Clairo - "Bags" (Recorded Live for World Cafe) 

This song is perfect. I wouldn't get tired of listening to it, it really makes me very emotional; it's very special for me

This is one of the most amazing Clairo performances. Raw. Intimate.

*is it just me or does this song really hit different?*

this version of bags feels like taking a blanket right out of the dryer and wrapping yourself in it

This drummer is fuckin fire. Different bass pattern gives this three chord miracle the urgency she needs. Chills every time .

the blue eyeliner makes this even more a vibe

hearing the intro of her playing the guitar is just so comforting i cant explain it... the chords r so insanely good

i love how she sings with her eyes closed, like she's so deeply connected to the song she doesn't care about making a performance or anything, just feels the melody completely.

The prettiest side profile!

As a certified old fart, I'm here to slap anyone come tell me the kids ain't doing anything worthy these days.

me and my wife will be head banging to this song at our wedding someday. so thank u, claire.

this will always be my favorite version

she pours her whole self into this song every time

The fact that i have to watch this at least once a day

Why am I obsessed with her? I have a huge crush on her 😩

The vocal choices she makes are spot on

went to see her in detroit, sadly the entire crowd was 14 year old girls who wouldn’t let you move around or hear her over their screaming, she has such a soft voice. so i appreciate videos like this where its stripped down and you can really hear her voice, its so soft and beautiful

I'm a cisgendered 60-year-old man and this is simply a great song. Whatever one's sex or sexual preference, relationships are always between two people. We are all in this together . . . even breaking up.

I need friends who listen to this kinda music I swear 😭

the precision in her vocals on this is absolutely unreal

WOW SHE IS SO TALENTED!!

this is still my favorite version

It's so cool how she has her sound and style figured out at such a young age. I find her voice and style very unique. I'm in love with her lyrics

its crazy how soft her voice is, makes me so emotional

when she said "yeah" i felt that

She needs a tiny desk concert

protect her at all costs

this song will always be my safe place

GOSH SHES SO PRETTY

LOOK HOW CUTE THE DRUMMER IS WHILE PLAYING HIS DRUM OMG

MY SIDE PROFILE COULD NEVERKJSDLKJLAJ

This song makes me think of my first time with the first girl I ever loved. I sent her a letter (per her request) - reconnecting for the first time in the past 5+ years. I included this in a playlist I wrote out (like we used to make for each other). She passed away from a fent OD a couple of months ago before finishing her letter back to me. Today is her birthday.

The drummer played way different than the original version

ugh her voice... so dreamy

I love how she looks so natural. Like a real human and not a “famous person” who has to look “unreal”

The drummer is so into it.

Lyrics [Verse 1] Every second counts I don't wanna talk to you anymore, All these little games You can call me by the name I gave you yesterday, Every minute counts I don't wanna watch TV anymore, yeah Can you figure me out? Just doin' this to waste more time on the couch [Chorus] Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right time I can't read you, but if you want, the pleasure's all mine Can you see me using everything to hold back? I guess this could be worse Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags, [Verse 2] Pour your glass of wine Mitchell told me I should be just fine (Yeah) Cases under the bed Spill it open, let it rush to my head I don't wanna be forward, I don't wanna cut corners Savor this with everything I have inside of me I'm not the type to run I know that we're having fun But what's the rush? Kissing, then my cheeks are so flushed Tell you how I felt Sugar coated melting in your mouth Pardon my emotions I should probably keep it all to myself Know you'd make fun of me Know you'd make fun of me Know you'd make fun of me Know you'd make fun of me [Chorus] Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right time I can't read you, but if you want, the pleasure's all mine Can you see me using everything to hold back? I guess this could be worse Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags

i saw someone make a comment about her closing her eyes when she’s singing? all i can tell you is that playing and being the lead guitarist and singer of an extremely tight band is an extremely exhilarating feeling that no one who hasn’t done it can really explain . you feel really in control of something intense

one of the best songs of the year! Proud to watch them flourish from afar

this song sums up my current situation with a close straight friend of mine and i cant emphasize on how much i adore it

Reminds me of my son he always played it he passed away 😢 last week keep crying

she is so so ridiculously talented. and this is definitely my favorite song this year❤️claire

This is probably one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

I LIKE HER LIVE VERSIONS MOREEEEEEEE ITS SO GENUINE AND NOSTALGIC

I saw clairo this last year and this was what she chose for an encore. She started tearing up onstage and it made all the times I’ve cried to this song feel validated

This sounds better than the studio recording

i watch this performance at least once a day - it's called self care

3:39 THE WAY SHE SAID BAGS

I love this song; specifically this version: her passion confirms an authentic experience. When I watch this video, I think about my daughters and how much they've grown. I think about their future such as their first crush,their first relationship, how their experience will be when they become teenagers and all the ups and downs of life.

so angelic so pure so smooth so interesting & special 10/10

I have listened to this over 30 times in the span of 2 days

Bro, I came to terms with my sexuality when I heard this song and I’m proud to say I’m BISEXUAL. This song just hit different in that moment, honestly, the perfect song to accept who you are and who you choose to love

I don't why, but this song almost does it for me. So many deep regrets in my life. I wake up each day and remind myself to enjoy my day. To forgive myself for all my failures. I make excuses to soften the blow. I say things like, "alot of the men in my family were like this." I accept it as perfection yet deep sensations arise when I reflect on my greatest defeats. Disturbing thoughts that have crossed my mind so often they've now become beliefs. Part of being in hell is being so close to being free; Being so close to achieving dreams and goals worthy enough to consider yourself redeemed.

here before it blows up. love you claire.

This song and lyrics is perfect!❤

Who the hell gave a dislike to our goddess?

it's summer 2023 and i still enjoy this so much like it was yesterday ✌️☀️✨

The sound quality is insane!

this is my favorite version of bags i always find myself back here

this song is my favourite song. period. it will never get old and it reminds me of both sad and happy times, and it's just nostalgic and pure and good. yeah.

Clairo has definitely improved!

The story and emotions portrayed in this song are beautiful and haunting.

claire will forever hold a special place in my heart, no matter what. her songs made me feel comforted as soon as i heard them

WoW her voice is breathtaking what a beautiful woman

this is the best version of bags imo

this was my shit 3 years ago listening to this banger again a couple years later im crying my eyes out

I keep coming back to this live version

The live version has such an intimate, emotional feel to it. I love the recorded version, but the live version brings another layer of pathos.

i’m still listening to this performance religiously😭❤️

bags is my favorite song, it’s March 1st 2023 and right now this is my favorite song from Clairo!!! I’ve been listening over and over and I’m obsessed with this version.

a gorgeous person with a gorgeous personality

I watch this religiously

Her improv vocal parts are awesome. Super impressed.

Simultaneously smiling and crying has never felt so good

i keep coming back to this :") hearing clairo live sounds like a dream 🥲

She soooo fucking talented, not only does she have an angelic voice but she can play a GUITAR with her EYES CLOSED for a 4 MINUTE SONG

This song never gets old.

Happy 4 years Bags! This song saved me in so many ways. My favorite song. Love every version Claire have made, and Dominic's. But this has to be my all time favorite version. so beautiful. Never commented on a youtube video before. But this one goes to my favorite song and my lucky number 4!❤

About 2 months ago I was in a toxic relationship and this song randomly came up on Spotify and it just... destroyed me. I don't cry a lot, but this made me ugly cry. All that repressed anger and sadness was just released. I broke up with that douche and looking back now, I think this song was my motivation to do so. Thank you for that, Clairo

I think for anyone who’s felt like this for a friend this song encapsulates the feeling perfectly and that’s why it means so much to people :)

Her voice is so smooth, and soothing. Don't ever stop making music, we appreciate you and all that you do to share your music will all of us. You are truly a blessing to us all.

I literally come back to this like everyday

I can’t explain how much I absolutely LOVE this song. It reminds me of the summer when the wind was blowing through my hair. The sun on my face. The smell of the hot trees and grass...really miss it.

Clairo is the sweetiest thing in this planet

girl crush forever!

i love listening to claire i always come back to this

Best version of this song

This reminded me of why this is one of my favourite songs of all time

This songs means a lot to me even though sad memories tied with it.

saw her perform a few weeks before her immunity tour. small warehouse in philly and I was 5 feet away from her. absolutely surreal. then I was actually in a mosh pit with her. her music makes me feel so much when I rarely feel at all. an experience i’ll hold extremely close to my heart everyday

her voice 🥺🥺🥺

i come back to this video for her voice and the underrated drummer, great performance

Wow... She's so good live!

I have been listening to this like 60 times, I’m not even lying

LYRICS Every second counts I don't wanna talk to you anymore, and All these little games You can call me by the name I gave you Yesterday, yeah Every minute counts I don't wanna watch TV anymore, yeah Can you figure me out? Just doin' this to waste more time on the couch Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right time I can't read you but, if you want, the pleasure's all mine Can you see me using everything to hold back? I guess this could be worse Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags Walking out the door with your bags Pour your glass of wine Bet you'll tell me I should be just fine, yeah Cases under the bed Spill it open, let it rush to my head I don't wanna be forward I don't wanna cut corners…

This song hits so hard.

There will never be a time when I don’t come back to this version of this song

Wanna know how much I love this song? I got teary eyed.

i’ll never get over this performance

eyes closed, she really is amazing.
