Brian David Gilbert looks like someone who used to be a normal person, but then acquired a Stand. Here, we see him as your average young man, but when he is struck by a magical arrow, he grows his hair out, dresses crazy, and acquires a very bizarre mustache, and starts becoming obsessed with video game minutiae.
"I love the sound of that word. Cuz it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here which is just wonderfully absurd." This line is unironically fantastic.
this song may be 8 years old but here are the lyrics for all of you that're as obsessed w it as me: I don't know what you expect from me, but I can tell you, you ain't gonna get it cause I'm packing my bags gonna fall off the face of the earth no more clerical work, no more papers to file no more friends to exile, no more lives to defile gonna go somewhere they don't know I exist it's foreign, exotic, gonna fly all the way to Canada they speak differently there but not so differently that I have to feel scared yeah I'm going away, yeah I'm leaving today or maybe tomorrow or next month i still have responsibility I gotta give my two weeks notice to my boss so she has adequate time to replace me but I've got bigger plans, up with the hockey fans in Canada. can a day go by without longing for that crisp air and the blue open sky? i've always loved the winter months and I sure can rock a sweater and they're too humble to admit it, but they know that their lives are better because Canada Dry is my favorite drink, can't just keep it inside, gotta say what I think gotta broken heart- I can't ignore it, but with public healthcare, i can sure afford it you know what I'm talking about cause I'm just talking "aboot" Stan Rogers, the maple leaf, lumberjacks, and moose, it's Canada I love the sound of that word cause it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here which is just wonderfully absurd yeah I'm going away I'll be leaving today or maybe when I'm older I'll be getting there someday though it might not be now or I'll forget about all my hopes and dreams and fears and just stay down, on the latitude scale though it might pale in comparison. o~oo~~~
As a canadian, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at this. The stereotypes are very very humorous, but the actual emotion of the song is something I can definitely relate to and makes me very sad
This song is depressing as heck, and it really shouldn’t be since it’s a beautiful love ballad to Canada, but something About the phrase “Maybe tomorrow” and other instances of that concept in this song remind me of all the times I’ve pushed something off to a later date and suffered because of it
I currently live in Brazil, and I'm so tired of this cursed place. Someday I'll come back to this video and say "I did it, I'm in Canada". Wish me luck. :p
"i love the sound of that word, 'cause it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here which is just wonderfully absurd." sticks with me CONSTANTLY. it's so good holy shit
Brian, Canada would happily welcome you (though you'd probably like to stay with Polygon) I really love this song, cause it gives a really distinct emotion of being sure you wanna do something and really change your life around, but with the doubt and desire to wait, just to make sure. It's definitely a feeling I know and one I haven't seen in songs much. Great work
I know I'm coming to this 6 years late, but please make it so I can give y'all money in exchange for having this on my ipod. this song is too beautiful for me to not be able to listen to while I cry on the train
I know brian has some talent but can we give the other one ,Jonah ,credit i think he gets ignored here in the comment section of this channel so if you see this jonah we appreciate you and your work as well
100% agree, ngl I was watchin' him Jamin' the entire video, man's is goin' hard AF on that piano, I love the energy, reminds me of my best friend Mace whenever he'd bust out his cover of I'm Bo Yo by Bo Burnham on the practice room piano in highschool
I love how the song is about depressingly abandoning your friends and family and going to Canada so they can't find you and it still takes time to just comedically rant about how good Canada is.
every gdamn 10 seconds my eyes widen again at another line or another musical moment. good lord. im not even through the whole video and this is without a doubt my new favorite altogether song
As a fellow person from the USA I resonate heavily with this sentiment. If i could pick up my whole family and move them up to Canada with me I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Would you mind if I covered your song? I play coffee shops occasionally and I think people would really enjoy this. I'd be giving you credit of course.
I know it says original, but something deep in my heart still really wanted this to be the The Littlest Hobo theme song Still, love what I got. Keep up the good work guys!
@@aidansilber2028 well, he was 19 at the time of this video, and he has a college education that he was probably in the process of getting at the time, so i doubt he had the office job the song describes. probably just thought "she" sounded right
everyone in the comments is simping for bdg, but I can't take my eyes off of scott. he reminds me of my only ex who broke my heart. damn he looks like benton
Lmao I was thinking (a similar) thing too, I was watching him the whole time instead of BDG cause of just how INTO the music you can see he is with his expressions and body language playing
I find myself in the deepest depths of the Brian David Gilbert rabbit hole, and his talents seem to be unending.
and the deeper you dig, the lovelyer it all gets :)
Aren't we all 👏
@Timothy Scheneman owo where i need it
Timothy Scheneman eyyyyy thanks 😊
Honestly same.
"can a day go by" had me shook
Gonna level with y'all, Brian did damn well at hiding his musical career until Pat exposed him live at Pax
Petition for Jonah and Brian to perform this song again to see how far they've come

Corwin Chapman His stand is his suit
the story of my life
@@sircoffeebear9358 Wait...does that mean to non-stand users see BDG in just his undies?
Stand Master: Brian David Gilbert
Stand Name: See The Day
I'm guessing he went to Egypt and then it happened
"I love the sound of that word. Cuz it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here which is just wonderfully absurd."
This line is unironically fantastic.
this song may be 8 years old but here are the lyrics for all of you that're as obsessed w it as me:
I don't know what you expect from me,
but I can tell you, you ain't gonna get it
cause I'm packing my bags
gonna fall off the face of the earth
no more clerical work, no more papers to file
no more friends to exile, no more lives to defile
gonna go somewhere they don't know I exist
it's foreign, exotic, gonna fly all the way to Canada
they speak differently there
but not so differently that I have to feel scared
yeah I'm going away,
yeah I'm leaving today
or maybe tomorrow or next month
i still have responsibility
I gotta give my two weeks notice to my boss so she has adequate time to replace me
but I've got bigger plans, up with the hockey fans
in Canada.
can a day go by without longing for that crisp air and the blue open sky?
i've always loved the winter months
and I sure can rock a sweater
and they're too humble to admit it, but they know that their lives are better
because Canada Dry is my favorite drink,
can't just keep it inside, gotta say what I think
gotta broken heart- I can't ignore it,
but with public healthcare, i can sure afford it
you know what I'm talking about cause I'm just talking "aboot"
Stan Rogers, the maple leaf, lumberjacks, and moose,
it's Canada
I love the sound of that word
cause it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here which is just wonderfully absurd
yeah I'm going away
I'll be leaving today
or maybe when I'm older
I'll be getting there someday though it might not be now
or I'll forget about all my hopes and dreams and fears
and just stay down, on the latitude scale
though it might pale
in comparison.

THIS
Its in my end of the world playlist
Brilliant lyrics, kickass piano, this duo is the BEST.
How did I come across this??? It's so old, and also so fucKING GOOD.
I currently live in Brazil, and I'm so tired of this cursed place. Someday I'll come back to this video and say "I did it, I'm in Canada". Wish me luck. :p
I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
"Canada dry is my favorite drink, can't just keep it inside, gotta say what I think," are possibly the greatest lines in any song on first listen.
Dude Scott just kills it every time. Guy's damn good at instruments
"i love the sound of that word, 'cause it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here which is just wonderfully absurd." sticks with me CONSTANTLY. it's so good holy shit
Smooth as silk
This is not what I expected and somehow exactly what I expected
Love your profile pic.
Paul Taylor thank you
As someone who has wanted to move to Canada their whole life, this song SLAPS
Same here :)))
Brian, Canada would happily welcome you (though you'd probably like to stay with Polygon)
I really love this song, cause it gives a really distinct emotion of being sure you wanna do something and really change your life around, but with the doubt and desire to wait, just to make sure. It's definitely a feeling I know and one I haven't seen in songs much. Great work
All of Polygon should move to Vancouver
well maybe he will now he's left
Jonah’s playing and Brian’s singing makes me want to float
Please put this on Spotify! It’s such a beautiful song
This feels like a superposition of a song about wanting to pack up and leave, and a parody or satire of that
What's not to love about this? Also, you guys look great in celadon hues.
Congratulations, your son is now famous for horrible laughs and being a watermelon man. Throw a watermelon at him for me. Thanks!
let her live
OMG It's the creator!
Favourite song of theirs that's yet to be remastered, maybe in the next EP/album? Maybe Tomorrow?
It wasn't tomorrow
@@paultaylor6873 :(
When he said "Canada dry is my favorite drink" I really felt that.
Yooo this was posted on my b-day. Nice. I've never met either of these men but I'll pretend it was a birthday present.
Thanks, boys.
Naw, just kidding, it's dope as hell
Pat is that you
@@haroohi8839 it's bdg's oldest brother! check his Siblings video :D
lol
@@haroohi8839 It's Pat Gilbert not Pat Gill.
I know I'm coming to this 6 years late, but please make it so I can give y'all money in exchange for having this on my ipod. this song is too beautiful for me to not be able to listen to while I cry on the train
You could do RUclips to mp3
I know brian has some talent but can we give the other one ,Jonah ,credit i think he gets ignored here in the comment section of this channel so if you see this jonah we appreciate you and your work as well
100% agree, ngl I was watchin' him Jamin' the entire video, man's is goin' hard AF on that piano, I love the energy, reminds me of my best friend Mace whenever he'd bust out his cover of I'm Bo Yo by Bo Burnham on the practice room piano in highschool
I love how the song is about depressingly abandoning your friends and family and going to Canada so they can't find you and it still takes time to just comedically rant about how good Canada is.
I love this an absurd amount
I'm just too used to the dad mustache by now, but this is great
i hope they put this on spotify, haha
every gdamn 10 seconds my eyes widen again at another line or another musical moment. good lord. im not even through the whole video and this is without a doubt my new favorite altogether song
brian and jonah were such a talented duo, yall need to come together and re-release this for its 10th anniversary!
When you're singing a blues song but you can't help hitting those Ts like a theatre kid auditioning to compete at State.
We want 2021's music Brian David Gilbert!!!!!!
As a fellow person from the USA I resonate heavily with this sentiment. If i could pick up my whole family and move them up to Canada with me I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Unbelievable performance as usual, and criminal this isn't on the radio!
Would you mind if I covered your song? I play coffee shops occasionally and I think people would really enjoy this. I'd be giving you credit of course.
Nick Bradley This is 5 years late, but does this mean you have the sheet music for this? :0
@@tagsradchannel Seconded
@@tagsradchannel I finally got around to putting the chords up on ultimate guitar if you want to check them out
As a Canadian we'd be happy to have you man
Please! please put this song on Spotify!!
Wish this was on Spotify so I could listen to it
Hit us with the Spotify release Scott & Gilbert, come on now, I'm FIENDING not to have to use RUclips to enjoy this exquisite audio experience on loop
I constantly come back to this song and I so deeply wish that Jonah would release it on bandcamp
Feels a lot like Vienna, Billy Joel.
Canada..waits for you!
I love it more than I should..
Holy shit is Brian 19 in this??
Pretty great people. Old school...
i cant believe i found a song that completely encapsulates my dream to ditch my life and relocate to the middle of nowhere in canada
I found it. A song I can really relate to and it's sung by an angle no less
Acute angle?
@@natestvedits damn right he’s cute
You're both amazing.
Thank you for this.
Why is it not on spotify
jonah release this on streaming services pls i need it
it's too good, too good dear god
I know it says original, but something deep in my heart still really wanted this to be the The Littlest Hobo theme song
Still, love what I got. Keep up the good work guys!
i forgot this song existed how?! This needs (and way down in rio) to be put on spotify or something 🥺
Still one of my favourite Althogether tracks
I am unreasonably happy that you know who Stan Rogers is
love love love, you rock.
oh my god baby bdg i love him
Does anyone have the piano sheet music for this?
forever thinking about the piano melody of this song
Wondering!
Brian on behalf of canada i will pay for you to be here
This is amazing.
Great
hello
I hope you get to do this soon
Thanks for this canada song il keep it on the front burner . Maby tomoro
2:38 oh lawd he snapped
This one is maybe 85% good.
It's 100% masterpiece
Wait is this the real Patrick Gilberrt? Brian's older brother?
@@aidansilber2028 yes, if you notice a lot of his family members commented on the video when it came out.
yum
Remake when?
this should be the new canadian national anthem
Oh Can-A-Day
anyone else think of this song and looked it up
as a Canadian, this better be serioos
Conspiracy theory: BDG is actually parallel universe Jon Cozart
Just realised u say “my boss so she has adequate time”, really appreciate using the female pronoun instead of the default he
Well that's probably just his situation. But you're right.
@@aidansilber2028 well, he was 19 at the time of this video, and he has a college education that he was probably in the process of getting at the time, so i doubt he had the office job the song describes. probably just thought "she" sounded right

I'm sorry, but the person who clicked dislike do not have a heart 😒
It's Kevin Punt
@@aidansilber2028 they let that bastard get access to RUclips from jail?
where the FUCK is the altogether's agent let alone bdg's
I thought this was going to be the The Littlest Hobo song
UPLOAD THIS TO SPOTIFY YOU COWARDS!!! please
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like God by John Lennon? Like the piano??
