This song is beautiful and the guys voice is so sexy. Love this!

[missyroxxiee]

[DinoMatt100]

why is that guy just sitting there?



[zFL0]

@DinoMatt100 I think he's singing backround parts.

[rmhytg]

@DinoMatt100 That's the drummer - he sings and plays the tambourine on the Big Ugly Yellow Couch recording of I Got.

[mojojojojopoop]

@DinoMatt100 he looks sad and awkward ):

[rmhytg]

These Big Ugly Yellow Couch recordings are fantastic.

[27MadHatter]

Once I heard what this song was about, I couldn't stop listening to it. I already liked it before, but with meaning, I loved it.

[dilutedpants]

Gahhh. I wish this was the official version.

[MrReinolds]

divideranno i diritti d'autore con paolo nutini? la sua voce è uguale.....troppo simili.....è allucinante!!

[megustacantar310]

[cronicep]

I had the pleasure of meeting Sameer back in the day when they were still "The Jakes," cool guy.

[24applebaby]

Hey! Are they Muslims like Kabir, Hafiz and ol' what's his name, Rumi?

I hear Rumi used to hang out with a Christian named Francis. Boy, talk about listening to the birds.

[TheNashmellow]

love x ∞

[24applebaby]

Dear MistyKnux,

I agree. I am replaying this song over and over. The electric and this version.

I think I am in love with Jesus the bass player. Too bad I am over 50 and can't chase his ass down the street, or fling my panties at him. Oh well, I'll just take what I can hear and thrill to the melodic bass. And dance.

[MistyKnux18]

every time i hear it. i cant even control myself its so effing good

[Connor27Beast]

Sounds just like the recorded version great voice!!

[Elvishologram]

Gran descubrimiento

[muffinsourx]

[liljayfludd]

The 12 people that disliked this video....WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU??! Theirs literally nothing about this video to dislike! They sound great! AS USUAL! His voice is so good!

[luvmocha14]

[Miroshen]

Lights go out and I can't be saved (ooh)... Tides that I tried to swim against... Ohhhh.. Fishes in the sea they're staring at me.... ohhh

[topps17]

What kind of guitar is the lead guitarist playing?

[DanielVia559]

Thank god there's some great music being made with instruments still out there. I almost thought lenny kravitz was right! ;)

[joes2guys]

Don't promote DXM...



[marteenchaavez]

Poor Sameer.... he sounds like he needs a little bit of Cough Syrup at 2:19-2:30 :/ still an amazing singer though! i'm proud of us talented, skinny, scruffy Burnette Guys! xD

[aaronwpratt]

@marteenchaavez Brunette**

[ninjapurpleunicorns]

[Ellasp07]

My throat is a little sore, I need some cough syrup!! "Young the Giants" singer's voice reminds me a lot of the singer from the band "Men at Work"

[jasminwj]

I love this video and I love you guys!! This is truly beautiful ! Keep up the good work :)

[Michaeltet1991]

[itsAmanduhhhh]

I cried the twice the first times i listened to it. inspiring, helped me get through a lot.

[EveryEffort]

wow, this is probably the best version i've heard of this song so far! definitely surpasses the studio recording

[jordishmowish123]

Holy fuck. Young The Giant sounds just as good acoustic then they do normally. I wish I had a voice like Sameer. Me and my buddy are gonna try to cover this song and hopefully make it just as good! My teacher was looking over my shoulder as I made this coment. He likes Young The Giant now :)

[moeabebedoit]

this is the first song and video ive seen of young the giant. i watched this about a year ago and it had right over 1000 views. YTG you boys are doing big things. This kind of raw talent deserves to be recognized.

[Matticusjk]

They need to do an acoustic album. Their album work/live stuff is too generic and mainstream...|

This, however, is amazing

[Matticusjk]

@WhatsernameIsTheName Didnt mean it like that..

Nothing wrong with generic or mainstream, it's simply that these versions do the music more justice

[MusicIsTrueLove1]

Oh my baby jesus I love you guys so much!!! You are my insparation to sing! Keep doing whatcha do!!! :DDD

[sunkenship10210]

good job dudes that was actually pretty good. maybe instead of that you could write a song...

[Mark4875]

[pipster06]

Fuckin love Young the Giant, such a lovely sound ^_^ I want to see them live again! Come to the UK again! Although I feel sorta bad as I harassed the guy playing the guitar with my video camera haha.

[ruleofwrist20]

[biguglyyellowcouch]

[scorpio79ization]

[phatgringo]

This song, in this version, is the iteration of many memories, thoughts, and disciplines intertwined into one amazing work. I am beyond words!

[Taew2009]

[kimluhrs]

7 people chocked on cough syrup

[scariestmonster]

@kimluhrs 1 person can't spell choked

[yac311]

This song makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow, make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hypothermia, DIE, go the pearly gate, say wuzzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for Buddha, find him, have him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subjects to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, cry myself to sleep. Wake up.. Repeat

[kohogoalie31]

@yac311 ....I'm concerned for you my friend...

[chriscamaron]

@yac311 either you took this comment from someone else or someone else took this comment from you cause this isint original haha

[kenybee07]

@yac311 this comment made me get off of my work computer, go to my car,dig in my trunk,pull out my laptop,charge it and sign in to Youtube just so i could like your comment

[rjkahlon]

@kenybee07 Its not original. Its a comment thats been posted many times. This guy just copy and pasted it from another video. Pretty lame way to get thumbs ups.

[panicsecret]

@kenybee07 Oh yeah, I hear ya!!! That comment rocked my world almost as much as the song!! And so did yours!!

[LegacyHernandez]

@yac311

Well God damn!

[rjkahlon]

[amtrack04]

@yac311 I don't now what it is. But they've got it.

[ramzyred]

[panicsecret]

@yac311 WORD!!!! Your post is the ONLY one here that makes absolute perfect sense to me. Its almost as beautiful as the actual song you wrote it about. I'm with ya every beautiful step of the way!

[shalisa72]

[MrSom3thing]

[safwan4]

[rodrileo1234]

This is real talent. When justin beaber sings like that call me ill give you my house

[rodrileo1234]

Forgive my ignorance but is he the same singer as the young the giant? Is this his second band or what

[Smackapotomus]

FAKE!!!!! it is impossible to sound that good live, i mean how can a voice sound good with out a shit ton of auto tune, way to good to be live.........

[rsderosa]

@Smackapotomus It is completely possible to have actual talent and sound this good live despite popular opinion.

Way to go boys!!! Keep it up!!

[DocAuch22]

i love how the backup vocalist just patiently waits for his turn

[dslabaugh]

[WaheedaRahman]

It's a blessing for a guy to be that attractive and can actually sing -3

[maynardsheep]

I love how they finish this amazing musical performance and they're all just looking at each other like "yep.....thats about how it goes". So awesome.

[chonches]

[iirishdance]

[hedgeyyy]

"Cough Syrup" by the Jakes

[dalx21]

I still can't believe that my sister saw them, for free, at an Ugly Sweater Party back in 2007. The venue was someone's living room. And now, look where they are, a famous band. Amazing.

[ThePrincessRiya]

listening to this while robotrippin' will actually help you not puke. thought I'd share that little tidbit.

[ThePrincessRiya]

@maynardsheep I feel you on the percs. I can't do pills they make me super sick. I'll def. take your advice though, thank you!

[daylightdaydreams]

[FightingFarrah]

[xpf15]

[ChrisTheBulldog]

So I decided that I wanted to be a complete music fan, not just1 specific genre. So I branched out and found these guys, can anyone tell me some similar artist or good indie rock artist?

[MrJossage]

@ChrisTheBulldog mumford and son, san cisco, boy and bear, two door cinema club.

[DaveFoleyMusic]

@ChrisTheBulldog MGMT, Foster the People, Two Door Cinema Club, Phoenix, GROUPLOVE, Kings of Leon (prob already know them though), Modest Mouse, Washed Out....those are just a few of my favorites haha

[legacy1X]
