Tyler Glenn's Raw Performance on Live with Kelly May Move You to Tears

Tyler Glenn appeared this morning on Live with Kelly to perform "Midnight," a single from his debut solo album "Excommunication."

His stage presence on the show might come off as a little strange at first to those who know him primarily from his hyper-animated performances as Neon Trees' frontman. The casual viewer could probably expect something lighthearted and fun from Glenn in this moment, something filled with electronic music and a danceable beat. But his message this time around is incredibly personal and quite different.

Accompanied by only a pianist, Glenn comes straight out with the primary themes from his album, singing about faith and doubt. He begs a tortured question in his chorus, the veins in his neck bulging as he belts, "God, where the hell are you hiding?"
