Same ! Lol. Always watch this video to feel the nostalgia of feeling like I have my whole life ahead of me. Oh, how things change. Graduate between 2009-2012?
I love this song it makes me happy, you all do such a beautiful job, its different and just very sweet. Thank you and I wish you much more success bless you.
You're ability to play unique but appealing sounds is matchless. You create amazing instrumentals that simply translate to purely unique sounds. As a fan of yours since 2010, and still a huge fan of yours after 4 years of army servlice, keep it up! Do not let the opinions of others dictate how you play your music. It matches everyone's perspective that enjoys the small and simple, yet huge parts, of your music!
Fuckin' eh!! This came up on my "Facebook Memories" today from a few years back. Totally forgot all about it, haven't heard it in years, but as soon as I started listening to it, it all started coming back. Sooooo beautiful, so good. Thank you Facebook and thank you Freelance Whales. :)
For some reason, whenever I hear this (starting at 1:10), I can see hundreds of black and white penguins running in a breathing mob across icy, glistening sheets of ice in the Arctic somewhere. Running, shuffling, moving penguins. I don't know a lot of songs that give me the same visual as this one does!
I wouldn't have them change a thing....I still love this performance as much now as I did when I first saw-heard it years ago...yes, it was someone who had shared it on FB - so glad....
Well wadda ya know,young musicians who are actually very talented and sound great,there may be hope after all,definitely will catch them live at Mohegan Sun.I'm a 75 years old retired musician who has no tolerance for what passes for some music today so this is very refreshing;true talent.
James Parr lmfao 😂 true. It's very hillbilly with the type of instruments they chose but for w.e reason I love it & I'm Puerto Rican. It puts me in a trance & makes me feel relaxed. Lol
This band is way cooler than I imagined. The vocals and the melody are impecable. Another band right to my obsession list! Thank you, Darren, thank you StarKid
wrrd. i used to work for starbucks and this song definitely describes the mood of every store across the counrty. very nice theme. i just finished buying it off itunes. 99cents, u cant beat that. nice!
I just saw the Chevrolet commercial and heard your song in the background. I was like, "NO WAY!!!" and was really excited because it really was your song. Yayayayayayay!
This was the anthem of my junior year of high school. I’m still here for it.

Same
Here from 2021
Loved this song so much... I'm still in shock and in tears... We will miss you, Chuck Criss... ❤️
My 9th grade teacher used to play this everyday he came into our class. I miss him, amazing teacher. Fantastic song, super nostalgic.
I really really wish chuck knew how much his music actually touch people's souls, RIP Chuck❤️ thank you for your art....❤️
Listening to this again, so sad Chuck is no longer with us. RIP.
Yeah i came here too after the news. May he rest in peace😔💔
RIP man….
What?!?!? What happened? 😢😢😢😢💔
@@tanyajl5769 He took his life
RIP One of my favorite bands to listen to and look back
This song is so relaxing. I always listen to it when I am in need of some calm.
11 years ago, this changed my preference in music. Sheer brilliance.
I'm back after a year. Love the harmony of this always.
Great track , just beautiful, after nine years
I was so obsessed with this album when it came out. There was nothing like it in the cultural landscape of the time.
"and when we quiet down the house chants on without us"
I don't know what it is about those lyrics I just LOVE them. I don't know why.
I KNOWWWWW whoever writes the lyrics for the band is an absolute genius in my opinion
There are sevaaaaaaral ways to spend a night. Listening to Freelance whales is most definitely on the list.
Most beautiful thing I've ever seen I love this song and them!❤️
Please put this song back on Spotify :(
I have it in a Spotify playlist...
It’s on Spotify
Idk about the live version but the original is on Spotify
Depends on the region unfortunately, not available in Europe
Rest in peace, Chuck Criss. I'm still shocked by this heartwrenching news.
This music always makes me feel good when I am down, thank you Freelance Whales.
Thank you chuck for helping me find this!
There is a pure, wonderful lifetime of whimsy and love captured in this song.
rip chuck, you will be severely missed 🖤
I love this song it makes me happy, you all do such a beautiful job, its different and just very sweet. Thank you and I wish you much more success bless you.
my favorite part is where they say "Ah ah ah ah ah ah"
Props to NPR for picking up such amazing artists and showcasing their work.

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

I read your name as "nickelbagboy"
docfabz Haha I like that.
+nickbagelboy ;)
I love the tone of this, the way it all falls together is amazing. The timbre of this song is blowing my mind, great job Freelance Whales.

I don't know a lot of songs that give me the same visual as this one does!
Omg I love your point of view on this song-
Penguins are cool too
i wish i couldhave found this band sooner. They're music is so calming
i love bands where every one sings :3
I wouldn't have them change a thing....I still love this performance as much now as I did when I first saw-heard it years ago...yes, it was someone who had shared it on FB - so glad....
this song hits different now that Chuck is gone. Rest in Peace.
I love the simplicity and the beauty of the song.
BEST PART: You can hear all five instruments separately :D
this song always makes me cry, it's so beautiful.
RIP Chuck ❤️
This is freaking beautiful. Honestly blew me away.
Well wadda ya know,young musicians who are actually very talented and sound great,there may be hope after all,definitely will catch them live at Mohegan Sun.I'm a 75 years old retired musician who has no tolerance for what passes for some music today so this is very refreshing;true talent.
This is my favorite type of music! It's so happy
and the xylophone was overwhelming...
i absolutely love this song
It’s killing me that they don’t make music anymore
That's what I really don't like about finding small music channels. They're always amazing, but they last uploaded like a decade ago.
@@liamhenderson7367 one of those smile because it happened situations.
Yeah, I'm smiling because it happened and I still have the songs. I just wish I was there when it happened :(
Me too😥
So addictive, I find I can't go a week without listening to this song.
Chris Pratt? Is that you?
This song is stuck in my head!
I love this song! :D
Starbucks commercial brought me here years ago. Now I'm here once again.
same here it just popped up in my head glad I remember this!
Bruh
This song is the definition of goosebumps.... I cannot wait to see them live!
This live version definitely needs more cowbell.
OMG i love this song ive had it on replay fr like 3 days straight
is that a file cabbnit
it's a harmonium
Is that a statement or a question.
That is a harmonium which is an Indian instrument. It's kind of a key board
Brogan Knebel great minds think alike...i thought the same thing lol
this song is so unique and has a way of makin me feel relax
RIP chuck
couldn't be happier to have stumbled across this amazing music you are making. beautiful
THIS SONG CAME ON DURING MY YOGA CLASS.
i wish there was more bands like this.....they create beautiful music!!!!!
Anyone else here in 2019?
Jamie Lillywhite bro I’m here in 2020 now my son :)
I like this a lot. This is one of those songs that are impossible to replicate in a cover.
what kind of instrument is that lady playing? it looks like she's opening a file cabinet door...amazing song though btw
harmonium
Words can't describe how amazing this is. The instruments they're playing are INSANE!!! I love it x1000000
Can someone hear the guitar?
This is amazing to listen to as the sun us rising.
360p .... really? 1999 called, they want their camera back.
+coldoath They also wanted their jokes back; the camera can wait
when they start singing, I always feel like i'm about to cry, this is amazing music.
360p are you kidding me npr
I wish this whole song was on Spotify. I need more of it.
Absolutely horrible mixing, but great band, and great song!
Thomas Sublewski can’t hear the guitar at alllll
I can't stop watching this video!!! They're really good & I love this song!! :) xx

James Parr Yaaa
James Parr lmfao 😂 true. It's very hillbilly with the type of instruments they chose but for w.e reason I love it & I'm Puerto Rican. It puts me in a trance & makes me feel relaxed. Lol
you underestimate us.
Nothing has ever made me this happy in a while.
LOVE this! I'm so happy I discovered this band :) they make me smile.

A friend sent me the link to this song and I haven't stopped listening yet! Loving the box-bagpipe-accordion.
My ears just melted with joy.
First song that I've actually truly wished was longer. Well done, I love you guys.
My dad blasts this song on his car radio while he drives me to school. Needless to say, it makes my day just that much better. c:
This band is way cooler than I imagined. The vocals and the melody are impecable. Another band right to my obsession list!
Thank you, Darren, thank you StarKid
This has been up for two years, and it doesn't even have a million views? How is that possible? This is so fantastic!
Great music!! Different then most and certainly enjoyable. I'd love to hear more from them
Saw these guys at the Showbox in Seattle last night, they were awesome.
