Wonder Eye (Little Moon's Tiny Desk 2023)

[@silv-eee]

This is so beautiful. Such a voice. My dad would have loved it.

[@EmilyGitlin-po6gx]

Heard you on npr this morning. Went straight here. Not disappointed

[@Giganisgreat666]

My mom is currently in hospice. Heard this on NPR the other day and absolutely lost it. What a beautiful song. I had to pull over and cry.

[@_i_am_unceded]

I feel it

[@williamharrisiv2486]

Same here Gigan, I like to think this song found us! Wishing you peace through the journey

[@DamianL]

[@ReelGrrl1]

Yep, this song captures all of the vulnerability, sorrow, and sacredness I felt when my mom was in hospice too

[@AluraCirce]

I was half asleep listening to NPR this morning, when this was played. I was instantaneously awake as soon as I heard her voice. For the past few years, I have been appreciating higher pitched voices that had attracted me in my teens, so the joy of hearing something new to discover has made my morning especially positive! Then I saw the video - a real HARP?! Brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing your art with us!

[@BrandonCummings-ks3bq]

I can't believe how good this is. I've watched 100 times. She's a generational talent.

[@_i_am_unceded]

This is TRUTH The beautiful voice The beautiful music The beautiful faces The powerful words The wonderful song heart wonce crushed twice born forgiven released my blood up in flight won to wonder why won to wonder i wonderful i and just like that i am changed in flight

[@fretbuzz59]

Pretentious, histrionic, droning *crap.*

[@morespinach9832]

Too early. This song is lovely (although a bit noisy/cacophanous in the second half)... but other music less so.

[@aaronenglishmusic]

This is amaaaaazing! And KZbin's algorithm is pushing it out to happily unsuspecting ears like mine. So great to meet your wonderful music this way.

[@littlemoonmusic.]

so great to meet you. Thank you for sharing

[@jackieprds]

I just learned of Little Moon on my way to work this morning while listening to NPR. After hearing all of the great things that the Tiny Desk contest judges had to say about “Wonder Eye”, I just had to listen to the song for myself. I listened to it over and over until I got to work and was just transcended to another world. Thank you for such a beautiful piece of art Little Moon, you touched my heart. 💜🙏🏼

[@LisaAngelotti-cc2ny]

Me too! Tiny Desk!

[@britneyh5966]

I did the same 😁 The chorus has been stuck in my head ever since!

[@Fineto1]

Took the words out my mouth

[@h44Nor]

I listened to it on repeat for hours at work after I heard that segment on NPR. You said it better than I could. This song is incredible. The judges were moved to tears, I believe it.

[@micahdeanmusic]

Where did you hear the judges comments about them?

[@abimaelhernandez3591]

This moved me. I lost my mom in 2021 and I feel so lost some days, more than others. I cried. Thank you.

[@MorganJoyceHart]

The way she sings “minute” and “in it…” so much power and strength from the first few notes, it’s insane.

[@ronaldbell3788]

It's rare for artists to come up with something that's unique and stands apart these days, but this group has achieved the memorable.🙏🙏🙏

[@ancientferret]

More rare even to stay genuine and be able to channel it

[@bebophippie1781]

@@ancientferret I agree. I love this song. I am a fan of Tool and although it probably seems like a stretch this band has the same vibes. They know what sounds good and they do it.

[@genericusernamehere01]

My husband showed this song to me. I left the Mormon church 2 years ago (my husband is still active) and when I googled you, I read about how you came up with this song when grappling with death of all kinds. Leaving religion has made death (including mourning the death of a past life and belief) much more real and terrifying and fascinating to me and I feel this song encapsulates my feelings perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful message, these amazing talents, this celestial song. It has put me in tears every time I listen to it. Thank you deeply.

[@h44Nor]

This had a similar effect on me, bringing up old hurts I thought I had settled and buried. I was certain I would see my loved ones again someday. Letting go of that fantasy was agony.

[@davehuish3644]

Letting go of the after life made me cherish the memories I have of those that have passed even more and makes life increasingly miraculous. I’m sorry that has not been your experience. I hope you can find peace and happiness that comforts you such as the moments that this song so eloquently shares

[@suedyle2829]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sobs every time I listen to it. It speaks to my soul

[@scottmedwid1818]

Congratulations on winning NPR Tiny Desk concert series contest 2023. I was just listening to the news this morning and they did a story on the contest and played Wonder Eye. Stunningly, beautiful music I had tears running down my face I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved hearing a tune for the first time!

[@jojofandango7344]

I've watched this a lot and just now wondered how the singer can give such a compelling performance in that position. Crazy.

[@julies1965]

As I lie here motionless, my eyes well up with tears of deep emotion. I predict a major motion picture soundtrack in your future. Hold out for the right one! What a gift to the world!

[@leahcalex]

Agree! Can’t stop crying at this beautiful emotional song. So many good things to come for this band.

[@odelberg.]

[@ninefingers1499]

This song sounds somehow so intimate and yet so massive at the same time. Love it. You're killing it. 💛

[@futuristicorange3895]

This song makes me think of my dad who passed away recently. Brings me to tears, thank you for this song!

[@CG-ie3wk]

I am obsessed with this song! I feel like a teenager- in love with music all over again- I’ve been playing this on repeat!!! Can’t get enough.

[@stephanielee5139]

Wow! I love this on so many levels. Having lost my religion- uncertainty resonates more than pretending to know. ❤

[@baila_fuerte]

My body … my being… I was touched. This song surrounded me. I… am lost for words. I did not believe I’d stumble upon this today. I’m so glad I did. NPR brought me here, and I am so deeply thankful ❤ Thank you for this beautiful song. Although song doesn’t grasp what this sound is.. I feel like it was more akin to a modern day aria; a masterpiece. Thank you Little Moon ❤

[@jrh98033]

Love the big sounds, and, of course, Little Moon's vast vocal range.

[@talineverett619]

Holy shit Emma !!!!! This arrangement ! This band ! Your voice is gods voice ! Your voice is truth ! Your voice is everything good about this universe ! Absolutely splendid.

[@bethanygull3312]

I saw Little Moon perform at an outdoor bike concert in SLC during the pandemic and knew they were destined for great things!

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

Gotta love a rock band with a harpist! 🥰

[@PjPjPaul]

I'm having a very hard time describing how this song makes me feel. Its like reaching out and touching velvet only to find out its a velvet sledgehammer after you've been hit with it.

[@franciafoy]

Congratulations on winning the Tiny desk. Man, you deserve it.

[@CarolineJustice]

This is a whole vibe. The sound, the styling, the room, everyone needs to hear this band!

[@BrandonWerth-gk8bv]

Here because of Tiny Desk. This is so beautiful and so haunting I’m so happy my radio led me here this morning.

[@Langlykek]

this Tiny Desk version is just SOOOO GOOD. I love the normal recording but this version hits something else. Love love love, well done!

[@_i_am_unceded]

Absolutely

[@blywallentine]

I'm so grateful that the KZbin algorithm brought me here. Tiny Moon is my new favorite band! I'll be voting for you.

[@betsyhcroft]

Tiny Moons band fan :))))

[@rosemarysmith5991]

Way to go! Congratulations on winning NPR's Tiny Desk, Little Moon! I heard this on the radio this morning and you guys are fantastic! All the best, look forward to seeing your performance at the NPR Tiny Desk in D.C. :)

Congratulations on the win. Excellent song! Well deserved.

[@jessieknoles7258]

this song is haunting and perfect. almost moved to tears. her voice is amazing of course but so is everything else. and the lyrics! so moving!

[@cathyhan3204]

I just discovered this song & wonderful group! I’m going to try to get tickets for Philadelphia me & my 29 yr old daughter! I cry every time I hear this beautiful, mystical song! Congratulations 🎈🎉 on winning Tiny Desk!

[@martinholden2281]

Brilliant! Thank you, Tiny Desk & congratulations Little Moon.

[@frederc3]

Heard this song on NPR when they announced that Little Moon had won the 2023 Tiny Desk Contest! Hearing the clip as well as Baby Rose and Bobby Carter's praise, I immediately searched for the full song. Excited to watch and listen to their future full set at THE Tiny Desk!

[@thewurm9177]

Just heard this on WMSE in Milwaukee and was blown away. I had to look up the band right away. Love this song, and I'm an old metal head...go figure! Great music just transcends

[@thesavuband]

Absolutely magical, can't stop listening! Dearly hoping you guys win, you more than deserve it :))

[@beingjoshmc]

This transcends dream pop. I hesitate to use terms like “next level sh!t” but this is indeed next level sh!t.

[@marcd1981]

I was reading one of my email newsletters this morning, and in the "Sports, Media & Entertainment" section there is an NPR link for this video. Funny how many ways you can find new music and/or entertainment. This is my first exposure to Little Moon, I'll definitely be listening to more, thank you for this video.

[@Dreamy_420]

First time listening to this song and I got full body chills and cried a little. Wow. This is fucking incredible

[@fugithegreat]

Just... Wow! After just one listen, this has turned into one of my all time favorite songs ever! I can't wait to see more of what Little Moon has to offer the world.

[@_i_am_unceded]

This is a wonderful time

[@vyang411]

Heard their interview with NPR's Ari Shapiro on the radio towards the end, which led me searching. Great music!! Thank you for making beautiful music!

[@hollow9467]

was recommended by my singing professor who is actually little moons father! he has amazing skill and its great to see his daughter is just as skilled! congrats on the win, you deserve it!

[@RelateGREAT]

Beautiful throughout. Every second. And that smile at the end. She knew she and they just nailed it. Joy. Perfect. Just perfect.

CONGRATS ON WINNING!!! You totally deserve it! I literally teared up when I saw you won cause I've been rooting for you and listening to your album every day. I wish I could see you live in LA in the tour but tickets are already sold out.

I can't stop listening since the first time I heard it on NPR. Still pretty much a daily listen.

[@jakeg3455]

Interesting song and arrangement. I feel like these guys randomly bumped into each other at a thrift store and decided to start a band because they liked each other's outfits.

Thank you both and to this version of Wonder Eye who relaxed me enought to get my head out of our insane world's crazyness!

🥹 this hits so hard. Almost got me tearing up. That is until I went back for a second listen and checked the lyrics more carefully 🥲 Glad that paying attention to this year's Tiny Desk competition brought me to this. Wasn't really able to participate (not that it would've mattered) but discovering this is a massive win in my book ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@lucaswisniewski9353]

Been watching this on repeat all day. Beyond profound

[@DieShiny]

Indescribable beauty. Painful and fragile, ethereal and transcendent. I am a songwriter and am thus quite picky about songwriting - This is the best song I’ve heard in ages. Thanks for representing Utah with this authentic treasure of a song. And although this is relatable and emotional for anyone who hears it, thank you from yet another ex-mormon who feels this deeply. 💙

[@joshuanetherton220]

Absolutely beautiful. Fabulous vibes, the color scheme on point, an epic, cosmic song...a great choice for the 2023 Tiny Desk Contest winner!

[@shedness]

NPR brought me here. Amazing levels and layers.

[@furoraruai]

I've always been afraid of being alone, especially when I started losing friends. I began to notice a perpetual silence in my memory. For the first time, I stopped running and started facing the things I had left unresolved. I sought justice against those who wronged me and started going to therapy. I was so tired of running and not finding meaning in anything. This song reflects a journey full of doubts and the undeniable question I'll ask when all of this is over. Just rest?… No, because the journey never truly ends and will be eternally cyclical. I condemn myself to feel everything until my life stops going in circles of learning.

[@anthrond]

Phenomenal. The sound is incredible. So satisfying. Emma, your vocals are so so so so so great. Thank you.

[@anthrond]

I just have to comment again, it's so damn good. I'm paying attention to the lyrics, and they're so artfully done. Can't get enough.

I heard your interview on NPR today and the first thing I did when I got home was hunt up a link to your song, because the snippets they played on the show caught my interest. But this song is so, so much more than the sum of those parts! To my own surprise I was in tears by the end - not because of the the lyrics (which are beautiful), but simply due to the SHEER POWER of the song & the singer. I'm so glad you guys won! You deserve it!!!! Now excuse me while I go find some more of your music to listen to... 😍
