F*cking fabulous, absolutely f*cking fabulous!!!!

[@HEEROCKSS]

You can hear its no playback, but it sounds still as good as the studio version, awsome voice

[@ts121084]

There is an entire instrumental backing track. As far as the vocal goes, the chorus has playback.

[@MakeMeLo]

They are very tech savvy!

[@gabrieladdison]

Nothing wrong with it. As long as the vocals are live

[@joukeronex7083]

I was wondering , the guitar defitnetly sounds like playback , but the vocals are live , i assume , still great song but i would love to heard a full live version

[@leonli1131]

Me and i ve got their 2 albums 😻💙 ans saw them at Paris Olympia 2016 with my sista and daughter aged 11 !! Now 15....

[@mvhs]

[@pardeepbhatoa8310]

He sings it just like music video now that’s levels his voice is amazing 👍🏽👌🏽☝🏽

[@inquir2283]

Chorus has playback though :(

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

the song is about 2 spiritual entities who materialize in the physical realm to spread their message - they are responcible for the force running in every boy and girl to find each other and make love, and rejoicing in the world. after spreading their message, they leave the physical world and get back to the spiritual realm. what remains are 2 dead bodies.

[@nunoreis9517]

Tks!!!

[@MyersV200]

Just incredible. Every time i watch this, i simply feel filled with joy.

[@constanzaamaral6392]

Increíble, maravilloso, me encanta ése tema, es un placer escucharlos, no encuentro las palabras exactas , sólo decir que son magnificosssssss...

[@ShamrockFive]

I love these guys, a fresh original breeze thru the popworld when they became famous. I particulary love this song because it reminds me on the best "summer" moments I ever lived. What these guys do is far from easy. I challenge anyone to perform this act! (try the gril shadow guitar playing). It's also a complex musical texture, you would fail badly in a karaoke.The guys voice, well it's raw, but it's original and fits. I hope they soon come back with more excellent stuff to dream away on it.

[@oclarke31]

It is the same for me with the summer moments bit. I was around 18/19 and loving life

[@Emeklinihilist]

Lovely

[@bklysg]

Dare i say .. lyrical and musical 🔥

[@BreitbartGeniusLives]

Awesome upload, Thanks!

[@IKillGoliath]

Absolutely Brilliant fantastic band !

[@MrGolu-kt9iq]

This should be anthem of multiverse!!

[@travelnate]

I know everything about you. You know everything about me. I know everything about us. Everytime, makes me bust! Right to the heart.

[@ismaiilurhan]

why are there so few live performance videos of the best song in the world?

[@rodneymcgiveron]

EOTS ...Australian music at it's best....Another Aussie band with so much great music is Sheppard ...They have numerous songs too that hit you where it matters...like Geronimo...

[@МихаилГоголи]

2022 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎👏

[@jehanyahaya2732]

[@loredanadomizio6629]

EMPIRE THE BEST👑

[@joed69420]

I truly adore the guitar dancers. Along w the perfect moves they lip sync the hook which i think just adds some serious air to the whole thing.

[@FlacoFlores-t8i]
