David Ford - State Of The Union

[@tarialanham5371]

Criminally underrated song, such a talent!

[@TheElmospoon]

Listening to this in 2021 and remembering my uni days and how much this song meant to be + how much I loved it live. Not been to a gig due to ill health since the end of 2013 but David Ford supporting someone (forgotten who. Was just there for David) at union chapel (my favourite venue) was a good last one (for now) to remember.

So underrated it hurts

[@drewwhite6865]

still!

[@NorthernEchoes]

I never tire of watching and listening to this song. Nothing short of a hidden, underrated classic. The lyrics remain more relevant today than when they were originally written.

[@SherlockFanatic]

I saw David Ford perform this song the other day and believe you me, you havn't heard this song until you've heard it live

[@mariannepenn1051]

If people can't see how incredible he is. . Then it's a shame.

[@alanjameswalker]

I like how this song is still being discovered - needs to have so much more than 40K views!

[@rickyross952]

Love you David Ford... it never gets old man. Thanks from the human race

[@MattT1337]

This song is probably one of my favorite things - I'm not sure why it came back to my brain recently, but I've been re-listening lately and absolutely love the feelings it conveys.

[@margaretmallen7524]

I too saw him do it live...it is insane. I cannot wait till he is in Canada next!

[@weirdsauce8077]

a great track with literary lyrics fit for poetry

[@biggyrich]

How does this not have more likes!

[@bethstratton3391]

Dave you have got such a gorgeous voice and the lyrics are amazing. I love the album “I Sincerely Apologise For The Trouble I’ve Caused”. I love the stuff you did in the beginning with easyworld on ‘Better Ways To Self Destruct’. I saw you play with K.T. Tunstall once. You always give me massive Michael Stipes vibes, which is a good thing because I love him.

[@purpmusix]

I would kill myself to kiss this man. Been listening to him since I was 13, seven years. Lots of painful and beautiful memories. Thank you David.

[@AndyMort]

this is one of those videos i just keep coming back to. it inspires me so much.

[@randomsasha]

Thank you so much for uploading this! The other video has suddenly became "unavailable in my country".

[@fingal42]

It would be an understatement to say 'I like this'!!

[@matthewhill6196]

I remember seeing him live at the Sage in Gateshead and was completely blown away by his performance, such a musical genius and talent in my book and a brilliant song too.

[@lilcoffeebandit]

this is wonderful

[@benlambe3009]

Saw this live last night... amazing!! Such passion, the video does not do this song justice. :)

[@89GLaura]

This is awesome love how he does it great emotion in his voice too

[@LivyJasmine]

I just love this song. Always have, always will

[@garrettchrane4657]

He came Austin....all of 15 people. Bullshit. He's amazing

[@lindaplant6134]

Posts here are years old. Anyone listening in 2019 and watching the Kurds being slaughtered?

[@lindaplant6134]

As a matter of fact, the Kurds are exactly how I ended up here. Our relationship with the Kurds was never going to end well, but wholesale slaughter and genocide is simply more than I am willing to accept. It called to mind this song. Glad to know I am not alone on this one. :)

[@fideliecaminand7312]

he is so great! love him :D

[@maxthedrummer2008]

theres so many you can use, i personally use Cubase. Its a really good sound editor and recorder.

[@EugeniousNat]

Genius pure genius!!!!!

[@Hearowsify]

Idk for recording I've been using Firestudio, that goes straight into the computer and different editing programs but honestly for something like this video I would have just had a multitrack loop pedal hooked up to the mics, now I'm guessing that's what went on here because there's a real ambient sound going on that would have been likely edited out if there was extra production involved though. I like the sound of my drums better this way than super clean recordings.

[@ericgq1975]

America brought me here. RIP George Floyd. Law enforcement reform NOW!

[@ambrose8496]

madness.

[@Hearowsify]

I love this song, but I find myself laughing through this video because the way he's running around playing all these instruments at the same time reminds me way too much of my fiancee and I...hm...I never thought of videotaping the way a small outfit records before but come to think of it this looks pretty awesome actually lol...Also he got a kick ass sound out of that Mustang I'd love to know what he was running that through, and what he used to record the drums..nice sound.

[@larrylubowsky1473]

For some reason I felt like listening to this again. Facts have no bearing...one of the guys that the shit never sticks to...it's a shame.

[@jenpink4298]

❤

[@Hearowsify]

Fun with loop pedals :)

[@marcostrevisan9621]

🇧🇷👊🔝

[@ambrose8496]

it would be funny if at the end like a band came down and were like who has been at all our stuff man?!?!

[@BonKJesta]

nerd, hes the man

[@davidgagne80]

I love this song. But, this is not live. Notice he never pushes any buttons after he samples himself after each instrument. Not live, but still amazing.

[@Brickerbrack]

David Gagné On this version, that's quite likely. But when he does it live, it's legit.

[@rmderen]

maybe it was meant to not be appreciated by just anyone

[@dg594]

🇵🇸

[@alicein13]

ok, i only knew "go to hell"...but this is damned beautiful!

[@rmderen]

McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but that don't make them good

[@ofs662]

sounds bitter...

[@SunnyMcTribe]

Amazing artist.♥
