Ben Howard, India Bourne, Ben Lovett and the lads from Bear's Den are there because they're all with the Communion label that Ben Lovett set up. Great song :)
I’ve come back to this song for years.. and it satisfies every time. Thank you staves and sideshow alley! If your ever in TN HMU!! I’ve got a couple of alleys in my home town that would be great!
It must be really magical to watch and hear them live on top of the building; where the string lights light up the skies, and soothing voices echo in the air.
Ideas hang before me Oh, but a breath away They flicker into being And then begin to fade And when I'm tired of sitting I drag my bones to bed And when I'm tired of sleeping I think of them instead They're only words Don't have to shout to be heard I have not seen the light, for days Like icarus before me These wings are not my own And I am soaring skyward Just to tumble home Moment has gone I'm not the best at moving on Nothing to say, no one would listen anyway Anyway I have not seen the light, for days Ooooo... I have not seen the light, for days I have not seen the light, for days And nights, for days
So pure and beautiful. Staves are one of my favorite bands. Jess in particular always makes everything look and sound so effortless and ingrained. They are too sophisticated for the general public I guess. Shame because they are world class.
Their harmonies are gorgeous. I bought their album for my sister for Christmas, but I'm having a really hard time wrapping it up and sending it her way -- I'm very much tempted to keep it for myself.
This video/performance leaves me speechless. The 3 part harmonies are impeccable. Jess's lead vocals are beyond moving and beautiful. And the song is just brilliant. I hum/sing it constantly. It's addictive. Girls, thanks for sharing your gifts!
love u sisters wish you were my age and went to my school. I would of went to music class if any of us were in my year. still would. voices are beautiful.xxx my favourite is icarus.
These young women have proper girly English voices. They all sing very sweetly without being saccharine . When they sing harmony they sound absoutely delightful . This style of singing is a very refreshing change and indeed an antidote to ROCK !!
I bet they filmed this session during Communion's Austin to Boston earlier this year. The Staves, Ben Howard, Bear's Den and Nathaniel Rateliff were on the line-up for that.
im trying to say that its perfect with all its imperfections. i mean sure the staves are great with studio recorded music too but i prefer this personally.
This may be a dumb question. But which is the girl with the bangs? I look at her and she looks nothing like any of thr girls from say the crypst sessions.. Years apart maybe? Idk. But its been driving me mad tryna figure it out
this is the song that instantly made me fall in love with the staves
I just stumbled upon this video and saw your comment! love this songggg
For me it was In 'The Long Run'
@@jonstone6862 Yes! Me as well. That song started it all for me and it's still one of my favorites. Icarus, Motherlode round out the top 3 for me.
Same. I heard them a while back and the other version they recorded in the park was the first version I heard. I love this song so, so much.

Can three women and a guitar conquer the world? ... YUP!!!
Ben Howard + the staves = pure lovely stuff
It must be really magical to watch and hear them live on top of the building; where the string lights light up the skies, and soothing voices echo in the air.
Making a winter's night in NYC feel like a sunny summer's afternoon in a Cornish orchard
Music likes this really makes me appreciate what I have in life. How can I not be satisfied.
Beauty personified in every way imaginable.
The Staves, Bear's Den, Mumford and Sons and Ben Howard and his crew were all on one roof!
Please 🙏 come to Leesburg Virginia! You guys could stay with us! ( no pressure)
We're a couple hours from the Luray Caverns! It has a special piano tuned to crystals! They play music !!!! It's awesome!
Ideas hang before me
Oh, but a breath away
They flicker into being
And then begin to fade
And when I'm tired of sitting
I drag my bones to bed
And when I'm tired of sleeping
I think of them instead
They're only words
Don't have to shout to be heard
I have not seen the light, for days
Like icarus before me
These wings are not my own
And I am soaring skyward
Just to tumble home
Moment has gone
I'm not the best at moving on
Nothing to say, no one would listen anyway
Anyway
I have not seen the light, for days
Ooooo...
I have not seen the light, for days
I have not seen the light, for days
And nights, for days
Thank you for doing this-putting down the lyrics! :) Terri
The way Jess closes the song at the end......incredible her voice/style.
So pure and beautiful. Staves are one of my favorite bands. Jess in particular always makes everything look and sound so effortless and ingrained. They are too sophisticated for the general public I guess. Shame because they are world class.
Fully agreed.
Love the Gibson, the song, these sisters.
Their harmonies are gorgeous. I bought their album for my sister for Christmas, but I'm having a really hard time wrapping it up and sending it her way -- I'm very much tempted to keep it for myself.
Buy more! Seems like a good solution to me! Nice of you to get this for your sis!
First Time I came across the staves. I love them. Actual angels in human human form.
'Heavenly Father" Bon Iver in the SOH. Wow. Goosebumps.x
three angels
all my daughters love you and sing all your songs. proud of them they have taste x
Ideas hang before me,
All but a breath away,
They flicker into being
And then begin to fade.

This is my new favourite Staves video, it used to be Jools Holand, facing west. That's feckin fantastic!
I can't get enough of this....so beautiful...
The Staves are the best music out of England I have heard in years...But, there are many great folk singers...Ben Howard, David Gray, etc.
Austin to Boston brought me here and you gals are Outstanding!!!!!
These heavenly waves gently crash through the veil that lightly covers the heart like capsule that encases your very soul. :E
love u sisters wish you were my age and went to my school. I would of went to music class if any of us were in my year. still would. voices are beautiful.xxx my favourite is icarus.

He justs appreciates good music.
