In Lane Boy they talk about how you shouldnt trust a song thats flawless. From a musical stand point this version of the song was a wreck. Missed notes, yelling off key, and obviously not planned well. But, when you take a step back and really think about the lyrics "Dont trust a song thats flawless" it really makes sense. Most artists walk on stage and play their song perfectly. And to them that is fine. But to Tyler and Josh, its not. The fact that he did miss those notes, that he did yell off key, and that it wasnt planned well made it a masterpiece. They showed the true side of preforming. That you dont have to be lifeless on stage, but instead to play like you are going through the worst time in your life and play with emotion. This is why Twenty One Pilots is the best band.

When Tyler looks into the camera while saying, "You think twice about your life, it  probably happens at night, right?" I tear up a lil bit because it's kinda like he knows what we're all feeling when we hear the song and it's like we're not alone.

I love how Tyler gets so into it hes literally like jumping in his seat xD

When josh does the ting ting ting on the symbol like if you agree

Most bands would never do most of the things they do. Other bands wouldn't smash the keys of the keyboard in the middle of their songs or incorporate rap ukulele piano drums screaming and singing into one song or shake while performing. Other bands have this image they try to maintain where they're cool and perfect and everything they do is really clean cut. There's nothing wrong with that but this band just has this element of real ness in their music. They don't want you to think they're cool. I've never connected with music as much as I do when I watch these guys perform. It feels like I know them when I watch them perform. They pour themselves into their music. It's amazing to watch. |-/

When I play piano, I'm like Tyler. I bounce to keep beat and such. Tyler is such an inspiration.

Josh inspired me too. I want to play drums like him. I like how free he looks playing the drums.

These boys helped saved my life. They are an inspiration, they are precious and we just need to protect them at all times.

This was the most intense acoustic version of a song I've heard yet. 

[ElyciusM]

I wish I could just scream and it would sound so amazing like how he was doing. HOW DOES HE MAKE IT SOUND SO GOOD???

[peachy.kate.]

Tyler Joseph is literally the only person who can randomly slam piano keys in the middle of a performance and still make it sound fucking amazing <3

[whyello]

i've never witnessed anyone like tyler joseph. he becomes one with the music, it takes him over. it is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen, and I'm so blessed to have it as a part of my life. thank you, tyler. thank you, skeleton clique. thank you, twenty one pilots.

This band has saved my life. Like if they have saved yours as well

im 40, grew up in the 80's n 90's.. music was all the same and boring. drummers sat in the back and lyrics were about girls and drinking and partying.  this band has blown me away, who needs drum machines when ur drummer can bang like that? and the lyrics are from the soul..this is the new path of music. I promise you it wont be the same after these 2 blow up. love u guys cant wait to see u live, never stop pouring out your feelings on that stage....the ug studios songs are epic.

[mayatoll]

One of my favorite things about their live versions is that Tyler will throw in these little improvisations and josh will just roll with it and they still both know what they're doiing and it still sounds good. I love this band |-/

[Patrick-xlvv]

I really hope they go far in their carreer. The lyrics are have such deep meaning, unlike most of the popular music of today.

I'm 60 and these two guys from Columbus ohio kill me. I think Tyler Joseph is a budding genius. I have tickets to see them in NJ next moths and can't wait. Long live 21 pilots

[lxlighty]

This. Is. The. Best. Thing. I've. Ever. Seen.

[niahonfiah]

I tear up listening to all of their UG studio sessions because Tyler looks like he's holding back tears and he puts so much emotion into the music. I really love twenty one pilots.

[hh-vong]
