First saw her on Idol and wondered what happened there. Glad to see she is still around. Her music choices are different and she pulls them off so well...!!
Killer vocals. Well done all around! Harmonies were especially on point, and I don't get enough flute in my life. So that was perfect. Nice to see so many folks in the Tiny Desk community killing it!
Getting home 11:30 I believe all of the stories Telling myself that I'm alone Isolation antidote Lock the door and my heart is racing I don't know what I'm escaping Don't disturb, don't try to call Gotta pretend I'm above it all Knowing what I know Coping how I cope And I'm sorry to my people For staying at home I feel safe when I'm small I got all my pretty walls The higher climb, the harder I fall It's so cozy and wrong Here in all my pretty walls So why ever leave at all? Pour myself what I deserve Light a candle and let it burn I avoid it, I know How I love to let it go Living in duality Trying to love all of me I just gotta take my time I just gotta hide~ Doing what I know Coping how I cope And I'm sorry to my people For staying at home I feel safe when I'm small I got all my pretty walls The higher I climb The harder I fall~ It's so cozy and wrong Here in all my pretty walls So why ever leave at all? So why ever leave at all? So why ever leave, why ever leave at all? Feeling so cozy Only I know me Maybe not hurting is worth being lonely I'm Feeling so cozy Only I know me Maybe not hurting is worth being lonely Cause I'm safe when I'm small I got all my pretty walls The higher I climb The harder I fall It's so cozy and wrong Here in all my pretty walls So why ever leave at all? I feel safe when I'm small I got all my pretty walls The higher i climb, the higher i climb the harder i fall~ It's so cozy and wrong Here in all my pretty walls So why ever leave at all?
FOLLOWUP: Awesomeness!! You haven't lost a thing since back in the day. You're better than ever. Great song, and great musical accompaniment. Hats off to all of you. Good luck at the NPR, Anilee. I hope to watch you there someday. You've still got what it takes.
you are a rare gift - so glad you found your voice! been looking forward to this since your AI audition (and honestly been listening to your official "Blue" cover to many times… hahaha). thank you for sharing and looking forward to all that's next. great work by all involved. (p.s. nice touch sitting on a "tiny desk" hahaha)
Anilee WOW!!! Love your new song. I am feeling the exact same way. I love my pretty walls too. Band was awesome too ❤ Vegan Musician is my hubby 😂 we loved watching you on American Idol and following your journey on IG ever since. I miss your other yt channel too 😊
Hi Anilee!! I'll watch this video, but before I do, I wanted to take the opportunity to say hi from one of your former big American Idol fans. My wife and I voted like crazy for you all the way, and hoped you would've been the winner of it all. We've watched you lots since, along with your gf, and have always admired your ability to master the art of the run. ☺🎤🎹 I'm a lifelong pro pianist, writer, as is my wife a singer/songwriter.

I dunno why, but I heard Floetry at first...so good. Anilee's talent is immense.
One of THE BEST Tiny Desks EVER!

Ive been listening to as much content as i can find ever since i heard your "blue" cover on a.i.. wow! You are such a generational talent!! Sigue así
Killer vocals. Well done all around! Harmonies were especially on point, and I don't get enough flute in my life. So that was perfect. Nice to see so many folks in the Tiny Desk community killing it!
Also, so very nice to hear human voices recorded without using any of that oh-so-nasty autotune!
Totally love this comment as I thought the same thing. The harmonies were to listen for. This song me want to groove...

Getting home 11:30
I believe all of the stories
Telling myself that I'm alone
Isolation antidote
Lock the door and my heart is racing
I don't know what I'm escaping
Don't disturb, don't try to call
Gotta pretend I'm above it all
Knowing what I know
Coping how I cope
And I'm sorry to my people
For staying at home
I feel safe when I'm small
I got all my pretty walls
The higher climb, the harder I fall
It's so cozy and wrong
Here in all my pretty walls
So why ever leave at all?
Pour myself what I deserve
Light a candle and let it burn
I avoid it, I know
How I love to let it go
Living in duality
Trying to love all of me
I just gotta take my time
I just gotta hide~
Doing what I know
Coping how I cope
And I'm sorry to my people
For staying at home
I feel safe when I'm small
I got all my pretty walls
The higher I climb
The harder I fall~
It's so cozy and wrong
Here in all my pretty walls
So why ever leave at all?
So why ever leave at all?
So why ever leave, why ever leave at all?
Feeling so cozy
Only I know me
Maybe not hurting is worth being lonely
I'm Feeling so cozy
Only I know me
Maybe not hurting is worth being lonely
Cause I'm safe when I'm small
I got all my pretty walls
The higher I climb
The harder I fall
It's so cozy and wrong
Here in all my pretty walls
So why ever leave at all?
I feel safe when I'm small
I got all my pretty walls
The higher i climb, the higher i climb the harder i fall~
It's so cozy and wrong
Here in all my pretty walls
So why ever leave at all?
