I always felt heard when I listened to your songs about mental illness (I have bipolar type one) not many really hear us,  so I am listening to your song about BLM with as much of myself as I can spare. I love you, Kimya. 

I heard your song on The Intercept podcast.  You gave me chills.  As a first generation Mexican-American, I too wish to tear this racist system down at the seams.

I come back to this song everytime I feel hopelessness, thank you kimya

I came here looking for you, hoping I’d saved this. Four years later, and still true. 💔💔💔

Follow That Dream

Very rough version of a new song that I wanted to just share with a few friends until I got a better recording and practiced some more, because I don't play piano but it's not a guitar song. I realized that this is how it is meant to be though. Sloppy and dark and raw and sad and mad. I spent 5 years writing it. It's about messy messy things. All my love to the families and friends of the murdered and the many people fighting everyday for Black Lives and to end police brutality.

When I die 
Please bury me in New Hampshire 
I really like the leaves 
Don't be sad 
I've done my share of living 
I think I have to leave

Someday all the birds up in the sky 
Will just die
Oh well
And the sun 
It will burn out 
Oh well
You and I will die 
Oh wellx5

In the summer 
Just dig me up and 
Put me on the high line 
I really like the breeze
After that 
Just put me on a bus back to New Hampshire 
I think I had to leave 

Someday all the birds up in the sky 
Will just die
Oh well
And the sun 
It will burn out 
Oh well
You and I will die 
Oh wellx5

Someday all the birds up in the sky 
Will just die
Oh well
And the sun 
It will burn out 
Oh well
You and I will die 
Oh wellx5
