Elephant Revival "Drop"

[@EducatedSkeptic]

Only discovered this group through their incredible cover of "White Rabbit," but have been amazed by each and every subsequent performance that I'ver seen. THEY are not only incredible - beyond the awesome vocals of Bonnie Paine - but each of the instrumentalists (viola, guitar, bass) are so totally awesome! I clearly need to win the PowerBall so I can bring them to our local venue out in the middle of nowhere !!!!!!!!!!

[@angelcarrion2042]

Check out their cover of Schism.

[@JohnBender1313]

Same. But I found them after Schizm. I am now in love.

[@stevelaw3886]

​@@JohnBender1313 it was my love of Tool that brought me here too. I can scarcely believe it led me to a band who straddle all the sub-genres of music I typically can't be arsed with, and yet I think they're one of the best bands I've ever heard! 😅

[@stevensmith6979]

This song has literally become one of my all time favorite songs.

[@davidhorsfield4462]

Bonnies vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Can`t get them out of my head

[@vincents9620]

their Tool Schism cover led me here--fantastic band

[@brookpeterson313]

This song is an absolute masterpiece

[@kristinewest1479]

You can feel such a restrained power from ER. It's is intense.

[@robandolsek8256]

In this moment, I truly believe this is the best song ever written!

[@EducatedSkeptic]

Have come to love Elephant Revival! Wow, such incredible lyrics and musicality - everyone is so totally wesome, from the violin to the vocals, the upright bass and guitar to the incredible percussion and banjo work. Just so totally awesome across the spectrum!

[@tapsX3]

What an amazing voice. This whole ensemble are so unique and wonderful musicians.

[@christophg124]

These guys have the best live show. magic

[@romerjason]

Bonnie \’s micro facial expressions are simply adorable. Ph yeah, then there’s the immense musical and vocal talent as well.

[@jeremiahsanchez9765]

I have never been so in love with a woman in my life. So breath taking and her voice! Kudos to everyone this is an amazing song.

[@Caribloo]

This band is my new addiction. Love the name, the sound, the everything. Mind = blown!

[@christophedupont2595]

the singer especially, her tone of voice...

[@elmoblatch9787]

And now they are no more. We appreciated them while they lasted.

[@charleshash4919]

​@@elmoblatch9787 But they came back!!!!

[@detroitfunk313]

This is my favorite song in the universe. Heart stopping good.

[@robertrighetti6478]

I am subscribing to this site just because of this group!!!!!! I am "Drop" dead blown away by this performance!!! I want more!!!!

[@BeingJenniRae]

That was SO GOOD. Feel it in my soul!

[@IamYou86]

This is extremely refreshing. Unique voice, amazing lyrics and the whole band is killing it. Added to favorites!

[@CU31574]

Very cool sound. And you're right...the band IS killing it. Her voice reminds me of Devendra Banhart's in "Insect Eyes."

[@stevensmith6979]

Genius, this song gets me in touch with nature when I can't. But when I can is coming with me too. Love yall!!

[@gordonhunter3096]

Fortunate enough to hear them in Lake Placid last year ...free concert downtown that we stumbled upon after hiking all day ...absolutely amazing concert ...live music of this caliber on a Tuesday! Been listening to them ever since. Enjoy.

[@tomlettman]

Bonnie is a fabulous vocalist and the band are sensational.

[@TheBrandonmull]

The ethereal tone of this piece is amazing….

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Great mix, terrific recording from such a simple setup.

[@Straightdeal]

What a wonderfully crystal clear voice...

[@susanechols5977]

Heard these folks on a radio show. Very unusual voice lead singer has. Sounds like a bird singing in an English Voice. Very refreshing! All the instruments just compliment the body of each song.

[@thomasconner9743]

As long as I've listened to you guys first comment. I can't tell you the thoughts of myself that I've discovered while hiking to your songs. No other band gets me so emotionally involved.

[@keithcecil8165]

I've seen them four times. I can't get enough of the wonderful sound. Even better live!

[@milododds1]

+Keith Cecil I have purchased quite a few of their albums but I wish they would sell more of their live performances...because you are right they are even better live.

[@goldthredz]

Tons of their live stuff is on Archive.org.

[@jamminjtree3347]

Twice at Mystic Hot Springs!

[@danielking6205]

Same! And I always leave happier than when came

[@MrDaveita192]

Such a wide range of musical influence, The lead singer Bonnie Paine sounds very jazzy to me. This group is so dang cool, beyond words...

[@travisrambo9332]

My god, her voice is a cold drink of water on a hot summer's day. More please!

[@alexk9850]

Best description. She's amazing

[@greycat2n1]

had to listen again...love her voice

[@jpshipwash6240]

I’m a little confused. Not about how much I am astounded by and in love with their music. I only found them a week ago and started researching about them. I don’t know whether they are still performing together, but from what I’ve read, it appears not. Life moves us on and I can live with that. But I’m gonna mourn if they’re not together.

[@elmoblatch9787]

I believe they are playing a show in March 2023 in Denver, but we'll see.

[@CatDieselPwr]

Check out Mandolin Orange, Music At The Mansion on KZbin ;-)

[@pukaria]

My understanding is that they never "broke up" but they didn't want to be a band touring full-time anymore. So each individual member is pursuing their own thing, but they still play shows together occasionally.

[@jpshipwash6240]

@@pukaria Thanks for that info! That means that maybe I’ll be able to see them someday. 😁

[@ronaldriis1023]

Sorry to hear that they are no more. Bonnie Paine’s voice helps me get through the day.

[@carsonpark5826]

Thank you guys!!! We love you!!! Carson Park from: The Hustle Birds

[@jenniferhorvath2962]

Once I was a big drop of water I was in the desert I was in high Was in high demand Saw you turn, saw you turn, turn away Water came down, hit the dry ground Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks Spread around Under and down Down through the ground Carry on, now beyond Past where all the dancing rained like thunder After laughter and music, different sounds To where the thunder became something Like the pulsing of the flowers Which is something like the nothing Like the pulsing like the hours But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower Recalled the time to climb the line A honeysuckle tower I was water brought to lifted leaves Of daffodils and daily leaves Drank into the grace of trees The aspens like the willows weep It hung so low It touched below The surface of A still puddle Did I behold Reflection told Looking back at me The eyes of my body So I jumped in Back into my skin And sang this song Of where I'd been Once I was a big drop of water I spread around and became part of many living in the land Saw you turn when I turned, turned away In the still, in the still water And we're still water

[@juniem5438]

Jennifer Pfeiffer thank you ! I LOVE it. My hearing is not real acute, so had missed some of these adorable words. ❤️

[@rogerfindlay6836]

Truly wonderful. Thankyou. R.

My favorite song

[@CarlT-cc9bn]

What a lovely tune.

[@stevemiller1794]

Love the vocals

[@kristinewest1479]

This is my favorite ER tune. I haven't checked, but I'd bet Bonnie wrote the lyrics. She truly seems to enjoy singing it and that comes out in her voice.

[@StephanieForryan]

Great performance - and exceptional recording. I love everything about this.

[@milododds1]

Me too !! Bonnie is absolutely amazing but so are the rest of them. Their music is soothing to my soul.

[@TheNaaf-ui6nl]

It's been this long since...

[@murrayhobbs]

excellent

[@Vaeuca]

Can anyone recommend any music group with a similar style? Love almost all the songs of these guys.

She sounds a lot like Natalie Merchant. Just wonderful..

[@behindtheseeyesiseewhatyou8953]

Reminds me of PJ Harvey… but in a good world, like the Alice in Wonderland Version’

FUN song ! Does anyone know where I can see the lyrics ?

[@michaelcapshaw5838]

June Carlson in the comment above yours

[@artzinrezidenc]

“So I jumped back into my skin and sang this song of where I’d been.”

[@satexguy1]

The lead singer reminds me of Natalie Merchant. The music is sublime ~ hints of Americana, far east, classical, native american.

[@indyrmitch1]

Further back in time, Melaine come to mind. lol

[@lisaparker-stiles3553]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. MELANIE!!!!!!!!! She reminds me of Melanie too. She also has hints of Laura Love.

[@johnpluck6126]

Have they broken up?..,

[@EducatedSkeptic]

Rumour was they did break up (a personal relatonship with Bonnie and went south), but at least as a group they apparently decided it would be better to get back together for the wonderful music they produced together. May we hope it is so.

[@greysonciganer2380]

I’m so sad they broke up

[@mustangmikep51]

What! bcause of Covid 19? sad is right ..saw them in St. Augustine Florida few years back " Beautiful" people in the group

[@TheologyUnleashed]

Not many song have a djembe intro

[@robertkapler6227]

Sure wish they didn't break up

[@Shackleton71]

Aren’t they just on hiatus allowing fiddle player to be a mother?
