Shakey Graves - Dearly Departed | Live from the Pandora House at SXSW

[@jodicrain4500]

2024 and this duet still goes so hard!

[@UtterlyClueless1]

This is honestly the one of the best duets I’ve ever seen performed. Adorable fucking chemistry.

[@mariamartone287]

Is this who he married??? I can see the chemistry between them. 😊

[@Halsfield]

@@mariamartone287 i looked it up and no he married someone else =(

[@thespiritof76..]

Bartons hollow by civil wars is pretty lite

[@TdotWolf]

id marry you too,

[@thespasticmindofastonedguy3266]

Did anyone else fall in love with these two while watching this? So cute.

[@matthewbunn5145]

10 yrs later, and this is still the best version

[@lottedunnell4642]

My partner of 8yrs, me and our 2 young daughters used to sing this in the car nearly every car trip. He passed away last May. First time listening to this since he's been gone. Hits so different. Hits incredibly hard. We miss you daddy ❤️💔

[@VeggiesOutFront]

💗

[@paulabee81]

😭💓

[@kendallelam3168]

Just lost my partner of 7 years Dec 1, ‘22. We also shared 2 daughters. We loved this song as well and it’s the first time I’ve listened to it in a very long time. Bless you and your babies.🙏🏼 Everything hits hard and different these days.❤️💔

[@GigachadAKM]

Partner? Ew.

[@andreasprokscha6357]

Stay Strong Lotte, Big Love from Germany

[@gtmirm8]

I like the chemistry between Shakey and Esme, and how it builds in the duet.

[@andrzejjablonski8571]

U got good eye.

[@MrJunkye]

I need more!!!!!!!

[@bbyteiii]

srsly addictinh to watch them perform together

[@notchamama7571]

Yes, it’s amazing. Watch this, then follow with his solo of it on the John Lennon bus at Hangout fest to really see his evolution in this song. Mind blowing!

[@Nothing2Interesting]

Oh I do! Good god I cant wait to see him live in September

[@mobilenoble27]

This is honestly one of the most perfect and beautiful songs I’ve ever hears

[@mobilenoble27]

Heard

[@theblacklines]

Even after six years, this song still gives me chills.

[@ghost0441]

Shakey is one of the few artists whose live performances sound better than their album counterparts. There is so much more warmth and tone in this vs the album version.

[@GoddessOfLoveEnergy333]

Samantha Crain is like that too❤

[@AmyJosMusicOfficial]

I will forever come back to these lives VS the albums

[@justinklink1588]

Am I the only one who prefers all of his "live" stuff over the albums?

[@tootsmcgoots1866]

***** It's real, you can see the purpose... touch the decibels

[@ForgeHaloRacetracks]

+Justin Klink It depends. Some genres of music sound better in the studio. But there are quite a lot of bands that do fantastic live. I have a friend that's the same way. It's kind of annoying to listen to songs that I love while it's live because not all bands sound the greatest. For instance; Helloween sounds horrible live and Greenday sounds fantastic.

[@eamonkuklok8967]

+Justin Klink Agreed sounds way better live.

[@beckm8083]

+Justin Klink I also like his earlier stuff too (before his albums) like late july, roll the bones, etc

[@tootsmcgoots1866]

Beck M yeah, you can really tell that the mushrooms are starting to get to him and ruin his creativity. I mean, we saw the benefits with Late July, but now he can't even play the same song with the same vigor and spice that we're used too. I couldn't agree more Beck M we should start a fund raiser. #NoMoreMushroomsForShakey

[@zadielacy7456]

It’s been 7 years since this was posted but the CHEMISTRY is undeniable

[@matthewdhewlett]

You can see that they're both having so much fun!

[@NicolasCurcioWriter]

its kind of crazy how much fun they are having

[@clairer1622]

Matt Hewlett it's truly one of the things that makes his music so good. he (and esme in this case) play how they want and have so much fun with it because it truly is their passion! It's amazing to listen to music with such energy and just plain fun!

[@ringsofsaturnn6153]

Thats because they r charmed by each other.

[@joelhurlbert8270]

I INSTANTLY became obsessed with this song. I can't stop listening to it. 8th time or so now.

[@abrahamgroves5887]

7 years later and I'm still.... fuckin.... looovin...... this!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrTechpimp]

How could anyone watch this and not think it's awesome.

[@Spacebarf]

Esme Is just Beautiful, I love her voice and the playful additude of the video. Would love to see them both sing together live. So far, the song has repeated at least 15 times... I can't get enough. I tried all the versions, this is by far my favorite!

[@reneehoward456]

Nick VargasI totally agree - this is the best version but the Spotify Session is really good too!

[@Spacebarf]

Thanks I'll have to check that out!

[@TJAdzima]

I saw them both live in Philly last year. Got Esme's vinyl and she signed it.

[@rdyjur]

50s-70s country, trip hop, jazz metal ! this guy is nucking futs

[@betsyl33]

Dude, it's satire.

[@rdyjur]

+Betsy Koski I'm not sure you know what satire is Betsy

[@TropSurf]

Yea, fuck Betsy! Get your shit together.

[@I_am_not_funny]

Lol what a great conversation to stumble upon.

[@amandamahaffey6319]

Haven't stop listening to this song for a week THANK YOU SHAKEY GRAVES AND ESME.

[@Rpendrick]

Same! >.

[@themapleandmahogany]

Yes me too :)

[@CheyMaelee]

this is the cutest thing ever

[@furmanfurman]

On repeat. Can't. Stop. Playing.

[@MT_SiTH]

Someone very special showed me this, now it reminds me of them ❤

[@aprilbell2348]

I have listened to this song about a 100 times within the past two days.

[@amorgan5844]

Commenting so you can come back and hear this gem one more time😂

[@heatherslick6797]

I end up here rewatching this at least once a year. Sooo much chemistry in this performance.

[@buddha2bass]

I love how playful they both are. Just livin life and enjoyin it

[@buddha2bass]

for example 2:50

[@kaylanw]

Evan Onuskanych You are absolutely right! She is adorable because of it.

[@themapleandmahogany]

Love it

[@chronicmango]

The chemistry. It reminds me of something I used to... CIVIL WARS. So good.

[@rachelgoremusic]

All you can do is smile when watching this. Can't stop listening. Their sound is infectious

[@andrewkravmaga1833]

Esme's boots, her voice, actually just everything just makes her the most beautiful girl in existence.

[@stevenbaum6505]

Totally agree

[@tedgerahedron]

👍

[@JeremiahObediah]

Nothing puts a smile on my face like seeing folks who just love to play!

[@JB-fl4wk]

I smiled the entire time. Their chemistry is palatable. Beautiful song. They've always made the best music together.. never stop. Much love from North Texas 🖤

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Love this! And Esme has THE cutest smile ever, omg.

[@ryansanders6949]

This deserves a billion views!

[@gilbag]

They look like they're thoroughly enjoying performing this great song - hope to hear them live someday

[@adri7352]

It's impossible for me to watch this without a big stupid grin splitting my face. Their joy is so contagious.

[@levimcelrath9232]

Can't wait for his trip hop, and Jazz metal stuff.

[@tedspores5434]

I love this version. Its so pure, with great feeling and chemistry. I have a huge crush on Esme Patterson!

[@clintonbuchanan3768]

Keep on rocking in the free world

[@jesuslovesyou2616]

[@joeyculley2256]

the energy felt from start to finish is so rare within a song.

[@Josh-ck1zt]

One of the greatest harmonies ever made

[@bottomsupbass]

i understand different tastes in music but anyone giving this a thumbs down must be bitter about a lonely childhood. even if you dont like this music its still plain to see that its very musical while being quite unique. still so catchy with a great hook . some people just throw in weird changes to be different and it ends up sounding fussy or uncomfortable. very cool changes while maintaining the flow of the song. so aren't all those thumbs down really just a reflection of how you feel about yourselves? See, weve all learned something today. have a great day and remember to love even the little notes and empty spaces

[@sasukethehusky7560]

tim starkey it's called an opinion. Look it up. Not saying I don't like this bc I do.

[@bottomsupbass]

Austin Parrish i was just small talking. people are totally free to have the wrong opinion.

[@sasukethehusky7560]

tim starkey except it's an opinion so it can't be wrong but it's all good man i like this music

[@LoganBowden]

This is so incredible. Ive never seen such good chemistry!

[@jasonruka1665]

Aaaargh?! These goosebumps may be permanent?!

[@Bananapickle23]

The chemistry between these two is palpable

[@BeccaMarie39]

They both have such amazing energy, love these two together!

[@NotableSavage]

That was way more than I expected. She gave me chills.

[@glassankles207]

Such a great song with phenomenal chemistry

[@elmercorn]

It really can't be much better than what this man is doing. Kudos to Esme Patterson for naturally nailing her part. This is real music. Shakey Graves just might be the greatest band name I've ever heard of

[@Tboltross69]

Watch the video for 'Late July' . He tells the story of where the name came from. It's pretty legit.

[@paulamariabarwick8817]

Back again.. the chemistry is insane!

[@zoekempston5633]

the first time i watched this i almost cried. such a true work of art. blessed.

[@nergalert4183]

if shakey graves walked into a room and said shut up i have an acoustic i would very quietly wet myself, but definitely shut up

[@Samalala80]

Exactly what I have thought since my ears first heard him!

[@newnotification30]

Me too. Im a dude 👍!

[@Mark.H.9192]

Nerg!!!! What you said!!! Hugs from Canada.

[@oldboehne1153]

I used to be that cool.

[@b3yonddr1v3n]

How would one loudly wet themselves? Things that make you go hmm..

[@rad9205]

Where does such raw talent come from??? Fricking AMAZING!!!

[@gregdawe2786]

its everywhere, people complain today about music being shit, there just not willing to go out and find it theese days.

[@brianmincher716]

Greg Dawe it's a damned shame they don't play this on the radio. This is art.

[@yousuxalot]

niki manaj had something to do with it....

[@katiekish5141]

Brian Mincher, I heard this on KDEC 100.5 independent radio out of Decorah, IA

[@brianmincher716]

Katie Kish that's great. If you are going to hear something this cool, it's gonna be on independent or college radio, something that's not commercial. Bro Country is dominating the airwaves and its awful.

[@brindsbackpack]

Back to this one again, still makes me smile!

[@ChuckD008]

She is breathtaking

[@whitneygranger4024]

And she is an excellent musician. Check out her stuff!

[@jonathanmccoy2634]

Chuck Kaslow she's the reason I come back.

[@teaspoon5476]

Me= In love with her

[@barefootfarmer4214]

Me too why cant I find her?

[@merlinsiervo]

Barefoot Farmer search Esmé Patterson

[@AlanRobb1]

Agree, great chemistry ❤ makes it that much better.

[@robbbbbbb1]

Just your typical mesmerizing perfection courtesy of Shakey. Long live the king.

[@frankstared]

Hot dang! One of the sweetest duets.

[@Vinadet]

I love this! The chemistry in their performance is infectious :)

[@anarchyeddy27]

Esme brings me back to this video over and over. She is beautiful with a voice to match. Watching her perform this makes me smile.

[@sethjackson2266]

#that's cap

[@AquariusCrystalwave]

This is what true music is about - to have fun, to connect with others, etc. - it's very much an experience. I think there is too much polishing up and seeking for perfection that we forget to take a step back and just unwind, smile, and have fun jamming out to music with friends. I can feel the passion radiating out of these two and it is always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the amazing work and keep making beautiful art!

[@charlottewhisperwood6202]

Someone I love very dearly sent me this video. He was right, I totally love it. I love how he gets me. I’m so lucky yo have found him - and this song.

[@lukewright18]

I....am... speechless. This makes my top 5 favorite live performances. Ever. My heart hurts, because its so good.

[@taylorhood8541]

this duet is so mesmerizing

[@andrewsteer2603]

Hands down, one of the best duets out there.

[@SunnyySunshinee]

I'm so freaking obsessed with this

[@taylorh6701]

They both seem so genuinely happy. So cute! Brings a smile to my face every time! (:

[@dalemac91]

I love how much fun they look like they are having. Makes the song 100% better imho.

[@JohnHertenberger]

Hard not to smile while watching them have so much fun with this. Crazy good.

[@adkikikrush6838]

He comes alive with her! Just love it!!

[@tbay312]

That sheer bliss! Dear God, this is why I play music.

[@davidlawspoonful]

I love the look they give each other after the take. It's like damn... we just fucking nailed that.

[@Gypsymama820]

I listen to this song ALL THE TIME! Y'all's chemistry is profound

[@karaamie5454]

This was magic. I wish I could buy THIS version of the song.

[@scottrichard5792]

I guess you come back here some time. Is this your favorite song of him?

[@Amanda-ii6cg]

4 years later and this is still one of my favorite videos on KZbin. It still makes me smile so hard while watching it. Their chemistry is so adorable

[@timmyturner2931]

Honestly this song does something to my soul...

[@organicistheway5956]

This is a real down home, true hearted performance. Real and raw is how Shakey Graves ALWAYS delivers!! I'm absolutely loving this duet with Esme. Brilliant sound!

[@dooderscoot2900]

Been listening to Shakey for years now, I'm convinced he's channeling the soul of some dead guy...

[@saxonde68]

I just love this so damn much! More than just a harmony, this feels like an actual connection

[@bangersnmash5381]

This is so amazing. Every time I hear it I remember I am alive.

[@wrecktherest208]

Revisiting after 5 years… same great vibe as the first time I heard this masterpiece. I love you both!!!

[@theNewCruelty]

10 YEARS!? Where have I been? This is amazing. Thank you! Woo hoo!

[@amyiamthechange1721]

Incredible! What an amazing pair!

[@jargero8203]

Long time fan... just wanted to come here and say "Hey I JUST heard this song in a Ford commercial!!!" No joke!!! Hope yall are getting paid for this... such an amazing "one-off" song reording 12/23/2022

[@Jspek01]

I heard this once when me and my uncle was drinkin and spent a good few months trying to find it again glad I did

[@Avalon248]

One of the best, most organic duets ever! You both flat out rock. Thank you for being.

[@elenamilitopingitore5044]

Exquisite! Perfect, no one else would do. ❤

[@erik_gerhard]

At the beginning he says his music is based on country music...one genre I have a really hard time appreciating...but this is excellent. This is terrific! Tell me this is country and I'll love country.

[@whvance]

What he produces is unlike anything else out there today. You don't have to like country to like Shakey. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are. If you haven't already, look up his Late July video from the Good Music Club.

[@erik_gerhard]

whvance Just watched it. +++

[@redjaredits]

it's because he's really a blues/folk musician all his music is fantastic when he performs he always performs songs a little different which is really awesome you should check out the video of him performing roll the bones from the good music club as well

[@riceboy287]

this is how music progresses.

[@JosephParkMusic]

Mainstream country is no longer really country. But older artists like Emmylou Harris (check out her songs like New Cut Road) or Iris Dement (like her cover of I Miss A Lot Of Trains) and now modern artists such as Shakey Graves, Shovel and Rope or Brandi Carlile help keep the genre alive away from the mainstream 😊 definitely give alt country and related genres a chance!

[@kathydimeglio77]

How could someone not Love this...TRIP HOP & Jazz Metal. This is a masterpiece!!!! You are both Earth Angels! 💖

[@scottrichard5792]

Oh, that’s sweet of you! Is this your favorite song of him?

[@54Wde]

The spirit and vibe these two give off is awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@michaelmurphy7198]

When I first heard this song it’s all I listened to for weeks now every now and again I remember it and it just never gets old, imagine knowing you created a timeless classic that will bring joy to people forever. Thats success Congratulations Shakey and Esme

[@adsvx]

Wow, that was just awesome. They are both great.

[@twintailsanimations4973]

Amazing chemistry between these two.

[@magflightmedia]

That is some real chemistry!

[@PsychCow]

These two looking like they are having a lot of fun, and would make some very talented/beautiful children.

[@yogawithadriene]

Love it! Happy Birthday Shakey Graves! Love you brother.

[@IncreasethePeace9]

Can I just say, if anyone feels like doing some yoga, this is the channel to go to! It's wonderful (Adriene also uses Shakey Graves' music in the intro which is a delight to the ears everytime I do yoga!) :)

[@CPizzle83]

My wife loves your videos!

[@christysperling744]

oh my, you two are friends? Please make a baby, it may just be the 2nd coming of Jesus.

[@McC815]

🌬🦋

[@backinblack1778]

i have watched this so many times ..what a real treat . These two make magic ! Esme is just lovely ....

[@CardinalSessions]

absolutely stunning

[@nadominhoca]

Indeed! (I am 4 years late btw)

[@danielgordon4873]

Just now discovered shakey graves today and I can’t stop listening to him. Great artist.

[@ChrystianGonzalez]

Still get chills every time I listen; fantastic.

[@rehamkcirtap]

This is the best version of this song

[@DontheJuan]

Do you see those heels itching for his suitcase drum and tambourine!

[@tiandasutton9245]

Don Kope haha, thought I was the only one spotted that, oh yeah 😉

[@tiandasutton9245]

Sure did!!! 😝

[@arsenicpharaoh413]

1:42!

[@existingman3000]

Hahaha 👍

[@MrScateboy]

Don Kope think he’s got used to keeping rhythm like that

[@FinWhite]

Doesn't this just make you insanely happy?
