[@Adie1022]

tearing 😢 for this version, full of emotions. 2024 and still loving this session ....

[@attalahwalker1074]

Honestly same!!

[@flicksbyhans]

Yeah 100% she is amazing

[@YoutanPoluo]

This band and sound is the best version of Kimbra. I dig her new stuff, but these sessions are what made me start loving her in the first place. It's just good music. Period.

[@tcoker0416]

YoutanPoluo I completely agree

[@garethVanDagger]

I also agree. She needs to record albums with a live band and capture that vibe. It’s so brilliant. Her albums have been a bit dissapointing. This live session was truly amazing.

[@bluecorp8557]

She sold her soul. That's why her newer music is terrible. The old her had more spirit in the music.

[@mariacastillo5625]

Ditto!

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

True, but I think what gets me going is seeing her perform. She's so into her own music and feels it fully. It's a fantastic performance!

[@genesis3790]

I remember watching this about 3 years ago, I used too be obsessed with this song , now I'm back at it 😂😂😂.

[@sltorres101]

I still am.

[@annabelle7123]

sameee

[@RebullEdits]

i'm obsessed with cameo lover

[@amandacamara6668]

kkkkkkkkkkk i was just thinking the same thing

[@kassiegmusic]

this is still one of my favorite things she has ever done.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

same. i come back to these sessions year after year. the band was so on point and full

[@romeoposton568]

Facts!!❤❤❤

[@LoststeamVAA]

Her album versions are good, but her live versions are waaaay better! Fantastic sound!

[@DasSchwarzeSchafe]

Specifically her Sing Sing Studios versions c:

[@Kingston1661]

DasSchwarzeSchafe I thought I was the one who felt that way!!

[@e11xct]

Hallo are you still ok KZbin 🙂

[@e11xct]

on*

[@LoststeamVAA]

@@e11xct Yes! I am eternal. Like Kimbra's music.

[@SpicyricecrackerProd]

What really slays me in this version is how when she sings with the backing chord in the chorus (rather than the melody), she hits the minor 7th, which gives the overall chord this tension that's just seeking resolution and gives those little moments in the song such a feeling of yearning. It's such a tiny little detail, but it sounds so good and adds so much to the arrangement. Kimbra is such a brilliant talent and artist.

[@timlatour]

Spicyricecracker Productions Yes! I didn’t know the technicalities of that, but you nailed exactly what I was thinking. That one note is amazing.

[@justadjustor8993]

Are you guys talking about at 2:05? 😃

[@chipmeans380]

Great comment and observation.

[@zerocory6430]

​@@justadjustor8993 yes

[@_conrad]

I can't express how much better this version is than the studio version, still got is riped off from youtube and diggin it even 6 years later

[@cameronjimenez3926]

I love how she expresses her emotions through her singing and dancing, she never holds back

[@jjack5118]

2:22 - 2:47 Has got to be one of the most sonically pleasing breakdowns ever!!! Still floored by these performances after all these years.

[@zeeschnitzel]

Yeah

[@mersaultjude]

No bells. No whistles. No bullsh*t. Just pure talent. This woman is a beast.

[@markstraszynski2574]

This IS woman... AT her BEST

[@veganvocalist4782]

​@@markstraszynski2574 TRUUUUTH 🤣😂

[@veganvocalist4782]

Haahaaa 😂 yep

[@romeoposton568]

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH 😂❤❤❤❤🔥🔥

[@xinziearusuke4696]

2024 and still listening to her songs..

[@NervousNoMore]

Facts this and settle down

[@_conrad]

I would pay big money to see her perfom in this config, so good even 13 years later

[@ryanbeckwith5285]

Still an all time favorite. I have seen this so many times and it's just as good every time.

[@sowhatimanerd]

Her technical control of her tone is just... incredible.

[@annarose8913]

She is the kind of brillant artist who is better live than audio!!!

[@cardinalwilson8034]

yeah she's in the league of john mayer and jason mraz.

[@starlightvisionary8664]

Her hand gestures are beautiful

[@boomshakalaka6451]

one of the few times I prefer live over the album. it sounds more smoother and jazz like.

[@RawrGurr]

I agree her performance in this video shoot is impeccable.

[@amberfrost7766]

omy goodness why the hell does it have to be so earth shateringly good

[@michaelmassey1261]

it just is......

[@Bassario]

I come here year after year... I bought your first album Kimbra and I enjoyed it thoroughly, but the recording on there does not compare to this perfect masterpiece you created on that day at this studio. In fact, I have lost touch with your modern music, there was one video in particular that did not grip me, and while I promise to get back into it some day because I think you are amazing, nothing will ever compare to this little piece of music. All 6 songs recorded there were amazing, but this one in particular has captured a piece of my heart. Beginning to end.

[@garethVanDagger]

Completely agree

[@_picazo_15]

Same

[@ImakeucryxD]

I literally only watch this for the 2:22 minute mark I can't stop replaying it 😂😂

[@Westcoaststyling]

ImakeucryxD I know....I always close my eyes, imagine if she was deep inside a cave or forest and all you hear is her singing as you go towards her voice....that would be amazing

[@Westcoaststyling]

Devin Cobain perfect

[@greatsea]

+ImakeucryxD Yeah it is pretty damned spectacular. I showed my sister this video yesterday and today she called me, "what was the name of that video again." She was mesmerized.

[@TheLoobis]

Oh Com'on! that's the worst Part of the Song!

[@cadalae]

i can't believe shes only 19 in this, she seems so much older, but in a good way

[@anastasiaboog8559]

Only 19?!

[@cadalae]

well shes older now, but when this was uploaded she was 19 or so

[@AriannaEuryaleMusic]

serious?...19?.... thats my favorite number

[@magicfordogs]

If this was recorded in 2011 as the description suggests, she'd be 21 in this video!

[@simplesred6553]

@@magicfordogs That was in 2010.

[@Legionope]

This one invokes such great vibes. I will always go back to enjoy this specific performance.

[@LittleChortle]

I'm so sad that I didn't discover Kimbra till now. She gets so into her music. Each performance is unique and beautiful ♥

[@ImaginaryBluesMusic]

This version is the best.. 3:22 drum fill followed by those vocals, gold.

[@abcblair]

You used to be able to download this version for free from her web site. I just checked. You can download it for free from her FB page, not her web site.

[@DomenicoAzzolina]

Yep. Nice fill and nice idea to add a 2/4 bar to include that fill :-)

[@DomenicoAzzolina]

ImaginaryBluesMusic ehehe, adding a 2/4 measure instead of a 4/4 into a song makes the song more beautiful :-)

[@bluecorp8557]

I was more amazed with the guitar at 3:19 Wow

[@ryneagheilim9782]

Well executed.

[@kegon88falls]

One of the most musical and passionate female vocalists I've heard in decades. The Sing Sing Studios takes are just phenomenal.

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

Been a fan for ten years now......hopefully many, many more!

[@assilemorum8700]

This is real music

[@savannahnight7872]

That really is some seriously good stuff.

[@Westcoaststyling]

2:47 I ALWAYS get chills at this part

[@SirManDudeGuy1]

+Westcoaststyling 2:21 for me.

[@tekokako1]

The whole flipping song make me tense there's so much expectation or something. I dunno. Just you keep waiting for the song to explode but it's already exploded just how much more full on can it get.

[@RebullEdits]

+tekokako i love this song so much

[@est2xe]

me from 2:20 ....brrrrrrr!! ;)

[@shinhatiwolf_]

Same!!!

[@rpo3ge]

it's been 9 years, gosh.... this whole live at sing sing gives me so much chills, love to watch her perform, it's so genuine and..... awesome to experience.

[@Quaaysan]

coming back around to this in 2023, working on an acoustic version, would love to hear kimbra do this acoustically too (but the instrumentation is so good with the vocal effects)

[@marco3330]

I love everything about Kimbra especially her voice! Even her weird gestures LOL

[@slickrick1042]

This is one of the most perfect songs and performances I’ve ever seen in my life! Truly staggering how much emotion this song invokes!

[@MrNisse-ef9by]

Holy shit...she's amazing.

[@zomgseriosuly]

I believe in Kimbra so hard

[@tasha0099]

She has this rich voice. I like it.

[@Levinmusic.]

one of the best things on youtube

[@bertshekelstein8022]

Isn't it neat to witness competent musicians having fun? All of the videos from this session are such a pleasure to watch.

[@corghamorton1740]

I love her movements into the song she really gets into it

[@MokoOfUarewa]

I have come back to this performance every few months for the past 9 years. My favourite track from the album, sounds even better live!

[@_picazo_15]

She sings like an angel. 👼 👼 👼

[@yareztyjajaja2357]

someone else 2021 who misses this kimbra?💖🥺

[@annabelle7123]

I love this album, her movements, voice, just filled with so much energy, passion and weird quirkiness that I adore but can't explain...

[@cardinalwilson8034]

i've been visiting here every week just to listen to this song and look at her beautiful face. I love her music.

[@cardinalwilson8034]

update still my favorite song. (august 2022)

[@owlis2328]

I saw this video, and the rest of the Sing Sing playlist, when it was at about 2,000 views. And suddenly Kimbra has come such a long way. I'm someone who loves the Golden Echo album ( her most recent ), for its creativity and jazz influence, but this style also suits her so well. I find myself in the Sing Sing studio section from time to time, just reliving the time when i first found Kimbra. This set up suits her voice, her performance skills and everything so well, it's a joy to see. And obviously the band are great too.

[@BrianKoppe]

Pretty much exactly my own experience and thoughts. Stumbling upon this set when it was first posted to KZbin was a revelation. I love the way her music has evolved, but these videos are still my favorite performances of her. Looking forward to the third album!

[@talyao1162]

i feel the same way!

[@garethVanDagger]

I completely agree

[@chrisk0327]

love every single part of her performance!

[@shelparks988]

❤❤ style, voice, intensity , beauty and one of a kind. No doubt my favorite singer yep of all time.

[@nurisim]

2:22 --The vocal break in this song is POWERFUL. You know Kimbra's good because she is almost always better live and each live performance has its own character and really stands on its own. The album version, Sing Sing version, and billboard version are all amazing but for different reasons! So dynamic.

[@gabrielmiranda1470]

I really love Kimbra's awkward dancing XD

[@DanielGonsalezDani27891]

I love this music, it's so real

[@kyahprince2726]

This song lives in my head permanently

[@fangcooks5643]

love this version so so much!

[@janewhitson6065]

She is just stunning xx

[@Littledimples519]

Her voice is like a violin. So beautiful.

[@dessieangel1021]

I really want her to come back to this, but I think this just makes me appreciate every era she has

[@SvyatE30]

I’m listening for this song more than 6 years…. Peace of art

[@jahmalbaptiste9915]

I just discovered this beauty... Still relevant and unparalleled in 2019 !

[@arfauvel4513]

Coming back here feels right

[@juanmanuelmobilio6799]

Kimbra is a testament to the beauty of the human soul. What a treasure. I will love you for always, Kimbra. Forever.

[@vonnshlabbah]

Ok her voice is just ridiculous. She s drenched in a crazy amount of talent. It just kills.

[@miguelcardenas4108]

Back in 2019 😍

[@mirelandthecats7981]

I miss her band, they make the perfect match with kimbra´s voice.

[@DATRUFF123]

I can't stay still listening to her music. It moves me. Literally.

[@Ronstradamus1]

Maybe this is my cup of tea??? I can't stop coming back for more. . Great music is great because of passion, and Kimbra has passion. Kimbra is a STAR, some just can't see the shine.....yet

[@LorneCo]

No autotune required, just pure heaven.The music possess her, so cool.

[@eierinjhoi]

i love you Kimbra!

[@gregharris9255]

just the way she sings the word "conspiracy" melts everything about me. magical voice.

[@mariacastillo5625]

Timeless.

[@tekokako1]

This song always makes me tense all the way through she's just so intense.

[@earthwielder]

This woman is a singer's singer. Finally!

[@lyndonsandie]

First heard the magic that is Kimbra in 2012, and listened to everything she has done since. Finally got the chance to see her live in the UK in 2019. Truly amazing! I don't think I'll ever stop loving what she does!!

[@distancedoesntcare]

I want to see what she sees in her head while she sings. Are notes flying around in the air?

[@Xsyven]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if she has some form of Synesthesia.

[@_picazo_15]

Every Year I go back to this video, I look up to her performances for confidence

[@bettinakyel2727]

2023 and still listening to this 🥰👍🏻

[@shaarfromvenusloveandlight6534]

This was the best moment of her. She made me fly with this! I miss her music... this kind! 💕🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@yenna_music]

Verse 1] I feel the four become five And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting For you to walk down the boulevard And to take me, take me, take me But the moment you appear You wake me, wake me, wake me Out of the slumbers of my head From the slums of loneliness [Hook] And there's no conspiracy Behind the way two hearts meet When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street) And I think I'm ready To let you get under my skin I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street) [Verse 2] We're coming close to our fame They'll put a star beside our names But I couldn't care for the history When I've got you in front of me And the cars could all collide The shards of glass
 won't catch my eye Because you're almost by my side We're counting down at the green light [Hook] And there's no conspiracy Behind the way two hearts meet When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street) And I think I'm ready To let you get under my skin I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street) And there's no conspiracy Behind the way two hearts meet When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street) And I think I'm ready To let you get under my skin I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street)

[@airconshaun]

i love the way she mooves

[@danniflakesalot]

Just watching her sing this song and i just keep thinking one thing. "HOW is it possible for her to be so perfect????"

[@slickrick1042]

Wow why I am just finding this music now? She is so talented it hurts!

[@solaris2340]

Go Kimbra! You're awesome!

[@FrankieU07]

I still love this video, one of her best performances.

[@brookstormhonorblade2782]

And that, people, IS how you COMMIT to your passion

[@tbrewer6]

I love how she displays so much emotion!!!!! This is the music I love!!!

[@marshanahrai97]

She's so talented :O

[@mrperroxo]

Of course it's artsy when she dances like that, but when I do "I'm too drunk and need to get out the mall fountain".

[@sirarthurfrentzel1434]

Yes yes the alcohol. Happens to the best of us.

[@sirarthurfrentzel1434]

and all of us might I add LofukinL

Still one of my favourite comments 😆😆😂🤣✨

[@rizkipandawa5399]

love her so much!!!

This woman is a powerhouse. A much needed breath of fresh air visually, artistically, and talent wise. Kimbra is phenomenal.

[@ChelseaKrave]

"i feel the four become five" wow wow

I used to think the lyric was: I feel the floor become fire

[@ChelseaKrave]

+Zeo Khan Lololol that's so funny.

[@evelynoliveira9447]

I still don't understand this lyric😢

[@lilith5865]

2:19 to 2:25 💜💜💜 that note melted my soul

[@chawanavaughn]

Greatness! I keep coming back to this song. Kimbra is 🔥👌

[@deeliciousplum]

This was wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Kimbra is a joy to listen to.

[@esmeraelillywing612]

If I had the kind of money that finances KUWTK and all that nonsense, I would put it to much better use, by paying Kimbra and Sia to allow me to just watch them sing live. THAT is proper use of riches in my opinion. I would melt if I were in this room watching her record this. On a related note, it is my dream to dance to this song at my wedding.

[@waqas361]

well... she sounds just as good live

[@ginoporrasabarca3854]

I thank every time I rewatch this performance. So so good.

[@puggysnuggy]

She's Awesome! Love her music and style!!

[@daviddaspit3986]

[@feliciastoner8968]

So AMAZINGLY TALENTED! Especially the vox only part...

[@Kshima]

This live rendition is my absolute favorite

[@julianwilliams8630]

Im so sad I found her so late. THIS WAS LITERALLY BEAUTIFUL.
