The Smile - Instant Psalm (Live) [6 Music Festival 2024]

[@arianhagen]

When it started I thought they might be covering a 70s song that I didn't know. The melody hit so instantaiously. I really don't understand how they keep coming with unexpected things like that over and over and over again.

[@hectorazurmendi4012]

They really are masters of their craft, expanding their minds, breaking down walls, using the infinite energy available to them

[@JJBoom1930]

The intro kinda reminds me of the doors... the end.

[@roryturner9773]

I swear it sounds so familiar. but I dont even know what sort of genre you'd call it

[@notknown4922]

how about five more "and over again"?

[@SelenaSea]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing this. So many layers - it's gorgeous. Shades of _Echo & The Bunnymen._

[@DavidBaake]

This is already one of my top 5 smile songs!

[@avigluck]

Perfect this one…

[@thirdeye147]

Peace on Earth

[@MirkRobinson]

Opening chords remind me of Pink Floyds 'Us and Them'. Brilliant, as always 😊

[@Teeheehee093]

[@n7og89f4]

What do you think of the album version now that it's out?

[@BenR-y9t]

My gob hurts from being smacked repeatedly by these guys.

Revolver / tomorrow never knows/ The Beatles

[@jamesjukebox2386]

There is enough new songs for at an EP or more.

[@zmonte_]

lmao there was enough songs for another whole album

[@jamesjukebox2386]

@@zmonte_ Now another EP

[@harrybate3620]

Sorry but this is leaugue's ahead of the album version. The drum and guitar sound here is just immaculate. I think the base is mixed too high in the studio version and the acoustic makes this once beautiful song dreary.

[@n7og89f4]

Fully agreed. The studio version sucks out all the energy of the sparkly overdriven guitar, the beating drums and the powerful vocals. Looks like I'll be coming back to these live versions. Still love you Thom, Jonny and Tom. Just a weird decision to kill this amazing song like that.

[@esequiasss]

yes... sad

[@dreamoutloud8530]

100% agree. I couldn't wait to hear this dirty grungy version on the album and was completely underwhelmed by the album version at first. It's grown on me but hearing this again makes me want it on the album.

[@elektro_hasch4439]

this is what would happen if radiohead wrote stoner rock

[@caseycurran]

Did The Smile start doing The Bends covers?

[@Guadeloop]

sounds like OKC era

[@borismurillo2834]

Sounds like it could've been on the minidisc leaks

[@lashakalandadze6719]

Old-fashioned

[@Love-not-War]

Anyone else reminded of The End by The Doors?

[@jack-uv6mt]

Idk, but don't say that to thom if you ever meet him.

[@danieljamesmead]

AND WHAT COSTUME SHALL THE POOR GIRL WEARRRRRRRRR

[@GrahamHutchison-w1f]

Sounds like Galaxie 500 !

[@mrbenn1489]

Spacemen 3.

[@michaelburwell3706]

U2 but no one will admit it.

[@glennwilson9597]

Wise up !!

[@eyewaszero]

How?! I really don’t hear it….and thank goodness for that

[@jack-uv6mt]

u2?! what the fuck r u talking about? Which song of theirs sounds like this? Is it on joshua tree? Maybe i missed it

[@louwhyman5995]

It sounds like Pablo honey, which did resemble U2 a bit at the time.
