I second this motion 👨‍⚖

This video is a masterpiece. It's useless to try repeat it.

holler

The quality is soooo much better these days.

@@Whitman1819 audio nay but may?

Gotta check out The Drury Brothers - Time For Goodbye. Same fun indie vibe. Love it

accurate description

the other guys seems like the kid in class who didn't know shit

Margot Bethune THOUGHT THE SAME THING WHEN I DISCOVERED THEM

That's a superb description.

Bump this post

Top 10 npr for me and I like rap and rnb 🤷🏽‍♂️

The hero we never deserved

They need to fix the timestamps

Stephen Mortensen totally agree mate. If you can strip it all back to just a voice and an acoustic - and still it sounds magical - you know you've written a class tune

Honest John I agree but some great songs don’t work as acoustic and that’s okay too.

@@HotStrange definitely. Nothing bad about using all outlets available to create sound.

@@myopicandlost What are you guys talking about? Darude - Sandstorm sounds amazing acoustic... not XD

great comment

Exactly the same happened to me😄

e o vocalista mando um `se fudeu`pro carinha ali 2:25

Adoro 🥰

boaaa

Same! Love from Philippines 💖

In distant Russia, we also listen)

It’s mind blowing isn’t it :) you are gifted yourself to recognise the beauty:)

On the off-chance you ever see this comment, can you please explain to me what you mean by a backwards riff, and it sounding natural? I love knowing little intricacies of music. Thanks!

John Clash it’s just not a typical pop rhythm in some ways.

@@johnclash5978 It sounds 'backwards' because the rhythm guitar is being strummed on the off-beat. It's a syncopated rhythm.

@@happyfeely8061 And i think it's as much about how the vocals phrases are in combination with that guitar rhythm

one of the best bands ever

I'll listen to Phoenix until the last second

I am¡¡¡

suggested bands like this please!!

What a sound..!

you mean compromise and falling? 🤣

@@mtrps_ Nope.

@@MISFITPANDA51667 they said that because the timestamps didn’t read the song names correctly😂

Check out my new album “the quiet french whispers”

Smart? From where?

@@salvadorreyes1337 They have smart pop sensibilities and are produced in a way that makes them stand out from the other 7 million bands on this planet. U wanna go?

@@salvadorreyes1337 they are French and speaking/singing perfect English. Seems pretty smart to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’ve been following Phoenix since middle~school, i’m 22 now and this band is timeless. I think i’m going to get a Wolfgang Armadeus tattoo

I come back to this every few months. Freakin love this band.

I'm actually watching in 1901

Yes ! j'adore

@@scottkennethjones me too!

Now that I've heard this unplugged version of their music I can't help but think they're over produced. I listened the radio version of Lisztomania several times but it sounded maybe too pop for my taste, but now I wished they had their own unplugged so I could listen to it all day long. That's the best thing about the Tiny Desk concerts

gabo palacios I think the album sounds amazing but this is just as good

agreed. Shit is dope

Geoffrey Reynolds same as me dude. 29 this year and I think this was my most listened to album of the last 10 years

23 now, one of my most listened to bands in my teens and now still

Juliette DB especially 1901. good song to listen while walking down the hallway

Wolfgang is my fave ever

I still play this album a lot. Same with all of their others. Phoenix is a great band. I remember seeing the video to 1901 when MTV still occasionally played music.

Me too

Where did you see them?

That track is off their debut album United, WolfGang Amadeus Phoenix is album number 4!

I thought I never found this comment...

ya. "If I ever feel better" was released years before Wolfgang Amadeus was released :D

Too Young is also a gem

I was just thinking this. I didn't even realize they were French.

Darren Chung that's awesome! i never knew that.

If they learned English as kids it might not be that crazy to see them writing such great lyrics. If they learned English as adults then I'd be really impressed.

I will have you know that most people around the world learn English in school. I don't find it that surprising that a non-native English speaker can write such 'complex' lyrics in English. I'm not a native English speaker either. However I will say I'm surprised by the fact that they are French and they speak good English. Most French people are terrible at English because they have a self entitled sense that they don't need it so they don't put the effort in learning it at school.

THE STEADFAST CO yes

Same here..... I felt was a bit rude to use that low key humor with foreigners who didn't speak English as a first language.....

Yeah. And from what I have seen it's only ever been with them.

i felt kinda rudee

Even the blurb about the band in the KZfaq video description is insulting, as if their massive success cheapens their music "but somehow this performance is special in spite of that" as the implication.

even the description

you must be from illinois… we are the same person ❤️

+Username47948 rofl for real, it looks like it's a capture from lord of the rings to me for some reason :P

joey underwood he bared striking resemblance to Frodo

11:50

Yea. The guy playing guitar looks like a creep. The music was very good though.

Makes me feel better about judging a creep by it's looks.

Bear Boy Im glad i could make you happy! But seriously these guys are the best

Phoenix Mullendore I have no idea who these guys are, I was actually talking about you.

YES I KNOW

that was GOLD

Patrick Manville You should get gold for that comment

and Wes Anderson on the synth

fun fact, that guy was in a band with Daft Punk before Daft Punk and Phoenix existed

FRODO! lol

Swiss Army Man? :D

Wtf does that mean haha

@@theducvu5196 yes

From a Wes Anderson film.

He’s just french

same heree we have a good taste on music!! 😌🤚🏻😁

they are sooo unique😢

dude same! I've been loving this band for a decade and for some reason never got around to seeing them and fucking yes I was shocked. But in a good way! I pictured this very polished act filled with male models who love to party. Turns out they look like regular, down-to-earth people and it honestly just makes it even better.

I am no musician My fingers just felt like moving tho

Are you a photographer too? :P

Different parts of the brain🤘 cheers

Hollywood or youtube influence may be

@@manout-kidin8735 in fact, in france, all movies are in french with french voices

A lot of European singers have that transatlantic style of singing, not everybody but there must be a reason for it

@@artemregenesis629 I think it comes from listening to a lot of American music. They listened to Pixies a lot when they were younger and also Teenage Fanclub who I think are from the UK but also sound American so basically the same

je suis d'accord avec vous.

Just the frenchiest

As a matter of fact, they all look very french, even for me (I am too)

They are all french (from France), and really charming :)

Hahahahhha

I’ve never seen someone more French
