly play the tambourine! :P

  • 0:30 0:38 1:17 1:45

    Paying attention is hard rite?

  • What you might be hearing are metal brushes on a his cymbal. He shows the first use of the brushes at 0:06, the first use of a tambourine at 0:30 and the first use of sleigh bells and tambourine at 1:23. The brushes tend to sound metallic like bells or a tambourine would, so I can understand how you would have heard that. ;-) Hope that was helpful. =P

  • @LanaRaeMusic Sorry I don't think that is it. Pretty sure it is sleigh bells that start at 0:03. btw that particular sound is only coming from the left channel. Use headphones you can hear it clearly. Again... I don't see it being played.

  • @psjohnso Nah, I hear what your talking about....O_o!! He could have waited until 1:23 to show that use of the sleigh bells...?

  • @psjohnso You can see the tambourine throughout the song

  • If you ever come to Denmark I will see you, wereever in the country it is. And if you take your girlfriend/band member with you, that would be very nice :-)

  • hmm I should trying bowing an electric bass

  • The radio @ 2:10 is genius.

  • Genuis at work.

  • Comment removed

  • Just bought everything...since I listened Jack and Pomplemoose for the first time, I'm a total fan...my 2yers old daughter loves them, and not even the songs are great, the videos are fantastic, original and intimist at the same time!! I feel like I know you, and it's such a pity I live in France...any chance of seeing you or Pomplamoose her someday?

  • Does the Tear in the cymbal (are they called cymbals when placed on the drum?), cause a different sound? It always stood out to me, and I was never sure if it was a Sound-altering thing, or just there for badassitutde. :)

  • Awesome! Keep making great music Jack, every month I check back to see if you've got anything new going on :) I hope you release something new soon.

  • That was just plain AWESOME!!!  and just what i needed today, thanks Jack.

  • epic on so many levels.. wow.

  • wow speechless

    this song is on par with radiohead

  • FUCKING FLAWLESS

  • Comment removed

  • man...you're genius!!!

  • The subscription pays well :)

  • Hopefully this is on itunes, 'cause I want to hear this song everyday.

  • This was so intense, I feel like i just learned something.

  • now this is breathtaking

  • Breathtaking!

  • Excellent!

  • Jack! Robisz genialną muzykę. Słucham jak zaczarowany. BRAVO!

  • Wow. The introduction was haunting but perfect.

  • Great work jack. Thanks for posting. I just made it a fav.

  • John Cage would be proud of your radio-playing. good song

  • amazingly amazing..

  • Jack , you are Amazing !!! Very Very Good work !!! ;-)

  • Impressive.  You should go to talentwatch net. More music fans need to check you out!

  • near the beginning when you are playing the drums and its all glitchy how did you get that effect, i would like to use something similar for a school project, so if you could tell me that would be wonderful

    thank you.

  • I think he either recorded it with two cameras, or played the exact same thing, recording it from two different perspectives (yet close) - and then mixing the two together.

  • I am not sure how he's doing it but if you film yourself playing the same drum line 3 times with a slightly different camera angle each time, you end up with three pieces of footage where the actions are more-or-less in sync with each other. Then you can rapidly cut from one shot to another, giving you a similar effect.

  • thank you :)

  • All you need to do it cut out portions of the clip.

  • i just want someone to know that video songs have changed the way i hear music. now i wish that video existed for recordings like sigur ros' staralfur. for the fireworks. arg! damn/bless you

  • I love your soul! k??
