Request a REACTION

In the spirit of the modern singer-songwriter with amazing storytelling chops, try this one on for size. This guy is something else. You could pick a dozen songs from him, but I found this video thought it was perfect to share.

Hello Michael,

I love your react vids (especially the ween ones). I have listened to this band called Big Thief for a number of years, and I've always loved the honesty and true heart they pour into their music and performances (they make indie rock music). In this performance, Addrianne (Lead Singer/Guitarist) can't remember the words at the start of the song. However, the band stays in the moment, and I think the result is actually something greater than if they had simply played it correctly. I would love for you to share your thoughts, not only on this performance, but on your own experience performing, and what to do if things don't go exactly according to plan. I think it could make for a good teaching moment/interesting video.

Anyways, thank you for reading all of this, this band means a lot to me, and I hope you enjoy.

Thank you,
-Alec

I see your Dawes and I raise you Madison. I truly believe she is the real deal - one of the best singers and songwriters of the next generation. This song was written after the death of the her Grandmother (Raechel) and it captures something so beautiful.

One of the greatest things you come across, when searching for new music to listen to, is to find great young talent with beautiful performances, spreading the joy of music and playing together for the whole world. These kind of videos make me feel that music is in safe hands in the future. It's not all going to be just generic pop. Heartwarming stuff 👍❤️
