Electric President - Ten Thousand Lines

[lorehal]

I don't give a shit whether a song is stolen from other bands or not. It seems that the others songs haven't presented themselves to me yet, so bas luck for them.

srrsly peeps, ever wondered how many songs are influenced by other songs. Lake Welcome Home from Metallica... grow up, all of you guys who pick fights on a youtube vid you are supposed to just enjoy the music.

[skiznarlett]

reminds me of spongebob :3

[SK8D3CKAT]

too bad he's gonna die of lung cancer...

[10tbain]

sharpening pencils is soooo mainstream.

[itoastyourpants]

all time fav !

[AlyssiaGreen]

def one of my faves, I love the video ;)

[wolfe9686969]

Ah...hate to burst all your fan boy bubbles, but the main riff in this track is stolen directly from a track called "India" done by a band called "Roxy Music" who released it...wait for it...in 1982! So new and revolutionary it is almost 30 years old! Well done though. If the credit had been given it would have been a good tribute.

[knoxrox167]

@wolfe9686969

eh i just listened to it and i dunno...the only thing they really have in common is that they hit the 3rd and the 5th of the scale once in a while....both melodies from both songs are certainly used a lot, though. that doesnt mean either song is any less good or legit!

[necromancer209]

@wolfe9686969 good stuff, wolfe! I think it's always cool to find out where bands got their influence from for certain songs. They pretty much sampled from that song, just as hip hop artists do, but still made it their own.

[TomVl0gs]

@wolfe9686969 well fuckin Roxy Music didnt make such a good song like this huh. faggot.

[wolfe9686969]

@TomVl0gs Merely saying that this is a sample of and older song. Intelligent comment you friggin ass felcher. Get a life and grown some brains. Friggin neanderthal. (Might need to get a dictionary to understand all that, but such is life for the uneducated and ill informed!)

[TomVl0gs]

@wolfe9686969 You said they "stole" it not sampled. Who's the uneducated fuck?

[DocCallihan]

Great job on the vid man. Mad props.

[AIM80Tpop]

I have to admit, I looked up the band when I heard this song on the commercial and fell in love with their music, they are amazing!

[BasedCamu]

Indie music is amazing.

[iFlute4life]

[jeralgrant]

Can't do a lot of writing with an unsharpened pencil...

[schwig44]

[TheMissturd]

Holy shit, when i lose all fate in proganda even, i hear this song on commercial of how important exercise is..mmmm

[LuxiHeartagram]

So, who is Luke Bergen?

[Hetubird]

Yep.

[vickdizzle82]

Great stuff...makes me glad I am not deaf! Toooo soon?

[vickdizzle82]

Great stuff...makes me glad to be high!

[whoadangsam]

[whoadangsam]

Beautiful <3

[MyTigerLilyMusic]

Love this band!

[Nieves57]

Cool

[EvanMylesS]

I think it'd be easier to write those lines with a pen with a point. :D

[artistcblasphemy]

This soo looks like michigan.. watching this was like seeing me in a "Day in the life.."

[FactoriSkateboards]

The pencil dosen't have a point lol

[profoundlypaige]

@Jninez Fall in love with Ben Cooper! Electric President's disbanded, but he's still rocking out with Radical Face :)

[silkypixel]

yup, love you guys. Please keep it up.

[mauriciojcf2]

keep it going this music is very good

[foxolita]

love it

[Omgeekness]

Who the hell is Luke Bergen?

[adrher1]

you made this vid?

[3mexico]

broken social scene is the shiznit!

[Omgeekness]

Who the hell is Luke Bergen?

[betterthanacid]

@Omgeekness who cares? he wears silly hats plays guitar and smokes on porches. that's good enough, isn't it?

[AnkeMachtEinVideo]

haha the pencil wasnt even sharpened ;)

[Dyrdyus1998]

muy weno

es la bombaaaa

[oneroide]

dude BrokenSocialScene!!!!!!!!! you should totally make one with the song "Safety Bricks" suuuch an amazing song!

[jasonkrahn]

I love you all! Your comments make me want to make another, better video to maybe... i dunno, broken social scene. Anybody into that shit?

[babydontblush]

@jasonkrahn yes please! 

[Ideeem]

@jasonkrahn Broken Social Scene rulz.

[Romanticidio]

@jasonkrahn you should try with "all to all"

[jasonkrahn]

@Romanticidio Not bad. Not bad at all.

[TheWasatch]

@jasonkrahn Hell yeah! Also KC Accidentals song "Tired Hands" Do that one! Please :D

[franchisepeat]

@jasonkrahn im fucking into that shit!

[furiousgeorge57]

@jasonkrahn 7/4 shoreline. do it.

[31makimba]

@jasonkrahn I'm definitely a fan, but I don't think they're consistently great. However, Stars and Sons is a perfect song and Almost Crimes isn't one to spit at either....They both give me shivers!! But hey man, it's your video, ya know? Do whatever you want and fuck what everybody else thinks!!! Take it easy!

[babydontblush]

I love the parts when it's like "Yup." and "God damnit." Makes me smile everytime :p

[username4youutube]

lawl couldnt agree more

[SuperPinkCamel]

@babydontblush me too :3

[babydontblush]

@SuperPinkCamel huzzah :)

[Katemonster90]

[willable11]

[zBrush01]

[twodaydude]

[destromance]

That's what I thought too.

I've been knowing them since Insomnia played on The OC..

Now I discovered new songs from them and I am absolutely in love with them. They're music is just amazing.

[jordanKrahn]

Well done Krahn, well done.
