Just for Now, by Imogen Heap and the entire audience at Amanda Palmer's

Imogen Heap directs the crowd at #NinjaTED to create a choir of back-up singers as a choral backdrop for her beautiful song Just For Now.
Amanda Palmer gathered some of the best and brightest from TEDTalk 2014 for an impromptu renegade show at the Vogue Theater in Vancouver, with all proceeds going to the Vancouver Food Bank. March 19th, 2014.
Amanda Palmer pulled out all the stops for her renegade #ninjaTED show, putting together one of the most splendid, unbelievable, mythical, line-ups in history! Neil Gaiman was charming, Imogen Heap was dazzling, astronaut Chris Hadfield played David Bowie and had everyone chant the count down, Geoff Berner had the entire room shouting "Fuck the police!", Jason Webley rallied us around giraffes, and the TED Fellow musicians Bora Yoon and Usman Riaz were breathtaking. I've never experienced anything like them. The music was so beautiful that it was a nearly spiritual experience. And the speakers! Power poses from Amy Cuddy, empathy through technology with Chris Kluwe! Every single last minute was drenched in magic.
Lyrics:
Just for now
Just for now
Just for now
Just for now
Just for now
Just for now
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessness's aside
If just for a little while
tears stop right here
I know we've all had a bumpy ride.
I'm secretly on your side
How did you know?
It's what I always wanted
Could never have had too many of these
Well you, quit kicking me under the table
I'm trying; will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessness's aside
If just for a little while
tears stop right here
I know we've all had a bumpy ride.
I'm secretly on your side
Bite tongue
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
I think something is burning
Now you've ruined the whole thing
Muffle the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music?
Better quick sharp remove it
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessness's aside
If just for a little while
tears stop right here
I know we've all had a bumpy ride.
I'm secretly on your side
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Just for love
Just for love.
