[adamch29]

Great song, and nice video!

[oxyjenVScarbon]

I wish this song would never end. Makes me feel so good.

[allysuffyrox]

They put this song in an 02 advert - the biggest mobile network in the UK. Pretty amazing.

[AKASharDonnay]

[IOwnedCamo]

Learned this song on the Ukulele and it sounds awesome hahaha

[SearchingforDakota]

They literally could have made this song go on forever.

[blasphemicwhale]

COME FIND US FUCK YEAH!

[PoundUrPancakeZ]

this song seriously has my dick tingling

[yankzaddict02]

like if you're here because of Luke Christopher's "Pretend We're in Love"

[BlahBlahBlahBoise]

Since when is faulty focus considered good cinematography? What did this video have to do with this awesome song?? Try again

[MurieJ825]

Wasnt this song in a movie?

[TuttyFruitty93]

@MurieJ825 No in a starbucks advert... how the song got stuck into my head

[MurieJ825]

@TuttyFruitty93 Ah, yes, thats it.

[isawthemlive]

i always find myself twitching my foot to the plucks of the banjo without even noticing till the end of the video! i love this song.

[kickassgreatness]

Remember when there was no youtube and you had to go buy a cd/cassette to listen to a specific artist?

Remember when you had to wait or pay to have a music video played on t.v.???

[Phil9019]

@kickassgreatness No

[kickassgreatness]

@Phil9019 Well, sh!t... I was actually writing to dude man who was upset with vevo blahblah, but any who thats cool.

[mrjillyjozzy]

Remember when you could watch a video without commercial

Remember when music videos were uploaded by user and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution

Thumbs up to keep at top of the page! :D

[smilystoll]

WOOO this video was added on my birthday. And I love this song.

[Sara7x6661]

Love the shit out of this song. Dig the video as well.

[xBenawesomex]

I love how the song only has 6 lines, but you listen to it way more then 6 more times.

[MumblecoreGeneration]

a song about friendship. video is friends having a good time. you lose.

[sylvenya]

the people in this video, their expressions, etc... absolutely no connection to this song. lame.

[israelasitgets]

eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

[liverpool0690]

@israelasitgets best part

[olddirt311]

What was he drinking??

[montypython401]

So much love for that guy's face at 1:00

[lunitaarrabalera]

I think I'm in love with this song <3

[Tillow31]

Now this is what I call music... :)

[jwolberg1]

Yeah dude. My shit sucks. I need to put another reel together. I just bought my first pro camera and lens. I'm working out some spots on a music video i did just recently. I can link you a beta copy if you're interested.

[irvingd1]

This is the first cd that I downloaded the entire cd! Thanks!

[jwolberg1]

please never shoot another movie

[MumblecoreGeneration]

Well I just looked at your reel, at it's pretty damn average, so I would think before you speak @jwolberg1

[moshnak]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE INTRO. I saw them live without ever hearing of them and this song live put the entire place in awe. was amazing

[MumblecoreGeneration]

I'm amazed at the amount of Facebook re-posts this video has had!

[xxthenumbersixx]

How Many Times Is That Dude Gonna Spray That Cologne Lol

Nice Video

[Calgurl10]

epicnessssssss Im in love!

[darrencrissfan100]

wich 1 is darrens brother??

[jsoltes]

@darrencrissfan100 who fucking cares! enjoy the music!

[darrencrissfan100]

@jsoltes i did enjoy it was just wondering, wat is ur problem??

[brettsworld99]

some one right now has just perposley overdosed on drugs and is listening to this as they die, im not making that up, there posting about it, i just hope that its fake

[AkumuKeayo]

dude. i love the slow-motion perfume getting sprayed in that guy's eyes. Nice.

[ohgidgetz]

thats a lot of fun for those greasy young people to be having.....yeah

[maxvickers]

wtf is a hipster lol? i just like this song, and this band. that is all.

[tongdav1]

reminds me a bit of owl city

[soludare92]

@tongdav1 minus the annoying vocals and silly lyrics

[AbduCola]

@soludare92 I think only the vocals was what reminded him, he has the same voice but everything else is different

[jsoltes]

@tongdav1 fuck off. don't even. owl city? really?!

[tongdav1]

@jsoltes calllllm downnnnn, the vocals are almost identical i.t.o sound..not content sheesh

[WillyBangsTheDrum]

yoo pleaaaase check out my drum interpretation of this song! i need opinions!! please thanx

[JewsForJesus]

You guys had a lot of fun with that focal length I see :)

[Angealolo]

I know what people mean about the long intro getting annoying after a while, But in Freelance Whales's defense it was the opening track to the album and it sounds good as a kind of slow intro to it all. But when I listen to it on iTunes I always just skip to 0:40 seconds in :D

[Sakkie217]

I found this song thanks to that Starbucks commercial.

[jmerten5]

Bad video.

[96integraohyes]

@jmerten5 go fuck yourself

[GermanSniperBayArea]

such a good song , and the video is great! love it

[savionesanders3177]

owedddd



[RockAngelGirl17]

This sounds like it could be something off of How To Train Your Dragon xD Totally digging it!<3

[RooloPolo]

press 2 :)

[Veilsidefd1389]

this ranks up there with my favorite things ive ever seen on youtube

[angeleyes9227]

I wanna hear this song every morning when I wake up. 

[Convery1967]

The guys face when he gets sprayed with perfume! LOL

[yolarachel]

Cool video!

[HoolaHoopHoss]

@aNoodleThing I have the same problem, most people don't believe there are intelligent human beings from Kentucky. And or course we have no teeth or shoes. Obviously :P

[Co0kieNo0dle]

Why can't the singer sing longer for this song. :(

[froman1995]

bunch of goths and emos drinking...cool

[ianingleby]

9 people weren't invite to this party

[TDATDIAlina]

How many know about this song through a Starbuks commercial?

[dejavu3552]

not going to hate

but this is too indie for me

[hanabanaman]

Thank you Sue =]

[thecaptainissailing]

this is like a mix of happiness and amazing

[stk931]

what the fuck is a hipster?

[Micheal30567]

am i the only person that thinks this band is part of the peace corp?

[nalyzbored1]

Oh Chuck Thank you for introducing me to this band. Hopefully you can come back for a fifth season to bring me more laughs and great music.



[emolgi0157haha]

Perfect.

[sunsetsunflower]

The word hipster shouldnt even exist. i dont know anyone who isnt a hipster, (has some kind of unique style and likes some kind of non mainstream song) so it isnt even a category. people who call others hipster are jealous likely hypocrites

[sunshineloveshappy]

THIS SONG IS TOO SHORT :(

[RVCA8909]

How about not slapping labels on everyone based on music and appearance. Going against mainstream is a good thing, label me a hipster then if that means listening to good music and thinking for myself and not accepting the "jersey shore" mentality that plagues our youth.

[aNoodleThing]

@RVCA8909 Just as a heads up, I'm from NJ. Born and raised, and no one acts like they do on the show. They're from NY, and it's all an act. They're all scumbags who didn't go to school and found a BS way to make undeserved millions.

[RVCA8909]

@aNoodleThing yea I wasn't meaning it too sound like all people from jersey are like that lol, I was just referring to their lifestyle and the way they act, people think its cool and it's not, no disrespect intended.

[aNoodleThing]

@RVCA8909 no worries. I just don't want people thinking we're all like that. I'm going to college in a different state and I HATE when people go "Do you fist pump?". I don't even have the stupid accent they do haha.

[TheMunchkinElf]

This song is so catchy.

I can't whistle, so in class I always attempted to whistle this song. Once, I actually managed to and got kicked out of the class for whistling.

Just a little story there.

[atryan360]

i hate this song soo much. its like the best song ive ever heard but it has too big of an intro. if they lengthened this song to like 4 or 5 minutes it would be perfect. ive heard there is a longer version out there but i have not had the pleasure of finding it.

[RWLivings]

@atryan360 have you heard second floor generator? a nice follow-up.

[RaRaAshley]

@RWLivings best song ever. I like second floor even more than first

[MumblecoreGeneration]

@RaRaAshley how is it the best song ever if you like second floor more?

[RaRaAshley]

@MumblecoreGeneration no, generator ^ second floor is the best song ever haha

[alexsabella1993]

@RWLivings its generator 2nd floor lol

[MumblecoreGeneration]

why is that lol-worthy? it's the essentially the same thing. who cares about specifics. @alexsabella1993

[paranoiaagent007]

@atryan360

If you see them live they play the longer version, it's really good. 

[whatsabolero]

@atryan360 see their live versions. they add an extra verse.

[TheTechnoTurtle]

@atryan360 They sing in subways. Look up some live performances. It'll be really easy to find. It's only one extra verse though.

[HomeroRuiz3]

@atryan360 if you look at their live version on SXSW they have the extra verse in it making it longer!

[cartmanandkylefan]

@atryan360 It's brilliant cause that's what they want you to think.

[1980sFreak]

LOL@ :54

[NancyBelieveTheHype]

I LOVE the guy wearing the All Shall Perish shirt! *Two Thumbs Up*

[nycolas1712]

Excellent. 

[TheProjectMJ]

The Commercial was made for Starbucks, but this BAND was made for me! :D

[FireyCurls22]

hehehe starbucks lol

[arandajose20]

When I sing this song, I always want to say elavator instead of generator lol.

[bandgurl360]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! :)

[soludare92]

this is brilliant! can't stop listening to it

[kesandher]

I want the job of picking songs for commercials. Starbucks, I could have told you this would be a great pick a long time ago! It's so good!

[KrapEGayMer]

I wish this song was longer :/ sadface

[J1VETURKY]

Actually, VH1 brought me here.

[beboler]

chooning hell

[PureFunk13]

everyone needs to chill out and fall into the awesome music! this song is about coming together, not being jackasses :) mkay?

[onlyxbeenyou]

love this song but i really love the way this video is shot. i think it compliments the music so nicely. good job :)

[Chemeleon15]

@ 1:50 did that guy behind him give him urine to drink? cus that is an ugly face he made.

[NancyBelieveTheHype]

Love This Song.

[giveityourall7]

Oh wow I cant believe how much buzz they are getting now... i thought i was seriously the only person who's ever heard of freelance whales before!

[yougot1shot]

I liked this song better when it's acoustic, without the electric guitar strumming in the background.

[ohnoaperson543]

This is beautiful. I love it.

[GothicLipstickKisses]

At the end of the day if you see the true beauty of music and not all this stereotypical genre bull crap, no matter how you found music, amazing music is amazing music at the end of the day. These guys are so amazing. I'm damned glad I heard them somehow and fell in love with the song and checked them out. This whole cd is amazing.

[xoMusicLIFExo]

We getup early just to start cranking the generator

Our limbs have been asleep we need to get the blood back in 'em

We're finding every day several ways that we could be friends

We keep on churning and the lights inside the house turned on

And in our native language we are chanting ancient songs

And when we quiet down the house chants on without us.

[werenevergoing2cday]

OMG! THE INTRO IS WAY TO LONG!

[KittyKatttx3333]

Oddly enough, when I first heard this I thought it was Owl City... Boy was I off!

But now I'm in love with this band <3

[MrGnarlyBro]

Starbucks got you here give me a thumbs up. WOOT!

[kh221]

WHY DOES THAT MAKE YHU SICK ??

& THE ACTUAL SONG IZ ONLY A.B 40 SECONDS -_- NEEDS TO B LONGER

[CoolxFrigginxBeans04]

Haha this song is amazing. Heard it on tv n now im addicted.

[sunflowereyes1]

I have work in 20 minutes and havent even showered yet. It will take a lot of self constraint to not press the replay button again....

[thesoftersideofsears]

@sunflowereyes1 thankfully the song isn't really long enough to have much of an impact on those 20 minutes

[xvMileyCyrus]

no, but hipsters do piss me off, they are really annoying and they are all the same which contradicts the purpose of being a hipster. then your just being a scene kid.

[xvMileyCyrus]

god dammit why do hipsters start things and then ruin them, seriously, this song really good, but it was made by hipsters and then hipsters listen to it (or so thought the people of society) sure these guys and the people who listen to it will be profiled as hipsters, but to be a hipster you have to go out of your way to be unique, listen to music that no one else does for instance, but since this song is really big and famous, it is not hipster by definition, will that change the profiling...

[RWLivings]

@xvMileyCyrus You sound like the 'uncool' kid in your college who's rebelling amongst the hipsters and their big group of friends. Sorry.

[LysolTea]

@xvMileyCyrus FUCK HIPSTERS AND FUCK YOU. MUSIC IS MUSIC, GO EAT DICKS THIS SONG RULES.

[ttmDenmark]

@xvMileyCyrus hahahahahahha its friday...

[stephenfiggs]

@xvMileyCyrus ... and your name is miley cyrus. soo cool

[xSuckerPunched]

@xvMileyCyrus Your youtube is also miley cyrus so you probably don't have a very good conception of what good music is.

[dyllpickle94]

@xvMileyCyrus or you could just listen to the music, smile, and groove. (:

[nik642653]

@xvMileyCyrus we could probably start a drinking game by how many times you said the word "hipster"

[jmayes414]

@xvMileyCyrus You're Assuming Hipster is genre lol...

[TheTechnoTurtle]

@xvMileyCyrus You're talking about how you hate when hipsters become famous/selling out? Not that she ever was a hipster, but your username is Miley Cyrus. You know nothing about being unique.

[Alexandrarose7]

@xvMileyCyrus say the word hipster again.

[lodleyoo16]

@xvMileyCyrus lololol your name is freakin miley cyrus. of course you're stupid.

[NoOneCanDefeatKB24]

@lodleyoo16 The only reason why I looked this up is because of Darren Criss haha

[doctorgonzo024]

@xvMileyCyrus lol you spend WAYY too much time on your computer

[briiannaamariee]

@xvMileyCyrus uhm okay: 1) you over use the word "hipster," which leads me to believe that 2) you are unaware of the meaning of the word, and 3) you need get your thoughts together because i have no idea what you're even saying (and i'm sure i'm not the only one). but thanks for the laugh.

[decemberhorchata]

@xvMileyCyrus

obvious troll trolls:

with a name like xvMileyCyrus and condemning hipsters all in one.

Either that or this kid is genuinely a sad human being who doesn't know what they're talking about.

[andreakay1014]

Love this song! Thank You SB for putting a great song in your commercial

[kerouacsbeat]

I only made out one line that girl said: "Is it purple?"

[ViperishTiger]

One word: Acid

[pnkflyd83]

ZOOM IN, OUT OF FOCUS...ZOOM IN, OUT OF FOCUS...ZOOM IN, OUT OF FOCUS...ALL IN SLOW MOTION !!!!!!!!!!mgreat video

[RWLivings]

@pnkflyd83 pretty sure there's no zooming here ;) .. but yes, lots of focus finding! camera was just handed around over the night to anybody.

[Stickman32692]

@RWLivings i think he meant zooming in and out of focus, not zooming in and out. But yeah, there was a lot of it lol

[dyllpickle94]

@RWLivings thats awesome. really. to like see a music video done this well by well NON-professionals. haha inspiring. great job, i kinda want this camera now!

[RWLivings]

@dyllpickle94 I definitely encourage you get the camera (or the T2i aka 550D), especially if this can be shot by my drunken mates and that's the result. If you want to check out my proper work with it, look up 'Lacey - Afraid Yet' and 'I Said the Sparrow - I'm a Villain and I'm Online'.

[Quakeman224]

@RWLivings I actually want to make music videos of my music of the lyrics that make sense. basically making the video be like a story told in song. if that make sense. im about to take Film in college to get some start at this. just hope I don't get stupid companies and such.

[turdnouget]

Starbucks is for straight up hipster phags but this song is ok.

[crzymuffin]

best 3 mins of my day :]

[unicornalita]

PSHHHH! thumbs up if you knew them waaaaaaay before starbucks!

[penguinking93]

I would KILL for a longer version!

[TallieAteYoux3]

0:55

look at the guy in the background (he's out of focus) xDDD

[BHUANGASIAN]

makes me calm and frees my mind

[amazingmazie11]

I'm glad I'm here because of Chuck and not a Starbucks commercial.

[metalshorty0]

hahahaha yeah....starbucks. what is the part two song of this song???

[TheBeatlesToday]

@metalshorty0 Generator ^ Second Floor

[Quakeman224]

This is just beautiful. personally. if more lyrics can be made for this beautiful song and i'm mean To make it work and not just cause it sound even greater at around 6 minutes. or more cause of the long intro. the music and instruments used in the beautiful piece is great. Just a beautiful piace. And yes of course the Starbucks commercial got me here. but Music is music to me. no matter what it brought me from.

[cooliogrl562]

LOVEEE! :D

[cooliogrl562]

LOVEEE! :D



[spamnx]

Thank you PS22 for leading me here!

[roxiimornica]

i like this band alot :D

[poster108]

I love this song! OMFG! Should be more words though, less instrumental

[poster108]

I love this song! OMFG!

[sophiejane12510]

I know people in this video so now I feel superior to all of you

[wakeandbakesam1]

@sophiejane12510 Good for you.

[Puddingcistern]

Is this the full song? Or is there another version that no one puts on Youtube?

[RWLivings]

@Puddingcistern Unfortunately it's the full song (album version). Longer would be greater.

[Puddingcistern]

@RWLivings Why won't they make a longer version? They're making their fans sad!

[RWLivings]

@Puddingcistern unfortunately I don't have the answer for that. If I could ask them I would but I live on the other side of the work. On the plus side, there is a 'Part 2' to this song, if you haven't heard it already? It's actually the song that got me into 'Freelance Whales'.

[615clh]

my american history teacher brought me here.
