St. Paul & the Broken Bones - Sanctify - Troxy, London

[@carollp123]

First time seeing these guys. Grand Rapids Michigan outdoor venue. Opened with “sanctify”. Lead singer made his way to the back of the venue during the song and climbed a giant cement wall and sang the ending climax of the song from atop…his arms raised in the air, the entire crowd turned around to watch…it was a thing of beauty.

saw him live recently and the band killed this song and he performed this in the crowd on a ladder...amazing

This track is from the remarkable album ‘Sea of Noise’, which doesn’t have a weak track on it.

This is so Led Zeppelin Since I’ve been loving you, but more Jazz, and equally melodic.

No matter how much you practice, no matter how many music classes you take, there are intangible qualities that certain musicians possess that cannot be taught, learned, manufactured, or purchased. Soul is something you’re born with or without. Paul Janeway, frontman of the Birmingham, Alabama-based octet, St. Paul and the Broken Bones was undoubtedly born with a heart full of soul. ~ In their 2016 song “Sanctify,” Janeway grips you with his raw, Otis Redding-like vocal talent, and innate ability to swaddle you in his passion, with help from his versatile, nimble bandmates. Beginning with a patient, smoky section of undulating waves of guitar and surreptitiously groovy bass and keyboard riffs, punctuated by Janeway’s falsetto musings, the track has an air of mystery and intrigue to it from the get-go. ~ The lyrics in this portion emphasize the symbiotic nature of life, with subtle lines like “What good is a flower / Without no sun,” and “What good is a light / With no dark,” which is brought to life as the song transitions into an energetic, almost ballad-like piece, bringing in the full band, horns ablaze, allowing Janeway to belt out his wish to live a life that he feels is real, which contains experiences at positive and negative end of the spectrum. ~ “Sanctify” moves back and forth between quiet, relatively calm sections, and lively, impassioned passages, all while keeping a consistently gentle tempo, perhaps reflecting the nature of the kind of like Paul Janeway wants to live. Regardless of your religious affiliations, or lack thereof, it is easy to appreciate and understand the spiritual quest that St. Paul and the Broken Bones take us on in “Sanctify.” ~~~ images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557ef397e4b02fe223cf229c/1511901819560-VC059DS3SYNDJBEQKCG1/GG0516_stpaul_11-1600x1067.jpg?format=1000w ..

[@MoonBoston]

that's some pretty o.k. camera work. Why did u mess it up with cheap effects?

[@AlfieLW]

They need a better lead guitar. Some decent solos would help the sounds. Love the band though.

[@nakedbusinessguy]

He is a bloody good guitarist. Doesn't need it in this song

[@duuuuus]

I agree with Andrew. This song does not need a solo

[@nakedbusinessguy]

As a guitarist myself live he is fabulous IMO. Lots of space and can rip when required. Watch him through the song and esp at the end if you want solos

[@christianprinz1844]

This is a real great song! But - unfortunately - not a great live performance. Taste the albumversion!
