Men I Trust - Break for lovers (live)
Three weeks ago we took some time off to record a few live sessions. Here's "Break For Lovers", a track from our album Headroom (2015). We hope you'll enjoy it :-)

Lyrics:
Let’s lay down our masks,
And be true
So that our eyes
Be bound in affection
Aware of our lust,
And our shared trust
We can know each other
Hear nature’s words
My dear friend
But let’s not talk this through (I used to)
Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
We ought to be lone, my home’s your own
Until we have each other we’re strangers
I know there’s a reason
We use such curves
Riddles in smiles
Rather than small talk
I know we both want
Things to be done
In a truthful manner
Hear nature's words
My dear friend
Let’s not talk this through (I used to)
Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
We ought to be lone, my home’s your own
Until we have each other we’re strangers
Let’s not talk this through (I used to)
Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
We ought to be lone, my home’s your own
Until we have each other we’re strangers

Can you feel the wind in your headphones? beautiful
Love the outdoors ambience of this particular version. The sparse punch of the drum machine beautifully accentuates Emma's gorgeous vocals and the accompanying instruments. 10/10! A true MIT classic.
"Let's lay down our masks and be true." One day... when the pandemic is over.
I will never tire of this song. That sexy bass line, the ethereal keys & guitar, Emma's hauntingly undertoned voice... c'est parfait. Long words widen gaps between lovers, ain't that the truth!
The quality of their sound is incredible, props!

it's called having enough money to buy a vintage fender deluxe reverb, ampeg bass cab with TWO seperate heads for that excessive bass, vintage analog synths from the 80's which nowadays can stretch anywhere from 400-3000 £'s or $'s depending on what side of this earth you reside, a full fat fender P bass and a vintage 62 jazzmaster.... all that gear alone comes to roughly 7/8000 on top of that just to really rub salt into the wound she has a £1500 interface just chilling on the table, an apogee quartet... throw in obvious pedals and so on and in total we're looking at a nice 10-15,000 pound setup all in this one video alone.... that's how they manage to get this quality of sound... PHEW that was exhausting and before anyone comments YES I DEFINITELY DEFINITELY HAVE GEAR ENVY

@@moussetache1815 every chord is an open 7 apart from the a... couldn't get any musically easier if you tried you only need 3 fingers to play any chord in this song 😂 it's really easy to make simple chords sound good when you're doing it through very expensive hardware... nothing that hasn't been done before is it?

the only musicianship in this vid is the bass player! there's a drum machine playing a break and the rest like i say is 3 finger magic... but of course no-one will praise the bassist amongst such an eclectic frontwoman... 🤦♂️

@@toraimanchester4658 I get your point but I do make a distinction between musicianship and technique (which is important of course). I mean, Black Sabbath and James Brown are among my favorite examples when it comes to pure music that doesn't necessarily demand the greatest skills. I'm French and one of the translations I get for musicianship is: "sense of music". I met many people who were far better than me technically but who could feel nothing and couldn't produce something worth of interest. Very expensive hardware will never make musicians better or more interesting, although of course mastering them offer more possibilities. On the other hand, lack of means often result in great inventivity and use of the few resources that are available. But I am a bit jealous of their hardware too to be honest ;)
I CANT BELIEVE THIS ASTONISHING PERFORMANCE IS LIVE
this band is a hidden gem that i stumbled upon one day, and although selfish, i hope no one else finds it so it can be a little secret

The wind in the background goes so well with the song, it sounds like it's a part of it! Great live performance!

I love the fact that you guys put the lyrics into your videos. I feel so much more connected to the music and to the content and this time it just hit me, because what this song is talking about speaks for a situation I have with somebody ... who I truly care about. Thankyou for that, my dear friends!
The sound at 1:45 , seems like it is coming from the fraction of leaves the breeze is causing.If it is, then it is beautiful.
The dreamy vocals and the background is all in perfect sync. What a magical moment
2:06 absolute chillssss
Amazing bassline! The velvet voice.
Around 01:40 you can hear the wind... Coming back to this year after year, it's outstanding.
This is the light of a person's whole life.
half of these “live” versions sound better than the album versions...

The whole sound and aesthetic of this production wow -- Men I Trust keeps giving me 'other planet' vibes
"But let's not talk this through (I used to), 'cause long words widen gaps between lovers" Beautiful. 10/10 Love the setting of the video, by the way!
Your live videos feel so natural. Just like it happens right in front of you. Thanks for your great songs and such a gorgeous footage.
