[@Hearsticles]

Nice to hear this song live, it's probably my favorite from an incredibly underrated album.

[@marcusmetternich6626]

I agree that this is one of the most beautiful songs on a more than brilliant album. But I wouldn't say it is an underrated album. Andy has a big audience and the album really achieved high acclaim by critics. It's beauty grows and grows and grows...

[@thomaslundquist3779]

Agreed, one of the greatest albums I have ever heard, for real.

[@supremarket]

That album won awards lol

[@no.mans.guy.]

Lol not underrated at all

[@davereichert]

Not underrated, just criminally unknown.

[@bobibob6103]

There is truly something powerful happening there. Nothing goes on but it's all there. In this immobility, fragile stability that is way more beautiful that if he was waving his whole body to the melody. So amazed to discover this great artist. And the band that just suits him so well.

[@melaniesprentz4925]

Heard him with a guitar in a small crowded coffee shop downtown Saskatoon before Starbucks took over, thought to myself I’ll always want to hear this even after he becomes famous, thought he’d pick up a band soon too, to colour the songs in his head ❤️🇨🇦🌾

[@Its_me-Im_you]

:/ sad to hear Starbucks took over.. but happy you got to see him long before. Keep with the thoughts to color the songs.

[@joshjet2oo]

The 4 dislikes are all Marthas who feel used

[@matthewnaughton8389]

Just keep being you Andy

[@lindasmith1971]

This song breaks my heart.

[@lindasmith1971]

But then Andy releases new music, and it’s put back together.

[@ThomasBuchel1]

I love that peacefulness in his songs and his performance, in that way it's very rarely seen. Just very very great!

[@imjimmyjo7783]

This voice is melting my bones. It's incredible how sweet you sound.

[@fat80832]

so much nicer than the studio version, absolutely love this

[@FDsessions]

Fat808 oh, thanks.

[@cherylwatersfan666]

play on 0.75 speed to bring your resting heart rate down to aprox 30 bpm

[@gritch-county-water-authority]

tried this, loved it, forgot about it, and later thought that the hosts of a podcast were drunk and slurring their words for an hour

[@kentborges5114]

Looking so forward to the FOXWARREN show in Portland, Oregon

[@bmbmbm19977]

My name is Martha and I dig this song haha

[@spikesmundranos3308]

My name is Mike and I dig this song hoho

[@anaflorentina3747]

What a surreal voice!!! Andy is just the best! ❤️

[@Vavek356]

so beautifull, everything...

[@carlajimenez3403]

Me transporta...Me encanta. Gracias

[@belectronix]

What a great clarinet part! Don't recall that on the album version.

[@RVScottsman]

This is the same ensemble he is touring with right now. That clarinet duo played on all the songs in the set. I guess they made arrangements for them that worked on all his songs. One of the best shows I've seen in long time. If he comes your way do yourself a favor and go!

[@Nullllus]

On the record strings played this part.

[@TheSebOfAwesome]

I love this dudes accent

[@rawrfee]

[@jakobwagstrom1272]

Just...wow.

[@hervedonat8576]

[@sdsurfs]

[@philpowell6915]

Perfection x

[@keepyourlovesafe]

This is just great! This was engineered and recorded very well as it's awesome listening to this on my pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50X.

[@jori2006]

oh Andy...

[@nwhelan1743]

what I would do to hear a full session

[@melody-rosemurray]

you’re my lil bb i love you andy

[@harrisonnir8034]

yay: clarinets!

[@ignas9218]

It may sound really weird, but this reminds me a lot of The Spider by Weezer

[@lewie895]

wow

[@anonymous_friend]

New genre! Nerd Folk!

[@ariasfrancia1854]

Cool

[@MartyxWL]

Fuck me this is sooo goood

[@kevinjnick]

Could someone explain the meaning in this song for me?

[@connorsmith9324]

He's singing about a girl at a party that closely resembles one of his previous lovers.

[@kevinjnick]

Thanks man

[@seanadams7407]

Kevin Nickerson it's also the last song on the album. Kind of the end of the night at a party when you're really drunk and find a girl and just slow dance with her. Pretty gorgeous song.

[@JamesAMichals]

he's singing to and about the one he can't have, as he goes on about life going through the motions, never able to really feel, martha is just a place holder.

[@seanlundy2837]

@@JamesAMichals id even argue that its about him realizing that he's moved on. despite some lingering memories

[@anniespoolhouse]

i love him. and is that one of those just pay the shipping watches?

[@ScribeLur]

he a little dude

[@suzy24a]

With a big heart

[@Siloette]

If anyone ever sees this whats the name of the girl in this video? I find her so cute😩

[@ragnarrothbard3418]

Accidental asmr

[@thebrooklyngardenclub225]

I can stop listening to him. His voice has this strange narcotic effect delivering majical word images via an IV drip

[@lewie895]

wow
