Pinegrove - Need 2 - Audiotree Live (1 of 8)

Pinegrove is a twangy indie band who fuse Americana, emo, and indie rock into an insightful finished product. Singer and lyricist Evan Hall is a contemplative, serene frontman who possesses an intimate relationship with and an expansive knowledge of the human language. He’s acutely aware of the human experience and manages to pen astute observations about self and circumstance with genuine wonder. Though sonically somber, there is a kinetic forward focus in Pinegrove’s sound that lifts up each unconventional arrangement and unfettered chorus.

that first "I'm out", nuts

[Kd-vtwi]

I've known about this song for years but only recently do I sadly shuffle when I listen to it

[sendcomfort]

Imagine your song blowing up 7+ years after originally making it

my takeaway: freely create, put yourself out there, and don't get discouraged for a minute if no one seems to care

[SeanRaine]

best version of this song...can't stop listening to it.

[adambard]

Why is this the best song I've ever heard

[bmstrr]

Back in the dust bowl my mom would sing this song to me before bed, while blowing dust off my forehead. Glad it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves!

[BigMansRambo]

Both versions are extremely tight, I love that everyone likes a version better than the other. That's what it's about, everyone's taste is different

[xedmrls]

It's like the song that plays when you're about to cross the afterlife and you're looking back to your greatest memories

[garyumstetter]

The lift in the guitar solo around 2:19 gets me every time. So perfect

[MaxibonHR]

This song makes me think “things can be better” every time I hear it. Life isn’t perfect. But you can get through whatever it is you’re going through. And you deserve to. You deserve to love and feel loved. It’s gonna be okay one day in the end. If it’s not okay it’s not the end.

currently doing the pinegrove shuffle while sobbing and throwing up bc this version of need 2 absolutely kills me

[AudibleVisibIe]

This has to be the best performance of this right? That tele sounds fuckin perfect. The tone feels so nostalgic, for lack of a better word

[bryantrudy]

This version is so fucking good. By far my favorite Pinegrove track.

[brockmcaffee]

God this is perfect. Look at their faces they feel this music so deeply and play with their souls. I also feel it so deeply thank you for this.

[HughMatsunaga]

Such simple lyrics paired with a resonating sound that evokes deep feelings. 10/10

[SallySandwich]

See the singer holding back from choking up a few times during that emotionally fulfilling performance...

Definitely the right type of song to write for themselves. Just a coincidence that everybody else thinks its dope too, music is something to give humanity meaning.

[Zmargo]

Officially my song of the decade on Spotify. Thank you first and foremost to Audiotree for the most amazing live shows and sound engineering arguably on the entire platform. Also, big thanks for Pinegrove just for making the music they make. Tons of inspiration from them and an overall greater appreciation of music. Thanks y’all <3

[stubbbbbs]

infinite complexity in simplicity. theme of pinegrove

[BsideArchive]

I'm so glad this version exists. The studio version is great but this is something extraordinarily special..

[chronicmango]

God damn that guitar solo is so friggin good. Can’t get enough of it.
