The Maccabees Child BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge 2011

[@isatagada]

I'm crying just thinking I will never see that song live now...

[@jjhatch5697]

I went to see them in Birmingham in 2012 right after this album came out, Child was (I think?) the first song they played and it was absolutely incredible

[@YoamoaMapOfYourHead]

Ten years now

[@PatrickSterenchuk]

This whole album is beautiful. Every last bit of it shines.

[@catthedogaremint]

3.24 quick drum stick change, smooth

[@TertiaMay3]

probably the most amazing song ever and its live even better

[@KingZo1016]

Who can dislike this performance? Seriously. If you didn't enjoy listening to this group, why come to this video? This song performance is utterly amazing

[@opioverde]

the maccabees feel the music!

[@hagard14]

Saw these at Electric Picnic few months back. This song just sent me into another world, it was pitch black dark, cold enough so that you could see your breath in the night air, they started to play this and i was enveloped by pure magic. Great song, great band, great festival, I'd strongly advise any music lover to go. Fantastic. Maccabees

[@mitsukosuki]

This album is just perfect. Every single song is pure magic. Great lyrics, amazing Orlando's voice and these guitars..incredible. Really mature album. One of my favorites if not my favorite album ever.

[@davidcurran2652]

I can't think of a better song to open an album. Simply perfect. With regard to the mic dying, I think it actually looked really cool seeing Orlando sing but not actually hearing his voice. The Maccabees are the sex.

[@lilleitrim]

I’ve been coming back here for years, one of my favourites, not sure if it was ever intentional for Orlando not to be heard at the end, but it works & it somehow adds to the ambiance. That voice, everything!

[@anginman123]

has to be one of the best songs of the last 10 years, especially this performance, so much better than the album version, the drums done my head in a bit on the recording, but this is just magic!

[@sugarlumps73]

Love the bass in this song.

[@Interbasser]

....the play live better than many bands in studio... AWESOME!!!

[@xmellymox]

Their music is too beautiful for words

[@helenes4409]

Always a favourite

[@Interbasser]

Performance is great and clean, sounds like an album track! Excellence musicians and SINGER

[@ZahradeLancre]

If you guys haven't yet, you HAVE to see this band live. They are AMAING. And the singer is SO polite and sweet.

[@zomzom7802]

I LOVE 1.56MIN JUST THE MOMENT HE HITS THE GUITAR.

[@athossalmeron9952]

ya! haha that was so great!

[@michellepalacios8532]

"Never as a child Would you give this time of day You would take it from the shadows And you give it another name"

[@jessrambles1]

I saw them live probably around the same time as this was filmed and the lasting memory I have is of the performance of this song. I think it was the one they opened with and it was absolutely fantastic

[@danielbarrerahd]

This song is pure energy!

[@mikeyellis4702]

This song and band are beautiful end of 🙏💜🎶💜

[@ZahradeLancre]

I'm the same way. Their songs all just feel so heavy. This is one of the few bands that hits me on an emotional level.

[@xmellymox]

I'm even jealous of Orlando's microphone being that close to him!!

[@TheLucvD]

stunning... i'm blown away... they just keep getting better

[@MrWilliamPowers]

it fits in with their whole we are a band its not just a frontman thing they have going. such a modest and kind band I've met them breifly at gigs and they seem so genuinely pleased to meet fans and hear opinions. felix white is without a doubt the nicest man I have ever met

[@sarayiyi]

My favorite band.... YES. No doubt about it

[@flo15jo]

Good Lord and butter .... we may not be able to do much in this country any more, but we can still hold our heads up when our 'popular' musicians are of this quality. Intelligent stuff for adults.

[@BonkyChilliams]

And I got to see these guys with Mumford & Sons in Portland!!! These guys are amazing!

[@padraigmurphy3785]

Very In Rainbows inspired... I love it

[@elliotjwinter]

seriously good! so much emotion in this song.

[@xmellymox]

Love Felix's little smile at the end! Aw!

[@TheAcquiesce17]

has to be my fav band at the moment...

[@eleanorandthedream]

I just can't stop listening to this

[@poisonxdonut]

ughhhhhh this song always has me on my toes.

[@l33dsunited]

I loved there last album and by the sound of this, I'm gonna love the new one.

[@SnakeOil47]

2:45 OH GOD HE'S ANGEL

[@xmellymox]

So true. I love it so much I have Given to the Wild tattooed on my wrist ;)

[@AndreaskaseSkate]

it's like...wow..just...what..wow

[@mizbrightside97]

OMG me too!! i'll forever love Mumford and Sons for intriducing me to this amazing band!! ♥

[@xmellymox]

Definitely! they are SO good!

[@TomShannonAnimation]

I'm going to see them again in december when they're supporting the black keys, literally can't go a day without listening to them haha

[@samuelRA]

Muito bom! Dá até prazer de ouvir. Se você é Brasileiro, junta pra selfie🤳

[@Martymac1973]

masterpiece, truly perfect.

[@stephencole5729]

Love love love .

[@alannahhughes770]

beautiful is the only word...

[@CLARMCHL]

Brilliant!

[@CeciliaVargasMedicinaUNAM]

Hermosa canción ♥.

[@luvialopez2454]

Is perfecto! Culto entra al cielo 💙💫🥇⚡ welcome to SKY

[@MarilynMonroeFanChannel]

Lovely

[@DaddyOJr]

AMAZEBALLS!!!

[@emilyverlie]

I don't for the life of me understand how they're not bigger? Still playing small venues? It's not right! It's music injustice! However, when they eventually get HUGE we can stand by and be like 'we told you so'

[@bonneylaurence]

i agree with @emilyverlie intimate personal venues are a great way to see your favourite bands. Im going to see these guys in the acadamey in dublin in march and im lookin forward to hearing there new songs live. these guys should be as famous as coldplay.

[@eltonsantos1569]

Perfect❤

[@opioverde]

:,) This is epic i agree in live this song s magic (too feel to follow) :D

[@arronarronarron]

Good new album

[@dickslippery]

lovely stuff, looking forward to the new album

[@joesharman236]

@boogie624 it's a Gibson es 335, the semi hollowbody one. I saw them on the last date of their album tour, met felix- who was getting McDonald's for the band, and by chance got front row. One of the best nights of my life. They're so amazing live it is better than the album. The brass is good but masks the intricate parts in the song. So so so good.

[@TheStratusdj]

My new capel nr 1

[@maulibr]

4:16 - 4:29 one of greatest solo i've ever heard.

[@Muckydoggy1]

I kinda like the microphone dying at the end, gives us a chance to appreciate the instrumentals.

[@ozboz2001]

Awesome track even with a couple of technical issues - roll on Jan 9th when the album lands on my doormat!!!

[@Njnj-nc5ms]

The best

[@anginman123]

This music is utter magic, has to be the best song from a modern band iv heard in fuckin years, absolute genius! and the older generations moan about music being soulless nowadays!?!?!?!

[@NoMoreClosedDoors]

This is miles better than the album version

[@MotherTeresa456]

1.56, Phwoar Hugo. Orlando sounds amazing x

[@stoxy10]

@emilyverlie You're telling me that you're complaining about them playing in smaller venues? Like you'd prefer to see them live in a stadium filled with thousands of people rather them see them in a personal, intimate gig with only hundreds of people?

[@juleztrokE]

This drummer as a hell

[@BREMNERSESSIONS]

If you listen to this backwards all you can hear is someone screaming GOOOOOOD

[@MrRossYtube]

Anyone feeling that this is sooo like Foals? I love Foals, I now love Maccabees...

[@chloeag321]

love felix face at the end ;)

[@gemgh420]

1.56 COOL.

[@megwnw]

omg i need to get a puppy asap and call it orlando

[@jnfl16]

wish they turned the bass up a bit more, its great in this song

[@godzila991]

this shit its great

[@dmrsk1899]

Felix at the end tho.........

[@ozzywilson13]

@cgimenezz which probably has something to do with the fact that it s yet to be released

[@emilyverlie]

@stoxy10 No, I've seen them loads, and love that intimacy, don't get me wrong. The point I was trying to raise is that they're AMAZING and still a small band. I was trying to say I can't get my head around that, it makes no sense to me.

[@SMB291]

I actually think it sounded better without the vocals at the end :D Turned into a great instrumental outro

[@GuillermoJuarezS]

does anyone know what's the 2nd mic orlando is using, the one with reverb? Looks like a Rode classic but not sure..

[@sonyson]

@MrRossYtube Yeah, the album really does have the same feel as Total Life Forever had, definitely deeper and darker in the tunes, the maccabees just get stronger and stronger in every album. This is so mature, and just a great album. If you get a chance to see them live do go, their gigs are even scrappier than Foals's (and that some serious mess you'll get into). Album of the year.

[@TangleTwister]

what kind of gibson guitar is the lead singer playing? anyone help plz... thanks.

[@eveloH8sYT]

Does anyone know what kind of melody maker is Orlando playing? (as that's what I assume it is) Have looked online but didnt't find a dual pickup (p90?) with stop tail and tuneomatic fitted.

[@sofiaspanou776]

[@jaimenolasko]

al final dejan los puros instrumentos? ahah Nunca como un niño ¿Le daría esta hora del día

[@madd9820]

bruh, what is hugo even doing at the end? XD even felix cannot with this man lol

[@wynneconor]

The new album sounds like Total Life Forever (Foals) & Smoother (Wild Beasts) had a love child.

[@MrRossYtube]

@sonyson Yeah, this song reflects spanish sahara I think, or maybe blue blood...I have a massive infatuation with Foals so maybe I'll like this album. I'll try go to a gig, they are touring...

[@bufyn]

@ozzywilson13 indeed! along with bombay bicycle club, who have yet to release an album that is anything less than exemplary!

[@saraminc]

Lost the sound of his vocals in last ten secs?

[@rastdavid726]

What a beautiful voice, very rare.

[@jessaipa9957]

Sound Engineer doing his damn good job....

[@MrFerezu]

I was already wondering if i was the only one wondering this

[@andrewtucker94]

anyone know what guitar Orlando's playing? looks awesome

[@elliotjwinter]

@andrewtucker94 gibson melody maker special i believe

[@pepijnn7]

anyone else who prefers this to the album version?

[@MrBeesknees95]

pros and cons of this album. cons: Can't play it in loud speakers because you miss of a lot of the subtleties. Pros: whole album with headphones is literally sex in my ear holes. Being a bass player I love the bass lines on some of the songs.

[@jamiecal11]

listen closely, you'll hear it. but it's only meant to add to the vibe of the song, in all honesty you probably wouldn't miss it if it wasn't there.

[@elliotjwinter]

I much prefer this to the album version.

[@LicenseToTill]

way better than Pelican's. I think some songs will be dissapointin. But this one is brilliant, absolutely great

[@t0msk8]

you can hear orlando's guitar just hear properly, or get good earphones haha

[@emilyverlie]

@bonneylaurence Definitely :)
