his vocals are insane

@FreGZile 7 лет назад

There's something like melancholy in his eyes, it's very touching.

@GaryFL2B 10 лет назад

he appears to be on lunch break from his job in IT

@GeryDAncona 11 лет назад

love his eyes when he's singing "love's such a delicate thing that we do with nothing to prove" (my fave line of the song by the way)

@curiouscat9 10 лет назад

One ticket to Farhampton, please! Right? :)

@mattstephens8607 11 лет назад

HIMYM got me into this song- now I can't turn it off.

@mtrps_ 10 лет назад

that 'love's such a delicate thing that we do, with nothing to prove, which i never knew' ;)

"With nothing to prove, which i never knew" Amazing end to the song!!

I love it when you hear someone sing live and their voice sounds like they actually sang on the record

I really do not want this guy to ever die.

@gusterguy01826 12 лет назад

when you listen to shins songs, his voice fits right in. when you see him playing live and get to actually see the voice coming out of him...its breathtaking. guys got an insane range, one that he can jump top to bottom with little to no effort. what a gift.

i love this song so much. i have this song on repeat on my spotify for 7 days now lol.

@hahabogus 11 лет назад

I completely love this song. Mercer is a brilliant lyricist anyway. And, how fantastic it must've been for her, to be the object of such a love.

@yourguidefortheday928 10 месяцев назад

This song always brings back every deep innocent love and devastating heartbreak I experienced in my young life. Sometimes you need your heart ripped open and this does it well.

@evilsocksss 11 лет назад

his voice is perfect

@megangould1907 8 лет назад

I found this song just searching through mutual songs and clicked on it and I haven't stopped listening since.

I love the way he completely crushes the song and when done has that nonchalant look.

@derrikferguson3219 Месяц назад

Holy geez. First time I’ve heard this song. I’m on a huge Mercer kick right now. ❤

“My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift…” Brilliant

That nod at the end was great. "That's the end of the song, mother fucker."

@qilongzheng6999 10 лет назад

a nice song, i know it from the TV，　HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER，love it.

@chembrad69 12 лет назад

I love that he rocks! He kicks ass, takes names, calls you tardy, and spits you out!

@KiloKata 11 лет назад

Truly one of the best vocalists of my lifetime. I get chills.

@Dustrick 12 лет назад

I don't know how many times I've listened to this song! I love it more than the original. so beautiful.

@Mouldytone 12 лет назад

What an amazing voice James Mercer has! All the better to perform such a wonderful song so extraordinarily!

@TheCatThatWasMan 12 лет назад

Tear inducing beauty of a song

0:52 Singing his own background vocals. Like a boss.

@Dustrick 12 лет назад

I've only heard their music here and there over the years, I've actually never seen one of their videos except the one for this song. I Love it! and I love how he looks like a professor! XD

@Kai150Tunes 12 лет назад

Beard or no beard - superb. Saw him at Glastonbury 2010 as one half of Broken Bells and from 10+ Glastonbury festivals it was without doubt the best set I've seen.

@marydiorlyn7928 11 лет назад

Nice;)

@KCKevinB 12 лет назад

So damn cool. I like the acoustic better than any other version! Wish I could buy that on i-tunes.

@matthiashanneman7542 7 лет назад

Badass

@rwaddill 12 лет назад

I love the song, too. I do wish when he performs it acoustically, though, that he took it down a step or two so he could sing the chorus an octave up like he does on the recording. That vocal leap is incredible, and a key piece to the melody. Still awesome.

@rafarush45 11 лет назад

Ok, no me toco verlos en Cholula, Puebla el año pasado pero los veré en Coachella on Austin City Limits muy pronto

@Muzezzz 11 лет назад

This song (and especially the unaccompanied acoustic version by the talented Mr Mercer) is one of my all time favourite songs...must have played it hundred's of times....brilliant vocalist & guitarist. I much prefer James Mercer unaccompanied to the Shins as a group, would love to see him live.

@mariai9549 4 года назад

Many times acoustic guitar is shrill or too loud in a liveTV recording setting. The sound engineer knew to keep the (outstanding btw) vocals up in the mix.

disappointed, I expected, "but what is ..... a simple song?" and then you burst into five paragraphs of elaboration.

@Volidee 12 лет назад

This is actually the way the song was originally written.

@DGog224 12 лет назад

There have always been people getting replaced in The Shins, James writes all the music anyway so I mean, as sacrilegious as it may be to say, it doesn't really matter who is behind him.
