@@EdwardFerreira-u6hchill man, why are you raining on the parade? I heard the little girl on Ellen sing "home". That still doesn't take away the wonder of all of their music.
Since I can't find the list of musicians anywhere else, Here they are Alex Ebert - Vocals Jade Castrino - Vocal Nico Aglietti - Guitar Christian Letts - Percussion (Up front behind Alex) Aaron Older - Bass Tay Strathairn - Guitar (Long hair in the back) Nora Kirkpatrick - Accordion Josh Collazo - Percussion (In the hat) Orpheo McCord - Keyboard Stewart Cole - Trumpet/Vocals At least I'm pretty sure! 240p video makes it hard to tell!
I distinctly remember the first time I heard this tune (Home)...my best friend had died and I was driving cross country from Baltimore to San Francisco and was somewhere in the middle of Kansas surfing through the FM stations when this caught my ear...it took me months to find out who the artist was, but I never forgot it. Something about it just gave me the warm and fuzzies or maybe it was the emotion of Hatman passing, don't know. Whatever it was, it was magical to me.
I'm so glad that our hideous selection of FM radio stations was able to offer you this gem of a song (no sarcasm). Kansas is equal parts beautiful and awful, and our open prairies and fields can sometimes have a very magical effect with the right music.
The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long. I don't know much about this band but it's fairly apparent that she was the energy field that kept everything else in orbit.
@@wildkeith Well to be fair a band where the leads are lovers tend to have short live spans. She was clearly his muse and i'm sure the druggy bits helped to make this beautiful music aswell. But in the end its often also the downfall. So yeah, twice as bright, half as long seems fair enough of an observation.
@@wildkeith So she’s totally responsible for the downfall of this band? It’s was all her fault? Everyone else went clean and sober and didn’t wanna b around someone using whatever it is she was using so they went on tour without her untill (when and if) she decided to quit as well…she didn’t have an issue playing music with a bunch of turned sober hippies trying to make it in these changing times (I love this music so don’t think I’m downing them), THEY didn’t wanna play with someone who WASNT sober, so they took the authoritarian road and made that decision for her…and it became HER fault that no one was buying their music anymore? Just asking…
In 2009, I was still missing the 90s, now I miss 2009 almost as much. Enjoy the time you’re in I guess or you’ll be looking back 8n some future and wish you had.
Her voice and the passion she has in the songs sends chills down my spine. She’s in love with this music. You can’t feel it seeping through the speakers.
@@feralmodethey meant compared to now, this is an old tiny desk, the recent years she’s been seen in good health. This tiny desk every person was in a drug problem, but most have come a long way
no bands these days are in it for the money. if you manage to make a decent living out of it, you got very lucky. most bands tour relentlessly just to be able to afford to make an album that they won't make much from because most people have stopped buying music because they can get it for free. it's a shit industry to be in these days if you're not at the top.
It’s mind-blowing to me that it was 13 years ago that I came across this session, which inspired me to buy their first album, the rest, and to attend several of their concerts. I had some remarkable times and memories listening to their music, joining them in person. They really had that “something special” and I feel happy to have gotten to enjoy it. Beauty is fleeing, but the memory lasts forever.
Wow, youre fortunate to have enjoyed them live. When I discovered them, they had already been a shinning star and were a burned-out cinder. makes me sad.
@@kareywhit1she absolutely had a drug problem. Alexander had a bad problem also but he was trying to stay on the right track and she wasn't, there are multiple instances of band members talking about this.
This video is almost 10 years old. Holy shit. And i'm still coming back.This band holds such a special place in my heart. i'll always miss what this band used to be. whenever I get sad that they kicked jade out/changed, I remind myself of the amazing music they created for years and how i can always come back to it and that gets me through.
NPR if you still have the original files for this and they happen to be in higher quality then 2009 YT was doing back then. PLEASE upload this again if you can up the quality. Me and manymany more are still absolutly in love with Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zero's and this session is a brilliant gem. If you lads and lasses are able to give this an upgrade it would be loved by many !
The female signer is totally drugged out here. It's such a happy song about falling and being in love and I don't know enough about this band to know if they were ever together or just bandmates but you can see how over it all he is when he sings.
Yes, you can tell just by watching her in the video. Her movement is extremely erratic and characteristic of someone on heroin or speed. They ultimately kicked her out of the band due to her drug problems. I don't know if her and the lead singer were ever together but his eyes look like someone who loves someone he knows is already gone.
Holy shit. They must play this song so many times in the course of a month, but those two still look at each other with the most stunning passion and love... beautiful music, beautiful people.
This was the first Tiny Desk concert I stumbled onto 7 years ago, and I still watch every single one. This group is all about the journey, really enjoy hearing them. If you enjoy this, watch "Big Easy Express" with Edward Sharpe, The Mumfords and Old Crow Medicine Show... world class once-in-a-lifetime fun ride.
First time I saw this video I was a bit weirded out, but now it's been about a month and suddenly I have a craving to watch it again.. FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I'M CRYING!!
I don't think people who have never been in a drugged out relationship will truly get it. That "vibe check" at 4:40 always gets me. I'd always been the Jade one, and I never really found home again. But, I can listen to this song now with relative ease, and not be such a mess for weeks. I'm okay now, Alexander, it's just a bitter sigh at the bottom of my gin. Hope you're doing well, too.
Amazing band, great music and vibes. Love them. Love the way this music makes me feel!!! She is very high haha but he is watching her every move! I think he loves her !
THIS BAND ACTUALLY GOT ME THROUGH SO MUCH I LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL eurhgoiaerght they remind me of a summer camp i went to in north carolina where we went camping and to a farm and knew the people who led it and their children and i miss all the people i met there so much I LOVE THIS high key in tears they're so good
Well it's actually pretty sad, as Jade was very high on drugs during this concert, Alex loved her like crazy and was extremely worried about her and it was hard for them to even get through the concert. That's why he was genuinely shocked about being requested to do one more song 😔
rhythms deep down inside of me came out with a cult sensation felt long ago and now with these tunes: thank you kindly. Janglin - Home - 40 Day Daydream 🐬
A lot of people here are just saying that they probably stink and do drugs, what may be true, but does that really matters? Should not we be paying more attention to the amazing music that they're doing? idk man, people just care too much about the surface and looks and shit, this is pretty sad for me.
I love the happy hippy family living off the grid feel to this act . I also love what NPR is doing with this Tiny Desk thing. Cool. Keep up the good work.
And to think that 240p was one of the best video resolutions we had here on RU-vid... whatever, these songs are still very good and unforgettable for me (twelve years after the first time I heard them)!
2023, still missing her (Jade). Thanks to this group bc I have the love of my life. Even if he is 29383587 miles away from me. I love him, and I know he loves me.
anyone commenting "what the fuck is wrong with her" and shit like that can get out of here. jade is so beautiful and talented. the monster stole her mind and its sad how high she is in this video but please don't comment things like that especially if you can just read the comments before...
+Steph Chen +Linus Martin are both right. Sheer joy is what the addict wants to be and share. The trouble is that drugs are the only way to get them there anymore. The road to recover is rarely tougher than when in a popular touring band.
This is true although more accurately. She is a writer. She writes for comedies, stuff like that but you're right she was cast as Dwight's fiance at the end of the office and would have been the main female protagonist if the farm was picked up
Alex Ebert (the male singer) actually gave up drugs (I think). He said that in a video and admitted his problems. I met these guys at evolve festival two years ago. I had a backstage pass because my band played there. Jade gave me oranges and talked to us and was super nice. I shook Alex's hand but he seemed off, still one of the best shows I've ever seen.
