Audience: "Aw what a nice cute looking boy, I wonder what he'll--" Archy, singing directly from his throat: *"SAME OLD BOBBY SAME OLD BEAT"* Audience: "What the hell"
I think the lack of percussion on the studio version actually enhances the song Percussion in the studio version would make it sound a bit less original and more like his other songs imo Easy Easy is a special song
Jesus, all those kids look like just that, kids. But they are fucking so tight together and have great timing and feel. They look like every shitty garage band we tried to start in high school, but they are just on top of things. Great performance.
TheOnlyRealJohn well hes 18 right here, hes definitly an adult here and so are his homies 18 and 19 to 20, your an adult by 16 in London, they mature faster than us in America, shows in his content, and hes been around for awhile
Basic means not aesthetically pleasing to the ear? I wasn't commenting on technical musicianship, I just dig the kid and the band because the album version doesn't have drums. I felt it was a nice logical step
Saw this years ago and absolutely hated it. Kept going back to it for some reason, couldn't get it out of my mind. Skip forward a few years to last night, and I'm in the middle of a very energetic crowd, jumping around and screaming my head off to this song and most of the others in the set. Easily the most physically and emotionally intense moment of my life.
why does he consistently put out recordings that in no way at all capture the greatness of his live performances. honestly, every live performance he does for his songs sounds better than his recordings.
Ryan Carpenter 6FBTM is fantastically produced, engineered, and performed. He's a great performer, but the studio versions stand on their own easily, and are IMO a good bit superior to the live takes
Feel like this is one of the best live performances of this, there's no beer swilling crowds singing with him, it's just him on this corny American TV show and he's actually got something to be grinding against which is what the whole song is about
"A lot of people took from it that it was a very socially observant song," he said. "But to me it was quite immature rambling about the area (I lived in )."
I understand that he's not everybody's cup of tea but you have to give him points whether you like him or not for sounding sounding the same on his records and live. What a great performance
This video was my first time hearing King Krule. This performance blows the studio version out of the water! I think Letterman was pretty impressed, too.
Never heard of this guy before. Was just watching a mac de marco live gig and this popped up as one of recommended videos to watch... So I clicked on it... And I like it 👍
Well same old Bobby, same old beat Well yeah they got nothing on me The same old cars, same old streets But yeah they got nothing on me And easy come and easy go Well yeah I'm sure I told you so Well they just want you for your dough Man I'm sure I I told you so And with your dead-end job That's been eating away your life You feel a little inside The trouble and strife And now you spend your evenings Searching for another life And yeah I think mate I think you've got them in your sights Well, easy easy There's no need to take that tone Well easy I'm on the telephone Man just leave us alone Ow no I should've kept my receipts Cause the sandwich I bought Yeah it's been off for a week And Tesco's stealing my money When positivity seems hard to reach I keep my head down and my mouth shut Cause if you going through hell We just keep going You're easy So easy You're easy Man just leave us alone? I'll be one minute on the phone
Always liked how Letterman thanked King Krule for choosing his platform to make their network debut in the US. It may seem like a small thing, but to me, it shows that David was always a humble guy and had a great deal of respect for the artists who came onto his show.
For all of his years and watching the show here and there for an older rock and roll lover Dave letterman always brought cool music on his show meaning indie stuff people would not expect on his show.Love it and this song
bruh I dont know if Im just high but when they did the "when positivity seems hard to reach...." bit i fucking lost it, the high hats? cmon mannnn and the pause and sudden clash of music is insane wow 10/10
Snuffy Smith no i'm just kind of an ass sometimes haha. also i was kind of trying to give him advice, what i said is true. If you sent an email to a record label or even a venue that you wanted to play with terrible grammar, they most likely won't even read your email, thats just the way it is. I'm not judging his creative ability or his ability to songwrite, or even that he idolizes Archie because he rips on guitar and is extremely talented, I was simply being cynical and saying that bad grammar doesn't bode well in the music or really any industry.
He does kind of resemble Scut Farkas, the bully character from "A Christmas Story" actually; "cry for me, you gonna cry baby? CRY!!!" LOL. In reality, he could not be further from that character. Archy is a really cool young man. Intelligent, soft spoken, charismatic, and humble (but tough and street smart). Also a musical genius, in my opinion.
