Saw Meg in San Francisco a while back. She is AMAZING! Her voice, lyrics... stage presence. She is the real deal and deserves FAR more notoriety than she seems to receive.
@@TwinRabbitMan The fact that she changes her voice to match or contrast with the instrumental's voicings(depending) is what makes the songs compelling... Copy pasting is the worst artistic approach ever.
@Jeremy Barrett Her best look is indeed street clothes and anything but that terrible hairdo she's sporting now-a-days. Her earlier live sets on stage she was so SEXY
This woman is incredible, her voice is angry and sad and haunting. I listen to her way more than I admit, usually listen to more older punk rock and this isn't what I normally would turn on, but cant turn this lady off.
Shes great and you can easily hear more if you just listen to her. Def listen to Monster, Desire, Heart Heart Head, I Really Want You to Hate Me, Motel, Make a Shadow, Sorry, Curbstomp, Adelaide, After You, Numb, Funeral, A Bolt from the Blue, etc...
It must be very odd...maybe uncomfortable for some artists to do their thing in broad daylight, in this weird setting. Like a night animal having to hunt in the day.
One of the most honest and real female artist I've ever heard. It really hurts inside listening to Meg, but I appreciate her honesty and pouring out her emotions in her yelps, screams and voice changes. I saw her in a small club and she was so emotional and was fighting so many demons, but it was a very beautiful and gut wrenching evening. I applaud Meg for her uniqueness.
This is a perfect example of raw expression! You can feel what she's singing and her body language. She's not afraid to let herself go and it's refreshing! I appreciate her energy and sincerity.🔥
If you understand astrological symbolism and that Meg has Libra Sun with Scorpio Moon conjunct Scorpio Venus, and then earlier Scorpio Pluto conjunct Scorpio Mercury...well, I'd say you encapsulated that combo pretty well. An interesting mix of vulnerability, raw emotion, sensitivity, and some edgy anger/resentment.
@@justinw1765 But astrology isn't real though. Can you explain to me the mecanism by which planets that are dozens and hundreds of AU away and stars that are light years away affect the personality of people born on certain days. I'm sorry, all pseudoscience is dangerous. Once someone starts believing rather innocent pseudosciences then it opens the door less innocent ones.
Its a good thing, leaving space in music is good. There is a string quartet also so leaving space for them and vocal is important and very astute of the pianist. He's acting bass if you haven't noticed.. FYI
Maaaan, the VENOM of her vocal delivery in that first song alone, and that LOOK in her eyes...For the first few seconds I thought 'what is she doing, she's all over the place, she can't be serious'....Oh yes she can. Make all the Tori Amos/Fiona Apple comparisons you want, I've never heard anything quite like this. Brilliant.
Elra Beechum :👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well said! I love both Tori and Fiona but they don’t hold a candle to this girl!! She is unbelievably talented!! And her cover of one of my all time favorites is actually better than the original!! Damn!!! Cheers
Meg Myers is an absolute gift to the world of music and is sorely underrated and underappreciated. Been my absolute favorite for four years now. A voice like no other, and deep confessional lyrics. She was also super nice and down to earth when I met her last summer. ♥️ Meg
I'm a new fan, but I can recognize brilliance when I hear and see it. It's her dedication, complete mind to voice connection that leaves me absolutely inspired. 💕🎶🎤👏
Nothing resonates more with me in music than raw, visceral emotion and she delivers this like no other. This isn't a performer - this is an artist down to an atomic level.
I don’t hear emotion or see it in this performance at all. I hear a amazing singer who knows her vocal tonalities and how to switch it up… I see her thinking and concentrating on how navigate her vocals. I don’t see any emotions behind her eyes while singing, it’s like a robot talking and singing, but a robot that knows how to sound emotion, but lacks it true pure emotion. Emotion is in the eyes and she is devoid of it. It’s odd. It’s compelling because of it.
And hooly shit! This whole time since the release of the Running Up That Hill cover I thought that weird wave in her voice during the verses were purely in-studio-magic 😮 her voice is insaaaane 💜💜💜💜
Man so glad someone at Tiny Desk caught wind of Meg. Loved her since her debut and thought that might be all she ever shared with us. Caught the tour for Disco and she blew me away!!! So so so happy that people are hearing of her now
Although I readily admit that she does not have the exposure or support she so rightfully deserves, I have not seen much in the way of outright disrespect of her talents. If anybody were to say that she is often misunderstood for her tendency to get lost in the emotion of her presentation.. that is a compliment flying in the face of an industry overly saturated with pretentiousness -- and an ever-growing lack of originality. Some people can't handle sincerity without feeling the burn of their own petty insecurities. That is precisely why a free spirit like Meg seems to not do well with the oppressive nature of contracted obligations. Having to toss the coin that determines Fame and Fortune vs. Control and Integrity is a tough position to be in. I doubt many of those who have downvoted this (or have anything negative to say about her offerings) have ever been in that position.
Right! But it does sound good, and at the same time, reminds me of Zooey Deschanel on the movie, Yes Man with her band, Munchausen by Proxy. Here's a clip to make it easy: ruclips.net/video/3DbaJgSkDVg/видео.html

May I recommend laying an attempt in your daily life at reducing the amount of things that "bug" you. Allowing other people's words to negatively impact you in such a way that you lash out does little to change the other person and will only serve to drag you down in the long run. Thank you for remaining civil. I hope you find great joy in your life ahead.

I heard Desire on the radio and spent too long trying to remember the name of the song. Saw this and knew it was the same woman singing, and spent the last year listening to her more than I would admit to anyone I know.
@@shawnritter5768 dude, it's at the point where youtube is offering me "Mix - Meg Myers - Monster", "Mix - Meg Myers - Desire", "Mix - Meg Myers - Numb" all at once on the homepage. I swear I also listen to other stuff...
AMAZING! I am an eighties child, and I never thought this song could be covered by anyone as good as Kate Bush.....I was wrong! Congratulations Meg. GREAT JOB!
From personal experience many people cant get passed a few songs of Meg's without saying they dislike it or its not for them . However, great music isn't necessarily instant gratification and nor should it be. If you listen to her music you will hopefully "get it" and get where she is singing from. In my humble opinion Meg is one of only a few artists in the last 10 years that actually matter. She is, as is her music, simply awesome.
I hated this the first time I heard this. I even laughed how she says "Drunk". Then after some time i realized maybe it was just me....but ...it's grown on me. For the past few weeks I can't stop watching this video. I started checking out her other live performances. This woman is ...maddening. I hate how much she's in my head. So... yeah...that's what's been happening. Truly an artist.
I've been musically around the block more than a few times being an old git, and this wonderful, powerful lady for me is a beacon of light. Mind blown in the best possible way, every time ✌️❤️
Imagine finding her by accident at 14...I'm 19 now and Meg Myers is one of my favorite artists. Her songs aren't mainstream but it's raw emotion. Give her a chance, listen to her music and see if it does anything for you.
I'm a 50 year old dude and same....by accident stumbled across "Heart Heart Head"....then spent hours that evening watching every video she put out over and over again. That was 2 months ago and there is no doubt that she's amazing! I now have both her full LPs in vinyl and CDs. Her first 2 mini-album releases I could only find in digital, though.
It’s nice the all-seeing witch brought forward in time some medieval peasants to play backup at her show after one of her time travels. That’s all I could think while looking at the ensemble behind her 😂 Keep evolving, Megan. You’re becoming.
Aww Meg, I am a huge Kate Bush fan. When I heard this song, the way you covered it, I had tears streaming down my face. It was beautiful, respectful, and I have heard so many covers of this song, and yours captured its urgency, its pain, and its absolute beauty. Thank you for such a beautiful and respectful cover of a masterpiece.
Oh god. She totally got me. I´m now completely her puppet. I´m listening her songs everywhere. Car, work, home....yesterday on bike and I was used to listen there hard rock workout motivational music. =D
I have been a fan of a Meg Myers for many years and she still captivates me in the music. What I really love is the genuine honesty delivered in the music, it's always unique and I enjoy her voice styling.
It's always interesting sharing her music with friends and showing them how she is performing live and how they're weirded out, but as a singer, the way you move is crucial to how you sound, and it's so cool to me that she uses her movements to create her own sound and to also express herself and just let it all out.
She’s like Portishead, Alanis, Amy Lee, but better than all of them combined, way edgier and way creepy in a good way lol. Cannot even believe I haven’t heard of this girl until now and found her by complete accident, her “desire” video was recommended after listening to Grimes and Purity Ring on YT. YT actually did something amazing for me for once. So thank you.🙏can’t get enough now.
Like, "Don't make her mad! She threw a knife at me yesterday!" Kidding aside: Meg has made quasi-violent videos, so there is that element. I am sure she is not actually, really violent, though.
Wow. This is my introduction to Meg Myers and I'm impressed and intrigued. Kate Bush has been one of my favorite singers/song writers forever. Meg's introduction to Running Up That Hill clarified that song for me.
Put this on for some background music while studying, and this made me stop and take notice. You know where these nice folks are going? Right into the Spotify queue.....
On late night performances they autotune out of existence all the interesting parts of her vocals. Thanks NPR for your Tiny Desk. Thank you MM for the excellent cover of Kate Bush's classic.
I love Maynard, but he has a very melodic, raw, and even Monk chanting in some of his APC vocals. Meg is raw and an artist, but she is not a good vocalist in my opinion.
@@fiamma6594 it seems like who ever writes/arranges the songs (whether it be Meg alone or she has help) wrote them outside of her vocal range. I'm not trying to be rude, I feel her pain, I have a low voice too. She shouldn't have to struggle so much to hit the notes in her own songs (wicked temptation is a good example of what I'm talking about) That being said, she is talented and I do keep coming back to listen to her, so she must be doing something right 🤷
@@micky_knuckles In my opinion, she is an Artist and a very talented one at that, but she is not a skilled vocalist. A skilled vocalist would transpose the music to fit their voice regardless of the original composer. Unpopular opinion.....but Mylie Cyrus covering Maybe by Janis Joplin....that woman can sing! Meg is raw and that's part of her artistic flair. I will definitely listen to Wicked Temptation. I do enjoy her music, but I don't listen for the melodic quality because she is just not that kind of artist. No offense taken.
@@fiamma6594 I love Miley Cyrus, especially what she's doing lately with the more raspy, "rock" thing she's trying to do, it suits her voice very well. I wish I had the...I don't know what it is, the bravery I guess? To scream like Meg does in Heart Heart Head (not the ones at the very very end, they are just kinda shrill in my opinion)
@@isabelayumi5734 honestly Lemon eyes was very different from the way she used to be as well tho... I thought it was very mainstream sounding for her compared to the darker sound she had before.
I hear what you’re saying but she isn’t a Sith Lord. She has real pain in her life and is using music to express and expunge it from her life while allowing others to do the same through her music. She isn’t taking it out on others and plotting their demise. He chosen path of dealing with the bad things in her life is way more akin to a Jedi than a Sith Lord. Nerdiest comment I’ve ever made.
I'm so happy Meg is getting recognition again! I hope it turns out even better this time and she finds a path she truly feels free in! Shes unbelievably talented!
Luv Her Intensity! She needs more performances unplugged like this. It emphisizes her talent. She has great talent that needs to shine above overpowering instruments. Thk u npr... Thank U MEG!
You can recognized a truly artist when you can't deciede which of her songs are the best as all of them are amazng on their own I am a Metalhead however can't ignore the fact that there is beautiful music out there love you Meg lml

She has a captivating neurosis and some of her deliberate word mispronunciations play with subliminal vocal wiring.
Same here man lmao
xD yep felt the same too... Now I can't stop listening to this.
What about the way she says "drunk"? The exaggeration?
She is so Bene Gesserit, that is a display of “The Voice” if I have ever seen one.
LOL. Ok. Someone likes Dune.
Very apt comparison
Put your right hand in the box.
I've been musically around the block more than a few times being an old git, and this wonderful, powerful lady for me is a beacon of light. Mind blown in the best possible way, every time ✌️❤️
Do checkout her new single My Mirror. she's done it again;
Meg never phones it in. 100%. Every time. Loving all the first time listeners of her stuff.
I love this so much better. Her regular stuff is over produced. I would love to see her collab with Jack white.
That would be amazing!
You just did see it. That's an incognito Jack White on drums. Hiding in plain sight!
I enjoy a slick production but it is nice to hear it all stripped away and know that the songs don’t depend on it at all.
Imagine finding her by accident at 14...I'm 19 now and Meg Myers is one of my favorite artists. Her songs aren't mainstream but it's raw emotion. Give her a chance, listen to her music and see if it does anything for you.
Ereri Stark I found her around the same age lol, 17 now
I'm a 50 year old dude and same....by accident stumbled across "Heart Heart Head"....then spent hours that evening watching every video she put out over and over again. That was 2 months ago and there is no doubt that she's amazing! I now have both her full LPs in vinyl and CDs. Her first 2 mini-album releases I could only find in digital, though.
The difference on edge doesn't matter
Music for my ears does
God bless you all
Nothing...🤣👍🏽
It’s nice the all-seeing witch brought forward in time some medieval peasants to play backup at her show after one of her time travels. That’s all I could think while looking at the ensemble behind her 😂
Keep evolving, Megan. You’re becoming.
I'm ok with good use of music
2024 and it still hits ❤
This reminds me of the 90s for some reason. Pretty cool.
I get it. Tori Amos esque via the 90s... or even Fionna Apple.
Check out "Cold" by her :)
@@earthmama_luma tori Amos ! Exactly
z9elka Tori Amos and Kate Bush, who Tori basically copied on her early work.
She's herself.
Clicked for the jumpsuit, stayed for the tunes 💃🏻
Emily Meg reminds me a tad of Björk
This was a dope ass session. Never heard of her until now, made a fan out of me that's for sure.
Aww Meg, I am a huge Kate Bush fan. When I heard this song, the way you covered it, I had tears streaming down my face. It was beautiful, respectful, and I have heard so many covers of this song, and yours captured its urgency, its pain, and its absolute beauty. Thank you for such a beautiful and respectful cover of a masterpiece.
Oh god. She totally got me. I´m now completely her puppet. I´m listening her songs everywhere. Car, work, home....yesterday on bike and I was used to listen there hard rock workout motivational music. =D
I have been a fan of a Meg Myers for many years and she still captivates me in the music. What I really love is the genuine honesty delivered in the music, it's always unique and I enjoy her voice styling.
Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?
Directly came to my mind
Coitus?
😂
Shorty is full of drama.
She tight ain't she?
Ms. Sparky Drama
Rocket Power Tori Amos wannabe
A bit too much. I think I'll just go grab some tea with the cellist instead.
Amazing, isn't she?
ZWICK 6 Funny you call her a Tori Amos wannabe, when Tori Amos got the majority of her style from Kate Bush, who wrote Running Up That Hill.
It's always interesting sharing her music with friends and showing them how she is performing live and how they're weirded out, but as a singer, the way you move is crucial to how you sound, and it's so cool to me that she uses her movements to create her own sound and to also express herself and just let it all out.
she aint fkn around. brainged it. pushed it. understood there's one go with this tiny huge desssssssssssssssK. great beautiful job by them all bravo
Is there a Bjork Tiny Desk concert? Because I have a hankering for one now
Life is not that fair...watch her Unplugged instead, old but gold.
she's too famous for tiny desks
@@Spiderboyish idk Adele and Florence and the machine did tiny desk. I think it's really doesn't matter if you must be a unknown artist to be there.
@@jakubmarszaek8330 indeed they did, but Florence, albeit very famous, is still an "indie" artist, plus she likes small venues
I feel like the Tiny Desk atmosphere couldn't fit her wild world imo
She’s like Portishead, Alanis, Amy Lee, but better than all of them combined, way edgier and way creepy in a good way lol. Cannot even believe I haven’t heard of this girl until now and found her by complete accident, her “desire” video was recommended after listening to Grimes and Purity Ring on YT. YT actually did something amazing for me for once. So thank you.🙏can’t get enough now.
Well if it weren't for Stranger Things I wouldn't even know she existed. She is very talented and I appreciate her music.
I kinda wanna kiss her but fear she suddenly will take a big bite on my face. She's magnificent tho💙
Hahaha!
This is the chilled version, you should see her when she really lets go in intensity.
Jokingly, they are all saying, "This is not an act, she's holding us captive. Help us!"
Like, "Don't make her mad! She threw a knife at me yesterday!" Kidding aside: Meg has made quasi-violent videos, so there is that element. I am sure she is not actually, really violent, though.
Even I clapped watching this on my phone....
Her voice. It’s so like flexible or something. Man she’s good af? 🤷♂️ I love it lol
This is my favourite NPR session. I hope she comes back and records another set for us :-)
Wow. This is my introduction to Meg Myers and I'm impressed and intrigued. Kate Bush has been one of my favorite singers/song writers forever. Meg's introduction to Running Up That Hill clarified that song for me.
So, nobody's going to mention the Elf in the string section?!?
There are others there??
There is definitely something special about her. Listened to this 4 times today.
Put this on for some background music while studying, and this made me stop and take notice. You know where these nice folks are going? Right into the Spotify queue.....
NPR is a beautiful thing
On late night performances they autotune out of existence all the interesting parts of her vocals. Thanks NPR for your Tiny Desk. Thank you MM for the excellent cover of Kate Bush's classic.
Her vocal range and different things she can do with her voice is god tier
It isn't. Not even close. But, she has emotion in it. And in the end, that's what matters.
Holy crap! That Kate Bush cover!!!
Generally though, quite some PJ Harvey influence...
She totally reminds me of PJ!!
@@francosamericanmusings1560 Thanks for commenting on this, I'd forgotten about this gig... Glad to be watching it again :)
Pretty sure I’m at least 20k of the views. ☺️ I’m in love.
Those are rookie numbers 😉😆
Shelley Jane you're beautiful, too.
I got a great deal of Maynard James Keenan vibe from her singing. She is absolutely stunning.
I love Maynard, but he has a very melodic, raw, and even Monk chanting in some of his APC vocals. Meg is raw and an artist, but she is not a good vocalist in my opinion.
@@fiamma6594 it seems like who ever writes/arranges the songs (whether it be Meg alone or she has help) wrote them outside of her vocal range. I'm not trying to be rude, I feel her pain, I have a low voice too. She shouldn't have to struggle so much to hit the notes in her own songs (wicked temptation is a good example of what I'm talking about)
That being said, she is talented and I do keep coming back to listen to her, so she must be doing something right 🤷
@@micky_knuckles In my opinion, she is an Artist and a very talented one at that, but she is not a skilled vocalist. A skilled vocalist would transpose the music to fit their voice regardless of the original composer. Unpopular opinion.....but Mylie Cyrus covering Maybe by Janis Joplin....that woman can sing! Meg is raw and that's part of her artistic flair. I will definitely listen to Wicked Temptation. I do enjoy her music, but I don't listen for the melodic quality because she is just not that kind of artist. No offense taken.
@@fiamma6594 I love Miley Cyrus, especially what she's doing lately with the more raspy, "rock" thing she's trying to do, it suits her voice very well.
I wish I had the...I don't know what it is, the bravery I guess? To scream like Meg does in Heart Heart Head (not the ones at the very very end, they are just kinda shrill in my opinion)
Is this the same Meg Myers who sang Lemon Eyes? Haven’t heard her in a while, definitely a different tune these days.
Yup
@@isabelayumi5734 honestly Lemon eyes was very different from the way she used to be as well tho... I thought it was very mainstream sounding for her compared to the darker sound she had before.
I think she was better before lemon eyes xd I guess her first album sister in the choir was the best, the cellist was something awesome.
@Jack Carter her whole new album is meh, and everything before was pure fire.
@Jack Carter I agree that music was better before but her live performance is still superb.
Such a special, beautiful mind she has! Reminds me of Tori Amos. She is another one we have on this blue little planet at the moment.
This woman is truly gifted and gorgeous with it. Her voice is exceptional, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant is all I've got to say.
If Meg Myers was in the star wars universe, she'd be one terrifying Sith Lord.
I hear what you’re saying but she isn’t a Sith Lord. She has real pain in her life and is using music to express and expunge it from her life while allowing others to do the same through her music. She isn’t taking it out on others and plotting their demise. He chosen path of dealing with the bad things in her life is way more akin to a Jedi than a Sith Lord.
Nerdiest comment I’ve ever made.
I really don't know how anyone could ever dislike any of her stuff
We call that jealousy ;)
I mean, she's pretty intense and sonically spikey..😂
I mean I totally get how someone would dislike it but I love it.
I'm so happy Meg is getting recognition again! I hope it turns out even better this time and she finds a path she truly feels free in! Shes unbelievably talented!
Luv Her Intensity! She needs more performances unplugged like this. It emphisizes her talent. She has great talent that needs to shine above overpowering instruments. Thk u npr... Thank U MEG!
HOLY F.......not since Bjork have I been so moved by a female singer....2021 period..
You can recognized a truly artist when you can't deciede which of her songs are the best as all of them are amazng on their own I am a Metalhead however can't ignore the fact that there is beautiful music out there love you Meg lml
I f$&king love MEG MYERS!! Her music is pure genius!! Her voice is heaven and she can sing what hell feels like better than anyone!!
Cheers
her body language n voice is basically a physical representation of how my mind feels #semi-psychotic
