NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2024 ~ Each Time You Go Away

The Repressions’ new song “Each Time You Go Away” is the official entry for NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest 2024! This contest features independent artists and is a splendid showcase of songwriting and desks! A new tiny desk and all of the previous customized tiny desks can be found in the video

In life we try on many hats, as we should, to figure out who we are. The world at large puts many hats, labels, and behaviors upon us that may not align with who we really are, and the parts of ourselves that we know, deeply, and without pretense. Each Time You Go Away is a song about going away from, and trying to get back to, your true self.

Thank you for watching and remember to seek out the other artists in the contest, it is always full of talent!
