"Self reflection should never be confused with who is looking at you."

Word

[@ms.e3870]

Tank and the Bangers follow the jazz tradition of improvising! That's why every time they perform the same song it's a little different. They play off of each other in the moment, creating a new experience and sound each time. Beautiful!

[@iamjohnathanhawkins]

Beautifully explained!!!

[@thenewauthoreden]

You're on a planet all your own, Tank! I love your genius...🙏🦋🌹

[@EazyVW]

It's crazy to me that there are bands that can't play the same song multiple times without screwing it up, but Tank and the Bangas seem to do a different version of the same song every time and nail it as though it's how they've always played it.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

EXACTLY!

[@designermastiffskennels1983]

the accuracy

[@curtisbme]

If you do it different ever time, you can't mess it up because no one is expecting it to be another way. Any screw up is 'nailing it' as long as everyone still flows. Very much a jazz aspect.

[@TankTyson]

This version is by far the best and one of the best songs ever‼️

[@sharlarichardson7507]

[@meganvasquez1287]

Is that "oh nah nah nah" from Beyonce's 'Don't hurt yourself'?

[@Maxbeanbag]

Tank got more taaaalent in her fingernail than Beyonces mediocre career

[@LUX_8]

Megan, Beyonce WASN'T the first to use that "oh nah nah nah" riff. IJS.
