[@ragan33]

[@amybochenek8616]

2015 - The Year of Misty

[@deborahlally8]

tyler william veness and every year since...aimless shapeshifter, and sacred iconoclast to boot.

[@coreybaker6612]

Okay, I'm officially in love with FJM from now on.

[@rodrigoromeu2789]

oooooooooOOOOOOoooooooo ohhhhhhhhhh ooooooh

[@manhadenovo]

This is fucking comforting

[@cullencochran3393]

Can’t believe this was 5 years ago

[@lIlIIIlIIIIll]

He is really blowing my mind... I could listen this version everyday!!!!

[@HarryDuns]

Really excellent sound on this live recording, so warm and three dimensional! Good job, sound engineer (and the band of course)!

[@anamance4907]

Ohhh and ohhh

[@BlueGodMusic]

easily inherited all the Fleet Foxes fans

[@IntuitiveMediums]

Oh Geez. This Track is Awesome. The Band Sounds Killer! QUALITY

[@mjjames2442]

Johnny Misty. He’s like the guy on the yacht. Giving yacht vibes.

[@tahtamanggala5139]

My mind was indeed blown by this song. Tillman is my absolute favorite so far!

[@Orrbitinc]

Ive had this album for over a month and I cant stop listening to it. He absolutely killed it in Santa Cruz and I am very much looking forward to seeing him at The Roxy tomorrow night in LA. Get ready cuz this new one is a Fear Fun parallel

[@tyfmmfl]

this song helps me stay sober

[@nicholasjulian4118]

that guitar twang tho

[@torefettuccia]

this version is insanely perfect

[@larstopner2984]

this version of the song is a hundred billion times better than the one on the record.

[@DGB18]

unfortunately you are right

[@s_u_l_f_u_r]

Lars Töpner You could take this version into the album, even with the 'woo' at the end.

[@georgemcnaughton8238]

Lars Töpner i agree

[@iamsleepy]

+Lars Töpner I've found that I enjoy the live versions more than what is on the album.

[@jerometillman4462]

The studio version is amazing, this is just a REALLY good live version. Has a little more kick to it. I actually still prefer the studio version on headphones though.

[@xmrsmarsx]

I love this one.

[@jillian_fitz]

This is such a great performance, I keep coming back

[@steven842684]

He's getting incredibly cool...

[@filipemorna3003]

Love and devotion !thanks...

[@alexandredealmeida6570]

[@runningcoyote9972]

When FJM sing at 2nd of tone, it means he let us to sing at 1st tone.

[@MaxMillion53]

Super Awesome!!!

[@jessejamesburnitt]

Freakin' awesome song, and a really great performance. The band sounds fantastic. Totally lusting after that guitar with the P90s (lead guitarist) - what is that?

[@stevewhetstone5021]

it is the Vandervelde, named after the man playing it. Made in St. Louis by me, Steve Whetstone. Thanks for the lusting.

[@jessejamesburnitt]

Thanks, Steve! That's a beautiful guitar.

[@MegaMolaire]

steve whetstone Saw them in Montreal last night and I couldn't take my eyes off it. A truly stunning instrument with great tone as far as I could ear. Can you elaborate on the woods you used etc?

[@stevewhetstone5021]

the top is a random piece of burl i acquired from south america, not sure about the exact tree species. the core of the body is ponderosa pine. maple neck rosewood fingerboard. thanks for the kind words.

[@williamknell864]

Beautiful instrument. To my eyes and my ears.

[@ericgreen8570]

My god! If this is indicative of the new album...

[@DGB18]

Tillman has done it again! great song

[@moonlight-y9b]

[@betalingsringen]

Boban Spasic I was wondering the same thing, haha

[@stfranck8691]

Boban Spasic done some research, I think it's a pair of Moscot Lemtosh Clear Reply · Edit

[@chuddzy]

Boban Spasic Either the Moscot ones previous stated or Oliver Peoples Sheldrake Sun

[@runningcoyote9972]

Kind of song that only born in once from a decade.

[@TELEthruVOXx]

[@topperharlee718]

The studio/album version should never allowed to be played again....ever!

[@adambarreto456]

[@paxtonsingleton2317]

[@iwantaoctosteponmyneckbut3545]

[@andrewmoonbeam321]

Doesn't sound full enough here. Probably come across well in a film like "Every Which Way But Loose", as a sort of brief interlude.

[@Unplugged70]
