Wye Oak - I Hope You Die (live at NPR Tiny Desk Concert)

This is the last song Wye Oak played at NPR Tiny Desk Concert

[@hantagaxi]

In the belly of the cloud I was released You were released Was it deafeningly loud? Or was it peace? Sweet peace All the streets All filled with sound Because it's right It's for the best Still I sense Their judgment now As we ask for rest Just rest I can't sleep until I see you sleeping Curse my mind and its all-seeing eye Watch the rise And wonder if you're breathing Against your will You are alive I don't recognize the world That you have made That we have made Still you fool yourself to ask If you had stayed If we had stayed At the ringing of a bell Or at the falling of a tree If you think of it at all Remember me Just me I can't breathe until I see you waking Watching as the scars fall from your eyes Into a world that you may not remember I hope you die I hope you die I hope you die I hope you die

I am in love with Jenn's music. Her voice, lyrics, everything.

[@jasonwalters5288]

A woman who sings with emotion, passion and feel everything has my 💙 forever and ever 🌈

[@crissbd8400]

I haven't found a musical talent i could genuinely fall in love with that tops Wye Oak. I prefer all of their music live like this. The recordings are fine and perfect but showing off their talents in a manner as raw as this; it's perfection. I recommend Villagers. And of course, anything he does live or raw is as well much more lovely than the recordings.

[@incorrigiblerogue1193]

the phrasing of the sylables broken up over a chord change is fucking brilliant

[@MoiraRussell]

Love this song anyway, but this version is just incredible.

[@dearlydevoteddexter]

Heard this magnificent song when it was used for the camera test for "Blue Ruin". Absolutely the perfect song...so haunting and powerful!

[@turkqb4]

Love when that kick drum comes in

[@beckymew]

The first chorus gives me chills, every time.

[@makug]

for SOME REASON, his accoustic lives are better than the recorded album. ..I...I don't know why she doesnt release a simpler version. It's simple an amazing and I think most ppl will enjoy it better this way

[@SquareYourFace]

I didn't think this song could get better, but listen to it at 2x speed! Guitar suddenly reminds me of the Dodos. 3:45

[@OptimusPounds]

Really pissed at myself for just discovering this band now, but also simultaneously pompous about having done so.

[@betoski]

love it

[@gagz77]

This version is almost as awesome as the album version. Any version of this song would be good in my opinion. There aren't many Wye Oak songs that I DON'T like, but this is definitely is my favorite. It may even slip in as my all time favorite song sometimes.

[@shaneharrington3655]

Or was it peas? ...sweat peas?

[@johnnypetro9314]

Is the title of this song perhaps the reason this concert is not published on the NPR Music channel @nprmusic ? 😅 I'm curious why NPR disowned this concert.

[@HamburgerTime209]

The most beautiful euthanasia song I've ever heard.

[@MoiraRussell]

I adore, adore, adore that record, but damn, this version is almost better.

[@markchandler5880]

Heeeeeey girl :)

[@crornel]

where is the full version?????!!!!!!!!!!!

[@northernharrier6535]

Does anyone know approximately what chords she's using here? Kind of hard to tell since the camera moves around quite a bit.

[@cometome255]

Sarah Lahaye Mann i know this is 3 years late but its drop d tuning

[@KarlRLamberg]

Great song and performance but it needs more wood block

[@TheCheesyNachos]

jon bois anyone?

[@MrSpanielson]

Dear lady from Wye Oak: if you are into slightly overweight hairy dudes from England who don't have any money, you could do a lot worse than me.

[@NuryPPanaligan]

Jon Bois brought me here.

[@sweetslowly]

I love you :) hahahah

[@turkqb4]

does anyone have the tabs for this song or know the tuning she uses

[@SpencerCrabbe]

does anyone know the tuning??

[@xphdprcs]

DADGBE capo on the 4th fret. a few of their songs are in this tuning: dog's eyes, civilian. all of the prettiness.

[@SpencerCrabbe]

Louis Weil thank you so much, could you maybe send me a tab of any wye oak songs other than civilian? it would be super helpful ive been searching everywhere i really want a tab for doubt and dogs eyes and few others

[@turkqb4]

Never mind he is just playing a very flat snare

[@sewerface]

So much to like about this performance, but that wood block is just a mistake.

[@grrwuff4099]

(title: I Hope You Die) In this day and age, you have to make sure not to offend anybody - sheesh

[@BlahBlahUsername1]

Ruined by failed-percussion. JESUS MAN, JUST FUCKING STOP. So off-cue it's making me ill. Lover her voice, tho.

[@nickdee3283]

But he does the same stuff in the recording.
