Theo Katzman - Desperate Times [Official Video]

[@jordannolen2175]

Go see him live. He pours his heart out on stage every time. You will have a spiritual experience and feel the community. Not to mention his whole band freakin rocks.

[@robfuscatory3813]

Not to mention Ms. May Erlewine, equally incredible

[@oinkooink]

Will you feel the communism?

[@chrismofer]

@@oinkooink what 🤨

[@DIBBLES21]

He shook my hand after a gig and said I had great energy 🥰

[@gregoryruyvaert9265]

I believe you. I have my tickets, can't wait to see him, coming october.

[@samuelblupowitz]

This one came from behind to become, possibly, my favorite track on the record. Beautiful, heart-wrenching, all my favorite things.

[@Mr02Leo]

how much can change in just 40 minutes

[@lisablake4373]

Well, my husband just discovered you and we are listening to all your music right now here on KZbin! My husband is crying and he doesn't even know why, but I do! Because your music touches the soul!! My eyes started leaking on your Mom song! Just posted it on my Facebook to my sons!! I hope we have the money to see you in concert one day! Keep it coming young man! You are our new treasure!!!

[@jeanchensmith4570]

Wow ❤

[@EWoodsMsc]

Come back to Chicago man! Missed you last time 😔

[@geoffpm]

Theo, your growth as a singer and songwriter is inspiring to experience !!!

[@Zanthorr]

"you took a selfie with your dog this morning" Are you sure about the songwriting part? Jk I love Theo

[@samuelblupowitz]

@@Zanthorr I think that's a great lyric! It's conversational, immediately sets a tone, and lets you know where the narrator is (not with the person he's singing about but wishing he was).

[@margienicholas699]

Saw Theo a couple of weeks ago in Chapel Hill. He is fantastic live! First time we saw him was in Ann Arbor, MI when he was still a student at U of M. We have followed his music ever since. Four different states we've seen him. Amazingly talented! I wish him many years more!

[@ExtraFancy96]

Perfectly imperfect. Polished and precise can be good, but sometimes raw and emotional is really the ticket to connection. There is a layer of realness that a clean vocal track can't deliver

[@tolajanowskaofficial]

how did I get here? I love it here it's so cozy.. Although I just got ear injury I still heard you Theo, oh I did

[@Hilko26]

Wait how did you get here? You can a link to the unlisted video a couple days early?

[@RyanFreid]

I’m currently dealing with a hearing injury from work…good luck to you!

[@tolajanowskaofficial]

no idea man just - the law of attraction

[@tolajanowskaofficial]

@@RyanFreid thank you, let our ears be loved

[@russellgoldbaum7770]

He's got the gift no pretension in his game

[@venomwhisper3783]

Saw Theo live in Seattle a few weeks ago. One of the best shows I've seen, crushing all my expectations for a Sunday night. Buy your tickets now.

[@iescalante]

i love the sound of that piano and the man whispering to the microphone making those beautiful chords.

[@gravzzz]

an undeniably moving vocal performance!

Sehr gut, Herr Katzenmann

[@moremoreno1000]

Insane. Thanks... 💔

[@mathevideos9909]

The lyrics get down to my bone. Please be safe! You are a wonderful human being with a beautiful soul. Your music resonates with my heartstrings. Hope to hear you live in Germany at the next possibility.

[@raitaraita9448]

30th september in Hamburg!

[@beverlytjerngren8829]

My absolute favorite on the album. It hits so hard.

[@ChienJaune01]

Seeing the man live in a couple of months. I'm stoked.

[@humanmerelybeing1966]

1:00 Those chords hit me right in the heart. As a songwriter myself, I find your music extremely inspiring.

[@v.d.2527]

Saw them live 2 weeks ago. Wonderful moments, amazing talents, outstanding musicians. Probably the best show I've ever attended to.

[@edda9836]

Everyone felt this was the take, in all it's sincerity, it's rawness. Thanks.

[@dudewithaguitar77]

This song makes me feel all sorts of emotions and really think. It’s so powerful. One of my favorites from your new album. It’s awesome to see the video for this one, thank you for uploading all these! Saw you play at the Wiltern, what a show!

[@komigiioma]

I don't think there is a better lyricist of our time

[@SladeMurdock]

All it took was the first 3 chords… straight to the heart and to the playlist

[@fheering]

All the songs in the album are impressive. But this one... this one hits differently.

[@JochenVogel]

Rings true with me. Thank You, Theo.

[@flyingcheff]

Theo is always on my list. Driving Texas; NEVER AGAIN. Never that desperate. 😅

[@logantaylor9979]

My favorite song off the album. Was disappointed that you hadn’t put out a video for this one and was so pleasantly surprised when I saw this pop up on my notification.

[@SpacedockBand]

So fuckin good.

[@gaspardguillaumie8586]

This should have way more views! Awesome tune man!

[@susan67868]

lol after being out for 5 minuets.

[@gaspardguillaumie8586]

@@susan67868 hahah yeah but I saw the video yesterday and it was private idk how I managed to see it lol

[@TomFromOslo]

Great song ! I am so much looking forward to seeing you live in Norway this fall !

[@LaNegraCate]

Words, singing, music, everything❤

[@Boramat17]

[@Kachon0Lachon]

Really lovely! But wait... where are the fancy subtitles? C'mon I got used to it! BTW Can't wait to see your concert in Warsaw!

[@stevedorado754]

[@MicahThunder]

Blew me away at Meow Wolf, keep it up. I’d love to play with you

[@Gri11Master]

Sneaky good songwriting! ❤

[@AlainNLDB]

Definitely my favorite track on the album ❤

[@vincentcolavin]

I only really noticed this quiet track after listening to the album a few times, but now it's my favorite. It's got some special resonance for me, plus a few absolutely killer lines.

[@portlandoregonliving]

Damn, Theo. Absolutely beautiful... I was kinda sleeping on this new album for some reason but now I'm awake.

[@kcirtapmmmm]

Love love love

[@SirGooch_]

So Damn Good

[@mooncorp212]

Perfect tune for this piano !

[@Rengray2]

Theo - you are my spirit animal. I'm way, way too old for this shit...but it turns out you don't have to actually be old, to be too old for this shit.

[@Dazendream]

So beautiful. Felt that in my soul. ❤

[@timothyhurn7590]

Wow... That was amazing!

[@WauezMachado]

You are an inspiration for my unstarted career ❤️

Do you notice that G key is sticking and during the song he keeps resetting it with his thumb? Why can't i just enjoy the song? Anyway, what a talented man

[@CSharpListenSharper]

2/2 on the crying now... wonder what the lifetime will be.

[@stephanherschel5785]

As always a tick to high for my boring old taste 😁 - but a great song and all ... And what's more: in times of auto tune and AI it's so refreshing to hear something authentic. thanks!

[@clayclass827]

Can't wait for the Madison show. WHERE IS TOMEK???

[@yadda_tools]

Is Joe playing a 5 string base? Say it ain't so Joe!

[@TomasRosberg]

Nope

[@kane6529]

The g string tuner is on the bottom and e , a, and d on top

[@konradfichtner112]

Dear Assistent and Camera-Guy Nick Nagurka, I appreciate your work a lot but always misread you name as Nick Karagua which is such a special name that you should consider it at least as your artist-name. Warmest regards Konrad

[@markbrown1209]

You took a selfie with your Dog this morning, you said While you were sleeping in Smoking a spliff in your bed I never felt so much From so little so quick It seemed to good tobe true Which means it probably is You live in San Antone I'm in Los Angeles That ain't exactly close Now that you mentioned it I saved some sick days up For a solo road trip And Texas is on my list 'Cause when the get weird The weird get high It's when you dance with death That you know you're alive I've got some good mezcal And the will to survive Yes these are desperate measures But these are desperate times I've bought a camper van Off of a teenage kid Hail Mary to the gods, California Cashed out my bank account Gave away my shit Just to shake things up Just to scratch that itch I probably should not say Just how down I am To meet you in my bathroom Of a gas station A thousand miles away From anywhere I've never been Just to feel like a human again 'Cause when the get weird The weird get high It's when you dance with death That you know you're alive I've got some good mezcal And the will to survive Yes these are desperate measures But these are desperate times How many glasses of wine Over a six inch screen Before my will resigns And my judgement recedes Cross these divided states Into a stranger's arms Hail Mary keep me Keep me, keep me 'Cause when the get weird The weird get high It's when you dance with death That you know you're alive I've got some good mezcal And the will to survive Yes these are desperate measures But these are desperate times

[@JosephMcKenna-he7ps]

Nice bass drum? Lyric wise Theo went to Cali or Texas to get his main drain cleaned??? Man THAT IS DESPERATE. KELLY KELLY KELLY 3/25/24

[@swiftlymurmurs]

Looks like he drove from LA to Texas in a busted old camper van for it, yeah. It's a hell of a drug

[@andrevrochas]

Sometimes I don't like Theo. I am a guitarist. If someday I reach 10% of his skills I'd be amazed. My dream is to sing a solo while soloing, as he does from time to time. But the dude is a better composer, singer, and drummer than a guitarist

[@humanmerelybeing1966]

I feel the same way about soloing. Although I play by ear, a lot of it is muscle memory around certain scales and such. Or it feels that way to me--less melodic and more guitar solo-ish, if that makes sense. Being able to be conscious of the notes well enough to sing them would be amazing.

[@andrevrochas]

@humanmerelybeing I know exactly what you are saying! Sometimes, my solos sound almost as if it was a mere exercise 😔 One day, we will be more melodic!
