Always

A little song I wrote for my Queer and Trans family to remind you that you are valid, whether you are out or not in any given moment at any given time!! I chose to put the name "Joanna" in the parentheses. Feel free to substitute with a name that gives you power when you decide whether or not to use it.

Ocean Emotion - -Tiny Desk Contest 2020

What causes us to silence each other? What makes us feel silenced or afraid to speak up? Is our silence protecting anyone? How can we fight back?

Lyrics:
In every generation,
There are a chosen few who may share the revelations,
that create the world anew.

They'll be our inspiration,
They'll be our life and blood and they will lead the nation,
through a hundred clouds of mud,

We wait for them to tell us,
what we should do or say,
and when they give instructions,
we ignore them anyway...

We can't survive without them,
they fight to keep us free,
In spite of our ability
to drown in apathy...

We search for meaning inside
small cocoons manifesting as our office desks and...
practice rooms.

But if we cannot take responsibility,
we may trap ourselves as caterpillars,
sleeping for eternity.

We sleep through daily shootings.
We sleep as if we're free.
We sleep through calls to action,
phone on silent in the night.

Alarm bells ringing.....
If only we could listen and wake up to the alarm

Shadadada yadadada,
Shadadada da dayadada dada da,
Shadada dada dat dat dah,,,

Sleep

FlightOrVisibility (aka Rafael Natan) is an arts organizer, educator, and songwriter who believes that visibility is a superpower whether chosen or not. Using the violin and voice together, their music reminds us that activism is love, self-care is love, and it is our duty to express these loves. In community, you will find FlightOrVisibility doing work for Weird Folk Fest, a grassroots performance series with programming based around community needs; Make Shift Boston where they serve as the events coordinator; and as an oboist and backup singer for Anaís Azul, a Peruvian diaspora baroque pop artist who sings songs of healing. They also perform as part of Petting Kazoo, a queer multi-instrumentalist classical-folk cross-over duo, and are the founder of the Boston Artists Employment Network.
