Aimee Mann's Tiny Desk Concert
"This song is called 'You Never Loved Me' — it's another cheery, optimistic number," says Aimee Mann, introducing the second of four songs in this Tiny Desk Concert. She has been writing songs on the human condition — more often than not with a strong sense of humor to underpin the inevitable melancholy — as far back as the '80s, when she was the singer and bassist in Boston's The Young Snakes.

Nicky Beer - Juveniles
At dawn, the birds storm
the back yard like a country
they are astonished to have
won without a single shot
fired. There is no end
to its richness, every seed
tasting like a year.
They have no superstitions.
They celebrate in
monosyllables.
They cannot feel the god
who lives in the wires
strung over our houses
no matter how tightly
they grasp him with their feet.
The sky is one long drink.
They will never know the quiet
hands with which we hold them
when we find them
under the hedge at dusk.
