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 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.
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.
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
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.
My ex gf and I shared music, now I listen to it with tears in my eyes but extremely happy for all the love we shared. I sincerely hope that you feel the same way I did for 8 happy years
Vocals are top shelf The introduction of each musical layer is genius Deep and thought provoking songwriting just brings it all together A true diamond in the rough I love it Thank you for sharing
I can't believe this is 12 years old & it's the first time I seen this!!! One of my fave songs by them, next to Airplanes.... My brother's next door neighbor was a cousin to a member of the band & gave him a CD of their music, before they got popular, he didn't play it & she would asked more than once, if he listened to it, he just assumed, they were some local, no talent band. Finally, he listened to it & was so glad he did!! He recommended them to me, but I was already hip to them.... I dig their voices, their drumming, their uniqueness-They sound like no other....
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 RUclips. This band is such a gem.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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
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!
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.
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.
When I first got into Local Natives, this video was one of the first ones I saw and it takes me back. One of my favorite bands ever. I'm glad I got to see them live a few times
Just absolutely beautiful. It is a terrible shame that this music isn't heard by all. I can't believe I haven't heard of these guys yet. Pure talent all the way to the core.
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.
hadnt heard this song in a long time, almost had forgotten that i even had it. such joy coming across it again randomly. this truly is an AWE-some song. and such an amazing band. so stoked i discovered their musical art.
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’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!!
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 keep coming back to this video. It's just so beautiful.. watching these guys play with the acoustic of the plaza must have been a wonderful experience.
I remember watching this a few months ago, and just now I had the visual/video in my head, and I remember it was a beautiful performance, so I tried so hard to find this video again. I'm so glad I found it again. How could I forget, Local Natives.
@local natives I shared this song with my best friend back in 2011 and she fell in love with it, then in 2014 she shared this with her husband, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 after her first born son, she passed in late 2017. This song will forever be a staple in my heart and I now play this for her memory. ❤️❤️❤️
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.
I watched this video for the first time, 4 years ago & it is still my all time favorite video & band, and it forever will be. I love you Local Natives, thank you for creating such beautiful music
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.
I think i've listened to this song a thousand times. la blogotheque is amazing..... they bring "take away shows" to my small town and put sweet melodies from bands like this into the ears of small town country folk. thanks

Tu penses toujours que c'est "toujours la même chose"? haha
Thats pretty awesome. Did you know what was about to happen or was this just some random shopping trip?
9 years later and this is still one of my favourite videos on the internet to this day
Mine too (: cried when i saw it the first time 11 years ago and still remember
11 years later and this still hits different :,)
11 years now 💜
Samezies ❤
12 years later now, so good
I have been watching this video for over 11 years now...Time F'ing Flies
Same...this was before i entered to collegue ,now i am a doctor and i keep coming
Fucking same. Blows me away. So many changes through the years.
Listening to this some 13 years later had me bawling. This recording is a gem.

that sweet little girl in the background will never know how lucky she is to have had witnessed this live
If you mean the girl at the end, trust me she knows, she's my friend and you can find her in the comments❣
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.
Thousand times better than the recorded version.

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.
very happy to know that i'm not the only one who does this :')
It’s my favorite video on RUclips. I love these guys so much.
This is a special video and also a special comment here.
Glad I’m not alone bc same
This song really moved me in my formative years.
I've never heard a band that sounded so much better out of a studio than in it.
+presmadagascar Really? because I love their studio recordings too
+presmadagascar look up ben howard
the tallest man on earth is also a ton better live
That Red Rocks performance was incredible
That was my first thought when looking up their other stuff too.
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
10 years later and I still show people this video to introduce local natives to them
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.
Where can i find a girl friend like yours
damn i'm lonely
they're probably broken up.
Believe it or not that's what I look for in a guy to feel the same lyrics like I do
My ex gf and I shared music, now I listen to it with tears in my eyes but extremely happy for all the love we shared. I sincerely hope that you feel the same way I did for 8 happy years
12 years ago now? So much has happened since this was released, my mind is blown.
Vocals are top shelf The introduction of each musical layer is genius Deep and thought provoking songwriting just brings it all together A true diamond in the rough I love it Thank you for sharing
What a polite, nicely dressed, attractive, incredibly talented group of men. Listening to this feels like being hugged.
I can't believe this is 12 years old & it's the first time I seen this!!! One of my fave songs by them, next to Airplanes....

I dig their voices, their drumming, their uniqueness-They sound like no other....
Saw this when it came out, still watching in 2020 🖤
hayleybird1011 same , good time Flies . Was like lol 😂 18
9 years ago, and I’m back.
Same. And still watching in 2021. I would love the audio of this.
I've watched this video so many times and I always come back for some reason
you guys introduced me to my favorite band 3 years ago. I'll never forget.
Chandler Young Nice!
+La Blogothèque same here!
Same here
It is 2019, are you still listening???
@@santiagogutierrez1594 Heck yes my dude. LN for life
I never cried so much for a song, I need to cry two thousand more years to get over this song
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 RUclips. This band is such a gem.
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.
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!!!
This song took me a thousand years to find!!!! At last my happiness is complete!!
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.
Every time I see/hear this it gives me hope for the world. ❤
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.
Ahhhh!!!! so great! I just keep listening again and again.
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.
Honestly one of the songs that got me through a bad graduate school experience. But I made it! Thank you local natives!!
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.

Music has gone to shit
Probably the best band I’ve ever heard live. The way their vocals go together is beautiful.
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!
Seriously! I feel the same way
This gave me shivers. SHIVERS, I TELLYA!
I wonder how many times i've watched this...
mee tooo!!!

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
That little girl was just exposed to what great music sounds like and she will never forget it.
Drummer not wearing hat has the lungs of a sweet sweet angel.
I thought you're profile photo was a hair on my monitor
@@zanedeso336 Same here
His name is Kelcey Ayer. :)
They all do.
Best version of this song
I love the way that girl lights up when they first pass her by.
This version is better than the studio version.
Ryan's guitar part.......ughghhh so good
One of the ALL-TIME BEST performances EVER!!!
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

Their 3rd album's coming soon and you should definitely check out more of their songs if you haven't already
Their gonna be in Austin for ACL on October 2nd and 9th and will be in Dallas October 3rd and Houston October 8th 👍🏽
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.
When the second drummer picks up it all just comes together which then causes me to have a complete and utter mind exploding eargasm.
Gotta be one of the most beautiful videos on all of RUclips
4 years later, this is still my favourite video of all time.
I think that this just might be my favourite performance...ever.
Holy Jesus. That was one of the most amazing live performances ive ever seen. Horray for the internet
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.
+Iris Binuya well if it's for seeing the National too I would gladly do it too hah
I bet it was worth it!!! Watch an amazing local natives set, nap through the national, and then see arcade fire who are incredible live.
Was 23 when i heard this now im 33 and I still get the goosebumps everytime.
Cannot wait to hear them live in an intimate type of venue. Great artists
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 still remember seeing this and falling in love instantly with this band. And to this day, this video still gives me chills.
Even after all the years this gives me the heaviest chills
My favorite version of my favorite song!
Mine too!
The song, the setting, the performance, the execution... Perfection.
i like how the drummer freaks out even before they started the show.
This video was actually the first time I has heard Local Natives and I've been in love ever since. What a great space too! Just amazing.
this is ethereal. better than the recorded version
When I first got into Local Natives, this video was one of the first ones I saw and it takes me back. One of my favorite bands ever. I'm glad I got to see them live a few times
This version gives me life
I always come back to this video for a pick-me-up. I always get overwhelmed for some reason, it builds up so beautifully.
The way everything comes together so perfectly is amazing!
Just absolutely beautiful. It is a terrible shame that this music isn't heard by all. I can't believe I haven't heard of these guys yet. Pure talent all the way to the core.
I love that they have to hold Kelcey back in the beginning lol
I saw you guys in May, and omg, just as incredible as when I first heard this album and especially this song. Please never stop sharing your art!
Love their voices projected through the room, makes it sound incredible
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.
gave me the biggest smile knowing that everybody was watching and taking pictures
hadnt heard this song in a long time, almost had forgotten that i even had it. such joy coming across it again randomly. this truly is an AWE-some song. and such an amazing band. so stoked i discovered their musical art.
Man this song is so good. Tears, man, so many tears.
