wow. they're both amazing and... together, just wow.... they are two of the best lyricists in rock today. If they collaborated on anything, i would pay all the money in my pocket plus a million dollars for it.
Holy crap! I always thought they looked the same and both made great beautiful music. Now I see they actually were ina show together?! WOW! Great cover too!
Damn, one of my favorite Blur songs. Many people compare Ben and Colin, and I like the Decemberists a lot but this clip clearly shows Ben to be the better singer. His voice is just much more soothing, more relaxed while singing.
Ben can get by: he frequently hops around between piano and guitar during concerts. He can definitely play. The thing about Ben is he can play pretty much everything his band calls for: guitar, bass, drums, piano/organ. But I don't think he is the best in Death Cab at any. Chris pretty much owns him at the piano, organ and guitar, Nick takes care of the bass, while Jason is an amazing drummer. Ben's job is singing and songwriting and we all know he's incredible in that role.
I'm not sure you can say that Ben is the "better" singer. Their voices are very very different. It is true that Ben Gibbard has a very soothing type of voice, but I just can't imagine his sort of singing on Decemberists songs or other songs that Colin's voice works with.
You are entitled to your religious freedom. If you want to believe in God, more power to you. This is America, and if someone wants to be an atheist, that is just as beautiful as anything else. One should be allowed to talk about their religion without being ridiculed.
I guess so.... But I think both of those people are from America. I was just saying that in other places in the world, you could get your head cut off for simply questioning religion, let alone exercising religious freedom. So they should be thankful that they live somewhere that allows them to believe what they want. But what a stupid thing to say: This is America........... I feel stupid. I just didn't think about that. But you get my point?
i love ben gibbard's voice but i can't stand atheism and any atheiest's comment me all i have to say is if god doesn't exist why not believe in somtin if it's not gonna matter anyway. I'm taking my chances
thats so amazing! my 2 favorit artists singing!
It's honestly just nice to see other Americans actually acknowledging that Blur's catalog consists of more than just Song 2.
Two favorite vocalists. Crazy good stuff.
That is the most awesome Duo I have ever come across!
Meloy and Gibbard... I absolutely love it.
Two of my favorite musicians I didn't even know they played together, but when put together it's ment to be. I like how Colin is playing Ben's guitar.
holy fook this is too good for words, one of my favorite blur songs.
wow. they're both amazing and... together, just wow.... they are two of the best lyricists in rock today. If they collaborated on anything, i would pay all the money in my pocket plus a million dollars for it.
AWESOME! I LOVE BOTH OF THEM
My two heroes! Very very very nice
this one of my favorite blur songssss
Colin Meloy AND Ben Gibbard on the same stage? Amazing.

I love the Decemberists. I love Blur.
I love this.

gosh both of my favorite boys together!! i love this! I always conspired in my mind that Ben and Colin were secretly brothers lol
Aw shit!
My old theory was "I've never seen the two of them together, therefore, they are the same person"
Damn
Colin's just glowing.
I would slay many villages of adorable kitten-like creatures to see them perform together live.
Colin is on the guitar, and Ben is on the piano. They both are amazing!
What a random/awesome choice!
felicitaciones
omg yes plzx!
this is beyond cool -- they're like bro's from different mo's.
finally.. a blur cover that isn't song 2.
omg THEY COVER BLUR!
aha, my 2 favorite frontmen.
just what i was thinking
MEMORIES!
did you see Death Cab the next day?
Anyone have a higher quality version

How weird, at the two Death Cab concerts I went to, he played the piano. :S
they're twins!
They should COMBINE their bands to create a 9-member SUPERGROUP. 0_0
@deathcabforlife That has a nice ring to it
THIS.
You may be in America, but you realize that UA-cam is pretty worldwide...

To the comment of "ben on piano"...what are you talking about? Ben plays the piano usually.
Deathcembercab?

Warning!
This video may confuse your young minds as you will feel attracted to other men.

Duct tape them up first
Gd cover but leave it to the english.
Are you guys seriously debating about religion on UA-cam?
Blasphemy
i love ben gibbard's voice but i can't stand atheism and any atheiest's comment me all i have to say is if god doesn't exist why not believe in somtin if it's not gonna matter anyway. I'm taking my chances
fool. take your chances? bah!
In the bible it says "Even demons believe in God." Simply believing in him won't do anything at all.
Ugh, dude with the guitar (Colin??) please lean back from the mic, you are hurting my ears. Damon Albarn should egg your house.
god damn, horrible sound...
