Hot Water Music - State Of Grace - CARDINAL SESSIONS

Last week Hot Water Music played a sold out show at the FZW in Dortmund. Chuck thought it would be cool for the band to perform a spontaneous, unannounced acoustic set before the show - exclusively for Cardinal Sessions (and the lucky fans waiting outside).
#chuckragan #hotwatermusic #cardinalsessions
They played two songs from the new album "Exister", their first in eight years. Critics agree that both songs, "State of Grace" and "The Traps", embody Hot Water Music at its best: "What more is there to say? They are and remain Hot Water Music."
It took a few moments before the people waiting outside realized just what was happening. But as you can see at the end of "State of Grace", it didn't take long for people to realize just how lucky they were to witness such a rare, intimate moment - captured for you in two videos.

[@atlasreign4783]

I think you'll like "Cold Beer" by Jesse Stewart That particular song is sung with the only voice that could sing it

[@mikederyder3885]

Lol😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@TotalFN]

Chuck is the man... After a show in 2002, as I joke I asked Chuck to punch me in the stomach so I could tell everyone that I took a shot from the burly Chuck Ragan. He did (hard I should mention) and today is that day...10 years later. Long live HWM

[@ultimatewarrior1612]

Here 19 years after the event.. has the bruise gone away yet??

[@GEORGIABOY23]

What city?

[@andreyzaycev1992]

Круто парни, очень круто! Cool guys, very cool!

[@TheOnlyBowl]

Ragan's voice is the first set of vocals I've heard in a long time that has the ability to make all my hair stand on end. It's so incredible.

[@MrZikList]

right? this guy got something. i recommend you listen to some tom gabel's solo work if you like those kind of voice !

[@TheOnlyBowl]

MrZikList I've never heard of him, but I'll give him a shot!

[@MrZikList]

***** Him/her yes. now a she. but before a he. but who cares. it's not a he/she, it's an it! and its so fucking amazing. haha. Just discovered chuck tho, and he is punching me right into the feels.

[@MrZikList]

[@Peninaa85]

[@GarageInc723]

This is the best version of this song, hands down

[@callahan9119]

Voice of a lion!

[@KOL630]

Saw him live last night was awesome. I hear he consumes a mixture of pea shingle gravel and razor blades for breakfast daily 😅

[@KVGerudo]

[@TheHorseBodies]

[@DrewLagoon]

I've really liked them for years, but their new record really made me love them.

[@garrydavies6337]

Fantastic version of a brilliant song. Chuck's voice is sounding immense. So powerful! Great stuff.

[@vladsteponstepoff1159]

[@totalimmortal157]

Chuck has one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. I love Hot Water Music so goddamn much.

[@Gandhi4055]

[@pauldube88]

The Throat Cancer Duo presents :)

[@che11lives]

Best comment

[@thesecret1742]

***** not even one cigarette, but don't ask of how many barrels of whisky

[@K2thC]

***** hes gone on interview and said he smoked heavily for 20 years. so id say a hell of a lot

[@drhambone1598]

Sean Conroy smoke, drink and sing vocals for 20 years straight. look at Blake Schwarzenbach [jawbreaker] he ended up having to have vocal chord surgery from singing so loud.

[@robertofeeble]

BRASIL!!!!!! 12 AND 13 OCTOBER YEAHHH

[@adrianquirino]

State of a great song!!!!

[@Sailor1010]

I feel like he is just about to run out of breath each time is bellows a verse. I guess this is what pure passion is all about.

[@alaprise900]

Amazing version. Wish I could put it on repeat.

[@finnrabermusic]

His vocal chords be like: MERCY DUDE, MERCY!!! D: D:

[@northofnowhere]

Beautiful!

[@samrapine4615]

Dudes meeting up out of focus around 0:45 adds to this perfectly.

[@marcodag9177]

[@fcotapiafrom1980sstreet]

Since a saw this amazing acoustic version , I love it..powerful and real interpretation ..they don't need lights or great places so thanks ,I can appreciate the sunset lights in the middle of video it is excellent for me..

[@BRBSESSIONS]

Oh, I, for one may not shy, Away from the fact that I'm sick, And too tired to stand this, It all seems contagious. I know a few would back that up, Can't say a few is not enough, skip a beat in this motion sickness. Who’d second that emotion? Our state, Our state, Our state of grace is gone. Our state, Our state, Our state of grace is gone. Oh, I for one don't want to die, Old and in the way from poison. 'Cause I hate the taste of medicine, We all hate the taste of medicine. I know a few would back that up, Can't say a few is not enough, skip a beat in this motion sickness. Who’d second that emotion. Our state, Our state, Our state of grace is gone. Our state, Our state, Our state of grace is gone away. Our state of grace is crumbling, I fear we're good for nothing, simply disintegrating into the terra firma. Our state, Our state, Our state of grace is gone. Our state, Our state, Our state of grace is gone. May we combine tradition, Science and innovation. To benefit what's ailing, Our state of grace is gone.

[@Spazie]

one of my favorite bands of all time. watched them the first time in baltimore and just loved the energy they have and go to their shows whenever they're in md/va/dc or anywhere close by. hope to see them again soon.

[@achtungbaby28]

Chuck looks so much like Gerald Butler

[@Nathan2536]

[@MrWednesday136]

2:06...dave hause in the background??

[@sarachuckles6473]

Hmmm, I think it's not dave

[@ryannestmann652]

nah. Not enough tattoos lol

[@slightsloan]

I always see Chuck playing that same guitar. Could someone tell me what kind it is?

[@guymcdude2137]

U guys hear him screaming right? Imagine him blowing the microphone at the revival tour 2013. U can ask all the ppl at the revival tour. They'll tell u 'it was loud'.

[@ricecreaminal9699]

Never heard such a great voice since kurt cobain !

[@aidanmartin2984]

So im not disagreeing but kurt cobains voice was actually awful, it sounds good but he didn't know how to sing. He was actually destroying his voice every time he sang. If he was still alive today his voice would be awful.

[@marcosvallefreitas2669]

"We all hate the taste of medicine" !!!!

[@by.flocky4800]

2020?

[@bartzpiu8536]

[@tvalla]

[@vitorzeiss6305]

[@valeriasayaka1814]

[@normanprice6265]

Valeria Sayaka chuck ragan the main singer or Chris Wollard doing the extra parts?

[@jraaiid]

[@АлександрВоронин-у7р]

[@Taanrocks]

Pretty sure Chuck Ragan's vocal chords are made of sandpaper.
