Dissolve Me

[@kamael7]

I've been listening to this video regularly since I first saw it in 2014. I still think this is incredible. I like it how the audience at 4:55 can appreciate the climax.

[@mkwitzke]

It was incredible live

[@carolinasamudio4348]

I'm crying. This is the greatest Alt-j cover.

[@lyrix8984]

Great cover! I had goosebumps...

[@stickmanuploader1999]

I need a high quality version of this

[@singoutloud987]

Check out the EP called "Us" by THEM A Cappella on Spotify! It's professionally recorded on there :)

[@rudiekim]

@@singoutloud987 beautiful

[@AuRowe]

@@singoutloud987 Thank you!!!!

[@deannahammel8028]

Omg. Alt-j seems really hard to pull off a cappella. All of the other ones I listened to were meh. But this is fantastic.

[@nadiakeaton5680]

omg right?? there needs to be more choirs doing alt j!

[@bulletfastspeed]

I do not remember ever watching any KZbin video and getting goosebumps. This gave me goosebumps. GOTDAM

[@ThingsToSay654]

Like a lot of the people here, I found this probably not too long after it was posted, and it's been something I keep coming back to, years later. I actually think this is better than the Spotify version, just because you can feel the whole ensemble in sync emotionally. This song, and especially this cover with a choir really brings across a kind of anguish that's hard to express in any way other than music, and over the years it's been hugely cathartic for me to be able to come here to get that out. As many others have said, the climax of this performance is something else. I really wish I could find sheet music of this, either to try to work with a choir to recreate, or else just to see how this group put together these magical chords. If anyone has anything, please let me know.

[@bubbalewis7894]

Been hoping and waiting someone would have arranged this after all these years as well

[@snsl28500]

Glad I found this again. Used to watch this everyday.

P.S.: Hey again, it's been about 5 years & wonder what happen to the group, Nate, & Koby? Hope they're all ok...v

[@jeanpablo1031]

nice one marshall ericksen

[@ro340]

I wonder if they know this song is about trying to find comfort during a bad acid trip? Either way it’s a beautiful cover

[@madeleinedortch]

this is actually Interlude 1

[@THEMacappella]

Thanks for watching! We actually started with Interlude 1 as an intro for Dissolve Me (which starts at 1:10!)

[@potatoperson6270]

The ripe and ruin to be exact (sorry I’m late)

[@grahambelou3228]

tulane university in nola?

[@mkwitzke]

I know them

[@virginiatyree6705]

9 1 19 Hey Mark Witzke, Lucky you! They seem as though they have a LOT of FUN... Be well. v

[@potatoperson6270]

Beginning is actually the ripe and ruin by alt J

[@alt-7973]

Beautiful! Would love if you could check out our cover

[@vegitoburrito6548]

Jank

[@brendanward3258]

THAT'S FUNNY..

[@musicalman1995]

I don’t think starting with the interlude adds anything to the performance. The way this song starts is what makes it so magical. Otherwise, best dissolve me cover on KZbin. No contest.

[@musicalman1995]

Another thing to point out is- the guy with the yellow tie is quite passionate about this arrangement but to its own detriment. It’s quite self-indulgent to start the performance off with the whole interlude - implies to me that he forced it on the rest of the group. Another thing, he’s very obviously trying to do an invocation of Joe Newman in his vocal inflections but honestly I want to hear what his voice sounds like, not try to imitate the band.

[@TheLuckyKings1]

Least sane youtube comment

[@jackcaudwell1993]

This song is about tripping on acid. That is all.

[@lavnlvas]

IIRC it's actually about sleep meds.

[@OwenABrown]

john rhys Nope, it's about a bedtime routine that his mother did when he was a kid! It was in an interview with them!

[@lavnlvas]

Owen Brown it was something about sleep. At least I got that.

[@missmaryypotter]

It's about ocd.

[@lauraintheskywithdiamonds9185]

Ripe and Ruin needs to be way slower and more controlled

[@dandoig5153]

Fantastic
