[@Dillmatic97]

This is the most underrated live recording I’ve ever come across. Phenomenal tone, impeccable rhythm, crowd participation at its finest…

[@jasmainmusic3736]

Factual!

[@YelowMello]

This and Yebba-My Mind are my favorites ❤

[@mikeliterus1628]

Oh man literally brings me to tears every single time she stops playing and just lets her soul sing for that brief moment..god damn that hits heavy

[@Sofarsounds]

She's outrageously talented! We love this video.

[@malcolmcrouch4663]

Best drummer in the world ever

[@mikeliterus1628]

Could you make it possible for me to see her live in person?? I am in Canada and would love to have your help in seeing her live.

[@morpheusxnyc]

This song should be retitled "Tears and goosebumps"... For real.....

[@jadaspencer8927]

I thought I was the only one who cried! It really is so beautiful.

[@YelowMello]

2024 and I'm still living in Midnight 🤌🏾

[@elenawest5313]

same here!

[@ivanstegachev]

Same. Its crazy. I'm wondering for many years now is Lianne too good so she aren't popular?

[@tcw00]

❤

[@fixedfocusfilm3068]

Arpeggiated Major 7th chords with harmonics punctuating, and then her rich, rich voice, vibrato on braided velvet...then, of course, she speaks-and she's British. How is she THIS dope?! 😍😍😍

[@everythingsome3377]

Do you know the exact chord changes she's playing?

[@leonardozorzimusic]

@@everythingsome3377 Here you go: Bmaj7, (Cmaj7), Dmaj7 (G#maj7, Gmaj7) Em9

there are some real singers in that crowd!!!

[@jerryedwin6790]

Im pretty sure most of the crowd is aint ordinary Crowd.

[@taylorthomas6260]

Jerry edwin right , the musically inclined

[@rosalynb8942]

sedG38 I know they sounded great!

[@d_no_allyn_86]

Still.. None of them are her. She's godly.

[@BaguioCityMe]

You must be new to sofar hahaha

[@jonsil001]

I love the way she plays the guitar, every tone and strum weaves with her voice, it's so beautiful.

[@acharich]

😍

[@1cboogie]

J.J. Wolfe those Chimes were awesome as well

[@garethedwards1187]

Yes, yes, yes. Beautiful performer, beautiful music, beautiful soul.

[@kelechii7209]

I love Lianne's playing style, its so rhythmic.. I can hear a lot of Jazz influences in her songs- could totally imagine Ella Fitzgerald singing this song for example- impeccable diction and phrasing, and she knows when to be gentle, belt notes and add vibrato to her voice.. Very controlled and dynamic vocals

[@Sofarsounds]

👌🎤

[@dallassolis5347]

very eloquently expressed and I totally agree

[@AmarisNWonderland]

The outro took me back to another place (Brazil) and time... with wonderful memories & melodies. She radiates beauty in every way. 💙

[@Duuster]

I cant imagine playing such technical chords while singing so perfectly. I always get the chills every time i watch this. Best live performance I've ever seen.

[@JeredtheShy]

Every last person in that room will be cherishing that memory when they're 80.

[@pizzi88g]

the luckiest people

[@ian-so5yr]

i'll cherish that EVERYDAY!

The LUCKIEST

[@cyrillewis8747]

JeredtheShy Seriously

[@CarefreeMaya]

Her voice is so effortless, it kills me 😭. I wish I could sing that beautifully.

[@cyrillewis8747]

Yes Honey Yes me too lol

[@andrewradtke3490]

I bet it took a lot of practice to get that good. No doubt she’s a natural talent, but skills like that are honed.

[@CarefreeMaya]

@@andrewradtke3490 of course, practice makes perfect 😃

[@monisolaelliott9346]

She is just so pure to her art and so damn lovely!

[@irfanardiansyah4128]

[@Kroesial]

That's exactly the word that popped into my mind: pure

[@poetrlsmith]

You are very lovely as well. 💓

[@natassiadominique2945]

Omg but why did they sound so good when they came on with the oh's?! C'MON, CHOIR 😂😂

[@makayla754]

Natassia Diggs 😄😂

[@rosalynb8942]

Natassia Diggs 😂😂🤣🤣 they ready!!

[@d_no_allyn_86]

A voice and artist that good.. Sure can inspire some people.

[@sidersproductions941]

The choir was ready.😂😂

[@georgechav2309]

🤣🤣 This is just my crazy guess but I think she's an artist's artist so it's possible that she pulls in those that 'already know'.

[@tanjamcgee6034]

When the crowd was singing with her, I just got chills

[@FallMacedo]

They sound like a choir

[@Bo7bbsie]

Mtt Lsa 😂

[@laurahayward7569]

Me too!!

[@randomdude6136]

Not an easy riff with those harmonics. Still easily fall in love musicians.

[@nc7182]

i actually prefer this (along with many of her other songs) to the studio version! her emotion really comes out in her voice here... so powerful

[@LafemmebearMusic]

I hear you but she loves both so try to love both as she conproduces it all and as artists its often the most true version to what we we hear in our heads, so basically both versions are worth your love 🐻🤷🏾‍♀️❤

[@tchai91]

Totally agree. I heard this version before hearing the studio version, which just feels over-produced to me. But she’s so amazing that I actually prefer all of her songs acoustic with just her and her guitar.

[@michaelistoma8356]

@@LafemmebearMusic i don't have to try love what i don't like. That version is much better then a studio one. Often artists don't like their own songs cause not all of them were produced by their own.

[@loonaya]

This one is incomparably better. I always cry when I listen to this one, she just hits me with raw emotion. Raw but delicate and subtle at the same time. I don't ever listen to the album version as I don't feel anything when I hear it. Just another okish catchy song. Overproduced, too many unnecessary elements. Those trombones sound like fake synth trumpets, but they are actually played, they just overdid them.

[@ndo533]

@@michaelistoma8356 well in this case she loves the studio version just as much. She traveled to Jamaica and reconnected with her ancestral roots and worked with a very talented producer to create the studio version, and its equally as heartfelt. That version is not even close to being overproduced lol

[@musicmikerocks6415]

Thank you so much for bringing this post back. The world needs it. Not just now but always. Its pure artistry. Perfect, endlessly deep and beautiful. Thank you so much. Peace

[@nefleli]

i was devastated, i thought i was never going to watch this video again!

[@never_pharma1412]

So true, especially as there's no version (including the recording) that can touch this moment of unique mesmerising talent. Guys....don't go there again....we don't need any unnecessary stress in these times of overwhelmed front-line staff.

[@ashp4274]

Omggggg I swear I thought something was wrong with me for awhile I couldn't find this and was sooooo mad glad to see I wasn't tripping 🙄😂

[@cupperdigger3494]

That's why I have some 350 videos of her saved+all her longer live performances available online in full, like Paris, afro...

[@karma______]

This is my favorite video on KZbin

[@nai4466]

A long and lonely journey To my hideaway And I know they'll try to turn me With the things that they say But no one knows where I'll go When I walk away So come now, hurry hurry Don't miss this train Open up and let me get to you Take you to another side Come to my world (after midnight) We're getting lost in another time Your hand in mine In my own world On my own time Maybe that's why (I don't mind) People think I'm crazy Lately I'm (I'll be fine) Living in midnight Just living in midnight (Oh oh oh) And if you think I'm crazy Pay it no mind (Oh oh oh) We're living in midnight Just living in midnight If you could see what I've seen You would dare to dream Honey, if you care to join me Come meet the team And you all could be my army There's no other way So come now, hurry hurry Don't miss this train (I don't mind) People think I'm crazy Lately I'm (I'll be fine) Living in midnight Just living in midnight (Oh oh oh) And if you think I'm crazy Pay it no mind (Oh oh oh) You'll never know The places I go When I'm alone If only for a moment Only for a while Cause I belong to the unknown Hope to be alright (I don't mind) People think I'm crazy Lately I'm (I'll be fine) Living in midnight Just living in midnight And if you think I'm crazy Pay it no mind You'll never know The places I go (I don't mind) People think I'm crazy Lately I'm (I'll be fine) Living in midnight Just living in midnight And if you think I'm crazy Pay it no mind You'll never know The places I go When I'm alone

Lucky you! We are honoured to have had artists such as Lianne at our sessions!

[@nosidamy.9103]

Comment update. The concert was AMAZING for lack of a better word. I got to meet her and I gave her a big hug, so I guess I did get to hug her voice lol. She's so humble and even more beautiful in person. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life
