We set it to rest, and in its bareness it fell to grace from itself, like a ticking bomb, as a sign of our deepest carelessness. And you said you didn't want it to end yet, here we are, here we are. Like an empty husk, like a senseless scent of a time now bygone, like a hurricane, of which no sense of life is left behind. And I dance to the whim of its winds, do I give up now? Fate, turning tides to which we are all bound, what it's all about.

I don't mean to pry, if I lie along your side, do you even mind? Besides, you are leaving in the morning. Sorry I am boring. Tonight, I dance for all the things that you are leaving behind. And that's fine, that things are meant to be set aside, And even I know that. I move on from town, about twenty hundred miles across the countryside. I am leaving in the morning. I have to get going. Tonight, I dance for all the things that I am leaving behind. And that's fine, that things are meant to be set aside, And even you know that. And even I know that.

distrust 03:36
You are waiting for me to let go, so you can swoop right in. Impatiently longing, all for a bad opportunity. What were you hoping would come out of this? What were you thinking would come out of this? Distrust.

touched 03:04
I just want to scream, I wanna kill my voice, get rid of this body that I never chose. I want to be seen, but it gets pretty rough. Every pair of eyes try to look for what they want. I know what's like to be touched, but never be touched. Filled with regrets, contradictions saying otherwise, and I don't know why it took me this long.

And if you call me "baby," say it like you give a damn. Burrowed in words of longing, suspenseful despite respite. You used to hold me tightly a thousand years ago. Subterranean cryptic antics whose veil we dance around. We sat out back, holding hands and reading our cards. Mine's the tower and yours is the star, and afterwards we turned to our eyes, seeing past the current facade, watch the hours go by, besides we sat out back. You said adieu to everything. I say goodbye, my darling. We are only a passing sight. You had me at a hopeful maybe, a chance fighting for its right. I have not seen you lately, I have not seen you in a while. Time's flied by, my darling. I hope that you are doing alright.

well, now when people ask me, "what did you do while you were isolating in quarantine during a systematically challenging pandemic?," i get to say: this.

"unanswered questions and answers open to interpretation" is the first thoroughly recorded album by tiny desk. the album was recorded over the course of april 2020 (during the first full month of quarantine isolation), and it is comprised songs written over the course of 2019 and 2020. the songs provide different aspects of tiny desk's songwriting, with each song as an evolving and developing sound.

about

Tiny Desk Edmonton, Alberta

Tiny Desk is found in between fuzzy textures and cascading twinkly sounds. As the independent music project of interdisciplinary artist, Simone A. Medina Polo, Tiny Desk often depicts a vulnerable space, like gazes sinking deep into ceiling tiles in a quiet summer night captivated in a range from lo-fi distorted sounds to bedroom pop ballads. ... more
