    If someone were to ask me "Who is Clyde Lawrence?", I would guide them to this video. His vocals, swagger and stage presence, tickling the fuck out of the ivories and songwriting are all on display here. Michael Karsh on the bass killing it, as well. Another all around amazing Lawrence performance.

      Totally agree! And the bass and horn section are complimenting one another so well. Everyone just KIILLING!!!

    Bass fill at 2:00 ... talk about phrasing, god damn. I have never heard a more perfect spot for a fill that still feels so natural.

      Michael Karsh is a name you're going to hear associated with amazing bass players in the near future, that was indeed tasty as Thrifty rainbow shebet. Best bass player I've heard in a band since P-Nut of 311.

    [Verse 1]
    Hello again
    It's been a while
    Lately I want nothing much at all to do with you
    I miss when
    You used to smile
    There ain't no piece of cake if you're gonna have and eat it too
    [Chorus 1]
    Woe is me
    Woe is me
    With whom is it that you have been
    Sitting in a tree
    Woe is me
    Are you my friend or enemy?
    I don't know so I won't keep you close as you can be
    [Verse 2]
    When I'm alone
    It's fruits and veggies
    Orange you so glad that I had you to write about?
    Red is the rose
    And white is the lily
    I'm a melon cauliflower
    Honeydew you feel me now?
    [Chorus 2]
    Woe is me
    Woe is me
    An apple every day won't cure my insecurity
    Woe is me
    Are you my friend or enemy?
    I don't know so I won't keep you close as you can be
    [Chorus 3]
    Woe is me
    Woe is me
    Who is it that you have been
    Something I-N-G
    Woe is me
    Are you my friend or enemy?
    I don't know so I won't keep you close as you can be
    [Chorus 4]
    Woe is me
    Woe is me
    And no amount of idioms
    Is going to ever set me free
    Woe is me
    Are you my friend or enemy?
    And I don't know so I won't keep you close as you can be
    [Outro]
    I keep you close as you can be
    Ooh
    Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
    As close as you can be
    My friend or enemy
    Ooh
    Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

    I don't know how all the other guys in the band manage not to fall in love with Gracie when working so closely with her...sorry, just a thought that keeps crossing my mind whenever I see her perform.

  • @iroulis
    @iroulis Рік тому

    Gracie needs a pedal on her mic for volume and effects, at least distortion, for the bridge of I'm Confident I'm Insecure.

  • @ynotlaz
    @ynotlaz 6 років тому +1

    I absolutely love these guys but I have to be honest, the sooner we realize that Grace should be the lead singer on 90% of the stuff the sooner this band will get to the next level. It's just the way the business is and she's the better singer no offense.

    • @tjagopeet6240

      Depends on the songs, i mean they both have golden pipes, just their voices suit different songs

    • @d.c.o.7544
      @d.c.o.7544 5 років тому +3

      I think his is actually underrated and occasionally she gets super-nasally, but I still stan for them big time. Great live as well.

    • @SonicAlchemy13
      @SonicAlchemy13 4 роки тому +4

      It is inevitable that Gracie will have her side/solo projects and her own identity in the business but Lawrence isn't Lawrence without their dual vocals and the chemistry it creates. It's an integral part of their sound and I don't think it needs to be fixed. I think they both get their fair amount of time to shine and do it well.
