The Morning Benders - Virgins | Soirée de Poche 

Listening to this right now going into 2022, this has always been my favourite version and I can’t wait to come back to this in a few years time to reminisce again 💚

I'll be dead in 100 years from now and I hope people are still able to find this hidden gem of a song even centuries later

When a band can play so acoustically, and make it sound THIS great, you know they have something magical.

Still one of my favorite songs. I hope this video stays up forever.

watching it 15 yrs later and still shedding a tear (the memories, the vibe, his voice...)

i love how this song just sounds like falling rain to me. this is my favorite morning benders track for sure

I'll never get over this song.

Came back to this video after all these years and I'm so glad other fans feel the same way about the name change and the superiority of this version over the horrible twilight garbage. Such ethereal beauty in this song and the video too. Miss you Morning Benders💔

I love watching him sing. he is the music, and the music is him. it's like he's just inhaling and exhaling his thoughts and feelings. I'm glad he shares that. I'm glad to be able to be a part of that

this should have 5 million views

One of my favorite songs

I always find my way back to this song, for years & forever

you know what, "speak up" helped me get thru depression at night and saved me from bipolar disorders. Your songs saved me from suicide. thank u!!

favorite morning benders performance after excuses live at kcrw. they've got this sound i can't get tired or enough of. even now as pop etc.

you can see the feeling falling right out of his eyes.. it's so unreal! love this band..

Hey lads, I'm still listening, and it's even more glorious.

Wasn't a dream, so. That gig really happened. Still got the shivers when I think about how wonderful that night was. Thanks again, merci du fond du cœur.

kangen ibuk 😭. pertama kali menonton video ini di warnet onet sekitar tahun 2011 - 2012. ngga nyangka 7 tahun kemudian ibuk pergi.. and its so hard

I have to go back to this video every once in awhile. These guys were my favorite band in high school. I'm so sad they never released this song. Speak Up just isn't as good.

I discovered the morning benders YESTERDAY! I’m obsessed! This song! OMG! Also excuses and all day day light, are my favs so far! Played them all on loop! ❤️

Damn i love how much they get into the song. Sick band

I just got an email that POP ETC was going on tour and playing in my city, but I came back to this video to reminisce on when they made quality, beautiful music. I miss the Morning Benders

i can't say i'm a fan of any of the other work of morning benders/pop etc., but this video still gives me the chills

Listening during quarantine period 😊

I love it when I discover a new band that is absolutely flawless

every once in a great while a sing like this comes around

All my lovers around me like virgins screen today Waist-deep in the water, pushing my body away What makes you go, to put the past away? Oh how many drops can you squeeze out to explain What happened one day? And one of them stays behind and trails me from afar I saw her eyes, lit up like colors in the dark But when our faces met, I was half a world away It still shot in my breath as I turned to say We meet another way Where you wont recognize my face Can we meet one way or another you wont, you wont Speak up, speak up, speak up When we meet one day you won't recognize my face When we meet one way or another you wont you wont Speak up, speak up, speak up And one day it suits me, the next .... It comes on like a lifetime, it passes into morning light How beautiful it was to be anything at all But somehow it strikes me, the timing came a bit off When we meet another day you won't recognize my face When we meet one way or another you wont you wont Speak up, speak up, speak up When we meet one way you won't recognize my face When we meet one way or another you wont you wont Speak up, speak up, speak up ❤

ive got one word for this song, beautiful.

the entire intro to this song is so telling. you can tell the crowd has been getting to them by how he introduces the song and they keep talking then he has to shout over their talking to the frustrated head scratching and the big sigh, then they perform this. Incredible

Morning benders > pop etc

Saw this song performed last night live after listening to the band for 1 day...they are officially my new favorite band.

“And one day it soothes me, the next it bleeds me dry” that line gets me every time!!

this is way better than the "speak up" version. he really pours himself into this song

Wow, the morning benders (they insist that you don't capitalize their name) are so awesome. I saw them live over the summer when they opened for Broken Bells in DC, and I can honestly say I wish that Broken Bells had opened for them. The morning benders are so cool, good, and nice. My friend and I talked with them for a long time after the show. I'm seeing them again in DC next month I'm so excited. They NEED to be more popular. But anyway, I actually can't stop listening to this song wow.

I'll never get over The Morning Benders

Im sure I've listened to this song over a million times, but it gets better each time. Utterly ravishing.

This is so bloody beautiful.

I just love how Chris involves so deeply with his music

I've love this song ever since I saw the rehearsal video.

I shed one single tear of joy listening to this.

I just spent weeks trying to remember this song that meant so much to me while I was going through a rough time in college and it hit me today what it was and I’m so happy I found it! Thank you for creating such a beautiful song!

so much emotion in this its beautiful

i'm slowly falling in love with this band... their old & new stuff. so, so good.

FINALLY! I've been on the edge of my seat to watch this. It was SO worth the wait!

perfection in the right direction

I kept playing the two minute clip of their rehearsal over and over, I almost died when I saw you uploaded this. Thanks Blogo.

Love this performance. I always come back to this video when I want to relax

Finally. I've been waiting for this video to come out. Thanks

His voice reminds me of vanilla ice cream and I don’t know why that makes sense to me but it does. I love it and I’ll always prefer this version of their band. So amazing.

This song makes me forget all the troubles in the world and instantly appreciate people for who they are.

Love this song and "excuses"

This songs, this version, yes every single letter or accord means everything to me... this song makes me feel entirely happy when I am good and gives me strength to go through bad times... at the same time the melody is the most wonderful I have ever heard. For me it includes like a billion of wonderful emotions. THE MORNING BENDERS : please come to Germany!!!
