Caamp: Tiny Desk Concert

>> Driving through West Virginia

and I've seldom been thinner with

that chip on my shoulder.

And this past year I got so much older.

Looking back over my life spent the most of it on time.

I wish I'd had more time listening to her speak her mind.

Now I'm thinking about it every day on my mind atypical way.

Are you a life force?

Thinking about it every day on my mind atypical way.

Are you a life force for me?

Drinking coffee black as I am

and I couldn't be much higher without falling out of my chair.

I've been so numb for so many years.

Now I'm thinking about everything on my mind in a typical way.

Are you a life force?

Thinking about >> >> everything on my mind in a typical way.

Are you a life force?

And it's so easy to be blinded by the light,

to be lost in the night.

It's blowing in the breeze, babe.

I got dust in my eyes and rust in my mind.

I'll be home come next spring.

Won't you say you love me later, bye and bye.

Looking back over my life.

Spent the most of it untied.

Holding my bell tight.

It's just you and me and all the stars tonight.

Two fingers in a tight line.

Keep my head above the water line.

>> >> I wish I had more time.

Listen to her speak her mind.

Thinking about everything on my mind in a typical way.

Are you a >> >> life force?

Thinking about everything on my mind in a typical way.

Are you a life force?

Thinking about it everyday, on my mind, a typical way.

Are you >> >> a life force?

Thinking about it everyday, >> >> on my mind, a typical way.

Are you a life force to me?

>> >> Yep.

I feel like I don't need to say it, but this is very cool.

Thank you very kindly for having us.

>> >> All right, this next tune is from a new record.

It's called Millions.

Shall we?

>> >> Love is a road and I'm going down.

Love is a road and I'm going down.

Yeah, I hope you'll be there.

Millions or more out among the crowd.

How will I how can I find you now?

I hope you'll be there.

Yeah, I hope you'll be there.

>> >> Oh, I hope you'll be there.

Oh, sweet life's a joke.

>> >> Color leaves your face now.

And all that you had hoped.

Gently slips away now.

>> >> Sure it comes and goes, but mostly >> >> Millions have called you a Thundercat.

I call my shot with a broken back, hoping you'll be there.

>> >> Love is a road, and there's truth to that.

Follow it blind, and it always gives back.

And baby, be there.

>> >> Yeah, I hope you'll be there.

Oh, I hope you'll be there.

>> >> Oh, sweet life's a joke.

Color leaves your face now.

And all that you had hoped.

Gently slips away now.

>> >> Sure it comes and goes, but mostly >> >> Yeah, I hope you'll be there.

Oh, I know you'll be there.

Oh, sweet life's a joke.

Color leaves your face now.

And all that you had hoped.

Jealousy slips away now.

It's more than I can take.

But you take it with a big smile.

>> >> Hey, maybe I should go.

But you tell me to stay a while.

Take your time as you go.

As you go.

Oh, yeah, as you go.

>> As you go.

>> >> Oh, thank you very much.

>> Sorry, Mike.

>> All right.

So, I was kind of thinking about something to say >> >> back there

and this morning and last night

and um you know >> >>

as artists and as creatives,

I think it's important

that we shed light on what's happening

and that's that's why we're artists is to speak to it

and to >> >> you know bring like-minded people together

and the world is really divisive right now

and it's like on fire

and very cold at the same time

and um I saw our friend Sheryl Crow share something this morning about she's

been in in Nashville without power for a few days

and just contemplating powerlessness um

and she kind of arrived at the thought

that you know,

you're never really without power

if you've got your people in your heart

and your spirit and um this next song is called

So Cool.

It's kind of about breaking rules

and falling in love

and chasing what you believe in.

Uh I'll just leave you with that.

>> You feel like a fool

when you happy snappy fingers along to your favorite song.

You look so cool when you do that.

Feel so good that you can't do no wrong.

We hate the law.

Hate those rules they made for us.

Bend them all.

And breaking rules is so cool to us.

>> >> Spent last fall picking apples off of the tree and into the bar.

Reminded me of picking apples you fell out of the tree

and into my arms.

We hate the law.

Hate those rules they made for us.

Bend them all.

And breaking rules is so cool to us.

And you still cool with us.

So back in Christmas Oh, I should have kissed you.

And I was so afraid for the longest time babe that I missed you.

We hate the law.

Hate those rules they made for us.

Bend them all.

And breaking rules is so cool to us.

And you still cool with us.

So cool.

So cool.

So cool.

So cool.

>> >> Oh, man.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, I'm like the most nervous

and the most within myself I think I've ever been in my life.

>> >> Um but yeah, as was said, you know,

10 years ago we started this band.

This man to my right.

And he's still on my right.

Um and we filmed a Tiny Desk at a buddy's brewery.

Um with a fire going and you know,

we were think I think we were red wine drunk despite being at a

brewery.

But it was the coolest thing we'd ever done.

And you know, the pipe dream of being here one day.

Um it felt just like that.

It felt felt like a dream.

Um so, without sounding too cheesy,

I guess this is a dream that we realized.

Proud to be here with you, brother.

All right, we'll leave you with this tune.

Which is uh called All the Debts I Owe.

That's the the song we sent in 10 years ago.

All right, thank y'all for being here.

>> >> Honey, honey.

>> >> Honey, honey, get the kids in the car now.

Put the cash in the trunk and get the keys, let's go.

Hit the biggest bank in Chicago.

Brought her with the thieves you know.

Remember the thing that I told you.

Three years, two moons of gold.

>> >> Promise I'll be right behind you.

Sure going to die if you don't hit the road.

Keep your lights down.

Keep your voice down low.

Wear your hair down.

Jewels away in the cold.

When I meet you in Idaho.

>> >> Three kids in the back of a Caddy.

She said, "Come here and kiss your wife."

I know you're real mad at me.

Sure I knew I sold kind of life.

Daniel, John, and Abby.

Promise me to teach them all tonight.

Keep your >> >> lights down.

Keep your voice down.

We'll hide down low.

Sure >> >> where you go.

And I'll meet you in either hole.

>> >> Well, I know you'll miss me.

I'm barely 50.

Come in with me all the debts I owe.

Don't have to kiss me, just bear with me.

And I'll be back someday, I hope.

I know you'll miss me.

I'm barely 50.

>> >> Come in with me all the debts I owe.

>> >> Don't have to kiss me, just bear with me.

And I'll be back someday, I hope.

>> >> You know I hope.

Oh, oh, oh, hope.

Oh, I hope.

>> WOO!

>> >> WOO!

>> >> WOO!

>> >> WOO!

>> >> WOO!
