The Freshmen Live (a capella)

[AnaNiffenegger]

whatever happen to that band?

where are all these bands now? we have reached a point where we have to settle for what media believes music and lyrics are.

[ThorStroliaDavis]

takes allot of comfort to do what he just did as amazingly as he did. takes allot of control to be able to do that with out a band. just amazing!

[GhostxyK]

I have never seen and listened to something like this. He sings and I play the music on my mind. And it sound amazing. This should be the # 1 on top of the searching list of YouTube. Those who dislike this are deaf or high. 'Cause this is the best you can ever have. I was young and I knew everything. I can be held responsible.'Cause She was touching her face. Rocking! I won't be held responsible she fell in love for the first place.

[dafunk2314]

Without his voice it is absolutely dead silent, you kno why..? Cuz ppl who are inspired by true music kno when to shut the f*** up and pay attention cuz its a 99% chance you cant do this...

[Zerethule]

what should I do with my hands?

[Zerethule]

What do I do with my hands?

[vtchick33]

lets bash the people who disliked this..... this is gold

[frankryte]

someone forgot their guitar before the gig

[thecomfortisnow]

@frankryte you don't need a guitar to be awesome!

[thecomfortisnow]

Respond to this video...  this guys are awesome

[bombardier8525]

sounded amazing! still one of my all time favorites to this day, i miss the 90's

[mcbrock80]

Offbeat? Go listen to your top 40 and try not to critique a true artist. You have no clue. Nothing personal..........that was amazing!

[MrDoomsday1]

THAT is talent, people!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BiggieB31558]

This guy may have wrote and performed the song, but he should not sing a capella. He rushed the lyrics and was off beat if you can hear the song in your head while he's singing you know what I mean. I also think he was on something.

[jkinder1969]

@BiggieB31558 I understand what you are saying about rushing the lyrics / off beat, but I'm pretty sure that was intentional.

[acookiethatflys]

@BiggieB31558 you cant be offbeat or rush a song if you made it, it's the artists choice to make the beat how he wants it and he probably did not want to make it like the original.

[yourmoo1978]

simple



[phqinhipp]

[olafaaf]

[jenex98520]

Beautiful

[whengski0126]

my favorite song...

[manueleagan34]

GOD DAMN!!!!! I WORSHIP THIS MAN!!!

it's crazy how he can twist his voice like he does. its not even about stage presence....damn! there's too much emotion in this song.

[Eric155]

not that it's not a great song, it's very boring without instruments in the background.

[littlewhiteshadow]

it's like a poetry reading... it's win.

[breakbomb1]

THIS is what's up!! No instruments, no smoothing mixes, no effects, no fucking auto-tune bullshit. PURE VOICE!

[Quickboxer]

You can tell everytime he sings this song, there is alot of emotion in his voice. Comes from the heart ,Great song. This song and Shimmer by Fuel are my all time Favorites.

[Quickboxer]

You can tell everytime he sings this song, there is alot of emtion in his voice. Great song. This song and Shimmer by Fuel are my all time Favorites.

[W87E]

Goosebumps. Love him

[markxkram]

damn.. i miss this song.. thanks for posting this! very good song Brian!

[Bhilithinn]

Wow. It's really too bad that he and his band didn't become more popular. He is a really talented singer.

[sparkel0079]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Brian killed it!!! AMAZING!!!!

[Megan6945]

What a fantastic voice *swoon*

[BottleBuzz]

@Megan6945

heh "swoon"

[MrDoomsday1]

to sing this song a capella and hitting it out of the park is pure Talent. well done, Brian

[FFLITMiko]

He has some really odd tendencies when he sings. I think he's used to holding a guitar so he needs to occupy his hands during acapella like this.

[atrickpay11]

I like he it has a bit of an Irish feel at times, I wish he would emphasize that more!!

[atrickpay11]

Is this guy the lead singer of the Verve Pipe?

[mediblue9]

What do you think?  It's only acknowledged.

[400street1]

@atrickpay11 um.. Yes

[ali1904]

The way he sang, he was there he feel that decision to take a life. It Hurts...

[benjywho]

He sounds a tad like Gary Jules here. That's not a bad thing, though.

[Ising4u93]

He sounds great! didn't age all that well though, still an amazing singer.

[RJP7093]

didn't age well? i think he still looks good. actually, i think he looks better than before.. maybe it's the hair color!

[XBSHX]

He wrote it, he can change it up however he wants.

[gregzav]

he was the singer

[jmd11185]

no shit

his looks have fallen soo much you can't even recognize him.

[coolcolia]

how the fuck could he fail, he wrote the fucking song you disrepectful shithead

[gtarace09]

I was talking about the person who didn't realize this was actually him. But good job about assuming wrongly, you fucking idiot.

[xxxtheoneringxxx]

since when did he get that stupid accent

[FilmsAboutGhosts13]

hahaha I had no idea either

[Socrates458]

He probably always had it but you never noticed it in his songs. Alot of singers that have accents can overcome them when they sing.

[YummieWE]

Aw man, this is well sad. Everytime I watch him sing this song, I can't imagine how hard it must be going back to the time when his ex had the abortion.

[xouwan021592]

is that what the song is about?

[sealink44]

abortion

[Tvink]

this is odd ?

hehe, but i think hes great !in a werid way,

[poopyscoopy5]

Is he fucking irish or something?

[mushy85]

it would of been a bit better if he had just picked up that acoustic, but oh wel

[suicidalmickeymouse]

wow. this is beautiful. (:

[blueterrior]

He looks like there's something wrong with him in this video. He sings good though

[mickhalo]

If you mean his hands, its probably because hes used to playing a guitar while singing and it probably feels odd without one.

[GBev2K]

I think he's talking about his hair and the look on his face.

[jerova]

wow..reminds me of Cat Stevens O_O

[vervepipesucks]

Yeah, if Cat Stevens was a homo!

[knappik311]

This is crazy good.

[MountainDreamLand]

Hey,

Brian and his wife Lux are playing in Saugatuck Mich tonight 8-4-08 for $15 a head at the Saugatuck Music Center.

Catch it!

[alexandria332bc]

Wow, that was impressive.

[scorpio6]

amazing song!!!...he kinda looks like colin farrel though in this

[AbiAlone]

PURE GREATNESS! . . .it so real, I wish I was there

[enemencio123video]

CAT STEVENS???

[wiccanknight]

He has a weird accent when he sings for an American born singer/songwriter.

[rileyalexis19]

i was here.

[calmartin]

it took me so long to realize that this is the original lead singer.... all along i thought this guy was covering verve pipe's song

[acousticrww]

this is a great song, and this is a very powerful thing to witness live! it's much more effective live than it is on video or any the live recordings. i still think it's a shame that this was the only really big hit they had. would love to see an acoustic version of Cup Of Tea posted!

[bahhstones]

i'm sorry but this sucks

[pochollopogi]

i'm sorry but you suck...

[imre456]

Rock On brutha

[dougninja]

Pretty sweet. Best song ever.

[cainmarko69]

I can't argue with that.!

[atram696]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kaitlinbeste]

Wow this song has so much meaning to me and wOOOOWI really like it. If anyone oculd sing that song like that they can marry me!

[biskanano]

I was just a freshman!

[tmsweet772]

I didnt realize how talented this man was. Wow. Loved it!

[ForThePriceofACoke]

uh is he irish?

[syts]

I was at the show and let me tell you, it was so much more amazing live. He's got an awesome voice. It proves you've got true talent when you can sing like this outside of a recording studio.

[jwemp]

A truly amazing voice.

[brianisdrunk]

very golod

[jayro85]

wow, to sing like a cappella like that and not lose pitch even once. thats impressive. I guess when youve been singing as long as he has though its to be expected.

awesome!

[blynkfreek182]

sorry but this dude sucks

[imzz]

d best song i heard all my damned life... somehow it gave some meaning into my life

[Rainswept]

That was terrific.

[laoretta]

He's wonderful!

[myxdna]
