I was so nervous when I saw they were performing this because of the weird high notes in the chorus but I'm pretty sure they were the best notes in the whole song
He still worked with the band on the new album hes just not an active member anymore. So dont feel too bad he might rejoin cuz he didnt leave on bad terms, the other guys were even okay with this
They might be spoilt rich white kids and their upbringing was a million miles from what mine was like, but when it comes to music these guys are truly fucking fantastic!
@dublinrupepupkin i think the reason why they are doing this song sort of laid back is because it is an acoustic version, so the song isn't as loud. Additionally, there isn't a crowd, except for the host, so they don't have a group of people that they can get energy from and work off of.
every time I watch vampire weekend live, I get worried that the singing will sound weird because of the bare instrumentation, but everything just sounds so good.
@cheer4giants He puts emphasis on things a little differently than a lot of people. He stresses the "White" more than the "Sky", where as most people would stress the last word...I think. I like it too;)
