just checking in years later, and yep, still a masterpiece
Haha hell yeah. I had this saved on an old playlist.. Yes it is !
damn, just came here to do the same!. still holds up! a friggin classic!
CORRECT!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Yup.
Ditto 😂
Still listening in 2024 ❤
Me too! Just sent this to a friend ❤️
To believe this song is 13 years old now and still carries this much weight til this day. Absolute banger 🔥
showed that to my friends they said wtf are u listening to ?
we no longer friends np bro
That song was my wife and I first dance, at our wedding... Best waltz ever, for that occasion ! Now we can't hear that song without falling into each others arms..
Sebastien Debande 😢😭
isnt this song about old people doing the 69?
Oh okay goals🥺
I love that
I danced with my wife in our kitchen to this song
*edit* 12 years later. Metal head to the core. Still busting out a lil man cry when I listen this. You know that cry where you're kinda laughing but you can't catch your breathe so you just bow your head and giggle? Yep . That's the one!
Same.
Me too
It’s in the new Samsung (Christmas 2020) advertising!
Also same
Me too. on December 2020..
If God strolled through a park humming a tune, this would qualify to be the one.
#TRUTH
Man this song haunts me in the best possible way. So bloody beautiful.
Yep! That’s how I describe it! Haunts me! In the most beautiful/painful way
Samsung reminded me of this song. Can't believe it's been 10yrs
Was watching commercial and was struck by it
thought it is just me 😂
Hahaha ye same although the samsung version sounds like absolute trash compared to this. I hate how adverts do cover versions of artists songs so they don't have to pay the artist as much.
I never heard it till I saw the commercial the melody was just so dreamy so I used Shazam on the commercial and a couple minutes later i found the best song I ever heard
Saaaame, I was like yahhhhh let’s gooooo!
“We’ll still be best friends when all turns to dust” is one of most beautiful things I’ve heard so far ❤️
It really is beautiful
Told someone I was with for 8 years that when we first got together. I’m less than dirt to her now and could care less if I didn’t wake up. BUT THAT BAR IS STILL PERFECT!!!! Just makes me cry now
have watched/listened to this so many times over the years
I just found it again.
+brad curran me too
+brad curran me too it's a unique way of performing
+brad curran ditto!
I listen/sing this to my 16 month old at bedtime ever night for the past few months. Never gets old!
Still one of the greatest recordings of all time
Ray Secoli masterpiece
Haven't listened to this since... 2011(?)
It's 2020... your GD right this recording is a masterpiece.
Truly, the best
A TV commercial brought back some memories and I was like wait - I know this music. Shazamed it and was like OHHHH, I used to listen this on repeat :D Another song for our advent playlist xD
OMG SAME - a Samsung Galaxy Commercial lol
i couldn't pull out shazam in time, had to rack my brain..but I found it!!
My mom always liked my music whenever I would play it around the house and in the car, but she would never learn artists or songs, she just enjoyed it. However, this song instantly stuck out to her and she would always ask me to play it. Reminds me of her every time I hear it!
is she doing ok?
Awesome exp.. Same here
I used to listen to this song daily 9 years ago. And somehow I just forget about it, until now. I just spend the last 2 hours trying to remember the lyrics and even did stupid searches on Google like "song with violin and the drums intro".
Glad that I found it again!!
I remembered because I'll never forget the name of their other band POP ETC
I googled "da dum da dum asian singer taste me" Lol
I remembered "Big Echo" for some reason even though it's not in the title only the description, and searched it in my RUclips history
Noticed this was used in a Best Buy/Samsung Christmas commercial and I'm hoping that a whole new generation of folks will be turned onto this AMAZING song ❤️ a Reese's commercial introduced me to it about 10 years ago 😊
shazam’d it from the best buy commercial and couldn’t believe they had chosen such a good song for a commercial haha. Ended up looking it up on youtube and found this amazing video
How did i never hear this 10 years ago.. What a tune..
I'm honestly shocked by how good this is. Music at its finest. Everyone should listen to this.
only gets better with time too. i miss this time for music dearly
I found it. After three years of vaguely remembering incorrect lyrics and typing them into wherever I could, I found it. Thank you for answering my prayers, Genius Lyrics.
Same!
Me. Right now. 3 hours it took. But I found it.
Danced with my wife to this song for our wedding 😊
people with great taste in music come here.
So, so true
Agreed
Thuth
Pong agreed
Reminds me of So much as well
I choose to love you in loneliness, for in loneliness no one owns you but me. I choose to adore you from a distance, for distance will shield me from pain. I chose to kiss you in the wind, for the wind is gentler than my lips. I choose to hold you in my dreams, for in my dreams you have no end.
Omg… reading that was food and beauty to my soul… thank you. I wish you the same, that I just got from your comment!
Love from the uk 🇬🇧
wish they made more songs like this, its just such a dream.
as soon as the beat came back after the chorus, sounds so good when he comes in with "we are so smooth now"
Agreed💚👏
Agreed, he was so smooth now with that turn and transition! I love the way that he flows "edges are beaten driftwood whittled down" together. I've been playing that part on repeat for the last half hour, lol.
I always come back to this video around Christmas time.
Yeah! Same here
Saw this on December 15th, 2019. Can confirm
Me too! This is a fall/winter song for sure.
welcome back
same here! December 22 2021
I totaled my car to this song
+Desiree Hodak totally worth it
+dazerantics really though it was
+Desiree Hodak lol
did u get arrested?
I totaled mine to "Star Man" by Bowie.
My wife and I used this version of the song as out exit song from the ceremony. Great song!
no other song gives me more motivation, happiness and good vibes and takes away the negative feels like this one! it pushs me so hard!!
hey bro!
Still fucking great after all this time
+Aiur so true
still fucking great 6 years after this comment
*AND* *STILL*
I discovered this song after watching the movie “a case of you”. It is sang at the very end of the movie. That was in 2013. And since then I can’t stop listening to it. It is a masterpiece and gives so much positivity
Still here in 2019 you're voice is more than beauty.
I love coming back here. I wish I could have been in that room while they were recording.
Very lucky people 😍😍😍
I revisit this song every year for the past 10ish years, still gives me chills
I’m with my girlfriend for almost 4 years now because of this song! We both loved it first time we talked and have been together since❤️Thank you-The Morning Benders 😭
There isn't another song like this, it's amazing
There is a whole decade with music like this. He has he was inspired by Phil Specter. Look it up.
+Eugene Street true that
+Javier Garcia have you listened to more of their music. They changed thier name to pop ect. It's pretty good stuff.
+Eugene Street I've been reading comments have heard about their name change I also have been reading mixed results about their new stuff but I'll for sure check them out
This is a cover lol. But yes it is amazing!
That base part! This is what happens when a perfect amount of great musicians come together.
I only have one memory associated with this song. Sleeping at my grandparents house because my parents were out of town and there was a plumbing issue at my house. It’s an odd memory to associate with such a pretty song, but hey. Music is music
You tried to taste me
And I taped my tongue to the southern tip of your body
Our bones are too heavy to come up
Squished into a single cell of wood
I made an excuse
You found another way to tell the truth
I put no one else above us
We'll still be best friends when all turns to dust
Dum-da-dum
Da-dum da-dum
Da da-dum
Da-dum da-dum
Da dum
Da da-dum
We are so smooth now
Our edges are beaten, drift wood whittled down
Old bodies slip when they make love
We'll mine our sparks to shoot us above
10 years later and I rushed back after hearing it on a samsung commerical
Actually yeah that is why I came back!
same!
me too :)
likewise! and i still loved this song!
THATS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME
The song and this video together are the definition of friendship. God bless humanity.
❤
@@PitaBorges hola Pilar, estas de acuerdo con lo que dije?
@@Soldier_Sean yes, amazing song.
i will always come back to this song no matter how much time passes. please never delete this.
First time I ever heard this song was in the Reese's peanut butter cup commercial, instantly hooked!!!
This song just does something to my soul everytime I hear it... I get chills when they start harmonizing
This is some godlike music.
Oh yeah!
Biblical.
13 years later and this is still one of the most magical songs to me🥰
I still revisit this video so constantly
Anyone listening in 2020? I loved this song so much back when I was a young college student #memories 💕
@@BreaktheTrend same. Used to listen to these guys and all of their friends in this video fairly often between 2008-2014. Miss this wholesome SF/Bay Area music scene.
@@BreaktheTrend I’ve seen that commercial too! Brings back so many memories ☺️
I just found this gem!
Me lol, such a great song
2020 & I found this again after struggling so hard to remember the name of the band only to see them listed in a Land of Talk performance 10 min ago. My nostalgic heart aches.
Aw now I have to go relisten to Land of Talk. It's been so long.
This is a song you keep coming back to once every couple years after good deal of memory wracking
my father introduced me to this song, it's such a staple in my childhood. thank you for the incredibly dear memories!
Still one of the most epic and special videos I've ever seen, and I was watching this 3 girlfriends and 2 cars ago haha. "We'll still be best friends when all turns to dust"
I love this version. Coming here is like comfort food
The movie "A case of you" just reminded me of this beautiful song. So many memories ❤️
“And I made an excuse, and you found another way to tell the truth”
He sounds like he's smiling while he sings... I love it.
Oh, this song just moves me in ways I never thought possible. Such brilliant lyrics and the violins and his voice. I melt.
I heard this for the first time yesterday, I fell in love with it and was shocked that a guy who can barely speak two damn sentences in a minute was capable of singing like that.
Since I was a kid this song has sent me to another world ❤
Still does ❤
All time favorite ❤️
10 years later and still in love with this song! ♥️
This song will always feel timeless. Definitely going down as a classic track for sure!
my and my beloved’s wedding song. thank you
This song.... I can't put it into words..... IM CRYING TEARS OF JOY!!!...... his voice......AAAAHHHHH...... the storyline..... JESUS CHRIST I FREAKIN LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH!!!!
I listened to this on 2010 and I had a serious issue while trying to remember who played this back in the days, so I read all my conversation history that I had with my BFF and GOSH! Worth IT!
That just happened to me!
And now me, too!! Took me hours and I almost gave up. So glad i didn't
Happened to me. Each time I tried to recall who this song and the live recording was by, I would always think it was The Airborne Toxic Event, although I could never find the song in their discography. Until I stumbled upon my own post of this song on FB from a decade ago and finally had the joy of listening to Excuses by The Morning Benders again.
i just had to youtube “we are so smooth now” 😂
I first heard this song on the final scene of the film A case of you. It's a ball dance. Been hooked since then!
How could I forget this song... I remember listening like 10 years ago as a teenager, almost 30 now still etches in my brain. I'll dance to this song at my wedding. Such a wonderful performance.
I love the 50s style of this song. So good!
This would have to be one of my favourite songs of all time. It has a special spot in my heart. This is an incredible recording, what I would give to have been in that room!
Thank you, Samsung for introducing me to such an amazing song.
Almost 10 years since I heard this beautiful tune and I keep returning here from time to time just to remember there's still beauty in this world.
I came here at 2010 after watching Sony Bravia ad and now after 10 years it's me again here. Feeling attached ❤️
2023 still here damn I'm 32 I was so young and naive. I smile upon what was, but find happiness is what is.
yeah it's been three years and i watch this religiously never take this for granted!! cherish it
Sitting at my computer this morning and started wondering whatever happened to Morning Benders because I love this song so much only to discover Pop ETC. Had no idea but I a, so happy they are still around.
i miss this band.
Listen to POP ETC! The Morning Benders changed their name to that
Forever re watching, probably my favorite live musical recording ever. Completely absolutely madly beautiful
2020 and this song is still perfect
When I came across this song and I was sure I would never hear it play anywhere else beside from when I play it.. It played at a bowling alley on a date with this chick I was head over heels for. We made it our song. I still miss here to this day.
The backup singer in the dark red flannel is totally in love with the singer...
Not only is this song amazing, but the environment just looks so wonderful. Everyone looks so happy :)
iWASthewalrus9 That's what happens when musicians get together and create something wonderful. I miss it, I miss it a lot....*sigh!*
Had this on loop for the past 4 hours... FnAwesome.
Samsung ad..I knew now why I loved the ad. Totally 4got how beautiful this song was ....
If these rumors are true, let me be one of the first raindrops in a storm of comments...
The Morning Benders is one of the greatest bands I've had the pleasure of experiencing.
From the first note of "Excuses", I was completely hooked.
I went on to listen to Big Echo and Talking Through Tin Cans religiously.
I can even say Chris Chu is a musical idol of mine.
I'm going to miss em.
But lets not grief. Whats done is done.
Lets just embrace the fact that we enjoyed them and share their music.
♥TMB♥
every now and then I remember finding this video on youtube YEARS ago and the live music just making my chest feel like it soared. Still hits man
SAME. exactly.
365 people have no idea what they’re talking about. Anyone with a smidge of musical background can appreciate this. I’m so glad I listened to this again. We need more of this in 2020.
This guy is a genius.. holy crap. Conducting, singing, playing guitar, it's unfair.
Yeah, wow, it really is something to see it all put together. There used to be a word for composers who make music like this: Genius.
one of the most underrated band in the world. I listen to this song every year
Man, the nostalgia. This session is still special, crazy it’s been 10 years. Anyone know where to find Big Echo (and any MB album for that matter) on vinyl?
I've Loved This Song Every Since I First Heard It On The Reese's Commercial. Great Song
Shoutout the Reese’s gear commercial. Such nostalgia
I first heard this almost 10 years ago...and it still moves me. I am so grateful I got to experience this in my lifetime. Bless them.
Does this sound like a lost track from in the aeroplane over the sea to anyone else?
YES YES YESSSS!!!!
I can see that, but really just in the percussion
I actually thought this was a neutral milk hotel song the first time I heard it :o
This truly never gets old, if not better every time...
I listen to this song once a day...I have for the past year. It keeps me sane, gives me hope, reminds me of the beautiful things left in this world. Love everything about this masterpiece.
I can always come back to this knowing it's going to put me in a good place.
Still Goosebumps everytime I listen this after how many years🎼🎵🎶
I think that the method of recording with a large group of people is BEAUTIFUL. It must be so uniting and exhilarating being all scrunched into a smallish recording studio with all those people making music.
Thank you, The Morning Benders, for your beautiful music and words :) Your music fills my whole being with joy!
CHUCK brought me here...Feels like GOOD OLD WAR...and this is MUSIC...nice one THE MORNING BENDERS i love this song...and now LSS strikes me...
I remember watching this since it merely had 200k views. I'm glad to see so many more people liking it, yet I think it deserves millions of more views.
Love the story of the process, the meaning of the song, and the melody ❤️ this song is perfection
I wish I could've been there. Not to see the performance, but to convince Christopher Owens to keep Girls together.
Great rendition of an old song....they did a great job showing the recording of it. Just pleasant to listen to.
Who did the old song?
I don't care about the past of the band. All that cares is the amazing music that I get to listen to over and over again!
