Its such a serious and emotional tone but i can't stop looking at her "They always say yee haw but never ask haw-yee" shirt

[@samwilliams6679]

Can I buy this shirt? Does anyone know where it’s from? I’ll PayPal anyone who can tell me where I can buy it 😜

[@adondriel]

but it's got a collar so it's all good!

funny cuz all I can focus on is her voice.

Even though it was in the title, did NOT see that reprise coming. Was in complete tears one second and then laughing and dancing the next

[@doubtyea]

it's like the positive, actually cathartic version of the constant up and down of social media / life. "people are dying, awe look at this kitty" vs "all is lawrence and nothing hurts for too long"

[@BrunaChaves09]

This song is super special for me. You first released it a few days after I broke up with my first ever boyfriend. We decided to remain "friends", so he was casually messaging me every now and then, commenting stuff like "Oh, the weather is crazy lately huh?" or "It's getting really cold don't you think?", trying to keep it casual and cool. But oh, how hard it is to talk about the weather - and other casualties - with someone who you're not together with, someone who you still have feelings for... Even when the sky was grey I was feeling so damn blue. Thank you for writing such great songs, Lawrence, songs that speak directly to our soul.

can we talk about how unbelievably skilled and talented Clyde is? Like of course his voice, but his skill on the PIANO?? my god i always rewatch the parts of these kinds of videos where there's a solo shot of him playing lol its amazing! i've had this on repeat since it came out 😍

[@Zack_Taylor]

You can see an old clip of Lawrence playing with Antwan Stanley and he's clearly impressed by Clyde's playing. If you can impress a man like Antwan who's surrounded by people who are obnoxiously good at music, you're doing something right. Clyde's musical ability is actually insane. It's fun to hear him nerd out about music theory.

[@towenaar7422]

dude it's his arrangement skills that get me. very very good

[@martinscholz5496]

He remembers me of Randy Newman - but with a little more punch in his voice

I know these guys are from New York and proudly so… but lemme say as someone who’s lived right down the road from New Orleans for over fifty years…. Dr John (and a whole lotta other great local musicians) are in Heaven looking down on these young people and smilin’ from ear to ear. You give us old folks hope for the future of music…thank you 🙏❤️

This is one of the best accidental finds I've had so far I literally told Google to tell me what the weather is. And thinking I was gonna here Temps rain and wind speed etc this plays and yet I still was not disappointed

[@Ram-pz6ez]

The Amount of Control the Vocalist has is Incredible

[@vanh871]

Song goes from heartbreakingly sad to calm peacefulness to feeling good, just like the phases of a breakup

[@bauble0]

There's something about your music that settles deep in the core, almost a warm unease. Unease at the fact that some people can be so musically gifted and generous enough to share it with the world. I think the quarantine is making me more dramatic than usual, but figured I'd let you guys know. Lots of love, keep up the fantastic work.

[@jakewilloughby4461]

Totally agree

[@FrankDeMarco]

Thanks, Surfing the Clouds! Your words about Lawrence hit me the same way Lawrence gets me with each new song. Same great gut feeling!

[@patrickm.2793]

It has nothing to do with the quarantine. They've been hoarding talent way before it all started.

[@bauble0]

[@vancefowler441]

I absolutely lost it when Clyde came in at 3:10! So good!!!

[@florriemccarthy9347]

Clyde's playing is just incredible, sensational, amazing, talented. Honestly mind-blowing, his playing is so percussively funky and all so natural, with awesome little chromaticy bits in the solos and his chord voicings - God, the unbelievably PERFECT voicings - to mention but a few points of enjoyment. I idolize him as a player and try to style my playing off his. I completely look up to him for inspiration in playing piano.

[@freddienoleniii2323]

I am so in love with the ensembles that Lawrence puts together for the acoustic songs. Just so much talent and training in one space. It's just sublime.

[@brianpalmer967]

I'm so glad there are people like this who bring such beauty into the world. This song and rendition didn't exist until these fine folks came along. Thank you.

[@CapoHJB]

After she sang "my greatest fear is that the air will never clear" 2:00 . I felt that, and I think I felt it because that was went the song became personal to her, That was the moment when she got "in". The rest was history. Whole lot of talent, sensitivity and intricate harmonies too! Really love it!

[@ExMyHeartOut]

My jaw hit the floor at the same speed and time that Clyde slid down the piano keys in that epic glissando (@4:35)

This song makes me cry every time I hear it, even before hearing Gracie's story behind it. But even through the tears, you can tell everyone had such a great time at this session! Hearing all y'all together and making music so excitedly and with such intense passion is such a great escape right now, and thank you so very very much for sharing it.

[@TheJoKoala]

Casey Prohn what is her story behind it?

[@n_a112]

@@TheJoKoala on her Instagram page, she described it as "a love song that you desperately don't want to write" and she further explains how she "escaped to a bathroom at some home she was staying at on tour to sing/cry the unintelligible beginnings of the song into her voicenotes". So just knowing how emotional, personal and raw it was for her to write, just underscores the beauty for me.

[@TheJoKoala]

Casey Prohn thank you :) yeah, i absolutely love it as well

[@gwendolynhaag6950]

This is absolutely gorgeous. And the gospel take at the end!?!? Looked so fun! Your smiles are contagious! Thank you!

First off, this is amazing. Second, let's just all take a second to appreciate the "That's the saddest thing we know how to do to" at the end from Jordan I think 😂

[@AaronXCII]

For everything I’m going through right now in my life, this song literally feels like it was written for me. This is why music is so special, songs like this give me just a little bit of hope, just another small reason to just keep on living on and maybe, just maybe... one day I can be together again with the one that got away.. Gabrielle if you ever see this, today, tomorrow or in years time, just know I miss you every day, I love you, I always have and always will... until the end baby

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Damn. I don't know if I could play piano jammed that close to a wall. Okay, heck, I'm fibbing. I couldn't play it anyway.

I don't understand how talent can break your heart, but it can. Wow.

I’m actually speechless. I watched them open for Jon almost a year ago and now I think I love them even more than him. This actually blew my mind. There were many points in the song where my jaw just dropped, and the reprise was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on KZbin. I love this so much 😤

Jon’s got great lyrics and production talent, but Lawrence seems to make such a better live band, and I like their melodies and skill set more.
