Bernhoft - Choices

The new video by Bernhoft. Recorded and shot live by Hans Fredrik Asbjørnsen and Fridtjof Nilsen

[@robbybanks8917]

8 years later and I still listen to this song almost everyday. Love this tune, Bernhoft you are the master of looping!!!

[@brunadeoliveiracarvalho748]

Wow! Me too! 🇧🇷

[@JoaoMota93]

12 years now

[@kamillab7717]

People. This is no auto-tune. Live recording. Nothing but pure talent. Seriously.

[@ShyanTheLegend]

Talent doesn't exist. Only dedication and passion and 1000s of hours of practice

[@kamillab7717]

I totally agree, but I think talent is something you can practice - after 1000s of hours you get talented

[@ShyanTheLegend]

Kamilla Brandal talented means youre inherently good at something. as far as i know, the closest thing to being born with certain abilities is your IQ level

[@michal26691]

Talent is how easily you can learn particular things. If you can learn, for example, a guitar lick in an hour, when every other person needs a few days, that's talent. In this case, it doesn't matter - this guy is amazing, that's all.

[@thomasnicolaisen7312]

@@ShyanTheLegend I`m not disagreeing with you, however I`m telling you that I could spend three quadzillion hours trying to learn and do what Bernhoft is doing, and I promise you it will be horrible! I my self am a musician, I play guitar, bass and argueably the drums, but I could never combine the voice, the guitar, the loop-skills Bernhoft has in any way! The voice he has was God-given and he has perfected it! I know you can`t practice yourself to a good voice/vocal no matter how much dedication an passion you have. It`s a "you either got it or not"-thing. Trust me I`ve tried! I love singing, but when I sing, my cats leave the house!

[@SashaRaeFierce]

This man is incredible and should be way more famous than he is

[@AppleJuice009]

These Norwegian people are so talented, you can find raw talent in a small village and no one will know about it. Bernhoft should get more credit for his work, he is genuinely brilliant. Ja, vi elsker dette landet...

[@LuketheJuke24]

How the hell does he do so many things at once? Playing guitar, singing, pressing pedals, and changing guitars. And he does it all so well. Damn.

[@Naflemac]

Jarle is a norwegian wonder musician

[@JuninhoBrasil]

10 years later and still one of the best artist using loopstation, congrats my friends! you are amazing!

[@saiyanroyalty229]

Literally one of the greatest songs ever. Talent and soul perfectly blended with fun and bravado.

[@frmthesoulfiddle]

When your arms are hot and your neck is cold.

[@toddtempleton9321]

frmthesoulfiddle He took a lot of heat for that scarf

[@gdel9971]

+frmthesoulfiddle best comment,,made me laugh

[@LampsPants]

Girl told Bernhoft "Take off your neck-scarf" Bernhoft said "Neck's not hot"

[@nedandpenny2351]

When the sides of your head are hot and the top is cold.

[@Sigur509]

every song gives me chills because i havent seen anyone remotely talented in the world

[@remotelytim]

I never get tired of this type of performance.

[@havso23]

This dude was having a consert on my school when I was 12 years old, about 7 years ago! Who would have belived that he would be this famous? :D Love his music!

[@Kagome42194]

I really love how his voice sounds and it's not digitized or auto-tuned like every freaking artist on the radio now a days. Keep doing your thing!!

[@jhendriksen78]

No true musician couldn't like this wonder man w/ multi-talented hands. We here are amazed, crazed, and inspiration is raised. The music from inside now heard. My Choice is Jarle Bernhoft!

[@xodiaq]

I mean I love almost all his stuff, but the live one of “C’mon Talk” and this are just bulletproof. Absolutely floored still.

[@camillalaursendk]

I'm so looking forward to March the 28th. Bernhoft - playing at 'Skråen' in Aalborg, Denmark. I'll definitely be there!

[@beingdad4549]

[@dcarter455]

[@Borrelaas]

Tranel Hawkins pure soul

[@hizmamaz88]

[@SallyJaneHurst]

Think I'm a bit in love with Jarle too. He's awesome, mesmerising, inspiring, uplifting... I could go on. Saw him at Ronnie Scott's a couple of months ago. Can't wait to hear him again live xxx

[@Power_Fantastic]

You're fantastic man, keep doing what ya do on your terms ... !

[@MsRachelMusic]

Jarle Bernhoft you are a freaking GENIUS!!!! One of the most amazing, creative and unique talents out there! A pure entertainer :D

[@AmaneDance]

Lyrics : Choices It's always what you make it But then you and I are the same Choices Peculiar how you throw them In my face while you abstain This is all about equality I'm sure you've heard of the term somewhere No less, you've made your own reality No need to deal with me, yeah yeah yeah Why don't you shout out my name? Show my face so there's someone to aim for And I won't even try to disclaim Though I shat on the fan I did what I had to Why don't you shout out my name? Why won't you look me in the eye no more? It's just gonna be yourself Looking back at you Choices You say I made a bad one But how about yourself? Voices It's a cheap independence If you drift like a snowflake You try to hide behind absurdities Take a break and then walk on water Princess, wake up and smell the coffee Now I'll just stay awake Why don't you shout out my name? Show my face so there's someone to aim for And I won't even try to disclaim Though I shat on the fan I did what I had to Why don't you shout out my name? Why won't you look me in the eye no more? It's just gonna be yourself Looking back at you Over the hills And then even further away In this Norwegian style Send me your bills I will pay them with interest And all the best, all the best, all the best Why don't you shout out my name? Show my face so there's someone to aim for And I won't even try to disclaim Though I shat on the fan I did what I had to do Why won't you look me in the eye no more? It's just gonna be yourself Looking back at you Make your choices, make your choices Make your choices, make your choices Make your choices, make your choices Make your choices, make your choices Make your choices, make your choices Make your choices, make your choices Make your choices, make your choices

[@katrinagray34]

I still listen to this golden bird to this day

[@NicolaiGiil]

Synd at videoen bare har 125 000 visninger. Bernhoft fortjener mer en det. Dette er en super sang!

[@Dyamanti22]

I m in so love with this artist, his style is so fresh oeewww like this. My nr 1 in my recent playlist right now.

[@starsheepie]

So very talented, words can't even describe his natural ability. Definitely my fave, can't stop listening to it, singing it, and watching this vid. Not only an amazing musician and singer, but he even has this natural sexiness about him.

[@Crishhoff]

proud to be human when i hear this song ; ) !

[@EmmaSol94]

Veit ikke hva jeg skal si en gang, bare.. Jeg bare elsker deg så inn i furuskogen. Min absolutte favoritt i Norge, og en av mine generelle favoritter. Musikk er så så herlig..

[@Darknessenceify]

the best part for me, was seeing am ad for this guy on facebook, and I thought "Oh no, another pop-sensation like james morrison and the other" but I decided to listen to him, just so i would know what people were talking about, but the I realized He's awesome, and he hasn't gotten the fame he deserves

[@Aznagroth]

I didn't understand, I mean embrace the truth of these lyrics before today. I just felt this. I just experienced this. It was excruciating, mais je ne regrette rien.

[@JRODTHEVID]

My love for absolutely incredible artistry and talent is what brought me here. That and that alone

[@LOOPKO000]

Wow ! so amaging song and Live performance. Please anybody tell me about him .. so cool

[@xodiaq]

Two years later, still an absolute masterpiece.

[@misskitty310]

I can't believe this guy is not big in the US! Just awesome!

[@shiftdrifter95]

26 people don't know what real music is! proud to be Norwegian because of this dude !

[@storlify]

Damn, aldri likt denne type musikk, men denne sangen slo helt inn. Grusomt hvor mange ganger jeg har hørt denne sangen!, Muligens en ny favoritt sang. JA.

[@Chuckcherish123]

I am loving this guy! He's friggen awesome.

[@raicho20]

If there is ONE good advertisment that i've seen, it is the one spotify made for This song! I'm happy I heard about this!

[@melissavdl]

This guy + Jamie Cullum would = face-blasting awesomeness. Maybe they can collaborate in the future...

[@Koofumhead]

I want live performances now, really admire the way he creates the loops on those pedals. Brilliant.

[@idahval]

I saw him live today :D :D :D :D

[@Koofumhead]

Where?

[@idahval]

A festival in Norway

[@smokeyb321]

[@Pflomp]

I just stumbled upon that guy, and I thank the Internet. This is awesome.

[@FrasiliasPower]

@DreamBrother86A Both there and in the solo, he is playing both. The E and A-strings are the bass-strings, and he is playing both :)

[@dahl8753]

Live version is so much better than orginal on the album🙏

[@Pinkpennylanemusic]

Samme hvordan man fant videoen og hvor lenge man har hørt på han, han er en ekte artist som er verdt å høre på.

[@DenisePowell12]

can he visit Seattle soon? Music lovers here LOVE him!!!

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

I had NO idea how I slept on Bernhoft. Someone just told me about him this morning and now I'm not a rabbit hole.

[@MysilxD]

@TheTropicota Jarle Bernhoft, også kjent under artistnavnet Bernhoft, (født 27. juni 1976) er en norsk sanger, multiinstrumentalist, komponist og tekstforfatter. Bernhoft kommer fra Nittedal, men er i dag bosatt i Oslo. Rett fra Wikipedia :D

[@dravenknight420]

I am looking forward to watching his career blow up...such true talent

[@Karina-tf5be]

Still here in 2020. Still amazing

[@Yanevil31]

Trop Bon ce Mec!!! . J'ai acheté son album suite à la découverte des ses titres 'Choices' et 'C'mon Talk', et depuis, je n'arrêtes pas de l'écouter en boucle. Impossible de l'arrêter ! En plus, sa musique donne une de ces pêche! Je kiff !!! Pour quand un concert sur Toulouse ?!!! Merci pour cette bonne Musique

[@mpolinar]

utterly GENIUS!!!!! what in the world...soooooooooo good.

[@ThePopmusic93]

genius music, love it

[@iannesofie]

I am not saying that I only prefer Scandinavian music. I just really like what Scandinavian musicians are making

[@smilforsatan]

Saw him at Jelling Musikfestival, Denmark 2011. That man is a Genious!

[@kaleen4529]

...what an amazing, talented artist!!! and great lighting in this video

[@macarenacarneirotort6783]

[@frikkfrekk]

[@sinkoni]

Føler meg nesten stolt over å høre på deg Jarle! Du er utrolig talentfull og NORSK! Har aldri sett en så talentfull norsk sanger! Fortsett å gjøre det du elsker :)

[@caterinamolitierno8706]

Artista magnifico

[@Pyrofries]

@softundsicher I think it's just a not-so-incredibly-heavier gauge of strings tuned down about an octave + using an octaver pedal on the bass track... no tension worries needed

[@Hansiyoyo]

@DreamBrother86A He is tuning the guitar down, when he plays, he plays bass on the top strings, if you get it! or maybe he have mixed the sound on the top strings one octave down!! Sorry for bad english, Norwegian!!

[@soroka_bel0b0ka]

SPAN forever!!!SPAN is back!!

[@patrycjabch]

great video and of course whole perfomance

[@CaiodeCarvalho]

Excelente! Acho que a melhor voz que ouço nestes últimos anos!

[@karriqueen]

I hope the whole talk he had with ellen will get posted in here so we Norwegians can see it. I could only find a 50 something second clip of Jarle talking with Ellen :(

[@alathion]

@Teztuzer001 This is how he makes his music. I saw him live in Tromsø in february, and this is how his he plays his whole set! He's a magician and I'll be damned if you say this couldn't be recorded live because it's well within his limits!
