[@juliablizin8885]

Monica Martin is such an incredible, natural and beautiful voice - and a complete match with Scary Pockets & Stories...these are funked up tracks and so addictive. We seriously NEED a Monica Martin/Scary Pockets collab. ALBUM as in yesterday. (Oh please, oh please!)

[@travisdahl]

I second this notion +1

[@Novacasa88]

I third that +2

[@mireilledischer3380]

Have returned to this so many times - never disappointed, always thrilled.

[@diaspo]

This arrangement is so damn good. It absolutely soars at 2:20 . I wish Monica would record an entire album with you guys!

[@BlockCylinder]

It's the triangle, right?

[@qwerty6574]

@@BlockCylinder I've got a fever, and there's only one cure....

[@bigbobmc]

Monica is without any doubt the most beautiful voice of Scary Pockets, maybe with India.

[@amandakthxbai]

yeah i agree. india carney and monica are the best

[@dotrezniam8475]

Refreshing to hear Scary Jack tackle someone's (Monica's in this case) original composy. Kudos

[@Alrato94]

2:22 Triangle hit sounds sooooo neat.

[@TheBigburcie]

The swampy grind at the beginning gave me immediate chills. Her voice is amazing. Cracks, falsetto, rasp and that fluttery vibrato is so unique.

[@robburgess4556]

The way that Monica slides between her husky alto and her falsetto reminds me a bit of Joni Mitchell. Superb.

[@musa2775]

Oh, damn. You're so right. Now I want to hear her cover River!

[@bmoremike]

She also reminds me of Imogen Heap.

[@TheChrisSwallow]

I played it for my mom and she was convinced it was Sade.

[@simitheaudioman]

Listen to "Love Is a Beautiful Thing" (Vulfpeck version), the way her falsetto slightly detunes like an analogue synth is like butter

[@stephenpmcbride]

She never falsettos once in this track. Please calm down. Its ok you like the track without making deep statements.

[@livinglife9724]

Monica is so freaking great, and that 441 is perf for her velvety voice. I realize this video has been up a min, but I still come back.

[@JURacing]

That drummer really knows his stuff..amazing!

[@ileinalassalle7207]

Constantly return to this video/song ... such brilliance.

[@Aendrix]

Loving it. Every time Monica joins you guys, something magical happens.

[@debmurray2734]

I have to agree ... I always enjoyed the featured vocals but this song with Monica sounds fully integrated and realized, as a band should be. Not just many great players together but a cohesive sound

[@themilkspots2652]

Everything she does is magic

[@tomkirk6942]

Monica = beautiful voice and beautiful woman. All musicians on point too. Bravo!

[@cameronmcfarland5520]

I've had this in my head the last month. The triangle is magical.

[@jukebox212003]

Daniel and Tamir are always so tight and just thrive in the pocket. Love listening to these guys play together. Fantastic sound from everyone, I really really loved this.

[@ziazaidi3]

this is incredible. monica martin has been on fire lately. i'm such a huge fan.

[@cdsouthern]

This is REALLY good. Her voice intertwines effortlessly with the guitars and horns. Such a great sound.

[@dominictsang7665]

Smooth vocals backed up by smooth jazzy brass. Smooth Pockets! Even the cinematography was particularly smooth this time. Nice timing of Tamir rocking that triangle lol.

[@googgnik]

gotta agree. very smooth camera work

[@ccjoseph2956]

this tune just strikes me sooo hard everytime. have been listening and thinking about it for weeks since it came out it makes me see something sunset glowing with purple sky, leaving your bike laying on the meadow beside and just yourself thinkin about stuff: life, memories, loved ones, regrets and joy in a quiet breeze filled with dark birds flying across the tone of this song is just so right thank you monica and scary pockets

[@nickcox5397]

Just discovered Monica a few weeks ago through her collaboration with Vulfpeck. I'd only heard her voice in that super mellow, smooth tone (where her performances are always stellar), but it's so amazing how she starts belting around 2:30-2:45. What a versatile voice!

[@Vimi240]

On point, I agree!

[@44ettolrahc]

Lyrics Heard you got remedy to really get it right this time Lady I think your guess is's good as mine Let go, breathe deep, sleep well through the night Smile at strangers, keep your eye on danger Fight the good fight Just like everyone before us You can take me to the river and drive me in, don't feel like waking up So make it up Make it up You warned us Hey, I'm not the only one who knew everything and di'n't 'preciate enough So I made it up 'couldn't make it up Am I thoughtless? Might as well be for the good that it does me now my cell is breaking up So go make it up So go make it up Not in the position to try and share a vision of what is good Can't leave my bed to put water in my body, though I easily could Throw my hands up in the air like I'm fake ashamed at every fuck-up that I've ever made Tell everyone I've turned the corner, but I'm walking straight Honestly, It's hard to miss, the glaring neon sign You know the one: today is the first day of the rest of your life In the dark waiting for it to begin We all know how our movie ends I think I'm living but it still feels false Dragging my body down velvet halls

[@ellam8520]

She has such an aesthetically pleasing voice!!!

[@jamminwithjambo7729]

Monica has such great control of her vocals and she's got a style thst keeps me fixed. 😍🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶😍

[@Novacasa88]

One of my favorite songs by Monica. She's so fire I can't wait to see what else she produces in the future. Scary pockets never disappoints, per usual. Keep em comin yall!

[@nathanialshicks]

Putting it on repeat.

[@윤빈-u4w]

I find something special about this song everytime I play it. It's been quite a while to enjoy a song repeatedly. Thank you ScaryPockets. It's so touching.

[@michaeljenner1795]

Totally addictive, really good stuff! Monica Martin, great voice, terrific lyrics. More songs please.

[@gakff]

Uow! You guys should do an album just with originals and this formation.

[@denziljoe]

Would LOVE a Monica Martin & Elise Trouw duet with Scary Pockets!

[@sierrao788]

Knew of Monica from her collab with Vulfpeck, but today is the day I fell head over heels for her vocals and lyrics. MY SOUL IS NOURISHED!

[@masapell]

This is gorgeous!!! What a beautiful groove, great chords, instrumentation, so lush, it’s like being carried along for a ride....genius! I love her voice too...

[@Ckxlv31147]

The way Ryan and Daniel look at Tamir at the very end

[@patdugas9635]

Tamir!! What a groove man! So creative, really inspiring playing!

[@mattym8038]

beautiful work from the whole team once again.

[@bnbtnt1]

This is one of the best if the whole scary pockets catalog! Kick ass guitar and an awesome full sound with the piano!

[@AndyGlover]

Can we just talk about the walking bass line in the bridge at 2:31 ? Adds a chilling tension to the lyrics, absolutely wonderful.

[@fofer5586]

Yes! more monica martin!

[@KenMcLendonMusic]

This is one of the dopest songs I've heard in a while...

[@alexgordonepic]

her voice is soo good.. dang

[@2000bigheaddude]

such a silky voice.

[@jamesjefferson163]

This is my jam. For real. For real.

[@j.m.b.8628]

How beautiful this song is and how beautiful this woman and her wonderful voice and talent. Best regards from Argentina, Buenos Aires.

[@MusicIsARainbow]

What a great voice!

[@tsopuaifa]

Top nodge.

[@TixieDango]

Monica is so unique. Love her! Love Phox! Love, love Scary Pockets!!

[@livinglife9724]

That Senn 441 is perfect for her voice live, but wow, all of it sounds so good.

[@mrharvest]

How to say you're a sound nerd without saying you're a sound nerd. But yeah, literally the same thing I think every time I listen to this.

[@teanuggz5629]

Monica can do perfect with any group but you guys are sooo amazingly tight that this song is toooo perfect!

[@bc001__]

i started listening to this without headphones and i was "stop, start again and this time do it right" it worth the effort in every way possible (it's redundant to say but you guys rock the house up every time - or should i say that you guys FUNK the house? hahahaha)

[@RoadTraveler]

Bruno Carnovale Amen!

[@mitrikgaduk347]

I've got a pair of open-back sennheiser hd58x jubilees that I seriously need to put on right now, I've been following Monica's career for the last year and a half.

[@mitrikgaduk347]

It's truthfully the mix, it's so on point, I can hear the individual instruments so clearly, even the smaller nuances that are lost in a muddy mix, it's gorgeous, and rightfully so, it deserves it.

[@ankoslitoflower]

That just sounds like you need better drivers/monitors/speakers my friend

[@kevincalderon]

I'm in love with this!

[@kmintonartist]

so good

[@KudretBayram]

Has nobody noticed the drum groove with the rim ghosts?? This groove is sitting atop that left hand

[@markding6131]

Barzilay is phenomenal

[@fiftyfiveseventy]

Definitely noticed it. Solid playing on this!

[@ToaNyroc]

I LOVE MONICA! YES! MORE OF HER PLEASE!

[@JesseClaus]

Man, I LOVE this song! It’s crafted so expertly. Great players, Monica, the whole salami. I really really love the ten seconds from 2:46-2:56. Ryan and Daniel are linked up!

[@walterfortunato89]

Very nice with the sound and harmonic progressions of Phox. Divine voice, great bass.

[@elimgarak6590]

Just ridiculous! sick arrangements! and Monica!!! listened like 16 times in a row for good measure!

[@johnconstantinopoulos7446]

She is an singing angel😍

[@jonathanmcguire9268]

Man, Monica always kills! And you guys always have top notch players, but this... This rythm group is probably my favorite.

[@honeycooler]

this is one of my favorites on the scary pockets channel. Props to Monica!

[@zzarkS]

her voice wraps around me so tight, i can't move until she's done

[@farflebfarfle]

Oh such a cool, inspiring sound. MM wins the internet every day.

[@Jester2738]

Amazing arrangement Monica!!! Literal shivers listening to this.

[@kabeersingh8411]

Man, feels all the way through. You lovely people making some beautiful music 😯

[@the_al_guy3169]

one of my top happy places on youtube :)

[@brandonpost3448]

This is absolutely tops amongst their work. Is this a cover or Monica tune?! Wow.

[@benjamindubbels6230]

Absolutely amazing! Thanks to all of you for these 3:43 minutes of smiling...

[@dbalotin]

Monica is awesome! Heard from her through Phox.

[@PhillipJBergeron]

Full album with Monica Martin. Do it now!

[@matthewmachanda9390]

the way they all smiled and looked at each other at the end tells me there's more to this recording haha

[@rtthomas3667]

This is good sh*t. How did I miss this? It's like I've been living without air.

[@phinehastaylor6964]

This is one of favorites thus far!!!! I LOVE this energy

[@LisaTCanada]

I didn't think it would get better than the cover of Karma Police but this is a close second. Magic. Thank you for making my day (nay my [musical] life) better. (:

[@ArthurGanem]

One of the best from you guys

[@SuperJazzhead]

A really great singer, beautiful voice,

[@einokeskitalo3217]

This song is a lifeboat.

[@mattf82]

What's insane is that this has thousands of views when you look at the millions of views that BS gets from other artists. This is clearly much, much better than 99% of music you hear on the radio....

[@javierthewish]

I love this

[@1959ticktock]

I always have to comment on Tamir - rock on man.

[@fabiantanferna2667]

Simply wonderful... Monica I love you!!!!

[@Fatone85]
