Omg I'm that little girl with the curly hair!! I remember that day!!

9 years later and this is still one of my favourite videos on the internet to this day

i’m incredibly saddened to hear kelsey will be leaving local natives, he brought so much depth to local natives and made it part of what i loved the most about this band, the high pitch parts, i grew up with these guys and they helped me through so many troubling times in high school, i remember trying to match kelsey and his high pitched parts, i loved his song coins, i will incredibly miss you being a part of the band kelsey, im crying as i write this cause god they are what gave me my love for music ❤

I have been watching this video for over 11 years now...Time F'ing Flies

Listening to this some 13 years later had me bawling. This recording is a gem.

I still find myself coming back to this video every so often as the years go by... The feeling it invokes in me each time is just like the first time... So indescribably beautiful.

that sweet little girl in the background will never know how lucky she is to have had witnessed this live

From 2011 to 2019, I have watched this video many, many times. It has brought me joy in the good times and in a tear in the bad times.

10 years later and I still show people this video to introduce local natives to them

This moment in time had such an impact on me. I had moved away to a city that was unfamiliar. I was nervous and trying to fit in. I was in college. During this time I met who I thought was going to be the love of my life. When I first met him, he showed me this video. I felt so deeply connected to it because of that moment. Years later, I still feel deeply for every second of this video. It didn't work out in the end, but every time I even slightly get reminded of this video/song I get chills. This video to me is a time capsule in a way. I don't think there will ever be a time, until the day I die, where I don't think about the moment I discovered this song/video and how beautiful this song is. I feel like we all have that one song or video that reminds of us a certain moment in time. Kind of the same way a smell can give us flashbacks to certain memories. Thank you to everyone involved in making this because it has impacted me in more ways than I can put into words, and to me that is art.

I've never heard a band that sounded so much better out of a studio than in it.

Drummer not wearing hat has the lungs of a sweet sweet angel.

Thousand times better than the recorded version.

Saw this when it came out, still watching in 2020 🖤

I’ve been coming back to this song every year since this was posted. Saw them play live when they originally formed. This song is so well captured and just can’t get enough!!

The build up of the song is absolutely amazing and the vocals, the instruments, the sound in its entirety just takes me to another place. My Favorite band

I can’t believe but can believe this small disc that was burned to me back in the day would have millions of views on KZfaq. This band is such a gem.

Best version of this song

I never cried so much for a song, I need to cry two thousand more years to get over this song

The Blogotheque recordings of this decade showcased so many musicians I still listen to, from Redding Hunter/Peter and the Wolf, to Jared Van Fleet/Sparrow House (Where is the: Paris, Lost in Texas recordings 😢, Bon Iver, Phoenix, Alt-J ...so many artists Thank you Blogotheque team

I cry, I tremble, I weep to long for the days of musical moments like this one. This video, I watch from time to time throughout the years, and I am reminded of the beauty in people and public spaces. The sounds and echoes underneath the arcades in Paris by American musicians transcends an architect's dream.

this is ethereal. better than the recorded version

Honestly one of the songs that got me through a bad graduate school experience. But I made it! Thank you local natives!!

I wonder how many times i've watched this...

My girlfriend and I share music, she shared this band. And believe it or not that is one of the main reasons I love her. She understands something is huge in my heart, music. The Local Natives, know how to play real music.

What a polite, nicely dressed, attractive, incredibly talented group of men. Listening to this feels like being hugged.

12 years later I'm still loving it

This version is better than the studio version.

I love that they have to hold Kelcey back in the beginning lol

This is how music should be experienced: you can't ignore it, but it doesn't get in the way. It's just there for a moment, and if you are so inclined to take a listen, you get everything you want out of it.

12 years ago now? So much has happened since this was released, my mind is blown.

i like how the drummer freaks out even before they started the show.

This may be the only group I've seen on these Take Away Shows that is able to develop a really "full" sound. They really make an effort to really develop their sound and I love it.

man ive heard this song countless times, but this video straight up made me cry. These dude have such powerful melodies. Its so much emotion.

I love how he bows and nods to that little girl at 2:54. Local Natives are classy. Classy Stachey

When the second drummer picks up it all just comes together which then causes me to have a complete and utter mind exploding eargasm.

I love the way that girl lights up when they first pass her by.

Ryan's guitar part.......ughghhh so good

fallen even more in love with Local Natives now.

That little girl was just exposed to what great music sounds like and she will never forget it.

First Discovered them years ago, and last night I sang with Taylor on his mic and we gave each other an endearing hug. Best night ever!!!

My son showed me this video, im 48. You guys are awesome, a perfect blend of talent, the tenor has the timing of Frank Sinatra . Made me want to sing again. Didnt work out as planned.

Was 23 when i heard this now im 33 and I still get the goosebumps everytime.

I just found this song coincidently this week, I've never heard of the local natives before, I took a chance to listen to this song, boy am I so glad I did , life changing song. It touches the human heart in so many ways. Definitely my fav song so far, I wonder if they come to Texas? I can't seem to stop playing this song over and over!

To build on the other comments here - La Blogothèque you have introduced me to so many great bands, and have shown me my favorite bands in a wonderful new light. There are not enough thanks in the world, please never stop!

I've been going down Down into the river baby Listen to the sound It's something only god knows You figure it out, I can't stay Water's in the clouds Is my life about to change? Who knows, who cares So we took a van down to colorado Where we ran into the dead I took you by the hand Know that even with your doubts, it's ok Take into account that it's not about to change Who knows, who cares You could let it down Jump into the river baby Easy as it sounds It's never quite as easily done The current has us now, it's ok Take into account that it's all about to change Who knows, who cares No one's been there But I don't care I know all have been there I don't care I know

a random mall with good acoustics should be a required stage piece for all future shows

One of the ALL-TIME BEST performances EVER!!!

This gave me shivers. SHIVERS, I TELLYA!

Did I purchase tickets to Arcade Fire and the National just to see Local Natives? Hell yes I did and I'll always spend all the money when it comes to them.

love the camera captain. Starts with uncomfortable introductions. Moves to a cool place that should be quiet. Then the song,. A motha fudda sound. Syncopation and then human harmonics. Well done.

I just love it when he gives the little girl a head nod at 2:54 and she just seems so happy

you guys introduced me to my favorite band 3 years ago. I'll never forget.

I think that this just might be my favourite performance...ever.

This song took me a thousand years to find!!!! At last my happiness is complete!!

This is the greatest thing I have ever heard in my existence.

My favorite version of my favorite song!

I will never get tired of watching this... I feel shivers evrey time! Local Natives is so talented.. and the «A take away show» concept is just awesome... LOVE LOVE LOVE

What did I just watch. This is like auditory heaven.

I have put this song on loop for years. I like this better than the official

When the beat kicked in at 3:26 I knew everything was gonna be okay in my day.

This version gives me life

Repeat, repeat, repeat. Totally agree with the other guys, the same people watch this over and over like myself. Oh well at least we can enjoy it as much a we want.

I've watched this video so many times and I always come back for some reason

Gotta be one of the most beautiful videos on all of KZfaq

This version is so much better than the official MV.

Finally found this video again. It’s burned in my memory. Something about it is just so unique to me

I cannot believe there were actual customers at this mall that kept on waking and didn't stop to listen. They must be passionless soulless individuals. It must suck to be them.

i like this better than the studio version. way better.

This is my first time hearing this band. I must say I freakin love their style. Also how the hell does this only have 1 million views while Taylor swift's video has 800 million. WTF!

i'm completely obsessed with this band. and i am not ashamed.

La Blogotheque always takes my weary tired ears, worn down from mainstream din ( *cough* Re *ugh* becca Bla*heaves*) and drops them in a warm comforting tub of quality music and lets them soak in the eargasmic melodies

I still remember seeing this and falling in love instantly with this band. And to this day, this video still gives me chills.

I love how this just shows that every instrument, every member of the band, plays an integral part to the song. Everything just layers together to make it complete. Without each member doing their part, it just wouldn't sound the same.

Not even the internets most over used word Epic can describe how magical this is.

This may be the best takeaway show I've ever seen.

i had an audio rip of this on my ipod when i was in high school and i always hated listening to the beginning of it where they're all just shooting the shit and laughing it bothered me so much i thought they were probably assholes. now i see it and the annoying audio paired with the visual after these years is such a weird experience.

Man this song is so good. Tears, man, so many tears.

This song is chock full of amazing moments, but my favorite is at the 5:08-5:15 mark where our moustached friend Taylor opens the gates to musical heaven.

Pretty much every week, I think to myself.. what's missing from today? Then i come here, and listen to this, and I figure it out..

Cannot wait to hear them live in an intimate type of venue. Great artists

gave me the biggest smile knowing that everybody was watching and taking pictures

The smile on her face says it all.

Still come back to this and still get goosebumps

The way everything comes together so perfectly is amazing!

I cant stop watching this ._.

The acoustics in those hallways are amazing

Dear KZfaq, Thank you for leading me to beautiful music that may not be "new", but new to me on the regular. Love, -YoInJal

I love the song! I love the idea! You guys are amazing 😊

Everything melds so beautifully- three guitars, three voices and two drums! Also for some reason, the video editing does my head in; in that one long shot of them performing, how did the shot seamlessly go from behind Taylor to behind Matt?! And then it pans up and there's no one behind Taylor! whaaat.

This is one of my top KZfaq videos of all time.

music. the way it was always supposed to be. no additives. so good for the soul.

Love their voices projected through the room, makes it sound incredible

really one of my favorites

Good music is good. This is what music SHOULD be about. FEELINGS!

This is the best Take Away Show IMO

Chalie Day on the drums has some pipes

this made me cry! damn it!!! so good!

Raw emotion. This is so real right now.

Absolutely beautiful. There is a big difference between a love for performing and a love for music making, and you can tell these guys love making music. Their passion is astounding.
