Foster The People - "Houdini" Acoustic (High Quality)

[@purplestarlight3]

That manly voice saying 'X103.5' or whatever is so annoying! freaked me right out!

[@INFJunpopularopinion]

It didnt get me for this one, but my first time I ever listed to a Studio X recording P!ATD acoustic "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off" I was literally YOU, lol.

[@ScootyB525]

When you listen to acoustic music it displays a raw talent and you get to hear that it doesn't suck.

[@leaaa18]

acoustic versions are a filter.. Helps to know when an artist is really really good :)

So, it means that if you want to learn how to play guitar or to compose music it's better to start with a classic guitar, right?

[@jimhendrix7776]

@@anae.frazao5904 it means talent shines with no production!!!

[@AdrianPants]

Had no idea he could sing and play like that. Gained a lot of respect for this band!

[@yandman26]

Sadly selling out to an electric pop vibe is the only way to get noticed.

[@Jaim-]

When I first heard you guys- I thought - Man- that would be so much better in acoustic.... Then a year later I found you in acoustic ..... I love your acoustic versions. And now enjoy your music everyday of my life...and will continue to do so.

[@Its_just_vanessa]

I listen to foster the people now since 12/13yrs one of my fav childhood band they so underrated 🤩

[@raineodin]

Hopefully someone can post the official lyrics somewhere as the ones featured on search results either don’t match or make sense. Went through a whole afternoon cross-examining acoustic covers and live shows to compile the hopefully accurate lyrics of my 2nd fav FTP song.

[@MCSMeister]

If you're talking about the bridge of the song, it has no official lyrics. Mark has stated that he essentially sang gibberish on the studio version, and "assembled some form of English" when they started performing it live. I asked him about it in a Reddit AMA they did a few months ago. Other than that, the rest of the lyrics are in the lyric sheet for Torches.

[@stormrider1049]

@@MCSMeister interesting. I like what they assembled live and still wish they post a full, official transcript cuz the lyrics are dope

[@MCSMeister]

@@stormrider1049 Well that's the thing, there aren't official lyrics for the bridge. You can Google the Reddit AMA if you'd like (I can't post links here) but this is part of what he said regarding the bridge lyrics: "I'm actually not saying anything in the bridge of houdini on the record. Those vocals over that part were from my original demo fo the song and I loved the way they were emoting. When we went in to record the album version with Rich Costey, I wrote lyrics over that part and tried to sing them in but they were clunky. The lyrics kind fo ruined it for me, and I couldn't get back into the magic of what was recorded on the demo, so I just left the old section. Truthfully, I feel that the spirit can communicate more fully than words anyway so I never gave it much thought." Everything except the bridge is in the lyric sheet for Torches if that interests you.

[@stormrider1049]

@@MCSMeister I always felt like I was coping by thinking Mark did that cuz he’s really feeling it the song at the moment. Glad to know there’s some truth in that sentiment. …and he should still post what they’ve played live since it’s consistent, sounds meaningful & great still, and would’ve save a few fans some time during karaoke night lol.

[@reginaldoperfilfake6032]

[@pootershnitzel]

i like this better than the studio version tbh.

[@mizzzlizzz02]

Does anyone know where I can get this version of the song as an mp3?

[@ghostie7790]

Wth is up with all the cuts from the radio station!??

[@kxradio]

@chris71388 Very disappointing, I agree. It's called "spoiling." Back in the old days, some stations did it to prevent competitors from ripping the acoustic versions and also playing them, and also in case the station was going to sell a compilation of the songs. Of course, if they put this on a CD, then it'll be out there anyway.

[@beatrizquitete4916]

The guy's voice saying "x1039" annoyed me. Another good session ruined by that voice. I watched Panic! At The Disco's acoustic session on the same radio, and the same voice came out..... I mean, don't you think the intro and the backdrop are just enough to make people notice the radio? :/

[@willmississippi]

why does "Gavin Rosdell" come up afterwards, as if it's pertinent?? ... umm noo!, I was thinking that, I might wanna hear a little more "Foster The Peo.... u kno what fuk it

[@VamosFalardeAirsoft]

Am I the only one with trouble understanding the lyrics?

[@wesleybrueland]

They aren't so much promoting their station as much as they are putting an audio watermark on the recording, so when people rip it off of KZbin, they still have the credit for the recording. And it's not like it destroys the song completely.

[@brazzzzz]

youtube to mp3 converer. free online

Thank the radio station for ruining the recording.... whisper your radio station over songs, wtf Is that

Rip it? It's not like x1039 can sell this version. It's just an acoustic rendition. It's just a douche bag move to plug your station.
