So real! 😂

[@timphlosion]

1. Clyde took no prisoners. 2. Pairing Gracie and Veronica is diabolical in the best way possible

[@kiarahambrick522]

Agreed and I’ll be honest I am so happy that they let Clyde shine for basically 75% of this song before Gracie even sang a word out of ensemble. Really let us vibe with him and enjoy his skill and passion as a musician.

[@groovyunicyclist]

I love Lawrence because they'll release a new song that everyone wishes was longer, and then they'll actually release a longer version.

[@eyezodiotic3197]

RIGHT

[@mikemcelhaney1046]

I almost did a spit take reading this. Well said!

[@KeemTheDreamer]

And make it acoustic at that

[@AnskarNEX]

and it's still too short

[@DPaisleyDaisy-pr5wz]

I LOVE that!! I JUST discovered them minutes ago. I’m SO blown away!!! I had to look em up n tell em I love them. 😊. ✌️🫶😶‍🌫️

[@MaryOsborne-zm1pq]

putting this here so that every time someone likes this, I will be brought back to this masterpiece. so excited to be seeing them soon 🥳🥳🥳

[@mikemakesmusic7]

Does Clyde’s voice remind anyone else of the old schoolhouse rock videos? Should definitely cover one of those just for fun!

[@tylermccaw8092]

Oh yeah, Bob Durough. I hear it!

[@pacificwhim]

He reminds me of Marc Cohn.

[@Merc-zf8zz]

I once described Clyde’s voice as Randy Newman and Ray Charles fell into Jeff Goldblum’s fly machine and came out one person. That opinion holds.

[@biggactor]

Right! “I’m just a bill and I’m sitting up on Capital Hill.”

[@thejoyofsax]

Their contemporaries Couch did a sweet version of Conjunction Junction

[@fraga.matias]

Wow, I need more Clyde shredding the blues on the piano in my life!!

He’s got a solo album called Homesick that’s got some great piano riffs!!

[@Merc-zf8zz]

“Oranges,” from Homesick gets a lot of audience requests at shows and the EP contains “So Damn Fast” which opens Lawrence’s 2nd live album, but “Columbus Ave” is Clyde at his most earnest, and “Hall-Crossed Lovers” is an absolute banger that deserves a full Lawrence arrangement w/horns. Homesick is definitely worth your time and money.

[@tutusue98]

This is giving Elton, Stevie, Randy, Billy... Freaking everything! New favorite! 🤩

[@aksharakumar4823]

YESS SO TRU like the introduction???? So Billy Joel coded I think a version like that would be kind of great????

[@natedog4th]

And some Michael McDonald

[@danielevans1550]

Put this version on spotify. Hands down the best version

[@kiarahambrick522]

They tend to wait a lil bit, but ultimately end up putting all their acoustic-ish versions on Spotify. Their jam in the van performance is there, even.

[@mikemcelhaney1046]

Yeah, this is when I find myself listening to KZbin through my car's bluetooth.

[@VidaDeJeremiah]

HOLY MOLY!! THE WAY EVERYONE WENT OFF AT THE END JUST AWOKEN MY SPIRIT!!!

[@lawrencetheband]

RIGHT!

[@jamesmilitello4511]

Lawrence is known and a successful band, but how are they not HUGE? The music industry is so weird. They deserve so much more notoriety.

[@thepianoman808]

hopefully their world tour brings in more fans and success. but a part of me wants them to stay small/independent and not mainstream hahaha.

[@micosilver]

Well, they ARE opening for Rolling Stones...😂

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

They just opened for the Jonas brothers that’s already huge

[@jamesmilitello4511]

@@halcyonacoustic7366yes I saw them!! Headline arena tour. Millions of followers, more radio play. Huge like the Jonas brothers, Dua lipa, Gaga . That kind of huge haha

[@joshhalton9977]

They're not willing to compromise the band's integrity for the easier path. Music industry is known for holding people down, who just want to do their own thing.

[@zackgee3084]

Shoutout Jonny koh for one of the best acoustic mixes I've heard in a while!!

[@lawrencetheband]

yesss shoutout Jonny Koh!!

I had high expectations for the accoustic-ish version of this song, but this arrangement absolutely set my pants on fire 🔥👖😂

[@TylerGlennBlack]

Clyde’s voice reminds me of Clyde Lawrence. Does anyone else think the Clyde sounds like Clyde Lawrence??

[@amandaturner4991]

Good call... He sounds EXACTLY like Clyde Lawrence.. Pretty cool trick..

[@treyyengo1746]

I love how Gracie and Clyde have no ego and let each other take the lead on songs without any tension. Amazing

[@VinMonte-en2bg]

I very sadly lost almost everything and everyone I had in life. I went from an angry man to a lost, sad man but then reunited with someone so special. Now I'm a man deeply in love & appreciative of life. Inspired and reignited and positive and thankful. I'm old enough to be everyone in this videos dad lol!! what resonates for me, "Good - good - good - goodbye! To the guy I used to be To the life I used to lead Because now I see You're the only thing that matters to me"

[@barneymiller5488]

Similar story here Vin. Over 50. Lost a lot. But okay at the moment. So I feel ya. Glad you're in a good place. Music really saves us sometimes doesn't it? Hang in there brother. Thanks for sharing. ❣

[@Cclearly9]

Thank you for sharing this! I love that music can transcend all time and mark moments in our lives ❤

[@joshhalton9977]

Its crazy how well all their music translates into these sessions. The arrangements only make great music even better.

[@mewiththeawesomehair]

We need an acoustic ish album!

[@kjononsense]

It's taken me 1000 watches to finally notice that at 4:36 the Bryants just put on different sunglasses. 😂🤘 They kill me, I love them.

[@chonkychookie6949]

this got 90s sitcom intro song vibes

[@NTH.96]

Thanks Clyde for talking with us beforehand. Appreciate all you do!

[@clintoncarver1926]

I noticed that one young lady had a hyphenated last name of Stewart-Frommer. In the early 70's in Northern California, I played with a drummer named Gary Frommer, who had played with Stan Getz prior to our meeting. He was a master musician and tought me many things about music and life. I wonder if there may be a connection. You guys just blow me away. Great energy and soul. You young people are steeped in the Blues wheather you know it or not. Thank you all so much.

[@cfaw21]

Rolling off the bench was the only way for Clyde to have finished that take. What a man

[@clsr1911]

There is an obscene amount of talent in that room. I love that they make sure to showcase ALL OF IT, EVERY TIME. Great to listen to, but even better to experience the love and appreciation in every one of these "acoustic-ish" videos. Thanks, @lawrencetheband

[@galaxybrian8039]

i adore Gracie's voice, but its super nice that Clyde took the lead on this one. I cannot get enough of his performance and piano skills. Every member of Lawrence is just stupidly talented and i'm grateful to be alive in a time where they get to make this music for us all.

[@chemicalmix]

Lovely to see a Clyde song, brilliant work all round,

[@OTV713]

The percussion on this is probably the most satisfying percussion I’ve heard

[@bphilippe3352]

These sessions are full of soul and energy. Lawrence is a band that makes you feel alive ! ❤

[@MrsO1983]

No lie...it was Clyde's voice on the Microsoft Ad that sent me searching for "Don't Lose Sight". Gracie was the sweetest bonus. But, everyone in this ensemble gives me chills. Let's bring back real music like this. PLEASE❤💯

[@spencethadon]

Same here

[@Riseaboveme]

Acoustic-ish is such an inventive and creative addition to the Music industry. Lawrence are pioneering the exciting, playful, and captivating performance of their great music in acoustic-ish form❤

[@Bran-e4q]

I really love that you go around and credit all the backup singers and band with tags for where to find them. That’s a really cool thing to do that most artists don’t.

[@JeffBee1]

Clyde is like if Ray Charles, John Mayer, and Randy Newman had a baby. Just crazy voice, crazy talented. And then Gracie? JFC. Lawrence needs to be, deserves to be the biggest band in the world.

[@ZoieKP]

I tear up every time i listen to any of these acoustic versions. Everyone's energy is is electrifying and really shows how much fun everyone is having. But also ITS FUCKING INCREDIBLE! eveyones voices are so unique but blends BEAUTIFULLY together! I will see you love at some point! ❤❤❤

[@romanalemania5559]

It’s impossible to watch this and not smile. So much soul and emotion, they kill it!

[@bassplur12]

This is real music real people making real connections playing real instruments feeling real emotions and putting it into their music! Its what music is supposed to be people getting together and making art that connects people together and makes you feel something not some music that a guy made in front of a computer by himself using a program or some random people that just write a song for you that you have no connection to! Music like this makes me happy because it shows me that the art of making music with actual people and actual instruments is still around and it gives me hope!!

I came to the comments for this purpose. Nathan went OFF 🎶

[@CloeteHenri]

Well, if Nêgah Santos is in the room, I know it is going to be a good one. Somehow she ends up playing with almost every band I like!

[@choochd]

Clyde's tone is just so inherently soulful. Like an OLD soul. But then he also delivers a fierce vocal on top of this! But Nathan's riff just after 5:40 took me outttt. That was one of the smartest vocal runs I've heard.

[@primacy11]

Every time I listen to one of these acoustic-ish takes it feels like I’ve been hit by a truck in the best possible way. Blown away.
