  • I want to cover this song!!! I hope I will do it justice!

  • Is it me, or does he in some sections of this video look like a bald Ben Affleck? Thats not a bad thing! For a second, Jack makes Ben look like he actually has talent!!

  • Song of few words but one of the best i've heard

  • ...and again at 2:46

  • 2:06 ...get ready for a full blown soundgasm

  • ...sigh...30 people listen to justin beiber....

  • I so want this song!

  • Crazy effects on the guitar. You make it sound vicious.

    In acoustic guitar school yours is probably a total bully. All wrapped up in electronics like bling, looking for some folkie's dreadnought to just clobber.

    Why so mean, Jack's Guitar?

  • i wonder if jack does his own mastering... his production is amazing... recording quality is also amazing... talented mofo... incubus im sure is proud

  • Tour. Now.

  • can sum1 pleez tell me the name of the video ware jack conte iz doin a funny beatbox skit. hez all by himself doin a beat box solo and its so funny

  • Wow awesome talent - thank god for the internet, i can tune into proper musicians/producers instead of listening to the crap they put on the radio

  • Okay, I'll bite: what's the foam by the bridge of the guitar at 2:30 for?

  • @SithFilmer It dampens the sound

  • the song is good but i just couldnt stand seeing your face being distorted while singing xD

  • Woah this is awesome! So glad I found this.

  • Dude, Im addicted to your videos, but one advice; if you use the same instruments for every song, it´s going to start being quite boring; I mean, they are great, but maybe if you use a couple of them for one song and another couple another time :)

  • @PETERFELIX Yeah, playing drums and piano and guitar in multiple songs... what a stupid idea. He should switch to pots and pans for the next one.

  • @DivergentRunoff Exactly!

  • @PETERFELIX I just did not understand the point of your comment. Are you getting tired of all the little side instruments? They add character! You certainly could not mean he should stop using main instruments.

    Pots and pans might actually be interesting though haha

  • @DivergentRunoff Agree!

  • Why is everyone talking about auto tune. its only ever used once. in the very obvious place it is to create an effect not because Jack couldnt do a run.

  • @J4KETS I honestly think it was more of a production thing, than a "I need it" thing. Besides it is obvious he can sing! I wonder if he did it more for the video, than for the song. Like he had the idea of the still shots during his vocals there, and thought that if he did that, audibly, the vocal would have to sound like it stands "still" too. It was a great idea! He is one of the reasons I want to get more musically involved on my channel!

  • Love the sound. Very awesome.

  • 0:20 is the money!

  • I'm dumb!!! The lyrics are in the info section of the video!!!

  • This is my favorite song that I have heard so far (and I am combing through your channel for other cool stuff...found 'Gulf'!) If it would be possible, would you be willing to do a vid about the chords you use on this song? I figured out so far C-Cmin (I think...), but the keyboard intro I cant figure out. I'm want to do a cover of your song... hopefully you dont mind. And does your V2 album have lyrics too?

  • You are AWESOME!! I love it!! Glad my husband suggested you!!

  • i love the Micro Synth breakdown with the bass

  • All your songs that get hard are amazing! your a great guitarist and you pull off the louder songs amazingly

  • First of all I'm a huge fan of Jack and his music, so don't you think I'm a troll or anything, but I have to point this out!!

    The video/melodys of the bass at 0:37 and 0:42 are just completely wrong =s, the bass notes that sound don't match the video... so could anyone explain me what happened there? Jack himself would be awesome, though I doubt he will read this anyway... well, anticipated thanks!!!

    Explanation: When it sounds 1 tone up, it shows 1 semi-tone up at 0:37, and vice-versa at 0:42

  • It looks like your playing "air theramin" while your singing, Is there a song where you play the real thing? I saw one in the background once.

  • Jack, I look forward to new work by you so much, that I am afraid to say the actual extent of it, for fear that I might somehow interrupt -- or change -- what is happening with you, by commenting the wrong way!! GO

  • @produccionesmiranejo I like his singing a lot, and his pitch really isn't bad at all.

    Music, subjective innit.

  • @particularlylazy

    he is ok, i really like the what he writes like gulf.

  • @produccionesmiranejo Also, he is singing in key. If you can't tell that he's singing in key you are tone deaf.

  • Comment removed

  • @produccionesmiranejo people like you make me want to throw up. You are soooo hung up on the fuckin autotune thing. GET THE FUCK OVER IT!....his vocals are fine. They fit the song and mood. I like how pompous you are, "i've never used autotune". Have you listened to his new album? The guy has good tone to his voice. You dont have to be a "great singer" to have a good voice. Look at Johnny Cash for example. The emphasis here is not really the vocals anyways, its the mood and feeling.

  • @roomfullofidiots Except Jack Conte's an amazing singer :P not that I don't agree with you, but if you hear some of his earlier stuff, that was more vocals-oriented, his intonation is beautiful, and the emotion he puts in is staggering.

  • @produccionesmiranejo Dude, I can't hear a trace of autotune in this song. Jack has very good intonation without it, he only uses it very occasionally for effects and maybe to fix a few slightly messed up tough notes. Listen to more of his acoustic performances if you don't believe me, the acoustic rendition of Flavors is up on youtube, and his voice is amazing. He also has a live performance of Oh Hell which is remarkable. Neither are autotuned at all, nor are most of his songs for that matter.

  • @vanmanivan Yeah I realized that he is a decent singer, not the best though. I really like his music, but he does own auto tune, it says on his page, maybe he uses it to correct some pitch errors, something not very noticable, I would do it. People are used to hear autune as a annoying effect, well it can also fix some pitch errors.

  • @produccionesmiranejo no offense but you sound like a jealous musician. it's cool.

  • @produccionesmiranejo your an idiot, jack conte? autotune. No stupid! Autotune is tpain.

    The autotune parts are on purpose eg, at 1:16 (but that is chopping and pasting not autotune) The vocals have a slight flanger affect which you may mistake for autotune.

    if you wanna target someone as using autotune and considered talented, go watch Justin Bieber.

  • @musicalman1995

    God!!

    I already told everyone, I watched his videos and he can sing. I actually bought his new album.

    And no, I did not mistake the flanger for autotune.

    Just enjoy the freaking music dude...

  • @produccionesmiranejo look who's talking? telling me to enjoy the music and yet you make a comment that says that he can't sing, and I'm not enjoying the music? pfft.

  • @musicalman1995

    Dude, just get over it, don't be all butthurt, it was just a comment. It's not like I insulted your mother or something like that.

  • @produccionesmiranejo you didn't but your still a hypocrite

  • @produccionesmiranejo He only uses Auto-Tune for effects, he doesn't use it all the time to sing. Watch his live or acoustic stuff and you'll see that he's incredibly pitch-perfect. Also, fixing pitch doesn't make a good singer. Even if he did auto tune his vocals if he wasn't a good vocalist they wouldn't sound this good at all.

  • Why don't you sing in any P.moose songs?

  • I CANNOT stop listening, no matter how hard I try. You are so talented.

  • Add your voice to Pomplamoose Jack.

  • Why cant I turn my volume even higher?!?!?!

  • RESPECT BRO!

  • his voice sounds like the guy from Incubus. I dig it.

  • @wongnumba Silly you. Jack's voice doesn't sound like the guy from Incubus. Jack's voice doesn't sound like like anyone's voice. He has times where he may seem like he sound like others but it's just a coincidence. He has a voice of his own. So quit comparing him to other singers.

  • one of my favorites of yours!!! keep it up!

  • Unrestricted, unbound..pure, limitless creativity.

    A true artist.

  • You are an amazing person Jack Conte.

  • Bought it! 

  • Can't decide if you're a great musician or great film editor. I think you're a bit of both, love you're stuff, love Pomplamoose.

  • insane. love it. what bass are you playing?

  • its good, but too messy, too much sounds

  • I like it this way, full of sounds in some climax points

  • psychedelic cant even begin to describe how this song feels

  • this is more addicting than drugs, sex and booze.

  • Jack Conte is a fucking musical genius. Love your music..keep it up!

  • this is like a direct extension of the music radiohead used to make. DOPE. love all your music man keep pushing the envelope

  • I love it!!!! Absolutely love this song!!!!!

  • I see a Theremin in there...

  • incroyable being that you are.

  • all the best

    long life ,health and peace from me to you.

    what a blast

    makes me feel good to be alive

    :)

  • merci bien

    mon joli createur

    :)

    live long and prosper

  • more people like you need ot exist!! like now!

  • not bad, i just think its too much xP

  • I'm wondering if you drum like for more control over the sound, or just to spare your neighbors the ruckus of hardcore drumming?

  • Sounds cool but the vocals are drowned by the rest of the music...

  • 2:07 is the shiznit!

  • I feel some anger.... Ôo

  • You know, your music is good, and you make the right funny faces and move your body to the beat and all that, but...

    I love your videos. Simple. Themed. Exciting. Entertaining. Thanks man.

  • Another awesome song, Jack!

  • love this song jack...wish the vocals were more upfront!!!! :)

  • this. shit. is. fucking. amazing. I LOVE YOU JACK CONTE

  • what fucking amazing talent

  • TRIPPING

  • @RCH0974 Well you can't please everyone.

  • @RCH0974 nice thing about youtube, you don't have to watch what you don't like. :)

  • @RCH0974 x) and who forced u to watch it? well it cant be this guy, he's someone on a video a thousand miles away from you. so shush :D

  • @RCH0974 You must be insane not to think this is way cool! maybe you are a rap guy or something...

  • My favourite out of all your songs, I love the bit that got heavy about two thirds in. I love how all of you gets involved.

  • Comment removed

  • So I guess you have to be a talentless jew to reap the benefits?

  • W

    O

    W

    That just blew my mind, and blew me away, all at the same time!

    Simply amazing!

  • Something occurred to me as I listened to this song again: If I had heard it in the '70's, when I was a kid just discovering music, it would have impacted me as strongly as bands like Yes, Pink Floyd, etc. Of course, this music can't really be separated from the 40 years of rock evolution that influence it. But in my mind, the quality of this performance is on that level, and it's just as creative as anything that was going on during what I consider to be the golden age of creativity in rock.

  • @qpwoeiru999 Exactly-I'm probably from around the same era as you, & I couldn't agree more with what you said ! And whereas with a lot of bands I hear these days I end up thinking, yeah,I'd probably like this if I was sixteen and I hadn't heard (say) The Gang Of Four or Magazine yet,with this although you can see influences from the past (I hadnt thought of Yes, but I totally see what u mean-interesting.) its also new & totally convincing, in an edgy spacerockish kinda way. GREAT !!

  • The 3 over 2 in this song is a nice touch.

  • @sherminator2221 Do you mean the Triplets? - 'cuz none of this sounds like it's 3/2, it all sounds 4/4... ?

  • @Zenderquai I was referring to the poly rhythm that occurs throughout the song, not the actual time signature.

  • @Zenderquai Yeah, I think she mean the triplets over duplets

  • Mortacci tua ! Sei un mostro !

  • You are fantastic. Your music is just... I don't know... electrifying!
