Jack Taylor - The Artist || NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2021

Thank you for watching my NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2021 submission! "The Artist" is probably my favorite song that I've written. While the lyrics center around images of beautiful art and my love and appreciation for "the artist," there is an undertone of sorrow as I struggle to see my own beauty without the help of another. I hope you enjoyed the video!
