The Staves - Icarus (Ft. Keaton Henson)

[@misslekkerpuh]

jesus and three angels

[@takiatanjum4435]

I still come back to this song after 7 years of having found this masterpiece. I miss Keaton and The Staves from that time. I miss being invested in your art, your pain and laughter. 🤍

[@cellamondegrine8009]

This song is fragile and beautiful, like a broken butterfly.

[@cherryb.9510]

i could cradle in this song's soft embrace for eternity...

[@gmoneydumbsteppaz]

I can never get enough of this version of this song....Keatons voice just works so well for this one. You three ladies are incredible...and gorgeous

[@christinalively8292]

I was watching a video tonight and saw the music was by the Staves! I have been trying to remember the name of this band for years! So excited to find them again.

[@sarahdpedra]

I found this music years ago in tumblr, I was a different person back then. But I still came here often to hear this masterpiece. And it still calm my mind and heart. Thank you.

[@calebmontgomery3557]

they should make an entire album together!

[@juergendoenges7443]

One of the best Staves Songs ever, unfortunatelly not much known to the world. I am completely confused about that !

[@randominity15]

Saw The Staves when they opened for the Civil Wars. This song pretty much embedded itself in my soul.

[@WrightMusicManagementNE]

truly one of the most beautiful things Ive heard in a long time!

[@khatomacharashvili5038]

I miss them together

[@freigz]

This video is so beautifully done. Love the look they give each other at the end, like they know they've just shared in something special

[@mermaidhawk]

I miss Fleet Foxes but this makes up for it . Wow, imagine them all together .Oh my .

[@triciaviveros]

[@LydiaBland]

Best collaboration possible.

[@desireehardin1728]

[@paulgarrod1066]

[@nickyforsythe]

Just when you think The Staves can't get any better. This is beautiful!

[@ColemanSlawski]

Crazy how popular The Staves have become without a debut album released yet, all well deserved. Can't wait to see yous supporting Bon Iver :D

[@Rebrose1994]

This song is gorgeous, I love it

[@gmoneydumbsteppaz]

My fab version of this song, Keaton accompanies very well.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

I've seen so many young people around the scene trying to be teenagers in 1967 and failing miserably, so its winderfully nice to find some people who really have 'it'. Really nice - I got to this video from a post on GearSlutz talking about recording preamps of all things - serendipity! :o)

[@nikolasmarques5619]

OMG girls, your're so awesome! I'm addicted to your songs!

[@oweiser]

Always come back to this one…magic 💜❤️💜

[@DamageControlled]

heavenly voices oh my god

[@mickyh93]

accidently had keaton henson's you don't know how lucky you are playing at just the right time to actually blend perfectly to this!

[@ennih6326]

SO UM I JUST FOUND THIS AND I CHOKED ON CHOCOLATE BECAUSE OF, WELL, YOU KNOW, KEATON AND THE STAVES TOGETHER

[@RegenRowan]

on infinite repeat.. (seriously, listened to it last night at least 10 times in a row, turned on the computer this morning and I'm still nog sick of it.)

[@EminemLoverr5]

all my favourites singing together

[@warmbeveridge]

Cor what a beauty!!! LOVE THIS. Please can we have it?????

[@ChristopherWoods]

The raw studio session video satisfies the audio engineer in me; the music satisfies my soul. This is good work.

[@ThePenderi]

You think you know how lovely it will be from the fella's voice at the start. Wait until the harmonies hit. Beautiful. And damn clever.

[@vintageartbeats]

and it just gets better all the time.......

[@beth9603]

Not sure if it's because I'm already feeling fragile, but this brought a tear to my eye :')

[@leehuff2533]

[@mrmccranky]

in the details it mentions that you can download the track for free. It links to soundcloud. It only lets you play it. Am I missing something?

[@melancholyriffs]

There's something touching about the singers in this video unafraid to show that they're having a cigarette.

[@Anew522]

Hey, it's ellie main! Love the song btw.

[@marcomariona6873]

Meli i love you jaja ❤

[@kimberlyly785]

Ideas hang before me Oh, but a breath away They flicker into being And then begin to fade And when I'm tired of sitting I drag my bones to bed And when I'm tired of sleeping I think of them instead They're only words Don't have to shout to be heard I have not seen the light, for days Like icarus before me These wings are not my own And I am soaring skyward Just to tumble home Moment has gone I'm not the best at moving on Nothing to say, no one would listen anyway Anyway I have not seen the light, for days Ooooo... I have not seen the light, for days I have not seen the light, for days And nights, for days

[@cupboardie]

where did you hear that?
