Bent Knee - Hold Me In (Live at Big Nice Studio)

[@viniciusairton5731]

I'm convinced that Courtney is the best rock singer in the world right now.

[@mailliw2698]

I read somewhere that she's the only rock singer to have existed

[@pipezcado]

Vinicius Airton yup...

[@Rickmcjeeves]

Spot on, man! Chills!

[@chrisnaes5150]

Vinicius Airton got more than a little misty eyed when I saw her bringing it live last month

[@patrizioetoile7702]

Yes!!!

[@Ohyehah]

There's a million things to be said about this band, but one of the most unique aspects I don't see people mention enough: Vince, the sound designer (and synth and guitar player), is being treated as and acts as a full blown member of the band. And there's moments like in the beginning with Courtney singing and him tweaking the delay in harmony with her that it shines through how essential this is. I think it seriously enhances their live performances, and makes everything seem a lot more honest. He is just as important as all of the others and that's really refreshing to see being acknowledged.

[@MrHammett]

This is the type of member that always look angry because of that xD But seriously, I just can't fully understand what he does and I want to

[@Merlincat007]

Love that! I know a few bands who do this. Submotion Orchestra are a jazzy oldskool dubstep/future bass band from the UK whose long-term sound guy does this dubby delay stuff. And Strangely Arousing are a funky genre mix from NZ who have started dedicating a player to fx lately!

[@zachpfeif]

In the wise words of Ben, "Whoa! That's spicy!"

[@realAvatarKorra]

That smile at 3:47

[@sytsevledder]

I cease to believe this band is from earth. These are superhumans at work here.

[@TheCatSlasher]

Seriously, one of the greatest and most refreshing bands to release consistently incredible music in a long time. Every song is bursting with creativity from each instrument, the lyrics are always interesting & thought provoking, the emotion in Courtney's voice always shines through clear as day, and somehow their live performances always outshine the album versions (which whip complete ass too). I'd kill to check them out live, even their solo works are awesome.

[@declanp1]

Seriously, go see them. You won't be disappointed!

[@declanp1]

I saw Bent Knee in Philly a few weeks ago with The Tea Club and Thank You Scientist. I'm 52 and have been going to concerts my entire life. This was literally on of the BEST shows I've ever seen!!! Absolutely amazing. I went to See TYS and fell in Love with Bent Knee and The Tea Club. I love discovering new music and I'm happy to see so many incredible, passionate artists creating original music. Bent Knee is a sonic amusement ride that you never want to get off!

[@isaacdavid1958]

Well, I’ve just turned 62, and when I first heard this song in 2019 on British radio, I couldn’t stop listening to it. Like you, I am always keen to expand my musical horizons, and though some of my favourite music is usually more sedate, this band is such a welcome blast of fresh air. Long may they continue to make beautiful music!

[@progperljungman8218]

55 here and... yup, the love of this band goes for me too!

[@muffevans5667]

Is this the oldies section? Yeah I'm 60 going on 18. New to Bent knee during lockdown. Sonic Amusement Ride encapsulates this absolutely perfectly. Well described where I couldn't when asked. Now I have the perfect descriptor for Bent Knee. Nice one. Ta!

[@lamecasuelas2]

Courtney looks super happy, i love everything about this

[@aliensporebomb]

Her vibrato during the crescendos gives me goosebumps.

[@lamecasuelas2]

@@aliensporebomb the way she uses dynamics Is great, her vibrato Is great, the timbre Is great. She Is just all fantástica all around

[@Anonymous-re9fd]

progrockrules it isn’t trust me. It has this effect on all of us

[@juliabuliahulia]

Gives me goosebumps every time she hits those high notes. So emotional. This song has such a beautiful ethereal sound! amazing band.

[@enricopersia4290]

Her smile while singing is contagious ^^

[@MisterDoctorBaconman]

Having the guitar mixed more strongly into the left channel makes a surprisingly big difference in how I hear the supporting lines during the verses. Love this live version, you guys have an insanely consistent live performance whether in the studio or on a stage, and to anyone who hasn't seen it, go see it!

[@edmundh]

I want to spend the rest of my life at a Bent Knee show.

[@SimonDavid]

2:12 favorite moment the headbanging sound engineer at the background

[@DrTacoPHD665]

Watching Courtney sing this song makes it even more impactful than on the album. Godamn

[@RvBDopp]

I can't tell you how incredibly happy I am that Spotify recommended me to you guys a few weeks ago. I've been talking nonstop about you. Everything is so top notch.

[@tarthey]

Make sure you check out Say So on their bandcamp as it's not on Spotify and it's amazing

[@RafaelMartinezG]

My story as well. Quite a recomendation

[@obiheyer4567]

​@tartapet it's on Spotify now 😊

[@callummoodley6311]

Courtney's performance at the end gives me "great gig in the sky" vibes

[@apeacebone6499]

Hardcore chills during the bit where the bassist sings. No, honestly, hardcore chills through the whole damn thing. Y'all are out of this galaxy.

[@mikegaito38]

I didn't think I could love this song more than I already do, but this version is AMAZING!!!!

[@trusodapop]

Seriously one of the few times a “live” version or re-record is better than the official release haha

[@tomgrunewald4131]

This song hits me so deep, especially in this version. It almost made me cry, when the quiet part started and Jessica started to sing. Discovered them as a support for Haken in Hamburg last year, hope to see them back in Germany soon.

[@Explosivecatto]

I found this song today and it made me cry omg it’s so great

[@airfield3210]

goddamn indeed

[@FunnelCakeRyan]

It's truly ridiculous how good this is.

[@DeagleLas]

Regular bands are better on their studio than lifve. But, there's a rare elite of bands that are just the opposite. Their live performances always surpass their studio albums. Bent Knee is an example of it. Love you, guys. Courtney, there's something on your voice that makes us all tilt. It's not only you're an amazing performer and keybordist. I believe is your soul there, as well. Congrats, thank you and all our love from Spain!

[@zachpfeif]

It blows my mind this only has 15k views. Holy crap this song is good.

[@genwt3916]

3:32 Those two chords right there. I believe they are the linchpin of the song, and a crucial setup for the climax.

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

This music and this band is THE TRUTH 🖤

[@rafaelgarnier7448]

I love when it's Jessica singing on that track. It brings a quieter moment that is often lacking. Sometimes, your music is too easyly and quickly in a lyrical and intense mood. Yet, I strongly believe the band has a very strong potential that is not truly fullfilled now. All the best. Keep going please !

[@RizingZeppelin]

What. a. JAM.

[@trusodapop]

Can someone please point me to more music like this. Like songs that reel you into the band as this one did for me a few years ago? And when I say that, don’t tell me the songs you love NOW. Tell me the songs that reeled you in. The best songs from then. I need MOAR

[@busterstutts9849]

Mother of GOD

[@dexterlarsen1712]

Courtney's voice nearly breaking at 4:29 gives me chills. Probably wasn't intentional but it is absolutely perfect!

[@DrTacoPHD665]

She does a similar thing in the studio version of Lovemenot multiple times. I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional.

[@HRRRRRDRRRRR]

It's not breaking, it's distortion, it's 100% intentional. Just watch the live recording of lovemenot where she does it to a greater extreme.

[@adancein]

Honestly made me reconsider my values of human voice as an instrument. I think I severly underestimate.

[@albertjennings7351]

I don't even know why I listen to other music anymore. All anyone really needs is some Bent Knee.

[@BallZackRamone]

By far one of my fav BN songs raw... even better

[@h22s]

CHILLS AT 3:05

[@Schuli]

Everytime Jessica sings. Pure Magic. This Band is pure Magic every holy time!

[@chrisnaes5150]

Can’t hype this band enough. Everyone in this band makes it better. Courtney is UNREAL in live performance. Come back to St Louis again please and thank you

[@mikeriderart1121]

These guys are my heroes. I listen to this CD everyday on the way to work. Been that way for weeks. So much going on in their songs that I notice something different with each listen. Then they put this out and shake things up. Love the innovations. My favorite band. I cannot wait to see them again! In fact, I may have to fly somewhere to see this tour again.

[@desrj]

There's nothing to dislike about this song. Magnificent.

[@pachaysuimaginario]

Courtney es simplemente asombrosa. TODOS SON ASOMBROSOS! Amo su música! Vengan a Argentina!

[@ProckGnosis]

Damn...how did I miss this when it came out? Saw the band live around the same time this was released, and what a gig it was!!

[@JonathanGoslan]

Tom Dowd brought me here, so glad he did. This whole album is incredibly good. I get shades of The Book of Knots and a bit of Diamanda Galas, especially in the tailing off of the vocals. Really exceptional work, kids!

[@auralfixxation6702]

Dam, this song still amazes me.

[@chrisv2346]

what a killer band

[@PSchmidtc]

Unconditionally in Love Forever

[@SuperRedshark1]

Seeing this wonderful joyous performance of the musicians producing their stunning original music really adds to the enjoyment of it. Thankyou Bent Knee.

[@MawcDrums]

Wow. Goosebumps.

[@rollacoastaride1937]

maaaan, these kids can rock, sonically outstanding

[@TrevorLahey3]

4:28. Vocals. Holy shit

[@lycoris7890]

Damn this music is good

[@auralfixxation6702]

This band gives me cold chills. Amazingly odd and intriguing.

[@Schuli]

This Big Nice Session is pure Gold!

[@pmtnoise5855]

I hope they give us the gold!

[@Schuli]

@@pmtnoise5855 OMG That would be so amazing!

[@Nenad-xp9xq]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pizzannn]

SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU AT BRIGHTON MUSIC HALL

[@pipezcado]

Goddamn is absolutely right..

[@RafaelMartinezG]

Ill always come back to this session for the amazing renditions of the album, even though my favorite is still Land Animal, You Know What They Mean's studio sessions are incredible.

[@EmilienDelcour]

I can't express enough how great it is to me. Congrats guys!

[@lennyngrado6365]

I'm loving how Courtney's voice is more upfront in the mix compared to the album version. And those full-energy finales are the band's signature. They make me want to hear another song, and then another one...

[@alexcannon-microdot]

Can I like this one twice please?

[@JuanTheDjent]

Stunning band, obviously loving every minute of this and rightfully so. Just perfect in every single way. Genius.

[@gregdahlen4375]

enjoying their own music

[@alexanderkonczal3908]

Thanks for everything you do.

[@MaynardOC]

What a great and extraordinary group of talents brought together to generate an energy as perfect and delicately exquisite as music.

[@auralfixxation6702]

Dam this song is even better than before. And the band too. Bravo!

[@trusodapop]

God damn, this music makes me feel so many emotions. Please don’t ever stop

[@indoorkiddo]

i wish the production was more like this on the album version

[@bearnardb]

GOD DAMN, that is tight!

[@NOSROT1]

AWESOME...! WONDERFUL...!

[@lucascastro4165]

It's so nice to see that you guys are enjoying yourselves. So much fun

[@desangre831]

Unreal. Gotta spam this to everybody in the world until we hit 1 mil views.

[@RoboticsBay]

Perfection! What a performance

[@Repppo]

I truly hope you will add these live versions to spotify as well, I get goosebumps everytime i hear this

[@pascalerb5572]

This is just a wonderful piece of art! You all rock so much that it's shaking me all over!!! AWESOME!

[@kenjones6441]

One of the most interesting bands around at the moment. Where’s the references? They are so original. Remind me of when the Pixies arrived on the scene. Nothing like them before. I hope they get all the success they deserve, absolutely love them.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Super cool!

[@eumesmo654]

Wow!! What a blast, great tip from my friend Alvaro, thanks a lot man!!

[@velcrocranes]

Truly incredible! That's probably my second favorite song from the band (on par with Terror Bird)

[@scrungly]

i think courtney might be my favorite singer of all time

[@nickrussillo6689]

Please release the whole fucking thing!!!

[@Viiinc3]

So fuckin awsome

[@derekofbass]

Lossless Bandcamp release for this whole session, please!

[@eddyhidalgo1665]

YES PLEASE

[@MoonJellyGames]

Did they do the whole album as they've done with the previous ones?

[@EdgarDeSola]

Arrechisimo!!

[@mdgrantham]

They might not be THE best, but there is no better live band in 2019! This is pure quality!

[@alicec1533]

If Bent Knee aren't THE best I don't know who are.

[@saucybaka4439]

Wtf are you talking about not the best ? Get your head out of your ass !
