[KittyCatGirl15]

is the original of "cant" by ALL CAPS or tom milsom?

[Quinklong]

@KittyCatGirl15 It was originally written by Alan Lastufka and his friend a long time ago, but Tom redid for Taking Leave, so no, 'Can't' was not made by ALL CAPS, they just did a cover of it.

[dingis07]

@KittyCatGirl15 tom milsom / alan lastufka

[Gopalissocoollike]

[camladyiswickeawsome]

This is possibly the greatest thing ever.

[JBdaWonderLlama]

I heard the Mirror Song Erase This version first, so the different genre of this one scared me

[glassywitch]

so beautiful.

[someone332]

The Mirror Song is my favorite. :D

[FreakNumberOne96]

I like the other version of the mirror song more, but this one is really freaking awesome as well :)

[kare8440]

omg im crying i love it so much like this is the first time ive loved some thing this much

[Skuttinen]

Very nice album, you've made a terrific job all of you :D

[missacejay]

I love them all. Except maybe "The Mirror Song" didn't need that girl singing in it too. Well, that's what I think anyway - constructive criticism, and all.

[colorguardgurl24]

I love Kristina :D she's really funny

[missacejay]

@colorguardgurl24 Yeah, I wasn't saying like there was anything wrong with it, or anything like that, i just thought that the song didn't need it - it was okay as it was. It's still a cool song, though. :)

[colorguardgurl24]

oh no, i knew that you didn't mean it in a bad way xD and I lovee that song too

[Luv2Rock11]

i luv this album!!!!!! The songsr so freakin sweet :) i luv them all. <333333

Fuck human emotion, I am a robot.

HAAAAAAATTEE!!!!

[nAthAnxhAAg]

wow this is REALLY good shit, i m buying it

[SilenceOfTheChicken]

"Just A Boy" is my favourite. Really amazing.

[parkerpnut]

I love the song "Just a Boy" "The Wind" "can't" The Mirror Song" and "Forgiven" so I basicly love all of them :P

[GreerMerle]

I love this album. I listen to it all the time.

[BobStockYT]

well done. very well done.

[BarelyPerfect]

this is a beautiful example of what musicians should become in the modern era. also, it makes me sad that the only tracks i like are "just a boy", "can't" and "the mirror song"

[OgFiasco]

Head.

[781228XX]

What? the Wind is one of my favorite songs!

[stride7860]

favorited and 5 stared.

[apikiller]

i love your music

[Timmay89]

[pboisei]

jesus christ would you just buy the damn CD!

[stfuXnukka]

thehulk, youre an idiot.

[xSpartanCx]

[MrThesamo]

my comment is the same ;D

[nerdgirldrwhofreak]

it works for me too!

[noNAMEforUS2day]

keep da good work and ignore hataz ok..

[Darian10Again]

Awesome Songs!

Awesome Channel!

And a very Awesome use of anoticons :D

[Kay10en]

Fantastic. Amazing. Wonderful. Marvellous. Lovely. Awesome. Beautiful. Great. All these words and more.

[wellthatsucs4u]

oh yea that worked

[EqualAndFree]

I bought it. I came across this by chance and recognized Tom's voice instantly. I could happily listen to him reading out the telephone directory. The sound quality is excellent too (on the iTunes version - not the YouTube one).

[monettube1]

yeah..I simply bought this....and glad I did...

[MikeMarino]

When I get a chance, I plan to buy this :)

[littleradge]

"We can keep it confidential"

You post this comment on a video belonging to the OWNER of DFTBA Records. You are literally telling the company that you're bootlegging its albums. Seriously? xD

Oh, and "a lot" is two words.

[tuffllee100]

these youtubers EARN there money thanks to people buying they're cd,they put a whole bunch of effort in releasing them and i'm sure there proud of they're product. so please,stop asking for MP3's no one will give because it's just disrespectful to the artist's and record label.

[bertiemycat]

hey mate can u send me this thanks

[Quinklong]

WTF!? If you have (quote)"ALOT of dftba songs"(end quote) then why do you need any DFTBA CD? Take your piracy somewhere else, we don't care for your torrents and epic illegal ways. And, just FYI, you can go to jail. It'd be a shame to go to jail over YouTube, wouldn't you think?

[elvendork1995]

what ?

[blithium]

The guy who said "If anyone has any DFTBA songs, send them to me, we can keep it confidential" right on this video xD

[elvendork1995]

what a fool

[Marj12592]

I think my favorite is the Mirror Song.

[elvendork1995]

mine too

[MBRHIndustries]

This is a great idea.

[FrostyEagle7]

"Can't" is still my favorite. Although, hearing John's bit gave me shivers :D

[TheNo1Subscriber]

the mirror song is my fav and yes i do have the album =P i think tom and kristinas vocals go great together and the piano sounds great

[emovampess]

WHY DO I NOT HAVE THIS CD YET?

Oh,thats right,because I'm an evil person.

Though haveing no money dosn't help......

[ourmixtape]

a comment from your friendly neighbourhood collab channel!

[goodnightemilie]

This entire CD is beyond amazing. I can't stop listening to this on repeat. Oh my wordd.

This Video EP is an extremely good idea, as well! The layout is also extremely beautiful as well. It's clean and organized. Your picture choice to follow the songs are also very befitting and artistic. Love it. <3

[Piggie138]

that was amazing

[mangobanna]

Holy crap. This is the best idea, like, ever.

[DoNotLeaveTheWorm]

Wow, what a great idea! Kudos!

[blithium]

And THIS is how you advertise!

[swannielake]

No that is what I call bloody efficient home marketing .. well done!

[megpwns09]

My friend walked in while I was listening to this and immediately walked out. wtf? If I didn't have a bruised tail bone, I would run!!

[smilinglimpet]

another chapter has begun in the history of music distribution...

:)

[thelastgoodkiss21]

Alan, you're amazing.

[spixdon]

This is such a great idea. Now no matter where I am or what computer I'm using I can enjoy, and I don't even have to go rescue the CD from my car. Thank you so much!

-Caitlin E.

[coolbunny2344]

XD this video is so cool. you can just skip to the song :D awesome!

[ipdddd]

weird you got John from vlogbrothers into one of the songs

[Quinklong]

You know Hank co-owns the record label with Alan?

[bellster24]

the sparks fly upward isn't working :(

[xuangxuang]

It says you have to wait till the entire video loads for it to work.

[sandwichperson]

Really cool idea. Waiting for my CD to arrive. :)

[thephantommilk]

This is really freaking cool.

Plus the music rocks.

[Cmed1970]

the last song kind of sounds floyd-esque

[NeRdPoTtErFrEaK13]

I absolutely LOVE Can't. The whole EP is amazing! but that is my fave.

[HPPirates]

I love the Mirror Song. It's so good, as is the whole EP. Thanks for putting it up here.

[thenextbigthing12]

I'm in love with this CD!

*looks to see if she can afford it this month to buy*

Fave songs: Just A Boy and Can't

[YunaLIke]

I love it! :D

I'll definitely have to pick it up sometime.

[xGlowFliesx]

This CD is definitely one of my favorites.

I still need to do my blogpost though...I've been a tad sidetracked [:

Just A Boy is definitely my favorite [:

[Roth77au]

Already received the Cd in July

Yes thats right all way down in Australia

Great Music Etc ...

Love : Just a Boy, Can't and Forgiven

[SmileysAreMagical]

omg this is so gd

i luv the story it tells its so sweet

[GeimywithaG]

awesome...

but i already have the cd

:)

[sillyhelen]

You're awesome, Alan. So very awesome.

[REMsleeper428]

I love this!

[insertwhatwhere]

This is so good.

[JugglerMaxx]

wooow! amazing use of annotations! i never would of thought of that...

[therampantbookworm]

wow this is so cool! i love the songs!

[therealsamlewis]

Wow I really loved these songs!! You're doing a great job!!

[StormTheIndustry]

This video makes me extremely giddy.

I love the music and John's little bit makes me incredibly happy. It's so well done.

You're incredible, Alan.

[raganok1]

how u make this?

[hayleyghoover]

WHOA. I am so freaking confused. How does one go about DOING this?!?!?! You're a legend, Lastufka.

[the13unwanted13]

yea me too

[fallofautumndistro]

You can annotate to specific timestamps in your videos now. =) I just figured out where those times were and annotated them.

[thereader]

This is probably the greatest idea ever for music sharing.

It has the feeling of those cool widget music players but it's nestled in a youtube player. Brilliant

[PencilDude90]

Bought it last week waiting for it in the mail :^)

[Quinklong]

I can't stop listening to "Just a Boy", any chance you can put the piano sheet music up for it on DFTBA Records?

[teacakessilly]

This album has grown and grown and grown on me and now I adore it. =]

If you're listening for the first time and aren't sure, play it through a second time, it is well worth it.

[fallofautumndistro]

Happy to hear it, thanks for giving it a second chance. =)

[ronariverah]

I might buy this now.

[TheWakkyTank]

This is great

[robynnealane]

Does that mean I can write a review now and get the b-sides for free without buying the CD? ;)

But, really, it's a great album. I'm not a huge fan of Tom's voice on the first song, but I'm sure I'll get used to it, and I loved the rest of it. I need to become not poor and then I'll order a bunch of DFTBA stuff, promise.

[MollyOmigosh]

This is so cool, how you set it up. Amazing!

[2loafabread]

awesome great album

[Kilendger]

Brilliant Alan. I love the song "Can't"

[TheRealHardRockMusic]

Favorite  =)

[ladydars]

This is awesome Alan.

I have been eagerly waiting to get my tax return so I can buy some youtube albums, and this one is on the top of my list!

:-)

[Domingo0022]

This is amazing!

[chubawunkin]

this is the most amazing music thing-a-majoo on the internet...and an independent did it before some big music house did. Sue them for copyright infringement when they try to do this for the newest Britney spears album!!

[kira902k]

Oh, thank you for uploading!

But don't you think people will not buy it then, if they can just listen here?

Still, this is great.

:)

-Alex

[fallofautumndistro]

We'll see, I guess. If it hurts sales, I can always take it down. But I believe most people will do the right thing. They'll use it to preview the songs, maybe even get to know the songs and if they like them, shell out the measly $6 for the album. =)

[kira902k]

Oh, that makes sense I guess. Smart :P

[catandmoose13]

Yet another thing to save money for. This is awesome.

[tjthewho]

Brilliant Alan, first streamed Album - I love it, I think I'll buy this when I get paid.

[nerdpantish]

this is beautiful. you guys are one the the biggest reasons youtube rocks.

DFTBA

[acdcfan7]

this is a great idea but i already bought the cd so i want to wait to listent to it untill it get it

[dedicatedrr]

Been meaning to get around to purchasing this, definitely will after listening to this :)

[TheEyegarian]

"stream while you're at school" 70% of all schools have youtube blocked. Not trying to bring you down or anything, just letting you know.

[iamcrookedneighbor]

I love the way this is streaming. Leave it to Alan to say 'Fuck it, I'll do it MY WAY'.

You DID NOT forget to be awesome.

ben,

[platospaceandtime]

amazing, very very very well done amazing writing

[howtospellkaitie]

I have to say, if you hadn't posted this I would not have thought about buying the album. I just don't buy a lot of music, sadly enough. I clicked the video to get it out of my subscription box (because I'm weird and I like my subscription box to be empty) and it started playing and I couldn't stop listening! I will most likely buy this on itunes now. I also just bought your youtube book, so you're getting a lot of money from me lately!

[fallofautumndistro]

Well thank you very much. Hope the book is helpful, and if you do pick up a copy of the EP on iTunes, I hope you rock it out a lot, make it earn those $6.

[howtospellkaitie]

Ha, I certainly plan on rocking it out =]

[tuffllee100]

Hey Alan,are you gonna make other albums from DFTBA full streaming?

[hubertcumberdale2008]

I already have the EP and I just can highly recommend it. Played it to my friends the other day and they loved it as well. Now I just need to get them to order themselves a copy.

[KlingongBane]

I want "The Sparks Fly Upwards" and "Forgiven" played back to back at my funeral, it's so amazing.

[air1cat]

this is a brilliant idea.

<3

[holliebadollie]

can you ship to the uk?

[fallofautumndistro]

Yes, we ship worldwide.

[KlingongBane]

The Mirror song was tear worthy, great job!

[KlingongBane]

The Mirror Song FTW also! :L

[KlingongBane]

Can't FTW!

[Wolfidy]

<3 the whole thing. Definitely gonna have to buy it.

[Katwillbehere]

I love love love the mirror song.

[jigitz]

Amazing work, Good Job Alan/Tom :)

[KlingongBane]

and hank and kristina! :D

[realinmymind]

this is SO awesome :) seriously i enjoyed this very much. you should set an annotation for a link to itunes to buy this! i lvoe it :)

[bethhasablog]

I'm utterly in love with the mirror song <3

[GeekiGothJussi]

dude, that's awesome. i already own the CD, but this is a great idea.

[jbdazen]

Very good idea Alan. I bet this will up the sales some :-)

[fallofautumndistro]

Let's hope, or I've doomed the album to fail!

[jenjen5678]

Its sort of a Beatlesesque feel to it. I really dig it.

[emmfan09]

Thank you for putting this out here, Alan! I am so sorry I haven't bought the CD yet, but I definitely am quite soon! Haha I really like all the tracks. I forgot, as far as the music went, did you write it or did Tom? I know you said you two collaborated back and forth, but I just wanted to know who scored the initial music. Anyways, great job, for sure! You and Tom did really well.

[fallofautumndistro]

I sent Tom all of these songs as acoustic demos. He built and wrote the final music off of those. Admittedly, he rewrote almost all of the original music I sent him.

[colormekristen]

Alan.. you are the video/internet/music/marketing­/whateverelse GURU MASTERRRR!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Kristen! <3

[eessnkayy]

Great video, yeah?

But you know what I would like to see more of? Your Kinetic typography. Those are real amazing.

[fallofautumndistro]

I'm sure it will be here again in the future, but it's such a long and involved process.

[eessnkayy]

Its surely worth the wait (:

[NathanIsReallyBored]

Wow!! Thanks very much for putting it all up!! Everytime I ear "Can't" I always think of the Pink Floyd's "Money" because of how they used all the cash registers and how you used the printer.

"The Mirror Song" is probably my favorite track on the EP. Overall I'd give it 11 out of 10. Why 11? 11 because Spinal Tap references pwn

[fallofautumndistro]

W00, eleven!

[jbdazen]

"It's one more than ten you know!" lol :P

[AnneFTW]

This is pretty good ^_^

Great job guys =]

[ofcoursecali]

AMAZING.

[shecandoitall]

I think 'Can't' is still my favourite from this ep. =] <3

[annatheHPtwerdfightr]

hmm "Just a Boy" is my favorite song, but it's a different song, performed by Angus and Julia Stone

[piratewhore]

This is amazing!!

[vamposaurr]

This is absolutely amazing. Thank youuu. <3

[8Jouketje8]

Kind of makes me think of beatles and the likes. At least the lyrics do. You did a really good job on this one!
