I think this was the most exciting live so far.... You never know what he's gonna sing next... As much as I love DCFC Songs, i hope he'll cover more songs (not just Sundays)... Love you Ben! Thank you so much for what you are doing!
i have to admit i'm a little disappointed Ben didn't play my request which was Archers of Loaf -chumming the oceans... :( could i re-request it for tonight's stream please?
Can you please tell us which artists you have a personal real life relationship/friendship with and a little background? I know you've worked with Jenny from Rilo Kiley

Elliott's music was and still is awfully important to me as well. Gone too soon. This cover was great. Ben Folds' "Late" reflects a lot of sentiment I had toward Elliott and his music. If you haven't heard that, I encourage you give it a listen.
TheDarksage1978 Damn. Ben is another fav of mine and “Landed” is one of my favorite tracks from that album; but “Late”? Ben even weaves Elliot’s lyrical cadence into the song. An excellent tribute. Thank you for pointing me there.
Ben singing New Slang by The Shins is something I never knew I needed but is like the emoist thing in the history of the world and I f’n love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was looking at the set list for this and I was like "where do I know that from??" And then he started and I was dying with laughter. That was awesome. Thanks Ben!
Donated on your behalf. Just wanted to say thank you for doing these. Artists and musicians giving their talent to the world through music and art during this crazy time is incredibly heartwarming. Thank you, Ben. See you tomorrow.
These live streams are great. I've always liked some Death Cab songs but I've never listened to much of their music besides the big songs. Yet I find myself watching these live streams almost everyday.
Ben, you did a great job with New Slang. I was singing along and felt the pain of how deceptively easy it seems. Can you please play Each Coming Night by Iron & Wine? Thx! D'Arcy
Thank you for hosting these and spreading good vibes! I’m up in Bellingham and these sessions are helping pass the time cooped up. I’d love if you did a cover by any of these cool people... Peter Gabriel, Fleet Foxes, Manchester Orchestra, Bright Eyes, Avett Brothers, and Blind Pilot. Please and thank you!
Idk if he mentioned it in the livestream but it's so interesting that he covered Lennon and Harrison/Dylan, who influenced Elliott Smith, and then Phoebe Bridgers who was in turn influenced by Smith
Thanks, Ben. As inspired by your t-shirt (which I want!)... how about Taste of Cindy or Under The April Skies or Happy When It Rains? Or any TJAMC song you like. That would make my day. Thanks!
Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize?" helped me to cope with my grandpa's cancer diagnosis and death back in 2012. Ben's sets are helping me to go through this mess we are all in, and listening to his cover of that gorgeous song broke me (in the best way possible). Thank you so much, Ben.
Ben, thanks for doing these. I'm really enjoying the intimacy of these performances and your commentary. I've loved your music since I first heard "Your New Twin Sized Bed", but I'm really starting to love the man behind the music. Be well.
I remember finding a recording of ben playing silver linings live AGES ago and jankily saving a muffled live take just cause i loved the cover so much, so happy to hear it again!
Ben, brother! I believe your sound is captured only by your smartphone's mic, not by those mics you set up in your room. All the sessions you've done so far are that way. I am happy you're doing them and very grateful, but I think the sound is not what you intended it to be.
When my baby boy cries in the car, Hysteria by Def Leppard is our go-to song that he loves and stops him crying 🥰 Ben covers it now I’m the one getting emotional 😭
LOVE the Jesus and Mary Chain tee, but more than that I love all of you early aughts PNW artists. You all mean so very much to me and have soundtracked a lot of my life.
Thank you so much for doing these covers. New Slang was incredible; the skill of pushing thru subtle musical errors makes music beautiful. I hear something real, and I love it. It why people love vinal. Its real. Thank you for putting yourself out there!!

Thanks!
Thanks.
Thank you!
You should point out that new slang was a covered ofthe shin's
Elliot is another artist we lost way too soon. I’m sure he’d be proud of that cover, Ben. Great work.
Cucamonga Duke meaning Elliot Smith? If so, totally agree !
Cucamonga Duke word they share similar story telling themes In their music
Elliott's music was and still is awfully important to me as well. Gone too soon. This cover was great.
Ben Folds' "Late" reflects a lot of sentiment I had toward Elliott and his music. If you haven't heard that, I encourage you give it a listen.
TheDarksage1978 Damn. Ben is another fav of mine and “Landed” is one of my favorite tracks from that album; but “Late”? Ben even weaves Elliot’s lyrical cadence into the song. An excellent tribute. Thank you for pointing me there.
Ben singing New Slang. Is that everything I asked for life? My two fav bands. It was messy but that was lovely.
I was not expecting Phoebe Bridgers!!! Love it!
Motion Sickness is a really powerful Phoebe Bridgers song. I’m honored to have heard it live covered by you Ben.
Ben singing New Slang by The Shins is something I never knew I needed but is like the emoist thing in the history of the world and I f’n love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The shin's did a cover of the postal service way back when
S W Ohhhh I totally forgot about that! Yes they did!
Woah! Waltz #2?? Thank you so much for this.
Solange leaf iveggues
Solange hile
This really cheered me up, but NOT OUT.
I was looking at the set list for this and I was like "where do I know that from??" And then he started and I was dying with laughter. That was awesome. Thanks Ben!
When Ben said "this is a song by my buddy Wayne" and then started Do You Realize I almost lost it. Just fantastic.
I cannot believe you did the bones are the skeletons money, that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen hahaha
Up, but NOT out!
Wow. That waltz #2 was so beautiful!
Donated on your behalf. Just wanted to say thank you for doing these. Artists and musicians giving their talent to the world through music and art during this crazy time is incredibly heartwarming. Thank you, Ben. See you tomorrow.
Agreed! We need you guys right now!
MOTION SICKNESS COVER!!!!! Ben Gibbard is a national treasure!!!
These intimate, acoustic love letters are saving my psyche. So grateful to all these artists for this emotional balm
Makes me feel better about my little guitar, too.
These live streams are great. I've always liked some Death Cab songs but I've never listened to much of their music besides the big songs. Yet I find myself watching these live streams almost everyday.
Ben is the simply the best we have right now. What an amazing talent singing all of my favorite songs in his inimitable style. DC Forever.
I look forward to listening every day to Ben’s live concerts. This will forever be my time stamped in my memory.
Wow. That Rilo Kiley cover was everything I ever needed.
Thank you so much for helping to support our clinic, we truly appreciate it!!!!
Waltz #2!!! This is awesome..this is like my daily playlist I listen to lol so cool
The flaming lips cover is a so good thank you for doing it ☺️
Country Doc is a great cause, and I never knew I needed Ben singing "Thirteen" so sweetly. Beautiful!
Ben Gibbard and The Shins are my top favorite bands and oh my gosh I can't believe you just combined those two things
Still praying for a bright eyes cover.
He already did an Elliott Smith cover. If he covers Conor Oberst, I will die a happy man.
I really really want him to play something of Conor's solo stuff, specially from Ruminations.
yessss i would also be so happy with a better oblivion cover or a mystic valley band cover
Thanks for Waltz #2! I’m one of the folks who requested it- one of my favorites ❤️
This is an incredible cover of Waltz No. 2 Xo. I adored this!
Ben, you did a great job with New Slang. I was singing along and felt the pain of how deceptively easy it seems. Can you please play Each Coming Night by Iron & Wine? Thx! D'Arcy
Thank you for hosting these and spreading good vibes! I’m up in Bellingham and these sessions are helping pass the time cooped up. I’d love if you did a cover by any of these cool people... Peter Gabriel, Fleet Foxes, Manchester Orchestra, Bright Eyes, Avett Brothers, and Blind Pilot. Please and thank you!
I think Ben is a lot like the Lennon of out generation. A beautiful artist/human being inside and out.
The Nimble Ninja Just gonna go ahead and skip a step. local.theonion.com/man-always-gets-little-rush-out-of-telling-people-john-1819578998
All amazing choices!! Hoping for Nada Surf next week
New Slang and XO were so beautiful - Thank You. As a fan for 20 years, so special to see you play acoustic like this =)
That shins cover was so great!!
Guided by Voices - Smothered in Hugs
BLESS YOU BEN.!
i love so much that he played elliot smith!
Waltz #2 (XO)-- Thank you for the ode to Elliott Smith and for doing it justice ❤🖤
My heart is bursting with happiness 🖤🖤🖤
Do you realise? Absolutely stunning
Getting to see Ben do a live cover of Def Leppard - what a world we live in
Idk if he mentioned it in the livestream but it's so interesting that he covered Lennon and Harrison/Dylan, who influenced Elliott Smith, and then Phoebe Bridgers who was in turn influenced by Smith
Thanks Ben. You are appreciate
I would abolutly love to hear you sing Saturn by Sleeping at Last! Lots of Love from Poland! ♥️
OMG The Shins too So glad I can just come back and watch these over and over and make comments too!
Thank you for existing.
I loved all of these!! My favorite by far were the Elliott Smith covers 🖤🎶🌟 blessings and love to you Ben.
Please keep this up, these daily live streams mean the world to me. We love you, Ben! Thank you so much for Waltz No. 2 and Do You Realize?? 💜
Thanks, Ben. As inspired by your t-shirt (which I want!)... how about Taste of Cindy or Under The April Skies or Happy When It Rains? Or any TJAMC song you like. That would make my day. Thanks!
Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize?" helped me to cope with my grandpa's cancer diagnosis and death back in 2012.
Ben's sets are helping me to go through this mess we are all in, and listening to his cover of that gorgeous song broke me (in the best way possible). Thank you so much, Ben.
Def leppard cover was awesome!
Could you pls cover "tears" from Rush.
Ben Gibbard on Elliot Smith...thank you!
the "new slang" cover...omg....so much love
i'm actually gonna need him to put this one out on spotify or something ASAP....
Isolation!!! Omg this is one of my favorites..incredible thank you
Thank you
Ben, thanks for doing these. I'm really enjoying the intimacy of these performances and your commentary. I've loved your music since I first heard "Your New Twin Sized Bed", but I'm really starting to love the man behind the music. Be well.
Sharing love and music all over the world. Great move!
Simply said Ben, thank you.
In love 😍 with hearing Silver Lining
That Flaming Lips closer was sterling
Dude, as a big fan, what you are doing is just incredible.
came back to listen to silver lining. such a nice cover
That song suffer enough last week😂😂 how can we love you more Ben
Thank you so much for the Elliott Smith cover!
I remember finding a recording of ben playing silver linings live AGES ago and jankily saving a muffled live take just cause i loved the cover so much, so happy to hear it again!
The new slang cover launched me immediately to 2004. Wow. Thank you.
That last cover helped a lot.
These are fantastic. Would you be down to perform your cover of “This Charming Man”?
Loving these!! One I'd absolutely love to hear is "Sodom, South Georgia" by Iron & Wine! Love you Ben!!
What a set! Holy shit! I'm blown away! Absolutely incredible!
Ben, brother! I believe your sound is captured only by your smartphone's mic, not by those mics you set up in your room. All the sessions you've done so far are that way. I am happy you're doing them and very grateful, but I think the sound is not what you intended it to be.
Denys Fedotov I keep hoping we’ll get the output from the mics, but you’re totally right - we’re just getting the computer mic (or smartphone) so far
He’s in his home recording studio, those mics are not for these performances. His laptop mic with have to do, and it’s fine.
Then why does he have an ear piece? :)
Im fuCKING CRRYIING AT THE SECOND TO LAST SONNGGG, THAT WAS SO UNEXPECTED
Thank you for sharing your voice during such a weird time. You're awesome, Ben! Sending love from across the lake in Bellevue ✌️ lol
This makes my heart so full.
I've been tuning in everyday. Thank you so much Ben! Love this!!
Cover of do you realize was beautiful
Love how DCFC and all these great musicians are doing this. Makes the time fly by (and actually appreciate that we have to social distance).
For Walt #2? Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so very much.
Absolutely amazing covers, thanks for making our quarantine better Ben! 😊
..Also you remembered the JAMC 😉
YESS. Came to watch the Skeleton Song. Thank you!
You are incredibly amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to play all this beautiful music. Making some of us feel not so alone.
Thank you . xo
This is glorious. Thank you, Ben. I can't tell you how much this helps!!!!!
When my baby boy cries in the car, Hysteria by Def Leppard is our go-to song that he loves and stops him crying 🥰 Ben covers it now I’m the one getting emotional 😭
this is everything. god bless this man.
That Def Leppard album is near flawless.
This was great! I’d love to hear You’ve Haunted Me All My Life one of these times!
This was wonderful!! I would love to hear you cover "kids beneath the balcony" or " the sea and the rythm" by Iron and Wine.
Dude that Elliott Smith cover was fucking beautiful. Thanks for doing these Ben, love you ♥️
From my four year old (who is loving this): I love you Ben. I wish you could visit me Ben. I love you.
Just put this setlists from this online concerts at your wedding...You gonna have a Total success. Actually i want to be at that wedding.
LOVE the Jesus and Mary Chain tee, but more than that I love all of you early aughts PNW artists. You all mean so very much to me and have soundtracked a lot of my life.
OMG, Def Leppard cover is amazing! Thanks Ben!
the beginning of that def leppard song sounded exactly like Pink Floyd's "Goodbye Blue Sky"
Hysteria left me in a puddle of tears. Well done, sir!
You are amazing for doing this. I look forward to each one of them. Your covers tonight were so great. Thanks a bunch!
This is so special for me. Thanks so much Ben!
These make me very happy. From a fan since 2000, thank you so much Ben. :)
Thank you so much for doing these covers. New Slang was incredible; the skill of pushing thru subtle musical errors makes music beautiful. I hear something real, and I love it. It why people love vinal. Its real. Thank you for putting yourself out there!!
Brilliant, Ben.
🖤
My goodness, every single bit of this is perfect 🥰
