This is one of the prettiest songs ever recorded.... The breaks are perfection. No words to describe how grateful I am that this band of merry men chose the pursuit of music. All things derived from the Mighty Vulf Peck..... Masterful and played with much love.
Mike Hawk whenever I play this song as a 'DJ' I always get asked who it's by and what it is. I have to specifically say this version because the spotify version is Shiite compared to this.
I was telling my friend about my crush on Theo, and she was like, "Okay, show me a video." So I showed her this, and she was like, "He makes a lot of weird faces, and he's like, slow-humping his guitar...." And then he started singing, and she understood where I was coming from. =) I just adore this song. SO much love.
I could write a book here. I would fail in trying to express all the joy, fear, love, loneliness, anger, angst and intense solace brought on by this tremendous sound. I've in curred this overwhelming spectrum of emotions only when life altering moments forked the road. I can not say enough. Hearing this work of art nearly folded my soul and coaxed tears from my eyes. I know it must sound like i am completely lushing.

A true raising of the bar! No longer can my own decerning guide me well enough. I must in some part compare it to my findings today.
First encountered this song when I was 16, was on repeat for pretty much a whole year. Then I guess I just stopped listening. Quarantine hit and now I always come back. I listen to it in the shower, when I’m high, when I’m driving and it’s always on loop. This version is my favorite vs the studio version. Pure rawness lol. I just need this version on Spotify and I’ll truly be happy
Okay so i think i have the chrods, he grabs some fancy chord variations though but if you know John mayers style of chords variatons and combining open notes that are in the same key you'll be fine. Sorry for my poor spelling but i'm really fucking dyslectic This might not be 100% correct: What I do to figure out the chords to a song is that I first look what key the song is in. This song is in C sharp minor. So there are 7 notes we can choose out of: C#,D#,E,F#,G#,A,B It's often easiest to listened to the bass line first to know what root note each chord has. Watching a live performance to see what hey's playing is really helpfull as well, sometimes it can be a little hard to figure out what someone is playing because of their large hands though. Listening to the bass line told me this: Verse: E-A-G#-F#-G#-C#-B-E-A-G#-F#-G#-C#-B-E etc... Pre-Chorus: A-B-G#-A-B-G# etc... *(ends on A-G#-F#) Chorus: E-A-B-C# etc... (ends on C#-B-F#) Now the only thing we have to do i see if it's major or minor which is really easy to hear. You can also just look it up cause the minor F# for example doesn't fit in the C# key but the F# note does. Verse: E-A-G#m-F#m-G#m-C#m-B-E-A-G#m-F#m-G#m-C#m-B-E etc... Pre-Chorus: A-B-G#m-A-B-G#m etc... *(ends on A-G#m-F#m) Chorus: E-A-B-C#m etc... (ends on C#m-B-F#m) As you can see all of the # chrods are minor here so that's pretty easy. The melody in the verse is something like: e--------------------------------------------------------- B-4b5r4----------------------------------------------- G--------------6---4-----------------------4--------------- D-----------------------6------4s6----------------4s2 A------------------------------------------------------0------ E---------------------------------0--------------------------- There's probably a shit ton of flaws in this and it's not 100% correct but this is the best i could do in 30minutes.

3 first notes is in the same intervals from eachother, making something seem that way, and in a non-musical-term the tones are at the same distance from eachother as John Mayers slow dancing in a burning room
This song immediately puts me in mind of the end of the evening at a summer event, shoes long ago kicked off, slow dancing with the one you know you are going home with, cheeks flushed, laughter and glasses clinking as background and wistful promise....
Oh unrequited love. Falling for the people can't. Falling for the people who won't. Falling for the people who are unattainable. It hurts like it's real love, but none of the benefits - and still like a fool I dive in; spat out again. yearning resolving to not do the same again. One day.
@kevaso Thanks! IIRC - Cascade Fathead on gtr, stereo rooms (naiant x-m), shure beta 87A on vocals, DI rhodes, KEL HM7u kit mic...slammed down to Ampex 407 on an Otari MX5050. Conversion/Pres were a firepod. Cheers!
Oops. Didn't mean to remove my comment! THEO, thank you for this video! Ever since the Ark show I've been pining for this song. I'm going to share this with every soul I come in contact with.
Cool song! I like that you really get into it with feeling. Starts off very John Mayer-ish, but soon takes on an identity of it's own. Love the phrasing of the singing! Nice voice to!
this is rly beautiful. i went through like halfway thru the video thinking "this guy looks a bit familiar" - googled and it said vulfpeck. i can't believe i didn't notice the uploading channel lol
oh man, I love this. this is the type of music that is just so true...and pure, and just....wow....amazing :) I just close my eyes listening to this and smile, and just groove to it :) It is so soulful :) This is true art, true music! LOVE! Thank you Darren for sending me here. I now know where Darren gets some of his inspiration, cuz he's got this true soul too :)
You might have to just email Theo Katzman himself! I don't think there is very much music/lyrics of his online yet. The world eagerly awaits the production of more music from this gifted human being.
I hate to say that I judged a book by it's cover @ 1st...& then just sat here in awe w/ my jaw dropped--oh.my.gosh. INCREDIBLE voice & absolutely amazing song!!! & the scatting totally made my day ;) hahaha Anyway, you've got a new fan right here! -Katie
I havent yet found a stereo that can play this performance loud enough. Closest I've gotten is running into a really hot preamp then into some headphones. I just like it bleeding my ears.
i mjust admit that as soon as i saw these guys i was like "where the heck did Darren bring me? -____-" saying i was pleasantly surprised is the understatement of the century. this song is AMAAAZZZZZZINGGGG. i must own it. WHERE CAN I FIND THIS?!?!?!
There are the lyrics! THANKS EVERYBODY FOR WATCHING AND SHARING!! I can't WAIT to get this album finished. Fall 2011, y'all!

I love you.
Thank you....
For an amazing beautiful song.
i can’t wait for fall 2011!!

I reckon these guys should make a band
Maybe if they added someone on bass. Maybe Fender bass
@@cesarrojas4526 Maybe someone like Boe Fart on Dender Jass
@@pepahlustik42 maybe boe fart should get a signature bernie ball bass
Can't imagine that working out.
I think Vulfpeck is the only band in the world where the older their video is, the better the quality it gets.
PART 1
I have all my things away
In here, with me
I can get them when I need
But not today
What's the use in trying to stay
Inside the seams
Where you sticked your hopes and dreams
Back in the day
There are some who will always let you down
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
White picket castles were built to fall down
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel, but it pays my keep
Where's your white picket castle, but where you seat yourself now?
Love it!
i'm so happy theo finally has been noticed!! ive been taking guitar lessons with him for about 2 years and he really deserves this! congratz Theo!!
radiopirate95 how does it feel now haha. your a lucky guy getting lessons from him :)
that’s crazy
This comment aged very well
"Thats crazy!" -Tom holland-
holy shit
PART 2
Walk until my knees get weak
My eyes, they stare
Sunken, tangled in my hair
They comb the street
Spare a piece of something deep
For me to share
If it's something I can wear
It's yours to keep
There are some who will always let you down
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
White picket castles were built to fall down
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel, but it pays my keep
Where's your White Picket Castle but where you seat yourself now?
I like that Theo posted the lyrics in two parts 😂
Powerful song.
Always always... Thank you all for the love and sweat you guys pour into the music. It resonates in every note.
This is one of the prettiest songs ever recorded....
The breaks are perfection.
No words to describe how grateful I am that this band of merry men chose the pursuit of music.
All things derived from the Mighty Vulf Peck..... Masterful and played with much love.
theo's gonna make it big, i know it.
Decent prediction!

Mike Hawk whenever I play this song as a 'DJ' I always get asked who it's by and what it is. I have to specifically say this version because the spotify version is Shiite compared to this.
I slept so many years on this band, I feel ashamed, Well, in 2021 I'm blown away by you guys, amazing stuff!
I need to see Theo and Vulf live before I die
Me too
I have come back to this video at least 100x of the current 415k views. The room/guys/tone/talent just aligned perfectly this day. Holds up!

Theo is the best. I love the rhythm of this song, the soulful tone and the old school drums are great.

What a legend! Loved this back in the early 2010's and I still love it!
I LOVE this song and this version. Pure.
Reminds me of slow dancing in a burning room
+Ben Carney I wondered how my RUclips autoplay went from Vulfpeck to John Mayer.
3 first notes is in the same intervals from eachother, making something seem that way, and in a non-musical-term the tones are at the same distance from eachother as John Mayers slow dancing in a burning room
gentlemen, might i add it is indeed in the same key (E/C#m) and same tempo and/or rhythm, which further strengthens the similarity between the songs.
But better!
Listening to this again today and I’m as in love as yesterday.
@theokatzman I seriously can't stop listening to this song. Can't wait for the album!!

Amazingly beatifull. I am blown away.
the sound , the feel ...
I wanna give u all a big hug for such an incredible... something ive never seen... ever...
All the emotions of a particular time and tavern.
My favourite part of this video is Jack missing the cymbal crash at 4:19 and going to hit it late and JUST stopping himself.
Back again, and this is a great love making song.
Woody looks comfy :)
Why has it taken me 8 years to find my favourite song!?
Saw Theo at The Ark in Ann Arbor a month ago, great music and show! Yeah Theo!
I love it when someone you admire has amazing taste in music *cough Darren Criss sent me to you cough* and I am in love with this song!
such a sweet room
Theo is amazing
Great music..representing nyc with honor
This song is so great and I hope for more like it and much success for Theo and Vulfpeck!
truly talented guy. . . really enjoy his work
wow wow wow this was really amazing. i adore the part when he sings along with his guitar.
The best part is when Nick walks out and makes a slight mic adjustment. Lookin' good, Nick!
This feels like the Vulf Records post credits scene.

ooh my heartstrings
