And a song well sung is a sung well song, so sing If nothing else, you must remember that you're still breathing
And if I make a big mistake, if anything Well, then it won't take forever just to find myself again
All we are is everything and everyone we've ever been so Tell me not to fall in love with you And frankly, my friend, I think that's the sweetest thing you do
Summer in my town is nice, my front porch is my paradise And I can sit here every night, yes, I can watch the world go by And know that I'm in motion too, occasionally think of you And I just hope that you realize that when you sit here by my side Whatever that implies will be just fine My heart beats like a tambourine that plays along in time

nana grizol is a band more people need to listen to, I love getting a sociology lesson via trumpets and a yearning queer man

nana grizol lyrics are truly just brilliant...and this song about media & power imbalances in discourse really sounds familiar as a trans person:
You say that it's a choice to make a message with my voice
But I'm on eggshells when I walk around the living room
Cause at the end of the day my nightly news is inundated with your views
I start to think there isn't nothing I can do
Cause you move mountains with your anger
You swell oceans when you're sad
And you start wars with your rejoicing
And you treated me so bad
There is a conflict here of interest
The interest isn't mine
I start to think about leaving you behind
Some definitions of our difference, once invented long maintained
Now someone's dying on a dance floor, you can say that we're the same but it's a lie
War machines and power dreams and racist, homophobic schemes can't orient themselves to give the people what they need

now that I have to mentally prepare myself for academic conferences I keep thinking about how this prof once told me I have nothing to worry about because he knows from our talks that I can hold conversations without them becoming awkward and like who tf was he talking to????
#this man doesnt know what awkward is bc hes pretty weird himself i have no other explanation#well there is the other explanation of uim just lying to make me feel good but lets not go down this road#phd life#academia#academic conferences

I know you think that you are half as good as the people who do just the things that the should.
We follow our own paths gotta do some trailblazing a minute of movement for a year of stargazing
but you find that you've come out with a billion horns blazing,
it's amazing just to know you're alive.
