John Darnielle is a real troubadour--it's all about the words but his musicality is brilliant as well. What a combination of humility and intensity in this guy. If you have not seen their video of This Year, do it right now. It's my anthem for 2021. Maybe it's yours too.
Awesome to finally see this on the official youtube! You should definitely bring the Mountain Goats back for a full band session with some of their new songs
This man literally has my heartstrings in his hands everything he picks up that guitar and continues singing with all the passion those little lungs can muster. That's the music of a man that knows pain and how it feels to be excluded and downtrodden. Keep On Brother. Keep on. And don't let anyone tell you that you aren't making a difference.
I believe that he once said that he started by himself but wanted it so that if and when he got a band it wouldn’t be ‘John Darnielle and.....’ I guess its a reverse Panic! At the disco situation lol
Lol I’d love to see him back on here now but cramming the whole band in there. This series was basically made for John though, he always kills solo. The man is just an eternal vibe
i've been watching this tiny desk performance on another youtube channel since last year, and i always went back to watch. glad to see it's finally on npr's channel :)
NOTE: The second song played here is _'Hebrews __11:40__'_ . '11:40' is part of the title, _not_ the intended timestamp, though RUclips doesn't know the difference.
@@masansr I believe he's said he doesn't like the themes of threatening self-harm based on the actions of another person. The image of a hopeless romantic at rock bottom with a 'colt 45 with a broken safety catch' isn't something John want's to romanticize, and I think he felt this song leaned a little too far into that territory
Gotta love Darnielle and the Mountain Goats. They had a show once in Stockholm. As a Finn I don´t go to Sweden unless I really have to. That time I really had to.
This takes you back to being young and naive, and you reconnect with all the wonderful things about that time of life. Thinking I knew what life had in store even though I knew I had no idea how it would unfold. It was a long time ago, but still feels like yesterday.
This was the first tiny desk concert I ever saw (someone else has released it), and it got me both into the mountain goats and tiny desk. Glad this is finally being properly released!
I first heard of the Mountain Goats through John Green - that trope is true I guess - but this was one of the first times that I really started to love them in their own right. This band’s crazy important to me - they’re the reason I picked up guitar a few years, and one of my very first goals was to learn every song in this set :)
also, I remember taking heed to the time that John messes up in the song. I was waiting for that. If I remember correctly, he also had to re-start on the second song, but that may have been cut out. It's actually really inspiring to see someone make mistakes.

An amazing performance all around. Someone plz for real correct me of i am wrong but this is probably the closest to the studio version of Going to Georgia since this video right?

Bring the Mountain Goats back to Tiny Desk, please please please!
🤞
Do it! Please

More Mountain Goats!
oh to be an npr employee in 2010 ane have john darnielle belting 'HE HAS FIXED HIS SIIIGN IN THE SKYYY' in your face from 6 feet away
Sign me up lol
God tell me about it.
T O K E E P T H E B E A C O N F L A S H I N G
Imagine John directly asking you what song you wanted to hear, I think my head would explode
The 240p feels nostalgic too. I thought my eyes were going bad...
It feels appropriate given the fidelity of All Hail West Texas.
It has been twelve years and I still consistently come here to find comfort.
That's why I'm here, now!
Howdy partner
Their song "This Year" has gotten me through every year since 2013, no joke.
same but like, 2007
2015 here, you're not alone. Although I doubt I have one more in me right now.
Keep ur head up. There are places for us to hide. We will make it@@masansr
Hey, same. It's one of the ones I always go back to like a mantra when I go through depression and dark times.
Is right.
Why do I love the internet so much? One reason. I get rabbit-holed to the Mountain Goats everyday is a new day of Goat... thx for this upload.
you found the LMA right
another wonderful show from Midwestern emo john oliver

They had a better version a few years back but took it down for some reason
after a lockdown induced family argument and kitchen accidents this is saving my sunday evening

I see but ONE mountain goat
🌜maya🌛 You must first believe in the Mountain Goats before you can SEE the Mountain Goats.
We are ALL mountain goats on this blessed day

YES
0:20 - *_Color in Your Cheeks_* (2:52)
3:13 - *_Hebrews _**_11:40_* (5:49)
5:55 - *_Psalms 40:2_* (8:54)
9:57 - *_Going to Georgia_* (12:35)
NOTE: The second song played here is _'Hebrews __11:40__'_ .
'11:40' is part of the title, _not_ the intended timestamp, though RUclips doesn't know the difference.
Awesome
thanks fam
John is just the best person in the whole world. Who else could make a mistake on tiny desk and still be absolutely perfect
I totally understand John Darnielle's decision to more or less disown 'Going to Georgia'. But, man, if it isn't a gorgeous song.
Graham B Amen.
What's the reason behind that?

Also I think as soon as Laura Jane Grace covered it it belonged to her
@@feandwine also the implied themes of domestic violence
IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS VIDEO FOR 10 YEARS!!!??? so glad you guys chose this to reupload!!!
The speed he can play the guitar at the end of psalms 40:2 has me perplexed as to why he’s so underrated to this day
there couldn't have been a better time to bring this back
Gotta love Darnielle and the Mountain Goats. They had a show once in Stockholm. As a Finn I don´t go to Sweden unless I really have to. That time I really had to.
That whole concert is recorded and on youtube, by the way.
This takes you back to being young and naive, and you reconnect with all the wonderful things about that time of life. Thinking I knew what life had in store even though I knew I had no idea how it would unfold. It was a long time ago, but still feels like yesterday.
John playing live is what made tmg get so big he just brings something extra live
It’s the shouting about 7 lines of the song in one chord that sells me on it
This was the first tiny desk concert I ever saw (someone else has released it), and it got me both into the mountain goats and tiny desk. Glad this is finally being properly released!
Did you become a nerdfighter before or after seeing it?

If you're up for some rap, Noname and Tank and the Bangas did 2 of the best tiny desks I've ever seen if you still haven't checked those out
this video put color in my cheeks
Joris van Dijk me too! (Nice pink moon avatar!)
Good God, this gentleman is feeling it
"going to Georgia" was beautiful
absolutely without a doubt THE definitive version of Color in Your Cheeks
True
I'm gonna make it through this year if it kills meeeee
TMG have been carrying me through the quarantine so this has incredible timing
I love how there's someone just on her computer mid-email in the front haha... those were the days to be an npr employee
also, I remember taking heed to the time that John messes up in the song. I was waiting for that. If I remember correctly, he also had to re-start on the second song, but that may have been cut out. It's actually really inspiring to see someone make mistakes.
the Songwriter of the century
i gotta say i REALLY appreciate those hand shots
This was definately on youtube a few years ago, this concert was what introduced me to the mountain goats.
Just waiting for vlogbrothers to show up in the comments
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
I wonder if they know how big of a fan John is. And how many new fans he has created for them haha.
Being a Nerdfighter made me a mountain goats fan
Anne Harper npr or The Mountain Goats?
@@breakingintodawn The Mountain Goats performed with the vlogbrothers at Carnegie Hall and John Green was a guest on the first episode of The Mountain Goats' podcast
I keep coming back . "I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 colt 45 with a busted safety catch" very cool.
Sweet Baby Jesus, Psalms 40:2 gave me goosebumps.
I should be at a Mountain Goats show right now, but instead there's a pandemic so I'm in bed watching this video.
And the sound quality is great like always 👍. Thank You NPR team 🙏
One of my favorite songwriters of all time. ❤️
I love John's songwriting so much, thank you for uploading this!
Wow.. ten years and John is still putting together some really incredible stuff. This man just refuses to run out of steam, huh?
It’s the fact that he played my favourite song 🫣
love love the mountain goats !
John so badass he just casually forgets the best line he ever wrote.
I always thought it was Macon County, GA... definitely NC
You thought what was Macon County, GA?
Get the Mountain Goats back in there!!
finally! ive been watching re-uploads of this for years
Best version of Color in Your Cheeks hands down. Also i remember seeing this on RUclips before and i used to watch it all the time. Stellar stuff
This was right before I saw him for the first time! That's crazy.
historic moment
I love his voice so much... whoa
this version of psalm 40:2 is the most unhinged I have seen, 10/10
It’s so good
This had always been my favorite tiny desk. Esp 10 years ago
Like a time capsule 🙏😊
hebrews 11:40 in this format is so good
A little Sunday isolation music. Gracias👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵
i am so happy this exists
Doing my guy John right. Love the TDC.
The content I signed up for
I need this today. Thank you so much for pulling this out of the archives!!
This is special. Thank you
I've been waiting so long for this one, thank you so much!
Probably my favourite human of all time. The intro before colour in your cheeks made me laugh out loud
still so good and worth revisiting, you should have tmg back on when you can
Things that changed your life for 1000 alex.
Legendary.
He needs to do it again! Please make a new one!
What a travesty that the Mountain Goats have not played a tiny desk concert in the last 12+ years
GOATED
Love you John
Bring the whole band back
I always forget we used to use potatoes to film things in the ‘00s
Yay
I appreciate the archives so much
I would love to see Father John Misty in a Tiny desk concert!
Sebulon no we don’t
I think there is one
Loving it!
I have the HD download of this performance...why don't you guys?
I suppose it's the thought that counts...
so it was out in HD, but they dont have it lol. sad.
Yeah we had 1080p back in 2010 lol. What gives?
Upload it yourself
I know it's a video.. but the audio is fine. So the "p" don't matter. Just sit back and relax chief. Enjoy.
I like how John doesn't skip a beat when the NPR employee requested Going to Georgia
John Green has entered the chat

I NEEDED THIS
AS I CROSS THE MACON COUNTY LINE GOING TO GEORGIAAAAAA
This sounds even more surreal with a 40 oz Icehouse.
Thank you for posting this! Love so much.

This was definitely posted before...
