Jose Gonzalez - Cycling Trivialities

[IsrraPotter]

Me encanta, desde que lo escuché por primera vez me cautivó. Se ve a leguas las influencias latinoamericanas en su música y en su voz, a pesar de haber nacido y vivido en Suecia, en cierta forma me recuerda a Silvio Rodriguez. Es muy bueno en lo que hace y se ve que es muy simple en su forma de ser, nada complicado, muy honesto, transmite mucho en lo que hace. Ojalá todos los músicos latinoamericanos fuesen como él.

I'm the ass hole who disliked this video. It was honestly an accident...

[Melancholyjil]

Lo conocí a José hace 3 años y me encanta. Amor a primera "vista".

Ojalá algún día venga por Chile...

[Tarafied1111]

i could kiss you on the mouth

[mikebtko]

damn, that's good stuff! Jose is genius!

[seamouse007]

those harmonies are lovely at the end. better than the recording, even.

[Spinywolf]

Dubai wants you!

[zSP3NC3z]

lol... 1 dislike. fucking 1% always being little bitches

[FeederForLife]

@zSP3NC3z actually it's more like 0.001 percent, pretty much everyone seems to enjoy this song :)

[derbsteratzenfaktor]

the new and better cat stevens

[joseg1814]

Nunca loavia oido cantamuybien

[CyclingTrivialities]

this guy never even looks fazed, in any interview or performence ive ever seen. a natural born performer, even in front of a shitload of rich assholes. no pretention.

[TheReactionChannel]

@CyclingTrivialities He almost seems detached from the world, Like a vessel for pure energy. He reminds me a lot of the early Neil young in that regard.

[mikiverevikim]

Yukimi looks amazing here

[PvdBMr]

The official video is a heartwrecking piece of master brilliance.... and so is the artist.

Everyone should see Jose live at least once in their lives, it's emotional, it's beautiful and it is something to not forget!

Lovely!

[DeadlyHairdryer]

He's great live!

[megaBoyFjortis]

1 dislike.. . (OMG)

[vagspelunkin]

this is just an amazing video , I've watched this one @ least a couple dozen times . Jose is truly a gifted musician .

[megamanthehitman]

he looks like zack de la rocha

[ForeverLovinYah]

i'm proud being from sweden just because i know we have such an great artist

[sbuassali]

I am wondering how bad is eating in a luxury place like this a very fine food in a beautiful place like that and then listening this music and seeing all these scenes ...  .....

[danielwish4]

Excelente! muy buena cancion!! :D

[andyy79]

indeed :D

[InfrasonicBeats]

Awesome

[MatthewHeywood1]

what is the piano like instrument?

[bshann]

@MatthewHeywood1 ditto.. cool lofi organ sound - anyone know what it is?

[opiiatee]

@MatthewHeywood1 It's definitely some type of Synthesizer. can't see the brand tho lol

[condw93]

@MatthewHeywood1

I think it is a Moog... maybe...

[Zeeb7v]

I think the blonde woman at the end shouldof been clapping a little better than that! That was an amazing performance.

[BigMeatyClawss]

Obviously my love for Jose Gonzalez is already said by the many comments.

So I am going to say that, I thought what was cool was the bass of the song is played on an empty guitar box :p.

[IFailedMath]

its amazing he writes the songs himself, composes the melodies and combine them to make MAGICCC!!!!! singing while playing like that should be hard (: i dont think he's as famous as he should be. he deserves more credit.

[jelka29]

wow!!! :)

[thatsnotagoat]

i only just discovered jose gonzalez throught a friend... i know i've been living under a rock.. what a stupid rock.... this guy .. his songs reflect life so pefectly.. :)

[tenochtitlan51582]

@TheLinkMedic You had to mention it didn't you Dammit!

[MrHighdrifter1]

@danielinsporto - That's Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon u douche lol

[danielinsporto]

@MrHighdrifter1 um i obviously didnt mean Yukimi, im talking about the girl with the red hair clapping at the end of the video

[loknloll]

@MrHighdrifter1 it's neccessary to call someone a douche, unsolicited?

[surfcrazymonkey1]

wow 57 000 views and 0 dislikes.

says something about this song...

[RafaPiloni]

My concept of perfection has this song as its theme.

[baguru10000]

fuck this guy is amazing, could bring the hardest man to tears

[danielinsporto]

the girl from paramore at the end.

i mean, fine, shes a cute girl. but she's an utter moron who's music is overrated.

while jose is the "quiet hero".

[PatrickScaggs]

@danielinsporto I don't think that was her...?

[danielinsporto]

@PatrickScaggs i think you're probably right.. since this was an awards show, and the girl looks like the paramore chick, i assumed it was her, but now i see that it clearly was a Swedish awards show and i cant think of a single reason why Paramore would be invited to a awards show in Sweden.

i stand corrected!

[LewisF02]

@danielinsporto and its also not her

[karapus7]

awesome performance!!!! 

[kissoffaith1]

Jose is like da Vinci, presenting one of his masterpieces.

[thepoozer]

what a brilliant guitarist

[amaaa315]

do u know if what chords his fingering represent for the tuning he use? or is there no chords

[tusiamary]

is there Yukimi from Little Dragon singin with Jose?

[Polyfusia]

The ho's clapping at the end are the antithesis of Jose Gonzalez. They'd be standing up cheering if it was the Pussycat Dolls.

[MonZe66]

ii really love this song!!!!!!! <3

[heavydutydudes]

thanks for this .....

[mcveagh78]

amaze



[JoshuaBallarat]

[AlesResta]

Perfeito.

[ModeONvalencia]

impresionante

[cintialie]

I´m deeply touched with this wonderful song... the scenes are very hard to see... all that kids suffering...it broke my heart...but it has to be said!

[Zepster77]

@cintialie You haven't seen too much suffering in your life, it seems.

[iv4nddd]

this song touch something in you....

[aerobique]

ITS THE PEOPLE

[theK0OKS]

<3

I love this song, it's so relaxing

[acrobaticaromatic]

@theK0OKS really? for me it's the opposite of relaxing. I get so worked up and excited and inspired i just about break a sweat. And all i'm doing is sitting listening to a song. The power of music can never be underestimated.

[HendrikW85]

awsome!!! just shows us how meaningless our life is.............love this song

[DejjvidGUITAR]

Goosebumps!! Superb!

[Grilo9]

Just amazing..

[chaoabordo]

Epic song!, Is that the singer out of little dragon on backing vocals?

[daredevildmb]

[CyclingTrivialities]

[myusernameisbest]

Who are the woman and man with him?

[Crazzybaby]

They're from a swedish band called Little dragon sorry dont know their specific names, good band

[ashsoadfan]

Did they tour everywhere with Jose in 08'?

I remember seeing them in London when I saw him.

[LURINGGG]

isnt that his girlfriend? i think so

[gdyby]

Yes, she is. Her name is Yukimi Nagano. She is great jazz vocalist too.

[escarabajodeagua]

so talented and very cute and sexy , i love this song and i think i get the point of the lyrics but man, the video is too much for me so sad images there

[achillbrain]

Long reign the quiet hero.
