Shane Koyczan - Apology

[NanaTendsToFly]

I love you Shane..I love you

[CarpeCara1]

8 idiots.

[shannonflynn13]

we only get from now and to the time we go, and if they've only got time to love them selves then no ones going to be around to hear the sound of their heartbeat echo. so, lady dont expect an apology when i tell you i'm only held together by a heart that pumps glue, it's the strongest muscle in my body... and i'm flexing it for you.

perfection<3

[LadyMayalee]

Maiya has such a beautiful voice... Almost brings me to tears everytime. :)

[megamajor5]

<3. nuff said.

[phoreman88]

what ever happened to the live performance of apology that was on youtube??

[jhraemt]

@phoreman88 still on Google Video, search Shane Koyczan - Apology, it was the first result.

[amberrhowe]

@phoreman88 the person who posted the video's account was deleted.

i loved it too. :(

[ovaderify]

looooove this

[samistudmuffin]

I love him, he says it like it is.

[Mzleah2010]

I love this guys seen him live , amazing he makes me look at the world and things in a different extordinary way .. more a live then dead more exciting then boring .. i guess what i'm saying is he's inspirational ..

[Rockoguy]

this song makes me cry, every time i hear it

[roxsox777]

his words make me forget about his neck beard..

[Metallicrose]

When this began, I thought to myself, "I'm not going to like this, there's no singing."

but this is more artistic and beautiful than any other song on the radio and I will play it on repeat for the next 6 hours.

[famax33]

There's no words at all to explain how much I love this.

[PenguinzAreAwesome]

I cried.

This man's words are the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, read, seen.

Thank you so much.

[TehShizNit96]

This makes me smile :)

[welcometomyhousepunk]

im a 16 year old a guy. I`ve spent the last 2 years of my life getting played and hurt and used and put down. Nothings changed now, except my view. everythings seems brighter, nothing can bring me down. and this man helped me let it out. love him.

[Italiyachan]

Anyone know what chords are used in this?

[TheOneAndOnlyLaurenP]

'You're the choice I made before I knew what the other choices were.'

And then I burst into tears.

[DoctorPillsJackson]

The last verse is also featured in tons of fun university's "broken eyes"

[TravisBatesTV]

Performing this in 5 days, thank you. :3

[ZackyChann]

@TravisBatesTV how did it go?

[TravisBatesTV]

@ZackyChann I ended up giving it to a grade 12 since he really wanted to do it. It wasn't as good as I thought he'd do, because he did it with a song (not this one, but something similar, a female sang some small parts like this) (I think it's stronger without song.) I'm doing it next year though. At the begining of the year. :)

[theHipstertoo]

I am so proud this man is from the Okanagan area - he is a gift all must share.

[BenjaminAConner]

Does anyone know where Shane's live performance of this went? It was one of my favorite videos on Youtube :( 

[lafilledamoureux]

I want to cry when I hear him, I'm always left mouth-opened and my hands on my heart. I want to hear him forever and everyday and he is beautiful. Not just another crummy person who dripps out and wastes talent or is wasted on. The chills can't even catch up with the stumming of his words writing the energy of souls. Speachless.

[RamonaMoon]

They need to re-add the video of just him saying the poem. This is alright, but I really believe the song takes away from his words, especially since she is singing as well. It would be different if the song was just instrumental. But it isn't.

[bromordra]

Fuck. . . Shane Koyczan makes me so sad. He so beautifully and passionately discusses emotions and feelings I have never known. And that just rends my soul, it's like he's dangling a beautiful, wonderful succulent fruit above me and I'm an emaciated orphan who's so emotionally malnourished that his stomach is distended and cannot even digest the sustinence being offered.

[thisgalrocks]

@bromordra "...feel a self worth no banker can tally..." What are is sustenance for my soul. Thank-you. Give yourself amnesia to everything that ever happened to make you imagine otherwise...

[DaveDFFA]

@bromordra I think the fact that you understand him in that sense makes you more of an emotionally tormented sponge, because like me, you can absorb every essence of his greatness but it takes an ocean of passion to make sense of his plunge ;P But with all the rhyming aside, I completely agree. Fucking earth-shattering.

[2eXeR2]

This guy can be a great Singer! or song writer. WOW.....

[K3yJK3yJ]

Words really cant describe the impact this has, the words with the soft melody have never been in better harmony. Truly something which i'll keep with me for as long as i will come to remember.

Thank you Shane, yes seeing you live is also memorable, but this is just amazing.

[TheJacinta80]

does anyone have the version of this poem without the band? No offence to the band, but I loved the solo performance so much... I would be so grateful if anyone could pass it on to me....

[seizetheday224]

I love how he says sorry.

[DeathDelays232]

damn...

[zjamalaz]

can you send me a link or something so i can download this?

[aDDiCTeDDx3]

now this is what i call talent

[cbasti23]

this poem brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times i hear it. it's beautiful.

[zenizennifer]

her name is Maya...she is phenomenal on her own...and a beautiful enhancement to shane's performances

[handsomekiller01]

that was good. "nuff said.

[Oggalaboogala]

this is good but move pen move is way better

[boogyfunker12]

Oh my god, this guy is so unbelievably talented. Jeez he certainly made a new fan today

[angieangel135]

Awsome!! But I believe the strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. :)

[megszoo]

makes me fuckin' cry like a dork!

[alliekinzzz]

this is phenomenal.

sends shivers down my spine.

[Sparkcil]

@alliekinzzz Maiya Robbie and Olivia Mennell are the female singers in The Short Story Long.

[memoirs876]

the girls name is Maia Robbie. (:

[xViickyy]

love.

[charlieelolax]

Does anyone know where i can find the lyrics to this? I'm having difficulties finding it.

[palominosdream]

Wow....totally  amayzeen!!!

[wthdtsf]

Does anyone know the female singing or the name of the song she is singing?

[amberrhowe]

it's apology.

its just an addition that the short story long sings.

i dont know her name specifically, but its "shane koyczan and the short story long."

[Yyachub]

Maia ? something quite close to that anyway. I saw them live friday night, was close enough to see Shane's nose hairs.

these are beautiful people

[WmJasper]

@amberrhowe The girl that is Singing is Maya Robbie.....as to the song i have no idea

[Yyachub]

@amberrhowe

@wthdtsf

Maiya Robbie!

Her and Shane performed at a cafe nearby me a year and a bit ago :3

[sistersoo]

@wthdtsf Her name is Maya Robbie and she ROCKS!!!!

[paintmeblue07]

@wthdtsf it's most likely maia, from the band he travels with, the short story long.

[DangeredCat]

@wthdtsf Her name is Miya, she's the guitarist..

[catzace]

hes wayyyyy better live but still rocks just listening to it

[tiorules]

This is not how i pictured this guy at all.

[ResidentNinja]

Out of curiosity, does that change anything?

[tiorules]

Absolutely not

[HawaiiKoa]

i love this guy!!!

[skepticsightsten]

I like these songs, but I kind of miss the recordings of Shane just by himself without the music behind it. There was a sparseness to the recordings, but his voice is so strong that it never sounded empty.

[m40295]

shayne is a sniper with words shooting ideas and feelings right in the heart allowing everyone who hears it to melt like butter on toast

[rainbowgirl78]

he makes a good point. y hasnt bush been assassinated yet?

[keelstewart]

it probably has a lot to do with the fact that he isn't president anymore.

[niiiiiiiiiic]

It probably has more to do with the fact that he was a very good puppet. Only the good presidents get assassinated...

[punkfandan]

thank you soooo much i've been looking for this song for ever

[thepanicstops]

oh wow thank you so much for posting this!!

it is so amazing!!! =)

[magicman514]

i like
