ben gibbard jenny lewis nothing better seattle

[notindieenough]

12 people have nothing better to do, and clicked the dislike button.

[moomootheuglyshoe]

They broke up. How heartbreaking. =[

[WolfieWolfFilms]

<3

[ediedylan]

Jenny Lewis is ssooo perfect <3

[blackmoon4441]

this proves they dont use synthesizers or how ever you spell that gay word that owl city uses.

[wias777]

Good for you, just a cool song I kaif

[MegaCrasher3000]

Wow. What a surprise treat this must have been. He almost misses a few chords here and there and I find it so endearing! We may never see the Postal Service "reunite," but I still hold out hope!

[SingerTina]

One of my favorite songs from that album

[steponsteph]

so is this kids bop or what's up?

[PURE162]

The crowd.... WHY ARE THEY SCREAMING WHEN BEN SINGS?

[greenhousejpb]

@PURE162 i like it just because of the screaming ... the clip would be rather boring without it wouldnt it

[PURE162]

@greenhousejpb BORING? How can a masterpiece be boring, come one?

[greenhousejpb]

@PURE162 sorry, 'boring' is too hard! i love this song! but i want to listen to it standing in a crowd yelling and singing along ... dont ask me why!

[PURE162]

@greenhousejpb Of Course they should sing along, but yell so people can't here Ben GIbbard.... Na, not in my opinion!

[bookert21]

I like how people are upset about the crowd singing along, yet if they were at the show they would be doing the exact same thing!!

[TheJaceriley]

I think Ben Gibbard and Jenny Lewis need to start a band together!! this is needed for the salvation of mankind!

[MrLockthorne]

@sota98g I believe you are thinking of Jen Wood of Tattle Tale. Jenny Lewis only did We Will Become Silhouettes. Check out Jen Wood though, she is amazing.

[dannyfingersmusic]

I'm in Love with Jenny Lewis she is gorgeous in everyway!!!

[heeeeymichelle]

does no one else see that they're talking to each other?

2:40

"I admit I have made mistakes, and I swear I'll never wrong you again."

"You've got a lure I can't deny. You had your 'fun' now say goodbye."

[MadmanAcrossTheWater]

i'm a sucker for those cute "oops" smiles girls do.

[mnLIGHTS]

this song is nothing without James Figurine

[russvig18]

serioulsy one of favorite songs!!! The crowd is acting like idoits! shut up and enjoy the song!

[XiansiX]

i rather enjoy the crowd participation here. it REALLY makes this video great. if the crowd wasn't present, this performance wouldnt have felt as special.

[kajsel]

sounds like a god damn kidz bop cover with the crowd singing..

[prospectnyc]

It sounds less awesome this way. Need drum machine and synth bleeps. Otherwise ZZZzzzzz

[spikebebop25]

People paid to hear them sing, yet they're singing over them. Geez people, some respect please.

[KELSCENE]

@spikebebop25 Hallelujah, someone who agrees with me. I want to hear THE ARTIST...not your karaoke in my ear. *sigh* Somehow I cant declare my opinions on the matter without sounding like an asshole to other people. I tend to be intense emotionally (in my head at least) at shows, I get into the songs...people singing awfully at the top of their lungs really begins to ruin that for me.

However, I'd venture to say some artists enjoy/appreciate the singing from time-to-time.

[spikebebop25]

@KELSCENE Absolutely! But that's society for ya. I felt the same when I went to see an Interpol concert in Orlando. Their music just isn't for sing-a-longs. Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah, definitely.

[KELSCENE]

@spikebebop25 I got ya. Mainly, a few choice 'screamers' ruin it for me (I try not to let them ruin the experience for me, sometimes I can not get over it). I'm not in the business of killing enjoyment/fun, just trying to appreciate the artist/music (this is my attempt at justifying my being particular...hah).

[brownsound07]

Did Jenny Lewis join in as a surprise, or were they in concert together here?

[pananadadrummer]

ben gibbard is like the best fucking singer ever.

[ccatie456]

singing along with the words- good.

shouting "wooh!" "woooooweeee!"-bad.

i love ben gibbard, i want him

[michiegrl24]

don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future

[tecklePie]

pokey dot, pokey dot, pokey dot tits

[topeldigital]

yeah that third quarter thing bugs me too. alright song though.

[saranobby]

She is beautiful.

[brrandenn]

Thank you putainfromage.. for making my day.

[briman10is]

the lyrics work for lacrosse. Maybe he meant a lacrosse goalie tending the net in the third quarter.

[mymoviescript]

that's amazing.

[themange59]

I WAS AT THIS SHOW!

[kuiew3]

Jenny is such a hottie

[GodsentHellraiser]

Indeed :P

[Shumpb]

Too true Johnny

[JohnnyGeologist]

hockey doesn't have quarters

[stefanpaulgeorge]

soccer does.

[jstef215]

only in youth...

[JohnnyGeologist]

soccer has 2 halves

[lightwolf345]

yeah but as far as syllables go, "in the third period" doesn't fit as well as quarter."

[sotoje]

I wonder what Ben thinks about Owl City.

[DaviMakesMesses]

Haha yes. I love how you said that. Owl City is such a rip on Ben's voice, and The Postal Service's music, as well as a rip-off of Her Space Holiday's style. It's just pulled off HORRIBLY and all wrong.

[captainchaos90]

Ben Gibbard says, "Who the fuck is trying to rip off my side projects on pop radio staions?!"

[JUSTINEruth]

The crowd is annoying the shit out of me.

[SnuseInk]

Could not agree more!

[alphatyrone]

@JUSTINEruth They seem to think the concert is about them. It's not.

[DaBomb3434]

anybody know the chords?

[mutxang]

Adorable ^_^. He looks looks (and sounds) so sweet :)

[brownsound07]

Seeing this video brings a smile to my face. The first time I actually saw it I had no idea who Jenny Lewis was...that was so long ago! Now I feel as if I've heard every Rilo Kiley song ever made!

I was talking about this with my gf, am I the only one who thinks Ben Gibbard looks better with a bit of chub? haha

Also, I don't think he's talking about lacrosse. Though he says "quarters", the mention of a "net" and "3rd" makes it seem like hockey.

[bellalioness]

ben looks way way way better with his chubby self but I guess it's whatever zooey deschanel likes

[bellalioness]

no you aren't wrong because he does look better with chub

[Desnoxvu]

Amazing! I was at this concert. Not too far away from Pikes Mkt. Was a bit rainy outside, of course, then Ben Gibbard delivered an amazing performance.

[Blank121]

he plays it sooo smooth :P

[dbzrkyyh]

this is awesome , there voices go so well together.

[KevWillow7]

i love the crowd in this video haha there amazing!!! i love thiss

[Flameguin]

You kidding me? The crowd is the only thing keeping me from Ben Gibbard's shows. Remind me how not being able to hear the singer makes for a good concert?

[prettysorryeyes]

it must be an amazing feeling to hear people singing & knowing your songs though. it's beautiful.

[Amulius]

It has to be a smaller venue. But you should still be able to hear him. The crowd isn't as loud as its brought out to be in this video.

[cavanherk]

Great great great great wonderful great!

[laurac136]

OH goodness, i just love this song. Ben Gibbard is such a talented man.

[doodlesxlove]

PLEASE COME TO HONG KONG

[idlekind]

he should have proposed to jenny

[asianmatt2012]

No, Zooey Deschannel is better :P

[idlekind]

I disagree besides Jenny and Ben have history and if they procreated their babies would be gorgeous!! but meh each to their own

[15flask15]

Great Song. Great Performance. But ... just a question. Is there actually a sport that has quarters and has a goalie? lol, because i can't think of one.

[wanninggibbus]

lacrosse.

boomroasted

[shadowplay6]

soccer you downy

[15flask15]

Was that like... a joke? Because there is no way you can't no that Soccer is Played with 2 halfs. Not 4 quarters you retard. So next time you try and sound smart.... think first.

[shadowplay6]

ooooh fiesty

[sinophilic]

Lacrosse is played with 4 quarters and has a goalie.

[ERIKizBOB]

uhhhhh lacrosse does :)

[gilmoregirl1993]

I really like the postal service when they're electronic, but I think they sound even better acoustic...I wish they had this on iTunes!!

[gibberish4545]

you french have melanie pain....

[murraygrrl05]

Love, love, love Jenny and Ben.

[RyanDLoLo]

ben is a genius..jenny is hot

[ThePolo64]

Hello. As a Frenchman, I am stunned that today most best bands and artists are American ! Think about Rilo Kiley/The Elected/Iron and Wine/ Bright Eyes/Calexico/Giant Sand/Death Cab/ Aimee Mann/Sufjan Stevens/Ben Folds ... and so on ! But nobody matches the beautiful and always -elegant JENNY. I must confess there's another one though ... Emily Haines from Metric. You lucky Americans.

[paramore13x]

emily is canadian!

[ThePolo64]

I know. Sorry about that. But you know, for us in France, it's almost the same. Yet, I agree with you and there's a picture on FLICKR where we see her with a Canadian flag behind her back. Great indeed.

We love Canada here in France.

[mdale13]

we always have the best artists. besides the beatles. haha

[Deathcabforugly]

@ThePolo64 I am a Frenchman too, and I am happy to confirm you that Emily Haines is canadian :)

[ThatArmenianKid]

@ThePolo64 Ben Folds is Aussie is he not?

[fairypengwin]

@ThatArmenianKid Are you thinking of Ben Lee?

[davevan7]

@ThePolo64

Ben Folds is the TRUTH!!! :)

[tnable182]

@ThePolo64 haines is like canadian but was born in india

[produccioneselosito]

1:51 jenny's smile made my day

[ccatie456]

she's lucky

i wanna sing with ben!

[zylasaurus]

jenny lewis <3

[xrangerx]

He played this at a DCFC concert as an encore. The place went APESHIT.

[blackmoon4441]

@xrangerx is that a good thing?

[keepinitposi]

yeah all-time quarterback

[teaandcakeordeath]

oh jenny. OH, JENNY.

[ImAnElephant89]

I just piddled myself. I LOVE Ben Gibbard, AND Jenny Lewis. I love Ben SO much, I have every album he's ever made (i.e. Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie etc.) And by the way, I've been a faithful listener to Death Cab for Cutie since 1997. :)

[ohmylauren]

Since you were 8 years old? I kind of doubt that.

[ImAnElephant89]

Yes since I was 8 years old. I had exceptional music taste back then as I still do now. If it bothers you so much stop replying to my comments.

[ccatie456]

haha youre cool imanelephant89, death cab rocks

[ImAnElephant89]

Hahaha, thanks ;).

I love ben :). I don't know what ohmylaurens problem is. She's probably jealous because I've been kicking ass since 1989!

 You're cool too, thanks for taking notice :)

[ccatie456]

ben gibbard is so amazing!

i saw death cab live and they were GREAT, best concert ever.

ive been a fan since like 2001 and you dont have to be a certain age to like a genre of music, fuck lauren ahah

[ImAnElephant89]

They are pretty amazing live. I haven't been disappointed with any of their albums. Age is what? Nothing. :) Fuck that ho. :) Jenny Lewis is FLAWLESS :). I love her solo song 'Godspeed' on her Acid Tongue album. Amazing :)

[ccatie456]

i know!!! omg all of their albums seriously get better each time, have you heard the new EP The Open Door? Its really upbeat and alternative, i love it:)

ive never really heard of jenny lewis, but she seems goooood

[sirzeek]

Your such a big fan but you dont even have ¡All-Time Quarterback!.. how sad..you called yourself a big fan, you sicken me =p

[ImAnElephant89]

Um, you don't make any sense, and you can't type in grammatically correct sentences, and you're ridiculous. Our conversation doesn't include you, and no one has asked for your two cents. I'm a huge fan of Death Cab and Jenny. So. . . why don't you go find a video to help you with your relationship and typing skills. Skills which you lack.

[sirzeek]

You mad?

[ImAnElephant89]

No, not mad, just annoyed. I hardly ever get mad anymore. Especially over dumb shit that takes too much energy. I've got better things to be concerned about than some person on youtube putting in their 2 cents when it wasn't asked for.

[sirzeek]

You mad.

[janeferg]

she shouldve never left the news

[greenhousejpb]

i´m enjoying this debate nearly as much as this wonderful song. btw i have it in my favorites because of the screaming crowd. on the other hand i regret that i can´t read all anti-yelling comments.

... i love those old rolling stones concert videos where girls are falling down screaming when mick begins to sing under my thumb. today it´s much harder to impress the audience. but ben gibbard does. as for me, much more than jenny in this video. don´t ask me why.

[BAM5636]

stop....its not as funny as you think it is.

[teb120882]

Interesting war of words going on. My two cents... I think people clapping and yelling wooooo... as loud as possible is really stupid and annoying. However singing the lyrics to the song is totally cool. It is an interactive experience seeing your favorite artist live. Singing=good... shouting (wooohh)=bad.

[Morti825]

why do people cheer so fucking much. it just pisses me the fuck off that they are yelling and screaming like neanderthals while their trying to make pretty music. i would stop singing and leave. jesus fucking christ.

[wilgrad]

dude...calm down

[ffsletonework]

I'm with you on this Morti. I didn't pay the $30 to go see someone live just to hear the dildo next to me shrieking the lyrics at the top of his/her lungs. Please people, hold your animalistic crys and grunts for between songs.

[mlr5102]

i think they were just excited for the show. its kinda part of the experience of a live show. they were probably cheering that loud in the middle of the song because jenny came out. and if you dont enjoy the cheering, I wouldn't watch this video too many more times... but who knows it might now annoy you as much as you didn't pay anything to watch it.

just relax bro. ppl are just tryin to have a good time

[KaitlynHooligun]

You guys are ridiculous.

If you go to a show and just stand there stupid, then you ruin the show for everyone around you.

A musician loves for their music to be sung along to. Not to a room of lifeless idiots.

[eheraldez]

*Sigh* Jenny Lewis, you stole my heart. Way to go...

<3 Erik

[909dilligaf]

She's really hot for a Ginger.

[milram17]

@909dilligaf

I agree sir

[jaxn]

jenny looks into the camera i want to die!!

[Garytheuckingbunny]

This is pretty awesome.

I think I like this version better than the album version. They should release like an unplugged album together, or something.

Or just Another Postal Service CD.

[FourNectarines]

Yes! Another Postal Service CD! :D

[vegghead345]

i like how jenny changed the line at the end from "you've had your CHANCE so say goodbye" to "you've had your FUN so say goodbye"

[grandmasterfifty]

and the little face she pulled after is adorable.

[SingsongsAndwakeUup]

seriously how cute is jenny

[Camerniggg]

wow, the acoustic is wayy better than the orignal :)

[Amulius]

Ben Gibbard is awesome. I love his guitar playing style, and I just started playing guitar about 2 months ago... i can play HOME by ben gibbard, farmer chords, carolina, as well as some other songs like Island in the Sun, Title and Registration, The intro of Over the Hills and Far Away etc... I just wanted to know if i was doing good for how long i've been playing guitar.. i need a confidence boost =(

[Jason1454]

Ya Good work

[nanniehall85]

jenny lewis means the world to me

[ilovemutemath]

ugh that crowd was slightly annoying.

[Tomat456]

Jenny is cute

[squirleeyy]

I WANT JENNY IN ME! lol

[jay64stang]

He has such a dictinctive voice, its unmistakable, you know when its ben gibbard singing. Also the shaggy hair and really wild plaid short sleeve shirts that just kick ass and the emo shades...:)

[XiansiX]

i love this. :)

[charmedfan777]

Ben Gibbard owns my soul

[anewballa07]

is anyone cooler than ben gibbard?

[ouncetofreedom]

i am so in love with her

[mooserooy]

I love Jenny's smile at 3:08! She's so freakin cute! I just want to hug her.

[tjj8]

They've tried that. It's called "I'll follow you into the dark" by Death Cab for Cutie

[AceTing91]

Anyone else think that The Postal Service should release an acoustic album?

[ilovemutemath]

I don't even care if it's acoustic or not.

I just want them to make a new album.

[DannyPiss]

Home Volume 5 by Ben Gibbard and Andrew Kenny.

check it out

[jewelx2xsparkle]

I WAS THERE!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!

[rockel1986]

Wow @ 3:09. She's just unreal but SO real and wonderful. The crowd seems to agree.

[ZacharyJunt]

i was there

[orca222]

luckyyyyyy

[nataliexx13]

im a girl and i still think jenny lewis is so hot.

[statutorylesbian]

word

[livi030791]

nice

[mittenskateboarding]

i can watch this everyday.

[oyouarehereo]

I guarantee you that if you were there, you would be singing too.

[brocolizz]

i wish i was jenny lewis

[kariy1]

amazing song and amazing ben gibbard

[nolan182]

i wish i was there. thats 20 minutes away from where i live

[danielowensmovies]

did ben and jenny ever date or are they just really that convincing?

[joeg19]

You just know Gibbard had to get himself a slice of that action

[AndanzuZylz]

lul

[erikais2kewl4skewl]

its strange, but it really annoys me how you cant hear ben and jenny over the loud singing fans

[kierstenmh]

I agree, it should be silent. I hate hearing fans singing along. Bums me out.

[veganmochi]

I feel the same way as an audience member.... but, as a musician I would feel a great connection with the audience. It's so rare to have such an interactive audience. hmm...

[greenhousejpb]

Kiersten, I would never sing along with you The Way I Am or so but this concert is different. I've never heard Nothing Better before and now any other version sounds a bit empty for me... This week I had this song in my head every day on my way to work. The moment when the crowd begins to sing gives me goosebumps, really.

[AceTing91]

Agreeing with veganmochi, it's an amazing feeling when the crowed sings along you (from many personal experiences).

[PolarOpposites12]

i can see myself falling in love with jenny lewis and growing old together...

only dreams

haha

[klashtar]

the way the crowd reacts and the feel with the acoustic guitar definitely elicits goosebumps

[stephaniewli]

aww.. so sweet

[joebrosfan101]

this made me so happy. ahha i love the postal service and death cab =D

[ItalianClark]

if only america had good taste in music...........this vid would have 100m hits
