  • this song is epic and epic stands for epic purportion in constipation

  • Listen to this 24/7 , never gets old!

  • I also think this is about a guy, almost sounds like a friend who was more like a kid brother, who got in trouble.

  • what is this song about?

  • holy shit I love this song

  • sydneeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy

  • my cousin is in love this ginger and i can see why

    his music is kinda nice.

  • i'm Sydney! :)

  • runnin

  • I'm a Sydni!!!

  • Hey spelt Cydney wrong(;

  • 16 people are inconsolably sad.

  • Risk! podcast brought me here :)

  • It's about me!!!!! Ya!!!!!¡¡¡¡

  • Best song ever!. <3

  • And meeeeeeee

  • THIS SONG IS ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • -3

  • this song sums up my taste in music entirely.

  • Thumbs up if you are here because of some looney guy named Bobby B. from Warren.

  • I think that Sydney could be a boy or a girl. No indication is given either way. The only pointers are 1.) Sydney is spelled with a “Y” which is the common way to spell the feminine form of Sydney. But this really proves nothing, and 2.) The line where he states that Sydney “Told me I was looking at a dead man” This too proves nothing because the phrase is so common that it doesn’t point one way or the other.

    It's still an awesome song whether you choose to think of Sydney as a boy or a girl.

  • Brett, you've always been cool.

  • :( Brett I feel unhappy can you come running please?

  • Lovely

  • you dont need me you need god????????

  • Dislike bar....hmmmm

  • I think this song is actually about a guy

  • @HawksPensgirl Well, yeah.  A guy named Sydney. Is that a bad thing? I know it messes with some people's immediate interpretations, but I think we could use fewer love songs and more awesome-friends-who've-got-you­r-back songs.

  • @AeolianSeventh Totally agree. Plus!! This makes it's easier for girls to sing without changing the name :)

  • @AeolianSeventh No I totally agree...Just when I was reading the comments it seemed like a lot of people thought the song was about a girl

  • @AeolianSeventh P.S my boyfriend's name is Sidney lol

  • Finally, a song with my name in it. :)

    

  • this song is as timeless as his face

  • A boy sang this to me (my names Sydney) and i cried tears of pure happiness :'D

  • @musicjunky713 homigawd. pure jealousy :)

  • Looks to me that Brett scored himself a few Sydney girlfriends. WOoT woOt! Go Sydneys!

  • This song is so good

  • Hanging out with my then girlfriend at Barnes and Noble when this song came on. And from then on this has been our song. I'll always love you Syd.

  • I haven't enjoyed a new artist like I do this guy in many years

    

  • THIS IS SHIT YOU TWATS...OUT

  • Wow!!! I last listened to this when it had 1000 views. Glad people are enjoying him! :)

  • Brett Dennen is actually the brother of my biology teacher from last year. im from petaluma california and his sister is a Biology teacher at casa grande highschool. i just didnt believe it untill now, a lot of people hate on her for looking up to him but i enjoy this music unlike most teens at my school. GO BRETT DENNEN AND MS. DENNEN MY OLD TEACHER!!

  • @thatonekid696969 Yeah, well that's because they're a bunch of texting teens with their... um... Beyonce and... Human League. Good for you to know timeless music.

  • @wyglop haha Human League

  • @thatonekid696969 So your old teacher grow up in Oakdale Ca...I went to high school with him. Class of "97" OHS..He was a nice guy in school.

  • @thatonekid696969 Thats frikken neat Biology would be my fav subject

  • He reminds me of buddy Holly!

  • my name is sydney :D

  • hahah we were in dance today and all my friends started laughin cuz my name is sydney. and of course were playi this song all the time

  • love love this song!!!

    

  • Is he referring to the city or to a girl!!??

  • @franciscopuyol a boy.

  • @ekacharya A boy dog. In the city.

  • @OpheliaImmortal umm no

  • @ekacharya a hotdog in the city.

  • @OpheliaImmortal that's more like it

  • @ekacharya Nice.

  • @franciscopuyol he's referring to a friend that called him while he was touring in Australia, so i guess that explains the Sydney part. I doubt that was their actual name

  • ohhh sydney!!!!!!!!!! lmto

  • summer music. love it.

  • So happy that there are so many positive comments here :D

  • I'll come running, anytime, from anywhere... and if that makes me desperate, I don't give a crap. :)

  • AMAZING, love it muchísimo... Gracias Brett.

  • thumbs up if...

    Rap is terrible. hip hop is OK. pop is good. country is great. Brett Dennen is SPECTACULAR!!!

  • @savasoul1999 people have opinions. I dont like rap either, but that doesnt mean its terrible

  • @bloodclots99 your right. I was just sharing MY opinion

  • @savasoul1999 Don't share unless people ask if you like Rap or not.

  • @bloodclots99 You're telling them not to share their opinion unless someone asks, and yet you can force your opinion on anyone whenever you wish?

  • @sunnyydelight18 You are very hostile, and no I was correcting your ignorance against another form of music.

  • @bloodclots99 For one, I'm not being hostile. If I was hostile, I would say something such as "you fucking bitch you don't know shit about anything so keep the hell out of other people's business". But I'm not hostile, I'm just trying to make a point.

    And second, I didn't even post the original comment.

  • @sunnyydelight18 Ah, just noticed that, well whatever who cares. Don't want to argue about stupid stuff.

  • @savasoul1999 Good rap is good (aka tribe called quest, tyler the creator, other stuff), hip hop ehh, pop SUCKS it's all the same, country is great

  • Thank you Sirius XM The Spectrum for introducing me to great stuff like this.

  • @upsmanftw  I never listen to the Spectrum. Except when my dad does. I heard this and was like, "WOW! The Spectrum does have some good songs!" My dad had a bunch of his songs on his iPod so I got them too! I LOVE this guy!

  • @upsmanftw That's one of the only stations I listen to! :D That and Alt Nation.

  • @sunnyydelight18 I listen to this, Alt Nation, Lithium, and Classic Vinyl with my dad. Satalitte radio is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

  • @upsmanftw Lithium is a bit to metal for my taste, but I sometimes listen to Classic Vinyl. It's saved into one of the slots, anyway.

  • Thumbs up if your here because your name is Sydney.:D

  • SCREW TWITTER I HEARD THIS BECAUSE OF MY GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC!

  • Yeah, who cares about the majority? This is my summer song of the year definitely.

  • My choice for TBTL's song of the summer.

  • no, not the kinda music that's IN right now. And I'm not the kinda girl who only likes what's in. Honestly, I love pop. But I love this a billion times more. REALLY catchy! Nice job Bret! Luv ya!

  • He has a lot of sydneys to run to. O_o

  • whoa, you are very very talented. Suberb lyrics music great. Oringnal. Something we lack today in a cookie cutter "celebrity obsessed word"

  • It just makes me smile :)

  • His best song. Period.

  • I wish there was a "repeat"-button on facebook.. hearing it over and over again..

  • Im a sydney! me gusta

  • Grr! So many Sydneys, I am also a Sydney. This song certainly makes me happy to be a Sydney though.

  • @newbie0821 Same! :D

  • 98.1 the River, anyone? Come to Asheville NC Brett!

  • @hoogerstick He seems like the type to play at the Orange Peel.....

  • @olphinday Great show this year at the Peel. I hope he comes back soon.
