LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar,
And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

I know what you mean. The search for real talent is hard these days cause some douche had to create autotune. Not that's bad but a lot of people who have no reason to be involved in music have cause an issue. But this has especially effect concert performances. So this is a breath of fresh air.

You can do the same in acoustic, just because video says acoustic does not mean it is not touched or edited. Not saying this one is the case im just saying you cant really know for sure, find concert versions or any live preformances if you want to be 100% sure, and even then if they are skillful they can lipsync it

Most mics of this caliber could pick up even the softest of sounds. They have noise gates and things like that to pick up what you want them to. He definitely has a unique range and a powerful voice. Just you can hear that the mic's quality in the fact he doesn't move back or move forward to increase and decrease the pick up of the mic. He can just belt it and the mic will do the rest from the range he's at.
Damn, this song takes me all the way back to my young adult years. Back when I didn’t have a care in the world.
