Listener - I don't want to live forever

[jesseeadkins91]

I would love to get just a small glimpse into Dan's mind to see how it works.

[brissy724]

not really much into the sound of Listener but love the lyrics and have the utmost respect for them! I know of this and Levi the poet... anyone else have some suggestions of similar stuff?

[MetalAddiciton]

@brissy724 check out La Dispute and From Indian Lakes. you'll dig them. might enjoy Alexisonfire's song The Northern

[brissy724]

@MetalAddiciton La Dispute is my favorite band on this earth <33 haha. Have not heard From Indian Lakes though.. about to go check this out. Just to share the love, Troubled Coast is a band from Cali that is a lot like La Dispute and they're real good!!

[MacJak101]

they can laugh at something in the middle of a track and still sound perfect

[jcgoodideas]

I saw you guys at greenbelt ^^

[666LoGod666]

Dan Smith is the Don Frye of music.

[leel66]

war is essential its like a natural cull ,,,,,,, your number is up, get to the front, here is your Orange shirt now fuuuk off and fight!! cos singin aint yo thing (on this vid anyway)

[TheApocalypse2k7]

@leel66 you are very narrow minded, I would suggest changing that, but you probably would just disregard it

[Valkodu]

@leel66 Ignorance at its finest.

[theandyherbert]

I hope one day to have a mustache that powerful

[ormz21]

didnt know seth rogan was in this band

[titosugr]

@ormz21 yeah he is also in manoverboard

[XiansiX]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[oberpupsbackeman]

maybe one of the best bands of this fucking world. And I heard the the first time maybe 15 minutes ago. <3

[HoldFastYoungFighter]

I wish i was there so bad! Were trying to book listener for my church in january im goin to cry hahaha

[tydgkwiley]

anything similar to these guys?besides mewithoutyou.....i need more!

[bringthenews]

@tydgkwiley la dispute

[krunchykrunchy]

@tydgkwiley youve probably heard of em but la dispute are pretty good. kinda like mewithoutyou but heavier

[RemnantAdam]

Who needs all of this popular crap in todays music scene? Some of the most beautiful music, as Dan demonstrates, is made in a freaking basement. Simply amazing.

[KITTYCLUSTERFUCK]

@RemnantAdam Well let's stay open minded. Just like not everything in the popular music scene is crap, not every artist unknow is crap.

[TheCatbutt11]

anybody know the chords?



[chewbilicious]

@TheCatbutt11 Just repeat this:

D...A...N.

[nitrovo]

This song makes me pretty :3 for my girl

[joturna1]

4people are total idiots

[mournborder]

And people say that there weren't perfect happiness:)

[VanfHimself]

My friend went up to Dan after a concert and told him he was great. Dan smiled, hugged my pal and said "Thank you".

[vbaalberith]

HE BROKE THE ROOF!

[MsMARYCHAIN]

My boyfriend invited me to his concert in Copenhagen yesterday. Before that he had shown me his music and I must say I was a little skeptical, it was not really my taste in music. But when I was at the concert, I was totally surprised. Dan was so personal during the entire concert and you could clearly feel his passion. His personality and his passion made the music awesome and after the concert he gave himself plenty of time to talk with us fans and thank us for coming. He's adorable

[zgrisak]

Dan speaks for every mouth-less heart.

[filthieft]

the crowd gets the words wrong every. freaking. time. just dont say anything.

[johnnyXsniper]

@filthieft all just fuckin drunk and rowdy or hipster and stupid, either or

[AKingOfRagEmCity]

Pure art, pure music, pure passion. This is music from the heart. God, I wish I could show the world this.

[L337EE]

Dan is so amazing

[ianharwood]

at 3:36 the guitarist punched a hole in the roof xD

[ianharwood]

hell no. this is not music for hipster. i shower on a daily basis dammit.

[spartan346]

LOL at 3:38 xD

[414zstef]

good one haha. didnt say i didnt like it

[RadBrad13]

@414zstef Good one.

[414zstef]

Bunch of hipsters. lmao

[RadBrad13]

@414zstef Heheh, I love Brutal Death Metal and Grindcore and then I like Listener. That must make me some kind of 'Metalhipster'.

[darko1295]

@414zstef Then I proudly declare that I'm a hipster. XD

[RadBrad13]

@414zstef You're a cunt.

[138shawn]

just found out about this guy through one of the chariots videos. this is different

[LyricBoy12]

He looks like Mario... Lol, cept he makes amazing music.

[jessicaalynn14]

I would kill to see them. Great lyrics, great tunes. They have amazing stage presence too.

[Adnold]

Anybody know the chords for this awesome song?

[6ixesandse7ens]

@Adnold first part Em, Am, CMajor, DMajor, then where he's punching the guitar CMaj, DMaj during the chug a lug 1:49 Cmaj, Dmaj, Em, play around with it, thats most of it.

[jman9082]

Dan Smith for president

[TemplarJacob]

The crowd keeps saying "I don't wanna live forever, I just wanna live for now!"

They don't notice it changes?

[gutturaldissonance]

@TemplarJacob i noticed that too aha

[veronikarox]

I saw them live in portland, awesome show!

[swampdodger33]

where did the monkeys come from...ooh,ooh, ooh

[yeahseven]

my eyes saw fire, my heart said escape!!

[KateElizabethAshton]

i couldn't like this more than i already do.. so good

[10210metalfaith]

i feel like this guy is like... a counterfeit to a product (the product being aaron weiss).. why settle for the counterfeit when you can have the real thing?

[Bandakoot77]

@10210metalfaith I don't believe that's even a fair statement. Dan Smith has his own style. I just discovered these guys via my friend/The Chariot, but it would be wrong to say that Mewithoutyou (known about them for a long time) and Listener are even similar. This is way more poetry (spoken word). I think your use of "counterfeit" insinuates that it's an intimation. It is it's own style and swag.

[EyeRapist]

Its gotta be pretty tough to put that much emotion into every song and every performance. Id be exhausted

[VeryOldTom]

I simply loves how Dan always twitches like he sees the rhythm in everything...its magic

[09zroberts]

Im addicted to listener. i have watched like all of the videos by them like 12000 times

[ChainofGrace]

@09zroberts i'm with you on that

[mubudubum]

@09zroberts So how is there only 6928 views?

[Nizzemanden]

@09zroberts Oh my god. It's.. it's.. it's over 9000!!!

[aza810]

Dan is awesome
