Wow the four of my most favorite songs of hers!!😍😍😘😘❤💕 she's beautiful and so as her voice😘
@@verniejoysupat73 mine as well
😎👍
Thanks 🙏
Came for Caroline, stayed for the host. What an excellent interviewer
same
@@Ricardo-C Implying it's a bad thing to be gay
He has a very calming voice as well. I would enjoy his podcast if he had one
@@Ricardo-C Telling someone to stop doing something is hardly "just an observation".
@@DarthBleh Thats kinda gay what you just say
She sings so effortless. She just opens her mouth and that's all, an angel voice
@Bloopy Bloop Probably she wants to improve her piano skills
@@alextint5987 eh, unlikely, she was a huge force at a big music program in college (I went there too and that was like right as she as part of Chairlift got the apple commercial and blew up, later produced for Beyonce and more) and has been a ghostwriter for a decade+ since. She was already a nearly master-level pianist/multi-instrumentalist. This is basically like a "stripped down"/unplugged rendition, probably just a one-time deal for this station as this matches their general vibe. (Other artists do the same thing on this channel)
Lots of practice helps! But yr right she makes it look easy
when she says the title of song #3, she means it, you feel it already before the song...
I wanna be Caroline Polachek when I grow up
Same
Same pang will be the name of my debut album lol
Please never stop commenting. I always get a smile when I get to see another comment of yours. Thanks for that
For real, i always see you around and I love seeing you!
Of course your here😂
this is how you make an interview to an artist, give him an increase
I love how old school the songs sound played like this but so far in the future in the studio version. Good songwriting can transcend time.
It makes me want a stripped down version of the album
Seriously! I got a slight Carole King vibe from Go As A Dream.
A good song is a good song is a good song...
Love your profile pic😍 #Bjork
Exactly!
She even speaks poetically and perceptively. Caroline, you are supernatural.
Yes! Also, when she says the title of song #3, you can see and hear that she means it, you feel it already before the song...
just saw her instagram post about this video. apparetly caroline was nervous, "botching cords, wonky tuning, hands visibly trembling" in her words. I could kinda tell she was nervous but I feel like she's really hard on herself, because she sounded really good despite what she said in the ig post xD she reminds me of marina and the diamonds
She reminds me a lot more of Joni Mitchell
Sou brasileiro amiga
Exciting ✨
You can see her hands shaking a bit. Definitely nerves. Still did amazing.
I have never heard Marina and the Diamonds. I agree with you strongly on the Joni Mitchell reference, especially in this format, with just the piano. Caroline Polachek sounds to me like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Cher.
I can't not love how she almost yodels when she sings "I get a little lonely"
Go As A Dream is such a gorgeous song.
ua-cam.com/video/40g9VclggT4/v-deo.html
Such fantasy vibes
It feels like some song from Call Me by Your Name film
I don’t like the rest of her music but this song was good to me
I could swear it is called 'go as a tree' ... 😉
The host seems like a fan lol. She's amazing in every possible way. I woudn't know what to do if were to see her in person.
face at 22:01 says it all haha ❤️
I met her once at a festival and she was so lovely. Super friendly and generous with her time.
@@simonvander71 lucky you
Had the privilege of meeting her, so genuinely kind, she even sang in a video with me to send to my girlfriend.
That's the way it has to be, the host is very professional.
Ocean Of Tears is a very difficult and ambiguous tune in the piano version. it is incredibly interesting.
The vocal electric guitar on So Hot Youre Hurting My Feelings!
Lian Jose Martinez pretty sure it’s actually vocals on the album too!
@@ilikecorn500 Yes. I always wonder why people not get that when It's even visualized in the music video lol
Couldn’t believe this!!!
I figured it was a vocoder on the album but anyway This whole performance was great & that was my favorite moment
20:46
she is the moment
now come on now
Tomasz Agaciński lol
omg she totally is, no, you're totally right.
love her! her hands shaking on the Ocean of Tears piano part bc of playing that cool riff she's not 100% comfortable with was such a musician's mood
Caroline is one of the few artists these days that seems to really use her voice as an instrument! I heard an interview with her recently where she said she has practiced different singing techniques and styles, like opera. You can 100% hear the influence it has had on her work.
To find a new artist first by a in depth interview and Caroline personality and music shine! So the next .step. has to be l must catch a live show so looking forward to to catching caroline live in the UK October 2022 anticipation abounds already 😎😎
yeah like, she sings, but shes a vocalist in the way that a violinist is a violinist
@@malcolmbradley6136 I'd love to see her
her music was played so much in the h&m shop I was working - now it brings such bittersweet memories of working there and tidying up the store and the clothes while her ethereal voice was singing. she is absolutely amazing.
This are the moments that make life ethereal, magical and special ✌️🌌🛍️🧤👗🧦
Caroline Polachek in h&m? Taste only
Holy fuck her voice is fucking amazing. And those changes from chest to head voice are soooooo fucking CLEAN omgggg like BUTTERRRR lolll incredible.
on se calme, Kamilla
woahhhhhh i didnt even realise that her voice was effortless and natural, I thought it was too perfect to not have autotune or something 😍😍😍huge huge fan of her voice
If you take a shot every time she says "door" legend has it you'll wake up after quarantine.
Beautiful performance ❤️
good one lol
She plays the piano so beautifully 🥺🥺🥺
she's got the voice of an angel i cried throughout the whole video, i've seen her live a couple months ago and i'm mesmerised by how she sings this easily
How does she make her voice sound like it’s traveling? Like it’s dreamy and a little spooky? It’s fascinating.
her music resonates somewhere in the center of my chest and spreads. it feels nostalgic, it feels like what i've heard in my fever dreams if that makes sense. it's so new, yet familiar. her power is phenomenal.
incredible singing, the solo in so hot youre hurting my feelings was impressive
Some people: She uses autotune.
Caroline: Hold my beer-
@@therebirth7 I mean every artist these days uses autotune for their studio recordings to make them perfect, but not many can hold up the quality without it. Caroline can.
Bitch, hold my door
@@hyerphology hold the gate
People have been tuning audio for decades, auto tune is just the modern version.
lol
Man, this stripped down version of Ocean of Tears made me appreciate the song even more. Thanks, KEXP!
The breaks in her voice are so beautiful
I saw her last night opening for Dua Lippa. She was amazing! One of my new favorite artists.
Yet another artist I would never have even heard of if it was not for the likes of KEXP. I really enjoyed this set. Personally I felt there was an echo of Joni Mitchell in her voice....
jon akin so now pls listen to chairlift!
I know that band, Bruises is a brilliant song. Thank you Juliane.
ua-cam.com/video/40g9VclggT4/v-deo.html
been thinking this for months!
Thankyou.
I can't even imagine sitting in close proximity to this!
she has truly come so far since this video came out
I've only discovered this performance today and I'm really impressed about how much more confident she looks and sounds in last year's KEXP performance. She looks so nervous here (which is so adorable and relatable). She has indeed come so so far.
Her voice is insane! So beautiful it’s hard to believe it’s real. She also comes off as little nervous but incredibly sweet. I really enjoyed the engaged, thoughtful, and organic questions from the interviewer
She is pure class. A special voice, quirky, unique, brilliant. So excited by her music.

I cried during Ocean of Tears. That’s it.
same
but why?
@@bartezu666 because...
I wish she would do a piano version of all her songs now. She sounds amazing!
It's the end of 2020 and i keep on coming back to this session so much. She's such a great vocalist.
I don't even understand how so much talent and beauty can be contained in one person.
She’s so powerful.
For those looking for more work featuring Caroline's voice there is a short film of her on UA-cam singing a piece by Handel that is pretty dope. Another cool one is a song with a band called Delorian where she sings in a way that mimics how voices sound in reverse. We saw her San Francisco show this tour (mentioned at 18:00) and it was rad.

Caroline singing with Delorean as if her voice were reversed ua-cam.com/video/o86fnvYGQJc/v-deo.html
Also Do you think about Us? by The Night Game. Caroline is in that collab
aw, the link to handel was here now it's disappeared.
The first song alone have made my whole day, and I literally don’t want to hear anything after, I just want to let it soak into my soul 🫠
I've never regretted clicking on a KEXP video
her voice is so magical it's dreamy and nostalgic at the same time
I just clicked on the video because our surnames are he same and there aren't so many of us that have it but now I have a new musician to binge listen!
I can't believe how well she sings Ocean of Tears, is sounds exactly as the recording, I am SHOCKED
the spell is upon me
The interviewer looks so thrilled and entertained, really sweet.
So refreshing to hear interviews that are about the art and the relevant context of art... rather than red meat about personal scandals or irrelevant small talk.
Never heard of her until now. Thank you KEXP!
I already enjoyed her music, but her acoustic versions are even better! Caroline, put out a acoustic version of your music, please!
I keep coming back to this performance. Still amazing. Still touches my heart.
"...Liberation is an ongoing process that I'm always redefining" - Caroline Polachek 10:34
I believe it was So hot you are hurting my feelings that was played on Spotify while I was driving in the woods in the mid February. I immediately like it. So it is nice to listen to the acoustic version of the song.
OMG! Those intentional voice cracks! Unbelievable!
How on earth does she do that "to th-the door" thing live? Absolutely insane
Ruan Coetzee which part do you mean? in the chorus she says 'to another door'
I know! It's hard and she does it so smoothly without deliberately sounding like she's trying to catch a breath.
@@niamhhhhhh really? That actually makes a lot more sense now that I think about it lmao. Don't know why I've never heard that. Still an impressive vocal thing she does there regardless.
Just cool rhythmic phrasing, good pitch, and good enunciation!
“You open the door, to another door, to another door, to another door, to another door, and I’m running through to you”
Wow “Go As A Dream” is so hauntingly beautiful
Everyone here if you love Caroline definitely check out that song "Some Small Hope", that they're talking about at the beginning, incredibly rich song written and produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto who you should definitely check out. Such a crazy coincidence web of connected musicians.
Caroline is so pure and we must do everything can to protect her.
Thanx, KEXP, for sending me here via link in the comments of today's Christine and the Queens live performance. Inhaled this lovely, quiet performance of Caroline Polachek, and artist I wanted to get to know better! At first I thought, if this is how Pang sounds, I have to buy it! Then Polachek clarified the album is synthesizers, and this is her acoustic interpretation . . . Thank you, Caroline Polachek for this! KEXP sound man Kevin Suggs, you are my hero!
One of my favorite kexp interviews! Great interview questions and she's a great interviewee. She's a very thoughtful artist and he did a great job of pulling that out. He obviously is a fan too which of course makes it ever better. Love the name as well.
Not sure how it took me so long to discover this, but so glad youtube finally recommended it.
These stripped down piano versions really highlight what a beautiful songwriter she is. I think I actually prefer them over the album versions.
Came back for this… 2 years later, still hits. 🙏🏾
A magical combination: Caroline and the piano. Thanks so much, KEXP!
Caroline is by far one of the musicians who has a very amazing voice!
What a beautiful voice and peaceful presence. 🙏 Thank you
This live rendition of go as a dream sounds so dramatic and impactful waow
Go as a dream is a sharp knife in my heart
sometimes when i lose my reason to sing i think about caroline polachek and on top of regaining a will to sing i also wonder how the hell she figured out how to descend from heaven or ascend from hell and make it to us, where ever a celestial siren comes from that's more magical than here. she has a voice from the gods i say !!!!
Awesome. Going to be looping Chairlift all day now after this !
Listening to Pang everyday - gorgeous album!
I can't get enough of her. You can tell she's super bright
What a unique and amazing voice!
I have to admit that many of Chairlift's or her songs didn't click for me despite me loving her singing but in this setup I am just blown away. Hoping to see her live someday... Not that it's going to happen anytime soon! Meanwhile I'll just come back to this.
Im really lucky to have seen her live in February. That show will keep me going without live music for some time.
I try to sing along but I absolutely murder the songs in the opposite manner of her perfection... Really impressed with Caroline's live performances!
We’re gonna need an EP of these on piano! We’ll wait. ❤️
How do you even sing Ocean of tears in tune with that arrangement? Incredible.
Been listening to this session for days. Thank you.
One of the greats. Phenomenal performer and artist.
The interviewers of KEXP are the best.
I was lucky when kexp was simulcast in new York and new Jersey. About 10 years ago.it was my go to listening experience for almost 2 years.treasure all that...
she deserves more recognition 💜
Caroline, I love how real you are!! Not to mention amazing music.
She murdered me with "Ocean of Tears"...
Go As A Dream makes me feel so relaxed every time i play it, but here it makes me so sad idk why
Big feels for every ounce of this performance, amazing ♡
OMG! She is the most beautiful girl i've ever seen!
It's a quarantine
So please stay at home
And don't open the door
Open the door
Open the door
Open the door..
Hold It!
Corona...running..running..running
That stripped down version of Door was so amazing!
My favourite songstress and musician in the last year. Obsessed
Love the detuned piano reminds me of the Aphex Twin piano played live, swinging with the doppler effect
She's amazing fantastic so and her melos is unique and in acoustic sounding!Respect KEXP for this session!Strong to be health and thank so much to Caroline,fine creative way and good luck to both the channels!
a literal angel. i can not begin to express what her music makes me feel. all i can say is thank you and please never stop
I had no idea she was in Chairlift! Thats awesome, been listening to chairlift since college
I love the hosts of KEXP.. these Guys love music and are excited to be the mediator of all these brilliant artists they receive! Chapeau
She always gets me speechless. I love her
her voice is so good its unfair
I always thought her voice in the recordings used autotune or another software (as an artistic tool) to get this effect but they only serve as a way to enhance the beautiful tone and mystical effects of her voice. She is definitely one of the most underrated artist I've heard.
Absolutely beautiful. Loved her album and this performance was incredible.
I love going back to this, it's has a calming effect, surprised that it doesn't have more views it's so good !
Thank you Caroline. It's such dark time in NYC, and this is helping.
