These guys are insanely talented
Those who still use the term retarded must be just that
Unbelievable harmonies. Some of the nuances in the delivery of those lyrics made me well up, made my jaw drop and my eyes widen.
Absolute perfection.
If one needs a sense that 2021 will be a better year, I just discovered these guys--so it is better.
Dude flat out makes love to his guitar, and it's stupendous.
WOW WOW WOW... bravo ! tellement beau leur style de musique.
Very well done. Great Band. Sound a bit like "Simon and Garfunkle" of my time. Lovely music. Martha E. Ohio University School of Music. Athens, Ohio
Is it just me or do they look like Lennon and McCartney?
SHITTTTTT
Milk Carton kids? are they poking fun at kidnapped children? hope not
i know right!? because then you would be offended!
It's completely nuts how good this is. Great things happened back in the day, yes. But they are still happening if you know where to look. Or rather, if you frequent places where greatness is likely to find you.
+Steve X Well F-ing said!

You have to look harder now to find good stuff like this, but it's out there. Gotta dig!!
Nicely put my good man.
These guys, The Punch Brothers, Sufjan Stevens. If you like rap, Kendrick Lamar.
Even this band of guys from my high school is pretty great-More Fatter. Check the song The Owl.
yay for all-mahogany Martins
I agree
True, and the Gibson aint no slouch either :-)
Eric Fricke ‘47 017 in my kit
Yay, and nylon-stringed ones.
@@uzefulidiot yeah their electric guitars had pretty much gone to shit up until recently, but they always made some of the greatest acoustic guitars in the Montana factory.
Pure beauty, recorded the only way acoustic music should be, through a great microphone, not plugged into the PA! These guys really get it: the quiet dynamics of the song, the guitars weaving parts around each other, and those gorgeous close harmonies. Amazing!
the mic is definitely hooked up to the PA. And if you mean as opposed to the guitars being plugged straight into a PA, almost nobody does that. Almost always the instruments are run through their own amplification system with their pedals and effects, etc, then fed to the PA.
Yeah, I understand all that...I just worded my comment badly! I meant purely acoustic guitars played into a mic, no on-board pickups.
The clouds move over Pontiac skies
Their silent thunder matches mine
I know this feeling from long ago
I wondered was it gone, but now I know
So when she calls, don't send her my way
When it hurts, you'll know it's the right thing
Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands, where I could see 'em
It took the words right out my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now?
Without you
Without you
It's unannounced, like you'd expect it
I'm on broke down brake lines and Motown records
And all that's left is a blind reflection
But you know what's coming and you regret it
So when she calls, don't send her my way
When it hurts most it's the right thing
Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands, where I could see 'em
It took the words right out my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now?
Without you
Without you
Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands, where I could see 'em
You took the words right out my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now?
Without you
Without you
I found this song when I was deep in the throes of my pain over a breakup, and the words "what am I supposed to do now, without you" felt like a proverbial kick in the stomach. What, indeed, was I supposed to do now, without him? I honestly did not know. He was a constant in my life for five years. How could a constant change? How could a constant go away?
I kept trucking on, even through my tears. I just carried on. I knew there was no other way around it. I cried, but I continued walking.
And today, almost three years to the day since the relationship crumbled, this song still shoots arrows at my heart when I recall the anguish I was in when I first heard it. And while I still don't have a definite answer to the question "what am I supposed to do now, without you?" I do know one thing -
Everything passes. Emotions, feelings, pain, hardship. They pass. If you're reading this and you happen to be sad right now, I know it's hard right now, I know it seems impossible right now. But believe me, this feeling is just a moment in time. It's hard to believe it right now, but, trust me. It's not permanent. You WILL figure it out.
In the meantime, cry it out. Feel your feelings. Put this song on repeat. Do what you need to do. I promise you, one day you will be okay. You will laugh again. You will love again.
It’s a beautiful song. It’s the beauty of heartbreak. Loving once is worth it. Even the pain is worth it. Don’t look passed the beauty of your pain. And yes, life does go on, and we grow stronger and better.
Thank you for writing this.
He was a fool to let you go. Anyone who composed such heart felt sentiment is a soul mate not an after thought. You deserve someone who knows you body and soul
Beautifully worded.
Rita McNeil’s Flying On Your Own is a helpful song in such a situation.
Their melody and pitches are so on point they it looks like they're pretending to play and lip syncing.
I love the story that they both were struggling solo artists who somehow just "clicked" when putting their voices together and have skyrocketed ever since. Love these dudes!
Still love this song to this day! Such amazing voices and guitar. Never gets old
these guys are so in sync it's beyond beautiful
Incredibly beautiful. I will be seeking tickets. Wow. I haven't heard anything I've liked as much since I saw Gordon Lightfoot in the 70's.
Sam Lester - Gordon went down on the Fitzgerald to play with Davey Jones
A song I found just now. That I've listened to at least 150 times. Holy grail.
I was at this show, had no idea who they were when I went. On top of being awesome musicians, they were so funny in between songs. They had the audience cracking up with their banter between one another. These guys are great, see em if you whenever you get a chance.
+Rick Gauthier they want 60 dollars at least though :(
+Casey Beck They could charge 120 and I'd still go to their show.. So talented and worth every penny.
Same almost. Skipping channels one night until I came across this show. Within 10 mins, i went from not knowing who they were to them being one of my favorites. It's rare I find a group that exhibits such passion like these two.
I saw them at the Ann Arbor Folk Fest a few years ago.......and they didn't get to play long enough in my opinion. They are GREAT!!!
Agreed, I caught these gentleman on PBS the other evening and was mesmerized as their beautiful voices and sweet guitar work soothed my old soul and brought me back to a better day, Bella!! Thank you young men!
No way Austin City limits, you've just extended Austin all the way to Berlin. Thanks.
about as organic as it gets - nice to see this kind of art still exists
Simon and Garfunkel reincarnated?
what are the chances that these are the children of john lennon and paul mccartney i cant be the only one to see this resemblance... also amazing song
I thought of James spader younger. Heheh
Amen to that! Sam my god! you talk about touching! the soul! these boys! are just plain! Lennon N McCartney! looks talent! and voices!
+Sam Stubenhaus My brother and I were thinking Jackson Browne and Paul Simons kids lol
Exactly.... First thing I noticed!!
Looks yes...sound? I dont see McCartney or Lennon in their sound
who’s here in 2020/2021🥺✨
I seen these guys by accident and I am a big fan because of it
Continuo com minha tese, o mundo está louco, como uma obra prima dessas há 9 anos só tem a miserável quantia de 500 mil visualizações? Merecemos a Mer** das músicas que temos que engolir
Definitely some Gillian Welch / Dave Rawlings inspiration here (also Simon & Garfunkel) - very nice.
+Jayme Edwards Came here hoping someone heard and saw what I did. Even moves with his guitar like Dave! Love these guys and DRM!
Jayme Edwards I actually heard this song in passing, and thought it was David rawlings on guitar, that's how I discovered this gem
That dude has to have studied Dave Rawlings so hard it’s so clear!
I was thinking exactly the same thing with the Dave Rawlings dissonance and more obviously to most the Simon and Garfunkul.
Even his hands resemble Rawlings' hands!
Their voices sound like caresses to my soul. So sweet...
california. the NEW Laurel Canyon sound if you want to call it that. I found them watching the Inside Llewyn Davis showcase that T-Bone put on for Showtime. These guys are crazy talented. If you these guys, Check out Mandolin Orange, and The David Mayfield Parade.
Nash 40 David Mayfield Parade is one of my favorites as well!
love this song. almost in tears. just when I needed it ! live short love long!!!
Their obvious passion for music is inspiring.
Looking forward to seeing the guys in Glasgow for Celtic Connections. Real talent.
These dudes are even better live! My favourite song right here!
Saw them live, was unforgettable, they held the audience spellbound.
Ridiculously amazing...
ridiculously gay like my brother bilo
LONGMIRE brought me here
Hell on Wheels, Season 1: Episode 8, led me here. I hit on this video after Gillian Welch; Annabelle....which was on Hell on Wheels, Season 1: Episode 8! Damn good music on Hell on Wheels, the guitar 🎸 sounded similar to the guy in this group. His guitar skills are AMAZING! And Longmire, I LOVE that show!! ❤❤❤
Joey is one of the best guitarists out there. Truly a legendary talent.
+Noah McDaniel
I think you're referring to Kenneth ... Joey plays more rhythm (he's playing the Gibson J-45). Kenneth plays the Martin with the handkerchief.
Or are you referring to the joke?
He and David Rawlings…
It's very telling that this is their worst performance of this song that I've found on TH-cam. Dead strings on two occassions and one bum harmony. I have no idea how anyone can be this good live.
Man there is two songs of theirs I know one is Graceland is a ghost town tonight and the other is this one. Both songs are some of the most beautiful pieces of musicianship Ive had the pleasure of hearing but I'd have to say Michigan is one song I've listened to while driving truck being on the road and dealing with some very tough matters of the heart and has become a def hands down top 5 on my all time personal fav play list..
Who else still watching in 2021
Fucking ovaries man😭😭😭😭
This is my favorite version of this song they've done... I think it's their best because they really take their time with it... so great.
these guys have spent thousands of hours together doing this. man do I feel lucky to hear it.
My heart can hardly handle this.
I listened to this religiously when I got cheated on in 2016. Went on a trip on my own to LA and always played this over there. I listened to it about a year later and it ruined me emotionally. Here I am in 2020 absolutely loving it. Strange how emotion can play into music like this does for me. Still brings up a lot of sadness but also glad I went through what I did, to appreciate what I have now and how far I've come.
I can't get enough of their music! Incredible work!
AWESOME musicians. Very cool guys and very talented. A joy to listen to :)
Love these guys - two guitars, two voices, one mic. So simple and beautiful.
Tone is unbelievable... this performance is just too good.
Utterly stunning how good this sounds live
Real Dave Rawlings guitar vibes
I watched " promised Land the other night and had to find out who was singing. The music was breathtaking. You are now my favorite group. Your voices blend perfectly together.
Haunting
Will always love the guitar tone. So unique and expressive.
The modern day Simon and Garfunkel
So beautiful - their music is restoring! Amazing musicians.
I can't believe I'm finding this song now it's like finding a diamond in the dust
Just bumped into these guys on NPR the other day. Great harmonies, arpeggio pickin' in the tradition of Simon & Garfunkel, Spencer Davis & Peter Jameson
If you think about it, this song is not about what it appears to be about. Took me a long time to realize that. Beautifully written and performed.
Heard this band today on NPR. You guys rock!!!
This is beautiful. The guitar and the overall vibe sounds very Dave Rawlins/Gillian Welch. TH-cam algo feeling it, too, knuckleball catcher being the second option in my feed on the right.
As much as I love the name "The Milk Carton Kids"... I also enjoy the name "Two Guys One Mic". Joey and Kenneth, please take this into consideration maybe when naming your next album if you're reading this. You know it is the right thing to do. Keep doing what you do. I love you guys.
saw them last night in Toronto....amazing show
Two guys, two guitars, one mic. Flawless and just how it should be. Might be one of the prettiest sad songs I've ever heard.
My god so underrated.
Love discovering new artists 😊👏❤️
I love their sound. Simple and beautiful
Amazing performances by these two. Was given one of those mics a few months ago. Had no idea what it was.. I surely do now.. Ear Trumpet Labs "Edwina". :)
Brian White .... Proof that a microphone can be a musical instrument in its own right when the quality is beyond superior.
I'm just so curious what the thought process was behind the few people who disliked this video. This is unbelievable.
what we wanted to preserve, we lost, after it put the destruction in our face. eating your wants for a place to be preserved, is not the same as demanding its preservation.
Great tune...reminds me of Ryan Adams
from the machineist, to the manager, all fell to the destruction of manufacturing being moved out.
You took the words right out my mouth.....
Those harmonies are so soulful. Amazing song
Holy crap this is good.
still gives me the chills!
They arent from michigan so whats the backstory here from two la kids
Music isn't dead after all...
They’re quite simply extraordinarily talented.
this is a song about pontiac michigan dying and people moving out.
this is a song about pontiac michigan dying and people moving out.
how does this not have more views? incredible performance
I think that when they both met each one thought the other one was better .......
What Martin Guitar is he playing 00-15M or 000-15M?
Wow! That was beautiful!
My goodness. Spellbinding
Man Autumn Renew's The Spirit!!!!!
That one dude is making straight love to that guitar
It's been in my head for days. Beautiful.
Anyone else get tripped out by the way they pronounce 'rear view?' I don't know, it just sounds strange to me.
Omg yes. Fear view? Vear view? Wtf
Someone tell me what magical microphone is that?
Pure talent.
Just gonna throw out if you love this you should definitely check out CITY AND COLOUR. you're welcome
The reincarnation of Simon and Garfunkel
Oh, ouch. Ow. It hurts and it's the right thing.
Music. This song could be in any genre.
Modern day Simon & Garfunkel !
I have to agree steve x it is insanely beautiful
Beautiful stuff..eerily similar approach musically and melody to Gillian Welch/David Rawlings
So true! Absolutely love both groups. Wonder if it's the same make guitar that David Rawlings uses?
peaceis Wikipedia says it's "Ryan on a 1951 Gibson J45 and Pattengale on a 1954 Martin 0-15."
It really is kinda like a Rawlings/Welch sound, with sorta like the modern replacement for an aging Simon and Garfunkel on the vocals. Between them, Sarah Jarosz, the Decemberists and a a few others, it seems like there's a bright new future for folk being formed. Hopefully the pop-folk "indy that's not indy" craze with stuff like Mumford and Sons bring in a few people who then try to find some of the "core" folk and grow the genre.
They have that Jayhawks sound going
