Jim James doing what he does best, he seems to impress me more and more with every piece of music he writes. Love Jim James and My Morning Jacket!

[@Alexis-in8im]

you know i read a comment from someone on the vevo version of this song stating they have "NEVER" understood what this song us all about or what even means... well.. "PERSON FROM PREVIOUS POST WHOM I WONT NAME" if would ever STOP... for a moment from just blindly listening to music and falling in love with just the beats and sounds>>> and ACTUALLY listen to the words... or more yet... HEAR... the words... i believe you would absolutely love the song for now yet a WHOLE new reason>>> good luck to you!!! i know you will get it!! Peace out!

[@ClubMeerkat]

This song is so simple and beautiful. There is nothing to be confused about by it.

[@FutileInfatuations]

God damn the beautiful irony. The message is projecting through the source it attacks

[@eslyter1]

easily one of the best live performances i've ever seen.

[@BondsTakesRoids]

Jim James.. what an incredible musician

[@STEVeUNIX]

Outstanding. Can't wait to see him at Bonnaroo.

[@shamamandal5223]

This song suits the Blacklist so well. I love the show and I love this song. Can't wait for the new episode and to hear all th good music in it.

[@bigbluebraintrust3194]

My morning jacket lite?..no ..there really great ..the lady bassist is very professional..solid Jim James lineup..

[@bigbluebraintrust3194]

[@faunwillow]

Couple years late, but this song gives me chills. Yes. Watcha gonna do when d lights go out. ❤

[@EricSchnare]

That was bloody brilliant.

[@8-BitHeart79]

It has been a long time since I have been able to feel this way about a band of musicians...I would say since the first time I heard Led or Hendrix as a young lad is comparable! He started singing and the hair and skin on my arms and neck rose as if to say, "THIS, is ART and don't you fucking forget it!"

[@krazykrysta1965]

Thanks to "The Blacklist", I am obsessed with this song. Good show too; I love anything with James Spader!!!!

[@mariejohn1088]

You best make it to the end children. Go all the way

[@jeanroberts806]

[@ElephantsAreAfraidofBees]

I have the chills. That was RIGODDAMNDICULOUS.

[@BennyOcean]

He's great. Also the former lead singer of My Morning Jacket. If you're not familiar with their work, look them up and thank me later.

[@oldscratchful]

[@c.theodorelang7333]

According to tunefind.com this song State of the Art (A.E.I.O.U.) by Jim James, was at
the end of the episode when Sherlock talks to the real killer and with him at the gym boxing.

[@MrsFabulizz]

[@paulwallpd]

ok

[@sloopjonboswell]

at least Louisville has something going for it.

[@StrongHeartLives]

I certainly did sleep with the internet on the first date. Like Jim James said, we did take it too fast and are locked into a marriage of supposed convenience. .

[@sansjunior5137]

Ditto on The Blacklist.

[@dillsnufus]

if you want me to subscribe post more Jim videos.

[@jaydza7615]

im here because of The Blacklist

[@youreveningcoat]

It was kinda rude, but I don't think it could be said they "Haven't done anything for a while"
