This was my dear friend, Summer's favorite song. She passed away recently. She sang the shit out of this song and meant every word that touched her heart. She sure as hell touched my heart. Rest in peace sweet Summer.
This Song SAVED my life so, so many times...Thank you for writing, singing, and performing with so much SOUL and so much LIGHT and so much LOVE. Thank you Thank You Thank You...
Im glad this video is still here, its been almost 14 years since the last time i watched. Im now 32 years old, and that song was one of the reasons i really wanted to play the guitar and i did it. The passion on that song....its simple that pure passion.
I love how he starts yelling into the microphone near the end. this is my first time listening. My thought - His throat must hurt alot... I'm crying.. Why am I crying?!
This song means so much. You can feel the power and emotion in his singing. Every word has such power. The rough, unpolished surface just makes it that much more authentic. I would 'like' it a thousand times if I could.
lyrics - Hope dangles on a string Like slow-spinning redemption Winding in and winding out The shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in So mesmerizing so hypnotizing I am captivated I am Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right, I swear I'm right Swear I knew it all along and I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So clear like the diamond in your ring Cut to mirror your intention Oversized and overwhelmed The shine of which has caught my eye And rendered me so isolated So motivated I am certain now that I am Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right, I swear I'm right Swear I knew it all along and I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So turn up the corners of your lips Part them and feel my fingertips Trace the moment, fall forever Defense is paper thin Just one touch and I'd be in too deep now To ever swim against the current So let me slip away So let me slip away So let me slip away So let me slip against the current So let me slip away (4x) Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right, I swear I'm right Swear I knew it all along And I am flawed, but I am cleaing up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself Slight hope It dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption
It's a very beautiful song, but I really like this version so much more than the studio version. I only wish I could sing it that well, and I love his guitar too! It's beautiful and I'd like one like that!
This is one of my favorites on my karaoke list and one of the few that have been requested. Intentionally learned THIS version because it almost makes me cry every time I hear it. The emotions in your voice and the music are beautifully intense.
Damn this song is good. I can only imagine what it must have been like to be in that room when Chris sang it. I mean I get chills just from sitting on my ass watching a TH-cam video of it but just thinking about being there in person... Anyone who does NOT get chills from this doesn't have a heartbeat.
*Chills* My God, what a beautiful song. And performance. I actually like the huskiness in his voice here. It gives it this raw quality and you can really hear his emotion. Gets me every time.
This particular version is what inspired a majority of my tattoos. You help me out through a major time in my life where I contemplated whether or not it was worth living. Thank you Brian for everything that you've done for your fans. I really wish you had not taken the Deep plunge and gone political with your new album, but then again you got to go where your heart is. I only wish I could have saw your performance prior to this new album but none the less I still respect your music. Thank you again for those songs and thank you again for this you have no idea how much of a difference it makes some people's lives
this might be the most incredible thing i've ever seen.. ever. i almost went and hid behind my chair at the last chorus. i would sell my soul to sing and write like this
for those of you who are hating on his voice, this is artistic singing, hes singing his heart out and shows emotion to his songs, hes not sucking hes actualy doing an amazing job, hes saying what he has to how he has too
Yes Priya...definitely "the feels" from this one! I'd never heard it acoustically and its so amazzzzzzing. I'm so happy I found this this morning...it already made my day. #mustshare
a concert with secondhand serenade @ dashboard will be the best one 4 me if ever .. the feelings of both artist while singing their songs are very unique ..
i didn't know he was sick? wow, that makes this even more incredible...i don't think he sounds bad AT ALL...and i actually DO sing...it's so RAW...absolutely amazing...and the passion...it's ridiculous, i wish this was how EVERY performer would play...props to him AND his vocals...totally fits...DASHBOARD ROCKS!
Damn, he really put everything into that performance. You could see it in his face and hear it in his voice. And although his voice was a little rusty at some points, I gotta give this guy his props. He rocked it.
two thumbs-up! what a perfomance! : ) .. because of this song, i suddenly remembers my ex girlfriend.. i am touched by this song by chris and his band! : ) .. hopefuly, this year they would release another heart warming album that will touch everybodys heart.. like mine.. : ) .. God bless.. : )
That line hope dangles on string like slow spinning redemption.... so that’s actually pretty real. Hope is what keeps a failing relationship together on one or both ends of the relationship. But it is hanging in front of you both and is slow spinning as it fades away and can never be reached. And then in the end when it’s over both sides will see as a learning experience. Any doubt or guilt fades away over time and we are vindicated.
Hope dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption Winding in and winding out The shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated [Chorus] I am Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right I swear I knew it all along And I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So clear Like the diamond in your ring Cut to mirror your intentions Oversized and overwhelmed The shine of which has caught my eye And rendered me so isolated, so motivated I am certain now that [Chorus] So turn Up the corners of your lips Part them and feel my finger tips Trace the moment, fall forever Defense is paper thin Just one touch and I'd be in Too deep now to ever swim against the current So let me slip away [3x] So let me slip against the current So let me slip away [4x] [Chorus] Slight hope It dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption...
I like how all the hate comments have no idea the musical talent Chris Carraba possesses. He sings and writes lyrics from his soul. He is the beginning and the epitome of what emo music (btw emo isn't that whiny screamo sh*t you hear from gothed up 20 year olds, it's the music that shows the artist's true raw emotions in their work).
dude his voice is awesome..he hit every single note. he just has a little flem in his throat cuz he has a cold. if you look past the flem, he sang this song perfectly.
I'm not the hugest fan out there but I have so much respect for this Guy I hate labels people sing the notes they were born with and play the notes that they feel music comes out of you in your style not purposely any category. I love hearing singers in octaves different from my own everyone is unique and if there not then there not truly being them selfsame and there music is heartless and it's wasting everyones time anyways ROCK ON D.B.C ya got alotta Hart and it clearly shows
i remeber the day i first listened to his music like it was yesterday :). this song captured me into music :). this song actually got me into music ^_^

This guy absolutely poured his heart out into this song, incredible. This is what music is all about, the feel
He did in pretty much every one of their songs tbh
The very last chorus of the song was delivered with full emotions..thumbs up
Sharkie Ramirez
Dude held nothing back.. Powerful stuff 👍
thats why they call them emo
This Song SAVED my life so, so many times...Thank you for writing, singing, and performing with so much SOUL and so much LIGHT and so much LOVE. Thank you Thank You Thank You...
Andrew Chang straight to endure bro.. Greetings from Argentina..
Ignacio Martinez thank you bro
Andrew Chang hope you are doing good still bro
SAME!
Im glad this video is still here, its been almost 14 years since the last time i watched. Im now 32 years old, and that song was one of the reasons i really wanted to play the guitar and i did it. The passion on that song....its simple that pure passion.
That last "FLAAAAWWWWED"!! Chills...chills every time.
The emotion is so fucking crazy. Perfect.
The emotions he put into his songs
My FAVORITE rendition of this song. so emotional and raw and he's just singing his heart & soul out.
Seriously this has got to be one of the most emotional live performance I have ever seen!
0:00 to 3:22, best part
How lovely to when a human exposes their soul and spirit with heartfelt emotion!
It seems like he's gonna burst into tears! He was feeling it for sure.
Love this song and his voice!
THIS is what music is missing EMOTION!
listen to lil peep. he had the same emotional intensity
I love how he starts yelling into the microphone near the end.
this is my first time listening.
My thought -
His throat must hurt alot...
I'm crying.. Why am I crying?!
Drunk and once again alcohol brings me here.
Amazing lol.
True say !
🍻
Acoustic versions are life.
This song means so much. You can feel the power and emotion in his singing. Every word has such power. The rough, unpolished surface just makes it that much more authentic. I would 'like' it a thousand times if I could.
the emotion... and he did all that sitting while playing the guitar ..
lyrics -
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow-spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing so hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated
So motivated
I am certain now that
I am
Vindicated
I am selfish I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So turn up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my fingertips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in too deep now
To ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away (4x)
Vindicated
I am selfish I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaing up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
His voice is so beautiful. I just started crying and I don't know why. You can hear all his passion antis absolutely amazing.
no effects .. no light effects...that's a pure talent
I don't know why but I feel like crying
2017 and i miss dashboard 😭
Whoalah Beck they are back
It doesn't get much better than this. This is music. So raw, so real and so amazing.
damn, now that's a true artist right there. a person who can sing with that much emotion and make it sound good is universe.
It's a very beautiful song, but I really like this version so much more than the studio version. I only wish I could sing it that well, and I love his guitar too! It's beautiful and I'd like one like that!
This is one of my favorites on my karaoke list and one of the few that have been requested. Intentionally learned THIS version because it almost makes me cry every time I hear it.
The emotions in your voice and the music are beautifully intense.
tout simplement vibrant! j'en ai la chaire de poule, on regarde encore et encore et c'est à chaque fois la même emotion. merci Chris Carrabba.
Hope they never delete this version. Amazing
Chris is the most perfect man to walk the earth....
Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul and be my inspiration...
WOW the shear emotion that comes out at 2:50 is incredible. how can you not love this
I come back to this every couple of years. I'm a black dude who mainly listens to rap but, fuck, I really enjoy this for some reason.
I absolutely and totally adore Chris!!! His performance is amazing, you can see the passion in his face. Live long!! And please keep on singing.
Damn this song is good. I can only imagine what it must have been like to be in that room when Chris sang it. I mean I get chills just from sitting on my ass watching a TH-cam video of it but just thinking about being there in person... Anyone who does NOT get chills from this doesn't have a heartbeat.
*Chills* My God, what a beautiful song. And performance. I actually like the huskiness in his voice here. It gives it this raw quality and you can really hear his emotion. Gets me every time.
I watch this years later and it has lost nothing! AMAZING!!

Angel Sanchez I thought his name was Chris
2:58 he allmost stood up. he was about to pull some kinda bad-assed acoustic stage dive.
I love the emotion he had. I love how he choosed his vocal, so raw, so flawed, so fragile... Just like a man lost his someone he love.
there is some massive passion and emotion in this video. Gives me the chills every time....
Ahh I saw them play in Connecticut sunday, it was the best day of my life.
He's such an inspiration o:
I miss the days when music was worth listening to. For example, this song.
This is what true music is and feels like. Those lyrics are life. The best thing any of us can do is sit down and actually listen to the meaning.
this might be the most incredible thing i've ever seen.. ever. i almost went and hid behind my chair at the last chorus. i would sell my soul to sing and write like this
This is real music with heart and passion.....big like!!!!
Spider-Man 2,anyone?
forever
+Vinícius Gomes Yes! haha
+Paula Pardo *-*
But this is acoustic version.
everyone!
legend...no words for him.....
for those of you who are hating on his voice, this is artistic singing, hes singing his heart out and shows emotion to his songs, hes not sucking hes actualy doing an amazing job, hes saying what he has to how he has too
2019 and it’s still a banger.
That last chorus. Goosebumps.
Yes Priya...definitely "the feels" from this one! I'd never heard it acoustically and its so amazzzzzzing. I'm so happy I found this this morning...it already made my day.

This and Signal fire are my favourite songs from Spiderman trilogy forever will be my favourite songs
So in love with his voice and this song!
a concert with secondhand serenade @ dashboard will be the best one 4 me if ever ..
the feelings of both artist while singing their songs are very unique ..
He most definitely said "shellfish" on the beginning of the 2nd chorus.
I still like it after all these years. Yep, brings back memories! ;)
i didn't know he was sick? wow, that makes this even more incredible...i don't think he sounds bad AT ALL...and i actually DO sing...it's so RAW...absolutely amazing...and the passion...it's ridiculous, i wish this was how EVERY performer would play...props to him AND his vocals...totally fits...DASHBOARD ROCKS!
jesus, he just PUMMELS this. so much strain, but that's what makes it great. absolutely incredible.
i love the raspness of his voice. it just adds to the intensity at the end
Damn, he really put everything into that performance. You could see it in his face and hear it in his voice. And although his voice was a little rusty at some points, I gotta give this guy his props. He rocked it.
thats the best part of the video... he puts everything into the song
That last chorus has the so mucn emotion in it. Its amazing.
wow. it was at an end of a tour, so his voice was shot. it was passionate, and if you hear him live he's generally right on his notes.
Would you tell me which tour? I'd like to find more songs of this performance
God the emotions in this just make it so much better.
love this song and Dashboard Confessional they are really creative and original. So good, they make me feel the music!
That's a man who loves his craft!! Well done!
shit! very ambitious to do this in acoustic,..but he nailed it!
two thumbs-up! what a perfomance! : ) .. because of this song, i suddenly remembers my ex girlfriend.. i am touched by this song by chris and his band! : ) .. hopefuly, this year they would release another heart warming album that will touch everybodys heart.. like mine.. : ) .. God bless.. : )

Caralho, que nostalgia essa música me da, dos creditos do homem aranha 2 😔❤️ sdds daquela epoca
Gustavo Cicilinski humm rsrs
there is so much emotion in that last chorus.
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated
[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that
[Chorus]
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]
[Chorus]
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...
I...think...I'm in love with this song. I admire the anger and rawness of it. Wouldn't change it a bit.
I like how all the hate comments have no idea the musical talent Chris Carraba possesses. He sings and writes lyrics from his soul. He is the beginning and the epitome of what emo music (btw emo isn't that whiny screamo sh*t you hear from gothed up 20 year olds, it's the music that shows the artist's true raw emotions in their work).
i like how shows genuine emotions during his songs
dude his voice is awesome..he hit every single note. he just has a little flem in his throat cuz he has a cold. if you look past the flem, he sang this song perfectly.

Why does his voice sound so so so so (there's no word for it) when he yells "flawed"?
OrangeChickenPrime good one , but I really listen to the emotions that he put and the effort in this song , 2:45 - 3:09 💦
So frickin raw and powerful
I'm not the hugest fan out there but I have so much respect for this Guy I hate labels people sing the notes they were born with and play the notes that they feel music comes out of you in your style not purposely any category. I love hearing singers in octaves different from my own everyone is unique and if there not then there not truly being them selfsame and there music is heartless and it's wasting everyones time anyways ROCK ON D.B.C ya got alotta Hart and it clearly shows

Good to him for singing in the original key and hitting those high notes!
