[endocry]

Uhh I could see someone like Johnny Cash singing a song about killing a man, but not this dude lol.

[synack7350]

[GiBsOnAj1979]

[xozazzie]

I love this song to death, but I also hate it because it reminds me of my stupid ex boyfriend. >:(

[skaterballa]

One day it will be a classic

[jrt896]

[vgsroy]

[SawyerLawsonMusic]

[Volcomrider2207]

Cant belive how beautiful this song is...

[baldosempret]

q deprê do cacete em..

[ucankissmyass]

I've loved this song ever since I first heard it four years ago.

I wish Kweller still made songs like this! not like that fuckin' "Sundress" piece of shit song.

[valleproductions]

Nice to see Ron weasly playing the guitar. Give him a broom and he'll take off.

[ghty102]

sounds great on guitar idk why all his recorded stuff is pianno..

[muahahaha101]

Good...so obviously Dylan influenced...but who isn't influenced by Dylan? hahah

[ichbineinGENIE]

oh i love it♥ he's so cute <3

[sleepyfox3]

@amandastardust

hahah, what? He's not fat at all.

[jacquelineisforever]

Im so glad I discovered Ben! he's pretty legit. I wonder why he tagged lonelygirl15 in this vid haha

[muahahaha101]

Ben didnt put this video up....

[suburbanindie]

His singing is so effortless, I love it.

[fragiskos24]

One day it will be a classic

[Zeinishe]

I DON'T THINK SO))

[cmallon135]

@fragiskos24 Yes, I agree 100%. This song gives me chills every time.

[L8NitEanTiX]

@fragiskos24 already is.. in my book

[xozazzie]

this is my favorite song, you imbecile.

[Grady01]

lol sry dude maybe I should have said the chorus saves the song for me. No need for name calling, its cool though.

[Grady01]

oh your not a dude at all, thought you were with that stewie reference. And I do not believe you read those books at your age but props to u if so. peace

[xozazzie]

no I am not a dude. I was joking, but I do love this song. and I have read those books, thank you for the underestimation.

[Grady01]

Did not mean it that way, it was just your age that is all. Surprised you did not mention the Twilight series, I kid I kid. My apologies for the underestimation young one.

[vavavavaner]

on my way > wasted & ready!

[AloJou]

i think they are pretty even aahaha

[rguillory58]

awesome song Ben! Again, if y'all come down Louisiana way, email me so I can go and see you! I'll cook up a cajun meal for your whole band!

[JarethsQueen]

I have this friend, he's a rambling type. He always has a guitar, used to shoot up, and I'm pretty sure he's an angel. Anyway, he plays this song a lot, and listening to this reminds me of him.

[gayfarmerboy]

i'd think you were talking about me for a second there, used to shoot to this song all the time, ha

[patrickj25]

ben fucking rules.

[regina1958]

I f ind that is could be a real song for anyone who is really down on their luck and lost!

[sixstringpsycho]

i cant watch the rest not available in my country. pahh!

[daleswan123]

At Chill City in Melbourne on good friday he was awsome and one of his jokes on stage when the mic broke was "Back in Texas we say if you cant duck it FUCK IT" it was a crack up.

[rydak]

this is so true , so real

[RichestMenInBabylon]

awesome

[drumjedi]

Who is Ben Kweller and why should I care?

[sarah7750]

<3 <3

[gayfarmerboy]

ive always seen this song as a song about drug addiction and the battles of it, just my take

[breeeegs]

how do you figure?

[gayfarmerboy]

what do you mean? how do i figure what? all i said was i used to shoot up to this song

[breeeegs]

i wasn't responding to you, my comment was a response to someone on here who said this song makes them think about drug addiction. Sorry

[twinky2345]

ahhh i totally saw him in concert last nite!! he is awesome!!

[xavianssis]

this guy is so mellow i love it

makes me feel that kind of low key coffeeshop happy :)

[ryan58822]

oh mom i never thought i was a mudering man

[DinosaurJunior94]

ben kweller makes me feel good, it reminds me of a very different time in my life

[endnow1]

me too

[naturead]

me too. its almost kind of melancholy...

[kevinthematthews]

@DinosaurJunior94 it reminds me of brick walls.

[yellowmouse7]

ahh.. benny.. come back to brisbane again..

amazing. :)

[bestrong93]

reminds me of michael cera :) cute

[FixinToBeAlotBetter]

yeah, he does look like him! lol.

[loserFREAK56]

lol he doesn't look like him buhh he talks and acts like him ahhahah :D &michael cera is wayy cuuterr than him

[anggoesgrr]

hah, looks at all those thumbs down.

[aaronryanmusic]

Nice song.

[DonutProductions]

i saw him in san francisco at the blue grass festival.. i was on acid... He was one of the most moving performances i have ever seen

[beardoweirdo]

He puts the "eller" in steller. Cool Kweller, cool feller.

[sparechangeany1]

aside from whats good and bad....ben is just doing him and thats what makes a good musician

[xain405]

Part 2:

i mean yu don't need to be that judgemental towards ppl who writes their own song, i mean this isn't my taste but u gotta give them love for trying to play music... don't be haters, just give ur love and support, or just shut the negative comments

[xain405]

Part 1:

wow haters... i mean i just came across this guy on youtube, but u guys don't really need to be that hating, gosh so much hate, where's the love? those who hate r usually those who wish they can play something you know those muscially retarted people...

[welshman83]

if its so easy, why not compose and write a song?

[imrepohl]

this is a catchy song!

[imrepohl]

Its called personal taste buddy. I'm guessing if you can't understand that, thats probably the reason why you're not a very good producer.

[drb021]

The question is, what in it inspires your anger? Why is it worse than silence? Did it give you a headache or something?

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

You mean; decent singing. a well-spun story with clever simplistic wordplay. a soothing melody and an elegant minimalistic chord pattern? I guess I just find beauty in simplicity. It brings a smile to my face and also makes me feel a little sad.

I think that's what you call emotion.

You should probably get back in touch with yours. If you have any left.

[nuber1pimper]

Damn Ben Looks really stoned

[bizzard030]

There are so many fucking haters out there. DAMN. Let him do his thing. His songs are catchy. Stickbandt27 STOP HATING...maybe one day you'll make it dude. Until then stop being bitter. Ten years of guitar and your still in your mom's basement bitch.

[teledump248]

OH MY GOSH how can you not love ben kweller?? he's a musical genius and is extremely talented. He's an amazing songwriter and musician so shut up everyone who disses him cuz you have no idea what your talking about.

[stickbandit27]

riffz0r's right.....He's so overrated. I work with TONS of musicians who are WAY more talented songwriters than this douche, so I do know what I'm talking about. I've played guitar for 10 years and his shit is brainless farmer chords over and over again. Show me a song where his guitar work sticks out????

[GetnFunky]

haha, awesome reply.. +1 He sounds and looks like a wannabe typical British boy in my opinion.

[imrepohl]

Dude don't want to sound rude but you sound a bit bitter! playing simple chords isn't a bad thing. it doesn't have to be complicated to be good.

[stickbandit27]

Being a music producer I am bitter!!! Everyday I constantly meet new people who are way more better than this toolbag. Why did he get a chance? I know why, but I'm not gonna say it here.

[imrepohl]

The very fact that you have to bring up the fact that you're a producer to prove your point just shows that you obviously aren't very good at your job...

[TheDevice1234]

You are not a music producer. Having a mac and some shitty gear puts you in a majority. Do you think Elliot Scheiner goes on youtube and trashes bands?

[taylorburkum]

Once again. You're a moron. Have a nice day.

[stickbandit27]

Get over it guys!!!!!! I just disagree with you and have the knowledge to make a sound decision on whether this is worth listening to.

[tinateaspoon]

being a music producer, surely you should respect that everybodys music taste is different? i dont understand why people like metal but that doesnt mean im going to slate it over youtube like you've done with this. if you're a music producer then i'm the fucking queen

[pietta]

i'm intrigued to know, what makes you think you have the divine power of deciding and then telling everyone what is and isn't worth listening to?

incredible...

[stickbandit27]

I mean whatever floats your boat dude......I like more older, jammier folk infused with jazz, blues, country, rock....etc (Crosby Stills & Nash) and maybe my preference overclouds my judgment, but this is just, folk, simple farmer chord folk.....

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

My guess is because he ot only writes really good song but also because there's a need for his brand of music in the market. Talent and marketability doesn't happen too often.

You may be a producer, but you've proven that you aren't really a songwriter.

Learn more than mix and balance - pick up some instruments and write some lyrics.

Let me know when your first song is done so I can listen and compare it. Also, do it on analog. No laptops or ProTools.

[JonnySoonami]

bob dylan once said that there's no money past the third fret. start hating on bob dylan and i'll kill you.

ben kweller's last album had one studio player on it: ben kweller. he played every instrument. produce that, you dickhole.

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

...I don't see how any of that relates to a pure, expertly written, folk song.

[taylorburkum]

Dear Stickbandit27,

TONS of musicians huh? I take it from your ignorance that you are a 'producer' at one of those little sound booths in malls right? Is that what you do?...BK for life.

...You're an idiot.

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

Guitar work doesn't matter in songwriting.

In COMPOSING, yes, WRITING? No.

Let's see - John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Will Sheff, Conor Oberst... there is a never ending list of great songwriters past and present that prominently incorporate "Brainless farmer chords"

So, according to your logic - Like A Rolling Stone, Let It Be, Ohio, Kick Out the Jams, Mr. Tambourine Man = all shit.

Idiot.

[ZoaN90]

A song is a group of ppl interacting. It could be the guitar seeking acceptance, and the bass that is constantly trying to make everyone feel good about themselves. The drums could be the one trying to make stuff happen. The song is a reflection of the music imo.

Not bashing you for your comment btw. I've just had these thoughts that i wanted to put out and this was a great opportunity.

I hope you get my message. And i'm not high, just weird ;)

[Sanctimonius]

but having personally played and listened to the guy, he's quite an accomplished guitar, pianist, drummer, and anything else that makes sound. i play guitar too and i think ben gives out a lesson with his music - less is more.

[Sanctimonius]

he was heralded by the New Yorker as a guitar prodigy at fifteen years old when his band radish got signed. though they did end up not really making it, so you can argue that.

[riffz0r]

he's a no-skill, that's why no one has heard from him for what, 5 years? Because he fucking sucks! DDDDDDDDDDDDURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[ThisIsWar257]

come on buddy no need to be ignorant. i mean judging talent on fan support will get you nowhere. britney spears has more fans than anybody, does that mean shes the most talented musician out there? for god sake look at people like elliott smith, jeff buckley and others, true geniuses, who were undoubtedly underecognized.

[chrisrock979899]

I agree. Being popular doesn't mean your musical abilities are fantastic. But on the other hand it's whatever you like the sound of so each to their own.

[neildw]

Right on!

And riffzor... the difference between a britney and a Ben or Jeff is that the last two will be remembered for a very very long time!

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

Is this why Wal-Mart is decorated in Hannah Montana posters.

Everyone knows that the 60's and 70's was really the only time the majority of "Pop" music was actually really good.

Today's market, sadly, is just going after image. This is why most people STILL don't know who Nick Cave is.

[ilovelocksley]

i'm in love with someone who's as pretty as a flower her life gives me power, so i'm buying her a ring she makes hats with her hands she is such an artist i'm her biggest fan, and i'm teaching her to sing aw mom, i never thought that i could love no one but tonight i'm on my way tonight i'm on my way oh tonight i'm on my way dude riffz0r or whatever,what the fuck?he is amazing and his lyrics(like the last two lines of this song above)are beautiful...and hes not a faggot hes amazing!

[riffz0r]

what a fucking faggot FUCK HIM

[jpcpop]

what a fucking faggot FUCK HIM

riffz0r Why the hate ? Ben is one of the best songwriters of our generation.

[riffz0r]

"She is a slut but her ex thinks it's sexy, sex reminds her of eating spaghetti" YEAH THAT'S SOME GREAT FUCKIN' SONG WRITING THERE HUH!? MAN WHAT A FUCKING PRODIGY........SYKE hahahaha FOOL, u are wrong and u know it so get on your knees and worship the real man. thanks.

[MoneyGMoney]

LMAO comming from the dude with gwen stephani on his favourite list, sure goes to show your musical preferences.. just about anyhting you can wack off too eh

[riffz0r]

for your info i just book marked that video so i could oogle at her sexiness at a later date. anyways lets not stray off topic, ben kweller sucks, he's ugly, and he can't write a fuckin song w/o rhyming sexy with spaghetti. i pray for his death.

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

I failed to hear the words sexy and spaghetti in this song.

Also.

Four words.

Penny On the Train Track.

Write something that memorable and I'll think your jumbled rants have at least SOME merit to them.

[stickbandit27]

"Penny on a train track." C'mon bro that's one unoriginal, cliche lyric. Just let it go guys. You're making me think you all have a crush on him from all the ridiculous responses I get.

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

I actually have always thought he was kind of ugly for some reason. Still like his tunes though. Evidently so does Rolling Stone as they picked the aforementioned song for their 100 Best Songs of 06 list. I didn't agree with about 1/2 of that list but that was on the 1/2 I did agree with. I like music played and written with passion and/or emotion.

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

Out of sheer curiousity - who is this "real man" which you speak of?

[stickbandit27]

Whoa! Watch the spam like ranting on youtube, its impolite. And besides that, don't speak about something you know nothing of. If you listened to my songs and didn't think I was a "songwriter" you should classify yourself as a moron on legal documents.What does Hannah Montana have to do with anything I said? In the sense of promotion im doing what is called sandbagging my releases...In laymen terms meaning im saving up tons of good material and releasing it slowly over the course of a decade.

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

I know what sandbagging is - people can get kicked out of bowling leagues if there's proof they've done it.

And, before you suggested no one knew who he was for 10 plus years therefore he had no talent. Whereas Miley Cyrus actually DOESNT have talent but most everyone, sadly, knows who that is. The point was; you don't have to be talented to be known anymore - just popular. Especially with the tween demographic. That's where most of the market is.

[Geburak]

I concur. And it's rather unfortunate that it has to be that way.

[ixlovexrain]

I love it and he´s is so great!{3333

[aimeedino07]

Ben Kweller is gorgeous, and perfect. He has the best voice I've heard, <3

[kawola108]

Maybe Bob dylan the early years, eh? pretty much the same...

[Ohhhsunshine]

I wish he would marry me.

[darkbluexxjm]

I'm suprized this wasn't in Juno, or on the B-sides..it's perfect for that movie.

[sousrat]

does anyone know why he wrote this?

[anciuno]

yeah... That a good thing! Hes really amazing

[anciuno]

he remind me of bob dylan when e was young

[livefortoday17]

Wow. . . I never even thought of that, but I definitely agree :-)

[kawola108]

Lol yeah i just read this comment after telling someone they sound the same...but yeah he does.

[ashkrou]

Go karate (; go The Bens!!!

[TheMightyQuinn25]

This song is so simple yet so amazing. I think it might be so amazing due to the simplicity.

[welshman83]

This song is on the album, that has the same name, "On my way", i think this song is terrific, who care how somebody looks, look at thom yorke of radiohead, he looks quite funny, noone seems to care.

[thatdrattedcat]

why do i know this song? it's not on sha sha or self-titled album...

[disturbedshawn]

meh. he plays guitar..and wears cardigans. betcha thats why you all like him.

im not dissing him, i can't do better. but really.

[truestmatrixfan]

shut your mouth, when your talking about BK...

[hanrnanrz]

I think I'm responsible for about half of these video views.

<3

[LoveIsBlind24]

I love this man.

Mad skill and a cutie.

[BJWITA]

mad good song

[TheMeEvan]

who ever directed this (cameras) did an atrocious job...

[TheSunDogMusic]
