I don't think I've ever seen such a performance where I fell in love with every single artist up there in less than 15 minutes.

My band conductor committed suicide shortly after I left high school. He taught me in 5th grade, 9th through 12th and is a huge reason why I still have my horn today. This put me in tears, I remember that feeling he taught us of totally being in sync with those you are playing with. I see it in every one of these musicians, it is so beautiful.

Just found out about them, and I fell in love There's so much burning passion, but it's pure and humble. It's contagious.

Marfa. Wow. Layers upon layers. So lush.

Gave me so much chills , this is my favourite tiny desk yet, just loved their performance.

Someone in 2021?

God I love this whole performance.

I expected their instruments would catch fire during this performance. Very inspirational.

I have probably come back to this video 30 times, I'm obsessed with them

the ending of Marfa?!?! WOW?!

Those are some beautiful people and this is some beautiful music.

this is liberating - would love to be in this band. freedom.

Verse 1] Bury the marigold underneath the bedroom And you stole two kisses from her lips Tears were shed and morals bled And petals were plucked Something in the heart beat like a drum [Chorus] Is this love? I don't know But tonight I'm gonna find out Is this love? I don't know But tonight I'm gonna find out [Verse 2] We kissed without hesitation, no reservations We dangle our feet from the highest places In the crowd of the sad in the crowd of the mad We are the only smiling faces [Verse 3] Every day and all night 'Til the morning dawn's bright I don't want to see you go And every day and all night Even when you're alright I don't want to let you go

First time I’ve heard these guys and I’m really glad I did bc this is the kind of music I live for
