I've watched as many performances of "Brother's Blood" as I could find on UA-cam with the hope that I'd find one I connected with enough to make me feel even half of the emotions that I felt seeing it performed live. This performance shattered me like a mirror and I think that's the closest I'll ever get. Suffice to say, search over.
There is no way someone would perform like that if they didn't mean every single lyric. Each and every word sounds like it came straight from his heart.
You can see him essentially get so entangled in the raw emotion and reverie of his own song and then it’s almost as if he snaps out of abstraction @4:44 and remembers he’s in a tent playing for people. It’s a subtle and beautiful moment but one I am glad the crew caught it on camera. It was a genuine “oh shit, I forgot I’m playing for all of these people”
i saw him a week ago in munich and this song was also so intense and meaningful. The whole audience was perfectly silent and i started crying. Love this guy, he's so nice and gentle. I believe that more people deserve to know him.
I have never heard a Kevin Devine song before. I think this is the best introduction I could have gotten. I have never heard this level of emotion in anything before. Wow.
Kevin fulfilled my dreams when he finished his show opener for the Front Bottoms in Minneapolis with this song. The passion is so strong with this song and gets me in the feels every time. Kevin thank you for your music and being an awesome guy. Thanks for hanging out after the show and taking photos.
Thanks, bruh. ETA: This is the one song/performance that captures my grief since my twin brother decided (understandably, mind you) that he'd seen enough and left the planet.
How do you even carry out post concert convo with your girl after that. Just hearing it on UA-cam for the zillionth time makes me not want to speak for at least a half hour 😂
I feel like this needs to be said.. this song reminds me of watching my dad cuddle my little brother at night until he’d fall asleep.. I’d watch from the top bunkbed across our room, he was on the bottom of the other. I’d never felt loved by him like that. And then a few years later my dad committed suicide. I hate him, but I can see a different kind of hurt in my little brothers eyes. The emotion when Kevin screams heals me.
modern music doesnt suck, your just listening to the wrong artists, unless your talking about the mainstream, cause if so your in lala land to ever thing the mainstream was ever good past the 1970's
tHIS IS THE BEST YOU EVER DID he tells me Kevin Devine entertaint the notion that Giod likes you wants a propmise in your mouth Maye HWTA TOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABIOUT GOD IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN MAYBE YOU DO NIGHT AFTR NIGHT MAYBE THEY WANT YOUR DIALOGUE MAYBE IN YOUR _________ HEART
That felt so personal. I honestly feel like I violated his personal space by listening haha,
I still hold my pillow tight to this day 😏
That's what songs should do....
*I came here to see if this guy was worth seeing at a local tavern this weekend. Thanks for posting this. This made my decision really easy.*
Hope you got to see him and enjoyed it :)

The emotion is almost uncomfortable. It's as if he is reading us a part out of his journal. So good

This version makes me wonder what happened to him that day. Or in that period of his life. It's brought in a way you don't hear anywhere else.
We lost my oldest son in 2002, a few years ago I heard my youngest son listening to this... broke my heart All over again... only had 2 sons....
Damn “ and each desperate try for elusive peace and every endless night, and each wasted week.”...I felt that.
This is my favorite version of this song and of anything ever. Kevin is incomparably gorgeous and heartbreaking.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this, but it gets me every time. The emotion is palpable.
Wow, passion. Its what I like in ANY genre of music.
3:15-4:15 is my favorite part of the song.

He is such a gift to the world
This version needs to be on Spotify or iTunes like now its so good WHY IS THIS NOT AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD
Thanks, bruh.

This ginger most definitely has a soul
weezle2371
The only one of his kind. He's a traitor to the ginger race.
Lol i never knew there were ginger memes
The energy displaced about 3 minutes in shook everyone in that tent I’m sure

How it the world this doesn’t have millions of views boggles my mind.

I envy the people who got to see this live.
God I could feel the raw emotion in his lyrics to the point where I started tearing up. Like idk the way he sings just provokes so many emotions
Awesome. Kevin ist such an awesome artist, may be it solo or with band.
