Noah And The Whale: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 сер 2011
- A few years ago, Noah and the Whale would have seemed like the last band to bring a drum machine to a Tiny Desk Concert. But here, the London band plugs in -- and sweet simplicity still reigns.
Set List:
"L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N."
"Blue Skies"
"Waiting For My Chance To Come"

I have alot of memories of listening to their music. Nostalgia
Ive always loved Noah and the Whale, but their album The First Day of Spring, especially Blue Skies, got me through a breakup. Will always hold a special place.
It was same for me. It was a very painful separation but helped me unsderstand my emotions. For 5 years my door was open but I understood I had to let go to keep on living.
I'm in this boat right now. Really hurts. Taking it day by day. NATW helps.
Album was an absolute masterpiece. It's so forgotten about,sadly.
NATW got me through some of the toughest times I’ve had and I seriously thank their existence for me still being here
noah and the whale....u guys don't know how much ur songs mean to me.
it's been a while. and when I saw ur face here I instantly started to cry.
thank you for filling in wholly some of the greatest moments in my yesteryears.
really . ur soul of despair is is the sweetest sound to be surrounded with.
They both look like they're genuinely enjoying themselves. Especially the guy on the violin, always smiling. So adorable.
Their first album, Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down is about falling in love
First Days of Spring is about that love breaking
and Last Night on Earth is about moving on.
I'm a sucker for heartbreak, so First Days of Spring is always going to be my favorite, but it's only as good as it is because it's the second act in an amazing trilogy. Deliberate or not.
Noah and the whale are way underrated!!
I just love the tiny smile of the guy with the violin
this is such a perfect tiny desk... i loved Noah and the Whale's music as a teen but this is the performance I come back to time and time again. It feels so good.
his voice is so effortless
They are ADORABLE. Great vocals and instrumentals. I cant believe I haven't head of them before!?! God where have I been? way too underrated
they were big ages go because of 5 years time
Check out their La Blogotheque/Take Away Shows...3 in total. Solid stuff!
Gordon Welsh that’s what got me into them ❤️
Watching this again after a while and it's great see how the excitement on the violinists face during the first song.
So many memories with their beautiful songs…💙
His voice is absolutely lovely.
I've spend all night watching videos of them live. And they are amazing every time!
Aaawwwww!! I LOVE that he did "Instrumental II" as the lead-in to "Blue Skies." :)
I doubt anyone noticed
+Aaron Folkard Probably not. And Charlie probably thought nothing of it. But there are those of us who appreciate such nuggets of beauty, my pessimistic friend.
Fragile yet solid as a freakin' rock
Thank you NPR Tiny Desk for introducing me to this spectacular band! My fragmented soul needed some defragmentation, and this suited the job well.
i love this band so much. they got me through college.
Katie Hughes same 😂
Hope they’ll do the same for me
These guys man ❤️ So talented it really tugs on the heart strings.
I love you guys. Thank you for everything. I wish I could have you perform at my wedding in Brazil next year, but one way or another we’ll have your music there. Thanks again.
reallllllllllllly wanted 5 years time, but this still kicks hard
it has been five years time since this was recorded ;_;
without laura? NEVER
@@danillogoncalves6082 lol
@@mayamagination it has been five years time since this was commented
@@keegan3960 time flys
No negativity. These guys are grand(:
I'm a strings nerd, so I love the violin! It's one thing to listen to the gorgeousness on the CD, but it's another thing to fan girl over watching it in a video! :P
Absolute awesomeness 😊❤️🎶☀️
I like this concert and the drum machine does not degrade it in the least in my opinion. If you listened to the album it is Pop-esque and the drum machine lends itself to that for a two man "acoustic" show.
Beautiful...young delicious flavor...Fantastic Live in 2009, sweet days of spring!!!
Timeless, who else is still listening in 2021?
How about 2024?
Nothing but nostalgia.
I love Noah and the whale! I miss them❤️
It’s great to see Tom (violinist) playing with Gang of Youths nowadays, he did great work on their last album
makes me so happy and relaxed
Awesome! Wow, his voice is so solid. Really amazing music :)
Your so welcome... Its amazing!!!
Absolutely beautiful...loved it!
Michael Esarey !ti devol...lufituaeb yletulosbA

Simply beautiful
how i love this 2 guys!
amazing musicians, beautiful songs.
I effin love this concert! X)
BIG love.. miss you guys
Visiting Richmond Virginia. This song helps navigate old memories.
If I hadn't already found the one, I'd say I fell in love with the face behind the guitar!
all three are my favorite songs!
what a wonderful set
I like all three songs although I feel “Blue Skies” is a masterpiece and hits me it the feels
They are so good looking!!
Musical Poets......love you guys
Absolutely amazing
They opened with my fave!!
seeing how much Tom's career has changed but that even in Gang of Youths he's still playing that violin makes me so happy
Lol which one is noah and which one is the whale
jackbaradog matt owens the lead singer is nicknamed urbyy the whale.
it would be unrealistic to bring a whale to the office. they'll be no room plus it would be dead from suffocation so wouldn't make any noise
The Idiot Gamer actually the lead singer is called Charlie fink, urby the whale isn't present in the performance.
Ahhh damn my sarcasm has failed me lol
The Idiot Gamer haha nah pal, I see what You did, Hey have you heard that Charlie fink is releasing a solo album? I literally just found out so I've been listening to some good ol NATW to bring back some old memories
Brill I'll keep an eye out cheers. His performance on npr was so effortless.. I didn't mind them on their album but they shine live.
They are awesome!!!
love these guys
“I’ll do anything... to be happy”
They love what they do, and that's what wonderful about them :)
This was my first time hearing Blue Skies and it made me bawl my eyes out. I've been suffering from depression for so long now it feels unending but blue skies are coming... But I know it's hard. Beautiful.
Hang in there. You are not alone. Blue skies.
@@saltairswings Thank you for your kind reply. This made me tear up.
@Jenny Griffin 🙂
@@tav2855 Me too. I have found the right medication for me and have been enjoying a season of stability since November. I am so grateful to be enjoying the sun and the blue skies once again. How about you?
@Steven Bennett I'm indeed still enjoying blue skies since going on medication in November. I see my brilliant counsellor once a month and am 'doing the work' to undo decades of negative thinking. Are you enjoying blue skies, Steven? I love this community that this beautiful song has created.
So fantastic!
oh i miss them ):
🔥🔥
are you still listening in 2020 march
This performance is amazing
2:00 💓💝

There is something do pure about their music
loving thier hair!
awh I love them so much
The MOST beautiful rendition of Blue Skies that's out there.
wow i didnt not expect him to sing like that but his voice is definitely nice .new band to listen to
The way Tom smiles during the chorus is what music is all about.
"On my last night on Earth, I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life" . That might be my thought in my early youth as I would remember. That might describe what I've become. (Extremely aware of reality and doing what I'm supposed to do)
Completely agree! First song it's beautiful but that beat-machine totally kills it!
how come i didnt know this band sooner
I wana cry!! l.i.f.e.g.o.e.s.o.n EPICNESS!
Sweet sound!!
so, so adorable.

Hahahaha off course..!
There are few npr tiny desk concerts that I visit often but this is one of them their style is offbeat and original in it's own right!
Good stuff!
I just had eargasm!!!
I love Tom's bow hold. Hes just so cute
you are going to do well. really good tone voice ,I'm catching some J Tull magic that is a rare since 70's keep working together
"this is most peculiar, this event" hahaha
Tom is so adorable!
I forgot about these guys!
They are so adorable and they play beautiful
I miss them...
I for one was glad to hear he was alright after Ben Stiller got his head trapped in that vice. Life goes on indeed.
1:22 Awwhhh
He's amazing!
I'd love to hear them cover some they might be giants songs.
Amazinggg
