Kevin Devine

[theguy77]

[has a Goddamn band]

what do you guys think?

they're my favorite mellow/semi-acoustic band with the exception of death cab. well i call the genre softcore but thats my own little thing.

[heartsynapse]

I really enjoy this man. Ballgame is one of my all-time favorite songs.

[theguy77]

kevin devine/brand new/manchester orchestra. 12 people on that stage playing holland. in-fucking-credible. and then there were like 16 playing welcome to bangkok at the end of BN's set :)

[theguy77]

I really enjoy this man. Ballgame is one of my all-time favorite songs.

yeah mine too, but put your ghost to rest completely pwns most albums out there.

[theguy77]

"yeah, when you realise it's a pattern, and not a phase, it's what you've become, and it's what you will stay. that's the ballgame."

[theguy77]

yeah. it only makes sense that kevin and jesse are longtime friends, if you ask me they're the best lyricists out there by a longshot.. no one comes close.

[theguy77]

hahahah that line was perfect for me the end of last year. my girlfriend broke up with me, and we were pretty serious, so i was feeling like shit, but then shes bipolar and had to deal with being kicked out of her house and guys taking advantage of her when shes drunk (which is much her fault, but still) and a most of her friends stabbing her in the back and yeah.

[heartsynapse]

That is such a great song.
Mmm, indeed.

yeah mine too, but put your ghost to rest completely pwns most albums out there.
I haven't gotten into Put Your Ghost To Rest as much as I have his other albums. I'm not quite sure why, but I do enjoy it.

[m_rue]

Yes one of my favorites.
Ballgame and Longer That I'm Out Here are two of my most favorite songs ever. He deserves so much more credit.

[theguy77]

I always feel stupid for feeling bad about life because it's is so comfortable and that line sums it up well.

yeah i mean i just complain about how shitty southern maryland is and about how complacent i am here and how i dont really care much for the people here and how i feel empty, but then i look at how im living in middle class and have the ability to eat to my fill 4 times a day and i have 3 guitars and two keyboards and an amazing computer and a stereo and a big TV and a lot of people that care about me and a nice, air conditioned house while people in africa are starving and getting raped and catching diseases and living in huts and walking 6 miles every night to go sleep in mass in warehouses and lost all their family and shit. so yeah.

[blahme]

[m_rue]

[MIKEY_HORROR]

So bring your flask, and bring your cross and bring your gun

[odizzle_word]

His headlining show at the Knitting Factory a few months ago blew my mind. Fucking incredible performer.

[m_rue]

I was supposed to see him in April with Brand New but couldn't go. :-(

[christopher™]

[funkel]

The Live @ Emmanuel College recording is great. I love all the little stories he threw in between songs.

[odizzle_word]

I was surfing through youtube today and some new videos were just posted of KD covering The Man in Me, I Will Follow You Into the Dark, and Angeles.

[stupidtyonparad]

i wish i had known who he was when i saw him on the first night of the brand new tour
but yeah...i really like him now

[SockMonkeyRiot]

Kevin Devine is spectacular, one of my favorite singer/songwriters. I got a chance to open for him last saturday in Poughkeepsie, he told me he liked my music, it was the best day of my life.

[letdownagain]

That's awesome. Is there somewhere we can listen to your stuff?
