Kacey Musgraves - Slow Burn (Live On SNL)

[@brookeelisa3003]

I love how subtle she is. She doesn't scream for your attention, she just has it.

[@kylewatson5308]

Best comment ever lol

[@tomjohnson3004]

Brooke Elisa , would not say subtle, direct and plain, she ain’t hiding anything. Shame the Coachella version was taking down. That performance was breathtaking. Believe upon Jesus , trust upon him and his propitiation for you, it’ll be alright

[@northeastbirdsmore2281]

Facts!

[@jimihendrix225]

agreed indeed !

[@sjb2440]

The first time I heard this song was on SNL. I was completely entranced from the start.

[@brandonward9967]

Proof that the simplest songs and arrangements can be some of the most emotion and powerful performances. This is one of the best I’ve seen on SNL in a long time.

[@rogerbourne4377]

Actually 12 people on stage there that gradually fill the sound. It's well though-out.

[@kentexican5844]

You nailed it Brandon!

[@kottyking]

bro there's 11 people in the band lol not even including her. "simple"

[@kottyking]

@@rogerbourne4377 lol didnt see this comment completely agree 12 people is anything but simple this is intensive as fuck

🎶SNL is quite consistently high end grade A sound🎶 & she's definitely top notch talent✨💫

holy shit this sounds just like the recording. she’s an amazing vocalist.

This song might turn into a classic. It has for me already.

[@Ravelle17]

it's far and away my favorite song of 2018

[@demirnur]

Nick Porcaro Mine, too. I cant’t believe that I’m listening to it several times per week since its release. It’s a masterpiece.

[@smcginlay]

I love simple music like this - so simple that I couldn't come up with it in a million years

[@J11R6B97]

the whole album

[@anitapalanna3553]

That whole albums classic 😊

[@Hollowsmith]

I feel like if Kacey and Sufjan Stevens made an album together, some of the prettiest songs ever written would occur.

[@ariacromwell5722]

Oh my god, this...

[@natalieciocca2186]

That would be a gift from god

[@kellydavid23]

I feel like Kacey is the secret love child of Dolly Parton and Beck.

[@sammosenkis5825]

I get the thought - Kacey's Slow Burn and Sufjan's Chicago have similar chord structures, so sound similar..

[@rizkylutfiansyah2879]

This album deserves Grammy. Well done, Kacey!

[@marvinmartinez5080]

That way have to be

[@highwayc7639]

She got it!!!

I hope 'Golden Hour' wins album of the year.

your hope was granted

and she won!

[@sacriste]

And very well deserved

[@maryloves333]

this comment aged well

[@ImKuru]

From the nominees she definitely was the best, even though it was not album of the year in my opinion

[@TheBromptonTraveler]

There's something really magical about that melody change after the first chorus. And she is beautiful too, jusy like this song.

[@AustinMarti]

I've seen this mentioned on two different live performances of this song and I can't figure out what you guys are talking about. As far as I can tell, the key doesn't change. The melody doesn't change (it's the same as the first verse). There are a couple interesting fills. I don't know if I'm losing touch with music or going crazy or what. What are you referring to? Is there a modulation I'm not hearing? I'm listening on laptop speakers -- probably doesn't help.

[@julia.f.farina]

​@@AustinMarti Good question. Perhaps he means the vocalises (E-G-F#) that are backed up by an instrument (I'm actually not sure what that is - keyboard?) It's a little "otherworldly" sounding.

[@themessenger8334]

@@AustinMarti I think it's really just referring to the additional instrumentation that comes in during the second verse. I listened to Kacey's older stuff before this, which was more traditional country-style, but when I first listened to this album, and this track was the first thing on that album, hearing the additional instruments drop in like that let me knew I was in for something special. But there's no melody change, no key change, nothing inherently "different" about the song as a whole, it just opens up when the drums and additional guitars and keyboards come in. It's songwriting at its finest, IMO.

[@chokinonashes61]

@@themessenger8334 I agree, I can't put my finger on it, but it makes my hair stand on end. Very emotional on many levels.

[@sammygoris]

Yeah pretty sure the melody doesn't change, it's just that more instruments are playing.

[@rickolsen3605]

"Old soul, waiting my turn, I know a few things but I still got a lot to learn.." So simple, so beautiful. This song was my introduction to Kacey's music. Followed it to the Star Crossed Album - so many catchy, great tunes. What a wondrous talent Kacey is. One thing is clear: Kacey Musgraves is much more than just a country singer..

[@theprototam]

I found this song because a contestant on the voice performed it. I went searching because it sounds like something from the 90s. I love it!

[@WDJeff]

I'm so glad that she got grammys for Golden Hour. She's a breath of fresh air in this world of over produced music.

[@cjflanaganyahoo]

I love this song because the ideas the lyrics convey are so poignant, relevant, and vivid; while the words are so few and simple. For example, the changing generations, a different time and age; “grandma cried when I pierced my nose” ; or the world growing smaller, the global economy “in Beijing there headed out to work”. Yet it gives me hope, “Taking my time, let the world turn, I’m gonna do it my way, it’ll be alright”. It’s a slow burn. Absolutely fantastic.

[@jeffglass5771]

agreed...

[@tylerandtodd]

Your time of slow burning is over...you'll be looked back on as an absolute ICON!

My 3 year old daughter and I listen to this album in the mornings. This song always slows her down. She just sits and listens. Such a beautiful song...

Discovered this song binge watching Yellowstone, and I've loved it ever since.

[@lithiumqueen9185]

Her voice so inspiring.

[@jacole439]

She has that kind of tone that you just want to hear more, for sure. I don't know if you've heard of Nicollette Larson, but she has that smooth yearning in her voice too. Look up "Lotta Love", you'll hear that inviting sound from her, too. (70's hit vocalist)

[@himanshusawant1993]

Absolutely! Totally addictive, can brighten my darkest day

[@stevebeye1585]

Yes it is. I LOVE her voice, she gives me chills. It’s really because she ie being very directly truthful, not a bunch of untrue, nonsense. Like the middle part. She is singing HIGH!!! And getting away with it. Because she tucked it in like an “ahhhhhh” love ir

The sound man was brilliant. The long delays, echoes, reverbs are very hard to do without getting feedback. I have to wonder if he only implemented them as they went out to broadcast and they were not present on the stage or for the PA. He accomplished live what was on the record. My hats off to you man. Beautiful production.

This was the first time I heard this song and I could not look away, I could not move, and I had to hold back the tears (girlfriend was next to me). It reminds me of a handful of live SNL performances that have captured me like that; great songs who's performance was captivating (and turned out to be just as good if not better than the album recording).

For anyone who wants to play this on guitar, here's how :) For about 99% of the song, it will be these chords in this order! A, Cadd9, G, D(variation; 554030) Strum Pattern - ↑↓↑↓↑↓↑ SUPER SHORT Bridge after Second Chorus - Cadd9 and Em Hope this helps out!

[@kentexican5844]

I'm old and so out of touch with "what's happening" in music these days, especially when it comes to a lot of what's been called "country" this last decade or two, but I kept hearing this song playing overhead at the gym the last few weeks on satellite radio but not on a "country" station. Does something like this even chart as "country"? Maybe "Americana" ... Doesn't much matter to me where it gets pigeon-holed. For sure a lot of the words, the imagery, the instrumentation, and of course the artist's voice; it all comes together so magically ... The old guy had to look up just who the heck does this song. Outstanding work Ms Musgraves! 'Sounds so authentically soulful and real. I might just be inclined to listen to the rest of the CD and make a purchase. Strong work young lady!

[@amerocker]

I put Kacey's music under the _Americana_ genre, and I don't really know what that is! Americana to me is a wide category. Her music is Rock with a slight twang, folk, soul, pop, blues and even psychedelia. Did you buy _Golden Hour_ yet?
