This is excellent proof that Damien writes very good songs. This bare version shows it all to all of you who think that OK GO is just production ideas from the studio and tricky videos. They are a briliant rock band in the first place :))
Ok go should be focusing on more of this stuff instead of their more rocking music which is still awesome. But this is even better than the album version.
If you haven't seen the hidden track for them, then you should. They have more than one instrument and they sound pretty cool. The hidden track is at 1:45.
playing 3 acoustic guitars that all have the same sound seems pointless to me as they just mesh into one actual sound rather than retaining an individuality and thus interesting sound during the song. i thought it was a solid version of the song but that it could've been set-up in a far more interesting way
@1professorMcG It's youtube - everyones opinion is welcome as it's a public forum. What you mean is because you bum this band and I said something negative about them you don't like it and thus are trying to invalidate my opinion. I stand by what I said and the right I have to say it - if you can't hack it you probably shouldn't be on youtube.
@6billiondeaths Yeah, I gotta admit that compared to most of the other WLT songs this one seems kind of...bland. Like you said, still a solid version of the song, but still...Stornoway's got a damn cowbell and these guys couldn't mix it up at all? They do separate a little in the second half of the song at least.
