"I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well. I am seeing in me now the things you swear you saw yourself." -- If you can relate to this line alone, then you'll understand, from the many perspectives, how amazing this song is.
It's been almost 10 years since i've discovered this song ; and this video in particular; and it gets me crying every single time. It's flayed. It's raw. The emotions i feel are overwhelming. Im so thankful for RUclips to have this performance cristallised here forever.
people want to talk about people lacking talent and not hitting the right noes but honestly pure emotion will always make up for that as displayed in this video
the album verson is just amazing but this... this is just .... it makes me speeachless everytime i hear it its so amazing i can't beleve it keep up the great work chris keep
"Defense is paper thin- just one touch and I'll be in too- deep now to ever swim- against the current" Epic song. Always loved it. Even more when he sings it like he just doesn't give a f*** what people think of his vocals with no touchups. 240p. Heartfelt.
This reminds me of my ex-girlfriend She told me she loved me and that a lot of me was great though I didn't agree We wanted to get married but I ended up doing a lot of things wrong and didn't love her as she deserved so she left me I still love her and always will I feel a lot with this song and I guess the only thing left to do is to clean myself so I can see the thinks she swore she saw herself in me
This is a dash song I had always writen off because of its association to Spiderman. But years later and upon viewing of this vid I realize I missed somthing really beautiful. Chris is the most powerful vocalist I have ever heard.
Hope dangles on a string Like slow-spinning redemption Winding in and winding out The shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in So mesmerizing so hypnotizing I am captivated I am Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right, I swear I'm right Swear I knew it all along and I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So clear like the diamond in your ring Cut to mirror your intention Oversized and overwhelmed The shine of which has caught my eye And rendered me so isolated So motivated I am certain now that I am Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right, I swear I'm right Swear I knew it all along and I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So turn up the corners of your lips Part them and feel my fingertips Trace the moment, fall forever Defense is paper thin Just one touch and I'd be in too deep now To ever swim against the current So let me slip away So let me slip away So let me slip away So let me slip against the current So let me slip away (4x) Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right, I swear I'm right Swear I knew it all along And I am flawed, but I am cleaing up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself Slight hope It dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption
He was sick when he sang this. He deserves a lot of credit to even perform. And it shouldn't matter if he is a little raspy, the fact he has the balls to do it completely overrides it.
I know the feeling Mr I made the same mistake and even twenty years later she will not even speak to me and seeing her married with a daughter and me still single not married. You learn a hard lesson from your own mistake's. I have never forgiven myself for my selfishness all those years ago.
@PainlessTragedy idk, this is a true acoustic version. It is hard to do yell like this without being raspy, and you can't use machines to help you because it is acoustic.
@iamnider Theres this thing, im not sure if youve head about it, its pretty neat... but im not sure i can let you in on it..... gosh... i guess i will, its called a VOLUME BUTTON!!!
@RawrMeansLuvYa yeah raw was right . . . Dashboard Confessional was the biggerst emo influence in the music industry i know it cus ive been a fan since he was on the FSF band . . . i dont want to bash anyone but jhon V. is just one of the biggest fan of Chris C. . .
Same reason Budweiser outsells handcrafted brews. Quantity over quality. Be grateful you like edgy. As long as there are the Britney Spears of the world stuffing the airwaves, you'll have to hunt and peck after the good stuff. Personally, I'd love to hear him on a cigarbox gitar!
it sucks that he was sick when he recorded this.. i wanna hear him do it again when he is better lol.. he sounded great but he strained to hit those high notes he normally would hit so easily

2:45 til the end is just pure emotion. God, chris is such a great artist.
From the beginning till the end

This version is phenomenal. No song in the world makes me feel the way this one does. Shivers.
Gods.. this version.... i just couldn't look away. All that emotion!
the album verson is just amazing but this... this is just .... it makes me speeachless everytime i hear it its so amazing i can't beleve it keep up the great work chris keep

Chris puts every fiber of his being into his performances.. it's pretty amazing. :)
you can hear the emotions so well as he sings this song. amazing.
This reminds me of my ex-girlfriend
She told me she loved me and that a lot of me was great though I didn't agree
We wanted to get married but I ended up doing a lot of things wrong and didn't love her as she deserved so she left me
I still love her and always will
I feel a lot with this song and I guess the only thing left to do is to clean myself so I can see the thinks she swore she saw herself in me
i wish that song went on forever!
it went thru july 2020 :)
Love this song.. His smile is beautiful 💓
i love this song forever and ever....
He started off rough but you can tell he puts so much heart into it. He's gotta love what he's doing. Ended it great
woah!!!!!! I can feel chills down my spine just by watching this!
amazing, spectacular... song
This is so bloody amazing.
You are a beautiful person, don't sell yourself short. Every human is beautiful in their own regard.
I love this song. The acoustic version is awesome.
he sings it with such passion, its a great version.

I love this song!!!
@binderhuffer i cant imagine bearing such a loss man. i hope your alright we all make mistakes, and im sorry for your loss
incredible.
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow-spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing so hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated
So motivated
I am certain now that
I am
Vindicated
I am selfish I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So turn up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my fingertips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in too deep now
To ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away (4x)
Vindicated
I am selfish I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaing up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
wow no words for his feelings!!!
what a beautiful guitar
awesum the way he sings " i m flawed" is super awesum
I still think this is the best version of this song. Both versions are great but this version captures more of the real emotion.
Amazing!
God I love him 💙🎼🌃 I love his voice.. truly blessed he is.. this song helping me thru some sad times now..
The energy... damn! :D
wow.. just.. wow.
My favourite song!!!
you can feel the emotion of the song.
the ending is epic imo, he was screaming in a lot of emotions rofl
just went through a breakup and now im about to cry. ..great ,fucking to good of a song lol
i like the strain, it fits in. sounds really good ;))))
wait! officially my favorite!
omg i really really like dis song!!!!
He was sick when he sang this. He deserves a lot of credit to even perform. And it shouldn't matter if he is a little raspy, the fact he has the balls to do it completely overrides it.
It is listen his other performances.He nailes this.
daamn,
that end gave me goosebumps (:
Still the best version of this song I have heard
I really like it :)
amazing
Pure.
Even when he's sick, Chris sounds fucking awesome.
Rotger has just OWNED YOU! Wthame
Cheer up mate...thats what we call life!!!!!!!
awesoooooooome...
yes this is the best version so far....very fuckin good.....the roughness of his voice makes me feel good......
yeah!
muito bom...com alma
i love you to the moon and back!!
Chills...
if i could play this song id play it everyday
I know the feeling Mr I made the same mistake and even twenty years later she will not even speak to me and seeing her married with a daughter and me still single not married. You learn a hard lesson from your own mistake's. I have never forgiven myself for my selfishness all those years ago.
this is how its supposed to be and its great
nah, i like it this way. sounds good. I love this band acoustic much more than in studio. Live is their niche.
gibson j185, i believe. maple body sounds so good
October 22, 2019 here 😊
at 2:48 and onward.....THAT is Dashboard Confessional
@irelevance

thanks
i love diz song...ayihh...themesong me ken yakals q.achocho
Hi thanks
Weirdly this video was my first introduction to Carraba back in 2008
@PainlessTragedy idk, this is a true acoustic version. It is hard to do yell like this without being raspy, and you can't use machines to help you because it is acoustic.
CHRIS MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE DAMN I WANT THAT RELATIONSHIP OR DAMN SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT... BAADASSSSS
Great¡¡¡¡¡
I wonder if there is a better quality of the acoustic version of him.
don't worry, Chris, you're so handsome. You can do it! XD
@iamnider Theres this thing, im not sure if youve head about it, its pretty neat... but im not sure i can let you in on it..... gosh... i guess i will, its called a VOLUME BUTTON!!!
i think he's about to have a coronary
@RawrMeansLuvYa yeah raw was right . . . Dashboard Confessional was the biggerst emo influence in the music industry i know it cus ive been a fan since he was on the FSF band . . . i dont want to bash anyone but jhon V. is just one of the biggest fan of Chris C. . .
He was sick when he did this, at least he had the guts to do it
Damn he´s good.
You may want to make sure it's in your range. You may have to sing it in a lower key if its too harsh on your throat.
He is usually a great live singer - he had to have been sick this day.
12 people who have no idea what a real passionate song sounds like
Same reason Budweiser outsells handcrafted brews. Quantity over quality. Be grateful you like edgy. As long as there are the Britney Spears of the world stuffing the airwaves, you'll have to hunt and peck after the good stuff. Personally, I'd love to hear him on a cigarbox gitar!
i love u
I wanted to shout along with him.
i love that it starts off kinda bad haha, makes the end better
he is sick here guys, you didnt heard the news about this video.
Who's here because #emoisnotdead? XD

it sucks that he was sick when he recorded this.. i wanna hear him do it again when he is better lol.. he sounded great but he strained to hit those high notes he normally would hit so easily
