Declan McKenna: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@connerdearing]

They really let Declan come back a second time. This is a great comparison to how much he’s grown from the first tiny desk too.

[@FallGuySmiley]

Yep still great

[@Pterribledactyl12]

His first one is one of my favorites. I had never heard of him before it, but he just captured my attention fully.

[@alencxnto]

Great profile pic :)

[@fernandeztorresmariagetzem8422]

Glitter and Declan has such a relationship

[@kangko.1488]

They really do have a great relationship 😂

[@elisa2739]

Zeros is definitely one of the best albums of the year!!! Can't stop listening

[@eilidhriddell3332]

I've listened about 5 times a day most days😂

[@ninokode]

couldnt agreeMORE

[@Wilbore]

Why is NPR on FIREEEE recently?!

[@theowendorff807]

Climate change, probably.

[@RobertSlover]

its always consistent your late to the party apparently....

[@April-vu7yo]

I think it has something to do with artists being tired of not doing anything artistic and giving it all when they have the chance

[@DanielC__]

Wilbore Because the bar was pretty low with marginal talent. Some of these recent artists are decent including this bunch but make no mistake, there are plenty of marginals showing up here.

[@Isseki_Nicho]

I think its because its not at their studio but elsewhere where these artists already have their gear and crew ready to perform.

[@hellboyy7019]

There are some songs that you just can't get tired of, "Brazil" is a good example of it, every time i listen to it it feels like the first time

[@fernandeztorresmariagetzem8422]

Declan is so underrated and you can’t change my mind

[@emiliasjoholm]

I really wanted to hear: "Eventually, Darling", "Emily", "Twice your size", "Rapture"... YEAH, the whole album!

[@Angie-js7ji]

Emily is my favourite atm!! Honestly we do deserve to hear the whole album

[@ohno2163]

and especially sagittarius a*!!

[@3scrs334]

Why are people sleeping on ybb, best song on the album

[@AshleyHallisy]

@@3scrs334 YES

[@henkelarssonvm9471]

xo xo bruh sagittarius is the only bad song on the album

[@dolciexoxo]

I remember hearing Brazil in a McDonalds a few years back, but never found out what it was called, I came across Brazil again last year and can't believe how much he has grown, zeros is honestly a masterpiece. honestly can't wait to hear more new music from dec

[@notu1529]

wow i wish i listened to brazil in a McDonalds

[@Superdelphinus]

I first heard of McDonald’s in Brazil, funnily enough

[@jadenlukebouah554]

Declan McKenna NPR 2:the deckoning

[@CentliH]

I'm Screamingggggg hahahahahabbahabava

[@sonya1500]

yes thank u for the bonus i need to lie down for a moment

[@kylefletchers6366]

thank you:)

[@vegasvegas7422]

Brazil é incrível, como não amar esse artista.

[@sophiebradshaw4157]

I've been closely following Declan's music for a while now, but it's so cool to have these two tiny desk shows to compare at such different points in his career. The difference between them is wild! Anyone whose only exposure to him was his first tiny desk would be shocked 😅

[@kira-xr1kl]

I've been following Declan since 2015, and boy has he grown into such an amazing artist

[@emiliasjoholm]

Zeros is truly a masterpiece!!!

[@dannymac6368]

Drums sound amazing. 🤩🥰😊

[@ceaseoccupation]

was looking for this comment to second it... drummer on point

[@MrSuperHappyPants]

App crashed earlier but came back just to say YES YES YES she is right on the money. Rock solid playing here. Watching it again now.

[@isa-ku8ns]

yes gabi is great

[@punsh]

Not one bad song from Declan. NOT A SINGLE ONE

[@ximenacoronel9541]

PERIODT, DECLAN IS SUPERIOR

[@rivaldealer__]

Mind is kinda trash IMO but I see your point

[@ximenacoronel9541]

@@rivaldealer__ umm WHAT- NO

[@rivaldealer__]

ximena coronel it’s never been a favourite of mine

[@avaantiika]

Mac Kirkaldy what. did you. just say. mind is my fav 😭

[@garrettc786]

Guy on keys sits so subtly yet presently in the arrangement

[@adrianavendramin]

What a beautiful version of "the key to life on earth"♥️😭

[@PentameronSV]

0:00 - *Daniel, You're Still a Child* 4:16 - *The Key to Life on Earth* (8:49) 9:18 - *Beautiful Faces* 12:48 / 13:33 - *Brazil* (17:55)

[@himynameisabbey6942]

Love seeing a girl guitarist and drummer ❤️❤️❤️ they rocked it and Of course the whole band Declan ❤️most of all

[@danieljones123]

The Key to Life on Earth is my song of the year so far. The lyrics are insanely good. Like modern day Bowie good

[@emiliasjoholm]

I HAVE NEVER PRESSED ON A VIDEO SOOOO FAST!

[@joskotze4193]

SAME😂

[@thecommoncold9020]

SAMEEEE

[@fernandeztorresmariagetzem8422]

This feels like a movie, because we already have a video of him doing this when he was more younger and now we have this You don’t have any idea of how much i’m loving this right now ❤️

[@RobertSlover]

these teenagers owe the talking heads a check or three....

[@nezbut7]

i had NO IDEA!! this was gonna happen and its a dream come true

[@cuzzindave]

If nothing else this video shows how far Gabi's drumming has come in the past 5 years. Much more confident and creative!

[@hannahhilliker2880]

he's all grown up compared to his first tiny desk concert omg

[@zombiekiller225]

Seen him at reading 2018 need to get back on a huge stage again his energy was madness

[@fernandeztorresmariagetzem8422]

Glitter and Declan is the best combination on earth

[@fernandeztorresmariagetzem8422]

Why Declan is so perfect doing anything

[@acenanu121]

had never heard of this band before so minimized the window without seeing how many views or likes it had... opened up the window and gave a thumbs up 3 mins into the first song... good McKenna good.

[@maddiejabbo9153]

omg you guys actually listened!!! i asked for dec, and here he is! brilliant performance as always, thanks guys at NPR

[@---hj4uo]

Waiting for Clairo’s tiny desk

[@Ybis96]

Whoever tuned that snare deserves a raise

[@calypsoschild]

insane. wish he would’ve played be an astronaut though.

[@veronica81d]

he played it on the james corden show if you wanna see it

[@edissonduarte6549]

Is this "The End of the F***ing World"?

[@louisaamabel708]

Omg

[@hadiaalkhafaji2025]

I just realized it is

[@andrewnovak6591]

Hahaha sure looks like it

[@jadeserrano7844]

lol that’s alex lawther

[@cosimakazak2309]

No. Only a new beginning. Jesus promised and prophetie are soon full yet 😉

[@piyushpradhan8727]

Heard a track Isombard on FIFA 17...loved it. Did some research found out the name of the artist and here I am.....Amazing.

[@sean7860]

Same with me, but I saw a tik tok a few months ago with Brazil in it, and now here I am

[@bluebird-cd6in]

it’s so funny and ironic how declan’s song ended up on fifa 17 since brazil aka his most popular song is literally calling out FIFA for destroying Brazil in the 2014 World Cup lol

[@cherrynoodles5516]

I heard his song Brazil in the toilets at McDonald's and googled the lyrics straight after so I could download it on Spotify. I spent the drive home listening to it and since then I've been a huge fan. Isombard is definitely one of my favourites btw, such an amazing song.

[@marmina1283]

i got brazil recommended on youtube a couple years ago when i was depressed in easter, i listened to his music for those four days straight nonstop and here i am now, i think I'm doing better now and declan is still on my headphones all the time

[@fernandeztorresmariagetzem8422]

Zeros is the best thing that happened this 2020

[@haileyannem]

ahhh he’s so talented!! And he’s come so far from his first tiny desk!

[@adrianacosta8378]

When he said this is Brazil I LOST IT

[@ashley3477]

he’s the best honestly

[@snikovsky]

That stripped down version of The Key to Life on Earth is soooo cute.

[@Regardsband]

Declan smashing it, as always! ❤️💜💙

[@isalovesdec5192]

I think we can all agree that declan mckenna...

[@adelia4214]

brazil never fails to make me smile omg the power !!!

[@checkyourhead1992]

This guy deserves more recognition

[@highlandhousestudio6638]

This is extremely f'n awesome!! Im so impressed with these kids.. Tight, polished, original, interesting.. Im an instant fan.. Now i want to hear the albums.

THIS IS STUNNING HE’S SO UNDERRATED

[@silver_soul_]

Conheci esse cara (banda) apenas a alguns dias e estou amando as músicas dele!

[@manuelribeiro9200]

i wish he played "british bombs", what a song man!

[@karikarebekah160]

he's the best, so creatively free its beautiful

[@claire4916]

When he finally played brazil i got soo happy. Sang through the whole song and couldn't stop jumping. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆.

[@crystaleyemedia]

Literally, a tiny desk down there :)

[@lenmusic123]

Love the music, but kinda miss the true Tiny Desk stripped down feel, with minimal mics and gear

[@RobertSlover]

like a real live performance by real musicians playing music for real....

[@dadfather2170]

rob slover because what we saw was just 5 roombas playing music?

[@francisstanford7921]

i mean i'd assume they'll go back to the original format once....y'know.....

[@MonticArckeys]

Yeah, it's also not quite a full on sound as well

[@MegaLadyrainicorn]

same! this doesn’t really fit the format.

[@cherrynoodles5516]

I couldn't manage to get my hands on tickets because I didn't know at the time if the gig would just get cancelled as a result of covid. So it's really nice to see him doing concerts and live performances here on KZbin 💕 such an amazing artist, I'm gutted Zeroes didn't reach number 1 but for him to battle with the Rolling Stones for the top spot is such an achievement in itself. I'm proud of him and I can't wait to see what he does next

[@Elwooddudes]

The drummer is sick! Killing it

[@paulrichardson7678]

Top marks to the drummer on this. Tight and that snare is on point. …bassist is awesome as well.

[@eliasmendez9394]

Good one Alex Lawther, you're so talented

[@Tommy_Brennen]

Still listening to this great performance in 2023

[@zaientz1]

Those drums are deeeeep in the pocket. Awesome

[@cmoneman3025]

I'm intriguied. There's something here, some quality that yells into the void to breathe easy. 💜

Man. This. Is. KILLER!

[@isavanderarend1159]

I did not expect Brazil at the end I'm so glad! This performance is so good!!!!!!!

[@sean7860]

The fact that Declan McKenna’s songs sound just as good, if not better live, proves that he deserves a Grammy

[@masonmadesunshine]

is this how heaven is supposed to sound?

[@guillermomontoyo]

It's the best musical performance in history

[@cable9618]

Hold out until his third album at least, I have a feeling that he hasn’t peaked just yet...

[@alyssamiller8484]

Whoa, this song in this performance straight up reminded me of the song. What to say - by Born Ruffians Anyway, my heart throbs when I watch him perform.... Or speak... Or just anytime I see him or hear his voice. I think it's the closest thing to being in love despite never meeting him. 🤦🤷🥰

[@eilidhriddell3332]

Beautiful faces faces and Brazil sounded especially amazing😍

[@Smilliztho]

Huge desk with Dec

[@Grace-ln4oi]

He killed this, as usual. Well done Dec

[@patrick4833]

nice to see these guys all in their 20's doing songs about life and sitting around. it was equally charming to see them younger doing songs trying to fit all world issues into the lyrics but this feels a bit more earned

[@Deadandr3]

This session is amazing.

[@paulj6138]

I appreciate how his vocal is pumped better in the mix

[@mariaeduardaportela2519]
