Violin like the cello grabs you with every fiber in the bow, every vibration... I think in the soul of our minds it slows down to where each time the string moves we feel it as one and we just just speed it up to realize it's music. It's cosmic!!! ❤
The amazing violinist is Violeta Vicci, who's also the co-writer of this tune. She has done a ton of published musical work, solo and as a session musician.
Every line he writes is so profound in meaning. His lyrics seem to ingrain themselves into your head. He’s a truly brilliant poet, a legend in the making for sure.
I love this kid but seriously the fan boys are one of the most easily impressed and embarrassing people ever... Especially when considering what grian's songs are all about and the possibility of how much he hates everyone including all you creepers.
The violin in this is even better than the album version. Gutted I missed his live performance at a record shop in Brighton the other night. Saw FDC in November with my son and they were sensational.
This is great, time for Grain Chatten to show us what a great singer he can be! Loving this band on their journey of music and saving it at the same time!

Lyrics Sorry if any mistakes Kindness is a trick to turn you strange 'Til you're twisted and you're shining like a varicose vein Anger makes you weak and turns you sick And gets you in the six feet nice and quick No fair They can talk to me I can live alone I can live alone Happy where I like to be I can live alone, alone, alone, alone I fought For the right to be I can live alone I can live alone The fairies get their fingers and they spin your wheel And they make you look at sunshine that your skin will never feel Baby, do you miss the days before Hope knocked on your door? But you went and fell in love And into you love fell And it made you feel unwell Oh well There's a thing about people that I suppose is alright It's when they smile right at their pain through all the day and night The fool dies at the altar in a smile Says "I'm moving to America You won't see me for a while" If I get the ferry over, will the fairies follow me? Will they throw me to the sea? We'll see No fair They can follow me I can live alone I can live alone Happy where I like to be I can live alone, alone, alone, alone I fought For the right to be I can live alone I can live alone When the devil takes your soul He does not care If you're shot down like a dog Or expired on the stairs The boat is drifting in, the weight is cast How can life go so slowly And death come so fast? Across the River Styx I'll row along But I've got one more song More song More song More song
He is just soooo good. Really gave it wellie! Must see him solo. Full way round in a criss cross cabbie with my head and my tongue hanging out. Grian is a genius❤❤
Heard this and it instantaneous stopped me where I stood it was so utterly mesmerizing . Afterwards I went and looked up the lyrics. Wow I don't want nor wish to make lazy comparisons to other person. Because personally I haven't heard anything quite like it let alone on a par and I hazard a guess I won't be with again any time soon . Fantast amazing sublime more than poetic doesn't do it justice
That chuggy guitar riff thing lives rent free in my head. It's quite melodic. I sometimes substitute it with words like 'marijuana' when I take a shower in the morning, hungover and on my way to work. But that's my problem. :)
Isn't anybody going to mention this phenomenal violin player who's slicing the universe in half with her bow?
I noticed that too she’s shredding it

this is my favourite comment ever
No
he’s such a talent. this is so different from Fontaines’ music but stunning in its own way. he always blows me away.
Class track,vocals get me every time ❤
This guys going places for sure
Sono completamente rapita!
i genuinely haven’t stopped listening to this since it was released
Genuinely?
Yo tampoco paré.
Same. It’s so good!
eu também não consegui
me too
Nice to see Fontaines’ drummer too, absolutely proud of Grian
This kid (everyone under 50 is a kid) is a pretty singular talent. Love the album.
A CHARISMATIC VOICE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VOICE IN EVERY BAND
The amazing violinist is Violeta Vicci, who's also the co-writer of this tune. She has done a ton of published musical work, solo and as a session musician.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how to properly photograph, edit, and present a top musical talent in a live format. Superb all around.
This is an example of what people usually call masterpiece, for sure
Every line he writes is so profound in meaning. His lyrics seem to ingrain themselves into your head. He’s a truly brilliant poet, a legend in the making for sure.
I totally hear you on that one. Slainte.
Calm down, ffs

Gas altogether , he is an exciting new breeze and the Fontaines , but we wont be framing his shite to hang on the wall just yet@@niasari8573
@niasari8573 and you trolls...
Grians lyrics stand out the most for me in his music, straight poetry
asha from sorry on guitar!! so much talent in one performance
Played this in my car today and found my 9year old grandson humming this afterwards. Real earworm track from a great album.
That`s a great little human story right there. Think the boys in the band would love that one. Cheers.
Wow, I love the Fontaines, this is immense too. Grian is what the music industry has missed for years!
Absolute belter of a song ...I just want that chorus to return for a third time
3:30 that violist feeling the drop is brillliant! my man, what a performance..
Totally!!! Brilliant!
Dublin accent coming though in the vocals is great. Top track.
What a musician, Grian makes it look so easy, his lyrics are very powerful too
The violin in this is even better than the album version. Gutted I missed his live performance at a record shop in Brighton the other night. Saw FDC in November with my son and they were sensational.
I've got a recording of this from Brighton last week. Waiting for my other half to upload it. Will share soon.
@@sandravarney313 Fantastic Sandra. Thanks.
AWESOME, what a future classic!!!
What a performance. The live version is phenomenal
Simply sublime.. Grian is a national treasure.. Music and lyrical genius... Superb 🇮🇪 ❤️🎸🎼👏
His voice and delivery makes me shiver. Love him!
I am very much looking forward to his solo outing.
This is a prime example.
Amazing talent.
Fontaines D.C as well.
This is great, time for Grain Chatten to show us what a great singer he can be! Loving this band on their journey of music and saving it at the same time!
An unstoppable genius, future of music. Finally our generation can say we have a genius of our own, and he’s f****ing Irish!! 🇮🇪
He was born in Cumbria England to an English mother
Sort of makes him English
@@Disorder1889 hes both

Love this song so much! ❤
Just love listening to Grian. His lyrics are fantastic.
My king, he's an absolute gem
Phenomenonal song and performance.
Brilliant song and performace
I am incredibly impressed with this performance. What a jewel of a tune! This is so far outside of my expectations, in a marvelous way. Thank you.
Absolutely divine❤️my favourite Grian Chatten song, even better live🙌
What a tune! Been obsessed with the studio version of this, but this live version is even better!
Best tune I've ever heard..quite literally! Been on repeat all night
Love this 🎵
its unbelievable how good this is I cant stop watching it
It’s a beautiful song 🥰🔥
Lyrics
Sorry if any mistakes
Kindness is a trick to turn you strange
'Til you're twisted and you're shining like a varicose vein
Anger makes you weak and turns you sick
And gets you in the six feet nice and quick
No fair
They can talk to me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy where I like to be
I can live alone, alone, alone, alone
I fought
For the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
The fairies get their fingers and they spin your wheel
And they make you look at sunshine that your skin will never feel
Baby, do you miss the days before
Hope knocked on your door?
But you went and fell in love
And into you love fell
And it made you feel unwell
Oh well
There's a thing about people that I suppose is alright
It's when they smile right at their pain through all the day and night
The fool dies at the altar in a smile
Says "I'm moving to America
You won't see me for a while"
If I get the ferry over, will the fairies follow me?
Will they throw me to the sea?
We'll see
No fair
They can follow me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy where I like to be
I can live alone, alone, alone, alone
I fought
For the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
When the devil takes your soul
He does not care
If you're shot down like a dog
Or expired on the stairs
The boat is drifting in, the weight is cast
How can life go so slowly
And death come so fast?
Across the River Styx I'll row along
But I've got one more song
More song
More song
More song
T'excuse pas, c'est super gentil de ta part, merci!
😊😊
I’ve had to listen to this a few times. This live version is amazing. Thanks Grian for creating something exhilarating and inspiring
song`s been stuck in my head since my first listen, love it !

Never thought I would see Grian gone solo but this came out brilliantly 👏💕👏💕👏💕👏 Couldn't be prouder!
Grian’s voice is amazing.
He is just soooo good. Really gave it wellie! Must see him solo. Full way round in a criss cross cabbie with my head and my tongue hanging out. Grian is a genius❤❤
Lloro y se me ponen los pelos de punta cada vez que escucho esta canción. Y esta presentación en vivo es una obra maestra audiovisual.
One of my favourite videos on the Internet 😊😊😊

Well put, you are a poet yourself! Slainte.
Reminds me a little of the genius lyricism of Morrissey.
Hermosa y perfecta interpretación, como amo está canción. 🖤🔥👏
amazing artist
COME ON GRIAN!!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
This is top tier. Love the Bad Seeds-esque outro too.
Absolutely wonderful, can't wait for the in-store shows coming up. 🤩
At this point Grian and Fontaines have survived the hype and the way you tell is because you can't wait to see what they do next. Fantastic.
Wow, how good it is! Just stunning
Love music
There is nothing I wish for more than that he had of toured this album release.
Grian, please make my year and be one of the TBA acts at Glastonbury! 🔥
Hearing a bit of the fall my new house...love it
Absolute belter of a track and a great great album.
Spettacolo ❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️
Unbelievable talent. ❤
Lyrically stunning. Performed brilliantly

Super talentoso. Um divisor de águas
Exceptional. Just exceptional.
This is the most darkly magical Irish thing I’ve heard in my lifetime
Brilliant!
Malinconico..bellissimo .pogues,...e altro..❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome song.
Soooooo good❤
The man is a poet. This is good.
Great song. Reminds me of The Good, the Bad & the Queen.
So much going on but the Neil Hannon vibe in his voice really lures me in.
Just brilliant.
What a great tune
Awesome!
