Hayley Williams: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Dec. 9, 2020 | Lars Gotrich -- "I've never done this without Paramore," Hayley Williams announces during her Tiny Desk (home) concert. For the first time in months, she's joined by a band, including friends and Tiny Desk alumnae Julien Baker and Becca Mancari. And from the moment the camera pans out of a literal tiny desk diorama, a jolt of energy leaps from Williams.
Petals for Armor is a soul-cleansing exhale from years of holding her breath. Originally released in a series of EPs, her solo debut sings through heartache in a tangle of triumph and hard-earned wisdom. It's a pop album that knows sadness can simmer, but also shout over an ever-shifting sonic palette. During the pandemic and protests, Williams has played these songs from her couch with muted restraint, and self-serenaded with acoustic covers - sad songs really can be sympathetic companions during dark days.
But in her home, surrounded by blank canvases, Williams and friends splash a bottled-up energy. The joy is infectious, as "Pure Love" bursts from first bloom, "Taken" shows off Baker's jazzy-funk licks and Williams leans into the "Dead Horse" kiss-off with gleeful abandon.

Did she just say "you f*cked around with everyone in town" ??!!
HAYLEY OMG
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE EXACT SAME THING THE SHADE I LOVE IT
IM SCREAMINF!!!!
She actually said 'one' and not 'girl'. So that includes boys too 🤣
Wish that was in the album version hahaha
@@mylesdlm still good as heck though!
the fucker's roasted!
Hayley Williams: the only woman to wear her own band merch in content about her solo album.
Hayley Williams aka Paramore’s biggest fan.
She is the biggest paramore fan!!!!
@@leticiaschmitt1266 If by "Paramore" you mean herself, then yeah. She kicked everyone else out of the band. Paramore is just her solo now.
@@kenfresno2125 You clearly don't know much about the band... actually the most active member is Taylor York. After Laughter only happened because of him.
You shouldn't give statements about things you don't know 😂😂
@@leticiaschmitt1266 She has kicked 5 members out of the band. 1 out of 6 is bad.
@@kenfresno2125 5? Ahahhahaha 3 left, bro and one came back to the band...
Another left bc of his religion (he said it himself) and the other one fighter with Hayley AND taylor.
Idk why you said it 5... Why are you making up stuff? 😂😂
The more you comment, more we know that you know nothing about the band.
the absolute energy of julien baker simply vibing out on a shelf
I came here for julien, was not disappointed.
This woman is incredibly underrated. In my opinion she is one of the most talented female vocalists of our lifetime. Her range, tone and intensity is made up of pure perfection. I have loved her since 2007.
I think she is the best. Hands down.
🥲
100% agree
She’s definitely incredibly talented, and doesn’t have to be called a female vocalist, but a talented vocalist. But if we stick to the topic of female, she’s def up there with Evanescence and Chelsea Wolfe!
She is , but it's lowkey by choice. She's had so many people request her to be their chorus but she says no because she just loves Paramore. I think that makes hayley so much better
I know she's been popular for over a decade but she's hella underrated.
Fr
@@lemniscatefortunecanfinall2707 lol ok have a nice day.
I think she’s rated right where she should be
All the rated celebrities or actresses or actors or even singers, sooner or later would be underrated. I bet that will happen.
@@lemniscatefortunecanfinall2707 He's right, she is underrated. You said it yourself.
Julien Baker just chilling in the back, being an absolute hero.
That whole first song I’m sitting here, “Why does that guitarist look exactly like Julien Baker?” Turns out the explanation was simple.
came here to comment this, but you have beat me to it and i accept that defeat
just casually introduces Julien Baker... yes! wasn't expecting that
Hello, I came back just to say thank you for introducing me to Julien Baker
Ditto all the above, except I didn't know she was that great a player. Way understated, but she held up a significant portion of every tune here.
How is Julien Baker just kickin it in the back ground! Hayley, with this group, is everything.
Hayley and Julien in the same room is gold.
hayley williams AND julien baker. at the same tiny desk performance. is this heaven?
If ever Julien joins her concert I hope Juliens shreds her guitar! ⚡🎸😎
... and Becca. :)
Becca is in a group with Brittany Howard, and towards the end Hayley is playing a guitar created by Annie Clark, which i believe was a gift to her :) i love the community of musicians
Oh I didn't even notice her until you said that! She's there in the back! :O
@@stevem4729 Gotta say, Hayley’s guitar doesn't look like the St. Vincent signature. it's close, but it's not the same model.
She knows we can’t handle Crytsal Clear yet
i'm definitely not ready for this moment
My favorite song from the album!
but she knew what she was doin' starting off w/ pure love...
AYE 😂
Just what I was thinking
Everyone always compliments her voice, can we just take a second to appreciate that she's been writing consistently great music for the better part of two decades now? and she is just never stuck, she'll explore different genres and styles and keep coming up with great music out of those experiments.
her solo albums writing is fairly lack luster, they're not exactly memorable albums. She's a great wrist though.
Absolutely!!!
2024 here, and I'm still vibing with them. Who else?
Just got here
@@joshmtz09same! This slaps
This version of Dead Horse is a whole f*cking serve! OMG THE ADDED LYRICS! YES HAYLEY YES!
couldn't quite make out what they were! help anyone? 😭😜
@@justathumb I couldn't make out the first part but the last line was "well, you f*ck around with everyone in town, yeah"
@@justathumb not sure but it sounded like something something while you're f*cking around with everyone in town ☠️
Ι love the fact that she sings like she's in her living room with friends, randomly jamming, having fun, without the studio vocals and the concert concept, not even caring if she will sound alright, just jamming..
This is actually the attic bedroom that’s in her house, I think! I see it on her Instagram stories sometimes :)
@@BrianAddison94 LOL
Yeah man! It’s sooo good! Though have to say...She doesn’t need to care ‘if’ she’ll sound alright. she knows she’ll sound more than alright! I get what ya mean though.. there’s such a care-free fun vibe to this. Love how they’re all just grooving in their zone.
💯 💯
Iphigenia Stefanou it’s a concert.
Every time I hear and see Haley I can’t help but crush over her. What a gem she is
same. Super talented, beautiful, charming....wow
i actually couldn't imagine a better presentation of these songs because this is exactly how i feel like everyone enjoys this album.chillin in comfys, bopping and dancing around their house, actually feeling the lyrics and not just singing
YES
Couldn’t have put it better- it’s the fact they are all so obviously immersed in their music, and connecting with one another through the medium of sound.
The roasting at c*ad at the end of Dead Horse is what I live for
The friendship between Julien Baker and Hayley Williams makes the punk emo teenager inside of me cry happy tears
And phoebe Bridgers who isn't included but I just wanted to express my love for all of these women.
I just need boygenius and Hayley to do another collab. At this rate can we just have a whole record
i love lucy
👏👏
IMO, this is Hayleys best look. The vibe, the hair, it just works
Heavily agree.
Hayley Williams is my hero. I love the improvisation in Dead Horse, she really told him! Haha. And can we just appreciate the fact that this woman consistently sounds better live than her records? It's an amazing quality. Her and Paramore have been the soundtrack of my life and I will be forever grateful!
Hayley singing "B*tch" in Dead Horse was everything xD
alf’s little head just popping into frame... he’s such a good boy
He's so proud of his momma 🥺❤️
@@jessicavarias7280 y6u677777u6
I was like "Is that a golden doodle or a tech guy with hair like comedian Josh Widdicombe?"
omg when
@@VeroBarriosFan 6:33
That "Dead Horse" Outro really is killing me. ICONIC.
How solid Joey Howard on the bass, such an awesome musician
Her vocals her dancing HER ENERGY she’s so contagious, what a way to start the day watching this... i love her
all that matters is the music....started strong ended disappointing.
Same! Gmornin 🦭
Same feeling! Hayley is Awesome!
me too
@@Vivis_Vision good morning!
I go back and listen to the Paramore Tiny Desk so often that this is like an early Christmas present
You back to it so often?? It was released today. What do you mean? Lol.
@@Marieparawho I think he's talking about Paramore's tiny desk performance from 2017.
@@jiggermore88 Oh OK that makes sense. I was so confused.
Same
me too
*she's a great singer, she should start a band*
😂😂
Love that lol
haha love this
I don't see them going that far. They'll probably only care about her and not the rest of the great musicians in the band 😜
:D
That bass players tone is outta this world
Even in that tiny space she wants to dance... What a queen
0:06 - *Pure Love* (3:15)
3:48 - *Taken* (6:34)
6:58 - *Dead Horse*
Thanks for this! Was looking everywhere couldn’t see it
Get this up, people.
Would have loved to hear Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris tiny desk version. This was such a treat 🖤🫶🏾 So thankful to Paramore and Hayley. Y’all have gotten me through A LOT
I just want to take a moment to appreciate this band backing her. That bass player is KILLIN IT!!
Whats the name of the bassplayer?
@@Deejaysvarmorsdrommen The bassist is Joey Howard. Hayley introduced them all at 3:35.
@@shay8502 Thanks alot!
@@Deejaysvarmorsdrommen welcome :D
Hes also their touring bassist!
*Julien Baker thinking of yet another way to get on NPR Tiny Desk* They'll never suspect me inside the Hayley Williams solo project
Im dead HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I thought thta was her!
Love how chill she is just hiding in the background low key.
@@bruinphotography we just have to love her :3
Who's that? I'm sorry I'm dumb
Wearing her "hard times" sweatshirt cause Paramore runs through her blood❤️❤️❤️
I love these people
All of them
The lyrics to pure love is genius it’s like a therapist wrote it… lyrically, vocally amazing and so underrated
Haven't seen Hayley in a decade. Love how she's embraced her maturity. Beautiful on all fronts.
Hayley being literal with tiny desk....
When you saw Julien Baker played some groovy music alongside Hayley and Joey Howard, it’d be a mind blowing performance
Wish she'd do some shredding if ever in a concert/live again
It’s so crazy to think how lucky we are to be living in the same time as Hayley Williams!!
Wow her voice is so different now not just the age but the entire way she uses her voice, placement, breath, compression etc. Very cool transition
I love how this ACTUALLY feels like they’re at home and like the pajama it’s just cozy
I’m pretty sure this is at Hayley’s house, isn’t it?
@@rafaelaela9590 yup! In fact it’s in her room
@@rafaelaela9590 Omg... this was on her insta story like a week ago....
QUEEN OF MY LIFE
The Hard Times sweatshirt thooooo
I need one
I’m literally trying to figure out where to buy one
Drew Tuaaaaaa💜 me alegra encontrarte aquí
The hoodie is in their online store (store.paramore.net) it says hard times 2020 on it
@@M0M... why did you reply instead of making your own comment??
This woman is ridiculously talented.
That pause and start at 5:55 is just perfect! Hayley is amazing! Great band! Awesome sound!
Julien just straight up CHILLIN
Hayley crouched over a tiny piano singing now lives in my head rent free
same
How the lady in the piano keeps staring straight at Hayley the entire time like mesmerized, I would 2!! The stage is too small for the huge presence Hayley has she is such a rock starrrrrrrr
In love with hayley 😍
Same

(×3)
I felt this way for 15 years or more my friend
Can we take a minute to appreciate how Becca Mancari caught the mic and balanced it on their arm whilst playing tambourine at 09:31. 10/10 styled their way out of it x
That was great!
it was her professionalism for me.
I was wondering why she had her elbow up like that. I didn't see the mic fall. Makes sense though.
That's called being a professional. Something always goes awry while playing live. Professionals adapt and do it smooth enough where most of the audience doesn't even notice.
Now thats what i call a pro -gamer- singer move, that's a nice clutch though, the show must go on
hayley williams will never not be the coolest woman alive
Fax
true
😂 amen!
Sis has so much soul in her voice 🥰
Hayley Williams brings the funk?! This is beyond what words can describe. I’m not a fan of Paramore, but this is incredible.
I agree. Not a huge Paramore fan, but this album in unbelievable.
Whenever i see Hayley perform I always says she has phenomenal stage presence. Even on a virtual screen you can see how passionate she is for the music. Oh man, she is unbeatable.
the way Hayley saved me throughout my teenage years as well as now as an adult is pure gold
She is the reason I fell in love with Paramore and got me thru heartbreak and love all at the same time.
Petals for Armor and Flowers for Vases are amazing albums all the way through. I was never a fan of Paramore until After Laughter, but her self titled albums are my favorite. Can't wait to hear what she does with Paramore after this if they ever make another album.
Boy don’t I got news for you, 23rd is gonna be the first song in like 5 years from Paramore
New Paramore album coming on February 10th 2023!
So how do you like the new album?😂
Well, here we are, after 1 month of the "This is Why" album release. Favourite song? 10/? (My fav. is Figure 8 and 9/10 for sure)
Her dragging her ex is a mood
I mean he cheated on her soo
Well-deserved. Cheated on her multiple times.
She needs to get over it she’s being toxic
@@daveclark3829 girl...
@@daveclark3829 ok chad
Julien Baker always did say she just wanted to be in the back jammin' on the guitar in a band...
She has matured so much. And we've all got to witness it in real time.
When they all stop playing in Taken I laughed a lot, I've always dreamed with going to a Paramore concert since I was a teenager, now I really wanna see Hayley like with her solo projects
She's been the best frontwoman in rock music for going on 15 years at this point. What a great record and performance.
She’s not even rock and that’s an insult to all the other woman in rock who are significantly better than her
@@Ashley-km4qi lol. enjoy your gatekeeping
@@Ashley-km4qi
yeah ok whatever you say lol
@@Ashley-km4qi Have you listened to any of Paramore’s earlier stuff?
@@Ashley-km4qi she's been the front cover of "women of rock" playlist on spotify for years lol. and she's still on the cover right now
seeing hayley dance like she was performing an AL song made me so emotional ...
1 year already, i remember listening to this as soon as it came up
havent listened to her in years. didnt know she became so funky. I can dig it.
Petals for armor was the best thing about 2020 🌷🌺🌹🌼🌻🏵️💮🌸
While singing Taken she looked so much like the 2009 Hayley, omg the nostalgia
Literally came here to say the same exact thing 😭 fall BNE tour vibe is real
IKR
I just wrote a comment about the same thing😅
ahhh she's kinda not control her self haha
I honestly just love how they each look so happy playing together and having fun. Such an amazing group.
This is proof how little it takes to make good music. A front man/woman who loves the stage, a drummer who can keep his cool and a few support instruments to make it all shine so brightly. Great band!
Cheer for the bassists
Hayley's Dog just straight up chillin.
Alf special appearance. That fur of his added a little zing to it! :)
is it chads dog before but now alf is belongs to hayley right?
i missed Alf!!! lol
@@Luluskiv they adopted alf when they were together! in the beginning of the divorce he would stay at both hayleys and chads houses, mostly hayleys. i don't know what happened but in the past years alf has lived only with hayley, i guess chad stopped picking him up after he got married again 🤷♀️
@@fabianabarcellos2122 i dont understand this situation too, but as you said i only see alf with hayley too, but i really happy alf is not chads dog, hayley and alf together looks so cute
I got the chance to see Paramore live in 2017, and Hayley was freaking great onstage. Cant wait for live shows again
Came back 3 years later to reminisce on the Queen, this lovely group she put together, and the absolute vibe that is Julien Baker
Dead horse, what a masterpiece omg
Yupppp
The rare Tiny Desk (Home) Concert that actually feels like a tiny desk concert. Thankful for this one. Please stop accepting ones that are over-produced.
YES
I keep coming back to watch this preformance. Love it 🙌🏽 ❤️ 🎶
I'm digging this new self-love, Hayley. She seems like she's living her best life and has found so much peace within herself. Her solo albums are amazing. 10/10
This makes me even more sad that the tour got cancelled
Manifestinggggg a resched for the whole tourrrr!! 🔥❤️
@@petals4jk next year, same dates, everyone vaccinated and without a lunatic ruling the country? yaaas
hehe she has too much stage presence to fit in that tiny room
Her tiny body looks at home in there but everything else don't fit
@@myralee1760 pretty sure that´s her bedroom, if not at least it is a room in her own home
she has too much stage presence to fit in my life bruh
@@nternetrat lol, enjoy
Ohhh man I can't believe this is the first time I'm seeing this. These songs, Hayley's voice, the band all just come together to make something so sonically delicious
I was searching for NPR Tiny Desk Paramore and was suggested for this. So I got 2 Tiny Desk by Hayley William, I am so glad of this. Wish there is more. Since Petals for Armors Hayley has another album and Paramore has a new Album. I think it's time to invite them again, I am ecstatic they choose to sing Dead Horse, I wish Hayley blurted out the "Alright, it took me three days to send you this, but uh, sorry, I was in a depression but I'm trying to come out of it now". I am too used to listening this whenever Dead Horse begins.
i forgot how contagious her energy is. god i love her
hayley knew that ending of dead horse would’ve been too powerful to put on the studio version but JESUS CHRIST
what did she said at the end of it?
@@elemiecabrera3793 I didn't hear the first part, but she ended with "Well you f-ed around with everyone in town, yeah." She also threw the B word in the middle of the song. It sounds so satisfying.
@@SanaSamaha I wanna know what she said. I can’t make it out 😭
hmm i’m pretty sure it’s “I stuck around, and held you down, while you f’d around with everyone in town”
@@artbyflorina THANK YOUUU
I am to the point now that I have listened to this version of Dead Horse so much more than the album version. Listening to PFA this morning I noticed how much slower the tempo is on record. I love them both, but seeing Hayley so immersed in that song and the lyrics in this version with this band is just stellar.
Honestly, every single one of her live performances is emotional healing for me .... Love her
Petals for Armor is literally the best thing to happen in 2020
Hayleys singing while playing instruments and dancing, but still maintained it very well...gurl!!! How?!?
Shes does it so good too
You should see some of Paramore's concerts. She's a little fireball on stage but maintains her vocals so well
Slowly falling in love with this record. Will def go see the tour.
Her voice is just sooooooo 😍
We Stan Julien Baker in my house.
But also, that bass player is an absolute monster.
We Stan Hayley Williams in my house.
Joey Howard is a phenomenal bass player for sure
Whaaat, I didn't even realize that she was there.
the drummer too ❤️
joey’s bass in pure love >>>>>
joey’s bass in everything >>>>>>>
joey >>>>>>>>
Single-handedly driving up the price on antigua p basses from the 70s.
we deserve a hayley williams tour 🥺
It's very nice to see Hayley having fun singing again. Petals For Armor is an amazing job.
She really one of these few modern singers that actually knows how to use the microphone dynamically by moving it around.
The Weeknd !!
You can really tell that Hayley moved on because the very 1st time hayley release dead horse she's kinda sad, emotional, and depressed. But now the way she sings it she enjoys and roast her ex 🤣
2022 e eu ainda amo essa mulher
Anything Hayley Williams creates inspires me so much in my own music. I especially love how this acoustic set reveals how much the bassist shapes these songs. He's really carrying the band. Hayley's vocals are like the response to the groove he's pumping out.
Nobody talking about how she raises the mic stand so she can hold it while she introduces everyone and then lowers it again.
You did 😃
thank you for pointing out
why is it so funny???? 😂
Why do we need to talking about that?
PrOfessional
Hayley is like Wine. She gets more beautiful w age.
Wait ten more years :V
@@andrewlav6311 what's that supposed to mean?
The maturity of her music is aging like a good wine as well.
@@awanordin it means she'll get more beautiful lol
Shes only 32 lol
She is one of a kind, love their energy and I really miss their old music vibes.
