This band and sound is the best version of Kimbra. I dig her new stuff, but these sessions are what made me start loving her in the first place. It's just good music. Period.
I also agree. She needs to record albums with a live band and capture that vibe. It’s so brilliant. Her albums have been a bit dissapointing. This live session was truly amazing.
What really slays me in this version is how when she sings with the backing chord in the chorus (rather than the melody), she hits the minor 7th, which gives the overall chord this tension that's just seeking resolution and gives those little moments in the song such a feeling of yearning. It's such a tiny little detail, but it sounds so good and adds so much to the arrangement. Kimbra is such a brilliant talent and artist.
coming back around to this in 2023, working on an acoustic version, would love to hear kimbra do this acoustically too (but the instrumentation is so good with the vocal effects)
I come here year after year... I bought your first album Kimbra and I enjoyed it thoroughly, but the recording on there does not compare to this perfect masterpiece you created on that day at this studio. In fact, I have lost touch with your modern music, there was one video in particular that did not grip me, and while I promise to get back into it some day because I think you are amazing, nothing will ever compare to this little piece of music. All 6 songs recorded there were amazing, but this one in particular has captured a piece of my heart. Beginning to end.
You used to be able to download this version for free from her web site. I just checked. You can download it for free from her FB page, not her web site.
ImakeucryxD I know....I always close my eyes, imagine if she was deep inside a cave or forest and all you hear is her singing as you go towards her voice....that would be amazing
+ImakeucryxD Yeah it is pretty damned spectacular. I showed my sister this video yesterday and today she called me, "what was the name of that video again." She was mesmerized.
Kimbra is the perfect embodiment of an all rounded artiste: She has great stage presence, she is a brilliant performer and has a phenomenal voice. Why isn't she more popular?
The whole flipping song make me tense there's so much expectation or something. I dunno. Just you keep waiting for the song to explode but it's already exploded just how much more full on can it get.
it's been 9 years, gosh.... this whole live at sing sing gives me so much chills, love to watch her perform, it's so genuine and..... awesome to experience.
Omg I literally remembered this out of nowhere right now. I was 11 years old obsessing over her, and now I am 17. I can’t believe I thought about her right now.
2:22 --The vocal break in this song is POWERFUL. You know Kimbra's good because she is almost always better live and each live performance has its own character and really stands on its own. The album version, Sing Sing version, and billboard version are all amazing but for different reasons! So dynamic.
I saw this video, and the rest of the Sing Sing playlist, when it was at about 2,000 views. And suddenly Kimbra has come such a long way. I'm someone who loves the Golden Echo album ( her most recent ), for its creativity and jazz influence, but this style also suits her so well. I find myself in the Sing Sing studio section from time to time, just reliving the time when i first found Kimbra. This set up suits her voice, her performance skills and everything so well, it's a joy to see. And obviously the band are great too.
Pretty much exactly my own experience and thoughts. Stumbling upon this set when it was first posted to UA-cam was a revelation. I love the way her music has evolved, but these videos are still my favorite performances of her. Looking forward to the third album!
Recently became a Kimber fan. Video is 10 yrs old: won't blame myself. She does not get much play in USA unfortunately. She was featured on Somebody I Use to Know in 2012. Hope the 2020's is her decade.
First heard the magic that is Kimbra in 2012, and listened to everything she has done since. Finally got the chance to see her live in the UK in 2019. Truly amazing! I don't think I'll ever stop loving what she does!!
Maybe this is my cup of tea??? I can't stop coming back for more. . Great music is great because of passion, and Kimbra has passion. Kimbra is a STAR, some just can't see the shine.....yet
Verse 1] I feel the four become five And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting For you to walk down the boulevard And to take me, take me, take me But the moment you appear You wake me, wake me, wake me Out of the slumbers of my head From the slums of loneliness [Hook] And there's no conspiracy Behind the way two hearts meet When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street) And I think I'm ready To let you get under my skin I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street) [Verse 2] We're coming close to our fame They'll put a star beside our names But I couldn't care for the history When I've got you in front of me And the cars could all collide The shards of glass won't catch my eye Because you're almost by my side We're counting down at the green light [Hook] And there's no conspiracy Behind the way two hearts meet When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street) And I think I'm ready To let you get under my skin I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street) And there's no conspiracy Behind the way two hearts meet When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street) And I think I'm ready To let you get under my skin I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street)
im glad this vid is back since youtube keeps deleting it. Its finally 3 million views. this is such an amazing version. she needs to release these sessions
![Kimbra - Two Way Street [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
tearing 😢 for this version, full of emotions. 2024 and still loving this session ....
Honestly same!!
Yeah 100% she is amazing
X2
2024 and still listening to her songs..
Facts this and settle down
This band and sound is the best version of Kimbra. I dig her new stuff, but these sessions are what made me start loving her in the first place. It's just good music. Period.
YoutanPoluo I completely agree
I also agree. She needs to record albums with a live band and capture that vibe. It’s so brilliant. Her albums have been a bit dissapointing. This live session was truly amazing.
She sold her soul. That's why her newer music is terrible. The old her had more spirit in the music.
Ditto!
True, but I think what gets me going is seeing her perform. She's so into her own music and feels it fully. It's a fantastic performance!
What really slays me in this version is how when she sings with the backing chord in the chorus (rather than the melody), she hits the minor 7th, which gives the overall chord this tension that's just seeking resolution and gives those little moments in the song such a feeling of yearning. It's such a tiny little detail, but it sounds so good and adds so much to the arrangement. Kimbra is such a brilliant talent and artist.

Yes! I didn’t know the technicalities of that, but you nailed exactly what I was thinking. That one note is amazing.
Are you guys talking about at 2:05? 😃
Great comment and observation.
@@justadjustor8993 yes
I can't express how much better this version is than the studio version, still got is riped off from youtube and diggin it even 6 years later
I would pay big money to see her perfom in this config, so good even 13 years later
Her album versions are good, but her live versions are waaaay better! Fantastic sound!
Specifically her Sing Sing Studios versions c:
DasSchwarzeSchafe I thought I was the one who felt that way!!
Hallo are you still ok UA-cam 🙂
on*
@@e11xct Yes! I am eternal. Like Kimbra's music.
No bells. No whistles. No bullsh*t. Just pure talent. This woman is a beast.
This IS woman... AT her BEST
@@markstraszynski2574 TRUUUUTH 🤣😂
Haahaaa 😂 yep
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH 😂❤❤❤❤🔥🔥
She has this sexy, Great Gatsby meets Amy Winehouse vibe ❤
Kimbra is a testament to the beauty of the human soul. What a treasure.
I will love you for always, Kimbra. Forever.
I remember watching this about 3 years ago, I used too be obsessed with this song , now I'm back at it 😂😂😂.
I still am.
sameee
i'm obsessed with cameo lover
kkkkkkkkkkk i was just thinking the same thing
uva 4Gcyyp0çç a 9HYZU8HZZH H H
this is still one of my favorite things she has ever done.
same. i come back to these sessions year after year. the band was so on point and full
Same
Facts!!❤❤❤
I love how she expresses her emotions through her singing and dancing, she never holds back
Her technical control of her tone is just... incredible.
2:22 - 2:47 Has got to be one of the most sonically pleasing breakdowns ever!!! Still floored by these performances after all these years.
Yeah
Still an all time favorite. I have seen this so many times and it's just as good every time.
2024? you are so beautiful back then
Her hand gestures are beautiful
This one invokes such great vibes. I will always go back to enjoy this specific performance.
She is the kind of brillant artist who is better live than audio!!!
yeah she's in the league of john mayer and jason mraz.
I don't always listen to Kimbra.
But when I do, my hands go everywhere.
I can't believe this was 14 years ago, I listen to this session all the time.
coming back around to this in 2023, working on an acoustic version, would love to hear kimbra do this acoustically too (but the instrumentation is so good with the vocal effects)
I really want her to come back to this, but I think this just makes me appreciate every era she has
one of the few times I prefer live over the album. it sounds more smoother and jazz like.
3:36 that dance im in love lol
Just watching her sing this song and i just keep thinking one thing. "HOW is it possible for her to be so perfect????"
omy goodness why the hell does it have to be so earth shateringly good
it just is......
One of the most musical and passionate female vocalists I've heard in decades. The Sing Sing Studios takes are just phenomenal.
I come here year after year... I bought your first album Kimbra and I enjoyed it thoroughly, but the recording on there does not compare to this perfect masterpiece you created on that day at this studio. In fact, I have lost touch with your modern music, there was one video in particular that did not grip me, and while I promise to get back into it some day because I think you are amazing, nothing will ever compare to this little piece of music. All 6 songs recorded there were amazing, but this one in particular has captured a piece of my heart. Beginning to end.
Completely agree
Same
Cant believe this was TEN years ago wtf where does the time go?!!
I like her style and music
This version is the best.. 3:22 drum fill followed by those vocals, gold.
You used to be able to download this version for free from her web site.
I just checked. You can download it for free from her FB page, not her web site.
Yep. Nice fill and nice idea to add a 2/4 bar to include that fill :-)
ImaginaryBluesMusic ehehe, adding a 2/4 measure instead of a 4/4 into a song makes the song more beautiful :-)
I was more amazed with the guitar at 3:19 Wow
Well executed.
I literally only watch this for the 2:22 minute mark I can't stop replaying it 😂😂
ImakeucryxD I know....I always close my eyes, imagine if she was deep inside a cave or forest and all you hear is her singing as you go towards her voice....that would be amazing
Devin Cobain perfect
+ImakeucryxD Yeah it is pretty damned spectacular. I showed my sister this video yesterday and today she called me, "what was the name of that video again." She was mesmerized.
Oh Com'on! that's the worst Part of the Song!
Been a fan for ten years now......hopefully many, many more!
Kimbra is the perfect embodiment of an all rounded artiste: She has great stage presence, she is a brilliant performer and has a phenomenal voice. Why isn't she more popular?
I agree her performance in this video shoot is impeccable.
2:47 I ALWAYS get chills at this part
+Westcoaststyling 2:21 for me.
The whole flipping song make me tense there's so much expectation or something. I dunno. Just you keep waiting for the song to explode but it's already exploded just how much more full on can it get.
+tekokako i love this song so much
me from 2:20 ....brrrrrrr!! ;)
Same!!!
it's been 9 years, gosh.... this whole live at sing sing gives me so much chills, love to watch her perform, it's so genuine and..... awesome to experience.
i can't believe shes only 19 in this, she seems so much older, but in a good way
Only 19?!
well shes older now, but when this was uploaded she was 19 or so
serious?...19?.... thats my favorite number
If this was recorded in 2011 as the description suggests, she'd be 21 in this video!
@@magicfordogs That was in 2010.
She has this rich voice. I like it.
I'm so sad that I didn't discover Kimbra till now. She gets so into her music. Each performance is unique and beautiful ♥
someone else 2021 who misses this kimbra?💖🥺
This is real music
i've been visiting here every week just to listen to this song and look at her beautiful face. I love her music.
update still my favorite song. (august 2022)
This is one of the most perfect songs and performances I’ve ever seen in my life! Truly staggering how much emotion this song invokes!
Solid as waiata kiwiana kimbra! 👍😝✌️💯
Coming back here feels right
That really is some seriously good stuff.
I want to see what she sees in her head while she sings. Are notes flying around in the air?
I wouldn't be surprised at all if she has some form of Synesthesia.
I love everything about Kimbra especially her voice! Even her weird gestures LOL
Isn't it neat to witness competent musicians having fun? All of the videos from this session are such a pleasure to watch.
I believe in Kimbra so hard
I have come back to this performance every few months for the past 9 years. My favourite track from the album, sounds even better live!
one of the best things on youtube
Ok her voice is just ridiculous.
She s drenched in a crazy amount of talent. It just kills.
Omg I literally remembered this out of nowhere right now. I was 11 years old obsessing over her, and now I am 17. I can’t believe I thought about her right now.
I love her movements into the song she really gets into it
2:22 --The vocal break in this song is POWERFUL. You know Kimbra's good because she is almost always better live and each live performance has its own character and really stands on its own. The album version, Sing Sing version, and billboard version are all amazing but for different reasons! So dynamic.
I love this album, her movements, voice, just filled with so much energy, passion and weird quirkiness that I adore but can't explain...
Been a fan of hers for ages but never realized how young she actually was. I was definitely NOT as comfortable in my own skin when I was 20. wow
108 people are too stunned by her beauty, and amazing voice; they couldn't handle it.
I saw this video, and the rest of the Sing Sing playlist, when it was at about 2,000 views. And suddenly Kimbra has come such a long way. I'm someone who loves the Golden Echo album ( her most recent ), for its creativity and jazz influence, but this style also suits her so well.

i feel the same way!
I completely agree
Holy shit...she's amazing.
This song always makes me tense all the way through she's just so intense.
And that, people, IS how you COMMIT to your passion
Mbro..! So solid as sis... solid unity tuned n from Aotearoa New Zealand 🤔
2:22 When she hit that note I was covered in goosebumps. If this was mastered a bit I love it more than the album version.
love every single part of her performance!
No autotune required, just pure heaven.The music possess her, so cool.
Have nothing against her latest music, but I miss this Kimbra. Jazz-fusion. Excellent chill music. :)
This is major league, seriously good shit ….
She is just stunning xx
Her voice is like a violin. So beautiful.
love this version so so much!
I love Kimbra
Recently became a Kimber fan. Video is 10 yrs old: won't blame myself. She does not get much play in USA unfortunately. She was featured on Somebody I Use to Know in 2012. Hope the 2020's is her decade.
I just discovered this beauty... Still relevant and unparalleled in 2019 !
She sings like an angel. 👼 👼 👼
First heard the magic that is Kimbra in 2012, and listened to everything she has done since. Finally got the chance to see her live in the UK in 2019. Truly amazing!
I don't think I'll ever stop loving what she does!!
I’m listening for this song more than 6 years….
Peace of art
This song lives in my head permanently
I love this music, it's so real
Back in 2019 😍
I really love Kimbra's awkward dancing XD
just the way she sings the word "conspiracy" melts everything about me. magical voice.
Maybe this is my cup of tea??? I can't stop coming back for more. . Great music is great because of passion, and Kimbra has passion.
Kimbra is a STAR, some just can't see the shine.....yet
i love the way she mooves
Every Year I go back to this video, I look up to her performances for confidence
I miss her band, they make the perfect match with kimbra´s voice.
What. A voice. She. Has. Talented. Beautiful. I love. Her...❤
Always reinventing herself, even between the album version and each live performance. Outstanding!
i love you Kimbra!
Verse 1]
I feel the four become five
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
For you to walk down the boulevard
And to take me, take me, take me
But the moment you appear
You wake me, wake me, wake me
Out of the slumbers of my head
From the slums of loneliness
[Hook]
And there's no conspiracy
Behind the way two hearts meet
When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street)
And I think I'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street)
[Verse 2]
We're coming close to our fame
They'll put a star beside our names
But I couldn't care for the history
When I've got you in front of me
And the cars could all collide
The shards of glass won't catch my eye
Because you're almost by my side
We're counting down at the green light
[Hook]
And there's no conspiracy
Behind the way two hearts meet
When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street)
And I think I'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street)
And there's no conspiracy
Behind the way two hearts meet
When love is a two way street (Love is a two way street)
And I think I'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me (Love is a two way street)
2:19 to 2:25 💜💜💜 that note melted my soul
im glad this vid is back since youtube keeps deleting it. Its finally 3 million views. this is such an amazing version. she needs to release these sessions
one of the best performances I've seen in my 23 years of existence
She's so talented :O
Go Kimbra! You're awesome!
WOW!!! just WOW still in fucking love years later
Wow why I am just finding this music now? She is so talented it hurts!
This woman is a singer's singer. Finally!
