Chris Thile singing David Byrne's lyrics= my mind officially lost. My two favorite musicians all in one performance!
The amount of musical talent in this song is insane. Obviously you got Chris Thile but beyond that Cory Wong is an insane guitar player with a successful solo career, Joey Dosik and Theo Katzman playing auxiliary percussion in the back are amazing multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters, Maggie Rogers on backup vocals who's a budding pop star, and Shaun Martin in the back of Snarky Puppy fame. And those are just the ones I recognize. Everyone else is probably a famous musician too that I'm just unaware of.
@@ehemmingson if only they hadnt mixed out cory, joey and theo lol
Yeah it's a ton of talent!
A couple you missed (who have 5 Grammys between them): Sarah Jarosz is an absolutely amazing singer-songwriter in her own right, well worth investigating. Mike Elizondo is a heck of a bass player and producer. He's the producer behind a lot of memorable Dr. Dre riffs (e.g. Mary J. Blige's A Family Affair), and has worked with everyone: Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Ry Cooder, Sheryl Crow, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Jay Z, Ed Sheerhan, Fiona Apple, Lin Manuel Miranda...the list goes on and on.
This is becoming a favorite show of mine.
Hell, I was a tremendous fan back when it was A Prairie Home Companion, this is just about the greatest damn thing that ever happened to me!
The fact that I understand the level of genius involved in this cover of another genius like David Byrne, well, makes me feel good. Chris Thile is a gift in these troubled times. His indescribable talent... His pure joy is absolutely contagious. I pity those who just don't get how great this is. Better yet, I'll just dance... After all, it's nothing but flowers!
David Byrne: "Hey, it's the apocalypse. Let's dance."
My life, it sucks so much, but every time I play this video, which has been quite often, it puts a smile on my face and it gives me some hope.
I came here to say. I fuckin feel that to bro my brother passed away in January the beginning of this year we always watched Clerks 2 and this song was in there. So I get stoned and play this to help make me happy. Hope you are well brother smoke a bowl
Really gonna miss this show.
As the world descends into more chaos and waste this song becomes more relevant
You got it
You got it... you got it...
you and me baby, ain't nothing but flowers,
so let's do it like they do on the botany channel
stop making me cry with your beautiful beautiful music.
Amazing that Chris Thile covered David Byrne, but hearing Cory Wong playing the parts that Johnny Marr played on the original makes the whole thing that little bit cooler.
That was all kinds of great. A talking heads song with banjo, violin and mandolin and it works. Chris Thile and Sarah Jarosz I just respect you both even more. Keep bring great music to the world
Marvelous cover, faithful and yet original. Blown away.
What a fantastic performance
This clip makes me stupid happy.
These guys can do friggin ANYTHING huh?!?!
Cory Wong's faces are the absolute best.
Best cover of this song I've heard! Nice performances by the ensemble! I always see this song as happy in beat and tune, yet sadly ironic in lyrics. Maybe it was Byrne practicing directed meditation in trying to bring about the anti-apocalypse / devolution of techonology, "as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention" -- which works on more than one level, both the actual state of reality and the ironic. "This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees" is this Einstien's arrow of time pointed backwards to make a point? Raising the abstract and emotionless term "real estate" above the beauty of unspoiled nature and diminishing it with "only?" The protagonist of the song yearns for the past of "cherry pies, candybars and chocolate chip cookies" just as we now yearn for an idyllic, yet mythological simpler time before the industrial revolution. I don't see this as a critique of the environmental movement's comfortable middle class ethics, as others have theorised. To me, it is more of an ironic, "wouldn't it be nice if we were pining for Dairy Queens instead of seeing them on every block?"
There's a lot of dancing for being a radio show
Outstanding!
Pure joy. This is why we need LFH back.
i watch this video everyday
we need a Pickles / Wong ultimate shred tour!
You got it
Fun watching Cory's courtship techniques play out
Haha, I just noticed that! Not sure who it’s aimed at though!
lol he's definitely married
Cory Wong got the Thile nod that night.
Oh crap! I've got a vocal!
I clicked this video hoping it was the Talking Heads song *clicks video and smiles uncontrollably* well done!
Thank you!
There's no god damn way in this world that the weird guy with the little guitar and the woman in the orange shirt aren't banging
Cory
Another concrete reason why the loss of Live From Here was a (minor) tragedy!
Great drums. But shows again what Johnny Marr is. Where he is in the echelon.
How come no one ever plays the intro right?
this really should be The GREEN movement song
Rapture and Respect.
Too much bass
