big props to the director and the production team for making these live videos compliment his sound perfectly… it’s like a reimagining of what a live performance video can be and it’s super beautiful
There are many artists out there, undiscovered by the majority, that are 'generational talent'. The only difference between Mk.gee and such artists are rhat he was able to break through the attention economy. Music is a commodity, mainstream ""content"" is simply repeating a repeat of a repeat of someone else's influence, and art for art's sake remains underground. In case you didn't read, I love Mk.gee. Straight up. Still, I believe this type of comment is nothing but blind fanaticism. I'm sure there's equally as much 'generational talent' in underground scenes or even international scenes. Hell, Mk.gee's music is heavily indebted to Black musical roots. I'm sure there's cool POC musicians out there doing stuff as nice as Mk.gee. Don't ask me who bc I don't know, I have a life.
That’s not a thing. No one, anywhere, ever, has used those words to describe anything. Certainly not a RUclips commenter. It’s as absurd as reading _“Don’t forget about the background singers! They were electric!!”_ No one describes anything as “electric.” The problem is that the robots were programmed by morons.
These live versions really carry the energy and sounds he brings to his actual shows. Nice treat for folks that missed his tour, they put you right in the room with him. Hell yeah Mike.
I'm old - past 50 - I touch guitars, but this gives me goosebumps. It's 'post' everything though - how can you not be these days - but he does create a new thing here. I like it. It's not really new, but the combination of his distinctive timbre and the guitar voicings move me. Every time you think the guitar is on the way out, there's a kid like this who tells you to eff off.
I wanted to say that the last thing his music needs is a token of appreciation of these out of touch, self serving, gatekeeping assholes, but I realized that would shoot him into the mainstream
The amount of planning, practice, and preparation that goes into something that feels so effortless doesn't go unnoticed with his music and these visuals that accompany them. Just genuine greatness.
My father is 84 and played classical music his entire life plays the clarinet and several other instruments. I never show him music because I’m a die hard indie and hip hop fan and being born in 1942 it doesnt hit the spot. But I HAD TO share this with him - I wanted him to feel the same feeling.
I love how the lyrics convey this feeling of almost accepting a situation but not being fully satisfied but the way hes singing them sounds angry and almost confused.
@@hydrel5318 I don't wanna make you feel bad there's just a lotta mean people out there that would insult you or sum shit just so you know that's not a clarinet it's a soprano sax have a great day take care
omggg fr??? i’m only on like ep 3 omg kinda wish i would’ve experienced the full shock of that mic drop in the show but that’s so cool 😫 lemme go finish the season chile
I cant express how much I love this somg and nothing compares to this live version he is the best artist of our generation I love him as an artist so much
He is SO talented. And this song is AMAZING. I heard this, initially not even knowing who he was or what the lyrics said… I am SO glad i did a deep dive 🙏🏾 So freaking deep. I love that. Enjoying all his songs, especially live… going to see him on Tuesday .
Just bought 4 tix to the Sept 8 show. I only discovered this brilliant mage a week ago, and now I am committed to a cross-state road trip with 3 friends. What the ever-loving EFF.

These live recordings need their own album
OMG YES! I’ve been thinking the same, I wanna be able to stream them all together and not on RUclips
yes. yesy ye yes yes ys4e. yes and yes
I been sayinggg!
FACTS!😮💨
For real, I actually prefer these quite a bit over the studio album.
he finally made it off the bus
😅
😂😂😂
Top comment !
😂😂😂
BAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA
does anybody else feel like it is a moral obligation to share this man with everyone you know?
Yes and No, he's too precious for some people 😅
yes but most don't get it. Need cooler friends
Played the new album on repeat until my wife asked "....who is this?" Now we're seeing him together in Melbourne :D
Yes.. you called it
@@evadermusic heeey same!!
There’s flow state and then there’s whatever this current Mk.gee run is. He’s truly on another planet, his guitar seems sentient at this point
liminality
Never heard a guitar sound like that
Just getting started
Facts bro
The guitar is fully sentient🔥
We need a KEXP / Tiny Desk session of Mk.Gee
yah but it would have to be in the woods in a dark shipping container
ye a
PLEASE
But we have these lol
he has a colors performance if u want to check it out
mk.geeked out of my mind
Hell yeah brother
i’m so geeked
Beautifully said ❤
he makes the electric guitar truly sound ELECTRIC
Exactly!!!
and his voice too
big props to the director and the production team for making these live videos compliment his sound perfectly… it’s like a reimagining of what a live performance video can be and it’s super beautiful
That's exactly what deters me from appreciating him as an artist. It's sounds too manufacturer
@@foeshizzel bro you are deterring yourself from being cool ...
go watch dijon absolutely live. mkgee is in it
This man is a generational talent
Eh
How so? It's alright.

@@kaylons Ight so you agree he’s a generational talent 😂
@@smokey21980 not rly
mk.gee and dijon have mastered live performances god this is beautiful
Is it the same videographer as Dijon's movie also? Same style
@@menriquez89 its not but i wouldnt be surprised if they used dijons for inspiration
The definition of *"you can't touch music... but music can touch you"*
I can touch you 😈

Oh barf.

He’s going back out this fall brotha
I just saw him in Seattle 😍😍😍🙌🏾

51 here. I agree!
someone wake the academy up and give this kid all the grammys already
We need an album of year nomination at a minimum.
I wanted to say that the last thing his music needs is a token of appreciation of these out of touch, self serving, gatekeeping assholes, but I realized that would shoot him into the mainstream
Pay no attention to the academy. Without air, they will suffocate
I don't know what's going on here because I'm Gen Y, but this is the best thing I've seen in 20 years. Hope is restored.
I can’t be the only one that this makes you feel like you miss a person or place that doesn’t actually exist. Immense nostalgia for no reason.
that EXACT feeling, completely agree.
That's what he wanted to do. He'd be happy to read that ❤
Makes me miss Prince
The amount of planning, practice, and preparation that goes into something that feels so effortless doesn't go unnoticed with his music and these visuals that accompany them. Just genuine greatness.
This is pure art. I haven’t been this excited for a new musician in YEARS - holy crap!
Your parents/older family ever pulled up videos of different musicians that they went crazy over when they were younger? This is one of those for us
My father is 84 and played classical music his entire life plays the clarinet and several other instruments. I never show him music because I’m a die hard indie and hip hop fan and being born in 1942 it doesnt hit the spot. But I HAD TO share this with him - I wanted him to feel the same feeling.
As a guitarist, Mk.gee has simultaneously inspired me beyond belief and terrified the livivng fuck out of me.
Extremely relatable comment
oh my god, thank you for putting words to it
Ditto
Like a Gen Z Blake Mills combined with a Jaco
Exactly. It makes me realize music this good exists but also reminds me I'll never be this good
I love how the lyrics convey this feeling of almost accepting a situation but not being fully satisfied but the way hes singing them sounds angry and almost confused.
“don’t you wanna to get a move on”
absolutely not, this will be on repeat for the foreseeable future
Bricked up beyond belief
🤨📸
(Same)
mk.nation eating so good thank you fr
Playing those riffs while singing is actually insane.
The cinema style level this video is insane. Everything is so perfect
Nostalgic grunge honesty and a succulent tone. Please stick around Mk.gee
first man to really make me understand what music is truly about
faxxx
Damn the switch between the incandescent lights to the fluorescents hit so hard
an artist who actually makes me FEEL music again, couldn’t ask for more.
Happened across this and the whole world just stopped. This isn’t a song. It part of the soundtrack to your soul.
I’ve never responded to an artist like this before. He’s incredible.
Those lives versions are always so good
This is what melancholy and nostalgia sound like.
We 👏 need 👏 a 👏 live 👏 album 👏
Preferably with the kimmel version of are you looking up. That clarinet ❤️👌
It’s coming no doubt

@@jonii5739whatever the fuck it is I need it inside of me and on Spotify right now.
1:09 this is a momentum of the entrance of the drums in the video… thank you Mk.gee for making happening
His voice is so raw ughhh
this song at shows is otherworldly. mk.gee fans knowing all the lyrics and just belting their hearts out… the best
Him and Dijon are building their own cinematic universe. This is a Special run
this man is singlehandedly altering the future of music and we are here to witness it wow
Bon Iver - Perth reminiscences everywhere
Amazing!
This guy is amazingly talented. Everything he touches is gold.
I love this more than the studio version, he’s such a good live performer
One of the best songs ever.
If not the best in my humble opinion
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard something this good.
1:56 THE WAY HE LAUGHS AND THEN SAYS “shut your mouth, i only really want you” 🧎♀️🧎♀️
The best part
If mk.gee ever ran for president I’m voting
finding this = coming back to this every two weeks for a soul cleanse
I’m so happy this guy exists! What a treat.I’m hearing a bit of Prince influence in some of his songs I think. Either way, he’s gained a new fan.
full body chills, this is some next level artistry right here. my GOD.
hearing this live was crazyyyy and the way the crowd knew the song word for word 😩😩😩😩😩
bro needs to restock the vinyl‼️‼️
YES VINYL RESTOCK PLEEEEAAASE!
That lil guitar run over those few lines is lightning in a bottle
Your guitar tone makes me feel like I'm slipping on ice and I love it.
*The acoustics of it all make it sound beautiful man.*
if i had his voice, i would be weeping with joy despite sad days
Hearing this as the encore for the Toronto show back in May forever altered my brain chemistry
I have this song on repeat it reminds me of 70 rock & rock definitely a fan this is so dope
Thanks, Mike. It’s wonderful.
And a big shout out to the entire video team. None of you are missing! Hit after hit!
My god the last minute of this song is played so beautifully
AWW MAN. I just saw him on the TV box. I missed the world tour! 😭
This is why he’s one of my favorite artists. Absolutely stunning
this has changed my life
seeing this drop and then hearing Are You Looking Up in Ep 9 of The Bear was everything i needed to make this the best Friday ever
omggg fr??? i’m only on like ep 3 omg kinda wish i would’ve experienced the full shock of that mic drop in the show but that’s so cool 😫 lemme go finish the season chile
The way he edges the guitar 'til it sneezes you can tell it feels so good.
This is the best way to explain it lol
He smacked his guitar as soon as I read this comment and I giggled a lil
The cinematic fluid vibe, unique tones, this man’s got it
man i love this man’s art and i hope you keep reaching thousands and millions of new ears
I’ve never been so impacted by an album in my entire life.
0:33 ascended
The sounds of pure love for the art can be heard in every lyric..such a wonderful talent.
One star is Mike, the other star is the guitar. Two souls bound together for infinity 💫
On Friday the 13th of 2024 I discovered this man's music and nothing hasn't been the same ever since. I am happy we're off the bus finally 🎉
He is absolute perfection. I relate to every lyric
I cant express how much I love this somg and nothing compares to this live version he is the best artist of our generation I love him as an artist so much
He is SO talented. And this song is AMAZING.

jesus christ how am i just now finding out about him
The emotion that comes out of this kid is remarkable.
Thank you mike you made me love music so much again
this is really what perfection sounds like. I want to see mk.gee so bad
everyone say: "Thank you mk.gee"
He makes the guitar sound alive. Like its own sentient being
Hands down my favorite song from the album. Glad to finally get the live version of Alesis!
BEST VERSION, the sound is great.
i can’t get away from this video bro 😭
Love when he’s got the light in front of him, just like Kurt at live at the paramount.
i love my 80s rackmount alesis reverb, too.
This song means so incredibly much to me, thanks for making it
PLSSSSS put this & are u looking up live on spotify i’m on my knees begging
Greatest live performance ever!
I believe this live, raw sounding video is the direction many artist should go in the future. 😊
Oh man that tone... incredible!
I’d be lying if I said this didn’t make me tear up.
the lighting temperature switch and the vintage new sound is on another level.
I'm in another body
Whose in somebody else
Both of the headless and heartless
Dancing with themselves, oh yeah
You're not a poet, you're a liar
I'm not a liar, I'm just high
Why be me who's caught inside
Two people I don't even like, huh-huh
Why me, or better, why you?
When we can fake it like any way we want to
Why bleed when we don't have to?
Yeah, just shut your mouth, I only really want you
Are you holding on?
Don't you wanna get a move on?
Escapism so easily
When we don't have the money to be
Healthily gettin' out of here (whoa)
Don't you wanna get a move on?
I'm in another body
Whose in somebody else
While you're turning over the whole apartment
Looking for something else
Did you find it?
Did you find it?
Leave it to me to kick the door, huh-huh
Did you find it?
Oh, did you find it?
Oh, are you feeling that good when you found it
Why me, or better, why you?
When we can fake it like any way we want to
Why bleed when we don't have to?
Yeah, just shut your mouth, I only really want you
Are you holding on?
Don't you wanna get a move on?

Don't you wanna get a move on? (Oh)

My heart just exploded?
This is the fresh take and heart I needed. Thank you.
