RUclips Algorithm, why did you wait more than 6 1/2 years to tell me about this amazing band/orchestra?! Have i not fed you massive amounts of personal information?!
It’s a shame they don’t make music anymore. The girl that screams on the table is in a band called Hikes. They play with dynamics similar to this performance
@@robertwill5455 haha I don’t even remember posting this. I’m glad you enjoy them. I also found out a couple of months ago she does a solo project called Claire Glass. There’s no screaming, head banging vibes but it’s beautiful music nonetheless.
I don't even know how to get 5 adults to get along for 12 minutes in a productive work conversation; I can't even begin to imagine how this kind of band works together.
Mitchel Harmon “The morning light was blocked by dusty dirty blinds and I can hear your vodka kisses shouting fight fight FIGHT FIGHT” (it took me 20 times listening to it to understand her lol)
My band conductor committed suicide shortly after I left high school. He taught me in 5th grade, 9th through 12th and is a huge reason why I still have my horn today. This put me in tears, I remember that feeling he taught us of totally being in sync with those you are playing with. I see it in every one of these musicians, it is so beautiful.
@@NorcVI it's sitting in my basement, waiting for the next of kin! I'm onto my guitar now mostly, but it's there if I ever want to break it back out. Thanks for asking
I'm 7 years late. Can you imagine discovering this band in 2021? Pure joy. I don't even known if they still make music. But God I need more of this and will probable binge watch more of their videos.
They set the bar pretty high by being an open-score ensemble composing and performing their music on stages acrossed the country. What's your groups name? I love this kind of music so I'm thrilled to find new bands.
Pedro I don't particularly care about or enjoy this music but Id still bet my left nut that these people feel pretty good about their lives and you're sad/angry all the time. or you just should be. I hope calling other people faggots makes you feel powerful for a second or two. jackass.
+Colin Folco lol wtf? no.. I wish because the quality of music would rise.. even highly skilled musicians still have trouble taking dynamics into consideration sometimes
Saw these guys in Northampton a few months back, they're all such nice people. They were even nice enough to let me take a group photo with ALL of them!
My husband was playing his acoustic at river and they were there just being humble saying “yeah we play music too” lol he found them and was WTH!!! they were so humble and wonderful people
honestly, this band is amazing. i just found them, but Dirty Summer at the end seriously gave me goosebumps, and the way the girl stands on the chair and belts out singing with the rest of them is honestly one of the most punk things I've seen.
I come back to watch/listen to this npr concert at least 2-3x a week, I can't even describe how much I love it or how it makes me feel and makes me cry 70% of the time. tonight is a crying night.
Why am I just seeing this in 2020??.. This is the "Art of Music" at its finest!. Incredible if you appreciate music diversity!.. Its like a whole different Genre.. I Mean Wow!.. Beautiful!..
I'm here to give an award to someone who went to school with most of mother falcon, just to spite some jackass who seems like a miserable person. Is there anyone here who would be deserving of something like that?
was looking for mother mother content and stumbled across this masterpiece. sad that i’m 7 YEARS LATE, but i don’t regret watching this at all. absolutely stunning.
6 years late but they are the ideal show to watch during the Covid quarantine. May we soon can gather to listen an awesome Orchestra like Mother Falcon
Verse 1] Bury the marigold underneath the bedroom And you stole two kisses from her lips Tears were shed and morals bled And petals were plucked Something in the heart beat like a drum [Chorus] Is this love? I don't know But tonight I'm gonna find out Is this love? I don't know But tonight I'm gonna find out [Verse 2] We kissed without hesitation, no reservations We dangle our feet from the highest places In the crowd of the sad in the crowd of the mad We are the only smiling faces [Verse 3] Every day and all night 'Til the morning dawn's bright I don't want to see you go And every day and all night Even when you're alright I don't want to let you go
Is it just me or are these some of the most talented and amazing people of today's world. And guys the vocals are top notch. They add a natural feel to the music along with the string instruments. Good job on making awesome music
@@satrioekowicaksono7452 ah geez... I love 2cellos and their music is great, but watching them play makes me feel the same way as movies that have a scene where an instrument is being smashed make me feel
This was awesome. Love the high energy, with all those different instruments. For a band I never knew about until watching this, I think they are better/ and certainly more entertaining than some of the better known musicians I've seen on Tiny Desk. I'm a new fan of Mother Falcon after this.
I continue to love and admire this group of people so much. I hope I find a group of friends to play music like this one day Edit: 2 years and the love is still growing guys. I hope yall are all doing amazingly. Music is sustenance.
The high I get from watching this over and over is like nothing else I've ever experienced. Thank you Mother Falcon and NPR tiny desk. My spine still tingles 🥰
I clicked on this video bc of the thumbnail of a girl standing on a desk and screaming while surrounded by a mini orchestra, the vid didn’t disappoint
Same here
Same here
Same. Loved it. Found a new great band

I trust npr with music entirely, I don't have to know a band to click on one of these videos anymore. They're all good. Always.
Right?! Npr is my musical taste. They just know.

Except for taylor swift...
Have you listened to "Chai" yet? :-D
True, too true

You found this when you needed to. RUclips loves you!!
You also never looked up the hot singles in your area that the Algorithms were sending you. It is sending you stuff you just need to click.
No take. Only give.
Same!
They were saving it for later. That way they get you hooked for ever! >:]
10yrs on and just like a fine vintage this performance just keeps getting better with age 🪄
It’s a shame they don’t make music anymore. The girl that screams on the table is in a band called Hikes. They play with dynamics similar to this performance

Musicians are a different breed
The solution is in the last song. Too bad that won't work in the workplace.

Exactly
This is why music is awesome
I feel like the weird hero in my own indie film.
Omg I felt that
Didn't we all weird kids do the same a t some point?
When your band has a bassoonist you're doing something right
Facts
Sweet bassoon line there too, none too easy I can attest.
Good thing RUclips is abiding by the social distancing rule and keeping recommendations 6 years apart.
Lol
This cracked me up. Cheers
SILLY 😀😀😀
Man you're the one who's late to the party 😂. Still glad you arrived to see this masterpiece.
🤭
That "dusty dirty blind... fight fight fight" part is perfection. I could just listen that 20 seconds over and over again.
everyday and all night
Mitchel Harmon “The morning light was blocked by dusty dirty blinds and I can hear your vodka kisses shouting fight fight FIGHT FIGHT” (it took me 20 times listening to it to understand her lol)
Jajajjaa me to
That's exactly what I've been doing. I'm addicted
Makes me start crying every time
The thumbnail made me hope that this was a band with a woman standing on a desk screaming like a falcon the whole time.
Nattwenny hahahahhaa
Almost. Almost.
Lol
You won 2021 with this comment from 1 year ago. Congrats
They are pretty much a punk orchestra and I love it.

Their music is on Spotify and other platforms if you're interested!
I live in Austin and JUST found this.....better late than never!
If only there was a place where you could look them up to see if they're still making music
They still play around Austin when it's not covid, but not always the full 17
@@juliebraden6911 Google their name; see what happens.
LOVE watching all the musicians "cramped" together. It's such an amazing visual.
It is really cool
Yeah I thought they could have musical sardines in the title.

Sshhhh just listen
0:03 Marigold
3:21 Marfa
8:29 Dirty Summer
Thanks for that I didnt need that, the video separates it for me to see already
Thanks skips straight to the songs . Appreciate it ❤
In my top-five Tiny Desk Concerts
The passion is nearly tangible
Rebecca Campbell could you list your other favorites? I had never heard of these guys and gals until this was released. I love their style!
I love The shot of the girl with the glasses screaming with the last "fight"
goosebumps..
2:05 for reference
Read this right at that part in the song.
Ugh me too! And I love her cute little witch boot poking out from under her cello, tapping along!
When you really wanted to be in a metal band but your moms made you learn classical instruments instead.
😂😂
This a mix of classical, funk, jazz and pop. I don't see you on NPR, nor do I see ANYBODY at your "live shows" ...
@@MegaChefdan You're so edgy. 🤣🤣🤣
Man the instrumental bits on Marfa are seriously gorgeous
Marfa makes me tear up every time I hear it.

Like I Is yup
I don't think I've ever seen such a performance where I fell in love with every single artist up there in less than 15 minutes.
“No pressure, but I did bring you pastries”
Me when I need to ask my friends and family for a big favor.
This is from 2013??? How am I so late to this?!
I know right?
Imagine me in 2019
Relatable.
And me...
Your more hip to it than me. I just found it in 2020
The way the female singer goes from soft to screaming baffles me and gives me goosebumps!!
this band and arcade fire should have a gang war
Yes, the gang names would be the Acoustics vs. the Electros!
jimminy cricket boo 😕
*snap snap*
I’d rather see them team up to fight evil
They put arcade fire to shame
I was today years old when I found out about Mother Falcon.
Congrats 🎉
count me in. Atleast we got to know it
Yea same lol
Now me too
yo this day was great
Man this band must have been such a hard challenge to handle for the sound engineer, big up to you!
They use dynamics incredibly well
+Colin Folco isn't that like someone saying wow Jimmy Hendrix is good at the guitar and u saying "you do realize many people are good at guitar"?

social justice warriors should listen to this instead of WAP...
There's no musical diversity here, it's totally standard indie-pop, just performed on classical instruments. Wow, so innovative.
This is like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros minus the drugs.
I dunno, the lead singer guy sounded very high.
Both the lead singers there are pretty deep into a trip...
buajajajaja
Not so sure about the drugs...
they def are not free of drugs 😂
God I love finding bands like this when I'm having a bad bad pain day. Thank you NPR!
Like CBD oil for the ears!
Hope your pain goes away my friend. Take it easy scamp.
LOVE NPR
This is the kind of interaction that allows me to read comments. If it wasn't for stuff like this, I wouldn't bother.
Robert McNeil straight up
Currently heart's a mess but through this, spirit's been lifted. I may be years late yet am still thankful I found this in this lifetime.
I’m in love especially with the violinist sitting on the desk in her little velvet dress she’s such an artsy beatnik vibe
still listening to this
For some reason these guys had dropped off my rotation for a time. I'm glad they popped back into it today. They're great.
Just added them to my own rotation. ^.^
*Goes and listens to more Mother Falcon immediately*
Can't believe I've only just stumbled across this.
Ditto
I love how Nick's just in a constant state of shock at where he is...
When Emo music deals with its problems and grows up properly. Marigold is my new hot track even though it’s 7 years old lol.
God i was looking for this comment so much
i went to highschool with most of these guys and some I even went to elementary school with :D
Ok. Do you want an award?
I just enjoy seeing my old classmates doing amazing things, that didn't call for a rude comment. leave it alone
cock @@MrBoxofplastic

how in the hell do these guys tour?! they're like a small militia. do they have a convoy of schoolbuses?
hahaha! True that!
Dang they're nothing like my orchestra, band, and choir going on a tour of schools... it takes so much time to get everything settled lmao
ekimusman2 if you can move a triple a band across the country I 4 school busses, you can move this "small militia" in one tour bus
TGMinnieeMee hi
I think it's actually just like two vans
I wonder if anyone has ever caught a bow to the eye when they're that close together...
Does anyone else listen to this five times a day everyday ?
This is like Godspeed You Black Emperor for people who doesn’t like Godspeed You Black Emperor and are happy.
I also thought about them hahah. It's like GYBE meets Arcade Fire.
i am deceased.
I love it when she goes all "Captain, my captain." at the end.
*Why I only discover this band now???*
*I'm already in love with them*

Im saying the same thing.. In 2020!..I Love It!...
6 years late but they are the ideal show to watch during the Covid quarantine. May we soon can gather to listen an awesome Orchestra like Mother Falcon
Loved Marfa. The cello was so sensuous. Wind section for the 3rd song was so fun to listen to.
I am absolutely blown back and overtaken with sheer amount of passion bursting from my phone! Mother Falcon is beautiful and inspiring!
All they need now is a trombone, the mix of melodic beauty and raunchy funk that instrument brings would fit their dynamic well
9 years later and this is still an absolute amazing jam!
How does one even form a band like this, they’re all so beautiful
This is astounding and amazing. It calls for a mosh pit except it's a whirlwind of good vibes.
No joke this band makes me feel like I could overthrow the government with a future cottagecore wife and I have never experienced such a VIBE before
thats a good vibe
it's the best aesthetic, my mind can't be changed
Well, ironically...
😐. Just kidding.
Just in case y’all ever wondered what Austin feels like during summer break - this is it. Like magic. Nice kids too.
I feel inspired to practice my violin every time I hear this
Each member has a different reason why they are here and you can see it in all their faces when they play. Brilliant!
The sheer amount of energy in this thumbnail scares me
Thank you, Sound Engineer Kevin Wait. The sound is AMAZING…each instrument…wow…AMAZING!
Verse 1]
Bury the marigold underneath the bedroom
And you stole two kisses from her lips
Tears were shed and morals bled
And petals were plucked
Something in the heart beat like a drum
[Chorus]
Is this love? I don't know
But tonight I'm gonna find out
Is this love? I don't know
But tonight I'm gonna find out
[Verse 2]
We kissed without hesitation, no reservations
We dangle our feet from the highest places
In the crowd of the sad in the crowd of the mad
We are the only smiling faces
[Verse 3]
Every day and all night
'Til the morning dawn's bright
I don't want to see you go
And every day and all night
Even when you're alright
I don't want to let you go
I love the part when the word "fight" quickly rises in volume. Gives me chills every time
Is it just me or are these some of the most talented and amazing people of today's world. And guys the vocals are top notch. They add a natural feel to the music along with the string instruments. Good job on making awesome music
I really hope all of these people are really good friends. That's the image I'm getting from their music...love it

Just found out about them, and I fell in love There's so much burning passion, but it's pure and humble. It's contagious.
Mother Falcon at NPR has to be my favorite! They're so amazing. Their music is like super surreal.
amazing music, but as a cello player, it hurts me to see his bow..
Kryštof Cejp riiiight. Like totally destroyed yet he played so cleanly with all 5 hairs on there
I don't even play cello and it hurts

It's 2020 and I just found this... And I'm so happy at my lateness to the party. That was amazing. Thank you.
Can we all collectively agree that 8:20 is like the most adorable thing in this whole video?

The transition at about 5:53, wow. Amazing!
Shivers. Was not expecting that.
yeah! alway give me chills
there isnt really any transition, just more people play. theres no key change or tempo change
I think I just fell in love
I think I've watched this 10 times in the last week and am really sad I probably won't ever see them live :(
This is awesome. I am going to watch it several times today to burn it into my consciousness.
This is the best channel I've found out in a long time
I continue to love and admire this group of people so much. I hope I find a group of friends to play music like this one day
Edit: 2 years and the love is still growing guys. I hope yall are all doing amazingly. Music is sustenance.
the ending of Marfa?!?! WOW?!
I expected their instruments would catch fire during this performance. Very inspirational.
Someone in 2021?
Gave me so much chills , this is my favourite tiny desk yet, just loved their performance.
The high I get from watching this over and over is like nothing else I've ever experienced. Thank you Mother Falcon and NPR tiny desk. My spine still tingles 🥰
Let all of us celebration the triumphs of music experience.
I have seen them live on several occasions. I would not change anything about their vocal style.
Wow that second song had me in tears...!
Just from the sound and pure pleasure on each person's face performing 😭😍😭
Marfa. Wow. Layers upon layers. So lush.
