We finally come to one of my absolute favorite bands of all time: Barenaked Ladies. I originally got into the band after hearing their song “Brian Wilson” (see my band’s YouTube videos: Masters of the Universe http://youtube.com/watch?v=u0rBfLk70vU)
I have every album from BNL, know every word to every song–a real fanatic. I think Steven Page is the best song writer of my generation, even though he is about 15 years older than me.
This song starts off their album “Maroon”, one of my favorites from them that I played about 100 times in a row. This song is much more “electric” on the album, but I think it stands up well as an acoustic because of the lyrical content.
There will be PLENTY more videos from BNL to come, so if you love any of their songs, don’t hesitate to make a request!!

Nice choice for a BNL cover! Just today, I was thinking of how under-appreciated they are, seeing as how their latest album (albeit a live one) wasn’t included in the review section of a music magazine I was reading. Considering that they reviewed about fifty other new albums, including live ones, I thought that was just sad.
Anyway, nice job! If you’re looking for requests, I would love to hear “For You” or “This is Where It Ends.”

do you even have to ask? “break your heart” maybe when you have a winter cold or something that you’ll already have laryngitis from
