Tamar Berk - Tiny Desk Contest 2026 - Stay Close By

Описание: #tinydeskcontest #tamarberk #staycloseby #tinydesk #npr #nprtinydesk #nprmusic #tinydeskcontestentry

This is my 2026 Tiny Desk Contest submission for NPR. I recorded this song in my home studio, and it’s the opening track on my newest album OCD, that was out September 5. I’ve spent the last five years making and releasing music on my own, and the opportunity for this song to reach new listeners through Tiny Desk feels really meaningful. Thanks so much for listening.

stay close by official lyrics

I don’t know why I can’t reply on time or can’t make up my mind
I’m always one step behind.
I need a momentary break,
maybe go back to June Lake, but it’s cold now anyway.

But I’ll be alright if you stay close by
We always say we should get high and go for a ride.
Let’s go for a ride.

I think I might be running out of things to say and things to shout
So maybe now I’ll just hang out.
I’ll keep the commentary tame, I wonder what my dad would say,
but there’s no point anyway.

And I’ll be alright if you stay close by.
We always say we should get high and go for a ride.
Let’s go for a ride.
Let’s get high.
