Hope you enjoyed the Live Experience- it certainly was a pleasure to make a real nice piece of art in the slop fest that was 2020! It’s now available on @youtube for all eternity. No cost- my gift to you 🎁 ua-cam.com/video/h0lbUZtM_EE/v-deo.html
Hello! Saw you in Wiesbaden! 12-08-22! It was sooo cool! I hope you come back! What does second supper mean? Maybe there is a translation in German! Hope to see you soon!!!!
Lucky you! New music found with a decent crate of jams. I imagine he is singing too.... Kraughbin pitchfork concert here on youtube. That is who he is singing too. :)
that outro is straight up one of the best musical moments i've ever heard. i love how donny occasionally lifts the music out of the established '80s corniness and into genuinely emotionally evocative territory, it's like when you're hit by an unexpectedly sincere moment in like a comedy film. it's cool when parody/pastiche leans into something more weighty on occasion :)
LYRICS: When you find someone That makes makes you feel a strong Connection to your heart Right from the start I shoulda known by now That instinct never lies I can tell theres more to you Than a pretty smile The confidence you’ve got I don’t want it to stop Appreciation of you I can’t describe I want to know Can we give love a shot And I just want to say You are the girl of my dreams You make me complete Falling in love again Knock me off my feet Going back to the start When love came along Getting all weak at the knees Singing this song We’ve both been hurt before They always took much more Destroyed our dignity Destroyed our self esteem We lost our confidence We put up our defence Around our hearts and never get Too close again I say it’s time to dream So take a chance with me My eyes and ears are open To your precious heart And if you want to leave I’ll always step aside But know I’m always here for you You are the girl of my dreams You make me complete Falling in love again Knock me off my feet Going back to the start When love came along Getting all weak at the knees Singing this song
Man, your outro is wonderful. I couldn’t help think I’ve heard a similar chord sequence from something else… After a few weeks I’ve realised it’s the bridge in Gino Vannelli’s ‘Shame’ from the Inconsolable Man album. I won’t tell anyone… as no one’s heard of it 😭🙈. Love your music Donny 💙
Donny you deserve the best.... This song in particular is SPECTACULAR - Amazing music - strong melody - Beautiful "coda" - bass line (like all your songs) in my top 5 of your songs
What i love so much about Donny is that he is hilarious but par excellence in quality. I generally dislike parody music or ironic music, there's too much of it nowadays, but the thing with Donny is that the line between "parody" and serious music is so blurred that you can only be impressed how fresh it is. While we have endless amount of "new 80s music" nothing really sounds 80s, everything is over the top, while Donny's music could pass as 80s pop suave songs any day. Everything from instrumentation, way of playing, VIDEOS, atmosphere... everything is pure quality. And that ending is amazing, Dario Argento vibes :)
So true. At first I just couldn’t figure out whether it was parody or serious- felt like having a laugh, but the music was great and he was bloody nailing it. Then, I realised it was both at the same time, and in being so, as close to perfect as 80s music might get these days. We’re all having a great time, as Donny clearly is, so I’ve stopped questioning it in any way instead telling everyone to jump aboard :-D
Donny, I don't know if you'll ever see this. But I want you to know I work at a dealership and I whistle this almost 4 times a day, ESPECIALLY walking through the shop where it echoes and sounds just like the song. Oh and the feature you did back in the day "Charlottes web" is my morning alarm clock tone. Congrats on making it bud, hope to see and hear more catchy stuff. Love from Houston Texas.
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday and being able to chauffeur you around. Your show was an amazing time and I can't wait to see you the next time you come to town. Thanks again for putting the LPs aside!
Love , love & love. The live version of this song with the sax's interlude is euphoric. Mr Benet's music while driving at night takes you to wonderful destinations.
Hey Donny, ... The bridge at 3:16 is a DREAM!.... WOW!... Soooo smooth breakdown and harmonically ultimate!.... Damn you great! Keep it up! YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST.... 80'S RULES! GREETINGS FROM GERMANY!
Decided to excersize,eat healthy and went on anti depressants, a month or two in I was hiking and this just came out and I’ll never forget how fucking good I felt in that moment. Thanks don.
Donny, I just found you last night. I love your style of humor. Far more common in Australia and hardly well received here in the US; I practice it here and it doesn't help me all that much... Your music I would have expected to be less inspired and more comedic. It's brilliant! I have played this song at least 20 times today. The endings popping bass line is incredible! Dude, don't stop! This is exactly what the World needs.

I fucking love these Alexander o smith joints man y’all are made for each other!
Love you Donny - thanks for the gift
Mr. Experience, please come back soon to NYC .. hope see you soon...cheers
Hello! Saw you in Wiesbaden! 12-08-22! It was sooo cool! I hope you come back! What does second supper mean? Maybe there is a translation in German! Hope to see you soon!!!!
i did in lucerna
Can we get the rest of the music industry to start taking itself this seriously please?
Let's start with real music first 😂
Hearing this song in the morning, made my day...
No. The music industry needs shi..tttt hip French guys to do the exactly the same thing to have huge success.......FFFF.ckkk it
I see the comment went over a lot of people's heads, smh.
@@ghettostuntabulious Indeed. The internet never fails.
Only a man like Donny would be ballsy enough to have a garlic-heavy dinner just before a date.
LMAO
That's also an insane amount of garlic
He took a hit of mouth spray before he went in. This isn't Donny's first rodeo.
@@elchazzio hahaha
Power move
I worship the bass line.
right? that ending got me replaying it 50+x
Testify on 1:32
SLAPPERS!
Agreed
dat bass tho....loves it!
I'm late to the Donny party, but I am most certainly on board. This is magic.
i discovered him a couple weeks ago while tripping on LSD. hah
Lucky you! New music found with a decent crate of jams. I imagine he is singing too.... Kraughbin pitchfork concert here on youtube. That is who he is singing too. :)
Just jumped on myself!!! I’m never getting off… Or am i 😏
Party’s still going strong. Nobody’s clearing drinks or emptying ash trays yet.
Day 5 for me
This premieres in 5 hours. 100's of Babies named Donny will premiere in 9 months.
Hi, my name is Donny. I'm 4
This song is criminally underrated.
that outro is straight up one of the best musical moments i've ever heard. i love how donny occasionally lifts the music out of the established '80s corniness and into genuinely emotionally evocative territory, it's like when you're hit by an unexpectedly sincere moment in like a comedy film. it's cool when parody/pastiche leans into something more weighty on occasion :)
Totally agree. It's absolutely wonderful.
Boom, you said it
Wow you have just managed to express exactly what the song and outro does to me, but I couldn’t find the words.
3:37 to the moon
What a beautiful comment ❤️
LYRICS:
When you find someone
That makes makes you feel a strong
Connection to your heart
Right from the start
I shoulda known by now
That instinct never lies
I can tell theres more to you
Than a pretty smile
The confidence you’ve got
I don’t want it to stop
Appreciation of you
I can’t describe
I want to know
Can we give love a shot
And I just want to say
You are the girl of my dreams
You make me complete
Falling in love again
Knock me off my feet
Going back to the start
When love came along
Getting all weak at the knees
Singing this song
We’ve both been hurt before
They always took much more
Destroyed our dignity
Destroyed our self esteem
We lost our confidence
We put up our defence
Around our hearts and never get
Too close again
I say it’s time to dream
So take a chance with me
My eyes and ears are open
To your precious heart
And if you want to leave
I’ll always step aside
But know I’m always here for you
You are the girl of my dreams
You make me complete
Falling in love again
Knock me off my feet
Going back to the start
When love came along
Getting all weak at the knees
Singing this song
Lovely song...
Does this song have....like a deeper meaning? Like awakening someone
I always understood "And get a week at Donny's Singin' this song"
Man, your outro is wonderful. I couldn’t help think I’ve heard a similar chord sequence from something else… After a few weeks I’ve realised it’s the bridge in Gino Vannelli’s ‘Shame’ from the Inconsolable Man album. I won’t tell anyone… as no one’s heard of it 😭🙈. Love your music Donny 💙
The Don to play at the next Superbowl.
The True Detroit Lion!
Donny you deserve the best....
This song in particular is SPECTACULAR
- Amazing music

Eloquently stated.
It's almost like the joke is the fact it's not... lol

_“Satisfaction guaranteed“_ The Don never disappoints.
Donny, I don't know if you'll ever see this.

Hello from Spring, TX. He’s playing at the bronze peacock room house of blues in late April.
The harpsichord outro got me floating
Man, the outro is really something else
This song feels so magical. Like something you hear in a dream and then can’t remember when you wake up ♥️
Papa Don hitting us with another face melter.
Melting into many liquids at the moment. Good catch
✨
WHAT AN ARTIST. Literally everything this guy touches is brilliant. HIs music, his videos, everything.
There are 2 types of good music: Donny Bennett ... Others
The extended version of the outro should be alone a new release! I would love to hear that!!!
Don's outros are like separate songs almost, I remember them separate from the song they are in. One of the greats
@@Nixo66 same with me! Sometimes I just play one of the outros :) a Don mix containing all of them would be super cool too!
It's the climax of the story. Part of what makes it great is that we're only given a minute of it.
like the last thirty seconds of Radioheads Optimistic
always never
@@EggBastion Wicked based comment; it's always a bit too short. Little Wing by Hendrix comes to mind as well.
I love this track. I love garlicy pasta sauce. I love vampire Donny.
Garlic saves lives. That's what Donny taught me. Thx
the bass line in the end
Just Fantastic!
That moment when you discover an artist that makes such perfect music is the best moment ever. Became instant fan.
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday and being able to chauffeur you around. Your show was an amazing time and I can't wait to see you the next time you come to town. Thanks again for putting the LPs aside!
Carbonated Turtle You lucky Turtle! 🐢
The bass rift👍 is the climax.. love the extended riff on the vid.
muy bien compadre 🎸
This is gold. The track is so amazing, but the video is SOOOO great! Love ya man, thank you!
This is the song that hooked me to Donny Benét vibes. 🔥
***ON TOUR FEBRUARY USA/CANADA***

My girl and I are going to try to see your show in Oregon. Much love Donny! 🖤 🦇
See you in Brussels, Donny!!
Take my like, give me more 😊
Yesssss Philly!
Israel?
Classic Holden Statesman absolutely killed me
Streaming this on my 1981 Yahama R-900 with my baby advents ...so smooth Don-thx-such a G
Funky Basslines like this are the girl of my dream!
Indeed. What a beauty !
LNP
BEYOND AWESOME BRO!!! I'm looking forward to Philly next Friday! Thanks for the badass tunes man!
Knew in the first ten seconds it was a banger
I wish i could go back in time and have my first dance with my Wife to this song.
The outro bass is 👌
Exactamente ❤️
The Master Is Back.
We need a return to more bass line driven music.
Un personnage atypique + une voix sensuelle = Un mélange terrible
Love , love & love. The live version of this song with the sax's interlude is euphoric. Mr Benet's music while driving at night takes you to wonderful destinations.
This short movie is a gorgeous creation!
I have plenty of heroes from the 20th century. But none from the 21st. Except Donny Benet.
What a great short film to pair with the song. Not just a song writer but a filmmaker as well.
omg its a real pleasure
Hey Donny, ... The bridge at 3:16 is a DREAM!.... WOW!... Soooo smooth breakdown and harmonically ultimate!.... Damn you great! Keep it up! YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST.... 80'S RULES! GREETINGS FROM GERMANY!
I would describe the bass tone on this song as lobster butter, swirling in a champagne flute.
I hope Donny continues to explore this darker alley of his genius
The don isn't just a man... he is a vibe. #realjamesbond
A true gentlemen, all the way. 🧛♂️🧛🧛♀️
3:15 and on is profoundly good. Such an underrated piece of music. Never thought I'd hear medieval funk, but that's now a vibe I crave.
You're like a melanin deficient Thundercat, and I absolutely love all of it! Thank you for these gems, mined from your soul.
that bassline when he was biten, stunning!!!!
Donny has the pure italian style...
The garlic smash drum sync is perfect
_“Experienced Lover“_ Donny, oh Donny 😎 You naughty boy! 😏
Hello to all other Donnoisseurs from the Netherlands!
Special music for special parties !
In Donny We Trust! Love from Norway!
This song made me a brave man.
But Donny, if you become a vampire how will you be able to keep on eating all that amazing garlic 😢
Great song 💯
Donny got the drip
watching and listening to it for the 136th time. a Masterpiece
Immortal lover. Immortal tune. Take a bite!
life lesson from Mr Experience.
Nothing more 80s than that body hair.
LOL That triple take!
thank you for existing Donny ...
That bass at the end is off the chain.
this is how you write a love song.......
Decided to excersize,eat healthy and went on anti depressants, a month or two in I was hiking and this just came out and I’ll never forget how fucking good I felt in that moment. Thanks don.
Timing the beat drop with that garlic smash, what a great sequence!
Man I love this video. Great song and hilarious acting.
Donny, I just found you last night.
I love your style of humor. Far more common in Australia and hardly well received here in the US; I practice it here and it doesn't help me all that much...
Your music I would have expected to be less inspired and more comedic. It's brilliant! I have played this song at least 20 times today. The endings popping bass line is incredible!
Dude, don't stop! This is exactly what the World needs.
Donny! can we please get a whole version of this on the harpsichord like at the end? its soo good. ❤
Whistle completes the tune.
The man, the myth, the legend... The Don!
Donny at his best.
This has to be my favourite Donny track. Great synths. More key changes than a locksmith.
Okay, this was absolutely brilliant.
Yet another absolute classic! 🤩 Love the music video. His sense of humour is next to none! Hahahaha. Love this song! 😁
I can't believe I've been missing out on this dude all these years. Better late than never I suppose.
Донни Бенет годный тролль. Отличный клип!
Donny doesn't miss
The way she looked you up and down. Us guys do it too but we're subtle with it. She just did it.
The music and the video are both so excellent. Most can barely even get one right
Might have to steal that breakbeat in the beginning
Straight up Mark King at the end of this video! You're the man, Donny.
Feels like the 80,s style music has started for me again. Very nice,,lovely,,relaxing music.
Papa Don. Preach. I'm in trouble deep...
Donny's music belongs on the voyager space probe. Every album.
Awesome show in Toronto Donny!!! Party Nails were great as well. Proud to be there for your first time in T.O. See you back soon.
Now I want a Donny appearance on "What We Do In The Shadows" 😃😃😃❤
Thank you Vogel for showing us this 😎
DONNNYYYYYYYY
playing it at 1.5 or 1.75 just makes it worth it.
This is unreal, why’d it take me this long to discover this??
Donny, I love ya. You’re a genius, man. Beautiful genius.
....man...that bass sound and technique....bad-assedness all-round..........................
Been in recovery from covid .this came out right as i came outta the worst of it ...to the girl of my dreams... damn daisy thanks for saving my life.
