- Close your eyes and listen, and you might imagine someone who looks a bit like Otis Redding. Open them, and you're likely to see someone who looks more like your neighborhood bank teller.
That man standing on my desk in the golden shoes is Paul Janeway. He was, in fact, a bank teller in Alabama not long ago - and this stupendous seven-piece band from Birmingham has only been doing this since 2012. But take a look at this Tiny Desk Concert and you'll see why St. Paul And The Broken Bones' music is so winning. It's got heart and soul and flair, with a well-worn sound buoyed by strong, fresh songwriting. -- BOB BOILEN
Set List:
"Half The City"
"Call Me"
"Broken Bones And Pocket Change"

Hallelujah brothers and sisters! I threw my crutches to the floor. Stood up. Took a step and did a face plant. Loved the music even from down there.

+Kate Mitchell Goosebumps from head to toe every time....Tears of pure happiness in my eyes. Let's see pop radio do that. Such an amazing band!
+Kate Mitchell Me too! I stumbled upon this video clip and I'm loving it :-D
Greetings to you, Kate Mitchell! I hope this video of SPATBB still moves you like it did 6 months ago. THIS is indie music at it's best. I loved your initial comment! Lotsa SOUL - for sure! Wishing you peaceful contentment.
It's actually your heart that pumps blood.
You're welcome
my favorite genre of Tiny Desk concerts is "Singer standing on desk"
I knew this would be good when I saw a man standing ON the tiny desk
I like your thinking. A rule to live by.
I saw a man in GOLD shoes on the tiny desk and I knew it was gonna be a gem.
Lol same
Exactly what I thought , gotta see what this man has to offer
then you saw them gold shoes like aaawwwwww shhhheeeeiiiittt here we go
I saw them in February when they played at an old church turned into a museum/concert venue. Genuinely one of the best shows i've ever seen. Paul sounds like he eats instruments to gain their musical power.
Did you see them at the church in denver ??
the church is an edm venue. was it mr. smalls in pittsburgh?
lol goat comment.. sooo accurate
Otis Redding begged God to go back. God said, "sure, but there's a few conditions."
now that's funny
Thats good.
I was looking for the answer, and Yes the answer is Otis ,
Thank you lord ! This is awesome
You're white with a touch of yellow when you come back
Internet gold on that response right there.
Who seasoned this mans chicken?
HAHAHA🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

My Momma would have loved this!! Boy Singing his ass off, she would say Baby that's that Low down blues right there!!!! Salute!!!!!
Tony Weaver gotta love how music can bring us together no matter race or creed.
reading this made me smile, i’m sure your mom is an amazing woman.
Seen him live in New Orleans, he crawled under the stage rug and threw his shoes at the drummer. Needless to say he was very deep in his music. By far the best live performance I have ever been in attendance. He feels the music and moves the audience emotionally.
5 years ago on a whim bought tickets he rolled himself up in the rug. Praise the lord
He’s too much for me. Kind of a showboat.
@@michaelbyrd524 i can understand that sorta.
@@michaelbyrd524 He is who he is unapologetically. If something makes you uncomfortable it's an opportunity to look inside and discover why. Wish you the best bro.
@@michaelbyrd524 my brother in Christ, if you sang like this you too would roll yourself up in a carpet. My man is not a showboat, he’s fighting off the spirit taking over his body and providing us with this beautiful music.
How am I just hearing these guys for the first time? I found them on Spotify like a week ago. Brilliant.
You have no idea how good they are. Especially live.
I just discovered them today!😢
Oh I’m sorry
Saw them Sunday. They are incredible live. Been to loads of concerts, but I was smiling ear to ear during this one.
2022 - still hitting hard
2023 here. Same.
2024 bangin
His voice matches his shoes.
And his teeth
lmfao @flipe
best comment up here! lol
Meanwhile, you're sitting in your mom's basement being a nobody @ filipe.
This black man has very light skin

Sandor M ya. I mean he's like Otis reincarnated as a white man.
Otis and Al Green
And really cool gold shoes too
That Smoke Alarm must be broke cause that was fire.
Just wanted to say that this band has been the unchallenged favorite for my toddler. He’s only two and is very fickle about if he’ll even tolerate the Wiggles, Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger, Super Simple Songs, etc etc and gets easily bored with other “adult” music (Led Zepplin is up there but still hit or miss with him), but this band-something about it just makes him so happy, even when he’s having a tantrum. He bounces and punches the air when he’s listening to this video and has done so for about a year.
So congrats, you have the approval of the world’s pickiest music critic.
Have you tried Fitz & The Tantrums? Such a fun journey with the little one!
Love this! ❤
Awe that's so awesome!!
You better SANG THAT SONG PAUL! I love your sound and I am NOW a NEW FAN FOREVER!
I can't believe idiots are complaining about the sound being to black! Amy Winehouse and so many others are LEGENDS with their voices and music! Music has NO COLOR! Keep SINGING your HEARTS OUT!
+Octoberrain Dixon I agree and love your attitude! Wish everyone would see it that way!
+Octoberrain Dixson I feel you 100%, good music is good music. On another note, as a white man, I wish I could sing "too black" lol. I grew up on Otis and Sam Cooke and Smokey Robinson and all the greats. This man has SOUL. No way around it.
+Sgt StickyTits nice name haha
+Octoberrain Dixson Its not black its soul. a feeling that you cant see.
+Sgt StickyTits However Soul is very rare amongst white people thats what makes this so great !!
He invited to the cookouts
Ashley Turner and he can say the blessing! Lol
Lord jesus yes! 🙋
Amen to that
you can't afford him :]
Was that a Terrell reference?! 🙌
I feel like Paul Janeway and Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes) are destined to collaborate in at least one song for the good of mankind.
Also Daryl Hall
Dude, yes.
They’re good friends, so it could happen! Saw the two bands together in Tuscaloosa @ The Bama Theatre.....I thought the plaster was coming off the ceiling that night! 😎
Yes, please!
@@tommathews3964 ...Dear 7 lb 6 oz Baby Jesus,please make this happen.
Broken Bones And Pocket Change, makes me think i've ran out of tears by the end of it, every single time. this mans voice and his band are just incredible.
It's my favorite version of that song, no doubt!!! Just incredible, gives me chills every time.
When he said "sad song", I thought it was gonna be a "sad song", not a "crush your soul into a million little pieces song"... aww shit.
I would normally think it´s rude to stand on the table but, nah, he´s cool. He can stand on the table. There is nothing cleaner than a pair of golden shoes and a broken spirit.
David James you just wrote a song right there!
Ha ha. Spot on!
Amen!
Lol yes!
You cannot teach soul. This man oozes soul from his pores. Love this band and cant wait for covid to end so I can see them live.
This is absolutely unbelievable! I had no idea Alan Carr could sing like that.
I was thinking ´I recognise this man'q
I believe the technical term for what he's doing is preaching. Message received.
I have been listening to soul music since the late Seventies. These boys cut the mustard 100%
Pure soul pouring out from this band I can listen to them jam out every minute of my life. I’m still listening to this set in 2022
It's a go to for certain. When you need one hellova lift
To people listening to this for the first time, there's no way you expected that voice from that lead singer, right?
0:00 - Half The City
3:57 - Call Me
7:29 - Broken Bones And Pocket Change
"Is it hot? Nah man we from Alabama" 😂😂😂
The is one of the realest things that's ever been said on Tiny Desk.
This is one of the absolute best tiny desk concerts I've ever seen
I've never seen such a passionate, emotional performance by a vocalist from my generation. I'm an early 80's baby. Stuff like this doesn't exist anymore and it's sad. This dude genuinely was feeling every ounce of what's coming out of his mouth and whoever said he's faking it, or imitating is ignorant and is just envious of what they can never do. Music has been around since before Christ, so musicians are obviously going to be influenced by other musicians. Music wouldn't exist as a major in college if this wasn't so. Amazing performance. WOW!
I come from Iran, So English is not my language. But your voice and your people just made a straight way into my hart :). Beautiful, Just Beautiful..... GOOD LUCK
@Erik Lilly Yes Brother :) We have a saying. What Comes from Hart sits on other hart just as easily
Enjoy brother, may beautiful music find you through your life 👍
Hope you are doing well here! I think music is on of our best attributes.
Hi, can you recommend any music from Iran for us to listen to? I've heard a little Persian music before and liked it. Let's make this exchange of culture a two way thing :D
سلام
Spread the word! And one day we might have a chance to hear the equivalent Iranian jump up tunes on NPR. I have had the pleasure of being exposed to artistry and groove through NPR's window and if the hat fits I'm sure they'll wear it. There's your mission... Cheers
From 10:00 - 11:00 is the most soulful heart-rending performance I've ever seen. If he's faking it then he needs an Oscar tied to a Grammy. This guy is a force of nature. I hear a lot of comparisons to Otis Redding and Al green. He has a similar voice, and it's that damn good. Not to mention these aren't covers. These are their original songs that make you want to play them again again. I'm so happy I found this.
cannot do more than agree, what a powerful performance he does!! and the whole band just made great music for our generation.
I don't think I've ever seen nor heard such a soulful and meaningful minute in my whole entire life!!!!!
I was wondering if they were covers, absolutely gorgeous
10:23 is where you realize this man truly lives the music he sings. Absolutely amazing!!
MY GOD! Anyone say, “goosebumps from head to toe”?! NEVER expected that voice and soul coming from that man. Another reason why I love NPR Tiny Desk... I will absolutely see these guys if they are ever within 500 miles! SING it... I feel GOD!!! WooHOO!
Thank you, thank you, thank you NPR for bringing this band into my life. Faith in music with true soul and style restored.
Braden Davie yaaaaaassssssss 🔥🔥
"nah man we from Alabama" charmed me right off my feet
Meccabullock happy to say 2 years after you commented this I was the 300th person to like your comment
Just found this performance, years later... and I can tell you that it first gave me chills; then made me get up outta my chair/catching the holy ghost and left me sitting in a puddle of tears, sobbing uncontrollably, hands to the sky. YES, LAWD, I hear you!!!
I gotta come back to this every few months to remember what real music sounds like.
Don't forget!
Woah, Can’t believe I’ve listened to this 5.2 million times already
He is singing *ON* the tiny desk...nice.
almost off it once or twice...
Cause hes an egotistical asshole probably.
Matthew Horizon agreed lol
I hope it is a strong desk🤣
😂
I've been listening to this concert since it was on TH-cam. But everytime, when they play broken bones and pocket change, I just need to close my eyes and fully absorb the soul this band has to offer. Goosebumps, truly goosebumps.
10:15-10:30 is the most emotional combination of musical accompaniment and vocals I think I have ever heard. Right after “down on my knees”.... the response to that call right after gives me chills and brought me to tears the first five times I watched this. Holy freakin soul music right here, boy.
I was in high school band with the trombonist, Ben. Where did I go wrong?! LOL Good to see he's doing well.
I MADE AN TH-cam ACCOUNT JUST BECAUSE I WANTED I WRITTEN AS A COMMENT THAT THIS MAN HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH THE STRONGEST VOICE SINCE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. LORD HAVE MERCY UPON ME THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC MAY YOU HAVE YEARS TO COME OF JOY
I was literally not paying attention when the AutoPlay put this on...I ran in the Room and my Jaw dropped Thank U Quarantine
Life long soul and blues fan . This broke me. Never seen anything this good.
"Is it hot up there?"
"Nah man we from Alabama"
"There" not "their".. but yehhhh it aint' sh*t for a Bama boy.. lol
Hey grammar snob... that's how they spell they're, there from Bama. Step off.
they do it wrong then
Tiny desk is where I come to rest my heavy head and repose my unsettled and inconstant soul.
The acoustics of the Tiny Desk recordings are phenomenal and deserve a shout-out. Across several musicians I have compared the Tiny Desk acoustics/recordings are quite superior to their recording studio counterparts.
Last night they played the Hollywood Bowl Fest. Dude came off stage into crowd for some electric performanceship. He had a Black woman fall out. The voice sounds like a mix of Terrence Trent Darby and Otis Redding. Excellent job from these Alabama lads. A pleasant surprise.
whoever mastered and edited the audio on this performance deserves an award. Well done work behind the scenes NPR :)
Mister Opioid it's great right !?
All of these concerts just sound incredible
THIS MAN BLEW MY GOLDEN SOCKS OFF
Lololol
With as many people that have started watching Tiny Desk concerts during the COVID pandemic...I really with NPR would re-release some of these older concerts, bring them back to the top of the queue, and get them some more exposure!
This song played right after I just played Durand Jones and the Indications. I was in my apartment cleaning not even paying attention. I could have sworn this was Otis Redding lol I had to sit down and watch him perform. My God what a voice!!! Really caught me off guard!
I've been playing music for 30 years at least I'm telling you that man can sing I was a fan the first 3 seconds
Same
Same same same
👏👏👏👏
E. Lee thanks, I couldn’t tell from listening, I needed a 30 music vet to tell me that. I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy day of playing music to tell us this.
@@defstrikem2743 Hahaha
@@defstrikem2743 goes straight to sarcastic compliments bc although he also has 30 years experience the only instrument he can play is the skin flute

Can we get him and Leon Bridges together please! I'm a fan of Leon but now I'm feeling this guy a lot.
+Makiyah Jackson haha just went from leon bridges to this. great idea :)
+Dan Nunez same!!!
+Makiyah Jackson You should check out Lee Fields.
Check out Marc Broussard and Lamont Landers.
That would be EPIC!
STILL MY FAVORITE TINY DESK, EVER. I keep comin' back!
Npr tiny music desk is the best live music show I know. I've found so much amazing music through this show, and the intimacy of these sets are unparalleled. Just amazing
9:57 - 11:00 make me bawl every time. I mean.....God damn. This man sings like he's had his heart ripped out and set on fire in front of him. I have never heard a thing like it before.
It's no joke.
You have to see him live. He just commands the stage and puts on such an incredible performance. It's crazy good.
I was just staring at my screen in disbelief. D.A.M.N
I know this was a year ago but I direct your attention to Mr. Otis Redding and Mr. Sam Cooke. Then you'll see where his "voice" originated from.
Kelsey Poyer oh god I wish I knew where he performed live, I'd literally fly out just to watch him
Damn it. Paul made me cry during Broken Bones and Pocket Change. I'm in love.
amen sister! Powerful
+Roxy Beautiful song!
+Roxy he has a way of doing that
Roxy he got me too
All I know is that during that song, something got in my eyes, which resulted in my rubbing them, and as a result, water fell out of them. Thats my story, and im sticking to it!
I just love NPR Tiny desks concerts
If you don't feel this in your soul you're dead inside. Amazing set
Alabama....gold teeth, gold shoes and SOUL.
ROTFLMBO!!! GOLD TEETH....I was thinking the same thing...I can't watch. I just listened and enjoyed...
I'm dying 😂😂😂😂
i'm going to keep all comments to myself while I laugh silently in my head...
You would trade your whites in to sing like this dude...don't lie, lol
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha
Otis lives!! and every thing in between.... Great Art!! Great Soul!!! Thank you guys for what you do!!!!!
Love the gold shoes! What a voice, a white Otis
Ever notice how only truly talented people make it on tiny desk? It's like a little bullshit filter. I wish they had a radio station.
well... National Public Radio is an American privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization that serves as a national syndicator to a network of 900 public radio stations in the United States of America.
so gucci mane is a truly talented individual..?
SILOETTE100page 🍦Burrr
lmao
Am going down the Mountain Jam performer list. I'll be seeing this guy in June in the Catskills along with Tom Petty and Steve Miller. Shaping up to be an action packed festival.
Saw them live this summer. Two hours of goosebumps I'm not even kidding.
The room was too small for this man's singing! The ceiling seemed to tell him "hold up bro we're not ready for this!"
One of the best Tiny Desk performances I have watched..Wow..just pure soul and the band sounds awesome !
I think I'm the reason for a few thousand of the 5.2 million views of this video! I come back to it often when I need some humanity put back into my life.
Talent is not an ethnic or color, or a family thing to prove who has it, some have it, some don't, so I just appreciate it no matter who has the God-given Gift.!! Sing it and I will listen again and again. Good Luck Kids on your career!!
This is my all time #1 Tiny Desk concert. I just keep revisiting. It gets better every time.
I heard this group three years ago, for the first time. I was so moved by their performance that I literally sobbed! Can't get enough of them, now..
Half The City - 0:00
Call Me - 3:46
Broken Bones And Pocket Change - 7:29
If you ain't sweating that hard during a performance, you ain't trying hard enough
I’m so sad I only learned about this band this week, the vibes this guy gives off is incredible really pouring his soul into it
Quite literally the most amazing performance I have seen in years and years. Maybe ever. Blown away
I'm without words. I had never heard of St. Paul and The Broken Bones until today. My laptop randomly played this NPR set. This is amazing. Otis Redding and some of the other greats would be pleased. For those people that say there is no more great music...I say "hogwash!" You just have to know where to find it or by blessed by the TH-cam randomizer. LOL
I've been telling my friends and family that for years. There's all kinds of good music, if you're willing to find it. If you just listen to the radio in the car, forget it. That's how it was when I was growing up. Radio, vinyl, 8-tracks - and finally the relative freedom of cassettes. But only real music fans played music on multiple formats. Most people weren't rocking reel-to-reels and studio speakers. There was good music, but we all knew the same good music. We all heard the same terrible music, too. We don't have to suffer bad music any more! Find what you like on the internet, it's all out there.
Peace and good music to you, Isaiah Merriweather.
10:14 GodDAMN! I almost started shouting like I was in church, tears springing to my eyes!
That’s the Holy Spirit taking over right there! Somebody pass the offering bucket, I need to drop my life savings in!!!!!
Paul Janeaway has a God given voice and was born with soul. He's amazing talent and I've seen him four times. Phenomenal band
First time ever sitting down and listening to the whole show… I’ve only clicked it by accident all the time and skipped it and now I’m kinda going thru something and idk how to deal w it so I’m stuck here repeating it right after “broken bones and pocket change” gets applauded and Yeahh done it 5 times so far
that mans passion made me cry.
So I just got to open for these dudes....winning
R J dope
And they opened for the stones
That's awesome dude keep grinding man get yourself a tiny desk of your own!
Thank you Tiny Desk! Never heard anything from this artist before and he is just pure gold! Well done 👍🏾
After watching this precious performance I came back to believe in the love of human beings.
Speechless!!!
Strong hug from Brazil!!!
Beloved blessed human beings
I saw this band open for John Mayer in Tuscaloosa, he came out and blew everyone away with those pipes, my girlfriend and I were speechless, an amazing bamd with an amazing talent from my home town
I hear Otis Redding, I see Alan Carr!
fsyeah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAJAJAJAJ YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAJAJAJAJ
fsyeah that dress like Eton John
Lol
lmao what i also see is Lester Crest from GTA5
lol thats who he reminds me of .
Going on 7 years since finding them, and still everyday watch this !
"I populated half the city, child
But I still can't find no love
Somebody has to heal me, lord
"
one of my favorite lyrics of all time
I saw them in concert recently and let me tell you it was ELECTRIC! Man you could feel the energy in that room. Wow. Just wonderful. Good stuff.
