hippo campus - poems (live at youtube space nyc) 

I swear I float when I listen to their music.

nathan holds his guitar so high to be closer to god

can you imagine how lucky the audiences of this live session are? 3 years and I'm still jealous af

My grades have risen, crops have flourished, my day made better.

this is ear candy on a whole new level you boys don't know what you've created

Tests got cancelled, Groceries got cheaper, Skies got bluer, Free sushi, This song and performance :)))

3:43 is the best part of this video good god it feels like I'm floating

i love how they all smiled pretty much throughout the whole performance. so fuckin wholesome

i love looking at DeCarlo bc when he isn't playing he's laughing or just smiling lol

i diD NOT KNOW I NEEDED THIS

Lyrics Mary packed her bags and left home on a Christmas Eve For sea soaked skies and dashing lads with cars An actress orphaned by the social constructs of her art school A victim of their esoteric rule So pretentious that she almost thought it cool But all you'd hear is La, la la la la... Purpose was a vague ideal that she would always talk on Till she fell in love with the salesman from TV Yeah, she fell in love with a salesman from TV While all of Hollywood sang La, la la la la... Pearly, pretty prize, and a ribbon box of sighs In a collared shirt She thought it wouldn't hurt Certain love of mine with the palest blue eyes In a collared shirt I thought it couldn't hurt Wood flavored kiss taste the concrete of this It really fucked with me, it really fucked with me California eyes are a death witch from design You really fucked with me La, la la la la...

I don't know if Nathan's guitar is just really big or he's just really small

That was amazing, a lot of higher pitched singers aren't as good live as in the studio, but you guys sounded perfect. I might even like this version of the song a little better than the album version.

I'm so happy! I can actually hear Zach singing!

Man, Jake! Your voice has really changed since 10th grade ;) You guys all sound SO great! I miss singing in the practice rooms with all of us! Miss ya, man!

Ive been listening to this video for years and ive come to the ultimate conclusion that this performance transcends all mediums below it. Nate’s vocal and trumpet along with the simple and yet secure lyrics make this a underrated masterpiece and in one take i have been inspired to become like them. i love you hippo Campus

The cutest and purest band to exist honestly

this killed me. like I'm shaking and crying and i dont even really know why it was just so beautiful holy fuck what is even going on

3:13 ZACH FUCKING SUTTON EVERYONE

zach's voice sounds like velvet in this, it's so soft and pretty and warm, oh my word

This is my favorite band of all time. It's sad that I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, and never get to experience the days of chasing live beautiful encounters of extraordinarilism. And yes, I made up that word, just for you. A beautiful cocktail of iconic lyrics, supported by skipping melodies and patient percussions, topped off with a traveling lead that takes you to the core of the song. Only to be complimented by the saving grace of the trumpets seductive balance between words, sound and vibrations. I can't believe this much talent is in one band. Much love! Oh, and the fucking guy can sing his ass off!!!

They always have fun in stage! I love it!

look at them all boppin during the bridge !!

How do you delete someone's dislikes?

my ears just came

Hippo Campus Should Do A Song With Coin!!

I just saw them in Denver last night and I have to say, if you ever get the chance to see them live DO IT. it's insane how good they are and how much fun they have.

I wanna see them live so bad. Keep up the great work guys! I love your music!

kings

3:57 espo in the back is my face rn

This music speaks to my soul and Nathan is legit the love of my life

Still in love with this video

You can’t help but crack a smile while listening to this.

I'm so in awe, I can't believe there was a time when their music didn't bring me all the emotions and happiness it does now

This is so pure.

Nathans playing is always impeccable

2:15 holy shit Jake literally has the voice of an angel

everyone is feeling the music in that stage, love it.

If you are having a hard time defining what TALENT means, you can simply say Hippo Campus. Absolutely synonymous :)

GOD THIS IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER LIVE! CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM IN SYDNEY ❤️

Beautiful. There is no more to say.

I just wanna know who the hell dared dislike this gift from heaven

i can’t TAKE the love I have for this band and their music

Suddenly my depression is cured

LOOK AT MY BBYS YES WORK IT BOYS

I love this song. Mainly the live version.

4:00 DeCarlo is like: damn jake what in the world are those vocals.

i’ve probably watched this video 100 times since it first came out. one of their best performances ever

Such amazing voices

It's a blessing that u guys exist 💕

Decarlo's reactions are life

Okay, Atheists, if God isn't real, then prove 3:19-5:31 isn't CLEAR PROOF that God surely exists in this world and embodies himself as 5 beautiful and beautifully talented men......

Jake croons so effortlessly. I love this band, and what's more, I love Jake's voice.

best part of my day

Sensational, I cry

DeCarlo at 4:02

Everything about this song gives me musical goosebumps and such a good feeling in my ears.

I AM SO IN LOVE OH MY GOD

Hearing this song live I literally felt like I was floating. Absolutely amazing.

wow, this is beautiful

love how this song has such a smooth beat.

This song means so much to me

Their live is always better, so chill

this is SOOOO nice wow thank u for this blessing

this is pure gold

my favorite band right thereee

I love Hippo Campus more than my parents ever loved me.

We don't hear Zach sing often enough! And also Nathan is perfect on that guitar!

I just listened to this on repeat for about 20 minutes and it was very nice

saw them live. would give so much to see them again. such a dope, talented group of guys, i hope i can meet them next time. they seem like some of the chilliest dudes you could ever meet

i haven't stopped listening to this for the past two days. thank u for this beauty 💘

This song is… magical to me.

Los años pasan y no puedo dejar de escucharlos. ¡Son mejores cada día!

Really dig this, and also, PLEASE RELEASE BASEBALL

Both the subtle shimmy dance Zach does at 4:37 and 5:16, and everyone's faces of joy while playing the song are such blessings :,)))

I listen to this everyday, it really helps with my mental state.

I CAN BARELY FUCKING HANDLE THIS ITS SO GOOD LIKE ITS OUT OF THIS WORLD I CANT EVEN BELIEVE OHHHH MY FUCKK
