Best "acoustic" version I have seen yet live.

Sirius: "guys we asked for acoustic"


Guys: "tha... that was acoustic..."

[christopherbickhart]

Love that the singer has a 10 Years shirt. Very underrated band.

Listening to the album I always thought that the strange vibrato was the result of an auto-tune or other pitch-bending effects plug-in.... I would have NEVER guessed that it's from Jonny physically touching his throat with his hand. Now THAT is genius! I love it! 

[valeriavaldez]

Bassist could hold his own solo scene. Incredible band.🥺🥺🥺🥺

[psychoshrink]

Did...i just fall in love with a whole band?

[jueshua]

The way he incorporates his fingers into his vocal waves is NEXT LEVEL

[suepieters]

This song and this version never get old. I watch this regularly

[alilia]

I have never seen someone rock an acoustic performance this hard...

[VikingDudee]

Holy crap, I never seen a acoustic version as good as the original!

[alexre]

This band is unbelievable Unique and highly underrated

[bundzmykhailo]

When bassist sings better than many singers.

[therealtebek]

Is he seriously whammying his throat? That's badass

[spencergrady]

When the backup singers are just as freaking talented as the lead singer..

Consider this your Monday afternoon wake-up.

When did we become these sinking stones?
When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to grip our brothers' throats

I'm... at the bottom of the ocean floor
Eye for eye
I'm drowning just to keep score
Blaming the world outside ourselves
Surrounded by mirrors in a sinking ship

When did we become these sinking stones?
When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to grip our brothers' throats

You can't see because you don't know
You're caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score

We always start with good intentions
But lose ourselves along the way

This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind

Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves
Bitter blood builds our prison cell
Darker water now fills our lungs
The depths of our heart have blacked the sun

You can't see because you don't know
You're caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score

We always start with good intentions
But lose ourselves along the way

This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind

Naked we come, naked we leave
Fools we are, to hold tightly
We are free, we are free
We are the jail, we are the key [2x]

This is the time that we let it go
Yeah, these are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we just open our eyes

This is the time that we let it go
This is the pain we are forced to know
Singing the song that's inside, inside us all, inside us all

Walking blind

Jonny Hawkins is a freaking beast with his vocals! Seen Nothing More live 2 weeks ago in Louisiana. The whole band puts on an amazing live show! You can tell in this video how adrenalized and energetic he is. If that was a stage he would be all over it. Sadly he is caged in on this video.. If you want to see an amazing performance look at some live videos! They also have some amazing backup vocals. Kudos to the band, You guys are amazing!

For some reason I like this song even more as an "unplugged" style of song. And that's saying a lot because I already REALLY liked BALLAST as it was. Nothing More must be under a lot of pressure to produce a kick butt follow-up album. I really think that they are one of the most unique sounding new bands to hit the scene in the past handful of years.

[caitlinslingerland]

did anyone else try that throat thing after watching this? I had to!
