- Soak in the eclectic mix of acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies of Elephant Revival. This set was recorded with just three Miktek microphones and a direct line out of the bass amp head. Recorded live in Nashville by Music Fog, during the 2011 Americana Music Festival and Conference. musicfog.com
Only discovered this group through their incredible cover of "White Rabbit," but have been amazed by each and every subsequent performance that I'ver seen. THEY are not only incredible - beyond the awesome vocals of Bonnie Paine - but each of the instrumentalists (viola, guitar, bass) are so totally awesome! I clearly need to win the PowerBall so I can bring them to our local venue out in the middle of nowhere !!!!!!!!!!
Check out their cover of Schism.
Same. But I found them after Schizm. I am now in love.
@@JohnBender1313 it was my love of Tool that brought me here too. I can scarcely believe it led me to a band who straddle all the sub-genres of music I typically can't be arsed with, and yet I think they're one of the best bands I've ever heard! 😅
This song has literally become one of my all time favorite songs.
You can feel such a restrained power from ER. It's is intense.
In this moment, I truly believe this is the best song ever written!
This song is an absolute masterpiece
This band is my new addiction. Love the name, the sound, the everything.
Mind = blown!
the singer especially, her tone of voice...
And now they are no more. We appreciated them while they lasted.

But they came back!!!!
These guys have the best live show. magic
Bonnie \’s micro facial expressions are simply adorable. Ph yeah, then there’s the immense musical and vocal talent as well.
Bonnies vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Can`t get them out of my head
I’m a little confused. Not about how much I am astounded by and in love with their music. I only found them a week ago and started researching about them. I don’t know whether they are still performing together, but from what I’ve read, it appears not. Life moves us on and I can live with that. But I’m gonna mourn if they’re not together.
I believe they are playing a show in March 2023 in Denver, but we'll see.
Check out Mandolin Orange, Music At The Mansion on TH-cam ;-)
My understanding is that they never "broke up" but they didn't want to be a band touring full-time anymore. So each individual member is pursuing their own thing, but they still play shows together occasionally.
@@pukaria Thanks for that info! That means that maybe I’ll be able to see them someday. 😁
Once I was a big drop of water
I was in the desert
I was in high
Was in high demand
Saw you turn, saw you turn, turn away
Water came down, hit the dry ground
Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks
Spread around
Under and down
Down through the ground
Carry on, now beyond
Past where all the dancing rained like thunder
After laughter and music, different sounds
To where the thunder became something
Like the pulsing of the flowers
Which is something like the nothing
Like the pulsing like the hours
But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower
Recalled the time to climb the line
A honeysuckle tower
I was water brought to lifted leaves
Of daffodils and daily leaves
Drank into the grace of trees
The aspens like the willows weep
It hung so low
It touched below
The surface of
A still puddle
Did I behold
Reflection told
Looking back at me
The eyes of my body
So I jumped in
Back into my skin
And sang this song
Of where I'd been
Once I was a big drop of water
I spread around and became part of many living in the land
Saw you turn when I turned, turned away
In the still, in the still water
And we're still water
Jennifer Pfeiffer thank you ! I LOVE it. My hearing is not real acute, so had missed some of these adorable words. ❤️
What an amazing voice. This whole ensemble are so unique and wonderful musicians.
That was SO GOOD. Feel it in my soul!
This is extremely refreshing. Unique voice, amazing lyrics and the whole band is killing it. Added to favorites!
Very cool sound. And you're right...the band IS killing it. Her voice reminds me of Devendra Banhart's in "Insect Eyes."
Have come to love Elephant Revival! Wow, such incredible lyrics and musicality - everyone is so totally wesome, from the violin to the vocals, the upright bass and guitar to the incredible percussion and banjo work. Just so totally awesome across the spectrum!
Bonnie is a fabulous vocalist and the band are sensational.
Heard these folks on a radio show. Very unusual voice lead singer has. Sounds like a bird singing in an English Voice. Very refreshing! All the instruments just compliment the body of each song.
Genius, this song gets me in touch with nature when I can't. But when I can is coming with me too. Love yall!!
I've seen them four times. I can't get enough of the wonderful sound. Even better live!
+Keith Cecil I have purchased quite a few of their albums but I wish they would sell more of their live performances...because you are right they are even better live.
Tons of their live stuff is on Archive.org.
Twice at Mystic Hot Springs!
Same! And I always leave happier than when came
This is my favorite song in the universe. Heart stopping good.
My god, her voice is a cold drink of water on a hot summer's day. More please!
Best description. She's amazing
Great mix, terrific recording from such a simple setup.
Fortunate enough to hear them in Lake Placid last year ...free concert downtown that we stumbled upon after hiking all day ...absolutely amazing concert ...live music of this caliber on a Tuesday! Been listening to them ever since. Enjoy.
Sorry to hear that they are no more. Bonnie Paine’s voice helps me get through the day.
Wow!
Such a wide range of musical influence,
The lead singer Bonnie Paine sounds very jazzy to me. This group is so dang cool, beyond words...
What a wonderfully crystal clear voice...
I am subscribing to this site just because of this group!!!!!! I am "Drop" dead blown away by this performance!!! I want more!!!!
The ethereal tone of this piece is amazing….
As long as I've listened to you guys first comment. I can't tell you the thoughts of myself that I've discovered while hiking to your songs. No other band gets me so emotionally involved.
Miss u guys.
Aside from the fact that she has a great sense of rhythm, she has a unique beauty.
Don’t be a creep.
@@viper516 If you think recognizing beauty is creepy, you have a broad, if not inaccurate, definition of the word.....but you do you.
My favorite ER song!
had to listen again...love her voice
I have never been so in love with a woman in my life. So breath taking and her voice!
Kudos to everyone this is an amazing song.
This is my favorite ER tune. I haven't checked, but I'd bet Bonnie wrote the lyrics. She truly seems to enjoy singing it and that comes out in her voice.
My favorite song
beautiful shoulders ......beautiful voice. unusual.
Ditto, ditto, ditto, great!
Rineke RobertsonvanDam I couldn't've said it better me-self :) Everything I've heard touches my soul o.ob

Truly wonderful. Thankyou. R.
Great performance - and exceptional recording. I love everything about this.
Me too !! Bonnie is absolutely amazing but so are the rest of them. Their music is soothing to my soul.
In the still, in the still water
And we're still water

Goat.
Elephant Revival is such an amazing band! My wife and I already bought all of their albums including their newest "Sands of Now". I was wondering if these Music Fog recordings are available on CD?
plz come to Holland (nl, E.U.)
The lead singer reminds me of Natalie Merchant. The music is sublime ~ hints of Americana, far east, classical, native american.
Further back in time, Melaine come to mind. lol
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. MELANIE!!!!!!!!! She reminds me of Melanie too. She also has hints of Laura Love.
Sure wish they didn't break up
Aren’t they just on hiatus allowing fiddle player to be a mother?
No he visto nunca musica parecida,,,,, muy bonito
great flow
beautiful voice
Love the whole vibe, come to San Luis Obispo soon.
Can anyone recommend any music group with a similar style? Love almost all the songs of these guys.
You might like Mandolin Orange music at the mansion on here, or Jason Isbel Tiny Desk, also on here.
She sounds a lot like Natalie Merchant. Just wonderful..
It's been this long since...
this is great ...
fantastic

love this but is new to me...ANY similar bands to this ? LOVE her voice
Awesome!
FUN song ! Does anyone know where I can see the lyrics ?
June Carlson in the comment above yours
Bonnie is a treasure.
Its mine...as of this morning
It's like Natalie merchant and bjork had a love child
Is that Malory from Family Ties?
Aaaand whose the percussion???. OH RIGHT ITS MORE HER.
Amazing talent. Even better live in the midst. 🧖♂️
I’m so sad they broke up
What! bcause of Covid 19? sad is right ..saw them in St. Augustine Florida few years back " Beautiful" people in the group
Reminds me of PJ Harvey… but in a good world, like the Alice in Wonderland Version’
2019
Хорошо.
what's the banjo tuned to
Have they broken up?..,
Rumour was they did break up (a personal relatonship with Bonnie and went south), but at least as a group they apparently decided it would be better to get back together for the wonderful music they produced together. May we hope it is so.
One of my urrent favorite bands covering one of all time favorite bands...and who knew this folk group could do industrial rock with such brilliance!!
Dark and creepy
AND beautiful!
Slipped in flour*s)
touch me there
I like this song and I like this group but her voice reminds me a little bit of how chihuahuas shake all the time.
