It's so funny that these two dudes are in front of a wall of amps and electric guitars and they're making such magic with an acoustic, a piano, and two vocals. That's Manchester...can melt your face off and then make you cry. Sometimes in the same song!
It's always amazing to me that these songwriters and musicians start with such bones...and then it flourishes into some album/radio play. Truth is, I prefer the raw acoustic the best.
In my opinion, probably the greatest band that I've heard in my 50 years of life. Thank you for doing what you do. Some of us appreciate it more than you could possibly know.
I just want to tell you how thankful for I am for how much of my life you've gotten me through. At the end of the day, please remember you've made so much more than music for so many of us over the years. Thank you for another beautiful rendition. Never. Stop. Making. Music.
One of the best bands out there, love your music so much!!!! Greetings and blessings from South Africa, not the country of origin matters but just want you to know you have support from all over the globe!! :D Such an amazing song!
This song makes me extremely sad. Not because the song itself is sad, but because, if I live 100 lifetimes, I'll never create something this beautiful and perfect.
Heard this first on Comedy Bang Bang. Not what I was expecting from a comedy podcast , but not disappointed in the slightest. Had to find them to hear it again.
Man, this song is just perfect. Thank you. 400,000 views and only 350 comments... I think that says a lot. This song is astonishing and leaving people dumbfounded without much to say.
my word, loved the first version I heard but that acoustic intimacy really haunts me with this song. Thank you so much for your efforts from a fan in the UK.
It all started with "Everything to Nothing" about 10-15 years ago and here I am still waking up with a "Bedhead"! I never get tired of the Manchester.. just keep listening.
I LIBERALLY don't know what I would do without Andy Hull and Manchester Orchestra in my life. His music has enriched my life so much that there would be a huge void without it.
Lyrics : Arguing with the dead I'm not alone but it sure feels like someone left Deaf notes and talking heads Carrying on your debt Blood on the bed head and volumes you left unsaid Let 'em talk and let it habit, now I'm afraid you're alone Oh my God Let me relinquish and start to distinguish My past, and my time You and I are holy fire, so Oh my God Let me extinguish the habit The sequence, the loss, in my mind Now I believe in the ghost Ghost Crawling against your skin Clutching my neck said, "It's all supposed to end like this" You and I are panoramic Now I'm afraid of the ghost Oh my God Let me relinquish and start to distinguish My past, and my time There is only love and fire, so Oh my God Let me extinguish the habit The sequence, the loss, in my mind Now I believe in the- Right by the entrance, you broke Finally, reality's taking its hold You're not who you were, but you can't let it go You're not where you're from, but you're always alone So I stick a flag in the ground I think I know who I'm living for now I am what I am, same above as the ground It's not what I want, but I'm figuring it out Oh my God Let me relinquish and start to distinguish My past, and my time You and I are holy fire, so Oh my God Let me extinguish the habit The sequence, the loss, in my mind Now I believe in the ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost He was teasing around the town and cried, "Wolf, wolf!" Everybody came to help, but there was no wolf
How powerful. I broke at the entrance. I believe in the ghost. How deeply this connects to me. In profound ways. Truly a masterpiece. I treasure this band. I am so glad that I have my picture with Andy because his words he sings strike a chord in me Everytime.
Gotta give it up for Andy's commitment to the song 👏👏... He obviously rolled out of bed, palmed his hair back just enough to tame with a tight rubber-band! Well played sir! All jokes aside, this band (like a good book) found me 6 months ago and since then I've been blown away weekly by yet another unheard, new find! Very grateful to be here! (I WAS a fan, but now I'm pretty much an air conditioner!! I had to sneak one more in there 😂) Freaking beautiful song!! 💓💓💓
Thank You so much for this version. It leads to an extended understanding of this great song. Sorry for my poor English . In German I could explain it much better ❤️😂🙋🏻♂️
I never thought the band that I saw back in 2006 with brand new and Kevin Devine was capable of something so hauntingly beautiful. You guys are absolutely incredible.
This has been my song that I play the most every year. I know this to be true because every year apple music tells me. I suppose it speaks truth to my heart, I see myself in this song and in doing so this song brings me comfort. Manchester Orchestra for every song you build I am thankful.
MO and TOP (albeit not my usual alternative rock reference) are probably the greatest modern bands. They both seem to be aware of from whom their gifts were given them, as well. But yeah, it's rare nowadays for a band's live and acoustic quality to be equal or better than the studio version, and for me to like almost all of their work and have several favorites I jam out to. LoL. Kudos.
@@kennygee83 Twenty One Pilots. Not my usual style, except for their more acoustic songs like Judge. But they have obvious talent and catchiness. Clever lyrics, multiple instruments and many songs have a variety of different sounds from the vocals and instruments, plus the live / acoustic sound at times matching their studio sound. Manchester is more my preferred style, but they are probably the two newest bands that I encountered (a few years ago) and considered to be beyond other modern music. Hehe.
@@revera89 100% agree there. My three would include Thrice in the mix though. Everything from the Alchemy Index etc all fantastic, including their more modern stuff.
The Million Masks of God is proof that there are still great bands making great music even this long into their careers. No new albums or artists have gripped me in the last 3 or 4 years but I can’t stop listening to this one. Killer LP! Hopefully when the dust settles you guys can come down to Melbourne for a show or 2 👌🤞
Was excited to potentially hear an "April Fools special: Manchester Orchestra covers the greats of Uncle Kracker" - but actually getting an acoustic version of Bed Head is good too.
Excellent! Fired up youtube because bedhead was playing in my head, from a listen a day ago... just did the studio then accustic back to back. Think I'll do another lap.... Thank you for the Excellent music, to this day!!! Been a fan for years!
It's so funny that these two dudes are in front of a wall of amps and electric guitars and they're making such magic with an acoustic, a piano, and two vocals. That's Manchester...can melt your face off and then make you cry. Sometimes in the same song!
It's not funny...
THANK GOD IT'S TRUE AND BEST..
It's always amazing to me that these songwriters and musicians start with such bones...and then it flourishes into some album/radio play. Truth is, I prefer the raw acoustic the best.
@Keegan Handley not necessarily in that order for me, but I agree 110 percent
Enfin des extras terrestres dans le son. ❤ la "touche" unique .. bon baisers de France.
There aren't many perfect comments on RUclips, but yours is one of the few.
Does anyone else prefer the acoustic version? 👌
Andy Hull is an absolute musical genius. He will be appreciated long after we're gone.
He better be
The whole band is so talented. Been listening to their podcast and I’m so impressed with everyones artistry and musicality.
@@taylorerickson4711 they have a podcast?
@@taylorerickson4711 which podcast? I would love to listen it❤️
Sandrush it’s on their patreon - not free unfortunately but i think it’s well worth it for all the extra content imo!
That falsetto for "ghost" is something special.
Total goosebumps
I juju every one 8AM and
Now that weirdo with a beardo Andy is back, it's scientifically more enjoyable when he makes such beautiful noises
sooo clean
…one of my most favorite parts of the song💜
In my opinion, probably the greatest band that I've heard in my 50 years of life. Thank you for doing what you do. Some of us appreciate it more than you could possibly know.
Acoustic Manchester is my favorite Manchester tbh. Thank you 🙏
Beautiful isn't it. Wow!
yes agree
On one hand I agree totally...
On the other, I don't think we appreciate the acoustic version as much, unless there is a rock version...
Already an absolutely wonderful song but good god the acoustic version is haunting and gave me the goosebumps.
That's God calling you.
Can’t get this song out of my head, and I’m okay with it!!
one of my fav new bands .... amazing talent .. and i'm a 65 year old who grew up with 60's and 70's Legends
Thanks for being around, Andy. You don’t know how much we need this.
I turned 45 today and this song came on while I was in traffic. I proceeded to cry a good, cathartic cry. I love how they make me feel my feels.
I woke up this morning an saw the notification and almost cried. I cannot wait for this drop
I just want to tell you how thankful for I am for how much of my life you've gotten me through. At the end of the day, please remember you've made so much more than music for so many of us over the years. Thank you for another beautiful rendition. Never. Stop. Making. Music.
Ditto
I feel the same way. Powerful and soul opening
This man’s voice is so amazing & their music speaks to you. I love this band ❤
And i thought this song couldn’t get more beautiful ❤️ such a masterpiece
Same.
I feel like I’m late to the party…. So glad I made it
One of the best bands out there, love your music so much!!!! Greetings and blessings from South Africa, not the country of origin matters but just want you to know you have support from all over the globe!! :D Such an amazing song!
hello! :) thanks for commenting
This song makes me extremely sad. Not because the song itself is sad, but because, if I live 100 lifetimes, I'll never create something this beautiful and perfect.
His voice makes me cry. The pipes of an angel.
Heard this first on Comedy Bang Bang. Not what I was expecting from a comedy podcast , but not disappointed in the slightest. Had to find them to hear it again.
So mesmerizing. Amazing. I haven’t felt this kind of feeling in a LONG time.
Man, this song is just perfect. Thank you.

Einfach überragend ❤❤❤die Stimme einfach zum schmelzen
Ich bin eine jennifer berg, portland, oregon. How viest du? Ich bin sehr gut!
Love u guys
Such an incredible version, first time I've heard it.
This dude was born to sing... It would be a tragedy not to share his gift with the world..
my word, loved the first version I heard but that acoustic intimacy really haunts me with this song. Thank you so much for your efforts from a fan in the UK.
Absolutely love this band! They touch my soul, and bring me to tears. Angels
I can't stop crying since I saw them 2 weeks ago. It's overwhelming and speaks to my soul. ❤
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Goddamn I'm so ready for the new album
Me too! So so ready. ❤
I'm here from the future and the album is fucking phenomenal.
This Album will make this year good❤ Thank you for making so much easier in my life..
It all started with "Everything to Nothing" about 10-15 years ago and here I am still waking up with a "Bedhead"! I never get tired of the Manchester.. just keep listening.
Miss you Joe, love you.
I LIBERALLY don't know what I would do without Andy Hull and Manchester Orchestra in my life. His music has enriched my life so much that there would be a huge void without it.
"Oh, my God"... so many feelings and memories woke up instantly... simply wonderful!🥰
I really needed this today. A little patch to out on the soul
Love this! When done acoustically, this song has a very Radical Face vibe.
No lights can hold my eyes wishing i could find someone I've looked for.
NICE!
VERY NICE!!
Another work of Genius from Andy and friends.
Your songs makes me feel like my souls fly away to somewhere I been in my dreams just beautiful
One of the most infuential bands right now, brilliant!
Best band ever!!!!!❤
Lyrics :
Arguing with the dead
I'm not alone but it sure feels like someone left
Deaf notes and talking heads
Carrying on your debt
Blood on the bed head and volumes you left unsaid
Let 'em talk and let it habit, now I'm afraid you're alone
Oh my God
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish
My past, and my time
You and I are holy fire, so
Oh my God
Let me extinguish the habit
The sequence, the loss, in my mind
Now I believe in the ghost
Ghost
Crawling against your skin
Clutching my neck said, "It's all supposed to end like this"
You and I are panoramic
Now I'm afraid of the ghost
Oh my God
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish
My past, and my time
There is only love and fire, so
Oh my God
Let me extinguish the habit
The sequence, the loss, in my mind
Now I believe in the-
Right by the entrance, you broke
Finally, reality's taking its hold
You're not who you were, but you can't let it go
You're not where you're from, but you're always alone
So I stick a flag in the ground
I think I know who I'm living for now
I am what I am, same above as the ground
It's not what I want, but I'm figuring it out
Oh my God
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish
My past, and my time
You and I are holy fire, so
Oh my God
Let me extinguish the habit
The sequence, the loss, in my mind
Now I believe in the ghost
Ghost
Ghost
Ghost
He was teasing around the town and cried, "Wolf, wolf!"
Everybody came to help, but there was no wolf
Chills! Man how do you guy just keep getting better. Such a great version
That falsetto will live rent free in my head for the next few weeks
Blewing over flowers laying in them too.
this version is so comfy
After a long day at work, my husband draws me a bath, I listen to you and smile. Keep it up boys!
Anybody else perplexed to find themselves here from Comedy Bang Bang of all places? Anyone?
The feelz R real...
The ice of suffering and pain.
The fire of being reborn into true love...
“OhhhhmyGod ... let me distinguish my past and my time”
🔥🔥🔥🔥
How powerful. I broke at the entrance. I believe in the ghost. How deeply this connects to me. In profound ways. Truly a masterpiece. I treasure this band. I am so glad that I have my picture with Andy because his words he sings strike a chord in me Everytime.
Gosh darn magic in my ears

Fucking incredible, nothing left to say. Super excited about the new album!

Oh my god. This album can’t come soon enough.
Haunting and beautiful all at the same time!!! Thank you for another beautiful moment!!!

So good! I love it! 💖💖💖💖
Beautiful 😭❤️
🥰🥰🥰 Never disappointed. Straight ear candy. I was sick with kidney issues when they came to my hometown Mobile Al. Still kicking myself
This is amazing. I wish they had this acoustic version on Spotify
Every single word that leaves your lips is like honey to the ears.
Beautiful 🙏🏻❤
Andy's voice is always so comforting ❤️❤️❤️
Oh My God… best, most heavenly song I’ve ever heard
I just can't stop listenning to this majestic song¡! Thank you a lot!
MO has such beautiful melodies and gorgeous lyrics. Can listen to them for hours.
This is so beautiful ❤️
Beautiful.Perfect.
So beautiful and gentle
Wow! Just wow!
❤ thank you for your beautiful music and words an sharing your life an heart with me an the ones who know. ❤
MO and TOP (albeit not my usual alternative rock reference) are probably the greatest modern bands. They both seem to be aware of from whom their gifts were given them, as well.

TOP?

In love with this song AND this version. Beautiful, gorgeous and amazing 🥰
Man, i only just found you guys. I'm really digging your music. Such a great sound, thank you!
Andy, I’m in tears. Thank you ❤
how deep is this song...beautifull melody!
I'm waiting this. Manchester Orchestra you are perfect
Absolute masterpiece, a genuine and true work of art x
Was excited to potentially hear an "April Fools special: Manchester Orchestra covers the greats of Uncle Kracker" - but actually getting an acoustic version of Bed Head is good too.
Ya'all's my new favorite band.
Bro why do these keep making me cry?
🎶Oh my God!!!🎶. Incredible!
A most excellent and beautiful band 😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶
Love the original, but this is over the top amazing, would love for it to be streaming on all the platforms. Thanks for sharing guys!!!!!
that's what they do. blow you away, then acoustic your bones to dust. it is beautiful.
Weltklasse es nimmt einen vom Alltag runter und gibt neue Impulse ❤
Andy is one of the best song writers of this generation!
Just waw out off this world this is music
Gracias por esta sensibilidad al cantar y expresar taaaaanto! Thank u!
I Love So Much Acoustic Version Of Manchester Orchestra ......One Of My Favorite Band
Excellent! Fired up youtube because bedhead was playing in my head, from a listen a day ago... just did the studio then accustic back to back. Think I'll do another lap.... Thank you for the Excellent music, to this day!!! Been a fan for years!
I've heard the acoustic version of this a couple times through the podcasts improv for humans and live at the comedy bang bang show, and it's so good.
Friggin magical
Loved this version! this is such an amazing song! So looking forward to this album...
