[@Naruto-bp6hm]

Imagine a Lawrence and Vulfpeck collaboration.

[@TheNarutoUzumaki07]

Czar620 I want to hear Clyde duet 1612 so bad now

[@brandonwright4314]

I've been saying this for a while. A Snark Puppy, Vulfpeck, Lawrence show would be unreal.

[@simonpelsmakher7216]

Vulf + Lawrence + Busty and the Bass. That shit needs to go down.

[@plpchlr8688]

Imagine Lawrence, Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, Cory Henry

[@itsdaffxter]

[@juanjose0917]

so damn good!!

[@johnjj]

You have the chillest guitarist I have ever seen, he is just grooving the fuck out, and I love it.

[@silvanagobbi8398]

I can’t stop listening to this song over and over again. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@littlesarahr]

Fuck. I saw one video on Reddit... an hour later and I'm even more enthralled, watching one video after another. Wow, who are these guys, why don't I know them?? How do they sound this good?

[@caretohuan]

Sarah Rowe Stone exact same situation. had to support these guys and buy their album on Google play

[@GeorgeRazzo]

Supporting them nov. 9, in Hollywood!

[@scottfromderby]

I can't get enough

[@ShinySmack]

Wait until you see them live...

[@jlukasik1993]

@@ShinySmack You dance in the house listening to them. You absolutely go wild live!!

[@chuckers07]

That's some serious Randy Newman channeling, in a good way.

[@hawkrider88]

AMEN....right on Chuckers!!

[@derekgriffin9753]

[Verse 1] Do you remember when it all began? It seemed impossible we'd ever understand That a day would come when it would all be a memory But like a little boy's time capsule, that's been buried in the ground I'm gonna do a little digging and I'll show you what I've found And ooh, what's done is done Tomorrow seems so far away but now I'm praying it won't come [Chorus] Cause baby, baby, I was wrong I never thought we'd all move on And now the world as I knew it, I lived in and I grew in, it all is gone They used to say nothing ever lasts, your future turns to past Now, I don't believe what I see, cause time flies by me so damn fast [Verse 2] A row of rafters, hats in the air But for what comes after we're so unprepared And our timelines only make it so far Like a fly in the morning As the day grows near What once was excitement slowly fades to fear And ooh, we've reached that day I'd once upon a time race for the finish line, now I only wanna stay [Chorus] Cause baby, baby, I was wrong I never thought we'd all move on And now the world as I knew it, I lived in and I grew in, it all is gone They used to say nothing ever lasts, your future turns to past Now, I don't believe what I see, cause time flies by me so damn fast [Refrain] And ooh, turn back the clocks The hands I used to wanna speed up now I'm just trying to make them stop [Chorus] But baby, baby, I was wrong I never thought we'd all move on And now the world as I knew it, I lived in and I grew in, it all is gone They used to say nothing ever lasts, your future turns to past Now, I don't believe what I see, cause time flies by me so damn fast [Outro] Baby, baby, baby, baby I never thought we'd all move on I don't believe what I see, I don't believe what I see

[@LaitoChen]

That lady had waaaay to much fun. Great song!!

[@Eliiefii]

+Prince Blake came here for this

[@epicgardening]

Simply SO FIRE.

[@Sofarsounds]

🔥🔥🔥

[@withnailll]

So much talent, the wheel turns and real music presents itself yet again , thank God

[@cornbreadthedog]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lawrence, especially when the guy sings lead! What a great soulful voice! Digging this blue eyed soul with two Kellogg's breakfast spoons! They totally remind me of the 1990's band, The Commitments. Lawrence should be huger than this!

[@nicandromartinezsotelo3300]

this band was not what I wanted to hear, but definitely what I needed to hear tonight in lonely Minneapolis

[@auron077]

Minneapolis forever.

[@hawkrider88]

Lawrence, what a band. Clyde; writer, player, singer extraordinaire. Gracie; what a voice and incredible presence on stage. What a BAND!!

[@thomasmorange7251]

WTF !?? You're so damn good.... We are waiting for you at Toulouse (France)

[@elithewholeshebang]

Yo it took me almost 3 minutes of this to realize this wasn't a studio recording (I was listening while doing the dishes) I continue to be impressed by you all 😂👍🏾 Edit: OH MY GOSH it happened again. This time I was doing my morning routine

[@user-mm8iz7jo2f]

I and my daughter love this song very much.We bought　CD including this song ,too. We listen this song everyday. I want to play keyboard like Clyde.His performance is so cool!!!

[@heyheyheylookwhoitis]

This is talent

[@Epimpin101]

Dam these guys are awesome. I also noticed the Randy Newman sound in his voice.

[@kristagerbrandt8971]

If randy Newman and John Mayer had a baby lol

[@LHROSS]

Such a great song sung so well...

[@techbp759]

like I said in the other video: this band is full of awesomeness!!!

[@ThaGlittersAintGold]

19 people have no soul whatsoever. This guy is good!

[@murpht2012]

Still here in '24 😎

[@plobanov]

These guys have got serious funk going on ! Really refreshing to hear and hear such talent. Clyde thank yo for sharing your gift with us. Keep well and keep it coming

[@iPrometheusQ]

great song. love it!! great playing, tasty arrangement and build-up. totally love the tone of her voice, too.

[@jacksonrieb1231]

Lil Dicky's doppelganger has a great voice

[@ThaGlittersAintGold]

Jackson Rieb "Lil Dicky" looks like Clyde Lawrence, not the other way around.

[@Davidkaisermusic]

I think they both look like Michael League from Snarky Puppy

[@paperbag791]

ok i just listened to lil dicky's song 'earth' today and I was like wait- doesn't this guy look a lot like Clyde?!?!?

[@veryawful861]

Jackson Rieb Lil Dicky wishes.

[@jacobburr1656]

Can't wait for a full album! These guys are my new favorite.

[@iHeartmusic424]

LOVE THIS! Vocals and instruments all on point! and so much soul damnn

[@jamesbearden7245]

Chic singing is slaying it! You know you're feeling it when it makes her put her hair up at 4:18 lol

[@florriehathorn1890]

The music is first class talent! The horn section needs some dance moves - they look like they're waiting in line at the DMV! Move around, fellas! But the playing, singing, songwriting skills out the wazoo - this is a very talented group of folks!

[@user-nj8um9pw3w]

Hurrah ! I'll go NY to meet Lawrence

[@amphibiandingoman9361]

Make sure you go about it in a non-creepy way! :P

[@normbarnes689]

blew me away! St Louis Feb 23 baby! hell yeah!

[@hiddevanderhee1485]

anybody noticed the snarky puppy t shirt?

[@spartanboosts]

Bassist rocking the Snarky shirt! Nice!

[@derekvillorente4334]

Another great performance by Lawrence.

[@graicerobertson7346]

i wish Gracie sang/harmonized a bit more during this song 🥹 it’s one of my favorites for her vocals, I wish she was singing the whole song, like its a duet instead of a single vocalist with backup lol I just love her so much

[@davimota864]

Love ths song. Congrats for the participation in Noelle, great songs as ever

[@versatilejams]

A white Donny Hathaway with the form of a country boy. Interesting - but the music speaks for itself! 👍🏼

[@Surisuree]

I listen to this song more than thousand times a day :D Love it, Love it, Love it!

[@EmilianoCaballeroFraccaroli]

Great music!

It's weird to think Gracie had just turned 18 when this was filmed

[@user-tk1tu5wl8q]

actually i like the voice of the girl who does the subvocal and her body movement

[@user-tk1tu5wl8q]

shes so into it

[@unclesam997]

Eddie Giraldo swear I was so surprised to find out both of them were white lol

[@josemariapb9529]

Muy buenos, si. Musica negra interpretada estupendamente por una banda de blancos. Estupendas voces de los dos hermanos.

[@tomypreach]

Love every single note they've ever played!

[@seanberman2516]

Anyone have the chords to this? I love this.

[@nicandromartinezsotelo3300]

You need to show this shit in Guadalajara Mexico

[@pablofaz3189]

Nicandro Martínez Sotelo Ah huevo!!!

[@trane5270]

Terrific blue-eyed gospel! This guy is quite something. What an emotionless crowd! I guess they were expecting some hip-hop crap derivative.

[@louispearson8306]

if randy newman and marvin gaye...

[@kirastump2989]

Louis Pearson FR

[@mattyu100]

does anyone know what type of genre is this? it has some John Mayer vibe to it

[@user-hw7bm1dy2l]

ねるが好きらしいから調べてみたけどめっちゃ良い🎶

[@syalinarahmahbientarumi4796]

💖😘

[@SeanMcVerry]

I GOT KARSH FEVER Y'ALL

[@braggs619]

Love his voice ....he just needs to be solo he has a soulful voice he is still young he can blow up as a solo artist

[@birdjacobs]

This crowd needs to calm down.

[@jordant764]

please start recording live for spotify no more studio sessions keep it natutal

[@natashasommerhalter1472]

Anyone know what kind of piano style/sound this is??

[@madsbock7586]

It's an electric piano sound. Like a "Fender Rhodes" for example.

[@CopperOreGaming]

It's a Wurlizter sound. It's very a characteristic sound and differ from the Rhodes.

[@CarlosSamudra]

Who the fuck dislike this performance?

[@daviddelbosque1793]

Donald Trump

[@Pekins]

Grace looking like the finest snacks

[@brandonwright4314]

More like "So Damn Underappreciated"

[@louispearson8306]

stop dissing the girl, shes got a great fking voice, yes shes enjoying the music. you should understand exactly how she filled that position, its just everyone sounds a little lackluster singing next to marvin gaye

[@hbars9733]

Her mic should've been a slight bit louder

[@bencharlesb]

Yea the mix on this seems a little weird. I'm getting blown out by the bass in particular.

[@ryanharbin6787]

She is back up vocals.

[@captainkiwi77]

Ryan Harbin only for this song, she’s actually the lead singer most of the time

[@kimrobles8670]

Love the song beyond belief good, but please someone roll up his sleeve the rest of the way it's killing me

[@AniaNadzieja]

Hi, I love your performance and love both of you singing but I'm just wondering why this woman's vocal is too quiet and why she sings so little. She has too much potential to be just a backup vocal! I love you singing Sunday Kind of Love

[@michaelharrison6466]

Stef Anka listen to some of their other songs if you want to her vocals as a lead

[@TheNarutoUzumaki07]

Listen to Alibi

[@sunshine.from.within]

She is not exactly "backup vocals"! She is Clyde's (lead singer) sister, Gracie. She is phenomenal and she does sing lead in many of their other songs! :)

[@iFireender]

sometimes, less is more, my friend :) Her just coming in sometimes makes the moments she is also singing more special.

[@timescher5513]

8 years ago? Gracie is what, 15?

[@gregoryzakwin]

19 here she is 27 now

[@akowalz]

think about half the views on this are from me.
