I'm not gonna lie. When I first heard listener I thought it was the biggest joke in the world. Just talking over nonsensical beats. However he held my attention and I slowly got sucked in. Now I realize how artistic his lyrics really are and how passionate this is. Wow it's fucking really good.
listener is great. his voice is unique and his lyrics are powerful. i really like the instrumental in this song in particular. anybody got a suggestion towards another band with similar instrumentals??? i just love the energy.
@MushroomDetox actually it is live audio. what listener does for live shows is chris will play guitar and dan will talk and sometimes play bass, and chris brings his laptop which has the other recorded instruments on it. they'll play those over some speakers and just play their instruments over it. it sounds just like any other live perfomance just without an actual drummer or bassist.
I agree with you viridian, if it wasnt for "david de la hoz" by the chariot, i would have completely had a hole in my music soul bc i would have miss mr. dan smith and his listener project
Man, hate when I drive to school, got stuff like this blasting, chilling, people look at you like wtf kind of music is that, while they blast their shitty mainstream rap R&B shit. >.>

she's alone, and surrounds herself with loners her life is a loan, lent out to anyone who will own her, so she rests now and lives tomorrow,
but before that she needs to get the other's two cents (two sense) they allow her to borrow,
she sleeps inside her mind for it is a home that was heaven sent,
though to her disadvantage she fails to pay the rent.
More and more the cost rises never to reach the least,
she hates to understand the cost of a haven was too much for her to lease...
