“I just wanted to take a moment before we start to say - lower your expectations,” Lewis Capaldi told the audience before his Tiny Desk performance. He then immediately launched into a beautifully crafted, vocally stunning four piece set.
Beginning with a special arrangement of “Before You Go,” Capaldi was flanked by a full band, including two horns - something new for the Scottish singer. His second song, “Wish You the Best,” is the latest, Capaldi-style heartbreaking single from his upcoming album Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent. Capaldi joked that he didn’t have much to say about the exclusive premiere of his next song, “Heavenly Kind of State of Mind,” describing it solely as simply being three minutes long.
If you didn’t know anything about Capaldi before watching his Tiny Desk, the self-deprecating humor mixed in between gut-wrenching vocal ballads will quickly catch you up to speed. Capaldi had NPR’s audience in tears, both from laughing at sexually suggestive jokes about the size of the Desk and lyrics about the complexities of moving on after a relationship ends. “What happens now?” Capaldi asked the Tiny Desk team as he wrapped up “Someone You Loved,” the final song of his set. Time to put the video on repeat and grab a tissue box.

Tiny desk is the best thing on the Internet. Period.
Then it’s cat memes
Then....
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I dont often publicly agree. But I can't help but to very strongly agree
And Colours
Agree
How he’s able to write and perform those heart wrenching songs and proceed to tell jokes is beyond me
lot of comedy comes from despair
This is who Ed Sheeran thinks he is
@@546walter Why we bashing Ed, though? Dudes a great talent as well.
@@foxross4468 just a salty bit of comment
Its called emotional ❤
This is the first time I've ever heard Lewis Capaldi. I'm blown away.
His accent is incredible, he's hilarious, his singing voice is pristine and his song writing is unreal.
This is a great introduction to him, thank you NPR
My first time hearing Lewis. I also thought it was great from the first notes!
Oh you guys are going to love listening to Lewis' songs. Be prepared to cry and fall in love
he popped up in a tiktok - very cool find!
Pretty sure he's like sick or something here
@@creativewaystothrowgames5729 Nope, he has tourettes and cant control all his movements and noises. Thats whats happening I think. So when hes coughing its a tick not sickness.
There should be awards for best sound technicians of the internet for the NPR team. It’s always brilliantly mixed and sounds phenomenal!
It's them vs KEXP for sure
Blogothèque aren’t too shabby either
Who cares about awards in the end, we just want to hear music. I understand what you are saying, sick of awards. So much great music, let's celebrate that here on earth.
True. They’re doing a great job.
Really..!
Tiny desk hits different at 3 am 😮💨
That's right
True that 😊
Facts
Hope things are OK with you knowing exactly how you feel. Take care ❤
Its like you're here
Hats off to the audio engineer(s). Balancing soft playing with the brass. Sounds great.
Josh Rogosin always hits
Brilliant
Lewis made out his mate on piano set it all up? I don’t know if they have a sit in sound engineer. Probably sound checked themselves. 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
@@MrSmid888He meant the music arrangements for this
Would you like a rim?
I miss him so much, I hope he is doing well on his break from social media🖤 he deserves everything and more.
He is so underrated af.
Yep, I really hope he does well. And I agree that he's very veeery underrated, he deserves a lot more recognition, awards, etc... Anyways, let's enjoy that we exist at the same era than he does. His legacy will live on, I'm plenty sure of it.
What do we know exactly? 😢
As a Scot I’m bursting with pride our Lewis is some man the patter and the tears just brilliant. Not my usual music but man’s a national treasure here in Scotland 🏴💚
As a Nigerian the two famous Scots I know is Sir Alex and Lewis Calpdi
@@ozonzechibudike4293 both of them are national treasures to us Scot’s 🏴
@@ozonzechibudike4293most of the biggest acts on earth ever has scottish boys/lassies in them🤷♂️🏴🇬🇧
Since I saw this Tiny Desk (and what happened at Glastonbury 2023), I think you Scots are right to be quite proud of a guy finally different in many ways from pretty much anyone else.
@@andreacamattari us Scot’s are very proud of Lewis his honesty is on another level
Really didn’t see this one coming! Tiny desk never disappoints.
I'm feeling this guy's music. Tiny desk keeps it coming
Lewis is echt een baas
Except maluma 😅
Good lord he sounds even better “live” than on the actual recordings. This man is scary talented!
Props also to the sound engineer:))
Lewis is a step above most mainstream artists imo, his abilities as a songwriter and vocalist are so much more than what's needed for popular music. I feel the same way about Jason Mraz, he's got some incredible work like Let's See What The Night Can Do
And hella funny too
no chance lol
Agree
It’s mesmerising how his voice sounds so pure and raw but at the same time realising how much control he has over it, very impressive
Is it normal to cry during every one of Lewis’s songs? This is beyond incredible. 💙💙💙
Not doing so would be questionable.
Yes
Dunno but I certainly do!
Yes, for me it is ❤😭
I know I do
Ive heard some of Lewis's hits on the radio but haven't really sat down and listened to a lot of his stuff. He's a real talent, jeez.
He's whole first album is amazing and he's second one is out in literally 5 minutes, I'd advise giving them both a listen
amazing set of pipes on him
If you listen to the lyrics of Before You Go, he's singing to his aunt who took her own life. Pretty devastating song
thought the same until i watched his doc on netflix. it's incredible
@Oliver Gilberthorpe wait what documentary .... willll dooo
Lewis Capaldi is a global treasure and must be protected at all costs.
Glad he's probably found a way to do that by himself.
You are everythijg I ever needed all along
Sadly he might be done performing concert look up his latest performance at glastonbury. Utterly heart wrenching. He has developed (or had them before but inactive) tourettes and can't perform to this standard anymore.
Such a lame comment. Everyone deserves to be protected.
Hardly. He just sings song. Not exactly life saving
Every Tiny Desk becomes my favorite version of each artists songs.
He might be the most genuine major artist out today. He seems to be himself 100% of the time no matter what. Not worried about how cool he comes off, or if his off the cuff jokes might offend, just a goof ball. It’s refreshing, especially considering how deep his music is.
Can we just talk about the production here. Such great sounds and with musicians on top of each other and especially the way he sings from super quiet to almost screaming and pushing, his voice is completely clear and balanced. Kudos to the production team for sure.
One of the best in the business. Totally agree.
I have hailed Bob Boiland since childhood...
Agreed 100%!!!! ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼
Totally agree. I'm always impressed. Boilen and his crew let everyone sound their best in this tiny environment.
Time after time. A++
He's got epic pipes and natural comedic timing. That's a once in a generation combo.
True! Jamie foxx set the precedent
@@montrealer9true that ❤
The piano guy is the secret star of this video.
This tiny desk concert in particular hits different at 12am 🥲 I loved that they added the trumpet and trombone to "Before You Go" in the beginning. It was truly delightful.
He can go from cracking jokes and acting like a fool to singing like an absolute angel in a second ! Now that's talent right there ! 💯
It's so nice to see him so relaxed. He's hardly ticking. I could listen to this man sing for hours.
This man is transparent for real. Sings with such a passion, it's just beautiful.
This is one of my faves tiny desks ever. Lewis is such an insanely emotional artist, even if his lyrics are not for you, he just manages to put out there a huge amount of feelings that just get to you! Hope he recovers quickly and his team helps him to get back on tour, not for the money but for him, you can see how much he loves playing live and doing this.
Wasn’t ever my type of music but recently I watched his Netflix documentary and learned massive respect for Lewis. Glad to see him crushing it and was really happy when this came up on tiny desk
I agree. I like some of his singles, but his album isn’t my cup of tea. He is incredibly talented though. I absolutely love his sense of humor and think he has a great personality. I wish him all the success in the world. 😊
It'll always amaze me how he alternates between the giggle-causing humorist and the heart-wrenching musician personas.
Crazy that they didn't put reverb and all the additional stuff on the vocals. They take the absolute raw audio from the mic and make a great mix. This is insane. Only works with kickass musicians and of course a kickass singer like Lewis!
Lewis is great! And can we talk about that piano player? He’s truly feeling the music! He’s fantastic! Great job to all!
The transition from the 'f**k yeah' guy to one of the most emotional singers I've ever heard was nothing short of stunning
What a nice surprise that he did Tiny Desk. Lewis is such a funny, dorky guy you’d never think he writes music like this - or the other way around 😄 His voice comes out even more nicely in this scenario, thanks for this!
He’s perfect for this
Piano player plays with so much soul and feel! 🔥
Having seen Lewis in concert I can confirm he is amazing live, the jokes never stop then he reduces you to tears with his powerful ballads. It’s a whole production on stage, but I love this more intimate version too ❤
I saw Lewis Capaldi's name and couldn't click fast enough. This, from a 64-year-old writer from a small town in Florida. I love his music. Thanks, Tiny Desk! Also, great musicians in the band.
Besides my children I didn't think it was possible to love someone so much. You don't just hear him sing. You feel him sing.
That's actually one of the most beautiful comments I've read 🥰
Beautifully said ❤
Sad for your parents and husband
@@dispenserjakethedog5579 Yea, probably so.
A beautiful comment
HOW come no is talking about the keyboardist? The guy is a master of his craft. So soothing
He is so relaxed in this setting love it
I love Lewis. He is such an honest, geniune person. No airs or fakeness. He’s just himself and the world needs more artists and famous people in the public eye who are willing to be real and raw. Keep being yourself, Lew. We love you just the way you are. Your music is beautiful and inspiring. ❤️❤️ Thank you for having him on your show, NPR.
this tiny desk concert give me so much chills 💖
00:00:00 - Before You Go
00:04:57 - Wish You The Best
00:09:30 - Heavenly Kind Of State Of Mind
00:15:00 - Someone You Loved
I cant wait to stream his new song. It sounds so so good 🤍
I always scroll down first to find a comment like this, thanks.
@@melanovapedia7924 if you watched by the time stamps, you've missed out some good jokes which in contrast with the sadness of the songs made the entire performance even greater. Give a try to the full video. The experience is delightful. ;)
@@rafaelbrito6104 Okay, thanks
This info is already in the video
He’s so freaking talented! The soul! The voice! The mind. Wow
His voice tucks me in like a baby and makes me feel at home ❤🩹
😅😅❤❤
That entire conversational lead into Heavenly Kind of State of Mind was magic.
Wow. That’s the best version of Before You Go I’ve ever heard. The brass, piano, brushes, everything meshed so well
Yeah it’s breathtaking
I lost my mom a few weeks ago. The first track has me in tears. Beautiful work man. Definitely following and listening to your music now. Thx
Sending you all the love. I see you ❤
as much as I love his music, I really wish Lewis can do a stand up set! he is hilarious 😂
I was not ready for Lewis Capaldi in Tiny Desk but I love it!
ikr had me in tears before we finished the first song and my first coffee. amaze balls.
Lewis is so candid and so Scottish. I adore him.
He is pretty feckin Scottish
Lewis Capaldi is the Songbird of our Century.. he is an amazing artist. Tiny Desk Concert X Lewis, that's next level.
"What can I say about the next song? Well... it's three minutes long."
I love him.
He truly is a unique talent...The TinyDesk setting suits him perfectly. I could listen to him banter in between songs forever.
The horns are reminiscent of The National. Such a beautiful touch.
I dig that Lewis made us laugh, maybe so we didn’t wind up as heaps of emotionally guarded human puddles.
What I was thinking
Well put ❤
So I'm a grown man ... And cried. This is an emotional rollercoaster of a set... I've laughed, cried, sang along,(the only song I knew) , laughed again! Man this is moving. Somewhere inside me needed this set.
@@stefanoconsiglio3177 Well said. Totally with you.
Shoutout to the tiny desk sound team. Amazing job as ALWAYS. What a performance.
His voice truly might be one of the greatest of our generation. I cant think of anyone else that generates that much power through the entire range of their voice.
The best way to experience your favorite artist (if you can't see them live) .... IS ON TINY DESK! Absolute masterpiece.
This guy is born to be loved
And he could easily switch career to stand up comedy :D
If you haven’t already done this, please read the descriptions on these videos. They’re very good. Everything is so well put together.
What amazes me the most is the melody. Noone mentions it, but it's such a crazy thing. He has made like 10 exceptional melodies...
Lewis Capaldi is a great composer, singer and human being. Glad to see him performing here. The stripped down versions with brass arrangements surprised me in the best possible way. ❤
The audio techs absolutely smashed this 🙌
The most honest down to earth performers I can remember in my 60 years , love his voice, love his attitude to fame...
He is such a rare talent and i love his quirky dorkiness. It is so real. And so is his crazy talent. And i thought the sound and the band was amazing and Lewis Capaldi’s writing singing and playing is brilliant. ❤
You can feel that his truth comes from the inside, he’s an amazing person and a unique singer 🤍
I just love the fact that NOTHING about his personality has anything to do with the crazy raw and professionally styled talent he has in him. Dude legit does the OPPOSITE of bragging about it. What a guy
What a great way to start the day ❤
That's what I was thinking. ❤
The emotions his voice brings out🫠🫠
This guy is a treasure, his charisma and jokes are so wholesome. Not to mention his music is amazing.
I’m not sure why but CZcams started feeding me Lewis Capaldi stuff about a year ago and everything I see from or about him, I love. Tiny Desk seems to capture the purest and most honest parts of musicians and I couldn’t be happier that Lewis is now on that list.
y'all i was shocked at how short 18 minutes of lewis capaldi being on tiny desk will be. i need more 😭
The vibrato at the beginning of each chorus where he sings the word “love” is absolutely flawless
There's only one Lewis Capaldi...a cut above everyone else! Quite unique!
still needing a Paolo Nutini Tiny Desk Concert
Tiny Desk ALWAYS knows how to surprise! Love this!
A very rare example of someone who can " sing our silences . " Brilliantly brave and " up front . "
This legend has Vocal range, emotional intonation & unparalleled authenticity. Blessed that his talents have been shared.
Wow, 2 left-handed musicians; this is quite exceptional :) !
Great live and great artist !
What a lovely chemistry between melancholy and hope. Brilliant performance.
I love NPR's audio engineer work. It's always a pleasure to see how can this guy balance everything so smoothly
my lawddddd, I loved the horns arrangement 👌👌👌
Heavenly Kind Of State Of Mind has been my favorite new song so far! Can’t wait to hear it on the album!
Another classic, Tiny Desk always gives the most chilling performances
This is perhaps the best thing I’ve ever seen and I’m only one song in! What a guy!!!
Man has the pipes like no tomorrow. He can belt his heart out
never knew of him until i saw him twice as an opening act for bastille and sam smith. i was instantly drawn to his incredible voice and he was also one of the most entertaining opening acts i‘ve ever seen 😂
This is the kind of video that touches your soul. Lewis is magnificent.
Absolutely beautiful and currently I'm going through a rough time in my relationship. Lost my granma who was my mother and throughout the year all i do is cry. Most time silently. Most of my life has been filled with trauma and loss. Im 23 right now and I dont want pity or anything but I hope one day my heart will be okay. Thank you Lewis, your music keeps me aflaot. This tiny desk is beautiful. It allowed me to calm down right now as I having a depressive episode and I felt empty. Your voice and personality warmed me up.
Sending you a warm hug and understanding. Hope your heart is healing.
Absolutely outstanding voice (and probably safe to say lovely human as well) who shines even brighter in a setting like this. And I love that his accent doesn't disappear while singing.
Chills all over. Every. Time. Lewis' voice is so unique and his performances are always so authentic. I'm happy he gets the recognition he deserves
Tiny Desk making every song sound better as usual 🙌
absolutely incredible, imagine being able to sing like that live, god bless Lewis Capaldi!
I've been longing to see Lewis at Tiny Desk, such a talent and treasure. Always happy to hear him sing live, and his singing has really improved since his debut. I'd like to think he was thinking of Chris Martin when he laughed during his last song
so proud of him i could cry
“Heavenly State of Mind” is such a beautiful song. I’m sure so many can relate with finding that one person that comes in and saves you from yourself.
Can’t wait for the new album !
this before you go version is perfect, the symphony is beautiful, the band really killed it wow 10/10
3:00 pm. I love Lewis, he is my all time favourite singer pro-former. He is nothing but pure talent. I am a 68 year old grandmother but love todays music. I went to see Lewis in April this year and he was just simply amazing. Hope he comes back to the U.S.when he is ready. I would see him again. Love you Lewis.
Super. Great to hear Glasgow getting a name check in such fantastic ,moving music. What a voice. So good to see him on tiny desk - THE place for real music.
Henrik Larsson 💪💪💪
Lewis is a real talent. Love the Tiny Desk set up. Everyone crammed in the corner of the office, mic and keyboard stacked on books, and it all sounds ad good as a fancy studio. Nice job NPR and Lewis.
He captures emotions so well, and paints beautiful pictures with his words.
What a tender/powerful voice. Insane.
Lewis has been one of my absolute favorite artists since he came on the scene. Love everything about him!
His personality, his humor, the ache in his voice… AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT VOICE!!?? ❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️
I love Lewis Capaldi. Love his voice - so full of emotion. I love his songs. I love his humor. I love his down to earth-ness. And he’s adorable.
"Heavenly Kind of state of mind" in its best version. HOW AMAZING! The trumpets, the feeling - pure Chills!
