I love this version of «When they really get to know you...» so much, David's voice has gotten warmer and kinda rustier with age, it sounds so powerful.
Stop the friggin "underrated" comments. If he is playing in Tiny Desk he is not underrated. There are tenths of artists better than Bazan who never get this opportunity
yellow bike: might be the most immediately impactful piece of songwriting i've ever heard. crying within first 30 seconds and didn't stop. i almost never want to listen again so i can always have that.
Dude, for real, i was playing this in the background and minding my own business when i first listened to this. After a while i was like "holy cow!" because my eyes got blurry due to tears. Magical
@@HoonAgain I like alot guitar-bass-drums trios because the bass is so hearable (if hearable is a word), normally the real tone gets buried in instruments but in bands like this you can feel the low frequencies and the high ones from the bass, to me it sounds absolutely amazing.
I know them since a Long Time, i bought a Bandshirt Long ago in the 90s, Hearing this great band is Like Meeting an old friend again, i still can feel it
I'm with you brother! I grew up in the same Phoenix suburbs too and can't believe how well he summed up everything off and still on about Phoenix. He nails it.
That was a great album. I could only find it on soundcloud for a while I think. Heard it a buncha times. I kinda listen or hope I am listening to the stuff that gives them some royalties, not for some record company that was unkind to him or the band once upon a time and are squeezing such a Good band out of what I think is one of the noblest gifts you can give your life to. I wonder if he has any tattoos? ,dan'
Thanks NPR! Love Pedro the Lion! The album Winners Never Quit is still one of my favorite of all time, and was influential in my life. It came out when I was in college at a Christian university, and it was considered a "Christian album." Yet the album beautifully and emotionally expressed so much of what I felt was wrong with Christianity, I consider it part of my path towards atheism.
Can't wait for the new album to come out. It's been a while. 'It's hard to find a friend', 'Winners never quit', 'Control' and 'Achilles Heel' were all awesome!
The whole thing just hit me, it gave me an odd nostalgic feel, and sad, a happy sad, haha!, but a regular sad too!, its incredible what certain things can make you feel and what certain things can make you feel, and how, and when, and much, if that makes sense. To whoever reads, thanks, and, have, a day. 🍻
this not having as many views is both upsetting but also kind of charming. Bazan and his work are incredible, and the (relatively) few people who've seen this all get to share it. Phoenix is an incredible record by the way.
I ain't even watched it yet. I'm still in shock. How did I not see anything about this concert anywhere in the universe before today?!?!? My mind is blown.
Yellow Bike hits me so hard now that I'm teaching my daughter how to ride. Just let go of her seat last week but I hope she sticks around for a while :)
I respectfully disagree about Care. I liked it better than Blanco. It's worth it for the title track and "Disappearing Ink" if nothing else. Also if you want some great guitar driven Bazan, check out his side project Lo Tom.
I have never started a morning by violently jumping around with a coffee in my hand but this video made that happen. Also, re: yellow bike IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE. 💕
I just watched PJ Morton getting for some R&B deliciousness and this was the next suggestion. Completely different genres but I've already added these guys to my phone. They sound so familiar but I've never heard of them. Unreal
I just found out Ben Gibbard played bass for PTL back in 2000. Weird and cool. Glad to see little David back at it under the PTL name :D, though i am a bit late to the party
I love this version of «When they really get to know you...» so much, David's voice has gotten warmer and kinda rustier with age, it sounds so powerful.
David Bazan is such an underrated musician. His writing is on another level
Incredibly underrated. My favorite lyricist of all time. Pedro the Lion and his solo albums are masterpieces.
He is honestly stunningly good.
Stop the friggin "underrated" comments. If he is playing in Tiny Desk he is not underrated. There are tenths of artists better than Bazan who never get this opportunity
@@pocojoyo A tenth is less than one whole, so your statement is accurate. Few are as good as Bazan in any genre.
@@pocojoyo wut
yellow bike: might be the most immediately impactful piece of songwriting i've ever heard. crying within first 30 seconds and didn't stop. i almost never want to listen again so i can always have that.
I felt you bro, not to your level but that heart sore just kicked me and I got lost in it immediately.
tear jerking all of a sudden
now embark on Sun Kil Moon.
Crying??? Woah calm down
Bazan is the best lyricist of my generation, bar none.
Inspired the best songwriter of my generation andy shauf!
Berman
Ben Gibbard is up there
Oberst..especially the new stuff, but I def keep coming back to yellow bike
John K. Samson and Scott Hutchison as well.
There's something so relatable to his music, its like a poetic, musical, wonderful dad joke
Holy hell. It's taken long enough to get this man behind the almighty Tiny Desk. What took you so long, Bob?
All songs considered
Just discovered this guy, absolutely beautiful songwriting.
He's amazing. You should listen to him more.
@Dale Macarena probably bad diary days
I teared up first time I heard "Yellow Bike" in this performance. Deep breath sigh. Tight belly. Love all tiny desks, thank you.
absolutely
Never heard of this band before. But man I'm glad I clicked on this! Thanks NPR, you're on a roll!
I don’t know how he can sing his songs without crying... that Yellow Bike, wow. 😭
Dude, for real, i was playing this in the background and minding my own business when i first listened to this. After a while i was like "holy cow!" because my eyes got blurry due to tears. Magical
@@Fadilanse thanks for replying because now I had the joy of listening to it again
Great to see a bass player in the front man spot, this dude is a dope songwriter, 🐲
Bass players are always the front man spot 😉
@@morioh6505 amen!
Miles Jernigan omg I’ve been watching for a while n never noticed the leads on bass haha. #attentiontodetail
@@HoonAgain I like alot guitar-bass-drums trios because the bass is so hearable (if hearable is a word), normally the real tone gets buried in instruments but in bands like this you can feel the low frequencies and the high ones from the bass, to me it sounds absolutely amazing.
he usually plays guitar, or does keyboards n stuff. dunno why he's doing bass for this show
I know them since a Long Time, i bought a Bandshirt Long ago in the 90s, Hearing this great band is Like Meeting an old friend again, i still can feel it
Clean, simple, refreshing. The kind of music that makes me happy and productive.
W RD hmm. Couldn’t agree more there my dude.
Npr been going stupid hard recently
Tbh npr always blind sides me with some emotions.
?????
Phoenix is a masterpiece. Being someone the EXACT same age as David, and having grown up in Phoenix, I can't get enough of his music.
I'm with you brother! I grew up in the same Phoenix suburbs too and can't believe how well he summed up everything off and still on about Phoenix. He nails it.
I don't know Phoenix well as a city, but spent 6 months in ABQ when I was 10. The golden light on the 7/11 revived memories long forgotten.
oh david, nice to see you around again
Already saw this on the website but I tell you what. These jams are even better at 4am lol
So glad you covered David. I love this and his solo stuff
It’s always great to see Pedro getting some respect
Dude, the yellow bike song. Whoa. That’s some great writing.
revenant235 Dave is a genius.
If you haven't yet, listen to the album that it's off of. "Phoenix"
Barra this is why YT is cool sometimes
Man i'm looking forward to their new album. Discovered Bazan's solo record care when it released last year, and i'm hooked!
Make a video about him, man! It would be great!
That was a great album. I could only find it on soundcloud for a while I think. Heard it a buncha times.

I love that you finally got Mr. Bazan behind the desk. LET'S SEE BROTHER ALI NEXT!!!!
Pedro the Lion is and will always be my favorite group.
This was amazing, I love the last song, beautiful melodies and not stuffed with unnecessary notes.
This is too much.
Yellow Bike hit me hard...I could not stop crying.
The smoothest nostalgia

You and me both, pal.
His lyrics reminds me being in the rural area and observing nature.
Favorite artist hands down.
This is a great little jam! Big fan! Been rocking out to it at work! Good stuff!
Great songwriting! Love these guys. Yellow bike is a masterpiece and creates many memories of my bike. I wasn't yellow.
The vocal tone is beyond
Pedro The Lion, one of most influential bands , regards from Panama!!!
So many artists rip this guy off. He's so underrated
I was mesmerized the whole set. Been listening to them for a while but this is excellence I’ve never seen.
I love Pedro the Lion! Thanks! This is awesome.
Love the variaty in the uploads lately!
wow loved this band, and that last song was awesome !
Can't wait for the new album to come out. It's been a while. 'It's hard to find a friend', 'Winners never quit', 'Control' and 'Achilles Heel' were all awesome!
Phoenix is the best album of 2019.
I've second the motion
This has really grown on me after a few listens.
damn, there's something in his voice that just make heart feel sore and tear jerking out of my eye. oof
The whole thing just hit me, it gave me an odd nostalgic feel, and sad, a happy sad, haha!, but a regular sad too!, its incredible what certain things can make you feel and what certain things can make you feel, and how, and when, and much, if that makes sense.
To whoever reads, thanks, and, have, a day. 🍻
That's why nostalgia is a decease.
Btw,first time watching them and I AM feeling It too
Good day,bro
🎭💯
Test Test nailed it...
Absolutely. This really brings me back to a formative part of my life. Wistful feelings for sure.
Beautiful.
I was gonna leave but the vocals brought me back instantly
I just now found this and I am going to cry 😅😢😭

Thank you
npr has the best bands.
If by NPR you mean KEXP then you're correct.
Another awesome Tiny Desk artist
Yellow Bike tugs at the heart
So f awesome!!!!!
YES! Love Pedro
Wow, I really enjoyed this set. Thanks for providing, NPR! Best public radio group ever. I donated recently, worth every penny.
Rough, contemplative, & smooth. Good performance! :)
Just loved it.
Man, I don't think I've heard Pedro the Lion in like almost 20 years. wow
they weren't called pedro the lion tho
@@repsrepsreps?
Yellow Bike hits me so hard now that I'm teaching my daughter how to ride. Just let go of her seat last week but I hope she sticks around for a while :)
Seriously, can't even begin to say how awesome it is to see Jared Leto playing guitar again.
David Bazan will always hold a special place in my heart even though his synth albums suck. The rest of his songs are absolutely beautiful.
"Blanco" is amazing, and one of my favorite albums of his. "Care", not so much. It's good in spots but feels like a B-sides album.
John Notmylastname well, I have to go listen to his synth albums now 🙄😄 🍻
I respectfully disagree about Care. I liked it better than Blanco. It's worth it for the title track and "Disappearing Ink" if nothing else.
Also if you want some great guitar driven Bazan, check out his side project Lo Tom.
I love PTL more than most musicians, so glad to see him finally performing on Tiny Desk! Kept Secrets gave me chills the entire song.
Wow. That was great
best versions
I love Pedro the Lion!
Unison vocal and guitar at 2:32 really good.
A demonstration that music doesn't need so much paraphernalia to touch our souls.
1000% -- I'm always much more impressed with doing a lot with a little. Everything about this spare setup is killer.
I have never started a morning by violently jumping around with a coffee in my hand but this video made that happen. Also, re: yellow bike IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE. 💕
the whole time.
I'm crying because the "I'm not crying you're crying" thing is beyond played out.
Taylor Maddox Literally I’m not crying but you actually are. Plus 10 points for a millennial “literally” 🤘🏼
Yup, crying.
Great voice mate!
David is the truth. If you've ever met him you know what I'm talking about.
I used to listen to this song while mowing the lawn.
I feel like I’m in high school again ☺️😍
one of the albums im looking forward to in 2019 is pedro's!
Bazan is the only artist to ever make me cry from his music.
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Fuck, I love you, David.
Very nice! Tiny desk concert should get the group that toured with Pedro the lion this summer: H.C. McEntire
❤️ hope I get to see you next time you’re in Toronto ...or please come to London Ontario so I don’t have to go to Toronto xoxo thanks 🙏
Winter vibes ❄️
King Crule next!!!! That guy is amazing
King Krule was on here a year ago!
ruclips.net/video/LL_iUj-mQfg/видео.html
Cole World!!!!
Just get some dreamville up here period lol
Welcome to the future everyone, this is "Pedro The Lion". They've inspired many and will continue to do so with this tiny exposure. 🖖
I just watched PJ Morton getting for some R&B deliciousness and this was the next suggestion.
Completely different genres but I've already added these guys to my phone. They sound so familiar but I've never heard of them. Unreal
Love me some Pedro the lion
I've never been quicker to click a RUclips notification
Pedro The Lion! Whaaaaaaat! Go head with your bad self NPR
I’ve never been this early hope everyone has a good fucking day ❤️
same :)
back at ya man , whoop todays ass!!
Super
👍
Sarcxss V fuck yes thanks you too!!!
This is the best version of Kept Secrets. ah
Jesus. Talk about memories.
Genius ❤
My kingdom for someone to ride with...yes
YO HOW THE HELL DID I NOT FIND THIS EARLIER
My kingdom for someone to ride with.
The lament of an only child.
First song and it instantly reminds me of Randy Newman.
David Bazan (Frontman) has played and recorded a cover of Randy's "Political Science", you should check it out!
goddamn this is good shit
I just found out Ben Gibbard played bass for PTL back in 2000. Weird and cool. Glad to see little David back at it under the PTL name :D, though i am a bit late to the party
This sounds like my never shared music. I have a grand orchestra playing in my head that only I can comprehend.
Fucking Pedro. love Bazan
nostalgia :) get the beths!!!
Holy shit, I haven't listen to these guys since college.
I came here after listening to Dave Matthews and Chance the Rapper, only to discover knew music that has a familiar feel. This is awesome!
I want to marry this band
