His voice is amazingly unique... it’s piercing yet soft... and makes me think of an old 1920’s phonograph recording (in the best way possible)

[@lardjass4146]

It’s his vibrato 😫🙏🙏

[@suelisc14]

I feel the same

[@cornhead777]

I used to think it was a female voice, but knowing that it’s a male makes it even more amazing

[@JasGoodgameJamzYuh]

Jeff Buckley essentially

[@TheLowest]

He's super similar to jeff buckley

[@kaitlynself6692]

idk if this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the acoustic version is better then the original

[@joshuakramer3364]

I agree. Both are good don't get me wrong, but yea. I agree.

[@davebilodeau8326]

They seem to convey different emotions. The acoustic has a perfect delicate tenderness to it. Love them both.

[@Gunner4210]

Agreed! My daughter walked down the aisle at her wedding to this version ❤

[@atrainofthought99]

The vibrato in his voice is insane. I get shivers hearing him. And the whole band is incredible. I came here from their audiotree sessions and Flipside never misses. I love their energy and their vibes.

[@ReedRenken]

Flipside

[@tonyameyer6919]

Just heard this at the barbecue on Sunday at a memorial Day weekend party. The grandson of my friend that I went to see at the party was playing the sound and I was like who is this and he told me and I just love this sound mood the vibe wonderful wonderful love it

[@caitlink]

Just turned 18 a few minutes ago. I knew when I first heard this song, I was going to play this at midnight. I remember being 15 and first hearing this and it helped me get through a lot of rough times. Now I play I as a reminder that the world didn’t end when I was 15. I sat in bliss as the clock hit midnight and couldn’t help but to be proud of myself. Maybe I will go back to this song in 10 years and I will see this comment again. But now, cheers to all the good that will arise again.

[@davew.7115]

Live your life to it's fullest potential and seize every opportunity to your benefit young one , I am 57 and live in such a world of regret with lost memories and opportunities missed , Let nothing stand in your way . Take care .

[@I_Dont_want_your_advice]

Woah you listened to music on your birthday, you're so unique

[@jinjinnomscookies]

I'm proud of you. Self actualization is the greatest gift you can you give yourself. It's special to have it so early. You'll go far.

[@Burntout.toust123]

I just turned 15 and listened to this song as the clock ticked it was like a weight of all this year gone..... I'm happy I get to listen to it, as I feel like it saves my life.

[@altereagle]

well I’m glad I’m awake at 3 AM for this. nice work guys, it’s a beautiful arrangement - much love from Australia!

[@katjackson5777]

Still awake st 3AM

[@nataIieatbest]

altereagle! my fav hippo content creator

[@ShiftyWolf117]

Omg I did not expect to see you here at all but so glad you are here. I've been hooked on their music for the past few months.

[@froteet]

Holy shit. That guys voice is so... not like his appearance. It's like a siren luring me to a watery grave oml

[@terenceokane]

I've been listening to them for the past 3 days. His voice is ridiculous. The musical arrangements are fantastic, I can't believe how young they are!

[@puckman_deluxe]

The violinists... then just when he says “August Honey...” omg I seriously love this song

[@occasionalfilm7453]

Can’t tell you the number of times I’ve sung/screamed to this song in the car. Never once until this point have I looked into the artists themselves. Absolutely astounding. Going to have to see you guys in Dallas! This song has brought comfort to my most melancholy of afternoons.

[@MANGOBOMBSQUISHIES]

This is the best car song hands down. It’s been the car song since I’ve heard it. I don’t drive unless it’s on.

[@saltysweettart8873]

This song means so much to me. When me and my girlfriend had just started texting (before we started dating) I asked her what kind of music she liked and she sent me this song. As soon as I heard this song I fell in love with it. Then we shared so much more music with each other over time as we grew closer and started dating. We were also listening to this song when we kissed for the first time. This song always makes me think of her. I’m so glad I have it. This song is so underrated. More people need to hear it.

[@hannahyoder5975]

Hit me in the feels why don’t u, that’s so sweet

[@gaurivaliyodiyil2430]

i hope you guys are happy together :)

[@saltysweettart8873]

[@Pizzapieeye]

This made my heart so happy

[@emmy444x]

omg stop. this is so cute. i love that

[@LeslieGarciaHIOOPS]

The way this makes me feel is overwhelming

[@annahudnall5850]

This deserves so much more recognition. . . absolutely and astoundingly beautiful, there's no better word to describe it. Just beautiful.

[@aaliyahayana4236]

This is just incredibly beautiful 😦 my heart melts whenever I come across pure talent such as this. Really motivates me for some reason

[@jayden1160]

lyrics :) [Intro] August, honey Tasted sweeter with you Sticky fingers From your old residue [Verse 1] Do you remember You used to breathe so loud Do you remember The taste, the sound And it sounded so damn good And it tasted just like it should [Chorus] We don't talk about it We don't have the time We thought love was something We weren't meant to find But now you're a stranger And I'm still July But don't you remember August, honey, you were mine [Bridge] Well I've loved you from the start And I've loved you from the start [Chorus] We don't talk about it We don't have the time We thought love was something We weren't meant to find But now you're a stranger And I'm still July But don't you remember August, honey, you were mine [Bridge] Well, you were mine And you were mine Well, you were mine [Chorus] We don't talk about it We don't have the time We thought love was something We weren't meant to find But now you're a stranger And I'm still July But don't you remember August, honey, you were mine

[@caitlinxrhodes]

Omg this literally gave me chills. Everyone is so talented. I’m obsessed with this song

[@riversonghiro]

my best friend and i listen to this song minimum 3 times a day and BLAST it while we're baked as hell and we fucking would DIE for this song this is our anthem we love u guys

[@kristieyan3119]

it’s true I am literally the best friend

[@chelsey8737]

I love his voice. Its so cool

[@jkatttt1699]

Discovering this in August 2023, living in this working class dread, late stage capitalism, liminal space just waiting for the end to begin. Thinking of past loves and a future we were never promised and never will come to be. We don't talk about it, we don't have the time, we thought love was something we weren't meant to find. But now you're a stranger and I'm stilll July. But do you remember August honey, you were mine? .... maybe future commenters can let me know how the next ten years go. I'll be in some August long past with my honey. Perfect under the sun.

[@hannahyoder5975]

His speaking voice: 🥺🥰 His singing voice: 🥺🥰😎😩🥵🙌😯😶🤯🤤😨☺️

[@lilithlikethedemon]

we met in august last year and fell in love, august 1st 2020 you’re a stranger you’re gone and I still love you I miss you so much august doesn’t feel right without you, I am sorry

[@AnnaKwonda]

I've never heard anything more beautiful in my entire life. The latest 1,000+ listens of this song on Spotify is just from me.

[@jshea734]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Spotify just served me up this beautiful arrangement and now I'm making sure to see you guys in SF next month. Thank you.

[@102phia]

this song is something i can’t describe. it means so much to me and it’s like nostalgic in a way?? idk i just love it so so much

[@Yotop-ch3wc]

It’s VERY nostalgic not only for loves we’ve lost but if you’re a 90s millennial, like myself, this song reminds us of the bands in the early 2000s we were listening to in high school… before becoming an adult and venturing into the world. It’s a great song.

[@laestherminator]

Thought his voice was a gal's.......insane talent

[@aciesongbird]

I've been listening to this version of the song for over a year now, and it's still one of my favourite songs of all time. I'm a writer, and whenever I feel stuck, I always know this song can help me get out of my rut. A few days ago I decided to write a short story based on this version, and I'm starting it now :) Wish me luck!

[@danielrutter1164]

I didn’t think this song could get any better, but well here we are, a brilliant song turned into an even more soft and sweet beat.

[@cara8774]

Discovered this over half a year ago and yet it’s still one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. To me, it captures nostalgia, melancholy so well...truly spectacular. Forever on my top favorites

[@angelicacelestino9882]

DUDE I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG I AM IN SHAMBLES RN

[@brittneyholcomb3478]

IM MAD I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT YALL WHAT

[@laurendariangarcia4587]

[@beta_byte]

bruh this is on a whole new level, underrated af

[@WealdsOfGold]

this is how I imagine a violin would sound if they were a person

[@welcome159ify]

Absolutely amazing! If I ever get married, I think I’m gonna use this as my wedding song.

[@khueluu8500]

The song just blows my mind every time I put my earphone in. It is just so inspirational to me, feel like my energy bar is recharged now. Thank you for making this beautiful piece of music

[@JackiePearl]

Currently, my favorite fcking song. xoxxx

[@blahber222]

guess what? it’s august. thank you. also thank you spotify’s discover weekly for this. wow. please keep making music. please visit detroit. ♥️♥️♥️

[@mcr00kes]

This piece always reminds me of a scene by the river, having a picnic and a nice, warm, sunny day. Very chilled.

[@ilya-1379]

So gorgeous! Can't stop listening for a week in a row. Got the same feeling when I hear The Lumineers for the first time about 6 years ago. Hope you will be more popular :)

[@andrewheiser1642]

Chills. You guys are the best

[@JonahThaon]

This version is more moving than the original recording. It deserves more views.

[@bruizzz13]

I’m high asH right now and this song always invokes emotions I haven’t felt in a very long time. Reminds me of a time when I dated the girl of my dreams for a short time throughout August and how it ended after that month. Now it’s just distant memories from years ago but god do I miss it..

[@rachelcanning4905]

Um?? Are you kidding?¿? This is so beautiful !! 2:35??? Chills.

[@madeleinep.828]

I miss that feeling I got when I heard this song for the first time. I immediately knew it would be one of my new favorite songs, and it definitely has considering how I've known it for about two months and have still been coming back to it just about every day. I think I already said this on the official video (goes to show my obsession with the song), but my boyfriend showed it to me, and I had absolutely no idea how I had never heard of it before. It's like one of those songs you love so much instantly that you just feel betrayed about the fact that no one has ever shown it to you, or it was never recommended to you on Spotify or something because it's perfect for you, you know? Anyway, this song will always make me think of my boyfriend, especially because he showed it to me around the time where we first became an "official" couple, if that makes sense, and that day was so perfect. It wasn't even in August, but I don't care. I know I'm rambling, but I don't talk nearly this much in real life, and I just wanted to get this out somewhere, but I guess I have no way of truly expressing how much this song means to me since I'm not very good with words. Kept short: I love this song and I love my boyfriend. So much.

[@lamaharezka]

you raw feeling I can feel it too 😭 so damn good at the first I heard this song. Something I can't rewind 😥

[@learningasigo1111]

My husband was born and died in August....he took his own life... its a bittersweet month for me. Thanks for the sweet song💜

[@sabinagasanova5859]

This is the best thing I’ve ever heard

[@RedBeardEugene]

Found this song this fall and it was the perfect feeling for a peaceful fall with a new baby here. One of my all time favorite songs already. Thanks for the amazing music!

[@kman4793]

No disrespect intended but I totally thought the blonde was going to be the lead singer, then come to find out this dude has the voice of an angel loving this vibe

[@davisjdiaz]

Goodness gracious this song literally brings me to tears, i love it i love it i love ittt

[@axolotl_aristotle]

Has no one considered remixing this with august taylor swift??? Please I really need to hear it. Like do you remember(from this song) remember when I pulled up and said .... idk I think it'll sound really cool

[@Philosempathy]

Cause this August is in a different galaxy than Ms swiftie's

[@lindsaybannister7377]

His voice is amazing, reminds me of Carly Simon, Linda Perry, and Dougie Mandagi all put together. Love this song so much.

[@xanthek1842]

Wow. I didn’t know it could get any better than the original. This is beautiful. Your voice is lovely. ❤

[@hortenciagonzalez6081]

I cry to this song every time ♥️ I love it so much, it touches my heart & soul ♥️♥️ I play this at least 20 times a day :’)

[@roadnurse5313]

Exceptional. Period.

[@engrfka]

I listened to this song first on spotify and I immediately got Tracy Chapman vibes, and I got a pleasant shock just like with the band Cigarettes after sex. This vocalist is unique

[@marianaarista2242]

I literally loovee this song 🌒💜

[@littleolbear]

Probably my favorite track off of Citrona, and this arrangement is abso fucking lutely gorgeous. Very nice!!!!!!

[@caraliiina8453]

i love this one more than the original version, there's just a different depth to it and it just sounds so organic and lovely and moving :))

[@chenthehobbyist.2285]

Why do I like this acoustic version more. 😩💙

[@clarkendres5858]

As much as this song and video is amazing with covering all the beauty that is going on with all the instruments, I'd love to watch just a video of just Dillon singing this. I have no idea where he pulls that voice from, but its pretty mind bottling and still trying to wrap my head around it. Pretty incredible.

[@eden32]

AAAA! I wish I'd heard about this sooner! This is like my fav song thank y'all. It sounds beautiful

[@a.v.2491]

Original and Acoustic version of this is SOO GOOD

[@zeke305.]

[@thomaswells3426]

I almost couldn't believe that's his actual voice. Its so strong and sweet.

[@bleachpong]

Happy Aug 1st two years later 👋

[@samallen8566]

this at one point about a month ago shuffled onto my spotify and i haven’t been the same since, this song is absolutely soul shattering in the best way possible, his voice is beautiful and the music is so sweet, it sounds so good and makes me feel more alive than i’ve felt in awhile and i haven’t heard something as good as this in a long time

[@jessedh4]

Ok so go listen to "Poppies" from their Sugarshack session, then August and Six Below from their Audiotree set, then Nickel from their Jam in the Van set. Shows the insane ability of this dude's voice (and great talents of the band). Then listen to their album Shadowglow

[@Florist-k7l]

I absolutely love your music ❤ I'm inlove

[@ninagoldberg1360]

Literally crying
