Ben Kweller Sundress Acoustic Performance Hotel Le General Paris France

[itsCONTROVERSY]

I love that riff.

[gailburnette]

you're so folksy :)

[om3ga123]

Don't know if he messed up or that's the way it is but in the second verse he plays the first pass as D-A-Bm-G and then plays the rest of the verse as D-A-Em-G which sounds a lot closer to the intro and a lot better and how I thought it was meant to be played. lol

[moosghafal6262]

i wish i had his voice, i would totally sing to my ex to get her back lol, this dude is awesome

[benkwellerdotcom]

well, i was about 26 there, but who's counting?  :)

bk

[mccloud524]

Thats some good stringing and singing. Nice job dude! I can't believe you're 30 but kinda look like a teen. No harm no foul :)

[thenextR9]

i'm watching this from jail. Why am i in jail? I killed 3 people who disliked this video!!!

[xxLoveMeDeadxxx]

My heart just dropped.

[sadaleine82]

saw him in concert last night. it was so amazing!! he sounds even better live!! unlike most people. he has true talent. his songs seem random and weird at first but they really are meaningful and so sweet!!

[SuperSparkyMark1]

This guy is awesome!!!

[thenextR9]

@SuperSparkyMark1 I AGREE WITH U

[WalksIn2Trees]

and key of "D" I believe

[benkwellerdotcom]

its just standard tuning. 440 pitch.

[steelwall1]

What tunning is the song in my friend?

[tamthemonster]

This is an AMAZING performance!

But comparing him to Bob Dylan, that's not right.

What was amazing about Dylan is that he had so much emotion, and he broke the barriers of music. He wasnt the best singer, but with his lyrics and the way he sung every word just blows me away.

Ben on the other hand, is a amazing singer, voice doesn't crack, is very talented and has a good career ahead of him.

They are both good at what they do, stop hating on them.

[texboy444]

get your ass to vegas ben

[texboy444]

incredable!!!!!!!!!!1

[JustinTheTapper]

love his music

[GypsyDValerie]

MOI AUSSI JE T'AIME ! ahah this video is realy awesome ♥

[pokeaudio]

real constructive gothicninja. Kweller is great he has some really great interviews. The guy knows his music and is generally a down to earth guy, which everyone knows is a rare thing in the music industry.

[XGothicNinjaX]

His hat is gay......I like the song though....Not the singer....

[Bmelon7]

beautiful....~♥~

[Secretkiisess]

YOUR THE BEST....<3 I COULD NOT FORGET ABOUT U

BEN come to TORONTO...<3 <3 <3 <3

[JoeCoquelouche]

Ben Kweller IS MA DUDE. completely unique & talented...he definitely got it right

[TiTi12055]

JE TAIME !

[andyg2smooth]

Ben Kweller can sing WAY better than Bob Dylan.

[longdecember99]

@andyg2smooth Bob Dylan is an Amazing siger.. Ben is a pretty good singer as well "even though he looks like 13" But comparing the two is crazy!

[aboutamillion]

one word. FAKE BOB DYLAN.

[bazookajustin]

First off, that's three words. And I've got three more: DYLAN IS GARBAGE.

[KamFrye]

hahahaha that was awesome! its funny i listen to death metal mostly but kweller is god!

[AbigailDay]

And which part of Dylan is garbage?

[AbigailDay]

Which part of Kweller is a fake Dylan? Perhaps he's adapted a sliver of Dylan's style. But does that make him a "Fake Bob Dylan?" I think not. Most music piggybacks off music that came before it, does it not? Well perhaps Dylan is Kweller's piggyback, his inspiration. Don't hate on his acoustic sound.

[rguillory58]

one word. SWEET

[aUsTrIaDeLuXe]

i heard this song on the radio and i thought i heard it in an ad or something lik that... was this song used in any commercials?

[hilo10001]

Cutie!

I love the way the sound sneaks up on you and fills the whole scene by the end.

[michandre21]

Beautiful song. There's something about that slide-up chord that follows 01:41 that I can't get enough of.

[grapejuice4291]

wow, that was great.!

i also play and sing, so if you have some time, you should check out my stuff =] it would be greatly appreciated!

-Alexis<3

[Anoushkaaa]

I'm french and I can say that's right ;)

Love this acoustic ! <3

[JitskeNL]

goosebumps

[dearxbeth]

ben kweller, you make me smile

[jonjon1600]

how?? can not like this stuff!!! he is as good as it gits BK your the best!

[TheShortElvis]

He's a good bass fisher too by all accounts.

[Crueak]

he said somewhere that its like, all he did as a kid

[mboiloh00]

you conjugated jouer wrong. "Ben Kweller 'joues' Sundress acoustique"

[himynameisvincent]

No, it's 100% correct. Ben Kweller jouant "Sundress" = Ben Kweller playing "Sundress".

[rafaelmadferit]

Hahaha, quite funny : a british trying to give french lessons to a french man...

[Gazemottle]

@rafaelmadferit Briton.

[DetachWhileYouCan]

Il est magnifique. Je l'aime.

Merci beaucoup!

[swimmergurrl113]

first song i ever heard from him and i've loved him ever since. <3

[poneycascade]

I like your sundress too Mister KWELLER !!

wonderful song...beaucoup mieux en acoustic, isn't it?

[sajgracer1]

I hope this kid is as down to earth as he seems, I can't get enough of his music

[hahnjord]

He definitly is, I had the chance to meet after a show about 6 months ago. He was so humble and gracious about every compliment.

[jimmerlynn89]

my god. that voice.

[MsReturnoftheJedi]

@jimmerlynn89

my heart melts everytime i hear it... love me some ben! :D

[caseyeleet]

[weirdal56206]

[FabmanFWE]

[xmouthlikeamagazinex]

[mashroxoutloud]

[fergyloverslover]

JK

[r0ckstarkit]

heu...i am french and i loveee your great music!!

[shanicles]

excellent job

[faintygirl]

What a fantastic clip...there are so many pretentious musicians out there and BK certainly isn't one of them! What a genuine and heartfelt song. Loved it. :)

[manjabe]

i can´t stop to listen your great music

[JohnDoe32928]

what are the chords to this song?

it looks like D, something, and a Bm maybe...

help would be appreciated

[eliyates2]

well the chorus is just a mix of D A Bm G and the verse riff or intro or whatever tabbed out like EADG would be picked out... E-x A-5 D-4 G-0 the next line is E-x A-0 D-4 G-0 next is E-0 A-x D-4 G-0 next is E-3 A-x D-4 G-0

[weezer015]

i love your music!!

greetings from Chile, South america!!!

[deannaxbanana]

<3333

[alicatali]

lovely.

[rubieshankles]

Beautiful, beautiful song. Never stop making music - you are one of a kind in this world of noise:)

[maireadre]

You are just amazing. This is absolutly great!

[fabhomer]

i so would like to see him live!! please come back quick to france!!

[crazyone]

You are amazing, really. I enjoy every little thing you do.

And in concert your just wow, took my breath away.

And Im glad I got to meet you =)

[addmelolz]

This is awesome.

[DaveyShambles]

This is just delightful.

[vand0576]

I am glad to know and see that Ben is using youtube for these performances. No glossy production needed, just Ben, guitar, hat, and flannel. So much more accessible that crap on TV like "storytellers" or "music in high places". The aformentioned programs and the like offer no kind of intimacy as this does. Nice job Ben.
