Ben Gibbard - Brand New Colony

[TheSomnambule]

Does anyone know the tab for this? This is beautiful!

[hippiegirlsmile]

this is so beautiful. I want to cry. Music still exists.

[doubleapunkupine]

THIS is real music, Ke$ha!

[JaimeEskobar]

glad that people can debate like grownups here, and you all probably are....ben gibbard didnt make this song with this arrangement, but as all musicians do they inspire each other, and now when everybody is arrangeing their song obadiah style it will work for everbody. for you hipster fucks out there, stop being so sensitive, stop acting like 14year old tools.

[aubrey1107]

JaimeEskobar, dont post a comment unless you have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. THIS is Ben Gibbard's song. HIS lyrics. HIS creativity. You should never compare an artist who was writing and singing his own thoughts, to a Zach Galifinakis look-alike who's claim to fame was knowing how to play a guitar, and copying another groups lyrics. "HEY YA" is a great song. But not his song, therefore im not fully impressed.

[dannystrongstrong]

lol at the end, "hello"

[waya7111]

Dear Ben Gibbard,

I just wanted to let you know that your voice sings me to sleep almost every night.

Thank you so much for that.

(:

[JaimeEskobar]

why is everyone inlove with this ? sure its a great cover but he only ripped of obadiah parker's hey ya cover.

[Masaowolf]

@JaimeEskobar Uhmm, how exactly? This is his song, just acoustic.

[loserfur]

@JaimeEskobar use the brain, retard. it's located between the ears.

[devenlyon]

this is hands down my favorite love song

[ryodhino]

HE'S MARRIED TO ZOEY DESCHANEL !!.. wowowow.

[MistaJubbJubb]

Who the eff disliked this? Do you not have a soul? Honestly...

[AjaxP4nz3d]

so much amazing passion he sings with.... amazing

[vsadlarry]

5 idiots are obviously retarded :/

[Oheldi]

Gods, why are there not more men like this in the world? Or maybe there are but you have to be as beautiful and amazing as Zoey Deschanel to get them, lol =p

[BreakITdownDj]

I can't turn this up loud enough. The P.S. changed my childhood.

[Jackass14260]

does anyone else think he looks a little bit like rainn wilson or i am alone in this?

[supertaj1800]

@Jackass14260 I saw that too, its Dwight Schrute haha

[Southparknscrubs]

The ONLY good excuse for not liking this man is because he's not working with Dntel for the Postal Service anymore. The Postal Service is "the sex" to my ears.

[BethanyBetty]

I don't know what it is about me with guys that wear glasses..... (:

Just mmmmm.

[JessywithanS]

If I had a boyfriend half as romantic as Ben Gibbard, I would die of happiness.

[DeathCabDriverx]

what i would give to be him lol =)

[geekcody]

single best song writer and has a fucking amazing voice

[cannibalcorpseowns]

no dude THE SHIT is better come on now. its THE SHIT. the sex... eh BEN IS THE SHIT to me

[subject2017]

Everything will change.

[AnKfeLoveOshareK]

pure poetry

[Warisover100]

This is MUSIC....

[postal0service]

Mhm, still gives me goose bumps. I saw DCFC in Copenhagen like three years ago. Wonderful!

[LukeKellylives]

And it's funny how everyone thought it was gonna be I'll Follow You Into The Dark and was like wtf when it wasn't,

[UselessInfo101]

lol iknowrite

[LukeKellylives]

This was on my birthday. :D

[muzikscud23]

Ben Gibbard or Dallas Gren =O haha I'd have to say Dallas Green but it is such a hard choice... Love them both.

[GGP1292]

god i wish i could write like him, im working on an acoustic song right now for a girl and i cant get it as perfect as i wish

[imjkyounoob]

Write about that then, how she's so amazing that you can't even find the words to express how much you love her! :D

[100c100]

@GGP1292 i know man its very difficult, just give it time

[killerorange39]

ben gibbard is great "I will follow you into the dark" is one of his other songs listen to it EVERYONE

[nino0057]

lol really? never heard it

[ExErebus]

does he sing that fireflies song?

[dumbdrummer401]

@ExErebus No.... He's far better.

[ExErebus]

It was a joke.

[f2theorrest]

sorry that is owl shitty (city)

and the singer is adam young

this here is ben gibbard and his band was postal service now he is in death cab for cutie

[captainchaos90]

Thats funny because the first time I heard Fireflies I thought it was new Postal Service. Turned out to be a Postal Service rip off.

[DaBomb3434]

is this a hard song to learn

[lightwolf345]

If you learned I will follow you into the dark, then it shouldn't hard at all. Looks like capo 5. G - Dsus2 - Em - C - Cadd9

[MyEverConstantSmile]

Instead of Cadd9, I think its just Am.

[lightwolf345]

Yeah it's C-Am in the intro, but in the verse it's just C. no 9.

[amazinglygeneric]

it might be just me, but there's something that sounds like the falsetto background vocals in the beginning

[OrionxRiot]

little does zooey deschanel know

ben and I are already married.

so.. uh, yeah. sorry zooey.

(:

[georgeSHee]

ugh, and luckily for you, zooey and i are married so it all evens out :)

[ExErebus]

Wait a second...I'm married to Zooey too!

[blatantproof2]

"Everything will change."

That part gives me the chills when he sings it.

[milanerose]

as soon as i read your comment i got the chills too i love this song

[BigBrightBlueBox]

Maybe you guys could put on a coat? just saying. :-)

[aaddelinee]

oh gosh..i love your voice

[ohhhthemusic]

So beautiful.

[iluvrrsnowflake]

Marry me Ben?

[ccatie456]

sorry me and ben are madly in love :)

he just doesnt know it yet lol

[Curatalo506]

Ben Gibbard is amazing.

but the drummer and sound effects are a necesity!

[tyedye9]

@Curatalo506 It's actually all simulated sounds from a synthesizer.

[binmonroe]

sexy

[willable11]

this is really good and ben is good live but this song should not be done without a drummer it sounds like something is missing.

[persona0bella]

I learnt how to play this song just like this for a boy that loves the postal service too =) he gets to hear it soon

[AntiCitizenOne1]

god he's so awesome

[HJsMusicNotes]

this is perfect, i swear

[Hardcore2898433]

i can do this song perfect, but i just like... idk my voice is a little too deep, idk, ill post a vid maby

[ccatie456]

ben gibbard(proper noun)definition; amazing singer with pure raw talent

[vernmalau]

i always thought he plays only gibson j-45's

[BrianOMalleyMusic]

i believe it's a harmony sovereign

[esjakeis86]

<3333

[sandrokman]

@Neweddy24

Ben Gibbard is the sex. not even the shit, THE SEX. thats like 690000000x better than being the shit.

[MyNameTasha]

why can't I be zooey...

[dfprichie]

no, he's not gay. But he his fabulous :-p

[kissingviera]

he was on LOGO, the "gay" channel.

in all seriousness is he gay?

[exheartoh08]

he's engaged to Zoey Deschanel...

[dillerthekiller86]

@exheartoh08

Holy fucking shit... Can any one man be more lucky? Fame; fortune; hottest hotness? Gotta love Ben Gibbard.

[checkerdshoes21]

@exheartoh08 And you understand why!

[exheartoh08]

@checkerdshoes21 haha exactly <33

[6boswelll]

i really like ben gibbard

[lisafrigginchristine]

love it.

[doggieinyamouf]

you DO realize that this guy is 1/2 of the postal service right? ..........you should probably do a little research before criticizing....

[bigmeatMARCO]

hahahahahahahahahahaaaaahaaaha­h lol

[usedwater]

u need to worry more about not making yourself look dumb. i mean forrealz u fail so hard.

[ThreeCheersForKaylee]

Don't call yourself a fan of any band if you don't know who makes up the band. Seriously, you're just embarrassing yourself.

But thanks for the chuckle.

[rey5000]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH u wrote that a week ago, but i still want to remind u how retarded you are

[bonesquadgsyk]

^

|

That shit was hilarious.

[timendo215]

or rather musician..not band

[cspring08]

nah dude it was a musical collaboration b/n ben gibbard and jimmy tomborello

[timendo215]

I don't get it, I love the PS but everytime I get into that music discussion, I ask and NOONE knows who the hell they are...srsly wtf.. good ass band

[TempleWolfe]

Oh god, I just want the audio!

[slowthetrain]

look up NPR music podcasts...there's an entire ben gibbard solo show for free download with this live on it :)

[182nolan]

best postal service song!!!

[sizers]

Sleeping in is my fav. This song is still good tho

[182nolan]

yeah thats probably my second haha. its so hard to decide. they're all soooooo good!! haha

[Andureth]

this guy is like an indie LEGEND! he is an awesome singer, i liked like to say, i wish i could sing like him, i hope to meet him someday i want to be at one of his concerts preferibly Postal Service but hey you know, if i could see him once at a concert i'd consider it and honor

[peskasker]

Can someone tell me the second chord progression he uses in this video? Thanks

[towelsRfun]

oh fuck. I will never get over how amazing this song is. NEVER

[peskasker]

agreed. his use of imagery and metaphors is just awe-some.

[elishamackenzie]

this is song is simply brilliant:)

[bdaltjack]

amazing

[jay64stang]

He's very Brian Wilson... Think about it.

[auitane]

Less of a crazy person than Brian Wislon.

[elijahdomingo]

wow

[uroverrated69]

I think the josh kid is somewhat right, and I'm a Ben Gibbard fan, it's just a light hearted comment. Just because you idolize someone doesn't mean you have to take every insult to them as a personal attack! people need to chill. "his mother's basement" coudln't have said it better.

[SalzburgTigers]

goosebumps the last minute...

[Garytheuckingbunny]

One of the best songs ever.

Holy dang!

[sallygirlzz]

you are retarded

[joshmcconnell654]

ah u know its true

[gutchv]

Well you will never too with a vision like that lawl.

[willywonka091]

first off, life isn't about getting laid, asshole. this video has nothing to do with getting laid. secondly, ben gibbard is cool as fuck and a great guy. thirdly, leave.

[joshmcconnell654]

first life is about getting laid.. if it wasn't for people getting laid we wouldn't be here second i said nothing about the dude not being cool or a great guy. third i'd probably beat your ass. fourth i will leave

[willywonka091]

hahahah what an immature kid. who tells someone they could beat their ass completely unprovoked on youtube. grow up. seriously.

[socko102]

lol why does everyone take things so seriously? Who cares what some guy on youtube thinks, he has the right to his own opinion just like everyone else does. Personally, I agee with him, life is about getting laid and Ben Gibbard looks like he lives in his mother's basement

[madisonlarsen]

Ben Gibbard is fucking hot! because he's so talented. but dont feel bad atleast you have your witty youtube comments going for you... dumb ass

[socko102]

Aw your a meanie, you need some dick. Maybe Ben Gibbard can slather his hot talent all over your face.

[skullfacexx]

all of you are retards, grow up, ignorant shits.

[madisonlarsen]

it would be in my mouth not all over my face.

[bs4e]

His voice is perfect. Just amazing!

[LavaGuiTar]

The Best SONGG !!!!!!!

[bpia14]

i actually heard they were working on new shit.. i could be wrong.

[angelbaby300]

this song is so beutiful it makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.

[jumpanama]

This is the most beauriful song I've ever heard

[clisk126]

such a great song!!!

[turtledude888]

Benjamin Gibbard is a genius.

[dave19804]

Nuff said!

[AbrairaProductions]

whens the new cd for them?

[atkinsm8792]

Do you mean the postal service? If so Ben said they were unlikely to release another album "before the end of the decade".

[stopid]

I know! That SUCKS!

[angelbaby300]

<3 i am in love

rock on ben ;)

[boose]

fuck yeah i love this song

[hahagabhuhu]

Ben Gibbard is awesome

[someslumbering]

so good

[iltdg]

hes amazing .

i love this song .

[sourwhiterose99]

For real. My hero.

[Kamatzu]

This man here.

This man is a genius.

[macdopogi]

nice very very! 5*****

[anonymousgoerge]

ben gibbard. same as death cab

[musicobscura]

That's what I thought! Then why did that person say they sound similar, but didn't get the connection? So I was simply confused. Thanks!

[imdkingg]

i think everyone thinks hes playing "I will follow you into the dark" in the beginning, because the first chord is the same. haha, i just found that kind of funny.

[imdkingg]

well the chords not exactly the same but similar, and his strumming pattern is the same as i will follow you into the dark

[hotbins]

Just the strumming pattern is the same. The first chord of I will follow you is Am, this is a G.

[ncsbear]

Actually, technically it would be more like a C, if he hasn't changed his tuning.

[StrikeForceWI]

what a great cover of the postal service, he sounds just like him

[Arcual]

lolz

[rs2mangadude]

hahahaha.

made my night.

[hellolacey123]

hahhahahahahahahahhhahahahhaha­hahaha

lolz.

[philamato]

ahahahaha

[Sparkygravity]

chuckle chuckle

[captainperkski]

he is him thats why he sounds like him

[SouperSaiyan]

Its almost impossible to write a new chord progression these days. Lyrics are everything with this man and his band(s).

Ben Gibbard is a genious.

[LEUNlT]

Genius. Other than that, I agree.

[bigmeatMARCO]

haha

[Shatonmedeek]

Johann Pachelbel wrote that chord progression 200 years ago. so he isn't a brilliant musician. but he is an amazing lyricist.

[yahpooo]

is his picking style original though?

its so fun playing like that.

[rosswb]

what chord progression hasn't been written? or used?

he may have written it; but he didn't write this song.

[ItsChema]

This ISN'T a Pachelbel Cannon progression. (Gibbard doesn't go to the iii, Em chord, from the vi, Am chord.)

Gibbard's melodies and hooks are up there with his lyrics. and his chord progressions are tasteful.

yeah it's not a Brian Wilson progression, but this song works electronic/full band, and acoustic. that's saying something!

[ItsChema]

this isnt a pachelbel cannon. that's a different progression hombre.

[anonymousgoerge]

bethoven wrote starway to heavan too. who cares, if they havent heard it its new to them and its the recreation that makes them a good musicician. and he is a briliant lyricist.

[MajestySnowbird]

Well put.

[Mezito910]

that was awesome....i wonder when postal service is coming out with a new video?

[andrewtate]

Easily one of the best musicians of my shitty generation. Great music. I like his cover of They Don't Know.

[sassysimpson]

i've seen dcfc 3 times, but i missed ben gibbard live..wahh.

[Djfatfoo]

then so r u :-D

[uborrowmycar]

I know seriously i like the glasses,theyre pretty cool.

[stopid]

He's had the same glasses since forever. I doubt he has yearly visits to the eye doctor.

[dampungen]

Ben is indeed the most talented musician i the world. Will never forget the time I saw death cab. All hail Gibbard!!

[ToranasaurusRex182]

WERD.

[dokimune132]

my favorite!!!!

[theonefreeman12]

ben gibbard = hero

[sierra121492]

awesome =]]

[jedimasteronearth]

i love ben

[MustLovePoop]

The thick-framed glasses are a nice touch to copmlete the New York City-Fag look.

[vanessam99]

that was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo amazing! great posting!!! one of the best! quite possibly the most talented musician i the world!!

[VoidAndWhiteNoise]

I LOVE this.

ben is my boyfriend i love him this show was flippin sweet totally about me
