VideoSong - Get Happy - Jack Conte

[belgam79]

love you............

[TheMightyNoodle]

sounds like it should be in the next pixar film

[DreadFugitiveMind]

this song is just so lovely =)

[eluap]

Jack needs to get together with some Muppets. I can absolutely hear Kermit doing this one!

[saxelle78]

I love you.

[qdungh]

I am sorry. This sounds like Jack Conte. Wonderful !!

[qdungh]

This sounds like The Beatles !!

[ThePolaroidMONKEY]

this sounds like Randy Newman :)

[tristar311]

I like this song...why have so few people seen this one?

[queen0106369]

I wonder what it's like to be if natalie sings this song. It's already frigging awesome with Jack, but just with the beautiful voice natalie has, I am wondering.

[wombletony]

I feel sad that only 33,296 ppl have seen this, the rest of the world is missing out!

[Ilovemyfender2]

This should seriously be more popular

[mikeyocrooner]

so tender! I love it!

[uufck]

this is one of my favorite songs by jack conte.

[Bubbabucher]

Dude, if you're not a billionaire soon the world is retarded. Please come to Bonnaroo!!!! You make Reznor look like a kid with a banjo.

[robahmet1]

i can imagin hearing this on a disney film :D send it to them

[Shenanigannery]

@robahmet1 I thought so, too.

[Water93Phoenix]

This is cute~ And so serene n calm~ :D

[CisterJazzme]

the down side of making videosongs is that everybody can see your "singing-face"=D. A lot of really great artists shouldn't try it...

[tophlovr]

:3 i like how nataly has a Happy song and Jack has a get happy song :3 so cute

[Verito0204]

Love it <3 So, pure and natural :)

[streetinspired]

ok....was suprised here...not because of the 'cuteness' of you singing this song...but because of the mohawk and toucan!!!!

[Llama052]

What I'd do to make music with you.

[missanamaree]

is there anythign your not good at?

your talent is mind blowing and feels me up with all types of emotion.

keep up the amazing work!

[missanamaree]

is there anythign your not good at?

keep up the amazing work!

[kristylee95]

you and nataly are the cutest couple i've ever seen on youtube. seriously. totally happy that there's no breakups, i love pomplamoose ! :)

[LoveLasers]

You compose so good.. You deserve much more than you have:(

[hswwsh]

Buying your album tomorrow, plus the Pomplamoose album too... Then somehow i'm going to get you played on Australian indie rock radio

[giamfreeg]

Really good!!

[JustBrianMusic]

i wish this was on his myspace :(

[jwadehouston]

Jack, this is a great song... You remind me in many ways. This song I'm going to let my daughters sing..

[86juanita]

SWEET song...love you love...

[SirYacob]

I just can't get over how good these chords are. Ah! It's so amazing!

[thepeteris]

Your voice is like an incredible mash up of Conor Oberst and Thom Yorke...

I think you are a robot. Designed by an evil genius to take over the world with your impossible musical talent.

[noose357]

BRILLIANT!!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

love it Jack :)

[graycrom]

really great song, catchy, lyrical and nicely played, stuck in my head,

how do you do that thing wih the two vids, do you record the audio seperately or something?

[skaterblo]

You have a mohawk in this video! Haha!

[stratocaster539]

Nicely done. I love your subtle craftsmanship.

[ekacangel]

wow... wow...wow yea its bringds back my memories of toystory... you should make another videosong like this very good...very great.. wow...iam realy amzae

[RealoveGSR]

This song seems so much softer than your others. It's almost Jack Johnson-esque. And I agree that is would be wonderful in a film. All of your music is delectable. Thank you for making it.

[aerb86]

man, i don't know why but this song brings me back the first movie of toy story :)... great song brother...

[Joseph9SE]

good shout, now you said that i can heard it, man im 20 & i still love that film lol

[XmetallegionsX]

This sounds like an Emo version of a RAndy Newman song, and i don;t mean Emo negatively....It's WONDERFUL

[mbratton0]

Pixar should have picked this song up for the opening scene of Up.

[AtheistAaron]

This would be a beautiful song to put in a film.

[ChlorophormPerfume]

I love it. This song put me in a great mood. :)

[ghostpoopster]

i cant vote for this song its not on the list :( and i really want to learn it

[artvandelay13]

the tabs are already up on the jackconteextras channel...

[this1is1my1phobia1]

if you really want to learn a song pick up ur guitar and play around till you figure it out.. thats half the fun of music for me at least.. it took me 15 minutes to get the piano for this down, so guitar should take longer

[MusiqueFrenetique]

it's even a lot easier to tab when you see him play it on video... But what you say is true, most of the fun is to figure it out yourself, plus that's the way to improve your playing, your ear.. Pple are kinda lazy with tabs now..

[SirYacob]

I don't know why, but this is my favorite song of yours. It is so good.

[DazzyBoy12]

sounds like a song the eels would make =D

but with your own twist on it before everyone gets touchy about thinking im comparing you to someone =O

[gnomeater]

Whats the message behind this song? I can't pinpoint it!

[this1is1my1phobia1]

i can't get happy not for diamonds or pearls :P

and btw i know ur joking(i hope)

[P1NCHED]

keep the beard def. def. def. def. keep the beard

[badnewsbearer]

you don't always have to wear a hat when you're going bald.

[lostintravise]

I love this, still :)

[friendofastranger]

kinda sounds like "sad songs and waltzes" by cake

[friendofastranger]

or i guess it really writen by willie nelson so i gota give credit

[OicaLightingsky]

almost sounds like jack conte might be bipolar... or at least the song sounds like it would apply to it.

[gnomeater]

its a song...

[sistermoonshine13]

I LUV this!!!!

[jizzy00jarsh]

PLEASEE PLEASSE put the guitar tabs up, or send me a message with them!

if you dont mind i would LOVE to cover this song :D

[dfOhCaN]

Nice song. Btw, the lyrics on the description have some mistakes, nothing big anyway.

[wagdude45]

so cute

[kaikarden]

I have to admit Jack, its refreshing to hear an "unplugged" song form you. i like this song a lot. keep up the fantastic work :)

[jennifizzle14]

I totally second that.

[1demonicapple]

It's refreshing that you're developing a nice range of distortion and stripped down. Keep up the good work!

[noshoesforrent]

man you are so kewl...

[myxomatosized]

this song sounds like it could be played during the credits of a pixar movie :p

[maliwia]

hey Jack i just received 2 Your new songs on email ....wonderfull :) i just noticed some change in Your sound ..some use of a big compress or something like

remember !! less is more :D

the Best Luck to Nataly for her exams !!!!!!!good honey helps

[invadernaruto313]

hahaha yeah, just imagine it being sung by Louis Armstrong and THEN it would definitely be a pixar song :]

[pissaids]

don't you mean randy newman

[BleedingxBliss]

truly adorable. simplistic, but really nice!

love it, as always.

[twiggymunchkin]

i can't stop listening to this! i think the thing that keeps me coming back (besides your amazing talent) is how the song sounds like a folk tune. i could totally see myself playing this on the fiddle . . . maybe i'll record it and put it up here sometime. :)

[susanss]

oh nooo Jack ... Is this song a lament of a break up? ... I noticed that Pomplamoose and Nataly's page hasn't been updated for months ... and when you published this song it was like - oh nooo have they broken up?

[jackcontemusic]

no no no no! no break ups! We're still together. She's just studying for her masters exam, which is in two weeks. after that we'll be posting pomplamoose videos again! no breakups!

[susanss]

PHEW! :D its nice to be together, its nice that you're together (sounds like a song!)

oh kewl Nataly's not just cutie gorgeous she's a brain too! all your fans are looking forward to more Pomplamoose! :D we love your music and love it even more in lovely Nataly twos :P

[Righteousnoise]

yay! lol

[jaybird1905]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o! great news :)

[whmVatreciant]

@jackcontemusic good im glad there are no breakups you 2 are perfect for each other are you guys going to get married soon? eh... lol

[giamfreeg]

@jackcontemusic What is she studying?

[giamfreeg]

@jackcontemusic What is she studying?

[darkbutnotemo]

@jackcontemusic DO IT NOW!! :)

[tahitiancookie]

@jackcontemusic ahhhh that's a relief <3 so you two ARE dating! :D

[e2h2tony]

@jackcontemusic yay :)

[Woostercat]

@jackcontemusic I can't imagine you two ever leaving each other, really. I fancy myself as a good empath, and I have what I think is a similar relationship to the one you're in. Good luck with her and with pomplamoose and with all your future endeavors, though you don't really need it.

[Tr1ppWald3n]

@jackcontemusic Thanks for making us all feel better! I love u guys....

[loganq]

@jackcontemusic With Nataly doing the Kickstart alone, does that mean you're broken up now?

[ConditionallyUsed]

Maybe you recorded it again since it is such an amazing song which some like me never heard.. so this is truly a special treat and need it on my mp3 player since how true it is.. sometimes I am happy and sometimes sad.. and the little things ... oh my.

[puzzmod]

you should do an answer to questions video! i have so many questions for you such as;

were you classically trained in any instrument or are you self taught?

who inspires you most musically?

do you lyrics have a story behind them or do they just come to you while you're writing a song?

how much did all your gear cost!!??

keep the music coming jack, you are amazing!

[mynmyself]

is that a new condenser? it seems as a c1000

[mynmyself]

yeah...ill answer myself...i have seen you have refresh you gear list and i can see there some new mics... i also use c1000 and d112 for drums, piano and acoustic guitar...

[jackcontemusic]

yo dudes, yes, it's a C1000s. It was my first mic! Recently I've started busting it out again for stereo recordings. TLM 103 on one channel, C1000 on the other.

[mynmyself]

yeah, i use one with my c3000 as well to record stereo piano, melodica and acoustic guitar...i love AKG mics...although i wish i could afford a neumann tlm...ill start to do some videosongs in your honour...haha i hope you take a look at them...

have a nice creative day

[cheeezon]

c1000s - great mic

nice song as always jack :)

[tehjummie]

That was utterly fantastic.

[ladyshallott13]

thanks for the notes jack!!!

[sfdavis]

One of my favorites :)

[theq199284]

guitar sounded superb in this song, are you trying new techniques? if soo stick with this one. love the song too. U never cease to amaze. u are a true inspiration to me and all my music endeavors. When i have solid material and some finished recordings you will be one of the first people i will send them to. please keep it up, and im waiting on a pomplamoose video haha and also come play some shows in NY !

[theking2014]

lame

[dhsc19]

I love your versatility. You always sound good no matter what you do.

[MoxxyPrime]

Hey Jack! I really like this one. It sounds very rustic. A nice break from your norm. When will you be performing live again? How about Drum Circle at the Park? Or renting a bus and performing from it while driving around the city and recording it? Anyways, I've come all the way from Japan, I'd love to see you perform live before I gotta go back. :(

[emptypr0mise]

YOU make me HAPPY! <3

[GermanPornMaster]

Great stuff. I start to really like the distant miking for the vocals, sound more lively for these simple arrangements, like I was in the same room.

The guitar sounds awesome like this in stereo. The large one's on the 12" fret, but where does the other one point to? You should totally do some howto videos about how you achieve that sound. Like where you put the mics, your favorite gear, your workflow when composing and recording.

LOVE THAT SONG BTW!

[notoriousassasin]

I like the new sound :)

[Klaaspisar]

i just spent 6 hours in a hospital and the whole time i sang " sometimes im happy, sometimes im sad, sometimes i feel good and sometimes its bad " in my head :)

[jackcontemusic]

oh man. i'm sorry about that. i hope you're okay! i'm glad you were singing!

[Klaaspisar]

i was singing it in my head. its just a wonderful song and it helped me get through the rough day in the hospital :)

[esantipapa]

Randy Newman meets Jason Mraz... most impressive sir, nice song yo.

[hosseher]

Beautiful song, dude! This should be in a movie!!!

[webtilda]

i like!

[GreatUnwashedMass]

diamonds and pearls don't do squat for me either.

[lilucraz]

agreed

[loyer258]

What a cute song haha.

[RebelWithAFrog]

I would favorite this twice if I could...

[wordsareweapons90]

SImplicity at it's finest.

[twiggymunchkin]

aww, this makes me so . . . happy. :)

[HeyLookItsUrFace]

goodness. this song just makes me feel so content, you know? the sound is just so *comfortable*

lols sorry. dunno how else to describe this (:

[HK7dramaqueen]

whats she majering in

[drdigital1]

Nice!

[ghostpoopster]

i really like this song your a great musician, i hope one day i get as good and creative as you are keep up the amazing music!

[oib4696]

Do you mind posting the tab for this?

[binkiebink]

I agree, could we please see guitar tabs for this? I would love to play this song, but I am extremely inept at playing by ear.

[jackcontemusic]

dudes, i don't have tabs, but I'll make a video of how to play it. it's on the way.

[binkiebink]

Thanks so much!

[likethewater]

YAY! can't wait to learn how to play this!

[poiesis1111]

Hey, we have the same monitors! Except mine are the 5's... I love the song, and your work, and you. Keep it up, you rock my socks!

[frenchytouch]

very nice !

[motoian84]

great job, nice deviation from your smash-crazy-uber melodic-multi-layered songs.

simple is more than enough in some instances.

[borozco94]

did you and natily break up where are all the pomplimoose videos?

[jackcontemusic]

no! heavens no! we didn't break up. Nataly is finishing her masters in two weeks. she's been crazy bogged down with work. pomplamoose videos are coming back soon, we're both excited to start recording again!

[MetalGinger]

yayyy masters degree!!! :]

[WolfCharity]

That's amazing. o.o

I'd love to see how to play this song you made. :)

And I'd like to add that maybe you decided to record it now because you were reminiscing on the past and felt happy? :D

[kapitankusto]

Thank´s god Jack.... Please don´t ever never loose that diamond, you two make me believe that love is possible,

And beeing selfish, I can´t bear the simple idea of loosing Pomplamoose´s magic.

[ComicSaxProductions]

I was so worried! i was actually afraid to ask that. I can't wait.

[borozco94]

whoo! thats a load of my mind. i hope that wasnt too bold. this was the first time any one replyed to one of my comments thanks man.

[kreton420]

sweet song. soft and quiet tho, next do a song with alot of cymbal kicking and piano smashing! lol. great stuff man

[SukarMadrid]

I thought that Ben Affleck O_o

but its nice job man, you working in 4 things!

[lexist7]

you cut your hair!

[funkydrewster]

Great stuff, Jack. Well done, mate.

[SumoSizeIt]

I didn't notice that shiny new Macbook in your last vids, grats! Also, I love these wider shots where you reveal your work space so we can see all the devices you have to work with

[jackcontemusic]

yeah, i like the wide shots, too. more of those for sure, thanks!

[ilovepurplemonkeys12]

This is simply a amazing song! I'm in charge of picking songs for my prom, And I wanted to know if you minded if I used this song and Yeah Yeah Yeah for prom?

[jackcontemusic]

of course! go for it! i'd be honored!

[LemonOperations]

This is rly inspiring... u mind if I cover it?? =D

[jackcontemusic]

please! but only if you send me the link when you're done! i'd love to see it.

[LemonOperations]

I'll make it a video response! =P

[LemonOperations]

this is very different from what you usually post.. and it shows ur versatility ^_^

that said, omfg, I LOVE this song SO much!!!! =D

Instant fave!

[ganglydude42]

Love it with a capitol 'L' =]

[hersheyam]

Either way, gorgeous.

[alturnatx]

You remind me so much of my brother when you sing. It's almost creepy.

Very simple but beautiful song. There isn't a song of yours I don't love.

[blizzrd578]

[Penily]

Makes you want to sway and bob. lifts my mood.

Great job! I hope it makes other people smile like it did for me!

[06MauiGirl]

Beautifully pure, Jack !! Thanx again ! Love the new doo too !

[mmhotpockets]

Another great song, can't wait till your next cd :P

[zenobiastar]

The lyrics are so much softer than your others. I love it all! Great job. Keep it up.

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Hey Jack!! Great to see you again :) Lovely little song....Getting happy....it's like a little staircase into the sky, one step up at a time :) Or a big leap if you are holding the right person's hand :)

Another beautiful creation. 5 stars and best wishes :)

Sunbeam :)

[paploo]
