I know you’ll say “it’s a sin” but it’s not your choice to choose Don’t you mind that you’re threatening their lives with your views? You don’t give a damn, you’re just tryna scare ‘em but they’re standing in the paths of the flares you throw… When will you realize? The village burned to embers Your flames engulfed all the little lambs How many deaths will we watch before you understand? *Info* Song written from 2nd August 2021 to 9th August 2023 Recording planned and produced by me from 18th June to 20th August 2023 using Logic Pro Video planned and produced by me from 30th July to 22nd August 2023 using Final Cut Pro and Keynote 15th October 2024: switched to Standard Youtube license since there's no "CC-BY-NC and call me if you plan to make large sums of money" option All vocal recordings, backwards piano recordings, MIDI instruments, graphics, and images created or captured by me Barn Owl scream is from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology All other sounds are from the Logic Pro sound library Inspirations and influences for this song include, but are not limited to: BNL (not spelling out the band name because YouTube), Michael Shynes, twenty one pilots, Wrabel, Elvis Costello, Imagine Dragons, Televisor, Cavetown, Elton John Special thanks to my family and friends for helping me make this project the best it could be. This song is dedicated to all the queer and trans people whose human rights are being debated by politicians. It is addressed to those politicians who continue to manufacture this debate for votes, risking the lives of their own people in the process.

hi everyone! I hope you're participating in any elections going on near you – I recommend voting for zoning reform and climate action, and voting against bigots and their various stupidly idiotic ballot initiatives I've swapped away from Youtube's Creative Commons option on my videos because afaik it's just CC-BY, which is a little bit too permissive for bad actors for my taste. See my about box for my current policy, which is essentially CC-BY-NC/contact me if you want to do something more commercial in nature. Apparently there were also some videos I didn't make CC for no clear reason, so I don't know what was up with August 2023 me
