Local Natives - When Am I Gonna Lose You (Acoustic)

When Am I Gonna Lose You began its life as a sad, stripped down song full of regret over losing something that felt too good to be true. Over the months of completing it, the song became more triumphant and hopeful. We wanted to record a version that captured the ache it had been born with.
The video is directed by Jonathan Chu.

I've watched this video about 25 times already and never even noticed that. It has me fucked up. The drummer is literally drinking tea and reading a book. That's badass.

Love this song, annoying how many mid year top lists are sleeping on this underappreciated album.

[@skewrlynesis]

this song is probably my favorite song of all time just because of the emotional message it conveys. there’s few songs that genuinely move to me tears and this is one of them

[@yilkamadiedo5956]

Wait, when am I gonna lose you? How will I let you slip through? Careless or unkind? Trace the curving on the coastline Santa Lucia cliffside Stay here for the night I remember you said Everything has its place Now we'll lie in our bed Wondering how to explain You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose Take another one if you need it Do you already feel it? I felt it from the start A gray silhouette of you dancing A shadow play that we're cast in On the cabin walls You were floating to me In a slow motion fade I could finally see That you believed in fate You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose I remember you closing the shutters And laying down by my side And the light that was still slipping through It was painting your body in stripes I remember the trees summoned down Like an archangel choir And the ocean was all we could see And I knew I wanted you When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose You When am I gonna lose

[@_chris96_]

Thank you ma'am ☺

[@junetwentythree]

This song is just so chillingly relevant in my life right now.

[@ankey2003]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever came across

[@sarahcarolinepadgett8183]

Matt sipping on coffee and reading is the best part. I love it

[@Arttective]

You guys should acoustic-nize all of your songs!

[@y.a.pthered]

I'm amazed at the chemistry of this band constantly

[@mass-cp6jf]

"I remember you closing the shutters And laying down by my side And the light that was still slipping through It was painting your body in stripes" why does this hit me so hard?

[@alexf9447]

Because it’s someone admiring you in a very innocent moment 🥲.

[@RochellB46]

That part gets me every time it’s so intense 😢

[@lavenderwoods]

My 8 month old twins and i listen to this version of the song very often! They love it, and almost looks like they try to sing along. Very calming and so much talent! Thank you for the beautiful art. ❤🎉

[@YoGrapes]

3:19 always gets me in the original and the lyricism hits even harder here. thank you for this.

Goose bumps just popped up all over my arms listening to this... That's talent.

[@saitamablackgoku2889]

Matt chilling with a book is the subtle highlight of this piece, but all in all LN always proves why they are the best of the best, ASK about them. This was amazing

[@reddtime1087]

This is the most beautiful thing my ears have been blessed with

[@blendedgaming254]

I was able to see them play in Dallas last week... and they are so amazing. i was already in love with everything they do, but seeing them in person was mind blowing. They even had to delay coming out for almost 30 minutes because Taylor some how burned his hand right before the start of the show lol? But they went on to play for almost 2 hours. Such incredible musicians, the aura and vibe they have together cannot be beat in my eyes

[@Lemmiethinkitover]

Wow… how have I never heard this version?! My heart is permanently intertwined with this now. ❤

[@pugsandhugsnotdrugs]

Approximately at 2:43 minutes in, is my favorite part. I can’t quite explain it but I feel it with my entire soul. I loved this version. Aside from the song, Matt reading and drinking coffee makes me think about listening to this song in the early mornings with my own cup of coffee.

[@miguelgonzalez6495]

Same here. It’s the imagery the lyrics paint. And it hits harder when you can relate to them.

[@alexf9447]

It’s the most beautiful lyrics I’ve ever heard. You just know after witnessing a very innocent, minuscule moment of your partner, yet finding the beauty in them, that it’s when you knew they were the one for you, and you were in love with them, and wanting to cherish them forever.

[@pugsandhugsnotdrugs]

And the song hurts a little bit more because you did lose them. 😪

[@sandrajoy81]

Beautiful vocals Taylor, and great show at the Observatory in Santa Ana gentlemen. I was so happy to see you play live again, it's the best way to experience your music.

[@christopherhinkel8274]

[@scottfarmer1405]

Soooo, I heard this song at work, it was on the radio. I had to find out the artist or group out whatever. I’m in love. This version is amazing, yes I feel the difference listening to the acoustic version. Either way it still gives me the same chills.

[@seanhartel5362]

I saw these guys open for Facing New York at the Troubadour in 2008. Time flies. Glad they’re still playing. Great song.

[@renacolello6283]

I so love this band seen them in Chicago twice to sold out shows. I tell everyone around the World about them. I also got to see them in San Diego someone’s Dad gave me a free ticket. But the coolest thing about the video is the drummer reading! He is such a big part of the band live without him in a rock concert just wouldn’t work so cool he laid low but….can’t wait to see him drumming again!!

[@serenyaa9981]

[@lorafox871]

This is absolutely stunning. You guys are great. I gotta say that there is a lot of sadness in my life right now, but songs like this let me know that other people feel pain, too. For a few moments I am able to kind of step outside of my own sorrow. Thank you.
