I wrote this song in this very room... but back then it was a spare bedroom (Pre renovation). I can't be more than 3 ft from where I wrote it though... strange.
Grew up in Alaska. My dad was AirForce. My sister and I moved around time and time again but we landed in anchorage for around 10 years altogether. It was our childhood and this band and these songs bring me right back there. Thank you sir.
Oh man, this was my first Barenaked Ladies song! I heard my dad listening to it one hot California day, and I was hypnotized by it. I just love how this sounds, still one of my all-time favorite songs to this day.
Wow! First, I'm amazed that you share your talent like this over the net. Second, I have always enjoyed this song and have added it to my performance list. It's nice to see exactly how it's done so I can replicate it closer to the original version. Thanks. You're a great guitarist and vocalist. I'm exited to perform this one tomorrow night.
Ed.... Jeeesus man that sounded incredible!!@!!Thanks for posting this fantastic "Bathroom versions" They are friggin incredible!!! Cheers from Ottawa......
This is my theme song, every late spring when I leave Ft. Lauderdale to head to Maine, and at the end of every summer, when I pack up my things to head back to Florida. It's my ritual to play this as I pull out the driveway and begin my journey . . . It fits perfectly, whichever direction I'm heading. Saw you guys at the Seminole Hard Rock Café last year. It was a nice crowd and the most fun I've had at a concert. Hope to catch you some time when I'm up north.
hey ed ...ed here love your music. i play a bit too mostly around a camp fire. by the way love your show ed's up!!!!! mechanics helper here in williams lake bc. climbing the ladder. anyhow keep it up...ed n shari
This song is so amazing and wonderful in the raw form presented here. Saw the late Steve Jobs previewing some of the very tech that allowed this raw and so interesting set of videos to be done in such a non-slick and generative way. Just a guy singing to his Mac, except this guy is one of the most talented in the world. Thanks, Ed, I hope you'll do more of these, even as Apple and tech in general gets more slick--still one of original and passionate voices of my and several generations.
You're right! I came here looking to learn this song, and was completely deceived by this charlatan that looks exactly like the guy from Barenaked Ladies. You got me...
These videos have inspired to try learning the guitar again this summer. I started a few years back, and made some progress, but work and other things got in the way and I didn't have any songs I really wanted to learn. Now I have goals! I'd also really like a BNL guitar book, Ed!
EDS UP! REPO MAN episode rocked man... You know what? I never knew that was your show i always flicked right passed it until i saw a commercial for it on comddey channel lol Dope show tho i watch it all the time now :D
You guys are awesome! This is my favorite song from you guys. The first time I heard this song when you made an appearance on "Charmed". Thank you, Ed!
Huzzah for wireless internet! I have just harmonized with Ed while I was cleaning my bathroom! (How was it for you, Ed?)Can't wait for your Manchester gig. Yes, the one in England.
If you play this song next month in Dublin I'll be throwing underwear at you. Front row of the seated section, baby - Ed side! =D Was at the Barenaked for the Holidays concert so I can't wait to see you all again.
You guys are AWESOME!!! I just recently discovered you had these on UA-cam. I have enjoyed watching them so much I just went to iTunes to buy your latest album! :-D
This song is one of my favorites. Someone who is better than me at the guitar tab out Ed's performance here and send it to me than I can play it anytime, which is what I want. Rock on Ed
yo, my music collection is probably 78% percent hip hop, but I have been all over this song since the video debut on MTV..what was that 10 yrs ago?..I actually like all your singles..ok..thats all..u guys rock..even to a hip hop head.
Thanks for this, I've been trying to figure out how to play it. Saw you guys at the Palace of Auburn Hills back in October. Gonna see you again June 15th at DTE. Can't wait
I must ask this of all Barenaked Ladies songs... can someone please write the lyrics out for others and me. Please please please. ..... Pinch me... pinch you too lol. Thank you and have a great day. And thank you for Barenaked Ladies.

Seems appropriate to watch this during 2020 quarantine
Something great about listening to this at 2:30AM, while the birds whistle in the eaves and the rest of the world falls silent...
7 years later & I'm having that exact feeling, then see this comment.🙃

Sure is a great song Cheers from Toronto
This is without question my favorite Barenaked Ladies song. I can listen to it 10 times in a row with not ever getting tired of it.

I love this song so much. I first heard it on "Charmed". Love 90s music. nice one :) xx
Love Canadian music, so many talented musicians like Barenaked Ladies, Lights, Bryan Adams etc...
Ed, you rock. :) Love this song... one of my all time faves. :)
"Try to see the world beyond your front door..." :) Amen!
One of my favourites, it always seems to perfectly fit my mood
Thank you so much for this! I wish more artists would release acoustic versions of their songs.
I thoroughly enjoyed that!👍 I have never seen a band that has been round for a while play in their bathroom

One of my favorite songs. I had all but forgotten about it until I found it on iTunes the other day. LOVE IT.

For the last time, this is Ed Robertson!!! The real singer!!!
You're right! I came here looking to learn this song, and was completely deceived by this charlatan that looks exactly like the guy from Barenaked Ladies. You got me...
Man I love those bathroom sessions
These videos have inspired to try learning the guitar again this summer. I started a few years back, and made some progress, but work and other things got in the way and I didn't have any songs I really wanted to learn. Now I have goals! I'd also really like a BNL guitar book, Ed!
These bathroom sessions are sooo great. Thank You for doing them. I love this song.
Great song!
This is great! Love Ed Robertson!
This song seems to sum up my constant mood every single time I hear it.
We love you, Uncle Ed.

The fact that he messes up and sings off makes me feel better about myself and my guitar playing. Good stuff my brotha!
Sounded great on George Street tonight. That young Alan Doyle chap seems promising.
thank you sir

Hey Ed, even though you're not going to see this comment I'd just like to say you're a big inspiration to me playing guitar. I love your music man.
This song is one of my favorites. Someone who is better than me at the guitar tab out Ed's performance here and send it to me than I can play it anytime, which is what I want. Rock on Ed
I like how he builds up frustration in the song- then releases it-
Best cover on UA-cam! Haha seriously though, great song!
Thank you Ed....this is very personal....lovely.
good shit bro.. u have a talent
haha, your probably the best lyricist ive seen in a very... very long time. your songs are awesome!
