Look at the smile on his face whenever he starts playing the opening notes of dark blue whenever everyone screams when they realize what songs coming on. 2:01 He loves making people cheer. He does it for the music. To make us all happy. And he's fucking amazing at it.
oh my god this is such an awesome video... hes actually lookin into the camera at parts..!! so lucky to be that close..!! i would not have been able to keep the camera as straight as that if i was you... well done..!!
i wish i was able to see them with the fray!! but they arent coming to orlando of course :( and i dont want to drive to ga to see them. but i did get to see the fray 3 years ago so at least ive seen them :)
I love Andrew's face when the opening of the original "Dark Blue" comes in at 2:05. With the crowd cheering he just gives that mischievous smile, that is an adrenaline rush in stereo.
God, this is amazing. Jack's Mannequin is the best. Their concerts are so far above and beyond, I can't even wait to see them this summer. And I've never heard this version of Dark Blue before, I love it! They definately need to re-record it!
Are you guys honestly freaking out about playing the piano and singing at the same time? That is not a hard thing to do, especially a song that's as simple as this. If you're going to point out his musical prowess, you should probably address the lyrics, or the hooks and melodies. The fact that he's playing piano and singing at the same time is a very novice thing to master. He is a very talented man though. I hate the faces he makes when he sings though. Great song though!
I like Andrew, alot, he's who I want to be, He does good at making it interesting considering is stuck at the piano for the songs, keeps moving changing directions, leaving the left hand when it's not necessary to make it more entertaining. He's gained alot of stage presence since something corporate. Killer song wirter,pianist, and singer
I can't fucking wait for the new album!. Jack's Mannequin to me really is unique, there's nothing that sounds like it, I even want to get myself a keyboard cause the one I have isn't big enough so i can't play this song, I'm gonna learn how to play keyboard just for this song lol
And on the streets below The valley glows And I saw clear to San Diego But Hollywood It's where I want to be Where I want to be On the streets below The valley glows And I saw clear to San Fransisco but Hollywood It's where I want to be It's where I want to be Where I want to be Where I want to be Your where I want to be And it was dark blue...
I've heard fall of this year. Buuut it's been pushed back a lot and I think the blog says he's trying to make it like perfect so... it could be a while.
it doesn't yet exist in studio quality (at least if it does, it hasn't been released yet) but andrew did say it was pieces of what could become a full song at some point, so who knows...
i just figured it out, been bugging me for ages trying to find out who he reminds me of, the lead singer........SHERMAN from american pie lol! great band but, i really like that lead singer, he seems cool
haha its funny you should say that. u know Sherman from American Pie was actually in a music video by something corporate for If U C Jordan. if u didnt know something corporate is andrew mcmahon's other band... maybe only i find this interesting.. haha
he sings: and on the streets below the valley glows and i saw clear to san diego but hollywood it's where i want to be where i want to be on the streets below the valley glows and i saw clear to san fransico but hollywood it's where i want to be x 4 and it was dark blue

the intro of this video he is playing
Bb-Eb-Bb (its a Bb5) its a chord and he just
keeps playing it over and over
as for the dark blue part it is
Eb-Bb-Eb-Bb-D-Bb-D-Bb-C-Bb-C-Bb-D-Bb-D-Bb Repeated over and over
at least thats how its played on the guitar i picked up it may be in the wrong key (i think this guitar is half step down but its too late to care)
