[@okrunner]

Every note in his music has a purpose in life

[@peternewman1609]

Jose's music sounds like it grew from the earth.

[@madeofmetal94]

it did.

[@tristenhood3167]

Harry beat me to it... Was going to say. It's almost like it did!

[@marianneosielworld]

I LOVE that reflection......and I agree, heart(h)ily!!

[@arcon178]

Ha ha... spot on.

[@laurag5648]

I like your sentiment. But it's mad how we forget that literally everything we do is from/of the earth, we have grown from the earth. 💚💚💚

[@gea5765]

Jose's songs just tear my heart apart so the light can come in

[@tiff7880]

Same...❤

[@robinsonsantizo9023]

Awesome way to describe the impact of his music!

[@leprosinaandco]

The most peaceful moment of the day. I can't wait for the rain and the night to hear them with headphones and loneliness ♥

[@joanneadahk124]

I fell in love with the knife heartbeat years ago . Had No idea that one was inspired by the other. THANK you Cheryl for bringing this band on :-)

[@Throbtometrist]

jake doran people like you make the internet a better place

[@ReneMontiel]

Me thinking 'C h a t t i n g' was a new song or smthn: 🤡🤡🤡

[@listentoryan]

Ugh, Crosses has gotten me through some tough times. So beautiful!

[@heatherdigby1165]

José González y The String Theory es música llena de corazón y alegría. Gracias❤️🌞

[@Chris_in_fremantle]

Doesn't get much more beautiful that this. Cuts into the soul like a razor.

[@sahalamer7279]

Man they sound outstanding.

[@danisoaresduarte]

I hear Cheryl Waters’ voice before video, I know it’s high quality stuff.

[@adamlouiecardwell4610]

Yeah lol... she always gets the gods

[@pondorien]

She seems like a super nice person as well

[@paci802]

Amo tanto a José González, me transporta a otro mundo, su música es de otro planeta.

[@MrHSCHAE]

This is an amazing soundtrack to my secular christmas in lockdown in 2020. I'm alone in my apartment but I'm doing fine cooking and staying in touch with others digitally. José Gonzales's music has something deeply contemplative about it (especially with all the gorgeous added instrumentation). It made me appreciate where I'm at while also thinking of the many others who are worse off right now. I literally have tears streaming down my face right now and that's alright.

[@m.droberts5206]

Jose Gonzalez, Ben howard and John frusciante guitar based solo albums fills all the gaps for me. Thank you kexp.

[@YerkoObilinovic]

Recuerdo ir escuchando a José González llegando a mi destino en Tierra del Fuego, Chile, fue fantástico.

[@ncomlegacy]

música perfecta para ese viaje

[@user-xj5jz8lf3b]

I listen to him a lot when I was a depressed teenager. thanks for getting me through it

[@lcarthel]

Bittersweet how music has that effect on us, eh?

[@Galadriel333]

I love this guys music...been my fave for several years now. Many blessings your way Jose for bringing beautiful music to the planet.

[@heatherdigby1165]

José González und The String Theory ist Musik voller Herz und Freude. Danke ❤️🌞

[@rasmuserlandsson2204]

Being from the same city as him, José's music goes into everyones' heart. Great guy.

[@caresseofficial6741]

love this music, we are making great music nowadays, wouldn´t change it for any other time.

[@SuperFreedomRock1]

Zzzzz....yeah there's still great music out there today, but this is just pretentious nonsense. Belongs in a feel-good Insurance Commercial.

[@wavepirate]

@@SuperFreedomRock1 🙄🙄🙄

[@caresseofficial6741]

well I feel my music is kind of depressing, so this music helps me see the contrast.

[@jillesoom3305]

everyone always is complaining that we don't have any good music anymore, but there is so much variety these days, you can almost find anything you like

[@marklearner9404]

Wow that last song was so satisfying! What amazing and humble musicians.

[@ReverbPhishr]

He's one of those few artists who can touch your soul with his music.

[@b40]

Fact. He just did for me.

[@gmoald6175]

Que voz tan autentica. Maravilloso performance!

[@cesarsantellana1768]

Can't wait to clock out,head home and listen to this string theory on my headphones.

[@sametzweiler2630]

these audio engineers are their game man, these shows always sound fantastic

[@geoffrey4513]

Jose is such a unique artist

[@taviyo]

Someone told me I look like this guy. Was totally flattered and honoured. I admire his music.

[@thebigburlyman4102]

This was fantastic. I’ve been a fan of his for years and had the pleasure of seeing him live twice. The first time was a tiny venue called the Parish in New Orleans and it was MAGIC✨ Second time in Baton Rouge with Junip. Also, quite good. I love this sound too, wish they would play “Hints”. That’s my all time favorite song of his.

[@kentneumann5209]

This is beautiful music. I guess that's obvious. To hear it on the radio, I would stop it there and totally give it both my ears and my minds eye to the story of the song. *Watching* them perform, and other artists too, just adds so much more to the experience of listening. To see the actual human beings doing and enjoying or intently focusing on their respective contribution to the collaboration is really quite an enjoyable experience. But... I can't get any work done! I keep telling myself, "Ok. THIS time I'm just gonna let it play in the background while I work." I always get sucked back into watching. Its just fascinating watching people perform, sharing a display of their talents.

[@MiltonRodriguezCastro]

The music is a real time machine so capable to taking you to a moment, to a person, to a love.

[@Cptidris]

KEXP is like a beacon of hope for music. Also this version of Crosses is unbelievable.

[@thinweasel1]

I love this guy

[@cristinacano7853]

My heart is beating so fast!! Love José Gonzalez, I've seen him in Boston and in Mexico City and always sounds amazing!

[@rents14]

Ojalá y venda al DF

[@andresoliver583]

Me too

[@toddnoble1936]

Saw the tour. What a life changing show!!

[@Pauloz87]

Beautifully mixed

[@AxCYeR]

God bless KEXP and this high quality videos!

[@flyingcheff]

Dog bless this absolutely!!

[@yuriydisman6829]

Don't bless, amplify.

[@andyholmes3439]

Awesome!

[@salvatorecanzio6542]

It's a shame there is no big applause for them at the end. An impressive performance!

[@james_mackey]

Thankful KEXP exists so I can experience this

[@mufudzimaposa]

I can only imagine how amazing it felt being in that room with the entire band

[@lcarthel]

This makes me convinced that music is the strongest sense tied to memory, not smell.

[@isaiakrozell2409]

thats great but music isnt a sense buddy. you mean hearing/sound.

[@FridaySessionsEverybody]

Ok, so this right here is everything and anything I will be needing this weekend. No more needed

[@flyingcheff]

Makes me think of Cat stevens a tiny bit (not just his looks, but the emotive ability and tenderness), the music is exquisite, the entire group, wow! What a lovely voice Jose holds.

[@nicholasgibas3872]

This is the best thing I’ve heard this year

[@luuismarquez]

I'm in love with Cheryl Waters

[@beigela]

get in line, bro

[@LAMF1976]

Absolutely brilliant musician.

[@ivyhe4899]

His voice can calm me down. beautiful.

[@heatherdigby1165]

José González dan The String Theory adalah musik yang penuh dengan hati dan kegembiraan.Terima kasih❤️🌞

[@tommythetrain4288]

Heartbeats! omfg one of my fav songs ! Fever Ray!

[@TomasJonssonPlus]

The knife, did the original- you heard it? Its amazingly heartbreaking as well.

[@adrien6988]

I love José so much but those arrangements are absolutely gorgeous

[@patrickkelsey5861]

Love Jose Gonzales used to have crosses and heartbeats on my sleeping playlist and would always queue crosses first it was like life or death that I heard the song before bedtime

[@Stefanakabesuch]

crosses was the first song ever for me.. since that time, deeeeep love... I saw him live in Berlin like 15 years ago.. just him with his guitar, a chair, and a microphone.. pure .. warm .. deep .. love .. But now, with all the "orchestra" 'n stuff... it's not the same anymore.. it lost it's intimacy.. now the music is just like.. popmusic.. möff But anyways: One of the finest artists of our time!!

[@heatherdigby1165]

José González e The String Theory é uma música cheia de coração e alegria ... obrigado ❤️🌞

[@camilocarrillo2132]

nice to see him again, wonderful

[@the510wagon]

They are magical. 'Crosses' gives me goosebumps.

[@scottycrayon]
