I can't remember if I've commented or not, but the first time I heard this was when I saw them in London England at the end of 2019 after a break up that fucking ruined me. They closed with this and I made sure I found out what it was called... And then played it to literal death. I cried honestly for days and days while listening to nothing but Lune.

@@IcarusNadir his voice here is good, it’s just very pitchy.

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

He doesn't hit every note and doesn't go as high as the studio recording. The vocals in Lune are ridiculously hard. Long belts, upper register singing, it's all about power and control to hold those top-of-your-range notes. You can do that in a studio, but live you're either asking to be burnt out half way through or hurting your vocal chords. Almost no vocalist captures their studio recording live. At least we know he's not auto tuned! He hit some great notes here, too, I'm not trying to take away from his performance, just demonstrate live stuff is hard.
