Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton (As Performed by the One Man Quartet)

[Dmastercozad]

The dislike is as big as my penis :D

Oh, wait....

[darthmertz]

Nicely done, I enjoyed listening!

[Dreshanda]

Kudos to the two who have the top comment. They just made my day.

[CreeperOnYourHouse]

*clap clap clap* the magic of editing... or quadruplets singing into individual cameras.*clap clap clap*

[JacksonKillroy]

@CreeperOnYourHouse

you'd have to edit it either way broski..

[Morganimo]

This must have taken aaggggees to get the timing exact :)

[Gunman610]

@Morganimo Hmmm...if I were doing something like this, I'd probably use a metronome. I'm assuming there are some out there that don't click, but blink.

[Gaz6231]

@Gunman610

Good guess, I actually recorded all the audio first then made a video for each part, so it is set to a metronome, just not a live one.

[luis30luis1]

awesomeness!

[YAOIFANGIRL0131]

The awkward moment when you don't realize that its the same guy in all four corners......my apologizes to Ryan Higa for having to use this phrase.

[MrSuperJakezilla]

This is amazing.

[Garycolings]

Ohhh maiiii GAWD this is amazing. I wish I could get people to harmonize like that with me but sadly everyone I know can't sing that well.

[stykzninja1]

woah the chords blew me away

[brianerd8D]

19 people are dead

[Shineypillz]

haha thats clever

[Minecraftbetarules]

You have made one imstake in the song; where "now there's no use crying over every mistake" , it should be, "now there's no SENSE crying over every mistake"

[Gaz6231]

@Minecraftbetarules

I refer you to a previous comment in which it is explained that this is not a mistake but a deliberate change.

[DakingFTW97]

@Minecraftbetarules Gaz6231 Theres no sence crying over that mistake. :D

[Llwellyn]

Way awesome :D The chords sound super lush, and that's all that really matters to me.

[TheVegas007]

Awesome!!!!

[NDawgHoyt]

Pretty neat, but you can definitely tell you aren't a Bass. :p

[Gaz6231]

@NDawgHoyt

I sang as a bass for four years before I began training my voice upwards.

[daijonIIX]

Gaz6231, do you still do this? If so, you should do Sonic Colors' Tropical Resort 8-bit and Sweet Mountain 8-bit, look'em up, they'll be perfect

[madman2u]

Portal anyone? :D

[rozedragon]

Impressive! This make my day!

[TheFith]

Absolute WIN!!!

[Olpster]

i crying

so good is this

[Shonbi]

Agh, my head is full of choir. I can't stop clicking choiracapellavideos.

[lestersole]

i had the same headphones as you

they broke :(

[nazimdu13]

AMAZING !

[lazicful]

WANT YOU GONE! =D

[LordDarkwater]

nice but a little slow

[Yoshiboat]

Barbershop Uniquet?

[computermaniacdude]

convergence of awesome



[animezirow]

Lol nice falsetto. :D

[xxmasterchiefofahlo]

YES! Acapella without autotune!!! You just made my day, good sir.

Fantastic arrangement, by the way. really cool.

[gunblenotrstf]

NICE VID! could you do want you gone from portal aswell

[wordisbond44]

Very cool guys.

[Gaz6231]

@wordisbond44

I love it when people don't notice it's the same guy in all four corners :p

[wordisbond44]

@Gaz6231  haha thanks for pointing that out I indeed did not notice that

[Gaz6231]

@wordisbond44

Mind you, it is sorta my fault for shaving between takes.

[wordisbond44]

@Gaz6231 that makes it even cooler btw, fantastic work.

[jceggbert5]

@Gaz6231 Took me until halfway through to notice that it was you, yourself, your face, and, uh, you doing it :)

[gunblenotrstf]

@wordisbond44 how can you not notice it its the same background its the same guy and its sorta obvious because it says ONE man quartet lol

[GrannyGroovinGravity]

@wordisbond44 Hence the name ONE MAN quartet =P

[archmouse]

@Gaz6231 oh my god your right!!

[Amatei0]

@Gaz6231 I love it when people don't notice that it's not the same guy cause there all from alternate universes.

[Morganimo]

@wordisbond44 Don't you mean "guy"?

[clutchmsilvap]

Crazy!! :D

[flyboy21141]

You've gotto rerecord this in HD quality, post it, and watch it go viral ;) Heck, do the Portal 2 theme too after it's been out for a little while!

[Gaz6231]

@flyboy21141

No reason it couldn't go viral now if people passed it around enough ;)

[i3uuVids]

@flyboy21141 Portal 2 version of this would be pretty sweet.. just sayin :) ♥♥

[TheBoochan82]

Holy cunnysocks, you're amazing.

[ForestPrincess2]

You're amazing :D

[comet12321]

K thanx

[DivineIQ]

Hooly eyeresh paypul.

[Gaz6231]

@DivineIQ

You're kidding, right? I mean nobody is dumb enough to not tell the difference between Scottish and Irish.

Right..?

[TheBoochan82]

@Gaz6231 Aye lad, Scotts are much sexier.

[Gaz6231]

@TheBoochan82

Damn right ;)

[zDeviantGamingHD]

@Gaz6231 Looks like he is.

[comet12321]

Best song ever... What software did you use though?

[Gaz6231]

@comet12321

I recorded the audio first with Acid Pro, then the video with a webcam, then mashed it all up in Premiere Pro.

[Coraaxx]

HOLY HOT CUNTS FROM HELL I LIKE THIS VID SO MUCH

This fine gentleman here will get all the bitches

[Gaz6231]

@Coraaxx

Were there bitches worthy of my getting in this shitehole town, I would indeed.

[jimgleaves]

@Gaz6231 what

[robsunderlin]

Its "no sense crying over every mistake" not "no use" kinda ironic though lol

[Gaz6231]

@robsunderlin

Like I said somewhere down there, 'sense' is a horrible word to try and harmonize. So many esses.

[xrisonfire08]

I havent listened to another song in 2 days. Amazing arrangement. I'm going on a quest to get this video more views!

[Gaz6231]

@xrisonfire08

Your quest is truly appreciated, brave Sir. Should you succeed, a bag of gold and the hand of my daughter shall be yours for the taking!

[chuckycheezy1]

The cake was a metaphor

[Meninx87]

@chuckycheezy1 LIE!

[ljonesvc]

Man, I had the idea to write a 4-part a capella version of this song. My idea just got schooled to the heat-death of the universe.

[Gaz6231]

@ljonesvc

Well hey, no-one's saying you can't still do it. Who knows, it might be better than my hastily-arranged pseudo-music :D

[Klamepa]

This is the best song remix EVER ! xD you deserve something big..

[joshward1996]

Pretty cool man

[Greatkingrat88]

This is really quite good.

[AvosTear79]

11 people didn't get cake.

[artificialkoala]

Very beautifully done!

[jbobrab]

Hilarious

[KalukhroDesire]

I salute anyone who can do this-aka maker of this vid

[barkingcrayons]

omg this song was on left for dead two!

[Gaz6231]

@barkingcrayons

Wait, what? Are you sure?

[mugenfan99]

@Gaz6231 actually, it, along with re ur brains are on the l4d2 jukeboxs, still alive only appears after youve gone thru all the songs once or twice though.

[Gaz6231]

@mugenfan99

God damn it, I thought you meant THIS version of the song.

[mugenfan99]

@Gaz6231 lol, well actually, thats do able, just replace the wav of one of the jukebox songs with the wav of this one, but make sure you name still alive like the other song's file name.

[ir18orolder]

@Funkboy1234 but there's no sense crying over every mistake (In the video)

[alecbh13]

Last line=WIN.

[Yonkage]

Great work; I really liked it. The ending line made me laugh, too!

[SakuxZaku95]

...I think I just fell in love.

[TiberiousWalker]

That put a massive smile on my face. It is a cool idea and it worked really well, you should do some more covers. Nice job :)

[Slench101]

there is no sense crying not no use crying!!

[shyrleycanary]

Very niceee! 

[shyrleycanary]

Very niceee!

[GhostShade38]

You've got a BEAUTIFUL voice !

I love that version :D

Thumbs up if you agree :D

[Funkboy1234]

MISTAKE: you said use, the word was sense

[Gaz6231]

@Funkboy1234

True, but 'sense' is a very difficult word to get a harmony on, the vowel is too weak. 'Use' has that lovely 'ooo' in the middle.

[Funkboy1234]

@Gaz6231 Thanks for that, I am in the high school choir in our town, and thinking about singing this for the talent show thing.

[Funkboy1234]

@Gaz6231 By the way, want trying to flame you, singer myself!

[Gaz6231]

@Funkboy1234

No sweat, dawg :D

[snkatk]

Might I be able to get a hold of the sheet music?

[Gaz6231]

@snkatk

HAHAHAHAHAHA PEOPLE THINK I HAVE MUSICAL TALENT.

[snkatk]

@Gaz6231 well you shouldn't have put up a video like this. :p i'm guessing that means you don't have sheet music eh? xD

[cpninjagrrl]

@Gaz6231 But it's true!

[thatotherthinker]

@Gaz6231 what are you talking about? it's awesome. seriously.

[jakeforti]

@Gaz6231 Lol. I think it's all of the harmonies. If you can sing relatively on key and combine a bunch of harmonies together, people will think you're good no matter how mediocre your singing is. If you just take out all of the harmonies and have just the melody or one voice, it'd probably be a very different response. That said, I still enjoyed your video :)

[Ryvinx]

dude that's one helluva range :)

[littlelaurence]

You have a nice voice.

[ArixViridis]

Wow... I have the goose bumps from this!

[TheLomaxChannel]

Man I wish they would include this in Portal 2, its really that awesome. Sad it has less than 10,000 hits though :'(

[insaneninjabunny]

this is fantastic, I love it, it deserved the accapella and quartet treatment!

[SpockTron]

This was a triumph! I'm making a note here: Huge Success!

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction!

[SoraKirin]

this needs an mp3

[rfgggg]

@SoraKirin download it for free from youtube......

[Ovanteeri]

"This confection is a fallacy..."

Epic win that.

[coh454]

dude.. your video is pretty sexy..

[enomis9393]

one word-------------> WIN

[PedoBear801]

Pretty cool vid bro. Add me as friend :) this is some awesome work, don't stop.

[ColdRiceBall]

So much fun to watch! Nice voice, by the way.

[iop223]

are you singing about half life and portal? lol

[wiccan2509]

@iop223 the song is at the end of the game Portal :) its usually sung in a higher range by a female vocal... look it up on youtube, i'm sure theres a recording of the original on here somewhere :D

[jakkjakk123]

There's no SENSE crying over every mistake. Why do people say use? Well, great arrangement, otherwise.

[Israfel85]

Pure awesomeness, please make more XD

[jesse6587]

this is just genious ~!!

[CHLSegaPets]

1:36 <3333

[holierthanu1]

this is 100% badass.

[homedigitydog12345]

Your voice is a combination of Fergie and Jesus!

[Israfel85]

@homedigitydog12345

1: Who is Fergie?

2: Jesus?! What ARE you talking about?

[DevilReihne]

BRAVO! ENCORE! :D That was brilliant! I love this! It was amazing :D

[CleansWithRag]

And if you want another challenge, try doing a Beach Boys song. That is a 5 part harmony deal.

Did you listen to the Beach Boys? It kinda sounds like you did.

[CleansWithRag]

If you want a HUGE challenge, try 'Still Alive' from Mirror's Edge.

[CleansWithRag]

DUDE! You are amazing! You are able to sing the other parts without screwing up! I don't think *I* could do that, but then again... I've never tried. Kudos to you!

[grannysue51]

That was great, I know I sure could not be a One person Quartet, my voice is a second alto

I hope you do more I did enjoy it

[phaedrus999]

VERY nice, Thank You!

[Apollomasque]

Mr. Coulton would be proud

[guitarkis49]

I can't believe this vid has only 5000+ views!!! It is awesome, and should have over a million! Love the barber shop quartet ending!

[lolbizkitz]

Epic! Bravissimo!

[gregus021]

Amazing!!!5 stars!!

[harribra000]

how do you do this??? is there a special program?

[Gaz6231]

Not really, just AcidPro for recording audio, webcam for video and Adobe Premiere for cutting it together.

[Apollomasque]

I love it when people do this. Bravo good sir.

[theaviator595]

OMFG this is awesome!!! i love portal!!! 5 stars!!!

[Branimations]

Brilliant!

[B0b5634]

its hard to overstate my satisfaction with this awesome song

[ToAsTy42o]

EPIC WIN! excellent

[PepsiClan]

This is wonderful and yet, amusing too. I want this on MP3 :3

[CYPHthequadfather]

Hahahaha this was phenomenal, great job man!

[robinjam304]

Very nice :D

[Sil4s]

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo.

This is brilliant.

[JessicaIngmann]

Ah hah hah! Cute! XD Pretty good harmonics! Be proud Mr. One-Man Quartet! Ya did the song justice! :D

[ToeKnee0126]

Very impressive

[Aknara]

omg please pleeeease make more of these, they're fantastic xD

[rasperjaspertoo]

This is a pretty good video. I didn't even know this video was online until I saw the link from Stephen Torrence's video of "Still Alive" in ASL. Happy weekend! :)

[Unholybarrelmaker]

Wow... this is amazing

you should seriously make more of these

[Partyburner]

It's nice, but this one man quartet thing is usually called "multitrack". You should add this to your video tags as well as the video title or many people will miss it.

[Gaz6231]

Good call dude, thanks for the advice.

[chknsrock362]

do you mind saying what you used to make this? like the video editing software?

[Gaz6231]

I recorded with my crappy old webcam, then used Adobe Premiere to cut it together.

[ProPerfection]

amazin

[Tron9222]

im speechless, perfect absolutly, great harmony, im just blown away

[21stEuphoria]

this needs more views, way more than laughing baby.... >.>

[Gaz6231]

Well hey, I won't complain if you link it to everyone you know :p

[21stEuphoria]

;)

i need to, this is much better than the other "entertainment" on youtube

[crazyakseli]

Hehe youre singing that alone wery Wery WerY WERY Nice :) 5/5

[MrFig1987]

for the win!! kinda barbershoppe courtett, but its a cool spin on a great song!

[Gaz6231]

I had hoped it would be VERY barbershop quartet, but hey, can't win 'em all.

[MrFig1987]

no, no! i really liked it. it was VERY B.Q., you did an excellent job! :D

[delta1O5]

This is probably the best thing ever.

[uatninja]

Awesome.

[TsunankoProductions]

Remarkable harmony. Beautifully done! I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was wonderfully done. And silly, too. Awesome!

[meghanntrimble]

Fantastic! Literally made me squee.

[l33tspaniard]

*lurks on youtube as well

HOLY SHIT.

[vaglala]

[honestskeptic]

You just gained a new subscription. Great job on the Full Life Consequences too..

[GrinninGoblin]

Pure, Timeless Win.

[MagicGnome1992]

*Misconfection is a falacy.

hahahaha.

[dumbasspauldentonkin]

You deserve a big-ass subscription

[GorkaMorka92]
