James Mercer - Australia (Endsession)

I wish James Mercer would release an acoustic album. He's brilliant.

Just dropping a comment to signify that the Shins and Broken Bells are still wonderful and significant to me. Mercer is a gift to us all.

[@derrikferguson3219]

Holy shit I love this. My favorite poet right now.

[@TheMrmarcmarc]

Probably my fav Shins song, I remember just replaying this constantly while taking my long walks in the sun here in Australia. It seemed written for the occasion. The songwriter in me listens to this and feels that bittersweet joy and inadequacy that listening to a truly exceptional song brings.

[@madmanfashions1349]

Well said.

[@marcusavelarrr]

In Mercer we trust.

[@daff1965]

Wow...what a singer, songwriter, performance...

[@rj_ramon]

Holy shit man! I feel like I could just cry right now

[@mack645]

My favorite version of this. He's such an excellent writer. Just great story teller.

[@selfgratification]

and with all those bar chords at that!

[@deslokkk]

So good...amazingly good, I could listen to this over and over... (I actually have). Brilliant songwriting, and that guitar sounds so clean... :)

[@shirley41126]

I love this song more than life.

[@HollieBlack]

Squeee! He's adorable! This song means more to me than I need to admit, but it's something super special to me.

[@RoberioRoberioRoberio]

Oh my dearly

[@vin_9337]

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

[@aimtcb]

[@katielamoreaux2]

me too! I am so excited!

[@styleexteriors5817]

My favorite!

[@ShortShanks27]

Learning this song on my guitar changed my life, I think...or at least started me off on a different course after my ex-girlfriend left. I get to see the Shins in 8 days!

[@mack645]

The Smiths? Please....

[@butterscotchbiscuitagdolls3177]

Switching around some lyrics I see :)

[@Britishface]

I think my views make up roughly 1/5 of the views so far on this video. Too fantastic. Sidenote: This is most certainly my most favorite song to sing in the shower.

[@SeriouslyRoss]

I guess nobody noticed until the vids with the blue background were uploaded.

[@robertscott5550]

Hello 👋

[@TheMijoAaron]

How does he make it sound like there’s 2 guitars? I’m new to playing the guitar. Is he just picking the top string then playing the rest right after?

[@RobertFBrophy]

Exactly that, with a little more fluff to make it sound beautiful. Just practice your picking mate, you'll get there. Your picking hand is where all the rhythm is made, i believe in you.

[@TheMijoAaron]

Robert Brophy thx man :)

[@ian_s9382]

I can’t figure out what that chord is at 0:30 someone please help😭

[@stokednsmoked]

that's just an E

[@ian_s9382]

@@stokednsmoked it looks like he’s barring with his pinkie tho, also good music taste

[@stokednsmoked]

@@ian_s9382 not sure about the pinkie but that’s definitely an E, he’s just playing it higher on the neck

[@Partyparth]

pro-ness!

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

Time to put the ear covers on? NO!
