Elliot is another artist we lost way too soon. I’m sure he’d be proud of that cover, Ben. Great work.

Ben singing New Slang. Is that everything I asked for life? My two fav bands. It was messy but that was lovely.

Motion Sickness is a really powerful Phoebe Bridgers song. I’m honored to have heard it live covered by you Ben.

Ben singing New Slang by The Shins is something I never knew I needed but is like the emoist thing in the history of the world and I f’n love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Woah! Waltz #2?? Thank you so much for this.

When Ben said "this is a song by my buddy Wayne" and then started Do You Realize I almost lost it. Just fantastic.

Ben is the simply the best we have right now. What an amazing talent singing all of my favorite songs in his inimitable style. DC Forever.

This really cheered me up, but NOT OUT.

MOTION SICKNESS COVER!!!!! Ben Gibbard is a national treasure!!!

Wow. That waltz #2 was so beautiful!

I cannot believe you did the bones are the skeletons money, that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen hahaha

I look forward to listening every day to Ben’s live concerts. This will forever be my time stamped in my memory.

Wow. That Rilo Kiley cover was everything I ever needed.

Waltz #2!!! This is awesome..this is like my daily playlist I listen to lol so cool

Country Doc is a great cause, and I never knew I needed Ben singing "Thirteen" so sweetly. Beautiful!

These live streams are great. I've always liked some Death Cab songs but I've never listened to much of their music besides the big songs. Yet I find myself watching these live streams almost everyday.

Donated on your behalf. Just wanted to say thank you for doing these. Artists and musicians giving their talent to the world through music and art during this crazy time is incredibly heartwarming. Thank you, Ben. See you tomorrow.

These intimate, acoustic love letters are saving my psyche. So grateful to all these artists for this emotional balm

The flaming lips cover is a so good thank you for doing it ☺️

Thanks for Waltz #2! I’m one of the folks who requested it- one of my favorites ❤️

Thank you so much for helping to support our clinic, we truly appreciate it!!!!

Ben Gibbard and The Shins are my top favorite bands and oh my gosh I can't believe you just combined those two things

You are amazing for doing this. I look forward to each one of them. Your covers tonight were so great. Thanks a bunch!

I remember finding a recording of ben playing silver linings live AGES ago and jankily saving a muffled live take just cause i loved the cover so much, so happy to hear it again!

Thank you for hosting these and spreading good vibes! I’m up in Bellingham and these sessions are helping pass the time cooped up. I’d love if you did a cover by any of these cool people... Peter Gabriel, Fleet Foxes, Manchester Orchestra, Bright Eyes, Avett Brothers, and Blind Pilot. Please and thank you!

Isolation!!! Omg this is one of my favorites..incredible thank you

I've been tuning in everyday. Thank you so much Ben! Love this!!

This makes my heart so full.

Thanks so much for posting these shows. Really helping me through these times!

You are incredibly amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to play all this beautiful music. Making some of us feel not so alone.

Just lovely! And again thanks so much for these videos! ❤️

Dude, as a big fan, what you are doing is just incredible.

My goodness, every single bit of this is perfect 🥰

thank you for doing this Ben.

You're incredible. Thank you for doing this. I play all your records(including Postal Service) when I'm spending time with friends and/or just want to relax, so this is extremely comforting. Please stay safe. The world needs you.

Please keep this up, these daily live streams mean the world to me. We love you, Ben! Thank you so much for Waltz No. 2 and Do You Realize?? 💜

New Slang and XO were so beautiful - Thank You. As a fan for 20 years, so special to see you play acoustic like this =)

This is glorious. Thank you, Ben. I can't tell you how much this helps!!!!!

This is an incredible cover of Waltz No. 2 Xo. I adored this!

These make me very happy. From a fan since 2000, thank you so much Ben. :)

This is so special for me. Thanks so much Ben!

Ben, thanks for doing these. I'm really enjoying the intimacy of these performances and your commentary. I've loved your music since I first heard "Your New Twin Sized Bed", but I'm really starting to love the man behind the music. Be well.

I loved all of these!! My favorite by far were the Elliott Smith covers 🖤🎶🌟 blessings and love to you Ben.

Thank you Ben! Great covers!! Stay safe!

Thank you for sharing your voice during such a weird time. You're awesome, Ben! Sending love from across the lake in Bellevue ✌️ lol

Thank you so much for doing these covers. New Slang was incredible; the skill of pushing thru subtle musical errors makes music beautiful. I hear something real, and I love it. It why people love vinal. Its real. Thank you for putting yourself out there!!

Thank you!

Thanks Ben, this was wonderful. I've known for a long time that our influences growing up were very similar (thinking of your early Smiths and Julian Cope covers, Phil Collins, etc.) but this setlist looks like my most listened to tracks on Spotify. Thanks again.

Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize?" helped me to cope with my grandpa's cancer diagnosis and death back in 2012. Ben's sets are helping me to go through this mess we are all in, and listening to his cover of that gorgeous song broke me (in the best way possible). Thank you so much, Ben.

Waltz #2 (XO)-- Thank you for the ode to Elliott Smith and for doing it justice ❤🖤 My heart is bursting with happiness 🖤🖤🖤

I love that you are doing this man!

I think Ben is a lot like the Lennon of out generation. A beautiful artist/human being inside and out.

Absolutely amazing covers, thanks for making our quarantine better Ben! 😊 ..Also you remembered the JAMC 😉

What a set! Holy shit! I'm blown away! Absolutely incredible!

Thanks Ben. You are appreciate

Sharing love and music all over the world. Great move!

Thank you . xo

Ben you are just so so so good. Not everyone who makes it in music has talent, even those that seem legit. The camera and the studio covers up a lot of imperfections, but my man you are the real deal!!

That shins cover was so great!!

I would abolutly love to hear you sing Saturn by Sleeping at Last! Lots of Love from Poland! ♥️

Simply said Ben, thank you.

Thank you

All amazing choices!! Hoping for Nada Surf next week

Donated and thank you for this great show!

Ben, you did a great job with New Slang. I was singing along and felt the pain of how deceptively easy it seems. Can you please play Each Coming Night by Iron & Wine? Thx! D'Arcy

Hysteria left me in a puddle of tears. Well done, sir!

OMG The Shins too So glad I can just come back and watch these over and over and make comments too!

For Walt #2? Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so very much.

LOVE the Jesus and Mary Chain tee, but more than that I love all of you early aughts PNW artists. You all mean so very much to me and have soundtracked a lot of my life.

Hyestia was awesome. This is incredible. Thank you.

Thanks Ben!! Needed that. New slang was awesome

Love how DCFC and all these great musicians are doing this. Makes the time fly by (and actually appreciate that we have to social distance).

Thank you for existing.

Guided by Voices - Smothered in Hugs

i love so much that he played elliot smith!

Heck yes. I was one of the ones who suggested Phoebe Bridgers. So rad to hear your take on Motion Sickness!! Also, the Def Leppard cover was a surprise but a welcome one for sure!

this is everything. god bless this man.

This was great! I’d love to hear You’ve Haunted Me All My Life one of these times!

Yayyyy New Slang!!! Thank you, Ben!!! It kicked ass. 😍

Loving these!! One I'd absolutely love to hear is "Sodom, South Georgia" by Iron & Wine! Love you Ben!!

Still praying for a bright eyes cover.

Getting to see Ben do a live cover of Def Leppard - what a world we live in

Brilliant, Ben. 🖤

OMG, Def Leppard cover is amazing! Thanks Ben!

Do you realise? Absolutely stunning

That last cover helped a lot.

BLESS YOU BEN.!

Thank you so much for the Elliott Smith cover!

Idk if he mentioned it in the livestream but it's so interesting that he covered Lennon and Harrison/Dylan, who influenced Elliott Smith, and then Phoebe Bridgers who was in turn influenced by Smith

For next Sunday’s covers, anything from the following could/would be amazing: The Thrills, Ben Harper, David Gray, Elbow, Beck, Gregory Alan Isakov, Mandolin Orange, Starsailor, Travis, Arcade Fire, Band of Horses, Wilco, Bright Eyes, Fanfarlo, Greg Laswell, Pete Yorn, Ryan Adams, Sondre Lerche. I could go on...or just do what you do, all good. Thanks for doing this and being an inspiration to others.

the "new slang" cover...omg....so much love

YESS. Came to watch the Skeleton Song. Thank you!

Thanks, Ben. As inspired by your t-shirt (which I want!)... how about Taste of Cindy or Under The April Skies or Happy When It Rains? Or any TJAMC song you like. That would make my day. Thanks!

Dude that Elliott Smith cover was fucking beautiful. Thanks for doing these Ben, love you ♥️

That song suffer enough last week😂😂 how can we love you more Ben

Ben Gibbard on Elliot Smith...thank you!
