St. Paul & The Broken Bones - Half The City Lyrics

This man has blackman voice fucking good song 🤘👍✌🙏✌

Guitarist stole this riff from ‘under the bridge’ by rhcp

"This looks like the Capitol in Montgomery." -LOL.

Dang man!

I feel like he is more a vocal impressionist, than musician.... :/
Skills are there, tho. Xo

What can I say I like this song.
✊🤓👍
👔

Me and my girls love you guys!!!

Beautiful

Just doing what's been done 100× before, and that not to say that they aren't good. However if you find yourself loving this, please look into the history to see for yourself. #WMITTI

This is not a very constructive comment

Maybe misunderstood?? I said this is a good band, I enjoyed the song. My point is simply you and other should also invest some time in researching the source of this style of music. I don't see anything negative about my stance.

Outstanding. PERIOD. from a troll.

This is some deep soul. Imagine being there and then this pops up

This guys voice is so impressive

Sua voz é negra e sua alma é negra Sr pôrra kkkkkkkk

Sounds like Otis Redding

37 dislikes WTF???? people without a soul

Had the absolute pleasure of going to see these gentlemen in SA TX at the Rustic. They could not have given an greater of a performance than that night. They made me feel like I did not pay enough to see them. If you have a chance do not miss it to see these guys live.

This absolutely blows the studio version out of the water. These guys have it, a breath of fresh soulful air in a world of stuffy fake pop bullshit. Brilliant

Go white boy 😱 ⛄

Thank you for the amazing music!!!!!!!

Kaboom! Mind blown! Pipes and smooth grooves; just need some candles, wine, and my lady and the mood is set.
Also, how is it 34 people disliked this? Maybe not your style of music, but disliking it seems pretty extreme. Or maybe you just didn't get lucky?

Shouts out from Montgomery, AL. I can assure you our state capitol does NOT look like that.

St Paul and the broken bones are amazing I just love them 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Soul. And they obviously ain't concerned with trying to sell more records than everybody else.

I love how a crowd instantly forms around them as soon as the music starts.

PURE MUGIC!

Please bring this kinda soul back to music

gotdamn the chills.. this guy can fuckin sing. more soul than ever

to the comment that this guy has no soul or guts, he does have guts for trying to bring back this style of music so many have tried and failed. he is a genius and his voice is bad ass

Incredible !!!

Just magic!

why is this fat white guy singing soul songs in france lolo

Because he can?

Dammmmmm y'all are good,about time we get to hear some great music n voice Dig It
Sing It My Southern Brother,

Wow...!

Sending shivers down my spine

U.K. Concerts please, best white soul singer around, what a voice,great band 👍😎

The studio release is better. But this was way cool too

This guy has soul!

Yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wowwwwwwwwwww so vetttttttt

Didn't think anyone made music like this anymore ❤️

The male version of Alabamas Shake's Brittany Howard.

SO TRUE

that is exactly what my daughter said when she heard st paul for the 1st time
pretty perceptive for a kid

Did anyone have their face ripple with waves of goosebumps that ended up on your head? Wow!

Amazing.

how are they connected to the recording hardware ! ? I'm curious

Lost for words

oh my god...so much soul..it's unbelievable

What happens to the people? they are dead? You have to come to give a show in Argentina !

love this white boy!!

that's what I'm saying , white bit with some soul

Absolutely phenomenal

Can someone please tell me what this music genre is called?

+Josef Krogulec Soul.

welcome to blues and soul

Sometimes quality happens

God is back. Fine.

who would've thought that drew carey could sing like that after all these years? the man is a gem.

(disclaimer. calm down. this is just a joke)

What in the Otis Redding and Ray Lamontagne's love child?!?!

more alan carr than elton

0:34 The intro starts out sounding just like You Are The Best Thing by Ray Lamontagne. It slips 2 extra notes in the same progression to make it slightly different.

Except for the singin'!!!

Hahahahahah yes!

@Someone Something alan carr all the way yeah

Damn good music!!!

hey hello Mr. Drummer ;)

Wow, this seems like it's somewhere in Europe and his Talented voice and band transcend barriers... oh Paris, very nice +1 fan

This band are fabulous! That voice is to die for.

If I build a fountain, will you guys come and play?

Looked up Otis Redding covers, and in 5 minutes they became my new favorite band, so much soul, singer's like a southern baptist preacher with a perfect growl of a voice, seeing them play with Alabama Shakes would be a dream come true.

+Jamin Werkheiser I believe his father is a preacher... and they are great friends with the Shakes. I don't think there are videos though. :(

Drummer needs a new rope................:))

Look out world!!!

oh shit so looking forward to see this guy live in a few weeks time.

This man's voice is amazing. I stumbled upon St Paul and The Broken Bones and I am so glad that I did.

Awesome, thank you

Love this he's soooii soulful!!!!!

Usually when I listen to music on youtube, I just let it play as I do other shit. But I can't help but watch all of these live performances as they're so comforting and real and soulful, it makes you feel so good to watch this magic happen.

Molly Wilkins yesssss!!! Love EVERY song!!! #amazing👍👌💖💯

Where are the amps for guitar and bass?

@Volodia Arnaud They're wearing them. They have little battery powered amps on their belts. The guitar amp sounds like a classic Pignose.

@Samnite001 oh yeah I see that now, thanks!

Hahah holy shit, this guy is amazing, he does feel the music, unlike commercial radio garbage "singers" *insert any famous contemporary singer whom gets showcased in vevo and the radio for teens and commercially minded adults*

Total gute Stimme und Interpret nicht nur von Otis Redding.

Ahahah he's funny the singer ,love the band

Great voice! Love these guys! But ditch the shoes! Ruins the cool!

getdennis I think the white shoes are signature. I saw these guys live in a dive bar in Winston-Salem back in 2014.
I understand he was raised in a Pentecostal Holiness church.
I can associate his moves and style with that upbringing.

Joy Somers he’s a white boybeith the voice of a Jazz legend, he deserves the shoes. Let’s people know he’s about the music.

catharsis at 3:36

Wow I mean just wow. Now that is talent from high above in action.

holy shit this guys voice is fucking amazing

His suits just get a little nicer as time goes by. Lol

got to love those shoes !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and yes, HIS VOICE!!!!!

Money baby

Just love this band seeing this you know they can really deliver in there live shows 😍😘😃 electricfing!!!

This guy sing like a baws :) Amazing

All I can say is WOW.

Wow...

damn...

Can't wait to see these guys tomorrow night in Memphis, TN!!

Watching this made me smile. My cheeks hurt haha

@Roxy Watching this made me cry and now my eyes and head hurt...

This is so healing. Thank you.

Im tired of hearing that a man cant have soul and guts because he ain't black, thats just inverse racism, fuck off

not even inverse racism really, it's still discrimination so still direct rracism. who gives a fuck though, anyone who knows of st paul knows its not true

you don't have to "know" the lead singer personally to recognize true talent. Color does not make someone more talented than another - G*D gives us these Blessings & G*D does not care about color (HE is not a respecter of persons)

mérite vraiment à être connu car une voix superbe à la Joe cocker et soûl musique. continuez vous y arriverez!

that`s the groove of my soul.

Just Amazing, everything is perfect, hope to see another good music from them

This dude is a bad man. This guy breathes underwater. This guy eats planets for afternoon tea. Damn. This guy is soul mic'd.

yassssss
 

Play this song to a friend of yours who doesn't know the band, without showing him the video. Ask him to picture the singer. Then show him the video.

Yosefú Miau I do this alot lmao

You are so right. Before reading your comment I had just said to myself that I have to get my husband to listen to them. But I know I couldn't show the face. Sad. But people will judge him. They're blowing me away. A lot of this music is out there.

Hey great Otis Redding impersonator! This white boy is a good imitator like many of them are; Boz Scaggs, and Bobby Caldwell, and many others out there. They got that white crack whore named Iggy something trying to sound like some black rapper from the past. No originality from white people what so ever; can you finally do something that you came up with yourself?

I mean, if cultural appropriation is something you're against, should you be using the latin alphabet of the devil white man to express yourself?

Sadly, racism is alive and well.

Lmao U mad bruh?

Just another person who uses racism as a crutch to make themselves feel better about being a failure at life.

Wow! I swear, it's almost like you can feel his voice right through the screen!

I lost 4:29 minutes of my life to pure bliss and awe listening to this! Every single person imbued with pure talent and skill. Thank you La Blogothéque!!

That was amazing, I don't think that guy needs a microphone when he sings. :)

@zarbran oh no he doesn't! :)

+La Blogothèque My brother went to highschool with Paul. Said he could fill the room wall to wall and floor to ceiling with no mic

suckstoyourazmar your bro is fortunate ;-)

Where in Paris was this shot?

This is in the Louvre Castle

these guys are amazingly good! paul sings the roof off of any building they play in and the band has so much talent and energy! to top it off they are all a bunch of super nice guys and love meeting fans! can't say enough good things about them. if you ever get the chance to see them play live, do yourself a favor and go see them. they put on an awesome show.

Good sound and voice but a bit flashy and showoff-y
