The planning for this was insane. The Sacramento community literally lifted me up to help me see this vision through when I had not a single penny to my name (been a super rough year lol but that’s life) We took 3 days to set up the space. First day was loading in and setting up sound and placement of the desks in the space. Second day was getting the lighting, photos, and dress rehearsal. 3rd day was the official shoot. There was a magic energy filling the space that I can’t explain, but I had a plan, and this turned out way better than the plan I had. This is a result of amazing teamwork and minds coming together.
I predict you’re gonna win. I’m sending you nothing but good energy, man. I’ve believed in you for a long time and watching your growth as an artist has been so amazing to see. Good luck!
As someone who’s entered the contest for years, this is absolutely next level. Bar-setting. I’m floored, this was well deserved and man this song hits the feels hard. Congratulations!
next time ask your label.... i mean community ;) for a few G's to film and produce a small film about your song and manage your social media. I usually just ask my human resources department who we can hire for the band's entry each year then do the screening process and filming process, make sure to put all 6 of your producers in the credits.
Obviously I’m here bc I watched the Tiny Desk (like 50 times now). I’m a bit of a tiny desk fiend but I’m picky. I’m always skeptical with contest winners bc I’m partial to songs I know. I’ve never been so happy I listened to a video I was unsure of. Typically I wouldn’t comment on a you tube video, but I wanted to show my support and hopefully help maintain your motivation! Please continue what you are doing! I know the music grind is hard (and empty at times) but I have faith in you!
I played a SOFAR show with you in SF in 2018, not surprised to see you on the front page of NPR this morning! You were putting in the work then, and it looks like you haven't slowed down at all! Congrats!
Simply incredible. I'm so glad the Tiny Desk introduced me to The Philarmonik. Listened to the entire album on Bandcamp after I heard the first song. Please come to Germany soon! ❤
Brilliant work on this song and video. So glad to have heard you live in Sacramento and to see you moving up to more national platforms. Great submission! 👏
Heard NPR announce ya'll as the TINY DESK winners out of 7000 entries!!!!!! Made my drive to the beach this morning a lil sunnier and definitely more SOULFUL. Congratulations from the 305.
I recently read about you in Apple News/The Sacramento Bee and was deeply moved by your story and the incredible group effort it took to make this recording. There could not be a more deserving winner. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
This was awesome, The concept, planning, execution to enable the appearance of a casual "I'm just gonna sit down and do this before getting to my laptop drudgery" in the office. Love it. A well deserved win!
This sound is so full and warm and clear. This shit sound like the morning you wake up and realize you feel good again after having a bad cold for a week.
PHIL you have a amazing sound. This track in paticular was a great choice for npr. This track is like the into to a sitcom of life! Much love fam look forward to seeing you perforn behing that tiny desk!
This is my second day this week of listening to this song on repeat all morning at my standing desk, swinging my hips to the groove working on getting back up & make meaning at my job. At some point I'll explore your other songs but for now... I need this one. Congratulations and thank you (and before long, I tend to put my money where my ears are so I'll look for an opportunity to do that for ya.)
I have been listening to the Kironic nonstop for the past couple of days and using this for tomorrow's worship service in Davis. Glad to call y'all neighbors. Congrats on the success!
Congratulations, The Philharmonik!!!! Loved this song the second I heard it on NPR this morning and haven't stopped watching the video since. The joyous "What's It All Mean" is the best song I've heard in years and the whole group is wonderful to watch and hear together. What a great sound you all make. Hope this WINNER of a song brings you many, many great things!
I didn't even make it through the Tiny Desk Contest video before coming over here. I knew I loved this before you started singing... and then you started singing and I knew had to hear more. Good luck, Christian!
As a vocalist and professional musician recently moved to Sacramento, this gives me all kinds of encouragement that Sacto is on the upswing, y'all! Hugs congrats to these talented folks right here and to the video director too!
Congrats! So much good music was entered but without question you deserve the Tiny Desk Win! I love what you're doing and I'm so happy that the world gets to hear your music and your message!
Damn I’m literally a New York nigga and your music hits for me you style and the cadence in your voice and energy keep doing your thing gang ‼️📺 we watching
Idk why UA-cam is just now showing this to me but I'm grateful for it. There are a couple bands doing this sort of retro pop sound and I love it. Capturing what made some classic songs great while also making something new is a difficult thing to do, and you've done it WELL. Impressive.
Wow what a great heart felt song. Beautifully played by a talented group of musicians! Thanx for the real music . Gave me goosebumps just like when i was 8 and listened to the whole Stevie Wonder album 'music of my mind' . Wow!
Hello! I’m a great fan of public broadcasting, and now you! Ty for your wonderful and work. This track resonates with me in ways I still haven’t the capacity to fully appreciate. Ty for putting yourself out there and sharing your talent. For now, this track is my morning affirmation! I’m in Maine btw… another reason to love public broadcasting 🙂

To be there in person for this filming was incredible - THIS is the TinyDesk performance 2024 needs.
Thank you for being there my bro!!
Came from the NPR video. This song was the one that impacted the most and for a lot of reasons. This is beautiful.
As a corporate / office employee who daydreams about music a lot, this video concept and song = AMAZING! What a vibe!
I hope this song is your breakthrough!
Me too man me too. Lord knows I need one!
@@thephilharmoniklord knows you more than deserve one.

I love that the backup singers never break character. One of them even moves a file folder while she is singing. Very cool.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Winner Winner chicken dinner!!!! Very cool vibe, I am glad NPR introduced you to the rest of us. ❤
UA-cam just showed me this. I’m glade they did. Awesome stuff
Awesome song with a nostalgic "Will It Go "Round in Circles" vibe. ASC Winner well-deserved!!
I agree. I heard shades of Billy Preston as well.
This was phenomenal.

I love the actual tiny desk concert but I love this submission video even more.
You speak the human condition with such ease, and your approach is timeless. Classic brother
Simply incredible. I'm so glad the Tiny Desk introduced me to The Philarmonik. Listened to the entire album on Bandcamp after I heard the first song. Please come to Germany soon! ❤

This is genius from the song itself to the production and the concept. You're on a different level. Bravo!
Congratulations on winning NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, Philharmonik - you brightened my workday morning!
Fantastic original music is still being made. Great work Philharmonik!!!
wish this band would call me up and ask if i wanted to extend my vehicles warranty.
This was wonderful. Kudos to all involved, it was a treat to watch.
Absolutely loved your submission! Thanks for the love!
Dude is about to take OFF! You love to see it! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Congrats, brother!

I’ll never forget seeing you at the Chicago House of Blues in 2019 opening for Hobo Johnson, this was so well deserved ✊🏼
I've seen this guy and his band live. FANTASTIC! He plays a lot in Sacramento
I needed this song 🎵 and didn't even know it. 🔥🔥🔥
As a Florida redneck, this is one of the greatest songs I’ve heard this year.
Songwriting is incredible. Sound is killer. Production on this is just on a whole other level. You crushed this.
Thank you! Love your submission also. Insane how you’re able to sing those chords in tune with piano.
Came here from NPR Tiny Desk. This is such a great vibe! hope to see you in Canada someday!
This was awesome, The concept, planning, execution to enable the appearance of a casual "I'm just gonna sit down and do this before getting to my laptop drudgery" in the office. Love it. A well deserved win!
I'm so glad you guys exist! Thank you to NPR music for featuring you.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 your grace 😌....I love this song😂
So this is where telemarketing call center music comes from! Sadly, when I'm on hold, I never get a song as cool as this. 🤣🤣🤣
This sound is so full and warm and clear. This shit sound like the morning you wake up and realize you feel good again after having a bad cold for a week.
PHIL you have a amazing sound. This track in paticular was a great choice for npr. This track is like the into to a sitcom of life! Much love fam look forward to seeing you perforn behing that tiny desk!
Congrats on the tiny desk yall - love from Texas, this is a certified banger

Definitely a Billy Preston vibe.

This track transcends time. It could have been made in 70's or 90's or 2030's and have the same luscious feel good jam.
Damn dude this is soo good!
