Feist - Gatekeeper (Paris)

[ejloo]

I really dig the part she sang "Only to find that the love that they grew in the summer", mesmerising improvisation from the album version.

[xgusto]

I like so much this version... better than studio version

[yahoo9439]

This is the first I've heard of her. She has a beautiful voice.

[funkit22]

@yahoo9439 :)

[dontzenyourselfout]

...waa waa wee waa - la belle Feist out Dusty-es the divine Dusty herself - this is truly sublime melodic variation at its individual best. We are in the presence of real greatness here - half a million people can't all be wrong. Just beguilingly brilliant

[SugeBradley]

she sounds so damn sexy

[casadivetro]

sublime

[sayocean69]

@3:55 dude, that out of focus was not called for

[dvnpete]

Every time I hear this song, I cry. Back in March, I heard my aunt was terminal and had a short time to live. The news was devastating because she was there, as far back as my memory has held her, she was there brightening my families life.

I will always remember her smile, her ability to light up a room, to connect and motivate kids to go beyond and do something good for everyone. I miss my aunt very much and this song reminds me of her. Aheehee (thank you) Feist for the wonderful music.

[iiSABRINA]

She's so talented. -3

[DeadAliveWhoCares]

Now that's music!

[dudleycunningham]

Dusty Springfield looks down from heaven and says "Damn, girl!"

[Likesomany]

I got the hole audio of this session, btw I made my own album cover :D

[inv1sion]

@Likesomany Link please! I really would want to have this in mp3 form.

[ibnerd01]

@Likesomany Is the audio high quality? Would I be able to get it from you?

[TheTPSReports]

Something about husky voiced women who can sing....ughh, love it.

[ByeByeFreebird]

Perfect song and voice. AH. Really super amazing-

[biologicallyxbadass]

do me

[marcelocabral220]

why ends?

[honghangchen]

I like the song

what kind of ?jezz ？

[hyaenidae]

Leslie, please have my children.

[hyaenidae]

This song is perfect for flugal... and her voice is ambrosia.

[iarejoe]

what kind of guitar is that? The tone is orgasmic.

[hyaenidae]

@iarejoe I think it's a Guild. She's reputed to be obsessive about it's sound and supposedly worked for years to get that "orgasmic" tone.

[titusact4scene2]

@foliveira1982 Why don't you stop lying;you know you love it WOOOOWOOOOAAAAHHH is ambrosia for the ears!

[thesunflowerss]

it's wanderful, whole day can listen this song.. and it makes my mood better :)

[carol02086]

beautiful

[biancasp]

I found myself clapping at the end of this. ♥

[Milugan]

so suave...

[thienly]

oh. my. god

:')

[royalxanadu]

this is magical

[rasaecnai]

@royalxanadu magical indeed..hypnotic :D

if you smoke pot and listen to this you'd probably go to heights you've never been to...

[iTapatoo]

Потрясающе! 

[liviacolare]

This is even better than the studio version

[naddddddd91]

I really envy this crowd. They were treated to Feist at her absolute best. Gosh, she never fails to send shivers down my spine.

[ThaDeeStylee]

@naddddddd91 Shivers down the spine! Exactly!

[OdraudeLeugim]

AWESOME!

[81alfie]

With full responsibility i wish that i was that vocal microfone in front of her...

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[Seiketsuuu]

Feist sings hella good live!

[xoxo1067]

Amazing how there's probably no autotune whatsoever on her CDs.

[KRS1LEGEND]

lol gaykeeper

[lisarenedelgado]

Love the smooth instrumental mix with the sound of her voice.

[hohohee1]

i typed in gay porn and this is what came up ...

[Seg741]

@hohohee1 Was that a joke?....

[FjollaSheholli1]

I have a 3 month old baby and this song is her favorite. She even tries to sing along!

[Anassuir]

@FjollaSheholli1 Gorgeous X3 !

[andres1963]

@FjollaSheholli1 ooooooooooo......really?.....s­ome baby you got

[vlado544]

this is probably my favorite video on youtube

[Kefrayaaa]

just love it.

[South4TheSummer]

I love that part at the beginning when she looks like she is either praying or begging...... You can hear it in her voice too.

[pianjas]

pure beauty :)

[aprilch2002]

Awesome song!!!



[crodrigo]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar she is playing? Thanks!

[baltasar1965]

oh gott ist das schön

[Mshockingsia]

I'm from Canada I've winter here on and on and onn......This song is so beautiful and poetic, I love it. Meaning of the song is fairly clear-- time. The whole song is talking about how time changes people, and using seasons as a metaphor for love

[susantheindiegirl]

i just wanna be like her! she's got THE FEELING!! :D

[democrat10]

I want to make love to her voice.

[quirky383]

i've fallen in love, in love with this song. gosh, i love Feist's music. can't wait to see her in concert. i'd love to know when she's heading to NY.

[kathwoodstock]

what lovely playing by Bryden Baird! Beautiful!

[onedimpledcheek]

FUCK. YES.

[imatp]

this song sounds like it belongs to one of those sad scenes... when the girl is walking across the bridge in central park, thinking of all the things that happened before breaking up. :)

[rasaecnai]

@imatp a hallmark of a great song...it brings imagery in your 'mind's eye' when you listen. only few musicians can do that... pink floyd is another example :D

[kdsfvhjkas]

oooooaaaaaaah :)

[kdsfvhjkas]

ooooooaaaaaaaah...it's making me singing with them :D

[wifi232]

that flugelhorn is so mellow...and this is much better than the album.

[livinfast]

soooo lovely

[MrJuha82]

I don't know this lady, artist.

OK music, gets my mind for good feelings.

[sekarjoewono]

this girl is golden.

[LPGize]

that's it so...

[nocnocvienna]

better than the album version imo!

[HippieBatman]

11 dislikes? wtf.

she's amazing.

[avstvs]

i realy like 2:45 to 2:50. she's amazing!

[Biggestmutemathfan]

I just Fell in love with my computer screen... holy crap that was amazing

[santagostina]

[mlynn02]

[ahmadaz96001]

love everything with this live version.... perfect in every single way

[18e45]

Beautiful Voice. Angelic Voice. Oohhhh God :))))))

Feist... we love you!

[ilovemutemath]

out of complete impulse, at the end, I'm like, "woooooh! that was sexy."

[pinaygirl10]

Feist's studio recording can't be compared to her live performances. She's just makes already great songs amazing when she sings them live.

[jeterlover03]

awesome song and this video sucks....

[jeterlover03]

@jeterlover03 ....I'm sorry I can't resist the opportunity to be a smart ass....anyway..I never knew how well of a live performer she is. She has a really rich live sound....very different then how I thought she would be. I like the first line the best. 1:08-1:17.

[Rachelxindie]

i love feist!

that voice aaaah!

[ganjaking187]

me + bong + this song = awesome lol

[Brieeeeeel]

great! great! great!

[JamesLovesSmurfs]

[diddlybop]

My god this is beautiful

[ericyoahan]

[kevintrawick]

@ericyoahan Guild Starfire

[aiminglow]

[Gangstamong]

[SebryBG]

@Gangstamong lol yes.. anyway beautiful song and this voice..

[111dogon555]

she is sooooo beautiful!

[johnthirteenmusic]

[TessieTee]

[adwantogo]

[vaynsia]

[perryham]

[phinneysean]

[rokrkim]

[miraclegrace]

[fr3dfun]

the xylophone gives me a boner

[timpaniman71]

@fr3dfun it's not a xylophone...

[MaryMacka]

xylofon <3<3<3

the gretest live video ever!

[livinfast]

@hohohee1 HAHAHAHA

[0263017]

gatekeeper is time. 'seasons wait for your nod'. you enter a relationship in the summer, not the physical june-july-august summer, but that time where you're falling in love and everything is easy. then time goes past. passions grow cold, they freeze, and they die.

so you move on. you tell yourself, "Don't be fooled by that summer again." but it's really just a matter of time.

beautiful song, by the way.

[jammiefannie]

hohohee-----> you typed either "gatekeeper" or "feist" in order to watch this and comment..so you obviously like gatekeepers or feist.

Also... If you can;t find the meaning of her use of the word in the song then don;t listen to her

[0263017]

nice. i like your comment jammie.

[thebigskeet]

i like at 3:49, she kind of missed the mic

[hohohee1]

what da fuck does gatekeeper mean

[ojaya15966]

chance & opportunity

[mrconbic]

ur fuuunny

[yichunashley]

wonderful voice

[avecpulp108]

brilliant!

[Tarusch]

wunderbar!

[mantisman51]

She uses it for alot of vocal effects. She uses some sort of distortion amp with it.

[moldyphotocoals]

Anyone know why she almost always has the other mic there?

[xgusto]

i loved this song

[epi8]

Was she praying at the beginning there?

[EssieLeGeek]

no, she was begging the crowd to sing along.

[mstuart1988]

"* If you feel compelled to comment, please try to think of something interesting to say. Remarks like "awesome song" and "this video sucks" are about as useful as another jittery, distorted, 22 second camera-phone clip of Feist performing 1234 in [YOUR TOWN HERE]. Thank You. "

very good point to include in your description.we need more uploaders like yourself, headstrongpictures.does anyone know of any tour dates for feist, it's pretty vague online.her site says none. i refuse to believe that.

[bigpowerfulpeople]

this makes me want starbucks and a book

[djkross123]

such an amazing, amazing song.

[fomomoto3]

much as I love the quirkie sense of humor and her apparent desire to not take herself too seriously, the variety of feels she brings to her music, and fresh instrumentation palette, it is her ability to literraly reinvent the sound of any of her songs with every appearance that grabs my attention. I just wish she could release all of the versions of the tunes. Thanks to the youtube folks who continue to post these various interpretations.

[wtfmate231]

i didnt think that song could get anymore beautiful than it already was! between feist's honey voice and mr. baird i thought i was going to melt! positively gorgeous!

[RevelShock2007]

Perfect Performance!

[LittleMissPancake]

This song is beautiful :).

<3

[BrighteyesTele]

so amazing

[cocacolacompany1]

need basedrum

[MSGsteve]

she is more hipster, hippie than grace slick.

[giselediaz]

:) Grace was the craziest woman in the world. I like them both tough

[NakedCreep]

Feist is more Jazzy and Mellow and Grace Slick was a druggy with a deep interest in Alice in Wonderland.

Both had great inspirations but hardly comparable.

I love the punk side of Feist too.

In laymans terms; They're both fucking awesome.

[JuliaWasHere]

She's so amazing. I love her voice, it's a bit rustic with some amazing peaks. It's natural, silky, and deep during some of her high notes. She's got this lustrous look and a marvelous talent, I want to see some more CD's. You've got a gift, girl, use it to your advantage--Don't let it escape you. You go Leslie!

Much love from New York!

[musmetzevenpoten]

ah - never loses its beauty :)

[maimrozek]

Really wonderful!

Thank you!

[rabbler0user]

to have a voice like feist's...

do you have to be born with that smoky, sultry quality?

[vincentp2002]

yeah... unfortunately. and fortunately... if everyone had this voice it wouldnt as unique as it is

[rabbler0user]

ah~ too bad for me then :)

glad there's one feist in this world

[carolulystar]

lovely song =)

[zoomzipboom]

well i dont know about singing like her but i am sure that you could find that you have a lovely sing voice. practice practice practice. i used to not sing very well and had horrible breath control and it just wasnt very good at all. but i practiced a lot, and i learned how to use my voice. now people tell me that i have an amazing and beautiful voice. :D good luck to you.

[LoadingBar4123]

Love this song (and in an effort to make this comment more "unique")

Does anyone know what type of guitar she is playing? (I know its acoustic but it looks and sounds different, is it a certain type or something?)

Thanks

[berries1011]

It looks like a parlor guitar to me, but I'm not sure :\

[LoadingBar4123]

Thanks, I appreciate it! :)

[hesquiteaguy]

Correct - It's a Framus acoustic parlor guitar, model 00110 (German made)

It's the player who makes it sound unique.

[LoadingBar4123]

Wow, thanks a lot. You really know your stuff! Cheers

[brondo1012]

WOW!!!! her control is ridiculous!!

[MizzClaire323]

Lovvvvviiin this!!!

[mallli19]

love this song!!!

[dominickalodean]

[stawbewii]
