Gravestone Feel by Lillian Frances (Tiny Desk Contest 2022)

In my life I am continually balancing and merging my two loves: music and rock climbing. About six months ago I had a crazy idea to film a music video from a portaledge, and I knew just the occasion: NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest. So, for my sixth TDC entry, I held a tiny concert on a tiny portaledge. After a lot of day-dreaming and researching and coordinating, we somehow pulled it off.

A million thank you’s to everyone who made this possible: Amanda Lipp and Torey Phillips and Kevin Deweese for being the absolute dream team; Damien Verett for letting me use his mic; The Library of Musiclandria for letting me check out miscellaneous gear; Squirrel and Petch and John Laraccas for showing me where to go and who to talk to; to my dad for taking me climbing as a kid and always getting us roped up in the national parks; my sister for providing noodles of emotional support, and my mamma for being the best mamma.

Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Babe you know I got that gravestone feel
I'ma run run run till I break my heels
Whatcha doin? You should join me
Got a long ride ahead I could use some company

I got six strings, ten fingers, ten toes
And I'ma run these soles as far as they can go, cause
I'm a string, an instrument, a chime,
And who am I to think that the time that ticks is mine?

Hey, running to my gravestone quick
Running to the angels, hey
Running till my ankles click
Running from my anger, hey
Running to my gravestone quick
Running straight to danger, hey
Running form the same ol' shit
Run run run run run

So, how you like me now that I'm free?
You know you could come along, run run your feet
So, follow me or in place you will be,The cards are in your hands, you can change your destiny

Cause ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Truth is all my heroes are living underground|
But, what's the point of me running so fast
Got the dirt between my toes and I want it to last

Hey, running to my gravestone quick
Running to the angels, hey
Running till my ankles click
Running from my anger, hey
Running to my gravestone quick
Running straight to danger, hey
Running form the same ol' shit
Run run run run run

Running to my gravestone quick
Running to the angels, hey
Running till my ankles click
Running from my anger, hey
Running to my gravestone quick
Running straight to danger, hey
Running form the same ol' shit
Run run run run run
