I met Sean Lennon and Charlotte when he did a small concert in upstate NY to benefit a farm animal sanctuary. I was first of all impressed with their music but even more so with just how nice they were. There was a bonfire after the concert and they were friendly and down to earth. I was very impressed.
I liked the way he played like a decade back better but this is dang good as well. When I was younger I remember thinking after Elliott Smith, Sean was the best at having great chord progressions without it coming off as excessive and still writing great as a singer/songwriter. Like in his song “Deadmeat.”
Sean Lennon seems to be just as inspired by The Beatles and John Lennon as any other Beatles-Obsessed musician of his era and it's silly to fault him for it. He has really shown his mastery with TGoaSTT and The Claypool Lennon Delirium.
Any “guy” as in “you guys ready” who can wear a dang tube top and play an accordion, take it off without losing said top, and also chew gum and sing, is just a rock star in my book. This is a gem!
Wonderful playfulness. Their music has a quality that you can’t ascribe to many other musicians, charm and character. It has a wonderful organic quality to it especially with their use of acoustic instruments that contrasts with so much of today’s music being produced on the computer. I saw them open for Beck a few years back and they had a wonderful quirkiness to their sound. You can see that he has inherited his father’s wit.
Beautiful analogy. xoxo I saw them as well in a small intimate venue. Gorgeous, truly. Dark Matter plus World was made for Man. Amazing. He is his father's son indeed. 🧐🤯😚

Nice dreamy quality!If you like this why not try googling ‘Le Temps by Howard Williams’ and find it on my new u tube channel Alongside the song there are some atmospheric black and white photos of Paris.Whats not to like!!
hes so underrated, everybody keeps saying hes bad without even trying their music. I dont know why everybody hates him, hes such a good musician and a person.
I can't believe this is 10 tears old...Bob why? This is stolen treasure...Looted and stashed away...Thank God it is rediscovered and released in my lifetime...Can you imagine them jamming with HER, Collier, Caesar and Alicia...??? We would be in heaven...
in my opinion collier is so harmonically skilled and he pushes it so much that he completely ruins the natural part of Beauty in simplicity, I admire collier as a multi instrumentalist, and he seems to be such a nice guy, but personally the exaggerated rococo of his arrangement choices totally overloads (for me) the enjoyfull part of listening to the flow of a musical composition. this kind of arrangement being the exact opposite example of collier's overdubbing madness
@@canicannonball4464 I hate to agree that Collier can be a bit heavy on his own. But I think he does well with others and I imagine he will do excellently with these lovely folk.
I am amazed at the incredible talent and beauty of GOASTT after all these years. The sexiness of Charlotte Kemp Muhl chewing gum while softly and expertly playing her instruments makes this clip a treasure to behold.
He used to play with two other insanely attractive Japanese girls in a band they called Cibo Matto. I was lucky enough to see them in a tiny venue in Lawrence KS, after the show he immediately went to the pinball machine and went to town on the thing! I talked with him for 20 minutes or so, got his autograph, which is something I rarely do but I couldn't pass that opportunity up! How often am I going to have that chance??!? The entire time I was conversing with him I couldn't help but think, my goodness! He is a perfect 50/50 split of both John and Yoko! It was almost like you are talking to both of them at once! He seems to be every bit as talented as his pops! Music just pours out of people like that.....
@@Noizedas the Claypool Lennon Delirium is pretty wacked out stuff and one can't help but love it! Its similar to seeing a huge car wreck, once you see it, you can't look away and its something you won't forget very easily!
Based on what? Sean's voice is very weak, whiny wistful stuff no catchy melodies. Hipster elevator music at best. If anything Charlotte seems to have "it" when it comes to star quality, by sheer presence alone.
This is like a magical mystery tour thru' wonderland. . . Inspiring songs, lyrics, vocals and instrumentation, and they are so sweet together. A total delight. . .
some artists are given credit because their parents were super famous artists and so on... but Sean has got just as much talent as his father, in my opinion...
@@RobertSlover i do agree with the influence, but lets be honest. who is original these days? its very hard. so i think he is doing the best possible. i personally love what he is creating
@@TempleOfTheMartyrs fair enough man i like it as well, but the compositions are essentially john lennon pop tunes from a composer's perspective. descending minor themes etc. it is hard to be original at any time but i suppose that's the high one chases from creating something new(ish)!
They are just wonderful! And the music is wonderful two very talented people, play beautifully and sing beautifully and they are also a lovely couple and you can see in the video the love between them. I really enjoyed watching
it might sound strange but i love sean's music more than john's and thats weird to say. WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS POPULAR. ITS RIDICULOUS. THESE SONGS ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL, CRYPTIC AND LEGENDARY.
They sound very good to me, I love the different instrument sounds and their compatibility in song harmonies; a pretty sound that is highlighted with their personalities.
I love them together ,I love these songs.. Sean is a so talented and deserves acclaim. I love these intimate performances.. I’d love to see them perform like this all the time..
She was worried about the bass not being audible but as soon as she started playing i could here there was some intricacies in there. Sean was soo ready to just keep going.. that is very John Lennon like.
Sooooooo like his father's wonderful music... A Day in the Life... Mr Kite.... Sgt Pepper all come to mind... "can't be sure that I exist when you are not around..." So lovely... encapsulates their relationship too... She is his McCartney.... wonderful! marvellous.. and the way he says "Thank you..." that IS his father! miracles... "Don't think I've ever been this high when playing...".
Jardine du Luxembourg is one of my absolute favorite songs from GOASTT. The lyrics are clever, the musical arraignment is refreshing and lovely complimenting vocals with harmony. I'd like to see them performSean Lennon's "Parachute" together
Intriguingly wholesome. She is quite sublime, way easier on the eyes and ears than Claypool, saying doesn't subtract from his talent or character, where he lacks in beauty, he excels in his string thumping . Sean can hang with the best of them.
I saw Ghost in concert a few year ago they were great. They opened for Primus at a little venue called Mountain Park in Holyoke MA. Sean teamed up with Les and they got something going on called 'The Claypool Lennon Delirium'. We should get them on Tiny Desk.
You guys are amazing. I love the arrangement , content and gentle tempo of every song. You are 'less is more' in a nutshell ; intelligence shines through. More lovely soft background accordion would be good - mind you , you'd need someone else to rattle and hit things eh. I'm very impressed - good luck with EVERYTHING. I'll defo keep an ear to the ground in your direction ~ not sure that's a viable saying in English* ~ but I will anyway. ps. I've just realised I'm ten years late......... oh well. Realising 'now' who you are I'm amazed I've not ever heard or come across anything from you this last decade - so much music so little time.
These days Muhl is a model, a composer, a bandleader, a film director, a recording engineer, and a bloody genius, and Sean is a solid guitarist and songwriter with a sweet singing voice. (I love both of them. Big fan of CLD too. But Charlotte really is a genius.)
Once upon certain moons there’d be folk artists with a magic tone, organic acoustic instrumentations but elaborate and lush arrangements and style, baring themselves to a presence of as little else as they can be. I found this in the greats of this songwriting style such as Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. And Sean’s album came along in a time when I personally had been missing such songwriting. Would love to know why this wasn’t published at the time, and if they are still even active still as this duo?
@@Homelessmagneto I don't know about "most talent" on EARTH, I'd highly dispute that, I mean come on. Just because she's pretty doesn't mean she's super talented. The two things don't go hand and hand and aren't directly in correlation for sure.
@@dalekay9ine I mean she sings, plays several instruments, writes music, directs, produces and edits music videos, paints etc. That's pretty talented to me.

Was this concert back in 2009 or 2010
This is the first I’ve heard of these two and I feel like I’ve missed them for a long time. Enchanting
Sean Lennon's chord changes are great!

His fathers talent and voice haunts him I like his sound and together they both create beautiful sounds of music
really .. how do You know anything about Sean or anyone else for that matter. It's your uninformed opinion .. only

Yes, she's excellent!
Beyond exceptional !
Jardin Du Luxembourg is just a terrific song. Very unusual melodically.
Literally one of the finest performances I've seen and heard. So glad it made it up on the channel!
Charlotte's great at all the instruments she touches, and there are a lot! How talented. Awesome.

I love in the beginning when the cameraman focuses in on Charlotte he's like holyshit this girl is gorgeous
Hes so talented. They compliment one another. I remember when friendly fire came out. I was so blown away. I’ll def take a full listen to the album
hes so underrated, everybody keeps saying hes bad without even trying their music. I dont know why everybody hates him, hes such a good musician and a person.
She’s actually WAY more talented than Sean and I prefer Julian’s voice it’s more like John’s Sean is to nasal.

Agree. Too much
And he is a little rude
Sean has better taste than his dad did(the 2nd time around).
Agreed. But she needs to lose the gum.
you cant deny that.
Sean is an amazing lyricist! Love this was into them from the beginning but glad to see this absolutely amazing!
He should be so much more popular it's not fair he's the best
She's cool to

I just realized that I'm obsessed with them. Their music and lyrics and the harmonies they've made is just beautiful ❤
Also his acoustic sounds amazing and she is a gift!

I feel like they're a novel that's come to life 😍😍
They are such a talented couple, they belong to each other. ❤

She is just so for him so glad they found each other
Two people who were meant to find each other .. beautiful
“I don’t think I’ve ever been this high...while playing a show” . The sound you hear is dad cackling along.
That's genetics for ya'
What a magnificent duo!

You should listen to the episode of Marc Marin's podcast with Sean Lennon. He talks a lot about that
@@maxwell9211 i will check that out for sure. thanks
fair enough, but the spirit of the music is basically a redundant solo john lennon sound.....

Amazing musicianship and the one pretty look just only a bonus. Best Tiny Desktop concert, for me.
Him: "I've never been this high during a show."
Her: "Mahaa!"
This has always been one of my favorite tiny desks concerts! I remember watching this about 7 years ago.
Sean is a superb guitarist.
Awesome unique style, carrying on his father's legacy of trippy yet catchy folk pop!
The way he looks at her makes me melt
They are just wonderful! And the music is wonderful two very talented people, play beautifully and sing beautifully and they are also a lovely couple and you can see in the video the love between them. I really enjoyed watching
This weird couple is just perfect and working perfectly cute for me.
Thanks NPR.. I always waiting to see them playing music together again
This is one of my favourite Tiny Desks.
These two are MAGIC!
I loved these songs tons when I first heard them and they're still amazing! time flies!
such an enjoyable and adorable performance
How beautiful was that! One of the best Tiny Desks I have seen.
I love you two....beautiful, soulful and creative and heartwarming
Sean is sooo cool. He looks just like the 70's art curator Samuel Adams Green. Sean is so awesome!
I love these lyrics and chord progressions! Reminds me of Silvio Rodriguez, the Cuban singer/songwriter of the nueva trova movement.
Could listen to it again and again! Love this gentle fairy Tale Style!❤
I kind of forgetten how much i like GOASTT...this mean only one thing: We need new music from them right away!
it's a pandemic, let's tell then to do a post-apocalyptique album.
it might sound strange but i love sean's music more than john's and thats weird to say. WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS POPULAR. ITS RIDICULOUS. THESE SONGS ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL, CRYPTIC AND LEGENDARY.

Love it.. I felt like I was watching a play
they look like characters from scott pilgrim
so spot on
Good eye you have there!
They just look like pretty generic New Yorkers lol
Its cus this is from 2010 and every hipster dressed up like this
They look like where's wally's parents
This is the coolest thing! pls bring more of these old gems
Lovely folk songs, folks ! I just read Julia Baird's book on her brother John. That got me here. You both sing and play wonderfully. Cheers !
tears of joy when i hear Schroedingers cat...you look great!
never seen such that close up shot for singer in tiny desk concert
This for me feels like a large basket of fresh fruits, nuts, seeds and flowers on a tiny desk beside a very tall bottle of Rosé😍🤩😘🥰
This could be music for the next Tim Burton film.
Yes, sounds like a melody by Danny Elfman
YES. OMG. WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT. lol
Hope this guys are still around. Great performance, never heard of them before. Dark matter, White Noice was incredible
Sean has a new group with Les Claypool
AESTHETIC AsTrOnAuTa I thought for a second it was Claypool Lennon Delirium. That’s great though I’ll check it out, thanks btw
Love this band
Listening to sean’s voice is so soothing, it makes me believe John is still with us and escaped all the hate there was at the time
She was worried about the bass not being audible but as soon as she started playing i could here there was some intricacies in there. Sean was soo ready to just keep going.. that is very John Lennon like.
Mystical and Magic...So cool...Thanks
This was such a delight!
This was ten years ago!! 2010 good times...
He sounded so much like his dad saying thank you after the second song

@@thewidesweep9412The second instrument was a melodica.
This is that late 90s early 2000s indie sound, it got the same vibe as the band Elysian Fields.

It should be illegal to have both looks AND talent.
What is she talented at?
Amazing - Sounds like something from that movie La Seine
Love you both.... Keep up the gorgeous ghostliness.
