Fink - This Is The Thing (Live from Haldern 08)

Fink (with Guy Whittaker on bass and Adrian Lawrence on drums) performed a storming set at Haldern Pop Festival on August 9 2008 as part of the "Distance and Time" LP tour. "This Is The Thing" was the first single from that album and here's an incredible live version for Fink fans everywhere.

[@Mrseyler0425]

its like Dave Mathews went through some hard times and came out deep soulful and bad ass

[@jdub03]

@YasuharaEmin It's featured in season 1 episode 9 [life is priceless]. It's the episode with the trapped construction workers. The song plays at the end just before the credits.

[@Jojo__0011]

Dear John

[@gemmarealmilka]

@down82 "when I wake up"- finally I found someone that does the same :D

[@christine31ish]

ilove this song and i dont know why ;)

[@jackiem3740]

just bought album version on itunes. live version is so much better. wish it was there.

[@federicosacchetti7269]

breathless

[@theviewer102]

@Dracod00 It is a great song regardless of where all of us might have discovered it.

[@asmundsortland2428]

I first heard about this song because Feed Me actually made a cover of it!

[@msmandamariee]

@Mrseyler0425 Dave Matthews IS deep, soulful, and badass. But I agree he is like Dave Matthews. I love them both!

[@folcool]

I wanted him to change up some of his lyrics. He kept repeating a lot of the same thing. But I like the song (in parts). In the movie it told you something was going to happen pretty soon. So it was a thing! :)

[@down82]

i like slayer etc, but FUCK this is so great when i wake up

[@gimmieanamethatworks]

@textangrl9797 i know, me 2, just love it, love tone to his voice

[@leypon]

@Battlachaser true that Battlachaser. =]
i feel you.

[@jackiem3740]

reminds me of the lead singer from Seether's voice. actually, they sound excactly alike.
