Kevin (me) lived in Brooklyn from 1979 to 1990. He (me) lived on Staten Island from 1990 to 1997. He (me) lived in Manhattan from 1997-2000. He (me) never lived in the Bronx. He (me) has lived back in Brooklyn since 2000. To recap: 23 years in Brooklyn, 7 (very formative) years on Staten Island, 3 years in Manhattan. I hope this satiates the controversy and excitement. Enjoy your day!
Kevin, i love your music man, it's an inspiration, i would kill to see you play live man, your amazing and your lyrics speak a lot of truth, keep on with the amazing work man. i hope to hear back from you one day, that would be the story of my life.
Either I have subconsciously suppressed my memory of seeing this so I could watch it again for the first time or...HOW THE FUCK HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE???
@brytohigh HOLY JESUS! Thank you! William Fitzsimmons is unbelievably talented. He's what Joshua Radin pleasures himself too, while simultaneously weeping. So glad you know him.
@XxiNERD2011xX He later went on to live in the bronx and attended Fordham University then later moved to BK and started his solo career.... SOOOOOO I think I know a wee bit more about kevin.... Oh and delusion put out their first 7 inch on STRUGGLE records....thank you have a nice night!
@XxiNERD2011xX Let me drop some knowledge your way... I usually don't pay much mind to hipsters but...I will make this short and to the point. Kevin is an old friend of mine. My comment was sarcasm. BUT if you want to wave your flag of wisdom make sure it is on the pole right side up. He was born in BK but as a young boy moved to SI. We attended H.S. together here on SI where he spent most of his young adult life and played in a band called delusion ( later renamed Miracle of 86)...
@whomeverthisconcerns They're both good. There is no reason to say that then bash Kevin Devine. No reason to bash anyone. Don't compare anyone to anyone. Why is everyone so pissed all the time?
who gives a shit weather or not he is gay, this song is amazing, :) i love him, i found out about him through the stuff he did with jessie lacey:) its great
It's all well saying that. But some people get things that others just don't that being said, do try getting it by ear, and if you do you'll be much prouder lol
@misterpine Well actually Bright Eyes dabbles with FAR more genres then Kevin Devine does. (Reggae, Country, Indie, Alt, Rock, Electronica, etc.) Not that anyone should compare either of the artists, knowing they are good at what they do. I love Kevin Devine, but he has no right to even be compared to Conor Oberst. Conor Oberst has went farther, and will continue to excel. Plus, Kevin Devine is the one who is doing Bright Eyes covers, not vice versa.
hes a good artist and has a great voice that definitely makes him stand out The lyrics arent so great and neither is this video though he has better songs out there elliott smith on the other hand... =)
wow. can't say anything without being jumped. what i meant was that i have a relation to him; i didn't intend to say that i was physically related to him.

Absolutly nothing short of amazing.
You leave me speechless, Kevin Devine.

Kevin, i love your music man, it's an inspiration, i would kill to see you play live man, your amazing and your lyrics speak a lot of truth, keep on with the amazing work man. i hope to hear back from you one day, that would be the story of my life.

This song is so nice..

his eyes always look straight into your soul
i love this video. it reminds me so much of home.

The Banana Pants are clearly the highlight of the video. Highlight of that night was the rousing SS in my old apartment. Good job boys.

I like it very much
For a smoker, he has a good voice
Either I have subconsciously suppressed my memory of seeing this so I could watch it again for the first time or...HOW THE FUCK HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE???
awesome
This is really good! I was sent a link here by my aunt, and apparently he is actually my aunt's friend's cousin, so it is really cool!
So he is practically your dad?
i hum this song to myself all day long
Any Manchester Orchestra fans out there? The EP Fourteen Years of Excellence is now available as an added value at indie retail stores.

yo i kno that park they are sitting in, its near the verazno bridge in bayridge DBU Park on shore roade
lyrically perhaps but with the piano accompaniment it definitely sounds similar
@MrLongSofty yes.
@linzsweetlinz WOW what good use of a horrible and hurtful word. I am amazed at your lingual skill....
Please someone tell me what's the name of his acoustic guitar!!! Thx a bunch :)))
ginger Jesus? i think yes!
yes, the video, and that the fact that i am kind of related to him.
@theseizuredance unlike bright eyes, kevin straddles a lot of genre lines and does it all well. check out "brother's blood" and see what i mean.
anyone know where i can get the guitar tab for this?
@whomeverthisconcerns They're both good. There is no reason to say that then bash Kevin Devine. No reason to bash anyone. Don't compare anyone to anyone. Why is everyone so pissed all the time?
aw i miss Odie
@mikesalamon
holy..this thing is about 2000 euro...dunno how much in $ but man...thats expensiv
I watched this on acid and thought Jesus was playing guitar.
@Nuentendu It is Jesus playing guitar.
LOL @ 1:54
bob dylan at 2:02 !!
I can hear a lot of Elliott Smith in this one, dunno why
Listen to Elliott's song The Biggest Lie. The solo is almost the same
haha.. well u have a point..^^
@MrLongSofty wrong
who gives a shit weather or not he is gay, this song is amazing, :)
i love him, i found out about him through the stuff he did with jessie lacey:) its great
It's all well saying that. But some people get things that others just don't that being said, do try getting it by ear, and if you do you'll be much prouder lol
please refer to the dozens of love songs referencing females that he's written.
@fdmedic309622
