I preformed 5 Minutes in my art class to students who never even heard of or liked spoken poetry and received a standing ovation.. It felt great and it took me three weeks to even get the words right.. I received full marks and everyone was really moved, also scared to go after me.
This is the 4th time I'm about to watch this in a row and I genuinely don't think there's ever been a time where I've just sat in silence and watched a video on repeat like this :) I've only discovered Pip's work recently and it's clear to me already that the man is a genius :D He has the gift of being able to paint such vivid and realistic pictures with just one line and as you try to process that image the next line hits you and is equally as resonating... I have to see him live!
The feeling that was brought Listening to your talk Broke me down inside Like my memories that haunt A man with such passion Must of felt some pain Or done it him self And Tring to reclaim Powerful words that will stay in my brain Thank you for helping heal some scars
that was intense, love your music but when I heard this... so deep and profound, I think I used that right anyway.. just one more time oh my god almost brought tears to my eyes
Been waiting for a video for this for a long long time; ever since I first heard Logic of Chance. Love the simplicity of the video, reflects the essence of the piece perfectly.Logic of Chance features (in my opinion) some of Pip's best work. You are amazing Pip...keep doing what you're doing x
Its easier to hear and feel the full impact of the words without the music. This is an artist who enjoys the music, but doesn't really need it. Not that the music doesn't add something, but it should never drown out the words, it should hold them up to the light.
Dan Otten Millions of people dont but know just what you mean .Was prob too close to home for them.....more likely 6 people [7 now] dont like being reminded they abuse women .
I've never raised my hand to a woman but that still moved me to tears That's the power of great poetry .,it can put you in someone else's head .

Spoken word at its finest from the inimitable Mr Pip
Was just listening to the album version the other night. Very nice to hear the spoken version.

God damn, man.

Thank you.
The feeling that was brought
Listening to your talk
Broke me down inside
Like my memories that haunt
A man with such passion
Must of felt some pain
Or done it him self
And Tring to reclaim
Powerful words that will stay in my brain
Thank you for helping heal some scars

I would love to see you performing live. Just thought provoking enough to be completely different.

The words you speak are so powerful and form images that can change a person's life. This is amazing. Thank you.

That was lovely. The switches worked brilliantly. Well done.
Nothing quite like hearing this live.

Beautiful but depressing and brings up some unhappy memories, but im better now then the past so this is more as lived and learned and moved on
This is one of the best tracks on the album

Coming to the United States anytime soon Pip?
1st time I feel he does not really grasps what he's talking about
He deserves that, else he'd be just too good 2 b true
It was really good, but it woulda hit me like a ton of bricks if the verses were switched
wow. please keep doing your thing. I am buying your stuff and talking about you with my friends and family.
Brings tears to my eyes. Pip for President... or Prime Minister. Fuck it, let him do both jobs!
Pip what are you opinions on Odd Future and Tyler the creator? i.e the rape themes in some of his songs
chilling

When is PIP going to have children ? The world will be a better place with his offspring in it to dilute the nastiness in the world we inhabit.
6 people don't know what art is.
