Another awesome song!

[sirgrizzly90]

Are you Beatles-famous yet? Because you should be. 

[EthanRounds]

Jack Conte: Angriest bass player ever.

[bsmsk8R]

good to see you actually get dressed now.

[baamenabar]

You sir are truly gifted, clearly, music is your mother language, and English a mere second language.

[robotsforever]

Jack your music is truly phenomenal, and I mean this in the most genuine way, but how do you pay the rent.

[danielscanlan34]

OOO myyy god seriously i had this song in a dream!!!!!!!

[MrRaembow]

Reminds me of WTF? - OK Go

[puttyhands]

This song reminds me of an OK GO song. Collab with popular youtube artists???? :D (Love all your work, congrats on all the success)

[bannanatree]

Jack you're among the very few unbelievably good, original musicians out there that are genuinely nice people :D

[taniatuning]

[lumanikus]

The builds are awesome, love that drama ebb and flow, ebb and......flow

[chrichdrewchrisryan]

COME TO FSU COME TO FSU COME TO FSU COME TO FSU

[whereamigoingnow]

100 to 1 [likes vrs. dislikes] Phenomenal.Math doesn't lie.

[steve1911]

Jack. You are an extremely talented guy, but do this please: axe the kiddie xylophone, and get a real drum set.

[steve1911]

@steve1911 You could get away with kitsch before, but we want to take you seriously.

[pisswig]

Badly drawn boy.

[jonesrebel]

I've always wanted to make VideoSongs, but I don't know where to start. You can do that for us, teach us how?

[InFlameProductions]

how o you maintain a perfectly regular level of beard? I'm a girl so I've never had to deal with beard grooming issues. but I'm suddenly curious.

[TheAcesand8s]

Keep being you, Jack! You rock. Tour! DO that for the fans! DO IT! DO IT!

[tikarina02]

oh wow this one, no words man! keep it up

[Crazyman1569]

whoah, you have a strat?

[musicalkayla16]

Does anyone happen to know what type of video editing software he uses?

[badgerdeluxxxe]

Dear Jack Conte,

I want to be you.

[follonic100]

Mr.Jack: could we know what planet you come from ?; greetings from Spain(planet Earth)

[jamo2006]

Jack: just so you're aware: if you'd released this music "back in the day" when you could sell albums and music meant more, you'd be a gigantic success. Everything is so diluted now.... please keep making the tonal love :)

[kyrkydo1]

promosso con la lode!!!

[davehd1]

wow jack great stuff

[Chromeman001]

I simply want more covers of YOUR favorite music.

[BadChizzle]

That's a great idea! Some kind of contest or drawing and the winner gets to do a video with you. Oh man, Jack, it would be so Cool to be able to work with you on something!

Yeah... That's the ticket（＾Ｏ＾☆♪

[HaywireHaywood]

You should change your name from Jack Conte to Jack Ofallthingsmusical.

[MrRcoomber]

I'd like the vocals to be a db or 2 higher. But the tune is niceeeee.

[stevencole]

man, you're developing some serious drum chops. nice triplets.

[joshuapickenpaugh]

fantastic! keep em coming!!

[PuttingOnTheFoil]

Fantastic! I love how you take sounds from anything that will make them like water glasses, toy pianos, tape decks, etc. and not just use them, but use them to good effect. Keep at it!

[idriss98]

i love itt ---  Sent From jackcontemusic's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[duvy1234]

Jack, jack, jack! You're music is to die for!!! It's so mysterious and amazing!!! I love all of it, but I gotta say, "I Know" is my favorite! Your lyrical amazingness is superbly showcased in that song!! I love this too! You're like a total hero LOL !

[prinzd]

This is absolutely amazing in every way. The production is insane. Love the vocal line as well. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world Jack :)

[diamondhut]

I just want you to keep making music.. Write or cover some harder metal songs like "Gulf" That song kicks massive ASS! But honestly bro, just seeing you happy and filled with joy does make all of our lives better and smile on our end. But yeah, we love your music too.. Peace

[gypsy200217]

@diamondhut I agree! I love it all, but I'm missing the harder (vocal) stuff!

[HaywireHaywood]

@gypsy200217 Yea, I love "Gulf". I wish Jack would do more like it.

[ryanlerman]

Soooooo good!!! LOVE that hook. Badass.

[medicinebearmusic]

8 people have no soul

[motorishot]

@medicinebearmusic hahah

[datejanoheat]

My favorite on the record.

[Gh0stPreacher]

How'd you learn to mix and master so well? I've always wondered your process and how you learned.

[timothynunes]

Uh... wow. So good my head now hurts. Ouch. ;-)



[JaeChongMusic]

@jackcontemusic JUST CONTINUE MAKING AWESOME MUSIC FOR US!!!!

[Mike1967b]

You should write something when you are angry. Do you even get angry? I would like to hear what that would sound like.

[rwebiscool]

I love hearing the Incubus influence in your music. Great stuff, as always.

[taraisthelaw]

your music is my web therapy jack. your music gives me the energy and will i need to get on with my life and is so soothing and reassuring at the same time. thanks for that bro. speaking of doing things for the fans, i'd love to see a short vlog after every videosong again :D

[jonnyjacoustic]

Awesome as usual.

[spamwagon]

Jack , how can I express this... I am a musician- I play guitar and I play drums. I have played for 25 years, for fun, for money. But you are not a musician. You are a step above that, you are a musical artist. You seem to approach every instrument, every effect, as media. You are not a drummer, you are an artistic percussionist, and with your keys, stringed instruments and electronics, you paint a mixed-media masterpiece on an AV canvas. Fucking awesome and a joy to behold. Thank you.

[OttawaOldFart]

Yet another great song, keep it up

[missmia196]

Wow. This was fantastic. I'm so glad I just happened to stumble upon this, because now I can't wait to see more of your work. Keep it up!

[jamo2006]

Your best song yet, Jack. :) Really showcases your growth as an arranger/producer. 

[ThaNat79]

DAAAAAAAAMN that's dope!! Keep it up bro! Great job!

[mgibsonm]

8 people are scumbags

[sweetbutdaring]

Clicked like in the first 2 seconds of the video. I just love your sound. So original. So fresh.

[meeroar]

reaction button's back ?

[mongoose979]

i hate asking this on every vid. but could you pls do a behind the scenes sort of vid that shows us more of the creative process, what order you record in, etc . . . thumbs up !

[RaRaLandEQ]

@mongoose979

If jack were to do so, that would be indeed highly obliged by many,

but, If I am not being rude in saying so, is it not like asking the magician to open the box backstage?

"Just sayin' "

[mongoose979]

@RaRaLandEQ : i hear you. what i'd really like is maybe some guidance on just what comes first in the process. I understand it can be better not to see everything. I don't have any talent near his level but I would like to become good enough to entertain family and friends . .. .

[RaRaLandEQ]

@mongoose979 Touché. Creating music can be like "creating a lego-world". Where do you start? In which order? etc. You can start ANYWHERE and take it ANY PLACE you like. For everybody it's different and you'll only know your own strengths and weaknesses in the music writing process by experimenting and challenging your self : )

Not what you asked, but hopefully encouraging.... Good luck and lots of fun! : )

[megangerfilms]

@mongoose979 I've been wondering that, too, about what order he records. Hope he answers! :D

[TheLionsDenNews]

Absolutely top notch work every time Jack! You absolutely inspire me to find the same passion in my own life that you have for music!

[mirronics]

Cool song! :-)

[soulos90]

i was just thinking about how great the quality of the full length music videos, that you produce ridiculously often, is.

[MaceWright]

Sounds great. This is another song that might benefit from an improv solo in the center. Btw, loved the full chord with the multitude of heads.

[eprotz]

YEAH! I was missing you Rock Conte!

[DominiqueGould]

I really like the lyrics. Music is fantastic as always.

[AmuseMe543]

I love this. Nice to see you're using that Strat instead of the Martin. (Not saying the Martin isn't totally awesome.)

[andrewerath]

Jack, serious question. Was there one band in particular that really inspired you to make music? Something I've wondered for a while.

[MoxxyPrime]

I just want you to remember, some of us bought Goats for you... :D

[jackcontemusic]

@MoxxyPrime - oh man - you guys are goat team? you're the best!!!! that was years ago. thanks for still being here and watching and listening. i need to do something nice for my fans. honestly - what can i do for you guys? i feel like i owe you all so much. it's because of you all that i'm still making music. give me some ideas! what can i do for you? give me some ideas!

[FlorcitaTosita]

@jackcontemusic Keep on doing what you do, man! Please, keep on doing what you do! :) I love your music!

[luvmissa]

@jackcontemusic Nice is cranking out sounds. Fantastic is going on tour. I too buy goats that bleat, go to concerts in Brooklyn, and just love being around for the whole ride!

Cheers, Melissa

[wobblism]

@jackcontemusic Make us a song featuring sounds from the goats and chickens, or another of those kick ass animations (although don't blow them up like you did the fruit)

[MoxxyPrime]

@jackcontemusic -- Well, we haven't seen a good vlog in a while. Really loved the on tour stuff you did. Also, you used to have a pretty kick ass stop-animation intro into your videos, miss those. I see mongoose979 had asked for a behind the scenes vid of the creative process, that would be interesting. And finally, come back on tour, not all of us can get to the bay area to see you. :(

[NeutralNewt]

@jackcontemusic Just knowing that you keep on making amazing music is enough! But as far as ideas go, being a musician myself, I've always wanted to know what goes into your song-writing process--how you come up with all those wickedly clever chord progressions and harmonies, the orchestrations as of late, how you keep the songs short and sweet, and so on. It boggles my mind now and then. :)

[kplazak]

@jackcontemusic - if I could request things of you it would be to put your spin on pop music. I've not enjoyed any artist more than when you are tweeking a good thing to make it great. If you were to pick a song that featured your voice as much as the music... that could be butter! Your original music is good to really good (Mozart being excellent, the step down being "really good") and always entertaining -- please never stop that. Is that helpful input?

[C1pherify]

@jackcontemusic Get together with Nataly and cover 'Still Alive' from Portal! :D

[Quixotic1018]

@C1pherify YES!!!!!

[AmuseMe543]

@jackcontemusic IT would be great if you did more behind the scenes and stuff, personally I find the way you approach writing music and recording very interesting.

[Quixotic1018]

@jackcontemusic Since you did the Mario Bros and Angry Birds theme, how about a version of all the Zelda themes mashed up? I'd love to hear your spin on it

[ubikspraymusic]

@jackcontemusic Remix contest of one of your songs!, the winner gets to collab with you!

[samuelhunt2]

@jackcontemusic just keep making more. please.

[galvin227]

@jackcontemusic I think you should make a studio version of Oh Hell.

[IamAsi94]

@jackcontemusic have you ever thought of making a song with a jazz/cabaret theme? i saw that clip of you playing a little jazz piano on your last USTREAM video before you did "off with his head" and i was like "thats so awesome!!!!!" and it looked like something off the top of your head!

[prboyd]

@jackcontemusic Just keep doing what you are doing. That is a thing that makes me smile!

[deadhope]

@jackcontemusic Make more music. :P

[e2h2tony]

@jackcontemusic

Sextape

[J4KETS]

@jackcontemusic Make more music :) thats all fans want

[MattNeskie]

@jackcontemusic Come to the east coast!

[rlax819]

@jackcontemusic keep making your music! pomplamouse is good but i much prefer your solo stuff!

[e2h2tony]

@jackcontemusic Continue making music please. That's all you need to do to please your fans, your music is incredible

[schizzecazzechea]

@jackcontemusic

Not a damn thing Jack....just keep on kicking ass with music !

Wait.....there is some you can do for us ....make a baby with Natalie! In about 15 years we will enjoy a music genious!!!!!lol

[harvmiester1]

@jackcontemusic

French space-unicorn symphony, with vuvuzelas and a mexican influence. You must include the words: "Dancing fannypack" at least twice in the lyrics, and you must write the song in five minutes.

GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

[bannanatree]

@jackcontemusic

Stay the best musician I have ever heard in my life.

(No pressure bro.)

[TheJoe101]

@MoxxyPrime hahaha that was so righteous! my bandmates and i bought a goat!

[BerlandBypass]

HEY...the old studio!!!

[CaioLugon]

Kartiv2 liked this!!

[valveman12]

Gr8 Job Jack. Really enjoyed it.

[GreenDvil]

man, you're a very good musician, I accept it, you have many instruments, but do not have anyone to play them? That is you have no friends?

[cathalDBrowne]

It's morphin time!

[StephAliceDunn]

this man is a very clever man and a very talented musician, his music is exactly what i look for in music and i'm glad i found him, he needs to be known to the world!!!!

[cranie4]

Wow..Jack another great tune. Don't take this the wrong way but this album SMOKES your previous..which in my opinion is always the goal.

[artbasss]

Hey,Jack!

Interesting to know in which order do you usually record instruments?

Which one is 1st and next etc.

[SvenAndTheFury]

@artbasss He produces his sound so professionally that I would be sure he lays down drums first (if there are significant drums in a song). Vocals usually go on next, but with how meticulously his songs are arranged, I wouldn't be surprised if order doesn't really matter after the drums are tracked.

[RossLH]

Awesome rant, and fantastic song. Gulf is still my favorite, but this lands in a solid 2nd place.

[kartiv2]

I love you!

just saying..

[BigJoyMonster]

NEW SONG!! How come Jack's back at the old house? Thought pomplamoose shifted house.

[ellystt]

YAY! Conte's back to his old self... sort of...

GREAT SONG!

[sabawernessfull]

how is pomplamoose doin?

[acoustechtony]

@sabawernessfull Hush! Don't make him leave us again! I went over a year without any new Jack Conte music because of that band, so as far as I'm concerned, it's the devil.

[serolrom]

Hey, I really like that "new flavor" of sound you are getting since Gulf, if you know what I mean.

Cool one!

[jjzapman]

Well okay Jack you can have my soul, If you insist.

[MissRayneHawk]

Jack, have you ever tried Jazz music before..? You seem like the person that would love the challenge of taking up a cover of a jazz song or something. :D

I LOOOOOVE your passion for music. I think that's exactly half the entertainment of watching you; the other half would be your awesome music skillz. <3

[himl994]

@MissRayneHawk

He grew up listening to jazz, so what do you think? XD

[MissRayneHawk]

@himl994 I think.... LOVE! :D <3

[himl994]

@MissRayneHawk

lol

[snboring]

love you jack!!

[YngwiesDaughter13]

lololol I get really excited whenever I see there's new Jack Conte. hahaha

[JyrzRox]

you need shirts. I want something with your face on it for me to wear. If you don't make shirts, I'm gonna make one for myself.

[YngwiesDaughter13]

@JyrzRox Samesies. Use my iron-ons lol

[jakspica]

I've watched all your video songs and I have to ask, how did you get all of those instruments? 

[IBryskov]

it's great.

main string of my soul sounds like this music.

Igor, Saint-Petersburg. Russia

[ICOEPRproductions]

I would love to spend a day in that room of instruments

[hammer59700]

Amazing...

[scottch4444]

that is one hell of a bass face sir.

[MrEvilTwin69]

so cool

[MartijnHover]

303 views, yet 496 ratings, as of this moment (august 3 2011, 12.40 CET.) Is EHX behind that too? ;-)

Another fine song btw.

[travis6240]

@MartijnHover you must be new. Hi welcome to youtube.

[JameseesDt]

Aw... I went into a coda where you ended. Of course musicians who do what others expect them to aren't artists, so I'm OK with it. Just really expected a coda. Maybe that's why I'm not a good musician.

[humorontv]

 three people arent dreaming

[1992Jarhead]

Yet another amazing song. THANK YOU!

[gsr2700is]

Génial! Fantastique! (Great! Fantastic!). Olivier from Belgium

[drdoodle2006]

I know you're straight, but I'm in love with you. And your music <3

[Graehaus]

Love your sound, amazing stuff.

[MadisonStarlight]

i recently quit making music, but you are/were one of my biggest inspirations. thank you man for doing what you're doing and creating genuine honest music, the only kind worth mentioning <3

[MUTEGIO36]

[JoshDee84]

I got to be honest. You're one talented guy but some of your songs scare the sh*t out of me. :-p

[ThomasPurcell1]
