Be Good or Be Gone, Fionn Regan

[WordWizard1]

i love the way the location changes, but the focus remains constant, not even on fionn himself but just the guitar and his voice. i like that... concentrating on the important bits :) not that fionn isn't important obviously, just the music being more so, if ya get me :)

[JonTru90]

:40 is my favorite. idk why, just epic haha

[miscelaineouss]

i love this song and had no idea there was a music video for it!

[chickennugget882]

2:20 is my favorite.

[cluedo1]

Nooo! I can't stop laughing ;) Great video! :D

[mrmoniker]

He's a cross between Tim Robbins and Rain Wilson. Nice song.

[MrJustinMoody]

Mike Doughty c'mon. I mean he is good and all but no Fionn Regan.

[LucidEyes17]

This is foolish. He isn't singing about anything. His songs stroll down these vague, breezy little corridors. If you want to to hear acoustic music, earthy, vital music, listen to Mike Doughty's 'White Lexus.' In a fight between acoustic performs (hilarious in itself) Doughty would stomp this nerd's ass.

[AbbiEllie94]

i love the part were he is in a clock shop thingy. the different ticking noises must've been off-putting :')

[poeven]

genius

[homelessbillll]

Does anybody have his old EP's?! I want to download them, but I can't find them anywhere. /:

[CouturePlastique]

most of them u wont be able to find on the net u could possibly try ebay and he went by the name bilbo for a few years so try searching for that

[ExOh1993]

You probably won' be able to buy them but I managed to find his Hotel Room EP on eBay so you might get lucky.

[EvilLeprechaun12]

heard this at the end of "The Cut". utubed it straight away. love the video lol very nice!

[lazyitus]

this is a brilliant vid! I think it's great, making it for real in these different locations. the background noise is reality. it would have been worse for him to be lip-synching in this vid. it's art.

[guythepie78]

the background sounds ruin it a bit ...

[lisadagu]

Wow I love this clip!

[iabasil]

did someone notice that Fionn play guitar in left-handed way, during the hairdresser set?

[grittychris]

yes, I think they were filming his reflection in a mirror. If you look at the bottom left you can see the corner of the mirror a bit.

[eatsleepride100r]

also, the initials on the guitar are backwards

[tenju]

mirror

[abmoor]

yeh i was a bit confused at first. it is a mirrored image though, not him actually playing it left handed. u can tell by the way the F and R are still up the correct way.

[Zumz101]

its called a mirror

[xmeantonex]

It was just him looking in the mirror from the barber's chair. (you can tell because of the "FR" on his guitar is reversed)

[didzease]

He doesn't play left-handed, they filmed his reflection in the mirror ;)

[ager20]

this song is on season 3 eprisode 5 part 4 on grey's anatomy :D

[lisadagu]

and season 2 episode 9 on Skins...

[BunnyMan456]

i like it. it's a risk but i think it worked. although he doesn't sing as pretty when he's live. shame

[granaff]

Poor bloke,He had to play the song over and over again in different. Great video but he must be very bored of the song now! Its good for him thats its gone:D

[imasuperbeaver]

I don't particularly like THIS song, but I'd give him another chance. His album is superb.

[ashtonmorris]

I think this song is about an elderly person he knows who has Alzheimers, and used to be a child actress.

[Lacey131313]

coolest vid ever.

[Beoy999]

its real, makes me just think of everyday life. life is melodic if we'd only listen and appreciate. the different acoustics - thats what life is not full complete stereo audio non stop. Beautiful idea

[Mariekesone]

Weirdest vid i have ever seen, it changes the mood of the song and the way i feel about the song even...

It is a lovely tune to start with, but i love the artistic value you gave it...:D

[02nothing]

If this is all actual audio, that must've been a bitch to mix. Worth it, though.

[MyChemCandy]

i love the idea of actual audio.

it almost sounds better like this in my opinion:)

[sinxbex]

I think this might be the first film clip i've seen with actual audio..

awesome song aswell.

[cheeeseballs]

this is so new and amazing. i felt tingles everywhere

[ChaosAndCupcakes123]

this is a beautiful song. And the video is amazing

[XxxkrazyktxxX]

What ad is this in? :S :(

[Verdespraderas]

:D Great!

[BradyEleven]

This is an amazing video. Completely original, using actual audio.

[muhreeuh]

so lovely! a brilliant video by a brilliant artist.

[smileitssunday89]

Fantastic live.

Beautiful lyrics.

Awesome video.

[lovemudfootball]

What a beautiful man.

[smileitssunday89]

Amazing amount of views this video has gotten too, didn't know he was that big.

[roryphelan]

I think he got quite a bit of press in England when this came out

[hamudvivoo]

wow what a great video!!!!

[reliablebow]

shhh, quiet now in the library...

[johnathanmc36]

pretty cool reminds me of an aftyernoon walking round town with nothing to do

[gazzahynes]

brilliant video...can't believe i've never seen this before..!!

[aaron4au]

I saw him live and got to speak with him after the show. Couldn't have been any nicer or more real. I'll never forget that.

[sleepingawake666]

i thought i was the only person who's name is fionn

[madguitarist900]

yes!

[dumbodonus]

I hate to download it because he diserves money more than most artists. But... where can i find this album online?

[KonohasFastWhiteFang]

uhhh, ever heard of itunes, hteres even a link at the beginning of the video x

[dumbodonus]

I don't like paying for music or I tunes.

[Profeshian]

"And for my next trick, I shall have my cake and eat it too!"

[02nothing]

2:37, anyone else think "Dude he's ambidextrious, too?!" before realizing it was a mirror.

[dbyrnerulz]

Hes from Bray

[thatsbloodyawesome]

watched an old episode of skins, (ep 9 series 2) and this played when cassie spilt the milk. i looked up on the skins site n found it, just gorgeous and so pretty, love the guitar in it, might attempt to learn it, ×

[annifer24]

"I have become an arial view of a coastal town that you once knew.."

I love it. :)

[dante561]

He is amazing, Not to be dick but on a side note why do people always post comments "HAHA HE GOT SAME NAME A ME!" just don't get how its relavent but sorry he rocks sorry for flaming. >:(

[idiotoftheweek]

OMG GUYS NO POSTING ANYTHING SLIGHTLY OFF THE SUBJECT. JESUS.

Just to really piss you off, I'm wearing a pirate hat.

[dante561]

amazing thanks for proving my point.

[idiotoftheweek]

Hah i'm not even sure if you knew i was being sarcastic, i don't even know what is going on to be honest. Oh well. :D

[PetaPanPipes]

I love pirate hats <3

But yep, Fionn Regan - Tallented man. Very creative video too. I'd love to see him live.

[smallglassfrog]

beautiful. and i agree 1:16 is incredible. i love this guy's work. i have become compltely addicted to his album

[cheezman122]

yay im called fionn aswell hehe gd song

[biketski]

awesome concept

[Alexanderblu]

I'm going to have to agree with that 1:16 comment. I want that image on a poster.

[LuvSickPuppi]

i know....what a poster.....i mean talk about a visual orgasm,a garage with a gypo in front of it..........id pay thousands...if not more....yawn...enthrawling,or.­....yeah..good.....sad bastard.

[Alexanderblu]

Yeah tonight I am holding ritual suicide in an effort to remain in that image forever.

[claire651]

this man's music is beautiful

[soccerholic101]

beautiful <3

[w00t624]

fionn regan is awesome. i now see where the inspiration for the hairstyle from "no country for old men" comes from....

[baklavalvr]

1:16 is the prettiest place

[maxschiro]

great idea.

[mohanned13]

Ha just noticed he's playin left-handed at 2.38!

[dodgeballhero]

...no, it's just his reflection in a mirror.

[mohanned13]

Beautiful, he's so talented. And a very under-rated guitar player

[sunflourr]

aahaha the library scene is so adorable! 1:45

[kkkkkristen]

the poor guy must have had to play that song a million times for this.

[babycharlie2006]

i love fionn regan, hes amazing :)

and so is this song.

[cottoncactus]

i love the beginning, how the elevator door opens, and youre like, o hi, fionn.

[maetchen00]

I dont know if it was in a commercial.

But woah.

This guy is freaking amazing.

This song/video is BRILLIANT.

[Clementine89]

can anyone tell what ad this was in? a car ad i think

[driedsea]

this video is fucking clever. i love it.

[aisforadventure]

1. Nick Drake was a tard with a terrible voice and even worse lyrics.

2. Fionn is a beast.

3. Why do people compare things? Just listen to it, if you like it then great, Fionn accomplished something. If not, NO ONE CARES!

[mynamesnonchalant]

god he's amazing f'real

[convexrouge]

nick drake is great, fionn regan is great

why gripe over comparisons?

[nickdrakefans]

A shameful copy of Nick Drake. From the face expression to the simulated nonchalence.

I know artists get inspiration from others, but here it's just too much.

Sorry, 0 stars.

[elysiumseeker]

I'm failing to see any comparison apart from the fact his fingerpicking, vocal melodies and lyricicm are at a very high standard. If this is what you mean, then I agree but all good fragile, acoustically laid bare music is like this. Why compare? Just enjoy. All art is influenced by something. Why be negative about it? Check out my channel for a low standard of the acoustically laid bare.

[ppaanntteerraa]

he's playing in a mirror. moron.

[scrobytilt]

did he play the guitar left handed at one point?

[Hamstrahammer]

lol yea, at like 2:37 he switches over....that's so cool

[Jackiegoal]

He doesn't, that piece of video is just flipped. Look at the FR on the guitar or the text on the wall.

[ChipPetree]

It's not flipped - the camera is shooting at the mirror in a barbershop, and he's in a chair facing the mirror so therefore looks inverted/left-handed.

[eloisa011]

not a bad song, except for the fact he's brutaly copying Nick Drake...

[KaitlynHooligun]

Everyone gets inspiration somewhere. Nick Drake had to have got his from somewhere, he certainly wasn't the first guy singing with a guitar.

[SmileyWhiplash]

Well done.

[thebeets21]

He's a very talented man.

[mickog91]

y do ppl bother complainin bou vids like dis...IF U DONT LIKE IT PISS OFF

[stragglerbird]

if you're a fionn fan you might enjoy our tunes as well. give 'em a listen on this channel! "straggler bird"

[marvelousXthings]

I just heard this song today on my way to school while listening to Sirius Satellite radio...I loved it! I still do and I think I will for a long time :)

[Causticsting]

which station on Sirius? Was it #26 left of center?

[Chellagon]

Love this song and video XD!

[kkkkkristen]

I'm in love with this.

[sabz121]

ohh..

that was meant as a reply to lordlust69s

stupid comment

'wonder if his dad still fucks him'

ure an IDOIT lordlust 69

xx

[thelivingnoodle]

They mirrored the video from the hair salon (2:37). It looks like he's playing left handed. It could be on purpose, but it bugs me every time I watch this!

[mrjojobeans]

They didn't mirror the scene, the scene was shot looking into a mirror. Notice the frame in the lower left.

[intriguing22]

Ah, it's so beautiful and perfect. I just want to melt.

[takeme2london]

luv it!!!

[soodleb]

love his little grumpy look

[cruisealong]

Never gets old

[FattieAna1408]

I heard this on Skins...It's such a lovely song...

[marycigarettes]

the best....so likeable

[scaryharry6]

extremely creative he must of had to play that song 58432432423 times

[hellohello92080]

xx

[hemptime123]

[DINGDONG645]

you're a complete retard.

[lordlust69]

i don't appreciate that sort of talk son. this is a place for people who enjoy Fionn

[sabz121]

LOOSER!

talk abbout attention seeking

¬_¬

[ShaneR1988]

and your not lookin for atention

[sabz121]

no im not.

i dont go on the internet making disgusting, unconstructive attention seeking comments you see ShaneR1988

;D

xxx

[theabstractkidisback]

So you come on Youtube to degrade yourself?

And to comment on people you can never be.

Fionn Regan is an amazing artist and deserves full credit for his work, and full credit for this video as it is full of origionality. =]

[melovechoc]

this song is on the telly nw!!

[smileitssunday89]

I ♥ this song!

[lordlust69]

i think this is the gayest thing i have ever seen.

[DosedBeatnik]

Just got "The End of History" the day before yesterday...beautiful songwriter. Great video.

[daniyep]

this video is amazing!!!!!

[popntod]

wow. that's brilliant. is the original song like this. or is the sound like this just in the vid? such a good idea!

[hopeinathought]

haha, love it!

[lilysherwood]

I just love this vid ! So original and so good :)

[SirChadwic]

That was so original. I like it much!

[knl44]

the best song of this episode is Between the bars - Elliott Smith- just at the right moment/ ahh

[nnanook]

i dont understand what ur saying but i do love eliott smith (if thats how u spell it :S)

christian brothers especialy

[knl44]

im not talking about this song, im talking about the songs used in an episode of SKINS, and i think be good or be gone is fine, but Between the bars of ELLIOTT SMITH is so much better.

[dxmkrew]

i like how he plays around with different sounds in different settings in this video. it works for a video, i don't know about a recording...when you can't see it visually.

[cruisealong]

Yea is a brilliant idea isnt it! Very origional, but on the actual album its just recorded normally.

[Lolie182]

I was just watching Skins and I found this song, so great ! CHRIS ;'(

[Ichcann]

Is it confirmed that he's dead?

[GabbyBruce]

love it!!!!!

[1cal3]

yep skins i love sid n all the songs from that episode are great

[beckyboo085]

oh my god...I was a day late watching skins, slightly stoned and had to get on here to find this amazing song....how many of us on the same wave length!!!!!!!!!
