@AOMechMarine AOMechMarine That's untrue. For singers, as they get older because of all that acquired practice and experience, they can sing way higher or lower than when they were younger. Unless of course, if they drink and smoke excessively and fuck up their voice. Martin is just using a chesty voice with this band.
@AOMechMarine AOMechMarine well yeah it was his voice in that era but in a recent interview he said he had to untrain himself to get out of the habit of the early 2000s Emo Naisal voice and learn to find his own voice which is what he Is now using in the night game
@AOMechMarine AOMechMarine yeah personally I think he sounds better after listening to the night game and going back to that first BLG album the songs are great but his voice is very Naisly on the record I think he sounded better performing the songs live in a lower key
Technically he can hit higher notes now. Some of the notes at the end of the line in this song are hit in full chest voice. I am 96% certain that he was unable to do that during BLG days. The vocal technique he used in BLG is very different from the one with this band. To create the BLG sound, you mix your head and chest voice and place it at the back of your mouth with an airtight gut to make it sound thin and bratty. The sound he is using for The Night Game is resonating in the chest area, and hence it is very different. If Martin were to perform a BLG song now in the original key, he would sound a lot better than he did back then because his voice has become stronger. Back then in BLG, they used to perform nearly all their songs half-step down when live. It's worth noting the dropped guitar and open chords that have stayed constant with Martin since BLG.
I really love this song. It's been my No. 1 most streamed song on spotify for two years now. But this version is just kinda wierd. First of all it's hardly unplugged now is it!? That acoustic guitar Martin plays is actually the only thing that is used in an unplugged setting... just saying.
oh no. why does that not sound ANYTHING like their true song? their instrumental game seems WAY off :( I'm seeing them in DC in April so I really hope their sound is on point then.... Night Game, I've been a fan ever since you rocked opening for John Mayer in Denver last year. -DIG YOUR BEATS
Only when you have big eggs you stand this "intro" so...... Respect!
live "Musik zu machen" ...wer kann das schon noch ....Genial umgesetzt !!
I love how they finished with Wicked Game.
Amazing song, great singer, more power to them! 🥳👍
Wunderschöne Stimme, genialer song
Mit Abstand das beste was ich im Radio gehört habe
I love his voice & stage presence. Really knows how to pull you into a performance :)
Also Leute das ist das beste was ich seid Jahren Live Gehört habe da müsst ihr mir wohl Recht geben
What a beautiful voice Martin Johnson has!
Was für ein geiler Song
Kirin turned me onto to this. he's the best
Herr Schmidt, das ist immernoch die beste Live-Version des Songs, die meine 0.2 sekündige Googlesuche ausgespuckt hat!!! Herzlichste Grüße!
Still....!!!
Alter, sind die gut!!!

Martin in His forever favourite guitar drop
Fifth floor, lorimer apartment above the warehouse
The Hasidic landlord checks on the rent
Neon lights shining off of the bodega
It's been weeks since I got up outta bed
Pushed her farther for nothing but the silence
Sometimes it's nice to just be alone
Up and down, chip the rock around the diamond
Sometimes it skins me down to the bone
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead, end dreamer, the angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Dealer's got 21, that's Brooklyn or maybe it's fate
Once in a lifetime
You put the handgun down the bag down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be saved
Blue sun rising, awake at 11:30
With a headache that's been pounding for months
Something's different, a hot indian summer
The body's waking up in the trunk
Help me, I need a voice, I need a reason
Need anything but smoke in my lungs
Flush it down, watch it spin around to freedom
The bathroom floor is temple for some
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead and dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Dealers's got 21, that's Brooklyn or maybe it's fate
Once in a lifetime
You put the handgun down the bag down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be safe
And you're walking out
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Well it's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
Once in a lifetime
That I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
Well, I'm down on my, yeahhh
Yeahhh
Yeahhh
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead and dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Dealer's got 21, that's Brooklyn or maybe it's fate
Once in a lifetime
You put the handgun down the bag down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be saved
And you're walking out
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Martin is finally using his true voice
Jamie Ryan yes he is. It’s so beautiful

Masterpiece
Mr. Johnson looks tired, but they are fire with Kirin
Technically he can hit higher notes now. Some of the notes at the end of the line in this song are hit in full chest voice. I am 96% certain that he was unable to do that during BLG days. The vocal technique he used in BLG is very different from the one with this band.

Back then in BLG, they used to perform nearly all their songs half-step down when live. It's worth noting the dropped guitar and open chords that have stayed constant with Martin since BLG.
It probably took him a couple of takes and edits in order to achieve that sound back in BLG.
wie cool, mit 16 sah ich auch so aus.....wtf
Как называется группа? Офигенная композиция!
😁✊
AND YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF...LIVING IN A Fifth floor lorimer apartment..... above the warehouse
Sooooooo many Cables,....... UNPLUGGED?!? Think about it ! haha

Was hat den der Sänger für eine Jacke? Kennt jemand die Marke?
Looks like a thrift shop find.
Good thing he gave up boys like girls and started this
Auf ner Harley fahrn und dieser Song,dann braucht man keine Frau
oh no. why does that not sound ANYTHING like their true song? their instrumental game seems WAY off :( I'm seeing them in DC in April so I really hope their sound is on point then.... Night Game, I've been a fan ever since you rocked opening for John Mayer in Denver last year. -DIG YOUR BEATS
They just stripped it down a little for this performance. You'll be seeing the legit version live.
Worst song called once in a lifetime
