Once I found an acoustic version of this song with no distortion in the later portion of the song, just him, the guitar and the potent lyrics. It was (in my opinion) the best version of the song I have heard, and now I can no longer find it........HELP!
@ffmattsk8 Thanks, but there was a studio recording of it... First time I heard this song was on GrooveShark and I heard that version, I have checked GrooveShark since then and that version is no longer up there.
@Mormegil22 Yeah that's my fav also. Its a slower tempo too. I think it was just a demo track to the Brothers Blood album. I have it though, so if you still don't have it send me a message and I wouldn't mind emailing it to you.
Not only is this just a great song by Mr. Devine, it makes me think of Brand New and Modest Mouse having a musical baby- and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Kevin and the Manchester Orchestra dudes have a new band called Bad Books, just got their album today!! Spin.com has their new video You Wouldn't Have to Ask too!
I love how straight forward the video is. No need to interpret, just depictions for each line. It makes the song even more powerful than it already is.
I highly suggest that everyone go see Kevin Devine and The Goddamn Band, if you haven't already. I saw them last night and it was my first expierience hearing them. If you like the recordings, you really need to hear it live because they bring a whole new energy. It was really somethin else.
pretty literal video but its all i can think of for this song. i think it'd be a bad video if kevin and the goddamn band were rocking out in a meat factory or a fridge or some self indulgent crap.
awesome!
