  • Oh they cut off the bridge part. Still love the song anyway :) It's nice to hear an acoustic version of a song once in a while.

    Btw, I know that Relient K fans are awesome so I was wondering if you could click on my channel and just listen to the first few seconds of the song that plays? :) Just check it out. I wrote it. Would really mean a lot to me.

  • @3AMofficial Dude..you're awesome! :D

  • @satvikiscool Thanks for listening! :)

  • listening to them all singing, I started thinking how cool it would be if they came out with an a capella song, then realizad they already have one haha relient k has it all!

  • I love their alternative style, but sometimes i just like to sit back and listen to some calmer music just like this. this is perfect!

  • You just feel "cool" listeniing to this.

  • I want them to do more acoustic, this is great if you ask me :)

  • I'm more in love with Relient K now. I don't like really like Acoustic but this is great!!! ^.^ *deep sigh* this is amazing.

  • This is such a pleasure,especially after knowing and listening to the original electric version for so long! this video sparked a lengthy Relient K acoustic search =)

  • amor♥

  • "That's what musics all about ya know, to scratch yourself."

  • @ZachSchuby stretch...

  • Dang. This sounds amazing.

  • matt sings with such conviction and his voice drifts, i love it.

  • he's pitchy

  • @Dawgmandede not in the album songs...

  • hahahaha 3:47 how they "lost" their bass player

  • all RK songs are good but not as good as there old ones the new ons are ok thoe

  • this song has a completely different feeling than the album version you can almost see just how they have changed as people since that album came out

    even thought it didn't seem that long ago

  • Top 3 Matt Thiessen projects:

    1 - Mmhmm - Relient K

    2 - Ocean Eyes - Owl City

    3 - Birds and Bee Sides - Relient K

  • I Miss dave!!!

  • never forget that theres life after death...and taxes XD beautiful and funny this is why they are awesome!

  • I love this song... relient k's music has always been a blessing for me...

  • 12 justin bieber fans accidentally watched this video :(

  • since i was 8 years old i wanted to marry matt theissen. crazy.

    im 16 now. because i know you care.

  • thumbs up for them Ohioains!!!!! XD

  • so much love for this band, oh my goodness. they blow my mind every time i listen to them.

  • i love how they put in life after death and taxes at the beginning

  • michael cera? 

  • its a shame they didnt do the "when i got tired of running from you..." part

  • @jacketpulse i know right. :(

  • @jacketpulse i agree. completely. its one of my favorite songs BECAUSE of that part.

  • All of these people are such talented artists. I saw them live and they were missing one of the members so they all had to switch around all show :P it was crazy to see how good they were on no matter what instrument they played. And they were amazing live

  • love relient k! love this song!

  • there veary calm

  • Dave man.. he should've never left the band. I like the way he plays over Ethan... But Ethan is good also. Its just rk w/out dave cnt do this song anymor.. :-/ lol

  • oh man, what a fool band.

  • they make me melt. this is excellent. they preform live so well you'd think its from the CD!

  • wow, hes super live:] love this band.

  • i love both versions of the song so much so many different reasons to love them and relient k i also love matt's hair in this vid. lol if i curled and pinned up my hair it would look exactly like his because my hair is like the same color and everything. :-)

  • I like this version of the song.

    I feel like a lot of noise is cut. lolz...

  • wich music is this one in the very begining of the video?

  • Give Until There's Nothing Else - Relient K

  • the song life after death and taxes

  • their initial harmonies are absolutely spine meltingly good. what an amazing band..

  • Couldn't have said it better myself.

  • Ah, so Brian Wilson is why one of their songs is named Lion Wilson. Very nice, RK.

  • I luv this!!!

  • Why did Dave leave the band? :(

  • pursue a project with his wife i believe

  • Idk why this was thumbed down. You're right, petterhny. Dave was working on a side project with his wife and he decided it was best to leave Relient K. Ethan's a good filler, but you just CAN'T replace an amazing drummer like Dave Douglas.

  • Dave was/is pretty great. I have never heard anything from his new side project though. Ethan is a little bit more rough than dave. Dave was perfect for RK tho.

  • dave wasnt even that great

  • the more videos about them i watch, the more wached I think Relient K is. i don't mind, though

  • yes, i quite agree. i was specifically referring to the individuals themselves, but i agree that bands shouldn't ever be compared.

    =D

  • haha we lost our bass player.

    haha

  • I love this band sososo much. All their albums are so fantastic, they are so musically mature for their age. Just purely amazing.

  • I don't care what ANYONE says, that [Matt] is Elijah Woods long lost brother/cousin. DNA does not lie! Look at that face! Look at the beady intense eyes! Look at the mouth, the laugh lines, shape of his lips, esp. the bottom lip, am I looking too hard? Possibly! And of course...the gap in the front teeth! (Whoo!) Its crazy how people cannot hide from what DNA reveals! Okay. I'm done.

  • it's true!!!!

  • Hahahaa!!! I SOOO agree! It's horribly funny. When I first saw him, that's what I thought! *Giggles*

  • relient k is awesome!!!!

  • wow that is just so different form the original. they're both good but just wow

  • I love how the lead singer from the beach boys is a huge influence for him.

  • OMG A BANJO!!! xD

  • Amazing. its awesome how they can take two prtty heavy songs and turn them into beautiful acoustic numbers.

  • This is a beautiful performance.

  • he wondered off and we never saw him again...LMAO

  • By far my favorite relient K song. RK rocks.

  • matt T is awsome! he has got the best voice i have ever heard

  • they're amazing :)

  • aguante relient k!!

    from PARAGUAY SOUTH AMERICA

  • Comment removed

  • no,, no

  • i saw them at spirit west cost too!!!

  • They are incredible.

    I saw them live yesterday @ Spirit West Coast 09 festival, and they were AWESOME

  • matt thiesen..looks like elijah wood..xD

  • There is an ever raging battle in my mind about whether Matt Thiessen or Jon Foreman is the coolest guy ever. So hard to decide.

  • Matt Thiessen. Jon Foreman is great, but he's not so great live.

  • wow, really? Because I think Jon Foreman is amazing live! To each their own, I suppose. But I think they're best together :)

  • i say Matt Thiessen simply because he's so creative and randomly hilarious in a way that Jon Foreman and Switchfoot never were.

    i mean really, "I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom, live without a care, what could possibly go wrong?"

    top that, Switchfoot =)

  • @christianrockr08 Switchfoot is so much more meaningful than writing about a pink tux they write songs that actually have usefulness in life. Relient K is good but saying they are better than Switchfoot and Jon Foreman is blasphemy

  • @Waitin4theSuntoShine i did say that i wasn't comparing bands, i was comparing creativity of the respective singers in lyric writing. but if you listen to this song, it DOES have usefulness in life. in fact, Mmhmm is probably the single album that i find i relate to the most in life out of any that i've ever heard.

    that is, however, opinion and not "blasphemy".

  • @christianrockr08 Relient k and Switchfoot are 2 very different bands. They are both great but in their own way. And I don't remember music being a competition trying to beat out another band in different ways. Music is about creating songs about something you believe in, not to beat out another band, but to get a point across, no matter how many people hear it. I love both Switchfoot and Relient k because they are different. They both believe in something and they want to get it out.

  • @JoshGabs for the *third* time, i'm not comparing bands. i *don't* compare bands EVER. i DO, however, appreciate one band's lyrics over another's. that's not competition, that's just simple preference.

  • @christianrockr08 how about "Hallelujah, I'm a wretched man, Hallelujah, every breath is a second chance" - from Always (Hello Hurricane, 2009)? or were you just talking about funny lines?

  • Yes he is!

    They're both amazing live or not. They be my heroes. haha.

  • You're kidding me.

  • well he must have been sick or something when i saw him

  • haha i'm probably just biased

  • Iv'e seen them both live, and Jon is much better. Switchfoot puts on a much better live show as a whole. Don't get me wrong, RK is amazing!

  • nah, relient k's one of the most amazing bands live along with The Afters and Skillet

  • @Switchfoot1594

    Jon Foreman has more of a unique voice ,that I like a liltte better but there too different to compare, in my opinion. There both good.

  • this song has so much meaning for me. MMHMM was the first RK album i ever bought (although, shortly after, i began to collect the rest of them including 2 of the EPs) and i fell in love with this song right away. the acoustic version just makes me so emotional! i love it. Relient K is my favorite band in the entire world.

  • @TEXTUALactivity same here mmhmm was the first album i heard by them :)

  • can i download this somewhere? i love it!!!!!!

  • The most synchronized band I've ever seen.

  • I really really hope they release a cd with all of their acoustic recordings--I have so much respect for these musicians. They were amazing in concert.

  • dude that piano sounds GREAT; want one in my living room :p like it'd fit !

    - i love ben folds & relient k !

  • love a band w/ several great singers

  • "we lost a bass player -not -um he quit...he didn't die. haha we were traveling and he just wandered off"

  • the former/first bass player was a lot better :), but rk is not a bass band, that's okay they make up for it in amazing lyrics and guitar

  • i only like relient k acoustic songs they are so awesome

  • .........?

  • OMG Relient K is the most awesome band ever!! they are my favorite!!

    this vid is amazing, i love it! i love matty t. :]

  • w00t!!! Relient K!!

  • RELIENT K IS SOSOOOO AWESOME!! It drives me nuts how amazing they are :) i love them dearly.. and am seeing them AGAIN this halloween! front row baby.

  • hoopes is such a badass.

  • Wait they got that new drummer from OC supertones/Demon Hunter (Ethan Luck?)

    So that means Matt T is the only one left from the original band?

  • it doesn't matter, with matty it's still amazing.

    and the 'new' band is amazing.

    jon shneck is amazing, but

    i don't like ethan, i like dave.

  • Yay dave. :)

  • and matt hoops is left.

  • yep :( Ohwell we still have matt

  • That makes me sad

  • I miss Dave :/

  • wow...matt t's voice is like UBER-HIGH in the beginning, as apposed to the non-acuoustic, CD version...

    but i love it still.

    GAH. Can relient k do NOTHING bad?

    they're amazing, truly

  • Relient K can't do anything bad! i'm jealous xD ha.

    matty thiessen is amazingly amazing &

    shnecky99 is my next favorite; but he's tied with dave.

    & then john warne but only by a little.

    then hoopes.

    then wayyy down here is mr. luck. o__x.

  • aw come on. that's not cool

  • My favorite band of all time mostly because of Matt T and also some because of Hoopes.. Great acoustic, but always cut off the ending they put on the songs'original releases.Don't mind all the time, sometimes I think, like this, the ending is the best part. When I first got MMHMM I had chills when he sang the "God all this time, I needed you, I needed you" part... anyway, massive kudos to them, I hope to one day play a show with them or part of the band if they need of a guitar player again.

  • i agree with you it gave me chills too. Matt writes i think some of the most incredible lyrics.

  • those 5 guys r john, john, matt, matt, and dave!!!

  • dave douglas rockt so much, now there so.... davless....

  • Yayness, actually he's a lot better live. :D He switches from keyboard to guitar, its pretty awesome. I know their lineuo changed, but I still think they're damn awesome. :D

    God Bless ~Amy

  • they cut out my favorite part

  • um i think his name is ethan luck.

  • Have you noticed that it seems like dave almost always sits with his legs crossed? In the podcast with the video games, here...

    He's so proper ^_^ lol

  • they harmonize well

  • mattis so incredibly talented i mean like he's playing the piano and singing at the same time... thats like super hard to do

  • yes but also..Playing the drums and signing is a feat in itself. Relient K will never be the same without Dave.

  • i agree that they wouldnt be the same without Dave but i wouldnt exactly know how hard it would be to sing and play the drums but i play the piano so that i know but that does sounds... difficult

  • lol he is usally playing the same rythm he is singing... so that's make everything ALOT easier, I'm sure you can do it

  • this is tight!

  • I Love how they origonally intended "I So Hate Consequences" to be a slow song. But on the CD they desided to go with t being a fast song x)

  • Relient K is freckin' love!!

    I'm going to go see then live July 19th!!

  • goodness. life after death and taxes.. it gave me chills. i love this band.

  • Awesome and wonderful band!!

    They make awesome music!!

    :)

  • DAVEEE i miss youuu!

  • awesome awesome awesome

  • omg i would so freaking kill to get a voice like Matt's

  • Lol That's intense!!

    BTW Go Relient K!!

  • ummm.... ok.

  • HE'S GOT SUCH A FUCKIN GREAT VOICE.

  • fuck that is cool

  • It's a dvd that was included when you bought the album "five score and seven years ago". It's just an acoustic recording they did in Capitol studios.

  • i love Dave's snare in that video..
