Alex Fam - "Dance Feelings" (NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2025)
It's time for my annual entry! I wrote this song earlier this week and decided it would be fun to do a little vocal looping with it. I use a two-track Boss RC-30 loop pedal. Hope you enjoy! Apologies for the squeaky floor percussion. Lofi cat included : )
This is a song about dance and movement as medicine for the body and mental health. I wish you all lots of embodied dance and movement in your lives.
Lyrics:
I need to dance to feel my feelings
'cause I've been reeling, it's got too real and
I'm a shadow dancing, tree-hugging fairy type
It's just what feels right
What feels right
Ooh I've been noticing that I need something
called Staring into Space
then I start to feel and it gets real
so I need to DANCE
So I dance to move my feelings
nobody watching, just do your own thing
Tried meditation, I just can't sit
is this a quick fix? Or just the right fit?

October is beautiful in New England with the changing leaves, so I went to the woods and decided to be brave and share footage of my very unplanned dancing : ) I hope you are enjoy the nature around...

Love and blessings to you ❤
Love it! The lyrics really fit this era of needing to dance out our gut feelings. So much wisdom has been lost and if we cannot garner strength from previous generations, we are out on a limb. I would love to see groups of people dancing to this. I’m sure there will be!
I played it at a show last night with a full band and we got a dance party going! It was really fun.
What a show! So funny and creative! And I love the multi-generational aspect of this.
Thank you!! We had a lot of fun creating it
an instant classic! "i know that it will stop and that makes me like it more" is such a great line! also, I can hear how much you've been liking Bossa Nova!
Thank you so much! I like that line too :)
Beautiful! I was so surprised when pulling up the blinds this morning to see the snow. It’s so magical!
My favorite thing about snow is the songs it inspires. Thank ye!
Yes!
This is still a great song!
Thank you!
Good sound!
First time I've seen the stop motion video you made for this song :) so pretty! 🍂🍃🌻
Thanks!!
Is that a UU quilt 🕵🏾♀️
It's just a patterned quilt that a friend made me, but it kind of looks like windows which I love
Stunning where can we find the ukelele score

Love love this
Also hold on is that some ukulele jazz, you’ve gained my sub

That harmony is George collier worthy, goddamn you guys r great
Perfect song for Book Day!!!

Hey Alex, great tune. We were singing along by the end. Love the bridge and the stealthy key change!
Beautiful!!
Thank you!!
💟Oh, my gosh, Alex! This animation is totally delightful! I LOVE this! The little moving crab is so wonderful.💟
Thanks so much!
Ahhhhhhh It’s so adorable, every time this little crab blinks I am ded from cute. This is the hardest core cozycore. Face hurts from smiling.
This is the best review, thank you!
It's such a great song and such an adorable animation!
Thanks, Gareth!
Beautiful!!!!
🍀 Promo`SM
Yeah I love it! The video adds so much to the song itself, with the slowness of what you're doing. Lovely
This is marvelous, Alex. Everything about it. Your idea, the collages, the paper replica of you that you create, your song, the lyrics, the sound/music, creativity & uniqueness. So glad you shared & posted this!
Thanks so much, Lisa. That means a lot :)
what is Lana sitting in?
it's a banana! (a sort of cat bed)
Nice one...TQ for thinking of me ...hahaha
this song is so beautiful
Nice work and looks like a blast!
Thanks, Steve! Yes it was definitely a blast!
So very beautiful.❤
Thanks, Denise!
Alex, this is gorgeous 😍 may i ask what chords youre using please? Xx
Thanks, Salvia! The chords are Cm, Eb, Bb, Ab (I chose a tricky key because I liked the range for my voice - but you could easily play it in Am and do Am, C, G, F). Enjoy!
Great song. Good luck in the contest!
thanks so much!
ahh! it turned out so great! I love this so much <3 thanks for inviting me to be involved!!
Great people, great creativity, great art!
Nice video work, congratz :)
Thanks!
Beautiful!
I love the shadow film! This is so creative. The shadows make the symbolic actions all the more poignant. Especially the waves, the violin breaking, the putting back down the phones... Very touching
Thanks! Lucas has been doing fantastic shadow puppets for our halloween show the past 4 years, so it was really nice to try filming using shadows.
Loved it ❤
Great song. Feels all too true for so many of us who made big changes during COVID. Love that entering Tiny Desk and browsing the entries reminds me that people are out there crushin' it.
Well, that was brilliant. I came for the insane headgear, but stayed for the sweet harmonies, insightful lyrics and catchy tunefulness.
Thanks! I am a fan of wild headgear. Glad you liked the song too!
I love it! It reminds me of when I used to wander the woods more
Beautiful! I love everything about this, especially when you hang the colorful balls in a decorative manner. 😊
Thanks! Hanging the colorful balls was one of my favorite parts too :)
A delightful & wonderful song. Love the lyrics! So glad you posted this song, Alex!
Oh, it's very beautiful! I also want to play this song on the ukulele. Can you tell what chords and strum you are using?
"Alex went on to be like a tree." 🤣
Dacw delyn, dacw tennau (please forgive my poor Welsh spelling) - "There is the harp, there are her strings, but what use am I, being unable to play her?" Delyn - harp - is always a she in Welsh. Basically the singer laments being tongue tied and silent when his secret crush approaches him. Dacw Nghariad means "There is my Love". But what a beautiful, poetic description of being tongue tied. There is the harp and there are her strings, but I stumble and halter in my loves presence. Such poetry.
I love this song so much. You do it beautifully.
Thank you!
Thx for the wonderful music. Beautiful
Alex, I love your creativity, unique ideas & inspiring music!
Thank you!
This is awesome! You created this in three hours?
Yes! 3 hours total including planning, set-up, writing and choreographing!
