about

For those who's families have rejected them for their decision to be themselves. For those who want to live their lives to the fullest but who's families shunned them. For the LGBTQ+ community who have made a community to those very same people who have faced that rejection. We hope you in the LGBTQ+ community, young and old, can find a home in us.

lyrics

Verse 1
Wedding parties and Christmas feasts
Travel stresses from west to east.
Always a constant performance
for all the family.

Love and dread, it’s bittersweet
Family clashes always defeat
You only wanted to be yourself
now you’re left on the street.

Chorus 1
We can never replace your family
we will never share your memories
But what we hope you find
is a home in us.

And we hope you find
a home in us.

Verse 2
Always asked to mask your soul
Trapping you into a narrow role
Judgement rounds from your relatives
just never cease.

Always thinking they know what’s best
Always judging how you are dressed
Always scorning your love of life
Yes we can all attest.

Chorus 2
We can never fend off the heartache
of being scorned & judged by family
But what we hope you find
is a home in us

And we hope you find
a home in us.

Bridge
Come and lean on our shoulder here,
you’re valid and you’re loved.

We’re here with you, we care for you,
it’s okay cry.

You didn’t deserve it, you’re not those things
that they say you are.

You’re free with us, you’re safe with us,
We’re here to hold you tight. We’re here to hold you tight.

Verse 3
Look how wonderful you are
shinning brightly like a star,
To us you’re beautiful,
tender, dear, just the way you are.

Chorus:
We can never erase the hatred
of this world so harsh, so full of harm,
But what we hope you find
is a home in us

And we hope you find
a home in us.
a home in us.
a home in us.

Warmth ripped out of your chest, wandering while wondering how the hell you ended up here - that's what this captures. Rage, pure incredulous loss, the weight of expectations from without and within. Trying to let go with equal parts anger and apology. All with a voice that goes the whole range, beautiful and strained. This hits fucking hard. Thank you for being here. Vela_Aurelia64

by themme fatale

Recorded over the space of a year, the vivid pop songs on the latest from themme fatale match sugary hooks with diaristic lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2022

by bly wallentine

Wonderfully absurdist pop songs that manage the tricky balance of humor and hookiness—The Exquisite Corpse as ’60s pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 4, 2022

(23) I FEEL YOU EVERYWHERE
by metagirl

Heartfelt without being cloying and playful while delving below the surface, the lo-fi indie of Metagirl embraces chaos and contradiction. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 7, 2023
