Parquet Courts - Freebird II (Live at The Current)

[@georgemunoz1912]

Fucking love the bass on this song. This song and Tenderness are my favorite from their new album

[@soysource768]

These guys sound like Parquet Courts

[@georgepetrenko1]

More like Parkay Quarts I guess

[@user-pc9jq5qe9i]

it almost sounds like parquet courts mixed with parquet courts

[@nicholasjamesmurphy5507]

I’d say they sound more like Parquet Courts than Parquet Courts.

[@OhhJarryYesJarry]

This track sounds just like 'Freebird II' by Parquet Courts

[@georgepetrenko1]

Also reminds of Quartet Parts

[@alejandroalvmar]

off one of the yummiest albums of 2018

[@nicholasjamesmurphy5507]

Alejandro Alvarez Agreed.

[@bretbusakowski1030]

Best band going right now

[@adamcraneguilford6236]

Agreed, it's a real good album ... maybe my favorite since The Libertines Anthems for Doomed Youth

[@jake_sl]

yummy

[@cancelcouple380]

When I saw these dudes on TV with my old bandmates from Destruction Unit I was so proud. It's awesome to see your peers kick ass and be free.

[@gracea3678]

I've learned how not to miss the age of tenderness That I am so lucky to have seen once And now that I've become older I've how to brush over My history and how it's sequenced When I think about you I see a person who Hasn't existed for a long time Before you started using, before I starting choosing To do the same thing for the same reasons The first name I called you is not a name at all More of a duty than a function Often an execution, often with deep confusion of 'Who was I when that name was just mine?' Like a serpent charmer negotiating harm I live with a basket of your silence And as the years record I can feel it growing board But I keep the top on in the meantime When I pass my reflection there isn't any question of Where the person in it came from When I catch myself thinking and hear the voice that speaks inside I know where I got my brain from Every step I've strayed from and followed Led me to the same location Every act I've forsake and borrowed A delivery to now And I've never wondered how I came to be I came to be I feel free like you promised I’d be Free, I feel free like you promised I’d be Free, I feel free like you promised I’d be Free, I feel free like you promised I’d be

[@adamcraneguilford6236]

This album, especially this song, really resonates now...

[@ecoterrorism_liker7251]

these guys execute their songs perfectly live. alot of the times live versions just sound plain worse but every live performance by parquet courts just seems like the album version but something about it is just better.

[@chrisanderson6936]

I agree, but part of that is also that most of their live stuff on youtube is high-quality live; well-mixed and recorded. Hard to get a real feel for a band from a phone video tbh

[@Ignore14]

Just saw em a few days ago, I swear every song live was better than the recording.

[@chrisanderson6936]

Jealous, sucks the only venues in Canada they'll be hitting are on the west coast

[@Ignore14]

It was a great show, the music kicked ass and just a great vibe all around

[@GabrielWiltemburg]

freeeeee I feel freeeeeeee

[@willmoody951]

sound engineers did great. Finally some youtube justice for this band.

[@FunnyLaunchers]

his voice sounds all punked out

[@tobiashoffmann78]

Can't tell if it is intentional or it's just because of intensive touring

[@Oske.images]

"When I think about you I see a person who Hasn’t existed for a long time" That's how I feel watching this.. I'm nearly 49. 😬

[@iwatchvideos1]

love Andrew's Jaguar

[@Mikeys_Shows]

the bassist kills this song

[@ktothec24]

Fucking love this band

[@brigittedrevon9402]

parquets courts étincelant comme à ses débuts

[@benmiller1262]

Finally max is singing

[@jackar9612]

Can't wait you're in Hamburg soon!

[@lewismclewis]

Will Ferrel does it so well

[@christopherrusch]

i dream about this bass

[@bazookahorse]

Rob Gavagan on bass.

[@swappingparts]

What do you guys think the lyrics mean? Who is the "you" that he's singing to?

[@bunnyzero0]

The "you" could be an ex-wife (?)

[@jacksonpage1580]

It's his mother.

[@swappingparts]

Jackson Page Thank you! The song makes a lot more sense now. Where did you come across this information? Or did you just figure it out?

[@jacksonpage1580]

I knew the song was about growing up in hard times so I sort of just assumed it. Like you said, the lyrics make a lot of sense with that perception. Looking it up now, there actually is an interview with The Independent where he confirms it specifically. This comment might get caught in the spam filter if I link it, but it should be easy to find if you look it up

[@bunnyzero0]

Yes, thay makes perfect sense. Thanks.

[@nobska09]

Extra verse, coda, with super outro, please??

[@helenasurawska4230]

😇 🙏 🌒 💗😘😊🤗👏 👌 💐

[@waymanmccall5698]

UNT!

[@frelkarox]

I got free once, they took me back.
