Kevin pulls exactly one masterpiece out of each album. On Brother's Blood it was Bag of Bones. On Concrete & Clouds, it's this. When the man gets it right, he gets it real fucking right.
I once went to one of his shows in 2006 and he was selling CDs for 12 bucks. I only had a twenty, so I asked him if he would consider 2 CDs for 20. He replied "no I can't, I'm on the road most of the year and can't afford to make deals like that". I ended up buying one album and I've been a fan ever since.
Since Everybody lackin on posting lyrics, ill just have to I thought I was in love It felt like it from close up But someplace to spill my blood Was all it ever was I felt I was in debt Each night spent in your bed A dream I let drop dead And never had again You were the moon held high You broke black with your clean light You're words I can't say right Anytime I try You said, "Sing from your joy! You sound bored, you sound annoyed You can't keep what you did not have; Can't even give it back So go, write from your spine Tell the truth and you'll be fine So what if your truth's just another lie? No one seems to mind." These sour grapes when the joke goes bad This same smirk, same bullshit laugh The egg on my face when I can't go back I didn't plan for that
Just missed saying happy 11-17 yesterday! Anyways, happy 11-17 Day, belated! Me and my buddy text each other every 11-17 saying this lol. One of my favorite KD songs - so beautiful.
His voice on the "sour grapes and the joke goes bad" wish he would put more of that in his music. Still love his music its all i listen to besides bad books
in love with the song, i play a bit of piano but i am rubbish at working things out by ear on it, are there any musical people out there who know what chords the piano part uses? many thanks.
It's when he wrote it originally. 11.17.10, you can find it posted somewhere on his Facebook, it's how he usually titled his new songs before anything else official.
I can't even begin to describe what his voice does to me. But, I don't want him to have my babies (I don't want babies), though it'd be nice to have him.
Kevin devine: the one artist where I find I prefer live versions of his songs to studio recorded ones.
I love coming back to this video once every year or so, it truly sounds the best in this recording.
Can we make 11-17 National Kevin Devine Day? Like, officially?
It’s all I listen to all day every 11-17
Yes

Brothers Blood the song is a masterpiece also.
This is spot on. Cotton crush is the hit on split the country
I'd argue he has more than one an album
I found this years ago and it still gives me goosebumps it's so beautiful! I play it frequently..
Today is a great day to hear this. 11-17 on 11-17
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard
My birthday. Love this song
I just listened to this like 15 times in a row... so sick, especially because it's live
I love Kevin so much. Got me through a lot of good and bad times.
This is one of those songs you love immediately for knowing someone else hurt the same way, and yet also hate for the same reason.
Happy 11-17-20 yall.

such a beautiful man with such a beautiful voice
I love how he asks at the end if she's okay. I wouldn't be. I'd be in tears. haha
have a feeling she probably was
Just awesome and beautiful, music, lyrics, performance, arrangement. Love it!
My god. I can't get a grip when listening to this song. Just wow.
Kevin Dvine never stop's amazing me. He always seems to top himself with each album and every song. This collaboration is absolutely beautiful.
These words they get me everytime..The music is beautiful
wish it sounded like this on the album
Happy 11 17 again...
Since Everybody lackin on posting lyrics, ill just have to
I thought I was in love
It felt like it from close up
But someplace to spill my blood
Was all it ever was
I felt I was in debt
Each night spent in your bed
A dream I let drop dead
And never had again
You were the moon held high
You broke black with your clean light
You're words I can't say right
Anytime I try
You said, "Sing from your joy!
You sound bored, you sound annoyed
You can't keep what you did not have;
Can't even give it back
So go, write from your spine
Tell the truth and you'll be fine
So what if your truth's just another lie?
No one seems to mind."
These sour grapes when the joke goes bad
This same smirk, same bullshit laugh
The egg on my face when I can't go back
I didn't plan for that
Don't understand how more people don't know about him. So great.
This is amazing. Had this song on repeat this evening.
Dear Kevin thank you !
he actually does things like that a lot, its just usually when he's playing it live. but i feel you. gives me chills.
The best day of the year
i have no words to describe how much i love this
Pure emotion is the art in this song, great colab guys.
Just missed saying happy 11-17 yesterday! Anyways, happy 11-17 Day, belated! Me and my buddy text each other every 11-17 saying this lol. One of my favorite KD songs - so beautiful.
... HOLY FAUCK. I knew I die-hard adored this man for a reason.
Beautiful song! Thank you..
Thanks for posting
Outstanding. Kevin is just too great.
I've love KD since Ballgame. But this recording really did a new thing for me with him. This is his most underrated song in my opinion.
Powerful stuff!
Awesome video bro!
I like this version as much as the album version!
Beyond perfect...
His voice on the "sour grapes and the joke goes bad" wish he would put more of that in his music. Still love his music its all i listen to besides bad books
beautiful
this song is awesome
Wow...... see you in Bristol Kevin !!!
it's here!
Better than the album version. Kevin Devine is amazing.
incredible, great tune...wheres that very faint bass in the beginning coming from
You were the moon held high,Broke black with your clean light,You words i can't say right,Anytime I try
I think the bass in the beginning is just bleed coming from the control room. Apparently they were mixing Kevin's album in there at the time.
this is fucking epic, and good choice with the sm7b mic !!
Why doesn't he do that switch to the higher octave (at 3:15) on BTCAC? It is so amazing.
Man. Whatever it is, you got it.
Yes. Yes he does!
Music and magic. :)
reminded me of that dashboard confessional song... "ghost of a good thing"
Happy 11-17!!!!!!
I can't even begin to describe what his voice does to me.
I don't want him to have my babies, but it'd be nice to have him.
Miles above the album version
❤
in love with the song, i play a bit of piano but i am rubbish at working things out by ear on it, are there any musical people out there who know what chords the piano part uses? many thanks.
Can this recording pls be made available on streaming services?
@bearsafetyus theyre on his new record
You were the moon held high
Broke black with your clean light.
Better than the album version.
Well I know what I'm playing on 11-17-18
Morgan Kibby from M83 and White Sea.
good melllow song
So why is this called 11-17? A reference to a date, or to the time?
It's when he wrote it originally. 11.17.10, you can find it posted somewhere on his Facebook, it's how he usually titled his new songs before anything else official.
anybody notice kevin giving the rude finger at 1:33? cheeky boy.
I can't even begin to describe what his voice does to me.
But, I don't want him to have my babies (I don't want babies), though it'd be nice to have him.
I can't find the other ones from this session on youtube. Anyone know where they are?
11-17 yet again MFs.
no one seems to mind
What if the "truth" was another lie? Well no one seems to mind.
In my opinion, almost all his songs sound better acoustic!
piano chords to this would be nice and all
wish i knew the girls name
When you have alcohol and money and God
who is Hutch?
If you ask to see my soul I’ll show my body …husband? Jesus
