I absolutely love how its dead silent, just total appreciation and respect for the music

[@MotherSmuckers]

I've seen way too many performances with a chatty crowd.

Wow, the paris audience is actually respectful enough to not scream and shit when the king of music sings

[@jakeismyfirstname]

They seem to have a genuine respect for the art. It's incredible.

[@lauraelizabethhughes]

I was there for this, the place was so silent you could hear a pin drop in little gaps in vocals.. it really was unbelievable..

[@clothbound.connoisseur]

I would kill for this at some of the shows I go to.. Beautiful to see.

[@applekind]

I agree. I was there too and I absolutely loved everything, including how the audience acted. Felt like such a gem to have experienced that.

[@SLoMo4]

in other versions I've seen, there's a gap with some silence.... "woo!"

“Honey, underSTAND that I have been left here in the reeds” gets me every time.

[@lutoph]

It's like anger and sorrow and helplessness and power and love and hate and everything a person can face in life in a line. So much of our lives can feel like just trying to get out of the crease between where we were and where we want to be, but not being able to truly be present in either.

[@CptRexFilms987654321]

I love listening to the tiniest differences in all the performances of this song

[@derekkorff-korn7161]

of all his songs

[@Beautifulcoil]

That is insane how much emotion that man can deliver. Blows my mind everytime. Ever since FEFA I've been in love with this man's voice, lyrics, and delivery. Raw talent.

[@jstoutube]

God damn turn around now, you're my A Team

[@RemaynOfficial]

The dynamics in this are just next level.

[@jorgie1415]

Just saw him play this live in Scotiabank Arena, Toronto and was totally blown away... I always thought the song was pretty neat, but then hearing this sound fill a stadium was night and day from the studio version. It totally shook me both mentally and physically (with all that vibration). Felt like some portal to an alternate dimension was being opened. I just wish he would release a live album!

[@kalgrandy2101]

He’s adds so much emotion to music. The softness of “love at second glance it is not something that we need.” And the cry of pain in stark contrast to it “Honey understand I have been left here in the reeds!” “All I’m trying to do is get my feet out from the CREEKS!”

[@iamosirisx]

I love this performance. Its so raw, its just JV belting into a microphone. It has so much emotion and power, he's done it once again.

[@themessenger8334]

I mean, to be fair, he's also manipulating the vocoder or whatever it is he's using with a keyboard to add layers. But yeah, this version is incredible. I really want to see him live, but over here in the states, concerts like these are typically filled with loud, drunk idiots that would rather talk throughout a quiet performance like this than appreciate the music.

[@LaFlamer]

I keep finding myself listening to this version over the studio version. Both are great but you can really feel the raw emotion this song conveys so much better this way. Absolutely mesmerizing

[@L_J_D23]

The whole album sounds better live I think and I think Justin knows that too, the Live versions are just something else

[@conbaz106]

I've tried and I can't find a better performance of creeks than this right here. Just amazing

[@BatmanHQYT]

This is seriously one of the most beautiful songs I've listened to in a long time

[@64_bit80]

when you see Batman commenting on a song you know damn well its a good one

[@cjjohnson9238]

The way he adds that effect to the word "feet".. my God. I always end up coming back to this when I listen to the studio version. Magical.

I was there at this concert and this was one of the most amazing, out of wordy performances I have ever witnessed. What made experiencing all the talent and dedication in the room even better was the crowd, which had the utmost respect for these artists. During some of the song you could have heard if a pin was dropped it was so silent. I loved it so much and will forever remember to this and am so thankful for the whole Paris crowd for being so nice.

[@wax-noetic]

Regarding the silence thing... if you have even the tiniest fraction of appreciation for sincere music and understand that ALL truly great music is born of either celebration or grievance, when the first few notes of this song enter your ears, the heart/soul are jolted by enthr emotive

[Verse 1] Down along the creek I remember something Her, the heron hurried away When first I breeched that last Sunday Low moon don the yellow road I remember something That leaving wasn't easing All that heaving in my vines And as certain it is evening 'at is NOW is not the Time' Ooh [Verse 2] Toiling with your blood I remember something In B, un-rationed kissing on a night second to last Finding both your hands As second sun came past the glass And oh, I know it felt right And I had you in my grasp [Verse 3] Oh, then how we gonna cry? Cause it once might not mean something? Love, a second glance It is not something that we'll need Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease And I'll see you Turn around, you're my A Team Turn around, now, you're my A Team God damn, turn around now You're my A Team

Some of these comments are weird. I doubt professional, touring musicians have that much of a problem with cheering audiences vs silent ones. To say one group is more disrespectful than the other is inane considering everyone paid tickets to see them. Talking is different, though. Either way great song and I love Justin's voice more than anything.
