big props to the director and the production team for making these live videos compliment his sound perfectly… it’s like a reimagining of what a live performance video can be and it’s super beautiful

[@smokey21980]

This man is a generational talent

[@MatDeCesare]

Eh

[@youtubenoob]

How so? It's alright.

[@kaylons]

There are many artists out there, undiscovered by the majority, that are 'generational talent'. The only difference between Mk.gee and such artists are rhat he was able to break through the attention economy. Music is a commodity, mainstream ""content"" is simply repeating a repeat of a repeat of someone else's influence, and art for art's sake remains underground. In case you didn't read, I love Mk.gee. Straight up. Still, I believe this type of comment is nothing but blind fanaticism. I'm sure there's equally as much 'generational talent' in underground scenes or even international scenes. Hell, Mk.gee's music is heavily indebted to Black musical roots. I'm sure there's cool POC musicians out there doing stuff as nice as Mk.gee. Don't ask me who bc I don't know, I have a life.

someone wake the academy up and give this kid all the grammys already

[@Simpshady32]

We need an album of year nomination at a minimum.

[@ntanglr]

I wanted to say that the last thing his music needs is a token of appreciation of these out of touch, self serving, gatekeeping assholes, but I realized that would shoot him into the mainstream

[@fudbob5889]

Pay no attention to the academy. Without air, they will suffocate

Oh barf.

[@readthetype]

That’s not a thing. No one, anywhere, ever, has used those words to describe anything. Certainly not a KZbin commenter. It’s as absurd as reading _“Don’t forget about the background singers! They were electric!!”_ No one describes anything as “electric.” The problem is that the robots were programmed by morons.

[@sqtski]

@@readthetype buddy.... it's a regular show reference lmfaoo

[@DoctorManBand]

These live versions really carry the energy and sounds he brings to his actual shows. Nice treat for folks that missed his tour, they put you right in the room with him. Hell yeah Mike.

Incredible song writing with unique sound. It's like heroin

[@AdrianDrott]

The way he edges the guitar 'til it sneezes you can tell it feels so good.

As a guitarist, Mk.gee has simultaneously inspired me beyond belief and terrified the livivng fuck out of me.

The amount of planning, practice, and preparation that goes into something that feels so effortless doesn't go unnoticed with his music and these visuals that accompany them. Just genuine greatness.

I love how the lyrics convey this feeling of almost accepting a situation but not being fully satisfied but the way hes singing them sounds angry and almost confused.

[@christianherrera8359]

His voice is so raw ughhh

[@alexalvamusic]

this song at shows is otherworldly. mk.gee fans knowing all the lyrics and just belting their hearts out… the best

[@wasiuanimashaun]

Him and Dijon are building their own cinematic universe. This is a Special run

[@BarrettPfeifferBB]

Playing those riffs while singing is actually insane.

[@t.m.p8187]

And why the live versions so much better than the studio!!!

[@imslicc]

because album versions are the 'safe' version of the song. here you have him jamming over his own track and being way more dynamic.

[@publicpressure2147]

I’d be lying if I said this didn’t make me tear up.

[@fabianaairplane]

I found this song yesterday by spotify radio and was immediately struck by it. I was trying to make a playlist for someone and I had to stop and listen to his album. An overwhelming sensation of raw emotions haunted me from start to end. I love death and I love life. Thank you for the art!!

[@BoyCott-hl3ht]

I’m so happy to hear this masterpeace, waiting for a new revelation like that in electric Music for 10 years. Your live records are intense. Bravo from France ❤
