Live from the Church of Our Lady of Laeken in Belgium, here's Tom and Nic serenading the local parishioners with some acoustic creations. This show was recorded by the architect of Editors online forum, Hannah. Many thanks go out to you for sharing, H. It's appreciated.
It's crazy how big the sound is during this show, mostly due to the size and design of the venue itself. It's massive, with lots of space and huge ceilings. I imagine that a Sunday service here would be quite an imposing experience. These stunning acoustics are none more evident between numbers when you can actually hear the audience talking back to Tom. For example, just before The Phone Book someone replies to a wellness check from the stage with "Your music is warming us up".
There's a little bit of real-time situational awareness just before The Weight, where the reality of there being no bar in this church is determined to be not such a bad thing after all. Purely from the viewpoint of...personal relief.
Once again, before The Hills We Died Upon is played Tom does some quite deliberate fan-teasing through his subtle use of language. In particular his use of the word "probably". Will this song be on E8 or is it destined to appear only as a bonus track on, say, the Japanese edition? Or maybe it will vanish, only ever having been heard by one fan. Dream Dark as Your Heaven...long gone but still not forgotten. Or heard. By any of us.
