    I legit can't stop listening to this. I don't know how every song they touch becomes magic like this, but they are SO good.

      Chloe Keene part of it is their image. Their image seems to be three guys all caught up on, seemingly, the same girl who is unattainable and distant for whatever reason. Yet somehow, there is no jealousy or hostility between them. They just have a "hopeless romantic" vibe about them

    It's like someone handed a Sufjan Stevens song to Fleet Foxes. Incredible work Thirdstory!

    Spirit of my silence I can hear you
    But I'm afraid to be near you
    And I don't know where to begin
    And I don't know where to begin
    Somewhere in the desert there's a forest
    And an acre before us
    But I don't know where to begin
    But I don't know where to begin
    Again I've lost my strength completely, oh be near me
    Tired old mare with the wind in your hair
    Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?
    Well I suppose a friend is a friend
    And we all know how this will end
    Chimney swift that finds me, be my keeper
    Silhouette of the cedar
    What is that song you sing for the dead?
    What is that song you sing for the dead?
    I see the signal searchlight
    Strike me in the window of my room
    Well I got nothing to prove
    Well I got nothing to prove
    I forgive you, mother, I can hear you
    And I long to be near you
    But every road leads to an end
    But every road leads to an end
    Your apparition passes through me in the willows
    Five red hens - you'll never see us again
    You'll never see us again

    The slayage. I was about 10 seconds into this video, and had to stop it. I fangirled. These boys are amazing!!! Slay everytime. JESUS. Thirdstory you guys are beyond talented. It's so refreshing to hear the sound reminiscent of groups in Motown days and the Bee Gees. Ya'll are going to be HUGE.

    I'm going to be honest. I was worried this cover wasn't going to be good. I was blown away by your voices. So beautiful. Sufjan would probably be proud.

    Looking back on this and I’m just like”what a different time.” I was in he car with Geoff, Richard’s brother and he introduced me to this wonderful trio. I love their voices and their harmonies. We are absolutely missing this kind of musicianship in our time.

    The utter beauty of this cover is so moving.
    I'm also pleasantly surprised to learn that this song is by Sufjan Stevens, who also wrote and performed "Mystery of Love", my first real acknowledgement of his work, which was featured in Call Me By Your Name. His music is so tender.

    Brings me to tears every time... The harmonies get a bit off key when they climb that scale and hit the high notes, but other than that, an amazingly heartfelt and touching performance of one of my favorite songs.

      you know what I thought that too but as I listened I think that was on purpose. come to think about it they have done way more harder songs to keep harmony to think this simple one threw them off would do the m a major injustice

      EBEG#Be with no capo, or EbBbEbG(eb) with a capo on the first fret

    • @jeremykemp7197
      @jeremykemp7197 7 років тому

      Wow that's right on. Was just playing along! Any idea on picking pattern? The base note is obvious and it seems like he alternates hitting the third string and the second string depending on which chord he's playing, but doesn't use the first string except for the harmonic.
