A couple years ago I wrote a letter to Half Moon Run's tour manager explaining that their show in Toronto was also the anniversary of me and a then girlfriends relationship. The concert was sold out, but tour manager Franz came through and left tickets at will-call. Best band I've ever seen live. I would see them every day.
I watched this 10 years ago over and over and over. I was a teenager then, and just totally obsessed with the musicality of this song. A decade later I finally remembered the name of the band and looked it up on TH-cam. Still fucking slaps and I still know the words. Can't believe it's been a decade and still goes so hard.
Even now, 4 years after I first heard it, I will still sometimes wake up with this song stuck in my head. It's quite unique - I've not heard anything quite like it before or since.
I cant believe how amazing they are. Ive never instantly fell in love with a band before. Heard one song on spotify and had to listen to all of their songs immediately, just wow.

This is the first album I have bought in recent memory that I absolutely love every track. Watching them perform live is only confirms what an incredibly talented group they are.
Just saw Half Moon Run in Squamish BC Canada this past weekend. Very impressed with these fellows. They can all sing, perfect harmony. And the one guy was playing keyboard, drums, and harmonica, and sings. Personable, good stage presence, great music, and very talented. Surprised they are not famous yet. At the end of their show we called them back for an encore, and they used one mic and sang a Neil Young song so perfectly, great way to end the show. Keep up the good work Boys ! A new fan from Squamish.
I played this song, and a few others by Canadian artists for a group of American Friends in an on-line social environment, and they were dumbfounded. One summed it up perfectly when he said; "Why have we NEVER heard this on our radio? It's incredible." I played for them Buffy Saint Marie "You've got to run", "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot [That one left them speechless], Fortunate Ones "River to the Sea", K-os "Crab Bucket", and "Mission Bells" by Armistice. They were completely blown away by the "Unique Sounds" of Canadian [and First Nations] music. It's a pity that we are so close, and we DO get all the American artists, but they seem so protectionist in not being willing to give our music a chance on their media. They REALLY don't know what they are missing.
The opening note on this song still gives me chills after hearing it for well over a year now. These amazing young men have found a formula that causes instant addiction. Love them!!
This band are fricking amazing. I have been listening to this album since they first released it and only found out what they looked like today lol. Music speaks for itself. Good live performance boys 👌
Watch this band come to the mind of the masses over the next 6 weeks as a game gets massive exposure, Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag, the marketing people have really nailed the trailer and this song is simply awesome. It would be great at any time but with a global marketing campaign behind it I really hope they make it, they are so, so good, I'm nearly fifty and this song opened my ears to what superb talent there is out there...
Simple and touching, It has every thing to put your mind floating for a while... those 4-5 second of guitar is where you take off. That's a nice example for the power of simplicity.
This guy is drumming, playing the keys and signing all at once! absolutely unreal ability!!

I met him at the continental breakfast at the hotel we happened to be staying at. Cool dude, he put us on the list for will-call tickets too!
Just saw them in Victoria BC. Still just as good 👍
Stunning, what a great live performance..awesome band...and im 53 years old...always new bands to discover ...music is a joy.
... I´m 55 and agree with ya ... btw ended here upon listening to another outstanding artists : Angus & Julia Stone ....
53? Pah, you'll still have a great taste in music at 73 I'm sure. We've got this far eh?
"Music is the best"
-Frank Zappa
I hope you’re still finding new music to enjoy! I just found this amazing performance.
I swear, I've never seen or heard anything like it. I'm stunned. The true definition of perfection.
I swear, these performances are flawless! They are so tight and polished, it's mesmerising 👌🏼
Saw them live a few days ago. It's one of the tightest band I've ever seen live. They're going to go far, mark my words.
why just why aren't these guys mega famous
Safiyyah Da silva the reason is simple... not mainstream pop and it's totally fine
True.. i guess its fine to keep it that way! i had the privilege of seeing them live. They just aren't appreciated enough
Fame is not the goal
@@quinoamoongandalf8658 i agree, however they are still underrated
Right?

Watching this ten years later, and they seem to have not aged a day. And they still sound amazing, if not better!
ive been listening to this songs for YEARS but i didnt see this video until recently and WOW. They are absolutely amazing.
Even now, 4 years after I first heard it, I will still sometimes wake up with this song stuck in my head. It's quite unique - I've not heard anything quite like it before or since.
It kept me awake almost the whole last night🤫
Drummer and keyboard player at the same time. I have never seen such :)))
And they say men can't multitask
and he's singing! ridiculous man
Men can multi task...with tasks that they want to do!!
I was talking about the combination, not the ability.
I was talking to Thomas.
His voice is very powerful. Half moon run's songs are fresh and new apart from the songs you hear today.
I cant believe how amazing they are. Ive never instantly fell in love with a band before. Heard one song on spotify and had to listen to all of their songs immediately, just wow.
+JS Dupuis LOL I live in Montreal! I can't get tickets to any of their shows in april, because I just discovered them :( but i might go to osheaga!!!
+JS Dupuis Québécois (french): Moi aussi, je suis du coin de Montréal et j'aurais aimé acheter des billets pour eux!! Mais ça se peut que j'aille à Osheaga, cette année. :)
love this band from Canada - saw them live in Hyde Park when my daughter was their manager! beautiful and soulful music
Julie Hunt london hyde park?
This is the first album I have bought in recent memory that I absolutely love every track. Watching them perform live is only confirms what an incredibly talented group they are.
I want this song to play while I'm dying.
from what, a drug overdose? because thats what this song is about
When the time comes, as it will for all of us, try and think of it, if you can.

I become mesmerized every time I watch this. So, so good.
That voice, OMG, and then these voices together, OOMMGG
Beautiful is an understatement
That concentration on their faces.They really want to get that right and they killed it.Sooooo Goooood.Perfection
Obviously I need to see these guys live, because wow.
God I've been in love with this song for a weeks now, it's so perfect.

They REALLY don't know what they are missing.
This song is unbelievably soothing to my ears, and I keep thinking of the sea...
Ugh. One of my all time favourite live things ever. Eargasmic...
This is just so beautiful.
The opening note on this song still gives me chills after hearing it for well over a year now. These amazing young men have found a formula that causes instant addiction. Love them!!
Chills… love it every time I hear it 🙏🏽
After all these years, still magical. Epic song, epic performance !
I want to marry his voice..............
LOVE the tone
Far out these guys are ALL ridiculously talented.
this song is just soooooo beautiful and relaxing...could watch this over and over again
This band are fricking amazing. I have been listening to this album since they first released it and only found out what they looked like today lol. Music speaks for itself. Good live performance boys 👌
One of the best live versions of anything ever.
I love how when the lead singer starts looking nervous his friends pick him back up and he looks so happy when they do :)
#teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Montreal has some fantastic musicians , so lucky to have them .
unbelieveble..music from the heart!!!awesome!!
Amazing!one of the few bands that actually sound right live!
Watch this band come to the mind of the masses over the next 6 weeks as a game gets massive exposure, Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag, the marketing people have really nailed the trailer and this song is simply awesome. It would be great at any time but with a global marketing campaign behind it I really hope they make it, they are so, so good, I'm nearly fifty and this song opened my ears to what superb talent there is out there...
It sounds exactly like music video even when it's live that's how u know they're good

They are brilliant.
I believe they are the next great band! Canadian Gem.

This music is sheer bliss. Thanks so much, I think they sound far better live. The studio version is stunning but this is out of this world.
This is one of the most incredible live performances I've ever seen
such a great song/performance
Wonderfull song. I hope they will visit The Netherlands soon.Ten out of ten I would visit that show😊
seamless live studio performance, a joy to watch
I've got lost in these 3 half moon run videos. These voices are just like piece from paradise.
Aw they're such sweethearts, beautiful music
perfection
This band is simply freaking amazing
they're tons of "BBC sessions" on Yt and everytime i'm amazed by the sound quality
that guitar tone is so soothing.
They are incredible live. They opened for Metric a year ago and it was beautiful. They were so captivating.
Simple and touching, It has every thing to put your mind floating for a while... those 4-5 second of guitar is where you take off. That's a nice example for the power of simplicity.
So very talented, superb artists
Hauntingly beautiful with a dagger touch
This is absolutely perfect and these guys are just amazing!
Saw them live yesterday at the St. Augustine Stopover. They were incredible live. Beautiful work
