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!

We Are The Strange Ones ~ Live at Rockwood Music Hall~ New Video

New YouTube video today! It;s “We Are The Strange Ones,” live, from their August concert at Rockwood Music Hall. It was a wonderful night with an incredible crowd.

This song is one of the most popular requests, and has been referred to as a second theme song of sorts (since there is already an official theme song.) Our society can make people feel like outsiders, simply because they care about things. If it is strange to care, that’s okay. We are strange. We’ll always care.

You can find the official track for this song on Spotify and all other music platforms, just click the links above.
