  • This shit is dumb. Anyone who likes this obviously masturbates to gay porn in their mother's basement. I mean what's up with that thing under his nose? Did someone give him a dirty sanchez? Seriously, I mean what the fuck? This isn't fucking music. Well, I should saying that this is Satan's music. I get more pleasure from licking a sweaty, smelly, middle-age, and hairy taint than watching this.

  • This is poetry, not music. He's talking, not singing.

  • @steffiRIOT Ever hear old-school rap? You know nothing about music.Expressional music can be a random mix of tunes put together.

  • @konstbild Yes I have. And yes, I do know a lot about music. But it's no use in trying to defend myself against you. Since you have such a high opinion of this person. I wasn't saying anything bad about this man. I was just simply putting that this is clearly not music, but reciting his poetry. Nothing wrong with that at all. I have a high respect for arts such as poetry.

  • @steffiRIOT The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus ... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be.

  • @steffiRIOT dude i agree but i think he's not just talking. Its more than that.

  • @Hessekimojo I agree, it's very passionate. I don't know how to explain it, but it's in between music and straight up talking.

  • @steffiRIOT Get a brain bitch. Its a thin line between this and poetry. But this is music. His lyrics are written as poetry but the way its recited and played with instruments makes this music.

  • @etfbtf There's also a thin line between this and the noise I made when I took a healthy sized dump this morning. This may be written as poetry, but it's recited like a jackass on LSD.

  • @etfbtf I have a brain, just because I have a different opinion than you does not make my intelligence any less. You may think it's music, I think it's reciting poetry. If I were to sit here and just talk, put in some guitars and drums does that make it music? No.

  • this song makes me cry

  • I am speechless, he makes me upset to my stomach but in a good way...

  • So. Cool. NARGH!

  • This is my favorite Listener song (which is a pretty intense statement considering how much incredible music they have). It just completely captures the pure essence of the human condition and how it feels to live life. I don't really even have words to describe it. But I do know one thing:

    "These machines will rust in time

    But I promise we'll still be electric,

    Shocking each other back to life."

  • reminds me of mewithoutyou :)

  • this is poetry in its purest self

    it's unbelievably emotionally and heavy loaded

    but it's utter perfection

  • For anyone who really doesn't understand the English language (grammar, diction, alliteration, etc.), Listener isn't for you.

  • chris you're not drinking all that beer.

  • Dude goddamn. I haven't teared up in YEARS. I have to say I did while watching this. Man. this is some heavy shit.

  • I enjoy this

  • I enjoy this

  • I enjoy this

  • after watching this video, i sat there for about 20 seconds and thought to myself. This guy is powerful, not only does he have the most elaborate poems, but he also shows insane emotion while remembering them. Bands like this bleed talent, in a world like today, they're bound to stand out and cause comotion.

    and I thank youtube for letting me stumble upon this

  • Truly outstanding. Possibly the most amazing heartfelt words i have ever heard.

  • @LNOL So you're saying that all the members of Listener love sucking at life?

  • This is actually outstanding. Just look past it being something a little bit different, and you realize that it's beautiful.

  • The guitarist has got to be thinking FML.

  • @dangerzonesupervisor You don't join a band like Listener if you don't love what you do.

  • ...is this a joke? 

  • @hannahh2000 its called spoken word poetry.

  • @hannahh2000 No. Are you?

  • @hannahh2000 Oh..... you....

  • youtube is for haters. not everyone gets this, and thats fine. i dont understand why people like justin beiber, we all have different views. but just think about those first 2 lines.

    We're all born to broken people on their most honest day of living.

    and since that first breath we'll need grace we've never given.

    those are the most honest and deepest lyrics i've heard in a long time.

    And his mustache is amazing!

  • Ok the words aren't that bad... but like @disluxia said... this delivery is TERRIBLE. I mean i like his passion, and the music to it was good but.. aghhh i just hated this.

  • Music for ex christian metalcore kids to pretend to be deep too. The deliver of this dudes poetry is retarded

  • @disluxia then listen to something else asshole

  • so. like. um. i love all of you guys. <3

  • well that one really touched me

  • To anybody who dislikes this:

    Why comment on it in the first place? Leave this to the people who do like it, like me, because it's a form of expression, and it's beautiful. If you don't agree, I won't try to change your mind, or opinion of him. I personally enjoy him, if you don't, there's no need to amplify your opinions on others.

  • @FluffyMuffina Because this a place for expression. If you can't understand that then you're in the wrong place.

  • @Faddisify I understand a place for expression, but the majority of us don't want see negativity on something we find positive. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for freedom of expression, but I personally don't think this is the appropriate place. That's only my opinion though.

    I'm only one guy, I know I won't change anyone's minds with this, but like you said, it is for freedom of expression. So I expressed my views.

  • I think this guy was with The chariot at a show that i was at. and he did a poem. Can anyone help me out?

  • @strivemyatlantis It's on the song David De La Hoz, although I'm not sure if it was a different poem or what that segment is called.

  • @strivemyatlantis Yea he has a song with The Chariot called David De La Hoz

  • I wonder if anyone did try and stop him from writing this. haha

  • @2Paris4now I wish someone would have stopped him. I feel like my ears just got raped.

  • He sounds like the scientist in the Simpsons when he talks

  • what kind of camera did you use?

  • His mustache has more talent then most rappers and pop artist

  • @WHTMBassist "This made me teary eye"? So, you have no grammatical skills, and you're a cyclops.

  • is he the man from mewithoutyou? i've been wondering for a while XD

  • the best music is the most poetic.

  • @speciesofpositive Nice comeback. Just like all your other ones. #sarcasm

  • This gives me as much satisfaction as cutting my balls off with a dull, wooden spoon and forcively sewing them back in place through my ears.

  • Just unbelievably beautiful.

  • @katelynmaex Are you by chance deaf? After listening to this "song," I wish i was.

  • Listener is horrible music.

    a poet most definitely.

    i have good taste in music, so ill give it a chance.

    Someone link me a decent song from Listener.

  • @BaBuhLin To me, this is gold. But, give "I don't want to live forever" a try! c:

  • @speciesofpositive Actually, he is. At least he doesn't get up on stage in front of a silent crowd and babble, no, rant? I don't even know how to describe what this retard does. But when there are dumbfucks like you in the world, FOD IS in fact a meaningful acronym.

  • @speciesofpositive FOD stands for fuck off and die, just so ya know. Someone like you probably gets told that a lot so I'm surprised you're not familiar with it.

  • @emiester21 Ah, yes. That's the kind of depth I was expecting from a greenday acronym. That Billy fella is some kind of poet.

  • @speciesofpositive I can respect that you don't like Green Day. It's your opinion, I'm not going to bitch and moan about your opinion like other people did about mine. However, I will point out what is obvious to me when someone directs a negative comment at me. I've been willing to back off, and I think this song would be great if it was spoken normal. Despite me saying this, I'm sure some other Listener fan will respond to one of my older comments and get me riled up after I post this.

  • @matthewlee96 Well, now. You don't want to get too riled up.

  • @speciesofpositive I'll put it simple for you, since you must be a little slow for even thinking for a second that this is a legitimate song. Green Day makes music, Listener sounds like a tone deaf teenager tripping on every drug imaginable. I think i still may have given listener too much credit.

  • @MasterBraster76 Haha. this isn't my first day on the internet, kiddo. I know you're kidding me.

  • @speciesofpositive You know, I'm gonna stick my nose in someone else's business and say good one. I wish I had comebacks as original as that one.

  • hands down the most beautiful thing i have ever seen on youtube. thank you

  • it's kid of awkward live yet is beautiful.

    music is already art (for the dumb ass below me)

    and something like art that's made out of emotions and opinions CAN suck for some but it might as well be everything to other, people just need to start respecting and stop hating.

  • Comment removed

  • @BGskits This is stupid? Nice one!

  • Comment removed

  • All I hear is a bunch of fuckin screaming an its like poetry? Wow there really are some dumbass people out there

  • @zoels Your mental incapability (and actually, that's perfect grammar) makes me sad. But then again, retards like you make life fun :) And thanks! I know it was a nice one.

  • It makes sense why a lot of people wouldnt like this when i first heard i thought what is this? but it grew on me and its not supposed to be singing its poetry or spoken word with some music set to it. its very strange and very hard to understand but everyone will have their own opinion about it, but dont be a dick and say that this is shit and no one should like it cause then you just look like a douche.

  • @zoels Ps. We have to cut you some slack for mental incapability is perfect grammar. See, we'll play third grade and I'll show you: Your mental incapability (meaning the state of being incapable) is a handicap (meaning bad thing). Yay! We've hereby decreased your mental incapabability by a little bit.

  • @zoels Sorry bro. I wish I spent all my time sitting there making sure my grammar and spelling are right.

  • I don't hate it,

    I don't love it, I do however, appreciate it.

  • Dumbest fuckin video I've ever fucking seen in my entire life

  • See guys, the thing about art is that it's subjective. Making objective statements equivalent to "this crap sucks, anyone who enjoys it or appreciates it is dumb" is rude and ignorant. But hey, I guess that's what youtube comments are for right?

  • @zoels Yeah, these people commenting negatively are VERY ignorant. I like it, I think it's inspiring. It takes a lot to put emotions out there in such a different way. To each his own, i suppose.

  • This song just isn't happening for me. I agree with matthewlee96.....

  • Wow this is so not touching at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No tears are fallin for me!

  • Guy's dont hate on this video in the comments this is christian music so its wrong and hes amazing and its a oppinion if you like nad and if you have nothing to say then dont say it at all

  • @zoels Well I am sure that the 15 year old's "mental capacity" is far larger than a person that thinks this crap is good!

  • @zoels I've never heard a comeback as lame as "I've never heard a comeback as lame as this one," But then again, you listen to Listener, so we have to cut you some slack for mental incapability.

  • @emiester21 it's either "mental incapacity" or "mentally incapable". nice one!

  • @zoels If you're going to nitpick I'll just point out that, traditionally, the first word in a sentence is capitalized.

  • @Sproeikoei Yeah, sure, I'll claim ignorance. Usually if "art" is just fucking stupid I'll ignore it, but Listener caught my attention. It was so beyond any kind of art-labeled shit that it deserved a few words.

  • @zoels I seen kindergartners catch on faster than you.

  • I WANT TO TOUCH YOUR MOUSTACHE

  • @Emericanization Shut the fuck up. I don't even like Wiz Khalifa, but it's still better than this shit. At least Wiz only talks about getting high instead of performing that way.

  • guys, lets give matthewlee96 a break, he's only 15

  • @zoels Thanks bro. I'd ask you how old you are but I doubt you can count that high.

  • @matthewlee96 I don't understand... is that supposed to be a come back?

  • @zoels I'm sorry you don't get it. I'll dumb it down for you so you might be able to figure out what I was saying. I'M INSINUATING (sorry if that word's too big) THAT YOU ARE NOT VERY INTELLIGENT (that mean's not very smart.) There you go, I hope you now understand what I said. If not...well I guess you'll prove what I said.

  • @matthewlee96 i've just never heard a comeback as lame as that one, I thought there must have been more to it. I guess I gave you more credit than you deserved.

  • @matthewlee96 I don't think anyone here really gives a shit about your taste in music. It's cool man. I'm sure you're backing your statement with Wiz Khalifa playing loudly in your room. Shut your mouth, close your eyes, and relate to this gentleman's pain. It's fairly simple. No need to get technical or bent out of shape.

  • @Emericanization Sounds like you're more bent out of shape than me. I just wish I knew what a Wiz Khalifa is. But you're right I just need to shut my mouth, close my eyes, and plug my ears when I listen to this.

  • Comment removed

  • is listener christain?

  • @maniacalXmiscreation does it matter?

  • @WHTMBassist I was just wondering lol

  • People don't dislike this because it's not played on the radio. They don't like it because it's not really music. It's spoken word. I don't listen to a lot of mainstream music and I listen to a lot of bands most people have never heard of. Despite that, I still haven't been able to really get into this. but I can respect what this guy is trying to do. I'm not sure what that is yet, but it still has more views than the bands I listen to.

  • @matthewlee96 To say that this isn't music just tells me you don't know what music is! The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion is what music is. So get your facts straight before you judge:)

  • @porkshack44 I would like this a lot more if he just called it poetry. It's just that I prefer music that is pleasing to the ear...sorry for my ignorance.

  • is he on crack or is the guy that made him a bitch in prison there at his "concert"? cuz he is tweeking

  • @SuperJayman7777 He's being taken control by the music<3

  • @matthewlee96 No, not at all. Operation Ivy is godly compared to this defocation of the mouth.

  • idk, maybe its like Operation Ivy, the more you listen the better it gets.

  • @2012cherrybomb I don't think this is like Op Ivy at all...and not in a good way.

  • holy **** mother ****** i just **** myself after listening to this. titty **** my ******* how ungodly aweful can something be????? there went my lunch too, mother ******!!!! it just made me have an abortion!!!

  • Mustache.

  • Wow this reminds me of what I sound like when taking a shit only worse

  • I think im gonna vomit, this is the worst song ever. The best part was the end of the video, when this garbage stopped playing.

    

  • Everyone! He is going to say this with his words haha douche... I also have a question.. Does he do drugs or something? lol

  • @NaruAMV1 And by the way, after checking your channel I understand your point of view. Listening to a retard rant in the microphone is probably a nice break from being a homosexual goth.

  • @NaruAMV1 Aaaand, here come the high-ass trippers that shoot themselves up to this guy's beat. Oh wait, THERE IS NO BEAT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT MUSIC!

  • @emiester21

    So it's only music when it has a beat? Please oh mighty knowledge keeper, explain to us what the essence of music holds.

  • @Sproeikoei I guess in certain cases you can have music without a beat (I'll say that just to satisfy you). But this is definitely not one of those cases. That's like calling any expression art. So therefore, my heaping shit I took this morning can be compared to the Mona Lisa.

  • @emiester21

    Well I don't think art can ever be compared. Would you compare Mozart to Beethoven? Then again, pretty much anything you can think of is possible these days.

    You do not have to satisfy me (although I like the hollow idea of it). I guess some people are just straight ignorant, which helps them claim facts as to what is and what isn't art.

  • reminds me of allen ginsbergs early work

  • If you can't see the amount of passion and emotion this man puts into his music, then move along.

    You're entilted to your opinion, but don't openly bash someone who is living their dream, and pouring their entire being into what they do.

    This is music.

    This is poetry.

    This is real.

    Not like that shit you hear on the radio.

    This. IS. Music.

    <3

  • @TheBrittneyterry He's solid. If by solid, you mean absolutely horrendous.

  • Comment removed

  • I found out where pubic hair goes when it goes down the drain.

  • His singing is the BBW portion of the porn world: The people that watch it think it's beautiful, but to normal people, it's just fucked up shit. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • its crazy, i cant stop you from writting a song...but what you cant stop me from not listening to this poor excuse of what u call music, i call it diarrhea noises coming out of you mouth that is located under your 1970's pornstar mustache

  • I'm proud to be one of the first few people to dislike this song. Thumbs up if you are too.

  • @matthewlee96 Why so proud that you have bad taste in art/music? That's not something I'd generally share with people, let alone be proud of....Just sayin'

  • @frankensteinmoneymac You're the one that likes this and I'm the one with bad taste in music? Can you honestly say that this is an artist, who, you would buy his cd, and you would listen to while singing along? I'm sorry. but I don't see being possible. And just so you know I'm not proud because I have bad taste in "art/music" (whatever the hell that means), I'm proud to not like music that sucks hairy ass.

  • most people hear the shitty music when they listen to this song... i hear this too. but i also hear the silent crowd

  • I don't even know how to respond.. Not because it was good, but mortifying.. This shit is Fucking dumb.. This isn't even music! Just yelling, with a shitty guitar line here and there.. Fucking Gay.

  • his appeal is for people who have gone through harder times than you might have and relate to the lyrics. to truly understand this you cant be a close minded stuck up piece of shit.

  • @wewillallbefamous6 Yeah, to truly understand this, you have to be an emo poser who thinks his troubles are more important than anyone else's in the world.

  • @emiester21 Or you have to simply understand the world around you, and not be blind to all but yourself.

    Why even bother hate?

    If you don't like his music..fine, it's easy to exit out.

  • @wewillallbefamous6 Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. It's cute that you think that (;

  • @CthulhuDarkLord This brought tears to my eyes too... Cause I was so busy laughing my ass off.

  • @matthewlee96 Completely agreed. My dead, asthmatic great grandmother could... "sing" better than than this drunken excuse for an artist.

  • @emiester21 Yeah I'm not sure if it's singing as much as annoyingly emphasizing words while he yells and moans into the mic.

  • This is a video I couldn't wait to show my friends. Not because it's good, but because I burst out laughing every time he starts to sing.

  • @matthewlee96 Okay, Mr. Greenday. I'm glad you can get a laugh from it since you obviously can't take anything else from it.

  • @speciesofpositive That's not true. I didn't just get a laugh from this, I also got a headache. It's people like you that caused me to hit the like button on the song F.O.D. by Green Day.

  • @matthewlee96 Not familiar. I have always had good tastes.

  • can someone please explain the appeal? like...the poetry is good but the voice just kills me. is it more so about the lyrics?

  • @scarletbrigadefilms His passion behind the words. He is genuine.

  • @scarletbrigadefilms The lyrics are certainly what makes it come together but his voice is genuine. He's just a simple dude with beautiful words.

  • I think I like it... But I don't understand the style... Its poetry?

  • @Elijah1595 yeah its a poem

  • @Elijah1595 no its abortion

  • My savior calmed the seas and walked on water.

    What the hell are you using wood for?

  • @Callihan343 Dude, what you just said is totally irrelevant to this song. Ask me why if you want, but PM me instead. Im not trying to make you look bad or anything.

  • this brought tears to my eyes. he is life changing.

    such an inspiring man with an amazing gift.

    beautiful. <3

  • i dont c people lookin your music up so shut your ignorant ass up

  • Comment removed

  • This is so mainstream!

  • @WookiebookieTube your fuckin main stream lame ass

  • @metafour8O1nvs Hahahaha, Wookie you so silly.

  • The condition that our world is in that a guy can't have passion for his art without some form of artificial injection or physical condition. Dan and Josh Scogin are some of the few true poets in this country. Respect them.

  • This is perfect. Made me teary eye.

  • @WHTMBassist What, are you a grammatically challenged cyclops?

  • @emiester21 I do not understand your reply to my comment. What was wrong with my comment exactly? 

  • I'm not afraid to admit this brought a tear to my eye, Very powerful, very well written, sets a mood so well... This is just plain beautiful.

  • Absoutely amazing
