Cheryl Waters is a wonderful lady and clearly loves music and what she does. She's a cancer survivor who has remained positive and interested in artists, in spite of her own struggles. Now that's someone to admire.
Jamie definetly deserves more recongnition for his solo work too. Don't get me wrong, he has a few very popular solo songs, but his other work is nowhere near as popular as it should.
W As a guitar and bass player with 46 years of experience.....I have to say that the guy behind is amazing, he provides all the beats and ambiance . I do love this band.
I swear the audio quality for their live exhibitions is outstanding, there's no other channel that hosts bands and uploads videos with such a high sound recording quality.
Ever since I heard this record I fell in love with it, but after seing them live a couple of months ago I fell completely in love with them as artists. I think the way they connect with the audience is so unique. I can already tell I will forever be a fan because I'm so interested in them as people, not just as a band.
everytime i hear this music i think of this girl. we really never knew each other and i even said some stupid things about her. but after all these years, i still reach for her. stefanie. i will never forget her.
when oliver made eye to eye, face to face contact with you at the concert because he knew you were sad/crying and slowly smiled at you and waved till you smiled back and waved... such a gentle soul
I am absolutely in love with Romy, and Oliver's voice is about the sexiest there is. Then you have Jamie making amazing mixes to make them both sound their best. Love it !
To me, the XX (espescially their first album) is so brilliant that they will always be around. I just now listened to it again for a first time in 2 years and got teary eyed allover. Same as first time hearing it... their sound is so unique and dreamy and good lyrics and great vocals. Love forever and their sound just resonates with me... contemporary dreamy melancholy, like a clear day in mid fall
Years past and I still love you guys, ever since I discovered Intro at 17 yo, you sounded so special and this music that is not so new anymore but so essential to your sound, pure honesty, thank you. You guys make me feel so special about life
I've only been listening to them for like 2 days and I'm already addicted. There is something so fresh to their sound! I missed them here in Seattle, but I'll be something in Austin city limits. They are great.
Oh god this brings back memories. I was in Seattle back in 2010ish and remember listening to you guys on the radio from my hotel and discovering the XX for the first time. I'm from Chicago but dang! Seattle has an amazing music scene!
It is such a crazy feeling to read these comments and see how postive they are and to see that people actually know their names... Never would i have thought (always dreamed) that they would come this far due to how society is. I LOVE how far they've come. HECK I HAVE A FREAKING XX TATTOO ON ME. goodness. I am so happy. This interview/performance one for the books
I saw them when they just started out in Philadelphia at a small club. I was with my ex wife, who was my fiancé at the time. They had just become a 3 piece and I had just heard VCR to check them out before seeing them live. Jamie just had his mpc to fingerdrum on at the time, on a table with a black flag with an X marked in white.

It's great that they are opening doors to bring more sounds in to there music, this is something music companies dislike so that's great that they are. Both great singers and great lyrics, great samples and rhythm to go with it all.
Well, the xx. There is that. Tremendous performance! Vocally quite solid, musically incredibly tight. Oliver def has a grip on the bass. Romy has an almost "surf" guitar feel (gorgeous) about her. Jamie is... well, as I opine, perhaps, the cohesion these beautiful people need in order to keep being their awesome selves and providing MASSIVE tracks
In *Hold On* who else noticed the Daryl Hall & John Oates - _I Can't Go For That_ lyrics and voice sample of... [ *"You've got the body"...* _'now you want my soul"_ ]
I love that kexp interviewer! she always seems genuinely interested in the bands and what they have to offer :)
Lola Taylor Also knows there work well
i justtt wanted to say that
Cheryl Waters is a wonderful lady and clearly loves music and what she does. She's a cancer survivor who has remained positive and interested in artists, in spite of her own struggles. Now that's someone to admire.
she is amazing!
Cheryl is the best.
Can't believe it takes only these 3 to make such beautiful music.
Everyone talking about Romy and Oliver's (brilliant) voices but damn, Jamie pulling one brilliant shift on the machines here
No doubt
Jamie is God
It’s not even a secret, he’s the gears that make this beautiful machine move!
Jamie definetly deserves more recongnition for his solo work too. Don't get me wrong, he has a few very popular solo songs, but his other work is nowhere near as popular as it should.
I can't explain the warm feeling that this band causes to flow through me hearing and seeing them.

As a guitar and bass player with 46 years of experience.....I have to say that the guy behind is amazing, he provides all the beats and ambiance
. I do love this band.
The "I Dare You" video came up randomly on yt, and then searching for a live set of that song I came by this full performance. Love it. ❤
KEXP I fucking love this channel. Spend half my days listening. Every band is decent, proper top drawer audio quality too.
I swear the audio quality for their live exhibitions is outstanding, there's no other channel that hosts bands and uploads videos with such a high sound recording quality.
Romy and Oliver's voices complement each other so fucking perfectly!
right?!
Re!
Ez
Ever since I heard this record I fell in love with it, but after seing them live a couple of months ago I fell completely in love with them as artists. I think the way they connect with the audience is so unique. I can already tell I will forever be a fan because I'm so interested in them as people, not just as a band.
Best KEXP I’ve seen in a long time!
everytime i hear this music i think of this girl. we really never knew each other and i even said some stupid things about her. but after all these years, i still reach for her. stefanie. i will never forget her.
when oliver made eye to eye, face to face contact with you at the concert because he knew you were sad/crying and slowly smiled at you and waved till you smiled back and waved... such a gentle soul
Romy played some solos in front of me because she had seen me over reacting to there walkout at the start of the show
I would need resuscitation if that had occurred to me lol
I died at "thank you for having us back" omg eargasm af.
Amzing voice!
Hahaha you are amazing
@@worldshaper1723 i come back time and again just to hear that moment!
same feeling
Same
romy's voice is so calm and sweet
she's such a beautiful angel
one of my favorite bands of all time ! the voice and the guitars ... wow !
man that guys voice...incredible
2:05
Fabersoul but she can't sing or play guitar. thank god for autotune...
that ain't autotune. but I really do think Jamie XX is their saving grace.
search on youtube for xx , any live acoustic session if you want to know if its autotune or not. Spoiler: its not!
just for the record its hard to hear your own voice with thick ass headphones like that on
Just saying I hope everybody is listening with good headphones or a speakers, don't wanna miss Oliver's sweet bass jams
I am absolutely in love with Romy, and Oliver's voice is about the sexiest there is. Then you have Jamie making amazing mixes to make them both sound their best. Love it !
I love that Romy got more confident, good for her
Romy is so adorable
Cheryl is always excited; and I believe her.
I like the fact, that they also took shots not only of the singers but also of Jamie. Great camera work!
To me, the XX (espescially their first album) is so brilliant that they will always be around. I just now listened to it again for a first time in 2 years and got teary eyed allover. Same as first time hearing it... their sound is so unique and dreamy and good lyrics and great vocals. Love forever and their sound just resonates with me... contemporary dreamy melancholy, like a clear day in mid fall
i could die happily if i ever heard an audiobook read by oliver si :-)
Agreed. What a voice.
alt j??
so cool!! me too!
By Romy!!
LMAO SAMEE
Years past and I still love you guys, ever since I discovered Intro at 17 yo, you sounded so special and this music that is not so new anymore but so essential to your sound, pure honesty, thank you. You guys make me feel so special about life
This kind of combo of vocals in one band is insane. Nothing like this exists.
sometimes i come to this video just to hear him say thank you for having us back
I've only been listening to them for like 2 days and I'm already addicted. There is something so fresh to their sound! I missed them here in Seattle, but I'll be something in Austin city limits. They are great.
liligman same here I'll be there weekend 2 to enjoy ACL 👌🏼
Oh god this brings back memories. I was in Seattle back in 2010ish and remember listening to you guys on the radio from my hotel and discovering the XX for the first time.
I'm from Chicago but dang! Seattle has an amazing music scene!
Wow, I had TH-cam on autoplay in the background and this video immediately caught my attention when it started. Amazing work.
Romy's voice is so soothing💖
That intro of 'Say Something Loving' wish they included that on the album. Just that tiny bit of extra makes the song so much nicer
Alessi Brothers
It is such a crazy feeling to read these comments and see how postive they are and to see that people actually know their names... Never would i have thought (always dreamed) that they would come this far due to how society is. I LOVE how far they've come. HECK I HAVE A FREAKING XX TATTOO ON ME. goodness. I am so happy. This interview/performance one for the books
Ohhh, how wonderful are The xx!! They sounds exactly the same as the album, live !! Love them !
KEPX sound quality is GOALS!
The xx are such a well performing live band
Mesmerizing
Favorite live performance to date and I've seen a ton of amazing acts.
not like a lot of crappy bands of now who give shit to people!!!lol
Her hair looks so good like that
+Mario's Corner Yeah, I guess your face is perfect, that's why your avatar is a plant
Take them back please😢
I saw them when they just started out in Philadelphia at a small club. I was with my ex wife, who was my fiancé at the time. They had just become a 3 piece and I had just heard VCR to check them out before seeing them live. Jamie just had his mpc to fingerdrum on at the time, on a table with a black flag with an X marked in white.
What a great band. I just discovered it via NPR. Thank you KEXP.
Amazing work. Everything from the visuals, to the interviewer and of coarse from xx.
this album sorely needed in this time in music! great performance.
The opening harmony. It is just so satisfying.
I love their voices she sounds like an angel and his voice so deep perfect combination 💖💖
Beautiful record, beautiful vocals, a true piece of artwork.
Thank you, @KEXP😍😍😍
the voices .. amazing.. but dont forget the incredible DJ... just wow!
best basic space studio recording
cheryl, we love you
Like 'islands', 'say something loving' is such a cerebral masterpiece
Super!
I would literally pay to see them play Sunset or Together again! miss those songs so much! my two favs :(
KK Espadaz. that is called a concert. to pay to hear a band play...
The thing is, they don't play those songs anymore. Sit down Godfather!
I'm obsessed with the XX 😂😭😭😭
hatib muhamad
I am so happy and grateful to hear Basic Space! see you guys soon in Poland 😍
it would be so awesome if they have sung replica
this is one of those band that it doesnt matter where theyre playing they always sound the same and i found that awesome love these guys
Thr Host Cheryl is doing such a great job!❤️
I was there! They are an awesome band. Thanks KEXP for posting.
Very vulnerable and therefore appealing
I've found so many beautiful new artists via KEXP and The xx are right up there! Stunning! ♥
Such great music and wonderful people.
They are a gift to the world. Glad to have the pleasure to be alive while they are too.
their voices are perfect and I love how they intertwine
R I serious??? I think they are off pitch and the dissonance drives me insane. It’s a shame though cause I see what they’re getting at and it’s nice
"Thank you f'having us back"... that voice melts!
KEXP hosts are just so nice. Love them
This is has to be the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life !!!
Cheryl Waters has the best job ever. Hope ur feeling well Cheryl! 🖤😘🖤
Love this band and what an excellent host!!! Such an enjoyable video all around.
Every of these songs sounds so perfect.
What happened to them? .... One if the best bands I've ever had the privilege to see...
I could not imagine not seeing them again
I adore the interviewer shes very motherly
I'm loving the new songs! I also love the new studio space. It looks like a field of stars or something
amazing intro. this song gives me good feelings.
that sound of guitar and their voices is so amazing!love thisssss
I'm pretty sure a single human soul will not buy you a voice like that.
Tomasz Matuszczyk being from Sommerset helps
I'd get laid so much if I had that voice lol.
Romy and Oliver's voices >>>>> They are amazing ( i love Jamie too)
yup
This is honestly a MUCH better version of Basic Space than the album version. Much more emotion !
SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD!!!! I am addicted to The XX!
My favorite KEXP Mc and one of the best young indie bands out there.
Kris they are everything you said and more exept new
I wish they still making music!

Lyrics: Say Something Loving, I Dare You, On Hold
==================
Say Something Loving
==================
Before it slips away
Say something loving
I just don't remember the thrill of affection
I just don't remember
Say something loving
I need a reminder, the feeling's escaped me
I went looking for it
Could have been anyone's kiss
Throwing my arms at no one
When I gave up, I found love
The thought flows through my mind
And it's growing all the time
I do myself a disservice
To feel this weak, to be this nervous
You say something loving
It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection
Feels so unfamiliar
You say something loving
Without hesitation it hits me, hits me
It feels so unfamiliar
Before it slips away
Your touch stays on my skin
I feel it start sinking in
Here come my insecurities
I almost expect you to leave
Were you really looking for me?
Try your best to reassure me
I wasn't patient to meet you
Am I too needy, am I too eager?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is, but it doesn't feel wrong
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is, but it doesn't feel wrong
Did you hear me say it?
Say it
Did you hear me say?
I say something loving
I can't hold it inside, the thrill of affection
Is only getting stronger
I say something loving
All my hesitations are fading, fading
I feel it taking over
Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away
Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away
========
I Dare You
========
I'm in love with it
Intoxicated
I'm in rapture
From the inside I can feel that you want to
Way up high on it
Feeling suspended
I'm enamoured
Way up in the sky I could see that you want to
I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever heard are love songs
Singing...
Oh oh oh, go on I dare you
Oh oh oh, I dare you
I get chills
Heart rate multiplies
I'm on a different kind of high
A rush of blood
Is not enough
I need my feelings set on fire
Now I'm deep in it
Infatuated
Strong attraction
Side by side and I know that you want to
I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever heard are love songs
Singing...
Oh oh oh, go on I dare you
Oh oh oh, I dare you
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then
Singing...
Oh oh oh, go on I dare you
Oh oh oh, I dare you
Oh oh oh, go on I dare you
Oh oh oh, I dare you
==========
Basic Space
==========
Neck, chest, waist to floor
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
Make me a deal, a day a piece
Take it all, just stay a week
I'll take you in pieces
We can take it all apart
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
Basic space, open air
Don't look away, when there's nothing there
I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece, before I'm alone
Air tight, before we break
Keep it in, keep us safe
It's a pool of boiling wax
I'm getting in
Let it set
Got to seal this in
Can't adjust, Can't relearn
Got to keep what I have, preserve
Basic space, open air
Don't look away, when there's nothing there
Hot wax has left me with a shine
Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind
Second skin, second skin
I can't let it out, I still let you in
I can't let it out, I still let you in
=======
On Hold
=======
I don't blame you
We got carried away
I can't hold on
To an empty space
Now you've found a new star to orbit
It could be love, I think you're too soon to call us old
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
(Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've got my body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've got my body)
I thought I had you on hold
(You've got my body, you've got my body
Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've got my body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've got my body
Dare me to, dare me to)
My young heart
Chose to believe
We were destined
Young hearts
All need love
Call it a lesson
The stars and the charts and the cards make sense
Only when we want them to
When I lie awake staring in to space
I see a different view
Now you've found a new star to orbit
It could be love, I think you're too soon to call us old
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
(Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've got my body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've got my body
You've got my body, you've got my body
Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've got my body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where do you stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got my body, you've my body
Dare me to, dare me to)
And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
jamie is insane probably one of the best producers of today
Epic...that first track opening. The XX are blooming
It's great that they are opening doors to bring more sounds in to there music, this is something music companies dislike so that's great that they are.
Both great singers and great lyrics, great samples and rhythm to go with it all.
This is great, reminds me of the underground college radio station late at night.
their songs n voices combine,floating slowly through space ,sooo lovely beautiful🥰
I applauded after she turned down the tone knob to finish the guitar solo.
McLovin on the drum machine. Love this set with the lights in the background
Well, the xx. There is that. Tremendous performance! Vocally quite solid, musically incredibly tight. Oliver def has a grip on the bass. Romy has an almost "surf" guitar feel (gorgeous) about her. Jamie is... well, as I opine, perhaps, the cohesion these beautiful people need in order to keep being their awesome selves and providing MASSIVE tracks
incredible ---
In *Hold On* who else noticed the Daryl Hall & John Oates - _I Can't Go For That_ lyrics and voice sample of... [ *"You've got the body"...* _'now you want my soul"_ ]
Yes Cheryl waters is fantastic
Just love to hear “I dare you” over and over again.
Love this version of Basic Space, well done!
On hold was one of my favorite songs on the album.
I could listen to Oliver talk all day
I'm coming at least once a month to listen this video ❤
these two voices together... oh my!
The xx just have the gift of making great music together. Amazing
OMG! gorgeous! Love this band!!!
