Blast from the past. I follow your Scary Pockets and other recent stuff and YT fed me this one. Fantastic! I have a question. Are these from live takes or did you record the audio then shoot. I’ve tried and it’s hard enough being artist and engineer at once but then synching video from multiple takes,… wow!
god i love how jacks songs all have that weird mix of slightly off-putting tones but also.. idk it's almost like a hint of nostalgia? no idea how he does it but they all have such a unique powerful feel to them and im hooked
I feel like Jack isn't talked about enough. His songs are underrated and the views are so low considering all of his vids are from decades ago. Most vids would've had at least 10M views if the vid's at least a decade old. Yet even his best song imo, Kitchen Fork, is still at 836K views. Unbelievable. But then I remember that he co-founded Patreon and is the CEO and he started Pomplamoose with his lovely and equally as talented wife Nataly. He's successful, yet still underrated.
5 years later and still only 150k views, goes to show you how much of a rare gem this so is. Now I never have known a person who committed suicide but I'm sure it is terrible for the ones that love ones who take their own lives. Thanks, Jack for this very touching song
This masterpiece takes you by choke hold and doesn't let go until there is no more sound. It hurts losing someone by their own hands, and every word Jack put into this shows it all. Can't stop listening to all his work. Him and Nat.
My best friend that I known since kindergarten hung himself 2 years ago I was in another province with my dad at the time when I got back my mom told me about it I felt broken like I could’ve did something to help him this song helped me and made me feel a lil better about the situation. Thanks Jack.
I never had a close friend commit suicide, but this song almost makes me feel like I did. Or at least give me an idea of how it would feel. That's how powerful these lyrics are, that's how great Jack is.
What terrible emotion so deftly recorded! My heart goes out to those who grieve suicides and other untimely losses. Thank you for sharing these images.
@@forgottenpygmy I’ve been thinking this a lot. I think he was ahead of his time and he would definitely have gotten bigger now with his music I think, if he kept going solo. I miss the videosongs
I wish I discovered this song sooner, it’s hauntingly beautiful and I can’t stop listening. Big love to your music, Jack! I’ve been listening to you since high school and coming back to these older songs has been a joy.
it sad that most of the comments are about someone offing theirselves, and a person inside a certain multi animator project had done the same. goodbye inai.
still so many years later and my drunk old ass now thinks this is one of the best songs ive ever heard. jack, im glad youre doing well. i was so surprised to see youre the ceo of patreon, and man, im proud of you, really, really proud of you.
BITING THIS SONG AND SHAKING IT IN MY MOUTH LIKE A DOG TOY THIS IS LIKE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS. EVER I WANT TO FUCKING SCREAM THE LYRICS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS
The Mixing was done so perfectly, but not just in the professional sense. I don't know if it was intentional, but that small xylophone manages to cut right through all the other instruments at the end, almost reminiscive of a younger time... amazing.
It's probably impossible to recapture the raw emotion displayed in this song. Which is a shame because the video really could use a do-over :) But what a great vocal performance. Such raw untamed power and emotion. Jack, reconcider at least re-uploading it in these 720p times of UA-cam, I bet the footage looks better on your harddrive.
This song is great art,I would pay to get into a museum to see it.Also Conte's songs last,a rare musician indeed that can pass the test of time.Period.
mannnnnnn this brings me back. can't say how many times i played his videosongs in high school. almost feel like he was ahead of his time with youtube...
"So I remember you in lyric, recycled soul reborn as ink from a desperate pen ... ... Oh, I dream of your soul, I wish you could know that we grew up so well. Oh, you didn't know. You didn't know that soon you'd be okay. " this song reminds me of my late cousin. i wish he could know we grew up so well.
I remember watching these videos when they came out, you were the first "youtube channel" I always checked from time to time (as there was no subscriptions yet). I remember you had a button on your website to buy all songs. Sadly I had no money back then, but I still enjoy these! I'm not into celebrities or the such, could care less for people I didn't know in person, yet you were the first one I cheerd on seeing the progress! I don't know why but I'm really so proud of you! Thanks to you I got to know a lot more independent artists. So that's it, just wanted to say those 2 things: I'm proud of you and thanks for everything.
My cousin Brady did a podcast interview with you and wanted me to check it out, so I did, and the answers you gave about creativity made me want to check out your stuff, and I think you are an amazing musician, my favorite at this time, and this song is sooo intense and fitting for the subject matter, the desparation in your voice... like the person below me, that was just amazing! keep it up Jack :D
yeah for sure, there's a lot going on at the end, so it is a little thick, but UA-cam plays the audio file in mono which clutters the sounds, and the compression adds to the muffling. I wish I could get the the audio to play in stereo!
The thing that always amazes me about Jack Conte (I mean, other than the ridiculous mix of sounds and the brilliance and realness of his lyrics) is how much he puts into his songs. The segment from 1:40 to 2:03 really just shows what I mean.
I can't distinguish between this song and the great art that preceeded it through the centuries that adorns museum walls.This is biblical insomuch that it is just as relevant to world art as the great master composers,painters,and poets.
Still using this song to grieve a loss of someone close to me. It's so powerful at capturing the raw, desperate emotion of mourning someone you hadn't realized how much they meant to you, or how soon they'd exit your life. I try to see the positives, but I get so choked up imagining a life where they're not there to be proud of me. All I'm left with is the regret.
I am sitting here in my entertainment room just goofing off on my Macbook while watching the Football game the night before the election. I was on digg and some how I ended up on this excellent song. It actually moved me. I honestly looked it up on Google to see what CD it would be on. I would give my left nut to have the talent that you have. Thank you for an experience that was not intended.
Every single time I think too much, i come back here by some strange law of fate. It’s strangely comforting, knowing people who don’t even know me might have cried for me upon hearing about it, makes it a little easier to keep living /gen
this song is about man destroying it self. and eventually being portrayed as a still life pose, a brief species that died out to its inability to change its ways. A museum stand for a different species on this universe that is looking back unto us.
The vocals are always stellar on these Jack. I would love to be able to always have your range and tone..unfortunately I only get it when the stars are aligned just right (and of course the record button is furthest away most times).
Some of the most creative, powerfull, original, and strangely beautiful stuff I have ever heard. And coming from a recording engineer- production skills and ear second to none.
If everyone could express themselves as well and as effectively as you do, there'd be so much less discontent in the world. You rock, man. I plan on doing music with you at some point in my life. I hope it'll happen.
I love how animated you are. Seriously...Watching all your videos, with Natalie too, has totally made my last couple of days. You two are the perfect people to watch/listen to to get me out of this bad mood. =) Thanks for the awesome!
I was supposed to open for this guy when he came here, and then he cancelled last minute. worst moment of my life. I wanted to meet him more than ANYONE. amazing.
Bro was ahead of his time. It's kinda unbelievable that this song is 15 years old
right??? why arent people talking about this right now? this is awesome
Me parece una maravilla la locura que representan sus trabajos
haha, no neighbors! the studio is on a forest hill, the nearest house is 200 feet away! haha, otherwise i couldn't get away with this....

Damn, 9 months ago, feeling better?
This song/video makes me cry every time. I can't even imagine what it feels like to lose a friend to suicide. :'(
It is terrible beyond words trust me my friend killed herself when she was just 12...
My friend killed themself when they were 15. They were too young.
It's horrible.-
One of my friends is suicidal, and it’s really scary even thinking of them going through with it.. I’m trying my best to help them, though.
I never had a close friend commit suicide, but this song almost makes me feel like I did. Or at least give me an idea of how it would feel. That's how powerful these lyrics are, that's how great Jack is.
After I found out the lyrics, they powerfully resonate with me too

I think this might be my favorite song. Not just of yours, either.

Years later I still listen to this song and it still evokes a strong emotion reaction from when at the part "you didn't know that soon you'd be ok"
Been listening on spotify, did not realise jack did everything himself. Phenomenal
Fr
I THOUGHT THOSE WERE DIFFERENT PEOPLE???!
7 years old and I still love this song
David Shepherd h e c c
15 now. How time flies
this song is so good oml HOW IS IT 15 YEARS OLD 0o0
Almost 15 years later and this song still holds up
2020 and i still find these lyrics moving me like no other lyrics have
It's phenomenal how many sounds he can fit into a mix and have it still sound good. He must have amazing mastering skills.
This is the greatest solo Artist I've ever heard......RESPECT!
I wish I discovered this song sooner, it’s hauntingly beautiful and I can’t stop listening. Big love to your music, Jack! I’ve been listening to you since high school and coming back to these older songs has been a joy.
this song has a chokehold on me
I really wish if you made more music Jack, thank you for sharing this, over a decade late, but I really love this so much.
Seeing every instrument and singing being done by him makes me think. "Ah yes, the impossible Jack of all Trades, master of all."
Almost 15 years later and this literally hits different
it sad that most of the comments are about someone offing theirselves, and a person inside a certain multi animator project had done the same. goodbye inai.
Rest in peace, Inai. We miss you.
This song is amazing.
"Oh, I dream of your soul, I wish you could know that we grew up so well."
That line just hits me deep every time I hear it.
still so many years later and my drunk old ass now thinks this is one of the best songs ive ever heard. jack, im glad youre doing well. i was so surprised to see youre the ceo of patreon, and man, im proud of you, really, really proud of you.
BITING THIS SONG AND SHAKING IT IN MY MOUTH LIKE A DOG TOY
THIS IS LIKE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS. EVER
I WANT TO FUCKING SCREAM THE LYRICS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS

But what a great vocal performance. Such raw untamed power and emotion.
Jack, reconcider at least re-uploading it in these 720p times of UA-cam,
I bet the footage looks better on your harddrive.
Glad this is becoming famous on the animation community. A sad topic but touching lyrics with a beautiful beat
so much emotion
i love this song. ive listened to it for a while and it never gets old,, i dont understand how he pulls off staying so underground
This song is great art,I would pay to get into a museum to see it.Also Conte's songs last,a rare musician indeed that can pass the test of time.Period.
I LOVE this music
I love the meanings of this song and I just love seeing the expression he makes while singing this..

How is this a full decade old now?
Man this song is f#cking amazing it's kinda sad a masterpiece like this is so underrated,thanks "TWISTED DOCTOR" for letting me see this work of art
Me too, but i think that Skrill said for us to not say that we know this song because of the MAP- oh well
Can't believe it's been 12 years already! Still one of my favourite songs!
Amazing. I feel guilty for watching this, like someone watching a stranger cry without them knowing.

Ur so right actually omg I need to add it to my crowley playlist 😭
No words to describe it... D= "Awesome" does not give you justice..
same studio! wish I could afford two, though, that'd be awesome!
it would be an understatement to say you put your all into the vocals
fav song fr
I still wish so badly for these record labels to stop sh*tting all over the music industry, so that we can get to hear more of this kind of music.
You are totally not afraid to show who you are when making your music!!! I totally love that!!!
I can't count all the clever in that song,He puts out what every musician wishes they would of put out.I'm fine with that.Rock On Jack.

how dare you be so talented jack conte
If today's commercial music industry was based on talent, Jack would be a fucking legend. Thanks for not selling out and for providing quality music.
1:32 sent genuine shivers down my spine. I'm always astounded by your voice and musical ability.
i can beieve how much i watch your tunes
now that is music, keep going and never stop
God, the raw emotion in this is palpable.
