Thrice’s, The Whaler (posted above), may be one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I know that Thrice is my favorite band and I am kind of biased, but Kensrue just has a flat out beautiful voice.
For a while, the song is just pretty basic. There is a basic little ocean-y drum beat and some piano. But at the 2:51 mark, I get chills every time. The singing is so awesome he doesn’t need to say a word. He just makes this “ah” noise and carries it out for a long time. At 3:26, everything drops out and it is just the one vocal harmony. It is just such an awesome sounding vocal arrangement. I wouldn’t have needed all the instruments for this song, just that last part. But I heard it today after not hearing it for a while and I just realized how incredible it was, so I decided to share it with you all.
Great acoustic performance of it. Basically Dustin Kensrue is the man:
