As a person raised by metal, Ben made it okay for me to feel something that wasn't anger and rage. He made something of his thoughts and I made it out of bed.

Cath is such a great song. Also nice to see that a guy who pens the saddest lyrics knows how to smile.✌️

[DirtCheapFU]

Can't get enough of his live sets. I almost got to meet him. Chris Walla made a latenight order at the hotel I was doing overnight audit. Ran it up. And I wanted to thrash my co-workers because no one knew them. They knew his songs. But I'm half-freaking out, "I'm the black guy here. They're a big deal". I hope Ben Gibbard re-taps some All-Time Quarterback songs some day.

Ben’s diction and use of mic range is wizard level.

[MourningCoffeeMusic]

This version of Cath gave me chills.
My god.

[marcskaug]

Cath is a master class in songwriting and performance. Purity and grace.

[bluebirdbeetle]

They need to do a "Best of" album, re-recorded into studio-acoustic versions... Please? 🙏

[heedles]

I never realized but Ben's speaking voice sounds like he's a long lost Green brother. Great to see he's still out making music, nice to hear his voice on the radio station again.

This band has always made me feel a lot of things.

Ben Gibbard singing Neil Finn. A perfect moment in time.

One of those strange juxtapositions that, while it’s essential to realize the importance of letting go in life, Ben’s livestreams during COVID became something very dear to hold on to.

[tylernewcomb]

This dude's really crying out for what every human heart longs for. A genuine connection to their Maker! It's really seems quite the heart when he's singing "Here to Forever."

[daldladla]

It's excellent to still have you folks here keeping the spirit of great music alive.

[martyr]

One of the best song-writers of all time

[RafaelBernatto]

I gave this video a like even before it started playing 😂

[hockey]

GOD this makes me miss his Covid sessions.

17:38 I will possess your heart is such a great song. It’s the almost 5 minutes of opening instrumentals that sets up the intro and makes the song so effective and mesmerizing and its so interesting hearing Ben talk about being able to have that musical freedom

[ThisIsDownstate]

if anyone is to be called a lyrical genius, its Ben Gibbard. Such a poet and writes such beautiful melodies. Cheers for all the music Ben !
