Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard performs a new song and pays tribute to Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger in this quarantine concert.
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.And with that, the heavy-hearted Death Cab for Cutie frontman performs his newly written song from America's first coronavirus hotspot, Seattle.
And as if there weren't enough sadness, Ben performs an homage to songwriter and musician Adam Schlesinger of the band Fountains of Wayne, who passed away on April 1 from complications due to COVID-19. Ben was a long admirer of Adam's music and sings us one of his favorite Fountains of Wayne songs, as well as a song Ben wrote for The Monkees'All in all, I found this to be profoundly moving, and a fitting trio of songs that mark a unique and troubling time in our history.
