    He's really out here with like a dozen forest nymphs and witches that have all mastered this really difficult clapping and snapping while adding ethereal vocals to his already outstanding voice...like how

      It is very cool and well done but any muso should be able to do that or they wouldn’t be in a band of that caliber.
      Wonderful and exciting version tho. Really, really enjoyable. ❤️

      You know I’ve felt a little guilty after my earlier comment in that I don’t want to make it sound like you have to be something special to do those claps.
      You could absolutely do it too with a little practice. Firstly there are 2 (maybe 3, I can’t remember) different parts going on. Watch and see how the 2 parts bland to give a more complex result.
      If you focus on one part only you will see it is much more do-able. Concentrate on one of the simplest one to start just keeping in mind where the beats are. 1 2 3 4.
      Practice makes perfect, just like you can rest assured they did plenty of, and you’ll get it.

    I came in from the outside
    Burnt out from the joy ride
    She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway
    Played from the bedside
    Is "Stella By Starlight"
    "That Was My Heart"
    The drums that start off "Night And Day"
    The same kind of music haunts her bedroom
    I'm almost me again, she's almost you
    I wouldn't know where to start
    "Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
    Be still "My Foolish Heart, "
    Don't ruin this on me
    I wouldn't know where to start
    "Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
    Be still "My Foolish Heart, "
    Don't ruin this on me
    Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them
    The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
    Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft
    As Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost"
    And "Let The Good Times Roll"
    Let "Smoke Rings" from this "Paper, Doll"
    Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of
    "It Don't Mean A Thing"
    I've got some colour back, she thinks so, too
    I laugh like me again, she laughs like you
    I wouldn't know where to start
    "Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
    Be still "My Foolish Heart, "
    Don't ruin this on me

    I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where
    I wouldn't know
    "The Very Thought Of You" and "Am I Blue"?
    "A Love Supreme" seems far removed
    "I Get Along Without You Very Well, " some other nights
    The radio news reader chimes
    Reporting "Russian Lullabies"
    She'll turn to me awake and ask, Is everything "Alright"
    I wouldn't know where to start
    "Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
    Be still "My Foolish Heart, "
    Don't ruin this on me
