More of these guys. Please

[@t00ch1]

no one has put more tears in my eyes than listener

[@famezo12FUHQ]

No like Keaton Henson?

[@casedinlight]

It was the music that made me cry, now it's the fact that Listener is a crappy rock band. At least the beautiful poetry of Struggleville and Wooden Heart got made, before the rock/metal/thrashing-and-banging-noises took over. Drummer boy was the beginning of the end. Yellow shirt guy's departure was the nail in the coffin.

[@SingMyHeartStrings]

Yet it still doesn't come close to the amount of tears I've shed due to listener.

[@byrde4329]

I quit drugs and I remember so many nights where I felt like I wanted to crawl out of my skin and my pupils were dilated, my brain was on fire and waves of manic happiness along with soul crushing depression. I’d put Listener on and drive out to the lake at night and god was it like a reawakening and for that 30 minutes to an hour I felt happiness.

[@TheWhitefisher]

It was relieving for me to hear an earthly echo of the cacophony within my mind.

[@jugales1462]

I love how the only time he looks at the crowd is when he says, "This is for all of us." The rest of the time he's in his own world.

[@John-lo1yr]

I watch this video so much even years after I needed it, and it’s always here to help me feel better.

[@ruckerdrums7934]

This is the best musical performance I've ever seen.

[@travisrimebrooks8780]

hell yeah.

[@breu.design]

delete the "musical"... because it has nothing to do with music. at all. maybe this can be mentioned as poetry but not music.

[@TheAlexcassun]

***** Poetry and music aren't mutually exclusive. I'd consider this both.

[@nofx132k2]

***** Uhm. I guess drums, guitars and horns no longer count as music? Just because he isn't singing, it doesn't make it not music.

[@HeyIntegrity]

​@@breu.design its minimalistic

[@Severinate]

'The answer is silence I'll take it as a no.' - Beautiful lyric. .

[@yakuborigins]

Some of the best spoken word I've ever heard

[@hungarianronin4944]

“This is for all of us. This is for the times that we only listen long enough to know the other person has the same opinions we do.”

[@RamelBautistaMusic]

Listener you are a vibrant spark in a cold dark world

[@decemberonthedate7476]

Im tryin to kick the habit but these track marks are 100 proof... my life as an alcoholic

[@kellymiller3432]

hey im here with you

[@HiddenSofa]

I hope you kicked the habit friend. Personally: I'm failing

[@imabadking]

I'm not exactly a fan of the music, but I applaud the show. The subtle movements of his mustache throughout the song added a gravity to performance that was...enthralling.

[@lindseyf7525]

hahaha I like how you like what's probably the least intentional part of the performance. nuances matter.

[@susanringwall4509]

"We all write songs about life, we just sing em different" I love that line, sums up his style pretty good! Personally I think Listener is brilliant

[@marin4352]

This is so much more than music

[@tornadofreaks5744]

LOVE HIS OKLAHOMA SHIRT!!!

[@tazmon122]

there are so many lines in this song that fill me with self doubt.

[@jadeddawn5150]

Thank y’all for putting yourselves out there like that… your fucking awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏🌺🌸🌼🪓🔪🤔❤️🖤🫳🧨

[@GrindanScape]

ty James! =)

[@danecobain]

Holy crap, I was not prepared for this. I don't know what it is but it's amazing.

[@TheSlowPony77]

just beautiful

[@ThomasBaxter]

2021 calling... and like.. its kinda awesome this is outside and folks aren't jammed up against one another. In a different time and space, this would have been a "bad show" in my head.

[@HFTLMate]

Its awesome when he says "do you BELIEVE IT!"

[@Kenny2k08]

I said we need hope now more than ever before, do you believe it? the answer was silence.....I took it as a no we all want to be normal anyways we all want to be somewhere else than where we live but that's not reality, it's just point of view Love it.

[@EeeeexcuseMeSiiiiir]

Yeeees

[@domdoescars3121]

So glad I found you guys this morning AND get to see you next weekend!

[@justintierno]

The second verse gave me chills.

[@joshmo596]

by far my favorite version performed of this song

[@ayex_88]

Still so beautiful in 2019

[@KodenameKrusty]

Wow The truth finally in poetry.

[@EeeeexcuseMeSiiiiir]

Amen!

[@catsforever4258]

I love them so much ❤️

[@dills001]

Just saw these guys play at Greenbelt. Immense

[@RainbowMoonStarz]

unreal

[@Laurenishful]

Beautiful man wow ❤️❤️❤️

[@hunter6082]

That jawbreaker shirt!

[@richmartin4501]

This song has always brought tears to my eyes and I love it for that

[@9thStreetChannel]

this is awesome!

[@bobbysalkeld2634]

God damn, brother....my fucking body tenses in my pits listening to you but that rawness is righteous

[@SoundsandTonesRecords]

mindblowing..

[@KatrinaAndJacob]

I am spreading the word trying to make more people listen.

[@chrishenwood3079]

wow, this is great

[@seamusanderson1982]

goosebumps

[@ouchie666]

Beautiful..

[@IAmAnEnigma4]

I really love this even though it seems odd ;o but it's SO COOL and different. I like that.

[@m3ntalcollid3r]

I am still a house on fire.

[@MrJcarlson1983]

fucking brilliant work. I love it. will be spreading the word about you guys

[@EeeeexcuseMeSiiiiir]

Amen!

[@gabrielfleenor6338]

I also love how it's only a few instruments, and they're just standing outside in the heat, but still how impactful the message

[@rugratstv9109]

I love that he's wearing a Danzig shirt. Love you listener, thank you for the words

[@richmartin4501]

This song and this band are two things I share with a person I miss dearly. I wait for the day we can listen together holding hands while we watch it burn to the ground.

[@chickenmonger123]

Hobo Johnson reminded me of this song.

[@tatianuhhhh]

he's so chubby I love it

[@Thoushallshred]

The way he says "why" the first time destroys me.

[@aaronbeardsley2048]

He looks like earl from my name is earl

[@justin7517]

+Aaron Beardsley he has a mustache, Fixed that for you

[@rea-lb6bu]

i fucking love this

[@RainbowMoonStarz]

ooohhhh swoon

[@madgesland4217]

I just noticed the beginning for the first time- was a heart condition becoming evident with the feeling in the shoulder?

[@mandamcsherry7023]

Such an incredible band. Amazing.inspired.

[@adam9386]

is that the guy from narcos?

[@Abdel.gabriel]

genius

[@matthewhiggins9376]

At 1:57 I shat my pants and cried.

[@annameyer4139]

SAME

[@evanm6739]

So fucking passionate

[@Varietis]

He is wearing an Oklahoma Shirt... Is he from Oklahoma? Probably a dumb question.

[@megaCrazyman95]

No he's from Springfield, Missouri.

[@Plemp.]

something like dum questions dont exist

[@chaseevis4739]

Varietis I think he's from Atlanta

[@paolopinoargote]

Ron Swanson became emotional

[@HFTLMate]

lmao these guys are fucking great

[@Drougge1]

1:01 haha! listener is great!

[@DarkEquinox345]

Reminds me a lot of Being as an Ocean. Check them out if you're into scream-o!

[@maskedcommand3r547]

+Hoodwink I wouldnt call them scream-o, I think of them as melodic hardcore

[@DL-ty4cu]

chris farley.

[@chaseevis4739]

Dan Lane You're right. He sounds just like Chris Farley. 😃

[@notokmusic4118]

o.m.z. FOR REAL

[@mindcry777]

this cat is so fucking cool

[@PunkCheVara]

fastest 3:30 minutes of my life

[@danbee6407]

I said that same thing last night. I didn't believe 3:30 past.

[@KatrinaAndJacob]

3:21 The popcorn starts. :)

[@Zizou2k10]

Sounds like CAKE for my ears :)

[@inaty22]

does he lose his voice doing this. my voice would hurt. maybe im just weak

[@Toneferxcore]

All he is doing is talking....

[@inaty22]

no lol hes not. he's straining a lot. the way he uses voice.

[@inaty22]

lol i pinky promise he's not "just talking"

[@yfz450rider39]

Adri Navarro look at metal singers, they do whole shows and are fine. They get used to it I guess.

[@Toneferxcore]

Yeah, that's what I meant. Metal singers do it on a daily and they are actually growling, screaming ect.

[@pra51]

fucking amazin!!!

[@azelcaryalan9270]

THANK YOU!!!9 IAMHOPEANDJUSTICEYOUARELOVEANDFAITHWEAREHEARTANDSOUL

[@walterpaisley301]

That is fucking amazing. Moat videos his band is to loud. That is not a complaint you hear from me often. Only when it is spoken word is where I need a lower level of volume.

[@Xplorer228]

Its crazy how both vocalists of Listener and Mewithoutyou have similar styles AND are both Christian. Did they both get their start as street preachers shouting at people or something?

[@premmisseth]

On 2:23 there's a grandma behind moving her feets to the rhythm but we don't see it cause she doesn't wanna be seen enjoying listening to The Listener.

[@xrik7865]

Starts off as a Pat the Bunny song and then he starts talking and it metaphorohasizes into Listener

[@whiteknitejonnywhite]

6 people just don't get it.

[@curtiscox2089]

7 now haha, idk how you can fully watch this and put a thumbs down to a man poring his heart out

[@banessuperbrutalmetalfunti2561]

Curtis Cox I'm a fan of listener, but maybe they just didn't like it. Taste and all that.

[@danecobain]

I know these kinds of comments are lame, but 51 people have never known a house on fire ;D

[@mrmelt9835]

He needs to stay of the disco biscuits

[@notGeist]

Joaquin Phoenix really got into the whole method acting thing before Her huh? Still don't see how this helped him act in the movie but it's cool nonetheless

[@kaetescr]

MUENSTER!

[@Lynwood_Jackson]

Chris is a fox. I love how he took his shoe off to mute his snare.

[@stephencooper5155]

tough crowd lmao

[@knoxvillepredatorcatcher3459]

Am I the only one who pictures Gilbert Gottfried everytime I hear his voice?

[@AbsolutionFB]

You're cute.

[@aarbrachru]

it's good he's not letting his tourette's hold him back

[@WARRIOR30046]

This is my first time listening to them and I love it! I would have never known he had tourettes if you hadnt posted that. Its incredible, the power of music.

[@gurieohskfgre]

warrio3004 He doesn't have tourettes, I was fortunate enough to see him live and chat to the band afterwards. It's something that just kinda comes when people get in to their music (see Steve Vai or a band called toe for other examples) not to say people that don't aren't equally passionate but some people just physically express it more heavily.

[@koripaige4]

Tim Wong I'm so glad you took the reigns and responded here. The way people feel and express music is so unique to every individual and it's so beautiful. Thanks for your comment!

[@vpxc]

wat

[@AllsWellInHell]

shame this dude was a prick. booked him once and he was incredibly rude and very greedy / ungrateful even after taking care of him / his crew.

[@robwebb5242]

i think i can only hear this like once a week for no longer than 4 minutes. i understand that its spoken word art, but it's just too much for me.

[@cujopersico1120]

Sounds like me when I used to stay up on meth for days on end. That's what I would look like too. He could definitely pass for a burn out. It's interesting to say the least

[@WorkMicrobe]

Politically correct song.

[@Lukedawg1984]

Not gonna lie I first thought to my self WTF is this shit, when he started to sing/yell/talk lol! But the lyrics made up for the crappy musical part of it!

[@kyleprifogle7771]

Its like its almost Rap. Its like someone recorded an argument with their wife and made it slightly more rythmic.

[@aez378]

the vocals always annoyed me a bit spoken word like hotel books back a long time agoooo

[@xchorro]

i loved this 5 years ago but now i find it kinda cringey

[@ztk7789]

This is the worst song I've ever heard.

[@aleksi4345]

👎🏻
