Eileen & the In-Betweens - "May It Continue" NPR Tiny Desk Entry 2017 (Lyrics below) "This song was inspired by a Diane Di Prima poem called "Life Chant" and it's intention is to invoke all that we wish to thrive and continue, especially during times of despair." -Eileen Lyrics: Desert cloudburst, spilling life into the land May it continue Clean, living water for all things May it continue Courage and compassion in our lives May it continue My queer community, My queer family May it continue I believe in things unseen, and the mountain wind, miner's dream I believe in things unseen, mountain wind, ancestor's dream Gardens growin', pushin', thrivin' at the edges of the empire May it continue Spontaneous kisses May they continue Fresh strawberries in the summertime May it continue People of color livin' their lives free as can be May it continue I believe in things unseen, mountain wind, grandmother's dream I believe in things unseen, I believe in you and me ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eileen & the In-Betweens is: Eileen Shaughnessy: guitar, vocals Lazarus Letcher: viola, vocals Ben Martinez: keyboard, trumpet Christy Cook: vocals Stef Graner: vocals Tanya Nuñez: upright bass Kenny Broyles: drums Filmed at the desk-filled KUNM 89.9 Studio A in Albuquerque, New Mexico, December 2016.
