Their timing is so impressive. They stop and start and slow down so much as a full band, which takes so much awareness of everyone else playing.

[@threeminuteshate]

I get what you’re saying but it just ruins the flow of the song for me. It certainly adds nothing to it other than making it different from the studio version.

[@yvesfromloona_real]

@@threeminuteshate to each their own. i enjoy the frequent change

[@nicknguyen307]

the metronome goin on in the background during recording also helps!

[@hambonelouis]

“This song got us attention. Maybe if we add some complexity it will get more respect” is all I take from the changes

[@SnaptrixGaming]

They meld indie rock and new emo with southern music so well

BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG

[@Flatfootsy]

How can they sound so much better live than recorded on CD? This is insane! I hope i get to see them some day.

[@jopparow]

Banditologic because the mixing on the album is really bad.

[@radicalkid6275]

The recording has half the harmonies and riffs. Probably because they've grown as a band since then.

[@joepuck689]

i think that the mixing on the album is really great actually , maybe its just not your type of sound

[@iplayeddishonored2475]

Radical Kid there are no harmonies on the album, I think you mean melodies

[@radicalkid6275]

What. lol. There are tons. It's what makes them a great band.

[@gwendeseminat8r]

bro the guitarists in this band got it so easy for real theyre just fucking around doing cool shit like the little WIWIWIWIIWWIIWIW thing before the secound last chorus

[@Pancho308]

Saw 'em live. They really rock. Don't miss if they come to your town.

[@matthewabsher2764]

This man could sing Mary Had a Little Lamb and I'd be here for it. Gorgeous stuff.

[@en-er5dj]

how do they sound even better live than in studio wtf is this magic whatever it is i adore it

[@themightywhoosh5497]

I've loved this song for years but this version is so elite

[@TheLordsofMidlothianRVA]

Just learned today that the lead singer's dad wrote the JG Wentworth jingle. 877 CASH NOW! Pretty crazy.

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

close second to Audiotree's production. third would be the one recorded in a church at Philly

[@DylLynn]

Nah dude this is better than audiotree hands down

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

pretty close, i'd say

[@DylLynn]

actually you're right the production is better on audiotree but the whole band's here so it just sounds fuller

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

dylwalsh yeah the girl just adds so much to the band. i was really surprised when i learned that they have a female backing vocals/keys bc i kind of got used to their 4pc lineup. But this is on another level. lol

Good luck to those other bands topping this session. Can't imagine that being possible. _______________________________ Walking outside labyrinthine Over cracks along under the trees I know this town grounded in a compass cardinal landed in the dogwood I keep going over it over and over and my steps iterate my shame. How come every out come is such a come down? Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down. I kept saying I just wanted to see it. Saying "Whats wrong with that?" Needle shaking out lines in the compass every out come is such a come down... And I knew it when I saw it... So I did just what I wanted... So I go through with this, I knew happiness when I saw it... I saw your boyfriend at the port authority... It's a sort of fucked up place Well so I averted my stride on a quick one He's coming back from going over to your place, huh? I feel like I could forget about it I feel like I can mellow out, I don't feel undone in a big way There's nothing really bad to be upset about But when I thought I, was getting better, I woke up on the ground An appointment oh disappointment a set back, oh another come down As if I needed a reminder oooohhhh I do only what I wanna. So I go through with this Walking out in the night time spring time, needling my way home I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago, I saw some old friends at her funeral My steps keep splitting my grief through these solipsistic moves I should call my parents when I think of them Should tell my friends when I love them Maybe I should have gone out a bit more, and you guys are still in town But I got too caught up in my own shit It's how every out come is such a come down And I knew it when I saw it!!! Oh, I did just what I wanted So I go through with this, I knew happiness when I saw it. I saw it

[@EricHoppe2]

So good. Keep playing music, please

im so confused... he plays it without a capo when he performs acoustic.... is he turning down a half or whole step so he can just play less neck? or is it different? trying to learn this song!

[@BringTheMachetE]

its a shame evan is an abuser:(

[@johnglace7122]

the female singer adds nothing, they need to get rid of her.

[@efraz445]

She adds pretty nice harmonies actually. I think we need to get rid of you

[@Titantr0n]

Wrong, also, she plays the keyboard as well you sexist fuck.

[@iplayeddishonored2475]

Titantr0n what does sexism have to do with this? You Fucking feminist

[@Titantr0n]

It's funny how you try compare being sexist with being a feminist. Of course I'm a fucking feminist you fucking bigot. And if you think I'm going to believe for even a second that the fact she's a woman has nothing to do with such a nonsensical accusation, well, you're dumber than you sound.

Evan Frazier she adds harmonies and they are well done but i guess they dont match the rawness (teen-ish) voice of the singer. just that.
