Actor Ryan Gosling is the lead singer of a band called Dead Man’s Bones. News of the band broke out in 2007 and this is the world’s first look at the the band’s first music video. The song is called “In The Room While You Sleep”.
Dead Man’s Bones describe themselves as Indie Gothic Rock. The band recently recorded an album in Tel Aviv and In the room while you sleep is the first song from the album. You can see the Band’s Myspace page here.
See what you think. Our verdict? Gosling sounds like a constipated cross between Elvis and Johnny Cash and there is a reason he is an awesome actor and not a rock star.
Disagree? Leave a nasty comment.
The first time I heard this song I thought that he shouldn't quit his day job. You know what? The bloody song got stuck in my head and now I'm hooked. I can't stop singing the damn chorus. I need a Tylenol.
To me, this song is good.
I love him, and I love his song and voice.
What are you talking about? This is a great song. Sort of like a mix between Man Man, Austin James Band, and Beirut. Unfortunately, he will probably not be all that successful because his fans (who consist not entirely, but largely, of teenage girls in love with The Notebook) won't be able to appreciate this music.
Yes I disagree. Its a great original song. Since when are bands not allowed to make music that doesn't sound like EVERYTHING else out there? People are constantly talking about the lack of originality in todays music, but the second someone comes out with something no one heard of before its all of a sudden “Omg what is THAT?!? Dont quit your day job.” The only reason people are being so harsh is because Ryan is a celebrity. If he were just an unknown singer of some indie rock band this would automatically be considered cool.
I like the cymbal crash with the sword at the end. The whole thing is kind of nuts. I never heard of this guy until last month. I guess you'd say I'm "out of the loop".
