Dashboard Confessional- Hands Down [acoustic]

[Darwyn7]

inspired by morrisey much?

[SuperPootieTang]

i get head to this song

[demolitionwoman888]

this is a preface to every teenager's lovelife. so beautiful!

[BenjaminEllett]

MEGA64 PODCAST 81 GGGGGGGGOOO!!!!! THEME SONG!

[Cassybawlz]

My relationship song <3 =]

[doyledanzig]

I'm confused,havn't listened to Daskboard Confessional in years,but wasn't the whole thing about it that it was all Acoustic?,Why does his songs have drums and music videos now?!?!

[alxplaysguitarr]

love this song :D

[handsXdown93]

This is why I love Chris Carrabba<3 Music is art. Art is supposed to invoke an emotional response. We seem to have lost that in most music today...

[MrKramuri]

a hundred*

[MrKramuri]

this is a 100 times better than the original...

[BreakDown4900]

@MrKramuri This is the orginal

[danG0713]

@MrKramuri this is the original...

[srslyGMBK]

@MrKramuri This is the original.

[juanrojo182]

excelente cancion! muy nostalgica . (:

[staind1603]

that feel when this reminds you of the girl you want but she doesnt even care....

[dylanpunkkurosaki]

Molesting the replay button :$

[breakfreakmofo]

this song isn't about sex its about him falling in love with a girl he really likes.

[xhectichectorx]

this song reminds me of my wife...no matter what...through all the arguments her kiss is all it takes...

[possumkilla1020]

Still my favorite song ever.

[butterfly8222]

and you kissed me like you meant it. and i knew, that you meant it &hearts; gives me chills every time!!

[BassTKD826]

IMO, this version is WAAAY better than the other one by Dashboard Confessional. 

[BassTKD826]

@BassTKD826 the original one, I mean.

[IDrum586]

I just remember Replaying this over and over after I lost my virginity.. Lol she used ME lmao ...i was like damn this song fits it great tho.. bc everything i sacrificed that night

[kendosean]

This is the song "The fish that got away" dedicated to us T_T *sigh* I hate fishing now

[DJPixeliux]

@kjgould86 yes its good but it would be better with matt bellamy or the singer of 30 seconds to mars

[DJPixeliux]

i love this song but theres just one problem, the singer i dont like his voice he should be the guitarrist and someone else should sing

[ISkaterKidI]

I think this song is about somebody being really in love but nobody else realizing how much he cares for his signifigant other. The line "hey man did you get some? Mon that is so dumb." really explains that. And that signifigant other not loving him like he loves her. I have been in this situation and It really isnt fun.

[XxrawrbabiixX]

omg this song brings back so many memories.

the acoustic makes it so much more powerful and meaningful..ilove it;

<3</3

ohmann. love is complicated =\

[YourMotherOnPot]

god bless you one tree hill for showing me the accoustic version, and an amazing band :)

[NorthingsDellas]

Did anyone ever think this is about losing his virginity ON a date?

[jkrtz123]

Better than the original.

[AdamPwnsMusic]

great song. great band. love it

[fukinGorilla33]

this song is soo meaning ful..talking bout his true love... <3 love it

[benbonigan]

i didn't even know there was another version, thought acoustic was the only one.. still acoustic is the best.

[rarechange]

every time i hear this song i think about cruising with my best friend and having random adventures.... ahhhh... good old days. peace all.

[LuisTrivelatto]

omg, cant believe you are discussing what exactly does the lyrics say... if it says something or another something, you wont like it? i mean, i like the chords he does on the guitar, i like the beat of the song, the pitches he does while singing, the drum track that isnt on this video... i like the song whatever the lyrics say =)

[DrewtheWho]

I HAVE NO FRIENDS. PLEASE HELP

lawl

[DerPolle]

it doesn't matter, what he says the song is about, i think - important is, what you feel and experience with and because of this song

[YourMotherOnPot]

i prefer this acoustic version, its beautiful <3

[MrEtikesta]

nice 

[tinawulff]

it is about a date.. he has once said: this song is about the best date I ever had...

[BOYthatROX]

@tinawulff are you sure he said "date" and not "day"?



[JDBernal82]

dewd!! FraggleRock kicked ass =]]

[JDBernal82]

Hands Down..the best song Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :D

[flipski909]

haha they sat next to me at my dining hall on sunday it was awesome!

[kkaneohe808]

this is one of my favs. i love it because of the sincerity in the lyrics and you can tell that they meant the lyrics. :)

[FluorescenLightBulb]

i love the acoustic one so much better :/ idk why but i do

[battybounce1999]

it is about losing his virginity

[khaosdemon2]

@battybounce1999 i don't think thats right... but feel free to think that.

[ninjaboyjeff]

My dad.

[wakuzaiki123]

i really love this song because the lyrics of this song to say my feelings to my love..and because of this song now we are already 3months on our relationship!!! yeah!!! she really loves this song too!!! ehehehehe tnx alot dashboard!!!

[bombifan]

What do you mean you don't care what the lyrics mean? How can you think the song rocks if you don't even put any thought into what the vocalist is actually saying? Liking a song only for its melody is kind of shallow.

[rorofoshizzle]

so much better acoustic :)

[winnerkyna]

when i hear this song i cant stop playing this again and again

[crozbi123]

wew

[lemypie]

I love this song so much! the acoustic is defos the best version but either way it's an amazing songXD

[hasayo666]

this is definatly better than the non acoustic by far

[TheVids525]

I dont care what the lyrics mean too much, the song just rocks!

[jmckenzie12rfc]

...definitely just is in love with the girl. im sure that "so we can get some" is meant to be humourous because people ask it trying to be cool. Look at ALL the lyrics before you excited little virgins out there think "giggle he means sex!"

[xc648]

why do people think it's about losing their virginity? every time i hear it, i always think it's about a date that he just completely fell in love with the girl. just being with her makes his heart jump.

[ashitaro311]

its pretty obvious hes talking about fucking his gf, not being HIS first time, just the first time they fucked. read the lyrics man.

[xc648]

well if you listen to the so impossible EP in its entierty, you'll find the song to be the conclusion of his yearning of a girl he likes and the song is his first date with her. it's not lust or anything sexual, it's purely happiness and being genuine. the lyrics don't say anything man. it's how you interpret it buddy

[ashitaro311]

Safe in here from all the stupid questions.

"hey did you get some?"

Man, that is so dumb.

Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...

so we can get some.

lol that only really means one thing. lol

[xc648]

.....i think i'm entitled to my opinion/interpretation. there's no right way to think is there?

[MillerDecaXC]

@ashitaro311 uhhhh hes right, if def means sex

1st line: friends are always asking if you tapped it

2nd line: acting like he doesnt care what his friends think and doesnt want them in his business

3rd line: sex is loud, he doesnt want anyone to hear

4th line: he wants to tapp it

[thewintersbreath]

@MillerDecaXC ....so. ur an idiot right? its about being with this girl and falling totally head over heals. And him giving his heart to her. and he'll ALWAYS remember that day.

[winnerkyna]

@ashitaro311 read the lyrics AGAIN he said and this walk that we share! its a walk or it meant talking not even dating the boy just has a crush on the girl duh

[winnerkyna]

@xc648 thats because they like to hear or feel the word

[fragglerock2189]

@xc648 well he does say so we can get some... i dont think they need to be quiet to get some ice cream or something.... hahahahaha

[linkk98]

@fragglerock2189 he's talking about when he's on the best date he ever had, hes away from his friends, he's just tired of his friends being like, "hey did u get some?" then he mentions that the statement is so dumb.

[linkk98]

@xc648 it never once even crossed my mind that this song could even be mistaken about losing their virginity untill u mentioned it. & i thought MY mind was in the gutter XD i always just thought of it as him falling in love with a girl on a normal, boring date, & him just hoping that she feels the same way...

[xc648]

@linkk98 i didn't think of the song as him losing his virginity but someone commented on it and it seemed so ridiculous to label a song like this with something as well..vulgar, if you will, as that.

[stayaliveplayer1]

@xc648 because it is about him losing his virginity, he said so in an interview about this song.

[stabberspvfork]

@xc648 " Safe in here from

All those stupid questions

"Hey did you get some?"

Man, that is so dumb

Stay quiet

Stay near

Stay close, they can't hear

So we can get some"

maybe because it says it. lol. altho, i would definitely relate it too that too... either way, great song

[LuvMadonna626]

@xc648 he said it's about losing his virginity but not to be taken as a song about the sex itself but about how momentous the occasion was.

[yootoobdude]

@xc648 im not in favor for one theory or another, but if this song has nothing do to with sex, what do you think the term "get some" means in this song?

[Oithissucks]

@xc648 That's exactly what it is. He's even said it in their live renditions that this was about the best night he's ever had.

[angizeigto]

@xc648 totally agreed 100% , I listen to this song on our first date with my friend and now he's my boyfriend ;)

[hekkuta]

@xc648 because that's what he actually says it's about

[EpicFailGuitarist]

@xc648 He openly admits it's about losing his virginity. Come on.

[xc648]

@EpicFailGuitarist dude, i wrote that a year ago and after listening to it several times, yeah he does. its just a song man, come on.

[findingsqu1rt]

Either version is easily one of my favorite songs or captures one of my favorite moods.

[Hotdawg0007]

IS this song about his first time?

[iheartDH]

pretty sure, or his first time with that specific girl

[andrewzot]

i'd say HER first time. he's trying to convince a virgin to let him in her pants

[poyski14]

yeah. I prefer the acoustic version.

[LazybutLazy101]

AHHH I LOVE IT!!

[Chewcamcblefleh]

People always say the Original.... The acoustic version is actually the original version... -.-

[ImakeVideosFoSho]

This is the most played song on my ipod by far.

[synbin24]

a true classic

[SmashedPumpkin08]

this is not the vid of the acoustic version of this song.

[laurelxo]

i definatly agree

i hate the non-acoustic version of this song .. it just doesnt seem the same.

[wayoc]

i dunno if id say hate... but this versions definately alot better...... best song in the world

[buttock123]

I don't know if anyone else thinks this, but I think the acoustic is a lot more meaningful and sincere.

[studj85]

def agree way better

[xXxCloud25xXx]

@buttock123 of course it more meaningful

[khaosdemon2]

@buttock123 seeming how a bunch of people like it, you must not be wrong.

[AllezBenfica]

@buttock123 yeah completely agree. love the acoustic

[dontheninja27]

@buttock123 i agree the accoutic means more

[javiergarcia1986]

@buttock123 a lot more indeed

[legs615]

@buttock123

I totally agree. first time i heard it, was the acoustic version.....always my favorite of the two. :)

[legs615]

@buttock123 hands down...the best version, it will always be my favorite....

[kehau916]

@buttock123 faggot

[Robogabriel]

@buttock123 Yes and no. Yes, I do find it a bit more intimate, for for some reason, I can take the "plugged in" version a lot more seriously. No doubt this version is really emotional, but the other one has much more power.

[niceshotjones]

@buttock123 hands down!!! (pun intended)

[blindfire4christ]

I love this song. i love the acoustics of dashboard.

[cip530]

this is the best version for me!!

i love it

the best song ever

[CassidyCanFly]

I prefer this version over the original.

[ummitsevie]

This is the first version i heard nd i waaaaaaay prefer this one:)

[DestinyxFreak45]

the acoustic version is the original, its off the hands down EP, which was before A mark, a mission, a brand, a scar.

[sxoxo142]

i like both versions but the acoustic one is definitely better :)

[augusthour4]

i like the version with michael stype better

[JRDunassigned]

you got so many negatives cause these people dont know what the hell you're talking about. but i do, and i gave you a thumbs up.

[alysemarie9259]

this song is soo beautiful.its not corny or fruity or anything.its so real.and his lyrics are so meaningful and sweet.i love it.i jst want to cry when i hear cause its so cute.:) my favorite song. i love you nevada<3

btw.acoustic is wayy better in my opinion.

[Herzenbarecher]

Einfach genial! Ab 1:56 find ichs einfach nur noch unglaublich!

[Lun4rSoul]

hmm i like this version. but i think i like the original more. maybe because i heard the original first but that's ok, we all have a different taste in music :)

[0xYfried]

this is the original hands down. read the discogrpahy

[ShekshiToenail]

gosh, beautiful song -

[lackthenametosayit]

[AfterPractice]

.... And I'm speaking of this (acoustic) version!

SERIOUSLY ----- some of the best stuff of my 30 years worth --- EVER!

[SquishToGo]

Ohhh wait sorry I thought you'd written this acoustic version then overlayed it with the video!

[kylesarvey5]

it seems like it has more meaning to it.

i think this was the original version recorded on the demo.

[qllowe04]

Dashboard is technically only one guy.

[prettyboyXXIV]

he was, then he got a band, just like secondhand serenade, the spill canvas ect..

[headbang13]

y r there so few views

[kylexy333]

i don't know maybe the popularity of the song is wearing off? i think it's a a great song (especially this acoustic version) no matter how old it is...

[mvpballplayer]

I don't know why it would be wearing off, its a great song.

[avalon0000]

[dvs1717]
