James Mercer - New Slang (Endsession)

[@mack645]

Mercer is one of the best lyricists of the last 20 years, IMO. I like his voice, too.

[@craigslistdave2086]

Chilmark Sound I so very much agree.. dare I say it reminds of Bob Dylan I’m writing style/ lyricism!?

[@RobGutmann]

imho the best live acoustic version of this song

[@AlexanderMusic88]

The girl at 3:35 and the way she was enjoying the music nearly brought tears to my eyes.

[@anthonyr587]

I still come back for that moment all these years on

[@jimburkett9799]

This man is a living legend.

[@wrnerd101]

i got to see the shins live and when they played New Slang it was like the most amazing thing i have ever witnessed.

[@splukoes]

holy crap. this guy is gifted. He can really work a mic. What a voice. sic.

[@luckyhillcharm9052]

The Garden State. Thank you Zach and Natalie for introducing this song into my life.

[@ROMANEMPIRE69]

I’m so glad earlier today I finally found out this song. It’s been in my head for years. I just never really paid much attn to artist names back in the day when I never thought a song would stick as great to me. That and I died in sept 2012 and lost a lot of memory from the experience so have lots of bad sectors in my brain like a bad hard drive. 🤪

[@WordUnheard]

Wow. That is a crazy story to happen upon at 11:27 in the PM. I'm glad you're still alive and kicking, and that you finally remembered this amazing song. You should put this one in your head, if you haven't heard it already. It's my favorite song by Manchester Orchestra, and it's a great song to upload into that hard drive in your brain. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpOTnZdod7CLZqM

[@waltermatthewberg]

That crowd is rowdy as fuck

[@PaddyMacNasty]

I basically just rediscovered this song despite the fact I listen to it quite regularly. Started learning it for busking and hadn't really taken in the lyrics until now. I never realised quite how painfully sad it was. Need to go listen to Australia now before I slit my wrists.

[@wwxhaze]

I'll never fully understand why this song makes me cry, but, f-word.. Amazing

[@szamee83]

His voiced guitar solo was so good!

@Rick Hage "whoever disliked this... there is a special circle of hell saved for you" Right on!

[@RobbiePfunder]

Best version.

[@Cyminder]

Great Song!

[@ThePeacemaker5555]

this is the soundtrack of my life

[@RangKlos]

[@manilaboy1vic]

[@gorillashop337]

Amazing

[@Antiquateddiveintome]

Wow

[@P17F0]

I love this

[@setmindinmotion]

releasing this mellow tune over Talland Bay, sun out, gulls in full flight

[@mack645]

@ Chris Mitchell-Lay I can't see how a self proclaimed "audio engineer" would not recognize an EV RE20. One of the most versatile mics ever invented. Great for tenor sax and kick drum, among other things.

[@llanni14]

You missed the point of that comment. They ment "Audio engineer in me" not that they are actual engineers but that they care more than a normal person who wouldn't even bother to ask about the mic.

[@sinceunati]

So fuckin good.

[@snowball4427]

This song has some similarities with " the only living boy in New York"....both are very beautiful.

[@TheSoundLoungeUK]

Absolutely beautifully written song... but the audio engineer is coming out in me... what is that mic?

[@superfloyd]

I was happier then, with no mindsets..

[@robertterry9359]

Hello friend how are you doing today

[@TweezerBleezer123]

The aliens musta abducted this dude and brought him back here leaving him with some sort of chip in the back of his neck giving him the ability to transcend space and time with his energy voice and words. So special

[@lebarosky]

This is a great video. By the way, don't you think the folks who dislike great vids must be like the Nazgul?

[@GrayEmbry]

No, I just think they have different taste in music than I do.

[@robertterry9359]

Hello friend 👋

[@robertterry9359]

Hello friend how are you doing???

[@shirley41126]

[@randomguyoudontknow]

Proof he is not from this universe of ordinary men.

[@Jaxx11B]

[@TheDannycoyne]

I'd love if someone cut the last ten seconds off this video. That girl hollering cuts my ear drums...

[@Britishface]

[@robertterry9359]

[@inside452]

[@timg978]

James Mercer, what happend to your faith?

[@isao306]

Meanwhile autotune and sexual innuendos dominate mainstream music. What a shame.

[@matttcameron_]
