Скачать или смотреть Eva Luna Smith - The Cave (NPR Tiny Desk Submission 2026)

I wrote the Cave in January of 2025 after going through a very intense experience where I felt that the only voice and feeling I could clearly hear was that of my inner child and deep feminine. Womanhood is such a sacred thing and while it is so widely shared, it can feel extremely isolated. I wanted to write a song that spoke to that isolation. This song was difficult to record because I couldn’t help but choke up every take. Shoutout to Abigail Joran who made me sing through my snot and tears (haha). I am so grateful that I have the support system that I have and that I can share the stories I can share and connect with other women through them. The Cave is dedicated to all of the women in my life and around the world who have had their basic rights taken away or infringed upon. Huge thank you to Christopher Xue (violin) and Sebastian Lee (cello) for recording this video with me and laying down their magic. Sending love always.
