Money — Lisa Cover Transcript

Welcome to earlobe calming
a collection of desperate, vulnerable, and collaborative acts.

This is a dance and music cover of the song Money by Lisa from the band Blackpink proposed by my good judy Cosimo Pori. To start the process Cosi and I talked about what they thought I could bring to the song and how to tweak the music and lyrics to better fit my voice. They didn’t originally intend for me to cover the dance as well, but by the time we clarified that I had already taught myself quite a good chunk of the choreography so we went forward with it. For the finished piece, Cosi paid $30. Please enjoy, Money.

[Spoken] I don’t like this second verse so instead I want to ask why the preoccupation with gravity?
With dollars dropping, with rain – falling
Who catches you when you let go?]
