Other Lives: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@seanmcglinn3941]

I’m 50, and when I was off work two days ago, I had an empty house alone , kids and wife at school, and sang and strum these amazing songs to the top of my lungs

[@anthonyshats4427]

2022 and i love this forever

[@musicisbrilliant]

Just have to say. I LOVE THIS. I know this isnt a terribly popular band which only makes it all the more special. I LOVE ALL OF YOU. You are special people. SO FEW bands today touch me in the same way as this does. Ever since I saw this Ive been back time and time again and Ill keep coming back to this video until Im 90 years old. This band deserves more attention than I feel theyre getting. Its merely a symptom of living in todays confused and lost world. "Other Lives", if you see this, know that YOU ARE appreciated and it would mean a great deal to me if you keep tapping into the well from which you pulled up these three magical and moving songs. Finding this band marked a uniquely strange time in my life.

[@musicisbrilliant]

musicisbrilliant This speaks to me in a BIG way. By far my favorite tiny desk concert. Keep it up, guys!

[@musicisbrilliant]

musicisbrilliant Im back again to say... I cant say enough. This is real, true music. Its very rare to find any these days, but here it is.

[@musicisbrilliant]

musicisbrilliant By the way... I know Im being annoying. But Id like to express how I feel about these three perfect tunes.

[@musicisbrilliant]

musicisbrilliant Its serious. Its sincere. Unlike ALL other music today.

[@RandomJane104]

musicisbrilliant There is plenty of serious and sincere music out there today, you just have to dig it out. You won't hear it on the radio. I just discovered this band a few days ago and I'm glad I did. This is beautiful.

[@puscifer10000]

You can definitely hear the "How to Disappear Completely" influence but they also have their very own sound. Absolutely love.

[@naten7589]

One of the few bands I can honestly say their live versions are much better than their produced versions. Love it!

[@AshleySherrets]

I don't care how many times I've listened to this, I am forever more in love with Other Lives. What an excellent pairing of musicians! I adores this set!

[@caramstar]

This band is currently my favorite and has been since I first heard Tamer Animals in 2011. I saw them in Chicago (Lincoln Hall, Feb 2012) and Grand Rapids, MI (Nov 2012) and would've gone to see their last Tamer Animals show in Chicago again if I could've made the trip. They are incredible live and, by all accounts, the grand finale at Lincoln Hall on Dec 8th was amazing. I'm so looking forward to hearing what they do next!!

[@pdbaird1]

I was at the Dec. 8th show. Absolutely Mesmerizing. Goosebumps for 75 straight minutes

[@fenogliooo9809]

constantly showing my friends this band.. Keep up the great sound

[@teitsie3853]

Me too. Giving their albums away at birthdays. Everyone loves it.

[@MapleVideos77]

Pure Music. So glad I stumbled upon this video.

[@josoapification]

I absolutely love these tracks From other lives album Great band👍 Great LP

[@JohnJohnson-dl8oq]

Still my favorite band. I miss the members that have gone on to do other things. They’re still making great music though.

[@johnbain7191]

same same. This composition of Other Lives will live on forever in my playlists.

[@anthonyshats4427]

I love this band time presence feeling me my life unbelievable

[@the_katman2181]

This is so good. I've been looking for something new for the longest time. So glad I stumbled on this band. Pity it took me so long.

[@musicisbrilliant]

Wow. Their 2nd and 3rd song in particular still give me chills. Its incredibly and exceptionally special. Ill love this forever.

[@vladareus7278]

Me too. I'll love Other lives forever ❤❤

[@ucfknightsjay]

Just saw them in Tampa last night. Very good band. I was impressed.

[@johnp4100]

This band is so FREAK'N TALENTED!

[@FelipeAlvesPera]

These guys are really awesome. One of the best rock bands ever!

[@thebarn60]

July 2019 I have just arrived here .. NICE !!

[@Bass_pistol]

I have found so much amazing music through the NPR sessions

[@Longbody1000]

Stunning. Just love this band.

[@iuwioepr]

I love this band. Used to watch them at Mike's College Bar in Stillwater, OK back when they were Kunek. Good times.

[@CoachAdamFit]

Incredible. There are no words...

[@skithekey]

Loved getting to see them play all the time back in my college days in Stillwater Oklahoma!! Go Pokes!!!

[@NRCARCH]

I waited tables with the drummer when we worked at Eskimo Joes.

[@kinsaleenglish1493]

Spell binding...real magic. Hope you come to Ireland...Cork....some day.

[@thomaspaulrussell]

Thank you for this thoughtful response and request.

[@hansgunther5692]

Great performance. The backing vocals are so great!!!

[@DonaldTurner]

saw Other Lives open for radiohead a few years ago, found this when I got home. this 3 song set continues to move me.. profound, is all i can say. thank you

[@atakanozkaya3721]

And just like the wind blows into the great unknown, We're on our way, we're on our way. Moving west may bring us better days. We're on our way, we're on our way.

[@JeremiahObediah]

I was sooooooo sad when this ended. I could listen to the elegant drone for hours... days even.

[@evetaylor2215]

Your. Music saved my life ... much love

[@ginadefalco8333]

i saw this band open up for delta spirit at the double door many years ago when they just had their ep. they were amazing then and continue to amaze me now! i've been a fan since! seeing them live tops any studio recording! can't wait to see them next saturday in chicago at lincoln hall! keep it up other lives!

[@wagnervallim]

that melody is SO beautiful

[@errlscout4891]

that second song is ****ing awesome. I imagine them playing it while all marching through a big flat field of wheat.

[@keiths4491]

First time I have heard this band... It's absolutely fantastic. If they played with a slightly faster tempo and louder, it would be out of this world good.

[@scoredavis]

the best band iv heard the past few years.....heavenly

[@susansontag474]

Après avoir entendu un de leurs morceaux sur France Inter pas un jour ne passe sans que je les écoute ils m ont accompagné vers mon road trip from Alsace to Ouessant Islande Finistère de grandes émotions en ferment les yeux on peut se transporter au milieu de l atlantique ou dans la forêt d Exmoor Tout simplement splendide

[@Moonchky]

I just saw them at Cafe du Nord in San Francisco. I can't believe you can see a band this good at such a small venue. They were excellent and I expect they're going to surge in popularity. I think they're opening for Radiohead on the upcoming tour.

[@TheChapter89]

Great band. The lead singer is quite charming.

[@yuggothmt2445]

Estos si eran muy buenos conciertos de tiny desk 👌

[@damelucille]

Wow this is epic for such a small space! It's beautiful. Thank you...!

[@bloodyhole6301]

Lucie Dennis thanks WE did our best !!

[@seanmcglinn3941]

Amazing band

[@ace71730]

NPR delivers ANOTHER quality tiny desk performance. I didn't see that coming. ;P Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@amaechler]

Beautiful music.

[@Khmx8]

Best first heard of them 15 yrs ago on Blogotheque channel...

[@nk47digitalnatives]

thats awesome man, this is brilliant stuff. WAY TO GO OKLAHOMA!

[@MrQuenben]

I want more knee slap beats and tapping the guitar. This is great.

[@jjody]

like we can all join in ( ,:

[@skithekey]

They used to be called Kunek back in the day. Look up there album on KZbin, it’s called Flight of the Flynns. You can tank me later. They have always been a wonderful group of people.

[@juin54]

Vraiment très cool cette musique, j'adore

[@zipsidian]

Fleet Foxes and these guys.... man some amazing music....

[@MrPittsSox]

I like that term...probably will catch on sooner or later...

[@polobede9054]

trop mimi Other Lives , j'adore ! ! ! ! !

[@horseunknown]

Perfectly true to key and rythm - and yet: all spirit and soul you could wish for. Real vioces, real instruments. It sets them far apart from all the cheap computer generated pop that crowds radio stations these days.

[@jkmann]

Good fucking grief. So great. They really are better live than any recording I've heard.

[@stevendeanda3771]

God damn this band is so good.

[@KelMaiGaming]

I need to learn Dust Bowl III on the guitar... Just saw the Band on Gurten Festival, it's perfect music for me, sadly not many people were listening/enjoying...

[@FrenchhouseKiller]

Best Album ever !

[@5k33k]

The musicians here are Jonathon Mooney - Guitar/Vocals Jesse Tabish - Bass Colby Owens - Percussion Jenny Hsu - Callo/Autoharp Josh Onstott - Violin/Keys

[@Milklatte]

Jesse is guitar and vocals

[@rogerioferrari2386]

Great music! Congrats!

[@psychotron108]

Wow... these guys are so tight live... :o very few bands have that potential outside the recording studio...

[@RGeth]

Yes! I love this band!

[@niniadanaia6540]

love this band!!!!!!!

[@Tbyrnes3]

DUST Bowl III is so good......

[@DylanDylan587]

One hell of a performance.

Oh I was in the dark age Searching for the ones in my mind. I'm so far away But I had hit the ground runnin'. Steady as you go, I don't mind. I'm still here today. Oh spouting hymns and buzzing rhymes And forever talking when it ain't so kind. But it feels like forever on the run. When your mind turns to fiction. And I had took the long way. And I was in the heat, I don't mind, I'm so far away. But it feels like forever on the run. When your mind turns to fiction. Nudging the ghost from the skull. And a night without sleep. Vibration comes first to the head and last to the feet. Spouting hymns and buzzing rhymes And forever talking when it ain't so kind. But it feels like forever on the run. When your mind turns to fiction. So long, So long..

[@SonicVisionX]

Incredible band.

[@stevendeanda3771]

What a band.

Amazing!

[@spfan7]

fun fact: The lead singer here was part of the original All American Rejects band for the first album they made while in high school. Looks like they went in separate directions....

[@thedrawback3855]

I miss this original line-up.

[@tokiburoak7457]

I love how they used the Harmonium! You usually only hear them in Indian music.

[@Medical_Bartender]

@Moonchky I bet that was amazing! They are opening for Radiohead...I am seeing them in Miami on Feb 27th!
