I have alot of memories of listening to their music. Nostalgia

Ive always loved Noah and the Whale, but their album The First Day of Spring, especially Blue Skies, got me through a breakup. Will always hold a special place.

It was same for me. It was a very painful separation but helped me unsderstand my emotions. For 5 years my door was open but I understood I had to let go to keep on living.

NATW got me through some of the toughest times I’ve had and I seriously thank their existence for me still being here

Their first album, Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down is about falling in love First Days of Spring is about that love breaking and Last Night on Earth is about moving on. I'm a sucker for heartbreak, so First Days of Spring is always going to be my favorite, but it's only as good as it is because it's the second act in an amazing trilogy. Deliberate or not.

Noah and the whale are way underrated!!

I just love the tiny smile of the guy with the violin

They both look like they're genuinely enjoying themselves. Especially the guy on the violin, always smiling. So adorable.

noah and the whale....u guys don't know how much ur songs mean to me. it's been a while. and when I saw ur face here I instantly started to cry. thank you for filling in wholly some of the greatest moments in my yesteryears. really . ur soul of despair is is the sweetest sound to be surrounded with.

his voice is so effortless

this is such a perfect tiny desk... i loved Noah and the Whale's music as a teen but this is the performance I come back to time and time again. It feels so good.

Watching this again after a while and it's great see how the excitement on the violinists face during the first song.

So many memories with their beautiful songs…💙

They are ADORABLE. Great vocals and instrumentals. I cant believe I haven't head of them before!?! God where have I been? way too underrated

@Steven Bennett I'm indeed still enjoying blue skies since going on medication in November. I see my brilliant counsellor once a month and am 'doing the work' to undo decades of negative thinking. Are you enjoying blue skies, Steven? I love this community that this beautiful song has created.

seeing how much Tom's career has changed but that even in Gang of Youths he's still playing that violin makes me so happy

His voice is absolutely lovely.

Nothing but nostalgia.

It’s great to see Tom (violinist) playing with Gang of Youths nowadays, he did great work on their last album

makes me so happy and relaxed

Thank you NPR Tiny Desk for introducing me to this spectacular band! My fragmented soul needed some defragmentation, and this suited the job well.

“I’ll do anything... to be happy”

Your so welcome... Its amazing!!!

amazing musicians, beautiful songs.

Simply beautiful

Beautiful...young delicious flavor...Fantastic Live in 2009, sweet days of spring!!!

These guys man ❤️ So talented it really tugs on the heart strings.

I like this concert and the drum machine does not degrade it in the least in my opinion. If you listened to the album it is Pop-esque and the drum machine lends itself to that for a two man "acoustic" show.

Absolute awesomeness 😊❤️🎶☀️

I like all three songs although I feel “Blue Skies” is a masterpiece and hits me it the feels

how i love this 2 guys!

I love you guys. Thank you for everything. I wish I could have you perform at my wedding in Brazil next year, but one way or another we’ll have your music there. Thanks again.

I love Noah and the whale! I miss them❤️

Awesome! Wow, his voice is so solid. Really amazing music :)

No negativity. These guys are grand(:

The way Tom smiles during the chorus is what music is all about.

miss them saw them at Warwick Uni brilliant band

Charlie's so beautiful its unreaaaal.

"On my last night on Earth, I'll pay a high price To have no regrets and be done with my life" . That might be my thought in my early youth as I would remember. That might describe what I've become. (Extremely aware of reality and doing what I'm supposed to do)

how come i didnt know this band sooner
