I listened to this album a lot when it came out, and then slept on it for a few years. Great sense of chord progression and melody. Big Nilsson sings Newman vibes.
sometimes (but not very often) a songwriter comes along who just "gets it". he is one of them. more of the same please. you make me realise that music can help. thank you.
Found your "Goon" album on Spotify about a month ago and I love your music so much. I want to say you remind of some 40's or 50's music, but it doesn't. It's all so unique, and maybe it's just unique to me, but please keep making music I appreciate and love it so much. Thank you.
So good. Love your voice Tobias!! Keep making great songs like this! They make me think of memories that my parents or grandparents have, not even ones of mine.
+Judith Edwards He's not that good, Judith. I saw him live at the Fillmore and he was very underwhelming. He writes simple songs with simple chord changes and displays surprising lack of musicianship. Yup, not what you wanted to hear but this guy is no Billy Joel, Elton John, or John Lennon. The guy has spirit but his songs are heavy on the shmaltz and while he rings of the 70's, he's just not that great a performer.
+Byron Gordon you want him to play like chopin or somethin? i saw the sheet music on tumblr, there's a variety of different chords (majors, minors, 7ths etc...lol).
rich roehl Well, all I can say is, go see him live and get up close. If you're impressed with his level of musicianship then by all means enjoy yourself. I just wasn't impressed with the guy's performance.
It's my personal opinion, but this kid is better than Adele. Granted, Adele has a great voice, but that's all she has. His lyrics actually make sense and his best songs aren't Bob Dylan covers. Who, unlike Adele, wrote music that made no sense, but made sense at the same time, ON PURPOSE. I had lots of hope for Adele, but she's just like the Sam Smith and Hozier lot. Just a bunch of good voices and drum beats. Tobias Jesso Jr. Makes me feel like I'm standing by a yellow Nova in the rising daylight, after just getting out of the bed of a man who I want to love, but am scared to committ to, while I smoke a Turkish cigarette. Adele has never giving me anything close. He will get famous without Adele. He will be bigger than Adele. And if not, the world doesn't deserve him.
the horns are so promising and could add so much more but end up being a letdown. almost feel like he'd be better off leaving them out entirely. its just unnecessary noise. theres little melody if any to them. all he needs is him and his piano. here's to hoping the album was left pretty raw
I have to agree with another poster. This song is pretty good until that dreadful ending. It should have ended around the 4 minute mark instead of dragging on for an extra 2 minutes with an overproduced jazz like ending that just does not work or suit the song.

Harry Nilsson vibes
Leon Russell too

+Judith Edwards I got a touch of Roger Waters out of this song

Porque no escuchan estás canciones :"(
Este es el único comentario en español :v
So is the flexi disc a demo version then? I've pretty much ruined mine through playing it so many times
I'm pretty sure that all the Flexi Vinyls were demos
Why is youtube proposing me Taylor Swift on the side bar ?!
HOW IS THIS LINKED TO TAYLOR SWIFT ?!!?
Anyway, awesome song
Looks like you played "Shake It Off" too many times.
Had to google that to figure out what it was lol. Yeah maybe I have awkward music taste when I think I'm asleep haha
apparently they're dating :(
Bc they've smooched.
Chris Evans' Twitter brought me here

Fish Center Live brought me here
At the start of this song it sounded like Tom Odell was going to come in, idk why? Ahaha
I don't want to be here - heard the Beetles before.

MARAVILHOSO
My mum brought me here.
the horns are so promising and could add so much more but end up being a letdown. almost feel like he'd be better off leaving them out entirely. its just unnecessary noise. theres little melody if any to them. all he needs is him and his piano. here's to hoping the album was left pretty raw
I dont know, man. It felt right with the progression of the lyrics and "theme" of the song.
***** I do now ;)
Tell that to Wilco.
I have to agree with another poster. This song is pretty good until that dreadful ending. It should have ended around the 4 minute mark instead of dragging on for an extra 2 minutes with an overproduced jazz like ending that just does not work or suit the song.
harambe brought me here
thinking of clipping 2:22 and sending it to commies who rustle my jimmies
No.Tom Odell is not better.
ICK, ICK, ICK. It IS just a crap mirror version of crap hello.
Pitchfork brought me here. Not a fan, at least of the song. Whiney, mopey, dopey crud.
You are probably from Hollywood.
Boring as hell.
This is beautiful.
