There is something in the raw force of this song that holds me to it. The honest emotion is translated into the purest means of expression and forever keeps it as one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. For it's simplicity, it's humility, the honesty and the passion in the voice of that man.
In a perfect world all the bands who post their music on youtube would read all the comments that are posted...but this isn't a perfect world obviously. but nonetheless i would like to say you have made a beautiful piece of work! absolutely beautiful. dont ever quit
@msoderLOL really? did i say ANYWHERE that it was BAD to be east asian? no, i was stating the obvious, admittedly it wasnt very funny... but your the one being judgemental here
I saw them in concert once in Atlanta when they were opening for Broken Bells. A friend and I had to duck out early but we stopped by the merch table for a second and Chris was their. I could have talked to him or had him sign an album, but I didn't. That really kills me now : (
@haleykennedy0 Perfect is not the word that comes to mind. He seems pretty flawed, but erring on the correct side of what must be only partly formed. I think he's magnificent.
This songs, this version, yes every single letter or accord means everything to me... this song makes me feel entirely happy when I am good and gives me strength to go through bad times... at the same time the melody is the most wonderful I have ever heard. For me it includes like a billion of wonderful emotions. THE MORNING BENDERS : please come to Germany!!!
Gah! I'm obsessing myself with the morning benders and out of all my obsessions this is the most prolific one! OMG Chris Chu sings this sooo well! I FELL LIKE CRYING without knowing the reason why!
The morning benders. When i originaly found this band, it was a love/ hate relationship. Now I can certainly say, they are the oneof the bands that has inspired much of my music and cheoragraphy :)
0:08 "That ugh we've never played live". 5:23 "Thank you guys; we've never played that song.." Lol makes me laugh. The last part is kinda quiet; you might have to turn up the volume a little.
there are three types of people in the world. hipsters, people who don't give a shit about hipsters, and people who are so worried and angry about hipsters that they become lame and no longer enjoy cool things
All of theire songs are such independent impressive entities. Each one really creates its own world for you to live in for a few minutes. A really incredible band and writing style.
@siowanna A hipster is a music snob who refuses to embrace good music if too many people know about it, when in reality a good song is a good song no matter where it comes from. That's what makes music a pure art. If someones loves Justin Beiber's music that's their business. Actually, if someone still loves him after everyone else says they hate him, ironically that makes Justin Beiber fans more hip because they're going against the mainstream I love music irony. P.S. I don't like Beiber.
1. it's fucking music. 2. who cares if "hipsters" like em or not. 3. their music will stay the same, even if they get more publicity. we should be happy for them and not sulk like little bitches because they get featured on a candy commercial because it's too "mainstream".
you know i started listening to morning benders because my girl said i dont like her tastes. I just wanted to make a point......i forgot what my point to make was.
the reason hipsters are a dying breed is cause they let all their beliefs die. you cant stop believing in something just cause someone else believes it to. that should be exciting, not negative
There is a quote in American Beauty "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it... and my heart is going to cave in." That is how I feel about the music and cinematography that La Blogotheque creates.
