@@gosur6860 not really do you think joji has a problem with that? or Giveon i feel like no one sounds like him i feel like it was refreshing to hear someone like giveon...i can keep going lol
"I'm just a boy inside my thoughts. Am I meant to understand my faults? I don't think so. I don't think I'm meant to understand myself. Maybe you do, and that's good for you, maybe in time I'll do the same" gets me every time.
@@ophiolatreia93 Great! Well, Rex Orange it's just Alex O'Connor, not a band, but a singer. I recommend you the album from which Always come, "Pony", and my favourite one from him, "Apricot Princess". Hope you enjoy with his music!
Why are we not talking about the instrumental solos in sunflower?? Rex has an exceptionally amazing band and they bring the songs to LIFE live..... soooo good
auto tune got nothing rex. he literally sounds the same anywhere you hear him performing. and the way he asks to play something. he will say is it okay if i play this next song. like he’s literally play any song and i will cry while you sing it because it just sounds so good
Setlist 00:05 "Loving Is Easy" 03:22 "Pluto Projector" 08:12 "Always" 12:27 "Sunflower" Edit : I suggest u to watch full for enjoy and chillin in this pandemic

Me: Dad, why is my sister's name Rose? Dad: Coz your Mom loves roses. Me: Thanks, dad! Dad: Sure thing, Rex Orange County: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert.
The way he sings makes me wanna actually fall into the lyrics, get his feelings and see how natural for him to put together his vulnerability. There’s some serious genuine intimacy going on here.
Does anyone else notice the difference in confidence between when he's performing old songs vs. his new ones? I love his old songs and they are some of my favorites, but when he is performing like this I can really see how better suited the new songs are to his range and his comfort level, and I really think he has just grown and matured so much as an artist.
i'm noticing this stigma of, "iNdiE bOi Rex mainstream love", but this man has proven how above all of that he is. a real talented gem and an excellent performance by him and the band here!
Andrew Harnisch it’s funny cause despite his popularity and accessibility I actually find him very underrated. Yeah his sound is mellow and “indie” but it’s also layered and gorgeous and he’s such a good performer
I love that he played "Sunflower". That's the song I chose to walk on stage and receive my degree when I graduated college. It just filled me with joy and it felt so authentic. I'm so grateful for his authentic expression out in the world. It inspired me and my friends so much at the time, and still brings me joy to this day ❤
Rex Orange County is the politest artist ever with proof: 3:08 Exhibit A - He asks the audience how they are all doing and responds (fairly common) 7:57 Exhibit B - He thanks the audience for absolutely no reason at all and proceeds to check "if it's okay" for him to do another song (very humble) 11:52 Exhibit C - He smiles and nods at the drummer and bassist between songs (too sweet) 12:00 Exhibit D - He thanks the mic guy for setting up the mic WITH HIS NAME (what a guy!) 16:25 Exhibit E - He asks Johnny if he "knows why", directing the audience's attention away from himself and towards Johnny for his epic horn solo (everyone liked that)
I'll never forget the day I found Sunflower for the first time, and the many memories that followed from this mans music. Cherished forever, thankyou Rex.
Massive Shoutout to the Audio Engineer for this Live Performance mixes. it was a small space with every instrument near each other. Also a nice microphone too. Just WOW!
i genuinely loved every moment of this. the way rex speaks, his adorable little accent. the beautiful way his voice vibrates and the lyrics and emotions his songs carry. the small 'thank u josh'. the way johnny really took it away during sunflower. the rest of the band manipulating the instruments marvelously. it was a fantastic experience. love him.

This must be the most refreshing and wholesome tiny desk concert I've ever watched imo. I always go down here to binge while working from home. Thank you Rex and NPR!
this is exactly what I needed at 4:00 am during the quarantine to let my mind be more relaxed. thank you for bringing out an amazing artist that is both genuine and charming.
I believe he actually does ALL the instruments himself for the recording, and these blokes are his touring group. I saw ROC in January with my daughter, and it was exceptionally fun, and musically excellent!

Rex sounds exactly like his tracks, what a gem
zJonah his speaking voice is puzzling and i wish i NEVER HEARD IT he should never NOT sing things bc speaking just made me go 😲😮😧😦😯🤭😳🤯🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
ikr, organic audio :)
I repsect his voice so much more after this. It's so good and smooth live. Christ it's amazing
not at all... sang all of the songs different than they are on the track... youre delusional
@@adailing7868 man I think the guy meant he sounds as good as his tracks. Not the same sounding.
Respect to the man who went from flute and piano to saxophone!!
Michael Underwood, great surfer and photographer too!
Phil O'Connor wow
a man of many talents ! !
Man was I looking for this comment.
haha Exatly !
Phil O'Connor Mr. O’Connor, hows it going? Hope you guys are staying safe and healthy!
This made this lockdown just a little bit better.
For real
I would love to go to a place like that alot, to drink coffee, tea, idk, just chill, gosh I love all that I've seen in there videos until now.
Made mine a lot better
yerboi Viloria there’s an ig video of Rex singing songs😩🤣
where y'all came from?
He's crazy talented, the honesty and vulnerability in his lyrics and music is something many songwriters strive to achieve.
his talent is unreal
How is this good at all?

@@gosur6860 agree
they look like they dressed up for a middle school band concert and I'm SO HERE FOR IT
Katie Cooke right, it's so cute too 😩
The fact that they bought the shirts at the train station the morning of makes it even better :)
Katie Cooke As a Brit. I can say they all look like they’re wearing british school uniform 😂 but without the jumpers 😳
omg bro....
Think they're paying tribute to Tyler the Creator..
the sound engineer of these concerts is probably the most talented dude on the planet
Josh Rogosin and Patrick Boyd! They are in the credits. They KILLED it
@@wereoutthere For an acoustic session like this? Doesn't get much better than this man.
MathewNewsam after Rex obviously 😂
I was thinking the same. I don't know anything about it but in that small place, man the sound is amazing.
no idea how they did the snarky puppy concert
quarantine & tiny desk concerts
Francis Cells have a good time and stay safe of your self guys
Sameee
Always.

This is my favorite lyric of his.
His lyrics hit different.
Lovely song. I just found this band yesterday.
What else should I listen to by them
@@ophiolatreia93 Great! Well, Rex Orange it's just Alex O'Connor, not a band, but a singer. I recommend you the album from which Always come, "Pony", and my favourite one from him, "Apricot Princess". Hope you enjoy with his music!
man this drummer looks like he's been playing metal his whole life and is really trying to contain himself
Lol yeah😂
gotta hit soft at the Desk
also looks Russian af
Dude I can’t watch Jim play without laughing now because it’s kinda true 😂
this man is hitting the skins like a guitar center employee told him to keep it down
Let's all be grateful that this was all free
i was born in the exact right decade
Do they get paid when they perform here?
FREE??
Yess!!
@@dozenroses9088 Is he ever gonna go there again?

dominic weaver our fav geek
Why are we not talking about the instrumental solos in sunflower?? Rex has an exceptionally amazing band and they bring the songs to LIFE live..... soooo good
Mf on sax played the licc and everything
I was thinking the same! Love to see johnny and michael have their solos, they had one in the Sunflower Radio city version but i prefer this one tbh.
rex's songs are sad but comforting
idk i love him
Luna C not sad, hopeful and wishful and relateable
SMILE
some of it can be really sad but it’s the wallows music i feel i just watched a whole movie (if that makes sense) after a song ends. so beautiful
he’s so adorable “if that okay we’re gonna play a song called always” yeah ofc its ok it’s your concert
omg yesss
lol in his CONCERT he would ask the audience if it was okay to play another song... yeah ofc what else are we there for haha
🥺🥺🥺
So so good.
I'm sad no one notices Josh Peck's comment.
@@rhenlovesth yea lol
Amen josh peck
Good taste Josh!

"Let's play the song that's called 'Sunflower' now."
If that isn't the most genuine thing I have ever heard I don't know what is.
i love how everyone he's preforming with has a moment where they look at him with awe and admiration.
seent it. nice observation.

I had a phase with Rex lol I listened to him everyday during a really trying time of life. This was so relaxing and such a natural performance.
Same here
Im in that phase tho I just can’t get enough
Honestly same.

Pluto projector
[Verse 1]
The great protector
Is that what I'm supposed to be?
What if all this counts for nothing
Everything I thought I'd be?
What if by the time I realize
It's too far behind to see?
Seventy-mil projector
I can show you everything, yeah
And we're on our way to glory
Where the show won't ever end
And the encore lasts forever
And it's time we're due to spend
[Verse 2]
Spending the years together
Growing older every day (Every day)
I feel at home when I'm around you
And I'll gladly say again
I hope the encore lasts forever
Now there's time for us to spend
And it's sublime with you, my friend
This right here still feels like a honeymoon
When you say my name, nothing's changed
I'm still a boy inside my thoughts
Am I meant to understand my faults?
[Chorus]
I don't think so
I don't think I'm meant to understand myself
Maybe you do
And that's good for you
Maybe in time
Maybe one day
I'll do the same
(I'll do the same
I'll do the same
I'll do the same)
[Bridge]
I'll do the same as you
I'll try and hold it up
Soon I hope
Or as soon as I'm old enough
(Old enough to understand
Old enough to understand)
[Outro]
Stay forever, you know more than anyone (Yeah, whoa)
And it's you that knows my darkness
And you know my bedroom needs
You could blast me and my secrets
But there's probably just no need
thank you!!

for sure

Isn't easy anymore
Pluto Projector almost had me tearing up. The most beautiful song I've heard in a long time. Makes you wanna find someone to dedicate it to.
Same here 😉
Best song he has made
i first heard this song on NPR and now there's a part of me that refuses to listen to the studio version
@@Senor-Equis oh but the strings on the studio version are so good! please give it a listen.
amen to that
The way he sings makes me wanna actually fall into the lyrics, get his feelings and see how natural for him to put together his vulnerability. There’s some serious genuine intimacy going on here.
facts sister
First Harry Styles and now Rex Orange County???
NPR starting off quarantine season right 👌
Was actually thinking Harry's drummer and these horns could form a new band 😊

Michael Mashburn welcome to the club
so glad this were your introduction to rex
welcomee
as you should.
Same bro
Pluto projector has me feeling so fulfilled and warm, he’s such a pure and genuine soul and his music is proof of that :,)
NPR music is an essential business that needs to remain open in times like these.

Yea I agree, I noticed the newer ones tested him way more vocally also
what an insightful observation Amanda Kim !!
@@katherinemoore5992 agreed! That was a very thought-provoking and astute observation!!!

Pluto projector gives me chills. That song just hits me so deep right now
Rex is just one of those artists you put on when you need to have a lil smile.
_oh my GOD the live version of Pluto Projector is even better than I thought... I'm legit crying right now_
You should see when they play the violin in his music video😤✋🏻✨✨
Me too!
HIGHLY recommend watching the Ral Studio session version if you haven’t already.

I was blown away by pluto projector, what a great song and amazing arrangement
the drummer looks like the most British person ever
jim reed is a legend
He looks like Gordon Ramsay's son
his whole band looks like they're in love with him (fair enough)
who wouldn't tho 😭😭😭
he's like your high school classmate you didnt know is loaded with amazing talent.
I’m hoping your classmates didn’t sexually assault women as well
😬
ROFL
My guy *flugelhorn player* out here looking like an iced gem.
Steve Barrow I CANT UNSEE IT NOW
It’s really common for jazz players to be playing flugelhorn
@@jazzymedic7702 don't think that's what he meant
The drummers facial expressions make him look like he’s playing a gig for the first time and he really doesn’t want to mess up
I'm thinking it was because 'tiny desk' xD
It's hard to play softly with energy on the drums. He was probably focusing on not playing too loud
“Hey everybody” omg that was soo cute I’m crying
i said "rex needs a tiny desk" 3 years ago. . . look at us now !
Gonzalo who would’ve thought!
I remember you!
Alice Plamedie NOT ME
Look at us
I didn't want it to end
Self-isolating to Sunflower. This could not get any better.
He introduced the songs like he was apologizing for the inconveniences😂 also they all look like they have an important middle school band concert
Dude! You make laugh for one minute straight
Rex and his gf broke up... be ready to get some sad song😭
oh noo...well, I'm ready for new music but hope they're doing ok
I’m lowkey excited Ik it’s sad but like we’re getting a new side of rex where it’s not so much crushing on a girl sad but heartbroken sad
sad
it's bitter sweet cuz i know the music will be so good but poor rex but the music but poor rex you know?
wait wasn't it his wife 👀 idk tho
He’s pure soul this young dude. Could vibe to him any day.
why are British people so freaking musically talented?!!! is it their water/tea...whats the secret?!

Rex Orange County is the politest artist ever with proof:
3:08 Exhibit A - He asks the audience how they are all doing and responds (fairly common)
7:57 Exhibit B - He thanks the audience for absolutely no reason at all and proceeds to check "if it's okay" for him to do another song (very humble)
11:52 Exhibit C - He smiles and nods at the drummer and bassist between songs (too sweet)
12:00 Exhibit D - He thanks the mic guy for setting up the mic WITH HIS NAME (what a guy!)
16:25 Exhibit E - He asks Johnny if he "knows why", directing the audience's attention away from himself and towards Johnny for his epic horn solo (everyone liked that)
I didn't notice that much... and I'm hardcore alex fan who's high
He did the same for Michael's dope sax solo too! He genuinely seems so humble and kind.
He thanks the audience for the applause
@Sydney Rose Jackson dont worry so am I. And I have a girfriend
he just being normal 😩
I'll never forget the day I found Sunflower for the first time, and the many memories that followed from this mans music.

THE NOTES YOU HIT ON PLUTO PROJECTER CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE . . . THANK YOU!
his accent is *_everything_* 🌻🌑
Yo I'm English and have a speaking voice vaguly similar to Rex, but his accent still makes me melt. 🌻
A Tiny Desk version of "4 Seasons" would be hot fire
Rex is the definition of letting music speak for itself, he's an absolute musician. I NEED to see him live!
Also, where can I find a Johnny in my life?
4 songs that will live in my heart forever.
A chill performance with chill people at the comment section. Great combo.
This has got to be one of the best Tiny Desk concerts to date. The mix on this is sublime
NPR audio engineer is awesome, please NPR provide them everything they need!
a bit sad that Rex concert in Jakarta was canceled tho, hope everything's back to normal soon, stay safe everyone!
is it already cancelled?
As good as Rex and the band are, you're dead right, the audio here is fantastic.
use a headset,close your eyes,just imagine its an actual concert
Wait what?? It's already canceled??
When that drum beat starts in Sunflower 13:52, man, it's such a groove. I love that one
16:25 WOW! I love the trumpet solo too
flugelhorn and sax solos at the end were absolutely killer
Can we talk about how his voice has matured so beautifully
A huge thanks to the kitchen staff for using their lunch break to play for Rex Orange County during the concert.
His accent is everything. His voice is Just... *chef's kiss
He's singing like an angel, what this is so perfect woaw. I need to start listening more to Rex Orange Country

But there's probably just no need
his " hey everybuddy" is so cute
I’m glad he let Jonny and Michael go off they killed it
12:00 I'm glad that he's still humble after all these years and I really hope he never loses that
Thank you Sophie for showing me Rex Orange County. The greatest gift anyone could have given.
Sophie a real one
I met Rex backstage once he was a really sweet guy, gave me his guitar pick :))
Charlie Bray ur so luckyyyyy
This made me uwu
Cool
Charlie Bray how did you meet him🥺
Amelie Slater you gotta buy special tickets that let you meet them backstage their like a couple hundred dollars sometimes depending who it is
can’t believe they released harry styles and rex orange county back to back! we stan tiny desk
The fact that we will never get a Mac and Rex collab truly breaks my heart
@@bowlof.oranges because mac passed away??
buy the rights to the unreleased music and sample it, kinda like drake did with michael jackson
This must be the most refreshing and wholesome tiny desk concert I've ever watched imo. I always go down here to binge while working from home. Thank you Rex and NPR!
I love how he asks permission to play each song. He did that at his concert in LA too 😭 He's so good live! The band put on such a good show!
this is exactly what I needed at 4:00 am during the quarantine to let my mind be more relaxed. thank you for bringing out an amazing artist that is both genuine and charming.
Rex "ay yo jonny, do you know why?"
Jonny "nah, but check this out.."
Rex "ey mike, waddya think, mike?"
Mike "not much bro, but hear this lick.."
his voice is so clear,,, im obsessed
Caught myself smiling while watching this and I don't even smile often. 😅
That sucks. Smile more sweaty!

These were the kids in the high school jazz band program that always came in first place.
Except... They're all British so they don't know what any of that means.
and deserved it haha
I believe he actually does ALL the instruments himself for the recording, and these blokes are his touring group. I saw ROC in January with my daughter, and it was exceptionally fun, and musically excellent!
Literally fell in love with him all over again
