Doug Martsch (Built to Spill) "The Weather" Acoustic version at my friend's wedding

[@apocalypsegirl666]

I might actually get married if Doug would play at my wedding :)

[@korypo303]

They're not even looking at each other and kissing and embracing. Don't get married. Love is economic and a joke. Don't make that mistake!

[@JohnDroningAround]

In my case, I love ol doug, but my wife is a swifty... kinda clashes... we're divorced lol

[@jaredhoward499]

I like built alot. and learned this song and I play this song for my daughter when she was a baby in her crib to go to bed for her

[@bbbeans]

Doug in a suit. Amazing.

[@GabrielRamos-ji9gu]

bbbeans gotta wears suit at a wedding

[@deltaspill]

wouldn't be surprised if he wore his trailblazers T-shirt

[@saidinjest]

He's come a long way since he got busted for weed on that highway cops show in the 90s ha.

[@Esquire-ul9xs]

Perhaps the single most surreal thing I've ever seen in my life... and hauntingly beautiful at the same time!

[@pcgreen]

No down votes. There is good in the universe.

[@nathanjamesbaker]

One year later, and still no thumbs down.

[@TokenTombstone]

if you know you know

[@alexmize6852]

That because we’re at the center of the universe ;-)

[@gr3saeyend]

:(

[@jerrymalerry8452]

@@gr3saeyend we came at the same time

[@wnd2845]

Naw man! I’d be fukn balling my eyes out😭😭😭 I love this song and it has a hold over me that I can’t even begin to explain.

[@lopey5035]

And of course he came there and delivered nothing but his best. What a fantastic musician.

[@Sandstorm3313]

That church reverb really is something

[@jasonshields9443]

What a humble, beautiful person Doug is. This is amazing

[@southrules]

Wow The coolest wedding in the history of all weddings

[@davetaylor5239]

Hey! My girlfriend back in the day was friends with “the bride.” I always thought it was super cool that her uncle was “Doug,” and this makes it even cooler!

[@nickpalma2782]

What a beautiful version. I love how he just ends it at walks off with such humility. Thanks for this post.

[@jclaybaugh2]

He’s an absolute gem, incredibly humble. First met him in 1992 and I don’t think he has changed much

[@mbroughton02]

What a guy.

[@ChrisWeinert-i8f]

Legendary wedding

[@meteorockogist]

As someone who is about to graduate from meteorology school, and someone who is in guitar classes, I’ve probably watched this video 1000 times by now. So amazing. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful performance.

[@dudemanaric]

This is our dream recorded on camera. Who's crying? trick question.. everybody is crying....

[@DAFIZZIF]

Beautiful. One of the only times I've seen Doug not using "Ben." Thank you for letting us into this intimate moment!

[@MarieJesne]

I'm out of the loop, who's Ben?

[@uraba624]

His usual guitar.

[@turtlish2]

See at the end? It made the bride cry :)

[@mikequinlivan8842]

This is the most awesome thing! I just got to hug Doug in Sioux Falls. He just stood in front of me and smiled. God, nice guy. And congrats to the lovely couple!

[@projecta]

I met him once too .. told him how a rotten girl introduced me to him and his music... he laughed, it made me laugh... great guy.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

I was tripping on shrooms & mdma one night,and I listened to this song over,over& over...the drugs brought out ALL the different subtleties is has that you cant hear while sober... This song,and all their other songs are incredible...but this one REALLY IS SOMETHING, on mdma&shrooms ofcourse

[@KnutKniffte]

This is the best BTS song imo.... Oh wait...they are all great!

[@teppeiando]

Wow that's like a dream.

[@PlasticBeach666]

that's a very sweet gift.

[@nicklacke267]

It was the most touching thing I've ever seen at a wedding or family event.

[@greenmachine6638]

That might be the coolest thing ever 🥲

[@abt6419]

I wish he was my uncle too😮 what a blessing

[@hectormaradona7889]

que humildad que tiene este notable y enorme musico

[@augustusmustus6217]

So cool...like Doug said "there's Nothing wrong with love"

[@weirdbardward]

This is so very beautiful. Only thing that could make it better is if someone popped out from behind the altar with a recorder around 1:42 to play that sweet doooooooo doo-doo doo-dooooooo part.

[@decafdropkick]

Well shit, now I want to find a time machine in order to do this.

[@dudemanaric]

This is the best video on the entire internet Doug. You looked at us playing in Portland, Maine front row. Always talked about this being a perfect wedding song. Beautiful.

[@psychkosys]

I'm blown away. Well done, Doug.

[@TechmediaFilms]

and just like that, this made my day!

[@badger98]

Is there another recording of this somewhere? I vaguely remember seeing the same scene shot from a different angle, which captured the bride's reaction (a wonderful moment) as well as a better view of those arpeggios and chord changes.

[@patrickcrow5042]

"the stars gravitate toward you..."

[@captainribeye]

Four years and not a single downvote!

[@trenttueller9994]

This is awesome. My dream is to have Doug play at birthday party or some other special gathering of mine.

[@reisenlaniakea7374]

It made me cry... to often.

[@FellDestroyedMusic]

That was perfect

[@DixonCider954]

So glad I found this video

[@kylehamlet1650]

Wow. Absolutely beautiful.

[@MeanManu]

Best wedding ever

[@daphne-blue]

so soft and sweet 💙

[@serenaramone7530]

Vai Dagghino. Numero uno !

[@nugtheband]

[@jackaro2]

That's is so awesome! I'm asking Doug to play at my wedding ;-). Beautiful song

[@gamewizardks]

Fucking WOW. Congrats to the bride and groom.

[@thomasrainbow]

[@melodicchronic5181]

To be related to Doug. . .

[@elsquibbs]

This is awesome!

[@jackonearth]

beautiful

[@filipemecenas]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@iangillespie4013]

This song was my wife and my first dance at our wedding. We just didn’t have Doug there to sing it.

[@christopherlaskoski189]

WHAT.......are you even kidding with this????????????? WHAT.......

[@justinsmith8924]

lucky!!!

[@dudemanaric]

Who are these people and how did he get doug to come to their wedding? aamzing

[@euminkong]

These people are friends of Doug not fans of Built to Spill.

[@searinggaspainland]

Some context regarding how this performance came about and where it took place would be appreciated.

[@nicklacke267]

Good call. I'll update the description but the short story is that Doug Martsch is the bride's uncle.

[@badger98]

What's the second chord? Just E minor? But he's added a couple of notes to the arpeggio.

[@AlystrZelland]

You're right about the chord, but I don't think he added any notes to that one in particular. His hands stay pretty stationary and none of them out of line of an Em triad.

[@dudemanaric]

Apparently this is the first wedding song.

[@cichlidcichlid]

Well I'll be....

[@drowninglifeguards]

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?! And what the fuck is wrong with those people?? CLAP, DAMMIT! You just got a free, intimate Built to Spill performance! p.s. balding must run in that family

[@nicklacke267]

To most of the people in the audience, this guy is Cousin Doug...which is the thing that blows my mind. And actually, I do remember applause but I guess I stopped filming before then?

[@adamlangdon11]

I can't believe that just happened.Fuckin weird.

[@literaticrux8292]

This is the weirdest (yes in that sense) thing Ive ever seen on KZbin.

[@davidkrause7976]

How awkward. Play the ceremony. Not the wedding
