I'm hoping derogatory terms are not used against groups..we should use positive, empowering terms. For everyone. I love a tiny desk...I'll scratch them into a 2nd graders desk in every school in TN.🎉
what am I doing bro? I love Austin, I don't think it's so obvious :D, I'm a regular person who watches TH-cam videos too, I don't comment for affirmation, but rather to affirm the artist :)@@PremiumUserUltra
The bassist's face the entire time is that of someone who knows they are part of something special, just living in the moment in disbelief. Beautiful, beautiful art.
He did something brilliant, which was to make the sound really *big* even though it's acoustic. So it's a really warm sound, instead of desperate or lonely. They're all breakup songs.
I’m 75year old. Had stopped listening to music for years. Listening to Post Malone I am back. I love his voice and I can understand the lyrics Thank You !
I hear you. I am a 70s music fan. am in my 60s and love Taylor Swift (with her mature voice). Definitely one of the best songwriters ever - her storytelling is exceptional and her lyricism is bar none (I recommend folklore - it is mostly stories) And you can u set stand everything she says without looking at lyrics.
He has a singer songwriters mentality. No matter how big he’s gotten, he still has all the awkward genuine energy of someone who truly cares about his craft. Breath of fresh air.
You can tell, even though I don't listen at all and know only the most famous titles from his repertoire, they all sound like something only he could have done. There was this one time too I wasn't sure it was his voice I was listening to but I recognized him still because his style was a bit different, but the vibe was there.
I couldn't agree more it reminded me of Mac Miller's mini desk concert in the sense that you can see and hear the passion for their craft and the music.
This dude works so hard. His voice was crazy strained because he was doing back to back shows on tour and still fit this in. Even with strained voice he sounds good.
ok fair enough he is post molone crazy artist and perfomer, i listen to his music from time to time... but if you listen to the first minute with your eyes closed.. its rough.
@@drew75123 I think he doesn't sound good at all. Possibly touring took a toll on his voice then again the live clips I have seen he mostly just sings over a playback track which is pretty lame but the standard these days I reckon. Still like some of his music
@@packotakkoyou’re braindead I fear. Dude is pitch perfect effortlessly 💀 no autotune needed. Idk how you think touring has “took a toll” when he’s quite literally perfectly on key😭
0:01 Sunflower - I'm not nervous at all actually 4:18 I Fall Apart - How bout them Cowboys? 8:28 Circles - This song is about a square 13:17 Enough is Enough - This song is off the new album ... and therefor I will sing it for you guys today, or attempt to
The guy playing bass in the back is really jamming with Posty. He's all smiles, and you can tell he's enjoying this jam session with Posty, along with the others! And Posty never ceases to amaze his fans. Live or recording, hands down!
I fall apart - hit different without autotune. The raw emotion in his voice and his semi-introverted personality - Post has to be one of the coolest, most down to earth people on the planet!
All the little imperfections in this set are awesome. Everytime his voice cracks, he fails to finish a sentence fully, gives everything so much emotion and raw beauty. It's incredible
@@samiamiamifer when he was in Jacksonville, he swung by Jax beach and took the stage with my buddies and just wanted to do Nirvana and Sublime covers. totally cool
I hardly ever comment on any videos, but....... I was moved to tears by the amazing rendition of Sunflowers! Thank you to everyone responsible for making this available to me. I send you love & blessings and wish you the best of everything 🙏
I love how the tiny desk concerts always have the artist almost blushing, its like a throw back to singing at your friends garage. I can tell this show was personal for him and his songs were selected with intent. Warmed my heart this fine Sunday morning. God bless you posty.
He's a super sweet and unique individual but let's not be blind to the poor quality that he showcased. He was the worst singer of the whole band and he made so many mistakes on the guitar. It's very honest of him to admit it but he's a professional and this is his profession. He is lacking and to me this means he wasted my time. And I really hate saying it bc I don't want to be a Posty hater 😭
@@alex-ia944 there is a difference between recording artists and live performers 👍 recording artist like post do multiple takes when they make songs plus the autotune which is not a bad thing at all coming from an artist, you can look at this in the way that he even had guts to perform without autotune live cus i have seen so many mainstream recording artist who wont do this kinda thing : )
@@vedide3804 Or he could take his profession more serious and take singing classes. I'm sure he has the money. At the end it's really just my opinion and I didn't mean any wrong 😔
I had no idea how humble he really is. What an amazing musician. Thank you NPR for making theses concerts available to us all. I discover musicians I never would normally listen to.
Supremely agreed. I find myself delving into artists that I "know" but don't have the desire to listen to normally. But after seeing the honesty that comes through in a Tiny Desk performance, I find myself giving them a real chance, and am frequently rewarded. Thank you, @NPR Music
It’s become a cliche thing to say, but watch his Joe Rogan podcast appearances. I’ll be honest I had a completely different idea of what he’d be like as a person but he’s super interesting!
I went to one of his concerts recently and he was thanking his crew and shouting out everyone that was performing on stage with him every chance he got. He honestly was the most humble performer I’ve ever seen.
Bass players smile was infectious. Dude was stoked the whole way through, I almost get the feeling they did very little rehearsals and he was impressed/grateful at how organic and spontaneous the whole jam played out
A friend told me, Post really should be touring with a small band like this - cause the meaning of his songs get lost in the tunes! Now I get what he meant!! The pain in his voice, gives meaning to the lyrics, you won't be able to pick up in a big concert with 15thousand watts!!! Now I actually began to like his Art!! Thank you!!
that too. alcohol isn't good for the throat as well. I'm saying this out of love if it wasn't clear. My throat is in horrible pain from a cold/flu thing right now too @@christophermillikan5257
NPR is a pretty incredible in general. Just about the last trustworthy and genuine thing in the mainstream. They have done a great job safeguarding from chasing profits and trying to aim for marketshare.
so true! npr has been great since I was a kid, in music, interviews, etc. All the musicians seem to feel genuinely appreciated for their music on these
@@Christina0925 He is literally one of the most famous musicians right now, right behind Taylor Swift. A lot of his songs are number 1, GLOBALLY. He was number 1 on Billboard's year-end Top Artists chart for 2020. His music is referenced in a lot of major media constantly. He is not just famous, he is one of the most famous people in music right now.
I can’t help but notice how much the people around him seem look at him with so much admiration. And seem to be having so much fun as well! Infectious energy, Post! Love it! ❤
@@japlunkett6789 his newest album is great. It's much more toned down than his first 3. I would highly recommend giving it a listen. Make it a point to try all types of music!
@@jwoods2715just listened to most of it. It like it... but it's not as raw as this performance. And that's when I enjoy Post the most (didn't mean for that to rhyme lol)
I barely listened to his music until I heard his interview on Howard Stern. This humble man's life is beyond amazing and he teaches me to true meaning of humility.
@@Squatchygal I personally only heard bits and pieces of his earlier stuff but didn't think much of it...then I saw his Nirvana session during Covid and did a complete 180 on his abilities and how grounded he is. Then stuff like this only cements things. I wish he performed with a full band more often. Add in a lot of stuff with him having pure genuine interactions with fans and it's pretty obvious he's not just good, he's needed.
their engineer is incredible. the howard stern show has probably the best live performance engineering I've ever heard oddly enough, worth looking up post's performances there as well
I only "discovered" this man a month ago and keep coming back to you tube to listen to/watch him. There is something so charming and lovable about him, the quaver in his voice and the way he moves, a lot of charisma in this man. Glad I found him. Thanks Tiny Desk! (his mouth is worth more than my house! But I wouldn't trade.)
Talk about being vulnerable and compassionate. Not only did Posty take time during his surely busy tour schedule to perform this for us but he also did it with a severely strained voice and a smile. What a performer. What an artist. What a human 💚
There is something just magic about NPR. Like a big class project and everyone did the homework and the whole team knocks it out of the park every time. Would love to hear all the artists say what NPR means to them.
His warmth and happiness is infectious. A pleasure to watch, his generosity, humility and selflessness is a joy and we are truely honoured to watch this performance. Well done Postie, the nephew of invention
Dude is one of the most talented artist of this generation hands down. This dude can sell a country album and a hip hop album and go platinum . I would love for him and Blind Fury to do a country /hip hop Album they would win a Grammy for sure
Notice how every time the other musicians came in, his voice seemed to start “trusting itself”. A little more confidence each time no matter how worn he might have been from tour. That’s why I love playing music with great musicians around you. It brings the best out of ya no matter what shape you’re in. This is sick
I love tiny desk concerts because a musician cannot hide. It's only their voice and their music laid bare. You passed the test in my opinion Posty. Good on ya.
Meeting Post Malone in person when he performed in my city was such an incredible experience. He’s the most humble person I’ve ever met, and his concert was truly special because it happened just one day before I moved abroad. It was a moment I’ll always carry with me, especially since I got a signed Funko Pop! That concert, his energy, and his down-to-earth personality made the whole experience unforgettable. Posty
The woman harmonizing “she wanna ride me like a cruise” starts to smirk right after lol. I would pay to see a full concert of this setup. All their vocals together with all the live instruments sounds incredibly amazing to my ears!
Obviously a little different but his current tour is with full band, strings and all. Not this band but a really really talented band. We saw him in Dallas and it was amazing!
He is so sweet and genuine and has a shy side, but doesn't take himself too seriously. He is friendly and with a sense of humor. He's modest, and even when he thinks his voice is "balls right now", he sounds amazing and has a lot of range in his voice that I never noticed before! As a new fan, in May 2024. He's brilliantly gifted, I look forward to seeing more from him.
It kind of sounds like you see those things as a crutch or something, when they’re just part of his sound. An acoustic album would be cool, but there’s nothing wrong with electronic music or auto tune. It’s just another tool in a musicians toolkit
@@Radarssbm yeah... but it ruins the purity of it all . He is doing very well i think :D its just that Feeling that his music would be richer without electronics
This entire performance was completely magical. I love the way the entire band works together. I play violin and I could only dream of playing in a band like this! Everyone cheering at the end and the entire band smiling really made me cry. I wish the performance was longer, but I’m just grateful that I got to watch it. Peace and love to everyone reading this ✌🏻 ❤️
Ending so strong with Enough Is Enough was absolutely beautiful. You can tell that the band loves and supports him in the way that he needs them to in order to give the best possible performance by all of them. It’s so beautiful to hear but also to see so much talent on one tiny desk ❤❤❤❤
I love how awkward his bows are. Like “I know I don’t deserve this, but thank you”. He is so good. Crosses genres so well. Just a good dude playing excellent music.
Post seems like such a beautiful person and even the way he sits shows vulnerability and shyness. I pray he feels all the love from his fans and that it’s enough for him to see how valuable he is.
The whole concept of tiny desk concert is so subtle but beautiful, with the artist in the centre surrounded by books. Gets me in the vibe whenever i tune in….❤️
As a person who just saw him in concert, and then see this released, this is the real deal. His voice is stretched to the limits right now, and Bob is not using auto tune on his mic or the background vocals as far as I can tell. That vibrato he has is really actually crazy. Is it perfect? No. Is it a real band of rockstars and some of the best talent in the world? Yes.
Loving these Tiny Desk concerts! It's a flashback to the MTV Unplugged days, which truly showed how great bands and artists were and so do Tiny Desk concerts
It's been over a year, but this concert is still at the top of my listening list. Every single second spent listening feels absolutely worth it. He truly is an incredible talent.
It's really driving me nuts how much better this is than any of the official album versions. Post Malone, you seem like a real nice guy. Could you get this band back together and record all of your songs like this? That would be amazing
He’s one of the guys on top that is too humble to take it for granted. We are lucky to have an example of that. His parents should be proud. He turned out to be a good man.
That's crazy man, I love how Tiny Desk consistently brings out brand-new, refreshing arrangements of songs we've come to know. I had no idea the first song was Sunflower until he started singing! This is probabaly one of my favorite Tiny Desk concerts tbh
Post is just a great guy. I took my then 10 old son to see him in early 2020. He made sure my boy got a sunflower, his tech delivered smashed pieces of his guitar to him, and Post came down to autograph one of them for him. I’ll never forget how kind he was. Just an all around good dude… and his talent is generational.
I am a big NPR fan and Always put Austin’s work aside since it didn’t fit my genre. After this little session I’m proud to say NPR brought me Post Malone . 🎉

Everything Post Malone does, he acts like it’s the most fun he has ever had in his life. A true gift to humanity
Agree!
how weird. He's an entertainer who literally gets paid to entertain. Not like he's saving the world, cured cancer or something. 🤣

Annoying when other channels do this, it's obvious what you're doing.
I always heard it in these songs, how strong they are as pop-- which means you can arrange them in all sorts of different ways.

youtube calls him posty and has auto capitalization turned off.

Love me some dislike viewer count but you guys took that joy away from us 😞
An acoustic version of Sunflowers with piano and violins? Are you kidding me? Austin, are you kidding me?! Stunning.
He did something brilliant, which was to make the sound really *big* even though it's acoustic. So it's a really warm sound, instead of desperate or lonely. They're all breakup songs.
They have been with him this tour, he has performed with a live band, including the classical instruments. It was fantastic.

This dude works so hard. His voice was crazy strained because he was doing back to back shows on tour and still fit this in. Even with strained voice he sounds good.
The version of I Fall Apart was on another level. The lyrics cut so much deeper sung in such a "raw" state. Goosebumps.
Yeah the song is good, but then you hear this version ans you really feel it for the first time
More like a battle cry. Visceral.
I loved “I fall apart” before but when I heard this one… OmG!! I’m forever a fan of Post Malone.
The violins put it on a whole other level
Couldn’t agree more. A surprise stat from this concert, in my opinion.
THIS IS SO GOOD! His natural voice is just incredible and filled with passion. I want a full album with it.

Its because this doesn't have autotune, he always sings like this but the autotune covers it up.
Shoutout to whoever did the arrangements on these songs because they’re PHENOMENAL! Same with the audio engineering!!
I was thinking the same thing!! The arrangements were incredible. I'm sure they arranged it and rehearsed it like once too lol.
Sound is always on point on tiny desk!
@@yourtailorisapunkI always like to think the books help, lol
Thank you!
NPR Tiny Desk is such a humble setting for artists; it makes one appreciate their humanity and commonality.
Post is the best of the modern bunch by far the way he changes up musical genres ✌️ ❤️ 🥊 🏴
It helps that he appears to be a pretty grounded guy just about everywhere I see him. I loved his recent interview with Zane Lowe.
@@neilwood8794 Small minds would view it that way.
A very diplomatic way of shitting on Posty!
The “tiny desk” is a lie. It’s a set it a fairly modern office. Nothing around it looks anything like it.
Still one of the best live performances I’ve seen
Mad respect for not lowering the tuning despite his vocal strain from touring. What a great performance by Post and all the other musicians!
Yes, he is definitely struggling at the beginning, almost out of tune
was just gonna say this. dude pulls his weight for sure.
@@Eprado30412000 he was def rough round the edges whole set. Feel bad for him dude needs rest
Dude needs to stop smoking :(@@laserbeamlightning
that too. alcohol isn't good for the throat as well. I'm saying this out of love if it wasn't clear. My throat is in horrible pain from a cold/flu thing right now too @@christophermillikan5257
So great to hear his real voice. It's not even close to perfect, but it's raw, organic, and most importantly human.
And it's even better that he's doin so well with a strained throat because he's doing his tour 😁
"Perfect" is subjective. Post's voice is perfect, becasue it's his tone. No one else's.

Here here 🎉
You've just described a perfect voice tho lol See your own comment, my friend!
Everyone on Tiny Desk is always so joyful. Something about what you folks built over there is cultivating some real positive vibes.
NPR is a pretty incredible in general. Just about the last trustworthy and genuine thing in the mainstream. They have done a great job safeguarding from chasing profits and trying to aim for marketshare.
so true! npr has been great since I was a kid, in music, interviews, etc. All the musicians seem to feel genuinely appreciated for their music on these
these are truly beautiful songs from my big brother Austin ..
Seeing someone with so much fame yet so much humility is a wonderful thing
He’s not that famous
@@Christina0925ok Christina 😂😂
@@Christina0925¿?
@@Christina0925 He is literally one of the most famous musicians right now, right behind Taylor Swift. A lot of his songs are number 1, GLOBALLY. He was number 1 on Billboard's year-end Top Artists chart for 2020. His music is referenced in a lot of major media constantly. He is not just famous, he is one of the most famous people in music right now.

I do love him.
He amazes in a cool way
U need to get out more love
Tiny desk performances should be a Grammy award class on its own.
Seriously they keep me sane
Anderson Paak and Mac and Post in top 10 for sure
@@marcusfoto Alicia Keys & Coldplay aswell.
Absolutely
I think It doesn't need to be competitive. Let's just enjoyed it this way..
I’ve listened to so many of these tiny desks and this has to be one of the most genuine and best performances there is. Truly captivating
His energy in between the songs, his talking. It makes me think of Mac’s tiny desk. Gives off the same positive vibe
Same
Nobody can touch Macs Tiny Desk but Post gave it a good shot.
@@TheFifthOfNovember93he was comparing the vibes, not the performance.
Dude
you can see macs hat at start in the back
Post has been working so incredibly hard. I hope when is tour is over he takes some much deserved time to rest and enjoy all of his hard work
Agreed , I saw him in Boston and Hartford. 110% put in at every show that he performs.
His voice is a bit shredded, but it matches his music.

I can’t help but notice how much the people around him seem look at him with so much admiration. And seem to be having so much fun as well! Infectious energy, Post! Love it! ❤
I didn't know this arrangement of Sunflower was something I needed in my life. That was incredible.

I feel like Molly Tuttle does a good cover worth hearing also.

As a Metal head this is one man I would pay to see . This is talent. Cheers to Post .
This rendition of "I Fall Apart" is absolutely perfect. Blown away
I don’t like Post, and have made a point not to listen to his music, but this hits hard.
@@japlunkett6789 his newest album is great. It's much more toned down than his first 3. I would highly recommend giving it a listen. Make it a point to try all types of music!
Dude sang almost the whole thing out of tune, what are you even talking about lol
I'm sobbing!
@@thingsofinterest603 🤓
We really could use more people like Posty in this world. He really seems like the most content, wholesome, chill person on earth.
Wow a full album from Post Malone in this style would be great
fr. need
And tour!
Check his new album. Same vibe
He just released exactly what you’re asking for
@@jwoods2715just listened to most of it. It like it... but it's not as raw as this performance. And that's when I enjoy Post the most (didn't mean for that to rhyme lol)
I barely listened to his music until I heard his interview on Howard Stern. This humble man's life is beyond amazing and he teaches me to true meaning of humility.
The base guitarist is legitimately one of the happiest guys I have ever seen - he's absolutely in the moment and enjoying life! Love seeing that!!
To be up there listening to a 1nce in a lifetime artist with all good songs.
The drummer looks like he is having a blast as well
Post Malone is the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover.
yes!
Best comment
What’s wrong with his cover??
@@Squatchygalmainly the ppl who just see his tattoos
@@Squatchygal I personally only heard bits and pieces of his earlier stuff but didn't think much of it...then I saw his Nirvana session during Covid and did a complete 180 on his abilities and how grounded he is. Then stuff like this only cements things. I wish he performed with a full band more often.
Add in a lot of stuff with him having pure genuine interactions with fans and it's pretty obvious he's not just good, he's needed.
Whoever mixed this did a phenomenal job!
their engineer is incredible. the howard stern show has probably the best live performance engineering I've ever heard oddly enough, worth looking up post's performances there as well
Ikr sound is actually incredible
The unsung heroes
Especially micing all these singers and musicians in such close proximity isn't easy and get good results
@@Cruz0083 whats cool is the shelving background that is behind them with all the books probably helps with that tremendously. Naturally dampening
I only "discovered" this man a month ago and keep coming back to you tube to listen to/watch him. There is something so charming and lovable about him, the quaver in his voice and the way he moves, a lot of charisma in this man. Glad I found him. Thanks Tiny Desk! (his mouth is worth more than my house! But I wouldn't trade.)
Talk about being vulnerable and compassionate. Not only did Posty take time during his surely busy tour schedule to perform this for us but he also did it with a severely strained voice and a smile. What a performer. What an artist. What a human 💚
There is something just magic about NPR. Like a big class project and everyone did the homework and the whole team knocks it out of the park every time. Would love to hear all the artists say what NPR means to them.
That is such a great description
all the times that we got used to the world trying to sell us ever more useless sh:t & then one day we hear a gem that cuts straight thru our fences
His warmth and happiness is infectious. A pleasure to watch, his generosity, humility and selflessness is a joy and we are truely honoured to watch this performance. Well done Postie, the nephew of invention
The nobody mod that banned me from Ian slaters twitch on 8/18/23 will pay the piper
Dude is one of the most talented artist of this generation hands down. This dude can sell a country album and a hip hop album and go platinum . I would love for him and Blind Fury to do a country /hip hop Album they would win a Grammy for sure
Notice how every time the other musicians came in, his voice seemed to start “trusting itself”. A little more confidence each time no matter how worn he might have been from tour. That’s why I love playing music with great musicians around you. It brings the best out of ya no matter what shape you’re in. This is sick
I felt that too. Its like he was happy with the way things were sounding which in turn helped him find that groove.
You speak the truth, brother!!
That version of “I fall apart” was insane. I need a single asap.
I love tiny desk concerts because a musician cannot hide. It's only their voice and their music laid bare. You passed the test in my opinion Posty. Good on ya.
Just when I had same thoughts after singing along, I read your comment. He did so great.
uhhh what? he has like 70 people up there backing him up. thats the most ive ever seen in a tiny desk concert. hes ridiculously hidden.
Smokes too much, you can hear it I’m his vocals.
We used to call these Unplugged
His back singers aren't assisting at all in dangerous territory. Stop hating @@MrHeart12
Meeting Post Malone in person when he performed in my city was such an incredible experience. He’s the most humble person I’ve ever met, and his concert was truly special because it happened just one day before I moved abroad. It was a moment I’ll always carry with me, especially since I got a signed Funko Pop! That concert, his energy, and his down-to-earth personality made the whole experience unforgettable. Posty
I love his voice. Wish he'd do a whole acoustic album.
His old TH-cam account from when he was in HS is still up and it's mostly acoustic guitar stuff
YES!!!!
It needs to happen
Where do i find that? @@tartuffethespry
he did a great one in Rome.. search for PostMalone Rome concert.. is about 40 mins long.. its amazing and so personal, small crowd, amazing vibes
He’s like the Keanu Reeves of music. Very humble, and really seems to understand, and appreciate his audience.
Love this
You mean Kenue Reeves is the post Malone of the acting world
Keanu bro Keanu
@@AbhishekSharma-hp8xf Thanks!
@@kylegonzalez5842 Keanu was born earlier, so he wins this round.
The woman harmonizing “she wanna ride me like a cruise” starts to smirk right after lol. I would pay to see a full concert of this setup. All their vocals together with all the live instruments sounds incredibly amazing to my ears!
I was giggling too bc its kinda funny to hear that line being harmonized lol
Obviously a little different but his current tour is with full band, strings and all. Not this band but a really really talented band. We saw him in Dallas and it was amazing!
Just love that a song with the lyrics "she wanna ride me like a cruise" is accompanied by 3 violins and a cello.
@@mississippiparkreviewer13glad yall had fun i hear all the time he’s awesome live
@@ljirish64just how they imagined it when they wrote it lol
He is so sweet and genuine and has a shy side, but doesn't take himself too seriously. He is friendly and with a sense of humor. He's modest, and even when he thinks his voice is "balls right now", he sounds amazing and has a lot of range in his voice that I never noticed before! As a new fan, in May 2024. He's brilliantly gifted, I look forward to seeing more from him.
You can tell how much fun the band and backup singers were having singing Posty's tunes. Mad respect and great performance
I hope this session brings him the courage to do a record without electronics and autotune. He is gifted. The World needs an Austin Acoustic record. ❤
It kind of sounds like you see those things as a crutch or something, when they’re just part of his sound. An acoustic album would be cool, but there’s nothing wrong with electronic music or auto tune. It’s just another tool in a musicians toolkit
Look up his nirvana cover set
@@Radarssbm yeah... but it ruins the purity of it all . He is doing very well i think :D its just that Feeling that his music would be richer without electronics
@@menasouvlaki3595 its amazing
This entire performance was completely magical. I love the way the entire band works together. I play violin and I could only dream of playing in a band like this! Everyone cheering at the end and the entire band smiling really made me cry. I wish the performance was longer, but I’m just grateful that I got to watch it. Peace and love to everyone reading this ✌🏻 ❤️
nah. too much diversity.
Post inspires me.. My parents said if i get 40K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
Ending so strong with Enough Is Enough was absolutely beautiful. You can tell that the band loves and supports him in the way that he needs them to in order to give the best possible performance by all of them. It’s so beautiful to hear but also to see so much talent on one tiny desk ❤❤❤❤
I love how awkward his bows are. Like “I know I don’t deserve this, but thank you”. He is so good. Crosses genres so well. Just a good dude playing excellent music.
❤
Yeah, I don't really care for celebrity much but Post definitely seems like someone I would enjoy meeting and getting to talk to
❤ thank you
@@fatherhoodshortfilmyeah it’s wild everyone that meets him loves him
NPR sound engineer blasting that out of the park. Again. That sound quality is mind boggling especially in that setting.
After so many of these they’ve had plenty of practice.
lol mind boggling is perfect
Post seems like such a beautiful person and even the way he sits shows vulnerability and shyness. I pray he feels all the love from his fans and that it’s enough for him to see how valuable he is.
🙄
Dude is mediocre at best but go off
@@padarousouthey’re really just wishing him well, every person should feel worthy like that. It doesn’t matter if he is a great artist or not
@@willfeen True. I just always thought people need to take it out of their mouth when they talk about this guy
@@padarousou He is the best ngl, not a pm fan tho
The whole concept of tiny desk concert is so subtle but beautiful, with the artist in the centre surrounded by books. Gets me in the vibe whenever i tune in….❤️
As a person who just saw him in concert, and then see this released, this is the real deal. His voice is stretched to the limits right now, and Bob is not using auto tune on his mic or the background vocals as far as I can tell. That vibrato he has is really actually crazy. Is it perfect? No. Is it a real band of rockstars and some of the best talent in the world? Yes.
defo no autotune cos u can hear all the imperfections
who's Bob?
He doesnt have a good voice but he makes it work.
It's better than perfect. It's genuine. It's honest. Never been a fan of him but this is crazy.
@@johnfinn6367pretty sure he’s the producer/tech guy at NPR for these concerts, remember hearing Hobo Johnson mentioning his name a while back!

It's really driving me nuts how much better this is than any of the official album versions. Post Malone, you seem like a real nice guy. Could you get this band back together and record all of your songs like this? That would be amazing
Almost all live performances are better. As long as the artist has sufficient talent. :) Wonderful!
This should be an album :)
I wanna hear an acoustic version of Chemical ;__; ♥♥
At this point, you're just lying.
Don't be shy boy, you got it goin on!
He’s one of the guys on top that is too humble to take it for granted. We are lucky to have an example of that. His parents should be proud. He turned out to be a good man.
That's crazy man, I love how Tiny Desk consistently brings out brand-new, refreshing arrangements of songs we've come to know. I had no idea the first song was Sunflower until he started singing! This is probabaly one of my favorite Tiny Desk concerts tbh
The sound engineering is immaculate. Big ups to the sound engineers at NPR Tiny Desk!
So true! They did a phenomenal job! You could look at a certain instrument or singer and hear them so clearly, like it was the only thing playing.
This Sunflower interpretation had me instantly tearing up.
It's so crazy beautiful.
Yea,the passion is real.

Post is just a great guy. I took my then 10 old son to see him in early 2020. He made sure my boy got a sunflower, his tech delivered smashed pieces of his guitar to him, and Post came down to autograph one of them for him. I’ll never forget how kind he was. Just an all around good dude… and his talent is generational.
