Fink - This Is The Thing

[@olalekanolaniyi4718]

Been listening to this song for 16 years. Every time I need a reset. I come here.

[@bornflippy1]

Me too brother...the music, the lyrics, the whole vibe, just so good. There is at least 1 or 2 Fink songs on the majority of my mixed playlists.

[@Vlodko_S]

Try Agnes Obel - Fuel To Fire

[@Foryou2you]

Yup

[@LindseyLister]

I love Fink, I’ve been listening to this song for 16 years like someone else who commented. It does not age, I love the lyrics. A great one to listen to in the dark.❤

[@ellieaine1496]

Holy shit you know when you just hear the first 3 seconds of a song and it takes you to the exact place and feeling you had when you heard it the first time, this just did that.

[@pluvia13]

every heartbreak..

[@blacklight310]

We break our own hearts

[@NMND.]

Holy shit you know when you just read the first 3 words of a comment and it takes you into rage, because all members of (wo)mankind are morons and unable to grammar correctly? Here, choose wisely: , . - ? !

[@nicoleferrell11]

This friggin comment. Legit my life

[@dannywinfield324]

no other song gives me goosebumps so consistently. incredible.

[@chaycurtin]

[@likestakingpix]

I've listened to this song countless times over the past year and for me, it's that song that I turn to when I'm upset. I just sit here and listen to it, take in his beautiful voice, breath through the words and let the music take me away. I will never get over this song and I am so glad i found it.

[@ma-saracen]

Damn this comment makes me feel really old

[@asiaxena]

It's a damn shame nobody is really listening to lyrics anymore:( This man has the whole package.

[@rickdafrog]

This dude's amazing. Shows you don't need doodlin' to make beautiful music. Miles Davis said it: "Why play many notes when you can play the most beautiful ones?"

[@noirtriptyline]

This is a song so sincere and without even the hint of pretense that its almost painful to listen to. He plays a sleight of hand where he drops the third wall between listener and himself.

[@Theflowoflove]

What a masterpiece.

[@girleatdog]

Thank you Dear John for introducing me to this song! "This Is The Thing" was a perfect fit for the scene and story. I am thrilled to have downloaded his latest album "Sort of Revolution" which is equally as amazing.

[@BBrunnel]

All I've been listening to for days is fink uhh his songs never get old for me

[@daftlizard883]

one of the best "break-up" songs out there

[@thesilvernymph]

This song will always be special to me. Invokes images of my apartment in Brooklyn, chilly weather, and an old, dear friend.

[@Disenchanted09]

omg his voice bares so much of his soul to listeners..... this blows my mind away

[@juantorres-lb1ss]

Ben Howard &' fink would make an amazing song 👌

[@IbrahimJalloul]

Soooo true !

[@9240tony]

Or a baby

[@danielmcbride2375]

Spot on! Or with Angus Stone!

[@Secorad]

YESSSSSS

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

Juan Torres, I was thinking the same thing. Just discovered Fink.

[@JesterfaceBassplayer]

My amazing, unparalleled, genius taste in music brought me here.

[@MANIKO5]

Fink make the most beautiful music, just switch off and empty your mind of all thoughts and troubles, and just listen.

[@hannahahlepoetry]

His songs started popping up on my feed for some reason. Saw him in deaf institute over 10 years ago still one of the best gigs I’ve been to

[@anonymom66]

I just saw Fink do an acoustic show last week. His voice has only gotten better with time. He is AMAZING.

[@artifactis]

It's been ninja tunes for me for 28 years. Thanks for all the good songs..

[@rahulsharma3911]

And I don't know if you notice anything different It's getting dark and it's getting cold And the nights are getting long And I don't know if you even notice at all That I'm long gone, baby, gone, long gone And the things that keep us apart Keep me alive And the things that keep me alive Keep me alone, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing I don't know if you notice anything missing Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor And I don't know if you even notice at all 'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door And the things that keep us apart Keep me alive And the things that keep me alive Keep me alone, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing And I don't know if you notice anything different And I don't know if you even notice at all And I don't know if you notice anything different This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing, mmm This is the thing This is the thing

[@angelbulldog4934]

Perfect song for those of us who have endured narcissistic abuse. "The thing that keeps me alive keeps me alone." Even aloneness or loneliness is better than abuse.

One of my favorite songs... for so many years now. Thank you, Fink.

[@kunalshrivastava1703]

Dear John bring me here. it's so good.

[@kaitlynpineo3690]

Same here!!

[@maciabhengu5048]

Yup me three . Now I love his music ,all of it :D

[@camilarivarola7801]

Pareil! 4 J'adore cette chanson ♥

[@artis98]

[@alistakvorqn9191]

Favorite movie of all time 😇😇😇😇

[@MyMusiclifestyle]

I thought i dindn't like Fink, but i keep getting back at his music. Now starting to be a fan. Its just the atmospehere that his mucis creates, it crawls underneath your skin man, so sweet!

[@__Pre]

9 years ago huh

[@barrykepp6432]

The perfect guitar is a hybrid like a Prius--Classic acoustic! What a tune. Sultry, soulful, painful, primal, folky. Major and minor chords, simple lyrics and instrumentation, buzzing strings, relentless strumming, great vocal. Fink: Go ahead on witcho bad self.

[@lucente17]

He's so deep while singing, as much that I don't understand why he is not famous enough

[@bcisthegreatest]

Lie to Me has an amazing person doing their music.

[@biancasch285]

I just love all his songs... incredible musician... thank you for making our lives a bit more pleasurable ❤

[@nishiaggarwal]

Every time I have to let go and move on from people, places, jobs... I come back to this song - for 17 years now.

[@kleexx200]

I love songs like this with someone singing and a guitar , they show emotion the best , I think this is my new favourite band/artist

[@narkarapetyan]

Shivers up along my spine! I didn't listen to this song, I felt it.Now I am addicted to it...

[@KJT3000]

Legendary song by a Legendary Musician/Producer

[@Vickibell93]

Watchin "lie to me" brought me here and I find this very relaxing after a stressful day! Something to relax ya!!

[@bigerch85]

This connection to music is what makes me happy to have been born. It's a powerful force and I love the many people it has introduced me to. Wherever you are I the world. Whatever your circumstances we are all connected right here right now through this beautiful music. Peace and love people. ✌️

[@nairnmonster]

I've not heard this since December 2007 when I moved into a flat with my best pal. It was meant to be for 2 years... we moved out with our girlfriends 11 years later. Life just flys by now... not long had my 40th. I don't look back at the years with jealously. The person I am now is the happiest I have ever been and it's only gets better (I've never been unhappy, just now is the best). But if I could just time travel back to watch for a day or two, that would be brilliant.

[@HanHan140]

This song is my new found addiction...it has been on replay forever now and I can't stop listening to it

[@lladsbid]

god, i love this song, i just play it continuously whenever i go on the internet im gonna have to get it somewhere, even if it means getting it on a CD

[@donnie881]

this song was at the end of feed me's BBC radio 1 essential mix i found myself listening to the whole 2 hour mix and enjoying this song at the end just as much as the rest of the mix so ...ya feed me & BBC radio brought me here

[@Arcata0]

WOW!!! He is GREAT! Why isn't he a huge star?? This guy is no hippie!

[@radua88ify]

He's coming to Bucharest! Never thought I'll hear him play here

[@scotia2k6]

...you spell my life out with the tembre of your voice - beautific, specifics - they catch us all. Wishing you everything you would wish for yourselves' FINK - so lovely.

[@headphonetribe]

Left s comment four years ago and still a huge fan of this track. Enjoying revisiting this. I bought it long ago, but it’s lost somewhere in the shuffle.

[@nyuske]

Just discovered this gem, gives me the meaning to live, forever grateful to you Sir Fink !!!

[@loganmott2015]

I listened to warm shadow then visited this and realized there are still artists out there that have more than 1 good song:)

[@duncandubberly6389]

I remember first hearing this song when I was a junior in HS back in 07’ when I started getting into obscure indie music and this is still my top 5

[@darcyrox77]

This song makes me cry. Cry because his voice is so natural and beautiful. Cry because it's so emotional and real. I believe this song. ♥

[@411334]

I've been listening to this song since the album came out in 2007. The lyrics have taken a whole new meaning to me since losing my brother. Incredible song.

[@fractalcabbage]

Wow... I've literally just found this and I think I'm in love.

[@donnachase765]

Amazing

[@MartinaEffe]

I can't stop listening to this song♡.♡

[@shutupcaf]

remember hearing this on an advert years ago and couldn't find out where it was anywhere, i'm glad he's getting the success he deserves :)

[@kaaapuchon]

met them this summer, great guys, great music.

[@XODRCUTI3XO]

THE WORLD WE LIVE DEPENDS ON US !

[@iLesspirate]

every Tuesday eve- I travel the traverse that is youtube in search of unknown bands(to myself) and every Tuesday I leave the traverse at the end of my day, a happier man, for I always leave surprised by what I find.

[@jmfpds]

I listened this song when I was watching DEAR JOHN! The song is beautiful and the movie is A-W-E-S-O-M-E! The best I've ever watched.

[@Nickuzzz]

so glad i watch dear john by randomly on the TV

[@cherrylady1234567]

This is the thing. the song that warms my heart and makes me smile. this is it.

[@javs010]

This song is in Dear John! I heard it in the movie, and i fell in love! Ahhhh! Such an incredible song. Love it!

[@frizzy1403]

Dear John brought me here and I have been a fan ever since. Some of my own music is based on the beauty of FINK's. A true inspiration and role model to the world.

[@tracebackdnb4501]

I remember when i discovered him i was in a music shop called HMV in the U.K and i kinda felt like i was willing his hard believer album to be a masterpiece in the sense of it hitting home on a personal level and jesus it did that, i cried to nearly every song on that album and i'm a dude, not afraid to admit this i really did shed a tear from how powerfully close the coincidences where to my own life expierences at that time, loneliness, depression, anxiety all those where personified in that album and it all felt like more than coincidence, anyway have a good day reader, i just wanted to say all that for a long time, fink, you are a genius!

[@pixnixn]

It's been a while since I last heard real music, no bullshit. I believe this guy, great song.

[@nathanskilbeck1495]

I was 19 and lost when I found this band I'm now 30 and still lost but they help everytime listen to em

[@missceilidhjoy]

No idea why it has taken me so long to come across this song. Masterpiece.

[@barbaracasteloes1553]

[@alainlebruchec1171]

great artist , the voice and song amazing..................

[@freddyrose7815]

I remember age 13 thinking this was the best song I've ever heard. I'm 29 now and I can't think of anything that beats it

[@boomtaylor]

the days that keep us apart, keep me alive..

[@sophiewesterink9580]

Wat een geweldig mooi nummer!

[@immehofstra]

This song is in my favorite movie Dear John! And now i'm in love with this song

[@nikkyb]

Thank your posting this. I have tried to see but missed Fink several times. Wow. What a song!

[@__Pre]

Hello

[@croup007]

listening to this makes me feel all mushy inside, i'm discovering emotions i never knew i had

[@ameliedelacotte725]

trop beau ! tu fermes les yeux et...magique!

[@mleaaa11]

Heard this in Dear John & loved it(: Sometimes when you hear a song in a movie, turns out you like it more than if u just heard it somewhere else..Well im ranting point is Beautiful Song

[@Riekeyou]

I also heard it on 'Lie to me', and I just fell for it!! It's just soooo great!

[@ReganForLife]

heard it on the radio..suited my mood..so I had to find the guy...beautiful voice :).. makes me shiver :)

[@AmoghaDalvi]

this is a beautiful, beautiful song. Thankyou Fink.

[@michaeldulay2704]

I remember this song from the movie dear john good movie

[@sweetieluver14]

I know!! I've been searching for hours trying to find all the songs i've heard on the show as i love nearly all of them!! The show rocks!!!

[@arparay1]

I too heard it in.. LIE TO ME.. not doubt.. both the show n the song are awesum! :)

[@Drebe73]

Heard this on Lie To Me as well, knew it was Fink right off the bat, used Shazam on my iPhone to verify. Love his previous album, glad to see he's back with another. He is really an amazing artist.

[@nerakaren007]

i keep on pressing repeat... love that song... it s emotional awesome.. just love it .. :)

[@EricsMyVampirekarlek]

Thank you so much Dear John!

[@donprater6944]

Just discovered this guy from watching an episode of NCIS.... recently bought 3 of this guys albums since.... Not disappointed, this guy doesn't write bad music..... Fucking love it.

[@mrollybeans]

That beautiful mix of jose and newton. Awesome! blammo!

[@sulumailei8839]

another legend

[@-ASH-72]

2007??? I've really been missin' out some of the good stuff huh??? I think it's amazing how those brits can do it in such a southern way... ;-)

[@TheWariorPrincess]

It's cool that you found this song way before all the cool factors added up to it. I admit basically this song is a piece of great music. Just so that you know, not everybody gets the privilege of finding a diamond in the rough but that doesn't mean they appreciate it less than you do. It doesn't change the fact that this song is still inspiring. :)

[@Dwar75]

i love the way this song is produced!! totally what i'd like for my songs! it stays close enough to the simplicity of the duo voice/guitar and yet ,it drives us away into a modern atmosphere.. I am buying a classical guitar for sure very soon :) just love this "bass" sounding! Cheers, David.

[@janelindsey2013]

fink.. is just amazing.. saw him play at Meadowlands 2012! ... i reckon you'll like Apples & Eve and Forestears music! too .. they're both really good..
