Long live listener. No musician has affected my view of the world as much as this man and his wonderfully bearded friend. Come to Sweden, aight? Cheers
The group is called Listener. Now I'm not one to judge too quickly, but I am not sure you're taking their name into consideration. Try listening to the words, then give more well-thought feedback! If you still think it is "vomiting endless platitudes and excremental blather" then that's fine. Different strokes for different folks; we are all in this together!

Sometimes I feel like a square trying to fit in all the wrong circles. It's hard to see your dreams when you're eyes are black and purple. Getting broken by the beat down in each and every small town. Some call it love I call it a heart attack with a new sound. Population you and me tonight we're speaking gospel to a handful turn up the lights so we can see and put our problems on the anvil. This place is an ashtray and you're anything but: the used up end of a cigarette where the nicotine cuts. So...Follow this second hand smoke and mirrors routine we can all be friends I promise it won't hurt to bleed. These are my deaf dumb blind scribblings every single word. My only prayer is that they're regarded as retarded and never heard. This all I have it's all I know it's not a lot. All I have are words, here this is all I got Hey I'm sorry because I've been gone such a long long time. please, I promise I'll be there for you I'd hit the pavement again but all my knuckles are broken, and there's no use saving them because all I'm doing is choking. It's another hundred miles on this long gray road I'm trying and another hundred dives in a row I'm diving in. That, glass of water so I can feel maybe something to fill this soul. We're all thirsty I know. Well I won't be your clown tonight. Sorry yall I've got no tricks, but I'm willing to take a look at what you need fixed. and that's all I have to offer I'm the cheap version of what you need. I'm a liar I cheat and I steal, it's all for me. This is my deepest secret please tell everyone you meet. This is all I have. I have nothing but attention when I scream
@Skillsss123 good. i hate what those shows deem as 'good'. that's not good, it's mainstream. and i guarantee you they don't have passion like people like this.
So many words for such little content. In case you don't realize it, most poetry is edited, re-edited, reduced to it's essential core. And it does not need to rhyme . Ever.
The language in most popular songs now a days are god awful. It's just sung in a catchy melody so radio stations will play it. If you listen to the words of his songs you'll realize that you made a terrible observation.
had an amazing talk with this guy last year at a coffee shop.. hes been the inspirtation for my poetry
fucking love these guys. helped me through some shit. singing songs about nothing but crying because they mean so much to him

this reminds me of mewithoutyou's older music... but folky. ans with different imagery. awesome stuff!
Dan Smith and his music never fail to fill my heart and soul with inspiration and passion~
so much better then the album version!!!!! i love this band soooo much !! don't overproduce , you don't need it
Even if he was not, the sheer power of his words, the honesty in his passionate vocals make him great \m/
Dan is usually fantastic anyway, but you can tell he's really on-point here. Absolutely stunning.
Back here five years later. It feels like a lifetime has passed since I left my last comment, but I'm still here and still appreciating this.

Just because there is music doesn't mean he is singing.
Most of it is spoken. And he's a poet by every definition of the word.
1:50
"That's all I have to offer, I'm a cheap version of what you need, I'm a liar a cheat and still that's all for me!"

@RadBrad13 Lets not propagate hate. Live and let live bro, lets just grow bold together.

@Skillsss123 good. i hate what those shows deem as 'good'. that's not good, it's mainstream. and i guarantee you they don't have passion like people like this.
fuck yehhhhhh
@MrBTMedia
That is a horrible idea.
and for what its worth, he was a rapper before he was doing spoken word. And he was pretty decent.
So many words for such little content. In case you don't realize it, most poetry is edited, re-edited, reduced to it's essential core. And it does not need to rhyme . Ever.
he was chubby. but i still love him.
The language in most popular songs now a days are god awful. It's just sung in a catchy melody so radio stations will play it. If you listen to the words of his songs you'll realize that you made a terrible observation.
I guess economy of language is dead. Vomiting endless platitudes and excremental blather passes for musical genius these days.
