Me: *Kenton singing* this song can’t be topped easily Me: *Mario singing* this song can’t be topped easily Me: *India singing* this song can’t be topped easily All Three: Hold our mic. The rest is history. P.S. BTW these three were the singers of some of my favorite ScaryPockets songs. So guess how hyped I am😅. I suppose the roughly 1000 views in the first 10 minutes kinda show why (:

[@pawerapa4420]

I can’t stop hearing it… it’s one awesome cover!!!♥️♥️♥️

[@sing5910]

If it isn’t obvious, we NEED more India Kenton & Mario collabs! This one really has a whole new identity, and their blend is SO impressive and warm. Especially with how isolated everyone is right now, I’d love more of these group/harmonized performances because they just radiate joy and community!! Thanks to everyone involved 💕

[@David_Thompson]

Seconded!

[@h0yj0y]

agreed!

[@BlairdBlaird]

Can you imagine a full album of Scary Pockets with the IKM Trio as singers?

[@BlissDelight69]

I feel like these vocalists were the first gen Scary Pocket hall of fame.

[@samueldennisjr6181]

Live? Outdoors? Let’s give some love to the audio team. Skilled af. Just, wow!

[@David_Thompson]

Yes I'm still wondering how they got such a clean take outside without wind noise, cars etc - awesome job!

[@Justwantahover]

How did they deal with the background NOISE???

[@bmcconnon]

​@@Justwantahover The vocal mics they are using are AEA KU5A Ribbon Mics. They have a really tight supercardioid pickup pattern so that would really help in this situation. I have one - they are awesome!

THESE VOCALS ARE SO CLEAN ALL POLLUTION HAS DISAPPEARED AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheMarioJoseShow]

Y'all...this might be my favorite SP video I've ever been a part of. 🥺❤️ LOVE THIS CREW BIG TIME.

[@kristianjohnson3495]

So good

[@DereBear]

The harmonies! The syncopation of the melody! The reharmonization!

[@erstrizaldi7719]

That's three powerhouses singing a powerful song. The world needs more feel good songs. Unbelievable. They weren't even trying.

[@jonr600]

I could listen to India, Mario and Kenton harmonize forever

[@deanmass]

Aside from brilliant musical and vocal performance....Jack's constant look of bursting with joy is the shizzle.

[@LiveLoopers]

Thank you for putting that into words.

[@nigelfox6683]

It’s what I love the most… how can you not love his overjoyed little bearded face 😁

[@Littlemangomama]

This trio is amazing, my god the harmony is just insane!

[@nathanwafflart4199]

Stop this madness right now. Right. Now. And then make some more because this trio is COOKING

[@ConcreteJungleJazzClub]

Wtf. My favorite three SP singers of all time on one video... Omg. If scary pockets ever decided to be one fixed band you gotta sign these three divas. Thank you!

[@jenzsharing8160]

Oh yes! So true.

[@happyplotter9966]

Also my favorites. India got me sold to scary pocket... But why do Americans use so much auto tune... Takes away some of the awesomeness of these artists....

[@janetbrowning6602]

Do it. Please!

[@aliservan7188]

Jack is responsible for spreading so much joy... the man is a talent magnet

[@blakenunndrums]

I'm absolutely enthralled with Scary Pockets! Every tune is killer, super tight grooves, excellent harmonies, and super fun! I love jamming to their stuff! Another excellent tune, with phenomenal musicianship all around!

[@BaldursPicketFence]

I .... I cried...because I saw many different people making and enjoying music together...

[@jfrusciantetube]

Can somone explain me the Scary Pockets please? Pick 2 random videos from them, and they have 1-max 2 members in common. But both are DA BOMB

[@iamchillytoy]

The definition of an all star vocal section 👌🏼🥰 Also, I worship Caleb Parker.

[@rattarchy]

India, Mario AND Kenton? I couldn't have clicked faster

[@AshMoney04]

Right!

[@mmsabre7931]

Anything with India and I'm in but Mario and Kenton were great here too. Love this!

[@NickSquaredTV]

Yeah total dream team right?

[@JoanaKathleen]

Sameeee

[@MissTayzha]

I did that too!

[@worldswithinus795]

thank God all of them finally did a song together. it's so tiiiiiiighttttt

[@nunyabeezwax6131]

No matter who takes the lead they have the best backup singers ever.

[@gammaray3694]

That trio is OP. This is what love sounds like.

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

I pulled the lever on the Scary Pockets Slot Machine, and the wheels stopped on India, Mario, and Kenton ... SUPER JACKPOT! Oh yeah, one more thing, Caleb is ... LEGEND.

[@JoshuaReifsteck]

Pull again. As many times as it takes.

[@joeytoribio2035]

India Carney has such a fantastic voice. Right there with any of the top R&B legends.

[@WerdnaTheRad]

Two months later and I keep coming back to this song. Must've listened to it dozens of times now. Talk about taking a mediocre song and kicking it into high gear to the stratosphere. So well done. Thank you Scary Pockets for making life so much better by decorating time with your sounds.

[@WerdnaTheRad]

Still back again another ten months later. Pretty sure I was drunk when I wrote this first comment lmao. But I stand by it!

[@safekraka]

Absolute magic in the park...

[@johncravalho8812]

Gotta be one of the best arrangements by Scary Pockets and that KILLER vocal trio!!! SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@maxxranchero634]

It's an All-Star lineup!

[@thebassrogue]

these singers are FIRE! I love how their voices compliment eachother beautifully!

[@safiraimoney]

the closing part is always clumsy & funny GAH i love them! not just for the music (which is already awesome) but also theIr personality. theyre so fun to listen to

OMG!! DREAM CHEAM!! love this trio❤️❤️

[@franvelert]

Best singers in the team, no doubt

[@jgun33]

Has to be the funkiest thang I have heard in a while.

[@Coulition]

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. And the parts are fantastic! So. Perfectly. Matched. Incredible balance. One voice. One instrument.

[@MegaPatlidzan]

Indiaaaa woow ! evolution of soul singing....you're blessed

[@jakemoyles6610]

Scary pockets and Marc Rebillet are the future of music.

[@dwightgilbert7596]

I dont say this lightly but this may be the best arrangement Scary Pockets has ever pulled off. Everyone involved just keeps getting better at this.

What is this sorcery? I didn’t expect to cry watching this, but wow!

a good cover takes an existing song and makes it sound like a completely new jam. Nailed it.

[@Braedon2011.]

Phenomenal idea to cover the wind blowing into the mic with a slow synth build when it picked up

[@estherb.bridge7782]

I feel like this is a capella meets funk. And Yes I know there are no instruments in a capella. But this is such a good fusion. Love it!

I would watch a million ads for pay for this song and it would never be enough to repay you for this gem. Thank you for your funk service. 👩‍✈️
