[@Knotzer3233]

Mannn ya know jake? That’s pretty cool

[@thisis4ever1]

wish i knew jake 😔

[@still.horizon6238]

Ive been listening to this video for years and ive come to the ultimate conclusion that this performance transcends all mediums below it. Nate’s vocal and trumpet along with the simple and yet secure lyrics make this a underrated masterpiece and in one take i have been inspired to become like them. i love you hippo Campus

[@krvjc]

nathan holds his guitar so high to be closer to god

[@trentongarage]

(close)r to gold

[@faithgorrell3324]

I'm so happy! I can actually hear Zach singing!

[@DaheqUWant]

zach's voice sounds like velvet in this, it's so soft and pretty and warm, oh my word

[@thisis4ever1]

the bridge of this song will forever be timeless lol

[@david_sowers]

You can’t help but crack a smile while listening to this.

[@Deleteed-mo9os]

3:43 is the best part of this video good god it feels like I'm floating

[@nimbus8159]

Tests got cancelled, Groceries got cheaper, Skies got bluer, Free sushi, This song and performance :)))

[@camoore1149]

I just saw them in Denver last night and I have to say, if you ever get the chance to see them live DO IT. it's insane how good they are and how much fun they have.

[@aprilbdleon]

CA Moore it’s my dream

[@ibbypanch2573]

CA Moore I’m like a year late to this lol but I’m going to see them in Manchester in 2 weeks and words acc cannnot describe my excitement and this comment has only made it more intense of a wait :)

[@rickswing8723]

This is my favorite band of all time. It's sad that I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, and never get to experience the days of chasing live beautiful encounters of extraordinarilism. And yes, I made up that word, just for you. A beautiful cocktail of iconic lyrics, supported by skipping melodies and patient percussions, topped off with a traveling lead that takes you to the core of the song. Only to be complimented by the saving grace of the trumpets seductive balance between words, sound and vibrations. I can't believe this much talent is in one band. Much love! Oh, and the fucking guy can sing his ass off!!!

[@Magicbanana987]

Rick Swing bender mate

[@h444teligament]

Rick Swing this comment made me smile, it's clear how much you love the band :)

[@kiayaoi]

well i like the band more than you rick so you can go drown in the pacific

[@jadenreyzek9058]

The cutest and purest band to exist honestly

[@mariyoshikawa7688]

i love looking at DeCarlo bc when he isn't playing he's laughing or just smiling lol

[@M.F.233]

They always have fun in stage! I love it!

[@jersieyDono]

I'm so in awe, I can't believe there was a time when their music didn't bring me all the emotions and happiness it does now

[@sarahskievaski3667]

love this rendition. always impressed no matter how many times i watch them play live. much love for this band

[@sshylow]

I wanna see them live so bad. Keep up the great work guys! I love your music!

[@BreadCrumbINC]

Just saw them for the third time, they put on an amazing show.

[@wenisinvietnam]

NeonOrange4 it's worth it. Even if you have to travel a bit

[@madmax18840]

They are so good live.

[@tfee1243]

Gonna see them in January

[@journeycole8853]

I saw them in October and it was the best night of my life!

[@myacomstock8632]

This music speaks to my soul and Nathan is legit the love of my life

[@BigZ7337]

That was amazing, a lot of higher pitched singers aren't as good live as in the studio, but you guys sounded perfect. I might even like this version of the song a little better than the album version.

[@hannahziccardi1203]

UGH everybody vibin and smilin because they know they just made magic with this performance

[@jc-tx7mb]

look at them all boppin during the bridge !!

[@felicia6035]

[@Camila-pn1fr]

this killed me. like I'm shaking and crying and i dont even really know why it was just so beautiful holy fuck what is even going on

[@maggie-tt4vj]

Lyrics Mary packed her bags and left home on a Christmas Eve For sea soaked skies and dashing lads with cars An actress orphaned by the social constructs of her art school A victim of their esoteric rule So pretentious that she almost thought it cool But all you'd hear is La, la la la la... Purpose was a vague ideal that she would always talk on Till she fell in love with the salesman from TV Yeah, she fell in love with a salesman from TV While all of Hollywood sang La, la la la la... Pearly, pretty prize, and a ribbon box of sighs In a collared shirt She thought it wouldn't hurt Certain love of mine with the palest blue eyes In a collared shirt I thought it couldn't hurt Wood flavored kiss taste the concrete of this It really fucked with me, it really fucked with me California eyes are a death witch from design You really fucked with me La, la la la la...

[@jochlorou9975]

Thank you so much for giving us the lyrics. Love you, kind stranger

i diD NOT KNOW I NEEDED THIS

[@sofiaschiffman2407]

these boys are so underrated, like where else will you find a song like this that actually defines art

[@Usernameofeverything]

Okay, Atheists, if God isn't real, then prove 3:19-5:31 isn't CLEAR PROOF that God surely exists in this world and embodies himself as 5 beautiful and beautifully talented men......

[@stephaniemcnugg9693]

Checkmate atheists

[@aaliyahrae01]

hero god i love this chat

[@zamaz99]

If your god exists, then it is a ginormous asshole. Otherwise, how do you explain Ted Nugent and the song "We Built This City"?

[@konanoobiemaster]

as an atheist myself... you make a pretty strong argument

[@konanoobiemaster]

@@zamaz99 as an atheist myself... you also - make a strong argument. the paradox is mind-blowing.

[@pauandhercamera]

jake's little smile and nod at 5:19 is so cute, you can tell he's really proud of their music

[@tfee1243]

Nathans playing is always impeccable

[@caitlyngraves4155]

So much talent. I'm always blown away by each song they play. Definitely my favorite band right now!

[@addysenseymour850]

I don't know if Nathan's guitar is just really big or he's just really small

[@justinnep]

Addysen Seymour lol both, but the guitar he is using is pretty big

[@gabbiemeyer2583]

Nathan is very small dude

[@madmax18840]

lol yep, Nathan is short and the 335s have big bodies, but they are light

[@torrestimbo]

that's a D'Angelico though (I know, it looks like a 335)

[@Jcw3g]

thats grown up Carl from the WTD

[@aantonii]

everyone is feeling the music in that stage, love it.

[@chelsea5049]

i can’t TAKE the love I have for this band and their music

[@PoppsPoppin]

If you are having a hard time defining what TALENT means, you can simply say Hippo Campus. Absolutely synonymous :)

[@tjswbh]
