[@kkszpt]

I don't know why this song reminds me of a version of my life that didn't actually happened.

Turin Brakes for sure!

[@farukcosic7099]

Big like.😎

[@IdahoJessie]

Nice! Is it me, or am I hearing a slight Talking Heads vibe? It's a sound sorely missed and I'm loving hearing it here! This isn't like anything else currently being played!

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

lol, how?

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

Not at all?

[@stephencockline]

Nice bass station.

[@patrickstar5759]

WHO IS THIS? How do we find more?

[@herisetyawan6281]

Luar biasa

[@jackiemarr]

What's going on with the blue light on the lead toward the end?

[@trialsanderrors2707]

It's an e-bow.

[@evrybdysnshwbiz]

I don't get the point of putting the capo on the guitar, unless she's intending the guitar to move slightly out of tune by doing it. She uses all barred chords (with the exception of the E, which is only a barred F# uncapoed). Thoughts anyone?

[@freebornjohnnylilburne6296]

Is it true capos can be used to maintain erections? Asking for a male friend

[@badtux]

evrybdysnshwbiz All I can figure is that the previous song needed the capo. Or maybe the next one does. I always pop the capo off and clip it to the top of my guitar when it's not needed, but she might normally use a capo that isn't so easy to move as my Kyser (though the glimpses I get of her capo sure make it look like a Kyser!).

[@Jabphoria]

evrybdysnshwbiz helps if she accidentally plays an "open" string; most of the capo'd notes are in the key she's in.

[@badtux]

+Sam Jenkins I have a Schubb. I have a Kyser. The Schubb stays in the gear drawer because it's too big a PITA to adjust between songs, the Kyser is grab the handle and clip it where it needs to be next (or to the head if I don't need it), half a second max. Sometimes practicality outweighs theoretical perfection, though I'll note that my Kyser, while spring-loaded, doesn't put my guitar out of tune unless I clip it at the wrong point (too close to a fret).

[@oneminutefixed5003]

It's less tiring for the wrist, but I get what you're saying

[@alejoromero]

Hipster's paradise.

[@peppercorns666]

has anyone ever told you could sing?… No. I mean, like SING.

[@peppercorns666]

the last 1/4 of that song gets spooky/gloomy like Lisa Germano… makes me nervous.

[@DalvaWolf]

Some vocal notes a lil bit out of tune, but overall a nice performance

[@nathanclarke2977]

nice sounds good.. just always unfortunate when the singer has bad facial expressions while singing, regardless sounds good

[@pigletgavotte5228]

U wanna see her O face? Well, u just saw it 😃🤣
