This is honestly the one of the best duets I’ve ever seen performed. Adorable fucking chemistry.

Shakey is one of the few artists whose live performances sound better than their album counterparts. There is so much more warmth and tone in this vs the album version.

It’s been 7 years since this was posted but the CHEMISTRY is undeniable

2024 and this duet still goes so hard!

Am I the only one who prefers all of his "live" stuff over the albums?

Did anyone else fall in love with these two while watching this? So cute.

if shakey graves walked into a room and said shut up i have an acoustic i would very quietly wet myself, but definitely shut up

My partner of 8yrs, me and our 2 young daughters used to sing this in the car nearly every car trip. He passed away last May. First time listening to this since he's been gone. Hits so different. Hits incredibly hard. We miss you daddy ❤️💔

I like the chemistry between Shakey and Esme, and how it builds in the duet.

Shakey is fucking lit

7 years later and I'm still.... fuckin.... looovin...... this!!!!!!!!!!!

Esme's boots, her voice, actually just everything just makes her the most beautiful girl in existence.

this is the cutest thing ever

You can see that they're both having so much fun!

Even after six years, this song still gives me chills.

This is honestly one of the most perfect and beautiful songs I’ve ever hears

I INSTANTLY became obsessed with this song. I can't stop listening to it. 8th time or so now.

Esme Is just Beautiful, I love her voice and the playful additude of the video. Would love to see them both sing together live. So far, the song has repeated at least 15 times... I can't get enough. I tried all the versions, this is by far my favorite!

50s-70s country, trip hop, jazz metal ! this guy is nucking futs

i cant listen to this song unless its this youtube version

Haven't stop listening to this song for a week THANK YOU SHAKEY GRAVES AND ESME.

Nothing puts a smile on my face like seeing folks who just love to play!

Doesn't this just make you insanely happy?

their performance chemistry is so good

2:50, "ugh thats so messed up..." god damn theyre so adorable.

It's impossible for me to watch this without a big stupid grin splitting my face. Their joy is so contagious.

She is breathtaking

I love how playful they both are. Just livin life and enjoyin it

On repeat. Can't. Stop. Playing.

How could anyone watch this and not think it's awesome.

I end up here rewatching this at least once a year. Sooo much chemistry in this performance.

I have listened to this song about a 100 times within the past two days.

I smiled the entire time. Their chemistry is palatable. Beautiful song. They've always made the best music together.. never stop. Much love from North Texas 🖤

Shakey has more soul in his pinky finger than a majority of mainstream artist, like a texas version of Jeff Buckley :)-

I love this version. Its so pure, with great feeling and chemistry. I have a huge crush on Esme Patterson!

All you can do is smile when watching this. Can't stop listening. Their sound is infectious

Can't wait for his trip hop, and Jazz metal stuff.

Its 2023, we are waiting for the Triphop and Jazz Metal Shakey! :D

Esme Patterson is the brightest flame in the darkness for me.

They both have such amazing energy, love these two together!

i understand different tastes in music but anyone giving this a thumbs down must be bitter about a lonely childhood. even if you dont like this music its still plain to see that its very musical while being quite unique. still so catchy with a great hook . some people just throw in weird changes to be different and it ends up sounding fussy or uncomfortable. very cool changes while maintaining the flow of the song. so aren't all those thumbs down really just a reflection of how you feel about yourselves? See, weve all learned something today. have a great day and remember to love even the little notes and empty spaces

Been listening to Shakey for years now, I'm convinced he's channeling the soul of some dead guy...

The chemistry between these two is palpable

I almost forgot to watch this today.

I have never shipped anyone so hard. Ever.

Someone very special showed me this, now it reminds me of them ❤

The chemistry. It reminds me of something I used to... CIVIL WARS. So good.

They look like they're thoroughly enjoying performing this great song - hope to hear them live someday

WOW!!! I sincerely hope that Shakey Graves does more with this woman. They are amazing together! And she is amazing! How fortuitous of them to meet each other, because they are like peanut butter and jelly to me right now.

Esme brings me back to this video over and over. She is beautiful with a voice to match. Watching her perform this makes me smile.

It really can't be much better than what this man is doing. Kudos to Esme Patterson for naturally nailing her part. This is real music. Shakey Graves just might be the greatest band name I've ever heard of

I want someone to look at me the way these two look at each other.

The future of Jazz Metal looks promising! Great work man, really refreshing to see modern music that sounds so genuine.

If they don’t play this at my funeral I ain’t going to heaven.

I heard this once when me and my uncle was drinkin and spent a good few months trying to find it again glad I did

Do you see those heels itching for his suitcase drum and tambourine!

I love how she pushes out "dagger" and "cloak" on this one

This is a real down home, true hearted performance. Real and raw is how Shakey Graves ALWAYS delivers!! I'm absolutely loving this duet with Esme. Brilliant sound!

I can't believe this was 7 years ago...

They both seem so genuinely happy. So cute! Brings a smile to my face every time! (:

That was way more than I expected. She gave me chills.

I wanna go camping with these people and jam out by the fire

the energy felt from start to finish is so rare within a song.

4 years later and this is still one of my favorite videos on KZfaq. It still makes me smile so hard while watching it. Their chemistry is so adorable

That sheer bliss! Dear God, this is why I play music.

Just your typical mesmerizing perfection courtesy of Shakey. Long live the king.

They look like life long lovers, a fantastic mix of talent. This will play at my funeral party...

I've probably listened to this song 160 times.

the first time i watched this i almost cried. such a true work of art. blessed.

Love this! And Esme has THE cutest smile ever, omg.

How do you have this much musical chemistry and not end up convinced shes your soul mate?

They need too make a album together for real!

"What's a dagger without a cloak?... mhlhmydon oh..." Beautiful line and amazing musicians and performers.

I....am... speechless. This makes my top 5 favorite live performances. Ever. My heart hurts, because its so good.

I miss my mom playing this on the record player and hearing it every time I woke up and going to school having a good day. :(

Who is this chocolate haired temptress with an angelic face and the voice to match?!?

He had me at "Jazz Metal". 💜

Such a great song with phenomenal chemistry

I reckon y’all think this is groundbreaking. Nothing new here. But he is keepin something alive. Just not sure what.

Revisiting after 5 years… same great vibe as the first time I heard this masterpiece. I love you both!!!

That is some real chemistry!

Hard not to smile while watching them have so much fun with this. Crazy good.

Aaaargh?! These goosebumps may be permanent?!

Someone I love very dearly sent me this video. He was right, I totally love it. I love how he gets me. I’m so lucky yo have found him - and this song.

Damn that's good chemistry in a harmony or partner creation or collaboration I've ever seen!!!! Awesome energy. I'd love to see them live.

How could someone not Love this...TRIP HOP & Jazz Metal. This is a masterpiece!!!! You are both Earth Angels! 💖

You know you are in love with music when it means something different every time you hear it.

These two looking like they are having a lot of fun, and would make some very talented/beautiful children.

Now THIS is chemistry.

it's funny to see how far this song has come. you can tell he's playing a lot more deliberately with a stricter time signature whereas lately, only a few months later, it's more relaxed, more flowing, more comfortable. like every other internet fan, i've been following him for a while and really, really happy he's having success. it does feel like 'our little secret' got out though.

Now that"s Chemistry! Love this song.

You have chemistry!

Where does such raw talent come from??? Fricking AMAZING!!!

Shaky graves making trip hop, that I would like to hear.

She is your soul mate and you two are so very beautiful standing there together I love you both

I love how much fun they look like they are having. Makes the song 100% better imho.

At the beginning he says his music is based on country music...one genre I have a really hard time appreciating...but this is excellent. This is terrific! Tell me this is country and I'll love country.

I love this! The chemistry in their performance is infectious :)

Amazing chemistry between these two.

Back again.. the chemistry is insane!
