Passion Pit performs “Sleepy Head” in bed | MyMusicRx

[@davidstark2973]

I really want him back... his music is really what I need now

[@jeffayling2984]

I don't understand the hate. I think Michael is incredibly talented. Not a perfect vocal performance, but damn impressive at the very least. He has a beautiful singing voice, and this song fits perfectly with the strained, falsetto vocal.

[@shell62783]

Ive seen Passion Pit twice and they were awesome live. No effects were used on Micheal's voice. He is very talented. I won a pass to meet them backstage and they were really nice.

[@qVICKYq]

Michael, how are you? Thank you for taking the time and doing this awesome thing. This version of Sleepy Head is beautiful. You look great. You seem relaxed, well rested, and happy. I miss you and Passion Pit very much. It's so nice to finally see you again after the long break. I hope you're having a great time, and I hope to see you very soon. Best wishes to you and to Passion Pit. Good luck!

[@dyannacortez15]

This makes me so happy, just seeing him perform. I wish him the best and I'm very much anticapating a new album.

[@nicolel6007]

You can't even hear his strumming over the squeak of his fingers sliding between frets... but on another note entirely, hot damn, is he attractive!

[@xTriSarahTopz]

Hasn’t realized this has been posted 9y ago until I just said it hahahaha

[@heidilarsen9787]

beautiful. I have always loved the acoustic verson of this song. Actually every version of this song. Good job Michael!

[@titanicsmusic]

damn this is so good. this guy is real as hell and that is always worth something. sounds great - keep it up.

[@kollapsiblelungs]

...this is the very first song i heard about this band. and i'm very glad i'm hooked...

[@thisisbecker]

I clicked on it thinking, "I'm not sure about this," and now after playing it I'm at that point where I didn't realize how badly I wanted this until now.

[@littlebigspacemidge]

That voice.. It's so beautiful!

[@Psychonauto]

Love this so much- acoustic songs sound so blissful. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@ellasXS]

Beautiful raw talent, love it

[@SakuraQueTeImporta]

And everything is going to the beat And everything is going to the beat And everything is going And you said, it was like fire around the brim Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim Like stars burning holes right through the dark Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes You were one inch from the edge of this bed I dragged you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst With all their lions, with all their might and all their thirst They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

[@Keithider]

I am uncontrollably excited for the third album!! I check you're website and itunes every Tuesday just waiting for some new info!!! I also check your twitter all the time!! I listen to a lot of indie, alternative, indie pop, and indietronic bands and my favorite is by far Passion Pit!!! :)

[@indiiedreamer]

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!

[@ebaum1]

I don't care what you have to do in order to produce a sound that I enjoy It doesn't take away from a song if I find out that it was synthesized or altered in post. I like what I like. This wasn't as good as the album version but who gives a shit. I appreciate Passion Pit for having the balls to make music that doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone .

[@st4155]

This is great, this song works just as much without the electronics.

[@hugoellis1116]

I want so many more acoustic covers...

[@Josh-sp3ms]

Adorbs.

[@EvesEvilVideos]

I still think he looks adorable

[@Sneklord100]

It's been a while since Michael sang something somewhat new. Can't wait for that 4th album!

[@rayannesandes3231]

Beautiful creature.

[@yanjavierochoa8751]

he IS alive !

[@kristinabusch1721]

I. love. this.

[@UnIeash]

Awesome!

[@wanderback]

This is pretty great.

[@andylee4801]

When are you guys dropping a new album.... :( been waiting

[@deangriffin2731]

their new album comes out in april

[@alejandrat6789]

Such a great cause. About 7 years ago my mother was diagnosed with cancer, and evidently spent a good 18 months in bed because of chemo therapy and recovery. Although It was tough having to take care of a single parent as a preteen, I can't imagine what it may be like in the position of a child in a similar situation. Is there any way I can make a contribution to this organization?

[@isaacantonius9308]

Amazing *O*

[@avc4459]

lowkey love this version, but the guitar squeaking gets on my nerves. but his voice gives me chilllls

[@mafiaman8787]

Nice job, you guys should come home to buffalo and play down at the waterfront. its legit. seriously a damn good time last summer at Kerfuffle.

[@TheJuniorflys]

Haters talk shit till they get locked jaw:/....bravo dude.haters gunna hate

[@thegarethify]

criticism isn't hate

[@danielwruck4287]

He doesn't even have locked jaw, he does that with his jaw to get the high pitch voice.

[@Berrnaal]

Love you!

[@allab0ut-fl0wers-74]

YES!!!!!!!!!

[@ianwaddell3931]

this is the first sighting of Michael since like december of 2012..

[@CarterGray1]

Dank af

[@alesharks5135]

All i can hear from the guitar is the squeak of the strings...

[@xTriSarahTopz]

I loveeeee this in so many ways! The only thing that has ever bugged me is the scraping on the strings during chord changes. There’s a certain amount that seems reasonable and then there’s an excessively loud and dominating screech as the fingers slide upwards. Everything about this song is amazing, including the vocals! I just feel like there could be improvement in that one area only-the cleanliness of that left hand vertical slide. The slipping of the left hand on the strings should never ever be louder than the chord itself. Maybe it’s my phone, but I didn’t hear much aside from the beautiful voice and the squeaksqueaksqueak. I know those chords are being played but they’re sooo overpowered by the sloppy chord switches! Not even an troll. I’m seriously in love with you guys and this song hahaha I just wish there was a bit more of a gap between the fingers and the strings on the way to the next note!

[@Majecaps]

When is he going on tour in my bed?

[@janettcontrerasg6831]

que guapo duerme él :P

[@DeviantMeg]

Well this is fucking wonderful

[@MaurideHaro]

Is he wearing a glove?

[@AlexMR]

Give him a break, he's not really a guitar player, his instrument is the synth. No hate on my baby.

[@mexidraw]

You should try to use that triangle shaped thing for guitar and then don't squeak the strings

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

The only thing wrong with this performance is the finger sounds on the strings.

[@SSketchii]

I don't hear anything from the guitar besides from squeaking, but the voice makes up for it. Sort of.

[@avc4459]

hi

[@johnnybrookesmusic8220]

I want to love passion pit so much but listening to this just shows me how many effects this guy uses on his voice to accelerate his falsetto singing :( until now I thought it was all full voice. Unless he just did falsetto for the acoustic version. Either way I'm sad and not too impressed D:

[@bantamaustralorp7347]

He doesn't use any effects on his voice in the studio versions of songs. If you listen carefully, he simply layers many, many tracks of his own voice all on top of each other. That simultaneous chorus of multiple Michaels gives him that awesome sound. But it's all him.

[@hibngoodolson]

Actually he doesn't use effects (usually), when he does covers he does them differently and when he tours he changes it up to give people variety.

[@Rintintimtimtom]

its acoustic, dude.

[@johnnybrookesmusic8220]

I'm aware of what it is haha.

[@hi_elyse]

I hope you realize that he sung like this because it was acoustic. He doesn't use effects on his voice lol

[@bryanasare1632]

isn't passion pit a band?

[@chloebuckingham8847]

technically no. Touring, yeah, but it started as just him.

[@bryanasare1632]

Chloe Buckingham oh.

[@dannysebass]

The song sounds decent but the sliding on the guitar strings is so painful to listen to for the two minutes....

[@ywamdan408]

He's kind of pitchy but good effort

[@vizardly]

Live Passion Pit is disappointing, so what. Their music is amazing and unique, it just makes you so happy!

[@superMLZ3]

:D

[@ajbdkla3652]

first

[@BOYS3CR3T]

It sounds terrible, just like what I imagined an acoustic version of sleepyhead would sound like.

[@dodo13111]

I don't know but I kinda like this more than the original!

[@hi_elyse]

Hm, we must have listened to different songs then, because anyone with even a little bit of knowledge about music would know that this sounds amazing.

[@BOYS3CR3T]

Smiling Arin Turnip I forgot knowledge affects how my ears perceive pitch and tonality. Please enlighten me further superior one.

[@hi_elyse]

***** Ok, well, you clearly can't read. I said "Knowledge about music" Not just "knowledge" Just admit that you're wrong, hon

[@BOYS3CR3T]

I see that you are concerned that you are losing the argument, since you are stooping so low as to call out whether or not I can read based on me minimizing my response by condensing what you said. CLEARLY I was paraphrasing what you said when I said "knowledge," rather than say your entire phrase "knowledge about music" regardless of me using the term "knowledge" or "knowledge about music" my statement still makes sense, and I still stand by it. Therefore your argument = invalid. But diverting from the original source of argument by pointing out someones "so-called" mistake rather than focus on the topic at hand is a common tactic used by someone who is realizing they just said something really stupid. Second common tactic used by such people, is telling me to "admit I am wrong" before I have even responded and suggested I was right. Deuces.

[@joedurgam101]

Yikes. I'm a fan of passion pit, but this is pretty awful

[@TheHeadlessMusician]

Aw, shame. He could've sang it an octave lower, it would've been so much better. This was pretty damn bad. Shame, shame.

[@wakaiiofficial]

[@mrtumnusmusic]

good god this is toss

[@coalfkslekfk402]

I like Passion Pit but this is fucking awful

[@MC-cr7rm]

i couldn't take this seriously...

[@MomoMosquitox]

It is really hard to listen to, really bad, although I love this song but this version is nothing for me

[@Spagia6]

Awesome!
