He's the original triple-threat: sings, plays guitars, and operates the elevator. Incredible!

[@worksucksiknow]

his voice is better here than the album version

[@Welihy]

The decemberists are without question the best band in the world, and this man is withoht question the best singer/songwriter in the world. In my mind, anyway. Disagree if u want, I truly don't care.

[@LipsLikeSugar78]

LOL @ 2:30!!!!! hahaha! ;) This is such a beautiful song. Great performance of it, too.

[@Saffira]

I totally noticed that to. XD I think that's great, I like bits and pieces of information that lead me to beleive celebrities are indeed, human. He sounds GREAT live/acoustic/in an elevator though. Blows me away!

[@chunkstar01]

that was awesome

[@sheldonrayvance]

Great acoustics in there..lol...awesome song!

[@Rev1205]

nearly fell off my chair at 1:09 when he pressed the button on the elevator...while singing the chorus...and he's laughing throughout the song. I love his attitude, seems like a great guy. :)

[@JesseDonovanCovers]

I love this video :)

[@worksucksiknow]

Lyrical, Indy. Love it.

[@ClarisseOrwell]

whoo, that was great

[@libracordial]

Awesome. such an entertainer. and he almost had his smashed!

[@Oddestgoddess]

this amazes me

[@ZassouGita]

arrgh, his voice!!*-* nice to see some real artists out there

[@JustFortheRecord66]

@jennobunz I've since bought the album this song is from and like it a lot, had never heard of the group before. Colin's voice reminds me of Edward Kaspel of The Legendary Pink Dots, from the 80s.

[@Vabulous1]

That makes two of us!

[@macklilly]

ive seen comments on here about how he meses up the lyrics but he doesnt ive listened to this so many time trying to find it but can its perfect he doesnt mess up at all :) oh how i love him :)

[@Escocobar]

HAHA! awesome! I met him before he really is a cool dude!

[@scumbelina23]

i could not love this man more if i tried

[@blueberryhead01]

I think I'm in love with Colin xD Dammit Carson Ellis.

[@1839ru]

I love his voice

[@robyculver]

@farah46966 If I had to guess, it was at the tail end of an interview with VPRO in the Netherlands at whatever hotel he was staying at while he was in town (guessing Amsterdam or Rotterdam). They talked him into playing a song and the elevator was the best place to record it. Elevators are like a vocal booth if you don't mind a little bit of ambient noise.

[@mushro0mancy]

i really love his face when he sings the chorus

[@IslandersFan11]

Love it.

[@tonksloopy]

"...and while your head is spinning, hold tight, it's just beginning..." :)

[@FrankIer01smyHi3r0]

love it! I get to see these guys on Tuesday *dies* and I'm gonna go with my new emo fringe *haha* thank you for this

[@cilantrolime]

This is the most 2000's comment I've ever seen xD How are you doing now? Also, how was it?

[@redacted1402]

i love this comment, this is such a 2008 comment

[@sglgiles]

How peculiar.. loved it. if only because i can see how he is doing the Am.. been having trouble with that

[@theQuietWire]

"Going down :) "

[@theQuietWire]

My soul is so pleased and amazed to have seen this! Thanks!

[@VictorianBeauty1878]

@cbporches Oh, I know, but a girl can dream can't she? You're very lucky. I'm a few hours from Seattle and still haven't managed to see them yet. I will though. Thanks for the head's up! I'll look. :)

[@Finneyboyanimations]

Aaw I loved this vid, he's just great :D

[@MrtyMrtn]

Fukin' awsome!

[@MiaPatton1]

Oh, thats the cutest thing. Im now in love.

[@carleeeenm]

hahaha, brilliant and original.

[@Biverix]

@phantasmo14 This Colin Meloy fellow has a band and they're called the Decemberists. They're quite exquisite. I suggest looking them up.

[@pinoy51289]

love this dooche

[@savoirfaire41]

Great!

[@pablo2006b]

Wow, amazing shit dude.

[@aperkausn]

Not only was it was a good performance, but it made me laugh. I bet Colin Meloy is a damn fun guy to be around.

[@hkyquidditchplayer13]

@macklilly he messes them up slightly in the beginning. he says "i found you, parents wanton", and the line is usually "you come from parents wanton". its a tiny error thats hard to even notice, and i think it adds to colin's awesomeness. he's so adorable. plus it's his song so he can sing whatever he wants haha

[@va5el1ne]

Bahahaha he does a bit!! This is lovely.

[@RielleRoselle]

lets share him? dreamy much!

[@DopeEd]

this song is cool.

[@faetheyay]

Cuuuuute~

[@DogmeatFilms]

I'm here because the video linked to reddit ended and now I'm watching this dude.

[@Bout_TreeFiddy]

That's me in the corner

[@trinasears742]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@cleansquid]

tis tru, this is great

[@jennobunz]

i'm inlove

[@jennobunz]

@somethingofyours he said he grew up listening to the beatles and stuff, so it's natural for him to sing with a sort of accent.

[@vveaponx]

Not that it matters a bit but clearing up misconceptions with factual information doesn't take too long in this case. He is not gay. He has been married for several years now and has a 3 year old son named Henry. An amazing artist and thank you for uploading this. Cheers!

[@Satya093]

he's so cute.

[@worksucksiknow]

when he says 'my love' he shifts his jaw. i love it for some reason. =P

[@masonstothart]

Very Very true
