[@shawnettesmalls277]

100% the backgrounds are incredible

[@jorgep1]

Yes! the whole ensemble is amazing. I like the little something piano kicks in at 1:17, the female vocalist at 1:53, guitars kicking back in at 2:06, the drum change at 2:37, male back up singer at 3:15. Even the camera man slayed on this video. This has gospel feels all over. I'm a believer, y'all!!! Kudos for documenting a case of perfect place, perfect time.

[@katr.9902]

Alabama Shakes makes me remember how great music can still be done with basic instruments like guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and an amazing voice.

[@rondelgado7990]

That bass player has a swag you just can't buy.

[@michelemichele7178]

It is so true. I grew up with a bass player who was so he was so focused on being virtuoso- and he WAS- Jaco pastorius didn't have a whole lot on him for real. But this guy's so special it's like, he can play just three or four notes and it'll just blow 16 bars of the fanciest most bombastic s*** away !! Magic is what you call that I believe ✌🏽🖤🙏🏼

[@eduardodomador44]

You know when a song was made with heart and soul when the tears come out from your eyes.

[@jessicawardlaw1821]

Brittany just pours her intense feelings out so smoothy. Her and her backup singers are so unique, a prime example of why representation matters!

[@Opcode_]

People seem to think country is the south' distinctive sound. No. THIS is it. This is the soul song of the American south.

[@wassdepp1]

This is sounds like an invitation to go into a deep trance, gently close your eyes, forget about the world and live your last day peacefully.

[@iambmccoullum]

Agreed.

[@loveleebeingme]

This is gut wretchingly beautiful. If you ever honestly been in love, this captures the passion, intensity, ease, insecurity, uncertainty, beauty, thrust, overwhelming, desire, compromised, exposed, chaotic melody that it truthfully is. thank you Alabama Shakes. #mynewfab

Loko Prirodna Kozmetika yes I will man it's hard to catch her. She tries to keep a low profile. I went walking saw her on the porch and said hi but didn't want to bother her because she normally tries to stare in the opposite direction when she sees people coming. I'm a huge fan and was into her music even before I knew she lived there but I want to respect her privacy. My mom saw her out walking with a couple of folk not too long ago and spoke but I was at work and missed it 😢. I would have approached her then... maybe next time 😀

[@tobitaktlos3241]

@@kristineve9080 "i don't think of you as bits and pieces" really captures how you feel about someone when you love them. You don't love 10 % or you don't just love single aspects of their personality but you love someone as a whole, with everything that comes with them. That makes love not only beautiful but dangerous as well. But you fall for someone regardless. With the song i don't even know where to start ... it's so beautiful and describes love so well without being cringe or cheesy or to shallow. Almost a realistic description instead of the dreamy worshiping touch other love songs have.

[@mariagentles1106]

Black isn't a racist term, unless you believe that "black" is a negative thing. Black is beautiful! Without the blackness of the galaxy how could we see the stars? Don't hate.....appreciate! Don't separate.......congregate! The world can be a wonderful place when one accepts people with all their differences. Racism comes from a place of raising oneself over another because of racial differences. Assuming rightful privilege because of ones racial background. When you hear the term "Black is beautiful" it's not that one is saying that "white" isn't. We say it's beautiful because we were told we are not. It's about uplifting not downgrading. This band has many beautiful souls that happen to be wrapped in multi-coloured skin. The covering doesn't matter, it's the beautiful soul and the wonderful gift they offer all of us through music
