[mehdzid22]

[teetearose]

[teetearose]

speechless even after again and again and again listening to this song

[Smilers2311]

found this song on tap tap revenge and i love it,, it's not really my style but i don't care

[Shatfie3]

anyone know what the different images mean on his guitar? seems like every video theres a different picture

[gotfilm999]

@Shatfie3 Brett uses several guitars and he does the art work himself. They represent causes he supports.

[cardonajames]

[mrpicky510]

[cutebuttzlolz]

if ben gibbard had the ability to suck out souls.

[1985masterplan]

ONLY A GINGER CAN CALL ANOTHER GINGER GINGER!!!!

PURE CLASS IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!!!!

[phisds]

Is this version of the song on any album? Perhaps a Billboard's Best Album or something like that?

[DebsterW]

@phisds it's on Brett's album called 'hope for the hopeless'

[TheModerngirl8]

he will be the next Elton John but not gay...

I love his voice and his style of being!

CONGRATULATIONS

[TheNashmellow]

I loved him ever since he was on Daytrotter

[ToocoolFoo]

Chucky from the rugrats all grown up

[Kpsivad]

31 people dont know what heaven is

[9288Savior]

He has the sound similar to Band of Horses mixed with some old "Don't do me like that" Tom Petty and even some Simon and Garfunkel sound too, awesome job, keep up the good work !

[TheCharlieRud]

nice commercial!

[cheerio020]

ahhhhh sooooooo gooddd!!! He's amazing. So much emotion in his songs.

[ILuvMusicLexi]

ILoveyou Brett Dennen!!!

[TheAleksMichel]

soooo much better than studio version...this is unbelieavable!!!!!!!!!!!

[francescaschi1]

You are my idol.....;)

[stuntinlikemydada]

brett you inspire me sir, dont stop making music. i know this is great music because it gives me emotion

[cubed3169]

awesome

[musicphan1]

Dear Mr. Dennen, Your songs are pretty good except for "Comeback Kid". Please let a suck band like OAR have it and you never play it again, you're better than that. Also, keep playing with Mayer and Mraz, they rule, unlike sucky OAR. You're not too bad dude and will get better. Oh, and fuck OAR!

[UkenaP]

@musicphan1

tell us how you really feel about OAR...lol

[bwmoore0029]

have something to say, but don't because "you're" afraid nobody will listen? Thank goodness this guy wasn't afraid, looks like alot of people took the time to "listen" to what he had to say/sing......all great songs start with a pen and a paper, as do all great thoughts.

Don't be afraid to speak your minds, someone might be listening!

This artist should be around for some time! ever heard "ain't no reason"?

[MRSLSBURY]

Some people don't appreciate the sound of a real voice. they think everything should be flawless but where's the passion in that? real music is raw music and brett displays that beautifully.

[MRSLSBURY]

uh may zing...i saw him when he opened for john mayer 3 yrs ago...Love him!!!

[MUSSICISLYFE]

28 PPL PICKED THE WRONG BUTTON

[singergirlemily]

Brett Dennen, you are the best.

[TheSuperAlpaca14]

Awesome!!!!:D

[digitaljedi007]

I don't care if he looks like Opie from Andy Griffith, great song writing and a refreshing unique voice. F dat bieber! Dennen ftw!

[mhurck1]

what if there was no tap tap, i would never heard this talented human.

[11Jurriaan]

He knows he's not that pretty. Believe me, he knows. But that means he has to be REAL good with other things. Wich he defenitly is, 'cause there are 800 likes on this vid. The only thing I can say about the 27 dislikers, is they couldn't look further than that face of him. That's weak in my opinion.

[temeje]

this song reminds me sooooo much of bob dylan - love minus zero/no limit

[mrjohnbutler]

never heard of this guy before, but damn, helluva voice

[threeamax]

all I can say is wow...this guy has it...dont know what "it" is but hes got it

[CreateYourWorld1111]

@threeamax a speech impediment?

[TheresaM89]

Hope he stay pure and doesn't get caught up in all the fame like stupid celebs do.

[shasha66999]

WOW,this guy is really good, he doesnt look like he would be a great singer, that means anyone can have talent. i hope he becomes big!

[gzahnd]

@shasha66999 He's already huge.

[Mrgooberloop]

Holy Crap! Justin Bieber is in the "related" videos to the right! I have never wanted to destroy youtube more than I do right now!

[cindelius]

I really, really love the message of this song. It sounds a little too stripped down, to be honest. With something this stripped instrumentally, I'd expect the vocals to really carry this song. Unfortunately, I almost skipped this video without listening to the lyrics just because the vocals weren't strong enough for me. The chorus/hook is a little buried and the melody sounds a little whiny. Great songwriting skills, though!

[ohihaha]

Hmmm... Like my comment if uve played this song on tap tap revenge b4

[dearashley22]

@ohihaha tap tap is probably them only way I would of heard this I'm glad I did

[gabewebbmusic]

Amazing Talent. I'm hooked

[1996Marika]

his voice made my cry. beautiful !

[L33tImagination]

no trendy clothes? What's that new yorker cap doing there!? BURN IT! SHRED IT! It don't belong in heaven...

[rishipeace]

oh my goooosh I love this :') does somebody has the chords????

[alexandrer79]

just saw him in Montreal for the first time ... what a performance ! Very cool show ... Thanks Brett :-)

[Nikatronixx]

i'm digging his guitar. anyone think he sounds a lot like casey abrams of american idol 2011?

[againstgrace]

glad to see Brett is finally getting noticed...still not enough though. His time will come! Can't wait!

[charlestoncar]

beautiful

[mrpowerstack]

3 words: BEST.SONG.EVAR

[rishipeace]

@mrpowerstack 3 words YOU ARE RIGHT! :)

[ScottSeesStars]

martins are good. but alveraz have an amazing sound too.

[NAsHviLLePeroxiDe]

I LOVE his guitar. Martins are the best.

[27dedrummer]

i seriously cried. a song hasnt hit me like that since... god only knows :/ this man needs a fucking pat on the back

[Brazilady]

I Love this boy!

Such an artist!

[ukuvision]

I like the fact that the lyrics actually make you think about something, and makes you feel something other than 'I'm going to dance to this music'. They're beautiful lyrics. ^^

[MrWiltse]

neil goldman can play

[Devilheva666]

how the hell has Rebbecca Black got more veiws than this -.-?

[ohnename1000]

elton john with red hair. wonderful song though!

[kaspieboy]

meeeeee--aaaan, this video must have not 200,000 views but 200 000 000 views,

this is MUSIC!!! just a normal guy, normal clothes, everything normal, and a great voice = great music!!!!

[StevenThorne1]

@Jetmould, he has a little reverb going on. Pro-tools was used. He is great though!

[Anna114xD]

haha, kinda sounds like 'have fun' :D

[drew0250]

This is an amazing song, well thought of , and presented with an amazing realizim. By far one of my favorite songs.

[Omgitse100]

Damn, ginger do got soul.

[tinkerlillyb]

this song is beautiful; thanks to TapTap Revenge 4, Via iphone; i know it exist.

[MissPrancingBuffalo]

wait a sec -i mean i love this song- but am i the only person who thinks that the keyboarder looks like hes cryin?? he so cute, like kinda totally moved by this song and stuff...

[MissPrancingBuffalo]

@MissPrancingBuffalo

special at 1.10

[gotfilm999]

@MissPrancingBuffalo He looks like that a lot when he's performing. His stage name is Jon Solo. You can see some videos of him performing his own music on youtube at jonsolomusic. Check it out.

[MissPrancingBuffalo]

@gotfilm999 he seems to be a real talented musician.. thanks for the tip :)

[DiscoXDeDe]

I just feel like everyone is saying "Aww looks like he'll never make it because he doesn't fit the stereotype of an artist today" like, is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult? I mean, honestly, I feel like, he will get as much notoriety as he gets ya know, and really, artists today may have auto-tuned voices and all that, but they are making ALL THE MONEY. Just saying...

[Churchboychris]

21 people dont have speakers

[frogpollen]

21 are tone deaf

[Thebeatleslive4everr]

A fantastic song!

wonderfull

This is real music;)

[Thebeatleslive4everr]

A fantastic song!

wonderfull

[MsOnionBhaji]

Such a Shame.... I'm sure if this was someone with stereotypical "popstar" looks this song would be one of the most hit videos on youtube...

Such a beautiful song. This true talent is being wasted due to this fecked up commercialized industry.

[bjrqiup]

@MsOnionBhaji if i were an artist today, i'd take it as an insult to be in the top 40... if you catch my drift

[MsOnionBhaji]

Such a Shame.... I'm sure if this was someone with stereotypical "popstar" looks this song would be one of the most hit videos on youtube...

Such a beautiful song. This true talent is being wasted due to this fecked up comercialised industry.

21 people prefer Hell

[brcoha]

nice song but it needs a little more soul

[Schminkweisheiten]

germany loves brett dennen hihi :)

[jetmould]

Amazing,,,and all done with NO PRO-TOOLS, NO AUTO-TUNE AND MOST OF IMPORTANT OF ALL, NO TRENDY CLOTHES, NO DANCING GIRLS AND LIP-SYNCING.

Imangine that !!!  This guy pulled this off on just raw talent. Poor guy, I guess we'll never see him at any Music Awards shows.

[UncannyCasey]

@jetmould, he'll be around, mainstream or not, he'll be here because his music is needed. :)

[Kpsivad]

@jetmould mainstream doesnt except actual talent its actually good

[americandodgeball]

@jetmould I get your point, but using Pro Tools does not in itself negate musical talent. It's for recording. You might as well make fun of musicians for using microphones or chairs.

[americandodgeball]

@jetmould Come to think about it, I'd be very surprised if ProTools wasn't involved in the production of at least one of Dennen's records. It's pretty much the industry standard. And spot-by-spot pitch correction (however often abused) finds its way into even the best singers' recordings, as no singer gives a 100% pitch-perfect performance 100% of the time. Again, I don't disagree with your sentiment, but let's be real. Professional music production always involves a degree of fakeness.

[jetmould]

@americandodgeball

I realize that...I was talking about the acceptance of it's over-use in mainstream music in compensation for actual raw talent.

[americandodgeball]

@jetmould You're preaching to the choir. In my universe, there'd be no auto-tune, ever. People who couldn't get their pitch straight would just cease to make records. Maybe Brett should add a verse to his song where he explains "There's no auto-tune in heaven."

[jetmould]

@americandodgeball Uh...i believe that is what I was stating in my original comment before you were contraversial and challenged me to say that I am "preaching". I was appreciating this artist's raw talent, as opposed to some mainstream artist's who would need to lip-sync and dance their live performances because they really can't sing a note without pro-tools and auto-tune, or similar type audio aids. Fully read a comment before being abrupt with some one to say that they are "preaching".

[americandodgeball]

@jetmould What I said was, "You're preaching to the choir." It's an idiom. It means I agree with you.

[sroar]

@jetmould lol...dancing girls on his guitar. guess he gets to be famous! who else is seeing him with amos lee in philly???

[JME16MELADOS]

@jetmould - YOU SAID IT ALL. YOU USED THE WORDS THAT I WOULD LIKE HAVE USED . Você disse tudo. Usou as palavras que gostaria de ter usado.

[xXfalken16Xx]

sounds like fleet foxes guy

[TheeUrbanGentleman]

Greatness.

[hottguyjake]

wtf is this!? the sing is horrible!!! he can sing a little but this song is horrible!!

[TheeUrbanGentleman]

@hottguyjake Lol. He's great. This "sing" is awesome.

[leave93XxX]

i don't care how he is looking i love his song the lyrics and the voice..i mean slash doesn't look good and he's like a god

[siestam44]

he's phenomenal live

[acouztic4Lif3]

Idaho your gay



[18plucky]

i luv this dude the first time i saw him like a couple yrs ago he suprised me bc he looks weird but his voice is amazing

[idahocharley]

He crosses the line from songwriter to theologian in this song. He's no doubt a very great talent- but his lyrics in "Heaven" are Cliche and naive. However, his lyrics in "Ain't No Reason" are direct hits in every verse. He's still young and I think his "insights" will evolve like us all..

[DennerTV]

Brett Dennen announces his summer headlining tour in support of his fourth studio album Loverboy out April 12th through Dualtone Records. Los Angeles quartet, Dawes will open for Dennen on several of the dates. The tour kicks off on May 5th at Fitzgerald's in Houston, TX and continues through June 25th with a show at Fox Theatre in Oakland, CA.

[waeloth]

@fansofbands his is a good question, each person will have different opinions. Most of religions deny the right of other religions/beliefs to enter heaven. But I believe that God is great and merciful in a way we cannot imagine. There are some Good and basics things that no religion disagrees with, stealing is bad, lying is bad, raping is bad....charity is Good, saving lives is good,.."I think" that God will not look into only Christians believers, Jews or Muslims, ..as the true follower and th

[fansofbands]

@waeloth here is the problem tho, each religion contradicts one another. each says its the only way. i once was on the fence between every belief and believed the same thing as u. but, i but religion to the test. i looked into each figure in religion. i found christianity stands with science and is very historically acurate. and Jesus was different from every other person in religion. there is a delimma with him: he said he was God so he had to be a liar, lunatic, or God? after studying him and

[fansofbands]

@waeloth noticing how much things happen when ppl believe in him. ppl speak in tounges (no other religion does that), ppl who have been blind all of their lives get sight and im talking physically blind, ppl actually can be raised from the dead physically, ppl who were mute can speak. all these things have no scientific reason for how they happen. no other religion does this. in fact, christians say its not a religion but a relationship with God. i have witnessed all the things i mentioned and

[fansofbands]

@waeloth asked the question is jesus a liar, lunatic, or God? if he was a liar then non of the stuff that happens makes sense. if hes a lunatic then he definatley did not show it when he came to earth and showed ppl how to live, and he must be God bc ppl dont just find cures to disease and freedom from addiction and speak in tounges and rise from the dead. after all the research ive done christianity is the only credible religion. and jesus says "noone comes 2 da father cept thru me". he is the

[fansofbands]

@waeloth only way. i know that doesnt always sound good to hear after what ppl believe but every1 has their own beliefs and its too jumbled. sorry the thing about to say is to long so im sending it via message.

[haksnd]

gingerrrr ,. can sing.

[89auds89]

[londonklauer]

[scaredl]

i like Ain't no reason more but this one is good too ;)

[creatorofexperience]

beautiful

[capo5thfret]

the 20 people tht disliked are obviously deaf.

[waeloth]

A question that is always in my mind. What is heaven? Is only for a specific religion? Is only for Christians, Jews, Muslims, ... I think is is for all Good people.

[fansofbands]

@waeloth in your opinion what is a "good" person? and what do u consider a "bad" person and what do u think happens to them in the afterlife? im jw

[emi9777]

The beauty is his voice...

[phodev]

i dont know why people say he's ugly.

besides that not having anything to do with his music

i think he's hot

so shut your fucking whore mouths.

[fizzfizz28]

@phodev Hahahaha, THANK YOU.

[winterspring95]

this song really makes me think.

thank you, taptap, -3

[dushegubica]

Is that mike RC35?

[coolman291000]

I dedicate this song to japan becuase they NEED hope

[TheOmaonTour]

Ohne scheiß, der ist echt hässlich & aber das Lied ist so geil *.*

[ferdinando20]

@TheMakimoo You mean gingers do have SOUL XD

[TheMakimoo]

GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS :D

[karanrlz]

to the haters, your mum is ugly, but you don't hear me complaining

[19dec1981]

just discovered this guy by mistake and i'm in awe with his work.

amazing music, amazing lyrics and amazing voice.

why aren't true artists really promoted?

[eswhiteman]

@19dec1981 If you haven't already, check out Erick Baker. He's another amazing singer/songwriter that's not getting enough attention.

[alishawithattitude]

Amazing!

[coolman291000]

I love this guys work

[djulius92]

I want to be friends with this kid.

[MegaOro123]

all i can say people that say he is ugly his voice is beautiful and people that are judgeing on looks maybe you should stop being so sad

[angoraization]

I think that Brett Dennen is adorable

[flylikeagaysex]

Why have only 200,000 people seen this? Artists on the same channel with less then half the talent are getting millions of views. I don't understand. This is real music.

[subductionzone54]

@flylikeagaysex Unfortunately (or fortunately whicever way you want to look at it) he doesnt fit the stereotypical mold (looks and voice) of todays manufactured "artists"... Bit of autotune I reckon this could be number one (sarcasm intended) Thumbs up if you agree.

[cooandkies28]

Adorable I love the way he sings this-3

[clay2208]

Thank you for keeping music pure.

[ada4415]

NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!



[djupfrystmat]

Come on, he's not ugly. He's cool as fuck I bet he gets laid 10 times more then you haters do

[telvo14]

TapTap !!!!

[Gofex1337]

I'm all honest now, but I did NOT find him good at all. His voice is about as unique as Justin Biebers. I actually found it quite annoying to listen to. And I don't care at all about his looks, considering how good the guitar and piano parts was, his singing was a disappointment.

[justinplet]

@Gofex1337 YOU'RE an IDIOT! You have no ear for greatness and should stick to keeping your head stuck up your ass!

[xwavestr]

@Gofex1337 At least you're honest .

[pramfalk92]

Amazing! this is what i call, gingers have soul!

(i dont have somthing against gingers)

[annuciable]

not ugly! 

[yoitskelli]

He says 'feeth' instead of 'faith'. :3

He is truly adorable.

[slappy021]

gingers still don't have souls.

[1985masterplan]

coolest ginger on the planet!!!

[RunNeonTiger27]

Anyone else recognize Solo on piano?

[gotfilm999]

@RunNeonTiger27 Sure did.

[slappy021]

gingers do NOT HAVE SOULS

[HinDueN]

@slappy021 you sir. are an asshole

[Anderonie]

@WaterVideo most definitely. I think the question is more rhetorical than serious, by which he's making a statement thru his question.
