Please tiny desk have him back for another! his work was already phenomenal in this recording, and my how it has deepened since then

his music feels like walking down the sidewalk around 5pm, noticing life how captivating can it be. to look at the sky changing colors ,in twilight birds are returning back home ,knowing where you are and where you belong similarly like birds going back home it feels calming.

During all of "The Magician" he kind of looks like he's been in a chase scene, running from the cops and he's found shelter momentarily, and is trying to blend in with the house band, but is ready to drop the guitar and book it at any moment when the authorities bust in.... also great performance.

Oh Andy is such a gem. He has such a unique way of putting scenarios together.

Thank you thank you Andy I will always adore you for being able to accurately capture such emotions as felt in 'The Worst In You' when I was very insecure and with the wrong person in my life.

His voice is unique and entrancing, and his songs are just great. One of my favorite artists. Neon Skyline is a masterpiece.

I love "To you" so much. Such a relatable mellow song.

Saw him preform The Party freshly after a break up in 2016, one of the most emotional shows I've ever been too. His lyrics helped me heal a lot.

His songs are so peaceful but unsettling, so familiar, so thought-provoking.

Does it though? I always thought To You was from the perspective of an entirely different person. Quite Like You is from the perspective of the person in love with Sherry, where Jeremy is in the way of that love. In To You, the object of affection is Jeremy, rather than Sherry, so I always took it as another partygoer professing their love.

i always felt that "quite like you" and "begin again" were the better pairing, encompassing the same characters in both songs and taking place one after the other.

I've never through it to be the same from quite like you, but maybe it is, idk.

I wish there’d be a clarinet player with them. It’s so great ❤

These songs are beautiful and raw. But I am SO VERY confused. He sings with a speech impediment. But he does not speak with one. I have NEVER heard anything like that ever. I've heard the opposite many times, but this makes his lyrics, in a bizarre way, seemingly more honest, gentle, sweet and compassionate. The word "meek" comes to mind. I love this so much.
