Listen to this epic 6-minute song by Snail Mail, an American indie-rock solo project by guitarist and singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan.

i love how she switched the tempo in this its really unique

[@zackparker6015]

Cold ass riding didn’t expect to see you here Brandon lmaooo

[@michealjaymurphy]

@@zackparker6015 dudes an musician in his own right we all saw his feature on the tipster dis track

[@nextsatridol27]

This really woke me up. I was leaning in the entire time. She fully captures ache and you can hear that and you feel it, taste it, see it with your own eyes again. Damn, kudos to her. She got it.

[@danman6669]

Live music is not meant to be perfect all the time. That's the beauty of it. If you want a perfectly produced sound, listen to the album. If you want a true version of a song, though (sometimes with flaws), listen to the live version.

[@fewanda]

reeeeally enjoy when she holds the tempo making it slower and organic

[@AspenEmrys]

improvised tempo changes? another dimension of emotion!

[@troy2664]

This hits HARD. Somehow even more real than the original record. Incredible

[@vanillakilla8270]

literally no one has a clue about music in this comment section 😂 I okay guitar , keys ,bass and drums to a fairly high level and this rendition of the tune is fucking premium. Sick vocalist and underrated guitarist

[@vanillakilla8270]

[@daycareforbabycare665]

I think touring and all this attention is definitely exhausting to her and especially her vocals

[@reudevad]

wow

[@MMTheHighEndOfLow]

Why so much hate? Literally sounds good?

[@thirstypilgrim97]

Good grief, you not only don't know how the word "literally" works, but apparently you think a "?" goes after interrogative and declarative sentences.

I feel like she’s too focused on the guitar. Playing and singing is hard as shit. Sounds like her voice is strained. Buts that’s okay, listening to lush got me feeling all these feelings and shit.

lindsey if you ever end up reading this (doubtful) please don’t listen to these fucking jackass fucks in the comment section. this is fucking incredible and i am so in love with everything about you, you’re an amazing human being and an incredible musician. just saw you live last night at first avenue and you killed it. best show i’ve ever been to and i’ve seen alice in chains AND smashing pumpkins live. but your show was so much more personal and you showed such true, raw, emotion that no other artist could even come close to. you are truly an inspiration and i hope i can one day see and meet you again, your show has changed my life and i really hope you the best with everything.

To be out of tune and randomly drop tempo and catch up lol?

John Smith wasn’t out of tune at any point, tempo changes were stylistic lol?

Not a fan of the tempo changes whenever she sings

[@vahrzawofficialtracks]

A bit scattered...

[@scottlynch3246]

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly love this version and all. However, it does seem like she dropped like 3 klonopin prior to this performance.
