Margeaux Lynn - Standing Room Only (NPR Tiny Desk 2026 Submission)

Описание: My submission for ⁨@NPR⁩ ⁨@nprmusic⁩ Tiny Desk 2026 :) This is my song Standing Room Only, released independently on January 18. It's about asking Leonard Cohen for advice about getting older.

Streaming on Spotify and everywhere else streams are strempt

Lyrics:
Leonard, can I ask you a question?
One that I’ve been too scared to mention
When did I get old enough
to have friends with baby stuff
in the back seat of their leased sedan?

Leonard, they say I am pushing 30
And if I don’t find someone soon, I’ll join the clergy
But I swear that I’m still 17
My first love ruined everything
And I’m not scared of dying alone yet

Now all around me, boyfriends become husbands
Someone else just joined the club, and
I wake up to find another
Girl I knew in high school’s brother’s
Posed engagement photos on the beach

It’s like everyone has gone backstage without me
While I’m still down front, standing room only

I’ll be in the neighborhood
I’m not hard to find
Ask me anything at Thanksgiving dinner
Mom says I’ve got time

Leonard, I guess I am asking you
Did you and Marianne feel this way, too?
Why do I still give a shit
No one else is risking it
We’ve all got hills to die on, didn’t you?

Now all around me, boyfriends become husbands
Someone else just joined the club, and
I wake up to find another
Girl I knew in high school’s brother’s
Posed engagement photos on the beach

It’s like everyone has gone backstage without me
While I’m still down front, standing room only
