Lake Street Dive, "Musta Been Something" Night Owl | NPR Music

[@cestrell]

I genuinely can't believe what I just heard. That could've been the best musical performance I've heard in many years. It "checked all the boxes" for me and though I've never even heard of them until 8 minutes ago, I'll be looking for their music.

[@ucrpbds]

Carlos Estrella they have a wonderful library! Happy listening! I came across them quite accidentally myself last year and I just can’t get enough!!!

[@rachelsewell7026]

@@joseramos9057 same except for it has only been about 45 min for me. I can’t get enough.

[@anderseckstrand7033]

Their music is medicinal. 🖖

[@anthonysullivan3238]

Their Tiny Desk (HOME) Performance is sensational

[@onlyrick]

Choosing the bongos for this made all the difference. Good call.

[@delewan]

Mike Calabrese is a fine, fine musician.

[@gdavid4509]

Agreed primal purity

[@anderseckstrand7033]

Yeay bongos! 🙌

[@fc7alibi]

I was just noticing this. What a great choice. Adds to the desolate longing feeling of the song.

[@lincoln3307]

Rachael Price.... Straight voice, no Auto tune, no echo or reverb... Just natural ambiance of the room and her WONDERFULNESS!!! Falling hard for this lady.

[@olivermoriarty]

You and the rest! 👌

[@deeliciousplum]

An exceptionally beautiful singing voice. I love the fact that the musicians provided the perfect amount of space and a grounding landscape for Rachael Price to paint on.

[@phthisics]

Such an insightful observation.

[@anderseckstrand7033]

Precisely

[@johndavidvanvalin]

Probably the most underrated singer in the world.

[@jasonbuckenberger3122]

Wow...Just..Wow. In the age of autotune and electronic everything what a phenomenal breath of fresh air! Rachel doesn't get anywhere near the attention or accolades for having one of the most incredible voices in music. Unbelievable range!! So good

[@joematchmusic2232]

J B - Her name is spelled Rachael.

[@sarafe1]

Agreed

[@olivermoriarty]

Ditto! She is off the charts good. Her song What I'm Doing Here is memorising. Stunning!

[@andrewcourcy7877]

one of the things i like about tiny desks is the quality of recording. sound is always spot on.

[@fastjazz]

In a world where vocal hystrionics dominate this is a pure balm for the soul - just an extraordinary voice and an extraordinary singing ability!

[@garyholman2768]

Why would anyone ever thumbs this down? This is fucking beautiful. That keyboard. That Voice. The Lyrics. The arraignment. Beautiful.

[@olivermoriarty]

They're bitter and jealous. Sadly there's a lot out there. ✌

[@carolyn6569]

I love love love this song. The heartache, the pain...it’s so beautifully expressed.

[@xoanprego2275]

Have no words... It's perfect. Thanks LSD for a pearl this performance is. My mind is floating... I feel I could fall in love with the whole world. Thanks again Lake Street Dive. You're awesome.

[@louadams2178]

Just made me aware that Lake Street Dive= LSD..🤔

[@FrancisDrew-q3j]

This is a religious experience. This is coming from an atheist.

[@jonathanhoward9533]

Amazing song. I love the message, too. Nothing has to be wrong for you to fail. Sometimes you just fall short.

[@bobcullen4170]

Deliberate, disciplined, retro soulful, with a wicked band and singer that's absolutely amazing.....took me a long time to discover them but I'm making up for it as of late 🎶😁

[@deanroddey2881]

From 3:30 to 4:00'ish, the Duckster is playing some really tasteful stuff back there on the guitar. It really adds to the atmosphere nicely.

[@ryutou-ki4dl]

i will NEVER forget the first time i saw/heard this. I had eaten an edible and i have no tolerance so i was pretty in the zone and this was transformative to witness. her voice and control is so perfect its as she recorded the chorus once and replayed it each time. its so rehearsed and so perfect each and EVERY time she performs this song you couldnt tell the diff. what a vocalist.

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

Rachael Price is absolutely one of the best vocalist performing today. Another great LSD song.

[@olivermoriarty]

Yup!

[@yodanno]

This song is an experience. You can’t properly describe it to someone else with words alone. You can simply tell them they need to experience it themselves to understand. I’m glad I was gifted with this by these wonderful artists.

[@DavidTransformer]

Gotta love Rachel Price. Voice of an angel.

[@joematchmusic2232]

DavidTransformer - Her name is spelled Rachael.

[@DavidTransformer]

Thanks Jo

[@VOByRobbins]

This is what the NPR sound engineers live for -- wow!

[@michiellombaers3198]

One of the few reasons I could be persuaded with to move to the US ... to be a NPR tiny desk sound engineer. (ok, engineering "Live from Here" should do the trick too)

[@Size108]

Michiel Lombaers what mix is she singing into. It looks and sounds great.

[@Size108]

Meant to say Mic

[@michiellombaers3198]

@@Size108 ; The standard tool used by NPR for their "Tiny Desk" recordings is the Sennheiser MKH 418-S. It's a stereo "shotgun" mic that combines a bidirectional placed sideways with a hyper cardoid front. You can mix those two into a virtual X-Y setup.

[@globalsoundconcerts]

Truth

[@outcastriley]

Such an amazing voice and the band is incredible too

[@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458]

oml 2:40 that harmony the four vocalists made was perfect. The texture from the guy and the round tamber from the bassist... so good

[@matth6932]

Lesson on dynamics, spaces between notes and group cohesion. Beautiful @lakestreetdive and @NPRmusic. Thank-you.

[@MrStanleyMilton]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@MrGLWatkins]

Grateful for being granted this gorgeous gem from such a gifted group of guys and gals.

[@davidbarrett4586]

Gerald Watkins straight up G

[@CBR250RMAN]

This group of musicians along with the eloquent and beautifully talented vocals of Rachel Price, have placed Lake Street Dive at the very Top of my list. It's been two months straight listening to this incredible band.

[@MrBino227]

What a soothing voice . Relaxed me oh so much 😍

[@markmoore588]

432 mhz to my ears

[@Transterra55]

That is what I call musical finesse. Outstanding! Live performances always add that extra something lost in studio recordings. Kudos LSD!

[@jamcrane3]

William Conqueror Absolutely! In the studio they strive for perfection, and often miss it!

[@macho_kid]

absolutely in love with every aspect of this amazing song.

[@carson80666]

I feel like this should have 4 billion,500 views. 1 for every person on earth and the 500 times I've listened

[@jeffkempster1818]

This girl has got one of the best voices I've heard in a long time. Listen to her all day long can't believe there not more known than they should be

[@alanhunter6279]

Saw them in Bristol Uk two nights ago they were absolutely amazing one tiny gripe would have loved some more bass solos from Bridget but that's just me! The whole evening was fantastic

[@ronalrocco4788]

Bridget...quiet presence.

[@samba707]

These guys are crushing it. Each one of them is great on their own and when you put them all together there’s no one better these days. It’s time to put out a live album.

[@bluesdjben]

Beautiful performance. The song of theirs I keep coming back to.

[@romclaughlin11]

I keep coming back to this. Experiencing this song at Red Rocks in September was pure magic. Wish I could relive it forever.

[@williamehandyjr.4017]

Thank you Lake Street Dive for sharing your art gift with us! In appreciation I stand.

[@hamsterdangler]

Nothing less than consummate professionals, absolutely perfect, and performed with such feeling. Thank you.

[@zachp5701]

I’ve seen them live 4 times and they’re always brilliant!

[@chimadestiny412]

I am in a Night Shift in a Job, I thank God for, but I know I want something else. Listening to this music and knowing I can do something more than the job I am doing while preparing for an interview on Wednesday for a job I love, just made me keep crying.

[@Offender666]

Rachaels voice should be prescribed as a medicinal aide for people dealing with stress..

[@delewan]

You are indeed, a Factologist.

[@staciemilmeister151]

this one is a strong anti-anxiety drug! kzbin.info/www/bejne/opS4lqKqnbiDr8U

Along with the medicinal cannabis naturally, that is helping me enjoy this all the more, despite the chronic pain. ...and dark chocolate.

This is beautiful. I love everything about this. Her phrasing is lovely....and the base is giving life!

That was so awesome I just had to go to all my social media platforms to find you everywhere, Lake Street Dive and then Rachael and Vilray.

[@RoliFrei]

I saw them last year in Flagstaff. She has the most beautiful voice. The band looked exhausted but sounded wonderful.

[@kristenjames1919]

that drumming adds so much

[@ashleyhw4388]

This was really nice. 👍🏽 I had my mind prepared to skip to the next video because I had never heard of her... but the soul and effortlessness in her voice made me stay.

[@ЮрийСверчков-м6л]

AWESOME!!! Very soft and deep sound with awesome lirycs.

Wow Beautiful music and a wonderful voice on show Excellent song and very haunting

[@maxcruz666]

The voice..i could swear i was in heaven! LSD is just oooozing with talent..every one of u!

[@wpjones805]

LSD is an antidote to the toxic environment we live in today. Great music, played with a deft touch, a lot of heart and soul and even a sense of humor and fun. Their fans reflect it too- the people who comment on their videos are positive and respectful of one another I don't care who you are, where you come from, what your politics are or what your opinion on representational vs abstract visual arts is- if you like LSD, we're cool. I might think you're wrong, but I believe there's hope that you'll come around to the "right" answer, or maybe I'm the one who will come around. Bless LSD and their fans.

[@htanuja]

Put my earphone on, close my eyes and i let my body move by the music, pure relaxation

[@Goatbeez]

She makes me cry (in a good way) all the time

[@chriscavanaugh1001]

The band keeps it all together while Rachael just rips and improvs, then they bring it all back for the ending. Just phenomenal

[@MrStanleyMilton]

Great ending too.

This is astounding

missed the Tahoe concert.... bought the tickets... but was not able to go... should of anyway...may never be another opportunity... a big favorite!!

[@joshuar9360]

How does she sound even better than on the album?

[@Bpf1893]

Joshua R true talent.

[@denniswarren3668]

No one overplayed anything, just added to the melody and provided, "punctuation!" Outstanding!

[@Gassyyetclassy]

This song is perfect for this series.

[@BassByTheBay]

*Love* her voice. So rich and nuanced. Wonderful 🤩.

Daaaaang.....accurate

[@133pumpkinhead]

yes.

[@joelbates6499]

Honey too :-D

[@deanroddey2881]

I have another analogy or two, but I'm too much of a gentleman to go into details. Just spine tinglingly good. Subtlety, taste, control and talent.

[@delewan]

Someone once described Diana Krall's voice as "whiskey with a touch of wild honey." Rachael Price as melted chocolate (the good shit, of course) is spot on.

[@RyanReece]

chills, chills, chills

[@john24108]

So glad that the instruments give Rachael's effortless voice plenty of breathing room here.

[@MrStanleyMilton]

That's called class on the part of the band...restraint is a rare quality in musicians anymore.

[@rudineicardoso2879]

Amazing voice, and flow

[@wlodell]

Beautiful music...thank you Lake Street Dive. This band and others like them create music with actual melodies that separate them from the awful tribal sounds of distorted warbling, screeches, chants, pounding of drums and cacophony of electronic instruments in rap music and contemporary pop culture styles.

[@1988ziggy]

This is beautiful
