About St. Paul and The Broken Bones:
Grit, elemental rhythm, tight-as-a-drumhead playing, and a profound depth of feeling: these are the promises of a great soul band. And St. Paul & The Broken Bones deliver on those promises.
Half The City is the compelling full-length Single Lock/Thirty Tigers debut of the Birmingham, Alabama-based sextet, who have already created a maelstrom of interest with their roof-raising live shows and self-released four-song 2012 EP. Produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes, and recorded and mixed in the storied R&B mecca of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the album harkens back to the region’s classic soul roots while extending the form with electrifying potency.

Lyrics:
How do we always do this,
Turn ourselves around?
Remember when those sweet memories
Used to soothe us, used to make us smile
We put on our Sunday best
We live our quiet mess
But we'll never be married
I know that I've been cold
Baby, I, I ain't got no soul
I have had those sweet sugar thoughts
They're taken away from me
They can't nab no more
I just have to be so unhappy
We put on our Sunday best
We live our quiet mess
But we'll never be married
Give me time
Give me time, Give me time
Ooooooo
You've got to give me time
Please don't leave me baby,
I can't have you leavin' me
I...I know where it is you've gone
That old grass ain't greener (x2)
I know baby, 'cuz I've been there
I know it ain't, I know it ain't,
It ain't greener
I know it ain't, I know, I know, I know...
Time, time, time
Ohhh, sweet time
Please don't leave me, Please don't leave me
Time, time, time
Ohhh, sweet time
Please don't leave me, Please don't leave me
I can't have you leavin' me
Please don't leave me,
Please don't leave me
He sounds exactly like I think I sound in the shower.
This comment cracks me up every time I come back to this song🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying
Perfect comment! Beat I've EVER agreed with!
#UnderRatedComment
“Baby I ain’t got no soul”
Proceeds to throw soul all over the song
🤣😁
You can’t have this much soul in your music and leave any more for yourself
Right it made me stand up
Yes indeed, Al Bundy’s comment has nailed it. These guys have got funk and soul in spades, I love their music.
Wish they would come out with more music. These guys are awesome
The vocals are absolutely nuts. I'll completely agree with everyone on that.
But let's talk about that band. Holy hell. Tight, simple rhythms, and they build and fall just when they need to. Perfectly accents the vocals without overpowering them or getting overlooked by them.
The world is going to hell in a handbasket, but at least we'll have some great tunes.
I 100% agree. this just followed up randomly on some other stuff I was listening too and it pulled me right out of what I was doing so I could check out what was going on in my ear holes. Good stuffs
Jack Splash. Producer
so dope, they came to my town and played a small venue I was so happy. Yeah in this video nobody misses a thing, perfect.
I’ve seen them live twice. They are music nerds who met buy chance at a record shop. Thank an all power, if necessary that they did imho.
This is also one of Paul’s favorite songs to play live. He says it gains so much momentum.
I am 72 year old Granny and after lockdown this band make me think life is still worth living.Just amazing.Thank you St Paul and the Broken Bones from the United Kingdom.
Couldn't agree with you more!❤👏🏼
This band literally saved my life at a certain point. I think I owe part of my will to live to them. I hope youre doing well, granny. Sending my love to you and to this band.
this new discovery was absolutely a pleasant lovely surprise!!..😢..I Iisten to NPR radio and I cannot believe my timing?? ..I couldn't believe it!!..I'm been tripping on a "love my fellow humans" natural high and this has reaffirmed my faith in humanity..youkiddinme? Whatta gas people's!! 😊
Why did you listen to ANY tyrant who told you what to do? They told me to stay home, I said NEVER. They told me to wear a mask, I said NOT TODAY. Back your request with actual science and I'll weigh my options, until then, NO.
Hi, they are from the USA👍
My voice doesn’t sound like his, but my soul does.
My voice doesn't sound like his, but my body looks like his. 🤔
Agreed!

Awesome band! I love the way the singer looks like he works in a bank and has just dropped in to sing a song during his lunch break.
He did work at a bank I’m pretty sure
He was an actual banker before going music full time 😂😂
He was a banker 😃
....he legit used to work at a bank 😂
Seen them in concert 3 times....do yourself a huge favor and go when they’re near you. By “near” I mean within 1300 miles
LMAO 🚁🚢🚌🚙
This song came up on a Spotify recommendation and I was blown away by the vocals so I researched the band and found they are playing Red Rocks, my ultimate bucket list of a concert venue so we are making a 14-hour drive in July to see them. Can not WAIT.
YES! They are amazing! One of the best live shows I've had the privilege to work years ago at the Dothan Opera House!
Still one my favorite morning songs
Not all sermons are delivered in church! Preach the gospel of the Broken Bones! This force of nature with Otis Redding sweat on his brow and Al Green smoke coming out of his ears heals the lame and the halt. Get on with it, y'all!!
Amen
🤟

Nicely written! Love
Awesome voice, with a superb band. Where the hell did these guys come from and why are they not a global sensation!!??
alabama, they r too good for regular people to hear
Andy W soon enough they will be everywhere.!! Birmingham and Muscle Shoals Alabama..! Where soul was born. Speaking of which I would suggest watching the documentary called Muscle Shoals on Netflix if you lie this kind of music! Peace
I've been listening to them since 2013
Your Mom someone at work was tellin me to watch that today, and here you are recommending it, i guess ill have to watch it now.
cuz people prefer autotune singers and mumble rappers
7.9 Billion people have never heard this song, and that makes me sad.
🤦♂️
👌🇲🇽
Slow dancing to this in quarantine hits different stay safe yall 🤟🤟🤟 💯💯💯
Five months later we're still dancing sir - sending our best to you and yours! 💯🙏🏻
🥳🥰
Hot? Man, we from Alabama. Dirty South soundtracks are unparalleled in soulful expressions.
Yes we are! Bham girl here. I have loved em since the beginning! 💕
Amen. These guys should tour with another Southern gem: The Marcus King Band.
What a voice! What a band. Seeing them live is mandatory !
This dude is out here looking like the guy that voices Olaf and having a voice that brings heaven to earth, and I'm in awe.
First time I’ve ever cried in public was when I saw St Paul and the Broken Bones perform this song live. The “time time time” part started and I just couldn’t hold it together. So much soul and power. I really hope I get to see them live again.
Inspiring for me to hear this..I wish music affected more this way..That's a true feeling ❤ thanks for sharing
Years later and this song .... Never misses
Couldn't agree more!
Proper restraint shown here. What I mean to say is anyone of the band could’ve gone rogue at any moment and started wailing at level 10 or blaring their instruments but everyone is in check and it’s a beautiful thing. Too many singers on the talent shows seem to think more is better when sometimes more is just more. This is an excellent tune, done right.
Addendum: Two years later and I still think they’re an awesome, tight playing band and the lead singer is phenomenal.
Bruce Angel I agree, but I feel like this song would be amazing if each player had taken a solo and just let rip... singer is amazing, but the band almost felt too restrained. Still, amazing song.
My knock of some of his other vocal stylings...
I think a collab with lake street dive would make the world bust out in tears
+Brendon Bailey
She is Awesome!!!
AGREE!
Excellent idea!
2023 I have listened to this song a million times!! He says I can’t have you leaving me…the grass ain’t greener
Glad to be here although I'm almost 6 years late to the party
I know what yah mean. Me too is late to that very party. But hey.
Me and you both and I’m an Audiophool from the Ham...SMH
They say better late than never. I'm certainly better for it.
Same.
Saved a seat for you
I was not ready for the amount of soul that you guys have
These guys and Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats (similar sound, his voice is insane as well) are some of the saving graces of today's music.
Hair standing up and shivers through my body. So glad I learned of you tonight
I fucking love St. Paul and the broken bones!
+felixfelicia Did you see the 3rd video we just posted with them? We got 2 more old ones to post with them!
+OurVinyl Oh, I've seen all their videos.
Sing it girl
God I love so many songs, but few of them gave me chills to the spine so fast and strong as this one did at 3:51
Sounds like a white Otis Reading
Thanks guys, u're amazing!
Keep on playing
HOLD MY MAGNOLIA ,THE HEART OF SOUTHERN SOUL IS STILL BEATING,
how are these guys not ridiculously famous?
Andrew T time...just give it time..
Your Mom still waiting.. lol
That's probably the last thing they need.
They have all the passion they need here. Being this good has got to be tough to top lol
Goodness that voice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 why am I just now hearing this youtube?!
It actually made me teary! HOLY SHIT THIS BAND
I think he just had me hit by the Holy Ghost! Lol! Wow! Amazing!
Big Little Lies brought me here! 👀 This man can saaang! 🤭🤯🥺😭🙃🥰
Tears pouring down my face that grip in the back of my throat processing this absolute masterpiece
I am mad I haven't heard this song sooner. God damn this man can sing and this band can play
How does this not have a 10 million views?!?!?! Amazing performance
His movements are perfectly synchronised with music.
Goosebumps!
I found ANOTHER GEM 💎
This mans little dance moves are straight flavaaaaaa!!!! Yes!
What a band , what a voice ......amazing
I cant get enough...i listen to this at leat 11 times a day
Brutal.
Ok fella you got a new fan!
This is been my go to song for few months now ❤
Absolutely mind blowing
Oh damn. This song is so good that I feel changes in my soul made by music.
MrGrendisk amen! It's moves you
This song, and this band in general, always put a smile on my face
So St. Paul & the Broken Bones happened to be on my Spotify Discover Playlist. Within two minutes of listening to "I'm Torn Up", I was getting their album and watching as many videos as I possibly could on here.
For I did not believe reincarnation was possible until I heard Otis Redding belting out of Paul Janeway's vocal chords.
Listen to what I say.......I’m standing close to the speaker with a cold one movin’ n groovin’ to this sound,,,,,,,respect my space cause dayummmmm its a party for one!
The energy is absolutely contagious and intoxicating. I can clearly and easily see Paul behind the pulpit of a southern Pentecostal church just as easily behind this microphone.
i listen to everything and everybody I always say after watching the country pop rock etc award shows that there is no good music since the 90s...WELL I DONT KNOW IF THESE GUYS ARE STILL TOGETHER BUT THIS IS THE ONLY REALLY GOOD THING IVE HEARD IN 30 YEARS...FUCCCCCIN TIMELESS
We couldn’t agree more and is one of the reasons we started the channel. If you liked St. Paul check out our session with The Dip! - Mike
do they still exist??? were they a one hit wonder??@@OurVinyl
THERE IS STILL HOPE AND LOVE AND JOY AND HEARTACHE IN THIS WORLD - THIS MUSIC IS BEYOND SPECIAL - CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM!
what a sound
First UA-cam shows me the Teskey Brothers, now these guys...thank you, algorithm!
The Teskey Brothers are one of my favorite groups. Are you familiar with Jacob Banks
I startetd to listen to this band about 6 years ago. I had dificult times in germany and this men and his band helped me to survive in a world full of sleepers.👽❣🙏👁
Thank you Dad for showing me the Bluegrass Underground concert on PBS! Seriously had to pick my jaw up off the floor after watching Broken Bones and Pocket Change live down in that cave! If he hadn't turned me on to them I never would have been exposed to the brilliance and magic of Paul Janeway and the amazing band! So wish they would come to KCMO! Thank you Daddy!❤🙌🏼👏🏼
He’s got that old skool soul/blues church voice 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 the band 🔥
Tiiiiiiime
Sometimes your hear a song that says how you feel inside - those complucated feelings you don't quite understand. When I hear the passion in this sermon, I know there is still hope for us all
Big Little Lies. I recognized the beauty in the 5 seconds y’all got. This is soooouullll.
How do we always do this
Turn ourselves around
Remember when those sweet memories used to soothe us
Used to make us smile
We put on our Sunday best
We live our quiet mess, but we'll never be merry
I know I have been cold
I just ain't got no soul
I have had those sweet sugar thoughts but they were taken away from me
Can't melt me no more, I will have to be just so unhappy
We put on our Sunday best
We live our quiet mess, but we'll never be merry
Give me time, give me time
You got to give me time
Please don't leave me baby, I can't have you leaving me
That ole grass ain't greener
I know baby cause I have been there
I know it ain't greener
Time time oh sweet time
Please don't leave me
Time time time oh sweet time
Please don't leave me, I can't have you leaving me

The people outside walking are a metaphor for life: don't get so caught up in your own ways that you walk by true greatness.
This is soul perfection, nothing else can explane it.
Fantastic comment right here!
The guitarist to the left of the drummer is a good friends son. He was born on my birthday and is awesomely talented. Not only musically but as an artist putting brush to paint.
So cool! Thanks for commenting!
i hope these guys get real big they deserve it the vocalist is amazing! best soul group ive heard in a long time!
They do deserve it, and I think they're on the way...
Dude...I just listened to the cut on the Half the City album. Legit tears. I'm overwhelmed. Damn.

It's so beautiful - I don't know if i want to cry or cry.
We put on our sunday best, we live a quiet mess....
St Paul's runs never stop. He just gives the broken bones time here and there to recoup.
Just got introduced to their music. AMAZING SINGER & BAND!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!! They will be my go to when Im having a few adult beverages by the fire❤❤❤❤❤
Not a "rock star" looking fella, but my God he can sing his soul out! What a band! Love it!

They’re performance of this song at the Americana Music Show a few years back was amazing…
Can’t find it online anymore
There are not enough thumbs up for this
Happy New Years 2024🎉
absolutely blown away... felt every note. no criticisms necessary. every note, every duration, every build up and break.... was just... direct injected perfect internal synchronization to the heart, soul and cerebellum.
I got chills (period)
