      there's a line between condescension and criticism. i'm responding to your statement comparing her guitar work to a breath of fresh air. this band is pretty late in the game and this sound is borderline trite. that's not an opinion either, it's an observation.

    I’m seriously struggling to see why so many people complain about her live vocal performances. she literally sounds nearly identical to the records? maybe slightly rough around the edges but that’s literally her style, and that’s how she sounds on her albums as well. she sounds great here…I really don’t get all of the hate.

    Kids barely born in the 90's are not supposed to be able to write 90's indie pop rock brilliance as great as this. Lindsey Jordan is the past and the future of alternative rock. Can't wait til Snail Mail returns to Tampa/Orlando. I hate myself for missing them in April. I'll be the first in line.

    Pristine
    Untraced by the world outside you
    Anyways
    I'll never get real
    And you'll never change to me 'cause I'm not looking
    Anyways
    Same night
    Same humility for those that love you
    Anyways, anyways
    And if you do find someone better
    I'll still see you in everything
    Tomorrow and all the time
    And don't you like me for me?
    Is there any better feeling than coming clean?
    And I know myself and I'll never love anyone else
    I won't love anyone else
    I'll never love anyone else
    It just feels like
    The same party every weekend
    Doesn't it? Doesn't it?
    And if you do find someone better
    I'll still see you in everything
    For always, tomorrow and all the time
    Don't you like me for me?
    Is there any better feeling than coming clean?
    And I know myself and I'll never love anyone else
    I won't love anyone else
    I'll never love anyone else
    If it's not supposed to be
    Then I'll just let it be
    And out of everyone
    Be honest with me
    Who do you change for?
    Who's top of your world?
    And out of everyone
    Who's your type of girl?
    And we can be anything
    Even apart
    And out of everything
    It doesn't have to be this hard
    I could be anyone
    But I'm so entwined
    And out of everyone
    Who's on your mind?
    And no more changes
    I'll still love you the same

      It seems that she unfortunately has some voice issues during this session

      It seems like she's bored of the song but whoooo knows

      Yeah she sings with a really chilled out vibe in the studio version but here she sounds slightly too chilled out if you get what I mean

      Heather Shaw I was wondering if she had a worn voice from touring or if she was high as fuukk

    She sounds like she struggles singing live. Maybe focused to much on her guitar playing.

    Bassist head bopping annoys the shit out of me. But love the band!

    I absolutely love this song, but lead guitar is out of tune.

      Consider Radiohead's Pablo Honey. Everyone has to start out somewhere.

      The energy seems low here, but I've seen other live vids where the energy is as good as the recording

      She's a kid too. You gotta give her credit. Some of her songs are great, albeit generic and derivative, her songs are catchy and I believe her slightly out of tune approach is on purpose. Just my opinion.

      Great song and album but this live performance seems a bit... off
