[McCowCow]

8 people are forks.

[mrsmccartney409]

is this song on any of their cd's?

[imuakame]

@mrsmccartney409 it's called "I summon you" off of "gimme fiction"

[paddymcallister]

@mrsmccartney409

Gimme Fiction

[89murmur]

This makes me miss London and Spoon live so much.

[katcomix410]

Britt Daniels is most definetley my hero. just sayin.

everytime i hear spoon, all the BS of everyday life goes away, and it seems everything is clear. :) gotta love this.

[subpink]

is it weird that i giggle like a little school fangirl when he says "i summon you" every time? i've watched this video way too many times in the past two years.

[SoFarAreWe]

@subpink i have at least 500 of these views lol

[SoFarAreWe]

Respond to this video... britt looks like mclovin

[katcomix410]

@SoFarAreWe LMFAO!!!!! he does!! XD

[sKR3Wthepigz]

when he emphasizes beats, it reminds me of randy newman

[hogez10]

the things i would do.

[manrose58]

@hogez10 what? what would you do?

[heckler52]

watch them play this live. it completey shits all over the album version. it's not that the album version is bad... this is just better. britt daniel. every time he opens his mouth and sound comes out, my heart goes faster.

[RaygunShaun]

I love this guy's voice for some reason. It's strangely unlike any other voice I've heard before.

[knueve83]

@RaygunShaun

Always reminded me of Billy Joel

[pistolaeyes]

so good

[rojo5411]

Psyched for my first spoon show BHAM in march!!

[TheNewgateWind]

a goodie goodie

[gimmefiction14]

I. Love. Britt. If he sounds this amazing in the backseat of a cab, you know how talented he really is. Amazing songwriter, amazing voice, amazing guitar, AMAZING PERSON!

[Brianistheman03]

no way!!! I listen to this and "black like me" back to back everyday!!

[matthewtruland]

I've listened to this probably a thousand times this week. So much better than the recording I have. Acoustic works so well for this song.

[sproutmom]

i'm about 1000 of these 53,000 views. desert island classic.

[ihateurmom]

@sproutmom desert island song for sure.

[swftisawesome]

I love this! :)

You rock, Britt! <3

[bottlerocket99]

The best of all the Black Cab sessions! Bravo!

[godsavegdmcrgheyheds]

this or the okkervil river one for sure :)

[CelebrateYou]

I would die if I hailed a cab and Britt was inside singing :o)

[folkdude3]

you've got the weight of the world comin down like a mothers eye. best lyric ever!!!

[sangReality]

seatbelt !!!

[lindseykaye1]

Amazing!

[wanky448]

my favorite spoon song

[themorningbell6]

the best black cab session

[arthurdotb]

what gibson exactly is he using please?

Thanks

[lemonhead70]

it's a custom j-45 isn't it?

[lemonhead70]

correction, it's a gibson southern jumbo modern classic ^^

[aaandyymusic]

no. it looks like it though huh?

[lemonhead70]

southern jumbo modern classic..

[YayitsRuthayy]

ahh i love this song!

[jeb419]

I really like spoon, and I have a disdain for so much singer songwriter indie rock stuff that's out today. So much of it is bland and just not that great, but this is great lyrics and a great melody, something that many people lauded people today don't have, although they think they do...

[VelvetRazz]

He is one of my favorite singer/songwriers, and he just happened to be standing in front of e at a show at sxsw. he is very nice and the most genuine person i have ever spoken to. britts the man!

[relala]

Great lyrics. Hot guy. Live pro. Need I say more?

[MollyMooMay]

This is by far my favorite Spoon song, made all the better by the Black Cab live, intimate quality. Basically, I am in heaven.

[jucurtis23]

Britt is so cool....I love his voice.....I just started getting into Spoon......

[this818]

does anyone know what kind of strings he uses?? they sound amazing!

[Cottser]

Tone is in the fingers, friend.

[jeb419]

I don't know what brand, but from the tone, I'm fairly certain he's using nickel wound strings, instead of the usual phospor bronze or 80/20 bronze strings that are usually used on acoustic. If you like that kind of tone, you should try out some nickel strings on acoustic, really any electric guitar brand will work.

[this818]

hey thanks for answering. do you know if it will do any damage to the guitar? tension wise?

[tinybunnies]

Brit looks so badass.

[shellovesummer]

simply wonderful.

what a fantastic voice.

[HurricaneHayly]

austin texas rules

and brett daniels is a god

[gggnarly]

Austin Texas Rules

[WeCouldGetArrested]

First of all my favorite Spoon song. Second ok England has this, Amsterdam has the elevator sessions. Why dont we have interesting things like that in America.

[BloodyMoniker]

we do...it's called an actual fucking concert.

[geoemrick]

Are you saying Spoon is from Britain? Spoon is from my hometown, Austin, TX, USA.

[WeCouldGetArrested]

No if I had said, why don't we have interesting bands in America then I would have been referring to the band. I was referring to the Black Cab Sessions.

[TomHaile]

The Black Cab Sessions are bloody genius. The very best stuff on YouTube. I sav one tonight on Nightline (US TV) and now two here on YouTube. Find a way to produce a DVD please. This would be worth watching over and over again on a better screen of course.

God Bless Ya. It's bloody great.

[arcticlambchop7]

nice brit

[arcticlambchop7]

I should clarify, nice work brit daniel!

[oberon61801]

i met him a few weeks ago at the bank. nice guy.

[boredomisnevergood]

I love Spoon!

[sharnihearts]

your opinion didn't make you a dickhead the obvious fact that you ragged on him for being british, when really he isn't is what made you a dickhead

[ShoegazingCuca]

wow.. the day a song by a british performer actually surprises me, the world will implode.

do they make a pact to be predictable?

[sharnihearts]

clearly he is american dickhead

[ShoegazingCuca]

haha.

he still sounds as if he shoots british singers up his arm. it seems having an opinion makes me a dickhead, that's fine.

i'm just not drooling over something as average as this. love the sessions, though.

[baconkingbrown]

It's different than average bullshit I hear all the time. Spoon is originality, not based on song its structure, but on its ideas.

[lapair]

I love this song... Britt Daniel is incredible.

[AMotoiS]

So cool

[juxtachris89]

damn. greatness!

[deirdreseagull]

crap.

[SplicedUp]

Britt Daniel kicks ass.

[theindiedancer]

he always shades in daylight.

lol

must have sensitive eyes.

hahaha

[theindiedancer]

*wears shades* excuse me.

[harpsichordstring]

My favourite song of all time...

[anasghost]

this song is fucking awesome! Love it!

[xkhangod108]

not just britt daniel what about rob pope or jim eno

[eatyouroates]

Yay! Thankyou for not being ignorant to other band members! I Summon You is even better with Jim's drumming.

[Kellmeister04]

I want to post a comment on just how amazing this song and Spoon are, but Britt Daniel is just too hot for words.

[lovlyrita123]

i agree

[lovlyrita123]

I agree

[cervanteskk]

love itttt

[gribbette]

ooo yea

[thepanamahat]

britt, we loves ya !!

[petetheweet]

Great Idea! Fantastic song. Check out my songs on my profile and tell m what you think if you have time :)

[fs07]

no no no no no!!!

[danthemango]

this is ridiculously good, I mean you shouldn't post studio songs!

[gamrgods]

That was actually good quality music my friend. I want to here more. I agree with the other comments, that was very cool.

[guidotnb]

I like the part when John Lennon and Ringo Starr walk by on the sidewalk.

[MeagainMeagan]

haha thankyou.

[benjykenjy]

man that was a really good song

[Jaaayknow]

Great find, never thought you guys would stumble on spoon. Good work, keep it up.

[marshagreen]

He's pretty good, gonna check him out. The sunglasses are sweet ^^

[KamakaTexas]

Way cool.
