  • @Bingo1059 LOL nice darwins law

  • Sounds like something from a commercial. I forgot which one it was, but I do remember it's from either the late-1990s or sometime around the 2000s.

  • @TheGrungeGamer2 Esurance from 2008.

  • It's most certainly NOT okay to "be yourself", because if you listen to this song, you might start to rationalize what makes you a horrible person. Do you really think it's "okay to be yourself" if your Hitler? Charles Mansion? A rapist? Is it okay? . The first thing you learn when making a debate is that your debate has to work on ALL levels, It shouldn't just work for you at that moment, it should apply to every and any similar situation. This song is little more then a lie.

  • @Bingo1059 bahaha i'm sorry but to apply a song to every single person's situation to find out if the song is genuine or not is the dumbest way to criticize a song i've ever seen on youtube

    get out of here you narrow minded philistine, your misled rebel hipster attitude is much looked down on

  • @iliveforthemaga Your really quite sad. For one, I'm anything but a "Rebel hipster", I'm quite the conformist, for two, it's true. It's not always "okay" to be yourself. Simply it isn't. It's NOT okay to rape children, kill people, torture animals, etc, and if you partake in such activities, it's NOT okay to be yourself.

  • @Bingo1059 for one it's 'you're' really quite sad.

    for two, i'm okay with anything you call me, cause i know for a fact that it's okay to be my self, because i know i don't rape children, kill people, or do anything intolerably unethical.

    if you apply your pathetic way to judge a song to every song in the world you wouldn't admire any type of musical composition, which i think is what makes you even 'sadder'.

  • @iliveforthemaga Your (or rather You're) a hypocrite. It's okay for YOU to be you, but, isn't it okay for me to be MYSELF? I'm just being myself. I can't believe you aren't okay with that.

    Listen to Bach's Violin "Double', there is no negative way to "judge" that song. The only person who possibly could would have to have gone to many years of school before they could even attempt, and even if they did it could very well destroy their career.

    P.S. It's "More sad".

  • @Bingo1059 and another word, songs are in context. context of the author, more often. it's not like kazutaka nomura is a murdering sociopath, so stop being a righteous pig and have some feeling

  • @iliveforthemaga If every song was written in the context of the author, then every song would be horribly bland. Word's can't capture emotion very well whatsoever. We don't read biographies on "Average Bob" or "Joe the Plumber", we read them on exciting life's, or more likely on exaggerated fiction. If we had to "respect" everyone so much to accept a straight out lie and roll around in it, then that makes you the "righteous pig."

    Conclusively, the phrase "It's okay to be yourself" is a lie.

  • @Bingo1059 my god, to think i'm arguing with a child.

    listen, that 'bland' is exactly what kaz is trying to get at. he's not taking sides on what is morally wrong, he's simply stating the content of individuality, not our personal everyday utilization of ethics..

    i read biographies of average people. who the hell are you to speak for what i enjoy? who are you to speak for the however assumed small audience reads or listens to? have you ever heard of minimalism ? obviously not.

  • Comment removed

  • @Bingo1059 also, if believing a 'lie', makes me a righteous pig you obviously have no grasp of vocabulary as well. shame. go listen to bon iver or fleet foxes and fill your contemporary head with lyrics that tell you how to feel, rather indulge embarrassing yourself by an audience that actually knows what the art behind this song

  • @iliveforthemaga No, believing a "lie" doesn't make you a righteous pig, it's the reason behind why you believe the lie. You want to feel like you can accept everyone for everything they do, no matter what it is they do. Now sometimes because what they do is considered wrong, you must rationalize it 'Well... hmm... it's written in context of someone who WON'T kill anyone"... It's a sad attempt to hold on to a weak belief.

  • @Bingo1059 are you serious? you actually think i give a flying fuck about what other people do besides listening to this song? i know for a fact that i'm not a righteous person, because if i was, i wouldn't even accept people for killing people or doing immoral things, and that doesn't even make sense, i don't have to be righteous to oppose murder and unethical acts. you again prove you have no sense of vocabulary or of reasonable sense

  • @Bingo1059 i listen to this song because i am innocently content with myself, which is what the song is trying to go for, not to justify immoral and senseless killing.

    if i made a song called 'be good to your neighbor', you'd be the righteous pig to assume that i even mean to give murderers and rapists a nice big smile everyday. that's what righteous is, to actually think any one in the right mind would accept such intolerable acts, when listening to a song that advocates opposite

  • @iliveforthemaga Oh boy are you slow:

    1. characterized by uprightness or morality: a righteous observance of the law.

    2.

    morally right or justifiable: righteous indignation.

    3.

    acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous: a righteous and godly person.

    __

    Thats sad when you can't even check your arguments, this has gotten far too puerile for me to even waste any more of my time.

  • @Bingo1059 man, it's hilarious when peeps pull out their pretentious dictionary to be an asshole.

    listen kid, either way, it doesn't make this song immoral, cause if it was according to your righteous bitchy attitude, it'd be illegal, wouldn't it?

    fucking asshole, get the fuck out, because obviously, it's justifiable enough to be accepted be on youtube

  • This song makes me want to hang myself and then get thrown to the dragons

  • this song is sooooo adorible. itsz my guilty pleasure.!

  • this song makes me extremely happy . .

    :D

  • its ok to release youre popcorn power cuz it feels good

  • Sure, they think HE'S a terrible singer, but ACDC is fuckin awesome, right? *sarcasm*

  • haha when he said pwrful power i thought he said popcorn power i was like hwat?

  • :] 

    ....

    lolwut?

  • Where is SongsAndMusic17's comment? We miss it.

  • i honestly think thats the point, he knows he's not a great singer, but thats the point, ITS OKAY, like the main part of the song, "its okay to be yourself, he knows he's not that great of a singer, but he doesnt care, BECAUSE

    "its okay to be yourself" =]

    he's being himself, and i see your being yourself by hating that he

    "feels good feels good, feels good, feeeeeeeeelz gooo0o0d"

    lol ok im done now

  • crazy jaayyyyy, you crazy man :] and it feels good don't it?

  • feeeels geeeuddd.....feeelsss geeeeud. feeeels guuud. feels....guuud.

    I feel good.

  • @SongsAndMusic17 you don't know shit about songs and music

  • @SongsAndMusic17 Actually, I think the guitar sucks and the singing is awesome

  • I want this song as a ringtone soo bad

  • does any1 have any idea where to find guitar tabs on this?

  • the guitar is really good

    this guy should just find a real singer and then it will be better

  • Kaz is one of the greatest musical performers of the 21st century, and if you can't see that then something is wrong.

    The vocals are natural and thats better than a lot of the tripe out in the United States music industry today.

  • I think my friend's ex turned anorexic to this song

  • not a bad tune but, his vocals in this song are bad,any person with tone can tell.

  • the guitar is godly

    and quit posting comments like

    "LOL WORST SONG EVAR!!1! SOUNDS LIKE A KINDERGARdEN SONG!"

    Unlike a lot of songs today, this one actually has deep meaning. Not just "it's okay". The point is that he is being himself through his music. Why bash him for speaking the truth?

    God, what ignorance...

  • just because its diffrent doesnt mean its bad. i like it. its unique

  • @skmz609 Oh, yes, I REALLY love the uniqueness of Hitler. Don't you just love it? I can't think of anyone else who would attempt a modern genocide, so that's really unique, I like it too! Oh, there's Stalin too, who starved I don't know how many millions of Ukranians, that's really unique too! Lovin it!! Ohh... And every time I think of Charles Manson a shiver goes up my leg, who else could come up with a religion that would rationalize killing of people? I just LOVE the uniqueness in the world!

  • @Bingo1059 Godwin's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1. In other words, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.

  • Posting a criticism of music you don't like seems to be something that a type of people typically do who cannot differenciate between your real music preference and something they are unconsciously forced to choose by music markets which cares money rathre than music. But, it's ok to be yourself.

  • his other songs are great, I don't even like stuff like this but this is good =)

  • Listen to this song as you cut off some guy's ear with a razor...ha!ha!

  • I fuckn love this song. He sounds ike a crying beached whale, but ITS O.K.!!!! Thats the point. :)

  • This is the song serial killers listen to when they're chopping up children.

  • this is a good and funny song. u guys have to understand that all his songs are parcially humorous

  • what i dont get is how everyone that thinks this is bad somehow runs into this...

  • Every time I was on Facebook after playing a game that song came up on that car insurance commercial, its pretty good though.

  • is this a song xD ???

  • I finally learned the Chords off this Song. And of course, let me expose this song for what it is. He's saying It's okay to be yourself and It's okay to have a Bad Singing Voice. He sings better than this, I mean, not Better, but more on-key, but This was a kind of Joke.

  • you freakin' rule

  • Thanks. Are you gonna do a Cover Version of the Song?

  • yeah

  • Post it up here on YouTube

  • Yu are the frickin man.....

  • I just want you the person who made this song, that this is one of my favorite songs, I listen to this song and I forget the troubles of life, it's just an amazing song.

  • I like a song, therefore by your illogic I must be gay, makes sense. Funny how it wasn't even a story, just a post, and you can't hear it either dumbass. Even so, why make a big deal over my post? Why call it gay? You just came on here to express your insecurities of your own gayness. That makes sense.

  • Nice man. I decided to change my life because of you.....I reconsidered my thoughts and became a Christian priest. I apologize for my behavior in that last comment. In the end I found that it's okay to be yourself.

  • LMFAO!!!

  • BOOOOOOOO!

  • this is a great song and i really cant imagine any lyrics than that that could fit with that rhythm

  • it's okay to be yourself. it's okay to be yourself, unless you are gay. IMHO

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahah

  • This is such a genius song.

  • I can sing better and I am 11!!!

  • no no no. you don't understand his appeal- it has nothing to do with the quality of his voice, it's his lyrics. his persona. he's genius.

  • Mediocre? this song makes my ears bleed and the quality of the lyrics can't help.

  • the riff is beautiful

    but the singing eventually becomes a bit annoying

  • such a good song love it to death

  • tHIS SONG IS COOL

  • i love this song!

  • whats the band?

  • pwrfl power

  • this song makes me laugh for some reason. I mean, it's good and all, but it cracked me up the first time I heard it on that insurance commercial!

  • I don't know why, but I absolutely LOVE this song. I think what draws me to the song is the contrast between the complexity of the guitar melody and the simplicity of the lyrics. Simply said, it's oddly profound.

    Or, I'm just crazy.

  • No, I agree. :) You are in fact sane.

  • Either that, or all three of us are crazy.

  • agreed and i am into metal and rock and stuff

  • Isn't this TheWineKone singing?!

  • not bad...just diffrent. unique. the commercial is adorable though.

  • i love this song!

  • is this guy asian?

  • yes he is. why you need to know.

  • oh no reason, I just heard he was and wanted to make sure... i hope the question wasnt insulting... and I actually like this song regardless of what ppl say lol.

  • HAHAHAHAHA wtf?? its like the same pitch threwout the same song. exept for the part were he tries to hit the high notes.

  • the guitar is really good i dont get wut it has to do with car insurance but w/e

    and y does he just like mess up?

  • i drink beer everyday, beat my wife, and dont work. but its ok to be myself because i am me

  • lol, nice

  • Hahaha thats messed up but at the same time...thats the meaning of the song....

  • lol that was funny.

  • hahahahahahaha!!!

  • HA! now who is the "retar"?

  • refilled

  • I just don't get why it's in a car insurance commercial, lol, but other than that I love the song.

  • i like guitar playing its nice

  • I think I learned the lesson taught in this song when I was in first grade by Kermit the Frog. I really don't think that it needs to be taught again to all of us that were born during the Reagan administration. Also, what the fuck does this song have to do with car insurance? I think a more fitting song would be Spinal Tap's "Gimme Some Money".

  • this song is funny and cool at the same time! l like it alot.

  • pretty song. :]

  • lol,chill out.why are all these people getting so angry.the music is different,that's what makes it nice.everyone who is cursing him out really doesn't get the point of the song.so really it's YOU that should fuck off if you don't like the song.i mean really,you search for the video for the song and then leave an angry comment? how much of a bitch are you?lol.boohoo,i hate you pwrfl power,and you're stupid good music!

  • amen to that :)

  • agrees with you

  • if i'm cursing and am a bitch thats ok.. because its ok to be myself because i am me!

  • LOL!!! karatekid1107!!

  • its okay to release to thoughtful powers........cause it feeeeels good

  • I enjoy this song, his voice isn't bad it's different, he isn't missing notes, or pitchy really, it's just different. that's what makes this song good, it's different, people need to step out of the vogue. His guitar is brilliant as well. Good stuff

  • im so in luv with the guitar.. brilliant!!!!!!

  • There are some musicians that do technically sing, but their not really singers. That's how a lot of indie musicians are.

  • This is not a bad song, guys. You just have to appreciate their style. Its their style. Don't just hate becuase you think they sound bad. It's just a type of style. Its how some people think Indian music is annoying, but alot of people like it still. Keep your opinions to yourself because even though people don't like it, doesn't mean he is a bad musician. I appreciate his style, its very distinct and something you don't find in today's society.

  • I agree

  • This guy is fxcking stupid.

    I hate the e-surance commercial that he's in.

    It makes me wanna destroy my TV. This guy sucks and he's a stupid fxcktard and makes my ears fucking bleed. GO DIE 'PWRFL POWER'! GO DIE.

    and go fxcking die and be your self where ever the fxck you go.

  • This guy sucks at life, and don't say 'OH LIEK U CULD DO ANY BETTER' because guess what? I CAN! I've sung in front of a thousand people so yeah, I can sing better, this guy blows and this song blows.

  • just because you were able to get past the security guards and make it in stage to howl into the mic at a Creed concert does not mean the thousands of people were there to see you...

  • This song BLOWS!

    I HATE IT.

    My ears bled every time I hear it.

    Worst vocals, EVER.

  • Did this guy seriously TRY to make this song or was this a joke because he was bored one day because he had strep throat and thought to himself 'Hey! What are the cheesiest lyrics I can write up in 30 minutes?'. Admitedlly I kind of like the bad lyrics and vocals but it gets really painful to listen too after a minute.

  • this is the most painfully indie song i've ever heard. i work at a radio station with a lot of indie music and can appreciate musical oddities, but come on. this is terrible.

  • Dude there's an indie station??!!!!

    SWEETNESS

  • kzuu 90.7fm pullman

  • This is where they got the song for that insurance commercal lmao

  • Pwrfl Pwruu LOL ncie song tho. Lol!

  • I think what I like most is the way he plays guitar.

  • i love this song. =]

  • pretty guitar but bad bad singing lol

  • Its feels good you be yooooooooooooooooooooooou!

  • Why does everyone hate this? I LOVE this song!!! His voice is amazing. People dont know how to appreciate music... He's a very talented person, or his song wouldn't be on a nationwide commercial.

  • love this song every time i hear it

  • lol lyrics and singing sound so cheesy and bad but thats why its funny.

  • I NEED THE TABS PLEASE SOMEBODY!!!!

  • Before I thought it was not okay to be myself, but now I know that it's okay to be myself.

    Thank God for this song. I don't know where I would be without it.

  • I don't care if everyone hates this song.

    I'm in love with it.

  • this is genius i love it

  • hahaha i just have esurance!

  • yeah people, dont rag on this dude.. I like being me and it feels pretty good to release my powerful powers.. hes got a point. hes just trying to tell everyone to be an individual and to embrace themselves, especially for the gifts that make them who they are, hence, powerful powers.

  • right on bro embrace your pwrfl powers everyone is unique from california to hong kong spread the love all accross the world on youtube or on the streets of sanfransisco amen bro keep on using your pwrfl power

  • umm i was going to say something but then i heard this song and now no comment

  • he can at least play really well. maybe he should just play the guitar and have some one else sing the song. but i like da song

  • Akirijin, This song motivates the social inadequate to criticize him. If anything he sings it like that to prove so what if you can't sing a lick, I'm going to make a got damn song. This song is what i play most often. The fizzles who attempt to insult him are just being themselves.

  • dont hate on this guy this songs lyrics are so true

  • I love this song so much. although ppl. who critize it are at the least MORONS. listen exactly to what hes saying rather than the way he sings it. It shows that people are very judgmental 2 things that cant even closely pertain 2 the msg . i aplogize but you fuckers can eat a dick. btw..... i am american

  • thank you, i didn't know it was okay to be myself.

    jk (:

  • ugh... boring folky music. yay?

  • this guy is so good he doesnt need a drummer a bassist or a singer. hes a one man band!! listen to "cat song" for example

  • The only thing bad about the singing was the Falsetto and inability to hold a note. But this guy can definitely play the geetar. I can tell I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head now.

  • true true finally somebody is on my side but its spelled guitar .thanks for thinking the right thing dude

  • this guy's voice is horrible

  • Ok i'm probably the only one in the planet that thinks this but i actually like his voice. I'm not saying it's good, i'm just saying i enjoy it.

  • you aren't alone, I do to. and I'm not afraid to admit it. 'CUASE IT FEEL GOOD!
