    Had depression that I could I recognise most of my life, around thirty years now, with leap-year highs maybe, the things I can remember. Music's brought me a lot of joy, but in the worst of it I forgot to listen to it, or just couldn't because I couldn't pick anything I wanted to listen to, until I heard Kurt Vile. However bad it gets now it doesn't matter much, because I can listen to Kurt whenever, whereever. It always sounds good to me. It doesn't make me happy, or sad, or anything. I don't need to feel anything, or worry about anything, but I can hear the groove, and listen, and it makes me feel better.

      You got it wrong, haters. The pauses are done on purpose - plus, playing a song like that acoustically versus with a full band, is an entirely different affair. If you want perfect covers, go see the Eagles - note-for-note (and quite boring) copies of their records. Live music has flaws; obviously you want to hear pristine tones. Not Kurt Vile

    @davidlloyddouglas 7 років тому +1

    This might have been the first song of the set. I have played a million shows with me standing on stage with just me and my guitar and usually the first two songs are the roughest. They are really easy to play perfectly in my rehearsal room where no one is watching. But live performance is whole different situation and I do agree it is important to perform well , but our human side seems to show up at the least opportune times. This song looks like it is difficult to play. It is easy to critique someone, especially if you've never done it yourself. Love the song

      Granted, I am making NO comparisons whatsoever here, NOR diminishing in any way the talent or performance of Kurt Vile. But one thing Jimi Hendrix was well known for was never really playing a song the same way with every performance. He was an improvisational guitarist, and that, my friends, is the best kind in my opinion. As for THIS performance? Maybe it was just a bad day or he hadn't played the song enough. Who knows? But I don't think it detracts from the originality not the artistic quality of the song.

He's clearly a genius in the studio... but he is just awful live. I've seen him and his band play and I've watched a lot acoustic live performances hoping to find one that will change my mind but he's just terrible, honestly if you're as talented as he is why is it that he can't perform, is he just fucking with us?

      it's easy to criticise. have you tried playing this song? i think he did great, this is not an easy song to play and he has no band backing him up. i'd like to see you try to play this song then try talking shit

      +waterdragon2012 how is it talking shit you 12 year old shit lord? i admitted it would be a hard song but how exactly do you butcher your own song, i never claimed i could play it better, but i expected better from the maker of it... ill upload a cover in a week and ill do a better rendition than this, the guy who made the damn song then managed to shit on it in front of 50+ people.

      Do you like the studio version? I think it's an amazing song.

    Disappointing amateur style with embarrassing pauses, so I will keep listening to his prerecorded tracks! Still respect him)))
