This is one of the most well written songs most people will never know about. Here is to those that found it.

[@AvonBarksdale024]

Perfectly said. This song is just absolutely amazing in every way a song can be.

[@ILLNOIZE]

Everyone already knows

[@brandonlowery2794]

Where is everyone at with this song!?? Sooo good!

[@caseymcalarney6949]

Totally agree. Some of these KZbin legends never get the love they truely deserve

[@4est4head]

The way he carries himself reminds me of all my scumbag skater friends. We all need love too

[@Goonie603]

I just found Medium Build a few days ago and I think this is my favorite track so far. 88k views is absolutely criminal.

[@CosmicRideMusic]

"I used think I was someone, I see that I'm someone else." That line, among all the other great ones, just really hits me in the chest, man. I'm not even fully sure why, but wow.

[@667kinslo420]

I came for the helmet and reflecter vest 🦺 but stayed for song and performance 🤘

[@TerpSlurper0710]

You may be one of the artists that has impacted me the most in such a short period of time since I found you last year, for that I just want to thank you.

[@TheEnnis2434]

I wish you all the success in the world. A beautiful, raw performance. You’re a candle in a dark room. Thank you.

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Couldn't agree more I fuckin love this... especially the moment at 5 minutes when he says I'm the only one with so much emotion. I felt that shit.

[@TheEnnis2434]

Little update, my wife and I are finally going to see Nick play in Boston in June. It will be surreal to see him perform live about as far away from Alaska as he could get in the States. To see his hard work, passion and dedication pay off is inspiring. Nowadays even with a million ways to connect with artists, I’ve never felt more disconnected to most of them. But with Nick, it feel real, authentic, and brutally honest. In a world where everyone try’s to show off themselves as something they’re not, it’s refreshing to see someone like Nick show you the deeper parts of his childhood and life and it’s something you really just don’t get anymore. Stay true to yourself and for those reading, enjoy the little things, don’t forget what makes life worth living. Honor the past, live in the moment, and have hope for the future.

[@thedrivinghouse]

I just dedicated my entire afternoon to learning this on my acoustic guitar - my finger tips are bleeding, my hands hurt & I’m tired as shit.. but I couldn’t feel more excited, stoked and happy. Thanks Nick, you’ve helped me through a lot ❤️

[@gigibunney8298]

Would love to have an acoustic version of this recorded for Spotify (or to buy!), same with Men. Stellar voice and lyrics, excited to hear more of your music stripped down acoustically in the future, hopefully.

[@austincook3579]

3 years later and this song is still an everyday listen. So good!

[@kingdonkey4565]

You are absolutely amazing man. I’ve been looking into your music since you were on Tiny Desk and this is your best song yet. Please keep doing what your doing! - From one medium build to another 😉

[@user-rf2pf8xv5d]

I want to thank you for mentioning the Tiny Desk thing. I cant believe that KZbin hadnt suggested that to me yet.

[@kingdonkey4565]

@@user-rf2pf8xv5d look up the set with Quinn Christopherson. They went together 😉

[@drew6167]

This saved my existence more than a couple times in the last few months, glad I found Nick Carpenter and Quinn Christopherson

[@zf8744]

After all these years I can’t stop coming back to this

[@fatcapital88]

deserves more views; video is brilliant, song is heavy

[@daniellangley7071]

It's sad because I can relate to living a hard life and beautiful because of the unashamed expression of raw emotions. 10/10 I hope I can create something this good someday.

[@sarahdowell9885]

This song has brought me a solemn peace and acceptance; it's been really helpful in an otherwise tumultuous and tiring time. I'm finding it difficult to articulate, but, man, I wish you would make one million more videos.

[@marky046]

In a fucking bad spot at the moment and this song just RESONATES with me man. I can't not cry whenever I put this on

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

I feel you mate this song spoke to me too.

[@parkerh4180]

Sending you love. ❤️

[@Kk27mae]

If you played this song live when I come to your show I will STRAIGHT UP FAINT

[@Katkit91108]

I have watched this multiple times a day since I first saw it. I love it. The delivery, the song lyrics. It is so authentic and real.

[@MrMaceko]

An all acoustic album would be fantas-great.

[@tonehunter8755]

This has a real David Bazan feel, which I love. Beautiful song

[@timlecount8690]

That was my comment exactly I but quickly checked to make sure nobody else it beat me to it:) his annunciation is so much like David’s, not to mention the subject matter, chord progressions, etc...

[@Sunraegun]

I like all the safety in this.

[@zackerywright2632]

I just discovered this music while in a rehab and it has been the soundtrack of my recovery. Thank you

[@parkerh4180]

Congratulations friend. I’m proud of you. Sending you love. ❤️

[@illillliiliiilililililiili5630]

i keep coming back to this performance. great song, great writing voice. just... wow

[@mrreneboy]

This acoustic version hits deeper than the original 🔥

[@roboog4585]

I’m not crying at 6am before work

[@fnztakedown]

I think we just need a raw acoustic album of all your songs. Love this style of jams.

[@hollymcclelland727]

Same.. I much prefer this then the recorder versions

[@hawk._.nation1399]

A fucking masterpiece 🙏

[@pryan3]

Smiling, laughing, the helmet, the high-vis vest... It's a little silly, a bit ridiculous at the start... but then BAM, at 0:30 you catch that steely-eyed thousand-yard-stare and the mood changes, it's like you're right back to where you were when you belted this out the first time in your bedroom or garage... intense and honest and fkn real... ty man. There's nothing silly about this.

[@sazji]

I love this simple acoustic version! ❤

[@sabrinamasarweh7459]

This song is everything that’s in my head I just found him and I’m in love

[@JerichoLindsey]

I wish I could like this more. I've watched it at least 8 times today

[@teh_Hiko]

I love the uncomfortable laugh in the beginning. Its a perfect example of the lyrics.

[@alexandervance9313]

You deserve the best man. Dont give up on the dream! The sound, the video, your attitude. All exceptional. Take it easy bud, ill be waiting for the new release Oct. 5

[@tommyguynes7395]

I wish more people liked me, so that all the people I sent this to would like and share. Seriously one of my favorite songs. Thanks man

[@PerspectivezTV]

Please release an acoustic version of this song on streaming platforms!

[@zacharytate4321]

He did! It's called KZbinMusic!

[@swiggens9139]

This is the most cathartic piece of music ive ever heard fuck me....... so much flooding in.

[@survivalsilk2101]

just found this song and medium build as an artist and i'm grateful as hell

[@clothgown]

already obsessed

[@jamesmaher1074]

Man, this song has all the feels. Really appreciate you putting yourself out there.

[@ashleysteffen6273]

I literally cannot get this song out of my head. Ive woken up with it in my head for the last week.sticks with you.

[@boborris1317]

Cant wait to see you in Toronto brotha ❤️

[@kylekelly7474]

Dam this hits me right in the feels

[@bernoulli884]

Beautiful work, dude. I love the chord progressions you build.

[@ninastone3659]

I am happy I found this beautiful piece of music before my death, whenever that'd be. I would have missed on so much if not.

[@nickdanife3385]

Gotta love the people mover and the carousel in the background. Long live Spenard!

[@a.169]

oh god... I stumbled upon this song couple of years ago (2 maybe?) came back to check AGAIN, and this is STILL SOO UNDERRATED n it's makes me so sad. hope more people find this.

[@ryertraline]

this live is something else

[@Andy-pc8sr]

Thanks for being there for me, man.

[@sabrinamasarweh7459]

Your words have resonated with me so much. I love everything that you do.. I’m mad I just discovered you this year!

[@tommyguynes7395]

One of my all-time favorites. Been listening to all kinds of music for a very long time. The raw truth brings me back over and aver again. Pure excellence

[@joshhill6179]

This song is pure solid gold, I love how authentic it is. You are a light in the deep cold darkness brother,please stay golden !!!

[@Purpleslayerhelm]

Man I love how you looked uneasy when the video first started but as soon as you started strumming the guitar it looked like all your worries went away

[@alicelodge3679]

Hi from Yorkshire in the UK and thanks for a breath of fresh air. Love the sound, the vid and the honesty.

[@AudioNoobie]

one of my favorite raw performances ive seen in a very long time. truly speaks to me and hope that more people find you so they can experiance a master of his craft. GL to you man

[@emurffable]

I am so happy I stumbled upon you on here. There hasn’t been a single song that I didn’t want to listen to at least twice before the next. ❤ See you in DC in June.

[@FesterWerks]

Really great, love the song. Good teamwork on the shoot :)

[@kadenstoltz7386]

SO much love for you, brother. Can't wait for you to come back home

[@GregTurnlund]

How am I three years late from hearing this band? Just heard the acoustic version of Rage and it is fucking relatable. Thanks for doing what yall do.

[@jackjoans340]

This song hit me at the perfect time.

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Dude your songs are so unique. Im a musician too n you inspire me alot mate. I appreciate you.

[@Hopdon]

omfg this is one of the best songs i have ever heard.

[@xXxIncogNinaxXx]

The Jerry-Rigged set up is so perfect! Haha!

[@joshcoon5769]

Really nice song. I normally do not watch music videos till the end but this time I really enjoyed it. Go your way!

[@MasterSwift]

I love this song I've been listening to it over and over but why so little views after 6 years come on this needs more views

[@jonianddanbowen4533]

The realest song I have ever heard. Also love the video and every other thing about hearing and and seeing this.

[@aglimmerofhope5321]

Over from reddit, and yeah, that was pretty damn good. Thanks. ✌🙂

[@dareangel1082]

If you could keep your albums as close to your acoustic, or make an acoustic album, i swear on jesus you would make it....jesus....ive got quiet a few people on to this song...and its the beat version hands down period! I love you, your lyrics, and your raw voice

[@successisamindset]

This might be my favorite song ever man

[@BobbyFireRadio]

This is a goodie ❤

[@mackinnon002]

I couldn't relate to this song more. It is my dream to play and sing gigs at small town bars. Part of that dream is to take the crowd on an emotional rollercoaster. I think this song has a part of that ride. Although, I have to say... you are far from fat... you have more of a medium build.

[@TheCaliforniaDutch]

@Nick, I reckon if you made an acoustic album with some of these jams, it would really pop

[@user-rm9zx7ln9i]

Just an absolute bomb to the soul.

[@pepesilvia5248]

for the rhythm!

[@JesseNickelltheFourth]

You are good dude! Keep up the good work! Keep making music. Don't stop!

[@firehawk22]

As much as I enjoy this song (which is a ton), I can't get over y'all riding down Spenard casually recording this video 😂😂😂

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

This performance is so perfect...medium build is the ONLY ONE who could pull this shit off. Fuckin brilliant

[@In_time]

I followed along in google maps 😂 it was cool seeing what was the same/different..

[@4est4head]

The way his demeanor immediately changes after asking them how they feel

[@linleybray875]

learning this on acoustic rn and actually dissecting the lyrics ect and wow people spend their whole life trying to find love me, i spend more time scheming ways to put an end to myself or at least pull a blanket over all of the noise these lines

[@In_time]

I though by the title and the thumbnail that this was gonna be hilarious. What a sobering and beautiful song. Wow 😳

[@LaughBoxHero]

I just heard this on Oct 2, 2023. Beautiful. Thank you!!!

[@ericcalla7807]

LOve it...the idea of riding thru Spenard is qenius.....nicely done.

[@Ropzelcius]

aaaand new obsession

[@fatcapital88]

this is awesome

[@AvonBarksdale024]

That nephew line hits so hard my God

[@j.bone7774]

Your feel your acoustic music in my soul. Thank you

[@tannercooper7287]

This is a masterpiece I wish I couldn’t relate so hard

[@holliecowen2514]

Oh my God, do you speak to my soul?
