I was about to come say the same damn thing. Everything I've heard by this band is killer! But all those vocals on the acoustic-ish version. Man. I'm confident I'm insecure, another killer phenomenal song they do.

These guys are awesome! My band was lucky enough and we got to open for them at a tiny show in Waco Texas the day after they filmed their Jimmy Kimmel show. Definitely some of the nicest people out there

@Anthony Garza I enjoyed your performance, thank you!

Clyde was a real prodigy from a young age, writing music as a kid. Both his and Gracie's voices are INCREDIBLE. Every time they release something new it's always a banger

Their cover of "it's gonna be me" from this same live session and their cover of "get busy" by Sean Paul are both so fascinating and hit hard.

As a lover of all types of music these guys are perfect. Aspects of classic Billy Joel, gospel, jazz, Earth Wind and Fire, with Gracie who is just ridonkulous. Way too much talent and musical passion in one group.

I’ve been on the Lawrence train for years. If memory serves Clyde wrote the theme song that’s featured in the movie Miss Congeniality when he was five. Super talented brother and sister. The rest of the band is not too shabby either. If you wanna continue your journey i highly recommend you check out Melt. Like Lawrence they are also a young up and coming New York City soul pop band. They have 2 female powerhouses in the band. Lead vocalist Veronica Stewart and lead guitar player Marlo Shankweiler.

I’d agree melt bangs

A trick with gospel/jazzy passing tones: when in doubt, if it's not chromatic movement try to treat the target chord as the "I" for a moment and think of the two passing tones as a "ii -> V " and it'll probably be a "ii -> V -> I ". It isn't always the case but it can get you in the ball park more often than not

YOutube algorithm must be showing Lawerence some love. I just discovered them a month or so ago and man her and their tones blow me away. Glad they got your treatment.

Well earned and long overdue. These guys are amazing.

"I'm gonna get beat on here" lolololo, way to power though the challenge. @ Michael, you kick ass brother. Your teaching style is fantastic...zero ego and easy to understand. I appreciate that you don't have perfect pitch as the magic is in the problem solving. I'm a git grad as well and "logical guesses based upon theory" is how I approach these things.

NO FREAKING WAY!! You reviewed this?! I’m SO happy you found them. Started following this band back in 2016, saw them in Minneapolis in 2018 with 150 people. Glad they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve!

This is exactly how I sound talking to my kids about every Lawrence song comes out with. I am an instant fan of your reaction!

I am so excited for this! Just watched Don't Lose Sight (Acoustic) today and my head exploded. Have loved this band for years, but there's even more new stuff since last I really sought them out. Excited for your reaction. BRING THE ENERGY! :D

So glad you got discovered these guys. Gotta watch the Live acoustic version w/ their background singers that absolutely rips!

i friggin love your channel Micheal. exposed me to some cool stuff my man. thank you. peace brotha

Great band all of them are awesome players and great voices both of them

I first saw/heard them with Scary Pockets. She’s amazing.

I'm a drummer....long time drummer but really enjoy you site. And REALLY enjoy your assessment of Lawrence; they are CRAZY good and in person will leave you drained.

Clicked on this in seconds. Disappointed it wasn’t that live gospel version thanks for figuring out all those chords for me. Now it’s my turn.

Another thought... how often have we seen a vocalist cross their fingers and PRAY to make a leap to a high note once in a song? But Gracie is hitting it on EVERY chorus... (the "So I tell myself when I sleep at night" lyric at 6:45). Don't mean to fanboy, but everything about this song is locked in!

Saw these guys in MA! Incredible show, so awesome.

Great band, Hotel TV is a great album, they have a show opening for Goose soon and I'm stoked to go see them both.

Got the chance to photograph them in DC a few weeks ago; this song lit the whole venue up. Such an unerrated band

Powerful voice!

Awesome breakdown!

Love it...awesome groove

They use a lot of secondary dominants - the dominant chords leading to different degrees in the scale. Used a lot in Jazz but also in all sorts of genres, like for example A7 to Dm (Vi degree in F).

YES IM SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO THEM

7:38 I don't have any instruments here to check, but it seems to be a Csus2, played as a Bb/C, that's a chord keyboard players love to use

Great band!

Saw them live in portland last year! They are killer

The drummer is total fire!!!! That break he plays.

They were definitely on a Tuesday show - I went down the rabbit hole the next day.... good call MP, cheers!

saw them as a support act for the norwegian genius Jarle Bernhoft 5 years ago, they weren't that famous back then, funny to see them breaking through now! Awesome group!

I love Lawrence!

Going to see Lawrence opening for Jonas Bros in Albany tomorrow. And I grew up just down the road from SPAC. Used to walk to concerts through the woods.

If anyone watching this is still wondering, here's the correct chords for the song. Understandably hard to find out on the fly like this. F to A7 (explains the C#) Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 Then the hard to find tones in quick motion: F9 and the bass moves to B real quick Bbmaj7 Aaug Dm7 F#dim Gm7 to Bb/C to finish Good luck practising

I appreciate you so much !

Thanks so much for this video!!

Mike, love your channel. What you’re talking about at the end there is a bit how I define art. There needs to be a separation of ART & CRAFT. The level of craft you have helps you communicate the art that is in your brain. Sometimes, like Dylan, you only need the art, but every now and then you see both in full display in one performance. Love it!

Caught most of their set at Sweetwater 420. Super fun set.

Can I ask how many times you've been asked to do the Bohemian/Freebird/Any Prince solos? Lmao I assume it's often. Also Clyde is a MASTER producer/arrangeist if that's how you put it. They way he can arrange a song into something completely different, but also just as funky... ugh love them. Want to see them Live so bad

Gracie Lawrence is like Diana Prince/Wonder Woman... she's unassuming and then all of sudden that voice and that range blast out. Amazing!

Please do more Lawrence vids I SAID PLEASE

These are standard jazz/ gospel progressions. Secondary dominants. Each chord has either a dominant or subdominant passing chords. Great vocals.

Groovy band, incredible voice on the singer. I actually found out about these guys from a laptop commercial or something, haha. They’re awesome, though.

Yeah that version dominates but not having guitar, bass, horns, etc... I can see why he went with this version. There's definitely more to unpack. On the other hand, the stripped down keys and vocals of the acoustic version is even more impressive IMO

The Db is a diminished chord they use it a lot in Jazz and Soul

Jon Bellion discovered Lawrence and signed them to his label. He also helps write and produce a lot of their music. I definitely suggest checking him out. You won’t be sorry

Great band. If they are living out of one van, phew!

Ok so i made my first comment at the beginning of the clip, but seeing now how much you enjoyed it, YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK OUT RIPE! Listen to the song Caralee it'll blow your mind!

Please blind react to Sleep Token - ‘Hypnosis’ An offering from II. This group is phenomenal! Every one of their songs is pure magic.

Awesome watching a fellow musician react to this just like I did when I stumbled upon it. Man music has changed so much over the years, the really good stuff is hidden in the alleys of the internet. Like, how is this not the stuff EVERYONE is listening to and talking about? I don't get it. Prediction, this band won't be secret for long.

That chord at the end of the progression is a Bbmaj/C x3x331

Thus song reminds me of the first time i ever got with a freaky chic. Looked like ever other girl i had been around, but when the time came..... It kinda intimidated me, but i easily fell in love with it....bah!! What a great song

It's A major. It's not in key, it's a III Major chord.

Can u teach me but I’ve never picked up a guitar in my life

Hi Michael, you asked for Guitarists to consider for these fine Guitargate videos so here is something different, a direction I've not seen you venture into so far. Jeff Boyle is the guitarist of the band Jakob, a NZ band who have toured the states, Europe and Aussie. Jeff uses an alternate tuning.

Yes, I got the better version on one of your lives. It's SO much better, look for it! Just go by the views.

She has a really good voice but I’ve never been a fan of the shrill high register that sounds strained! Sometimes less is more! The song is catchy,though!

Stolen from another Lawrence video: Clyde laughs like Seth Rogan but sings like John Mayer

Respect the talent and artistry. But those falsetto notes are like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

D&Co most overrated band of all time

Singing is so over the top that I stopped listening after 3 seconds.

OMG... worst ear training ever... gah... You can't even hear the difference between Am7 and A7?!! Facepalm...
