Oct. 7, 2019 | Robin Hilton -- When Sharon Van Etten made her Tiny Desk debut back in the fall of 2010, her voice exuded fragile, gentle grace. Performing songs from that year's Epic, she huddled around a single acoustic guitar with backup singer Cat Martino to perform a set of tender and evocative folk-pop songs.
Cut to nearly a decade later. One of only a handful of artists to get a repeat headlining engagement at the Tiny Desk, Van Etten has spent the last few years purging her bucket list: She's become an actress (appearing as a guest star on The OA), released a string of increasingly aggressive albums (the latest of which is this year's synth-driven Remind Me Tomorrow), toured the world, performed on Twin Peaks, written music for films, become a mom, gone back to school and popped up in collaborations with everyone from Land of Talk to Jeff Goldblum.
So it's only natural that this Tiny Desk concert feels different; you can hear it before Van Etten and her band even show up onscreen. Its pace set by the ticking beat of a drum machine, "Comeback Kid" is in full bloom here, with a swaying arrangement that fills the room before Van Etten opens her mouth. Backed by a full band - including frequent Van Etten collaborator Heather Woods Broderick, who played the Tiny Desk as a member of Horse Feathers way back in 2009 - the singer performs with considerable intensity here, seething through "You Shadow" before punctuating the set-closing "Seventeen" with a scream that slashes through the office air.

I would love to
Man "Seventeen" always gets me . One of the best songs I've heard in recent years
...every single time, in every single version
Same. Then she leaned into the crowd to scream the song's climax right where I was standing 2nd row. I could hear her almost as well as I could the amplified version of herself. The moment absolutely froze me and now that part never fails to make my hair stand on end. I love the power of great music.
Same. Incredible, incredible.
Still the best song of 2019 in my opinion
I agree, that was frickin awesome!!!
I know Sharon Van Etten is not trying to forge a career by making 51-year-old fathers of three adult children cry at their computer, and I'm not saying I'm that guy...ok, I am. I am that guy. Beethoven once said, "To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." As a kid, I admired technical proficiency, and that's important. But that ain't what music is about. Her passion...that came from her soul...that moved me. She moves me. The world needs more of this.
Beethoven's words are why punk bands are more relevant than ever. They play all the wrong notes, but boy is there some passion in it.
Jason M, what a reply 🙌🏼
You look younger man yisus
'But that ain't what music is about.'....100%. People who dont get this just don't get it.
cosign that. reading her wiki during seventeen is a real emotional roller coaster.
Good god, her screaming on seventeen made me feel some type of way
lloré
Seriously. I’ve been watching it over and over.
"made me fell some type of way" have you been watching UpNext?
It's primal and very stirring. I'm afraid she's shredding her vocal chords with that technique though. I hope she doesn't sing that way very often or that she gets a coach to help her not hurt herself to sound a certain way.
She's super talented and I'm interested to see what she does in the future!
Same!
The yelling on seventeen gives me tears and goosebumps every time I watch this.
she cried too
As a 23 year old woman on her period listening to this rendition of Seventeen has been a WHIRLWIND
So painfully accurate 😅
I'm exactly 23, on my period and crying here 😂😂❤️ I feel you girl
I’m a 17 year old male (not on his period) and it’s still a whirlwind
Hollie, you don't need to "overshare" on UA-cam.... :-)
yeah the merciless cycle of my reproductive organs that literally cradle the growth of human life should prob be more discrete
Every time the sun comes up I want to listen Sharon Van Etten.
But I shit in your bathroom? wait...
Her first tiny desk was so fantastic. This one is good as well.
Funny....I wish it was 7 all night...
DoctorWaffles PHD you know it probably all balances out in the end ?
Same. Have had her on repeat for months.
Her scream in seventeen has the same energy as bon iver in Heavenly Father
Justin's Wooh! is the only true religion
Yay I'm excited to go check that out now if that's true, cuz that energy is everything.
Yo im like a year late with this, but if you liked bon iver’s heavenly father you may also be excited to hear (if you dont already know) that bon iver and sharron van etten together played a rendition of her song love more which is unimaginably good
Radio stations will be playing Seventeen 100 years from now and it will still be completely destroying people
The way she thanked her band with true gratitude and appreciation.
first time listenning. i was not prepared for what happens in "seventeen". i think i need help now, oh god...
Agreed w the third song. Top shelf.
Yep she really freaked her band out at the end there. Cool.

00:00 Comeback Kid
03:05 You Shadow
08:23 Seventeen
Thanks
Thanks
Thank you
Thanks
Many thanks
Seventeen makes me emotional every time I hear it. Such a powerful song and the way she delivers it is so heartwrenching.
This is on repeat lately -- so good.
Interrupting Seventeen with an ad was a cruel thing to do.
brutal
Same
PAY FOR UA-cam PREMIUM-NO ADS INTERRUPT SONGS-IT'S WORTH IT, BRO. IT WILL SAVE YOUR SANITY.
@@JoRobertsGaming1984 what adblock do you use
the cruise line whose ad I got subjected to is now on my blacklist
Coming back to this over a year later and it's still one of the most incredible sets I've seen on a show chock full of them. If this had happened on network tv back in the 90-early 00's- like MTV Unplugged- it would be a moment EVERYONE still talks about. It's that good. And I'm a lifetime cynic.
Totally agree
Damn Sharon really gettin into 17, almost made me fuckin cry. Don't think I have seen her so into singing that song before. Love her to bit tho. She is the best.
Check out the live version in Glastonbury as well. Really soulful
therapy: expensive
sharon van etten tiny desk concert: free
Yasss!
go to therapy
@@natalianogueira466 jajajajaja
Omg that's why I'm here too!
Beeba Ritter haha welcome!
11:40 MADE ME FEEL LIKE CRYING HERE. WINTER IS COMING HERE
Me pasó lo mismo
I came here to write this. I don't have kids but that hit a primal cord.
All these songs are still the most honest performances I’ve seen on tiny desk. Gives me chills (In a good way) to watch.
I keep trying to turn up the already maxxed volume on my laptop because this sounds SO GOOOD I NEED IT INSIDE ME XD
11:37 RAW emotion...wow!
voice failure
Gets me every time!
this video came out when i was seventeen at a very surreal and scary time in my life, and now as a 19 year old in 2021 it still makes me cry and takes me back to that time, and 'seventeen' will never not make my heart feel the way it does now whenever i hear it. so much love to sharon and her music xx
same!!!!
How about now, hm?
I keep meaning to listen to more of her music. Getting mild patti smith vibes with this..
Little bit Stevie Nicks, little bit Patti Smith. Just a brilliantly talented woman.
She's evocative of several voices, but I always hear Patti Smith shining through.
Patti Smith is one of my heroes, but I have to say SVE’s pipes are a lot stronger than Patti’s. I think the biggest commonality between the two of them, besides the passion, is the Jersey accent apparent in their vocals.
That’s what I’m saying!!!!! I love them both so much
I love her. She could've easily gone with an acoustic song or songs, but these toned down versions of usually bombastic songs are so so lovely and moving.
So agree!!! Hi nathan
Ok Jeff
She gets more beautiful with every birthday. It's hard to stop watching her.
One of the best Tiny Desk performances ever.
Had never heard of this woman before. Now I can’t wait to go through her catalog. A UA-cam recommendation that wasn’t total crap.
this might be my favorite tiny desk concert, its an artists i didnt know of until this and i loved EVERY song in the set and seventeen has become a fvorite of mine, but i love her live performances far more than the album version. this so awesome.
This and her fist are my favs by far!!!
I've seen a number of live versions of Seventeen and I've yet to see her even slightly phone it in on the last chorus. Her commitment after being a touring musician for so long is amazing to see.
i can't stop watching her hair move and flow
TheWhyer me to
Ok brilliant. But! That hair! The shine! Ugh it’s all perfection ❤️❤️❤️
Seventeen = Extreme goosebumps
I’m here because of the movie that the title I can’t remember but I remembered the words of this beautiful therapeutic song that was played in the background of that movie.. seventeen..hauntingly beautiful! ‘I used to be free I used to be seventeen..’ I’m double that age now but still feeling seventeen..
this version of Seventeen needs an official release
The Seventeen scream always gives me C H I L L S
One of my favorite Tiny Desk performances and albums.
I can’t stop listening to this performance - I really love how SVE really leans into the strength and power behind her voice here, a bit deeper, grittier and louder than other live sets I’ve seen. Not afraid to let’er rip, so to speak - especially on Seventeen, of course. Love her always!
That scream from Seventeen really hit hard
9 years later on NPR and she's still making me 'Love More'
Imagine being the coolest human in the world
So it was you
It’s lonely. Quite cool, most of the time. And it gets old faster than a untied bag of fresh Kaiser rolls.
Seventeen is an absolute masterpiece. Love the way every chorus is a little different.
i watch this once a day, every day..
Sharon's really hit her stride with this record. Really good stuff. I've become a fan.
How many hearts did you break without wanting to? How many minds did you open? Dear, Ms. Van Etten!
Knew this would be a good one. Saw Sharon von Etten on tour with Bon Iver.. good times
Wow. Don't think my mind could process that.
That would have made me Love More
@@mementomori1174 it would've filled me with More Love.
saw them at Red Rocks. Just the time of my life.
I've played this at least 10 times already.
Me too... and then played again starting at 8:23 at least 50 times
Sharon has come full circle, and still kicking it with Heather Broderick. Cool
Never heard of her till I found this performance and it my favourite of them all.
A brilliant modern artist .Pity she did not play my favourite "Jupiter 4"
But her passion on "Just Seventeen " was worth the admission money alone . I gave her a standing ovation !
i don't think i've seen such a beautiful expression of human pain, this girls amazing, it really resonates
Its been so incredible watching her grow as an artist. THAT. VOICE. So good.
Probably one of my absolute favorite Tiny Desk Series of all time!
The screaming at the end of Seventeen makes the song 😥 ugh it's soo good
I remember the first time she was on tiny desk accompanied by another singer, Sharon was playing an acoustic guitar. She still brings a good performance as well as the band with all those synths and effects, I love it. That Jupiter4 song is eerie.
So happy to see Sharon back on Tiny Desk, especially performing Seventeen. One of my favourite songs this year!
I was literally listening to Sharon Van Etten when I got this notification.... God is real
The rawness and vulnerability of her emotions she puts into her music and performances is just what we need
Seventeen was released when I was 16, I discovered it when I was 17 that day I cry, today I'm turning 20 years old, it still feels like the first time listening to Sharon sing this
I've been waiting for a second Sharon Van Etten Tiny Desk for years. This made my morning.
Saw her in concert. She was amazing!
Love this song, such emotion.
Saw them live in Norwich, England , earlier this year. Great gig, and would travel a fair way to see them again. Great backing, particularly Heather’s backing vocals, understated but added subtle depth.
Her last February was my 2nd concert ever after Keane in 2011. Discovered her the summer before. Relate to her words at this point in my life so much. She inspires me as a songwriter ❤
YESS I have been WAITING for her return to the Tiny Desk
OH this was sooo beautiful ♥ thank u so much npr. Sharon, I hope you come back soon to Argentina!
ugh i love her
i still listen to her old tiny desk regularly
I always love seeing Sharon and Heather performing together, it always seems so grounded. 💛
Side note: "Like herding cats"... My vocabulary has expanded.
Your love is killing me is still one of my fav songs
God I love her. Glad to see her back
My heart is pounding from her performance. Givin’ it everything!
This is the best Tiny Desk Concert. It's over.
'Seventeen' is on top10 songs of the year, live version with that scream: goosebumps.
I was a very early fan of SVE and recalling how blown away I was by her voice back then, it is amazing that her voice had so much growing yet to do. She never ceases to amaze me.
It's such a captivating voice.
Me too. I remember being so excited for her second record to come out. I played the first one for all my friends (and I also randomly played it for Evan Dando from The Lemonheads--long story). "Have You Seen" from her first album was my jam. I discovered her when she played on the side stage on Sunday morning at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. At the time, we both had short black hair and bangs and people kept mistaking me for her.
Thank you ... been a fan for years and I love the attention she’s been getting of late!
Omg she sounds brilliant
Comeback Kid 0:07
You Shadow 3:04
Seventeen 8:23
Yis... a really love this woman!
This is amazing, what a voice and used perfectly. I love the way you hear someone in the room say 'wow' at the end like a genuine reaction.
Seeing her in concert was one of the highlights of my LIFE!!! And to have her perform this some was EPIC ❤
She is stunning
Loved her in The O.A!
Tiny desk concerts just never disappoint. And Sharon is fantastic!
Love her. Just brilliant.
I love the whole band...perfect
Incredible!! Love you Sharon, you really show your soul and heart when you sing. It's so special :)
My introduction to Sharon Van Etten was listening to an All Songs Considered Late Night Dispatches From SXSW in 2010 and hearing Robin get so emotional watching her perform in a church. I found her music and was hooked from that day. She just keeps getting better and better. This has to be on a short list of best Tiny Desk Concerts ever.
Thank you 🙏 NPR Tiny Desk for introducing so many artists I may not have ever heard. Sharon’s a gem.
I've basically had this on loop for the last 2 weeks
i love this performance.
She gives me hope
"Wow" at the end is an understatement! Thanks for sharing!
Simply Amazing! The emotion she brings out in Seventeen is incredible!
Given the amazing opportunity to see them perform in San Francisco this past summer. Such an outstanding performance, and to be able to see them perform with Bon Iver was such an amazing feeling. But nothing like experiencing that with the one you love the most! 🥰😊.
Sharon is stunning ( without trying to be stunning ) Saw her & her band many years ago, great show & sound. I recommend to everyone out there, if you get a chance to see her live, please do so, artist like her are few & far between.
She's incredible.
What about energy!!!
I love you sharon
Dude her talent is unreal. Such great music and a wonderfully rich voice!!
Seventeen is my favorite song of hers and this performance was so moving
chills.. amazing
