I just heard this song today, live, on Studio 360 and instantly fell in love with it. The spacey, reverby guitars create the environment for the song to live and breathe in. Love it. I did listen to the studio version, but I prefer it live. Live is spacier, slower, more deliberate. More "real".

+Mark Sasahara I heard the band when it opened for Garbage a few nights ago. This song hooked me deep. I've got the album, but I just can't get the live version out of my head.

Sure, she doesn't have the most "polished" voice ever, but I love how unapologetically raw and emotive her singing style is. The first time that I heard her sing on the recording of "Honey" (a little more than two years ago), it sent shivers up and down my spine. Mackenzie Scott is such a refreshing alternative to so many female artists who feel the need to sound obnoxiously "cute" or "girly."

+Todd Hoover It's live music. What do people want. If they want sanitized, they have the record (love both). Had to be tough to do this song justice live.

Wow, it sounds like they took the audio directly from the board! We were at this show and it sounded nothing like this! Notice how everyone is commenting on these PFork vids like, "Why is the mix so bad"??
