This band's passing hits me hard, music really spoke to me. Such young and talented dudes, RIP.

[@naywithnad]

i have to agree. not all music speaks to me but theirs really did

[@benken10]

Me too. Amplified when music touches your soul and Hers were quite wonderful at that. RIP gentle men.

[@dropelaves]

I didn't even know them before, but I've been listening to their music these past 5 or 6 days...sometimes it's hardwrenching, thinking about what their family must be passing through. Really makes me sad, they really seemed like very sweet people and talented musicians for sure.

[@nowhereofficial2330]

This band meant a lot to us as a band. Their music nurtured our writer's block. It cradled us in difficult times. It made us reminiscent of beautiful moments we had on the road. We are absolutely heartbroken at their untimely passing. Our deepest condolences to their family, friends, and fans alike. Take these beautiful people as an example of what it means to fall in love with your art and dedicate your life to it.

[@betonkevero6823]

They both play really goody but look at the bassist. Like he lived in another dimension, so passionate.

[@tylerdphoto]

He sounds exactly the same playing live that awesome.

[@alpinesnow]

i hope they're playing this song just as beautifully as they played it here where ever they are now. Ste, Audun, I miss you everyday. We miss you. I hope you're showing off your music to everybody on the other side and they love it as much as we did when you were earthside. Please remember how much we loved you.

[@katiedunk4901]

My sixteen year old daughter introduces me to the best music I’ve ever heard. Her’s is Magic. Magic music. I’ll forever listen to their music in honor of them !!

[@Daaaliett]

This was one of the most beautiful songs I've heard, I feel really sad for them, so young and talented. My thoughts are with their family, lots of love.

[@babelD]

I only discovered this song recently and it gripped me. I started looking up Her's and when I read about their tragic deaths I broke down in tears. It is so heartbreaking for their families and friends. They were so talented and I'm sure they were full of hopes and dreams on that tour. Thank you both for making this song. ❤

[@boomah47]

I hope you two are still jamming up there with a smile on your faces. Rest easy you legends.

[@ianconklinmusic]

Only if they hadn’t played those extra songs at their last show. They’d still be jamming out.

[@13IanDemons]

That's it. I've keep coming back every month for the past 6 years to hear this version of the song & and every time I see it. I can't help but feel angry. It really wasn't their time. They had so much more ahead of them. Please. Never drink & drive.

[@rachelbaggins3650]

This is a really pretty song and his voice is so deep and lovely and the bassist is really endearing. They seemed like great guys. They remind me of Frodo and Sam here. A really sad loss

[@thedrivinghouse]

I have the name of this song tattooed on my arm. I love this band and will remember these two beautiful humans forever

Reading all the comments has me so emotional. So many people that got a rare feeling from their music they all felt like sharing a few words not knowing if anyone else would read them. Just trying to send positivity out into the world.

[@TheMikeyH123]

Used to listen to this song every day on the train before work. RIP boys, such a shame your talent and love was taken so soon :(

[@desireecrislip1545]

Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever heard this song. It stopped me in my tracks because it’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. So saddened to realize they have passed. A feeling of devastation has consumed me and I can’t explain it

I´m sad. Never heard about you guys before. Hearing about your death makes your music alive for me . And I love your music! Rest in Peace

[@holyfuckity101]

I had two chances to see them live. My first chance I had to work my second night job and wasn’t able to go but gave the tickets to my best friend. She had a blast. The second chance was the day they passed. I remember being confused why they didn’t post on their story all day. But all I remember is being excited regardless seeing them live and getting hopefully the chance to meet and talk with them even for a minute. I hope they’re happy on the other side I can’t wait to meet them then❤️

[@gabrielledennis549]

Well, this was it. This is the video that got me hooked to Her's. Words cannot describe how I feel, but I must say that I will forever be grateful. Even though it's been about a year after their death, I still haven't forgotten them. And I'll always remember them. Forever

[@robbietomkins6977]

Its really a crime to music that these two were taken away. I don't listen to a lot of rock music these days but her's was definitely on the list.

[@2019toyotacamrytrius]

It hit hard when these guys passed away. One of the few bands that I liked all their songs. I took up the guitar after watching the video of Harvey on the boat in Austin and since then I’ve learned most of their songs including this one. I was planning to go to one of their concert before the accident. I would’ve liked to show them the appreciation they deserved and how much their music had an impact on me. They were just beginning to get the attention they deserved, what a shame. RIP Stephen and Auden ik they’re somewhere up in the sky jamming out.

[@MuratKoyash]

I feel sad, like i missed someone really important to me, someone that i knew in previous life, that i didn't meet this time, and will never able to... rest in peace. I hope there is a place where i can meet all the people i lost and loved and speak with them about everything

Wow, I really don't know what to say. I have been listening to Her's for the past year now, only on Spotify. I knew a couple of songs and this one aways was my favorite. It was today that I finally decided to look them up on KZbin and when I read through the comments my heart was broken. At first I thought they split up or something, but then I looked up the tragedy. They were such great musicians and now their music means even more to me. May they rest in peace.

[@mochi802]

The guitarist’s stinkface is just the best. Such passion from both these fellas every performance I watch. I learned today. What Once Was helped me not give up my run the other day. The song has such a good pace it makes your body loop. From this stinky Earth, thank you for the boost of life, of workout, of guitar playing ! 🪔

[@carolinagomes7929]

I can only relate Stephen's voice with Ian Curtis, somehow. I just discovered this band, two years after their tragic passing. I just want to believe they're playing tonight, somewhere in town. Rest in melody, rest in power sweet Audun and Stephen. Thank you for this gift.

[@camolas78]

I'm sad... discovered these guys today!... just to know they are not with us anymore :'( I love their music!

[@jgdacashman]

The last banned I listened too which I both enjoyed and felt personally connected with was Bombay Bicycle Club. Only once every few years does this feeling occur. This band was a very recent addition to that list. To find out they passed away so recently and so tragically is a damn shame. I will never stop recommending their music. If it’s the only way I can honor their memory.

Been listening to this band’s music more and more lately, probably a few weeks now. This music has infected my brain with its bassline and the beautiful lyrics and singer’s voice. Reading the comment section only now made me aware of their untimely deaths. This is so tragic, I was looking forward to hearing more of their music and perhaps seeing them live one day. These gems on KZbin will have to suffice. RIP.

[@pillar9925]

I really don't understand how these two guys have moved so many people in the way they did, with their passing. Incredibly unfortunate, and i remember how me and my flat mate cried for hours on the kitchen floor after hearing that they had passed. At the time I hadn't listen to more than one of their albums yet it hit me harder than I've experience when other musicians who I've loved have passed. My admiration and love for this duo grows with each day, and whilst I'm sad for not having seen them in person, I'm incredibly thankful for the live shows that are available online for us to look back on. "Nobody seems to really know This feeling's getting overgrown"

[@KIt-yn9gk]
