@ 3:50 the train comes during the most culminating part of the song, adding an incredible amount of emphasis to the lyrical content. One of my favorite songs and one of my favorite videos.
Even then, this guy... He is famous. Famous among anyone who has listened to Cap'n Jazz, or Joan of Arc, or American Football, or Owls. Mike is a legend.
Hallelujah! I just found Jesus Swimming at the bottom of the bottle I keep crawling out of He said You look familiar but I can't place your face I said You look like hell and that we used to hang at my mother's request Hallelujah! I just found Jesus Trying to save the world through the wet hands and mouth of a girl She's convinced me to stay in for as long as we both shall live (Or until one of us gets bored) Have I been saved? 'Cause I feel the same Dirty and tired Can I be saved without having shame or remorse for what I don't believe? I offer up my humbled soul and my broken spirit All those things that I can't control The intangible bullshit to you, my Lord I believe there is no white light Somebody's mistaken or somebody lied I believe there is only one truth It resonates different in me and you so don't try to sell me yours
Now I found what I was so urgently looking for. Thanks to this song, and in the beginning, from the agony of American Football. What a joyous creation AND evolution of this music.
What a beautiful view, I'm studying in America next year and this just makes me excited, it looks so different to England (yes, I know there are some bad parts too).
His songs are usually about mixed emotions, just listen to American Football. He doesn't sound Christian or strong atheist. So 'don't try and sell me yours'
Penny I've just left his show. I don't know how he manages to beat the studio recordings when playing live. I'd pay hundreds to see him play. Worth every single penny and then some. I took lots of recordings, I'll post them on my channel when I have the time!
Great video, it turns to green throughout it. I can tell you used Adobe. I use Adobe and have the same problem, do you know how to fix it? Shot is awesome, but the product we pay for is flawed.
No, listen to the end. It's about him losing faith and pondering life. The lines "Remorse for what I don't believe" and "I believe there's no bright light, somebody's mistaken or somebody lied" show that.
This song is about believing on something. It could be god or something else, that's why you have to use or sing this song according to your beliefs. Read between the lines. "So don't try to sell me yours"
Someone PLEASE tab this. I can't quite make out his finger movements... and I think it may be in an alternate tuning. =/ Mike Kinsella's too amazing to figure out by ear. lol
3:50 eeeEEEEEUUUUURRRRRRR BUDUM BUDUM BUDUM BUDOOM BUDOOM BUDOOM veeeeERRRRRROOOOOOMMM. At least that's how I hear it. Whatever the case, I love that part. "I believe...". The siren at the beginnings really cool too. Like a J Dilla kinda thing.hahahha. Except even better, cause it's Owen.

I always come back to this when I just had a rough patch in life..
Same, bud. I hope you are doing well.
We're all gonna make it, bro ❤
The train's timing was perfect.
it wasn't the train's timing, it was owen's timing... 100
Yee. So good forever
I am so thankful that this guy exists to make music for us.
@ 3:50 the train comes during the most culminating part of the song, adding an incredible amount of emphasis to the lyrical content. One of my favorite songs and one of my favorite videos.
I Believe and The Armoire are my favourites from this album - they go great together as well.
Even then, this guy... He is famous. Famous among anyone who has listened to Cap'n Jazz, or Joan of Arc, or American Football, or Owls. Mike is a legend.
build up to this beautiful riff at 2:50 is so amazing.
if playing, id feel like i was going to fall off sitting there!!! haha. great music man.
Hallelujah I just found jesus. swimming at the bottom the bottle I keep crawling out of.. Amazing
This makes me miss Chicago that much more..
finding owens work in 2016. I've been into American football since the start but I wasn't aware he carried on making music.
yesssss. check out the new album, the king of whys. just came out a week ago.
+Jayse I listened his morning, it's so damn good
My god you're in for a treat then! Go through his back catalogue
Lonely Astronaut his name's not Owen
I know that. he is Mike Kinsella :/
..with guest appearance by Train!
Hallelujah! I just found Jesus
Swimming at the bottom of the bottle
I keep crawling out of
He said You look familiar but I can't place your face
I said You look like hell
and that we used to hang at my mother's request
Hallelujah! I just found Jesus
Trying to save the world through the wet hands
and mouth of a girl
She's convinced me to stay in for as long as
we both shall live
(Or until one of us gets bored)
Have I been saved?
'Cause I feel the same
Dirty and tired
Can I be saved without having shame or remorse
for what I don't believe?
I offer up my humbled soul and my broken spirit
All those things that I can't control
The intangible bullshit to you, my Lord
I believe there is no white light
Somebody's mistaken or somebody lied
I believe there is only one truth
It resonates different in me and you
so don't try to sell me yours
I first heard this song two days before Thanksgiving and just could not stop listening to this track. Phenomenal.
Now I found what I was so urgently looking for. Thanks to this song, and in the beginning, from the agony of American Football. What a joyous creation AND evolution of this music.
This song really hit me. I don't know how to put it into words, I'm just really glad I found this.
These vids makes me want to visit Chicago.
Siren in the bg falls in key with the song, hallelujah :)
God I love Mike Kinsella, changed me forever.
Incredible shot and incredible playing.
Hes almost the only movement in the whole video the rest is so still now that is amazing it's almost like a painting behind him
Well that was just too beautiful for words
i think this song is my favorite so far. just awesome
The Greatest singer song writer , thank you !
I hope you enjoy your travels and see the beauty here.
This is my favourite thing on the internet
This is my favorite video on the internet.
I want to live in this video
この演奏大好きだ
All I can say is, wow. This man can write music
HE IS THE MAN. HE IS MY BEST GUITAR/SINGER.
I do believe
One of my favorite songs off the new album!
it's like the whole city took a break to listen. even the sirens sang along.
Chicago love.
So that completes side a of ghost town. I've been enjoying this series far too much :)
I'm a little late to the party but I absolutely LOVE this!!! :) :)
+Brenda McLaren it's never too late for good music :)
CGDGBD with a capo at the 6th fret
What about the chords? I feel like I'd be able to figure it out if I knew their shapes or something
thats the most beautiful backdrop ever.
What a beautiful view, I'm studying in America next year and this just makes me excited, it looks so different to England (yes, I know there are some bad parts too).
All in all very calming and a peaceful song
Its calm on the outside but when you look deeper, it is very chaotic. I'd imagine Mike is the same way from what he says about himself in his songs.
It's so great that I found Owen. I am a Christian and this song calms me down. Thank you for making this coming out.
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam. Sunbeams are never made like me.
Don't expect me to cry, don't expect me to lie, don't expect me to die for thee..
Amen brotha
every time I think my heart is mine, mike kinsella shows his face
i think he is pretty famous already haha...he has been in so many influential bands!!!
His songs are usually about mixed emotions, just listen to American Football. He doesn't sound Christian or strong atheist. So 'don't try and sell me yours'
Facts
Joe, this was filmed in the River West neighborhood of Chicago.
Beautiful song thank you Owen. I believe too. God Bless you.
Well said
Super legal, maicon. Você é fera !
Maicao da galera é massa demais, queria muito um show dele no Brasil
So hyped to see Mike live tomorrow in London. Gonna be so good :D
AAAA I'm seeing him too in London on Thursday and I'm binge (re)watching all of his videos and live sessions.
Penny I've just left his show. I don't know how he manages to beat the studio recordings when playing live. I'd pay hundreds to see him play. Worth every single penny and then some. I took lots of recordings, I'll post them on my channel when I have the time!
I saw him on the Wednesday! Anyone going back to see him in February?
Hell yes
I saw him on Feb 11th! Going back to see American Football in Brighton in Sept, anyone else going? :-D
mike kinsella make my material world more spiritual...
Save some of that talent for the rest of us. It's unfair to be that good.
ugh, mike. stop being such a boss
Hey man fantastic job! Love this spot, would love to shoot some cityscapes here at night. Where is it??! I'm thinking it looks like Cicero and Grand??
He's already really really well known
@accid entally man I just spent an hour pinpointing the location in Google earth and just now saw your comment.
what kind of shoes are those?
Great video, it turns to green throughout it. I can tell you used Adobe. I use Adobe and have the same problem, do you know how to fix it? Shot is awesome, but the product we pay for is flawed.
No, listen to the end. It's about him losing faith and pondering life. The lines "Remorse for what I don't believe" and "I believe there's no bright light, somebody's mistaken or somebody lied" show that.
If anyone has tabs for this version it would be much appreciated
There’s a guy who covered it on youtube and he linked a google doc with the chords /tabs. Look up “Owen I believe cover”
the cloud didn't move at all?
mike kinsella made my life beautiful
I'm lolling at you.
Holy. Shit.
The music in itself it not outstanding, but associated with the lyrics, the whole thing is so emotional
i know exactly where that is in chicago.
Great song, fuck the haters. Keep doing what you're doing, this is nice stuff.
Pretty sure it's CGDGBD with a capo at the 6th fret.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I think about 100 thousand of those views are me.
Can't beat mine
This video made me nervous. Why? Because Mike was sitting so close to the edge of the building.
anyone know what part of chicago this is in?
What's the tuning for this song?
thats a tiny amount of stool for a lot of sentiment! :D
Where is this in Chicago?
Haha some people in the comments think this is pro-religious, get a little reading comprehension.
I agree but the bridge of the song sounds religious.
Bobtheclamm You believe.
Tabs??
This song is about believing on something. It could be god or something else, that's why you have to use or sing this song according to your beliefs. Read between the lines.
"So don't try to sell me yours"
CGDGBD -- Capo on 6 -- 224000, 002000, and 445000
He looks so tattoo-less here compared to now.
what city is he in
@Goatfarmer03 Thats exactly what Im saying! Some people just don't pay attention.
Does Anyone know what tuning this is? There's no tab anywhere :(
Can anyone tell me what tuning this is in??
Someone PLEASE tab this. I can't quite make out his finger movements... and I think it may be in an alternate tuning. =/ Mike Kinsella's too amazing to figure out by ear. lol
Do you play in standard usually mike?
I know this is super late, but no. more often than not he's playing in either an open tuning or strange alternate tuning
3:50 eeeEEEEEUUUUURRRRRRR BUDUM BUDUM BUDUM BUDOOM BUDOOM BUDOOM veeeeERRRRRROOOOOOMMM. At least that's how I hear it. Whatever the case, I love that part. "I believe...".
The siren at the beginnings really cool too. Like a J Dilla kinda thing.hahahha. Except even better, cause it's Owen.
I am not good enough to make a tab, but its probably played in DADGAD knowing Owen
The real question is; where can your boy pick up a pair of those shoes?
shop.nordstrom.com/s/1901-hampton-boat-shoe-men/4156196?origin=category-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=TOBACCO%20NUBUCK
You absolute hero
What are the strings tuned to?
Brett Maley CGDGBD capo 6th
video quality is good...thats all...:)
@MzaCrack And that wasn't meant to be rude! haha "i believe, there is no white light"
This song is so soothing, but him being that close to the ledge gives me so much anxiety.
"Going to be famous one day"
hahahaha
Does anyone know what city this is?
***** ahh ok. thanks mate.
I BE LEAF :D
Kinsella is god.
@Lemmiwinks07 You know, that's very doable ;)
