[@rush2795]

[@nekciw]

I could listen to Antwaun sing a recipe for banana bread and still be quite content.

[@sahirvirmani7369]

Have you seen their G-BOMB Salad tutorial?

[@maximef.994]

I could listen to him sayin repeatedly his door code. Oh wait...

[@SonicSeraphim]

That's the next single

Do you remember when he said Ford Taurus in a song and MADE IT SOUND COOL? Antwan...

It would definitely have to include thinly sliced red onions

Theo Katzman on the silent acoustic

[@mousefoot]

It's funky and it's low volume

[@oromoiluig]

I believe you can actually hear him in the final, around 4:38

[@monkeyxx]

@@oromoiluig nope, quiet as a miming mouse

[@Oxfordium]

You can hear a faint chord strum at about 2:09

[@toatrika2443]

[@potterka1]

I love how Joey Dosik just keeps on smiling, because Antwaun is singing a song he wrote about his grandma #grannydosik5ever

Joey’s face while Antwaun sings his amazing song is just so lovely to watch.

[@xasma]

Antwaun is just so beautiful to listen to.

[@NaijaBoiTellEm]

Gadson didn't want to stop. That beat was simple yet tight...

[@discoteque7768]

Damn it! Now, I can't say nobody makes music like in the old times anymore

[@monkeyxx]

yeah and I also see why it's not necessarily a great idea in the first place, to say make music like it was before

[@cathleenstrong1918]

This brought me to tears. Simply Beautiful! R.I.P. Grandma.

[@MsKstunna]

Cathleen Strong ❤

[@mogglie]

Can we take a minute to appreciate the solo drumming at the end. Good lord.

[@FritoBanditoMusicVideos]

Man, that punched me in the gut... Coming from a "Grandmas Boy" this is one of the most touching songs I have ever heard... Ironically from the worlds funnest band. What great musicians!!! Glad it's our little secret...

@Daniel Blue - watch the end of the Vulfpeck Cory Wong video. It's a common used Vulf phrase since that mention.

I don't understand people who don't immediately understand how important this music is.

[@ahaynes4]

Love that the outro of Grandma transitions seamlessly into the Fearless Flyers "Bicentennial"

[@th3all3nator]

Andrew Haynes when this album dropped I knew it was only a matter of time before the groove became part of another song - too good to just be 45 seconds at the end of a slow track

[@alextripp406]

lmao why does David T. always look like this is his first time seeing the chart

[@DannyWoodMusic]

Because it probably was??

[@JoshuaSurufka]

Yeah, Vulf usually does a few takes, if that, and thats it. Jack specifically said that David T always wants the charts

[@lptomtom]

He has such a tasteful sound

[@dawnuddaded853]

The guy's a professional. It probably was the first time he saw it

[@Rastafarian1882]

don't think this was the first take, more like the 3rd or 4th but David T Walker is a legendary studio player, those guys look at a chart and then play it like they wrote it

[@Braedon2011.]

My 104 year old great grandma passed away today, and getting to see this for the first time today really means a lot. Love y’all.

[@Anna.hilbert.official]

Awww started crying during the first seconds of this song...so emotional, wow.

[@benmitchinson9831]

Joey just smiling the entire time

[@dkrumpenstein2370]

what an all star line up. isn't this song joeys? what a fantastic one

[@josephmatveyenko153]

I saw Joey play this at his train station show in LA over a year ago, imo its his best song so far!

[@zarathustra3830]

Antwaun's best vocal performance?

[@kennet7837]

Zarathustra "Aunt Leslie" is a strong contender as well.

[@Lollilou2]

Aunt Leslie is insanely great vocals

[@bathtime]

I love 1612 🖤🖤

[@spungbicklesmcbrungler5376]

Every Antwaun performance is his best. Sort of like how every dog owner thinks their dog is the best one, and they're all correct.

[@ToonsCraft1]

No, Antwaun’s best vocal performance is Jack’s G-BOMB salad tutorial.

[@onlycalmchannel]

Listened to this as I fell asleep -- I swear this tune tucked me in and gave me a Teddy bear.

[@Amyls64]

Ive always loved the way David T walker plays. So subtle but right. This is a beautiful song

[@lars4738]

My favorite part was the acoustic guitar , livin up to the "Mean Girls" tradition. But seriously that lick David T does when Antwaun sings "like speaking yiddish", best of all time

[@szrnkabela]

Sometimes Jack keeps the composition minimalistic, sometimes other band members help him at it. 😉

[@minnesotaflats]

not knowing anything about who wrote the song, that line caught me off guard. Yiddish?! I had a good chuckle, thought of Sammy Davis Jr., and chuckled some more. Meanwhile, I missed that lick, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[@fsj9441]

James Gadson is not just hitting his lap with the stick. He actually playing the pocket. Amazing.

[@caffeineadvocate]

Don't take this the wrong way, but your grandma's pretty smooth...

[@chando_dix]

The best cross stick sound I’ve ever heard. Mr. Gadson… the man

[@akholiwenywebeni8168]

The base rift pulls you into the subtle groove of the song.

[@vegadeth]

The "bass nod" always in full effect. Love it

[@marlanbarry7903]

Anybody who says real soul and the Motown sound is dead, hasn't heard this guys voice. Unreal. I have hope for the future.

[@thereallbking]

I miss my Grandma 😭

[@lawrence-yx1ew]

Lalchhan Bawitlung one of the things that makes me tear up in an instant is that thought of losing my grandma. More than anything. It's so easy to get caught up in life, it's hard to find time to see her. Or maybe I just make plans too quick with other people. I know I need to change that and make the time. Sorry about the tangent. Sorry about your grandma ♥️

[@roquentin1932]

god damn, the soul running off this cut, phew great job guys

[@黒田-i7i]

I lost my grandma yesterday and this song warmed my heart a little bit

[@tanhimmurshid454]

Bro, I can hear Gadson's knee slap hi hats!

[@HeavyGee84]

Pure magic

[@Hjernded]

Walker and Gadson are always a welcomed addition to the Vulf-crew :=) Not to mention Stanley of course! Can't get enough!

[@esil6364]

Sometimes I wonder how great it would be to sit in the same room as them as they are recording. Ahh I wish

[@-overdooo-]

This... this right here is a special moment in time.

[@aileenemaldonado2229]

Heard the first 5 notes and fell in love. God these guys are good.

[@alex0589]

What a singer. What a group.

[@jansingber376]

This is the best one yet........ it hits all the markers. Servants of song..... human message delivered with vulnerability. Paying homage to the greats that have come before...... the tones could have come off of "Still Bill" or "One Man Dog" ....... brilliant.

[@jakekremer218]

thank u for blessing my wednesday

[@guitarguytom2503]

I just want to say that this is INCREDIBLE. Gamble and Huff would love to have written this. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[@michaelmcculloch5957]

Joe Dart is one of the greatest bassists I’ve ever heard. ❤ whole band is just full of genius

[@Novabyte1998]

They are basically one single entity. So tight, so clean, so VULF. Definitely one of my favorites from MFL. Keep it up guys.

[@panjicukek]

This is the sound of heaven.

[@deanroddey2881]

Great work. These guys are class. Tight, quirky, funky and highly talented.It's a great combination.

[@fuzzylightning]

This is a national treasure.

[@th3all3nator]

Dayum that groove at 4:23 - proper neck work out (Also check out Bicentennial by the Fearless Flyers)

[@FCOLAXCDG]

Raw! .... delighted to witness such a fragility of genius.

[@lucretiaallen1872]

Antwaun, excellent!!! Now, I'm reminiscing about my grandmother baking blackberry pies and running across the street to grandma's house for her original spice beans, greens, yams and cornbread.

[@mandy-gi8ul]

my day just got 8 times better

[@zaim_ipek]

This is amazing. It is so rare to find songs that can capture human tenderness and sentiment so sincerely as this song does. Well done! Vocals, instrumentation, composition and production are all on point! I love it.

[@mazinjamal_]

Beautiful play with culture, to have these lyrics that sound like they were written by Jack "speaking Yiddish" and some of the ontogical perspectives on life that reflect a lot of Jack's messages ... Who are those "who's job it was to take care of us?" Parents? The police? The military? Those in service generally?

[@timestretched]

Mazin Mahgoub this song and all lyrics are actually written by Joey dosik

[@mazinjamal_]

Ahh, beautiful

[@ScottLevineIthaca]

love that final groove

[@MrPopsnap]

Scott Levine if only it went on for another 5 minutes

[@ScottLevineIthaca]

I am hoping it will, in concert.

[@th3all3nator]

Check out Bicentennial by the Fearless Flyers

[@ScottLevineIthaca]

[@dielaughing73]

Scott Levine Exactly what I thought. A groove made for jamming

[@joestrickland2525]

Looking so forward to hearing this on the radio in my truck.

[@DannyWoodMusic]

TFW when you see Theo strumming in the background but you can't hear him.

[@JoshuaSurufka]

He got added in a bit at the end with Joe and Gadson

[@Hennu_TRM]

Stratton getting that minimalist funk arrangement.

[@Acdp94]

Felt the same about woodys guitar part on sky mall

[@TZD11111]

Stratton knows that an essential part to being a minimalist funk arranger is often having to delete tracks.

[@th3all3nator]

Randy Walsh I agree - take Rango II for instance - cut both his own and Theo’s tracks almost completely and it sounds amazing

[@Rastafarian1882]

Live From Here - hosted by Chris Thile did a birthday tribute to James Gadson last weekend at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival
