Daughter - Montreux Jazz Festival 2016 [720p] 

What a flawless performance. One of the best UK bands of the last ten years, not enough people seem to realise that

That light, in her face...

When she sings, she becomes the most beautiful woman that has ever walked the earth

Was there, i cried, nothing more to say...

I don't think I've ever seen something more beautiful than 3:07 to 3:11..

smother feels so deep

This lighting is hella dope

Every time she sings the last part of smother i see sadness in her eyes, specially when she says my mother. Amazing performance

I can feel her brokenness as she sings "Smother". I felt the same, I was always "too much" for him. I gave my everything and it hurt me. I get attached too quickly and have a deep fear of abandonment instilled in me. "Sometimes I wish I stayed inside my mother, never to come out", I've tried to take my own life before, and I often have dark thoughts. I'm working on it more now. Life's funny sometimes, and it's finally getting better now. I used to believe I didn't deserve to be happy. That I'll always be hurting and scared. I feel grateful to be alive. I love life and I have learnt how to really appreciate it more now. Whoever's reading this, I'm sending you love. Stay safe friend

Fossa's ending is so powerful. That bass from 55:35, the incredible drums. They really give it all into their music.

wow, that dead silence during smother.. thats the highest gratitude an audience can give an artist, which sounds contradictory :) -I think Daughter is the only band I've ever seen, where this happens. Bless you guys

I love this performance more every time I watch... I watch fairly often.

she couldn't be more beautiful

Their sound-man deserves a gods damn Nobel Peace Prize.

00:48 How 05:05 Tomorrow 10:03 Numbers 14:45 Alone/with you 19:36 Human 24:25 Smother 30:27 Doing the right thing 36:18 No care 39:38 New ways 45:12 Youth 50:52 Fossa

The number of times I've watched this whole video in the last two weeks, it's frightening.

Bands like this are a hidden treasure. I never heard of these guys, yet about a week ago I somehow came across them. Now I am addicted to them. It makes me wonder how many other bands this incredible are hidden away from me waiting to be discovered lol.

I've always dreamed to go on a Daughter show (which is my fav band), and if i have an opportunity one day, i'll probably just stay still on the same place crying the entire show.

Fossa creates such an ethereal atmosphere I just can't think of a better song to wrap up their incredible show. This is outstanding.

They're incredible live.

29:01 How is this humanly possible to create such a hauntingly melancholic vocal - one of the best renditions of Smother.

her voice as therapy for me…

I Thank God for discovering Daughter 😍

She's literally shining.

I was there 🎉

NOT GONNA LIE THAT INTRO IS GIVING ME SO MUCH GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!

daughter will always be the number 1 inspiration of my music

Thank you Daughter for helping me release the pain I hold inside of me, to let it all go and make me happy again. You have no idea how inspirational and helpful you've been to me over the years of heart break, pain and loss I've suffered through, I really need your music to get through the day sometimes...

gosh that Smother song she made it unworldly GOOD !!

Smother was so emotional and beautiful. At one point it's completely silent and that just adds so much more effect.

Saw them live and, god damn that woman has a powerful voice live. Never heard anything like it. If you have the opportunity to watch them live JUST DO IT.

RU-vid has been trying to feed me this video for a couple of months now, but I've ignored it. Until now. Long story short, I should have clicked on it as soon as I saw it haha

That is the most sublime performance of 'Smother', live or otherwise.

Absolute magic. The only band left that I'm DYING to see live. I hope they are still together.

guys the make a come back this year (2023), chexk them out

I have listened to this band for about 6 or 7 years, but just now I realized how beautiful Elena Tonra really is.

During Smother she has such a pained expression on her face. It cuts deep. Haunting and beatiful.

This might be one of the best things I’ve ever been recommended. I’m so glad to find this band. I just keep going back to this it’s so beautiful

"Tomorrow" what a tune. How come they produced that sound live, absolutely immense.

I really hope Daughter will someday release some of their live acts both in audio visual format for their millions of fans worldwide. ......just brilliant stuff. ..all the live acts. .....👍👍👍👍

Come back here to listen specifically to these versions - like "Alone/With You" and "Doing the Right Thing," really special.

I LOVE how this little chord at 21:28 makes her smile for the rest of the song

LiS Before the Storm introduced me to this glorious band. They’re absolutely perfect and phenomenal to hear while chilling out, studying, and working out! 🎧 🎶

All i can say is WOW!!!

The best thing ever seen. Love this band... love how much their music shakes your soul.

I am from Hong Kong and I listen to Daughter every single day

None is like Daughter and Mogwai. They make the most powerful post rock I've ever listen to.. wow

elena tonra is just... no words

Her voice soothes my soul. I wish I can watch them live too.

That thumbnail is wallpaper worthy

I'm not sure who is more sensual, Elena or her voice, but I'm sure that she is as beautiful as her music

That lighting just manages to make everything gloomy and bright at the same time...

The music is so beautiful , and she is stunning !!

i want this DOING THE RIGHT THING version on spotify

My love life is like a never-ending tour of Daughter songs, not a single happy thing ever, but somehow, I feel it's the most beautiful thing I have.

i love this concert so much

Elenas smiles is the best!! She can notice how everyone is enjoying and appreciating the music!!

Proof that less is more when it comes to art. It's astonishing to me that such a young band has put out two LPs, a couple of EPs and some singles and there's not a single bad song on any of them. They make albums that you have to listen to in their entirety or you miss out. I'd sell both my corneas and at least one of my livers to see them in person.

her voice is angelic ,and lighting gives the right vibes

I absolutely fell in love with all their songs after hearing Youth in Life is Strange. They’re amazing.

Боже, концовка "Fossa" это просто что-то невероятное! 🤯😱 Мне так нравится британский post-rock и shoegaze, что я получил искреннее удовольствие от прослушивания этой композиции!

I'm gonna save a lot of money just to see you someday live, and hopefully meet you. Love your music!!! I love Daughter. Love from Argentina!

Numbers (lyrics) Take the worst situations Make a worse situation Follow me home, pretend you Found somebody to mend you I feel numb I feel numb in this kingdom I feel numb I feel numb in this kingdom Can you clean lace faces? Black out nights and tight spaces? We'll feel distant embraces Scratching hands 'round my waist, yeah I wish my mouth would still taste you I feel numb I feel numb in this kingdom I feel numb I feel numb in this kingdom You better, you better, you better You better make me Me better, me better You better make me better I feel numb, make me better I feel numb in this kingdom I feel numb, make me better I feel numb in this kingdom

Human (lyrics) Woken up like an animal Teeth ready for sinking My mind's lost in bleak vision I've tried to escape but keep sinking Limbs lost to a dead wait steak Skull cage like a prison And he has lost faith to ever see again So may he once taught of me then Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human But I think I'm dying here Waking up like an animal I'm all ready for healing My mind's lost with nightmares streaming Waking up kicking screaming Take me out of this place I'm in Break me out of this shale case I'm in Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human I think that I'm still human I think that I'm still human I think that I'm still human Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human But I think I'm dying here

Pure beauty...(watching in 2021) can't get enough!

I'm jelly of them humans who got to see *daughter* yall so lucky asdfghjkl

one of the greatest discoveries that i made this year 2016. Greetings from Argentina. Happy new year for everyone!!!

I really like the sound of this band, of their music. Surprised, got here by chance cause I Shazam'ed their hit 'Sleeping Alone' (earworms, y'know). Some bands, it's the awesome production...here, being live, I'm enjoying the sound of the performance.

Listening to this set after the end of a 7 year relationship is honestly pretty cathartic.

A Daugther meets St Vincent could make a better world, love them, both. Thanks for sharing!

This performance of Numbers has my heart. The amount of tears I’ve shed to this video.. ❤

Smother is by farrr their best.

Youth (lyrics) Shadows settle on the place that you left Our minds are troubled by the emptiness Destroy the middle it's a waste of time From the perfect start to the finish line And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs Setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong The lovers that went wrong We are the reckless We are the wild youth Chasing visions of our futures One day we'll reveal the truth That one will die before he gets there And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone We're setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home It was a flood that wrecked this home And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it Well, I've lost it all, I'm just a silouhette A lifeless face that you'll soon forget My eyes are damp from the words you left Ringing in my head when you broke my chest Ringing in my head when you broke my chest And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one 'Cause most of us are bitter over someone Setting fire to our insides for fun To distract our hearts from ever missing them But I'm forever missing him And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it

She is too lovely

Daughter, you have my unconditionnal love. Being so human and writing so well shouldn't be allowed. There is too much pleasure in one place.

That smother performance is just magical

It's impossible to describe how much I love her voice, whole band is absolutely amazing, one day I'll make some artwork for you guys, wish I'll have a chance ! All the best

I flipped love daughter. Love from South Africa

holy fckng shit, SMOTHER fucking killed it!

it's imposible not to cry listening this

I just dropped water on my legs because this is so amazing.

I've listened to numbers countless times, so that part at 13:44 really blew my mind. Its amazing to find these little gems in their live performances.

I'd never have thought I'd say this but these guys are just WAY better live than in studio.

That smother performance was breathtaking

If I was there I would’ve definitely cried

Goosebumps goosebumps goosebumps... I love daughter so god damn much,, Especially while reading or just plain listening to their music makes you feel like you're amidst clouds.

dreaming of the day I will see them live

Mesmerized... Your music pierces the soul. Masterpiece after masterpiece. Please come to Greece! ❤❤❤

I need to see this band live before I die

They’re crazy talented i love them

I need to hear Fossa live before I die

I don't know but with all that's happening now I found myself listenjng back to daughter and i cant help but tear up. Who's from Philippines here? Yakap kapatid. Matatapos din to. May araw din sila, matatapos din sila.

If somehow this music could have been included on the Voyager probe, I think it would greatly increase the chance for intelligent life to contact us!!

While you’re busy diving down I find I feel alone. 54:59

I really enjoy how Elena sings, for me her voice its very celestial and all the feeling that she puts in every word

i saw these guys play in a tiny room in cardiff in 2009/10 where 90% of the crowd was sat down cross legged. probably a 100 cap room at most and i remember feeling haunted by their music. i was in awe of what i was seeing and have loved them since. seen them live on many occasions but to see them in that room was unreal.

I hope they will tour again. Never saw them live

Why can't I listen to "Youth" without starting to cry? ❤

Alone / With you (lyrics) I hate sleeping alone Terrified with the lights out I hate living alone Talking to myself is boring conversation Me and I are not friends She is only an acquaintance I hate dreaming of being alone Cause you are never there Just a shadowy figure with a blank face Kicking me out of his place I hate walking alone I should get a dog or something I hate eating alone I hate eating alone I hate sleeping with you Cause you are never there Just a shadowy figure with a blank face Kicking me out of his place I hate living with you I should get a dog or something I hate walking with you Talking to myself is boring conversation You and I were once friends Now you're only an acquaintance I hate dreaming of being with you I hate dreaming of being with you I hate dreaming of being with you Terrified with the lights out Terrified with the lights out

❤️Daughter
