  1. Only just watched and listened to Changeling by Lydia the Bard.

    As a very neurospicy person who has struggled like this for many decades, it really hits hard 🥺

    Especially with lyrics like these:

    I'm a warped reflection
    Mending cracks with glue
    I’m racing to fix them
    Just gotta convince them
    That I’m one of them too

    and

    Start walking
    Stop talking
    Keep smiling
    Too widely
    Be normal
    Pretend there’s
    A human inside me

  2. CW: Emotional, powerful song (with animated music video) about predatory men (violating consent, abuse, SA, domestic violence, rape)

    Hopefully the CW we've added for this is sufficient, but if it's not, please do let us know what amendments we can make to it 🥺

    We felt we had to share this though, as the song and corresponding music video are both so intense, powerful, and haunting.

    Lydia the Bard - Feed Us Your Girls (Official Animatic Video)

    Lyrics:

    A young girl or a pretty meal
    The line is just so fine
    Little Red walked out alone
    Joining the buffet of the night

    See the wolves they wait and watch and howl hoping for a bite
    Of fresh meat on a busy street the minute you're out of sight

    Little Red walked out alone
    Joining the buffet of the night

    But Little Red, she knows these streets,
    So why should she be afraid?
    She walks out with her blood red cloak
    But red's his favourite shade

    You'll attract the wrong attention wearing colours such as those

    Boys will be boys, wolves will be wolves
    But what does mother know!

    Feed us your girls
    The wolves shout out
    Feed us the ones with curves the ones without
    Feed us your girls
    From plate to mouth
    Honey you're the entrée when you dress like that
    And mother's not around

    Dawn arrives and dinner scraps
    Are on the street from just last night
    People whisper "it's her fault
    with a red so very bright"

    A silly girl
    A common whore
    Someone cover up that sight
    No one likes to see leftovers by the dawning light

    And there's a buffet every night

    But Little Red she knew those woods
    Each tree and every stone
    Doesn't matter either way
    When there's a wolf inside your Home

    You can hear the growling
    So You throw the dog a bone
    You'll catch more bees with honey dear
    But what does mother know

    Feed us your girls
    The wolves shout out
    Feed us the ones with curves the ones without
    Feed us your girls
    From plate to mouth
    Honey you're the entrée when you dress like that
    And mother's not around

    Little Red was not a meal
    A little girl is not a tease
    A cloak is not an invitation for what's underneath

    Our no does not mean yes
    There no riddle, there's no test
    Blood red clothes alone at night shouldn't equal death

    But the wolves are very hungry
    Gnashing pointed teeth
    Don't care what the wrapper's like
    It'll eat you if you breathe

    So maybe it doesn't matter
    How we choose to wrap our skin
    Cos you'd prefer to blame a girl
    Then deal with your own sin

    Feed us your girls
    The wolves shout out
    Feed us the ones with curves the ones without
    Feed us your girls
    From plate to mouth
    Honey you're the entrée when you dress like that
    And mother's not around
