I ran into Elena at a music festival a few years ago and asked for a picture together. She offered to take the photo for us and was giggling the same exact way you see in this video. Then I told her "You don't act like your music," and she went "Oh, um. Depressed...!" making a teardrops-down-my-face gesture with her fingers. I died.

I've never heard them before this, so this is my first time being exposed to them. She gives me the first impression that she has had a rough past, as many have. Being awkward and probably different from everyone she's known, never knowing where she fit. But then she found that she loses herself in her music - as you said, I get the sense that she is still that same awkward girl, never really fitting in, but that now she is ok with it, and has, in a sense, found that her "place" is not having a place. She loves her music and is at home there - she just visits us out here in the real world when she's not playing.

When i went to watch them live at Pukkelpop (Belgian Festival) a couple of years ago, they arrived 45 minutes late. Nearly half the people had already left the tent when they finally showed up. Apparently their instruments were lost on the plain to Belgium. They eventually managed to borrow some guitars from a helpful band also attending the festival, and had to improvise on the drums or something iirc. The performance was a magical and pure moment, in the middle of the heat & busyness of an 80.000 people festival. When they played Youth, which was their only well-known song at the time, Elena started to lose her voice a bit, overwhelmed by emotion, while the small crowd completely took over for her. One of the best live experiences in my life.

First heard daughter in 2012, I saw them live in 2013... I also happened to meet her after the show. She is one of the sweetest and humble artists I have met

she is so beautiful, inside and out.

I love Daughter so much it hurts

End of 2021 and still loving listening to this. Probably have listened to this fully about 30+ times by now

So underrated, the voice, the anthem, the lyrics absolutely amazing, feels like heaven on earth especially the first track.

I cried, I can really see her sadness when she sings. The soon she sings, it's like she immediately pulls back into her memories. Of the times she was hurt, she was alone and sad. The way she looks when she says "i hate you" in landfill, and the look in her eyes around 5:00... i got very emotional. Also they are such incredibly shy people and I love that they did this performance I feel like it may took some courage of her. I saw them live and they were incredibly cute to see. Elena was so shy she couldn't look the public in the eye during the concert at all. She and (I suspect boyfriend) Igor kept making eye contact during the show and smiled cutesy to each other. It was endearing to see.

I get a little droplet of a tear in the corner of my eye every time I hear this band. Gorgeous, gorgeous music.

"We are just awkward people!" I felt that, deep down in me

When I first heard youth I knew this was gonna be my favorite band.

Since discovering Neil Young and his big music catalogue over 25 years ago, I haven't been as excited hearing of a new band like Daughter about 2 years ago. I discovered them while searching for similar bands like Wildes, with "Bare" being my favorite song of theirs. The music of Daughter matches my soul frequency. If it was made of glass it would break. It feels like their music is made just for me. Amazing and beautiful arrangements in its simplicity and with a deep sensitivity. Great lyrics and voice. Very special for me. It's the pauses and single notes and words that matter. They've perfected it and I'm very glad I've discovered them. Too bad they put out only so few albums.

I saw Daughter this past weekend in Boston. I spent the entire concert engrossed in Elena.. she is captivating, beautiful, and so fragile. The meaning behind each word she sings is insanity at best

Your profile picture looks nice. Digging the beanie man

It's amazing that such shy people choose to give live performances. They seem uncomfortable under the bright lights.

Sean W Connor I think something beneficial about live performances like these is that you get to see the band or artist as is, not behind a bunch of highly produced recordings. Although I love the music, and will always appreciate it, I also like to see the artist, it feels more intimate

Kyle O'Connor I agree. I much prefer the unplugged, intimate performance. It's the best way to gauge the artist's true talent.

+oldwhtman Regardless of how shy someone is, adrenaline is adrenaline and there is a standard on NPR for flawless, contained performances. They really only allow artists they know are classy and have self control on the show.

I'm late to comment, but this is the most genuine way to play. Doesn't give a feeling of an act. There's genuinity in their music.

Heartbreaking and healing all at once. Been coming back for years, thank you for giving us this masterpiece, Tiny Desk.

"we're just awkward people..." awkwardly LOVELY

It's rare that an artist's live is just as stellar as their studio version... this is one of those moments.

She is just immeasurably cute.

My favorite thing is how Elena almost sounds like she's singing through gritted teeth. Like she sees all the bad things that happen and inside is a torrent of emotion that shines through so well in their music and lyrics, but their performance is so restrained and composed. It's beautiful.

Her laugh in the end. Goddammit. AGHGHH I'm dead.

hans tonra@ agree. what does she say?

Seen them live twice and cried both times. Elena pours her heart out and it hits me in my soul.

This is what talent sounds like.

That awkward,quiet, soft, "Thanks..." at 4:10 *Swooon...*

in the landfill song, the drummer was doing the things! well done drummer person, you nailed the drum things!!! :)

Every once in a while I come here, just to forget life for a while... Truly amazing performance from Daughter.
