Jonathan Coulton - Want You Gone (first ever live performance of the Portal 2 song!)

[@Jubetube82]

That was an awesome Cave Johnson impression!

[@roycebracket]

I couldn't stop listening to the portal version, then I found this and...it gives me chills

[@thyagoalves25]

He always forgets the first word of the music: Well, here we are again...

"Just so you know, I don't memorize any of these songs." --Ellen McLain

[@AtLeastITried]

I love when that guy says redacted!

[@BittyCole]

"I feel like they're aren't any real spoilers in the song"..... the whole song is a recap of the game. lol But that was amazing. I love how he totally forgot the lyrics to his own song. So funny. "Pffttt... shit" lol

[@1849ad]

You need to be a musician, and have experienced the nerves to stand on stage perform your own song to know whats happening here. And that's pure awesomeness. Great song, and just continue playing! Love it!

[@KelleyDiamond]

Who ever said [redacted] when he messed up, I love you xD

[@rfound2567]

ANYONE HAVE A FULL TUTORIAL FOR WANT YOU GONE LIKE THE WAY HE PLAYED IT? I LOVED IT

[@Reeabuu]

Now i only want you back

[@aurelian1]

Being there for this first ever live performance helped a bit. That and getting a flub on video! Makes it more human (ironic for a song from the perspective of an AI character).

[@blazer4ice]

I'm seeing him open for TMBG on Sept. 25 in Tulsa. I can't wait!!!

[@szimmerman192]

"We're just throwing music at the wall, seeing what sticks!" Hahahaha.

[@Actomain]

Love this friggen song!

[@Iiid2]

"PFFT SHIT!" LOLLLOLOLOL See guys? Even pros make mistakes!

[@GrizzlieGoalie]

Yay, always happy to find another canadian you tuber!

[@unddozahaz]

He has such a good voice

[@KentaBenke]

Yes and still alive

[@eksmad]

This is the best looking 360p video I've ever seen! o_o

[@loisguardado1848]

That's my favorite song and the portal game is my favorite game 🎮😎🤘👌👍🥰💖✨.

[@stevengraham100]

look at him still talking when there's singing to do.

[@SupermewX300]

Oh my god. I didn't even mean that. My subconscious is so awesome.

[@LuluCCForevergeass]

@thibossss he composed the song for GLaDOS, in fact he composed ALL of her songs in Portal.

[@SociallyAwkwardGirl_OG]

dude, yes.

[@aurelian1]

Yep. He's been to town twice. Sign up for his mailing list at his website (guess the address?) and you can usually get notice.

[@2tur]

Amazing!!! :D!!

[@ChristianCTaken]

I don't want freedom, I want eternity with GLaDOS

[@ahdennis]

I love it "you, shit!... Sorry God damnit... I'll stop feeling so bad..."

[@AnachronisticALLOS2401]

@Mezapenna Cave Johnson is voiced by J.K. Simmons.

[@AJackOni]

@Helgi1993 He's using a machine that layered it when he played it origionally. Ergo: him not playing at that specific spot

[@almost8bit]

@HyperKnuckles888 yes he did.

[@DorneyGamer]

in every other video of him he singing it complete

[@aurelian1]

@duckwithnukes There's a whole description section that's great for learning these sorts of details. :)

[@TheAppleFreak]

@idan111 Check either her "Still Alive" or "Want You Gone" live performances by MagicalJarOfDirt (they should be in recommended videos). She said that at one point.

[@yoshidude01]

IM CANADIAN. I LIVE 4 HOURS FROM OTTAWWA

[@TheEditjay]

[@Tyrano111]

[@GrizzlieGoalie]

Is there any other place in the world called ottawa?

[@WCGwkf]

[@lampyish]

@HyperKnuckles888 i don't think so, i think valve bought it after cause they thought it fits...

[@Luxiie]

@ComputerWhiz71 - Because Ponies.

[@zName1]

[@aspibru]

1:10 is where the song starts. you're welcome

[@SnowyTasha]

"My apologies to anyone who has not finished the game yet.' Damn it, I just lost the game.

[@MrCoolScreen]

"pfff..." :D Awesome.

[@lugialover09]

@interuptedsignal I didn't get that. I haven't played the game yet, but...

[@Wintis_Swizzle]

Still Alive, Want You Gone. Two of the best songs ever by a random artist but then Darius Danesh trumps it with Colourblind, Rushes and This Kinda Love. Play nicely guys 👍⭐️

[@HSOGabriel]

@Daynaynaynay now it's 5 persons

[@victorcontrerasarellano575]

He made the credits song

[@msolec2000]

[@dkzbeier]

[@QueenAwesomenes]

[@DrRuthCharet]

He also made re:eat your brains in left 4 dead 2

[@OldObscureUnpopularGames]

*title says what the focus is* *video shows the wall beside them and the focus for two seconds* I hate those.

[@ervinasroblox3]

@BrandonLQ1 Did you know this guy created the song?

[@MissHashshashin]

@ 3:32 isn't it meant to be ''go make some new disaster that's what i'm counting on''?

[@SLGS-productions]

and the other two are wheatly and the space core

[@C454BL4NC45]

Loop station, brother.

[@Cryogenical]

@ChipmunkiousD Very possible.

[@jwcwoohoo]

exactley

[@MrRiverJude]

This video stopped suddenly at 3:23. :D

[@heteromeles]

1 person didn't get cake

[@jasontheminecrafter]

well at 3:16 it sounded like that

[@sulger1000]

[@beatnickblanket]

He's using a pedal to do live sampling...

[@1988paullockheart]

Chell has 7 youtube accounts.

[@Mzzaart007]

[@SupermewX300]

I'm sorry, but this version has to take the cake, just for 3:13 and 3:21.

[@infernai]

"you..-SHIT!"

[@RandomLeanne]

i like the song, even with the screwups. they're funny. XD

[@Zarinah]

@ChipmunkiousD yo you would be surprised at how often he forgets lyrics or chords to a song he's written lol

[@Volfieon]

@Daynaynaynay :O i didnt want freedom... as long as i get food and water i would test my whole life :D

[@josema0890]

@Daynaynaynay now 5

[@heteromeles]

@Kenpokid4 Me too :(

[@kikib00001]

portal 2

[@DieOrYouWillDie]

He forgot the lyrics of his own song? p_p

[@razinanwar718]

Normally i will shut up about hate comments that i want to post but not including those times where he just pauses or haven't started yet. Well I prefer the game credits better and nice try.

[@ChipmunkiousD]

@69guitarchick i bet i would

[@KyokoFujita]

He forgot the end lyrics. D8 Oh well, he was badass at it anyways. Why why? BECAUSE HE WROTE IT!! xD

[@nikknight]

I dunno why, but lots of Coulton as well as Ellen McLain often forget the lyrics. They're easy to mess us lol

[@beatnickblanket]

yeah. my bad. :P

[@metricsplease]

1:10

[@ricex2]

pretty funny live :D

[@NathalieHaHa]

no, the other Ottowa

[@michiruhoonigan6385]

Very good but this song very old (10 years old)

[@aurelian1]

That's because I recorded this video 10 years ago!

[@yoshidude01]

.........no i said it in caps and stuff cuz IM canadian =D

[@indianajonesguy100]

He's wearing a lightning strap....you think he's maybe a River's Cuomo/Weezer fan?

[@anders671]

Maybe Ace Frehley?

[@guyincognito5706]

Ander S That’s just a Gibson design

[@kaitek666]

How he could forgot lycris of his own song? ; oo

[@Samocoptor]

Somehow the melody of this song doesn't translate from game to guitar like Still Alive did.

[@marvinarenas6361]

lol hahah XD!
