[AdriiLovesMusic]

OMG. They're so perfect :')

[anoisimlynsz]

[bernz017]

love acoustic..especially by boys like girls..love them so much:)<3



[WolFang247]

Martin's voice = epic

[paint14872]

if pauls guitar wasn't just very very slightly out of tune, it would have been absolutely perfect. Their voices sound great together

[DedicatedToChanny]

His voice is like...unexplainable. It makes me go all gooey :)

[awakeb4dawn]

This song has been one of the only songs ever written to ever speak to me so truly.

I love BLG <3

[madoxtl]

whos singing the chorus part?

[bananapuffcream1]

@madoxtl Martin sings out the whole song and Paul is the back singer. You can here Paul barely in some parts but you can also tell that kinda struggles.

[madoxtl]

@bananapuffcream1 thanks for the info :D

[bananapuffcream1]

@madoxtl no problem :)

[EthanWHUFC]

@madoxtl

[Dericx11]

[ayinne1208]

I officially now have a crush on this two guys! Haha, I love them and their acoustic sets. :))

[TheVirale]

@ayinne1208 they also like each other. so you're in luck :)

[toyakz312]

damn martin is using a gibson sj-200. beautiful guitar but too damn expensive.

[edmondYJ]

wish my voice can match martin's

[bananaheadrocks101]

Paul actually looks smokin hot in this one love his hat hair

[choke6000]

whooooooo.....!!!!!!!!!i love this band.....^^

[iamgcy]

sucha a good performance by them!

[Thaiboy9119]

damm, it's so good that i can't say anything

[aishaatika]

OMG!! he sing sooo good!!!!

[karlajihil]

wow! wow! wow! how the hell do he sing like that...? the best guy yo sing... that i know! wahaha! the blending is so good! he is the best for me! BLG!!! forever!

[MrLov3Drunk]

@karlajihil he holds his breathe from entering from his mouth and he sings only using his nose to breath .

[karlajihil]

@MrLov3Drunk how man? i still cant get it.. i can sing like him in every verse.. but i can go higher on the chorus.. i use my trough to sing... but still uses my diaphram.. i thing he makes his voice like a kid... the way they talk... i just want to sing like him!

[toyakz312]

@karlajihil hey man,just some advice. try saving your breath before singing the chorus and let it all out when you sing it. that's how i did it but it gets pretty tiring. when you sing the verse try not using your diaphragm. hope this helps.

[karlajihil]

@toyakz312 yey.. from philippines right? pinoy #1! yey! haha.. thanks man.. i will try your advice.. its very hard though.. practice makes perfect.. wahha... my voice is very loud when i sing.. then can hear me from miles away.. LoL... wahahah... its just difficult.. thanks for the advice:)

[toyakz312]

@karlajihil yeah i'm from the philippines. :) just try to practice. i didn't get it the 1st time then i tried that technique and it worked for me. i do have a small voice when i sing. hehe!one more thing,make sure to warm up before you sing or if you want you can try drinking honey. that makes your throat smoother.

[karlajihil]

@toyakz312 thanks man! wahaha.. its very difficult though... honey? okay2x... ill try it... thanks for the suggestions... my voice is very huge... manly... i can imitate martin's voice... but not at the chorus... it makes my head explode.. wahaha!

[toyakz312]

@karlajihil hehe. you just need to practice. reaching for high notes like that is not easy. his falsettos just like two is better than one is pretty hard. yeah try using honey,makes your throat smoother and it won't rust easily.

[SuperSonicSkyline]

is it just me or does paul look like jack barakat from all time low? i dunoo. i just thought he did.

theyere both amazing

love BLG :D and Alt obvs :D x

[OhNoFireMen]

EXACTLy wHAT WE THOUGHT TOO!

Just that jack is kinda more outspoken

[Coreytherocker]

@SuperSonicSkyline anno, ive commented that on so many of their acoustic videos! :D Jack Barakat, Alex Gaskarth, Martin Johnson, Travis Clark and Paul (Don't know his last name D:) are like my main inspirations! and Jack and Paul are deffinately twins! :D

[vboytan]

Guitars are freakin beast as hell.

[englwood47]

gotta love his falsetto.

[LahvYouhh]

BLG = Best band ever! Dam Martin is SO sexy..

[lichlich123]

im amazed at how he can change his pitch on the fly

[purpleluver74]

for real!!!! its kinda creepy though

[mattchoo1]

beautiful guitar...

[mvonnelovemusic]

which gibson guitar are they both using ?

[dannylama]

the one on the left is using a gibson J200, im not as sure about the other

[15688brian]

i love the beginning

[CrazyWayToFly]

omg... they always play open tuning!

[notjudgementday]

u say that like theres something wrong with that

[time4talent]

i love his voice...hope mine is as perfect some day..fml i try

[mvonnelovemusic]

can i PLEASEEEE have tabs for this if anyone has it ?!?!?! PLEASE ?

[porri00021]

go to ultimateguitar and find it :) (i think it was like that the webpage)

[mvonnelovemusic]

but there's so many...i dont know which is the right exact one... :(

help please ?

[notjudgementday]

just listen. if it sounds horrible when u play it then its wrong

[jancko995]

i'm gonna make a video i hope soon.... but... can't you just look at the video and copy? I learned it just by watching it

[mvonnelovemusic]

im not that good in guitar.....i cant learn by watching...i need tabs. thank you anyway :)

[jancko995]

:) look i'm not "good"/I play drums,..

:) 1st I learned how to play BLG, ... and now i'm rely learning real cords .

[ExplicitGuy]

but its not in standard?

[jancko995]

nope ..

[STASMloss]

The song is played 2 or 3 steps down here. I think Martin might not actually be able to hit the high notes of this song.

[19Lio19]

is this version somehow in a different tune?

sounds different to the album version.

[FabbyGaby]

It sounds different coz its acoustic.

[19Lio19]

i don´t mean the sound itself.

I mean the tune. is it higher/lower than the original?!

[FabbyGaby]

sorry i didnt word it very well, what i ment was i think its the same but just sounds different because its acoustic.

[killerzombie163]

Open C for guitar

[hanhiratio]

awesome harmonizing!

[Megan844]

Aww They look so young here!

Personally, I think Martin's voice sounded better back then, in these videos, than it does now...

And I think Martin seemed a lot more genuine back then. I don't think he's sold out, I just think popularity has gotten to his head a little bit and he's trying too hard to be a rock star... Just my opinion.

But I still love Paul, Bryan, and John just the same as I always have! <3

[drummerman131]

yeah i agree, hes still good but in the older stuff a few years back his vioce was more.........idk, just, in the new album i think they used a little too much effects and not enough BLG

[sk8elementgurl]

so amazing i dont care what people say if you haven't seen them live you dont understand their talent..best band live by far too. they have grown so much since this session its amazing to see their fan base grow.

love boys like girls forever<3

martin's voice is so amazing he has such a range i think thats one of the reasons people get captured by his voice.

[muvindubinoy]

nice song nice band :]

[haveuseenautumn]

Is there anyway this can bepurchased so it can be downloaded on a MP3 player? I like this one and love their Let Go. This versions acoustic is wonderful.

[Megan844]

I'm pretty sure these are on iTunes :)

[musikkluver94]

Yeah they are

[sisijaja]

Maartin <3

Paul<3

I'm a fan of BLG =) But i live in morocco ... So i Can't See them :(

I learn The solo of The great escape & thunder :D

[clariciob]

i love martin and paul *--*

[TitomTitom00]

They rock <3

I love Boys Like Girls so much <3

[BassGuitarBoss1]

no problem

[dukegrl09]

whos Poolie?

[Megan844]

Paul, the guitarist. :)

[jesssssica123]

i truleyyy believe Martin Johnson's voice is loveee :)

[meirock5]

Paul Digiovanni is awesome :)

[xarepe1]

can someone plz tell me which model is the Gretsch guitar that Martin's playing?

[BassGuitarBoss1]

well i dont think thts a gretsch, i think its a gibson sj 200 whick costs a fortune:) hope it helped

[xarepe1]

yeah it helped xD

really thought it was a gretsch

thnks :D

[BassGuitarBoss1]

ur welcome :D

[stupivideoswithKnE]

I love when Poolie sings with Martin on the acoustics. It just adds to Martin's voice and it makes them sound even MORE amazing [if that's possible.. :)] I ,3 when they sing the acoustic versions. But that does mean Bryan and John aren't involved, which sucks. But I do love Marty and Poolie! :)

[stupivideoswithKnE]

Sorry if I made any typos. I got absolutely NO sleep last night. Maybe like 2 seconds of sleep... lol

[Brodo413539]

blg is amazing accoustic and live! better than normal!!!

[Pumpkie234]

I've listened to this so many times that I completely forgot what the recorded version sounded like, so when I went and listened to it I was like "Woah. Live version's is just as good if not better!"

[mikeywayisthesex]

wow, he can really sing!

[realblonde4ever]

wow. i am completely shocked that anyones voice can possibly be this good live. its amazing!!

[whatever12492]

i like it when martin sings the high notes of the chorus. amazing :)

[OMGPOPROX]

i absolutely love this band. especially the acoustic versions of their songs. they have great voices and their lyrics are so touching and true. i wish they would make a new album...

[lastregrets1]

OMHPOPROX:

Boys Like Girls new album, Love Drunk, is being released on September 8th of this year. You can hear the single, Love Drunk, now. :)

[letsgomets2590]

its coming out september 8th!

[masquerade34]

i know man! i;m so excited.

[letsgomets2590]

you're tellin me .. i got the presale package =] ..

[geniusofuniversus]

very talented musicans

[matthaswomanlylegs]

aw i love his voice!

[thebestskaterever]

sooo good, lol u so dont expect his voice to go that high when he sings that low in the verse

[dancerj]

Awesome song! >3 (L)

[nate045]

the guitar is nice

but pls shut up!

horrible

[MADFREAKU]

ur horrible

[Aczay08]

faaarr i would suck the guys cock .

[danueh]

wooooor...so hammer..geil..hammer..toll :)

ich bin verliebt :)

[Tidussamax]

very nice =)

[hodayat]

LOVE IT!!!

[dxrules1012]

oh wow, This is so good, even like not in the studio, No voice altering he is 2 good for that.

[luminator1234]

I love how Martin's voice is so natural, and it is no different from the album when he sings live. This goes to show that he doesn't need a voice editing program like most singers do.

[Azumaza]

But he does need to play the song a few steps down so that he can hit the notes live.

=)

[verbalizeray]

Absoutely terrific. Their original version was brilliant, but a simple 2 guitar can equal to the album version. Now I dunno which 1 I like more...

[aghujiithaa]

percfect!

[aaa123s321]

los amoooooooooooo

[iyrom]

awesome
