M. Ward Fuel For Fire on Jools Holland

[@OGCaptainGrunge]

One of the best live performances Ive seen on here. You can actually see and feel the emotions while he plays. And for those who cant appreciate his talent, just doesnt understand music. Its not just about leads and chugging E. Its about projecting your emotions through talent. And this man does it.

[@user-kq5qp6dh8l]

Robert Fisher well said Robert.

[@83watford]

The original transmission date was 10th June 2005 for anyone who is interested!

[@davem5210]

I literally got chills the first time I seen M. Ward perform

[@juanrules]

this song just made me go out and get all of M Wards catalog.

[@CaliforniaJoker1]

This is 4 minutes and 18 seconds of pure gospel acoustic greatness.

[@1234FranciscoVasquez]

Excellent. He really is one of the best around! M Ward makes me happy :D

[@dotsie7320]

sitting here with lonesome tears in my eyes watching this. Utterly touching. Love M. Ward.!

[@altrock17]

he's definitely in the top five, in my books.

[@TheMzemari]

Geezus, what a simply perfect masterpiece. I can watch this over and over.

[@TheVioletnature]

One of the best live.

[@SNLove15]

What made me fall in love in the first place and continues to again and again.

[@katiepatterson103]

Best version of this cracking song 😍

[@blooskygurl]

A long distance soothe in his guitar. Like a healing from home. Following that north star Wardy... Bring us home....Lonesome for fuel for fire. The Magnificent7

[@naturalrestingface4909]

Top dollar. Love M Ward.

[@natty71991]

now I remember why I used to love M. Ward so much... I'll listen this again mor often... :)

[@Winnenoise]

Marvelous Ward!

[@jusjus32]

he's so amazing. the song takes my breath away. he's such a handsome man!

[@michaelgaren]

Incredible voice, just gives me shivers

[@EpicHale]

m ward so underrated

[@thegreatpumpkin1313]

Top notch. One of the best of our generation.

[@pontepolentepontepi]

Beautiful !!!

[@rodrigocs666]

his lyrics are amazing

[@skithekey]

Simply one of the best.

[@jacobforreal5221]

Great M.Ward live song

[@sidnomis1]

After a recent endoscopy, I was told that I have a bunch of ulcers in my duodenum. The doc said they are caused by stress and he prescribed nexium to heal 'em... Though nexium may heal my ulcers, m. ward's tunes takes my stress literally melts them away. What an amazing feeling when I feel my shoulders tingle and get lighter...

[@lisawalking]

love.lovelove.love.

[@Camila-pq6le]

i just love him

[@vasilshkutov2890]

How does he do it, really. Magic.

[@Captain2Pig]

this was in mid June 2005 (same night as Plantlife were on); first time i saw him and went and bought the album - this is the best song on the album

[@earmud]

whoever mentioned m ward for president is pretty much right on. his relation to the common hu(man) is as close as you can get. thanks to all who support real music. take care

[@sashapentovmusic]

I like this version, even though it's slower than the album version. M. Ward is a great singer/songwriter.

[@Jrich79]

Fan-fucking-tastic is right on. This is amazing. Such a great rendition of this song, especially with the harp.

[@sashapentovmusic]

I cried when I watched this; it was too sweet . . .

[@Nervescheme]

How sweet.

[@jam76]

Seen him support Feist in Glasgow and he was very very good,met the good man after the show and got his autograph.

[@_CoasterNinja]

M. Ward for President!

[@AlecB76]

You're right chermany. That album is an epic work of art.

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Fantastic.

[@TheDavidtk240]

Nice...Reminds me of my vacations. Well done!

[@radiohead322]

harmonicas are great. so is m ward. :)

[@simonflinch]

WOW!

[@marshvernet]

sensational...thanks!

[@kinseythreesome]

This song sends chills. Another song I love that feels like this is Elvis Perkins’ “Chains.” Another one: Little Joy “With Strangers”

[@MrByrnzie]

m. ward for president

[@rodrigocs666]

love his guitar like a strange sound..

[@MissDimples87]

Ugh....Hurts so good.

[@cardbored_]

Indeed, I feel the same way my friend.

[@phuuyay]

saw him at twilight in utah...awesome show. he's a pretty modest guy.

[@mati0313]

unas de las cosas mas bonitas que escuche

[@skindiving]

Mine to and applauding...

[@asdetres]

The intro sounds like Chinese Translation! Awesome songs

[@19robz84]

@kplorange064: you're right, but also consider listening to the intro of bob dylan's track "sara". make shure it's the original album track from "Desire" and no crappy cover. makes me shiver for years now.

[@DocBrownGuitar]

i definitely agree with you

[@PriestsandParamedics]

@KatieinaLull This is from the album Transistor Radio.

[@Steverichparker]

@Korynnn he's basically just always amazing... no matter what

[@sidnomis1]

@DeadMansBones Well, it's like this, at least for me: Have you ever bit into an orange while expecting an apple? It's a bit of a shocker. I listened to Ward for years before I heard that he and Zooey teamed up. I was genuinely excited to hear their creations, but when I started listening to it, it was like biting right into that orange again. It just wasn't what I expected. It has left a bad taste in my mouth since... but that's the beauty of music... different strokes for different folks. :)

[@jleoblues]

Wow: Awesome technique and he writes sophisticated songs, John Mayer look out!

[@911elijah]

I am greatful.

[@davedylan22]

id never linked him to tom waits before, but you're right!

[@andrewleeka3304]

i know for sure i am a m ward fan, and this song was never a top pick for no perticular reason other then my drive to work is only 30 mins and i can only fit in so much m ward.. but this is my first time seeing this song live and i am in awe. this song will be now in the line up for sure haha

[@uprightpiper]

pathos, deja vu and nostalgia- like missing someone but not knowing who

[@robertholm1808]

Yup

[@NathanielCWhite]

I hear so much louise Armstrong is his voice.

[@freedommagcrew]

it's fantastic to see him performing without a baseball cap on!!!!! =)

[@Mauldinian]

magic

[@nicodeemus127]

i saw him touring for transistor radio in a small bar in hoboken. i hadnt heard of him but a friend suggested i check out the show. he opened with "you still believe in me," it was unreal. anyone know where i can find a live version of that tune?

[@plusmin09]

@orangesuitcases Music is influenced by other music, definitely, that's how original music is made. People take their influences and try to take it to a new level. Mozart did it, Rachmaninoff did it, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Mars Volta, The Flecktones, Rippingtons, and there's new original styles being discovered/created right now. M Wards music might of been ground breaking a couple hundred years ago...

[@sparpie]

I'm sure you are much better. Post a response video of yourself, and I'm sure everyone will give you the same respect you gave this talented and dedicated artist. Have a nice day!

[@biginjapan7824]

I love M ward. Can’t find his tab books to buy anywhere online..can someone help?

[@jleoblues]

I realize that. They have two similarities: . They are both young and very technically proficient players. M.Ward writes complicated sophisticated songs while Mayer writes what I would call "bubblegum"

[@MachiavellisThePrince]

@Korynnn he doesn't need Zooey, but they make beautiful music together.

[@mrjfray]

@Korynnn He doesn't need her, but they do sound awesome together.

[@matt7491]

way better than the actual recording

[@nickandmikec]

Yes,Nice song-Listen to Danny O'keefe "Good Time Charlie's got the Blues" I think M.Ward basically got inspired from this song.

[@PSILOCYBIN8]

absolutely amazing. wow. lol

[@pauljwilliamsofficial]

Yes it fucking is Joel

[@HughBurgessSinger]

Like a young Tom Waits

[@No2BHO]

epic

[@RandomMusingsdpecs]

I think Zooey writes the songs - definitely the lyrics, not so sure about the music - and Matt just arranges them, if anything. In any case, She & Him has sort of grown on me again, but I love M. Ward's solo stuff. And Monsters of Folk - hope that comes back again.

[@trinitytechteach]

rave on pal, i'm inspired.

[@plusmin09]

Hey I don't listen to mainstream pop either. This is indie pop which is usually a new version of some old pop music. This shit has been done, over and over and over again... and is still going on. Enjoy!

[@immurpusha1]

More harmonica!!

[@LuckyJuke]

WOnderful song ! :) Thanks to 1Jisom for sharing this one =)

[@Samurusai9]

@deadheadfan71 Have you heard of "The tallest man on Earth?"

[@orangesuitcases]

@plusmin09 I guess I get that... I wish I had some witty retort... unfortunately I don't. So congrats... you win. I still like the song though... so uh... take that!

[@KatieinaLull]

which ep is this from?

[@jleoblues]

I promise never again. But allow me to make that comparision that both individuals are very technically proficient and play well. One writes mature sensible -well thought out songs while the other rights trite-BS--Nonsense like "Your body is a wonderland" and "Waiting for the world to change".

[@vasilshkutov2890]

My life story.

[@trapperjohn80]

@plusmin09 Indie pop, eh? Sounds like the blues to me.

[@cheifgeorge]

Does anyone know what key this is in?

[@gabriepell]

@aethefox7 That is no way to judge artists. The same was said of Neil Young, so would you have them just crawl under rocks with all of their talent? Just because he plays a harp on some of his songs with a guitar?! Your comment is incredulous.

[@plusmin09]

@orangesuitcases I had heard a lot about M. Ward and a bunch of people giving him a lot of respect. I was just disappointed when I saw his stuff. He's a solid guitarist, just not quite up to what I heard about him. There wouldn't be anything new if there wasn't any difference in taste, so keep on supporting who you dig. M Wards way better than Kesha...............

[@plusmin09]

True on how pop stars are easily influenced if not forced to have a producer mostly write the stuff just to conform to the current trend in music. pitiful but true

[@rubsan79]

@Korynnn but Zooey needs Ward and i think she decerves his support

[@NihilistNoir]

Does she write songs? I've only seen her compositions with Ward.

[@gabriepell]

@aethefox7 You don't have to call me any names; let's just talk or debate or whatever this is. First, you're calling him a "rip off", which is an insult, since you're not just saying he happens to look like Dylan. I'm guessing that's our main disagreement, but please tell me: do you think Ward is purposefully trying to imitate Dylan? I would find that hard to believe though - I've been listening to him for some time. Second, harp is used all the time as a short version of harmonica.

[@mstark7]

@aethefox7 im sorry but if you think m ward is exactly like dylan than you do not have an ear for music. The only similarity is with the instruments, guitar and harmonica. which millions of people do, oh no. and people before dylan did too. Their guitar playing style is different, and their singing voices are much different, also their songwriting is completely different. Dylan was more of a metaphoric rambler, while m ward has a much simpler approach in his songwriting.

[@kingdiamondking]

i cant stop watching this.. hes like a mutant combination of nick drake and tom waits. fuck.

[@orangesuitcases]

@plusmin09 To be fair... have you seen any original music... well ever? Music is influenced by other music. That's it, that's music. If you think this is being done over and over then maybe you shouldn't listen to music, because you won't hear that much that doesn't sound like something else.

[@patowenmusic]

@cheifgeorge It's in D Major
