Where Have You Been All My Life?, released on 8th January 2016, is a collection of songs that distils five years and three albums of Villagers’ songwriting into one flowing narrative.
Recorded in one day at London’s RAK Studio with Richard Woodcraft (Radiohead, The Last Shadow Puppets) and Villagers live engineer Ber Quinn, the album is a re-imagining of older material seamlessly woven with present glories from Villagers’ most recent studio album, Darling Arithmetic.
Released in April 2015, Conor O’Brien’s third album under the guise of Villagers was a more pared-back, intimate journey compared to the multi-faceted arrangements of Becoming A Jackal (2010) and {Awayland} (2013). This fresh approach was extended on subsequent Villagers tours, where old songs were reinvented to match the new. Then for one day in July 2015, 18 songs were quickly captured and 12 songs chosen for the final album, making it Villagers’ most intense, but satisfying, session to date. These recordings are all first or second takes, and the immediacy of the occasion was part of the magic that day, live and unadorned by overdubs or studio trickery.
The unique nature of these arrangements is due in no small part to the musicians in the room at the time of recording: Cormac Curran on grand piano and analogue synthesizer, Danny Snow on double bass, Mali Llywelyn on harp, mellotron and vocals, and Gwion Llewelyn on drums, flugelhorn and vocals. The result is a lush, harmony-laden and vibrant document of a time and a place.

+Ana Martinez The Villagers have added a rich, new dimension to my life since I discovered them on World Cafe. Conor is out of this world wonderful
Heard this version first and nothing comes close to it. It’s just so beautifully balanced. Sound, texture, Lyrics all of which are so relevant. ‘Honeybee cemetery’....amazing
jaysus this is so amazing, i can't stop listening to this one...
Best thing I ever heard & it's perfect direction for me to move on
I just fell in love
What a fantastic rendition of this piece of excellent songwriting! Looking forward to the album, sounding as brilliant and innovative as always.
I'm always amazed at what you do next. You're always changing and it's immensely gratifying to hear you try new things and explore you. I can't wait to hear what's after "Where Have You Been All My Life." Honestly, I kind of want to hear what you could do on a pop album. I think it could be a good recipe. Keep making Art, I love it.
i kinda wish this was the album version...

Im very happy we have both versions. And have to say the first time I heard the album version i was absolutely on edge of my seat. Loved hearing Villagers leaning that direction.
This is so incredibly beautiful. The more I listen to, the more touched and moved I am. Thank you!
This is just absolutely amazing!
Bezaubernde Musik, grossartige Emotionen und grossartige tiefe Texte
really nice song, makes me feel ready for a new sequence of my life, especially this part until 2:10 makes me feel slightly euphoric
beautiful!
I think your band is one of my new favorites.
Im kinda glad this is not a well known song because it can be a gem of my own.
❤
Mega schön ❤️
Lovely version
Wonderful song
Damn magnificent
It takes a lot for a youtube video to have zero dislikes. This is great
Oh Conor, why you keep doing this to me! This is superb.
