I am very excite to be in NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. I've loved the Tiny Desk series for a while now and when I found out about the contest it seemed like no brainer to enter. Check out my entry video below. Like it. Share it. All that good stuff :)

Though I am reticent to guide the listener though the intent of this particular song, I do fear that some might take the song at face value. In my opinion, such an approach will quickly lead to a general misundarstanding.
I wouldn't feel comfortable letting people draw their own conclusions as the song does touch on sensative topics and there is language that is indeed offensive. If one didn't find it offensive in the slightest, I would be exceedingly distressed.
The narrative character in this song is the patriarch of a disfunctional family who is so low he attempts to villify the other family members. Essentially he is a failure and the main cause for such a broken home but at the same time, he is so delusional that he cannot admit that the state of his family as it is; is a result of his lack of empathy for those around him.
I am sad to say that I have encountered such people as this character in real life, but feel lucky to not have to deal with over exposure of them. I sincerely hope that none of you have to deal with such circumstances.
It is my hope that the presentation of this song will throw the obvious in your face so hard that you see it is clearly a bad way of going about life, a bad way to treat those that you are supposed to love. It is a cautionary tale. Don't be like that guy, ever. -Joe DeVita
I think its safe to say that we all have a vision of a place where the grass is greener. The milk and honey flows unchecked and of course, dreams come true. To many farmers of the Dust Bowl era, California was such a land. Though it is saddening to say that most migrant farmers from Oklahoma were not welcomed by Californian's and workers that were welcomed found themselves to be horribly exploited; earning a mere pittance for their hard work. However, during dire circumstances what could make more sense than to head in the directions of a perceived utopia? I can relate to this story when I hitchhiked across the US from New York before settling temporarily in San Francisco. I had notions of a better life in The Great North West like countless others before but as it would seem, fate guided me to my true place of belonging. I still have a strong fondness for California. My wife and I married in Big Sur, a truly magical place. In my minds eye, I can still see the golden sunset sinking behind an endless ocean littered with what must have been gigantic mountains. To know a place where such natural beauty exists does fill me with longing. Perhaps we will win California over one day...
Many thanks to Wald and Brigitte Valobra of Anem De Nit for putting beautiful imagery to "O Discontent"
