Indigo De Souza: Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

Hazel Cills | September 13, 2023
It's not exactly typical for artists at the Tiny Desk to share their future burial plans, but that's exactly what Indigo de Souza does halfway through her performance. "I wrote this song about my love for nature," the singer-songwriter says, introducing the track "Not My Body." "I think that when I die ... what I want is to be composted and to become soil, and for that soil to be used to plant a tree, and I want that tree to be so big and strong."
"I don't know what kind of tree yet - still thinking on it," she says, with a few giggles from the audience. "A tree that people can visit and be like, 'This is Indigo!' Until they die and they can't visit me anymore."
It's beautiful, unvarnished sentiments like that - a desire to be reborn as a big and strong redwood tree - that mark de Souza's lyricism. The 26-year-old songwriter's music always emits a certain nakedness, as she chronicles the unknowing that often comes from being in your 20s. In a set built from 2023's All of This Will End, here these songs come paired with horns as her soaring vocals move seamlessly through beats of youthful despair and hope.

    My fiancee recently died and I've realized that society doesn't talk about death. So, when someone is suddenly face-to-face with with a tragic loss, nobody wants to talk about it because nobody knows how to talk about it. So Indigo's casual discussions on death as a very real part of life is very refreshing. Indigo is an incredible musician and a rad human, just like my boo.

    Hope you're doing well. Yes death is a natural part of life, I speak to my students about it as naturally as I can. My father died last year and in 1st grade we had a very beautiful discussion about how to honour the life of our deceased ones ❤ they really, really needed to talk about their losses and it showed. We all need to talk about it. Thanks for your comment and for sharing your story ❤❤❤❤

    I'm so sorry for your loss. We don't talk about it or embrace it enough as a society. I don't know what you are going thru, I have lost my dad and my oldest sister. But everyone is so unique and feel things so differently. To know someone truly is to let someone in and share a personal world with them and build it. That lost felt as real physical damage. I hope that you are doing well and have love in your life. I send my weak positive internet wishes your way.

    Indigo's genuinely my favorite artist for the past couple of years. I've laughed, danced, sang, screamed, and sobbed to her songs. I've never felt so seen before like I do in her music. I was supposed to see her recently but she had to cancel her show, this made me even more excited for when it finally does happen

    i love Indigo so much, her music, life philosophy and overall shared human experience touched me like no one's else. she nurtures all the good and important parts of life as a human being, relationships, death, nature, nothing is ordinary to her, and that's shocking in a ignorant work-driven world. her work kept me sane and happy for a good time, and i recommend her for anyone that feels like, experiencing and thinking of it all. in conclusion, shes a great human.

I just wanna say that you're music has so much power on my feelings, on how sometimes I feel something and I don't get to know why, but your songs help me understand these feelings and accept them as part of the human experience, because you feel them too, and you make beautiful art about them, thanks for sharing that with the world. You just made my cry and smile tonight while listening to this whole beautiful set. Lots of love from Mexico :)
