Pride month song for 2024..thanks for listening

This is not about you,
Your life is not about who I love, or the things I do
You’re not the one that I answer to

But it’s not about me
There’s more to life than i will ever know, than i’ll ever see
I don’t hurt anyone just let this be

I have no voice but I can speak
I don’t like what you do to me
I say it’s time we make a stand

It’s more than tonight
It’s more than my fight
This is my right
This is my life

Do you feel the beat
It’s the pulse of the world
Where the people meet to let their flag unfurl

Do you feel it?

What does it matter to you
How i live my life, or what I believe, or the path I choose
Look inside, are you afraid to face the truth

We all need to be
Fragile and fearless, wild and free, you see 
for fate of the world, for our destiny 

Love is blind but I still see
And I don’t like what you’ve done to me
I see bloodstains on your hands!

Do you feel the beat
It’s the pulse of the world
Where the freaks all meet to let their flags unfurl

It's Not About You (PRIDE '24)

Walking through a sunlit meadow, Lily felt the soft brush of tall grasses against her legs and the gentle caress of a warm breeze on her face. The meadow was a vibrant tapestry of colorful flowers, their hues ranging from the deepest reds to the brightest yellows, with purples and blues sprinkled throughout. A relaxed guitar and piano instrumental titled "Meadow" played softly in her mind, each note a reflection of the beauty around her.

As she strolled through the riot of colors, Lily reminisced about the various phases of her life. Each flower seemed to represent a different chapter: the passionate reds of her youthful dreams, the calm blues of serene moments, the cheerful yellows of joyful times, and the deep purples of challenges overcome. The music's harmonious blend of guitar and piano mirrored the seamless way these experiences interwove, creating a rich and fulfilling life.

She paused to take in the scenery, breathing in the sweet fragrance of the blooms and feeling a deep sense of contentment. The meadow, with its diverse yet harmonious colors, reminded her of how life's ups and downs, joys and sorrows, all combined to form a beautiful, complete picture.

In that tranquil meadow, with the soothing instrumental playing in her mind, Lily felt a profound appreciation for the journey she had taken. The music and the flowers together symbolized the variety and richness of her life, a perfect blend of experiences that had brought her to this peaceful, fulfilling moment.

Devil in the details

Verse 
What Isn’t a blast from the past 
Calling 8 shots half a glass, so the world can kiss my ass 
I left with a man when the night began 
Wake up he’s a boy who calls a woman his toy 
Got no time for emotion, it restrains, takes away from his games 
God forbid I’m more important than a dota opponent 

Chorus
I’m more confident alone 
Can’t strike me down where I stand 
Who I’ve got ain’t grown 
Don’t ask me when he’ll be a man 

Verse 
Now here’s the thing about me 
When I find a man I’m all in
Why waste time on a good thing  
What I don’t find funny 
When he hits me up just to get lucky 

When I’m cold I get my own damn sweater 
In the long run it would treat me better
I’d hate to rely on someone when I can just get it done 

Chorus
I’m more confident alone can’t strike me down where I stand 
Who I’ve got ain’t grown, don’t ask me when he’ll be a man 

Bridge 
I get lonely, this is no invitation 
Don’t call me up say you made an observation 
Loving ain’t my only solution 

Chorus 
I’m more confident alone can’t strike me down where I stand 
Who I’ve got ain’t grown don’t ask me when he’ll be a man 

Instrumental

Chorus 
I’m more confident alone can’t strike me down where I stand 
Who I’ve got ain’t grown don’t ask me when he’ll be a man 
I’m more confident alone, yeah, oh
Who I’ve got ain’t grown

Grown

I’ve been standing on this hotel balcony 
Wondering why the world doesn’t see me 
How many places do I have to go 
Before I make it standing here ain’t gonna get me where I need to be 

I wanna be standing on the top of the eiffel tower
I wanna be dancing on the streets of barcelona 
I wanna be sitting on the shores of puerto rico 
To be doing anything but this would have me in wanderlust 

I’ve been thinking of all the places I could see 
And I don’t know why it hasn’t happened for... me 
How do I get there and what does it take
It don't seem fair 
Just tell me how and I will make it there I swear 

I wanna be standing on the top of the eiffel tower 
I wanna be dancing on the streets of barcelona 
I wanna be sitting on the shores of puerto rico 
To be doing anything but this would have me in wanderlust 

The nights get colder the days go longer 
I wonder why I’m here thinking about where I could be 
The list goes longer, Oh the places I could be… 

I wanna be standing on the top of the eiffel tower 
I wanna be dancing on the streets of barcelona 
I wanna be sitting on the shores of puerto rico 
To be doing anything but this would have me in wanderlust 

I wanna be standing on the top of the eiffel tower 
I wanna be dancing on the streets of barcelona 
I wanna be sitting on the shores of puerto rico 
To be doing anything but this would have me in wanderlust

Voice and acoustic guitar: David Dunham
Music composition, piano and electronic strings: Michele Ansani

Those recited by David are verses from one of the most famous poems and one of the greatest Italian poets of the 20th century (Eugenio Montale). They are taken from the collection entitled ‘Ossi di seppia’ ('The bones of cuttlefish'), published in Italy in 1925, and several times translated into English (alone or together with other works by Montale).
Many thanks to David (@david-dunhamuser589535203), who agreed to collaborate on this little creation, also adding his refined guitar phrasing. All the (usual) imperfections are mine.

Lyrics (ENGLISH / ORIGINAL ITALIAN)

Perhaps one morning going alone in the air of glass,
arid, lookin back, I shall see, with the terror
of a drunken man, the making of a miracle:
nothingness at my shoulders, the void behind me.

Then as on a screen, suddenly, trees house hills
will assemble themselves for the usual deception.
But it will be too late; and I shall go on, quiet,
with my secret, among the men who do not turn

---

Forse un mattino andando in un’aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi, vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.

Poi come s’uno schermo, s’accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l’inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me ne andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.
