Benny Sings: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@BennySings]

Thanks all!

[@lovedisaster69]

Thank you, you beautiful bitterballen. You were a gateway to some amazing Amsterdam artists. Love y'all.

[@martinarayadiaz3895]

thanks to you, for making amazing music

[@ericmacfadden7856]

You're truly my favorite music artist. I admire your work so much and I've been inspired by your styles many times before and will continue to be inspired by you. You're a cool dude. I wanna be your friend.

[@alinex82]

Que maravilha de música. Soa tão bom. NPR é uma fonte inesgotável. Muito obrigado Benny Sings pela ótima vibe.

[@kyleseay5600]

Benny Sings brother you are so slept on. Keep making dope music. I HAVE to link.

[@mdlassel]

Serously a very underrated artist.

[@laidback93]

Seriously. I only know of one other person besides myself who knows who Benny is.

[@danthompson5264]

Overrated IMHO.

[@mariop6517]

3 years later thinking the same

[@pSmurf954]

Not gonna lie, I just got on to his music. Bruh. I've been sleep af. Benny is fiiire. And needs another Tiny Desk Concert.

[@MistahShootrES]

And then he did just 3 months ago lol

[@ThomasCushard]

Hits a wrong note at 2:55, smirks and keeps playing. Love it.

[@mhbackman]

NPR is my #1 resource for finding new music these days. Great set! Should be 3x as long!

[@nikolinalaco401]

Thatsoulfulsound on instagram,chek it out! My source of finding good underrated music.

[@drdrummerdude]

he looks like a ski instructor from the 80s

[@ninjastah]

"Ok now when you land in the snow off a vert ramp you wanna be ready to bend and keep balanced on the landing! Even if you fall just remember to tuck n grab.

[@plemplem_orginals]

😂😂😂❤

[@joshl3868]

I enjoy all of the Tiny Desk Concerts but I come back to this one most often.

[@xxjerzyrecordsxx]

I almost didn't give this a chance....then Jennah's voice came in so I stuck around. And then it all just grew on me and now I'm listening again and again.

[@jmaypheth]

I love this man. To see him perform his music on an American series makes me so happy! Benny Sings is a serious talent, all of his albums are gems. The man sings, plays, and records everything in his own studio in his apartment! I hope he'll play shows in the U.S. Starting with LA!

[@CalebCheek]

Jennifer Maypheth he’s coming to LA and I’m going!

[@kevinbarron481]

Please get Benny Sings more exposure, he deserves it!!

[@IZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR]

The description confirmed it but that accent was very much regonizable being a Dutchman myself. It's remakrable how you can hide possible accent in singing. This was nice, don't want to distract from their performance.

[@jayakerele7766]

Sounded American at first to me 😂😂

[@ThelastDJ1976]

I was hoping the set would be longer! Very beautiful stuff.

[@bradh716]

Pretty good. I think the best is yet to come from this guy.

[@JasperHoogland]

today this is still true

[@EricPace]

I LOVE BENNY SINGS!!!!!!!!

[@escoucou1]

I love the tone of his voice. Really I do not know if it's the simplicity of its tone or the magic that causes such a harmonious combination between piano, beats and vocals. Greetings from Chile!

[@fatimadacosta9389]

Génial ,superbe duo .Merci . Optimo

[@doxrecords]

Thank you NPR Music!

[@privateprivate1967]

This is beyond music...thank you Benny Sings.

[@NPlivin15]

Came home from a 10 hour shift and cried sitting in my driveway... this song is simply beautiful... thank you for helping me feel

[@immaculatory9699]

I know that feeling man. I hope you're doing well.

[@joaomartins3367]

4:03 sounds a lot like Le soleil est près de moi by Air! Beautiful tunes all around

[@RaspyStarks]

First time hearing this guy. He is dope AF!!

[@Inverted314]

[@0kimbc28]

LOve this guy

[@pr00t33]

Man I love this guy so much!!

[@maya-hi6je]

you touches me with your melodies and you texts. (a new french fan)

[@CamboyGDubbz]

Reminds me of Ben Folds. Amazing duo of songs.

[@OscarMartinez-rw1bc]

HUGE fan of Benny! I really hope to see him live someday. Come to the Bay Area Benny! (After the corona tho)

[@Chipster971]

I love the introduction to the beginning of the first song, sounds like the beginning of a Christmas song

[@GeeLove]

[@BryanG12267]

Benny's voice reminds me of michael franks so damn much

[@meandervh8960]

yes

[@cakredi4132]

MF is his biggest inspiration.

[@katelivewire]

Oh god yes!!! No wonder I was instantly attracted to his music

[@daniellebalouise9596]

I mean, it (the first song) sounds like a very genius jazz artist rendition of Sesame Street.

[@ManWithoutHair]

I love Beach House... The Beach House

[@jayakerele7766]

[@maxcianci2281]

I saw Benny late last year in NYC. One of the greatest shows I've ever been to. Incredible talent from his whole band. Silas Short opened and was awesome, too. He's become one of my favorite artists.

[@dagadana]

[@XIM0719]

Lyrics ??? Can't find online anywhere.

[@jacobsnitgen2650]

I wish I could get the lyrics to Beach House :(

[@essaysbyken]

The best I could do: It’s written in a rush on the way out You were my freedom You were the one to call whenever It’s dawning on me slowly now You’re up till 3 tonight A simple note, I understand You’re gone for now, not ever Honey, I’ll be at the beach house There’s some things I wanna do I can’t go on living life I’m still in love with you Honey, I’ll be at the beach house And I’m taking Amma, too Because I can’t go on living life I’m still in love with you She’s at the beach house Don’t freak out What did the doctor say? (x4) So now I’m standing in the room Shattered With this heart of mine You were the one, I won’t buy myself again But with a note, I’m throwing the pain away I’m not prepared to fall, no no Not until you say it out loud, girl

[@jacobsnitgen2650]

Ken Lane Wow thanks man, I've listened to that song so many times and that's definitely more spot on than I am lol. Although I think the line "I won't buy myself again" may actually be "now I'm by myself again" but I'm unsure.

[@essaysbyken]

You could be right. Some of Tim's/Benny's lyrics don't always match our expectations because English is not his first language.

[@amaromendonca2867]

zach galifianakis's standUp is differente, now..

[@dontkilkenny]

Does anyone know what kind of beat machine he uses?

[@jvcthome]

[@nopenope7700]

[@williewoodall8305]

no thank you

[@moonhead5967]

that girls voice is gross

[@camhowelse5797]

MoonHead you are wrong

[@danthompson5264]

Repetitious AF. Gonna pass on this recommendation. Try writing a 2nd verse or maybe a 2nd chorus. Just give it a shot.

[@rickyscott4738]

Benny Sings is a great writer/composer, and his music is very reminiscent of oldie and funk tunes. You should give his newest album a listen. I do agree that Benny should do another, more well represented set on NPR TD with a full band. This performance was a little underwhelming, yet still nice to listen to nonetheless.

[@nestamarley23]

Dan T Please link to your music, which i assume is filled with 2nd verses and 2nd choruses!
