At The Seams by kimyadawson published on 2015-08-18T20:22:49Z 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.

You gave me chills. As a first generation Mexican-American, I too wish to tear this racist system down at the seams. 2020-06-24T20:53:16Z Comment by Rosie also, its just truth 2020-06-13T12:54:02Z Comment by Rosie 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. 2020-06-13T12:41:45Z Comment by Diana Spatz I came here looking for you, hoping I’d saved this.

They don't understand the movement because they have blinders on thier heads by the news they watch and try to tell me that its "those black kids' fault" but I stand with those same black folks to tell them how worng they really are. 2016-02-25T17:03:01Z
