Daughter: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Daughter first popped up on our radar when we heard the London band's song "Landfill" while preparing for SXSW early last year: Achingly pretty and melancholy, the track builds to an absolute gut-punch of a line — "I want you so much, but I hate your guts" — that conjures a pitch-perfect mix of gloom, desire and hostility. The group has since released a full-length album, this year's lovely If You Leave, but Daughter was kind enough to resuscitate "Landfill" for this stripped-down performance at the Tiny Desk. As you'll see and hear, that aforementioned gut-punch is a recurring specialty for the band: In all three of these sad, searing songs, singer Elena Tonra showcases a remarkable gift for coolly but approachably dishing out weary words that resonate and devastate. --STEPHEN THOMPSON Set List "Youth" "Landfill" "Tomorrow" Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Denise DeBelius, Stephen Thompson; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Parker Miles Blohm, Chloe Coleman, Denise DeBelius

Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

He seemed so casual — sitting on a bar stool behind the Tiny Desk, acoustic guitar in hand — but when you hear that husky voice, you'll know why he's a legend. Oliver Mtukudzi, or "Tuku" as his fans lovingly call him, plays spirited music, born from the soul of Zimbabwe. He's been recording since the late 1970s, with about as many albums as his age: 60. But Mtukudzi's new record reveals a heavier heart than before: Sarawoga is his first recording since the loss of his son Sam. He and Sam — also a guitar player, as well as a saxophonist — had a special relationship touring together. But in March 2010, Sam Mtukudzi was killed in a car crash at the age of 21. Oliver Mtukudzi recently told NPR's Tell Me More that "the only way to console myself is to carry on doing what we loved doing most. Sitting down [to] cry and mourn — I think it would have killed me." So here is the legend himself, with much to share in the odd intimacy of an office desk. A special moment. --BOB BOILEN Set List "Todii" "Huroi" "Haidyoreke" Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Denise DeBelius; Editor: Gabriella Garcia-Pardo; Audio Engineer: Suraya Mohamed; Videographers: Denise DeBelius, Christopher Parks

San Fermin: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

San Fermin's music bursts with ambition, talent and extreme joy. Its self-titled debut is charged with great storytelling and amazing vocals by both Allen Tate and Lucius singers Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe. Then there are the arrangements: little gems that turn these songs into cinematic vignettes using trumpet, sax, keyboard, violin, guitar and drums. San Fermin is the musical vision of Ellis Ludwig-Leone, who wrote these songs with Tate's dark, rich voice in mind. Here at the Tiny Desk, Rae Cassidy makes the album's female vocal parts her own; in fact, the entire band keeps growing into these little song-worlds. I've seen San Fermin three times this year, and the songs keep gathering more power, intrigue and fire. The album provides a jumping-off point for a 2014 that promises to be huge for San Fermin. --BOB BOILEN Set List "Oh Darling" "Sonsick" "Renaissance!"

NPR, formerly National Public Radio, is a privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization that serves as a national syndicator to a network of 900 public radio stations in the United States.

NPR produces and distributes news and cultural programming. Individual public radio stations are not required to broadcast all NPR programs that are produced. Most public radio stations broadcast a mixture of NPR programs, content from rival providers American Public Media, Public Radio International and Public Radio Exchange, and locally produced programs. NPR's flagships are two drive time news broadcasts, Morning Edition and the afternoon All Things Considered; both are carried by most NPR member stations, and are two of the most popular radio programs in the country.

NPR manages the Public Radio Satellite System, which distributes NPR programs and other programming from independent producers and networks such as American Public Media and Public Radio International. Its content is also available on-demand via the web, mobile, and podcasts.

Ryan Lewis (born March 25, 1988) is an American music producer, musician, music video director, photographer, graphic designer, rapper and DJ currently based in Seattle. He is best known for his collaboration with American rapper Macklemore (Ben Haggerty) producing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis — The VS. EP (2009), The Heist (2012) and a handful of other singles. Since the beginning of their collaboration in late 2008, Ryan has produced, recorded, engineered and mixed all of the music, directed music videos ("Same Love", "Thrift Shop", "And We Danced", "Otherside (Remix)"), designed visuals (album art, web design, posters) and DJed the live show.

In a recent mini-documentary, Lewis recalled meeting Macklemore for the first time. "When I met him, it was a really different time. It was less than a year after [2005's] Language of My World had come out. So he had buzz. For me being a young kid, it was very exciting to link with him. The bulk of our original relationship was photo shoots. I became kind of his photographer."[1]

Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi is a Zimbabwean musician (born September 22, 1952 in Highfield, Salisbury).

Mtukudzi began performing in 1977 when he joined the Wagon Wheels, a band that also featured Thomas Mapfumo. Their single, "Dzandimomotera", went gold and Tuku's first album followed, which was also a major success. Mtukudzi is also a contributor to Mahube, Southern Africa's "supergroup".

With his husky voice, he has become the most recognized voice to emerge from Zimbabwe and onto the international scene and he has earned a devoted following across Africa and beyond. A member of Zimbabwe's KoreKore tribe, Nzou Samanyanga as his totem, he sings in the nation's dominant Shona language along with Ndebele and English. He also incorporates elements of different musical traditions, giving his music a distinctive style, known to fans as "Tuku Music". Mtukudzi has had a number of tours around the world. He has been on several tours in the UK, US and Canada to perform for large audiences.

Unlike Mapfumo, Mtukudzi has refrained from directly criticizing the repressive government of President Robert Mugabe, perhaps because he still lives in the country. However, some of his most emotive hits prodded the aging authoritarian ruler, including "Ndakuvara," which bemoans the political violence engineered by Mugabe's ZANU-PF party and "Wasakara (You Are Getting Old)," which most Zimbabweans took as a direct plea for Mugabe to retire.

John Roger Stephens (born December 28, 1978), better known by his stage name John Legend, is an American singer-songwriter and actor. He has won nine Grammy Awards, and in 2007, he received the special Starlight award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Prior to the release of his debut album, Stephens' career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists. Stephens added his voice to those of other artists, assisting in them reaching chart-topper hits. He lent his voice to Kanye West's All of the Lights, on Slum Village's "Selfish" and Dilated Peoples' "This Way". Other artists included Jay-Z's "Encore", and he sang backing vocals on Alicia Keys' 2003 song "You Don't Know My Name" and Fort Minor's "High Road." Stephens played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything."

Stephens was born on December 28, 1978, in Springfield, Ohio. He is the son of Phyllis, a seamstress, and John Mills, a factory worker and former National Guardsman. Throughout his childhood, Stephens was homeschooled on and off by his mother. At the age of four, he began playing the piano and at the age of seven, he performed with his church choir. When he was ten, his parents divorced, causing his mother to suffer a breakdown. At the age of 12, Stephens attended North High School, from which he graduated four years later. He graduated salutatorian.

Nina Totenberg (pronounced /ˈniːnə ˈtoʊtənbɜrɡ/; born January 14, 1944) is an American legal affairs correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR) focusing primarily on the activities and politics of the Supreme Court of the United States. Her reports air regularly on NPR's newsmagazines All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and Weekend Edition. She is also a panelist on the syndicated TV political commentary show Inside Washington.

Newsweek Magazine calls her "the creme de la creme" of NPR, and Vanity Fair refers to her as "Queen of the Leaks". She is the dean of the Supreme Court press corps and has won every major broadcast journalism award for both her explanatory pieces and her scoops.

Among her scoops was her groundbreaking report of sexual harassment allegations made against Clarence Thomas by University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill, leading the Senate Judiciary Committee to re-open Thomas's Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Previously, in 1986, she broke the story that Supreme Court nominee Douglas H. Ginsburg had smoked marijuana, leading Ginsburg to withdraw his name. And in 1977, she reported on secret Supreme Court deliberations relating to the Watergate scandal.

I...sit on the stairs...got time on my hands
...have nowhere to go...feelin' good and I know...
Whatever you do don't make me come down...
Don't make me come down...
You will have trouble...
Why...do you hurt me...i'm such a nice guy
Put a knife in my heart...then turn it around
You laugh while I bleed...as I bleed to death...
If I bleed to death...you've got trouble...
(chorus)
Hit me again and I'll spit in your face...
Love me again and I'll cut you right back...
Smile at me and I'll Frown at you...
You will be in trouble....
I'm feeling alone...I pick up the phone...
when nobody's home...I need to go out
I'm runnin' the streets...no shirt on my back
no shirt on my back...lookin for trouble...
Hit me again and I'll spit in your face...
Love me again and I'll cut you right back...
Smile at me and I'll frown at you...
You will be in trouble...
I'm...coming to you...I wanna make love....
You're not in the mood...so I leave you alone...
I'll get magazines...go play with myself...
go play with myself...go play with trouble
I've got a disease...It's inside my head...
so I go to bed...to whom it concerns...
I haven't a clue...I haven't a clue...
well maybe it's you...givin' me trouble
(chorus twice)
Hit me again and I'll....etc...

Just smoked my last cigarette, Got no place to go...
Perhaps freedom is the answer, I knock but nobody's home...
Ten years ago always wondered where I'd be right now...
Well here I am all alone...still don't know and still can't see...
I see you there me here, me thinking of you but you not of me...
No use fightin' for...for what ain't there and never will be....will be...
(chorus)
So I'll fly into the night like a bird takes to the sky....
Like a dream within your mind...into the night I'll fly
I'll fly into the night like a bird takes to the sky....
Like a song that makes you cry....Honey into the night....into the night I'll Fly...
This world is so lonely just can't get a break, from my broken heart...
since you left and I've been free...It's been hard gettin' used to me...
...and everytime I pick up the phone well I just to afraid....
I wanna tell you everything...let you know I'm still here for you...
Crazy booze and crazy drugs just don't help me no more, they can't take your place...
I wanna see your face, one more time...before I fly....I fly....
(chorus)
Come on baby pick up the phone....don't leave me here all alone....
How bad could it really be...you here making love to me...
But I guess, you won't see me...so goodbye...goodbye....
(a solo)
I wanna fly into your arms.....make you love me be unharmed....
see the sunlight in your eyes baby...maybe someday you'll realize...
But I guess it never will be...so goodbye....goodbye.....
(chorus)
c 1995, 2000

Good Time
You know he's sleazy but he's ready to please you...
You he's no good...but you don't care...
how many times does he have to mistreat you?

he knows you are a fool....
he just lookin' for a sweet fine body...
but in the morning he'll be through with you....
All I wanted was to get close to ya...
Didn't mean you know harm...
Knew you were easy, but I liked your style, babe....
Honey and all you are...
But you weren't ready...For a real man....
You just wanted...To get slammed....
but it's hard...to watch you there wastin' your time...

He just lookin' for a good time baby...
This much I know is true...

He just lookin' for a good time baby....

He just lookin' for a good time baby

Lookin' for a good time baby....

Would you laugh if I told you?
Life it's really got me down...
Kind of corny but it's true... Could I talk awhile to you?
When I look into your eyes...
I see mountains we can climb...
And for all that it is worth...your smile digs me from the dirt....
This world is cold and messed-up...
We can't let that affect us...so...
Can I buy you breakfast?
Good conversation...coffee and cigarettes...
Would you let me cry out loud?
If I had something to confess...
Could you show me how to laugh?
Hold me in your warm caress....
We don't have to make love...
So much else to think of...so...
Can I buy you breakfast?
A donut and your voice beats all the rest...
This world is cold and messed-up...
We can't let that affect us...so...
Can I buy you breakfast?
Good conversation...coffee and cigarettes...
Since no one can protect us...
Nothing else I'm sure of...
Can I buy you breakfast?
I know that we are gonna be alright...
Would you laugh if I told you?
Life it's really got me down...
Kind of corny but it's true...
Could I talk awhile to you....

Boy In The Field
In the sun...and in the rain...
There sits a boy in the field...and he's feeling the pain....
...and in the light...of the moon...
I hear him calling to me and he whispers me a tune...he says....
CHORUS:
I don't wanna be here anymore... won't you please let me be....
There's nothing left for me here...won't you please set me free...
World's put me through so many changes that I can't find myself...
Try so hard to find it in me...and in everybody else....
Morning comes upon the field...and everything is still....
that boy I see him cry...his tears flow down as they will...
I try to touch him but my hand it won't reach....
I want to help him but he just...can't see me...he cried...
(chorus)
Night it falls again on the tall blades of grass....
that boy he's feelin' so bad he says...nothing ever lasts....
Morning comes once more and the boy has disappeared
Hope he went to a better place...better than here.....
I hear him singing..........
I'm flying high over the city...
I'm flying high...over my home....
Everything looks so small to me now....
I'm not afraid that I'm gonna fall....
If you see them...tell them that I'm free..
No one's gonna take it away from me....
and if they ask you...tell them that I'm fine...
maybe I'll meet them up here sometime....
Oh.......(etc....)

See
Do you believe what you see?
See and believe what's in me...
I walk around helplessly....
Wondering just what do you see...
I can't hide from your...watchful eyes....tell me...
What do you want me to be?
Do you believe what you see?
Feel the pain insideof me...
Please find out...who I am....
Maybe you don't give a damn...
If I lie...could you...see through my...
life it's so hard being me....
What you see..{believe what you see}
Believe what you see {believe what you see}
What you see {believe what you see}
Believe what you see{see}
Do you believe...what you see?
Can't you tell what's inside me?
Guess maybe one time or twice...
Find out just what's on y mind...
Can I cry?
Make it...hard to hide....
That all that I wanted was you.....
What you see...{believe what you see}
Believe what you see...{believe what you see}
What you see...{believe what you see}
Believe what you see...{see}
in me?
Believe what you see.....

Roll With Me
I laugh so loud that I look like a fool...
You make me frown but I still play it cool...
It puts me down when the hard time comes...
When it comes to love babe i'm second to none.....
I wanna make you feel so good....
a pretty lady like you really should...
get down on your knees and pray...
for a man like me to come your way
CHORUS:
So I jump start your heart...but love is blind...
I know what you know but he knows too....
You're too afraid to let me know...
Will it disappear or...will you roll with me....
roll with me....roll with me...roll with me....
Baby Baby why don't you compare....
Is he there and is he fair?
If there is something between you and me...
the right choice well it's in the air
Would you let me come inside?
know the secrets only you can hide...
After awhile, you will find...
You're in love and you can't deny....
(chorus/solo)
Well I jump start your heart... but love is blind...
I know what you know but he knows too...
You're too afraid to let me know...
Will it disappear or will it Grow....
Jump start your heart but love is blind....
love is blind...I know what you know but he knows too...
You're too afraid to let me know....
Will it disappear or will it grow, will it grow, will it grow?
Jump start you're heart but love is blind...
I know what you know but he knows too...
you're too afraid to let me know...
Will it disappear or will you roll with me....

Pissin' In The Parking Lot
It's been a shit day
So go away
Life is out of style....
It took a long time to lose my mind
Inside another's smile....
You let me breath beneath your dress...
What you don't say...you suggest
It was the start....of my emptiness...
It's been a shit night
Long drive...
I should have stayed in bed.....
She had a girls waist...
Kissed my face...
I almost banged my head....
She slammed my jeans against her hips....
Slipped me her soul through her lips....
She said...keep it with yours...if you wish.....
(chorus)
She's everything I've got....
Pissin' in the parking lot...
Right in our old spot....
Pissin' in the parking lot
....and maybe then I can leave this place behind.....
Then I woke and we smoked and she said "don't look so all alone"
"Love is way to bold"...now I'm left to hold shells from a broken
masquerade....
and pain....I know your name.....
and I don't know if I'll ever be the same.....
I know your name....
Then I dressed and I left....and I nearly drank myself to death...
on the side of the road....
I shiver from the cold New England rain....and pain....
Can one really ever piss it all away?
(solo)
(chorus)

Dirty Underwear
Can you keep a secret...can I trust you?
Or will I be hurt...shunned by you...
You seem like a friend...on who I can depend...
So many secrets to tell what I'm feeling...
I can't start the healing...if you turn away...
CHORUS:
My dirty underwear
Goes with the socks
Forget the past it's all been lost...
Time to do the wash
Bleach this world away
Lord won't you come wash it all away...
I'm gonna wash it all away...
Friends come and they go...but nobody knows....
A little concern...but it's never never shown....
You seem sincere but how can I tell if you are...
How can I love you if you turn away?
My dirty underwear
Goes with the socks
Forget the past it's all been lost...
Time to do the wash
Bleach this world away
Lord won't you come wash it all away...
I'm gonna wash it all away....
Can you feel my pain?
I will take my blame...
I dreamed we were running....running away....
With no clothes...With no clothes on our backs....
Dreamin'...yes...I feel your pain...
Yes...yes... I accept your blame...
I saw you standing there all alone...
Nobody's home....now you're not alone....
Will you listen if I want to tell you
I'm sorry for everything ...what I'm not sure of...
I'm cold and I'm callous from all of my trouble...
I know it will double...if you turn away.....
(chorus)

Everybody get down don't you turn around put your hands up and shut up this gun's a loaded one...
No one listened to me so now I'nm ready to be
someone ye'll remember for the rest of your life I tell ya...
(Chorus)
I can't take it...
I can't shake it...
I can't make this contradiction in life...
It make me crazy when i see it on the T.V...
It's in my head how can I survive....
...this contradiction in life...
I have a gun but I know you all have some why don't we just shoot each other make the evening screen...
Bias my mind and rape my gender make me so slender that I can't eat...
No child abuse kill the baby in the womb take all of the murderers and set them free...
Rob from the poor and give to the rich my life is a bitch now watch me bleed...I tell ya...
(chorus)
I wanna blow all the morning talk shows the pimps and the hoes you let them be...
see me fall down step over my body ain't nobody wants me so piss on me...
Use it abuse it I know you will accuse it after you're done just cut it off...
Give me some love make me trust someone take a hand full of shit and dump on me.....
I can't take it ...
I can't shake it
I can't make this contradiction in life...
It make me crazy when i see it on the T.V....
It's in my head how can I survive....

Oh her fool heart...its been yearnin'...
for a love to...come her way
But she don't see...that he's burnin'...
For another....in her place....
Still she wants him...oh so badly...
that she don't see...what's in her face...
Just another...fool he made her....
and he'll laugh when....her heart breaks...
Let me tell ya....
(chorus)
A parade of clowns and fools pass by me all night, all day
can't stop them from coming....
They make me sick as they laugh and sneer...
But they never, never, never....listen....
They just gonna laugh their lives away...
Knew a young boy....he was drinking.....
couldn't see lord.....he couldn't see straight...
Wouldn't listen...to what you'd tell him...
Took his car to....a watery grave....
Let me tell ya again...listen up
A parade of clowns and fools pass by me all night, all day...
can't stop them from coming....
They make me sick as they laugh and sneer...
But they never, never, never.....listen.....
They just gonna laugh their lives away....
(a solo)
(chorus)
Clowns and fools......(etc...)
