I saw him perform at Lollapalooza in 2015 and for some reason didn't pay much attention. Then last week he opened for The Lumineers and I have been playing his album on repeat, I've watched his TEDx bit from 2011 about 20 times, and I've seen almost every single interview of him ever… he draws you in and I can't deal.
Not one single crack when he hits those high notes. So smooth and pure through the whole thing. Love it when they released it as a teaser before the album dropped, but this version beats the album one. OMG!
"The Emotion" Shadows fill my mind up Zeros tell me my time's up I lost count so long ago Maybe my heart's numb Don't hold my hands accountable They're young and they're dumb Drive through the timezones Escape out of my mind's own home I lost you not long ago Heaven knows I'm miserable Hell takes all the credit though 'Til the day is done The emotion is suddenly out of me The emotion's building up inside of me And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach The emotion, the emotion Islands under eyelids Swimming through the silence You were all that, all that, all that I needed And I'm falling, falling into the deep end now The emotion is suddenly out of me The emotion's building up inside of me And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach The emotion, the emotion Rolling through the dark Calling to the light of day Both eyes are open now and I'm running I won't turn around for you The emotion is suddenly out of me The emotion is building up inside of me And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach The emotion, the emotion
Literally found him in early 2020 on TikTok with his song “Electric Love” and found a true gem. I am so glad to be here. Living along side this lovely man.
For some reason, I thought that Borns was going to be a one hit wonder with Electric Love. I'm very happy to be proved wrong-Dopamine is an amazing pop album. On the strength of that, and this live performance alone, I have just got tickets to see him at XOYO. I heart this song :)
As amazing as Børns himself is, the lovely woman that sings background vocals has some heavenly chords. Gives me goosebumps when his soulful voice is paired with her angelic one. 😍
It’s November 2023 and I just discovered Borns music about 2 months ago. My brother died in a motorcycle wreck 7 months ago in April. This song, along with other Borns music, has played a huge role in helping me heal. I love his music and voice!
This version is really cool but I can't watch this vid, maybe just listen to it. Some facts about him flashing on the screen were hilarious... "BØRNS once got a perm and his hair looked like Morissey's" LMAO hahaha "BØRNS has never played Monopoly" me neither haha "BØRNS can only grow a mustache" LMAO haha But this is absolutely sweet, how I wish to receive one
Goodness gracious. I am a middle aged musician and I can sometimes be hard on new music. My college aged daughter turned me on to some really cool bands...which brings me to Borns. I loved the album but somehow missed this song. How on earth? It literally might be favorite song ever...and this live performance proves that he is far from a studio creation. His voice is so pure and perfect...and this song is brilliant.
Shadows fill my mind up Zeroes tell me my time's up I lost count so long ago; maybe my heart's numb Don't hold my hands accountable; they're young and they're dumb Drive through the timezones Escape out of my mind zone, love I lost you not long ago; heaven knows I'm miserable Hell takes all the credit, though, til the day is done The emotion is suddenly out of me The emotion is building up inside of me And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach The emotion, the emotion Islands under eyelids Spilling in through the silence You were all that, all that, all that I needed And we're falling, falling to the deep and now The emotion is suddenly out of me The emotion is building up inside of me And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach The emotion, the emotion Rolling through the dark Carved into the light of day Both eyes are open now, I'm running I won't turn around for you The emotion is suddenly out of me The emotion is building up inside of me And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach The emotion, the emotion
First off, this performance is brilliant and his beautiful singing seems effortless. Second, the captions are kind of unnecessary and takes a little attention from what a great performance is happening.
