great job guys, the album is amazing. Love from Italy, keep on like that Clyde and Gracie

[@MU_STL_FAN1]

I don’t usually comment on KZbin anymore, but I absolutely love your music. I’m 50 and you have restored my faith in your generation’s ability to make real music and play live with no auto tune or backing tracks! I wish you included Shot on the acoustic-ish album, but I’m guessing that video was posted way before you guys were calling them “acoustic-ish” songs. I do hope you include that one next time you release another acoustic album!!

The track sounds over compressed though. Kind of hurts

@@NickzAndMikz Which is why I'm waiting for the 24bit release, hoping that'll help and it's only like that due to youtube compression

[@WillieCubed]

Things I like about this: - The bongo opening - "HEADLINE READS FINE" in unison - Clyde's shirt - Literally every solo - Jammy piano solo - The subtle cheers and hype in the background - That bridge that has me leaving something good to say - Linus literally making this the family business - The vocal flair of each singer in the choir - The on-point camerawork - JUMPING! This feels like it should be in the soundtrack for a movie. The ending feels like something I'd hear right before credits roll. Watching the premiere was worth it. Thanks for giving us a good morning! Can't wait to see y'all on tour!

[@Johnathanlongago]

I’m literally writing a tv show right now and this is absolutely on the soundtrack.

[@marcoroberts9462]

they made corporate soul😭😭 we are DONE for

[@RD-vt9uu]

If you put this exact performance on SNL, Lawrence would be playing arenas in a year.

[@Merc-zf8zz]

I’d love to see it, but nope. Sorry. Lorne Michaels/SNL seems to prefer performers who like live vocals buried in a mix with an album track. Watching acts like Sabrina Carpenter and Dua Lipa this past season made me want to throw something at the tv. Years ago, we laughed at Ashlee Simpson’s on-air flub. Now, stagecraft > musical talent seems the standard. It should be renamed Saturday Night Live-ish.

[@domirago]

Technically they've already been playing arenas this year, as the opening to Jonas brothers. And I'm pretty sure they would get their own act in no time

[@eoghan375]

This performance is clearly heavily polished and mastered. Not saying its not them singing but they wouldnt be able to recreate this quality in a live tv performance - just impossible.

[@mydogsareneat]

I sent it to CBC 3 times. Wont stop until its aired.

[@Lostwoz486]

@@eoghan375I just saw them live in Germany for the first time. I was SHOCKED at the great intonation and especially Gracie’s ability to shred those powerful lines deep into their set. She’s like a barely contained nuclear reaction. I’ve been let down by plenty of live performances, but Lawrence was definitely not one of them. I think they would kill on SNL.

Getting that many musicians to synchronize on “Buzzfeed” is so incredibly satisfying. Skipped back to that part more times than I can count before watching the rest. ACOUSTIC-ISH ALBUM WHEN???

[@justinconnor6266]

Clyde - the bastard son of Randy Newman and Ray Charles on overdrive - with his incomprehensible playing and somewhat Vishnu-like multitudinous paws rocking out these many piano licks to perfection. Gracie - Aretha Franklin meets the Goddess Athena on steroids - belting out the most soulful, yet improbable chords/range with such beauty and panache with lifetimes of style to spare on too many fronts to even begin to comprehend. Timeless. That, combined with these range-filled, spine-chilling singers and incredible band/players….? Dizzying yet so very humbling. Inspirational galore, yet somewhat distressing to even call myself a musician anymore after witnessing these two extraterrestrial wunderkinds who have recently become my newest obsession. This kind of talent, energy, songwriting, composition, enthusiasm and overall performance is JUST what we need for these sunken times. You have a new fan and I presume MANY new others in tow. These acoustic sessions are so bonkers good. MORE PLEASE! 😊
