Hey, don’t write yourself off yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don’t you worry what they tell themselves when you’re away

It just takes some time
Little girl you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Hey, you know they’re all the same
You know you’re doing better on your own, so don’t buy in
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself
It doesn’t matter if it’s good enough for someone else

It just takes some time
Little girl you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time
Little girl you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Hey, don’t write yourself off yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best, do everything you can
And don’t you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say

It just takes some time
Little girl you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time
Little girl you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Landscape (Demo); Ceremonials; Florence + The Machine

She wants the silence but fears the solitude
She wants to be alone and together with you
So she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see
She saw that the lighthouse had been washed out to sea

Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive
Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away
Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make
Climb limits past the limits
Jump in front of trains all day

And stay alive
Just stay alive

What does it sound like when a crew of Native American DJs from Ottawa decide to mix traditional Cree & Ojibwe songs with club beats?

Brain-meltingly badass, apparently.

Heard this via Said the Gramophone, but it’s also been getting some radio play down here in Austin.

Hear more of A Tribe Called Red at http://www.electricpowwow.com/.

My brain really did just melt…I NEED TO GET THIS AS AN MP3!


Check out the site, donate, and download — there’s a whole album, and it’s amazing.

this is wonderful,

This is fucking AWESOME

moonburp:

You were left with nothing as a child, now that’s a lot to carry
You’ve been empty handed all your life, a heavy weight to carry
Things could be different but it wouldn’t be the same
You wouldn’t be the man I love without this weight

Cause all these years feeling small and misplaced
The only lonely man on Noah’s Ark
Yeah, all these years dealing with radioactive waste
Has made you glow in the dark
Don’t you know you glow in the dark?
Don’t you know you glow?

You’ve been digging graves since we first met, you’ve got a lot to bury
From the empty closets in your head, a heavy weight to carry
Things could be better but it wouldn’t feel this good
I wouldn’t change a thing about you if I could

Cause all the years feeling small and misplaced
The only lonely man on Noah’s Ark
Yeah all these years dealing with radioactive waste
Has made you glow in the dark
Don’t you know you glow in the dark?
Don’t you know you glow?
You glow
You glow, glow
You glow, glow

Daniel Versus The World - Closet (Song For Harvey Milk)

“From my currently untitled Angry Gay Songs E.P. that I’m working on. It’s called ‘Closet (Song For Harvey Milk)’ and it’s an angry letter to closeted celebrities who have a duty to be role models to the young LGBT people who need them. It’s also an ode to one of my favourite Angry Gays, Harvey Milk, and inspired by another, journalist Patrick Strudwick.”

“Bones” by B.Steady- This is the most amazing song. It’s about someone whose lover jumps overboard during the Middle Passage. There is a description in the beginning of the video, but if you just want to hear the song skip over it. 

This is haunting + kray cause I know her!

Andrew Jackson Jihad- Distance

“And it’s harder to be yourself than it is to be anybody else.

I wish that I were someone closer to you.

And I know this won’t last forever,

But god damnit it feels like forever since we’ve been together.

Until we’ll be together again.”

How awesome is this Lady Gaga Cover!?

Just turn that volume up
And watch queer porn, baby

Society told me when I was young
About various normative sexual scripts
I rolled my hair and put…
