  • to my woman lol

  • jiMMJames!!! Jim is one of the greatest frontmen of all time.

  • jim james, god? or godlike?.... you decide

  • @nosoul28 I think it's pronounced yim yames

  • I was in love with a girl but I had not taken the time to recognize that she was mentally unstable, it ended very badly. Ultimately I became depressed and in retrospect I should have told people how terrible I felt instead of telling them I was sick to explain my physical appearance. I get chills every time I listen to this, it brings back memories of cold, dark, almost euphoric melancholy.

  • Thumbs up als je de ondertiteling kan lezen :)

  • ahhh look at that guitar.. is that a gretsch? it looks liek it

  • @Travmapunk I hope you go through the stuff that dudes gone through. Your either an immature little kid or a lonely bored immature 30 year old. Grow up.

  • wow, that speech really got to me. ive met a girl who loves me for me. she definitely doesn't agree with everything I say, and I don't agree with her all of the time, but no matter what happens, we always come back together in the middle with a smile on our faces, holding hands, knowing this happiness is pure, but im always scared it will end unexpectedly and my world will implode.

  • @eliasaviana jim james bad singing? are you on crack?

  • @eliasaviana its poor audio quality, jim james' voice is awesome, in the true sense of the word.

  • jim james is my idol

  • Amazing....i want this without the interview tho :-(

  • NO. Most likely you won't.

  • @lenahjonsson u never know....

  • just enjoy the music jeeeesh

    

  • Wake the fuck up! Stop the narcissism and think about the world! Suffering is everywhere.

  • piet rodenburg is a really good geluidsnabewerker

  • Jim James is too fucking brilliant.

  • Is there a video of just Jim singing minus the interview? Lovely song, truely.

  • @pleased2freeze Nope. Sorry.

  • @pleased2freeze watch?v=-pTNsgiDIxc here pls :D have fun.

  • i don't think i have heard anything so amazing in a long time or possibly ever

  • this is so pure

  • this is too good. it's just too golden. love love love. in love. all day long.

  • This song blows my mind everytime I listen.

  • This song is just beyond what makes music Amazing.

  • My very good friend and I were supposed to listen to My Morning Jacket together, because we heard their name from a television show and wanted to know if they were good.

    He passed away on Sunday due to a car accident with his friends... I'm listening to this song and crying because he never got to experience this band. I wish I would have never procrastinated with listening to it.

    I love you, Brynan Bell <3.... 3-13-11.

  • @TheLonelyBarnacle r.i.p brynan

    

  • @TheLonelyBarnacle hey man.. i know you posted this many months ago but did you watch MMJ's storytellers on VH1 and hear what jim james said about their song "dondante?" maybe you'll like it. hope you're well.

  • Relax : definición gráfica

  • @alba95ekilicua Definición acústica xD

  • @crestifugitivo acustica, grafica... qué mas da? el caso esque es mu buena! jajajaja

  • @alba95ekilicua Definición acústica xD

  • sweet

  • he has such a beautiful voice :)

  • I was there holding here hand when my wife of 43 years passed away March 24 2009 at the young age of 61. To all of you folks out there, live your life like you don't have tommorow because you may not. Just spend a few moments as often as you can thinking about what is important in your life. It might make your life better.

  • @2members i'm sorry to hear that i wish you all the best

  • @2members Thank you, truly. You are proof how powerful the 'butterfly effect' can be today, and how easily experienced and seen, because of the internet. Take care of yourself and you are a lucky man to have spent 43 years with a woman you obviously loved so much. You're an inspiration, be well and I will take what you said to heart.

  • @2members - thank you for sharing.

  • @2members Oh, hi! Of course, the fact that your wife died automatically makes you a fountain of infinite wisdom and you become a Guru of everything, but i have one question:

    Your wife of 43 died "young" at 61? Sounds like fucking nonsense to me? Did i miss something, Guru?

    P.S. Oh, sorry, i didn't want to disrespect no ones corpse, it's just... see, i don't like 'pink slobber') Cheers, hope you'll find you a new 'ride')) You know what i'm saaayin'(-_o)

    Stevie Griffin.

  • @Travmapunk You must be as fucking stupid as you are inconsiderate, he said his wife of 43 years, as in they were married for 43 years, passed away at 61. That make sense Prick?

    Also he never proclaimed to be a "fountain of infinite wisdom", he was giving some advise that a difficult time (his wife passing) had taught him. You can choose to take it or leave it. He was not trying to preach, instead pass on something positive after an understandingly negative experience.

    P.S. grow the fuck up!

  • @soundgardenrule WOW! Bitch is mad?!!

  • @Travmapunk

    Imagine how you would feel if the love of your life for the past 43 years passed away. Someone you were used to waking up next to and going to sleep with. For 43 years. And they one day left. He's not mad, he's just trying to talk some sense into you in a aggressive manner. You have to understand that 2members wasn't trying to gain popularity or anything else by making that post; they were trying to share life experience from the undoubtedly long life they've lived.

  • @Godsend2290 Your words are just staggering! Thank you for letting me see the gist of the DOCTRINE!!

    You touched the deepest and most sensible organs of my body...

    Now i'm crying inside... with blood.

    P.S. By the way: "Talking to someone in aggressive manner" = being mad(angry)...))

  • @2members my life is worthless

  • @2members

    cheers. I´ll take a glas of whiskey of you. Sorry for that, what happened......

  • @2members March 24, 2009 was three days before my tenth birthday. I am really sorry. Wonderful advice, thank you. :)

  • American Dad s05e07 brought me here....

  • @FaceManBDSC doesnt he look better in the cartoon than in this video? lol

  • It's decent music. But headlining for Wakarusa 2011? C'mon... Really?

  • @mobako MMJ has many styles of music and will kill at Wakarusa. They are one of the better live bands out there. Don't judge them on this song alone. Although this song is pretty amazing...

  • @mobako you're actin like that wakarusa is the biggest thing ever

  • I take it as "As long as you can take it, maybe I can too." As long as you don't start crying, maybe I won't start crying either.

    This song hurts my soul. Beautiful, beautiful song; minimalistic, yet powerful.

    And in every sense reminds me of my grandmother. My Morning Jacket, you encapsulate what feelings are like in your music. I love it. Brilliant stuff.

  • @allitalics I love you... You just blew my mind.

  • Comment removed

  • his voice is like an angel...its like a combination between fergie and jesus! *melts from his eargasmic voice*

  • @666Athea did you actually compare fergie's screeching voice and jesus to this guy? this makes no sense.

  • @TheBlackenedWHITE That would be a movie quote, go out side some time.

  • @TheBlackenedWHITE That would be a movie quote, go outside some time.

  • @TheBlackenedWHITE haha its from the movie step brothers i was saying his voice was amazing so its a good thing :P

  • late to the party because of the lack of an ear to the street as you get older but these guys are the kind of thing we need in music. glad a younger friend told me about them. sad when 37 is old as dirt! anyway what an amazing sound! LIGHTER IN AIR HERE JACKET!

  • i love his singing, he may not reach SUPER HIGH NOTES or something like that but it can reach your heart easily, when he sings he put his heart on every word and you can hear that :') he sings so sincerely... its so beautiful :')

  • Comment removed

  • Wow! This is beyond amazing. Jim James is one the best singer/songwriters of our generation. INCREDIBLE! What talent. The clarity. The intellect.

  • I love the natural parking lot reverb.

  • goosebumps....

  • goosebumps...

  • Fuckin Beatiful!

  • kinda made me wanna cry.....made me think of my relatives <.<!?

  • this song reminds me of "everybody hurts" a little bit

  • I know I'm late to the party - better late than never! - but it's always great to discover a band that you like. And I like these guys a lot after just discovering them on Letterman last night. Rock on!

  • I'm a man and this song makes me wanna cry.

  • best voice ever!

    long running debate with my gf.ha

  • me 2 amrican dad is when i heard of this band but the sweet

  • american dad brought me here

  • skeet skeet skeet! lol

  • Fleet Foxes are Great

  • I'm glad Pandora radio played me a song of theirs. I now have all their albums. Great songwriting & singing. Some songs make me tear up a little.

  • so hes saying he will be there when you die only if you dont cry as your lying there in your last breaths, "as long as you keep a straight face, i will be there when you die"

  • @Ucfspencer hes saying keep a straight face throughout life. Dont be changed by these things around you. Or maybe not but thats how i took it

  • when was this shot?

    

  • too good....def my fave song .. .just wish i was that mans voice

  • I just heard them for the first time in American Dad. I literally felt like the Dad at the concert when he discovered their music. This is just so pure, its very touching. Amazing band. Truly amazing.

  • @AhKittyCat123 I had the same experience, I heard one song and immediately (sorry to say) downloaded all the albums.

  • this band is so frickin awsome .. there music changed my life in a good way and they set an example to me ..... its sad that this genre of music or at least how they do it is dying out ....... sad

  • totally changed my view on this song

  • there will be bigotry and there will be open minds

    there will be days of peace; you'll never have the time

  • HELLO EVERYONE

    The metal militia will be attacking Justin Bieber's video (justin bieber baby ft. ludacris) on the FOURTH OF JULY! Assemble all fans of good music in every genre! (Jazz, Metal, Classical, etc.) On said date leave a comment giving your thoughts on JB, close the comment with -MM. Copy and paste this comment to all the good band videos! (Slipknot, CC, Slayer, Anthrax, KoRn, black Metal, classical composers, jazz composers etc.) Thumbs up this commen

  • @guitaro465 hey just cuz his music does suck doesnt mean that you gotta go and do that ..... there r some people who do like him and they dont attack your type of music .. i dont like him either but hey its my opinion and im held to it

  • @guitaro465 lmao i loved the Korn, black metal part

    since when korn is a good band? LMAO or slipknot? and how can you like both slipknot and black metal? you f* poser :( thank god im not 13 anymore

  • @Bananomon wow is all i can say

    u have so much time on ur hands that u go to a coment and try to pick a fite?

    de reson i lft the coment is becuz i hate justin beiber,

    nt kuz i wanted 2 start a fite wit som guy

    and didnt u figure out that their not the only ones i lik, becuz i left it on a MMJ video(whom i actualy like more) and the reason i did is because im pised dat fags like justin beiber wit no talnt r getin singd wen gd band like mmj arnt! im prety sure im yunger than u,odd im more mature

  • @guitaro465 but you have enough time to pick fights with biber fans lulz why would you be pissed? just leave them alone and yes your comment was shameful and

    you deserved a nice comeback.

  • @Bananomon first of all u should blame who ever started spreading it, i jst got it off a noder vid

    2nd this cudv been over but u jst needid to have the last word.

    the thing is u dont realy giv a shit about jstn beeber, ur jst some arogant kuntt who wants a fight on u tube,

    dont evan bother replying kuz im not wasting my time reading comments that some fukhead sends because hes so insecure about himself, he has to findf falt with evrything he finds

  • @guitaro465 i will blame you aswell, you posted that because you wanted to.

  • what genre

  • "long as you keep a straight face" keep it real. love that!

  • Fleet Foxes and My Morning jacket sound completely different, man.

    I still love em' equally though.

    It's a tie between Fleet Foxes, My Morning Jacket, and Grizzly Bear for me :P.

  • @meowzero Yeahh twilight sucks bro I would be ashamed to hear mmj on there...

  • please announce summer tour dates soon. buf >tor>ottawa>mtl. pretty please?

  • sounds like fleet foxes....in any way this is amazing! i am hapy that there are still bands like these.....

  • @wholewheatbagel

    easy..we're all listening to the same good music here..

  • @mauriesl

    eh. he sings too good to play any solos over.. haha. enjoy friend. i didnt mean to come off as an asshole...it just comes naturally.

  • @mauriesl

    sorry. that haitus really got to me.

  • @wholewheatbagel fleet wishes they were as good as mmj. fleet puts on this folk act and its kinda gimmicky

  • @wholewheatbagel I don't get the whole my morning jacket and fleet foxes comparison. Both lead singers have smooth, dynamic voices, so naturally people piss themselves and then they blackball one band because they've drawn this delusional conclusion that one is ripping off the other. They sound nothing alike, retards. And they're both great.

  • ❤❤❤

  • ...Kinda Neil Youngish..

  • I can't wait for the next album.

  • Can't wait for the next album...

  • i will never get over this interview/performance

  • ❤

  • Best Band E V E R :3

  • look its jesus with a hat

  • whyd he get -4. jim is jesus.

  • @wholewheatbagel he even looks like him lolz !!

  • His mustache is wildly uneven.

  • haha!! lol dude

  • @SniderJ335

    now that u mention it :D :D, like they filmed the video right when he wanted to finish trimming it :D

    great voice though

  • Elite that is true. They were on a Am. dad, and Guitar hero 5 game. believe me, enough people have heard about them. It is just not the normal mtv/radio listening audience. Like many bands before them: primus, nofx, ween, flaming lips, tmbg, etc. they are right on the border of the mainstream and being a night club band. a great place to be if you ask me

  • I agree with that

  • i don't understand why there is even a debate on this band standing apart. Every single member has more talent in their left nut sack then half the acts out there

  • I agree, but are you saying the members of My Morning Jacket have TWO nutsacks?! OMG...

  • no donluchitti, not "any genre" can be pop music.. popular doesn't indicate that the music is simply popular/well-known, it denotes a mainstream popularity which bands who actually have some credibility (i.e. MMJ) lack.. that is, they reject the normal, mass-produced, nickelback/hinder-type garbage

  • anyone that doesn't hear this guy's soul pouring out of every second of this song is deaf and dumb. THAT'S what sets these guys apart from bands like green day or nickelback or any other garbage radio band. you can tell they are dedicated to their craft and it shows.

  • Fuckin' A!

  • what sets bands like these apart is they only have a hardcore following when bands hit mainstream the music people try to filter their work to appeal it to bigger numbers and sell more cd's (im from the uk they arent known here at all) its like when pendulum made a mainstream song (they normally do rave songs but this one was like a greenday song ) it was a no 1 and it was an ok song but the pendelum fans hated them for it. these are a true band they are a dying breed

  • Comment removed

  • good work on that post, friend.

  • @homersimpsonucf im in love with this soul. its a meaning i understand.

  • @homersimpsonucf i agree with the rest but actually green day is a very good band their recent album is the one that made them sound stupid like 21 guns and stuff thqat sux but their old songs were alot better please give them a chance

  • @homersimpsonucf... I'm with you on Nickelback, but Greenday is really a great band. Greenday has more mass appeal than mmj I think, but mmj's music is on a much more profound level...their message is true, and the quality and talent are outstanding

  • @homersimpsonucf dude its not that people cant hear that its just that people arent into that, some people arent emotional and you need to be really emotional to like this, or got to be gay haha

  • @homersimpsonucf dont diss greenday, they are pure talent

  • @popopo2311 Talent that came out of a homless guys ass.

  • @HitThat94 definately nit better than mmj

  • @HitThat94 fail...

  • @HitThat94 one of the top 10 things you shouldn't ever want to defend- sorry man...

  • @HitThat94 Uh no. No they're not.

  • He needs echo and reverb for his vocals.

  • @homersimpsonucf Dude just because these guys are having a strange dedication about their music doesn't mean that green day/nickleback suck... if that's your opinion (and also other 56 persons) it is wrong. You may not like those bands but it doesn't mean that by your declaration they are "garbage"...I like My morning jacket, but i also like green day. Is that possible? I guess so.

  • @SuperSerialnumber I can mostly agree with you on that.I think greenday is good. They kept mainstream punk alive in the 90's and have since faded. but they are still a good group. nickelback..... ehhhh. they kinda suck. haha.

  • @homersimpsonucf

    id have to agree with u...but i thiink that nickleback and green day started of really well.then just got mainstream...they had some good music that ment alot to some ppl..me being one.

  • Jim's voice reminds me sadly of the five for fighting guy's voice.

  • my morning jacket obviously likes American Dad.why would they agree to be in it otherwise.... people bitching bout either should just fuck off

  • honestly, musically, there isn't nothin too special with these guys.. oh and I luuuv American dad despite the correct use of 'isn't' and 'nothin' in the same sentence. Dude does have a good voice, but what have these guys done that the others haven't, not much..

  • lol? well ur comment was worth reading? if you dont like it dont listen dont complain about it haha

  • haha, it's youtube dude! my negative sentiments are to be expected as is this little back and fourth too! whatever, but seriously, it's not that I don't like it, its just that can anyone say any pop music is groundbreaking or unique anymore?

  • you consider MMJ to be pop? haha, your musical ignorance speaks for itself...

  • Of course it's pop music, pop stands for popular music and any genre can be pop music. Oh and, "Generic judgemental comment about your comment".

  • @donluchitti pop stands for an era when there was Alot of popular music with the same sounds in away ..... now a days its considers a genre of music not popular music ....JUST SAYIN

  • dude. respect your opinion but i think that what you say is really wrong. everything from the bass to the guitar to jim james is not like anything i've heard.

  • @punchfloor JIM JAMES VIOCE SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE BOB DYLANS 1968- 70...WHEN HE QUIT SMOKING.....

    LISTEN TO THE LIVE SET AT NEWPORT BY JIM JAMES THEN SWITCH ON SOME DYLAN SELF PORTRIAT OR NASHVILLE SKYLINE....ITS THE SAME VIOCE

  • iagreee

  • @donluchitti i respect ur opinion and am just sayin mine for the sake of it .... this band has a diffrent sound ..the guitar is soul the voice is still beautiful wich many people have but cant use to let there soul sing either .. unlike MMJ .. if that makes sense : \

  • you make yourself sound dumb, keep watchin american dad...

  • You seem confused, sir. It is you and American Dad who does the dick sucking. Don't worry, common mistake with you I'm sure.

  • you're a douche

  • i'm pretty sure many people with taste in music and their fans have heard of them. who are you to say nobody has ever really heard them? What do you listen to bud?

  • Is hatin a full time job or what. Jim James is the shit!!! My Morning Jacket much luv!

  • Go fuck yourself. You lord of ignorance. This man has one of the most original voices in music today.

  • umm excuse me but shut the hell up. i dare u to be half as good as my morning jacket.

  • stop ruining this page with all this banter.  reserved only for discussion on how good this song/interview is

  • who brought up MMJ on twilight? give me a break. by the way, that's a young looking yim yames.
