This was the song that introduced me to Guster; it was the free weekly music video in iTunes all those years ago. In came my fascination and I fell in love with their music. Fast forward to 2019, Look Alive was released on my birthday and I was the happiest birthday girl ever.
So I heard this in the toilets in a casino in Vegas at the start of Jan 2015.. And I really liked it... But had no idea what it was called or who it was by.. So I wrote the most obscure note on my phone (was quite drunk) it literally just said "do you love me?" As that was the only part I remembered.. Any who... I've been humming it since then.. And I just spent half an hour googling what I though could potentially be lyrics to it!! And oh my god I found it! Lovely song
I saw a segment on the Science Channel about the guy who does all of the painting, artwork in this video. Apparently the guy was a chiropractor who, as the result of an aneurysm, had most of his cerebellum surgically removed. Subsequently, it unlocked some kind of artistic genius in his brain and the guy is now compelled top paint and draw essentially 24/7.
I worked at a sams club in the electronics department in the early 2010’s This song played on the TV demo loop every 5 minutes for about 3 months straight. Drove me nuts
Yeah I work at a casino and kept on hearing this! and I liked it! as opposed to Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Sia, and others like 1d, 5th harmony, train, rihanna!!! I can't stand that other shi7!!!!
Amazing to listen to a song that would simply not make sense to a younger person. Academically, perhaps, your high school or college student could understand its meaning, but the complex voyage love and relationships take and that this (excellent) song references cannot be understood until the traveler is well on his way. Like... some other kid told me....
Guster always come up with catchy little ditties like this. Don't know how they do it but every song sounds fresh. I love the line about having marbles in his mouth, it's like dude I relate ! The video is perfect for this song very clever and I love the spastic dancing !
Good to see the boys back in long-johns. I wonder if these are the same as the old red ones that they bleached? This song makes me ready for the album.
The Real Jezuz I am a very happy hipster, of the historical, non-recent colloquialism sense, but my comment was more in reference to the fact that a lot of people are commenting about hearing it on the Muzak at work first. I was looking for other people that have been following Guster for years. To each their own :)
+Quasita Nope! Long time Guster fan. Glad so many others are finding there way to discover them too. Always was surprised they weren't more famous! So talented!
Awesome artwork and cameo by Jon Sarkin, I just saw a piece of this video on a show on cable TV about Sarkin's amazing life and recovery from a traumatic brain injury that inspires his fantastic artwork.
I saw them live during a taping of the first season of CONAN performing this song... love it and kind of forgot about until I heard it yesterday randomly at a resturant out of town.
Brother's and sister's love to you Guster, we love Guster, and we think you guys are the damndest amazingly unique act ever - how could you go through all that in one take from one camera angle's perspective? hehehehehehehehhe Thank you Guster for being alive! You are alive! And you make us alive!
My wife & I had the pleasure of meeting the band back in 1999 when they were just starting out. They were playing in Toronto as a guest on the Mike Bullard Show. Nice guys.
This is my new favorite video, I just read the book after watching the show on Ingenious Minds about the artist Jon Sarkin. Fascinating story and this video is so awesome!
@HoldTheMayo904 Dont worry, leave it to us to appreciate Guster. Our appreciation is worth 100x more then the appreciation from a thousand "mainstream" people ;)
Guys,i look back to this video and see all those of ur comment before about 7,8,9 also 11yrs ago. Those who comment in those past many Yrs ago,are u still alive. Guys? Does U all guys who commented on this video are still alive?!!! Plz, if u are still living and see this my post. Plz rply me. I Hope u all guys were still alive and also will be so happy to know dat ur still living and also i hope u guys were all living a good life. Goof luck all. God Bless all
Okay so here's my story... I work at Petsmart as a groomer and this song plays a lot. One day I fell in love with the song "Center of Attention" by Guster. Today when this song came on, I was like "wow this is amazing, I wonder who it's by?" and lo and behold, once again it's Guster! I guess I've finally found a band whom can hold my attention for multiple songs!
I watched them at ETSU last weekend. The drummer plays probably half hands only, then the other half on traditional drums. Needless to say it is AWESOME when is is going crazy with his hands. The band was hilarious and performed very well even though we had a small crowd.
I was doing community service today at Goodwill and this song came on, first time I heard it and I'm glad I remembered the lyrics. I googled 'em and found it! Great song
Stop Whining and promote the bands that play real music!!! Twitter and Facebook their song names and hits! Guster is Awesome!! Like this if it makes sense!
I keep hearing this at work, the singer kind of sounds like Billie Joe of Green Day (if he had a higher voice), mainly the beginning parts of the song and when it's repeated again after the chorus lol. I played it at home and my fiend agreed.
Absolute Bravo. Saw you guys at Copper Mtn and road the car slide with you. The power went out and you just kept jamming. I have one of your first CDs. Time to pull it back out.
Guster is the best!! the vid is so funny! probably my fav band cuz i love ther sense of humor! and i cant wait to see them in Hollywood on the 28th.. only one bad thing tho... NO JOE!! :( and NO JOE in this vid either... NO BUENO :(
I just read the book about Sarkin the man that made all those painting and colors in the video The author described this video it's so cool to actually see it.
I work at a casino and they play these crappy pop stations all the freaking time!! and I only hear this song in the bathroom that I clean and I never could figure it out!! I'd try googling what I thought were the lyrics and trying to find it on TH-cam but couldn't find it!!! even got a dealer and a security guard helping me out but I decided to try getting on here and searching with the words "do you love me" and just clicked on Guster!! I finally freaking found it!!! YES!!! I didn't think that Guster was right but I just picked it out of curiosity!!! yes!! thank you TH-cam I love you!!! and I love this song!!! LOL
Originally, yes. But as they've progressed and grown their sound, Brian has begun to alternate between hands and a traditional drum set. If you watch the video again you'll notice he uses his hands to start.
I liked it the first time I heard it. Without knowing the lyrics, the words seemed to make interesting imagery, and I liked the melody. Then the second time, listening to the lyrics, it's down several notches. Just sounds like insecurity and jealousy. Like listening to a paranoid over-possessive boyfriend whine.
This was the song that introduced me to Guster; it was the free weekly music video in iTunes all those years ago. In came my fascination and I fell in love with their music. Fast forward to 2019, Look Alive was released on my birthday and I was the happiest birthday girl ever.
same! I loved the free weekly songs

We all find Guster in different ways. So glad u found them. Was it the Palazzo?
I hear it where I work! the Mystique casino in Dubuque Iowa!!! Seems like I hear it in one of the bathrooms I clean more than I do in the casino!!!!
Sam Thomas i work at a Caesars resort and hear this song everyday and felt your pain everyday until now!!
Sam Thomas good story wkwk
i do the 'write down lyrics and find it later" thing too. quite the struggle but totally worth it
Huge fan of this underrated band. Guster is tight!
Rest in peace, Jon Sarkin. (artist in the lab coat).
My 5mth old grandson stops crying instantly, no matter what, when you put this video on! Love it!
Yes drew, we feel it
But the real question is do we have it?
]
I'm under so much pressure at work I sometimes want to cry. But THIS SONG COMES ON AND I DANCE WITH A SMILE!
This song makes me so happy when Im sitting in H1 Traffic on Oahu.
Same 😂
Great song heard on the radio for the first time today! - made me think of James ‘Sit Down” for some reason. (another great song)
im 17 and i've been listening to guster for 12 years quite possibly more,this is my early years :)
How's life now, friend?
Yooo. Are u still alive?! Its already pass 9yrs frm now
Still fresh!
...clap...clap...clap...clap...

"A thousand words I wanna say but I can't spit em out"
Indeed:)
No matter how bad I feel, this song never fails to make me feel better. It's like prozac for the soul.
I like the quirky and refreshing videography! It reminds me of old jibjab christmas cards. Or a come-to-life collage. But in the best way possible.
I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG THEY PLAY IT ALL THE TIME AT OFFICE MAX
+Malik Fox Office Max must play Hot FM like Home Depot does then :)
Yeah I work at a casino and kept on hearing this! and I liked it! as opposed to Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Sia, and others like 1d, 5th harmony, train, rihanna!!! I can't stand that other shi7!!!!
@mytoecold brought me here!! new favorite!!

So great!
I am loving this song!! I've never listened to Guster before and I know for a fact I will DEFINITELY be listening to them again!! They're great!
Wow! Yoooo,Do u still alive????!!! Its already past 11yrs now. Wow. Do u still leave. Do u still alive?!!!!
Good to see the boys back in long-johns. I wonder if these are the same as the old red ones that they bleached? This song makes me ready for the album.
Am I the only person that heard this song for the first time because I follow Guster and listened when they posted it? lol...
Who cares honestly? I don't it's just a good song that's it and we all agree to it
Hipster is so hipster

+Quasita Nope! Long time Guster fan. Glad so many others are finding there way to discover them too. Always was surprised they weren't more famous! So talented!
My favorite album, I listened to this extensively on Facebook when they were first promoting it
Awesome artwork and cameo by Jon Sarkin, I just saw a piece of this video on a show on cable TV about Sarkin's amazing life and recovery from a traumatic brain injury that inspires his fantastic artwork.
I saw them live during a taping of the first season of CONAN performing this song... love it and kind of forgot about until I heard it yesterday randomly at a resturant out of town.
Love this video, this song, and this band. Guster has the ability to put a smile on my face when nothing else can.
Brother's and sister's love to you Guster, we love Guster, and we think you guys are the damndest amazingly unique act ever - how could you go through all that in one take from one camera angle's perspective? hehehehehehehehhe Thank you Guster for being alive! You are alive! And you make us alive!
Loved this song for years, but never watched the video. Now I love the song even more.
Yes, I love you!
Adore it, simply adore it. I have felt this way, thanks for bringing this feeling back to me, God I want to be in love. Michele
My wife & I had the pleasure of meeting the band back in 1999 when they were just starting out. They were playing in Toronto as a guest on the Mike Bullard Show. Nice guys.
YOU GO BOSTON BANDS!
They play this song everyday at JC Penny. one of my favs.
I worked at sears and they played it along with my valentine...I like retail mix ,they play universally good songs that most people like or tolerate
This is my new favorite video, I just read the book after watching the show on Ingenious Minds about the artist Jon Sarkin. Fascinating story and this video is so awesome!
Finally, a video that was worth the time, effort, and money to create.
Thank you Buzz Lite for introducing this song and band to me!
There's a little Christmas carol sound thrown in there. Yes i love the song.
I hear it too!!! U know what they say right? "every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings"
This song keeps a smile on my face
@HoldTheMayo904 Dont worry, leave it to us to appreciate Guster. Our appreciation is worth 100x more then the appreciation from a thousand "mainstream" people ;)
cool video... wish more bands were this creative :)
I go to the school that Adam Gardner went to!! Pingry!!
Going to the concert at my school tonight. So excited.
They play this song at the restaurant I serve in...it has grown on me. 💚💚💚
I've just come across this song and I loved it.

Guster is the best band nobody's heard of
Okay so here's my story... I work at Petsmart as a groomer and this song plays a lot. One day I fell in love with the song "Center of Attention" by Guster. Today when this song came on, I was like "wow this is amazing, I wonder who it's by?" and lo and behold, once again it's Guster! I guess I've finally found a band whom can hold my attention for multiple songs!
thank you guster for all these years of great music
Makes me sad that Guster has put so much of their life into their music and aren't appreciated as they should be.
WENT TO GUSTER.....and they were great...go see them when u can......now
I watched them at ETSU last weekend. The drummer plays probably half hands only, then the other half on traditional drums. Needless to say it is AWESOME when is is going crazy with his hands. The band was hilarious and performed very well even though we had a small crowd.
Great band. Come to Australia because I got snow stormed into my motel when I had tix to a USA show... :-(
just saw them for the fist time on Conan. Why aren't they famous yet? Come on internet.
I was doing community service today at Goodwill and this song came on, first time I heard it and I'm glad I remembered the lyrics. I googled 'em and found it! Great song
Stop Whining and promote the bands that play real music!!! Twitter and Facebook their song names and hits! Guster is Awesome!! Like this if it makes sense!
this is the weirdest music video i have ever watched...and i love it
But the real question is is... Do you love me?
Finally found this song. Played it so much when I worked at Sears.
Guster's coming to tufts today and i won backstage pass to meet them!!! =)
Eeeee, this song makes me feel all gleeful inside.
Still love this song since discovering it in 2010
I went to see Guster in Ithaca last night. Absolutely amazing!!!
I keep hearing this at work, the singer kind of sounds like Billie Joe of Green Day (if he had a higher voice), mainly the beginning parts of the song and when it's repeated again after the chorus lol. I played it at home and my fiend agreed.
Aaah, those bells.
Absolute Bravo. Saw you guys at Copper Mtn and road the car slide with you. The power went out and you just kept jamming. I have one of your first CDs. Time to pull it back out.
can't remember the last time I listened to a song over and over again... heard this song for the first time today, and I adore it!!!
Guster is the best!! the vid is so funny! probably my fav band cuz i love ther sense of humor! and i cant wait to see them in Hollywood on the 28th.. only one bad thing tho... NO JOE!! :( and NO JOE in this vid either... NO BUENO :(
Unlikely day! Played this song everything is okay now!
I just read the book about Sarkin the man that made all those painting and colors in the video The author described this video it's so cool to actually see it.
Happy songs for a happy planet.

I happen to have heard this song for the first time in one of the alternative rock stations where I live :).
Dude your story sounds almost identical to that of Sam Thomas'.
Yes it was hard to find ity manager looked at our radio it told us great song I love it
Spot on. I just checked your channel and you have spectacular tastes. Hey Hey My My cover by Battleme. Oh yeah.
How can you dislike this? Its about the journey of love, everyone has a chance, it depends if you give up or not ;D
this song is on my distance run playlist
A Guster favorite
Dumb video for such a great song. I hear it every day, at work.
I LOVE THAT DRUMMER
Ty Wal-Mart for playing this wonderful song ;)
i saw theese guys in constitutional hall a few days ago, they were amazing
Originally, yes. But as they've progressed and grown their sound, Brian has begun to alternate between hands and a traditional drum set. If you watch the video again you'll notice he uses his hands to start.
I liked it the first time I heard it. Without knowing the lyrics, the words seemed to make interesting imagery, and I liked the melody. Then the second time, listening to the lyrics, it's down several notches. Just sounds like insecurity and jealousy. Like listening to a paranoid over-possessive boyfriend whine.
Yes, we love you!!
The lyrics are somewhat sad, but the music and overall tone is really upbeat.
Awesome!
awesome! they're so so cute
Guster is AWESOME. :)
Grand band.
