Monica Martin is such an incredible, natural and beautiful voice - and a complete match with Scary Pockets & Stories...these are funked up tracks and so addictive. We seriously NEED a Monica Martin/Scary Pockets collab. ALBUM as in yesterday. (Oh please, oh please!)
I have to agree ... I always enjoyed the featured vocals but this song with Monica sounds fully integrated and realized, as a band should be. Not just many great players together but a cohesive sound
Daniel and Tamir are always so tight and just thrive in the pocket. Love listening to these guys play together. Fantastic sound from everyone, I really really loved this.
Just discovered Monica a few weeks ago through her collaboration with Vulfpeck. I'd only heard her voice in that super mellow, smooth tone (where her performances are always stellar), but it's so amazing how she starts belting around 2:30-2:45. What a versatile voice!
One of my favorite songs by Monica. She's so fire I can't wait to see what else she produces in the future. Scary pockets never disappoints, per usual. Keep em comin yall!
Lyrics Heard you got remedy to really get it right this time Lady I think your guess is's good as mine Let go, breathe deep, sleep well through the night Smile at strangers, keep your eye on danger Fight the good fight Just like everyone before us You can take me to the river and drive me in, don't feel like waking up So make it up Make it up You warned us Hey, I'm not the only one who knew everything and di'n't 'preciate enough So I made it up 'couldn't make it up Am I thoughtless? Might as well be for the good that it does me now my cell is breaking up So go make it up So go make it up Not in the position to try and share a vision of what is good Can't leave my bed to put water in my body, though I easily could Throw my hands up in the air like I'm fake ashamed at every fuck-up that I've ever made Tell everyone I've turned the corner, but I'm walking straight Honestly, It's hard to miss, the glaring neon sign You know the one: today is the first day of the rest of your life In the dark waiting for it to begin We all know how our movie ends I think I'm living but it still feels false Dragging my body down velvet halls
Smooth vocals backed up by smooth jazzy brass. Smooth Pockets! Even the cinematography was particularly smooth this time. Nice timing of Tamir rocking that triangle lol.
I find something special about this song everytime I play it. It's been quite a while to enjoy a song repeatedly. Thank you ScaryPockets. It's so touching.
this tune just strikes me sooo hard everytime. have been listening and thinking about it for weeks since it came out it makes me see something sunset glowing with purple sky, leaving your bike laying on the meadow beside and just yourself thinkin about stuff: life, memories, loved ones, regrets and joy in a quiet breeze filled with dark birds flying across the tone of this song is just so right thank you monica and scary pockets
This is gorgeous!!! What a beautiful groove, great chords, instrumentation, so lush, it’s like being carried along for a ride....genius! I love her voice too...
Man, I LOVE this song! It’s crafted so expertly. Great players, Monica, the whole salami. I really really love the ten seconds from 2:46-2:56. Ryan and Daniel are linked up!
i started listening to this without headphones and i was "stop, start again and this time do it right" it worth the effort in every way possible (it's redundant to say but you guys rock the house up every time - or should i say that you guys FUNK the house? hahahaha)
I've got a pair of open-back sennheiser hd58x jubilees that I seriously need to put on right now, I've been following Monica's career for the last year and a half.
It's truthfully the mix, it's so on point, I can hear the individual instruments so clearly, even the smaller nuances that are lost in a muddy mix, it's gorgeous, and rightfully so, it deserves it.
What's insane is that this has thousands of views when you look at the millions of views that BS gets from other artists. This is clearly much, much better than 99% of music you hear on the radio....
I didn't think it would get better than the cover of Karma Police but this is a close second. Magic. Thank you for making my day (nay my [musical] life) better. (:

Have returned to this so many times - never disappointed, always thrilled.
Monica Martin is such an incredible, natural and beautiful voice - and a complete match with Scary Pockets & Stories...these are funked up tracks and so addictive. We seriously NEED a Monica Martin/Scary Pockets collab. ALBUM as in yesterday. (Oh please, oh please!)
I second this notion +1
I third that +2
So natural and beautiful
Monica is so freaking great, and that 441 is perf for her velvety voice. I realize this video has been up a min, but I still come back.
This arrangement is so damn good. It absolutely soars at 2:20 . I wish Monica would record an entire album with you guys!
It's the triangle, right?
@@BlockCylinder I've got a fever, and there's only one cure....
The swampy grind at the beginning gave me immediate chills. Her voice is amazing. Cracks, falsetto, rasp and that fluttery vibrato is so unique.
Constantly return to this video/song ... such brilliance.
Monica is without any doubt the most beautiful voice of Scary Pockets, maybe with India.
yeah i agree. india carney and monica are the best
Refreshing to hear Scary Jack tackle someone's (Monica's in this case) original composy. Kudos
2:22
Triangle hit sounds sooooo neat.
That drummer really knows his stuff..amazing!
Monica = beautiful voice and beautiful woman.
All musicians on point too. Bravo!
This is REALLY good. Her voice intertwines effortlessly with the guitars and horns. Such a great sound.
I've had this in my head the last month.
The triangle is magical.
Loving it. Every time Monica joins you guys, something magical happens.
I have to agree ... I always enjoyed the featured vocals but this song with Monica sounds fully integrated and realized, as a band should be. Not just many great players together but a cohesive sound
Everything she does is magic
this is incredible. monica martin has been on fire lately. i'm such a huge fan.
Knew of Monica from her collab with Vulfpeck, but today is the day I fell head over heels for her vocals and lyrics. MY SOUL IS NOURISHED!
Daniel and Tamir are always so tight and just thrive in the pocket. Love listening to these guys play together. Fantastic sound from everyone, I really really loved this.
Would LOVE a Monica Martin & Elise Trouw duet with Scary Pockets!
Just discovered Monica a few weeks ago through her collaboration with Vulfpeck. I'd only heard her voice in that super mellow, smooth tone (where her performances are always stellar), but it's so amazing how she starts belting around 2:30-2:45. What a versatile voice!
On point, I agree!
One of my favorite songs by Monica. She's so fire I can't wait to see what else she produces in the future. Scary pockets never disappoints, per usual. Keep em comin yall!
What a great voice!
Top nodge.
I always have to comment on Tamir - rock on man.
Yes! more monica martin!
Lyrics
Heard you got remedy to really get it right this time
Lady I think your guess is's good as mine
Let go, breathe deep, sleep well through the night
Smile at strangers, keep your eye on danger
Fight the good fight
Just like everyone before us
You can take me to the river and drive me in, don't feel like waking up
So make it up
Make it up
You warned us
Hey, I'm not the only one who knew everything and di'n't 'preciate enough
So I made it up
'couldn't make it up
Am I thoughtless?
Might as well be for the good that it does me now my cell is breaking up
So go make it up
So go make it up
Not in the position to try and share a vision of what is good
Can't leave my bed to put water in my body, though I easily could
Throw my hands up in the air like I'm fake ashamed at every fuck-up that I've ever made
Tell everyone I've turned the corner, but I'm walking straight
Honestly, It's hard to miss, the glaring neon sign
You know the one: today is the first day of the rest of your life
In the dark waiting for it to begin
We all know how our movie ends
I think I'm living but it still feels false
Dragging my body down velvet halls
Smooth vocals backed up by smooth jazzy brass. Smooth Pockets!
Even the cinematography was particularly smooth this time. Nice timing of Tamir rocking that triangle lol.
gotta agree. very smooth camera work
The way that Monica slides between her husky alto and her falsetto reminds me a bit of Joni Mitchell. Superb.
Oh, damn. You're so right. Now I want to hear her cover River!
She also reminds me of Imogen Heap.
I played it for my mom and she was convinced it was Sade.
Listen to "Love Is a Beautiful Thing" (Vulfpeck version), the way her falsetto slightly detunes like an analogue synth is like butter
She never falsettos once in this track. Please calm down. Its ok you like the track without making deep statements.
I find something special about this song everytime I play it. It's been quite a while to enjoy a song repeatedly. Thank you ScaryPockets. It's so touching.
Monica has such great control of her vocals and she's got a style thst keeps me fixed.
😍🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶😍
this tune just strikes me sooo hard everytime. have been listening and thinking about it for weeks since it came out
it makes me see something
sunset glowing with purple sky, leaving your bike laying on the meadow beside
and just yourself thinkin about stuff: life, memories, loved ones, regrets and joy
in a quiet breeze filled with dark birds flying across
the tone of this song is just so right thank you monica and scary pockets
beautiful work from the whole team once again.
Tamir!! What a groove man! So creative, really inspiring playing!
Can we just talk about the walking bass line in the bridge at 2:31 ? Adds a chilling tension to the lyrics, absolutely wonderful.
Totally addictive, really good stuff! Monica Martin, great voice, terrific lyrics. More songs please.
Putting it on repeat.
This is one of the best if the whole scary pockets catalog! Kick ass guitar and an awesome full sound with the piano!
Oh such a cool, inspiring sound. MM wins the internet every day.
This is my jam. For real. For real.
The way Ryan and Daniel look at Tamir at the very end
This is gorgeous!!! What a beautiful groove, great chords, instrumentation, so lush, it’s like being carried along for a ride....genius! I love her voice too...
Monica is so unique. Love her! Love Phox! Love, love Scary Pockets!!
How beautiful this song is and how beautiful this woman and her wonderful voice and talent. Best regards from Argentina, Buenos Aires.
Monica can do perfect with any group but you guys are sooo amazingly tight that this song is toooo perfect!
This is one of the dopest songs I've heard in a while...
such a silky voice.
I LOVE MONICA! YES! MORE OF HER PLEASE!
one of my top happy places on youtube :)
this is one of my favorites on the scary pockets channel. Props to Monica!
Just ridiculous! sick arrangements! and Monica!!! listened like 16 times in a row for good measure!
This song is a lifeboat.
Very nice with the sound and harmonic progressions of Phox. Divine voice, great bass.
Funk on Scary Pockets! Sorry I missed your L.A. show. Hope you guys have another L.A. show soon. ✌️😎🎷🎸🎺🎼
Man, Monica always kills! And you guys always have top notch players, but this... This rythm group is probably my favorite.
her voice is soo good.. dang
Man, I LOVE this song! It’s crafted so expertly. Great players, Monica, the whole salami. I really really love the ten seconds from 2:46-2:56. Ryan and Daniel are linked up!
i started listening to this without headphones and i was "stop, start again and this time do it right"
it worth the effort in every way possible (it's redundant to say but you guys rock the house up every time - or should i say that you guys FUNK the house? hahahaha)
Bruno Carnovale Amen!
I've got a pair of open-back sennheiser hd58x jubilees that I seriously need to put on right now, I've been following Monica's career for the last year and a half.
It's truthfully the mix, it's so on point, I can hear the individual instruments so clearly, even the smaller nuances that are lost in a muddy mix, it's gorgeous, and rightfully so, it deserves it.
That just sounds like you need better drivers/monitors/speakers my friend
The perfect song !!!!
Uow! You guys should do an album just with originals and this formation.
Man, feels all the way through. You lovely people making some beautiful music 😯
I'm in love with this!
the way they all smiled and looked at each other at the end tells me there's more to this recording haha
What's insane is that this has thousands of views when you look at the millions of views that BS gets from other artists. This is clearly much, much better than 99% of music you hear on the radio....
her voice wraps around me so tight, i can't move until she's done
Monica is awesome! Heard from her through Phox.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks to all of you for these 3:43 minutes of smiling...
Amazing arrangement Monica!!! Literal shivers listening to this.
She is an singing angel😍
AWESOME and I love the breaks
Love, love, LOVE!!!
This is good sh*t. How did I miss this? It's like I've been living without air.
I didn't think it would get better than the cover of Karma Police but this is a close second. Magic. Thank you for making my day (nay my [musical] life) better. (:
One of the best from you guys
That Senn 441 is perfect for her voice live, but wow, all of it sounds so good.
How to say you're a sound nerd without saying you're a sound nerd. But yeah, literally the same thing I think every time I listen to this.
Every one of you are outstanding!
A really great singer, beautiful voice,
Simply wonderful... Monica I love you!!!!
Best of them all!
15,000 of the 15,739 views are me. i'm sorry for skewing the stats, but this performance is just too good. everyone nailed it.
Guys, you're FUNKING awesome!
This is one of favorites thus far!!!! I LOVE this energy
espectacular!!! what a joy looking and listening to that song
Monica you are so AWESOME.
Amazing performance! Each and everyone. I am smitten
She has such an aesthetically pleasing voice!!!
I was esceptic for no reason. This is GREAT
An instant Scary Pockets classic. Love it!
This is absolutely tops amongst their work. Is this a cover or Monica tune?! Wow.
Anyone who likes this please go listen to her music. She has lots of great stuff and probably the most underappreciated vocalist around right now.
Outstanding and magical! Thanx.
it's awesome!
The little fright Ryan gets right at the start of the song : D. Holy shit we live!
and at the end...holy shit, its over!?
Love this! An original by MM, and worthy!
Amazing singing and drumming. Great arrangement.
Super singer, great work !
What a voice ! I love thons song !
So good. Love this performance!
Has nobody noticed the drum groove with the rim ghosts?? This groove is sitting atop that left hand
Barzilay is phenomenal
Definitely noticed it. Solid playing on this!
Mad town represent
beautiful, reaching a new level of beautifulness
I do love her voice! Great song!
This just got more impressive since I see the same set up from the Rozzi - Thank u, next set up! What a band.
