Brian Vander Ark - The Freshman [Live] 

BVA... Simply amazing... in college The Verve Pipe played my college campus.. a few years later, I was working for the label promoting Villians and years later I was able to see BVA when he performed solo at SxSW on my 30th Bday... when he is in town I make it a point to be there... His passion is just remarkable because you can follow the sotry of his life... the ups and downs and its just honest and amazing. Plus- Kudos to anyone who planned a back yard tour...

This song takes me back to 6th grade every time I hear it. One of the best songs ever!!!

Wow ! That is very good .

amazing song...one of the best things to happen in the 90's

I was there. It was awesome. Thanks, BVA - this was the last time I was able to see him play before moving out of Michigan...

brings chills! oh how I miss the 90's!

this brought me to tears

❤‍🔥

fantastic. Thanks for the upload

takes me back!

Every time I hear this song I think back to doing my MA in Economics in 98 and I used to listen to this song over and over while I wrote those long, miserable papers every Professor seemed to believe was necessary.

Goosebumps,

beautiful ♥♥♥

yes fantastic....fn love it

you make me want to go to sleep..... forever, in a good way. Thanks!

F*cking beautiful

Classic, and elusive. I've chased this song down many rabbit holes. I will never be sure of the orgin. Don't waste your time trying to figure it out. You have to accept that some sxxx is just what it is,

Oh, no kidding....thanks, I didn't know that. Makes sense why its so good. :)

He was the lead singer of the verve pipe and the writer of the song

Anyone notice he sounds like James Taylor?

not bad at all man I loved it

I love this song and I love Brian Vander Ark... But when did he become Irish? He's from Mid-Michigan, right? I felt like Frank McCourt was singing this song.

Kept it close to the original but totally made it his own. Well done!

Yeww

who's the fool that rated this missed the like button by a few millimeters...

And I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place

Dont blame me, but I think this is better than the ones from the early days...

wait is this really the orginal singer? did he acquire a scottish accent sense becoming famous?

Trivia: Bryan wanted to call this song "panty-wetter" but was advised not to.

i hope the person in 2:51 didn't faint..

cool thing. he i ls good i am high mayB about to die. you dont feel this until youre about oto completlelty at least

Most folks don't know this but he applied for a legal name change in late '11 to Brian Vander Pantywetter.

Close your eyes, listen and think of James Taylor

what the

Ya a bit too fast at parts. And the facial expressions are to die for. But I do like seeing the older him sing it cuz its more appropriate I think.

Brian assembled the best band Michigan had seen in decades and then dumped on them. He’s a sad person.

Much better than the uninspired garbage of today... sad the best he can do is play in pubs now...

He looks like Dermot Mulroney...only hotter...

He's off. Quite a bit. voice is there, but too fast. He adjust to a different culture the past decade? Still good.

His vocals are better than his guitar skills.
