Here Comes My Baby

June 14, 2010


Click Here if you’d like to download this song from iTunes!

Well, I’ve definitely been sitting on this one for a while. What you will find in the video above, dear reader, is the first (and currently only) song by my new band, Sons Of Admirals! Which is, as mentioned, the result of Alex Day, Tom Milsom, Eddplant and I all merging to try and make music together, and hopefully create something that we could never have managed as individuals.

I’m really excited to hear what you all think of this, especially the music video, which is my first attempt at doing something that is hopefully a bit more professional than my usual videos. Special thanks go to Tom Bacon, for filming and helping me edit and colour the music video, and to Emma and Gryff for being in the video as our very loveable love interests. All of those people stepped in at the very last minute, for no money. Those are some serious friends <3

To point something out: Sons Of Admirals isn’t really a band in the traditional sense, and this definitely doesn’t mean that any of us are going to be giving up on our solo music, or Chameleon Circuit. Far from it actually, if all goes to plan, we’re hoping to learn each others songs and tour with both SOA and solo material. Also, it’s also not like one of us is the “guitarist” or the “lead singer” or anything, heck, as well as singing on this track I also directed the music video. That’s not the kind of thing you’ll get with a traditional band! We’re something new, and we’re very excited about it :)

Anyway, I hope you like the song! And as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    I love the song, annoyingly catchy :’)
    The video is epic! And it’s good acting too :)
    I love the colors: red hair, blue hair and green pants :D

    I loved it <3.
    When Alex started singing I wanted this song to be only his. It seemed like it fit his voice perfectly. But all three of you made awesome job and everyone's part was "the best" c:
    I really look forward to see/hear more of Son of Admiral's songs c:

    Also for the music video, I quite enjoyed it, which is usually not the case with me and music videos, so; definitely great job! : D

    I loved the song! Nice job. I miss your old band. Are you guys still going to be singing about Dr. Who?

  • http://twitter.com/BBC_Fangirl Laura Blakemore

    I knew you and Alex were up to something. I actually guessed in Alex’s blog yesterday that you were in a band with Tom and Ed. I’m so glad I was right. :)

    The song is amazing, and I hope there’s more to come soon! I just bought the song off iTunes. :)

    I made a similar comment. I’m wondering if this is all just a joke!

  • http://charliemcdonnell.com/ coollike

    Hah! That’s a brilliant bit of information, and kind makes me want to use the SOA abbreviation even more.

  • http://twitter.com/Stanage Ty Stanage

    I mean, it would make sense for them to form a band so that they could provide the background music for their solo projects. That much makes sense, so I would fathom that the band is real. It’s a little late for April Fool’s, though, but these guys aren’t the kind of people who would withhold credit from Cat Stevens. :)

  • http://twitter.com/Stanage Ty Stanage

    After the starting bit it sounds quite close, except with no glockenspiel (this effect is substituted with synth), tambourine, or Cat Stevens-esque vocals. English band the Tremeloes also covered the song, but with a more Beatles/Monkees-esque rendition.

  • Anonymous

    Yeah I do agree that the band makes sense, i was just really surprised they didn’t give credit where it was due. And thanks for the music info, I know next to nothing about it!

  • David

    First! and very nice videomusic! But what happened with Chameleon Circuit? I was really expecting a followup album! not to say that this isn't good, just asking a question.

  • DanniLovesHearts

    ohmydays! *hyperventilates* this is actually sexiful (yes that is a word!) :D
    I've been waiting for this news since yesterday, and now I'm super happy! It actually made my day, after I failed at my Geography GCSE this morning XD
    Seriously though, this is epic :) well done all of you! I'm buyng it NOW! <3

  • MKCassie

    Oh it sounds so different from each of your individual songs ! You should be proud, and I cant wait to hear more from Sons of Admirals :)

  • http://twitter.com/DalekNek Nektaria Klavani

    Beautiful! iLike!

  • Jodie Peters

    Could not have loved this song more.. It was definitely singing in the shower worthy.
    To iTunes I go!

  • http://twitter.com/Jen_nifer__ jennifer klaveren

    Ehmm… Charlie I wouldn't call Sons of admirals SOA anymore, you have a lot of dutch fans and in dutch SOA means STD (sexually transmitted disease) lol :P

  • Cathal99h

    Well that was awesome.

  • Jennifer Montgomery

    Is there any way i could get the music video from itunes? i feel like im one of the only people who watched this video because they liked the music… not just because they think that charlie is hot. Really well done though!

  • Livia Biagio

    That's so lovely!
    I'll be singing it all day long haha

  • Naemi

    I love it! :D You should be proud! And the video looks really good ;)

  • http://twitter.com/thisiscolorado Kata

    Too many good-looking people in the video! I can't concentrate on the music, I'm too busy staring at their gorgeous faces :—D

    Well done, Charlie. I really liked it!

  • randomchristina

    Well done, Charlie. I really liked it!

  • countofvilareal

    the song is really good and as for the music video… there are bands with big companies behind them and their videos are terrible, as yours fit your song perfectly and was really really lovely :)

  • Tikiria

    *Is really happy she went on internet before leaving*
    This song is so cool =D well done! Seriously! And you really did a good job for the video clip as well, you're getting good at directing/editing.

  • itiselizabeth

    I think it's so good to hear you all together. There are obvious aspects of all of your individual styles in this and it is just amazing. I'm clicking onto iTunes now because I adore it. :D

    (Also, I think the video is spiffing!)

  • http://twitter.com/Whisperette Annie Rowland

    Gorgeous song. I love the idea – the fact it's not conventional is fantastic, I love the idea of multiple singers and a mixture of solo stuff, it'll just make the whole thing more exciting.
    Whenabouts would the tour/an album be happening?
    Plus, what's the likelihood that you'd come specially to Hertfordshire? Assuming that answer is 'absolute null', is london a likely choice?

  • Elyss

    It was awesomely lovable! (The whole concept and everything, especially the music)
    Loved how the song was divided equally among all four spectacular singers :)
    Keep it up! The music and the video were both superb :D

  • implicitlydandy

    Wow! I can't believe that all the Sons are fine and dandy with each other after all that….MANWHORE!
    haha…but seriously, it's lovely. I hope that you'll still be working with Chameleon Circuit, though!

  • Katie

    LMAO Tom at the end!
    I'm glad you've joined forces, I love the music that all four of you produce, so this is a bonus :)
    The music video was good, you're awkward nose poke made me giggle XD Tom looked a bit creepy at 2:10 when he was just standing there waiting, but it made me laugh :)

    Keep it up

  • Maria Tam

    Oh gosh I should really stop procrastinating over my History exam, but I couldn't resist watching this video. I'm glad I decided to though :DD

    Excellent video, as always!

  • kelseycoldtoes

    wow!! awesomeness!!

  • http://twitter.com/hoefdinghoff Nina

    it's awesome :) I look forward to more music and videos. It would be fun if one of the other guys had green hair, though. It would make a really colorful band picture. :)

  • http://twitter.com/TARDISlover TARDISlover

    This was SO EPIC! Can't wait to hear the other songs!

  • camelleopardman

    absolutely fantastic. And again a fantastic appearance by Emma…gonna have to subscribe to that girl…

  • http://myguiltypleasures.tumblr.com xxjayzorz

    i see you're breaking the traditional convetions of a band. i think its really good. im definitely excited to hear more about your new band. also, you make a pretty awesome director. “Charlie Mcdonnell, the director.” got a nice ring to it, do you think?

  • Idahk

    You should write a song about doctor who XD

  • http://twitter.com/Stanage Ty Stanage

    I liked this cover.

    You don't say that it's a cover, though, which could thoroughly confuse large amounts of people.

    I enjoyed it none the less. I'm assuming someone got the idea either from Rushmore or Scrubs, where the Cat Stevens original song is heard.

  • http://raccooncrossing.wordpress.com Jake Tannery

    I love how there's a redhead and a bluehead(Bluehead…?) in the same band. Reminds me of that 'The Primary Colors' band joke.

    Mmm, popsicles are nice. Charlie, you are one cool dude.

  • Sophie Leigh14

    I love it! I was so excited to see a new video and this was such a great surprise. I love you charlie!♥

  • username1117

    Maybe you should give some credit to Cat Stevens? He did WRITE the song.

  • lisbeth

    I loved it !

  • http://twitter.com/ingveldur Ingveldur Jónsdóttir

    I really like the idea you guys got there. The song is pretty good and I love the video. The best part though is Tom in the end talking about bad taste in jewelery… I think I died laughing at that point. arr I'm a zombie or a ghost or maybe I just can't die. But overall its great what you're doing :) Can't wait to hear and see more.

  • http://twitter.com/SannesSlave Ania Bentzen

    This is alright, i think. Both the music and the video is good :]

  • http://twitter.com/palecherries Lulu

    I find it really cute and I really can't wait to hear your next song! ;D

  • randomchristina

    Look_at_those_eyes! :O Wow, Charlie…

  • http://twitter.com/SannesSlave Ania Bentzen

    And now I Actually have the song in my head.. Just went to the kicthen and i started singing it.. and I dont even know the text in my head yet x]

  • http://twitter.com/BethBeth_ Beth

    This song has managed to cheer me up after a rubbish day of History revision! :)

    Thank you all XD

  • EstharVuure

    Hey Charlie (and Alex, Eddplant and Tom)
    I really like the music video, nice twist there at the end with the other girl.
    The song is also very awesome! It's just great hearing your voices together, they're so different but somehow they combine great.
    One little thing though, I find that…dunno, ripping/tearing sound quite annoying. It's to loud or strong or whatever. Gives me the feeling like I have to listen to thát instead of the lyrics itself.
    But thats just my opinion =)
    Rock on!

  • Caitlin.

    That was amazing! i had hoped it was a new album by Chameleon Circuit but this is just as good :)

  • Shawn

    All of you IN THE SAME BAND???

    I love the song!

  • Sir Clint

    wow i like it guys and u all need to make some rock songs i really liked count the shadows and the piano but yea u guys have something

  • Anon. E. Mouse

    you directed really well here :) very impressed! It's very engaging. I wish I could give some more feedback, but I'm not too learned in the art of cinematography. The colour was great, very bright and worked well with the song. I liked how you explored angles and frames in this video – it really paid off, made it really enjoyable to watch – especially with Alex holding the frame :)
    I love the song and I'm really happy you guys are forming this band – i reckon it'll help you all grow and improve, and you'll get some awesome songs out and have fun :)

  • nomnomer

    twas quite fun to watch actually!
    and so so so confusing :P
    I think my brain is just addled from GCSEs
    good job guys! And your teal haired friend is quite awesome

  • username1117

    ok I guess its not THAT close to the original. It's obviously way more uh, synthesized-sounding

  • Helen

    excellent work on making the video. i'm quite impressed by all the work you have done. especially i liked the part where one half of the word is in one clip, and the other half is in another clip. hope you know what i mean :D
    but, yeah, i love the song, honestly.

  • SB

    lol. not a band. you're basically just a group of guys who play music together. new and exciting….you're not the first group of friends to get together and just play music. Also, I feel that not being a traditional band will not matter because youtube fan girls will love whatever you do and now especially 4 of you are together it will be like OMG OMG OMG OMG. However, when people from the outside look at what you are doing it might be confusing. I am quite confused at the moment “isn't a band in the traditional sense”…ok, go on please explain in what sense you are a band and what you are doing then because I still don't know anything about this band or it's set up.

  • Ada Wong

    u are so cute~

  • Ragnhild, Norway

    I love the song! It is so cute, and the video is really nice! I think you did a great job! It was really ,really good, and deep! :P It is so cool that you all can do the same things, it gives more variation, and more people will enjoy your music!

    the song and the video were both good but I think the filming and editing of Alex's video “The Time of Your Life” was better. It looked more professional.
    still, great effort though ^^

  • HannahNotOrange

    Ah, brilliant!! So clear and easy to understand- loved it. “Link in the doobly-doo” haha, RayWilliamJohnson quote there, Charlie? I enjoyed this immensely and will be pressing play again in a moment. Before I do that, you should know that there are now many of us girls hugely envious of the two girls in the video. Brilliant work Charlie, very different from your usual videos (great to have a change every now and then! :D).

  • Michele T

    AWW! Yay, I love it. :) It's like, way funnier than most music videos, which shows off your sense of humor, instead of it being all depressingly angsty, it comes off as quite definitely “tra la la!” in the best way possible.

  • Dogsroc07

    I love it Urock i love hearing new music

  • Kunzi

    Loved the music video and I love the fact that like you say, there isn't a 'lead singer' or 'guitarist', you're all chipping in. You can be assured I'll be purchasing le track…

  • Hilde P.

    I really loved the song, just bought it on iTunes! The video was really fun and awesome – I really enjoyed the way you put together the ones singing and the action in the video.

    As a side-note, your hair is pretty awesome – as is your blue-haired friend's. You guys look cool together. ;)

  • Straw

    OMG i love this video!!!You guys are so talented!!
    Thanks for making this video for us,Charlie <3
    Keep going and we will always be here supporting for you lol

    It's a good one :) Actually you pay more attention on the hair colour stuff than acting ;P but it's still great. Congrats :)

    Two words!!
    Well done!!!
    Its amazing and im determined to get it ;P
    Its really good how youve managed to do the video and its great to see how you guys are all such great mates :)
    I think it is an awesome song and my friend and i adore you all :D
    please Charlie will you marry me? :P
    much loves

  • Tibi

    Congratulations for the video..really enjoyable.
    You should have pointed out that it's not an original though.
    I see it was covered by more bands throughout the last 4 decades
    Also, selling it on iTunes might involve copyright issues, but I doubt that.
    Waiting to hear something original from the four of you. Some of you are
    quite brilliant lyricists/musicians.
    You have the potential to create something extraordinary. :)

  • RuffletteBella

    Awesoooome

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/SAMuraiamatimelord Sam

    I think the concept of the music video was a little bit confusing with the lyrics of the song. I like the story the song tells, though I do know how it feels to be in the situation depicted in the song, and the tune of the song is definitely not matching with that feeling. That said, I did like the song, it's catchy and seems like the kind of thing people will sing along to. I also liked the picture frame thing at the beginning in Alex's section, but that does not get carried on, and the lighting is not terribly good at that part either, I know how difficult it is to film at night without professional lighting, but your gain may have been up a bit too high as well making it slightly grainy there. You should get some reflectors, you can make one using foam board and covering it in something reflective, like foil, if you can get it to stay straight. They're good for catching light from street lamps or whatever and directing it where you want it to go. Nice video though and really nice resolution as well from the camera. …. That was a really long and weird post, sorry.

    You should direct more videos!

  • Obryans1

    Very Good Fisrt attempt! Keep it up and you will not only create something new but I wan't wait until others pick it up and see where it goes. Maybe you will have a whole new style of music video named for you guys!!!!

    Loved it, very nice video, and beautiful song. Would've loved to hear more from you singing, I love your voice, you're a very talented musician, as are Alex and the others. I hope to ehar more from you in future…

  • http://amour-etoiles.livejournal.com Charis

    It is a lovely song and I very much enjoy the concept behind the band name :)

    I was wondering, however, if the crown drawing above the Sons of Admirals was a model off the crown on top of the Keep Calm and Carry On poster? They seem very similar.

    best of luck in your endeavours :)

  • http://twitter.com/jennegan Jennica Egan

    Great first song! And a very hilarious ending to the video – I've always wondered what people said when they pretend to talk.

  • http://twitter.com/mussbunny Britny Musson

    Its was a very cute and interesting video. I loved the concept and the ending. It has a bit of a Weezer feel to the video but with a different spin. Good job directing. The song itself was fantastic and I loved that everyone participated in the singing and got a bit of story to go on in it.

  • http://twitter.com/MariaMalheiro Maria CC Malheiro

    ahaha the video is very funny! :D

  • shana

    I'll admit, I'm not too keen on the song choice and how you've covered it.
    As an introduction to your new band I don't think going out with a cover that's already been done multiple times by all different artists is a good way to promote yourselves. Personally, the whole cover thing gives of a very amateur vibe to me. Not that I mean to sound harsh, it's just personal opinion. (something I hope you'll appreciate more than “OMG I love you, wicked vid. you're gorgeous.” I could say that, I wouldn't be lying but I'd much rather give you some honest feedback.)
    I do think your editing and directing skills are exceptional. I liked the storyline as well.
    Despite what I said previously, I am keen on seeing what else you have in store, since I think it's just too soon to make up my mind after just one song.
    My apologies for the long comment and I really didn't mean to sound harsh. Good luck with the new project.

  • MarehMonster

    The song is awesome! I love the video as well, really well made/directed :D <3

    The video is really well done, I never fail to be impressed by your editing skills. Great choice of song to cover and you've all got so much talent I hope this works out cos it's a great idea.

  • TheLunarFire

    This is really good! I'm glad you guys are working together on a project like this. I think it brings out the best of each of you.

  • Tess

    I actually just bought this song. You four are so incredibly talented and I really enjoy yours and Alex Days music. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from 'Sons Of Admirals.' Keep up the good work this sounds amazing and the music video is really well made.

  • http://twitter.com/Wildbloodward Jon Turner

    Way to revive a really catchy song. You guys were fantastic! For the most part the video was easy to follow though there was maybe one or two parts where I was a tad confused (but that may be because I haven't had my morning coffee yet :P).

    Question: Where did you get the idea to do this piece? Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant, I'm just curious to know if all of a sudden the concept just might of “popped” right into your head.

    Anyways, keep up the marvelous work! ^_^

    consider some manners, the point of uni is to be able to get a well paying job – if youtube is paying well then mission accomplished ( WITHOUT spending extra money on courses)!

  • Joni

    I liked the concept of the video. Considering the budget and equipment you had, I think it is well done. If it was possible I would have used some more slow motion and made it more dramatic, definately in the 'argument' scene. It could use some focus changes and the background setting might be better if it was 'visually simplified' (less trees,houses, street,… in one background). I liked the color-switching. I thought the music sounded too 'flat' at times (I'm not familiar with the correct terminology.). I'm guessing it's the electronics used in it. I'd prefer more instrumental music, but that might just be a matter of taste. Sorry about the bad English, I'm Dutch :) Good luck on the project! I think it's a good start.

  • Lari

    I think i just fell in love. Amazing Guys! I can't wait for more!:) I woke up and checked your website on my phone and then once I saw a new video was up, I ran to the computer! (I live in the US, so the time difference does this. haha) Anyways, This is an awesome song and video and im truely excited for the next:)

  • http://twitter.com/LVATT Madeline Hudson

    Hey Charlie! So I just saw this right when I woke up and I absolutly LOVE it! So adorable and the song is so GREAT! So, I was wondering, if you guys go on tour, will you come to the U.S.? because I really want to come see you guys! So come to Atlanta Georgia! K? :) <3 I'm so impressed with your video. and I just realized that I have been saying so a lot. Ok i'll stop but please come to ATL. Oh and I loved Alex's pants! haha the only thing that wld have made the video even better is if Eddplant had red pants. Then it would have matched Tom's and your hair! haha ok keep making videos! LOVE YA!!!!!

    What a dashing group of fellas.
    I am so jealous of those girls. So jealous. I can't even stand it.
    But really Charlie,this is made of fantastic things. The video, the song, the band, everything. 'Tis lovely. Well done, pal.
    And congrats on SOA becoming my new favorite band ^______^

  • http://twitter.com/thegreengirl89 thegreengirl89

    I am little lost.You mention “Chameleon Circuit' I didn't understand if that was a mistake or if you really put it in there to say that you guys wont give up your solo music for Chameleon Circuit and SOA, is that right? I think that is right? Sorry its been a long morning. :) I loved loved the song by the way. Though I will be really itching for some new TROCK stuff when the season of Doctor Who is over and done with, which I am very very sad about by the way.

  • Charz

    I admire what you guys are trying to do – breaking traditional conventions of a band and trying out new models – and the editing looks clean and flawless, but I too had issues with the song choice as well as the narrative in the video. On one hand, you're trying new things; on the other, the subject matter is … I don't want to say overdone, but it is staying firmly within 'what works', and frankly I found the narrative to be sexist and slightly misogynistic. I know, I know, it's just supposed to be funny, but it left a bad taste in my mouth that (assuming I understood it correctly) the girls were shown as incapable of being loyal, as well as being shallow and bitchy while the guys 'rose above' the pettiness and walked away.

  • Katrinapolson

    I kind of feel like Cat Stevens should have been more clearly cited, but I like SOA's version better anyway! Great job!

    I loved the song, and I loved the music video. You did a great job, Charlie! Can't wai't to hear more from you! Oh, and btw, if you're going on tour, please consider coming to Norway! :D I'd love to see you guys live! :D

  • http://twitter.com/LotteNienke Lotte Nienke Vries

    Yay, I love it! ^^
    Hehe, in Dutch, SOA stands for 'Seksueel Overdraagbare Aandoening', which is Dutch for Sexually Transmitted Disorder xD
    So SOA means STD :P
    Not that I don't like the band name or anything, just saying.
    Anyway, keep up the good work Charlie! :D

  • Deano

    Wow. Amazing and great that I have met you all ;)

  • Emily

    That video was amazing! And the song to! It sounded so wonderful with the background singing ^^ Great job

  • Marie

    No, come to Stavanger in Norway! That's the place :D

  • Lucy

    Absolutely great!
    It's nice to see some of your acting Charlie, I've always been curious since you mentioned Beowulf a few years back.
    Looking forward to some more songs and videos, this one was wicked :)

  • Andrea

  • GPOEPPEL

    good cover version

  • princess_marzipan

    lol i love how we are all complaining about the fact that his red hair is going to go before it has even gone!

  • http://twitter.com/elliekhor Elizabeth Khor

    Loved the song, the music video and all of your voices. They work really well together :)
    Its amazing how red your hair looks in the sun lol.

  • Renée Bus

    I must say that there are a lot of sluts in this clip, not only the girls. never knew that you boys had it in you!
    Love It

  • Kate

    Charlie it's uber cool :) Just like you!!
    Glad to hear Chameleon Circuit aren't breaking up or anything. I would be lost without my Time Lord rock…..(well, not really, but you know what I mean)
    Nice directing skills!! xD
    Stay cool xxx

  • Fredi94

    i love the song and the video, they were both brillient. when are you releasing your album (probably won't get an answer to that because you never read your comments, so why ask for them, wouldn't it just be easier to leave that bit out and not rase peoples hopes that you'll actually read what they have to say i'm pritty sure that unless it's a video response of on twitter then you don't actually look at what people have said. if what i'm saying isn't true then you will have read this and possibuly replyed in some way, if there's no reply then i'll know that this is true).

  • itsabbiee

    LOVE IT!!
    guess whats going to be in my head all day? really catchy song and AMAZING as well, you guys work really well together :)

  • alice

    Ah I love it :) I think you should all sing a song with either acoutic guitars, ukuleles or random objects from around the house because it would be SO GOOD, :D

  • A Sefa

    What a slut! I mean Charlie, of course.

    Okay, I kid. Very cute song, hilariously cute video. I loved seeing you all walking down the street with comically huge smiles on your faces, and the song will probably be stuck in my head all day. (Except the only words I know are “Here comes my baby,” which is bound to get annoying for me. Sounds like a fun project, and we can't wait to see what you guys might create out of it.

    And I'm going to miss that red hair when it's gone.

  • beckyboo

    AWESOME! I love the way you filmed this. BIG smiles too. You all have such recognisable hairstyles too XD…

  • OliviaW

    You'd love to hear my thoughts, and I'd love to give them to you, but unfortunately, the speakers on my laptop aren't working. I checked everything I could think of…but no luck. And they were working the day before yesterday (I didn't use my laptop yesterday).
    I'll come back and leave another comment once I've acquired the use of a different computer.

  • princess_marzipan

    wow charlie, that was really professional. it was a really good song as well and i gotta say the directing was fab so well done :D by the way just reading back on my comments i sound a bit shocked that the video was soooo good but lol im not i kew it wud be amazing cuz ur stuff always is and thats why ur my fav youtube person type thingy blogger =D

  • sarah

    amazing video :)
    and you're really hot.

  • Seaphire

    That's awesome! Great song, awesome video! I loved the part at the end when you guys walk off all happy and leave the girls fighting XD

  • Rowan Glenny

    Hey, did you re-dye your hair? It looks… Redder

  • Mihiella

    i like your usual videos :( but I'M NOT saying that this video is not god. it's quite opposite, I like it. It's kind cheese and cute :) the story of it is great ( especially the end ;) ) and the hole thing is great. good job! <3

  • Spamphie

    I feel like a hypocrite just thinking about it. “Do you proof read your blog posts before you send them out, Charlie?” is what I really wanted to say, but then I'd just be a complete and utter horrible hypocrite that shouldn't even be here. I never proof read anything of mine and so my grammar is just terrible, so I have no right to say that. Besides that, you didn't have all that many mistakes; even if you did proof read or had someone else do it, then they/you could have easily overlooked them.. so me thinking that is both hypocritical and judgement – shame on me! T_T'

    I really liked the song and music video, for what it's worth. You guys are all really talented and I'm (and everyone else here is) really looking forward to hearing you guys perform together again sometime. You all complement each other really well, so, that's good. Oh yeah, and it was awesome acting on everyone's part… really cool!

    Uh, I'll just leave you to your more worthwhile comments now… ^-^' *goes to hide in shame*

  • bekxx

    That’s some serious editing skills!
    The part where Alex is singing could use a bit (a tiny tiny bit) of lighting, but other than that the video is GREAT! I really hope to see more of Sons Of Admirals :)
    Love,
    B

  • http://twitter.com/malamieszana Jedynak

    All of you guys are adorable. Song is incredible, because each of you put a lot of work and soul into it. Garish red and blue hair give a perfect confluence. Your voices together are the best too. However lyrics of the song don't really harmonize with the video. I'm not a big fault-finder, but this is just my little opinion. Hope you will come through with new ideas and lot of new beautiful songs. It would be a wonderful day if you say anything to me back. Love – Eveline.

  • Spamphie

    I primary *cough* …primarily agree with this comment since I too with miss his red hair. :P

  • Anka867

    ya this is really something new, you guys are talented <3 great job, continue your working =]]
    i really enjoyed this video. one more time- really great job. i like it :D =]]

  • mandy9725

    don't get me wrong when i say this, i mean i still think ur totally hot and amazing but i didn't really like the song but i liked the video
    i still think ur awesome

  • http://twitter.com/lol_its_sara Sara

    I think that this is by far one of the most epic things I have ever seen!!! Four of the coolest people ever all in a band together! I'm excited now :)

  • Avarice

    The red really does suit him though! XD

  • Dinmammaienlitenask

    Oh my god, loved it! The song was really good and I think you can actually hear a bit from every personality in the song, which is really cool!
    Also I cant say im not jealous ^^

  • Jessica

    I am really excited about this. :D Both the song and the video is simply amazing, and there is no doubt that there is a lot of talent behind this. Great initiative! :D

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Graidient Leah K

    The film nerd in me emerges. Oh noes.
    I enjoy the video. I like how you can actually follow the story without really needing props from the music (though the music helps it along).
    I also really like the timing of pans, and how it isn't all straight cuts.
    The angles are also really unique, but all work and are all rather light hearted. That sentence makes more sense to me, but that's alright. The angles are also really professional for an amateur.
    The only tiny constructive criticism I have is that during the night scenes at the beginning, you could make a reflector out of the two sides of tin foil (attach it to cardboard), and using the dull side, you reflect a little more light on to Alex Day's face; it'll help in bringing more focus to it (also, using it whenever you have a close up of anyone. Helps to dispel weird shadows too!).
    By no means am I a professional director anything, and I'm solely commenting from one aspiring director to another. But yeah, great job!

  • http://charliemcdonnell.com/ coollike

    The bad lighting at the start was a budget (I.E. We had none) and timing thing more than anything, we just did the best with what we could find. We definitely saved it with colouring though – it originally looked a LOT darker :P

  • Annie91

    Ed should dye his hair purple and Alex should dye his green… That would round things out nicely…

  • princess_marzipan

    lol charlie u look quite fit on the frame that the vid is on before u press play

  • GallAnonim

    Ty pedale! Łazisz w rurkach?!

  • http://twitter.com/diegoman48 diegoman48

    mmm… seriously i didnt like the video and the song, i dont know is like too alternative, i like more cameleon circuit, or your song, exterminate regenerate, but this time i dont like that at all, is my opinion. keep doing it anyways.

  • Danielle

    SOA is the Dutch acronym for a sexual transmitted disease. I thought you should know.

  • http://twitter.com/Michestellar Michestellar

    I'm a massive Cat Stevens fan (see Harold and Maude… NAO), so I love it that you guys covered it. I'm glad you took out the horns that the original song had and put your own spin on it. You really modernized it and it sounds like something that I could hear on the radio today.

    As for the video, it is cute narrative. It's easy to follow, and that's integral to a good piece of film. It's a little simplistic, but that's okay because it fits the song really well. The bit in the street is a bit too dark for me to see what was going on, though. Maybe you could have put them under a street lamp? Of course, natural lighting at night is… uh… hard to come by, and maybe you wanted it to be really dark like that to match the opening lyrics. If that's the case, don't listen to me. Overall, I feel like you've already improved in directing. 'S good. Keep going!

    Anyway, I am really giddy about this. Hope to hear more from you guys, because I love what I've seen so far.

  • Isabel

    I thought the video was amazing and the song was really great too, you are all brilliant musicians.
    I recently directed a music video too (though yours was far more professional) and I agree it is great fun!
    Thanks so much for all the youtube enjoyment you and all the others have provided :D Love it all.
    xx

  • Katie

    I liked the video (really, it's brilliant!) but I have to say I like the original version of “Here Comes My Baby” better. Nothing to do with all your singing or performance, just…it just didn't appeal to me much.

    You're still awesome though :)

  • Barrso

    HA!!!! Charlie McDonnell, seirel dater!!!!!!!!

  • Black Panther-93

    OMG!!!!
    what a mess………..I liked it but…
    with whom she is dating anyway????
    I do not want to know like you only asked for asking, please answer me ok?

  • clickmyface

    Liked it! Watched the video sitting in starbucks with my iPhone early this morning and bought the song through iTunes after 3 watches. I don't normally buy so easily. I'm glad I watched the video first as it adds a really great story layer that you cant get with the track alone. Its a poppy track, which some might not like, but its totally stuck in my head right now, and I dont argue against things that get stuck in my head. I also enjoyed looking out the window and watching cute girls cross the street while I was listening. Helped pull me even further into the song. Here comes my baby??? No, they just kept walking. Damn! Oh well, thanks Charlie! Cheers Sons of Admirals!

  • Hayleigh <3

    It's really good!
    I'm confused cause you said 'doesn’t mean that any of us are going to be giving up on our solo music, for Chameleon Circuit'
    Don't you mean Sons of Admirals. Nevermind. Loved the video!

  • http://twitter.com/maddi_eatsyou Maddi_eatsYou

    I didn´t hear you singing very often. :/
    You should sing much more, next time ^-^

    but great song, good story :P

    LOVE <3
    I'm very impressed I must say~
    I love this so much!!! ^-^

  • Chumpy :3

    The video was quite good, i liked it :) At the beginning it looks a bit funny, maybe crazy because of you bright hair colours but it's cool.. It's like a feature of your band ;)
    And in my opinion it's a great song. Keep going! <3

    ps. sry for my bad english, i'm from germany but i love your videos and music, it's awsome! :D
    maybe you could play something more rock the next time? :)

  • Chloe Payne

    Can't wait to see what you guys come up with! :D ♥

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/BEJRXVMZ52S5HIGGYD7SRBUXME Chloe

    The video is AMAZING charlie! The light is really good throughout, apart from where Alex is singing where it's a bit too dark in places. The colours are brillant though, really bright and professional. Just thought I'd say, I love Eddplant's voice. It's really cool.

    Well done chazza keep up the good work, and definitely carry on with SOA because you're all AMAZING!

    I LOVE the song and you are all hot however, it's kind of degrading to women. I mean most songs are but the video really shows it. Don't you think?

  • Shara Fly

    love it!

  • http://charliemcdonnell.com/ coollike

    That was never the intention – I just tried to come up with the best story to fit with the song that we chose to cover. I wouldn't look into it any deeper than that :)

  • http://princessehaley.cowblog.fr anne-charlotte

    Hi Charlie,
    To be honnest, at the beginning i found some parts of the video looked a bit too “act”, but now i watch it again it looks better. :)) Otherwise, the montage and the special effects are great especially with the pictures at the beginning (how you do that?), and at 2.30 when Tom has a flashback. And for the shootings, good job! Anyway looks professionnal you stand a good chance in the cinema ;)

    anne-charlotte

  • hahasorandom

    woah that is really good!!! the song is amazing! and the video is really cool :) i love it <3 x

  • Hannah

    I think it was a really good, interesting song and I really liked it! You are a natural at directing, this one was just as good as the one you did for Alex Day – if not better :) You're also an awesome singer and I can't wait for more! Loves xx

  • http://twitter.com/Jen_nifer__ jennifer klaveren

    AAAHH!! I very much liked the fact that you replied to me! n_n

    Haha, can’t wait to see their faces when I tell my friends that I’ve been to a SOA concert, because I certainly will come to england to see you guys perform! (if you guys are gonna perform in the summer vacation) I really hope that you will perform in the vacation otherwise I will probablly be too busy with school.. :(

    :D

  • crunklecakes

    i don't find it at all degrading to women…. i am one, and i'm not afraid to admit that at some time or another, we have all acted like that over a guy ;)

  • Jimena

    The blue guy is so sweet when he sings “I'm still waiting for your heart…” Looks like a little boy (I become the feeling to protect him;P) anyway nice video nice song nice guys nice girls nice town (I'm such a nice person=P)

  • Eloise

    Niiice :)
    I love what you did with the song, and well done on the video, sir.
    This is the perfect procrastination as opposed to actually doing revision. (Well, this and playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 ;) Speaking of which, with all of this happening, have you got it yet? I remember how gutted you were when you didn't have the first :P)
    Anyhoo, I'm excited about the band, I love how different your voices are, yet they still compliment each other.
    Um, tour please? :)

  • Allscream4icecream

    This is so amazing! It's really inspiring to see what you can achieve with no big corporate input! Well done on the whole thing! I really think that one day you're gonna be big and I personally can't wait for more!

  • Sophhuusssss :)

    This is so awesome :D ♡ Really brightened my day watching this :)
    How long do you think before you guys do a new one? I mean i don't expect another straight away as it probably takes some time to make something like this, but I'm looking forward to it :D
    Love your videos :)

  • http://letsponderthat.blogspot.com/ TT-Tardis time

    Honestly I lloved it. I thought it was so original and an amazing cover and if you do go on tour I would so go. I also love the back story behind your band name. I liked it so new and different. Also I loved the video thought it was very professional. Well done old chap!

  • Ellen!

    I just can't handle the part where you touch her nose…it's so hilarious. It truly signifies there's some risky business going on there. I liked hearing all the voices together I think that you all complement each other well.

  • Becca Holley

    loved the video! ive been listening to the song over and over.. bit obsessive but hey. charlie your great at directing and everything, and your all amazing musicians that sound brilliant together. i can't wait to see what you guys do next! <3 xx

  • Midoriko

    Wow, that's fantastic. You're a really excellent director, Charlie. I liked how well the song and story fit together. Plus the song itself is just great :) You guys are brilliant

  • Samissocoollike

    Hey Charlie, I love the song A LOT, but was just wondering if this project is going to slow down the release of your solo album? Are you still making your solo album? But back to the song, I really like it, I think the way all the voices join together is really really awesome :) If you could answer my question that would be cool. Thanks :D

  • http://twitter.com/MissDancing Linni

    This is so awesome! I really enjoy watching the video. Great work, Charlie. :D I knew this song before and I have to say that you really did a great cover. I'm impressed, you guys are so talented in any way. :) Hope to see/hear more of you as a band. Have you planned anything? Some more cover songs or new ones? I'm excited to hear about it. :)

    is so so sweet!.. great job Charlie

  • emily elizabeth

    i really liked the song and the video was great!

  • Alice

    You've done well in forming a 'band of boys' without seeming like a 'boyband' (not that I could see you sitting on high stools and doing westlife style 'dancing', however, come to think of it, that would be pretty hilarious).

    The video looks the most professional yet and was a really nice narrative. Particuarly liked Alex's 'how you doin' face when he 'got the girl', and I'm looking forward to seeing what other songs you tackle :)

    The harmonies sound really good and will be a nice touch to when you perform it live :)

  • Lovisa

    The song it self is great, the lyrics outstanding and the video in whole is just awesome! :) By all means don't stop! you guys'll probably go pretty far with this :)

  • Hadley

    The song is amazing. I'm sure its going to be bought a lot (haha that rhymed) Its a very cute music video. I know I'll be buying the song. The lyrics in themselves were really good.
    You guys are amazing musicians.
    P.S. You have a really great smile.

  • Samissocoollike

    That's higher than Justin Bieber, Black Eyed Peas, Cheryl Cole, Muse and the Glee Cast!!! You should be very proud :)

    The four of you together might just be awesome enough to bring world peace or end hunger, or make fangirls ever where die from over exposure to awesome-ness!

  • Alex

    I think the song and music video are spectacular. I'm so excited to see all four of you come together to make incredible music. I love all of your styles, and I'm sure you'll be epic together. Please tour in Canada (I know, far stretch even asking). :)
    And you can tell that you guys are unique and not mainstream. The bromance in the video is awesome. =P
    Excited to see more!

  • Jess Domin

    love it :)
    very professional!
    I thought charlie needed to have more to sing though as i love his voice :)
    looking forward to hearing more from SOA!

  • http://twitter.com/Michestellar Michestellar

    Of course. That’s totes understandable. And it’s not like it hurts the video any. In fact, now that I think about it, I quite like it when it transitions from the night to the day. It’s very striking visually. Also, it seems that the best projects are made with very little budget on a very limited time frame. It forces you to be more creative. :)

  • Sarah

    well done, boys. and nice editing, charlie. i love the song!

  • Jess Domin

    Will You be touring in Bath?

  • leighbee13

    I'm so excited for this band! If you tour near London I will definitely be there.

    already said this on youtube but…
    The hair colours are not right; either nerimon or eddplant needs to go blonde. For the purposes of aesthetics. For the good of the band. DO IT

  • TheViewer

    The first thing that came to my mind, when I saw you side by side was… Primary Colours :p

  • Solene D

    This song is so cheesy but I love it. :)

  • Hadley

    This is already all over.
    Amazing.
    Who was the one you want to bleach his hair? Alex or Eddplant? That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw all of you.
    Keep on being awesome.

    That was pretty hilarious, I must say. It's so cool how you can make videos like that! I definitely enjoyed that song. Good job, guys!

  • Jenny

    Come to Ireland!! xD

  • guest

    love the band name. the music video is definitely your best so far. i think that edd's voice is the best in this song but it your all really great together. good luck!!!!

  • Anya :)

    Northern Ireland pleeease :)

  • Timea

    Dear Charlie,
    considering how much work you and your friends put into this song & vid I feel bad saying that I don't actually like the song :( The topic & music are way too cheesy for me…The melody is kinda catchy, maybe I just miss that funny wittiness I love in your songs.
    BUT, you guys are pretty good singers, and you're creative as well, so I hope you'll do well in the future. Also, the editing work is pretty awesome. Although this vid is not different in quality and style from the one you made for Alex, you combined some great shots here and the vid is lovely and entertaining. Good job, boy!
    So, even if I'm not entirely charmed by this production, I look forward to hearing new songs from you and your band. Keep up the good work, Charling ;-)

  • Anne-Kristine Nygaard

    your voices are very similar
    video is so freaking adorable
    wish I was those girls

    great job charlie

  • Anya :)

    Right, I love you.
    I love this song.
    I love Alex.
    I love your hair.
    I hate the way you held emma's hand.
    Thats my only negative aspect :D
    But its just amazing :)
    On my iPod atm :D xx

  • atsirk

    Fabulous song :) I–along with every other girl– am very jealous of those girls in the video, however.

    Well done, Charlie. <3

  • Timea

    Also, I love the oxymoron at the end of your blog text: “to hear your thoughts” :D

    PLEASE DONT STOP CHAMELEON CIRCUIT!!!! i think i'd die……… i need my TROCK XD
    but that was also amazing!!!!!!!! sooooooooooooooooooooo just keep it up :D and when will i get my t-shirt??? ahahah love you! xxxxxxxxx

  • Steph

    This band is my dream. I think I actually remember thinking to myself 'Wouldnt it be AWESOME if Charlie, Alex, Tom and Ed made a band?' I'M NOT KIDDING.
    It's a brilliant single, I cant stop listening to it. And the video is great. I am so excited by this, I can't wait to hear the songs that you guys have all made yourselves, especially with the songwriting talent that all four of you have.
    OH MAN. This is so great. <3

  • Madeline Catlin

    OH MY GOD. WONDERFUL. CHARLIE, YOU'RE A GREAT VIDEO DIRECTOR. I AGREE WITH ANYA, THE ONLY FRUSTRATING PART WAS WHEN YOU HELD EMMA'S HAND.
    BUT I'LL DEAL.

  • Cath

    This is really awesome!! I really love the song!

    Oh, abreviating the band as SOA sounds a little weird since I'm for Belgium and here a SOA is a STD :$

  • Sheikor

    Hi there !
    First, I apologise for any mistake I could do, English isn't my mother tongue and, despite the fact that I love this language, I don't speak English perfectly.
    I am a belgian guy, 18, and I do like what you do. I'll be honest, I haven't looked at all your videos (yet), but the few ones I saw showed me that you are a pretty good actor -and signer. My favorite one is Chemical Love, by the way. Maybe the secret is that you're simply yourself ? Wathever, know that at least one belgian person likes what you do x) I hope you go successful in your career, wathever it is -music, movies, or anything else- because you seems to deserve it.

    PS : If I ever see you on the street, I'll try to remember pointing a finger at you and shout : I FOUND YOU, CHARLIE !

  • Sarah

    This is so great! All of your voices work so well together and it's just fantastic. I can't wait to hear more and I'd definitely come see you on a tour! :D

  • Sheikor

    Really ? That’s nice ^^ Then, turn my “at least one belgian person” into “at least two belgian people”, then ;p

  • Joske

    Dear Charlie !I like the song really :D I can't wait to hear more of you^^
    I agree with Cath, SOA is in Dutch a STD XD bit weird. But the whole idea I DO LOVE :D

    Can I be honest and say, even though I think he's an incredible person, Alex Day is an average singer at best.

  • Anita

    Since you’re explicitly asking to hear our thoughts, I’m going to comment. But beware, I’ll be honest.

    I think the directing and editing was very good (though not as impressive as “The Time Of Your Life”, which was outstanding, but the robot girl thing offered more possibilities than this rather ordinary, straightforward video). The introduction of the band in the beginning works really well, some parts of the night shots are a bit dark (I know you responded to that already, I just brought it up, because I know from experience how hard it is to get some proper lighting for a night shot, and wanted to add that you used the light that was there quite well), the scene with the photograph is a great idea and beautifully done, and the flashbacks with the faded colour look pretty good, too.

    It was a good idea that you didn’t try to go for a romantic video with longing glances etc., but that you kind of embraced the awkwardness and exaggerated it a bit, so that it’s really fun to watch. At first it seemed odd that there’s no chemistry at all between the guys and the girls (even though both girls’ flirty acting was good), but at 2:42, at the latest, I was convinced that this was actually what you were going for. That gesture was just plain funny. XD

    The song was … something I didn’t expect. First of all, it took me by surprise that it’s a cover version (I know you don’t like to call it that, but I don’t know how else I should put it). And frankly, I don’t like the song, but that’s just my personal opinion. Hence, I don’t quite see why you’d choose this particular song, but I’d be interested in the reasoning. After your truly clever and witty Chameleon Circuit songs (and also your clever and witty Charlie songs), the lyrics of this cover are just unbelievably shallow and boring in comparison.

    I’ve just read through what I’ve written up till here, and I think it sounds like a lot of critique and like I’m thoroughly disappointed, so I thought I’d point out that I’m not. (And even if I was – just a tiny little bit, mind you! – bear in mind that you’ve raised the bar so high with your previous excellent work!) And I’m not gonna judge the Sons Of Admirals by this song, I’m very much looking forward to hearing some original material!
    Still, I’m glad to hear that you won’t give up Chameleon Circuit, ’cause I can hardly wait to hear that song about not drinking water on Mars. :D

    I hope you (or anyone else who took part in the making of this song and video, which I know was a lot of work) are not offended by anything I’ve written, and I wouldn’t have given my opinion if you hadn’t asked for it. But getting only “great, I love it”-comments isn’t exactly helpful, either, is it?

  • Luv_u_lots

    The sound on my stupid computer isn’t working!! I so want to hear it!!!!

  • http://twitter.com/JennMOlson Jennifer Olson

    Haha! I loved this video!!!!! You all have good voices!!! If you go on tour, are you going to the US? ans to Minneapolis, minnesota? Plz say you are!!!!!!

  • elliekatequick

    You are all just too cute :3 though I must say Edd is SO FIT :D

  • Irena

    I am soooo sorry, Charlie, I am a true fan of yours, but I don't like it :(

  • Orangeelephant2

    How do you guys all have wonderful voices? Sheesh I'm very jealous :3
    Also, I bet you have heard this a billion times(not really that many), that your very good looking :]
    ~Melanie :D

  • Allison

    Ahhh! I love it! Keep up the good work! :D

  • Katy

    Awesome, loved that cover Charlie, quite a funny vid too =D. You Alex, Tom and Eddplant rock XDDDD You 4 should make a brilliant band YOU WILL BE AS BIG AS THE BEATLES. Ok, so maybe not that awesome, but pretty awesome nevertheless =). Have a nice day, katy x

  • MeGaN

    LOL when i first saw this video I thought you ACTUALLY started a band called “The Primary Colours” XD

  • Carly

    Lovely, lovely, lovely. I really like the concept of the video; I think it's super well done. The music is nice and catchy, and you're all marvelous musicians. What more could I possibly say?

  • Isaac

    The more I watch that video the more confused I get. I can understand LOST, but I don't understand this. Someone will have to explain it to me… possibly with post-it notes.

  • OliviaW

    The song itself…meh, but I think you guys did a good job with it. Now, the video, on the other hand, WOW. That was an AWESOME video! You really took it to the next level there, Charlie.

  • gabiiescobar

    So, I loved that song, and I like how your friend's voice are different but together it makes THIS-which is pretty cool.
    MOST IMPORTANTLY, however, I think that me and my friend should be in this video.
    Because we love you, and Alex as well.
    And I'm sure we will end up loving Tom and Eddplant, as well.

  • eliina

    I am loving the coloured hairiness – you should definetly try to twist alex's arm to get him to dye his hair too!! Brillliant music, but what more do we expect? All I can say is: you rock!!!!

  • MyNameChristine

    Awesome! x
    I bought the song :D

  • http://twitter.com/hellomadworld rafaellaishappy. ^^

    I think it's great that you 4 are doing a thing together, without giving up the old personal things. that's not very common, but it will be awesome! you're combinated efforts have made a wonderful tune. :D
    also, i really think you're very talented in editing videos. you are! i hope someday you get to be a film producer. maybe, who knows, you could one day produce a book i'll write someday… yeah, i've always been a big dreamer. xD
    anyway, you've probably read this tons of times but yes, the song is fabulastic, i can't wait to listen to more SOA's music. :D
    x

  • Capt. Jack Harkness

    The song was brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

  • JamesPeterBailey

    SOA Music is teh seckseh :D

  • EllenMelon

    very good! the outrageous hair colors makes it even better as far as i'm concerned! (:

  • Fanni

    The song is great! I like it:)

  • Daisy

    TOUR PLEASE!!!!! :D
    and come to the north of England, we love you here too :)
    Also well done on the video, very funny, and love the use of the photograph in Alex's first bit :)
    I love you. <3

  • Kate

    Ahhhh, that was TOTALLY amazing :)
    Seriously, if you ever come anywhere in surrey, to a little town called sutton, TELL US! I can gather up an army of charlie lovers :D
    Seriously though, you guys are so awesome!
    Keep it up! :D xx

  • Juliet♥

    This is an awesome song. :]

  • Cristina

    The song is very cool :)
    I really liked the video too, mostly that part off the pictures
    well done ;D

  • Kerem

    I don't know if it's my computer, but it seems to me that the video was too dark in the “midnight” part, I couldn't tell what was happening there… except for that, I think it was very coollike! :P Loved the song as well!!! You guys did a great job, and I am so sorry that in Latin America you're not as famous as you are in the UK, 'cause a concert here, would be soooo GREAT!!!
    And Charlie as long as you keep smiling like that, I'm going to be your fan, like, FOREVER!! <3

  • tasi!

    as usual you're amazing.

  • Katie

    this was awesome! I WANT A T-SHIRT!

  • Laura

    Amazing song! :D Well done all of you! :)

  • Anna ^^

    I agree with Anita; it's really hard making a music video and you've done so well- the colours are fantastic, the narrative behind it works well and makes sense, and the lyncing is spot on. Sons of Admirals made this song so much better for a modern audience (Y)

  • Anna ^^

    *syncing.
    Not lyncing. God knows what that is. =/

  • Crazychic Tailia

    NEW BAND!!!!!
    EEEEEEKKKKKKK! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAY

    Chameleon Circuit :( </3

    But, I do kiiiinda love it :)

  • Sda

    Oh God, that was sort of cringeworthy. I usually like your songs and love the ones written by Alex but this one was a little bit.. soppy. This'll probably drown in a sea of fangirls but yeah, not cool Charlie.

  • Lydia

    WHY HASN'T THIS HAPPENED BEFORE?!? I love all four of you and you're all amazing! I'm surprised the universe hasn't imploded from so many awesome forces colliding in this song! I have to say that I especially like that you all have a singing part in this song. (Although I think yours should've been a little longer, Charlie. XD)

    The music video is uber cute, and I definitely think you should keep this up! Your ideas are always pretty amazing.

    P.S. I'm hoping for an album from the Sons of Admirals in the future, okay? XD

  • Zara:)

    Aww love it :) x

  • nitathepita

    I loved it!! Keep up the great work, I enjoyed the poppy sort of feel to it and the xylophone (i think) in the background. :D Charlie, you definitely should've sung more though :)

  • claire

    remembers me of barbie and the sensations. <3

  • roxy214

    My friend and I are madly in love with you, and next time you come to the US you should party with uss!!!! :) Love you charlieeeee!!!

    i love SOA!! you all have such a unique sound! and mixed together its just amazing! btw i love tom saying ''you have one of the least sublte tastes in jewlery i have ever seen in a woman!!'' you guys should audition for eastenders…! that would…. i think i might die! lol in short, i <3 you, i <3 SOA.

    p.s. if your ever in ireland, dublin specificly, tweet it. i NEED an ''i found charlie' badge. if you even come to dublin for like.. an hour i PROMISE i will make it your most memorable finding charlie moment EVER! i'll bring a tardis!! i'll give you my sonic screwdriver!! please just come!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • Sinead

    All of your voices really work together i think :)

  • love the song choice and i think you guys did a really good job of actually making it your own rather than just straight copying the cat stevens original.
    one minor detail…i am slightly worried about how skinny alex's legs actually are :s
    i dont mean to be rude, they're lovely legs but WOWZA!!!
    i'd kill to have legs that skinny! :P

  • Poly Esther

    love it (:, greetings from chile!

  • jane

    ah class song. i have that girls outfit (the one with the big bust in the shorts haha) x

    that was amazing!! your voices all blend together so perfectly! it's like u were born to be in a band together!!!i can't wait for more songs!!

  • Liv

    Dear Charlie
    I think you did a great job on this music video, I love it! You all have great voices and the acting is pretty good to:P I really enjoyed watching this and I can't believe you directed it! I could never dream of having that kind of talent. Great song and video ! :) I can't wait to see more!

  • Hierholzer

    I love this video, it was really cute! Not sure if “cute” is the word you're going for, but what I mean is, it was a fun concept for a video. You all sound great together, and it makes me curious to hear/see more of your guys' work! There's definitely lots of potential here, you can go a lot of ways with the music. It was both realistic AND funny, so you've got good stuff going. It was very well done :)
    Can't wait for more, Charlie!

  • Kate McGowan

    I absolutely loved it! And you did a lovely job directing. It's just amazing all around.

  • Maddy

    Such a good song, I've already boufght it and listened to it soo much, it's offically stuck in my head, and I do rather love the band name :)

  • Hierholzer

    Forgot to mention some stuff:
    -I like the work with Alex holding up the pictures and it being real, that was cool!
    -The ending was brilliant when the guys just let the girls fight, and walk away at the end- way to go!!! Life's more fun when you're not dealing with stupid drama. Yeah, I liked that ending. It just made me smile :)
    -I can tell that you guys love what you do, have fun with it, work together well, and make a great finished product.
    Mission accomplished, woohoo!

  • Amelie

    wow! this song it's verry… verry good!!! I dont no when I say thic in englash but… c'Est trop bien!!! vraiment j'adore!!! c'est trop coll et ta band à l'air trop flyé!!! bravo!!! It's perfect!!!! good!!! GOOD!!!

  • Kristina

    Oh. . . my . . . god!!! i LOVED it. it was great and i cant wait for ya'll to make more. i really loved the colorfull hair. lol. my hair is usually alot of random colors such as purple and blue racoon tails and bright greed streaks, and soon it will be purple. because of course i look better in purple. :D well annnyyywwhoooo. i loved the video. my friend and i (who is also a fan of yours) seriousley thought of making youtube videos buuutt, we're technology stupid and i barely know how to work a camera. which, i know, is strange considering we're modern day teenagers, but its true. but we may be kidnapping our best friend Frank to do that stuff for us. yaay, well anyway, i hope you continue making videos and songs for SOA and your solo career.

    Love ya,
    Kristina

  • Alice XD

    Haha! That was so cool! At first I really only knew who you and Alex were (love you Alex!!), but I really liked that guy with the blue hair (Tom you said? I think…) Anywhoo! His hair is very pretty!

    Of course now I feel like a bad person for only talking about his hair sooo… Music evaluation time! It was really good! Great! Super fly! XD I really like your new band! They have a great sound and the lyrics are refreshingly original! Thumbs up! I really hope to hear more!! XD

  • Kay

    That was really cute! The song was so nice, but i feel like it should have been longer or something. It was really catchy, though. I also really love that there's no lead vocal, lead guitar, lead bagpipe or xylophone or whatever…from what i understand of your description, you all kind mostly do everything? (obviously not EVERYone does EVERYthing, but you work as a unit-ish-type-thing?) Either way, i really enjoyed that all of the guys sang the song. As for the video, it was really nice how the story kind of came full circle, but if the song was a wee bit longer, there might have been more time to establish more of a history in the relationships between the characters.
    WOO, sorry about this long post! I probably sound like some brat who thinks they know something about something. Honestly, this is just my very first impression, and please don't take it seriously if you don't feel what i've said is valid. I TRULY enjoy your (as in, all of the guys') work, and please, for the sake of your fans' sanity, KEEP IT UP!!

  • Little John

    So we've got red, blue… And brown? Alex and… Um, whichever the body with the piercings that also has brown hair, really need to pick it up. I'm thinking green and orange? Some nice contrasting colors for you and… Um… Mr. blue hair.

  • stephlovescharlimon!

    I thought it was amazing! I'd been waiting all week for a new video from charlie and/or alex. I admit i was getting a bit impatient. But an amazing music video starring both of them and TOM (love his blue hair by the way!) completely made my day. I <3 charlimon! Sons of Admirals is going to go very far! NEW FAV BANDD!

  • Karlie

    It sounds so great, Charlie. I can't wait to see/hear more from you guys. You all rock :)

  • http://twitter.com/Stanage Ty Stanage

    So my previous posts were sort of an instant reaction, and I honestly was just saying, “meh,” but….

    The more I mull this video/song over (and the more time it spends in my Subscriptions box, which means I have to watch it a couple more times to rid my boredom), the more and more I like it. I will pretty much echo Hierholzer's thoughts, and say that it's obvious that you all enjoy working together and making great music–and that's what matters most.

    People were commenting on some technical aspects, like color, transitions, and lighting, and I must say: these guys don't have the budget of Lady Gaga to produce videos, and if you take that into consideration along with the fact that no professionals were involved, I think you must give Charlie and anyone else who helped make this video a pat on the back.

  • http://twitter.com/Jillimouse Jill Andersen

    Love it. haha
    Thing is what I love most about it is probably not necessarily what you'd want to hear or maybe not your usual “compliment” in a way.

    What I love about it, and what made me enjoy this immeasurably and smile all the way through is mainly due to how all 4 of you are really awkward, super geeky aaaand not the best of actors, but very genuine, all of you exceedingly talented and funny which makes you all very, very loveable and this video incredibly enjoyable. so…, awkward and geeky but in a very good way (if that makes any sense to you) O_o”
    Also the song is super catchy – I've watched it only once and I've already got the chorus stuck in my head – which is defo a big plus. :)

    compliments on the editing and quality of the whole thing! here and there it's maybe a bit rough on the edges but in general extremely good work for an amateur production. And I love the idea – the 'storyline' – it works very well with the song (duh… >.>)

    charlie… say, did u re-dye your hair? or is the colour saturation increased on this? or is it just the sunshine? cuz suddenly it seems very, VERY red again XD – and it clashes amazingly with Toms bright blue hair >< awesome. lol

    they didn't write it… its a cat stevens cover. its still really good though

  • Lina

    I´m watching the video on and on and on. It´s brilliant :)

  • cnev

    5 STARS!!!!

    i thought it was brilliant for your first legit music video! i loved how everyone intertwined with one another just going back and forth. a band that actually uses all of its musicians voices on a single track how incredibly amazing is that! i loved that everyone was able to showcase their own talent and it wasn't simply one dominant voice, everyone was incorporated and had equal “camera time”. i loved it charlie, i see big things for this band, keep up the amazing work!!

  • Kinniefun

    I loved, loved, loved it. But does this mean no more Trock, because that would be super sad?

  • The Finnish Guy

    The heavy drum or whatever thing pretty much ruins it

    yep i just relized that stupid me >.> my bad still love it tho

  • audrey

    i love the song and i love the video and i think the blue haired kid is cute and thats all i have to say =)

  • Roobear

    I think the lyrics and vocals are fantastic, but the drums are overdone and the other instruments sound a little too percussive. Music video was very well done; I'm impressed! But definitely ease up on the drums. Great job!

  • averagecow

    I thought it was okay, but I'm sure your new band can come up with even better things in the future. the song and video weren't as artistic as i would have hoped and it was somewhat generic. But it wasn't bad at all!

  • MT

    I feel like the bass is really heavy or something… The lyrics are nice, though. :P

    This song sums up perfectly the saying bro's before hoe's. i approve! :) very good bit of editing charlie btw.

    charlie, i mean really this video is unbelievable, creative, and entertaining- as was your last one. But this is even better, i loved the way you but the lyrics into motion through the different sequences and such, and the camera work was top notch. The tree shots at the beginning, WOW really awesome

  • My_chem99

    loved it! :)

  • Elizabeth

    :D
    I really liked it, Charlie. The video idea is cute. It made me smile. I also loved the song. Willing to bet that it'll get stuck in my head.

  • Elise is so cool like

    AWESOME!!!!!

  • http://twitter.com/tantofas jennyfer (:

    isnt the girl (with straight hair) one of the girls who tried to be the singer of “I've got nothing”? she's really pretty.

    but about the vid itself… I looooved it! it's nice how you played up with the couples. how each time one member sings, the girls are with different guys and everything.”baby” is such a nice word to play up with! I mean, because of the fact that it works for fe/male. cool.

    and finally, about the song… it's cute (: I mean, it's very catchy but not in a bad way. I'm totally keen on it! congrats, sons of admirals! haha
    and if I may ask… how did you come up with the name of the band? what's the whole story behind it?

    xxx jennyfer (cheers from brazil!)

  • http://twitter.com/tantofas jennyfer (:

    haha and I forgot to mention that your hair looks extremely shiny in the sun, charlie! hahaha did you dye it in a different shade of red? it looks good.

    xxx jennyfer

  • song plus penguin thongs

    great song, but a bit strange. would have loved to see more of you in it, and i think that the guy with blue hair is a little weird. I think you should do a really powerful song, with amazing lyrics that really speak to people. It doesnt haver to be fast, and it would expand your fan base. Also i think you should dress up in a penguin suit and dance around to the thong song. Not sure why….like i said in my last comment, but i dont know if you get comments from other than the most recent videos, so yeah

  • um excuuuuuse me!

    um i dissagree(sorry about the spelling) they are pretty good singers, for a teenage band!!! give it a change!

  • Diana

    Kudos to the person who picked Cat Stevens to cover… i really love that song and I liked what you did with it! I still think Alex should dye his hair blonde. But then what about Eddplant… hmmm, well he could be one of the secondary colors I guess.

    Good Luck!!

    Love the song! You blokes are great! Love you guys!

  • mj

    Hope I won't come off as too pompous, or too rude for that matter, but the video seems to be a tad… literal? Don't get me wrong, I love your videos in general, and this one's no different in technical terms. It's scene after scene of pleasant angles and lighting, as well as being solidly edited, but the actual content seems almost too simple. I can understand the desire to tell the narrative of the song through the video, but to do so doesn't quite credit the viewer’s intelligence. Maybe I'm asking too much, but a music video could, and should, be more than just a visual aid to the song – the best music videos could stand alone as pieces of art. A song only appeals to one of your five senses, so why not overwhelm and enshroud another in wonder, awe or perhaps even disorientation. Look at, say, the video for 'Rabbit in Your Headlight' by UNKLE, or 'Atmosphere' by Joy Division. Both are filled with imagery that, at first glance, might seem pretentious, affected or just downright nonsensical. With many viewings and a lot of patience, however, you peel back the layers of symbolism. It’s like a rewarding challenge for the audience, and one that, once they’ve solved it, they’ll be glad they to the time to do, finally realising that the mass of spoon-fed visuals in most music videos on closer inspection yield… wait for it… nothing! As a director, I know you’re limited by budgets and other inescapable evils. I’m only commenting like this as I realise you just want to make better videos. From reading the other comments, it seems like most people think you’re well, and I agree with them wholeheartedly. Maybe next time, just shake it up a little. Just promise me you won’t do a Lady Gaga.

    Also, very cheeky – steal a classic Cat Stevens classic, then throw a beat at it and hope it sticks. You’ve all got good voices by the way, especially the one that’s not you, Alex or the lad with blue hair.

  • Alex Lafroy

    Its really good work… you should make more songs… solo as well as with SOA…

    I love this song so much. I keep listening to it and now I have most of the song memorized. Like I extremely love it. Also you look absolutely adorable. I would love to give you a hug. That's all. Good Job.

    I loved it! So cute! Yes, I'm talking about you! =]

  • elliellielliellie

    chameleon circuit are more to my taste i think.
    this is good, but just not my sorta thing, i'll keep an ear out for any more stuff by you guys though, it might just be the one song i'm not fussed about.
    and seriously charlie, after this series of Doctor Who finishes i'm expecting a song about the crack in the wall and the pandorica opening! as well as a video stating, now you've had a chance to judge him, the final verdict on Matt Smith as the doctor :)

  • Cocktails42

    I think it's all quite admirable. (And I have to join Ringo in asking: Where did the band name pop out of?)

  • http://twitter.com/zaziel yahawa

    its, ok, but I still like blink a lot!

  • Alexis

    It's a great song, can't wait to hear more from SoA. Video-wise, I loved the way the picture frame 'framed' the girl and guy at the beginning. :) that was really creative and cute! and Tom at the end… hahaha.

  • Sam

    It's definitely stuck in my head.

  • Shirin

    Isn't this already a song???

  • Shirin

    Anyways I love the song and the music video was phenomenal! U guys rock!!

  • Kristin

    It's good to see you in more of a structured music video :) I mean, I still enjoy your little videos of just you, it's just a nice change :)

    The video is great and well done, and the music/singing is good too :)

    I like it.

  • Katie Coolidge

    I kinda really enjoyed it. Four of my favourite youtube musicuans in band together..It made my day! :)

  • Alice B.

    Yeah seeing such great talent come together was wonderous. I thought you did great job on the music video too and I'm a film major. Oh I have a question actually, almost like a psychological project, do you think whether or not a person is shallow has a lot to do with culture? Like Americans are more shallow than the English [that was a terrible example] but yeah. I'd be interested in your opinion.

  • MaryElizabethMathison

    This is really amazing. It's really cool to see all of you coming together to make this video and song. If only I lived in London…anyway, this song was extremely coollike.(:
    I hope you keep making them.

  • Bridgetchoffman

    so bassically bros befor hoes

  • CapitaineJolie

    Go to Alex Day's channel; he has a video that explains the name and the band's origin.

  • Isabella

    you guys are so incredibly amazing! i luv u! i wish i lived in london! D: keep making amazing music! :)

  • Kayla

    This is something special and unique. Keep up the incredible work! Random: Did you re-dye your hair??

  • Madee

    Or alternatively… dicks before chicks :P

  • Storeykate92

    Incredible! I didn't know what to expect when I started watching the video, but this song is definitely something uniquely spectacular. Every member brought something great to the mix; I wasn't familiar with Eddplant pre-song, but found out soon his voice is of equivocal amazingness to his name. Also, song aside, the video was brilliant.
    Can't wait to hear more from Sons of Admirals. :)

  • Camila

    Who knows, you could be the next Michel Gondry. That's the way he started, directing the videos for his band, Oui Oui.

  • Lexa7D7

    i loved it and would love to hear more! you are all insainly talented! (and nice job directing the vid its brilliant) charlie you have an amazing voice! i love when you sing your solo songs so much and whenever i hear that another song by you and your friends or just you yourself has come out i end up listening to it and buying it! your fantastic keep up the outstanding work!!

  • Aluna Soenarto

    honestly, i like the video clip much…thats funny vid clip ;D

  • Ice (:

    That was (Y).
    Glad to hear that Chameleon Circuit still exists (:
    *Hums here comes my baby*

  • Anna<3

    Its really great! But my friends and I thought it was a little confusing with the switching guys and stuff(:

  • hundred_freckles

    Charlie, that song is amazing I loved it and I can't stop singing “here comes my baby, here she comes now” take care and you are never gonna belive this but I'm from Chile… how weird is that? bye!

  • srtafarytalechas

    Charlie, you and your buds efforts on this song are great. Downloaded it. Recommended it to my friend and boyfriend. You are an amazing young man, and the red hair definitely makes you stand out. Talented and self-effacing as well as humble. That's rare to capture and maintain as a celebrity…which in your own right you are. I am envious of all the straight girls whose hearts you will break. You are my straight boy crush. And I'm okay with that.

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/YD4SEVTQYMCABFJHVCC4RW2XVA Jessica

    Very cool video. Definitely acheived that professional standard you mentioned! Good job. Looking forward to seeing more songs from SOA and your own solo pieces :)
    You and Alex looked great at the DFTBAs btw (that just sounded like I was there myself!). How cool is it that you presented an award!!!!!!!!

  • Jessica

    Really great song!
    I now have “Here comes my baby. Here she comes now” in my head :)
    Love your red hair too ♥

  • Freakyqueen07

    i think u sing bes outta the lot and the music was amazing! Loved it! ;D

  • Zoe

    Brilliant song, loved it! It has been going over in my head since I heard it :)
    I really liked the video as well, very nicely directed :)

  • Cynthia

    Really cool music video, i just can't stop listening to this song, even when i was doing my geography revision;) U guys've done so well! I do love the new version than the original one!
    btw,your red hair look extra red under the sunshine, Beautiful♥♥

  • xSoupyTwist

    I'm gonna post here what I posted on Alex's blog, but slightly different. I really love the whole concept behind the band, and how you guys came up with the name. It's times like these where you gotta really love the internet, and communities like YouTube. Bringing together wonderfully talented people to do even more amazing things. :)

  • Sophie

    This didn't show up in my subscription box or my feed for your blog. My internet has betrayed me >:|

    Great video, what programs did you/The Mysterious Tom Bacon use to edit and colour it? I've tried to colour films in Final Cut and it looked disgusting. Do please enlighten me.

  • unschooled52

    We all love this and are now fans of the Admirals as we all ready were of Alex Day

  • LennMan

    cool song…
    I can't stop listening to it.

  • Fez

    so good. songs been in my head all day, ended up dancing to it in the end. tom and ed are amazing playing the instruments (not sure if charlie or alex played any only know of those two) i'll never get over how many tom can play it's freaking awesome

    music video was also grea, just completly worked with the song, timing and everything. well done. and im sure alex was a champ as well. you all song fantastically couldn't of been a better band with or without anyone else.

  • Makenna

    great song! so catchy and i just bought it on itunes :) music video was really good and i look forward to hearing more songs :D

  • Iamloreto

    I love the song and the music video, and when the blue haired boy started to sing I almost die hahaha

  • Npudsey

    honestly guys for a bunch of youtube muso's your all amazing.
    thumbs up for son of admirals :D

  • rashel

    he was definatly super cute :)

  • http://twitter.com/cintiacastagno Cintiacastagno

    so catchy!!!
    i cant stop singing it!!
    congratsss

  • fantasticfran

    man, I had the wierdest dream about SOA and me and Big Brother. Basically we were all on BB-I don't even like the programme! That was the extent of the dream, clearly reassuring me that my decision to like SOA was the right one :)

  • http://www.whatsnextonthelist.blogspot.com Hollybaby390

    Hmmm, while I do agree with others that your song was catchy and whatnot, I do have some pointers to say about the video. I think it was a little bit to slow, the editing pace could have been a lot faster and I think you could have used faster cuts to tell more of a story between the two girls and the group of friends. GREAT use of sun-flare in the beginning, I am seriously addicted to sun-flare. The opening shot of the guy with blue hair talking confused me, I thought there was something wrong with the audio until I realized it was just an establishing shot. I think the lighting could have been better for the night shots, yes it was dramatic, but hard to see. And it looked a little grainy, with lighting it would have been smoothed out.
    All in all, a very enjoyable music video, but not at the professional level yet. It is obvious that it was pretty much no budget, and is to choppy (both shooting and editing) to have that effortless look that the experts have. Keep going and you'll get there!

  • Sairs1111

    This is so cool!
    i would have personally loved to hear u more though, everyone kind of got there own verse but charlie??
    So want to see/hear more!!
    :D XXX

  • Roloo_

    I like it! :)

    A little fun fact, SOA ( Seksueel Overdraagbare Aandoeningen) is the Dutch translation of STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease). Just so you know!

    xoxo

  • jempin515

    Love the idea and very catchy :) Not really a professional video but a nice one- i like the song better with the accompanying video because it explains it. I love it when blue-hair-guy (I think it's Tom Milsom?) starts to sing it's a really sweet part that rounds up the song and leads to its conclusion. I love love love the bit where Alex comes up behind you and puts his hand on your shoulder and you shrug and smile and then all four of you walk off as friends. It makes me feel all warm and content with the end :)

  • Sophie

    Such a catchy song, I love it! The music video is also really cool, keep up the work and I hope to see more Sons Of Admirals music soon!

  • Linn

    Its a really lovely song! and i think you should go for it! Its a great idea and i would defiantly come to your concerts (: …
    The music video is really nice, i like its not all professionallike but its has a nice story line and in the end you can't help but be happy (: !! great work, thumps up! This is your fist music video and your going to become much better with time, but i love a rough cut to things (:
    Good luck to you and your friends! say hello to Eddplant for me and say i love his voice :D .. aww damn i love all of your voices! :3

  • Rianne

    Wow, I definitely want to hear more of this. This song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day, but since it's a great song I don't really mind. As someone pointed out before me, SOA is Dutch for STD, and I'm Dutch, so I guess that I won't use that abbreviation a lot. But I can just say Sons of Admirals instead of SOA and then it'll be fine.

    Keep up the good work :)

  • Sophie

    They all are!

  • S_i_M12

    It's amazing, I love how you re-did the song to keep it the same yet different, which makes no sense… but hopefully you'll understand :D I hope you can all keep working together, both separately and collaboratively to make more fantastic music :)
    Thank you
    Saskia

  • Nadja

    Thoose are some beautifull friends you have(the two girls) I really liked it ;D

  • Alma

    loved it, though it's stuck on my brain now ): your humour was a important part of the music video (at least that was what I thought) and, yeah, keep up the good work!

  • taylah-louise_x

    charlie,
    why are you so coollike?
    have this song on repeat, very cute haha
    i want your songs on itunes, please!

  • Chris_ckystar

    Hi, Charlie
    I think that you have talent.
    Your songs are great and most importantly they make feel a sense of relax,comfort and hapiness
    All the way !!!

  • Primrose-maiden

    It's a good song, and I like the video you made. Though I had to think twice about the SOA part. Basically because I'm Dutch and SOA is what we use for STD. Other than that it is funny and well made. And it's stuck in my head…

  • Vilde :D

    Please come to Kristiansand! :D

  • Pratibha

    that was just amazing!
    please keep making more songs!
    you guys did a great job!

  • Chris_ckystar

    Hi Charlie, I forgot to introduce myself to you.
    I come from Singapore .
    N this was my first time watching your videos.
    Hope that you can make lots of videos in future.
    You are great and I like your character!!

  • Abigailr84

    At first I was a little disappointed…it seemed like the sum total of the four of you together wasn't equal to the awesomeness you each have separately. But now that I've seen Tom's video, I realize all the work you had to put in to make a song that sounds so polished- impressive! Looking forward to more!
    And add me to the list that would like to hear a mix that's a little heavier on the vocals and lighter on the drums/electronicy stuff.

  • M.oneno

    @Chris_ckystar
    Hey I'm from sg too.
    I'm sure you're staying for more videos
    Charlie is really nice.

  • Roisin Mauve

    I'm not an expert but here we go.
    I like the creative thought behind the video. The photo frame part at the start is lovely. I think it needs a better ending though. As for the song, well not the best I've heard from any of the artists involved. Also, risky covering an artist like Cat Stevens.

    Not bad though! Keep up the hard work and effort.
    Roisin
    ;D

  • http://soldansbarn.blogspot.com Rebecka

    hi!
    your friends seem awesome!
    and i think that you are all good actors and artists. and you Charlie, has a beautiful smile.
    and i like the song!
    good job.

    hugs from Rebecka in Sweden

  • ej

    seeing all of you doing all of that looks somehow new and weird…. but im really excited for ALL FOUR of YOU! I'll be your supporter from start to end. that's a promise :D

  • http://twitter.com/franm_m Fran

    Usually I LOVE! your music and videos (I mean it) but this time I think you could do it better, the truth is that I don't really like it (realize that is hard to me to say that I don't like one of your videos)

  • Abirocks2000

    Hello Charlie. Awesome song. You guys thinking of touring? That would be aweesome. And if you ever need a support group. My group could do that we're called believe it or not. We're on facebook. Hook us up? Peace out. Abby

  • virgi511

    i did actually really liked it! its much more modern than the cat stevens version! catchy. love it.

  • http://twitter.com/Simetra Cynthia

    I've been watching/listening to all four of you for quite some time, and honestly, it's sub-par from anything I'd expect from you individually. It's difficult to achieve something good when everyone is the lead. I didn't feel that you brought anything new to the song–just a more polished version of The Tremeloes cover but with less spirit and enthusiasm. I still enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to what you guys come up with in the future. I love all you guys, and I'm just trying to give some constructive criticism. I think you tried to balance so much (editing, story, music, vocals) that it just came out bland and average.

  • http://twitter.com/Simetra Cynthia

    Oops, double post.

  • thefrozenfirefly

    That was pretty awesome :)
    First of all, I'm a big fan of Cat Stevens, so this was a good pick in my opinion.
    And I loved the photo frame part at the beginning.
    It was a very .. modern? recreation of the song, but a great one :)

  • stéphanie

    j'adore! :-)

  • TrockChickHelen

    Damn you guys, I can't stop singing this!! (That's a positive comment, by the way :p) The idea of SOA touring is VEEEEERY exciting.

  • Ind-

    I liked that video it was really good because it was very well edit and you all can act well : ) but the music was little bit weird and I didn't like it much because I don't like that kind of music ( but the lyrics were nice ).

  • Meike

    Hahaha you know what SOA stands for in Dutch xD? Sexually transmitted disease! Anyway, great song!

  • Anouk

    Hahaha… Just like Meike commented… If you're ever planning on promoting the song in Holland, I wouldn't go SOA for short…

  • Kayte

    sorry I just HAVE to know….do you dye your hair or is it just naturally that red?!

  • jessicaisbored

    I like the way that sounds! Very brilliant :) and GREAT directing skillz! haha! I'm really excited to hear more songs from you guys! and what was that Solo Album that you were supposed to be doing? Because both you and Alex were talking about that in at least one video? Because Alex mentioned that you “couldn't move in right now because Charlie's still working on his solo album in Bath.”

  • jessicaisbored

    he dyed it in one of his challenge charlie videos!

  • http://twitter.com/missnerdfighter Keely Jacobi

    You can tell by the colour of someone's eyebrows.

  • Joe

    Not all the time. My eyebrows are jet black and my hair is brown and I havent dyed it

  • SheltieMom

    Great remake of this classic song!

  • beckyboo

    he dyed it- and made a YouTube vid about it.

  • Kelli

    I LOVE this song, I've never heard anything like it. Plus, all of you can sing and act superbly, which doesn't really hurt either :D I look forward to hearing more from Sons of Admirals!

  • Beckyboo

    This song has been stuck in my head since yesterday when I watched it XD- brilliant! Did you use your own recording equipment or a recording studio? Cos I really want to start recording stuff for YouTube.

    PS have the T-shirts been shipped off yet?

  • Solene D

    This song has been stocked in my head since Ive listen to it for the first time, which was yesterday! Its really catchy ;)

  • Abigailr84

    It's as if the sum is less than the total of the parts, isn't it? At least, that's how I felt. Have you seen Tom's video? It helps to show all that went into making this song.

  • Tenatopps

    you guys are so awesome ! all your projects charlie have made me stop sulking around and actually do stuff !! i can't sing or play an instrument, a worthwhile one at least (clarinet..), but i now have a list of awesome things i need to do by the end of summer to measure up to your ridiculously fantastic projects. Wish me luck.

    Also, I love your face.

    I'm absolutely in love with your cover of “Here Comes My Baby”, and I love your face, you're so cute!

  • Pallzc

    Charlie! What can I say? You are just too awesome for words. A bit too thin but ssly awesome. This is good but I've got to say you are wrong. This is not more professional than ur other videos. True that ur other videos were all shot indoors and just had you in them but the editing and the sfx was amazing. You're horribly creative and talented. And I'm one heck of a jealous fan. Keep up the superb work. And eat more.

  • lemur

    you are so positive and amusing and every time you do something i'm amazed again. keep up the good work :)

  • Nickerbocker_Glory

    Something new, differnent, a little bit weird and generally all around AMAZING! I love it, especially the video.

  • Lindsey

    Hahaha who broke your heart Charlie? You seem to be against relationships, and your portrayal of girls in the video were very flighty and bitchy. :)

  • Edit 97

    I think it's really cool of you to dare this, I think it's kinda bad that both you, Alex and Tom uploaded videos telling us about this. Three videos in like two days of this makes it a bit too much, or well at least not as interesting as it would be with maybe one. I know that you wanna reach as many as possible, but this gets a bit repeated, as you only have one song and not so much to tell.
    Love the video though, all of you are really good singers! I think you gave the song a lift and a happy touch on it :D

  • Avarice

    In all fairness, some people can eat a heap load of food but still turn out really skinny. That was the case of a friend of mine but now all that… eating… has caught up with her, on saying that she’s still far from fat, but not as stick thin as she used to be either, which is awesome. Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is, rather than how much a person eats, their weight is probably more affected by what kinds of foods they eat, and what kinds of fat etc are in those foods.

    And yes, I’m also a “jealous” fan. Jealous of these guys’ talents anyway… *sigh*

  • Carys

    I loved it, it was catchy. Loved the musicianship bond thing going on between you guys.

    So, Emma and Gryff, which one was your favourite, hmm?

  • Sharoncurtis

    Hi boys….want to let y'all know I graduated in '66 in Virginia, USA. I remember this so song the first time around. Compare and contrast….you boys are better. Love the turquoise hair. Been buzzing all my old mates about you. Yes…we all turn 62 this summer. And, I am doing a lovely streak of turquoise after seeing this. Love this video…just makes me dance! Stay happy….your friend in Tucson, Arizona USA

    By the way: Wow, Tom can play a lot of instruments!!

  • Laura

    Woooow Charlie you are amazing and totally cuuute… I love your vids

    That song made absolutely no sense. But good try.

  • Zoethesquirrel

    Charlie,
    I was watching this and it just sort of struck me that you didn't “lip sing” at all. A little cheating going on in your video too eh? So now your a pimp. Haha.

    Thanks for amusing me once again,
    Zoe

  • Haley

    are there bloopers?

  • Jessie

    i love how you are all so colorful! red hair, blue hair, turquoise pants..it's great lol
    the song is cool! can't wait to see/hear more!

  • Jen

    CHARLIE! i went on itunes to buy this song and i noticed something….WHY DONT YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SONGS THERE?!? i am hurt that i cannot listen to your music every where i go :(

  • Olivia

    this song was in my head throughout my entire 2 hour exam! i like it though :)

  • http://fromthepagesofmyheart.blogspot.com Jessica

    That was great! Good job! I loved the picture frame moments at the beginning, that was awesome!

  • Madeline Catlin

    Jen, Chameleon Circuit's album is on iTunes. He sings quite a bit on there. If you're a Who-fan, you'll like that.

  • Tamara

    i thought the video was genius!
    and i actually can't stop listening to that version :P

  • Lisandra

    “Here comes my baby” part is really catchy. I enjoy listening to this song.

  • Emily

    Cant wait to hear more! :)

  • Gabi

    i love it! i agree it's really catchy and now i probably won'y get it out of my head for a while :) which i'm good with XD i think you're all really great and you should definitely carry on with this – i love your voice charlie and i just think that you guys have done really well and you could all go really far with this :D <3 xx

  • Amandabee

    absolutley loved it lol :D
    was shocked to see u were one of the people doing the cheating :O ^_^
    the video was very funny and the song was great when is the next SOA song comin out ??

  • Amandabee

    btw did u now that when u go to buy the Chameleon Circuit album on iTunes it says the genre is rock not trock O_O

  • Miranda :)

    I bought it yesterday and I couldn't get it out of my head all day! My friend got so annoyed with me because I was constantly singing it and…Well, let's just say I'm not the best of singers. ;) But I absolutely adore this songg! <3 I love the music video. I love how three of you are in Chameleon Circuit, so I'm already pretty much in love with your voices. ;) Sons of Admiral is really great! I can't wait for the next song!

  • Niekeeeee

    i really really really like your song, but…

    you call yourself SOA, SOA means STD here in holland, so if you don't wanna be known as a sexually transmitted disease, you might think of changing your name a litle…

    i'm sorry for the bad english, but, as i mentioned, i'm dutch, so i can't do anything about it…

  • Kenzie

    I absolutely love this song and the music video!!! Yall are great :)
    p.s. I just bought the song on iTunes! :)

  • Alice.

    When it fades into you with your hands up and mouth open at the end of the song you look just like a weeping angel. It's uncanny (and quite scary) :)

    I LOVED it! It's a cute song and all and sung by great people! Keep up with your music! :)

  • http://twitter.com/Leen_chan_ Adrianna Śniadek

    I really enjoyed the song. You four sound great together, as well as on your own. And I really like the “oh he stole my gf!” concept. The music itself is pretty good (although sometimes the vocal seems a little bit too quiet compared to music) and I must say, the whole thing is kind of cute :D I'm looking forward to other Sons of Admirals productions and I'm sure that one day I will walk up to my music store and I will see your future CD on best seller list :D You're good at making music, so please never give it up!

  • Silverwing1616

    Really nice blend of voices and you're all good on your own as well…a rare find in a band. Can't wait to see more from you guys!

  • Steiner4family

    Thought the video was very clever. Great young talent. Not what I hear everyday – that is a good thing! Not sure how the heck I found it. I was trying to find “good” music for my teenage daughter and your song came up on youtube. Well done young man – I'll look forward to keeping an eye out for you in America.

  • EmmeyBob

    Dear Charlie,
    That song is so insanely awesome and the video made me laugh so much, especially that bit with Tom at the end! Alex, Eddplant and Tom were all brilliant! I can't wait to hear more from you four! :)

    WE ARE WAITING FOR THE NEXT SONG !!

    XXXXX

  • Trevor_abby

    I love the song. After I listened to it I had it stuck in my head all day, but in the good way. I think the music video was pretty awesome as well. I can't wait to hear what else you guys come up with. Love you, Charlie!

    -Abby :D

  • Valerie

    Well, I only like watching YOU, but anyway the video it's great ( :

    i really like this remake, it's so cute compared to the original :)

  • Bridgetnrudy12

    whoever you guys are… i really liked the song…and your accents. the dude with the pink hair is SUPER cute!!!!! but you need 2 consider a more natural looking hair color

  • Quiethope

    I hope one day I run into you on a crowded street and we can walk in nice weather talking of Pixar, Darwin, theatre, shy tendencies, and the silly, ironic aspects of life.

    Until then, I'll happily wait for that fine weather =)

  • thegirlwiththebooks

    This song is addictive. I have listened to it at least twenty times now! And the music video is adorable! This is definitely going on my favorites play list. I can't wait for more music by you guys to come out!!

  • nerdwannabe

    heyyyy! the whole story is really interesting and different and the lyrics and music video are cool (: people are gonna kill me for this, but one honest critique is that perhaps, if you guys kept it a little simpler, by not having too many background music/ enhancements at the same time, it would have been better? that's just MY very very very very humble comment, i may very well be wrong! but overall, it's totally good!! (:

  • nerdwannabe

    i listened to the song again and i realise, I AM COMPLETELY WRONG. the arrangement and extra effects totally fit! so please, do ignore that comment (: sorry >:

  • mayita9189

    Actually, it's not pink hair..it's red hair :) and that guy is the one and only Charlie. Yes! this is his blog.. :)

    i LOVE the beginning beat, it's so fresh! The background vocals are really impressive, they harmonize quite well with the lead vocals, sounds even better than Cat Stevens originally intended I'll bet! Oh and the video concept is brilliant. I love how the lyrics and vocalist match perfectly with the plot of the story and it is edited right on point. Great job, can't wait to see more of SOA!!!!

  • Sharon

    great haromiies…try your hand at the classics…Everyly Brothers..Buddy Holly….

    Hahaha nice Kelli… it took a second for me to get it but the capitalization helped me.
    Charlie thanks for adding to the community of good looking red heads…you're awesome and the song is epicly amazing.

    I like the last comment! “You have one of the least subtly taste in jewlery i have ever seen in a women! lol :P

  • Dusty_lynn

    Kodos to everyone involved in the remaking of this song and in the video. It is thoroughly entertaining. I really think that if you guys work hard at this you could really make a living off of your music.

    Lots of talent in that video!!

  • Lara

    That was a song that sounds like it belonged on a hit Mcfly albumn!!!! Wonderful. Simply Wonderful!

  • Ema

    why did you call your band “sons of admirals”?

  • http://twitter.com/AndLeyton Andres Leyton

    Hey, I wanted to say that although the music, video production and editing are great I feel as if the point of the band was to bring your solo talents together then this wasn't it. Don't get me wrong I really like the music you make but if your goal was to combine your talents then an original song would be the way to go, this would show all your true talents as composers and musicians combined into what very possibly could be a GREAT song. Hope you take this in consideration.

  • Kristiina1099

    Does Charlie look a bit unhealthy? He is so skinny and his poise isnt very good. He should start exercising. I would love to see him fit and muscly. Also, it would help him to build up his self-confidence. IN fact it would be a perfect challenge.

    SO CHARLIE, I WILL CHALLENGE YOU TO GET FIT. I wanna see your abdominal muscles. If you like my challenge guys, vote it up please. Maybe Charlie will notice it then :).

  • AvalovesSOA

    I love your whole group of friends. I watched you, then Alex, then Tom the Ed. Your all so dang attractive! Much love to you and luck to SOA! It's been stuck in my head since it has been released! It's most listened to on my iPod. Love you so effin much! Can I marry one of you?

  • shadow

    awesome song …. i love the video too ;)))

  • Abigailr84

    Like…not because I think Charlie looks unhealthy and he needs the confidence boost, but because fit and muscly would be even more awesome!

    *claps* I admit it didn't sound like anything to my tastee to start with, but it sort of grew on me as the song got further on :D I love the way it's not just all of you singing at the same time, or only one of you singing. I love how you've captured the feeling and everything, and it was prettyfunny as well, which I see as a good thing, because I like it when music videos capture the personality of the person behind it-funny :D well done, as usual *claps again*

    Dear Charlie,
    I loved your band's cover version of that song. I thought the vocal harmonies were great, and I liked the countermelody in the background. The whole story that went along with it was funny too. And, for those obsessive compulsive people like me that always watch right until the very end of movies and videos (including the credits) – Tom's little blurb about having the least subtle taste in jewellery – an hilarious insult! I would like to hear more!

    I LOVE the ending :) its funny, whitty, brilliant, love it.

  • meimei

    This song is already #10 on my Top 25 Most Played list in iTunes. Basically, I have totally fallen in love with this song. Love love love the music video plot! Well done!

  • kong

    the video's good, but the way to improve is watch films, read about films, and most importantly make more films. If you're concentrating on the music then I guess the videos will never be great, but they're fun to make. Oh and, as someone else said, watch Harold and Maude. Cat Stevens rules!

  • CatherineDopamine

    This is really good considering its so.. relaxed. I'm absolutely in love with the song, its stuck in my head!
    You guys are great, I can't wait to hear more- oh, and while I'm at it- I demand more Doctor Who!

    i thought it was brilliant for your first legit music video! i loved how everyone intertwined with one another just going back and forth. a band that actually uses all of its musicians voices on a single track how incredibly amazing is that! i loved that everyone was able to showcase their own talent and it wasn't simply one dominant voice, everyone was incorporated and had equal “camera time”. i loved it charlie, i see big things for this band, keep up the amazing work!!

  • ebonygenine

    SOA means in dutch:
    Seksueel Ovedraagbare Aandoening.

    Literally translated:
    Sexual transmissible disease.

    (Diseases like AIDS,Syphilis,Chlamydia infection.)
    Well, you know what i mean.
    So… maybe an other name? XD Or don't short it as SOA.

  • randomgalxxx

    yayyyyy a brand new band and a brand new song!!!!! :D :D :D I am so excited!!!!!!! ooh I hope you do go on tour!!!!! I can't wait to hear more new stuff :) :)

    I love how you all have cheesy grins at the beginning ^_^ also, watch out charlie – tom's hair is almost as cool as yours! :O heehee 'you have one of the least subtle tastes in jewellery I have ever seen in a woman!' xD

    I'm really glad that chameleon circuit is still happening, because although sons of admiral are good, there's nothing like a bit of trock :) also, I think I prefer your solo songs a tiny bit more (please don't kill me alex). overall, three thumbs up :)

    charlie, its request time! : please could you design another t-shirt? :) please could you give your opinions on the world cup? and please could you do something about doctor who again (sorry doctor-who-dislikers) because its going to be the final episode next week :O? please :)

    I'm rather beginning to less-than-three you charlie :)

    awesome song Charlie!

    i have become a fan of Sons of Admirals :) and i hope there are some more songs/music video’s coming soon! and can we challenge you here or does it have to posted on a different page?…just checking.

    Oh! and i heard you were starting a clothing line or something and it stopped?…i was hoping i could purchase one if there are any more. Just let me know! :)

    More songs from you please! <3

  • Kristiina1099

    Implicitlydandy, dont get me wrong. Im big fan of Charlie. He is my favorite youtuber. But im not gonna be dishonest. He is very handsome, but also quite unfit. He has said it himself several times. As british say – healthy mind in healthy body (in Charlie's case also good teeth, which is very unbritish :)). His vlogs are brilliant, but i believe physical fitness would give him ability to improve and diversify his vlogs even further. Just think about it. Fit and muscly Charlie, with all of his brilliant and irresistible charlieness. I think universe would explode. Well, figuratively speaking :). Its like a missing element, a last component what is needed to become an avatar (cartoon, not avatar movie :)) in showbiz. Well, atleast youtube. Yes, i know i have vivid fantasy. But i strongly belive fitness would really benefit him, he would blossom like a beautiful sunflower. And i really really wanna see his bellymuscles in action:).

  • caturday

    i am sorry, but i think you're wrong and i can't see the point in this. i don't think that this is about anyones physical fitness or bellymuscles at all. it's about music (talking about the music vid?) and i don't think you need to change just because you want to get famous or anything. people should accept and love you the way you are and not because you're hot or fit.

  • Shirin

    u should challenge him 2 bcome more fit 4 challenge charlie! ACTUALLY IMA DO THAT DONT STEAL!!

  • Shirin

    I CHALLENGE U TO BECOME MORE FIT AND MUSCULAR!

  • charlie made me love Dr.Who

  • still not queen

    I liked what you did with the song, but you guys usually sound better. I mean, your voices sounded somewhat less-than. On an unrelated note, I got wine gums today and out of the entire big box there were only seven black wine gums and eight green. Anyway, thank you for introducing me to both wine gums and Doctor Who :D

Keep being awesome! oh and i noticed some earlier comments, don't worry about being “unfit” if you want to change it, you can, if not, then don't. Honestly, i like you just the way you are now. Plus, you look incredibly huggable and i think muscles would be too intimidating. just sayin. luv ya!

  • http://twitter.com/BrilliantBeat Siobhan

    that song and video is fabulous. i love it and its been stuck in my head for the past week! keep it up!

  • Emmalee

    Out of everything you could have commented on about this video, you decided to talk about Charlie apparently being unfit? Really?

    I have to second caturday's opinion.
    He looks quite brilliant just the way he is.
    And how exactly would physical fitness give him the ability to diversify and improve his vlogs?
    Aside from attracting flocks of females that is?

  • http://twitter.com/Myflashlight Emmalee Miller

    I definately like the song. I've never heard the original version, but I thought you guys did quite splendidly. However, it has been stuck in my head for the past few days, I keep finding myself singing it randomly. I've gotten a few odd looks in my Biology class because of it.

    And the video looks more professional than your usual videos.
    But I do like the fact that while it's more professional than your usual videos, it's also still amateurish, so it feels more authentic…there's more heart to it.

    I'm definately looking forward to the next song you guys come out with.

  • Bree

    This was beyond awesome. I loved the song, and the video was really well done. I can't wait to hear more from you guys. :)

  • Ellie

    I loved it! You guys are so cute :)

  • Kristiina1099

    I already challenged him to get fit quite a few times. Check my comment belove in this blog comments, i made it few days ago. It has 28 likes right now :). Go vote it up. Its best and healthiest challenge for Charlie so far i think :). I mean, eating ketchup and fish custard? Lets stop these animal testing challenges and come up with ones that actually benefit Charlie.

  • Kristiina1099

    This music video and this challenge idea are directly linked. In his vlogs we usually see only his angelic face, but this time we saw his full body (''omg Charlie has legs'' – that was someone's comment, i liked :)). He has nice body, good bonestructure (anatomy lessons flashbacks ftw :)), but clearly no visible signs of exercising. Yes, people should accept and love people the way they are, but they also shouldnt be afraid to criticize or give advice if its needed. I get suggestions from friends and familymembers all the time. Sometimes i dont like it, but i know their intentions are good. Im trying to be positive here. I just want what is best for Charlie (or every person in fact) – good physical shape. Exercising is good for your health, dont you agree? Yes, i want to see fitter Charlie. I dont see nothing wrong about that wish.

  • Kristiina1099

    Attracting flocks of females is only byproduct. Fitness gives to person self-confidence and raises his self-esteem. One of my friend who was overweight found his way to gym and is now completely different person. He was very self-critical, but now he is comfortable with himself. Im not saying its so in Charlie's case, however i believe this example generally applies to everyone. I think getting fit would be very positive for him. How would it diversify and improve his vlogs? I dont know, use your imagination. More physical comedy sketches, exercising videos, dance routines (''hips dont lie'' cover :)), advertising swim shorts, appearing in playgirl? There are literally countless possibilities. Also read my reply to caturday's comment.

  • Smetch93

    Since when are comments about a video suppose to be criticising someone's physical appearance? Personally I am scared of muscular people and Charlie you have a very good body. And by the way people, he's not unfit. There is a big difference between being freakishly muscular and being toned. But since this is a response to a video I believe that is all on that matter.

    It's an amazing video Charlie! Sons Of Admirals was a brilliant idea! xo

  • trf

    i definitely agree, the song was brilliant there's no reason to go on about his appearance,
    and even if you were to talk about his appearance, he's gorgeous.

  • Smetch93

    yes he is gorgeous :)

  • Katt

    How is he unfit? I know so many guys that look pretty much of the same build?!
    BTW, nice stereotype about British teeth, last time I checked, mine were pretty good…

  • however87

    Since I found this page by a funny accident, I don't really know who you are and what you're doing. But as a neutral person I have to say that THIS was a great job! I'm sure you heard that a lot, but you guys are really talanted! ;)
    I also liked the video, this kind of story is a nice idea!
    So all in all, great job! Thumbs up!
    Lovely greetings from Germany! :o)

    P.S. nice Irish accent! ;)

  • CapitaineJolie

    Weirdly, Charlie is near-criminally English. :P
    Definitely keep coming back to this page, though–Charlie and the SOA are all really talented (and adorable).

  • Kaaat

    Really great! I thought the directing was pretty amazing when you (probably) don't have majorly expensive high-tech directing equipment. Job well done.
    I thought the music was good, but I think that the beat was a bit heavy and over-whelming for the voices.

    Nice science shirt…I have one that says 'I <3 Darwin' LOL.

    Keep up the good work!

  • however87

    But he sounds Irish! That's weird… xD

  • C is for COOKIE

    I really, really, REALLY liked this. Thanks so much for making it so great! (:
    It's funny, because I actually “discovered” Tom Milson last year when I was doing a project on left-handedness. I was on his parents' websites and they'd always have links to him and stuff. And I just started watching Charlie's video's this year, and when I saw that he and Tom were friends, I was like “Wow!

    Heh, awesome music video! The song is great, and I thought the video itself did a great job of both telling a story and being fun to watch: I actually found it quite humerous (especially your expression when her & Tom caught ya cheating)! ^_^

    Uh, I hope that was the idea. o_O

    Anyhow, I hope you make more like it, and I wanna see where this band/project/collaborative thingie goes, and if it turns out well, I'm so hiring you guys for gigs, or something!

  • tutka =)

    i love it i love it! you guys are great :)

  • kckthenerdiest

    For some reason, I feel the need to tell you that I had this amazing dream that you and I were in California (same place, same exact time, miraculously) and you gave me flowers, a Cinderella bracelet, and a pin that said “I cuddled with Charlie.” But it wasn't until you gave me the pin that I realized it was actually you, and then you kind of freaked out that I had figured out you were practically famous. After that, things just got weird… it was like all of a sudden it mixed with the little mermaid and you were the prince and I was Ariel and then Ursula tried to kill us both. It was quite an adventure and it felt really real until my mom put my dog on my bed and she woke me up. I know this has nothing to do with the new band or song (which I love by the way!), but I just felt the random need to tell you this in the hopes that maybe you'll say something about it in a video of yours sometime in the future… but don't feel like you have to. I don't want you to just make some video about how you felt bad and had to make a video about me. Okay, I'll stop my dorky rambling and get on with life. –Casey

  • lizzyp

    WELL DONE. :D
    I used to love this song, and now you all have made it catchy and into an enjoyable music video, and that means I love it again!
    I just have to add that Charlie, I can't help but realize that you look like Superman in the shot up there. There's just something about your facial expression and the way your head is. It makes me laugh a bit every time i see it.
    OH! And the bit where Alex holds up the photo and then it turns into what's actually happening is brilliant. :D

  • HelenLovesSonsOfAdmirals!

    This is awesome! i've just bought this on itunes because i love it so much!
    your band will definitely go FAR!
    well i hope it does :)
    i wish you all the best luck you can have.

  • *~Sophie~*

    wow love the new band, and the song too! I'm officially gonna call you guys hexanericoolplant!! :D

    Good luck with the band, and I hope it all goes well! ~Bye!

  • amexred

    I got the song just to support your collaboration. It is very catchy and the video is fun and campy in a way. Back to the song, I wasn't to keen on the heavy sounding beat that's used in the beginning and throughout but the overall song is just to catchy to allow that minor quibble bring it down. Good work.

  • lucyjaylovescharliemecxx

    i love you:). ordered your tshirt in may, when should it come:(? and i love here comes my baby, the guy with blue hair looks super cute when he starts speaking to that girl and that guy with black hair seems nice:). i adore you and alex day though <3 <3 <3.

  • http://untypicalities.blogspot.com/ Jamesd-b

    I think the song is amazing – and well done on getting this far in the music industry! But I think the only problem is that the song if downloaded music only (IE no video) the song would be less fun and less understandable. But however still enjoyable – but maybe less so.

    I'd be happy for you to follow this up – just look my blog up and contact me there

    Many thanks

  • Nina

    hellooow Charlie!
    I really really like the haircollor your friend Tom has. Blue! I love it!
    So much, I'm going to do the same.
    But for a few days, not more, cause I think my mom would not like it when I do it longer. :P
    So, I'm going to dying my hair blue, and my friend is going to die her hair purple.
    I'm looking forward of it.
    Btw, about the video.
    I LIKE IT SOOO MUCH!
    I really love it. I really really love it.
    This song is soo nice. And the clip too!
    You've done such a great job.

    a thought to describe is sometimes something difficult.
    (-actually if you aren't so good in english because you normally speak german )
    But i will try it nevertheless:
    Honestly Charlie, i think you're & your friends ideas of making videos is something fantastic BUT i really hope, all this population, you have now, won't change you.
    Because you never know what showbiz is doing with you (:
    so watch out ( from the showbiz . eh sounds very stupid i think ?! ^,^) but you know what i mean.
    So young crazy boy, hope you'll be forever a REAL charlie.

  • barryearle

    1) Don't over produce your sound. The rawness is part of its charm.
    2) Don't let “them” smooth our your unique perspective.
    3) Give credit to the song writers. If I'm not mistaken, Cat Stevens wrote Here Comes My Baby.
    4) Get “A Song About Love” and “A Song About Acne” onto iTunes library so I can buy them.

    You are very talented with a great sense of human and charming personality. I hope you go far…and survive the journey.

    He’s not unfit though.
    The only thing you seem to be complaining about is that he doesn’t have enough muscles.
    Him not having enough muscles for you doesn’t make him unfit.

    Secondly, how do you know that he’s not overflowing with self-confidence/self-esteem?
    Obviously, I can’t speak for that and neither can you.

    And he could do ‘more physical comedy sketches, exercising videos, dance routines, advertise swim shorts, and appear in playgirl’ without buffing up.

  • still not queen

    Charlie, I noticed a few people were commenting on your not being fit! Of all the things they could have commented on. Anyway, I just wanted to throw it out there that your body type is lovely. The thought of you beng muscle-y is really unappealing 0.o

  • Kamukissa

    I just thought to mention that this song has been going around and around in my head for the past week CONTINUOSLY! It is so far the best I've seen on Youtube and I am looking forward to more songs from the Sons of Admirals! Oh, and I'm so clad that I did discover all of the band members, because frankly, everyone is so perfect! So thank you!

  • LeMouton03

    Charlie, thought the music video was great! The song is pretty sweet too. The only complaint that I have is that your background percussion sounds like it's getting distorted on my laptop speakers, but I plugged it into my stereo afterward to see if that was intended and not just a hardware shortcoming and it turns out it was just a stylistic choice. It's good, but can be confusing for those not expecting it :P You all have great voices and are a good-looking band as well!

    I really love the song and the whole idea of the video. I think i have watched the music video over 10 times, and i watch your videos almost once a week. I have a final in two days and look at what i am doing instead, watching you! (but not like that…) Anywho, i challange you to saying yes to every question someone asks you and then telling us what the question was, and what you ended up having to do/answer etc. because of saying yes to the question…
    Have fun…and keep making videos please…because if you stop i might actually have to study O.o

  • meg5700

    I really really like it! ^^ At first i thought oh? But when I heard it then I thought ahh, that sounds good. So after the 5 time I couldn't stop hear it. xD So it's really really gooood! :b Great song and a great band. Keep doing what you guys are doing. :D

    The video was well produced, but if you want to be taken seriously as a band you need to be singing your own material rather than covering other singers.

    I fell in love with this video the first time I saw it but… Charlie, you said you couldn't get a date, and now you have two?? OMG, you lied to me!!! :O Just kidding… Guys, you're AWESOME!! You totally should do more songs, yours or covers… I don't care ;) I think Emma in this video looks kinda slutty, althought I think she made a great robot in “The time of your life”. The part I got from this is that she lied you but you're very good friends and realized that she and the other girl were trying to separate you… :| I don't know if that made any sense… ¬¬ So Charlie, you know my opinion :)

    Lots and lots of love from a big fan in Argentina :)

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/FPVY6H3XBMD2P2KAEWBAPO3TCI mons

    Charlie, I'm sorry, but the video sucks. The message it sends is “Bros before hos” essentially, and reduces women to completely irrelevant beings, because it takes the guys about five seconds to realize they're arguing over something completely irrelevant. Are women irrelevant in your world? That's the message this video sends, and that sucks.

  • http://twitter.com/Myflashlight Emmalee Miller

    How would that reduce women to being completely irrelevant beings?
    Yes, it does have the whole 'bros before hoes' mentality.
    But I don't get how that would lead you to come to your conclusion.

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/FPVY6H3XBMD2P2KAEWBAPO3TCI mons

    Irrelevant, because ultimately the girls are not important for the boys' relationship. They can just walk away from them, as if nothing happened, while the girls are left arguing. So girls think boys are relevant enough to argue over, but boys don't feel the same about girls. They smile at each other sheepishly (oh, gosh, how silly of us to argue over such an insignificant thing), shake hands and walk away.

  • imagine

    I think that you forgot the fact that both these girls appeared to be cheating on the guys who loved them, and the guys decided that, instead of fighting amongst themselves about which guy deserved which girl, they realized that their friendship was worth more than a couple of unfaithful girls.

    At least, that's what I got from it :] Loved the work, guys!

  • Eir

    The guys also cheated on the girls.

  • http://twitter.com/Myflashlight Emmalee Miller

    Yeah, but the girls were cheating on them.
    Admittedly some of the guys were as well.

    Well if you and your best girl friend both liked the same guy and he was going after both of you, would you guys ruin or temporarily ruin your friendship over some guy that you would probably only date for a few months at the most? In the video, they didn't.
    And personally I'd kick the guys butt to the curb.

    I mean yes, they conclude that those two girls just simply aren't worth it.
    One could go far as to say that they become 'irrelevant.'
    That however doesn't mean that they think all women are irrelevant.
    And one definately couldn't take it as far as claiming that Charlie thinks that women are irrelevant, as you just implied.

    I would rethink the points to your argument, they seem (to me), to be a bit flawed.
    No offense.

  • Effie

    Is there any chance that any one of you could PLEASE put the song on your website not in video format because while I'm stuck at school with no money to buy the song i'm unable to listen to it because my school blocks videos :(
    As this song is wonderful it is always stuck in my head & I would love to listen to it… lots. As would my friend Fiona who says: “PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE”

    Effie xx

  • mee

    I thing that comment is wrong, it's a song and a vidio, get over it. girls discriminate boys as well. and at times even themselves, as a girl i would know this, there are sooo many vidios in the world and i guarnty that there is one thing in all of them that could effend people, and it's true at charlies age you should stick with your friends, i would know, friends are more important then crushes at charlie's age, don't take it to affence. this vidio is cool and im sure many people agree with me, but i respect that that is ur opinion and it's good to have one, there are soooo many more important problems in the world there is no point in trying to look for them in things like this, it's a vidio! again don't take it in offence.

  • Kristiina1099

    Its quite hard to finish a relationship politically correct manner if song lasts only 3 min. The lyrics of the song and band setup pretty much dictated this 'bros before hos plot'. Charlie can be quite naughty sometimes. So maybe he gave intentionally this a bit gayish bros before hos innuendo to his video. Also to be objective here, im confident that lots of guys (i dont know about Alex, Ed and Tom) would prefer Charlie over those girls. I mean Charlie is too pretty to be a guy :).

    Anyway I have to say, you sound so 80s with your woman rights rhetoric. Are women irrelevant in his world? If you were in his shoes and you had thousands of druling fanboys chasing after you, wouldnt it impact your opinion on opposite sex? Probably not in a positive way. Its a sad reality. Actually its a very interesting question, but for different reason ;). Although Charlie has repeatedly stated that he is completely and utterly straight, he has not had a true girlfriend. Visibly at least. Maybe he keeps girlfriend in a secret, cause he doesnt want to discourage his teenage girls fanbase? Maybe he prefers casual sex, charlie randomness? ;). Or maybe he prefers Super Mario Galaxy 2? :(

    I would really like to know answer to this question.

  • imagine

    True! Realized that after I had already posted the comment xD

    But Emmalee definitely put what I was trying to say into better words.

    Ok, so this is my opinion and i'm really sorry if it offends you…
    I thought it was gayish…
    Don't get me wrong .. i liked the song .. and the story and all .. but …
    The way you acted was … well .. gayish…
    The way you walk .. the way you hugged that girl …
    If you will accept the challenge that “Kristiina1099 ” proposed
    Your gonna look great…

    I loved the video and the song! My friend and I started singing it when we were in the car randomly, we completely love this song!

  • Sierra

    So I admit that I watched this video about 4 times in a row, because Tom was in it. But now I've been looking at the other people in the band and I have officially decided that you are amazing. I enjoy all your songs and I love the melodica. I'm so excited for Sons of Admirals to record more songs because you guys together are brilliant. :D

  • Sharebear6641

    I LOVED your video and I would love to see more. You all are great singers and very good at putting an entertaining music video together.

  • Jmhathaway

    just bought the song on itunes! i love it :)

  • Electricpink

    I can't wait to hear more from you guys!
    My only suggestion is to have [since there are so many of you] more background voices so that you guys don't have to always trade a solo part-i think that would sound cool.
    but really i don't know what i am saying since i haven't heard the kind of sound im thinking about before to use as an example. i guess guys just have to try out new things and learn through trial and error.

Each of you can have their own personalities depending on the hair color you each have. and through out those videos, you can see the personalities.

    by the way, the video, came out really good. well made.

  • Nic Inc

    The sound in the beginning reminds me of “Pitchfork” – definitely! Know them? :-)

  • Norwegian girl

    Tom's voice in this song is so sweet <3 I'm totally in love with it! <3 And you too, Charlie! The one thing I can't seem to forget is the look on your face when you start to sing “here comes my baby”.. Oh, I love that! This song is so cool, and you guys made a really good cover of it.

  • Katie

    I really liked the hair! and the girls' outfits were very cute, I have to say. (: I thought that the video was very clever! keep on making music Charlie! :D

  • Brian

    Great Cover of Here Comes My Baby by Tremeloes I loved that you guys each shared the lead vocals and sang part of lyrics of the song! It gives the song a whole new dimension and vocal quality that's great! I was hoping you, Alex, Tom, and Ed would come together on song and use your musical talents which I think turned out great! The bright pop sound also adds to it also, which sounds better than the original. It reminds me of the theme song to Skins which has a bright melody to it too! Great Vocals & Great Video!

  • Nbarbosa95

    Gah I loved this song & the video and just everything about it :)
    Keep it up!

  • jempin515

    why is sons of admirals not on your music tab on the website? :)

    The song and the video are both terrific. :D Plus, you all have some of the best voices. I hope you guys make more songs!

  • Astrid

    This is really good.
    Really, really good!

    Beautiful girls and
    cute guys – the music?

    FANTASTIC!

  • cecily

  • Barelyemo

  • MollyPushpa

    Red hair still suits you. Is it still from the video, or did you repeat the experience to keep the colour ?

  • Jess GB

    wha happen to chameleon circuit but i love the new song toooo

  • Nat

    IMHO You are a little racist at the end of this post, talking about “British People” as if we are all identical.

  • Oh_yersh

    i love this song guys<3
    i bought it on itunes and listen to it like everyday

  • Harrie

    Hi Im making a documentary on redheads… Somehow during this rather exciting but tediously time consuming project i managed to drive myself insane by listening to strange youtube videos unfortunately a short time after the completion of the documentary i found this… and consequently i died. You see i missed out on listening to this while editing. If i had known about it i would have had many fun-filled hours killing myself laughing during cutting in and out of scenes…

  • bribro

    THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SONG. REALLY. I WOKE UP AT 5 A.M AND IT JUST POPPED INTO MY HEAD AND I STARTED SINGING IT.

  • khrocked

    you could have done a better job with directing it.you see my dad is a Director and i know a few tricks about it that makes a home maid video looks like it came out of a giant recording company
    and about the girls to they have to dress like that !!no one want to see you fall in love with a bimbo,but the lyrics where good ..liked the outfit and loved the red hair of yours …..but you forgot to dye your eyebrows..looool
    hope you are reading this or its ganna be well be pointless…………..KH

  • Fionapixie

    I really liked it. Im sure there are now hundreds of girls out there jealous of the two in this video. However, I do think we need some more Chameleon Circuit songs, especially that the new season of Doctor Who is pretty much over (I dont want to wait till Christmas D= ).
    Also, I think Alex should have bleached his hair, because having only two primary colors just seems kinda weird… Still, you pull off that red hair pretty well. ^_^

  • I A K Raaska

    I really liked it! :) Do you have guitar chords for it?? If you do, where can I find them?

  • BongioLala on youtube.com

    I love this song and i like you hair , jaja.
    I hope we know, though, is a bit impossible because I live in Argentina, and you in the UK.
    Lucky!

  • Flakinator

    good song…but what happened to Chameleon Circuit??

  • Gracious_catlover <3

    I fell in love with this song now that you guys sang it enough said. i hope this group really continues to write songs because you guys rock<3 haha LOVE from California <3<3

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/MQSDE6734BMTMAPEMJX4YS3YQM nandee

    i actually really do lke this song, its diffrent, but in a good way

  • Nalilo 91

    I don't know about the video, i'm not sure if you're looking only for complements but I do think that some constructive critique may actually help you in the next video.
    I really think you have talent, thou your video clips (when you direct the music videos) haven't really came out as I hoped to. You can edit a lot better, but that is not the problem. The problem is that the story wich you base the videos on is far too literal, I mean, why do you need to do such explicit subjects? you don't let the space to expand your orizons, at least in esthetics and in imagination. Well, don't know if you get me, I'm trying to do an effort with my english, so, nothing :) be creative!!! still a huge fan of yours!

  • BlytheKala

    Amazing! This is great. I really love your voice and your videos! I've always been interested in making music videos and starting a band. I haven't done either yet (then again I suck at writing songs. Lmao). I actually like this better than the original Cat Stevens song and this is coming from a person who normally doesn't like covers.

  • eve29

    I always enjoy your videos, really!
    But I think you shoul've made it clear that the song is a cover, just in case people don't know.
    Anyway you guys did a good job with the vocals, and i really liked the part with Alex and the pictures.
    And well, I know nothing about directing or editing videos and this one is obviously home made, but hey, nice job, hope i could do some of the things you can do.
    Have a nice day!

  • Paul

    There's a band from New York called The Drums that plays in The UK a lot that you ought to check out. Sons of Admirals sounds a bit similar to them. I think you might enjoy them.

  • Jack OHagan

    I am without a doubt going to buy this song, I find it alot better than the original, although far be it for me to discount Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam.
    Brilliant song and i look forward to the album (if there will be one)

  • Georgia :)

    I LOVE TOM MILSOM and his FUNKY BLUE HAIR O: O:

  • Maddoraptor

    I have a query; what distribution site do you guys use to get your music on iTunes? I'm trying to put mine up and I'm looking for the best deal. Also, what sort of mics do you use?

  • Ddw194

    the video was very well done, it was great!

  • Xobellaboo7

    k, so first off. Blue hair=wicked sexy. Second, that was an AMAZING song! Sooooooo good! I wish I had money to buy it, but I don't. Anyway, great song, Charlie. Tell Blue hair tht he has awesome hair and that I'm jealous.

  • http://timeagentavril.deviantart.com/ Rhianna. But call me Vamp

    Hey, charlie, not that I don't like the song, but it's probably best if you mention it's a cover…

  • Karterminton

    -by the way i liked this song, like all other songs you've written
    -i have no clue why i wasted my time to write this, and its ok if u agree

    this song is oh so amazing ;D lovee it soo muchh and yourr such a cutie (:

  • Brian

    I love this first effort to combine your music talents with those of your mates Alex, Tom. and Ed which works well with this classic song! I have been asking and wondering when you guys would get together and do this. I think together you bring something magical out in each other that shows you are all some how connected, yet different and unique people independently by yourselves! I hope you produce more songs together as The Sons Of Admirals which might take on a success of its own! You can always be solo artists but together you can see the beginning of something that really take off!

  • Yaneth

    Love the music and obviously you’re looking for more than “Oh em gee Charlie is so cute” so I will be critical in saying the dark shot of Alex at night was too difficult to see. I mean I don’t want to strain to see his lovely face. I understand “lonely midnight hour” but more light PLEASE? And I’d like it better with real drums? OK love you !

  • Nereaurzaiz

    I love the song, And you too :)

    This is amazing : ) The song is great and you all sing very well, and it’s very funny how you’ve made the song mean something totally different than it did when there was only one singer.
    It’s very different from your own songs, and I really like those. This is not funny or about something random that means something to you. But I like the video very much (and the song).
    Aand you should definitly colour your hair red again! : D
