I know right; his lyrics are so creative. I saw him play live a year ago and I was an instant fan. I have original music on my channel with a similar acoustic style if you would like to give it a listen; all the support is appreciated.
I watched him and his band live last night. And I was just transported to another realm. His music, lyrics, intense blank gaze. I couldn't help but just cry and cry because i was so moved. Legendary.
I was roaming, thru the vast lost valley of You Tube music, after so long, to find this music, It shall be part of me for the last few years of my life.
I know right; I was so happy to see he was on the small desk series. I saw him play live a year ago and I was an instant fan. I have original music on my channel with a similar acoustic style if you would like to give it a listen; all the support is appreciated.
Worked out The Magician for ya guys :) Standard Tuning Capo on the 2nd fret. - Intro: Cmaj7 - Verse: Am, Em7, G/D, Cmaj7 - Pre-Chorus: G/D, B7, G/D, Cmaj7 (In the second P-C, drop the second G/D the third time around) - Chorus: Cmaj7 (he also shifts around with G/D, B7, and back to Cmaj7). Fiddle around a bit and you'll find the little licks he makes in the Intro and Chorus. Enjoy ;) Cheers!
Outward appearances can be deceiving. Last year he was arrested for shooting a cop's arm off in a botched Cocaine deal. He's actually quite feared in the streets.
The couple times I've hung out with him he was pretty quiet and chill. But around his bandmates in Foxwarren, he's one of the funniest people I've ever met.
During all of "The Magician" he kind of looks like he's been in a chase scene, running from the cops and he's found shelter momentarily, and is trying to blend in with the house band, but is ready to drop the guitar and book it at any moment when the authorities bust in.... also great performance.
I know right, his instrumentation is incredible and creative. I saw him play live a year ago and I was an instant fan. I have original music on my channel with a similar acoustic style if you would like to give it a listen; all the support is appreciated.
It seems like he’s putting all his thought into creating the emotions his characters are conveying in his singing, and not trying to act it out, which just works perfect. This guy is a great poet through his storytelling.
Oh Andy is such a gem. He has such a unique way of putting scenarios together. It's as if I was a ghost overlooking and witnessing the events of the party unfold、or just a background friend or stranger listening to and experiencing all of the banter and loss of love and all. Thank you thank you Andy I will always adore you for being able to accurately capture such emotions as felt in 'The Worst In You' when I was very insecure and with the wrong person in my life.
It appears to be a Rhodes Piano. They're actually electromechanical, not digital synthesizers like modern keyboards. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes_piano
I've become obsessed with Andy Shauf and his band again because of this video. Feeling like I'm right there in the room with this small selection of poignant and pleasant songs. It has helped me in the grief of my lost loved ones. Thank you Andy and NPR!
He is very reminiscent of Elliot Smith, to me. Especially the last song, "Out Wasting Time". The guitar chords are very similar to one of his songs even. I adore Andy.
I think it reminds me most of "Seen how things are hard" by Elliott. And I absolutely have thought Andy sounds like Elliott on many occasions, as well as Iron and Wine, and that's huge for me to say since Elliott smith is my #1 favorite musician of all time.
His music is so beautiful. I saw him play live a year ago and I was an instant fan. I have original music on my channel with a similar acoustic style if you would like to give it a listen; all the support is appreciated.
Just had the privilege of seeing him live in Toronto. Such a magical performance. ❤️ my siblings went to school with him and my dad taught him in high school. I remember hearing about his fledgling career as a kid in small-town Saskatchewan - so happy to see where he is now, and his music is so dear to my heart. His songs are so peaceful but unsettling, so familiar, so thought-provoking.
I know right; I love the small show and the artist. I saw him play live a year ago and I was an instant fan. I have original music on my channel with a similar acoustic style if you would like to give it a listen; all the support is appreciated.
Does it though? I always thought To You was from the perspective of an entirely different person. Quite Like You is from the perspective of the person in love with Sherry, where Jeremy is in the way of that love. In To You, the object of affection is Jeremy, rather than Sherry, so I always took it as another partygoer professing their love.
i always felt that "quite like you" and "begin again" were the better pairing, encompassing the same characters in both songs and taking place one after the other. To You could include some of the characters, mainly Jeremy, but I'm not sure we know who the protagonist making the confession is. I've never through it to be the same from quite like you, but maybe it is, idk.
@@jamesduiven5353 despite the tremendous context between songs, the comments make it clear that stringing together one coherent perspective is almost impossible. and i think thats a super effective way of expressing how a party feels!
These songs are beautiful and raw. But I am SO VERY confused. He sings with a speech impediment. But he does not speak with one. I have NEVER heard anything like that ever. I've heard the opposite many times, but this makes his lyrics, in a bizarre way, seemingly more honest, gentle, sweet and compassionate. The word "meek" comes to mind. I love this so much.
on his reddit AMA he did a while ago he basically said he never really realized he sings weird, and that he did that to hear himself over all the other instruments or somethin.
I know right. I saw him play live a year ago and I was an instant fan. I have original music on my channel with a similar acoustic style if you would like to give it a listen; all the support is appreciated.
Awesome! Andy and his buddy Dallas blew our college town away with their talent - great to see him still killing it! Swing back Caronport way sometime soon!
Heard Andy for the first time here, at NPR, and since then I am hooked to his music. Thanks a lot NPR. You always help me (and other music lovers) find these gems :)

Well, not really. He doesn't write great melodies. Cool style but far removed from a John Lennon or Brian Wilson. Many of these singer songwriters on the indie circuit have style and talent to spare but most if not all of their songs fail extremely short at being melodic.

Andy must have been stoked that him and his band had the opportunity to play even quieter.
😂
Such a good comment 😂
Haha so true, love it
😂😂😂
Made me breathe out both nostrils simultaneously.
Please tiny desk have him back for another! his work was already phenomenal in this recording, and my how it has deepened since then
I would be absolutely AMAZED by a Tiny Desk "Norm"!

To You is so sincere and fragile it literally breaks me inside everytime

not really.
Please bring him back!!! This session is amazing! Brilliant! Andy is a real genius!✨🎶✨
Andy is so sweet, I hope he is happy and well.
So are you. Hope ure happy and well. 💓
Just saw him play him play in California and he really blew me away. I'd say he is doing okay. Much shorter hair.
@@ant3352 I'm going to go see Andy and his band in a couple hours. They're playing at a newly restored theatre about a half mile from my place.
@@ab3000x enjoy my friend. May you carry that memory with you forever lighter than a feather.
I watched him and his band live last night. And I was just transported to another realm. His music, lyrics, intense blank gaze. I couldn't help but just cry and cry because i was so moved. Legendary.
GAH I wish I could hear a Tiny Desk version of his entire discography, This is so exquisite.
riiiiight?!?!
I was roaming, thru the vast lost valley of You Tube music, after so long, to find this music, It shall be part of me for the last few years of my life.
One of the few artists who've been on tiny desk concerts that has such a pure and on-pitch voice in the acoustic. Love Andy Shauf!

Wow thanks!
Iván Monroy wow ima try this on uke for sure!
(Edit) this is such a nice chord progression 👌 so chill
No you didn't that was already worked out on guitar tabs
@@tylerhowell9735 the intro right?
Hanging out with this guy must such a mellow time.

JordanCaiolaMusic damn wish I was that high
Still funny a year later. Kudos.
Would make for a great music video!
@@jahgrizzly agreed
Especially at 1:38
"To You" is absolute perfection.
His voice is so soothing, and his lyrics are so captivating.
The instruments take you to a new earth where everything just feels right.

This is a song one just has to share with their best friend
He's got a really pretty voice.
I love watching how his eyes wander around in patterns as he’s singing. You can almost predict where he’ll look based on what melody he’s singing!
this guy is a deity
Elrond!
I'm getting angel vibes :)

Great Artist!
Yup
This genius is from a small town a few hours away. So inspiring to know that dream chasing is still cool.
cool that he played "youre out wasting", i remember hearing this tune wayyyy back in the day and knowing he was a very special artist

This guy deserves way more attention
how sincere...
He is very reminiscent of Elliot Smith, to me. Especially the last song, "Out Wasting Time". The guitar chords are very similar to one of his songs even. I adore Andy.
yeah, totally hear the Smith influence
I went and checked out some of Elliot's music. LIke what I hear, but sad to read his life was cut short. Thanks for the musical comparison.
Yes! Trying to remember the Smith track it reminds me of... definitely hear some Elliot-esque musical choices in there.
Interesting - I don't hear that at all. I like it non the less!
I think it reminds me most of "Seen how things are hard" by Elliott. And I absolutely have thought Andy sounds like Elliott on many occasions, as well as Iron and Wine, and that's huge for me to say since Elliott smith is my #1 favorite musician of all time.
One of the best singer-songwriting craftsman alive
His voice is unique and entrancing, and his songs are just great. One of my favorite artists. Neon Skyline is a masterpiece.
Woo! Love Andy Shauf.
Andy is pretty hilarious too. Very subtle guy. Excellent concert.
his voice is even more angelic here😊
It is what I call ''love at first sight''.
His music is so beautiful. I saw him play live a year ago and I was an instant fan.

Saw him preform The Party freshly after a break up in 2016, one of the most emotional shows I've ever been too. His lyrics helped me heal a lot.
This performance is magic. I feel like I could swim in his music.
Good grief! One of my favorite albums in the past 5 years at least. Brilliant mix of story telling and 70's vibes all over the place.
looks like whenever aundy is singing he's looking for something... his eyes gives me goosebumps
Sounds kind warm and full of love... . Just what we all need in the world we are living in today
And yesterday, and way before that ...
2021 has entered the chat... totally agree

If you listen "Quite Like You" from the "The Party" album, it contextualizes "To You".

@@jamesduiven5353 agree. Begin Again feels like it happens right after Jeremy comes over and Sherry leaves with him....again.
"To You" is a classic song. From the lyrics, melody, dynamics and arrangement. Total package.
I love "To you" so much. Such a relatable mellow song.
Surely the best singersongwriter of our generation, such beautiful songs
I come back to this set year after year, and am captivated all over again.
Really dig this! We grew up in the same small town of 800 people....small world indeed.
Andrew Chevrier it's hard not to overlap
A city the size of a dinner plate as it were.
🇨🇦
Me too!
can't imagine my life without Andy, love him
Please never stop making music, ever.
I keep coming back to this 💓
Super pumped to see him at the Winnipeg folk festival this summer
These songs are beautiful and raw. But I am SO VERY confused. He sings with a speech impediment. But he does not speak with one. I have NEVER heard anything like that ever. I've heard the opposite many times, but this makes his lyrics, in a bizarre way, seemingly more honest, gentle, sweet and compassionate. The word "meek" comes to mind. I love this so much.
I think it's more of a Saskatchewan accent.

bring him back y'all!! bring him backk
I am back a year later and am still infatuated with this artist. Simply magnificent.
this guy should be more famous? songs nd style is amazing, reminds me of the Beatles, think it's the transitions song structure? anyone else agree?
Yeah , really
sure, although being famous isnt the destination, the present ~
Has to be the viola bass, really distinct sound
Its not about the music anymore mate
The structure is exquisite 👌🏾
So beautiful. My favorite Tiny Desk performance in awhile.
that sound like the 70's, great musician
He's beautiful
When the song is so beautiful you start to cry a little
Andy is cool and all,... but how about a shout out for those backing musicians.
Wm Hawthorne II yeah, they did an amazing job.
They certainly did a fantastic job performing their parts, yet Andy wrote and performed every one of them (save the strings) for the album.
check out one of the drummer’s other bands called fet.nat for a good time
that's the drummer for timber timbre as well
Shout out!
oh my his voice is so soothing and mesmerising live, he could easily lull me to sleep
Going on day 3 of listening to this. Absolutely stunning.
I love his music so much, it's so peaceful! He's just the best!!
I love his darting eyes and the peculiar way that his words are pronounced
I wish there’d be a clarinet player with them. It’s so great ❤
It’s so cool that his albums tell stories!! His new album is about a bar and it’s perfect
I can't find any other words than "amazing"!
Amazing - and never blinks 😋
you're so right
i'm scared

always come back to this video. andy & the band are too magical
One of the few videos that make me grateful for the 'loop' option
All of them are such fine musicians, and this Hofner bass player, so groovy !
By far, the most talented of the Hanson brothers
His music is some of the only to bring me to tears can’t wait to see live on the 14th
I really love the way that Waterloo sounds with the band and Andy's voice. Great performance. Love this dude.
Love it! I'm glad I stumbled onto Andy Shauf's music.
