  • This is one of my favorite songs... stirring but chill at the same time.

  • had this on repeat 24/7 in college. if you like this sound check out "emergency service band" - "when i go"

  • A graphic novel should be written about the General of this song. He's a great character.

  • I used to be a General. But then I took an arrow to the knee and i'm just a town guard.

  • @jonnytsunamification It would be Jack Johnson who stole it, seeing as Taylor was recorded in 2002 and this was recorded in 1998. Cool story though.

  • @rathjen323 hey umm little boy, get your facts straight before you talk to me kid. let the adults do the talking. peace fag

  • @jonnytsunamification Haha youtube comments at it's finest.

  • @trevor63061 I find that hard to believe. Did you actually read your comment?

  • @videocatcher234 yes i do believe tht why would i not

  • @jonnytsunamification Ahahahah, you are so stupid, is funny to me.

    This song: Recorded 1998

    Taylor: Recorded 2002

    In your own adorably retarded words,

    "Peace, fag."

  • @TheInsaneWombat "Ahahahah, you are so stupid, is funny to me."

    is funny to you? did you forget a word in there?

    english, retard

  • @jonnytsunamification It's a quote, dipshit.

  • @jonnytsunamification I'm here just to add to the hate going your way, so FUCK YOU and you don't know shit about anything other than shitting and playing with Duplo blocks. Why big Duplo blocks? Because everyone knows Duplo blocks are for the retarded children.

    P.S. - Choke on beef jerky

  • @jonnytsunamification

    rathjen is definitely right.

  • @jonnytsunamification Loooool wtf was that, go die.

  • @jonnytsunamification oohh your name is Tswag.. and dumbfuck check your facts...taylor was released later than this song... so go home to your parents basement and beat off to your grandmothers porn

  • @jonnytsunamification Your stupidity amazes me. I honestly hope you came back to this page and saw everyone pointing out your mistake. & I love the generic use of "hipster sluts". I bet you feel pretty cool... Hahah, dumb ass.

  • @jonnytsunamification Not only are you trapped in some kind of time warp, but there are distinct differences in the intros. Admittedly, they use the same techniques, and similar notation, but that is where the similarities end. Not to mention, Jack Johnson got where he is stealing his style from people. *cough*Ben Harper*cough*

  • @jonnytsunamification lol ur funny man

  • @livdashiell lol thanks, its about time someone gets it...

  • @jonnytsunamification Trolololololol?

  • @jonnytsunamification

    looking at your comment makes me wanna laugh hahha Tswag out???? lol how old are you.

  • I would argue with y'all about economic concepts and other topics of such interest, but I'm much too busy listening to the song.

  • I just spent 3 hours trying to remember this song instead of studying for my AP Chemistry final tomorrow...worth it

  • @blavinay1 I'm having the same problem with this, except for AP Bio :D

  • great tune, had it on repeat in college. if you like this sound check out "emergency service band" - "when i go"

  • Although you may have been falsely taught that FDR lead the US out of the depression and that Reagan ruined the economy, you and everyone else must look to the actual facts of what happened during those times, and then you will see the truth behind my words.

  • He regulated the economy through many policies, and also created artificial price floors and ceilings, which in turn caused shortages for some goods and surpluses for others. The major problem was deflation, which meant prices for certain goods were dropping, leading to companies making less of that good and hiring less people.

  • History is for squares. Listen to the music for the music, not the subtext.

  • @bob18thspartan if you want to live in a ruse of ignorance be my guest

  • @hockeyman4492 As the saying goes: Ignorence is bliss. Of course it's a lie, but I get sick of arguements breaking out on this wonderful song's space. But to be frank, history is my favorite subject, the Civil War and WWII being my favorite.

  • @bob18thspartan I agree the song should be the main focus

  • I do agree that Hoover may have paved the way for the Great Depression. However, it was not because he deregulated, it was because Hoover believed in government intervention, and he also increased government spending during the late 1920's. When FDR came into office most all of historians agree he prolonged the depression many years. Unemployment went up to almost 25% during the Great Depression, the highest it had ever been at that time.

  • When businesses can expand they can supply a higher quantity of goods at a particular price, which also means prices will decrease, causing consumers to spend more. This idea is simply hard to argue against, because it is backed up by actual fact, versus your idea which is not.

  • Saying "the reagan model ruined the economy in the late eighties" is like saying oranges are green. When he inherited the recession that Jimmy Carter left, it took him seventeen months (August 1981 - January 1983) to fix it. Evidence for this is found if you look up unemployment rates declining during his administration online. Also, he implemented tax cuts and reduced domestic spending. Since he stopped regulating the economy businesses were able to expand and hire more people.

  • your HyperCam is unregistered

  • Also, I meant to say during the Reagan Administration when the government was less restrictive, the economy was better, and when the economy was regulated such as during the FDR Administration, the economy was worse, as evidenced by the Great Depression.

  • @hockeyman4492

    One word. Exactly.

  • @hockeyman4492 the reagan model ruined the economy in the late eighties. FD fixed the mistakes that hoover and coolidge had made by deregulating. only a retard would think supply side economics would work

  • And although you may say our economy is in the toilet now because of capitalism, it is because the government has encroached on the economy and regulated it too much. Evidence for this is the fact that in previous years such as the Reagan Administration. If the government were not to interfere as much, the economy would work the way it should, and everyone would have equality of opportunity, but success would only come after hard work and perseverance.

  • When you imply the reason opportunity is less because of a capitalist economy, that is completely false. Rather, only in a capitalist economy is equality of opportunity possible. What you are referring to is equality of outcome, which occurs in socialist and communist/command economies. These economies clearly do not work, which history tells us (Soviet Russia). Even today in socialist countries in Europe, their economies are terrible and their standard of living is much lower than in America.

  • I also agree that government education attempts to increase opportunity, however, currently it is failing because public schools are teaching kids that everyone will succeed no matter what they do. This concept warps their concept of reality and sets them up for failure in the real world.

  • I agree that my "nobody" and "somebody" statement was a little off. What I meant was that anyone can start off doing something like selling computers out of a garage until they found one of the biggest consumer electronics companies in the world (Steve Jobs). There are countless stories of how people have succeeded through sheer determination.

  • The American Dream is the idea that anyone can be successful regardless of social status through hard work and perseverance. However, this does not mean everyone will succeed just because they live in America. We are given equality of opportunity not equality of outcome. So everyone who is hating on America should stop, because only in a democratic capitalist country like America is it possible to start out as a nobody and work your way up to being a somebody.

  • @hockeyman4492 I think that the element of your philosophy that people (such as I) might take umbrage with is inherent in your justification when you refer to "nobodies" and "somebodies".

    Aside from that embarrassingly socially divisive and class-based argument, there are also issues with your statement that we all have equality of opportunity. While there are government institutions (such as public education) that endeavor to...

  • @hockeyman4492 ...raise the lower limit of opportunity, shall we say, that does little to actually foster equality, due to the inherent economic unfairness of things such as the condensation of wealth in capitalist systems, and the related issue of inheritance.

    While it is irritating for people to make baseless criticisms of our government, please be aware that our government and society are far from perfect, and that it is not only our right, but our OBLIGATION to criticize the government.

  • if you disliked you were obviously beat as a child

  • Why is it that on every good song like this, people have to go and get into retarded arguments?

  • This song, after repeated events of my friends and I bursting into this song randomly, became our class song. It's not an opinion per se, but I think the story speaks for itself on how we liked it.

  • amazing tune, had it on repeat in college. if you dig this sound check out "emergency service band" - "on top of the world"

  • BAMBOO - the general

    Bamboo's version is better IMO =]

  • @jessrocked GET. OUT.

  • 108 cowards didn't take a step back.

  • well done

  • I LOOOVEE this song

  • watch?v=OCIhOjOy8X0

    music video i made for their song outloud. let me know what you think :)

  • if this song is bullshit, then its a really, really GOOD bullshit.

  • is it possible to dislike this song?

  • @Avaccaro02 107 people say yes, I say no however.

  • Why does good music get neglected while bad music is shoved in our faces?

  • @RevolutionRequired

    Otherwise we would ignore the bad music. Good music doesn't need incessant promotion.

  • @RevolutionRequired thts also called mainstream music

  • @RevolutionRequired because all record company workers inject themselves with feces, and were touched by there pedophile uncles :D

  • If this song was a woman, I would date it, break up with it and then call it to tell her I can't live without her.

  • great tune, had this on repeat 24/7 in college. if you like this sound check out out "emergency service band" - "when i go"

  • You used hypercam to record one picture?

  • I'm so in love with this song. One of those songs that moved me to tears. Could you imagine being this man and fighting for something you know is wrong to save the lives and honor of the people who you're in charge of? Beautiful, terrible, heroic.

  • If this was a song called The General by Dispatch on youtube , i would like it

  • if this song was a yellow light, I would yield

  • If this song was on Youtube I would keep my fucking opinion to myself and not post a stupid comment about it

  • @EnvelopeWizard You failed...

  • @EnvelopeWizard

    If I had a propensity to rage about silly comments in some corner of the internet I wouldn't read the comments.

  • @EnvelopeWizard Take a chill pill man, smoke some weed.

  • @EnvelopeWizard but isn't that the whole point of a comment on Youtube? .................

  • @EnvelopeWizard that's OBVIOUSLY not true.

  • @EnvelopeWizard But you just posted your opinion?

  • if this song were weed. well itd be weed. just high quality weed.

  • If this song was a song i would listen to it all day........

  • If this song was Cocaine and Prostitutes, I would be Charlie Sheen.

  • If this song was a drug, i would have OD'd by now.

  • if this song was on youtube, I would leave a comment

  • if this song was a cowbell, I would want more cowbell

  • if this song was a song, it would be called the General and it would be by the band Dispatch.

  • If this song were a republican, it'd be on a starburst commercial.

  • i like the last lyric "no copy right intended" LOL

  • I love how you filmed this with a hypercam?

  • Amazing Song, bad Band.

  • It sucks that this is the only song by Dispatch that I like, it moves me. It makes me all teary in the happy way.

  • the live version is so much better

  • I sang this song for a music performance at my school. He sings... so... Fast...

  • dat guitar in this song... so difficult to learn -_-

  • @picsmics4

    not really.

  • @kaa3164 yes really, considering I've picked up playing guitar no less than three weeks ago... :P hey I'm trying.

  • @picsmics4

    Well then it's a pretty hard song.

    If I would be talking to myself when I had only played for three weeks I would REEAAALLY recommend learning musicology if you can.

    Really try to remember how the notes are set up, how they work on the guitar and how to read them.

    Focus on those things and put some effort into it.

    I wish I would have been told that so I'm telling you :)

  • @kaa3164 ah. I will be sure to do that! thanks for your advice. I'll keep practicing :)

  • This song is life changing

    

  • If this song was a sandwich, it'd a damn good sandwich.

  • @NotReloaded If this song was a woman, she'd make a damn good sandwich. XD

  • @tomatoface12 Haha xD

  • such a great song... by such bad players. lol.  goes to show you: you don't have to be technically phenomenal to make good music.

  • This song makes me wanna cry every time

  • why is this song so good?

  • Check out "Chillin" by Five Wheel Soul

  • when i came back from camp this year i cried i listen to this song all day and it made me happy it still brings me back to camp awesome song

  • @xXxDyLaNxXx100 did you go to lanakila by any chance

  • We need to blast this in all the big boys fucking rediculously nice houses here on post, any one else with me? If you even know what the hell I'm talking about that is...

  • @carny426 Yea....what exactly are you talking about?

  • @GanaLaMana About trying to get the generals on my old post (post = military base) to stop being fucking cock smooches and do the right thing by not sending boys off to die for some punk ass political agenda. But thats just wishful thinking that I know will never come to be.

  • @carny426 So you signed up for the military and now regret it? That's kind of your fault.

  • @GanaLaMana No shit Sherlock, But I never said I regreted it. I learned a lot. The only down side is that what I learned turned me into a bitter cynic.

  • @carny426 Why be a cynic when you can accept what you know as unchangeable, walk outside & see the roses bloom, and just suck life in. It's like the song says...take a shower & shine your shoes. You got no time to lose. You are young man, you must be living.

  • @GanaLaMana I'm a cynic because I genuinely despise the company of most people. The public is a weak mass of semi conscious drones who I find have no ability to accept reason, logic, or even half way intelligent conversation longer than 15 minutes.

  • @carny426 Would it mean anything if I said I can sympathize? I feel outside of society too. Just out of curiosity...what are your general views/beliefs?

  • @GanaLaMana My general views are that of logic and reason, I'm a devout anti-theist, the united states has pulled the plug from the drain bellow and it's just a matter of time before the country is toast. This I think is avoidable, but I don't think that anyone is willing to accept the fact that the american dream is just that, a figment of imagination, the stuff of pipe dreams, and a vastly flawed idea left to open for interpretation. I could go on... and you?

  • @carny426 The American Dream is complete interpretation, it's what you think it is. But i don't understand how the American Dream has anything, at all, to do with your so called argument of reason and logic, and the downfall of the United States/

  • @thebeltsquad Thats just it, the american dream tells people that they can do anything and become anything, and they'll strive in order to get to where they percieve, most never get there and are constantly grabbin at it even though logic and reason says it's they can't get it. Instead of being realistic, it makes people strive for mostly a lot of shit that doesn't matter

  • @carny426 Look up anarcho-primitvism. Read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn if you want a philosophical understanding. It took me about 4 years and a lot of thinking after turning 17 before I finally came to this conclusion. "Primal Blueprint"- nutrition, "People's History of the US"- busts founding fathers fanatics, "Myth of Mental Illness"- psychology, "Sex At Dawn"- sexuality, etc etc. Everything points to the fact that society has us in captivity! The best life is that of a "Leaver" (Ishmael vocab).

  • @GanaLaMana Couldn't agree more, the US was founded on irony, a bunch of slave owners that wanted to be free. I am indeed an anarchist, but I don't associate with an anarcho-subgenres because I feel that it contradicts the very meaning of anarchism, kinda like that guy that's telling people to join his anarchist cause. Its a fallacy. And thanks for the link by the way.

  • @carny426 Also, a friend linked me to the blog post I am linking below. He followed similar reasoning that I did. He's actually talking about Ted Kazynski, who was actually not that crazy. You can find his manifesto on the internet if you wanted to read it.

    hawaiianlibertarian.blogspot.c­om/2011/03/killer-insights.htm­l

  • @carny426 you know what sucks the most? its that the mass of semi consiousness is composed of half as many people in that mass, that think like you and that mass needs you no matter how much it pushes you back... anyways you hate it because that mass does exactly to you what you do to it

  • @fausimo No what sucks the most is that when you try and help people they spit in your face as a thank you, especially americans, we're the worst. So I quit helping people that I don't think need nor deserve it if anything I'm more liable to throw a bottle at them. I never would have turned my back on the mass if they didn't do it to me first, so fuck em. I can't wait until the country is in chaos and people all along this miserable place starve just so I can see some form of justice.

  • if this song was about a general who changed his mind and wanted his men to live a lon- wait a second.....

  • This song is so beautiful. Adventure Treks for life!!

  • If this song was a republican, I wouldn't plug with my 12 gua-WHAM WAHM.
