Shakey Graves - "Dearly Departed" (Live on eTown)

[@randy25rhoads]

I love when people sing while smiling. It just changes the dynamic of what they’re singing and makes it so much better.

[@3rdigrl]

I usually agree, but the juxapositon for this song honestly adds another dynamic thats confuses it

[@ugmodude]

Well, except for Leonard Cohen, because, well, ya know.... Leonard Cohen

[@hankmyers9011]

Dude, yea!!! Esme you killed it!!!! Classic!!!

[@dirkdiggler.]

Raping too

[@randy25rhoads]

@@dirkdiggler. Wait, so do you mean “rapping” oooooor?…

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Esmé Patterson?

[@chipsterb4946]

Sure! She has a stunning smile and very expressive face to go along with that glorious voice 😃

[@dirkdiggler.]

Ive already appreciated her three times this morning by myself and am gonna appreciate her next time im making love to my girlfriend.

[@Jasondurgen]

[@lemwuzbord157]

This the best ever performance of this best ever song. Esme, your vocal, your timing, everything, is just perfect. You too, Shakey!

[@dianasutcliffe4569]

and the flips and cracks in her voice!!!

[@YetAnotherWittyUserName]

Clever, playful, and sincere. This is a serious love song.

[@sluggo163]

This is like the opposite of the halftime show at the superbowl. Genuine, massive smiles everywhere.

[@jukebox212003]

This song is so ridiculously catchy that I can go days without hearing it yet it fills my mind. I will catch myself singing it and then I have to go listen to it, rinse lather repeat....

[@lauracassidy5044]

... i am absolutely addicted to these two & their mad musical chemistry! Pure sorcery ... in the best sense of the word! ❤️🎶💕

[@elizabethdimauro7881]

This song came across my path maybe five months ago and I've been slightly obsessed with it ever since.

[@fred120364]

Impossible for me to watch without clapping hands, stomping feet and wearing that smile... a real energy source! Thanks to Shakey and his fellow performers!

[@squarletsmom]

I can't stop listening to this song and watching this performance. I love the official video but this faster version of the song is more to my liking :-) *Definitely a new Shakey Graves fan!

[@eTownRadioShow]

squarletsmom Glad that you like it. It is one of our favorite performances of the last year!

[@junerose7769]

Yup you're right

[@darrenp1549]

The verse starting with in the midnight hour is NEVER the same which I LOVE

[@heidimeade237]

One of the greatest "are they or aren't they?" videos in KZbin history.

[@leodee3214]

She's really in love with this song! She's everything....

[@dreamwell2020]

"Well, I'm all growed up now - I don't scare easy no more." And we're all the better for it.

[@haroldhausman1672]

This song is such a good time. So refreshing. I absolutely love these two.

[@Dirthawker611]

Esme has such a beautiful voice. She is really talented.

[@Skrunch123]

Both of them are so incredibly talented - both individually and then also together, the chemistry and harmony are definitely among the best of the best. Love you guys! Feel free to make an entire album together one day 😜

[@ClueFinderDirtDigger]

they're so fucking otherworldly together. love this song, this performance; what a timeless piece of art.

[@awakenedbyadream3253]

Major chemistry! Thank you all for this beautiful performance!

[@Backflips4Bonghits]

By far the best recording/version of this song. The energy, the tempo...they absolutely nailed this.

[@UAPbigfootandBOATDRINKS]

the drummer is an ANIMAL. Straight up ANIMAL. Amazing.

[@wellergurl]

CUTE....CUTE....CUTE!!!!! That Esme is freakin' GORGE !!!!! Voice like honey and cigarette smoke.

[@annawhite3789]

[@christopherwallace8000]

Ain't she though?

[@lauracassidy5044]

Wellergurl ... i am forever going to use that there line to humbly describe mY vOice❤️... this Esme is absolutely adorable! ... i,m gonna stUdy her, for sure!

[@xthesamesonx]

i would kill for his guitar skills. amazing song as well as the entire album

[@yesss8891]

Hm

[@margaretgraves5109]

Love the energy & the lyrics of this song. Also it makes me giggle especially the reference to the snake 😆 🤣

[@carloscortegoso7699]

Wow!!!...I was in bed at night with my iPad, and a minute after I was stand up and dancing ...my girlfriend looked at me and said: are you crazzy!!!....I said: nop, I am happy. Brilliant!!

[@alexterrel9594]

Carlos Cortegoso women. Lol :)

[@027tommy1]

Why cant I stop smiling?!!! This song makes me so happy! Thank you!!

[@dbelew]

I dare anyone to watch that and not smile. And who in the hell is that drummer. Fantastic!

[@annawhite3789]

I found him about a year ago, can't stop watching his music. Amazing artist.

[@siouxpeden3353]

Can I like this a thousand times ? Great chemistry !

[@benthicbread]

Incredible! I was blown away a few weeks ago when this song came on the radio. And, this is better yet! Love the chemistry onstage.

[@__m__e__]

That drummer was working his ass off too!

[@nadominhoca]

Shakey and Ryan Bingham are the gems of the "New Americana" Genre... both grew up in Texas!

[@jasonungs442]

Bingham 💯

[@54Wde]

First off great performance!! I would like to see more shows with these two. They compliment each other very well and have a great vibe!. Keep up the good work!!

[@erikdixon8464]

AHHH IM ONLY 30 SECONDS IN AND THIS IS AMAZING!!! This song makes me so happy my god.

[@orangutanman1]

This is pure joy to watch and listen to. Love this tune, but this is the best version of it. Must have been cool to be there in the audience clapping along! Shakey Graves, come to the UK!

[@qdee6250]

[@9thchild358]

Her voice is intoxicating.

[@SpareChangeTV]

Listening in my car and holy shit it’s bumping

[@chipsterb4946]

All 3 of them are having such a great time - I just can’t stop smiling!

[@jshowen1]

Esme is devastatingly beautiful

[@TheShadowKarl]

I agree a hundred percent. She has that something that draws people to her and a fabulous smile.

[@STEAMLabDenver]

She is sweet and smart too. 😉

[@leigh7507]

@@STEAMLabDenver for sure. I think she's a librarian as well

[@channeltheelizabeth]

Damn get it drummer, get it! Haha

[@JazenValencia]

Awesome duet.

[@kelleylastname5548]

Shakey’s boot just all wanting something to kick. And you gotta be a badass drummer to drum for a dude who does his own kick beats.

[@MrJackWorse]

this is so fun!

[@carlahelin5203]

Fun!!!

[@guitarhanson]

LOVE this!

[@Chrisruffolo81]

[@terrypakish4392]

the real deal

[@grantcopeland8608]

I dig it👍👍

[@cloicloi2383]

esme is sooo beautiful :D

[@AlSwegen]

One of my favorite tunes ever... but disappointing that Esme didn't get recognized (or even mentioned) at the end. The banter and harmony that makes this song sincere is missing without her. Watch the "Pandora Exclusive" vid and you'll know what I mean. Or just watch any version that doesn't have Esme in it...

[@deepstopdiving]

I love esme

[@aayushroy0609]

Pelvic thrusts @ 00:49

[@ClueFinderDirtDigger]

Esme's nearly convinced me to chop off sixteen inches of my hair, too xD

[@ThinkingInTheAir]

Love

[@RobertSmith-uq3qg]

New music is really good if you know how to find it
