I feel that it has more value when someone doesn't have millions of views, if you know what I mean. It makes me feel that I've "discovered" someone rare and unique and non-commercial. I often prefer these artists.
@@temporarydive So true. I suspect if he a million followers or whatever I wouldn't even pay attention. Heard him first with Angie and want to hear more from that point on.
This man lives and breaths music. You can see how deeply he feels the music. The audio on this video is amazing, captures the warmth and resonance and subtle details. Excellent camera work and video editing. Kudos to the KCRW team.
Recently listened to an interview with Lief on the Basic Folk podcast. He has synaesthesia and experiences sound or music as a visual image. So lives and breaths music is a metaphor, but he definitely feels music.
New Waves EP released just now with three of these KCRW recordings! Along with a few other great live tracks. So happy. Many thanks to KCRW for this gem of a recording, I've listened to it countless times.
It helps when you have a singer who never misses. I mean, i've watched 4 different live versions of Elegy and he sounds just like the recording every time. He probably did it in one or two takes.
The first time I heard Leif, it was live in a tiny venue. That was nearly 10 years ago - I’m still here now. My now wife and I were blown away instantly. You must see him live.
How come I missed Leif Vollebekk's KCRW concert? These are my absolute favorite tracks among his many beautiful songs. Leif, your music is such poetic, melodic gems.
This CDN artist is so talented and I can't get over how his style in music, amazing lyrics and his unique way of performing is catching my attention, totally mesmerized by him! Cheers ;)
Songtext: Coincidence is piling up, Don't know if it's a sign Sometimes you got no choice in the matter You gotta Shake the tree of time You see I finally found another That I'd like to introduce Do you know what I'm thinking, Can you tell me who I am Do you think that I am doomed? You're my blood brother What am I gonna do? You're my blood brother She's just like me and you I really fell hard for you baby, I won't fall for that again With my mind twisted and turned in all directions Til I don't know who I am You know your lips when they kiss me It's like a gun against my skin But if ever they cut you down with a dagger, Only I would feel it going in She's my blood brother What am I gonna do? She's my blood brother What am I gonna do? My life is on the radio, They're saying it's a dream I can tell that the lights are fading But it's just a change of scene You know sometimes it's like I'm weightless And it's just like I ain't here In fact for my next performance, I'm gonna plain disappear She's my blood brother It's just like I ain't here She's my blood brother I'm gonna plain disappear She's my blood brother It's just like I ain't here She's my blood brother I'm gonna plain disappear
For the betterment of humanity, this should have millions of views. Phenomenal.

It’s so easy to feel his music run through you. So smooth, so beautiful, so much soul. Leif is definitely a unique artist and we need more like him.

Totally agree with you.

So happy I stumbled upon Leif in Belfast in 2017 supporting Gregory Alan Isakov. How Talented is he?!

There’s just nothing else I can listen to…his music clears my world of all the suffocating noise.
These guys just come in and give this performance. Unreal. I need to see Leif live.

this is like taking a warm bath in a room full of candlelit kittens
best live musician i've ever seen. Leif, I was in your top 2% of spotify listeners in 2020. I saw you in SF. LOVE YOU! THANK YOU
Man, that is a sweet sound - just made my night 👌
What a performance of pure feeling... overwhelming....
Such a great concert. Love the back to back 'guitar faces' from the drummer and bass player @9:55 :)

Impressive sound! I like this musician a lot!
Seriously one of the most talented artists doing it right now, I think. Me and my girl are going to see him in New Orleans in March and I'm thrilled

Songtext:
Coincidence is piling up,
Don't know if it's a sign
Sometimes you got no choice in the matter
You gotta
Shake the tree of time
You see I finally found another
That I'd like to introduce
Do you know what I'm thinking,
Can you tell me who I am
Do you think that I am doomed?
You're my blood brother
What am I gonna do?
You're my blood brother
She's just like me and you
I really fell hard for you baby,
I won't fall for that again
With my mind twisted and turned in all directions
Til I don't know who I am
You know your lips when they kiss me
It's like a gun against my skin
But if ever they cut you down with a dagger,
Only I would feel it going in
She's my blood brother
What am I gonna do?
She's my blood brother
What am I gonna do?
My life is on the radio,
They're saying it's a dream
I can tell that the lights are fading
But it's just a change of scene
You know sometimes it's like I'm weightless
And it's just like I ain't here
In fact for my next performance,
I'm gonna plain disappear
She's my blood brother
It's just like I ain't here
She's my blood brother
I'm gonna plain disappear
She's my blood brother
It's just like I ain't here
She's my blood brother
I'm gonna plain disappear
Thanks for sharing this live. Love Leif's music so much.
Love all these tracks and the live energy. Apalachee Plain sounds like the very best Cowboy Junkies - Neil Young mashup possible.
14:50 Leif you're a genius
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great, great video. We're gonna see him live here in Aarhus, Denmark at our small venue, Atlas, in the middle of April 2020. Can't wait ...
How was the show?
@@chrisgray9220 Oh my!!
Beautiful music. Thanks
Glad you like it!
You have a sub from me because of Leif. Now i discovered all your great content. Thanks both of yous.
Amazing
If you want to see someone complete lose themself in the music, if you want to see unfiltered joy, watch.
Love !
Wow!
I'm in love with him!
I love this guy now
Why isn't the keyboard guy wearing a knit hat (aka: tuk)? (: Love your voice P&L
unreal
Guitar, vocs and keys. Hahahahahaha awesome!
❤️
So amazing 🥰When are You coming to Portugal?
damn. damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone know what the white guitar is that Leif is playing? Looks like some sort of jazzmaster I've never seen before.
what key harmonica does he use in first song?
Who knows
Anyone know what model the second guitar he uses is? Looks like a unique danelectro
Seems to be a Silvertone 1448.
A transatlantic flight brought me here... or maybe I was just drifting on an astral plane.
❤❤❤❤
Very influenced by Jeff Buckley. Discovered him on "The Bold Type".
