The Staves "Icarus" Live - Sideshow Alley

[@albertofigueroa7829]

this is the song that instantly made me fall in love with the staves

[@meaganshantz4033]

I just stumbled upon this video and saw your comment! love this songggg

[@jonstone6862]

For me it was In 'The Long Run'

[@dogdaybreak3157]

@@jonstone6862 Yes! Me as well. That song started it all for me and it's still one of my favorites. Icarus, Motherlode round out the top 3 for me.

[@kareth117]

Same. I heard them a while back and the other version they recorded in the park was the first version I heard. I love this song so, so much.

[@davidholt8652]

I’ve come back to this song for years.. and it satisfies every time. Thank you staves and sideshow alley! If your ever in TN HMU!! I’ve got a couple of alleys in my home town that would be great!

[@amirahlee]

It must be really magical to watch and hear them live on top of the building; where the string lights light up the skies, and soothing voices echo in the air.

[@neverendingwinkleface6482]

Ben Howard + the staves = pure lovely stuff

[@ClulowH]

Ben Howard, India Bourne, Ben Lovett and the lads from Bear's Den are there because they're all with the Communion label that Ben Lovett set up. Great song :)

[@allisonjones2944]

Please 🙏 come to Leesburg Virginia! You guys could stay with us! ( no pressure)

[@allisonjones2944]

We're a couple hours from the Luray Caverns! It has a special piano tuned to crystals! They play music !!!! It's awesome!

[@nickparsons337]

Beauty personified in every way imaginable.

[@camhan1151]

Music likes this really makes me appreciate what I have in life. How can I not be satisfied.

[@R5d4d2]

Can three women and a guitar conquer the world? ... YUP!!!

[@loloclements]

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

[@ts-eu6mp]

Thank you for doing this-putting down the lyrics! :) Terri

Making a winter's night in NYC feel like a sunny summer's afternoon in a Cornish orchard

[@Joebingley15]

The Staves, Bear's Den, Mumford and Sons and Ben Howard and his crew were all on one roof!

[@kategoodwin2148]

Love the Gibson, the song, these sisters.

[@anagagaa]

three angels

[@dogdaybreak3157]

The way Jess closes the song at the end......incredible her voice/style.

[@grahamhowes6904]

Brilliant Staves

[@jamievidd775]

So pure and beautiful. Staves are one of my favorite bands. Jess in particular always makes everything look and sound so effortless and ingrained. They are too sophisticated for the general public I guess. Shame because they are world class.

[@vyleart4488]

Fully agreed.

[@paulclarke9114]

all my daughters love you and sing all your songs. proud of them they have taste x

[@rorymccormick5254]

First Time I came across the staves. I love them. Actual angels in human human form. 'Heavenly Father" Bon Iver in the SOH. Wow. Goosebumps.x

[@cailiosa3]

Their harmonies are gorgeous. I bought their album for my sister for Christmas, but I'm having a really hard time wrapping it up and sending it her way -- I'm very much tempted to keep it for myself.

[@ts-eu6mp]

Buy more! Seems like a good solution to me! Nice of you to get this for your sis!

[@davidbarksdale3835]

theyre fucking killing me

[@MyTurzo]

[@MohkieHazSquids]

These heavenly waves gently crash through the veil that lightly covers the heart like capsule that encases your very soul. :E

[@dogdaybreak3157]

This video/performance leaves me speechless. The 3 part harmonies are impeccable. Jess's lead vocals are beyond moving and beautiful. And the song is just brilliant. I hum/sing it constantly. It's addictive. Girls, thanks for sharing your gifts!

[@giuniral]

What a magical moment this must have been.

[@brickbyboringbrick01]

awwww, Benny is so cute here haha the Staves are the best girl band in the world, I just love them

[@spinningreelsofrhyme]

The Staves are the best music out of England I have heard in years...But, there are many great folk singers...Ben Howard, David Gray, etc.

[@AmazingApplesBand]

This is my new favourite Staves video, it used to be Jools Holand, facing west. That's feckin fantastic!

[@ChipMatthews]

Impressively flawless audio despite the wind. Those harmonies are sublime!

[@timothysickles8352]

Beautiful melodies

[@MickeyHuerta]

Oh my gosh... it was a true pleasure hearing this. Chills the whole time

[@algore1993]

and she plays great too!

[@Piero5711]

I love you The Staves

[@Trudgemank]

Surprising voices. You must employ a really talented sound crew too!

[@conchita4all]

This is even better than the studio version :)

Sweet and musical... interesting guitar tuning to boot.

[@cbr1100xxrules]

My goodness. That was beyond beautiful. The Stavely-Taylor sisters are magnificent!

[@Quantum2142]

The Staves have just earned a new fan :)

[@tamsinmccormick]

These young women have proper girly English voices. They all sing very sweetly without being saccharine . When they sing harmony they sound absoutely delightful . This style of singing is a very refreshing change and indeed an antidote to ROCK !!

[@awhalecalledphoenix1737]

sweet sweet harmonies!! 2 thumbs up from us

[@cailiosa3]

I bet they filmed this session during Communion's Austin to Boston earlier this year. The Staves, Ben Howard, Bear's Den and Nathaniel Rateliff were on the line-up for that.

[@Scatterspace28]

There harmonies are awesome!

[@mtm1644]

So magical!

[@rbwirth12]
