[@wtoole1]

Continuing my crusade of commenting and liking every video this band has ever made because how have they existed this long without blowing up.

[@hawkrider88]

Because their talent and music comes first....not a bunch of silly meaningless showy crap....these are consummate musicians...who also know how to have a good time. You must catch them live!!!

[@claytonwesthoff4625]

It's happening now I think. They're so fuckin good!

[@D-kw4ln]

Linus realy showed me how all of them are siblings

[@holzmann-]

my name is Linus lol :D

[@itsdaffxter]

2:27 DAMN THAT VOICE

[@JoshuaSurufka]

Honest question, can anybody tell how low, note-wise, he actually gets?

[@cpwalker0429]

Well, to put it bluntly, he is more of a Baritone, and doesn't go as crazy low as one may believe. Basses, being seen as to sing notes between B1 - A4, which already is a pretty big range, need to figure out a way to project their deep sound. Baritone's range more towards E2 - C5, which is also a big range, giving the singer more chances to utilize a different vocal technique, which is what the singer does with the tone of his voice. The singer gets down to an A2 during a free scat around 3:47, and at 2:27, the part you commented of off, he only goes down to a C3. Low, but definitely nothing breathtaking. What really is fascinating is the tone of his voice, which I really don't know how he achieves. His voice gives off the allusion that he's singing quite low when he's in what's debatable as the most comfortable part in his range. A penny for my thoughts, thank you.

[@teraross]

I love the way they complement each other's voices. Awesome job!

[@starseedfilms]

I cannot not believe the perfection and I can't believe how in the world Clyde hit that low note! They are both musical magicians.

[@ericksenkmajer3414]

Have seen them live twice. Drove 250+ miles to another state each time. Did not disappoint. Would do it again. Almost ran out Sunday back to Columbus to see them a third time.

[@profitecturebydesign3646]

holy sh!t it took me 4 years to find this cover, but....HELL. YES.....

[@williamcox5952]

I love watching people do what they love, what they were born to do. You guys are amazing. Deserve much more than 9K views. I'll do my best to spread your stuff around :)

[@alanacruz6482]

The most underrated singers of the year

[@mathevideos9909]

Just discovered this after the 23 acoustic-ish. This is such display of raw talent. Amazing.

[@sheridanray5521]

So much talent in one video, my ears can’t handle it

[@biggactor]

This group is absolutely amazing!! And I can tell you what the first reason is that they are so good…they love what they do! And you can see it in every single note that they sing! Thank you Lord for putting Lawrence on this earth. Sidenote: Clyde does not get enough props for his chops on the piano. That brother can really really play!

[@weenote]

such great character in their voices. Killer arrangement and chords. Love them.

[@Midlife1992]

You two are ABSOLUTELY amazing! Good grief the talent combined with the artistry is an explosive and perfect storm! Will be following your undoubtably successful musical career! All they best to you both!

[@jeffallen8026]

damn, that piano playing is great!

[@subwayeatfrisch]

Too gosh damn great!

[@agc812]

[@moongrrrl3333]

Completely in love with her voice WTF truly amazing both of them 😍😍😍🥺

[@briansis1]

I love this band!! So freakin talented!

[@ozbassplayer8596]

I've been looking for some new music, but have been underwhelmed and have completely lost inspiration. I thought it was Covid, or having been in lockdown for the best part of a year. (Yes that's the truth - check the numbers for Melbourne Australia). I couldn't pick up my bass, it was just a chunk of wood and metal. I couldn't write, I couldn't sing. (OK full disclosure - I never could), and music was just dead for me. No gigs, nothin. Then my wife pointed 'And Many More' at me (the live performance at Webster Hall), and suddenly the coals that I was sure had gone cold suddenly ignited. Apart from the deep personal hook that you set with your Grandma's story, I was engaged by your honesty and infectious enthusiasm. Now that I was hooked, I stayed on the line to watch every video of yours that I could find. I was captured by your arrangements, the quirky muso in-jokes, the synergy within your obviously committed, tight and incredibly talented crew. Oh - did I mention your killer vocals? So you can slice me, dice me and serve me up anyway you like - I'm cooked! Hope to see you in Melbourne Australia sometime - I'll be first in line for Tix.

[@acorrea]

Excelente cover!!! Felicitaciones, a ambos.. disfruté mucho la interpretación...

[@kyletarrao1737]

This song feels like magic

Great version.

[@terrykinsley2924]

She’s perfect.

[@daxlyz2288]

Your vocals are just incredible! The only time I have ever felt this way about an artists vocals was Christina aquilera!

[@adamfeder7125]

Fantastic cover of one of my favorite songs by Squeeze. I love this arrangement by these two amazing artists. I really enjoy when artists cover a song and really make it their own.

[@odrigoray6182]

Omg i love Gracie!!!

[@unejuni]

천재 genius genie ❤️

[@alec6092]

Just discovering yall now! Can't wait to see you on tour with Jon Bellion!

[@Neil-hn6qp]

Hello Lawrence - this is the first ever comment I have left on KZbin, although I’ve been watching music videos on it for years. I am in the UK and a very big fan of squeeze and a keyboard player in a band and we play tempted. I am 53 years old (apparently, although I think I’m 25) and after searching for covers of tempted to get some ideas I stumbled across your post and have now watched all your footage and will follow you to see if you ever come to the UK and if not I will come with my two sons and watch you in the USA (in Colorado please, I have a friend there!). You have both (and your great band) completely captivated me and what you did with tempted is quite astonishing. I hope Glen Tilbrook sees it. Much love and the very best wishes for your continued success - and that, my friends, is guaranteed. Neil

[@heeto1]

WTF!? THIS IS AMAZING!

[@nick87944]

Keep it coming guys! Other artist take notice... Music comes from the soul not from programming a laptop. See you in Chicago!

[@sambone9]

I saw another video with their little brother and I didn’t know they were related and my thought was “what a dick” but then I realized he was saying things like that cause they are siblings😂🤦🏼‍♂️. Love you guys

[@dylankimmel5724]

hahahahah

[@somedude5817]

I’m never touching another piano after that. Wow. Incredibly talented kids

[@Law-Enduring-Citizen]

Fuck these guys are good

[@jillpaige4205]

Glad the incredible songwriting and talent of Squeeze influenced them.

[@guillermomorales1400]

Fuunnnkkyyyy

[@HanseoSori]

로렌스... 부러운 남매..ㅠㅠ 대박임..❤️

[@rynobell]

Funny, I just commented on another video that Clyde has a vocal quality like the guy from Squeeze! And then I find this

[@matthewsilva8617]

Tasty..I’m just here before people rediscover you guys

[@dajboulderco836]

Wow ❤ Share ❤and Like I will see you this summer at CMAC. I’ll be dancing in the front Row.

[@gabrielpimentel139]

👍😁👍

[@j.huisman2353]

Any chance you guys could share the chords you used. I’m having trouble figuring them all out. And I believe I am hearing some differences from the original, which I like. The major chord at “i said to my reflection”, for example, sounds better. But because of these differences the original chord scheme doesn’t do the trick for me. Thanks in advance

[@johnventura1637]

that song has never sounded so good

[@DC-mm3wy]

I hope Jools Holland sees this. Amazing

[@user-dw9mk2wr6s]

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case I said to my reflection let's get out of this place Past the church and the steeple, the landry on nthe hill Billboards and the buildings, memorials of it still Keep calling and calling But forget it all, I know I will Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on, Now that you have gone, There's no other. Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered. I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel The people keep on crowding. I'm wishing I was well. I saidit's no ocassion, it's no story I can tell. At my beside empty pocket, a foot without a sock Your body gets mech closer, I fumble the clock Alarmed bythe seduction, I wish that it would stop. (repeat chorus) I bought anovel, some perfume, a fortune all for you. But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue I asked of my reflection thee me what isthere to do (repeat chorus)

[@hristi.yanche8487]

now i know why they call it soul music

[@powerfulpaper3559]

Is there a normal version of this song? I cant find it anywhere

[@gamedan85]

Tempted by Squeeze kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYmul3mbl5eol5I

[@philipshaheen216]

The bio says this is for "shot" not tempted. Might wanna fix that!!

[@lawrencetheband]

Philip Shaheen thank you!!!!

[@logandanielson7691]

First off you both did awesome, that was a great cover. I just wanted to say that i personally think the male vocals were too quiet (i dont know if that was intentional or not) and his voice got a bit drowned out while singing together. Thats all, keep on jammin!

[@jaynebarnes151]

You two are so awesome. I can not stop listening please do a show somewhere near St. Louis.

[@EdBrooksCarGuy]

I would love more of Clyde's voice in the mix, BUT... I see 3 Neumann large diaphragm condenser microphones in this video; an SM69 on the piano, probably a U87 on Gracie, and probably a U67 on Clyde. All three of these mics are extremely sensitive. With Clyde's mic placement, it might be very difficult to bring his voice up more in the mix without bringing in more spillover from the piano. I'm just enjoying the fact this was recorded in one take and not multi-tracked and processed to death.

[@barneymiller5488]

When jazz hands kids (and I say that with love) who've had real musical training, cover good rock songs, it helps point out what great chord changes and melodies some pop-rock music has. Although there's one 13th chord or something they put into the pre-chorus that I'm not crazy about, but overall well done. So friggin' talented. Real music 'yall!

[@LindzFletch17]

Clive, how LOW can you sing?!

[@benjaminstr]

Better than the original... Could you add it to your set in Brooklyn ? Pleaaase ? :)

I didn't know the original. Just listened to it. It's a nice composition but Lawrence's rendition skyrocketed it to the stratosphere! Damn, this composer, this singer, this band, they're goosebumping me every time I see them. I wish Portugal wasn't so far.

[@eddiecousinsjr]

She reminds a bit of Leah McFall

[@hoyaaaa7969]

Oooohh ooh um yeah I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste A flannel for my face Pajamas, a hairbrush, no shoes in a case I said to my reflection: Let's get out of this place A jursing the steeple, the laundry on the hill Oh, the billboards and the buildings Memories of its seal keep calling and calling But forget it all, I know all well [Chorus] I'm tempted by the food of another I'm tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on? Now that you've have gone, there's no way back Oh, tempted by the food of another Oh, tempted but the truth is discovered [Verse 2] I bought the car park, the air pack, the baggage carousel The people keep on driving I keep wishing I was well I said it's no occasion, there's no story I'd tell Ooh Your bad side to pack it a fool without a sock Your body gets much closer, far more for the clock Just seduction, I wish that it would stop I'm tempted by the food of another I'm tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on? Now that you've have gone, there's no way back Oh, tempted by the food of another Oh, tempted but the truth is discovered A tempted by the food of another A tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on? Now that you've have gone, there's no way back Oh, tempted by the food of another Oh, tempted but the truth is discovered Oh tempted by the food of another Oh, tempted but the truth is discovered Oh tempted by the food of another Oh, tempted but the truth is discovered Hey hey

[@haloromance14]

Jools Holland; get these immediately

[@Gravy_Jones22]

Tiny Linus

[@birdjacobs]

What the actual heck

[@kimt.3760]

wait they are siblings ?? i always thought they dated ouuuppss

[@adropofgoldensun27]

Wow they have another sibling who knew? 🙂

[@DocTrower1980]

Y'all are just TRYING to flatter Glenn Tillbrook, Chris Difford and Paul Carrack with this killer rendition. Attempt successful.

[@zerklang]

OK, I do *love* that you're having so much fun with this song and trying new things. It would be awesome if Jools Holland ran across this cover and invited you on his show. I can even imagine him playing the piano part this way. It would also be great if you introduced a new generation to this song. That said, the (for lack of a better word) Aguilerized vocals just don't work for me. To be fair, Aguilera's style-relentless vocal effects for their own sake-doesn't work for me in half of her own songs, and that it has been widely copied in contemporary pop music really bugs me. But, regardless, I can't help feeling that this cover is you putting on her style, rather than really connecting with the song. (By contrast, I think this style mostly works in "Make a Move", because the vocal effects serve the story in the video.) Your interpretation is saucy and exuberant, but this song is the story of a guy who has fucked up royally and only realized it too late. He's not happy. He's not reveling in the temptation. He *regrets* it. And he misses the person he belatedly realizes is the one he truly loves. I hear that in the original, but I don't hear it here. I hope it's clear that I really like what you're doing with Lawrence. Your other videos have me dancing all around my apartment tonight. I just think this particular cover isn't there yet. But it could be pretty great. I hope I'll get to hear it live sometime. :)

[@stinkypinky8795]

Dude needs to ditch the dirty ballcap.......this is a performance....not milking cows

[@adrianpilcher703]

What? Really? Talent but wrong song.

[@aljones9684]

No.

[@robertcameronjones]

I like Lawrence, but I don't like this cover. That song needs an organ, not a piano. That's just for starters.

[@wroot1]

Cringeworthy

Love it
