I've watched as many performances of "Brother's Blood" as I could find on RUclips with the hope that I'd find one I connected with enough to make me feel even half of the emotions that I felt seeing it performed live. This performance shattered me like a mirror and I think that's the closest I'll ever get. Suffice to say, search over.
There is no way someone would perform like that if they didn't mean every single lyric. Each and every word sounds like it came straight from his heart.
i saw him a week ago in munich and this song was also so intense and meaningful. The whole audience was perfectly silent and i started crying. Love this guy, he's so nice and gentle. I believe that more people deserve to know him.
You can see him essentially get so entangled in the raw emotion and reverie of his own song and then it’s almost as if he snaps out of abstraction @4:44 and remembers he’s in a tent playing for people. It’s a subtle and beautiful moment but one I am glad the crew caught it on camera. It was a genuine “oh shit, I forgot I’m playing for all of these people”
I have never heard a Kevin Devine song before. I think this is the best introduction I could have gotten. I have never heard this level of emotion in anything before. Wow.
Kevin fulfilled my dreams when he finished his show opener for the Front Bottoms in Minneapolis with this song. The passion is so strong with this song and gets me in the feels every time. Kevin thank you for your music and being an awesome guy. Thanks for hanging out after the show and taking photos.
How do you even carry out post concert convo with your girl after that. Just hearing it on RUclips for the zillionth time makes me not want to speak for at least a half hour 😂
Thanks, bruh. ETA: This is the one song/performance that captures my grief since my twin brother decided (understandably, mind you) that he'd seen enough and left the planet.
I feel like this needs to be said.. this song reminds me of watching my dad cuddle my little brother at night until he’d fall asleep.. I’d watch from the top bunkbed across our room, he was on the bottom of the other. I’d never felt loved by him like that. And then a few years later my dad committed suicide. I hate him, but I can see a different kind of hurt in my little brothers eyes. The emotion when Kevin screams heals me.
modern music doesnt suck, your just listening to the wrong artists, unless your talking about the mainstream, cause if so your in lala land to ever thing the mainstream was ever good past the 1970's

*I came here to see if this guy was worth seeing at a local tavern this weekend. Thanks for posting this. This made my decision really easy.*
Hope you got to see him and enjoyed it :)
That felt so personal. I honestly feel like I violated his personal space by listening haha,
I still hold my pillow tight to this day 😏
That's what songs should do....

The emotion is almost uncomfortable. It's as if he is reading us a part out of his journal. So good

How it the world this doesn’t have millions of views boggles my mind.
I have never heard a Kevin Devine song before. I think this is the best introduction I could have gotten. I have never heard this level of emotion in anything before. Wow.
Damn “ and each desperate try for elusive peace and every endless night, and each wasted week.”...I felt that.
This is my favorite version of this song and of anything ever. Kevin is incomparably gorgeous and heartbreaking.
This version makes me wonder what happened to him that day. Or in that period of his life. It's brought in a way you don't hear anywhere else.
We lost my oldest son in 2002, a few years ago I heard my youngest son listening to this... broke my heart All over again... only had 2 sons....
Wow, passion. Its what I like in ANY genre of music.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this, but it gets me every time. The emotion is palpable.
This ginger most definitely has a soul
weezle2371
The only one of his kind. He's a traitor to the ginger race.
Lol i never knew there were ginger memes

He is such a gift to the world
3:15-4:15 is my favorite part of the song.
The energy displaced about 3 minutes in shook everyone in that tent I’m sure
How do you even carry out post concert convo with your girl after that. Just hearing it on RUclips for the zillionth time makes me not want to speak for at least a half hour 😂
I envy the people who got to see this live.
This version needs to be on Spotify or iTunes like now its so good WHY IS THIS NOT AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD
Thanks, bruh.

God I could feel the raw emotion in his lyrics to the point where I started tearing up. Like idk the way he sings just provokes so many emotions
The result of: this voice combined with so much emotions, is just nothing but perfection
This is just amazing. I love the passion in the song climax. It's so powerful! We love Kevin Devine! Keep doin' your thing!
Awesome. Kevin ist such an awesome artist, may be it solo or with band.
I’ve seen him live at least five times. He puts 100 percent into every performance
It is beautiful and also emotional. His voice is very raw, i love that!
Maureen Ghazal it sounded like he was harmonizing with himself.
Love for your music and to you Kevin from Georgia! ❤
Wow. This is real music.
