Love this so much! Anytime I get to see my son sing it’s a good day! #thatsmyboy❤️❤️❤️

That breathe again gets me everytime

[@ritapollon]

1:56 ❤❤❤

[@arynnritter4293]

This is my favorite version.

[@frank00nixon]

2:55 how this "simple" solo is so much more powerful than most shred / sweep solos out there

[@OHG1997]

Sometimes less really is more. For me, personally, it has to do with the fact that it feels more alive and ambient. The fast picking tremolo is almost like an organic scream coming from the guitar. Unfortunately, many shred/sweep solos feel either disjointed or just too stale, like they're practicing a scale.

[@bjornedvardsson5510]

Cameron lives every note. He is one with the music.

[@corpsegrinder88]

@@OHG1997 100 percent expressionism

[@aftaabhussain4404]

Michael Lessard's voice is too pure for my soul to handle

[@LucresntBlade]

2:56 NOT LONG ENOUGH !!! LOL So Majestic and Smooth with that Badass Drummer And BASSIST

[@koc0090]

I had to come back every day, this recording is unreal.

[@MachineShopLive]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@tidalahmadraqeebr.7339]

Between objectivity and subjectivity, language, introspection and reflection; you guys are philosophizing with your music. Thank you, from the cloud of my existence.

Aki Tidal Aptly put and I'd like to agree ☝️

[@yanaxc2393]

Amen brother

[@Hoojo]

2:56 Chills man. You guys are the real thing. Truly unbelievable music.

[@brendenlegault5897]

I've always had a really strong emotional bond with this band. I teared up at 3:16 because I sing that part with the same variation when I am singing to the album version. This is a band that creates a meditative space that is easy to enter, and easy to share.

[@aebious8886]

I had shivers run down my spine

[@athalized428]

2:56 - just melts my heart every fricking time. Damn I love this band so much, and this production is crystal clear!

[@nickkesich9160]

Same here dude. I can listen to that part on repeat for hours.

[@ShawnQueefus]

I always felt that sounded al little muddy. The whole cd needs to be remixed imo.

[@KRAPYBARA84]

I love Cameron’s guitar face 🤟 rly feelin it

[@johnyRoyC]

Mike's got the best pipes in the business!

[@mountainofsound]

Jesus the effects were sent from god The production is insane Everything about this is just superb Machine Shop let me intern and learn the way of the master!

[@arkk_drifter]

Mike's voice is absolutely heavenly. Unreal performance!!!

[@primusdude87]

Cameron's "Rock Out" face is one of my favorite things about this video. Met the band a couple times, and he and Mike were the nicest dudes in a band full of nice dudes!

[@jakesklodowski9321]

So damn good! Production is absolutely killer!

[@MachineShopLive]

Thank you!

[@jakesklodowski9321]

Machine Shop Live 🤘

[@Jordy666sic]

Damn great work on the added effects. Ear candy listening to this on nice headphones/speakers.

[@ckokomo808]

Jordy really like the synths and keyboard coming through so strongly.

[@devdirty]

Yesssssss. We need more!

[@lucasmourao751]

Flourish will be insane!

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

I still remember when these guys were deathcore! Awesome band! Its amazing to see how theyve changed! I wish they would play their song 'Integration' more. That song has some of the craziest random ass breakdowns that i love so much.

[@teion3]

I love how the guitar player also plays the drums at the same time, awesome

[@Jin_Raiden]

I will never get tired of seeing these guys live over the years. Just amazing quality all around.

[@davej582]

Same, I've lost count now but I think I've seen them somewhere around 8 times lol. They are always amazing but the 2 part tour they did about a year or so ago was the best performance I've ever seen by them. Finally got to see Monochrome: Pensive live! Now if we can just get this Exoplanet anniversary tour! 😁

[@Jin_Raiden]

Dave Jolly same I’ve been seeing them a bit over a decade live through almost every vocalist change and one thing I will say is that they sure know how to pick great replacements when one leaves. Their music always progresses and stands the rest of time. Great band all around. An exoplanet anniversary would be lovely.

[@davej582]

@@Jin_Raiden Yeah I was super bummed to see Carpenter leave but Lessard was a perfect replacement. Btw Carpenter is getting close to releasing a solo album under the name Foreign Waves that concludes the Exoplanet and Intrinsic story lines. Been waiting on this thing to drop for like 7 years now lol. Definitely check it out if you haven't yet.

[@Jin_Raiden]

Dave Jolly Finally!!! Thank you! I will definitely check it out I’m so excited. He was a amazing live too but I agree they’ve always done well with replacements and musicality. Lessard has beautiful clean vocals but his screams are fucking amazing also.

[@KRAPYBARA84]

So bummed I couldn’t go to the concert last night cuz of the corona! Really glad they’re uploading these 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

[@ckokomo808]

Same here! Hopefully they can get a tour going when things have cleared up!

[@MachineShopLive]

Glad we can fill that spot for ya❤️

[@KRAPYBARA84]

Machine Shop Live you’re doing the lords work lol 😍

[@hazwanahmad6574]

I love how they added some flanger to the hihat & to the crash(?) and that dark reverb on the kick & the snare for the pre-chorus

[@pain9270]

I love the contortionist. I hope they will continue making music this great. I’m more into heavy music but the music they make is so deep that in this case there’s no need to be that heavy.

[@antnyneveruploads]

Michael is an angel, and The Contortionist can do no wrong

[@chasecody6004]

That last 20 seconds gave me the most insane goosebumps, you guys are really on a whole other level

[@HelicopterMann2]

There is no perfection in this world, with one exception: The Contortionist. Unbelievably good!

[@wah666]

the drums sound incredible. one adjective that comes to mind is “crisp”. just stellar production overall.

[@Jon_Tate]

Such a great idea and not to mention sounds incredible!!!! Great job Machine and crew!

[@MachineShopLive]

Thank you! ❤️ We’re so excited to do more!

[@benjohnson1396]

[@SrDaniel84]

Super ultra mega equipados están! Tremendo estudio. Si tuviera ese estudio para mí, no me verían nunca jamás afuera, jaj, viviría encerrado tocando y componiendo y grabando.

Oh my God, that chorus dropped and it was legit an eargasm. Love The Contortionist. Sweet video and fantastic sound.

[@LalsonNgaihte]

I love how Eric's soundscapes + parts are clearer in this mix.

[@MachineShopLive]

thank you! we love keys😍

[@adsensedd]

Sections like 2:20 really impress me. These guys are wonderful musicians but those little sections are just great songwriting, dynamics, and tasteful playing. Really showing off how experienced they are. Crafting great songs.

[@FLmetalhead]

Amazing. Seen them live 7 times and they always make lil changes to the live set to keep the songs fresh. So good

[@jinxpoop]

this song has almost been the soundtrack to my life for the past year. actually, it's almost been a year exactly since i found the contortionist on spotify. such an amazing band...i've never heard music like this before that connects to my soul so much. i've been through a breakup, breakdowns, travelling the world and being stuck at home with this band. it's like i'm hearing someone sing to my soul every time i listen. please never stop making music

[@Pixelman16]

This is such a blast for any fan of the contortionist! Thank you so much for making this happen.

I listened to a few songs of these guys maybe... 4 years ago? I liked them but never got into them, although I’ve explored their music as of recently and wow, I’ve missed out. Great band!

[@timmccaskey]

Recently got into this song, and I love this recording. At the moment I'm typing this, I think I realized what the vocals especially remind me of: Second Life Syndrome (the song or album) by Riverside. Worth a look. Anyway, I'll get back to going through their back catalog (including the heavier stuff.)

[@moshesanchez3725]

This version is so damn beautiful, keep it in the daily rotation.

Thank you guys so much for this ❤

[@MachineShopLive]

[@TheVashnessItself99]

All the lyrics I'd seen so far said "when i found the point of life, it came creeping towards me in the shape of I" which i never really understood, but i teared up when i realized just not he says "the shape of eyes" such a powerful line

Man, this sound quality on live, its incredible, soooo nice, these drums sound man,

[@emk5435]

this is one of those metal bands ( very common nowadays too i guess) where each player is just as important as the one beside them. execlent craftsmanship, you guys rock! i now use the g string dropped one note now full time on my 7 string drop A becuase it just adds so much openess to chord shapes thank you!!!
