love these guys, real music for once ya know? :) i mean i admit, i cant understand some other there song, but atleast this guy can sing, and instruments are being used,
Ezra actually looks like he is enjoying himself here! In my opinion, this right here is the best version of this song...much better than the album version! =)
It's fascinating: their style, their liyrics, their content, his voice. I really doubt one could ever compare this piece of art with anything else seen in the musical world *-*
@balisemusique You know mate i heard this song for the first time today on Radio 2 and i thought it was him or his son!!.....realy talented, love this song, Paul Simon style....
@kamscnerd True. The album version is so restrained and lacking in passion. This on the other hand is overflowing with energy, Ezra dancing like a mofo and Rostam shouting like his life depended on it.
hmmm ther'e live verson ok its not as good as whoa oh, shes a lady, catastrophe, and coffee break from Forever the sickest kids and were good live just sayin

Great stuff, it sounds like a blend between Killers, Tryo, Coldplay, REM - with a much more modern twist. I like. I'll look forward for more goodies from them in that same line.
I saw these guys for the first time at this very concert in the middle of two months travelling America!! Thank you so much for posting, this was an incredible night.
Wow dude have you ever heard something live before? Okay well you just keep listening to your cds and think that the band actually sounds like that before the computers come in.
