My goodness it's so perfect. So delicate and well balanced. Not too strong, not too weak. Just perfect. Every little detail so well put together. The drums are light and elegant. The backup vocals are balanced so delicately with Bear's voice which doesn't go overboard. That mandolin kills me every time. The bass brings it all together in a hug so beautifully. Goosebumps!Goosebumps!Goosebumps!
Couldn't have said it any better. (: Seeing these guys live is truly amazing. They sound so good in this version. I heard them live a month ago and it was life changing. (:
It takes guts to evolve a song after you record it. Listen to the studio version of this song and then to this and it is night and day. NTB, you have created transformative magic in this version of Wasteland. Thank you for sharing your gift.
After 3 years, I still turn to this song during times of struggle - specifically this version. It is very very rare that I ever like (or even love) variants of great original recordings (The studio LP version of Wasteland is superb), but this acoustic is simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It will be hard for any song to knock this out of my top 10 playlist.
This song speaks to me in so many ways. I want to serve God and I have served Him for years but wandering away in my deeds, in my insecurities, in my fears and doubts...getting lost in serving and forgetting who I'm serving. They're right. "It's wrong when it seems like work" I need Jesus
This video (and song in general) is so beautiful and moving! It always makes me so emotional when his voice shakes while singing the words "and their hearts are like mine"
I remember hearing this first on their Live From The Woods album. When he says that line, "all of these people I meet, it seems like they're fine, yeah in some ways I hope that there not and their hearts are like mine," it would always break me down, because after leading worship for 12+ years and always getting overlooked and treated like complete garbage, that line would resonate so deeply! I'm still a Christian to this day, but I don't live according to other people's opinions.
I remember meeting these guys 10 years ago. It was a small venue but still the best concert I’ve ever been to! Such beautiful vocals and they give it there all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 😀
What a Beautiful song, I'm pleased that you got the chance I record n such a famous studio. God is n my side as well as yours. God Bless your Band. Keep playing....
That drummer was an intern at their studio and one day they needed a drummer and someone mentioned he could play. They all laughed when they realized they had a really talented drummer making coffee runs. Now he is touring with one of the most talented bands in the world.
Well I think wasteland as wrote by both of the brother rineheart, during the healing process that they had to endure of mending their shattered hearts from the pain they had caused one other.
He is calling the lost out of the darkness into His wonderful light in these ends times. May His perfect peace which surpasses understanding come upon you and give you the greatest gift ever given...a free gift too...salvation in Christ! I almost gave up on this life many times...battled depression for over a decade and He took all the pain from my past away when I was reborn Jan 2019. Now He uses me to speak of His glory to so many. He did not come to condemn the world....but save it and soon miracles will happen in abundance leading so many to the Cross. A revival is coming. Love you all and God bless you all and all those around you in the mighty name of Yahushua Hamashiach!!!

Well said. I love how everyone (vocals & instruments) builds steadily to the crescendo. Perfection.
2023 found this wonderful piece from red clay strays cover . Even the original is spectacular!!! 🥃🥃👍🏻👊🏻
Nine years later and I still come down here to watch it.
This is amazing. I've heard this song at least a hundred times, but I'm almost in tears hearing this.
not the only one!
Like the rest of the album, this song is fantastic. You guys are truly gifted.

i dont know how many years its been for me, but at my lowest times i still turn to this. The original version am sort of jsut checking this out

I love how the song slowly builds up to this climax, how the drums begin so gentle and grow stronger to this... outburst.
Amen! OHHHH how I love this band⋰⋱⋰⋱❤
This video (and song in general) is so beautiful and moving! It always makes me so emotional when his voice shakes while singing the words "and their hearts are like mine"
Man I didn't think this song could get better, then it did. WOW!
Right!?
YES YES YES - Such an amazing version of this song!

That’s the way to live, brother! Thanks for sharing your connection to the song!!
What kind of opinions? @Daniel Cobarrubias
It's one of my favourite song. Terrible experience in a church. Faith is stronger because Jesus showed me how much I needed him.
Such a sad song but it’s absolutely beautiful
This song is so unbelievably crisp and closely intertwined... i cant get enough. Perfect
2020 - still here.
The hum...when no one sings, I almost missed it but it is exactly the part of this song I needed.
Fantastic - This song really touches the heart. Thank you
This band has my 💖
Beautiful song & this live version is wonderful. Love it.
Love the way this version ended... I wish they could have added it as an additional track to the album.
I remember meeting these guys 10 years ago. It was a small venue but still the best concert I’ve ever been to! Such beautiful vocals and they give it there all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 😀
WOW. A "crack in the door ... it's all that I need to shine". That is one of the most powerful lyrics I have ever heard.
Great bands do their own songs better over time and end up performing live better than they did on the album. This is a great band.
2023 now. I come back to this again and again and again.
This is so so so so so incredible
Song like this remind you why music is so powerful. This song perfection.
Such an incredible song & performance.
Love NTB & “The Heat” is still one of my top 3 favorite albums ever.
Cream of the crop in the Christian music scene here! And, in any music scene as as I’m concerned.
Josh and Seth sound like angels with their background oooh's.
turtlegurl06 yes!!! Their voices are definitely angelic. 😇 🎀 ⚡️
I think you mean Bo and Seth though...I do see Josh singing too, but I never really hear his voice as much as the other two. 🤔
Can´t hold the tears in my eyes... don´t know why.. it makes men cry. His voice and the music :((
Ridiculously great
This kiwi says you gotta listen to this volume up... love the buildup to finish
I've never appreciated Bo's harmony enough before this
What a Beautiful song, I'm pleased that you got the chance I record n such a famous studio. God is n my side as well as yours. God Bless your Band. Keep playing....

There's a River in the wasteland
Awesome!
I didn't expect to say this, but I like this version even better than the original.
Love it. Want more..
I didn't like this song at first. Then i really listened to it. Then i saw them do it live. Now I really like this song.
Thank You.
Who's listening this in 2020??
Me...again. 😊 I love these guys so much.
Awesome version. Although it sounds like they had Bear turned up a little too high.
😍
♥️

That came to mind during the video. WOW.
Drummer definitely looks like a Starbucks Barrista.
Oh My God
I'm an atheist and usually don't like when songs talk about god, but this is amazing!
Well I think wasteland as wrote by both of the brother rineheart, during the healing process that they had to endure of mending their shattered hearts from the pain they had caused one other.
I'm a minister [in the Presbyterian Church (USA)], and these guys are one of the few Christian bands that don't make me embarrassed to be a Christian.
I don't think any band should make you embarrassed to be a Christian no matter what they say or do; but I do understand what you mean.
