  • you either love chris carrabbas voice or hate it. I love it.

  • i like this band but they get overly Emo to much to be frank they sound like the definition of it. i'm sorry to all those peolple who cry because someone called a band they like emo, not looking to argue

  • Not starting an argument here, but what is the definition of emo music?

  • Oh man this has to be 1 of the worst songs I've ever heard in my whole frickin life - no wonder college music has lost its flash these days - my ears bleed now!!!!

  • dang dude, sorry bout your ears. I heard thats a symptom of aids.

  • I can't believe this song was played on that shitty All Things Rock hosted by those posers Good Charlotte?! How in the frick does this song rock?!! This song's motherfrickin soft rock!!! I mean come on - I've heard heavier songs by Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Toto, Bryan Adams, Meatloaf & even Billy Joel than I have this song!!! In Dee Snider's words "If it ain't metal it's crap!!!"

    Also sounds to me that these dudes blatantly ripped off "Going to California" by the mighty Led Zeppelin!!!

  • Even Coldplay's had heavier songs than this & Coldplay is as soft rock as they come!!!! Even the late Dan Fogelberg's had harder rockers than this tune & he's the godfather of soft rock!!!

  • first dashboard song i ever heard..that was 10 years ago..its crazy how songs can bring back so many memories

  • 3:26 sec to 3:28 seconds makes this guy look like a fucking retard even though i love his music. Your halirrr... so gay

  • got to disagree... hes so cute!

  • I among his best song is Belle of the Boulevard

  • omggggggg<3 lol

  • haha wow you people are mindless.

  • I prefer the acoustic version over this one ): I swear his voice is off key the whole time in this one??

  • I agree. The acoustic version does sound smoother, and his voice does sound more in tune with that. This version, though good, just seems a bit "off" I guess you could say. Too slow.

  • You don't know much about music or recording I'm guessing. There's no way his voice is off key anywhere because this was recorded after auto-tune was invented. Any song you will ever hear on the radio is auto-tuned now. Even Ludacris and shit. A manually placed auto-tune makes the voice sit on the pitch and decibel level perfectly so it kind of soars above everything else. And even if it isn't auto-tuned, no producer in his right mind would let something off key out of his studio.

  • @Gusto3791 you are very right I am beginning to record myself, and I have discovered these little tricks. Theres no way he's off-key

  • No I don't, but I do realise that a band aren't going to record, release and make a video for a song where the vocals are off key. I still think they sound weird, but obviously it's intentional, I'm not saying he accidentally sang it wrong on the recording or anything like that.

  • Man, this is awful. He's sharp the whole time!

  • its pretty funny how they all have tyhe same style sideburns haha

    good song tho

  • ur gay

  • hey faggot if its gay then why you looking at it? huh? if its gay i guess that means you like gay things dont you faggot

  • @scottykarate82 you're gay you want to be his fisting bitch

  • he aint watching it his telling you that its gay cant you read you fagget

  • beauitful song even though it makes my heart ache. his gorgeousness makes it feel a little better though :)

  • Holy balls, every music video on youtube has people arguing about a song being emo or not, and what the definition is.

    NO song is gonna appeal to everyone, so everyone should just stop arguing.

    Listen to the music or not. Nobody cares about your opinion on here, and if they do, it's because they agree.

    Damn genres.

    By the way, I like this song =)

    lol

  • BRAVO!!!!! ive never heard it put better

  • they are not an emo band just because they dont sing about sex,drugs or money doesnt mean the song sucks

  • no habla your face bitches

  • He is such a beautiful person.

    Beautiful lyrics,

    Gah.

    Amazing band.

  • please use international langguage even its a internet so we can all understand :)

  • @jonpepe10 English bitch

  • too harsh dude...

    lets think nice things like merry christmas foreign person...

  • Lovin It<33

  • the reason her hair is everywhere cause she does not like to be a dirthead anymore. LawLzzzzz

  • There's always some kind of argument with any music video... either enjoy the video and music or leave. It's Simple.

  • Some planes depart, others never arrive.

  • Who cares if it's emo? I mean, yeah it's emotional music, it's about him getting his heart broken. LAbeling it doesnt make it a better or worse song. It's a beautiful song, dashboard does a bunch of stuff, they are not just an "emo" band. Every one of their albums are different. They like to experiment with their music, and everything they have done sofar has been my favorite =]

  • @guitarlvr82 All songs are emotional, in a way.

  • yeah, if songs showed no emotion they wouldnt be good songs

  • not the complete opposite

    singing about love being broken and shit and can be depressing

  • uhhhh thats the def. for alot of country songs, and other genres so does that make them "emo"

    BTW I don't even think "emo" is a genre.

    bck in the day it used to be a genre for EMotional hardcOre bands

  • hmmm yeah ur correct

  • @sobeisforlovers I don't know why you capitalized EM in emotional and O in hardcore. If it was because you thought thats where the word emo came from then you are wrong. Emotional Hardcore = Emocore = Emo, thats how the word "emo" came about.

  • whats emo after all xD

  • wow that"s one lucky broad. sorry but he"s too cute.

  • I thought they were alternate?

  • the band is not emo they did not want to be labled as a emo band they are a indie rock band retards

  • @antifred555 i dont know if they wanted to be called indie rock band retards...rofl just kidding.

  • Ok, i'm done explaining :P (read from my furthest down post first, srry i didnt think about the order i posted haha)

  • Darkflame...what is wrong with you? Actually posting multiple intellectual comments on to youtube....shame on you. lol I would just like to say that i don't think that this band would fit the "emo" stereo type nowadays. You want bands that do? AFI and 30 Seconds to Mars. I dont know many because I dont listen to "emo" music except for a couple songs. But these guys don't seem to fit the mold that is Emo for todays time.

  • Nah your right. they dont quite fit into it these days. I just posted that stuff so that a future war between haters and...other people doesn't erupt into firey volcanoes of death that would kill us all and much quicker than the kool killer. XP

  • AFI aren't emo, they are alternative. They change their sound with every album. Fair enough they may have some emo lyrics, but whats wrong with wanting to touch peoples hearts with lyrics? :)

  • Many emo songs both admit sadness and revel in it, exhibiting a phobia of women that seems to celebrate a perpetual adolescence:[111] "The singers may pretend to hang themselves out to dry by copping to crying and being sad at night, but in the heightened emo environment, where broken hearts are badges of honor, it's a hollow boast. Their scars are a sign of pride—you're the one onstage bragging about how upset you are—but there's no attempt at actual conversation or relationship building."

  • Today emo is commonly tied to both music and fashion as well as the emo subculture.[98] Usually among teens, the term "emo" is stereotyped with wearing skinny jeans, sometimes in bright colors, and tight t-shirts (usually short-sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands. Studded belts and black wristbands are common accessories in emo fashion. Black Converse sneakers and skate shoes, such as Vans, are popularly worn among people of the emo fashion.

  • "Emo is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s"

  • Ya scene should have never been created. Its really irritating.

  • This is the band is totally "emo" they started it man! wearing girl pants and sreaming isn't emo! its just being a whiny bitch! this is the real stuff

  • this band might be emo but I don't think they started it.

  • further seems forever sucked as well.

  • there's an acoustic version of this which i'm used to, it's so much better actually, i has so much more natural rythym to it, it has more energy but in a subtle way..

  • I can't believe this is almost 10 years old. Damn, i feel old =(

  • quit labeling bands okay!

    its music!

    nothing less.

    i mean sure, i love emo from the rites of spring era to the early 2000's

    but jesus....

  • lol youve just contradicted yourself

  • i know

    because of my page.

    but

    who cares?

    i don't label bands anymore...

    its stupid

    and awfully rude.

  • beautiful. Call it whatever you want, emo, pop, hard core, it doesn't matter. I call it music.

  • Exactly (:

  • If you think this is "emo" in any way... I'll just have to agree to disagree with you.

  • it is emo, emo ultimately developed in two real ways, the indie scene with bands like american football who left remnants like dashboard, than screamo, real screamo like saetia, neil perry, love lost but not forgotten, joshua fit for battle etc.... it really has alot of roots in traditional emo, its a music predominantly founded in melodies, vibrant and kind of whiny and clean toned.

  • finally someone who knows their shit

  • I stopped reading after ''Girly'' . This isnt emo. Emo is short for emotional. It may be emotional in some ways, doesnt make it emo. Its not girly shiz. Its pretty good. If you dont like it, go away. No need to throw out your shitty opinion if your just gonna sound stupid to people who actually like this stuff.

  • ...are you kidding? Dashboard was like one of the founding fathers of the emo music scene. The term emo has lost a lot of what it means since then. These days "emo" and "scene" are practically one and the same. Despite this, the label "emo" doesn't make this song any better or any worse than it was before.

  • I love the live album that has this song on it. I listen to it often. I think the live version is better actually, maybe because I'm more used to it.

  • DBS rule

  • just found bout this band...loved them. sad they don't play such bands here in india..only suckers like black peas..

  • @mprasad35 ugh.i know...heard lamb og god could perform next year in hyderabad tho. :D

  • @mprasad35  lamb of god*

  • its awesome how we all gather automatically all the emo kids.

    ah, im not making fun of emos...im one of em..

  • Nope. You aren't. You're a poser. Honestly, a true emo doesn't go around flaunting the fact that he/she is an emo.

  • IM A TRUE EMO YEAAAAAH DEDICATED

  • isnt everyone an emo, unless your a fucking robot of course

  • what kinda emo kid goes and tells the whole world that theyre emo?

    yeaaaa

    no offence but your retared

  • I just found out about this band today, and this is the third video i see. all i can say is WOW beautiful songs and very pretty videos.

  • gaah. i mean its sad that only discovered em today, but im glad you like them =]]]]

    i love DC <3

  • i wish the girl i love would stop seeing her ex :(

  • That sux don't it? Been there, got the broken heart to prove it.

  • sure does. its kinda comforting to know i'm not alone in this. thanks man.

  • yeah yeah yeah - I been married twice - BUST BUST - now I'm in love with a girl who only talks to me when she needs to bitch about her ex. Ain't life grand?

  • and you just have to listen to her dont you. i do but i play it down when she talks about her ex to me. and i make it very subtly understood that i couldnt care less about her ex.

  • Ah yeah, made that clear, but if she aint talking bout him shes just not talking and I NEEEEEED to hear her talk and I just suck as a human being.

  • i'm sure you dont suck as a human being :) saying that''s being a bit too extreme hahaha...

    just try talking to her about stuff she likes. and make lotsa jokes to distract her and make her fall for you even more. she'll certainly talk too! ;)

  • Yeah, all we can do is hold on and be there. And that sucks. Just hold on and be there, just do it.

  • yes true that. and painful as it is, we gotta keep at it. they never know how painful it is.

  • he's so pretty :)

  • omg how do i look like chris!?!?!?!

  • o_e

  • Just amazing (shrugs) Such an amazing writer and performer... and that voice!

    you are so beautiful Chris! :)

  • great song?

  • YES!! Great song.

  • xD true!

  • yo.

  • i remember when my friends would go threw a break up they would play this song loud in their rooms on loop for hours. then they would get back with their bfs or gfs the next day. pretty ridiculous.

  • whos the other guitarist? thats not john lefler

  • 0:41 ish - I absolutely love his facial expression.

    Dashboard have to be one of my favourite bands ever; musical genius'.

  • Comment removed

  • Why the hell is Bullet for My Valentine even being mentioned on this video.

    Retarded.

    Stop making comparisons that are incomparable.

    Listen and enjoy the music. Forget about the thousand genre's people try to create for music to make them feel special on youtube. Take in what the music means. Enough said.

  • nailed it bro

  • lead singer is gourgeous. beautiful song, btw.

  • Lead singer is like 5'4

  • just saw them in louisville.... love dashboard!!!

  • Im sorry just to say something really random to the people fighting over Bullet for my valintine..

    1:BFMV Is nothing like this band..

    2 The really poser band thats like Dashboard confessional is Secondhand serenade. Cause really listen to them.. The sound EXSACTLY the same.. exsept moppier

  • when i broke up with my girlfriend this song played randomly on my ipod..... i couldnt stand it i cryied and told her to make up =)

  • i feel ya brro

  • legion of doom make a good mix on this song, called the quiet screaming

  • First off; BFMV is wayyy mild.

    Second off; In lyrical genius BFMV is way bellow these guys.

    Third off; Both bands are really corny, but hey whatever.

  • bullet for my valentine is a poser band. dashboard confessional is the real deal. bullet for my valentine is just another of those crappy bands that have been popular these days. dashboard confessional has been here before bullet for my valentine was even born.

  • @liddoxpenguin

    why would you even reply to BustaNuttz,, they're not even in the same genre, so why bother comparing them!?

  • true that.

  • i think saying that they was there before they was born is a bit too far lol

  • you cant compare the two, there nothing alike you idiot.

  • this song makes me cry ;(

    i'm so sorry.

  • love this song <3

  • I never thought there was anything wrong with "emo" -- either you understand or you don't...take it as it is...

  • 00:42<3

  • the faster version is 10 times better..

  • omg i forgot about this song havent heard it since high school wow

  • Yeah....me too actuall... just remembered about it and just looked it up

  • Legion of Doom - The Quiet Screaming is a great mashup of this song and Brand New's The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows, you guys should look it up

  • The mashup beats this original imo

  • despite what you wanna say about dashboard, bottom line, they are really good guitar players.

    and i would know because i play guitar myself.

  • I love how all of you try to classify music and how you think "emo" is still codeword for bad and awful pop music. Listen to music you like, don't just stay in the confines of genres and such. I don't have any specific type of music I like, I just love music that inspires me and relates to me in some way, and that, to me, is all that should matter with music.

  • i always had other musical influences in my life but i have been strictly listening to rap mostly but i have been exppanding and i agree with you

  • Well said. Listen to what speaks to you.

    <3

  • Exactly. I hate it when people classify stuff as 'emo' just because they don't like it. They don't even know what 'emo' means. It means Emotional Hardcore, which is a genre of music. The fact is, I like this song, so I'm going to listen to it. I'm not forcing anyone to watch it, so why do they feel the need to insult it?

  • Comment removed

  • love the starting!!

  • Reminds me of my ex... lol... guess this makes me emo? ha ha (cut wrist)

  • oh, haha, you're so funny (rolls eyes)

  • reminds me of mine too, it doesnt make you emo, just means you miss them.

  • the version by The Leigon of Doom is way better

  • didnt know hawk and animal from the wwf sang..

  • his eyebrows are huge-ish

  • its only emo if you think its emo. its emo to me because thats the way i translate, espiecially cuz of this horrible mood im in.

  • i love the mashup of this song (:

  • This isnt emo, if you listen to emo music you would understand

    not that i do

  • you have a skewed view of what "emo" is.... any music is emo dude.... as long as it has any sort of emotion... but emo as a genre, that would be bands like; Dashboard, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, Sunny day real estate, stuff like that

  • ???!!!!!! jimmy eat world...hahahahahaha sooo not emo bro..so not emo. besides they haven't done anything since like '01....

  • you obviously don't know your music genres. clarity is one of the biggest emo cd ever released.

  • @broc92592 though i hate classifying bands and all that crap, jimmy eat world was basically one of the pioneer bands of Emo music

  • Better just he and his guitar,

  • I totally agree man... Not bad... But the days of Chris and his guitar were good ones.

  • the legion's remix is better than this...

  • true =)

  • Such a HIT!

  • oh my gosh i love this song. btw, he's sooooo hot :]

    <3 .ex.oh.

  • dashboard forever love they're all songs... xD

  • god i used to love the shit of some dashboard....now i listen to house and electro...what does that say about the current music machine?

  • @Ryandarula...Wrong!

    It's across the jugular.

  • lol you guys take this stuff too serious. The music is whats important, if you dig it cool, you dont have to care about critics

  • syang di pedd i emebed

  • shut the fuck up ryandarula...you dont know...im sure "emos" have been through more shit than you

  • i wish i could see what eat bacon said now.. damnit youtube stop denying me my right to read other comments

  • actually its "Dont cross the street, Go down the road."

  • seriously can we focus on the greatness of dashboard? I mean they are an amazing band and trailing of the subject of music is pointless. Its youtube ppl.

  • why don't you do it yourself eatsoftbacon!

  • thats very mean

  • dude calm the fuck down

  • Dashboard isn't very emo. People who cut themselves have a mental disorder and its a dangerous idea to suggest these things to them.
