La Blogotheque & Watch Your Steps present:

Who Knows Who Cares by Local Native s
a Take Away Show - uncut version

——
As of now, there is not a proper write up in English, and the Google page translation is not very helpful. However it does produce comical gems like this:

“Since we do not let loose, and all are now pleased to offer the second Take Away Local Natives of these shirts to California questionable, but the wonderful music.”

But with my magical powers I figured out that this was shot at Palais-Royal in Paris — the former home of Cardinal Richelieu.

My favorite part of this and other Take Away Shows is the Sorkin-esque walk and ~~talk~~ play. Marching bands play on the move, but most other live music — even when band members jump around a lot or join the crowd for part of a song — are confined to a stage, rendered relatively static. I love watching bands walk through streets or buildings playing stripped down versions of their songs.

Can’t wait to see them w/ the LA Phil in 2 and a half weeks!

Being able to hear the rain and the thunder have their own performance while Taylor sings is probably one of the most incredible combination of sounds I have heard in a very long while. It is a great reminder to how nature and art meet and when they meet, they create something so overwhelmingly beautiful. With the talent of Local Natives, I promise you, nothing can sound better than this.

Also, having the first minute and 20 seconds of the video shot in black and white makes this video so much more personal, beautiful, and delicate.

I can go on and on about my favorite parts and just how mesmerizing this whole video is, but this is where I stop and you begin. Please, take some time to watch this magical video. It will brighten up your life. And, well need some brightening in our lives.

Enjoi.
